You know how we have a podcast? This is the soundtrack.
We can barely describe how excited we are about this album, but here goes! Ear Snacks: Songs from the Podcast (officially releasing on September 30, 2016) is a direct result of the first season of our radical podcast - over seven hours of free content for children and their families. We spent the last year interviewing more than 60 kids and 35 adult experts, crafting original scores and a storm of genre-busting songs. Ear Snacks: Songs from the Podcast features fourteen tunes hand-picked from the radical podcast experiment, re-contextualized into an eclectic, insightful and (we hope) absurdly fun record.
Inside every CD is a 20-page SNACKTIVITY booklet that includes fun ideas for active imaginations. You can pre-order the CD and digital album (including a PDF of the SNACKTIVITY fun) exclusively from our shop. Pre-orders from our store will shop on - OR BEFORE! - September 30. Fans can also pre-order the music on iTunes (no snacktivities, though... just saying!) and receive an immediate download for "Dancing Pants," our summer single featuring Mista Cookie Jar.
Click here for the full press release.
For more information about Andrew & Polly, to request a review copy of Ear Snacks: Songs from the Podcast, or to schedule an interview, please contact Elizabeth Waldman Frazier at Waldmania PR: 415-334-2787 or email@example.com.

@War: The Rise of the Military-Internet Complex by Shane Harris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
My Rating 4/5
This was a very interesting read. With the world embroiled in the drama of a new presidency and the recent election with accusations of Russian hackers influencing the election, this looked like a good topic to "read up" on. I plopped 3 books into my shopping cart (@War, CyberSpies, and Dark Territory) all of which were well reviewed and started with @War.
I'm going to keep this review pretty general: it was engaging and well written in an entertaining style. It primarily covers the U.S. military use of surveillance and hacking techniques starting with 9/11 and the war in Iraq. It follows a rough timeline from the Bush administration through the Obama administration and details several prominent military and political figures involved in policy and implementation of techniques. There is ample discussion of corporate security and involvement with the government and how this plays into the overall threat situation of which the average citizen mostly oblivious.
While I found this book to be quite interesting, and there are discussions of several individuals in the book (including Snowden and his effect on policy), the focus is very squarely on the use of our cyber forces in the recent past as well as the ongoing incursions and threats coming primarily from China and Russia. There is little detail regarding operations in the last 10 years, for understandable reasons, as this is a topic that is being held tightly under wraps for the most part by the government.
I have a very libertarian political view and I felt the author did a good job of keeping the political tone of the book extremely neutral, which is a rarity these days, especially considering he was pretty in depth with political appointees in both the Bush and Obama administrations. Kudos for that!
The book mostly whet my appetite for more information. It was a little surprising to read all that has been going on (essentially a cyber war between the U.S. and China and all major U.S. & multi-national corporations). Of course the only way this hits the news is when the media's candidate gets hacked, revealing many unscrupulous deeds. Why they haven't picked up on the depth and breadth of hacking and started calling more attention to this in general isn't all that hard to figure out, but it's still disappointing.
Take home: However safe and secure you feel like your online presence is, you're most likely much less secure than you think. Also, you can be certain that the U.S. government is recording essentially everything we all do online. Yes, everything. This makes me want to look a lot harder at encryption strategies for my home network and personal computing systems. You'll definitely want to pick this up if the topic intrigues you. But avoid it if you're already overwhelmed with all the "threats" that are out there and would remain in a blissful state of ignorance. Either way, take your passwords and PC security more seriously!

These include flagship reports on a particular area of activity, research reports summarising the findings of a research project and policy briefs presenting policy pointers from research projects or facts and figures relevant to policy debates. Also included are blog articles, regular articles on working life in Europe, presentations, working papers providing background material to ongoing or already concluded research, and reports arising from ad hoc requests by policymakers.

