It is difficult in today's marketplace to sort through the safety claims and the meaning behind words such as "safe" or "harmless." Because of this, we have put together a growing directory of companies that are interested in providing the services you want, without poisoning you, your family, or the environment. The directory is intended to be used for pest problems in homes, lawns, commercial sites, schools, parks, golf courses, and more.
Companies are listed in the Safety Source for Pest Management because they have completed the Beyond Pesticides survey and indicated that they use one or more practices and/or materials that we categorize as "non-toxic" or "least-toxic." Note that one concern that separates the toxic pesticide category from the least toxic pesticide category is the volatility of the chemical and its ability to vaporize or volatize into the ambient air. For instance, a bait with boric acid is non-volatile, while a bait with chlorpyrifos is volatile. We include in this directory the companies' survey responses in their own words so that you can see them for yourself. Many of the companies in the directory operate businesses that we consider "mixed operations" because they may also use products that we classify as "toxic." As a customer, you must talk with the service provider about the products that they use, inform yourself on their potential to cause adverse effects, and decide what makes sense for you.
This directory provides a number of links that should provide you with assistance. If a service indicates the use of a pesticide product, the directory provides a link to a factsheet on the product's active ingredient.
If you know of a pest management company that should be listed in this directory, contact us with their name and contact information. Please send us an email with this information. If you operate a pest management company and think your company belongs in this directory, please get in touch by email or by phone.

Fox wins US Amateur, beating Weaver on 37th hole
CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE, Colo. (AP) - Steve Fox made an 18-foot birdie putt on the 37th hole Sunday, completing a remarkable underdog run to win the U.S. Amateur at Cherry Hills.
The 21-year-old Fox, from Hendersonville, Tenn., was 2-down with two holes to play against Michael Weaver of Fresno, Calif., before rallying to force the extra hole.
Fox, a senior at Tennessee-Chattanooga, made an 11-foot birdie putt to win the 35th hole.
Still with a 1-up advantage, Weaver, a 21-year-old redshirt junior at the University of California, needed to make a 5-foot par putt on the 36th hole at the 18th green to secure the win, but it lipped out, extending the championship round to a 37th hole.
A shaken Weaver landed his next tee shot in the rough, putting himself in a tough spot and needing two more shots to put the ball on the green. Fox then hit a slow roller, breaking at the end from left to right, for the winning putt.
Fox, like Weaver, survived a 17-for-14 playoff to qualify for the 64-player match play field. Fox entered match play as the No. 63 seed.

Strong winds may have waylaid global warming
Gusts over the Pacific may have stashed heat underwater since 2001
Unusually strong trade winds whooshing over the Pacific may explain the ocean's cool temperatures and a recent hiatus in the rise of global temperatures. Though scientists aren't certain what caused the winds' strength to increase, they are confident that the winds will return to normal and global warming will continue apace.
Using a combination of climate simulations and weather data, researchers found that in the last two decades, forceful Pacific trade winds have pushed warm water westward. In the western Pacific, ocean currents dunk the heat deep in the ocean. The result is cooler water at the surface and a beguiling pause in warming, the authors report February 9 in Nature Climate Change.
Since 2001, researchers have noted a plateau in global average air temperatures despite the continued surge of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Global climate simulations have yet to account for

May no Yankee ever complain about being hated ever again. Because, after a lengthy legal war, the Yankees are officially recognized by the courts as Baseball's Evil Empire. They had it copyrighted. The Wall Street Journal reports the baseball team fought a trademark application from a group called Evil Enterprises who tried to lockdown the phrase that has been connected to the Bronx Bombers since 2002. In doing so, the team was granted the trademark for the phrase. So now when anyone says "Baseball's evil empire" they are officially referencing the New York Yankees, according to U.S. law.
The best part of this whole thing is how the Yankees argued to be recognized as the evil empire:
Part of the Yankees' argument: a concession that in the baseball world, they are, in fact, the "Evil Empire." In its legal papers, the team referenced a number of articles from the past decade using the term in connection with the Yankees, and conceded that the team has "implicitly embraced" the "Evil Empire" theme by playing music from Star Wars during their home games.
Basically, their argument was that everyone hates them and they play the "Imperial March" sometimes during games. Sometimes the law is a wonderful, amazing thing, and this is one of those times. Now someone cast Mariano Rivera in one of the new Star Wars movies and make this marriage complete.

