The Worst Journey Ever. The Best Vacation Ever.
I finally got some time to sit down and write about my leave. I have been rather busy. Our days are long, and after I get back from work, I don't have very much time and I'm too tired to sit down and write a journal entry! Well, anyway… here it is. Be warned… it's pretty long!
Ok, so this last month (May), I went on leave. My leave date was the 8th of May. Little did I know that this day would be the beginning of what I would like to call…
The Worst Travelling Experience Ever
We meet our hero at BIAP where he is waiting with his fellow soldiers to get a flight to Kuwait. It is around 8 in the morning, and the day hasn't gotten hot just yet. Everywhere there are Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, Seamen and Civilians sitting and waiting. Some are playing cards or talking amongst themselves. Others are listening to music, or watching movies on their laptops, or reading books. Still others are sprawled out on benches or on the dusty concrete floor, sleeping, using their luggage as pillows. At about 9 in the morning, a formation is called. As our hero hurries and falls in, he looks around and notices Captains, Majors, and Sergeant Majors also in formation. It strikes him as a little funny since he usually sees them in front of a formation, and not in one. Leave – the great equalizer. Somebody comes up to the front of the formation and informs everyone that there are two flights leaving Baghdad. The first one leaves at 12 noon, while the second one leaves at 10 pm. However, there are personnel who have been waiting at BIAP since yesterday, and therefore, they will be given preference for the 12 noon flight. Our hero hopes and prays that there is enough room on the flight for him. However, he has been in the Military long enough to know that expecations are rarely met, and Murphy's Law holds sway most of the time. Sure enough, there isn't enough room on the flight and he has to wait for the 10 pm flight. He settles in for a Long and Boring day.

A Japanese company called Haruyama Trading Co. has developed a suit that supposedly protects the wearer from the H1N1 hysteria virus. Finally!
It does this by being coated with titanium dioxide, which apparently reacts to light and kills the virus when it comes in contact with it. Unfortunately, you don't get the flu through your torso, you get it through your mucus membranes such as your nose and mouth. And unless you plan on wearing the suit jacket over your face, I'm not sure how much good it'll do you.
But hey, at least it'll give you peace of mind, right? And when we're battling a flu strain that appears to be just about as dangerous as the normal flu, but from goddamned pigs, we've got to take extreme measures. [Telegraph]

|Inuzuka Clan
|(犬塚一族, Inuzuka Ichizoku)
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga, Game, Movie
|Clan Data
The Inuzuka clan (犬塚一族, Inuzuka Ichizoku) or Inuzuka family (犬塚家, Inuzuka-ke) is a family of shinobi in Konohagakure known for their use of ninken as fighting companions and are easily identified by the distinctive red fang markings on their cheeks.
The members are given their own canine partner(s) when they reach a certain age. Thereafter, the shinobi and their dog(s) are practically inseparable. The shinobi and canine allies fight using collaboration jutsu, such as the Fang Passing Fang amongst others that take advantage of their teamwork. The clan members are also able to communicate with canines even if unlike Kuromaru, the dogs cannot talk. The members of this clan, much like their canine partners have greatly enhanced senses especially the sense of smell. By concentrating chakra to their noses this is amplified to an even greater extent allowing the user to be able to detect, track and monitor targets from a fair distance away.[1][2] The clan's fighting style primarily revolves around their enhanced speed, strength and agility granted by the Four Legs Technique and other canine-based attacks, in conjunction with the tactical advantages granted by their heightened senses.
Other Clan Members
- During A and Killer B's flashback, an Inuzuka and his ninken partner were seen alongside Minato when they faced the Kumo-nin.[3]
- The name "Inuzuka" (犬塚, Literally meaning: Hill of Dogs), belongs to a clan which was one of the most powerful in the Chiba Prefecture in Japan during the Edo period. They were known as "dog warriors" and worshipped Inu ("Dog"), a deity representing the zodiac sign of the dog. The name "Inuzuka" also originates from the Nansō Satomi Hakkenden, a 19th-century series of novels about a group of samurai brothers who each embodied the eight fundamental principles of Buddhism.
- The known Inuzuka members are all named after a part of the body of a dog (fang, nose and claw), while their dogs are named after colours (red, grey and black).
- Kiba notes that his mother, Tsume, scared his father away.[4] It is currently unknown what this father's involvement with the clan was.
- The facial markings of the Inuzuka clan members are similar to the facial markings on San's cheeks, from the Miyazaki film, Princess Mononoke.
- All known members of this clan have a near feral appearance except for Hana.