Web databases and online resources such as data visualisation applications are available in Data and resources.
Greece: Hopes dashed on plans for collective bargainingNegotiations to restore the national minimum wage to its pre-2012 level were welcomed by the Greek social partners in May 2015. However, the process was stopped after Greece signed a new loan agreement with its creditors (IMF, EU, ECB, and ESM). Under this, any changes must be agreed by the institutions and there can be no return to earlier legislation.
Ireland: New law welcomed on collective bargainingA law giving employees the right to bargain collectively has been passed in Ireland after a great deal of debate. Until now, under the constitution, a worker's right to join a union has effectively been cancelled out by an employer's right not to recognise a union for bargaining purposes. However, the social partners support the new regulation.
Spain: Good practice guide to reducing the gender wage gapA good practice guide for eliminating wage gaps between men and women was recently launched by the Confederation of Small and Medium Enterprises CEPYME). The report outlines the business benefits that equal pay can bring to a company.
Sweden: Higher risk of work-related injuries for womenGender segregation in the Swedish labour market is partly to blame for women facing a higher risk of incurring repetitive strain injuries, according to the Swedish Work Environment Authority. The agency, commissioned by the government to develop ways of helping women avoid such problems, also found that employers often lack the knowledge required to prevent such injuries.
Ireland: New public sector agreement passedThe Lansdowne Road Agreement was approved by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions in September 2015. The deal extends the provisions of the previous Haddington Road Agreement, but introduces phased pay restoration between 2016 and 2018 of around €2,000 for most public sector workers in a flat rate approach designed to benefit lower-paid workers.
Czech Republic: Short-time work introduced in Employment ActThe Czech President has approved an amendment to the Employment Act to include short-time work. Following on from Senate approval in July 2015, in August the President of the Czech Republic approved an amendment to the Empl...
Czech Republic: Gender inequalities in incomeA study on earnings and pensions finds that the gender pay gap remains high in the Czech Republic, resulting also in lower pensions for women.
France: Occupational personal accounts planned for 2017In the framework of its labour market reform, the government is proposing new legislation aimed at creating an individual occupational account for each employee, offering entitlement to a range of social benefits throughout their career. Details were discussed at a high-level conference of the social partners in October.
Austria: Many Austrians are working long hoursRecent findings from the Working Climate Index show the average working week remains at 42 hours and that working overtime is prevalent.
United Kingdom: Report identifies key levers for improving workplace productivityAmid the extensive debate about the UK's relatively poor productivity record, a recent report from Acas identifies seven key factors for improving workplace productivity: well-designed work; skilled managers; effective conflict management; clarity about rights and responsibilities; fairness; employee voice; and high trust. The report includes contributions from leading practitioner and policymaking bodies, including employer and trade union organisations.

'Cause your music is so marginal, like, 'Hey you don't like this song? What about now -- blood's coming out of my mouth?' 'Yeah, we do like it now.'

Unified Ground: Union Square National Mall Competition
Unified Ground: Union Square National Mall Competition
This winning design for Union Square, situated at the base of the Capitol in Washington, DC, engages visitors with an impressive monumental scale while providing comfortable places for a range of experiences and voices.
A grand central space is defined by a reflecting pool and the historic Grant Memorial. Consisting of a 2 inch sheet of water over a paved surface, the pool can be quickly drained to create a range of differently sized assembly spaces. Paved paths running diagonally at the surface of the pool encourage pedestrians to traverse this large water feature and allow people to inhabit the water's surface, enlivening and humanizing this formal space.
The central space is flanked by a series of outdoor rooms of distinct character. Subtle changes in grade are used to form terraces and low retaining walls that provide seating surfaces and views into these rooms. Planting further defines the spaces within, utilizing existing mature trees on the site. Materials are selected to reinforce the different identities of the constituent spaces, as well as to create durable surfaces that can be efficiently maintained through the life cycle of the project.

Freida Pinto has denied that she is chosen for Hollywood films because she is "exotic".
The actress can currently be seen in Rise of the Planet of the Apes opposite Andy Serkis and James Franco.
Pinto told DNA: "Except the Woody Allen film [You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger], which was about people with diverse ethnic backgrounds, other directors don't take me on because they feel there's an exotic value attached to me being Indian, but because I fit the role.
"I want to balance out the big budget Hollywood blockbusters with some smart independent films. I just wanted to become an actor."
She added: "As an actor, you don't have to limit yourself to a particular culture or ethnicity. I want to spread my tentacles everywhere and am ready for a film offer from any part of the world."
Pinto has previously been accused of shunning Indian films in favour of Hollywood projects, though the paper claims that she has signed on to an undisclosed Bollywood movie.
The Slumdog Millionaire star recently admitted that she was initially starstruck in Hollywood.