Life on the Farm
By Herman D. Wildermuth
Much of the following account does not come from personal experience or knowledge, but "bits and pieces" of remembered conversations with my parents, brother, or sisters. The Wildermuth family of father, mother, William (Bill) age three, Elizabeth (Betty) age one, mother's mother and step-father, Mr. and Mrs. Gottleib Bast had come from Lichtental, Bessarabia, Russia (father's home town) in 1894. They lived in a sod house built near the northwest corner of the family homestead quarter (160 acres) which is about four miles southwest of Linton, North Dakota. It was situated on a site from which it would be possible to see any approaching prairie fire – the scourge of early settlers. Enclosure (1) shows the farmyard as finally seen from the south in about 1916 or 1917.
The John J. Wolf family (also from Lichtental, Bessarabia) came over at the same time as our parents and homesteaded the quarter-section directly north of our land. The Wolf family stayed only until 1901 or 1902, then moved to Virginia. In 1905, our parents bought the land and our grandparents moved into the sod house on that land. After a few years in Virginia, Mr. Wolf passed away but mother continued correspondence with Mrs. Wolf until she passed away, then with the Wolf's daughter. However, we have no further information about her.
The Christian Fischer family (mother's sister, Elizabeth) came from Russia in 1903. They stayed with our parents and grandparents until spring then homesteaded near Elgin, North Dakota. In 1905, mother's brother and family, the Johannes Zachers, also came and stayed with the grandparents in the former Wolf home. Some of the children possibly stayed with our family, wherever there was sleeping room. Frieda, now Mrs. Dave Krause, was born in the former Wolf farm home.
The Zachers stayed until 1907 when they also went to Elgin, homesteading about 16 miles south of Elgin. The two oldest Zacher sons, John and Christ, stayed in Linton having obtained work in local business establishments. John stayed in Linton about four or five years after his parents left. I was told that he worked at a grain-buying business and also at the Linton Bazaar, owned by our parent's friends, the Backhaus family. A friend found a newspaper item in the Emmons County Record that Christ and our brother Bill went to Montana in 1913 to homestead some land there.
I still remember the ruins of the old Wolf sod-house which Malvina, Katie and I visited in our wanderings around the farm pasture. Our wanderings were not entirely haphazard, these were in search of the delicious, tasty cactus berries found on the land. These cactus plants were a small mound of green berries with spiny thorns on the top of each berry. However, in the spring, one or several berries would flower where the spine had been and this ripened into a sweet berry in the fall. The dried flower made a convenient stem to pull the berry from among the remaining green berries left in the cactus plant. Unfortunately, almost all of these plants became victims of the drought of the 1930's. In my searching the local prairie land after World War II, I found only one surviving plant on what had been our farm, although there could have been more. If any remained, these, very likely, could have also dried out in the latest five years of 1988-1992!
The first fields on the homestead had to be plowed by a hand-held, one-share, sod-breaking plow pulled by a three or four horse team. The ground was possibly disked, then seeded to flax, while an additional plot (called Bashtaan) was planted to potatoes and a variety of necessary vegetables.
I do not know who helped with the field work in the first years. It is likely that father, mother and grandparents all had to "dig-in". I have no knowledge of the amount of land cultivated in the first years, or the number of horses, cows, hogs, chickens, or sheep had been accumulated.
I know that our parents raised some sheep in the first years (before my entry on the scene). In later years, mother used some of the saved wool in making patchwork comforters. Grandmother had a spinning wheel which was also used in the earlier years to make yarn from the wool which was then used to knit necessary articles of clothing.
Again, I have no knowledge of when different items of farm machinery were bought. I only know that we had practically all needed articles by the time I was old enough to remember. My memory does not cover much of the spring work (plowing and seeding) as I was in school when this work was done. I am more familiar with the harvesting as I was involved with it in later years. I'm sure that in the first years, harvesting was done by the use of a scythe (Encl. 2).
The first harvesting machine had been invented and demonstrated in 1831 by Cyrus McCormick (Encl. 2). Later came the binder which automatically tied the grain stalks into bundles and dropped them off to the side (Encl. 3). However, a binder could not tie the short stalks of grain which were the norm in dry years, so the header was the practical solution (Encl. 4). This ingenious machine was pushed from the rear by four or six horses with the header operator on the platform above the steering wheel behind the horses. The grain stalks were cut by a sickle-bar cutting-device still in use on today's harvesting machines. The stalks were dropped on a moving canvas sheet which brought them to the side where they were picked up and elevated to the "header-box" by two canvas sheets operating within an elevator (Encl. 5).
When the header box was filled, it was brought to a cleared area and pitched on the ground to start a stack which had to be set by an experienced "setter". If this is not clear, maybe someday, you will be able to visit an old time harvesting and threshing fiesta in my old home area in Emmons County, North Dakota. The bottom picture of enclosure five shows a stack in the making, lower-left, and a stack already finished off, upper right. These pictures were copied from a book, "Wheat Farming" showing the equipment on some large grain farms in Washington State. These are not too clear but were the best I have been able to locate at this date.
I don't know who helped with the harvesting on our farm during the early years. I suppose that Bill, Betty, Johnny and Bertha all helped. Bill left in 1913 to homestead in Montana, but was back after a year because of illness, which was diagnosed as diabetes. He died in 1915, at the age of 24 as there were no cures – no insulin available at that time. I know that father ran (operated) the header in later years, Johnny and Bertha pitched box while Betty set the stacks. I'm not sure who drove the horses pulling the header box (called "drove the header box") but I think we had only one box in the early years and Bertha had that job. In those years, mother stayed home, did the cooking and supervising Malvina and Katie in doing all the home-place chores: milking, feeding the calves and hogs as well as helping in the kitchen. Otherwise, mother had to keep me busy, one job might have been to gather eggs from the hen-house, also, I was allowed to go to the field with the harvesting. I have a faint memory of watching the mechanisms of the header from the header box – this was before I was allowed to "drive" the header box.
The grain was threshed later in the fall when a threshing machine owner went through the neighborhood with his machine and crew. It is important to know that the earlier threshing machines were run by horse-power mechanism (Encl. 6) before it was displaced by the steam-powered and later the gasoline-powered tractor (Encl. 7 & 8). The horse power machines were used before my time, but father bought one which he used to run his feed grinder, later the grinder was also powered by a small gasoline engine.
Our family lived in the sod house until sometime after Katie was born (I was the first to be born in the new house). The new house was built of home-made sun-dried clay-and-straw blocks, with walls 18 to 20 inches thick. This provided space in the window area which was used for flower plants in the parlor.
A cellar beneath the house (with outside entrance) provided storage for winter supplies: potatoes, vegetables, dill pickles, a barrel of pickled watermelons, a big crock of sauerkraut, canned vegetables and fruit; as well as home-made jelly (currant, gooseberry, buffalo berry, juneberry and the best of all, chokecherry). Another item found in the cellar before prohibition, was wine and beer. Wine was home-made, but no more that I can remember and beer only one summer. I had a taste of that whenever Dad had his daily afternoon break.
The house was improved with wood siding and rock foundation covered with concrete. The inside walls were plastered and wall-papered. The thick walls provided good insulation against the heat of summer and the cold of winter much better than the cheaper, modern-status-symbol, frame houses which became the vogue in later years. After moving to town, mother missed her adobe house and often complained about the house in town: cold in the winter and unbearably hot in the summer. Although we had a furnace with hot air piped to each room upstairs, there was no such a luxury as air-conditioning for summer.
I wish to also tell you a little about making hay for feeding the cattle and the horses during the winter. Originally, the grass grew high on the prairie in many areas. For feeding our stock, we depended entirely on prairie grass; no clover, alfalfa, or millet. The grass was usually cut in late summer, before grain harvest began, using a mowing machine with a sickle, similar to the ones on grain harvesting machines, but only about four or five feet in length. The cut grass dropped behind the sickle and was then raked into rows (called windrows) with a dump-rack wagon and hauled home and stacked near the barn. Later it could be transferred to the hay-mow (second story of a barn) from which it was dropped to the feeding rack below as needed by the livestock.
However, we had a hay-stacker which was used to make stacks out in the field where the hay was left until needed during the cold of winter. Instead of hauling hay home from the piles in the field, a special rake (called a bull-rake) was used to gather the hay from the windrows, brought to the stacker which threw the hay on a pile to one side. (By the way, this work was all done by the use of horses) Here the stack-setter, Betty or Bertha, would start the stack. Another load, another, and another was brought in until the stack was considered high enough, then finished off by rounding off the top so it could shed rain. Then another stack would be started and finished in an area closer to another supply of hay until all the haying was finished for the year.
Johnny was drafted into the Army in July 1918. It was decided that we would move to town after harvesting and threshing as the winter and, following, spring work would be too difficult for Dad, Betty and Bertha to handle (I was ten years old at the time). Labor was scarce and expensive so that year father helped out a neighbor who had no header. The neighbor pitched one box and Bertha pitched the other, Betty set stack, Dad drove the header and I drove the horses pulling the header box. We had to move the header several miles to cut the neighbor's grain, then back home to cut the rest of our crop which was excellent that year.
During the war, available steel was very poor and one gear on the header wore out twice. One time Dad had to go to town from the field (with horses) to get another one (luckily these were available). While he was gone Betty, Bertha and I awaited his return in the field and Betty took a snap-shop of Bertha and I posed on the header. This picture together with one of mother holding two newly picked watermelons are shown as enclosure 9. These pictures also appeared in a Picture Book published by former residents of Dad's home-town, Lichtental, now living in Germany since 1940.
After Johnny came home from the Army in June 1919, he worked in town for several months, then he worked for Mr. Herb Ketchum on the MacNider Ranch which was situated on the Missouri River some 16 miles west of Linton. In the fall of 1921, Johnny married Emilie Weishaar and they rented the MacNider Ranch for several years. I worked for them during school vacation in the summer.
Here, I learned to handle horses, mow hay, rake it, and bring it to the stacker with the bull rake. I also learned to ride a horse – a riding pony belonging to Mr. MacNider (a neighbor in town). Although 20 years old, the pony had been out to pasture for several years and was still full of vim, vigor, and vinegar! On Sundays, I would go to the neighboring Schlangen Ranch to visit Jim Schlangen, who had his own pony. We would roam around the country visiting friends he knew although there were none our age. I also used the pony for useful work such as getting the milk cows in from the pasture in the evening at milking time.
The MacNider Ranch was largely a cattle-raising operation which required a large amount of hay for winter feeding. The hay field was meadow-land near the river. It encompassed about 100 acres, almost entirely in white clover. It grew to a height of about 30 inches and was cut only once a year. I remember that Johnny, Emilie and I put up about 29 stacks of hay in about a month's time. There was also a prarie-hay field close to the ranch house which provided several stacks of hay. One day while working in this field, I was startled by a very unnerving noise in some tall grass which I thought may be a rattlesnake. These were known to abound in the Missouri River region. I called Johnny to investigate. It turned out to be a harmless (to humans) bull-snake. These are actually a deadly enemy of rattlesnakes but it sure made a warning noise which sounded dangerous to me.
In 1923, Johnny's wife, Emilie, died of pneumonia at her mother's home in Linton a few days after daughter Emily was born (no antibiotics in those days). Betty came home from California to take care of Emily at our parents home and sister Katie helped Johnny on the ranch – I was going to school at the time. In the fall, with Katie still helping, Johnny moved to the family farm near Linton and I helped with the fall plowing before school started. I do not have a definite date when Johnny and his second wife, Lydia Bauer, were married but my memory tells me that they bought a 1923 Model-T Ford, so their marriage must have been in late 1923 or early 1924.
I worked for them at various times during the fall years and it was during this time that I learned to drive their car. Learning to drive a no-gear-shift Ford was easier than learning to drive any other car at that time.
Johnny and Lydia made beer and wine during those years. Their tasty beer was aged the entire summer and did not shoot out of the bottle when opened, like the "green" beer made by "fast-buck" bootleggers during prohibition years. They also made two varieties of excellent wine; one from Muscat, the other from Concord grapes – Muscatel and Port wine. An interesting sidelight, when I worked at the Backhaus farm in later years, they made a good wine from their Rhubarb plants. While working in the field, wetting a dry, dusty throat with a swig of tasty beer at lunch time and a small glass of superb wine before supper made farm work much more acceptable!
I learned to run (operate) a header in the 1920's when I worked on the farm with Johnny and Dad. Later, I did this work at the Herman Backhaus farm about 15 miles west of Linton. He was a large grain farmer with over 1,000 acres in wheat, oats and barley. Harvesting took about a month, six days a week, from early morning until dark; getting up at about 4:30-5:00am and often not getting to bed until 11:00pm. Running a header was easier than pitching box or setting stack, so running the header was my job. However, when one of the pitchers wasn't feeling too well, he would get to run the header and I pitched box – this happened only once or twice in those years.
So, there you have my Saga of LIFE ON THE FARM!
And so, to the other side of the coin – or, better said, to the other side of the table. Lydia's (Lee's) parents, Johann and Luisa Haller, came to Eureka, South Dakota in May 1911 from Sofiental, Odessa Province, Russia. This was a bit late to get any Homestead Land in the Dakotas. First, they worked for friends then rented farms wherever available in the Dakotas. Lee was born on a farm several miles east of Eureka, South Dakota and grew up on various farms in North Dakota.
Being caught up in the euphoria of a good crop and high "war-time" grain prices, in 1918, Mr. Haller bought a farm about four miles west of Ashley, North Dakota when Lee was about five years old. Except for a few months doing domestic work in a private home in Bismarck, she spent the years on the farm until we were married. On this farm, she had the experience of learning all about the hard work associated with diversified-production farming: housekeeping, cooking, field work, and many, many chores necessary on a farm in the Dakotas – chores, I never had to contend with or wrote about in the first four pages of this short report.
No doubt, some of her first chores were washing dishes and clothes, feeding the chickens and whatever a child of 5-10 years can do. One of her first required field duties was picking up rocks to clear the fields for better cultivation of the land. She remembers driving the horses of the header-box at harvest-time when she could barely see over the front of the box to properly guide the horses.
Later, this progressed to more difficult work, plowing with a five-horse, two-share plow (see Encl. 10). Then came walking behind a horse-drawn harrow (also shown on Encl. 10). She thinks this was the most fatiguing chore, requiring mile after mile of crossing and returning over the field – especially filthy with a breeze blowing the dust directly into her face. Harrowing was done to conserve moisture in the soil and break up the soil to make it easier for grain to spout and grow. She did have a bit of sport in competing with a neighboring young man to see who could get back to the common field boundary line first.
At harvest time came the more difficult work of pitching box, loading from the header, then pitching the box contents onto a stack being set by her mother. Brother Johnny pitched the other box while her father drove the header horses. Some years they also had a hired man who pitched box and relieved Lee for necessary home chores.
Naturally, not all life on the farm was drudgery, there were compensations for all the hard work. Lee remembers herding their cattle on some rented pasture land. She did this on horseback which made it more agreeable. Except for attending church, Sundays were free and she often went (again on horseback) to see neighboring cousins. The neighbors had several girls and these visits were always a pleasant respite from the weekdays' endless chores.
Also, Hoskins Lake was within walking distance where her Dad taught her the joys of fishing. One day while with him at the lake, she was standing on a rock, looking out over the water. The sight of the shimmering water made her lose her balance and she fell into the deep water at her feet. When her Dad looked around, she was not in sight, but when she came up, he was able to grab her and pull her out over the water, sputtering and gasping for breath. Her Dad held her upside-down to drain any water from her lungs. However, he had her examined by the doctor who pronounced her fit!
Brother Oscar was born when she was not quite 12 years old. This added to her necessary chores and responsibility. Taking care of him during his growing-up years was, very likely, as difficult as harrowing fields had been. (Just joking, Oscar!)
It was interesting to note that neither of the three children were
enthusiastic about remaining on the farm and, in spite of no formal
education beyond eighth grade, each became successful in their chosen
field – Johnny and wife Adeline became successful retail business
owners and Oscar became an expert in several technical fields: (automotive,
automatic washer and dryer machines, but most important, his expertise
in radio and television repair.) As for Lee, I can attest to the
fact that she made a most successful homemaker and wife as most
of you already know!
Encl. 1.
Encl. 2A - From sickle to scythe. A man was able to step up his harvest pace a bit once the scythe came into use. The attached cradle caught the cut grain. After several strokes, the cradle would be sufficiently full of wheat to be dumped. This was done by merely bringing the implement back and up to let the wheat slide from the cradle to a neat pile on the ground. Following along in the cutting paths were men who bound the bunches of grain into sheaves. They tied the sheaves or bundles with stalks of wheat. Using a scythe and cradle a man could cut about two acres a day.
Encl. 2B - Historic event. The first public trial of the revolutionary reaper took place in July 1831. The historic field was near Steel's Tavern, close to Walnut Grove. Doubtful neighbors were watching as the machine cut its first swath. While young McCormick walked behind his machine, a negro servant named Jo Anderson raked the platform clear of the cut grain.
Encl.3 - The binder bundles. This was a typical binding scene on farms west of the Cascades. Many binders were equipped with a carrier so they could hold bundles and drop them five or six at a time. The machine pictured didn't have this advantage though and dropped each bundle as it was tied. It was a smaller binder and was pulled by three horses instead of four.
Encl.4 -
Champion: Header Facts
The Champion Headers bristle with valuable features that have made them first choice of progressive farmers in every grain-growing country in the world where headers are used.
The driving mechanism gives light draft; lasts for years without "getting out of fix" and produces smooth, steady action.
All parts of the cutting apparatus are well supplied with oiling facilities. The cutting bar, gears, clips, knife-head and connectors are made of the best materials to be had for the purpose.
The pitman has practically a horizontal thrust preventing pounding of the knife head.
The main wheel is fitted with special side-hill lugs, in addition to the regular lugs.
There isn't room here to tell you all the good points of these machines. Call on the Champion dealer and see for yourself.
B. F. Avery & Sons
Encl.5A - Group shot. Three headers and six header-boxes represent a fairly large unit. It was big enough that the wheat was probably being fed from the wagons directly into a threshing machine rather than being stacked first and then separated. The shape of the header-wagons or boxes was unique but functional. With one side lower, the header-box driver could move his wagon in under the header spout as the two conveyances moved through the field. The headed wheat cascaded from the spout into the wagon where it was leveled by a man equipped with a pitchfork.

