First things first, I have to say I was very blessed with a big capital B in 2011! It was a year in which the good things that are opportunity, luck, and desire came together to make things happen for me.
At times it felt overwhelming to work three jobs, go to school full-time for five classes, and volunteer but everything I was doing I was really into and in the end luckily (there's that word again) it worked better than I thought it would. So with that said here is my goodbye to 2011, or review of 2011 if you rather, looking at what happened in work, school, and what I learned in 2011.
Disclaimer: The following views are my personal views and not the views of my employers.
Work dominated my life in 2011. Things started fairly simple enough with my continued employment at my government job of three plus years, but by the end of 2011, I added two others, pushing my work commitments to three. Surprisingly, It went very smoothly. The two positions, both at school, one with the University of Ottawa (uOttawa) and the other with Redwood Strategic working on campus, added to my creativity, leadership, teamwork abilities.
uOttawa – Student Online Community Manager
Being a Student Online Community Manager (SOCM) for the uOttawa was a position I really wanted. The position is one where me, along with a team of three others, engage students at the university through social media, primarily using Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook. You can follow some of the conversation on our Twitter account here.
After attending various networking events that I have written about here, being a SOCM has really allowed me to jump deeper into social media, gain experience in public relations, and help grow the school's brand online. With planned presentations and a better understanding of what the student population is like, I'm looking forward to connecting with more students at uOttawa this year.
Windows Leader for Redwood Strategic
Getting the SOCM position definitely helped in getting this job. It was a quick turnaround from applying to the job then getting it but it was amazing how it all worked out. The first perk of the job was an all expenses paid flight to Toronto. Having not been on a plane since 94', this was great experience. As well with all of my fun trips to the city earlier in the year, I welcomed going back again.
In addition to myself, I travelled with three other students from uOttawa. Our group would be joined by other students from provinces all across Canada, from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, for two days of training and getting to know more about Windows/Microsoft. It's really cool being able to say you know someone in each province of the country, but there was way more too it than this.
There was more to learn about Microsoft as a company, and what the program, being a Windows leader on the uOttawa campus is all about. Basically our job is to hold personalized demos with students one on one, teaching them how to use Windows 7 effectively in all they do at school. After having these short demos, for each student that listens to me blab, they get a token of appreciation that enters them into a draw for gift cards as well as a new PC. But it gets better. Microsoft will also donate $5 for every token redeemed, to a maximum of $500, to a campus organization we choose ( I chose the Centre for Community and Global Engagement) which in short, helps students, faculty and staff at uOttawa find volunteer opportunities as well as supports grassroots initiatives.
In the end it's a big win for everyone involved, as I get to do what I love doing, networking, the student learns something new, and the organization gets another source of money. As well for Microsoft, they get to re position themselves again as a leader in the tech space, by building a community of people who use their products. After an intense two days, one in which there was a lot of product training on Windows 7 and brand new laptops, the Samsung Series 9 notebooks, the experience was over. I learned so much from true leaders, the founders of the program and those from Campus Perks, who have made their dreams a reality, as well as my fellow peers from across the country.
I'm going to miss school life (I think) when it's all done. Being six years into postsecondary schooling, now with only one more year left, has me thinking about this. Going to campus, connecting with your peers, is a unique time and experience. Although I won't miss the bad profs, horrible groups, and useless assignments. With that said last years fall semester went so smooth, as I only had two exams for my five classes, and not a lot of homework. So it wasn't all that bad.
Three important things I learned in 2011
1. Leadership
I want to be a leader. It's very satisfying having the responsibility of putting others around you in positions to be successful, being in charge, and also part of the reason for success in what your doing, whether that be on an assignment, project, or another initiative. In 2011, through these different jobs and in school, I got the chance to develop my leadership skills. The respect you get as someone who is counted on for anything, be it opinions, advice or what have you is great. But being able to encourage change and progress is so much better. I think I embraced not standing around, waiting for others to take charge and realized I could do it myself. However, it really is important who you surround yourself with, which leads me into my second point.
2. Teamwork
It's really important who you surround yourself with. I always thought I knew this in my personal life, with my parents who kept hammering it home to me, in regards to my friends, but it's clear that in the work and school world it is just as important. In 2011, being on good teams made coming together fun and enjoyable, as everyone was on the same page. This lead to some great results (90 percent on a research project, Windows demos on campus). I'm looking forward to doing more of this in 2012.
3. Preparation, Deadlines, Goals
I learned that paying close attention to each of these three areas was a key for my success in 2011. They are intertwined and rely on each other, basically from the point of view that your preparation leads to you making deadlines, which in turn help you reach your goals.
Before I used to set goals that were far in the future, without putting more emphasis on my short term goals. It was important to learn that I need to take more logical steps, to get from A to B first should be a priority, rather than A to C. .
Goodbye 2011
2011 was a amazing year for me to grow more and mature through all these experiences in work, school, and life. Hopefully, using a common sports reference, it was my "breakout season", and I can continue the momentum into this new year, 2012. There is so much out there and so much possibilities in avenues to take, it's going to be exciting how it all plays out in 2012.