Mighty cold
Finally, it has arrived -- the blast of cold weather we've been reading, hearing, and thinking about for the last week. The wind is howling through the trees, and the thermometer on the porch says +5°F. By morning, it will be zero.
Of course, the cold temperatures in southern Kentucky are nothing much, compared to states north of us. Some of our rain and sleet was "flash-frozen" on our roads when the cold air arrived tonight, but we didn't get enough snow to cover the ground. I'm thankful.
Yesterday was a mild sunny day. The sky was blue until sunset when a low gray bank of clouds appeared on the western horizon. It was the sort of day that once might have lured a pioneer into hitching up his team and setting off on a long trip to town for supplies. We've all heard the sad stories of people who perished in winter storms that appeared from nowhere. Now we have an entire weather industry that keeps us warned about dangerous weather we might not otherwise anticipate.
About 3:00 pm yesterday, one of my ears suddenly began to ache. I didn't recognize that as a weather omen but Keely (my personal scientist) pointed out that the barometric pressure was dropping rapidly, and my somewhat stuffy head probably wasn't equalized yet. I think she was right. Six hours later, the earache was gone.
My father's cattle must have been good at reading the weather signs. When a winter storm was near, they always gathered at the windbreaks closest to the buildings. Remembering them makes me worry about the livestock and other animals that are outside in this weather, and the people who are working outside doing important, necessary things that are made very difficult by the cold.
I'm also a little worried about the electricity which has blinked six times tonight so far. Wind gusts are blowing something against the wires and creating a short circuit somewhere, I suspect. We have plenty of flashlight batteries and lamp oil, but I hope we don't need them. Pennyrile Electric posted on Facebook a few minutes ago that they have power outages affecting over 1200 members.
Earlier today, a Sunday School song (Psalms 118:24) came to mind: "This is the day that the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." I am glad tonight, most of all for warmth and shelter. And, while it's a little hard to rejoice, I do respect and honor the Creator who put the mighty forces of nature in place and set them in motion.

Heat Dissipation in Bruker AVANCE Spectrometers
After years of service, two of our Bruker AVANCE spectrometers were running very warm. Using "UniTool" to check the temperature of the SGUs revealed that the board temperatures averaged 58° C! The DDS temperatures were all >55° C and not regulated. The air filters in the console doors were removed and cleaned and all eight fans of the AQS unit, housing the SGU's, were replaced on each spectrometer. After a day for the instruments to come to a thermal steady state, the SGU and DDS temperatures were again measured. The SGU board temperatures averaged 49°C. The DDS units in three of the five SGU's were now regulated properly at 55°C. The other two were still > 55°C and unregulated. In an attempt to lower the temperature further, the backs of the spectrometers were removed and again the instruments were allowed to reach a thermal steady state over a 24 hour period. The SGU and DDS temperatures were measured again. This time the SGU board temperatures averaged 38°C and all five DDS units were regulated properly at 55°C. The SGU temperatures in our AVANCE II and III spectrometers (with backs on) did not exceed 40°C and the DDS temperatures were regulated properly.
Although this may not be recommended by Bruker, I now run our AVANCE spectrometers with the back panels removed.

Hi Glenn,
Are there any empty slots in your AQS rack that are open? Meaning that there is an open gap in the AQS rack that is not covered by the panel slots thst fit into the gaps. Sometimes these open gaps can cause these types of heat problems because the cooling air is escaping through these open slots instead of being routed through the AQS appropriately. If there are these open slots you may want to get the covers for them and see if that makes any difference.