The headed wheat cascaded from the spout into the wagon where it was leveled by a man equipped with a pitchfork.
Encl.6A - Wood engraving of sweep power. Horses were the sole source of power on the farm prior to steam and gas engines. One of the ingenious devices developed to transfer power from the horse to the threshing machine, baler, grist mill or whatever, was called a sweep power. A booklet of wood engravings published by the J.I. Case Co. in 1942 featured several representations of sweep powers. This unique art from a past age depicts 12 horses as they walked around in a seemingly endless circle. The man atop the sweep rotated along with the horses. Going out of the picture to the left was a tumbling rod. This rod was attached to the machine being powered. Each time the horses made a circle they had to step over the rod.
Encl.6B - A Case built Woodbury 4-wheel power fitted with 5 sweeps for 10 horses. (Also available with 6 sweeps for 12 horses.) This machine had reversible gears to add to its length of service, and a hand break for quick stopping.
Encl.7A - Straw-burner. Steam engines were commonly fed wood in the west. Coal did the job in the midwest and east. The friendly giant, however, performed on a steady diet of straw. Obviously, therefore, it was called a straw-burner. The straw was pitched into a funnel-like opening in the firebox all the time. It wasn't hard work but according to steam enthusiast Jeff Richardson, it didn't leave much time to wipe your nose. This harvest scene took place near Lacrosse, Washington.
Encl.7B - Horses and stream. The George E. Wood threshing outfit takes a short breather from the hard work of the day during a harvest of about 1900. The frilly-topped engine was a Minneapolis.
Encl.8A - Popularity of Case. The Case Co. sold more steam engines than any other manufacturer. This was an 11 x 11 inch cylinder, simple 25 HP traction engine taken from a page of the 1906 catalog. An engine that could move itself about was called a traction engine.
Encl.8B - Case tries gas. The first Case gas tractor was built in 1892.