We paid a visit to the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank this afternoon. The weather was sunny and mild on this late December day. Employees and their guests scurried about and the Disney Store was swamped with customers. All this activity prompted a few thoughts about another Disney December. Another holiday time many years ago.
You see, things were rather low key back in the sixties. The Walt Disney Studio had already undergone two massive layoffs after the completion of Sleeping Beauty and 101 Dalmatians. Disney's animation staff had once numbered in the hundreds. Now, it felt as though we were a handful of stragglers left over from a massive battle. The battle of course, was the effort to keep animation alive at the Walt Disney Studio. It would appear that economics would play a critical role in that important decision and we continually struggled to prove that animation could be viable. It was a year of hard work cranking out the reams of footage required for the new Walt Disney animated feature.
Now, it was holiday time and the residents of D-wing gathered in the hallway to exchange gifts, laughs and a generous dose of holiday cheer. Key Assistant Animator, Dale Oliver as always, made his holiday glogg. It was a Scandinavian winter drink that mixes wine, port and spices like clove, cardamom and cinnamon to make for a brew that smells divine and tastes even better. However, those who take too many sips of Dale's holiday brew may find themselves sound asleep in their Kem Webber lounge chairs for the remainder of the afternoon. As the old veterans laughed and joked in the hallway, I couldn't help count myself as one very lucky guy. Somehow I had managed to survive the layoffs and score a primo job assisting Milt Kahl. As I looked up and down the hallway of D-wing I couldn't believe the company I was in. These guys were the best Disney had to offer. Milt Kahl, Eric Larson, Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston and John Lounsbery gathered along with assistants, Stan Green, John Roth, Leroy Cross, Burny Mattinson, Al Stetter and many others. Upstairs, the old maestro, Walt Disney roamed the hallways sharing the spirit of the season. On occasion, Walt would stop in at D-wing because of the Nine Old Men. Would he pay a visit this morning, I wondered? Walt had a way of suddenly turning up unexpectedly. In any case, I counted myself lucky this 1960's Christmas season. If you're celebrating the holidays, I can't think of a better place than the Walt Disney Studio.

Mt. Hood's Old-Growth Wilderness Odyssey Tour
Experience "Mount Hood's Old-Growth Wilderness Odyssey" with your class. Participants will learn about both the Rivers and the Forests in this inter-disciplinary approach that also illustrates how history and culture relates to the natural environment.
Spend time with your class amongst giants --- the Ancient Trees of Mount Hood. This 33-acre Old-Growth site consists of Douglas-Fir, Cedar, and Hemlock, in addition to Cottonwood, Big-Leaf Maple, and Oak, which dominate the overhead canopy, leaving one to pursue their field studies, to write in their journal, to capture what they can with their art, and to even question their role in Nature and how they can live together in harmony. There is also a small lake, river, wetlands and lots of wildlife and Salmon.
Visually, those special places visited during "Mount Hood's Old-Growth Wilderness Odyssey", can be overwhelming. There are towering trees, some hundreds - while others are thousands - of years old. Downed logs accent this special ecosystem, forming unique nutrient-rich beds where new trees and plants can sprout. Snarled "Snags" and "Wildlife Trees" provide homes for many species of animals, as well as artistically transitioning the "Riparian Zones".
Within the confines of Mount Hood's Old-Growth, the Salmon River sings its eternal songs. Born on the snow and ice-packed slopes of this Mountain the Native Americans call "Wy'East", it flows through Canyons and Meadows, and then drops over cliffs in the form of Waterfalls.
The Salmon River moves towards its mouth, where it joins the Sandy River with a determination that makes one believe that it will always be with us. Huge boulders, torn from Mount Hood during its eruptions, slows its waters and disrupts its wildness, while logs, downed trees, and root wads create pools and a stillness that will make one halt in their tracks and contemplate where they have been and where they are going.
Here, within the waters of this great waterway that Native Americans have sometimes referred to as "Coyote's River", the remnants of some once-great populations of fish still survive. Salmon, Steelhead, Sea-Run Trout, and Lamprey Eel continue their struggle with their
existence, where they are born in the high-mountain streams, swim to the Ocean where they spend years, and then return some four years later to spawn in these waters.
It is here that the participants of "Mount Hood's Old-Growth Wilderness Odyssey" can trek amongst an impressive landscape that serves as the home of many wildlife species. Deer, Elk, Coyote, Cougar, Bobcat, Raccoon, Badger, Mink, Porcupine, Bald and Golden Eagles, Owls and Hawks of all species, and hundreds of different types of birds, including the
cantankerous Ravens and scolding Jays, all live in or utilize the Old-Growth and the River and its riparian area.
Our "Mount Hood's Old-Growth Wilderness Odyssey" can introduce you to new places for exploration and study. These could be giant trees that occupy an Old-Growth Forest, a small Lake, River, Wetlands, or lots of habitat for fish and wildlife.
"Mount Hood's Old-Growth Wilderness Odyssey" takes you to places dominated by peacefulness. Standing beneath these "Giants of Time", you can hear the callings of Nature --- the wind as it reaches its presence through the Forest, the rain as it blesses the landscape, the River moving forth in its changing moods of the different seasons as its currents make their timeless sweep of its stream channel, and the birds who capture the excitement in the air with their songs.
Standing beneath the giant trees, participants in "Mount Hood's Old-Growth Wilderness Odyssey" will see where, at one time, Native Americans came to strip bark off of Cedar trees to make baskets for Huckleberries. Once made, these First People would venture up from this point onto the adjacent Huckleberry Mountain to pick in fields where their tribe had been coming since the beginning of time.
Along the River, one can still see the place where for centuries Native Americans had constructed a fish trap and then speared fish. Nearly forgotten today, the participants in "Mount Hood's Old-Growth Wilderness Odyssey" can stand in the footsteps of these First People and learn about the philosophy of the First People, why you must have respect for Nature, and why you must always utilize what you harvest and never waste anything.
Through our "Mount Hood's Old-Growth Wilderness Odyssey", you are provided with a unique outdoor classroom which will allow you to study environmental science, fisheries, social studies, language arts, history, art, and more. These special places of Nature that we visit can be utilized to write, to sketch, to research, or just sit down and have a quiet conversation with one another or even with one's self.
"Mount Hood's Old-Growth Wilderness Odyssey" introduces you to what has been with us from the beginning of time, or as the First People say: "since time immemorial". Let the Cascade Geographic Society design a unique and special field trip or field studies outing to fit your needs through our "Mount Hood's Old-Growth Wilderness Odyssey". Give us a call at (503) 622-4798 for more details. We will design a program to fit your needs.

