It’s not too late to catch the flu
The Aspen Times
Aspen, CO, Colorado
ASPEN – The flu season is peaking later than usual this winter, according to Pitkin County health officials, but residents still have a shot at a flu vaccine as a preventative step.
Pitkin County Community Health Services will host its final flu-shot clinic of the season from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 14 at the Health and Human Services building at 0405 Castle Creek Road in Aspen.
“While we’re not seeing as many local hospitalizations because of the flu as we have seen in recent years, we are hearing about plenty of people who are just miserable with the flu,” said Liz Stark, director of Community Health Services, in a prepared statement.
The flu is very different from the common cold and can put someone out of commission for a week or two, she said.
The county has an ample supply of flu vaccine and FluMist available, Stark added.
In a typical winter, influenza type A, of which there are two strains, typically peaks from late December to mid-January, according to Dr. Morris Cohen, public health officer for both the county and the city of Aspen. Cases of type B influenza usually peak in January and February, but this year the flu appears to be gaining strength now, he said.
Nationally, the percentage of specimens testing positive for influenza hovered at an unusually low 4 to 5 percent as flu season commenced, but it has been on the rise lately, Cohen said. It was at 18.4 percent for the week ending Feb. 25, an increase from 14.6 percent the previous week, according to health officials.
“We were way below normal until now. It makes me worry about a late surge,” Cohen said. “What we’re saying is it’s not too late to get a flu shot.”
People who received a vaccine last fall don’t need another one, he added.
The flu usually comes on suddenly, according to Community Health. People who have the flu often feel some or all of these symptoms: fever or feeling feverish/chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches and fatigue. Some individuals experience vomiting and diarrhea, though those effects are more common in children than adults.

, born in 1892 in Teoc, Mississippi
, died in November
John Hurt spent most of his life digging ditches and performing hard, physical labor on the farms around his hometown in Mississippi, playing music only at parties and in the evenings for his neighbours and family. His first encounter with fame came in the 20's, when he started playing with a local fiddler. After a few brief recordings in 1928, including the 'Avalon Blues' and the
Candy Man Blues', he sank back into obscurity.
Only in the 1960's, during the great blues revival, was he found again, by two college students who tracked him down through the song 'Avalon Blues', locating the backwater town on an old, civil war era map. He travelled to New York, and recorded three records for the Vanguard record company, all within the span of three days; there is a story that he befriended only Patrick Sky, another southern folk singer, while in New York, and could play only after all the others in the recording studio had left. Shortly afterward, he suffered a heart attack and died, on the 2nd of November, 1966, having finally received the attention he so deserved.
In contrast to almost all the other blues artists of his time, his style was laid back, relaxed; one of his most famous quotes, "I don't like no confusion". He perfectly blends the vocals and guitar, often trailing off with his voice and letting the instrument pick up the sense. He never considered himself a bluesman, and his music is as much folk and Celtic (from the Scots-Irish background of his home) as it is blues.
Some of his most famous recordings include the Richland Woman Blues, the Avalon Blues, Candy Man, Funky Butt, and Stagolee.

The conversation about consent and sexual harassment is far from over. This time, a model is bravely speaking out about alleged misconduct from a French magazine that published nude photos of her on their cover when she specifically told them not to. According to her Instagram post, Victoria's Secret model Sara Sampaio alleges that French publication Lui magazine posted the unapproved nude cover shot.
Skip navigation! Story from Fashion. She adds that even though modeling is one of the few industries where women outearn men, they still are not respected and are often violated — which is how she felt after the incident with Lui.
The model posted a lengthy Instagram statement about mistreatment on set. Sampaio posted a note on Instagram detailing her experience on set and revealed that the adult entertainment magazine published the cover, which has since been taken down from social media, despite knowing her disapproval of the final images. She explained that she laid out very clear ground rules before ever stepping onto set.
British Vogue kicked off this current run of magazine covers featuring naked models with its June issue with Natalia Vodianova on the cover. We get itmodels have nice bodies and with the Northern summer now in full swing, it is bikini season. But where is the high fashion we turn to Vogue for when you put Natalia on the cover of Vogue sans clothes? Yeah, just do it.

An article in the November issue of Glamour Magazine discusses beautiful woman who are larger than standard sample sizes and continues the discussion started by a photo of plus-size model Lizzie Miller from the magazine's September issue. Accompanying the article, titled, "Oh. These Bodies Are Beautiful," is the above photograph of seven models who are all closer to size 12 than size 2.
The supermodels are back and better than ever. In one photo, Schiffer posed completely nude, holding a clutch and heels over her private areas. In her second cover shot, she opted for a black blazer — sans underwear or bra.
Cara Delevingne is paying homage to Kate Moss in the sexiest way possible — nude on a magazine cover. For the Marie Claire September issue, Delevingne is laying on her stomach baring it all and showing off the various tattoos on her rib cage and arms. In the accompanying feature, the British beauty opened up about what the fashion industry has meant to her since she signed with Storm Model Management in high school. When discussing her struggles with mental health and how it affected her upbringing, she explained that modeling became almost like a safe-haven.
Kim Kardashian is back at it again with the nude magazine covers, this time fronting GQ's 10th anniversary "Love, Sex, and Madness" issue. Touted as "Kim as you've never seen her before," the cover shows the year-old reality TV star completely naked, covering herself with a leather jacket. Sorry GQ, but we're pretty sure we've seen Kim like this before, several times.
The former "Baywatch" star is the last nude cover model for the magazine before it goes to a non-nude format next year. It'll be the 14th cover for Anderson, and the 15th time she's been featured in the publication. For the last-ever nude edition, Anderson got a page pictorial shot by Ellen Von Unwerth.