Item: A signed copy of the poetry book 'Gil Scott Heron is on Parole'
Book Information: "Opening the book is like turning on the radio to something quite funky. It sets you moving in its own time. The translation of rhythms from music into print; that's the achievement, impressive, as the many who write poetry will know, the significance, of Clarke's collection. Turn to any title. You'll find its movement gets into your own, into your foot against the chair leg, your fingers on the keypad. It gives you an idea of the strength to be found in Clarke's live performances…Even not carrying the revolution under its arm, her book should certainly make the streets." -Greg Westenberg, Crikey.
Brief Bio: Maxine Beneba Clarke is a West Indian-Australian writer & poetry slam champion. Her essays, fiction & short stories have been broadcast & published nationally, including in Voiceworks, the Age, the Big Issue, Overland, Kunapipi, Peril & Going Down Swinging, on 3CR radio's Spoken Word and Hip Sista Hop and on RRR radio's Aural Text and Max Headroom.

Drawing upon her rich experience of life, Prudence (Prudie to her friends) responds to questions about manners, personal relations, politics, and other subjects. Please send your questions for publication to email@example.com. Queries should not exceed 200 words in length. Please indicate how you wish your letter to be signed, preferably including your location.
Dear Prudence,
As 1998 has drawn to a close, I have found myself in evaluation mode and have felt ever increasingly blue and bluer.
Though I do long for a permanent relationship, I also have not been gathering moss till the right one comes along. The result is I have several ongoing, fairly long-term relationships that are basically sex and nothing more. All these gents are unavailable for reasons of geography, marital status, and/or neuroses. The problem is, even though there is no pressure for me to make any of these relationships permanent, none of these guys treats me very well. I'm not talking trinkets here, either. I just don't feel warm and fuzzy--more like cheap and tawdry!
Is a big housecleaning the answer?
--Confused in the Big City
Dear Con,
YES!! A big housecleaning is the answer. And Prudie knows you will succeed because you are so cleareyed about what's wrong. It is not everyone who can be her own Greek chorus.
Turn your blue to white: Become a born-again virgin. Get your self-respect back. Only truck with men you decide are worthwhile. It will be a new beginning. How insightful you are to use the word "unavailable." And how wise to want to bag relationships in which the other person is far away, married, or a filbert. The time has definitely come to say to all these chaps: Adios, yo-yo. (Translation: Farewell ... you're on your own.)
Do begin again, and Prudie predicts 1999 will be your year. Let us all know how things develop.
--Prudie, resolutely
Dear Prudie,
Growing up, I was taught that a gentleman precedes a lady when entering a public place (e.g., a restaurant), as a sort of vanguard, and follows her upon exiting. Is this behavior still appropriate and/or useful?
Please reply to
--Anonymous, via Internet. Thank you.
Dear Anon,
Your training is still appropriate. Good manners never go out of style. If Prudie could channel Emily Post, however, she might suggest that you also precede the lady upon leaving an establishment, if only to push or hold the door open.
--Prudie, precedently
Dear Prudence,
What is with all these people who take offense at social pleasantries? And why are you encouraging them? Salutations such as "How are you?" and "Have a nice day" are obviously free of malicious intent and have virtually no semantic content, thus providing no basis for umbrage. Such pleasantries are clearly intended to be both polite and friendly, and responding to proffered congeniality with disdain, reproof, or sarcasm is nothing short of boorish. Rudeness needs dissuasion rather than promotion, as there is already rather enough to go around.
Have a nice day (a sincere wish, expressing my hope that the reproving tone of my missive will not tarnish your humor).
--John Douceur, Bellevue, Wash.
Dear John,
Prudie is not anti-semantic. Au contraire, she is so devoted to language, as it appears are you, that it pains her to hear empty phrases bruited about. However, your point is taken that well-meaning pleasantries should be accepted for what they are, and Prudie's New Year's resolution is to chill when it comes to banalities. How's that?
--Prudie, resolutely
Dear Prudie,
As for "Have a nice day," it has the same ring of sincerity as the robot-voiced "Your call is important to us, please continue to hold."
Approaching an acquaintance I haven't seen in a while I often say, "Nice to see you" (which is true). The reply, "Nice to see you, too," can be completed quickly, sparing each of us the awkward head-swiveling to which "How are you?" "Fine ... how are you?" often leads.
--Calculating in California
Dear Cal,
Do you know what Prudie is thinking? Prudie is thinking your idea is stellar. Let's both make an effort to say this in '99 and see if we can make any headway with the "Have-a-nice-day" and "How-are-you?" crowd.
--Prudie, hopefully