Hi Bernie,
All slots on the AQS racks are full and the airflow seems good. On our two bay AVANCE the back panel has only one fan to help vent air. I wonder if maybe this is not enough. On our one bay AVANCE the back panel has no fans.
- June 19, 2010 at 10:36 AM
we always keep the back panels removed. So don't be afraid Bruker doesn't recommend it ;)
Moreover, the fans tend to die after a few months due to the constant operation of a spectrometer. So you better keep an eye on them ;)
- June 26, 2010 at 1:02 PM
On previous generations of instruments (Bruker already, some 30 years ago), my dad used to take the electronic components out of the frame and align them on a separate open shelf, with a fan blowing on them. It was a weird looking setup, but it worked.
- July 16, 2010 at 9:54 AM
Hi! Glenn:
How do you clean the air filters, it cost hundred of dollars to buy them from Bruker.
- July 28, 2010 at 4:15 PM
- Glenn Facey said...
Dear Anonymous,
I use a vacuum cleaner. I do believe however that replacing the filters would be a better option.

Hi Glenn,
What about the temperature regulation of the older PTS Quartz Oscillator driven frequency synthesizer? How do I know the temperature inside it?

I'm not sure how to monitor the temperature in an older PTS synthesizer or indeed if it is important to do so.

For Shelley: Yarn Dyeing Tutorial
I dyed this yarn for my friend Shelley and she wanted to know how I did it. E-mailing a bunch of pics never works on my computer so I thought I would just post it here.
I actually learned how to do this from my friend Cat. It's surprisingly really simple and easy. It just can be a bit messy!
*I apologize in advance for the photos. The only way I can do this is late at night when the girls are sleeping so all the pics are taken with a flash and not very good.*
What I used (per skein of yarn):
-100% wool yarn tied in a skein but undone to make a large circle (see pic below)
-3 packages of kool-aid (I used 1 strawberry, 1 orange and 1 pink lemonade)
-3 glasses to hold kool-aid mixture
-trash bag
-plastic gloves
-turkey baster
-large pot with steamer basket
First, get your yarn ready for the dyeing process by soaking it in water for a few minutes so it is completely wet all the way through.
Put on your plastic gloves and get your dyes ready by pouring the kool-aid powder in separate glasses and add water. I know there is an actual ratio of 1 package of unsweetened drink mix per ounce of yarn BUT I tend to just wing it. Use less kool-aid for lighter colors, more for darker colors. I prefer the lighter colors so as you can see I filled the glasses up pretty high (you can see my mark on each glass). That is also what allowed me to only use 1 package of each color per skein.
Take your yarn out of the water and squeeze it a bit to remove most of the access water.Then lay a plastic garbage bag on your floor or table top and place the yarn on top of it like a big circle.
Starting with your lightest color (which for me was pink lemonade) take your turkey baster and squeeze some of the dye onto the yarn in whatever pattern you like. I tend to stick to the simple ratios, almost like cutting the circle like it was a cake.
Turn your skein over carefully and dye it on the back side, too. Then, with plastic gloves, gently press on the yarn to move the dye through all the layers. Beware of white spots, especially where the skein is tied.
Continue this way with the next darkest color (again, for me, it was the orange) and then the next. Make sure you rinse the baster really well between colors to prevent unwanted mixing.
Once you have finished dyeing carefully pick up your skein and place it in the steamer basket on your stove top and steam for 45 minutes over hot water. Do each skein individually so they will not bleed onto each other. Cool and wash your yarn. I use Eucalan wool wash.
Notice the time on the clock! That's why the pics are so bad ;)
Having matching pj pants on while dyeing is a must!
Once yarn is washed hang to dry (if outside make sure to hang out of direct sunlight).
Yes, my drying technique looks silly!
Voila! Beautifully colored yarn made just the way you want it. How perfect is that?!
The yarn will smell fruity for a few washes but it will fade away. The dye itself shouldn't bleed,the acidity in the kool-aid really makes it stick.
Shelley, it's going in the mail ASAP :) Hope you like it!

I've found that putting an old towel under the yarn and on top of the garbage bag helps keep the colors a bit clearer for me, but that's also probably because I tend to like darker colors.

thank you so much for this.
i've dyed playsilks with koolaid a couple of times but haven't ventured into yarn yet.
i'm totally inspired now!!!
- July 25, 2009 at 1:44 PM
This is beautiful Nicole!
I did not know that dying your own yarn could be this easy, I might just try it myself!
I guess if you would use 'normal' powdered colors you would need to add vinegar to the solution.
Do you have any good sources for white wool yarn or did you spin it yourself as well?
- July 26, 2009 at 3:05 PM
- Mama Rose said...
That's seems way too easy-wow!!
Thank you for sharing this with us! By the way...I love your color scheme.