By Amitha Rajan
September is the busiest month for India's foreign office. By the end of the month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will have visited Japan and the United States and hosted Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Chinese President Xi Jinping. In this list of big-ticket names, Mr Xi's visit, scheduled for the 17th of this month, is the one diplomatic visit that is likely to be most closely watched.
For decades, harsh political realities have clouded Sino-Indian relations. China and India are nuclear-armed neighbours with a contested border running more than 3,000 kilometres. They went to war in 1962 over their border dispute. The countries have competing claims over Indian-administered Arunachal Pradesh – known as South Tibet in China – and military build-up continues on both sides. China's tacit support for Pakistan has long been a cause for concern in India, while New Delhi's sheltering of the Dalai Lama continues to irk Beijing. But with a new leadership at the helm in both countries, there is room for this relationship to improve. Continue reading

The Detroit independent music scene is prime for eruption, and one of the bands fueling this new resurgence of rock is Bedford Drive! Hailing from Southgate, Michigan, members Scott Anger, Ed Sertage, Michelle Bojanowski, and Ryan Looney make up this fearsome foursome. Serving the Detroit area and beyond since 1998, Bedford Drive has become a staple in the Downriver scene, and their name has been recognized across the nation. Winning the opening spot at the Detroit date of the first SuicideGirls' Burlesque Tour, Bedford Drive turned heads and dropped jaws with their full-throttle rock/pop hooks, groovable beats and Anger's dead-on vocals. Citing influences ranging from Weezer, Sloan, Foo Fighters, and Sunny Day Real Estate, to new rock such as Jimmy Eat World and Deathcab for Cutie, as well as classic rock essentials, like Zeppelin, AC/DC and 80's Metallica, it's easy to see where Bedford Drive got its desire to play driving, melodic, guitar-powered rock.
After a few years of self-released material, BD released its first full-length, 'The Last Time I Saw the Stars,' on local independent label Vertical Verve Records. '… Stars' received heavy airplay on Detroit area college radio and was also well-received on the West Coast. The powerful, dynamic, and emotionally-charged songs present on their first professional CD commanded the attention of anyone who listened. For two years, the band kept day-jobs while performing more than two hundred shows at 40+ venues all over Michigan and as far west as Chicago, opening for national acts including The Stereo, Rescue, Brandtson, The Ghost, Christiansen, and Motion City Soundtrack. Bedford Drive began writing and recording again in early 2003, just before the departure of original drummer, Jay Croft.
Since the addition of Looney in July 2003, the band's sound has gelled into a fusion of pop-laden fury. Their combined years of experience have matured the band, and their live show is more energetic and tighter than ever. New songs showcase the versatility and strengths of all four musicians, incorporating smarter drumming, layered guitars and vocals, and keeping the elements for which the band has become known: heartfelt lyrics, strong rhythms, and clever composition. In April 2004 Bedford Drive released its second professional recording, a six-song self-titled ep, and began supporting the record with a series of DIY mini-tours. These self-propelled, suburban 20-somethings continue to surprise and delight long-time fans and naysayers alike. One listen will prove that these geeks with a grudge are on point – Bedford Drive is ready to rock the masses.

To the Editor:
"Patients' Costs Skyrocket; Specialists' Incomes Soar" ("Paying Till It Hurts" series, front page, Jan. 19) is a disappointing representation of skin cancer surgery patients, the overwhelming majority of whom are satisfied with their outcomes, treatment options, care, and physician expertise and communication.
Diagnosis of cancer is a frightening experience. Patients are understandably worried about what will happen, the risk of recurrence, scarring, loss of function and disfigurement. When delivering care, dermatologic surgeons take into account the best interest of the patient, their needs and desires and carefully explain effective treatment options and offer comfort and reassurance while providing expert care.
While dermatologic surgeons perform skin cancer removal and reconstruction procedures more often than other specialists, sometimes a multi-physician approach is recommended because of patient needs or expectation. With research and clinical breakthroughs, we are able to offer many treatment options in an office setting to achieve the highest cure rates efficiently.
One in five Americans develops skin cancer over a lifetime. It is important to encourage patients to seek appropriate treatment.
San Diego, Jan. 21, 2014
The writer is president of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, based in Rolling Meadows, Ill.

Believe it or not, at least on the calendar, Spring is just around the corner. So too is one more visit to Orcas Island by the Skagit Habitat for Humanity Store truck. The truck and volunteer drivers will be at Island Market parking lot again (thanks for your support) on Monday the 6th of March from 9:30 AM to noon. Please look at the list of things they will be allowed to accept by going to the Store's website before you load things into your vehicle. Use "acceptible-and-not-acceptible-items-for-donation" to find this list.
"We really appreciate the growing cooperation that has developed between the Skagit Habitat Store and Orcas Recycling Services over the past three years," said Pete Moe, Executive Director of ORS. "While we've been without the Exchange, Skagit Habitat has provided islanders with an opportunity to donate good things that can be reused by others. With a new Exchange just over the horizon, we'll see less of the Habitat truck, but anticipate continuing our relationship with them as the situation offers."
"If you have questions about the Skagit Habitat truck, the schedule, or what might be donated, please call Duff at 376-3032. He is our local point of contact for Skagit Habitat for Humanity, as well as the volunteer coordinator for the Exchange. You can also reach him at email@example.com."