The rise and rise of peer-to-peer, short-stay accommodation websites is the latest step in the evolution of the accommodation industry.
Worldwide, travellers who prefer a homely base for their holiday rather than the impersonal surroundings of a hotel, motel or backpacker hostel are choosing to book their accommodation through websites such as Airbnb, which connects hosts with renters.
In June the company opened its first New Zealand office in Auckland to manage growth.
Only seven years old, the company has 1.2 million listings worldwide and more than 7000 in New Zealand.
More than 300 of those listings are in Queenstown, where prices typically range between $50 and $1500 a night but average about $340.
Airbnb is but one of more than 90 websites Queenstown’s council is monitoring as it considers the rules governing the industry.
Connecting holidaymakers either directly with homeowners or with property management companies, the websites offer everything from a couch to some of the resort’s most opulent hideaways.
Webster says it is monitoring websites with the intention of contacting unregistered owners and those needing a resource consent, and telling them to register or apply for consent. The level of service attached can vary from an owner leaving a key under the mat, through to guests sharing meals with the host family, to guests’ every whim being met through luxury property management services.
It would be logical to think the industry’s phenomenal growth would be scaring the resort’s hoteliers, but not so, the Tourism Industry Association’s hotel sector regional chairwoman, Penny Clark, says.
Clark says the peer-to-peer sector did not pose a major threat to her industry because they were catering for a different group of people.
Hotels provided certainty, security and 24-7 wraparound services, while residential short-stay providers catered for independently-minded travellers who didn’t mind spending extra time and effort on planning their holidays.
The peer-to-peer sector was so well established abroad that travellers now expected to see it among Queenstown’s accommodation offerings, she says.
“The reality is that it’s here to stay, and we all have to live together.”
What did seriously concern the hotel sector was the reduction in the number of houses available in the resort for long-term rent, which made it harder for its workforce to find affordable places to live.
“There’s less houses out there because people on Airbnb see it as a better way of making a dollar on their investment house.”
As the peer-to-peer sector has grown worldwide, many property owners have operated under the radar – failing to register with local authorities, not declaring income to their tax authority and avoiding their increased liability to property tax.
In the Queenstown Lakes district, property owners must register with the council if they want to take paying guests for up to 90 nights a year. If they want to exceed that number, they must get a resource consent.
But most are failing to register, either because they are ignorant of the rules or because they know it would mean paying more rates as their property’s status changes from residential to mixed use.
Council regulatory manager Lee Webster says that, at last count, 741 properties in Queenstown and Wanaka were registered as short-term visitor accommodation providers.
After working through only a quarter of the 90-odd websites listing short-stay accommodation in the district, the council was aware of another 1000 unregistered properties.
Instead of enforcing its present rules, the council is planning a stick-and-carrot approach.
Through its district plan review, it proposes more permissive rules to encourage more property owners to come under its regulatory umbrella.
It has drawn up rules in its proposed district plan – submissions for which close on October 23.
“We are trying to find a balance between enabling an activity that offers benefits to landowners and the district’s tourism offering but at the same time recognising that it has the potential to generate adverse effects on residential amenity.”
The increasing use of homes for visitor accommodation could be contributing to the resort’s rental shortage “but we can’t quantify that”.
In low and medium-density residential areas, registered owners would be permitted to let their properties for up to 28 nights a year.
To operate for between 28 and 180 nights a year, property owners would need to submit a management plan showing they could satisfy standards around issues such as number of guests, operating hours, noise, parking and access.
Above 180 nights a year, they would have to undergo the more onerous process of applying for consent as a non-complying activity.
In high-density residential areas, registered owners could let their properties for up to 90 nights a year.
To go above that number they would have to submit a management plan and gain a consent as a complying activity.
Webster says the rules would be accompanied by a review of enforcement, which could range from a simple requirement to register, to imposing a $300 fine or ordering property owners to cease operating.

Climate change to affect fruits, nuts
Updated: 2011-05-30 07:54
By Shaun Tandon (China Daily)
WASHINGTON - Climate change is expected to alter the global fruits and nuts industry dramatically as crops such as pistachios and cherries struggle amid rising temperatures, researchers said.
A study said that even if polluters took greater action to cut carbon emissions, the effect of climate change will likely be severe enough that the nearly $100 billion-a-year industry will need to reassess planning.
The study, published in May by the online journal PLoS One, expected fruit and nut trees to be highly affected in California, the southeastern United States, China's southwestern Yunnan province and southern and southwestern Australia.
Areas that have already seen the worst losses from winter chill include Israel, Morocco, Tunisia and the Cape region of South Africa, the study said.
Co-author Eike Luedeling of the Nairobi-based World Agroforestry Centre said that farmers making long-term investments needed to realize quickly that fruits and nuts are more vulnerable than many other crops.
"If I'm growing wheat or maize, then from one year to the next I can decide whether to plant a little late or plant a little earlier or plant a different variety," Luedeling said.
"But for trees, you can't. Once you've made a decision to plant a certain crop, you're locked in for 30 years," he said.
Luedeling, who observed the problem of declining yields while researching trees in Oman, said that the economic effect of climate change on fruits and nuts would depend on decisions being made now.
"If farmers wake up to the reality of climate change and start making these adjustments - switching to cultivars that are appropriate in the future, but not necessary now yet - then the disruption to markets could be minimal," he said. "But if we don't, if farmers believe they can keep doing what their grandfathers have done, then we will see some serious problems."
Climate change is forecast to have less effect on cooler temperate regions and the winter chill may actually increase in some colder regions, the study found.
Co-author Evan Girvetz, a senior climate scientist at The Nature Conservancy, a US environmental group, said cooler regions had a greater window for rising temperatures as they started out with more days of winter chill.
However, many warmer areas are "already on that edge of not having enough cold temperatures during the winter for good fruit and nut production," Girvetz said. "They have years when you don't have enough full production and as we move into the future, we are finding that that's going to become more common."
Even if the world cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions, "we are still projecting that the suitability for growing these crops is likely to decrease," he said.