AlpineLinux: Adjusting Xen VM to run on KVM
Pre-Migration Changes
Adjust the following items to ensure a successful update.
Kernel Modules
You need to load additional kernel modules at boot:
Add them to /etc/update-extlinux.conf
# modules # modules which should be loaded before pivot_root modules=sd-mod,usb-storage,ext4,virtio,virtio_blk
Regenerate your initrd
# update-extlinux -v Updating extlinux configuration. Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-grsec Found initramfs: /boot/initramfs-grsec 1 entries found. Installing libutil.c32 libcom32.c32 mboot.c32 menu.c32 vesamenu.c32 to /boot. /boot is device /dev/vda1
(The boot device can still show your old one, that's not a problem)
Disable the Xen console in inittab
# enable login on alternative console #hvc0::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 hvc0
Check that acpid is enabled
# rc-update acpid | default bootmisc | boot chronyd | default
Check your /etc/fstab
At the least change your disk paths from xvdN to vdN (Xen Blockfront to VirtIO Block).
If you're a big smarter, change them to mount using LABEL or UUID. That way you need almost no changes to migrate between different hypervisors.
When it's just too late
If you need to do this on a VM that was already migrated and doesn't boot, see how to get your root mounted in single user mode:
You'll also need to add the virtio modules to your command line (like the others there, you'll see it)

Highroller Casino Review
General Info
Established in 2017, Highroller Casino is undoubtedly one of the newbies in the industry. Registered with Betit Operations Ltd Casinos, Highroller has licensing from the Maltese Gaming Authority (MGA) and the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). The casino accepts gamers from an international base except for Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain and the United States.
This online casino is developed around the concept of living and making it in a Metrocity. The casino's landing page has a blank avatar, waiting to be customised and a Metrocity to be revealed. Thus, during gameplay, the avatar created by the gamer will be exploring and living through the Metrocity. It has a cool and edgy feel to it making gamblers feel more like fun gamers than bet wagers. The entire page is easy on the eyes, not much of colour other than the main yellow and black forming the casino logo and taken from the 'crime scene' sense.
Bonuses & Promotions
Every player at Metrocity deserves a chance to get a taste of the casino's exclusive offers. One such exclusive offer is found in their welcome bonus, a package which includes 50 free spins and 200% up to $/£/€100. If you deposit with $/£/€50, you get to play with $/£/€150 and 50 free spins. The free spins are split in the following manner;
|1st Day
|10 Free spins for Warlords: Crystals of Power
|2nd Day
|10 Free spins for Gold Lab
|3rd Day
|10 Free spins for Spinions Beach Party
|4th Day
|10 Free spins for Starburst
|5th Day
|10 Free spins for Sticky Bandits
The above mentioned welcome bonus is only a beginning of good promotions in the casino.
At Highroller.com, gamers get to enjoy the loyalty rewards which are available by becoming an affiliate. Since the casino is still young, it needs as much help as possible to get word about its existence in as many homes as possible. Gamblers can use the casino's Loyalty engine to find more information on becoming an affiliate.
Games & Software
Highroller Casino manages to live up to the hype around its name. There is an excess of 1000 games in the casino. These are all divided into categories. There are Top Games, Slots, Table Games, Video Jackpots, Live Dealer as well as other games. Once on the site, it is up to you to control the games displayed, and these can be shown by selecting the respective category.
The top casino games at Highroller include the likes of Reactoonz, Sticky Bandits, Blackjack Classic, Chilli Heat, Dream Catcher, Vikings Go Berzerk and Caishen's Gold. Slots and jackpots are actually the treasure that thrill seekers should watch out for when playing through Metrocity. The jackpots games present players with the opportunity to cash out ridiculously high amounts of money. Alongside most mentioned under Top Games, the slots include; Universal Monsters: The Phantom's Curse, Ra's Legend as well as Beowulf. At Highroller Casino, the table games have an impressive diversity including Baccarat Pro, European Blackjack, and Caribbean Stud Hi-Lo.
Players who feel more at home in the presence of a human dealer will feel right at home with Highroller's Live Casino. Most of the Live Casino games are powered by NetEnt, and the graphics are nothing short of phenomenal. In case you are still bored with these categories, then check out the Other Games section for more thrills.
It is not possible to activate the demo mode without making a deposit first. So, it is not possible for players to take games for a 'test drive' before depositing.
There are coins that your avatar collects as it weaves through the city avoiding losing points. These coins can be exchanged in the Casino's shop for significant prices. Exchanging the coins for cash is not tied to any wagers. Players can either use the money to place more bets or simply withdraw the cash.
Highroller Casino supports mobile gaming. More than half of the casino's enticing games are available for players to enjoy via Mobile Gaming. The fully optimisable casino on mobile can be played on a various platform including smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. Switching between devices without disturbing the game on the play is possible.
Payments, Safety & Security
Highroller.com is a GiG casino (a little brother of Thrills, SuperLenny, and Kaboo). Most GiG casinos have secure and reliable banking options. Making deposits and withdrawing from Highroller is dependent on the selected banking method. Currently, their banking options for Highroller Casino include:
- Visa
- MasterCard
- Maestro
- Trustly
- Neteller
- Skrill
- Euteller
- Zimpler
- Ukash
It is no secret that GiG casinos take verification and customer data importantly. The casino thrives on making sure that its esteemed members feel secure and safe while navigating their casino. Highroller is no exception. The casino operates under a constantly upgraded SSL encryption, and members' financial and personal data is protected.
Support at Highroller Casino is available in different ways. The most constant being the FAQs, a section compiled through integrating the most asked questions. You can also reach support via their email [email protected]. For those seeking immediate attention or need help when playing, get hold of support via Live Chat available 24/7.
Should I deposit my money and play at Highroller Casino?
The reason you searched for this review initially is to know whether or not to invest in Highroller. Based on the fact that the casino is licensed by both MGA and UKGC, it seems lucrative to sign up and play for real money. Between these two licensing boards, Highroller is under a lot of scrutinies and would do everything in their power to keep up the security and ensure gaming remains fair and free. It will not hurt to sign up and deposit money to try one's luck. Additionally, given that this is a relatively new casino, they are doing well and deserve a chance, to be trusted and for gamers to experience it themselves.