The official Ubuntu Forums have been brought back online, more than a week after a hack saw passwords for its 1.8 million users stolen.
In analysing the exact cause that allowed the attacker to wreak havoc, Canonical's James Troup cites a 'combination' of configuration settings in the vBulletin software used to power the forums and a compromised moderator account.
By happenstance of these two things the attacker was able to gain 'full access to the vBulletin environment as an administrator and shell access as the 'www-data' user on the Forums app servers.'
This, Troup says, allowed the perpetrator to meddle with the forum – at one point adding background music – and download all 1.82 million user names, e-mail addresses & encrypted passwords.
Upon learning of the attack Canonical immediately recommended that anyone using a similar or identical passwords to their compromised Ubuntu Forum one to change it. This advice was backed up by an e-mail shot sent later in the week.
With the post-mortem over Canonical turned their attention to 'hardening' the Ubuntu forums to prevent attacks of a similar nature happening in the future. In addition to resetting and rebuilding the forum, its settings and the servers it runs on, all user passwords have been reset and randomised.
Furthermore the Forums now use Ubuntu Single Sign On for improved authentication.
This means you won't be able to log in to the forum using your old password.

Ohio 4, Saint Louis 1
Friday, Aug. 31, 2018
Athens, Ohio | Pruitt Field
Saint Louis freshman Emily Wastell scored her third goal of the season, but the Billikens fell to Ohio 4-1 Friday afternoon in nonconference field hockey action in Athens, Ohio.
The Billikens slip to 2-2 with the loss, while Ohio improves to 1-2.
The Bobcats scored twice in the first 10 minutes to take control. They lead 2-0 at halftime. Ohio then registered an early goal in the second half to go on top 3-0.
Wastell, who scored twice in the Billikens' win against Colgate, continued her strong play when she tallied in the 58th minute to make it 3-1.
However, that is as close as SLU would get, as Ohio scored two minutes later to post the 4-1 win.
Ohio had a 12-10 edge in shots, but SLU mustered a 6-3 advantage in penalty corners.
The Billikens return to action on Sunday when they travel to Kent State for an 11 a.m. (CT) matchup.
OHIO | 5:54 – Karynne Baker (Annmarie Hoppel)

I used Bright Nickel cerakote to replace the original nickel plate and blued the pins trigger etc. The gun is also timed and will shoot, though I don't recommend it.

Lights Out for NSA? Maryland Lawmakers Push to Cut Water, Electricity to Spy Agency Headquarters
NSA nerve center in Fort Meade targeted by bill.
By Steven Nelson
Feb. 10, 2014
The National Security Agency's headquarters in Ft. Meade, Md., will go dark if a cohort of Maryland lawmakers has its way.
Eight Republicans in the 141-member Maryland House of Delegates introduced legislation Thursday that would deny the electronic spy agency "material support, participation or assistance in any form" from the state, its political subdivisions or companies with state contracts.
The bill would deprive NSA facilities water and electricity carried over public utilities, ban the use of NSA-derived evidence in state courts and prevent state universities from partnering with the NSA on research.

There's a good saying 'there's no such thing as bad weather just wrong clothing'. A good or bad cycle can be solely determined not by the size of hill or how much singletrack there is but by wearing the right or wrong clothing.
There are lots of different types of clothing and shoes available for all different types of weather. Finding the right clothing combinations are very personal and will take a certain amount of time and experimentation. Try to avoid wearing cotton especially next to your skin, it doesn't breathe very well and will get very sweaty or won't dry quickly if it rains. Try different man made materials or merino wool base layers to find what works for you. Remember to take a warm layer and waterproof. Try bike shops, outdoor stores or online retailers.
It can be expensive trying different clothing options so why not ask the experts or friends/family for their recommendations.

An agency can help the birth parents or adoptive parents find one another, and typically, the agency provides adoption services such as counseling and financial support to the birth parents. The birth parents may even be involved when choosing the adoptive parents by reviewing "resumes" of interested parents.
In a private agency adoption, a birth parent relinquishes his or her parental rights to the adoption agency by signing a consent in favor of the agency. After the adoptive parents have been identified and after the child is born, each birth parent gives consent to guardianship of the child in favor of the agency. This consent, which in Kansas is irrevocable after signing, gives the agency the right to place the child for adoption. The agency then places the child for adoption with adoptive parents selected by either the birth parent or the agency.
As with most other types of adoption, a home study is required as part of the adoption process. The agency working with the families will provide the home study services. Meanwhile, the adoption agency files a petition in the appropriate circuit court to obtain legal guardianship of the child and the child will be placed with the prospective adopting parents if the parents are willing to assume the risk of placement before the birth parents parental rights are terminated. Otherwise, the baby will be placed in a foster home until the parental rights are terminated. The child will then be placed with the adopting couple.