Philip, byname Philip the Magnanimous, German Philipp der Grossmütige, (born November 13, 1504, Marburg, Hesse [Germany]—died March 31, 1567, Kassel), landgrave (Landgraf) of Hesse (1509–67), one of the great figures of German Protestantism, who championed the independence of German princes against the Holy Roman emperor Charles V.
Early years
Philip was the son of Landgrave William II, an austere cultivated man and an experienced soldier. He died when Philip was barely five years old. Philip's mother, Duchess Anna of Mecklenburg, was a passionate, energetic, and ambitious woman. Her relations with her son, however, were cool and were impaired by her second marriage in 1519 and by Philip's conversion to the doctrines of Martin Luther. As a victim of political forces, he spent a gloomy youth, attaching himself increasingly to his older sister Elizabeth, later duchess of Saxony; throughout his life no one was closer to him than she.
In March 1518 the emperor Maximilian I declared Philip to be of age. While assuming the government in name, he retained his parents' capable counselors, mostly lawyers by training, who imbued the young man with his parents' single-minded devotion to the welfare of the state. Philip eventually developed into a self-reliant politician. From his youth, he characteristically thought in terms of the territorial state, an attitude that was to determine his future relations with the Habsburg emperors. He ruled his territory in the spirit of an early enlightened despotism.
The landgraviate of Hesse had suffered greatly during his mother's regency, but Philip succeeded in bringing order to the confused administration of the state and, through skillful management of alliances, in freeing Hesse from its isolation in foreign affairs. In 1523 Philip, fighting alongside the powerful electors of the Palatinate and of Trier, defeated the rebellious imperial knight Franz von Sickingen. This victory also crushed the remaining opposition of the Hessian nobility and undoubtedly strengthened the young man's self-confidence.
Two years later, in fact, he scored his first personal triumph when he suppressed the peasant revolt in the neighbouring imperial abbeys of Fulda and Hersfeld. He then advanced into Thuringia and, allied with the elector of Saxony and the dukes of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and Saxony, defeated Thomas Müntzer, a popular preacher from Mühlhausen/Thüringen, at a battle near Frankenhausen in May 1525. By this victory Philip saved the central German principalities from destruction.
Conversion to Protestantism
During these years, while the first storm of the Reformation was sweeping through Germany, Luther's teachings gained a firm hold in many Hessian localities and at the landgrave's court. It was not until the summer of 1524, however, after making a detailed study of the Bible, the writings of the Church Fathers, and the history of the church, that Philip himself joined Luther. At the same time, orthodox Roman Catholic princes of southern Germany were uniting to make common cause against the ecclesiastical innovations. After the defeat of the peasants this alliance was aimed to bring down the middle and northern German princes as well, in order "to eradicate the damned Lutheran sect, the source of this revolt."
Philip was deeply convinced that the religious question was at the same time a political one, and he was the first to recognize that freedom for the new faith would be secured only if Protestant sovereigns and towns united for defense. In May 1526 he won over the elector John of Saxony for a defensive alliance, which other northern and eastern German princes then joined. Henceforward, he strove to unite the Protestant estates into a powerful alliance, which would render them unassailable and thus allow them to build their state churches.
Only when the decree of August 1526 of the imperial Diet of Speyer seemed to provide a legal basis for it and when a Hessian "synod" (part church council, part provincial diet) at Homberg had publicly discussed the religious question did Philip carry through the Reformation in his state. The Homberg deliberations led to the Reformatio ecclesiarum Hassiae, unique for its democratic-presbyterian church constitution and the ecclesiastical discipline of the congregations. On Luther's advice, this reform, conceived by the former Franciscan Franz Lambert, was not carried out. Instead, Hesse became Protestant on the model provided by the electorate of Saxony.
Philip, however, continued to favour the teachings of the southern German and Swiss reformers and consequently resolved to mediate between the Lutherans and the Zwinglians, adherents of the Swiss reformer Huldrych Zwingli. Within one year, 1527, Philip secularized all the monasteries. The new state-church organization was now methodically built up. In order to ensure a new generation of clergy and officials, the landgrave took the educational system in hand and founded the first Protestant university in 1527 at Marburg. On former monastic and church estates, he set up four hospitals for the insane, the first "psychiatric" hospitals known to medical history. Church and school were subordinated to the "common good."
There arose the Protestant authoritarian state, which considered itself a taskmaster responsible for the religious and moral life of its subjects and dictated their beliefs. Like all his fellow princes, Philip was intolerant, but, in contrast to most, he respected the individual's freedom of conscience by permitting dissenters to emigrate. He soon showed this attitude in his dealings with the Anabaptists: his purpose was not to punish them as the imperial laws dictated but to convert them by clemency and instruction in doctrine; in this work Martin Bucer, the reformer from Strasbourg, was his helper. They introduced into Hesse in 1539 the rite of confirmation, which became a model for Protestant churches.
Leadership of the Protestant states
His agile and fertile mind, infectious energy, and fearlessness rapidly made Philip the leader of the Protestant estates. He continued to strive for a great Protestant alliance, for he clearly recognized that the situation of the Protestants would deteriorate if the Roman Catholic emperor Charles V were to triumph in the struggle for European predominance. The way to change and reform began in 1529, when the second imperial Diet of Speyer repealed the first imperial Diet's decree of 1526. A group of princes and towns led by Philip protested (hence Protestants) against the repeal on the epoch-making grounds that in questions of faith each imperial estate would have to justify itself before God alone.
Moreover, the landgrave saw with growing apprehension that doctrinal differences between Protestants endangered the development of an all-embracing Protestant defensive alliance. His attempt at the Colloquy of Marburg, in October 1529, to bring about a theological settlement in personal discussion with the reformers, headed by Luther and Zwingli, essentially failed over the question of the Eucharist. Thus, the ambitious plans he shared with Zwingli for a European alliance against the Roman Catholic house of Habsburg remained only a dream.
Despite everything, Philip managed in 1531 to unite 6 princes and 10 towns in the Schmalkaldic League, which was to serve as a defensive alliance. Although it had serious organizational shortcomings, the league gradually became the centre of Protestant politics. At the same time, it became a rallying point for the enemies of the house of Habsburg as well as for those Roman Catholic princes who were fearful for their independence. The league, of which the landgrave was the driving spirit, became, moreover, a factor in European politics. Philip reached the peak of his career in 1534, when he executed a campaign to restore Duke Ulrich of Württemberg, who had been driven from his state by the Habsburgs. As a result of his success, Württemberg was opened up to the Reformation, and Austria's power in southern Germany was broken.
It was Philip's tragedy that he destroyed his own leading position a few years later by his extremely provocative marital transactions. In addition to his marriage to the duchess Christina of Saxony in 1523, he contracted a second marriage with Margarete von der Saale, a maid of honour of his sister Elizabeth. As a bigamist, he fell under the judgment of the Holy Roman emperor, with whom he now tried to come to terms, but, while Philip and the Schmalkaldic League remained inactive and the other Protestant princes indulged in petty disputes, the emperor Charles V prepared to settle the religious problem once and for all by force of arms. In the summer of 1546 he attacked. The league's unwieldy organization, long deplored by Philip, now took its toll. Mistakes of leadership, lack of finance, and ultimately the attack by the Protestant duke Maurice of Saxony on the territory of his cousin the elector John Frederick of Saxony hastened the collapse.
After the capture of the elector, Philip submitted himself to the mercy of the emperor in June 1547. Deceived by Charles, he too was led away a prisoner. His long imprisonment in the Netherlands deeply affected his mental powers of resistance. In order to gain his freedom, he accepted the so-called Augsburg Interim, by which the emperor attempted to restore the unity of the Catholic faith without interference from the princes. Philip, however, failed in his attempt to gain his freedom, for the Hessian population resisted conversion to Catholicism. Only after his son-in-law, Maurice of Saxony, and Philip's eldest son, William, in alliance with other German princes and Henry II of France, unexpectedly rose against the emperor in March 1552 were he and John Frederick released.
Aged and ailing but also wiser, the landgrave returned to his homeland. After the victory over the emperor, the adherents of the Augsburg Confession—the official Lutheran doctrine—succeeded in gaining a position of legal equality with the Catholics in the empire, in accordance with the Peace of Augsburg of 1555. In this respect Philip, who was far ahead of his time, expressed genuine tolerance for all Christian denominations. He continued to pursue his old plans for a Protestant union and strove on behalf of his embattled co-religionists in France and the Netherlands, but in his later years he cautiously remained in the background of the political stage. He devoted all his strength to the rebuilding of his state, which had been ravaged by war and by its occupation by foreign troops. By the time of his death in 1567, his contemporaries were already referring to the warmhearted and generous sovereign as the Magnanimous.Walter Heinemeyer