By Marc Rogers
Whether fishing a tournament or enjoying a relaxing day on the water anglers always seem to run out of time to catch fish. Even when catching many fish throughout the day we always seem to want a few more minutes of fishing when it is time to call it a day. There are countless ways to add more time to your fishing day without exceeding your fishing time according to your watch.
Being prepared is the key to adding more fishing time. Simple things like having the boat organized for launching when you get to the ramp and having all of your tackle inside the boat and organized will make a difference. If you do not fish from a boat, having your tackle organized inside your boxes will also make a difference.
When returning home from an outing many anglers put their boat away in the condition is was in at the end of the day. Tackle laying on the deck and floor, rods with backlashed reels and lures in the wrong boxes and are common. This creates lost fishing time during the next outing if not corrected before leaving home. By cleaning up the mess and properly storing your tackle, you could add several minutes onto you next trip. Remove those rods and reels that need line, cleaning or repair and get it completed before needing them next time.
Make sure your rods are clearly marked to indicate the length and action. Many rods look alike when in a rod locker and time is wasted when searching for the one you need for that certain application. Most rods have markings on them but some are difficult to read unless removed from your rod locker. Develop a color or number system to help identify your tackle at a glance.
Several manufacturers of fishing line provide small removable stickers to place on your tackle to indicate line size you have on a reel. Use them, or acquire something similar, and keep them updated each time you change line. This allows you to match your line weight with the lures you are presenting without having to guess what line you have on your reel.
There is no one size fits all when it comes to organizing tackle. Depending on how an angler spends most of his/her time fishing is a good indication on what may fit best. However, seldom do anglers need to take all of their tackle on every trip. Season and conditions will dictate what tackle is most effective and what is not necessary. Therefore, I have found storing tackle in the flat storage boxes like the Plano 3600 and 3700 series best meet my needs. They are versatile and easily marked on the outside to reveal the contents at a quick glance. Individual boxes for each category of lures you carry are ideal for most anglers.
In addition, these styles of boxes are convenient to store in boat lockers as well as carry in bags made for their size. The bags make it easy to transfer tackle to another angler's boat. Bags also make it easy to take the necessary tackle for an outing where a boat is not used. Bags are not always a good way to store tackle in a boat locker as the bag takes up valuable space. When storing in a boat locker I have found it is best to store the boxes individually in the lockers.
Mark on the outside of the boxes using a permanent marker on tags or masking tape on at least two edges and the lid. This makes the markings easy to read regardless of how they are stored. The tags or tape makes it easy to change labels if necessary.
Similar organizing application for all items used when fishing also pays big dividends. Smaller bags and containers are best with similar items stored together. It makes is easy to find what you are looking for quickly leaving more time for you to keep a lure in the water.

The Washington Postleads with Pentagon and congressional officials saying the administration, if it's still around post-inauguration, plans to ask for about $70 billion in emergency military funding for Iraq and Afghanistan. That would bring the total cost of operations since the beginning of the invasion to $225 billion. The Post mentions that the Army's "deferral of needed repairs over the past year" has added to the bill. The State Department and CIA will be making their own requests for cash. The New York Timesleads with "administration officials" saying the White House has decided —via a "new legal opinion"—that despite pronouncements suggesting otherwise, foreign fighters captured in Iraq are notprotected by the Geneva Conventions and can be shipped out the country. USA Todayleads with the Supreme Court's announcement that Chief Justice Rehnquist has thyroid cancer and has been given a tracheotomy . The court is keeping quiet on Rehnquist's condition—the NYT notes that the court "declined to say" whether Rehnquist got additional surgery—but independent doctors said a tracheotomy is a hint that it's serious. Slate's Dahlia Lithwick ponders the implications, or lack thereof. The Los Angeles Timesleads with a poll showing Bush and Kerry tied among both registered and likely voters. USAT has a poll showing Bush five points ahead, a bit narrower than the same poll a week ago.
The Wall Street Journal tops its world-wide newsbox with Bush on the campaign trail battling (without mentioning) bad news, in particular the missing 380 tons of high-grade explosives in Iraq. Pam Am Flight 103 was brought down by one-half pound of the stuff. U.N. inspectors, whom the administration would not let return post-invasion, last saw the stockpile shortly before the war and had warned the U.S. about it.
Over the weekend, the Post reported that the CIA has taken some Iraqi prisoners out of the country, in defiance of the Geneva Conventions. The unnamed administration officials in the NYT's lead argue that with the new legal finding, the policy is legit. "No matter what the provision is in the Geneva Convention, they are subject to legal interpretation," said a "Justice Department official." The NYT doesn't check that with outside counsel.
The Post's editorial page doesn't need to: "While blaming the crimes at Abu Ghraib on a small group of low-ranking soldiers, the White House, the Pentagon and the CIA have fought to preserve the exceptional and sometimes secret policies that allow U.S. personnel to violate the Geneva Conventions and other laws governing the handling and interrogation of foreign detainees. Under those policies, practices at odds with basic American values continue—even if there are no sensational photos to document them."
In Iraq violence: A bomb exploded near the Australian embassy, killing three Iraqis and wounding three Australian soldiers. Elsewhere in Baghdad, an Estonian soldier was killed and five wounded by a roadside bomb. In Mosul, three Iraqis were killed when insurgents bombed a government building. And a city councilman was assassinated just south of Baghdad. The Post counts "at least 13 Iraqis" killed, including five civilians in fighting Ramadi. The WP also says a suicide car bomber hit a U.S. convoy just south of Baghdad, but there was no word of casualties.
A USAT front-pager says the Pentagon is "considering" adding 20,000 troops to Iraq for January's elections, probably by simply holding over GIs who are slated to go home. The Journal made a similar suggestion last month.
The NYT goes inside with a top NASA scientist who plans to give a speech today slamming the president for dilly-dallying on, and denying, global warming.
In another impressive assessment, the Post looks at President Bush's record on counter-proliferation. The paper says Libya has been a success—albeit with a big assist by Britain—while the policies, or lack thereof, on North Korea and Iran have been disastrous. Iran has marked by paralyzing disputes within the administration, while the administration essentially put off Pyongyang, a policy one "participant" in decisions called "no carrot, no stick and no talk." The Post also says the U.S. had solid info about A.Q. Khan's order-nukes-by-mail business in early 2001 but waited a year and a half to deal, and then only after the strong urging of the British. "They made no attempt to get a handle on his activities abroad," said one former Bush assistant secretary of state.
All of which one former Ford and Clinton-era official called second-fiddle to the "principal, major national security threat to the United States": loose nukes in Russia. The Post says the White House has proposed cutting funds to the program that helps secure them.