Charge for the privilege
I've read several versions of the suggestions that we Californians reduce or stop the use of drive-through lanes at fast-food or quick-service establishments (coffee and related beverages).
I propose taking that one step further: If the people of California don't want to get out of their car seats to go into a restaurant or coffee shop, then perhaps they won't mind paying a state-imposed surcharge of 15 cents to 25 cents for the convenience (excluding disabled persons).
This way, all the owners of these tens of thousands idling cars will help California financially while their cars continue to contribute to our already polluted air.

Question: Would California be better off economically as an independent state?
Bob's Answer: NO
Food prices would skyrocket as shipping would be considered international and the U.S. government would likely impose tariffs. Tourism would suffer as individuals without passports — about 50 percent of U.S. citizens do not have passports — or those angry with California would not visit. The impact on the U.S. is also dire as California has a huge economy. The bottom line is that this is an absurd idea for both the U.S. and California.

text: Tenth Mountain Division revives the soul, spirit and eclectic intersection of influences that birthed rock'n'roll, afresh for the modern ear. Just a fancy way of saying that we're bringing back classic rock, because that's what we love! Originating from Boulder, CO, founders Winston Heuga (Mandolin) and MJ Ouimette (Electric/Acoustic Guitar) originally sought to create an acoustic bluegrass outfit. After a few years dedicated to playing bluegrass, the duo transitioned to an electrified, rock'n'roll sound. Here they found their stride when Ouimette and Heuga collaborated with bassist Connor Dunn, drummer Tyler Gwynn and the ever-talented keyboard player Campbell Thomas. Together the quintet creates a diverse soundscape that combines soaring electric guitar leads and melodic keyboards while retaining its roots in bluegrass with Heuga's incomparable mandolin style. The rhythmic interplay of Dunn's driving bass fused with Gwynn's incendiary drumming round out the unique sounding band that is truly a style of its own; what the band refers to as a "ski band". Tenth Mountain Division has evolved greatly since its inception but retains its roots in the American musical styles of rock, jazz, jam, bluegrass and the crossroads between them all. The band has performed throughout Colorado from Boulder's Fox Theatre to Pardee Palooza Festival at State Bridge Amphitheatre. TMD's performance at the Fox Theater's installment of the Summer Camp: On The Road competition earned the band a slot at the 2016 Summer Camp Music Festival. Previously they've placed 2nd in CU's 2015 Battle of the Bands as well as winning fan favorite in that competition. Recently, the band has been recording their first album at KMGLife Studios in Boulder and expects to have their first album 'Cracks In The Sky' available by March of 2016.

Graveyard Rabbit Carnival - Occupations and Hobbies
Here's a favourite of mine from Fraser Cemetery in New Westminster, BC, Canada - a loving remembrance.
Photograph taken by M. Diane Rogers, June 2010. [Fraser Cemetery, New Westminster, BC, Canada. Marker for Booth, Kathleen, Section: IOOF 6-7, Row: 5, Stone: 5.]
Take a look at what's on the one side of the marker though. Whether Kathleen Booth sewed for love or from necessity, we know she was likely never idle.