Book Review: When "Karma" Stops Us From Deciding Our Destinies
by: Devadatta Kali (David Nelson) on March 2nd, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati is the spiritual head of Kashi Ashram, an interfaith community she founded in Florida in 1976. Her spiritual teaching derive from universal principles underlying the world's great religious traditions. Along with the typically Hindu emphasis on meditation, self-knowledge, and seeing beyond appearances into the heart of reality, there is the Buddhist emphasis on putting compassion into action, on doing something to relieve suffering wherever it is found. At the same time, owing to her own heritage, Ma's outlook is also Jewish to the core with an ardent emphasis on social justice. Ma Jaya is more than a spiritual teacher or guru. She and her service organizations have been active for several decades in calling attention to the plight of various groups and addressing their needs – among them the homeless population, low-income seniors, Ugandan orphans, the LGBT community, and people living with HIV/AIDS.
The Sanskrit word karma means "action" or "deed," so it is not surprising that it should be the subject of Ma Jaya's book, The Eleven Karmic Spaces: Choosing Freedom From the Patterns That Bind You (Kashi Publishing, 2011).
Karma fits in both with the ideal of social justice and with inner development. The author approaches every aspect of her topic with deep insight and immense practicality. In the opening pages she tackles the question, What is karma? Is it a system of reward and punishment? Is it paying for what you've done? Does it give the satisfaction of seeing others pay for what they've done? Is it fate or destiny? She makes quick work of all those popular notions and then points out the futility of speculating over "why this?" or "why that?"
With that out of the way, she turns to the substance of the book, already given in the subtitle: "choosing freedom from the patterns that bind you." What follows is a penetrating analysis of human nature, human behavior, and human interactions.
So what is karma? At any given moment every person is the sum total of all previous attitudes, actions, and interactions. If karma is some sort of fate or destiny, it is one that we ourselves have created. Undoubtedly we find ourselves living with the results of our previous actions, but at the same time, at every moment, we have the power to change our behavior and to forge a new destiny for the future. Why don't we exercise that power?
The author explains with her own metaphor of the "eleven karmic spaces." She likens these to the mail slots behind the desk in an old-fashioned hotel – narrow, enclosed, somehow inviting, maybe even comforting. We fail to recognize them as traps. Through our self-created attitudes and patterns of behavior, we box ourselves in. As with those mail slots (also called "cubbyholes"), the only way out is the way we got in. The book is filled with examples from real life, provided by the author and her students.
Each of the eleven karmic spaces has it own chapter, which explores the nature, workings, and consequences of jealousy, anger, pride, indifference, the ego of self-thought and self-indulgence, lack of awareness, intent, worldly desires, abuse of power, the desire to be right, and attachment. To understand them is to have power over them. Beyond these self-imposed limitations lies freedom.
On one level this is a book about how to set things right in your life, how to have happiness and fulfillment in this world. The guidance works, but why stop there? Beneath the apparent practicality, layer upon layer of deeper wisdom will reveal itself to the thoughtful reader. There may be a temptation to read quickly, and the simplicity of style certainly makes that possible. But this is a book to be read and reread, slowly and attentively, and then lived. The goal is not just a better life – that is only the first step – but true self-knowledge. Particularly through selfless service to others, the practitioner of karma yoga will learn to shed the small, ego-based self and recognize a higher, divine identity; call it Self, God, Brahman, Christ-Consciousness, Ein Sof, or Ultimate Reality. Whatever you call it, if that infinite Oneness is the ultimate simplicity, then the closer one gets, the simpler everything becomes. That is the sort of simplicity that the thoughtful reader will find in this book. In Ma's own words, it is "an instruction manual to help you find your soul." And what does that mean? Certainly not an escape from this world, but a complete integration of the inner and the outer life.
Devadatta Kali (David Nelson) joined the Vedanta Society of Southern California in 1967 and spent several years in their monastic community. He has lectured at several interfaith gatherings, including the Parliament of the World's Religions. His books include The Veiling Brilliance: A Journey to the Goddess; In Praise of the Goddess: The Devimahatmya and Its Meaning; and Svetasvataropanisad: The Knowledge That Liberates.

Very few whisky enthusiasts in Japan will be familiar with the NEAT glass, but that will hopefully change very soon. It doesn't happen so often that something completely revolutionizes the tasting experience of whisky, but the NEAT glass does exactly that.
NEAT stands for "Naturally Engineered Aroma Technology" - it's designed and made in the US, marketed by Arsilica Inc., and is quickly attracting followers all over the world. Those of us used to Glencairn or copita glasses will find the NEAT glass a completely different experience. As the acronym indicates, it was engineered to separate the ethanol and remove the punch of the alcohol to focus on the defining aromas of the whisky. It also offers a completely different experience for the palate. The wide rim has a kind of waterfall effect, spilling the liquid evenly over the tongue (and lips, as well!), which is very different from the usual channeling to the centre of the tongue that you get with Glencairn or copita glasses. This takes some getting used to - it kind of transports you back to your days as a toddler when you first started drinking from a cup - but it opens up a whole new dimension for the palate.

I am selling my Kirk Lynch half set in D. This is a lovely instrument that I purchased from another piper in 2010 (I believe they were made in 2009). The chanter is ebony with key blocks (no keys) and a brass reed cap. Mainstock is cherry. Also including an extra chanter reed made by Kirk last fall. They have been played (albeit poorly) and cared for in a smoke free house.
Reason for selling is two-fold. I'm primarily a harpist and just didn't devote enough time to this instrument. Also, I am moving to Ireland and will be living in an apartment which does not allow me a proper practice space.
I am asking $2750. This includes a hard case and shipping within the continental US.

During my years in France (ahhhh, but a thought away) I have attended many cooking classes, hands-on and demo's! My first Cordon Bleu was a Saturday morning hands-on class. It was lots of fun, my two buddies AA and Barb were loads of laughs, but the dough was already made for us. We were just shaping and baking. A 'taste' into the world of baking, really! I knew I wanted MORE! A 5-day intensive class came a few years later and this recipe is from that exciting class! I also did a last minute, before my move class at Le Notre which was a delight!
The 'old man' hooked up the 220v outlet for me and I am in business with all my Euro gadgets! This yummy looking dough is full of butter and will rest/ferment in the fridge for a few days if you'd like. This dough rose beautifully in the fridge and easy to pull out and shape up for Easter Breakfast & days beyond.