Free App Friday – Getting to Know Cancer
The past 6 months I have gotten to know the Disease called Cancer just a little too well. I watched my Grandfather and my Step Dad both lose battles to this insidious and undiscriminating killer only to have the worst possible news arrive to me a couple of months ago…my Mom who had been Cancer Free for almost 5 years was facing yet another battle for her life. The gut punch that this was…I knew that there had to be a way out of all the muck and mire that had been thrown my way but I didn't really know where to turn…then when I was in the hospital for the Pre-Op meeting with the Doctor's, Nurses and Specialist…a light came on for me…turn to the Internet and to my Smartphone for some assistance! There are several interesting Apps available for the Android System, many of which are sponsored by the ASCO or American Society of Clinical Oncology but the one that stuck out at me was called bodyxq Cancer. The "XQ" stands for Excursion so I figured what the … Read more

The Big Issue : Edition 439
If you have a question for our Agony Aunts, please email it to email@example.com If your letter is longer than the Great Wall of China we reserve the right to edit it. Milly Parker is the Yooralla Disability Ambassador. At 21 she acquired a brain injury (ABI) as a result of a car accident. It changed her life...for the better! Sick of being told she was broken and useless, Milly gave the world a two-fnger salute and is now a successful businesswoman, public speaker on disability issues and mentor. Her business 'Happy Yappers' has won numerous awards and is her pride and joy. For all the goss go to www.happyyappers.com.au Father Bob Maguire is the irrepressible 'mad priest' (self-described). When it comes to the Catholic Church, this selfess man of God is a perpetual pain in the you know where. Although the church hierarchy was done with him, Father Bob wasn't done with the church. In 2003 he established the Father Bob Maguire Foundation which continues to feed, support, nurture and uplift those who need a helping hand. Money is always in short supply so please consider supporting Father Bob's mission. You can read it all at www.fatherbob.org.au Shortly after I married I had a car accident and became a quadriplegic. My wife became my primary carer. I'm now 45 and over the last few years our relationship has broken down to the point where we are seeking a divorce. This is difficult for me as I have relied on my wife for my personal and financial well-being. What options do I have? -- Greg, 45, Swan Hill Ask the Agony Aunts We often think of the challenges facing ageing parents who are distressed about the fate of their loved one when they pass on, but we don't think about other types of isolation such as the one our writer presents here. It is indeed a vexed issue. Keep your questions coming and our Agony Aunts will do their best to answer them. ADVERTISEMENT The views and opinions of Milly Parker and Father Bob expressed in this article are not intended to represent professional advice. Says Milly: Anecdotal evidence suggests that a signifcant number of people who divorce have a disability, possibly because of the added pressures that it can place on a relationship. Any relationship breakdown can be tough, but the impact for a person with disability can be amplifed, especially where a partner has been the main carer. The fnancial implications can also be signifcant if it means fnding alternative accommodation and other supports. But no-one should be forced to stay in a relationship if they're not happy. There are organisations that can help you transition to living independently like Spinal Cord Australia www.scia.org.au. Hey, I've been there! It's tough, but four years on I'm living independently and as happy as a pig in the proverbial. Who would have thought I would be happy paying bills! Says Father Bob: Having a roof over your head, a person to pick up where your wife left off and a few bob in your pocket are immediate concerns. I understand that very well and there are ways to access those through various agencies. But I also know that one's psychological and spiritual wellbeing at a time like this is no less important. I often think of the parallel between being a person with a disability and a competitor in the Stawell Gift. The 'Gift' is Australia's oldest short distance running race where "competitors are handicapped according to their form" but still expected to win. Well, I'm here to tell you that the way things stand for most people with disability, the odds are stacked against you. Whatever options you explore, consider counselling as part of the mix.