Graveyard Rabbits - Scavenger Hunt - Fraser Cemetery - New Westminster BC Canada
The topic for the July 2010 edition of the Graveyard Rabbits Carnival is:
Scavenger Hunt!
For this Carnival, I chose to visit one of the graveyards nearest my home, Fraser Cemetery in New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada. This cemetery, operated by the city since the 1930s, was in use from about 1869 and, if you're someone who lives in the Lower Mainland here, you will recognize many of the historic family names represented in its burials. Originally there were separate areas, for instance, the Masonic, Oddfellows, Church of England and Veterans' sections. (The separate St. Peter's Roman Catholic Cemetery is right next door.)
I took off for a few hours there and just had a wander by myself - choosing some examples that appealed to me that day, taking photographs and making notes as I went. Although it wasn't the nicest day weatherwise, this cemetery has an amazing view, and it's nice just to enjoy that and the 'atmosphere'. An angry crow did try to keep me away from its territory, 'dive bombing' me until I moved on, but, as you will see, another cemetery habitué was much more friendly. This is a cemetery where people visit graves regularly, and locals walk their dogs, and even their kids, and where the cemetery is small enough that one can see a lot in any visit.
The following photographs illustrate my finds from the Scavenging List we were given: Cross, Heart, Fraternal symbol, Monument, Flower. Hand, Angel, Bird, Tree, Star, Obelisk, Four-legged animal, Photo, Military gravestone, Mausoleum. As you will see, I have taken some liberties with my identifications.
Fraternal - Knights of Pythias - symbol 'FCB' for Friendship, Charity and Benevolence - SANDERS marker (1961), Fraser Cemetery, New Westminster, Canada. Photograph, M. Diane Rogers, June 2010.
Monument - This is a very large stone - as tall as I am. Beth Wood was the first woman elected to New Westminster City Council (1949) and the city's first woman Mayor. Fraser Cemetery, New Westminster, BC, Canada. Photograph by M. Diane Rogers, June 2010.
Flower - Malvina NORMAN's grave (1931), Fraser Cemetery, New Westminster, BC, Canada. Photograph by M. Diane Rogers, June 2010.
Hands - Elsabe RISKE marker (1902, with husband L.W. on other side). Fraser Cemetery, New Westminster, BC, Canada. Photograph by M. Diane Rogers, June 2010.
Angel - a beautiful marble monument for Ella Jane KIRKLAND LYSTER (1875). Married in 1874, she had lived with her husband in Oregon, but suffered from consumption and returned to New Westminster to die. Fraser Cemetery, New Westminster, BC, Canada. Photograph by M. Diane Rogers, June 2010.
Bird - A guardian crow, Fraser Cemetery, New Westminster, BC, Canada. Photograph by M. Diane Rogers, June 2010.
Tree - I love this twig lettering on the zinc ARMSTRONG monument (1882, 1884), Fraser Cemetery, New Westminster, BC, Canada. Photographs, M. Diane Rogers, June 2010.
Obelisk - Memorial to Ebenezer BROWN (died 1883, New Westminster), by his daughter. Fraser Cemetery, New Westminster, BC, Canada. Photograph by M. Diane Rogers, June 2010.
Four legged animal - a black cat - very friendly - and obviously very comfortable visiting in the neighbourhood. Fraser Cemetery, New Westminster, BC, Canada. Photograph by M. Diane Rogers, June 2010.
Photo 1 - DE LOS REYES grave, (2007). A free standing easel has a photograph on the front, with a photo and commemorative text on the back. Fraser Cemetery, New Westminster, BC, Canada. Photograph by M. Diane Rogers, June 2010.
Photo 2 - John T. STEIGERVALD grave (1997), Fraser Cemetery, New Westminster, BC, Canada. Photograph by M. Diane Rogers, June 2010.
Military - HOSKIN marker, Fraser Cemetery, New Westminster, BC, Canada. Photograph by M. Diane Rogers, June 2010. There are a number of other HOSKIN military markers. Some may be related.
Lastly - Fraser Cemetery has no mausoleums, but does have this very modern new ossuarium (an in ground common 'vault' or receptacle for cremains), along with a new columbarium and wall space for memorial plaques. New Westminster, BC, Canada. Photograph by M. Diane Rogers, June 2010.
This post was written for the Graveyard Rabbits' Scavenger Hunt Blog Carnival.
Thanks to Julie Cahill Tarr, of Chicagoland Cemeteries, who came up with the idea for this Carnival for the Association of Graveyard Rabbits.

Interesting note: Mountain View Cemetery is currently the only Canadian cemetery recognized by the Green Burial Council which has set the first standards for green burial services and providers and has four levels of certification.
Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver BC is recognized in the 4th level as a 'Hybrid Burial Ground'. "Hybrid Burial Grounds are conventional cemeteries offering the option for burial without the need for a vault (partial, inverted or otherwise), a vault lid, concrete box, slab or partitioned liner. Hybrid Burial Grounds shall not require the embalming of decedents and must allow for any kind of eco-friendly burial containers including shrouds."
For more about green burial in British Columbia, see my previous post on a Mountain View event last fall: Artists and the Green Funeral Movement - Dec 9 2009 .
Gravestone of Mike JURKOVIC, aged 20 (indexed at Mountain View as JURKOVITCH; death certificate indexed as JURHOVITCH), born in Jugoslavija, died 6 February 1935, at Tranquille, BC. Mountain View Cemetery, Vancouver, BC, Canada (Section JONES/*/13/002/0011). Also in plot - Phyllis Irene YURKOVICH, buried in 1994 and Robert YURKOVICH, buried in 1992.