S. G. Warburg of Britain, its aspirations of becoming a global financial powerhouse in tatters, agreed yesterday to sell its investment banking operations to the Swiss Bank Corporation for $1.37 billion.
The deal, assuming it is approved by Warburg's shareholders, would leave Britain with no independently owned investment banks of any size less than a decade after the nation threw its financial services industry open to worldwide competition.
It would also effectively mean the end of Warburg, which was founded six decades ago by Siegmund Warburg, a member of a prominent Jewish banking family who fled Germany for London following the rise of Hitler. His firm evolved from an aggressive, innovative outsider in the clubby world of British finance into the reigning establishment firm, only to falter in the last year, a victim of its own missteps, difficult market conditions and an onslaught from rivals in the United States and Europe.
The deal, widely expected since the two firms announced last week that they were talking, follows the failure six months ago of merger discussions between Warburg and Morgan Stanley of the United States and ensuing approaches to Warburg by a variety of other possible partners.
Swiss Bank, the third-largest banking company in Switzerland, said it would combine its own investment banking operations with those of Warburg and run them as a subsidiary called SBC Warburg. Marcel Ospel, a member of the Swiss Bank group executive committee, would be chief executive, with the chairman of Warburg, Sir David Scholey, serving as chairman.
The deal does not include Warburg's 75 percent interest in Mercury Asset Management, the largest money management firm in Britain and by far the most profitable unit of Warburg. Mercury was the main attraction to Morgan Stanley during the merger discussions with Warburg, but Swiss Bank made clear from the start that it was interested only in the investment banking business of Warburg, in part because it already had its own asset management operations.
Warburg said it would liquidate its remaining holdings by distributing its stake in Mercury to its shareholders, along with the cash proceeds from the sale to Swiss Bank. The share distribution would meet the desire of the management of Mercury for full independence.
Warburg said the package of cash and Mercury shares would have a value of at least $:8.50, or about $13.60, a Warburg share, suggesting a total value for Warburg of $:2.2 billion, or about $3.52 billion.
The price being paid by Swiss Bank represents a premium of about 8 percent over the book value of the Warburg investment bank, a level that analysts said was fair given the weakened condition of Warburg. Industry executives said it was still possible that another bidder could emerge, such as a British bank like National Westminster.
Warburg has been rocked for months by dwindling profits, the defections of key employees and a handful of big clients and uncertainty about its strategy for surviving against rivals like Goldman, Sachs, J. P. Morgan, Merrill Lynch and Deutsche Bank.
Even in its weakened state, however, Warburg was an appealing target for Swiss Bank, which has sought to diversify beyond its core commercial banking activities into investment banking. Warburg, despite losing clients like Glaxo Wellcome in recent weeks, has longstanding relationships with many of the largest companies in Britain, is the leader in European mergers and acquisitions and has a big equity operation.
Swiss Bank is strong in selling sophisticated financial investments like derivatives and has a sizable bond trading business.
Swiss Bank will have to work hard to hold onto Warburg's clients and employees as competitors seek to poach them during the transition to new ownership. The merger, moreover, would do nothing to address one of the big problems at Warburg, its lack of a large presence in the biggest financial market, the United States. Though both Warburg and Swiss Bank have operations in New York, neither has been a force on Wall Street.
"With SBC's balance sheet and Warburg's client list, they're going to be difficult to compete with in Europe," said Johnny de la Hay, an analyst at SGST Securities in London. "But the U.S. is the place to be, and in the short run at least, this deal isn't going to do anything about that."
The chairman of Swiss Bank, Georges Blum, said it was too soon to know how many people might lose their jobs after the firms were combined. But Warburg executives said they viewed Swiss Bank as largely complementary to its businesses and more likely to leave its employees in place than other possible bidders.
In the months following the collapse of the Morgan Stanley deal, Sir David insisted that Warburg would remain independent. But its woes continued to mount, and by the time the firm announced last week that its profits for the year that ended on March 31 would be well below the market's expectations, the firm was deep in negotiations with Swiss Bank.
Warburg said yesterday that it earned a pretax profit for the year of $:42.1 million, or about $67.3 million, compared with $:297 million, or $472.2 million, the previous year. A loss from the investment banking business was offset by strong results from Mercury.
Even a year ago, a sale under such circumstances would have seemed inconceivable for Warburg.
Under Siegmund Warburg and his partner, Henry Grunfeld, Warburg developed a reputation as one of the most creative firms in the financial world. They pioneered the hostile takeover -- successfully engineering the acquisition of British Aluminum in 1958 -- prompting a debate, still raging today, about whether such deals ever benefited the companies involved or simply generated big fees for their bankers.
They played a key role in the development of the Euromarkets during the 1960's, and gradually their financial acumen won over corporate clients who had previously given their business to the bowler hat-clad set that ran the stodgier firms that typified the old-school British merchant banks.
With London serving as the financial center of Europe, Warburg developed a strong presence on the Continent, and in recent years has been a large participant in European privatizations. As of last year it represented fully a quarter of the 250 largest companies in Britain and Europe.