Jeep calls it the fastest and most powerful SUV in the world. The 2018 Grand Cherokee Trackhawk does have an insane 707 hp engine and top track speed of 180 mpg. And it comes with a launch-control button and 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds.
So maybe they ain't lyin'.
Jeep borrowed its supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat engine, good for 645 pound-feet of torque, from the muscular Charger/Challenger cousins and dropped it into the Grand Cherokee. The result was a thrilling, neck-jarring straight-line speed to 60 in 3.5 seconds — or less — and a quarter-mile in 11.8 seconds.
That'll run down anything in its class — Porsche Cayenne Turbo, BMW M-Class and Mercedes AMG — and will send many sports cars limping home, too.
Trackhawk looks menacing enough, with its racy fascia and heat-extracting hood scoops. Fog lights were removed and replaced with additional air intakes. Quad exhaust tips belch out the sounds, and "Supercharged" badges mark the door wall and sills. Inside, a flat-bottom wheel and swaths of carbon fiber affirm its identity.
So let's cut to the chase: Put it in Track mode, plant your left foot firmly on the brake pedal and press the launch button in the center console. The brake pressure builds and the engine revs to 2,000-plus rpm, then a new torque reserve system holds that rpm while allowing it to build additional boost. Now, with your right foot, press the accelerator to the floor and free the brake.
The front end lifts up, your head pulls back and you let out a whoo-hoo! (For the record, this should be done on a track, with a helmet). Trackhawk times are said to top the Grand Cherokee SRT by a full second on 0-60 and the quarter mile.
Power gets distributed by Jeep's TorqueFlite 8-speed transmission which is capable — in Track mode — of shifting in microseconds. Torque split is flexible, sending 60 percent to the rear in Auto mode but keeping a 50-50 split in Track mode.
Now big power needs big brakes and Trackhawk has the largest brakes ever planted on a Jeep: 6-piston Brembo brakes with monster 15.4-inch rotors up front, 4-piston in the rear, all with yellow calipers.
Trackhawk, not unexpectedly, lags in one competition: fuel economy. EPA figures put it at 11 mpg city, 17 highway for a combined 13 mpg. Being the fastest SUV doesn't come cheap.
But, other than being thirsty, the 'Hawk behaves reasonably well as a daily driver. While a bit stiff, the Bilstein adaptive system keeps the ride comfortable on most surfaces. The supercharger doesn't whine as much during regular driving. And, five drive modes accommodate most any condition. Beyond Auto and Track — which adjusts suspension, steering and torque — other modes include Sport, Snow and Tow.
Trackhawk has all the space for passengers and cargo as the regular Grand Cherokees, plus a towing capacity of 7,200 pounds. An 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen is one of the best in the industry, and it features performance pages to monitor your exploits at the track.
It is well equipped with standard safety equipment, too, including adaptive cruise with forward collision warning and braking, blind spot and cross traffic monitors.
A Jeep spokesman couldn't provide early figures, but said Trackhawk sales are expected to be "stout" in this first full year of production.
Not bad for an $86K SUV with an options list that can quickly jack up the sticker to $100K. Consider a fully leather-wrapped interior ($4,995), rear-seat dual-screen DVD player ($1,995), Harman Kardon sound system with 19 speakers and 825-watt amplifier (another $1,995), and dual-pane sunroof with suede headliner ($2,095) and you get the picture.
Guess that's life in the fast lane.
2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk
Base Price: $85,900
As tested: $101,555 (with full leather interior, dual-screen entertainment system, 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound, dual-pane sunroof)
What's all the excitement about? The new Trackhawk is billed as the fastest and most powerful SUV in the world
Powertrain: 707-hp, 6.2-liter supercharged engine mated to 8-speed TorqueFlite automatic engine with launch control feature
How's the performance? Crazy fast: 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, quarter-mile in 11.8
What about fuel economy? Did you have to ask? EPA-rated at 11 mpg city, 17 mpg highway; combined 13 mpg

metal roof insulation
Guest User
|my roof contractor just change my metal roof contract from [email protected] install triflex 30 underlayment to feltex. I am getting a better deal or I got scam? what are the comparison?? I am in sunny california where temperature is around 100 degree during summer for 2-3 months. currently I have woodshake.. Is it metal roof cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter?? anybody?? thanks
Todd Miller
Isaiah Industries, Inc.
|I have answered the underlayment question to the best of my ability in response to your other post. If your wood shakes are on spaced sheating which I assume they are, then you have a very breathable roof system. Your metal roof can have good ventilation as well as a reflective pigment coating and those things will help but you still could end up with a warmer summertime attic than you have had in the past. Also, with your shakes, your attic has been cool in the winter. However, if you have good ventilation, it will be cool with a metal roof too. The important thing for winter efficiency is to have good insulation on top of the ceilings.

At Urban Farm U we provide the inspiration, knowledge, and tools that promote and encourage healthy lives and environments so you can pursue your goals and dreams of a healthier life with a community of people who care.

We especially like all the information to be found on their blog and via their podcast! If you're not a farmer already and would like to get started growing food in your own urban space, or if you're a gardener who wants to discover more about permaculture theories and techniques, give them a look.
After Greg heard about Farm Stay U.S. from Ruth and Grace, our founder and Executive Director, Scottie Jones, also had a chance to be a guest on the podcast. You can listen to both episodes below.
Want a fun and rustic getaway that's like visiting grandma on her farm? Check out Willow Creek Ranch Farm Stay in Mountain Ranch, California!
Located halfway between Modesto and Sacramento near the Stanislaus National Forest, Willow Creek Ranch offers a nostalgic trip back in time to grandma's working farm. Guests can get their hands dirty and pitch in with various chores, like gathering eggs, working in the garden, or pitching hay to cows, or they can opt to just sit back and relax with a book, or go for a swim in the small above-ground pool.
Hosts Cathie and John Orr truly love to share their lifestyle with guests and teach a few things along the way. The farm raises milk cows, so when there's fresh milk available, there are also opportunities to milk a cow and feed a calf, make butter, and learn how to make your own mozzarella cheese. When there's produce in the garden, you can learn how to preserve food either by canning or freezing. Every seaon brings unique activities!
The two bedroom cabin accommodates up to eight guests, and John and Cathie also allow camping on their property if you want to bring your own tent. The cabin also features a kitchenette with the necessary dishes and kitchen utensils, so you can choose to cook on your own, or add breakfast and/or dinner to your farm stay experience and enjoy Cathie's home cooking.The farm has also recently added a 20x20 foot tent to accommodate large parties!