Doin' Things Right - Carnival of Genealogical Societies - First Edition
One place I feel most genealogical societies 'do right' is in organizing and enhancing the activities and energy of its members and volunteers to benefit the wider genealogical and historical communities. The work of the BC Genealogical Society (BCGS) cemetery committee is a good example of this.
The Society started in 1971 and, as with most groups, members came from a variety of backgrounds and had a number of different interests, but many of their long term goals were the same. One of the Society's initial objectives was to preserve British Columbia's genealogical records, including cemetery records and gravestone inscriptions. This was particularly important here as some older BC cemeteries are subject to extreme weathering or are in remote areas and not easily accessible. Information from these cemeteries needed to be preserved and made easily available to researchers. Preserving cemetery information is still one of the BCGS's objectives today - and many cemeteries here are active ones; surname and inscription listings need to be updated regularly.
Several members had done some cemetery recording before the Society started. Others who lived close to a smaller cemetery or who often travelled around British Columbia for business or pleasure began to do the same, but they recorded inscriptions on each gravestone in the cemeteries they came across. And very soon, society members ensured that these recordings would be available to others by organizing volunteers to type up inscriptions in a format that would make them easy to publish in the Society's journal or to index and publish for committee or library use.

In recent years, the Committee has updated most of its older cemetery recordings for active cemeteries. Again, this was often done by individual members for smaller cemeteries, or sometimes by volunteer groups in co-operation with the BCGS. But Committee members just finished two large projects, the re-recording and photographing of all the inscriptions of gravestones in St Peter's and Fraser cemeteries in New Westminster, BC. Research was also done in other sources for this project, including in burial records and newspapers.

Graveyard Critters - The Graveyard Rabbit Carnival
Graveyard Critters!
This theme was suggested by Diane Wright, who authors three cemetery blogs: The Kansas Rabbit, The Wright Graveyard Stew, and The Grave Yard Rabbit Travels Wright
We were invited to post our photographs of cemetery critters.
Now I have a number of photographs showing 'critters' carved or otherwise illustrating cemetery stones - from doves to lambs and deer. I even have several showing horses. But all too few of my photographs show live critters of any kind in a cemetery.
The most memorable critter I've seen in a cemetery was a hedgehog in the Bassingbourn Cemetery in Cambridgeshire, England, and, no, this wasn't Spike the Road Safety Hedgehog. This was a real live little hedgehog. Again, no photo - I was too busy staring and thinking "Hey, it's Mrs Tiggy-Winkle!"
Back at home, I'm a city girl, and a Pacific Northwest city girl at that, so I think the live critters I've seen the most in cemeteries would be seagulls or those very cheeky crows. But they seldom sit still close enough for me to try taking their photographs. Many people here like to walk their dogs in local cemeteries. This is often a controversial topic, and some cemeteries have restrictions, but it's certainly not uncommon to see dogs (on leashes).
Whenever I can I visit cemeteries in the rest of British Columbia, though, and we are always warned to watch for bears and sometimes snakes. On a summer trip to the Whonnock Cemetery in the Fraser Valley last year, we saw evidence of a bear - if you know what I mean - but, thank goodness, no bear.
Last year, at the Anglican Church's Nicola Cemetery (established in 1905, St. Michael's Anglican Church) which has lots of high grass and holes in the ground, I was so busy watching out in case of snakes that I almost stepped into a whole mess of ants just outside a grave enclosure. This time I did take a picture, but if you can see an ant in there I'll be surprised. I can't, but I swear! there were hundreds - all were busy trotting back and forth in that one area.
Many cemeteries have attractive landscape features which may include 'critters' too. Here is a photograph of the beautiful heron fountain just inside the entrance to Ocean View Burial Park in Burnaby, BC, near where I live. (Herons are my favourite birds.)
The Graveyard Critters edition of the Graveyard Rabbits Carnival will be posted soon by the Association of Graveyard Rabbits on the Association's blog. Be sure to read the full carnival.

I have joined in on the colour fun at The Play Date Cafe this week (#117) with this beautiful soft colour scheme.
I am going to a 21st birthday party soon, and there is a bit of a vintage theme happening, so I thought I'd make a card that kind of fits in with the theme.
I crocheted this rose and leaves to be the main feature of the card - but kept it fairly simple otherwise.
Thanks so much for visiting!
Products used:
Basic Grey Cappella 'pageantry' paper
Kaisercraft Timeless Collection 'newsprint' paper
DMC #20 crochet thread
Kaisercraft pearls
Distress Inks - antique linen, tattered rose, frayed burlap
Skipping Stones Design stamps (greeting)