Explaining our logo
Our club logo is very symbolic:
The blue represents the sea and sky, while the white depicts Aotea, the long white cloud.
The green koru's shape shows movement, change and growth - it is a symbol of new beginnings, fresh ideas and the future.
And, in the background, is Rangitoto, an icon of Auckland and will be familiar to all who live or have visited our city. Rangitoto is an extinct volcano, which now forms a much-visited island in the Hauraki Gulf.
Who/what is Aotea Auckland?
International Inner Wheel is one of the largest voluntary women's service organisations active in more than 100 countries with over 100,000 members worldwide. Members are united by friendship and commitment to service in their communities.
2008 saw the formation of New Zealand’s first Inner Wheel "Next Generation" Club - the Inner Wheel Club of Aotea Auckland.
We are a club of young women who meet once a month to share friendship, common interests and goals, as well as supporting our community through service and fundraising activities.
NEW MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME...
We come from all over Auckland, meeting on the 2nd TUESDAY of each month from 7.00 pm at St Paul’s Church Hall, St Vincent Avenue, Remuera.

There are many different types of conveyor systems, and they convey many different types of loads. There are powered conveyors, which run on an engine of some sort, and gravity conveyors, which move their loads by gravity. Some conveyors use belts, some use chains, still others use rollers. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) details safety guidelines for the use of conveyors in several work environments.
OSHA's safety guidelines for conveyors apply to most applications of the equipment. The primary applications noted by OSHA are longshoring, construction and mining, though their guidelines also apply to any warehousing, material handling, logistics or other workplace uses for conveyors. Small conveyors used by individuals for home improvement projects or moving are not covered by OSHA's safety guidelines.
OSHA requires that conveyors be assembled in such a way that they are stable. Pieces of the conveyor should be firmly attached so that loads cannot separate the pieces, nor fall between the pieces. Conveyor supports must be stable and secure, and must be strong enough that they will not buckle as a load passes over them along the conveyor system.
For powered conveyors--that is, conveyors powered by an engine or electric motor--a set of controls must be available near the engine or motor, including an emergency brake. For conveyors that have a remote control center, this can mean a second set of controls on or near the conveyor system.
If conveyors are at the same level as personnel--that is, they are not overhead--and if they are carrying loads that could potentially fall over the side, guard rails must be present that are higher than the center of gravity of the loads most commonly carried on the conveyor.
For overhead conveyors, safety netting must be in place below and on the sides of the conveyor to protect personnel working below. If the conveyor is installed against a wall, the netting only needs to be below the conveyor and on the side of the conveyor opposite the wall.

Are you craving the taste of sweet food? Do you continue to eat even after you’re full?
If you can’t stop eating food with added sugar, you need to cut down, or eliminate it.
Sugar is difficult to avoid. It’s added to most packaged, restaurant and fast food.
Kick The Sugar Habit
Get rid of the food that makes you crave. Have a mango, instead of ice cream. Replace ketchup with a slice of tomato.
Mangoes are a tropical fruit that provide a healthy source of natural sugar. They are low in calories, contain vitamin A, vitamin C, antioxidants, and flavonoids.
Add More Fiber
Replace sugary food with fruits, and veggies. Eating more produce adds fiber to your diet, improving digestion, and elimination. As long as you drink plenty of water, you won’t need laxatives, when your diet is high in fiber.
Fresh fruit and vegetables make you feel full because of their fiber content. Known as roughage or bulk, fiber isn’t digested or absorbed.
When you eat food with added sugar, you’re ingesting calories from the sugar, plus the calories from the food itself.
Eliminate Packaged Food With Added Sugar
If you buy packaged food, read the label to find out if it contains added sugar. A few examples are canned fruit, tomato sauce, frozen food, and condiments such as ketchup.
Sugar Cravings May Cause Overeating
Some sugars have more calories than others, some have trace minerals, some are lower glycemic. Xylitol has fewer calories per teaspoon than sucrose, but its sweet flavor, may cause overeating.
Avoid Overweight and Obesity
Health benefits in honey, or maple syrup are of little value, if you experience cravings for more of the sweet stuff. Overeating leads to overweight, and obesity.