This is a start, but by no means the only farm stays on Instagram. We'll definitely have another post coming up soon, with even more accounts to follow! Meanwhile, make sure you also follow Farm Stay U.S. on Instagram! We mostly re-gram from our farm stay members, so it's a great way to find new places to add to your must-visit lists.
My husband and I bought our Oregon farm 14 years ago. We were Phoenix urbanites looking for water and a change of pace. That's about as far as we delved into what exactly being a farmer entailed. Our farm came with a mixture of smaller livestock, some rusty equipment, a century-old apple orchard, and a peacock. It seemed like an idyllic life choice with beautiful scenery and the requisite historic barn. We thought, "How hard could farming be?"
In hindsight, a business plan might have squelched that naiveté, but idealizing farming isn't new nor are we the only ones to have gone down that path, even marketing the myth (Does Pepperidge Farm really exist?) Regardless, this is actually a great reason to visit a farm. After all, this is where the food in your fridge starts out - be it livestock or produce, even something simple like eggs (Fair warning: egg-laying chickens are well known as a "gateway livestock"!) Farming is physically demanding; it requires skill and education, and even a bit of luck. It's a risky business. It's also a 7-day-a-week job that some will joke is a lifestyle, not a living. But it also brings clarity to pricing at your local farmers' market. Exactly how much time and labor does it take on the part of the farmer to get those eggs to your fridge?
Most small farms ($100K or less in sales) require off-farm jobs to support the family. We were no different. Which leads me to the creative thinking required to make a living on a farm, also known as 'value-added' (thanks USDA). That would be the jam, goat cheese, wool, or soap you'll find on Etsy, at the farmers' market, or at the roadside farm stand. For us, it was the addition of a 'farm stay' to our operations. Farm stays – overnight lodging provided on the farm for a fee – are as varied as the farms offering them. You might find yourself in a tent on the back-40, a cabin, a yurt, even a room in the farm house; and, often your stay includes a farm-fresh breakfast and a rooster alarm clock.
Yup, we farmers are looking at diversification strategies (wow, we sounds like hedge fund managers) that include the hospitality business and inviting strangers to experience our lifestyle. It helps pay for tractor maintenance, but it also allows us to share our vistas as well as our challenges with urbanites and travelers, often disconnected from the natural world in ways that would have our grandparents shaking their collective heads. We know. We were those urbanites - until we weren't.
And, it's not dirty and boring the way you might think. Okay, well the lodging isn't dirty, although helping around the farm might involve some dirt. Boring never factors in because… farms aren't boring. Maybe you'll help collect eggs, brush the donkey, even hold a baby lamb. Maybe you'll sit on the farm house porch and read a good book, drink the local brew, unwind and unplug. You'll be our guest for a weekend or a week and you never had to buy the farm!
This is why you would want to stay on a farm. It's a bridge to the country. It's a boon to the farm (it saved ours). It's fun and unexpected, and your friends will think you are crazy, until you return home with tales of feeding a baby goat, and then they will want to go too. You'll be protecting small-farm America that at one point built this country. You're a patriot! Okay, bit of a stretch, but at least you have found a unique, relaxing vacation spot… and are now contemplating chickens for the back yard!
Easter is coming up this weekend, and that brings up the annual issue of cute baby animals given as gifts for the occasion. Baby bunnies (known as kits), chicks, ducklings, and other cute creatures require a big commitment. They need special diets and housing and... well... these types of animals tend to poop wherever they feel like it. Ask anyone who lets chickens free-range in their back yards! Just no decorum, I tell ya.Instead of risking the need to re-home these animals when they grow out of the cuddly baby stage and turn into a long-term responsibility, we highly recommend visiting animals on a farm instead. (Of course!) Create memories that will last a lifetime... not a lifetime of chores.

This is not your ordinary campground. Located on a certified organic farm in the rolling hills of northern Illinois, Kinnikinnick Farm's Feather Down farm tents (part of the Feather Down Farms franchise) offer guests a charming and authentic farm stay experience.
From spring through fall, guests can stay in the spacious wood-floored tents and enjoy beds made with European style linens; wood stoves, along with kindling and wood to cook and keep warm; and fresh, local foods. With no electricity inside the tents, evening light is provided via oil lamps and candles. Hot showers and flush toilets are located in a nearby bathhouse.
The farm was originally founded in 1849, and has been in continuous production since. David and Susan Cleverdon purchased the farm in 1987 and began their organic garden in 1993. Now, they sell their certified organic produce directly to farmers market customers and Chicago-area chefs, as well as partnering with a program that helps feed Chicago's homeless.
Food and Chores
Guests are welcome to help out with some of the farm chores, like collecting eggs, feeding animals, and harvesting crops, or they may choose to simply explore the countryside and relax.
At Kinnikinnick Farm, guests can purchase meal components like meats, eggs, and produce, then grill outside or cook over their woodstove. The farm also offers "arrival meals" for the first night, and during particular times of year, the outdoor wood-fired oven is available for build-your-own pizza nights.
For folks who want to carry on the fresh, seasonal cooking back home, the farm has a recipe page on their website.