- FrontierDreams said...
Thank you everyone! I hope this helps out!
Pampered Mom - Thank you for that tip! I will have to try that next time, that seems like it would help a lot!
Maggie - Yeah, I am pretty sure you would need to add vinegar to other dyes. I get my yarn from all kinds of places online - jimmybeanswool, knitpicks to naea couple. The O-Wool natural is by far my favorite though! HTH!

does it have to be unsweetened?

The kool aid packet itself doesn't need to be unsweetened but don't add sugar to it :) Let me know if that helps!

I love Kool-Aid dyeing, it's simple and the colours/flavours available are close to those available from acid dyes. Have you tried using cake decorating/food grade dyes? I hear Wilton colours are awesome, too!

I have been meaning to, but haven't tried that yet. I need to do it :)

I can't wait to try this with my boys...not sure what I'll do with the yarn afterwards since I don't know how to knit...I'll figure out something. Thanks for the tutorial!

- Mellindor said...
Hi there!
I love your dying technique!
I was just wondering - because I don't think they have this CoolAid thing where I live - is it possible to make a dye from every type of powdered drinks? What are the CoolAid thing's contents?
And, also, can you recommend something to use for keeping the colors if I don't have this steamer basket?
- May 21, 2010 at 4:35 AM

alright. that's it. i'm going to break down and by kool-aid. just too many useful (non edible.) things that can be done with it!

Hi there! I just found your blog post and can't wait to try it! I have a quick question. Did you wrap the skein in the plastic before you placed in the double boiler? I have seen that with other tutorials when they microwave but didn't know if it was necessary here. Thank you!
- September 25, 2015 at 9:44 AM
- FrontierDreams said...
Hi Shanna! No, I did not wrap them in plastic. That might help to stop any bleeding though :)

What do youth development in the Yukon River region of Alaska, collaborative design of common spaces for domestic violence survivors in Boston and computer training to fight human trafficking in Cambodia's capitol of Phnom Penh have in common? These student projects, along with many more, have all been generously funded by one of the Institute's treasures: the MIT Women's League.
Since 1913, the League has pursued its goal to "humanize a technical institute" by encouraging students to engage in serving their communities near and far. Although the organization already had a rich history of local outreach — such as spearheading volunteer opportunities like conversational English classes — their collaboration with the Public Service Center (PSC) since 1999 has enabled them to support MIT women engaging with women's issues around the world.
"MIT students are full of purpose and the local and global programs selected by the PSC are impressive," says Ellen Stordy, a member of the Women's League executive board. The League has supported eight women students addressing women's issues through the Rebecca M. Vest Fellowship, established in 2005. More recently, they have also launched the Elizabeth W. Johnson Fellowship for students, both women and men, working on environmental issues. Both Public Service Fellowship programs are named in honor of former first ladies of MIT.
Some students viewed their service experiences as a confirmation of academic direction. Graduate student Alyssa Bryson traveled to Colombia last summer to support a consortium of women providing advocacy for those affected by the country's armed conflict. "Hearing their personal stories … was incredible. They face their challenges with such strength and perseverance that I was truly left in awe," she shared in response to working alongside the Colombian women. "The experience solidified my lifelong goal to create sustainable change for marginalized communities, and for this I am extremely grateful."
The Rebecca M. Vest Fellowship has also been pivotal in shaping the paths of women early on in their time at MIT. During her freshman year, alumna Kendra Johnson '09 was funded by the PSC to develop and implement a potable water system in Ecuador's Amazonian communities. The Women's League supported Kendra for a return trip to Ecuador, during which she helped villagers become more self-sufficient in meeting their water needs. Johnson, currently studying medicine in California, now runs Sacha Yaku, a non-profit that supports the community of Santa Ana to help not just themselves but also neighboring villages with their community water systems.
These stories and more are only a snapshot of the broad impact the Women's League has had on the MIT community and its global activities. The staff and board provide a wide range of ways to get involved, as portrayed by board member Suzanne Collins: "If you're looking for fun or more serious opportunities, brief encounters or monthly meetings, you can find it all with the MIT Women's League."