Hybrids that combine fossil-fuel engines with powerful electric motors are fast becoming the norm for high-performance executive cars. While scepticism about the costs and benefits of hybridisation remained widespread just a few years ago – among car buyers and motoring pundits if not among automotive engineers – there’s little doubt today. Hybrids have proven effective at combining high peak power with dramatic improvements in fuel efficiency, particular if the hybrid comes with a mains plug.
Today, you can buy a large and sporty hybrid from Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Porsche or Volvo, plus assorted rivals. Most are aimed firmly at senior company car users faced with steep CO2-related taxes, rather than cost-conscious consumers buying their cars on finance. But not every high-performance hybrid will be a company car: the latest Ferrari supercar blends petrol and electric power, and the McLaren P1 is a plug-in, though it may prove tough to persuade your fleet manager to sanction either one.
Another batch of prestige hybrids are on the way soon. Here’s a run-down of what to expect.
Range Rover hybrids
Land Rover is adding a hybrid option to both its latest Range Rover and new Range Rover Sport line-ups. The pair will share the same powertrain, combining a 3-litre V6 diesel engine with a 35kW (47bhp) electric motor.
The motor is housed inside the car’s eight-speed automatic transmission, meaning it can assist the engine in sending power to all four wheels. Land Rover has evidently shied away from its previous experimental “e-Terrain” setup, which paired an electric rear axle with combustion power at the front – a part-time 4x4 setup since adopted by Volvo for its V60 Plug-in Hybrid.
The hybrid Range Rover can travel on electric motor alone at speeds up to 30mph, but only for very short distances – the small on-board lithium-ion battery will be exhausted after just one mile in EV mode.
Working together, the diesel engine and electric motor can produce 335bhp at 4,000rpm and a tarmac-rippling 700Nm of torque from 1,500rpm. As a result, in either hybrid car, 62mph can flash up in under seven seconds when urgency is called for, while CO2 emissions are a tolerable 169g/km under the official test paired with 44.1mpg. Those are good figures for a pair of 2.4-tonne behemoths.
Both hybrids will go on sale on 10 September, with the first deliveries due in early 2014.
BMW X5 eDrive
Officially a concept for next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show, the BMW X5 eDrive looks ready to go and could be on sale as early as 2015.
This particular X5 comes with a plug, providing its lithium-ion battery with enough capacity to travel up to 19 miles without switching on the engine, at speeds up to 75mph.
The engine itself is a four-cylinder turbocharged unit which, when paired with the 70kW (94bhp) motor is capable of whipping the plug-in X5 to 62mph in under seven seconds. The electrically assisted powertrain, coupled with a basic 90kg weight saving courtesy of the third-generation X5 body, promises excellent fuel economy. Expect 74.3mpg on the combined cycle and CO2 emissions of under 90g/km when a production version arrives.
Mercedes S-Class Plug-in
You can already buy a hybrid Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but the German company is about to add a mains cable.
When it goes on sale next year the S 500 Plug-in Hybrid should deliver 69g/km of CO2 and 94.2mpg on its combined cycle test, though of course these figures rely on a contribution from a wall socket. In common with other plug-in hybrids, including the X5 listed above, the S 500’s economy will suffer a drastic drop once the initial electrical charge has been used up. On batteries alone, the big Merc can travel up to 18 miles.
Under the bonnet Mercedes has bolted an electric motor that provides 80kW (107bhp) and up to 340Nm of torque, combined with up to 330bhp and 480Nm from a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine. Going from rest to 62mph will take a brief 5.5 seconds.
Like the X5 and Range Rover above, the S 500 Plug-in Hybrid will make its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, when lots more details – including some fairly steep starting prices – should be revealed.

On the second anniversary of Mom’s death, I watched as the balloon rose high, floated far away on the wings of the wind, and then disappeared from my view. Although the small speck eventually moved out of the range of sight possible for my human eyes, I knew with my whole being—with certainty beyond any doubt—that it was still there, still floating, still on the way to its unknown destination. In that fleeting, extraordinary instant, I felt connected to Mom in her new world, the whole universe, and beyond. At that moment, the words of Sarah Young from my morning meditation, returned to my consciousness: “Things that are visible are brief and fleeting, while things that are invisible are everlasting.”
Walking home from the cemetery, I wondered, what else is there—existing—beyond the ability of my human eyes to see, beyond the capacity of my other human senses to perceive, beyond the comprehension of my mind? Savoring this moment of deep encounter, I recognized that my time with Mom was “glorious”—it was completely unexpected and completely transforming—and that there had been other such surprising experiences in my life as well. The first was my years spent in Southern California; there, I had experiences that, as a girl growing up in Iowa, I did not dare to even dream about. Then came the years at Harvard Divinity School; this was far beyond any plan or hope I could have imagined for myself. Then the descent into hell in Maine and the resurrection of my life; the publishing of my books; the forgiving of Mom, and the healing of our relationship. As I left the cemetery that day—and every day since then—I have wondered when the next, unexpected glorious mystery will enter my path, and what it will be. As I journey on - not knowing when I’ll encounter the next glorious or un-glorious mystery - I look forward to continuous opportunities to discover and explore new parts of myself. Forever, I hope to be walking on this path that I know is leading me toward healing and wholeness. Presence and Wonder will always be my faithful companions.

Katō Tateo of the Imperial Japanese Army-Air Corps trains new volunteers from the Army's Infantry to become Japan's next generation of fighter pilots at the Tokorozawa Flying School. Flying Kawasaki Ko-4 biplanes, Lt. Katō will train both friend and future foe alike. But as war in China breaks out, Katō now in command of the 5th Rentai will take his untested men flying antiquated planes into aerial combat against the Chinese Air Force who is now headed by Lt. Cho who Katō both earlier befriended and personally trained himself. While Katō's squadron ultimately achieves air superiority over the skies of Manchuria, it comes at a high price in men to which each loss carries a heavy burden that he alone must carry. As the war widens into the Second World War, Captain Katō must battle an ever advancing array of deadlier new enemies flying ever more modern fighter planes.

December 14 – Hagerstown Mayor and Council had a work session yesterday afternoon where the group talked restaurants.
Mayor and Council discussed the reallocation of ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funding to create a city-wide restaurant grant program with $250,000 in the coffers.
Council suggested that marketing, advertising and branding be eligible for the funding as well.
Wes Decker, Communications Officer for the City of Hagerstown, said, “Also that there would be a maximum amount. There had not been a cap put on that by staff. There was no minimum or maximum. The mayor brought up chain restaurants, would they be eligible? The answer from staff was yes. So initially council said we don’t think the chain restaurants should be eligible, but once they decided that they would put a $50,000 cap on amount, they said then everyone would be eligible. We’ll continue to work on that. I believe the suggestions that were made will all be put into a package that will be presented to mayor and council next week for a vote.”
This would be for existing restaurant spaces or spaces where a restaurant could go in and the funding is to help those who have the idea. It’s a one to one match with the investor and the grant money.
Decker said, “If all goes well, applications could be taken by the end of this year and then would go to a review committee.”
In terms of local chains, like Chick-fil-A, that could be an option.
Decker said, “You have local operators who do a lot for the community and within the community. So with that $50,000 cap now put on the total amount the council felt a little bit better about including all chain restaurants including those who are operated locally.”
The Program Open Space annual application process is open now. The city has three priorities that include renovating the visitor’s center at Johnathan Hager House, the Antietam Creek waterway trail and Hagerstown Field House.
Decker said the Antietam Creek waterway trail “had received POS back in 2020 about $45,000 there, so this would be continuing that project…those are the three that were on the list. Council agreed to all of those for fiscal year 2024. The list of projects will now go to Washington County and will be submitted by December 29.”
The final meeting of 2022 for Mayor and Council will be December 20 and the mic will be open for citizen comment.