If you visit a farm that raises livestock, you may encounter livestock guardian dogs (LGDs). LGDs aren't your usual pet dogs, which people don't always realize. We've heard stories of well-meaning neighbors accusing farmers of mistreating these working animals, or worse, threatening to remove the dogs!
We asked one of our Farm Stay U.S. members, Ruth Pepler of Dogwood Hills Farm in Arkansas, about her experience with LGDs.
Some of the things I have discovered about these amazing dogs over the years I have learned the hard way. Our very first Pyrenees, Maya, was given to us because she would not stay way out in the pasture with the goats. She kept coming to the farm house. Our set up was much more to her liking with our farm house in the middle of the hub of pastures. She was an excellent guardian and could be completely trusted with moms delivering, chickens and baby chicks, and our guests. She knew that the guests belonged there and watched over them as well! They say it's not good to let them socialize with people or they won't do their job. We have not found this to be a problem. When visiting a farm with livestock guardian dogs, it's always good to know the ground rules. These dogs have a very specific job to do, and you would not want to distract them. The rules at Dogwood Farm, for example, are:
LGDs may work alone, if the farm is somewhat small, or there may be several dogs working together.
At first, I didn't know that it's hard for them to be the only LGD if the predators are thick. Our dogs run 72 acres, not a large farm, but surrounded by numerous coyote, big cats, an occasional wolf, and bear. We now have a team of 3 adults and 3 puppies. They work very well rotating and training the younger ones.
One of the things I have noticed as the younger ones step up into a more active role, is that they will dig out a hole or several holes in prime locations for watching their charges. If I can't find a dog, the first thing I do is look out where the goats are, then check the opposite hillside and there, dug into the side of the hill, is a watchful dog.
Winter is a whole other topic. The barn is open on either end. The dogs have access to hay, heated water, and cozy goats to snuggle up with. Where do they sleep? Smack in the middle of the driveway, out in the snow, with a paw over their nose! We've discovered that ice blocks make great toys! They carry them all over the place.
Thanks very much to Ruth for sharing some great photos and talking with us about these special "farm hands"! Do you have questions about livestock guardian dogs? Leave it in the comments.

Netherfield Natural Farm, located in Fontana, Kansas, offers two types of stays in their restored 1882 Victorian farmhouse. You can opt for a traditional B&B style stay (which includes breakfast, of course), or a farm stay with all family style meals included while you're on the farm.
Up on a hill, with great views and plenty of privacy from neighbors, this rural farm has 14 acres, a fishing pond, two story barn (check out their BAR/N - a saloon inside their working barn!), fire pits, picnic areas, and walking trails.
Innkeepers Scott and Matt have honored the history of the original homesteaders by naming the farm's four guest bedrooms after the Vance family. The accommodations are cozy and inviting, giving travelers plenty of private space while the shared living room and dining room spaces offer opportunities for visiting. The bedrooms have either queen or full-size beds; two with private baths and two sharing a bath.
Other amenities include a full kitchen, laundry faciliites, library, internet with free wifi, fire pit, bbq, and a pond. During the summer months, enjoy the new swimming pool!
At Netherfield Natural Farm, guests can enjoy interacting with cows, free-ranging chickens, a turkey, a livestock guardian dog (LGD) and a "house dog", and barn cats. When there are animals that need to be bottle-fed, guests are welcome to pitch in and lend a hand.
Same goes for other chores around the farm, including the garden, where you can potentially help with planting or harvesting, depending on what's needed during your stay.
The farm's stated goal is to be, as much as possible, a self-sustaining place for vacationers who are looking for a temporary rural agrarian experience.
Children under 12 are welcome at Netherfield, as well as parties, family reunions, corporate retreats, and weddings or elopements. If you want to bring pets or your own horses to ride, they can accommodate you! Check out their listing here on Farm Stay U.S., and start planning your Kansas getaway!

Watch incredible CCTV footage of award-winning Grantham police officers as they tackle robbers armed with shotgun and hammers
Two police officers, based in Grantham, have won bravery awards after tackling robbers, one armed with a pump-action shotgun.
Sergeants David Wilson and Iain McIvor have been named as Region 4 (Eastern) winners at the 22nd National Police Bravery Awards.
The awards, sponsored by Police Mutual, honour and recognise police officers who perform outstanding acts of bravery.
The harrowing events of that night of January 6 last year were partly caught on CCTV which shows the officers confronting the robbers as they try to make their getaway.
The two officers were off duty in Newark and celebrating Sgt McIvor's promotion, but as they left a pub they heard noise coming from a nearby jeweller's.
They approached the shop and realised there was an armed robbery in progress. They entered the shop and identified themselves as police officers and as they did so one offender, carrying a pump-action shotgun, came out of the premises towards them pointing the firearm directly at them.
He pumped the barrel, yelling "Get back or I'll shoot". He was then swiftly followed out of the shop by others armed with lump hammers.
The officers backed away but still persisted in dealing with the incident, and Sgt McIvor wrestled with the gunman as he attempted to get into a getaway car. As he held on he ended up being dragged down the street by the vehicle as it sped off, before he fell to the ground from the car a short distance away.
After ensuring they were both okay, that the store was secured and the staff in the jeweller's were safe, the two officers called 999 and waited for the Nottinghamshire Police to take over the scene, looking after the traumatised shop staff until they arrived.
Although confronted with armed men, the officers were able to retain enough information to help lead to the arrest of the offenders. Charges included conspiracy to commit robbery, possession of an imitation firearm with intent and conspiracy to handle stolen goods.
Eleven offenders pleaded guilty at court, and a 12th was found guilty at trial. After receiving their award from Sara Thornton, the head of the National Police Chiefs' Council, Sgt Wilson said: "I feel so privileged to have won the award and proud of what happened on the night. You feel humbled to listen to the other stories from around the country, so we're so very proud to win ourselves."
Sgt McIlvor said: "As harrowing as it is to watch it back, I would do it again – it's what the police do. It's been fantastic to be here at the Police Bravery Awards."
Jon Hassall, Chair of Lincolnshire Police Federation said: "These two officers, who were off-duty, and had zero protective equipment made the heroic decision to act in the face of incredible danger. This is an incredible example of bravery in the finest traditions of the British Police Service. I am so proud of their actions and am thrilled that they have won this award."
Stephen Mann, CEO of Police Mutual, said: "Every nominee at this year's awards has shown outstanding courage and thoroughly deserves to be recognised. Your continued bravery helps ensure that millions of people in our country are kept safe, which is perhaps more important than ever given recent events across the world. This is why we proudly continue to support this event."