McKinney takes handoff from Goodell
This probably wasn't what Connecticut had in mind as far as reparations for losing out in 1999 on its bid to host the Patriots.
National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell recently gave $100 to gubernatorial campaign of state Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, giving arguably the most powerful man in professional sports a rooting interest in the 2014 race.
Did we mention that Goodell doesn't even live in Connecticut? He resides in Bronxville, N.Y.
At least five league executives contributed to the Republican from Fairfield, Hearst Connecticut Newspapers in a review of McKinney's fundraising report for the third quarter. The only one listed with a Connecticut address is Kevin Flaherty, the chief financial officer and an executive vice president for the NFL.
The others were league spokesman Greg Aiello; Jennifer Langton, vice president of business ventures finance; and Michael Signora, vice president of football communications.
So what's the connection between McKinney, the son of the late Congressman Stewart McKinney, and the most lucrative sports league on the planet?
The answer is Paul Hicks III, the NFL's top lobbyist and spin doctor, who, before he was Goodell's wingman, was chief of staff for the elder McKinney.
Although his name hasn't shown up yet in McKinney's campaign finance report, which only listed contributions through Sept. 30, Hicks hosted an Oct. 4 fundraiser for the gubernatorial hopeful.
McKinney needs to muster $250,000 in small contributions to qualify for taxpayer funding for his campaign. As of Sept. 30, he raised $33,087, according to the state Elections Enforcement Commission. McKinney's campaign announced late last week that it is now more than $90,000 toward that goal when counting donations received after Sept. 30.
GOP tries to draft home invasion survivor for Congress
The long and arduous rebuilding process goes on for Dr. William Petit.
Six years after he was brutally beaten with a baseball bat by two ex-cons in a horrific home invasion in which his wife and two daughters were murdered, Petit is remarried.
He's going to be a father again this December.
And now the endocrinologist turned victims' rights advocate is the subject of a quiet recruiting effort by the state Republican Party, which multiple sources tell Hearst Connecticut Newspapers is trying to draft Petit to run for Congress in the 5th District.
"I have had a discussion with Dr. Petit," Jerry Labriola Jr., the state GOP chairman, told Hearst. "Beyond that, it's our policy to not comment on the substance of discussions with prospective candidates."
Messages seeking comment were left for Petit, who now resides near Hartford in Burlington.
The state GOP is zeroing in on the 5th District, represented by freshman Democrat Elizabeth Esty, heading into the midterm elections of 2014. The district stretches from Danbury to the Farmington River Valley and includes Litchfield County, Meriden and New Britain.
Looking for a candidate with a compelling narrative, Republicans previously tried to recruit Newtown First Selectman Pat Llodra to enter the race, but to no avail.

Uh, shouldnt it be Asajj and Maul in the Jedi Vs. Sith?Doy...Kevin
Too bad there isn't an OT 5-pack so we could get Cantina Han, Mechanic Chewie, Slave Leia, PotJ Ben, and CommTech Luke again too...
Yikes...this could be a good idea, if executed properly, but it of course doesn't look to be the case. It is nice to see some OT product coming this year, but they really chose poorly for the figures included in this set. That Luke figure is terrible, the Vader isn't anything great, and that Han is one of the worst we've seen for awhile too. I'd still really like to see a new, neutral, articulated Han Endor with Trenchcoat...but that is besides the point . Either way, the figure choices don't look real inspired for this set. If they have to use rehashes, at least use good ones.
Is that Obi-Wan in clone armor? Looks like it, those Anakin also LOOK nice, but we'll see what the execution is like

Atlanta Subway Television System
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Home Entertainment,
The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority is set to become the first North American subway system to integrate television and radio feeds into their transit system. Commuters will be able to check out looped news feeds from local affiliates along with three radio stations playing Top 40, R&B, and Jazz hits. Instead of piping the television audio through the on board sound system, riders will tune in to the television audio using an FM transmitter, similar to the radio feeds. MARTA plans to bring in $20 million based on their share of the advertising dollars over the next ten years.

BigBelly Solar Powered Trash Compactor
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Misc. Tech,
As a former resident of Staten Island (or Shaolin for those in the know), I can vouch for the fact that New York City has a lot of garbage. After all, what would you expect from a city that has as many people as New York does? In an effort to deal with at least part of the problem, BigBelly trash cans are now being tested in downtown Manhattan. What is unique about these receptacles is that they are solar powered, allowing them to sense when the garbage is getting full. At that point, an internal trash compacter squeezes the contents so that is takes up as little space as possible. Very cool. Now if only New Yorkers would actually put their trash into the sidewalk trash cans, rather than on the ground.

The Ear Vacuum Cleaner
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Misc. Tech,
If Q-Tips just haven't been your thing, it just might be time for you to import yet another of those wacky gadgets from Japan. This one is basically a vacuum cleaner for your ear. It claims to suck the debris out of the ear efficiently, and without doing any damage to any essential (or non-essential for that matter) parts while in there, and is fast enough that it won't tire out your hands - or as the translation says, "In the ear also being able to hurt, clear without either making the hand become tired the cleanliness!" Yeah!

No word yet if Nintendo plans to launch the next Mario game for its next generation gaming system, code named Revolution, or if it will grace the Gamecube instead.

GameSeek will be offering a keyboard attachment for the PSP that doubles as a screen protector. There's not much information or even a feature list on the website, but by the picture you can see it's a small fold-away keyboard. I don't know if I would want to use my PSP as a word processor per se, but this attachment would be handy when surfing the web or jotting down some quick notes. Get your hands on one on May 27th for £19.99.

NASA World Wind Satellite Mapping Program
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Software,
What you see above are images I took using the NASA World Wind mapping software. If you have never used it before, you have to check it out. It uses satellites to show you images of anywhere in the world - and it blows Google Keyhole out of the water. Using buttons in the menu, you can change the view to show actual imagery (see top image), or a traditional topo map (see bottom image). The two images above are actually different views of the same thing - that being The Museum of Natural History right next to Central Park. The screenshots were also taken using the software's built in capture feature. Click on the above images for more detailed shots. It is well worth the 180 MB download.

Sleeptracker Watch Already Off To Great Start
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories,
Yesterday, I posted news of the release of the Sleeptracker Watch over at I4U. Well, today I got a call from Lee Loree from Innovative Sleep Solutions (the guys behind the Sleeptracker) in response to an email I sent him. It turns out that the amount of orders they have gotten as a result of the press they have been receiving has them simply stunned. They weren't expecting anything like the success that they are currently enjoying, and to that I simply say, congratulations. If you make a unique product that meets a need, people that hear about it are going to want it - it's that simple. When it gets covered on sites like Gear Live, I4U, and Gizmodo you can expect that the early adopters are going to snatch them up as quickly as possible. The Sleeptracker Watch monitors your sleep state during the night, and wakes you in the morning during an interval of time that you set. The catch here is that it makes sure to wake you at the best time for your body, ensuring you wake up energized rather than while in the midst of a deep sleep cycle.

The Top Ten Tech Cars
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Misc. Tech,
Spectrum Online has an article up on some of the better tech cars of 2005. Sounds like hybrid electric vehicles are all the rage now, along with advanced safety features. It's a good read for those of us in the market for luxury whips, as you might want some of these features. Still, a couple of them fall into either the concept or supercar (read: expensive) category.