Stay Dry Liners - Information, Reviews, and a Giveaway
What is a Stay Dry Liner? A stay dry liner is a thin liner, usually made of Fleece that sits in between the diaper and baby’s bum, wicks away moisture, and keeps baby comfy.
Why would I use a Stay Dry Liner? Most pocket diapers and All-In-One diapers use a fleece or microsuede fabric that sits between the inserts and baby’s bum. These fabrics are made to wick moisture away from baby and into the insert. This keeps baby dry, comfortable, and happy. However, when using prefolds. flats, or many fitteds, there is no stay dry layer in the diaper. This can cause baby to be uncomfortable as they are aware of the wet diaper on them. This is great when potty training, but not so great at other times. Stay dry liners cure this problem by adding that comfy barrier between baby and the wet diaper. While these liners do wick moisture away, they are not absorbent and do not add to the absorbency of your diaper. Liners are also used to protect the diaper from stains or front non cloth diaper safe rash creams.
Can I use Diaper Cream with a Stay Dry Liner? Another main purpose for this liner is to act as a barrier to protect the diaper. Many parents use liners (reusable or disposable) to protect their diaper from poop stains, to remove poop easier, and/or to protect from non cloth safe diaper rash creams. You do have to be careful to place the liner in the center of the diaper to give it the most protection.
How do you launder a Stay Dry Liner? If you are using a non cloth diaper safe cream, do NOT wash your Stay Dry Liners with the rest of your diapers as the cream can come off in the wash and ruin your diapers. You must wash them separately, using either your regular diaper wash routine or hand washing. If you are not using a cream that is not cloth diaper safe, you can wash your liners along with the rest of your diaper laundry.
Reviews: I reviewed two different kinds of Stay Dry Liners – The bumGenius Stay Dry Liners and the Bummis Fleece Liners.
bumGenius on Left and Bummis on Right
bumGenius Stay Dry Liner Review
Overall Performance: ★★★★★ This liner is fabulous! The liner measures approximately 12.5 in x 5.5 inches after washing. This makes it the perfect length and width to fit most diapers and not let any poop or cream get onto the diaper. The fabric is white fleece which is very soft and comfy against baby bum. Also, this liner has enough material to it that it is able to stay in place well. A pack of 6 liners costs approximately $5.99 and is available from my affiliate Kelly’s Closet, link to right.
Bummis Fleece Liner Review
Overall Performance: ★★★★☆ This liner works very well, when it stays in place. This liner is made from a very thin microfleece, which is soft and comfy for baby but is a tad flimsy and tends to roll-up or bunch in the diaper. I found this to be a problem on occasion, but it did not happen all of the time. As the reason for using this liner is to create a barrier, it does not work if it rolls-up or bunches. This liner measures 12 in x 5 in after washing. With many diapers, this liner may be a little narrow to create the barrier that you want, but may work better than the bumGenius liners with newborn diapers as it is narrower. This liner is also available at my affiliate, Kelly’s closet, for $5.00 for a pack of five liners.

‘The Bachelor’: Peter Weber and Other Leads Who Went Right Back to Work after Their Seasons
Going on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette can lead to a number of great career opportunities, which is why the leads are always so set on finding out who truly is there for the right reasons. Appearing on the show gives contestants and leads, alike, the chance to start a completely different life. Many of them even quit their day jobs and begin a career of Instagram modeling and promoting or starting a business of their own.
But despite the opportunity to make a lot of cash in a new gig, some Bachelor and Bachelorette alums decide to go right back to their old jobs after finishing their season.
Weber’s season may have just begun but the newest Bachelor is already back to flying planes with Delta Airlines. He reportedly went back to his job just a week after filming wrapped.
“That’s my passion,” he said in an interview with USA Today.“That’s my first love.”
Weber currently flies 737s and has no plans of leaving the job.
After ending his journey as season 19’s Bachelor, Soules went back to work on his family’s farm in Iowa. Unfortunately, he was involved in a fatal car accident in 2017 which caused him to stay largely out of the limelight for years.
While Tanner Tolbert and his wife Jade Roper are pretty active on Instagram and don’t hesitate to show off their adorable family, Tolbert still works in the same field that he did before finding love on Bachelor in Paradise. He currently works as a sales manager in the automobile industry.
Arie Luyendyk Jr.
Luyendyk Jr. had a very controversial ending to his season. Originally, he chose Becca Kufrin and proposed to her. But later, he reached out to his runner-up Lauren Burnham. When he reconnected with Burnham, he decided that he would rather be with her and broke things off with Kufrin. Though Luyendyk had a hard time sticking to one woman, he hasn’t found it as hard to stick to one career. He is currently a realtor, which he was doing before the show, as well.
Abasolo first appeared on season 13 of The Bachelorette. Though he was not a fan favorite, Rachel Lindsay did end up picking him in the end. The two got married in 2019. Before going on the show, Abasolo was working as a chiropractor. Since the show, he went back to Miami to continue his job.
Season five’s Bachelorette, Harris, did return to working in the same field as she did before going on the show, but she used the franchise as a springboard to expand her job. She worked at an interior goods store before going on the show and she now has her own interior brand, as well as a line of limited edition diffusers with Saje Natural Wellness. She has also since appeared on a number of shows like Love It or List It Vancouver, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and Canada’s Handyman Challenge.
All of the people on this list just prove that you can go back to a sense of somewhat normalcy after competing on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette.