About Phil Lepage | Calgary's Own
How has Phil Lepage became one of the most successful Realtors in Calgary? One client at a time.
To be successful, Phil has known all along that you must also actively do what you preach. Phil and his wife, Brigitte, had used Real Estate as a means to wealth-building since before Phil was even in Real Estate.
Phil and Brigitte built their first home in Springbank Hill, the first occupants in the new community of Springbank Hill in 1998. At the time, Phil was a Teacher, not even in Real Estate yet, but he and Brigitte knew the potential of the Westhills corridor and the West side of Calgary.
They had an option to build in the Southeast close to the Deerfoot but smartly chose to build their first home West of 69th Street, south of Bow Trail. The communities of Richmond Hill, Signal Hill, Christie Park, Strathcona, Coach Hill, and Patterson were already established, but now the communities West of 69th were being planned. They also preferred the 15-20 minute drive into Downtown, which is still the case almost 20 years later.
They continued to use Real Estate as an investment vehicle, purchasing numerous Real Estate properties for revenue generation. They bought a few rental properties (single family homes and townhouse-style condos), with a 20-year plan of paying off the mortgages. Thanks to tenants, and then in 20 years, they would have a significant passive income rolling in. What no one predicted, was the Real Estate boom between 2004 and 2007. This was a time when homes prices doubled, or even tripled if you had purchased early enough. Using leverage as every Real Estate investor can, Returns on Investment were sometimes more than tenfold.
As opportunities arose, Phil and Brigitte have renovated homes, and now Brigitte builds homes with an Architect partner under Capstone Custom Homes, creating lovely modern luxury homes for clients wanting a unique home they will not see replicated, tailored to their specific desires and needs.
After 18 Years and almost a Billion dollars in home sales value, Phil continues to assist clients in selling and purchasing homes, as this is his favorite part of the business.
Due to Phil's continuous commitment to the industry and his success, Phil 'entered' the Re/Max Hall of Fame Award Category, RE/MAX Lifetime Achievement Award and Top 1% of Realtors at the Calgary Real Estate Board, Continued Sales since 2001. Phil consistently sells over $50 Million in Gross Sales annually.

Members who already receive a benefit through financial assistance, At-Your-Best, Military, Third-Party etc. may still refer a member but will not receive the 20% rate unless the savings of 20/20 is greater. In that case the member will cancel their current benefit and switch to 20/20.

Nationwide Membership gives us another opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to these principles. We want our members to feel that, through Nationwide Membership, they're not going to different Y's but to their Ys-wherever they may be.
Nationwide Membership is available for active, full-facility, full privilege Y members whose home Y participates in Nationwide Membership (you can find a list of participating Ys at ymca.net). Nationwide members can visit any participating Y in the United States and Puerto Rico at no extra charge. If a Nationwide Member brings a guest who is not a Nationwide Member, the individual Y's guest policy will be used to allow entrance.
Participation in programs offered by participating Ys: Nationwide members are considered guests or program members when they visit participating Ys. They can register for programs and classes just as any other guest can, following the same procedures and fee schedules, and they can be charged fees for items like towels and lockers, if the visited Y charges its own members for these items.
Nationwide members may visit other participating Ys as often as they like, as long as they use their home Ys, on average, at least 50 percent of the time. If nationwide members have a family membership or some other inclusive membership arrangement and regularly use two Ys with the same frequency, they need to belong to the Y in the community where they live.
Nationwide members - snow birds, college students, and seasonal residents, for example - may live in a region away from their home Y for an extended period of time. If they intend to live away from their home Y for more than 28 days, they need to transfer their membership and pay membership dues to the participating Y they are visiting; this Y then becomes their home Y while they are in temporary residence.
Non-Participating YMCAs: are welcome to visit the Greater Bergen County YMCA for up to five free complimentary visits per month.

The command looks good. I have the same and it is working on my side. But to get the messaging.pem file, I used this command:

A night of Country, Folk, Blues, and Roots Americana!
The Old Nick Trading Company evolved five years ago from a weekly jam session in Nottingham, hosted by Tim Disney. Phil Jackson had often played mandolin with Tim in 'Bogus Bob', a Dylan tribute act, and moved over to acoustic guitar to help with the jam hosting. When a bassist was needed, Phil turned to Dave Sidebottom, fellow member of the alt. country set-up, 'El Gecko', and the trio gradually built up a set based around their mutual love of roots country, folk and blues. The repertoire grew with the addition of some of Tim and Phils' own material, and the weekly sessions polished the act to a point where popular demand required more than a 20 minute spot each side of the jam, and The Old Nick Trading Co became a gigging concern.