Early in the Ted Thompson regime in Green Bay, there was a time when he used to cut below the mandated 53-man limit on the final training camp deadline and fill out the Packers roster with castoffs from other NFL teams.
You might remember 2006 as a particularly notable year, when the Packers eventually trimmed down to 50 and then added three young players released from other teams: safety Charlie Peprah, cornerback Jarrett Bush and offensive lineman Tony Palmer.
The decision to add Palmer was nothing special, but in Peprah and Bush, the Packers found two contributors for several seasons in Green Bay. Peprah was the starting safety on the team that won Super Bowl XLV while Bush has been the team's special teams playoff captain for three years running.
In 2008, the Packers cut punter Jon Ryan and linebacker Abdul Hodge a day after the final cutdown date to eventually add Derrick Frost and long snapper Brett Goode.
The Packers had to suffer through two seasons of Frost and Jeremy Kapinos as their punter, but that eventually opened the door Tim Masthay, who has done a solid job of holding down the fort since that time. And as for Goode, he's been the long snapper for the past five seasons and has yet to screw one up.
Since those early days in the Thompson era, it's usually been other teams that have been raiding the castoffs from the Packers.
The Packers haven't had to scour the waiver wire in recent seasons, at least at the beginning of September, because they've done such a good job finding undrafted rookies to plug the holes.
Just last season, four undrafted rookies made the team coming out of training camp: wide receiver Jarrett Boykin, offensive lineman Don Barclay, linebacker Dezman Moses and safety Sean Richardson. The year before that safety M.D. Jennings and linebackers Jamari Lattimore and Vic So'oto made the team coming out of camp.
But it would appear the Packers are returning to a time when the bottom of the roster isn't quite as deep as it has been in recent seasons.
Make no bones about it, the top of the Packers roster is as deep as it's ever been, and that's a good situation to be in. With players like Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews, Randall Cobb, Josh Sitton and others populating the top of the depth chart and in the prime of their careers, the Packers are sitting pretty.
But when it comes time for the deadline to be down to to at least 53 players on Aug. 31, the Packers may be looking for help from elsewhere in the NFL.
Here's a brief look at each position on the roster, ranked by from most-likely to least-likely to add help from the waiver wire...
- Safety: Beyond Burnett, McMillian and Jennings, it's difficult to see the Packers keeping any other of the current safeties on their roster. Having a healthy Sean Richardson would help. They might roll the dice and go into the season with only three safeties with Jarrett Bush as an emergency backup.
- Kicker: Crosby has obviously had his struggles, and while Tavecchio has done an okay job during training camp, his leg strength comes as a concern. Another team's castoff might be better than both of them. Could "Kickalicious" in Detroit be an option?
- Offensive line: When Bulaga went down to injury, the depth at tackle predictably went down a notch. The Packers appear to be in good hands with Bakhtiari, but they might want to add another backup tackle to develop, especially with guys like Sherrod and Tretter on the PUP list. Even a backup center isn't out of the question.
- Outside linebacker: Matthews, Perry and Moses are fine, but none of the rookies on the team are locks to make the roster. Palmer, Mulumba, Savage and Reed have had their moments, but there might be better players on other teams. Perhaps the Packers could make Neal the fourth outside linebacker if they decide none of the rookies are up to snuff.
- Quarterback: The Packers desperately need a No. 2 quarterback, and they might even find a better option cut from another team, but it would be a major risk to have a Week 1 backup that's only been with the team for a week. There's a better chance they add another team's castoff to the practice squad.
- Tight end: Andrew Quarless and Ryan Taylor might make good additions to the team, but they have to be healthy in order to fight for a job. Both their roster spots are in jeopardy.
- Inside linebacker: While there's maybe not top-flight talent at inside linebacker, at least they go six deep with Hawk, Jones, Francois, Lattimore, Manning and Barrington.
- Wide receiver: The top three of Cobb, Nelson and Jones are top-notch. There's a drop off after the top three, but the Packers probably don't need help from other teams.
- Cornerback: The only way the Packers would need help at cornerback is if the injuries to Williams and Hayward continue to linger. Otherwise it's one of the deepest positions on the team.
- Running back: With the additions of Lacy and Franklin in the draft, there's a lot of good, young talent at the running back position.
- Defensive line: There's no reason the Packers have to go looking for help from anywhere else with Jones, Raji, Pickett, Wilson, Neal, Daniels, Jolly and Boyd. They might even get a midseason infusion of talent if Worthy can come off the PUP list.

text: The healthcare community has seen a big push for pediatric advanced life support. The need and the demand for physicians to step up to the plate has been long gone.They're many nurses as well as physicians who do not wish to participate in the resuscitation of the pediatric patient. Never the less, pediatric patient care is inevitable. A PALS certification course has been developed to help those medical professionals bridge the gap. However, they are many of those individuals who still refuse to participate in the pediatric advanced life support program. When a child is fighting for their life, they deserve a medical professional who is well trained in the resuscitation of a child, infant or neonate. Why else would anyone want to deliver lower than expected medical care. We are in the United States, which is one of the greatest nations on earth. Fighting for life has never been so difficult due to all the adequate healthcare professionals that are currently in the field of emergency medicine. Therefore, we are here in hopes of changing things for the betterment of all mankind as well as all the civilizations that are throughout the world.

St. Bonaventure University is partnering with Special Olympics New York to host a Special Olympics Unified Competition from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, April 24.
Special Olympics New York focuses on providing year-round sports training and competitions in a variety of Olympics-style sports for all children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
SBU's unified competition will feature teams of students with and without intellectual disabilities. Approximately 100 athletes in grades four through seven from Olean, Allegany-Limestone, and Hinsdale schools will be participating.
The event will begin with a memorial run as part of the 2014 Law Enforcement Torch Run to honor Trooper Ross M. Riley. A 17-year veteran of the force and beloved member of the Allegany-area community, Riley, 44, was killed during a rappelling rescue training exercise at Letchworth State Park in November 2013.
The torch will begin its journey in Lincoln Park in Olean at 8:30 a.m., and end at St. Bonaventure's Reilly Center.
Following the run, there will be an Olympic-inspired opening ceremony and unified games in both the Reilly Center and Richter Center. Lunch will be provided by Dresser-Rand, and a closing ceremony will end the event.
Students in two sections of Clare 401, the senior forum course offered at St. Bonaventure, have participated in an intensive Special Olympics Event Management Training Program to coordinate the Unified Competition. Special Olympics offers coaching certification in each of its offered sports. The first, a general session, includes protective-behavior workshops. The second part includes a set of coaching guidelines for each skilled area of the sport.
SBU will host the unified competition for the second year in a row, but Dr. Paula Scraba, associate professor of physical education at the university, hopes to continue and expand the event in years to come. She also hopes to include swimming in next year's skills-development clinic.
"This small event has turned into a big community that's beginning to include more students and schools," she said. "We are promoting sports as a vehicle to increase peer relationships in school."
The number of participants has already doubled since last year, according to Steve Mest, associate athletics director for strategic communications for the university.
Special Olympics New York is the largest Special Olympics program in North America and the sixth largest in the world. The organization has 64,659 athletes across the state compete and train in Olympic-style sports throughout the year, always at no cost to them or their families.
Members of the community are invited to volunteer for both events. Contact Dr. Paula Scraba at email@example.com or (716) 375–2444.
About the University: The nation's first Franciscan university, St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them. We are establishing pathways to internships, graduate schools and careers in the context of our renowned liberal arts tradition. Our students are becoming extraordinary.