Works in Progress
I've finished the front and back of the Nashua Handknits Cabled Pullover from their North American Lifestyle Series book called "Relax" (Autumn 2005/Winter 2006). Now I have to block the daylights out of the front, and hope it softens up from its highly erect state (think Viagra). This is the back. I opted not to do the middle, complicated cable for the back. This is interesting enough for me. You can see the front here. After I block the front and back and put them together, I'll probably do the sleeves from the top down, especially if I have to add panels to the sides for fit. Stay tuned....
This is half of the beautiful band for the Rebecca (GGH) Wide Sweater with Round Yoke (Magazine No.34 August - October 2007). It is the 12th design from the top on this page. I'm not using their yarn. I'm using Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran.
This is most of the body of the Gwenivere's Choice Tunic from Iris Shreier's Lacy Little Knits. It's the design on the cover, though I chose a different color combination. I'm using the Cashmere 1 single -ply with the Ultramerino 8. I just need to finish the top of the back, then add the arms. The color combination is gorgeous in person, though I'm not sure this photo does it justice.

Online dating scam and fraud birmingham dating service
The profiles show different locations and cities in Russia, Ukraine and other ex-Soviet Union countries.But every time a bad profile is placed on our site, or we ask the victims to forward us the full e-mail headers of the scammer's e-mail, they ALWAYS show the same IPs and the same Internet Service providers.
He spoke with what she thought was a British accent and his picture on Facebook portrayed a nice-looking man with graying hair and a beard.
Lets talk about individual scammers, those who place their profiles on the different online dating services, free and paid.
What we don't like about the existing Russian scam lists is that they provide the impression that there are thousands of Russian scammers out there, and behind each scam profile stays different girl (or guy, whatever). We are absolutely convinced: Russian girls are NOT scammers!
"In the process of going back and forth, a scammer is going to try to figure out what makes a person tick, what their vulnerable spots are," said Jenny Shearer, an FBI spokeswoman.
"Because a victim has legitimate feelings, they might be inclined to offer financial support for this person." For Best, it all started when she signed up for a free online dating site called mingle2.

I almost didn’t make it to the show Friday night. A mix of exhaustion from my first week doing shows every night to the discouragement I was feeling with seeing news of new mandates and my mind taking that and running with it to all the worst scenarios as it tends to do, I honestly would have been so content just ordering some pizza and going to be before the sun even went done but that’s not my style. You all know that. Well, it’s not my style and I’m low key embarrassed that I have lived in the Twin Cities for almost fifteen years not and have never seen Run Westy Run. Friday night was my chance to finally see this legendary band and no exhaustion or bad attitude was going to keep me from it so I rallied and made my way to the beautiful Turf Club in Saint Paul.
According to their Bandcamp, opening act Lunch Duchess is “baroque-grunge” and honestly, I couldn’t think of a better way to describe this unique band’s sound. From the get-go, I was absolutely captivated by the dreamy and slightly unstable pop tones that radiated from the stage. I don’t know what it was about this band but I was absolutely stuck in the palm of their hand throughout their set. The music isn’t quite for me as I felt it was a bit too dreamy at times and the vocals were just way too quiet for my personal preference (what can I say, I’m a lyrics lady) but, even with those things running against them, Lunch Duchess had me caught. I think it was a mixture of never knowing what was going to come next from this band. Was it going to be a bit of a 90’s R&B vibe or an explosion of sound with tender vocals cascading over the clash of instruments. I’m not going to question it. I fell in love with Lunch Duchess last night and that’s seriously all that matters.
With only two acts on the show,. you would have thought the night moved fast but it seemed to drag as the time between acts stretched. Even though I was starting to fade, knowing that I was finally going to cross Run Westy Run off of my list kept me going and I was re-energized by the time they took the stage. Now, full disclosure, I know very little about this band other than the fact that they used to be kings of the scene. I constantly see their name associated with Hüsker Dü and R.E.M. I know they are from an era I wasn’t a part of but always felt like I should have been and that had sparked the interest in me. As the band took the stage, I felt my excitement reach in palpable level. Thankfully, the band wasted no time and jumped right into what would turn into a lengthy and amazing set.
I had an idea of what I was going to get from Run Westy Run and I was pretty much dead on but this band is truly something to see live. Beyond their legendary and classic 90’s rock sound that had me smiling from ear to ear (I’m a 90’s baby through and through) was the amount of personality that radiated from the stage. Although a bit older than most of the bands I go saee on a daily basis, this band radiated fun and energy like I hadn’t experienced lately. From dancing to joking around on stage, I loved how, although a big name here in the Twin Cities who has probably played the stage at the Turf Club countless times, they still enjoy being on stage and entertaining the audience. Not only were the band members dancing, so was the audience and there was absolutely no end in sight. Their set was long but so fun and, although I didn’t know all of the songs, it was clear that every song was a hit to the audience that was clearly full of superfans.
I found myself constantly shifting from watching the stage to watching the audience. No matter where I looked, there were smiles and people dancing which made me smile and dance. None of us know what is going to happen in the near future and things are surely going to continue to be weird and always changing but, if you find nights like the night I had on Friday night, you might just forget everything that’s going outside with the virus, the smoke in the air, whatever else it is. Everyone needs those kind of nights and that kind of night was provided to me by Lunch Duchess and Run Westy Run.

Although one bat in their house is enough for most people, a family of five bats is really intimidating. However, they are living creatures, and deserve to be evicted humanely without the use of pesticides. Since human safety is important too for bat removal services in NJ, the use of chemical sprays should only be used in rare circumstances.
To some people, they aren’t the cutest animals in the world, but bats aren’t pests. It’s interesting to note that they are important to the environment because they eat insects. Which reduces the need for pesticides. A reputable bat removal service knows this.
In New Jersey, a bat removal service deals with two common bat types that get into the homes of residents and sometimes scare the heck out of them.
The most common bats found in the New Jersey area are the Little Brown bat and the Big Brown bat. Although biologically they say you can tell the difference between the two by the number of occipital rings found in their ears. As a bat removal service, we can tell you that the easiest way to decipher them is by their poop size.
Bat Removal Service NJ – Bat Facts and Personalities
Both the little and big brown bats live in colonies. These colonies are further separated into gender colonies. The bachelor colonies are male bats and the matriarchal colonies, are groups of female bats. In the fall, these colonies get together to form one large colony to mate. Once the mating season ends, these colonies break up and go to find a place to hibernate for the winter.
Homeowners aren’t the only ones who have to deal with these lovely little creatures. Bats don’t discriminate. Usually, any place that’s warm and dark will do. Bat removal services get called to many different establishments, such as food service facilities, health care facilities, industrial and commercial facilities, just to name a few.
Where the bats make their home depends on the weather and biological conditions. However, sometimes, bats accidentally fly into a building. As a bat removal service in New Jersey, we’ve come across a variety of situations.
Bat Behavior and Bat Removal Services in NJ
The housing needs of a Bat is broken down into three categories, and we’ll use the female bats as an example because they’re the ones who rear the babies:
Winter: Bats hibernate for the winter so ideally, they travel to find caves or old mine shafts. But often they end up roosting in a wall void or an attic. The female bats are pregnant while they hibernate.
Spring: If you suspect bats are in your attic during the spring or summer, it’s more than likely being used as a nursery.
Summer: By the end of summer, the baby bats can fend for themselves. Then mating season begins.
Bats may seem intimidating, but they actually aren’t. If you think you may have bats in your attic, call a bat removal service in NJ, like ours – don’t try to do it yourself. We can also give you tips on bat-proofing your house. Contact us today!

Coot Stew is an appealing, medium-paced
chart with a relaxed swing feel that gives the sax section several great
opportunities to shine – the statement of the melody, a section soli,
lots of winding unison lines interacting with powerful brass figures.
was originally published by Kendor in 1990, and after being out of print
while, we are finally able to re-release it here. It has solo space for
piano, baritone sax, and muted trumpet.
To hear a sample of this track before purchasing, please click play on the flash player below. The full MP3 of the piece is available to you in your account after purchase.
This is a little more difficult that the other old Kendor music we are re-releasing and would be better suited for high school or college-level bands. In fact, my band used to play this every once in a while during our Monday night tenure at Visiones.

Thornton Wilder's play makes one small town the iconic Everytown, USA. With the Stage Manager to guide us, we see the characters experience and sometimes overlook their daily hopes and fears. Through Emily, caught in a limbo of the newly departed, we are forced to think about fleeting mortality.
In considering modern interpretations of these and other themes as related to a normalized American Dream, you will have to decide which aspects resonate with you. Perhaps an aspect of American life that resembles or draws on your own heritage? Many works by writers who are immigrants or whose parents were consider the changing meanings. Jamaica Kincaid, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Chang Rae Lee all come to mind.
"Modern" drama of the mid-late-twentieth century frequently deployed the theme. Edward Albee wrote a play titled "The American Dream." Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun takes its title from a Langston Hughes poem that asks, "what happens to a dream deferred?"
Think as well about how our norms...

“!Now Ya Know” is a weekly series from Mixologi profiling artists you may not have heard of. Every week we will be selecting a new artist for you to keep on your radar.
A few years ago I was browsing through the Juxtapoz website (which you should absolutely check out if you are at all interested in urban art) and I came across this amazing artist named Nathan Spoor. Now, I am not much an art snob, (although I totally acted like one after stumbling out of a coffee shop in Amsterdam and into the Van Gogh Museum one day) but I like to think I know dope art when I see it. For years I have periodically checked out Nathan’s work, but never really shared it with anyone cause frankly, I wanted him to be my own little secret (pause).
Every once and I while I come across someone in the artistic community, whether it be a singer, actor, musician, or artist that I wish I could tell everyone in the world about. Well, here is my attempt: World, meet Nathan!
I’d best explain his art as what you would get if Mega Man and Salvador Dali conceived a baby on a camping trip. His art doesn’t just make you feel like you are a kid again; it gives you a glimpse into what happens when an adult actually maintains a child’s ability to imagine. His pieces are extremely captivating, and overwhelmingly humbling by giving you an eerie mix of scenic creativity and loneliness. If you are an adventurous explorer, his pieces will make you want to enter his world, if you are a cautious hermit, they will make you greatly appreciate the comfort of your own home. Either way you will be moved.

I have been to Rotterdam more than a couple of times, but whenever I come to the city, I always don’t have enough time to explore everything that I want.
The city of Rotterdam has really a lot of things to offer: modern architecture and interesting street art; cultural events, museums and much more. But every time I go to the city, I see only a small part of what I want to see and then I run out of time. This has become like a habit of mine. 😅 Therefore, I will definitely come back again when I will have more time! Due to, I really want to explore Rotterdam properly and the city deserves it because there are so many things to see and experience! Wish me luck, ha ha.
So, for now I leave you with some pictures that I have taken at the Tower of Rotterdam, which is called „Euromast”. It is the highest watchtower in the Netherlands and offers a nice viewing spot, where you can also just sit down, chill and enjoy the panoramic view.
So, until the next post.