Wood sculptor Adrian Burger shows a wooden mask "Larve" that he has prepared for a client for Carnival, at his workshop in Elzach, Germany, Feb. 26, 2014.
For the last 25 years Burger has produced about 120 masks a year from linden tree wood for local revelers, as well as collectors, and is one of four artisans in Elzach who have specialized in the masks in a local tradition going back to the 16th century.
A mask cost around 250 - 300 Euro. Carnival in the region is already underway and will continue through early next week in celebrations similar to shrovetide or Mardi Gras.

In case you haven't heard, Dassault Systèmes announced a really exciting acquisition today. The SIMULIA brand is expanding with the addition of FE-DESIGN to the growing 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This will extend SIMULIA market leading solutions for design optimization. Check out the News Release for the official statement.
If you're unfamiliar with FE-DESIGN products, you've been missing out! 🙂 Headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany, FE-DESIGN developed TOSCA Structure and TOSCA Fluid, two leading optimization technologies for both FEA and CFD simulations. These tools provide exceptional advantages to the simulation analyst, helping to create innovative and more easily manufactured design early in the product development process to deliver better products to the market faster.
- TOSCA Structure is the market leading technology for structural optimization, leveraging a variety of FEA packages. It allows for rapid and reliable design of lightweight, rigid and durable components and systems. Using topology optimization with TOSCA Structure technologies can help determine optimal design proposals during the design concept phase. Further detail improvements through shape and bead optimization make these designs ready for production and manufacture.
- TOSCA Fluid is so far the only available system for topology optimization of channel flow problems. Starting from an initial design space, an optimized design of a flow channel is determined automatically by TOSCA Fluid. With only one CFD solver run an optimized structure is derived (e.g. structural redesign with significantly reduced pressure drop). This unique technology allows an economic topology optimization of industrial large scale flow applications.
Imagine the possibilities for increased efficiency and creative design when using these technologies with in association with current SIMULIA products like Isight, our process automation and design optimization solution. Such a combination will provide a comprehensive suite of applications to support decisions ranging from the shape of a product to entire business processes.
You can learn more about design optimization from this SIMULIA webinar replay.
Last but not least, join us at the SIMULIA Customer Conference, May 21-24th, 2013 in Vienna, Austria to learn more about design optimization, TOSCA technologies and how they can improve your simulation & design efficiency. Looking forward to seeing you there! 😀

(And, no, it's not the one you're probably thinking of.)
Even though Bob Stoops made it clear the competition is ongoing, it would be surprising if Blake Bell — all 263 pounds of him — was not named Oklahoma's starting quarterback during fall camp. The pecking order behind Bell, on the other hand, appears more up for grabs.
However, one quarterback still technically eying the starting job has seen his chances take a major, if not outright definitive, hit. Sooners coach Bob Stoops confirmed on Thursday that Kendal Thompson has sustained a fractured foot and will undergo surgery. The good news for OU is that Thompson's injury is not expected to sideline him too far into the 2013 schedule.
"We're optimistic that Kendal will return early in the season," Stoops said. "Kendal will undergo a surgical procedure today. He is eager to rejoin his teammates on the field as soon as possible."
That means Bell will be competing directly with Trevor Knight for the No. 1 spot in Week 1 against Louisiana-Monroe.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is strengthening the regulations that govern the shipping of hazardous waste (hazwaste) for recycling between the United States and other countries.
The new measures are meant to increase the level of regulatory oversight, provide stricter controls, and greater transparency. The final rule announced Dec. 28 aligns EPA's hazwaste import/export/transit shipment regulations with the procedures of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), an international consortium that comprises 30 countries including the United States.
EPA's new measures bolster regulations regarding shipments into or out of the United States and strengthen the extensive set of regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) governing shipment within the United States.
Specifically, this rule revises:

The #POSTDIGITALISM episode, is more than just another Theo-Mass installment. Comparing with the previous five episodes which took approximately four months each from start to completion, #POSTDIGITALISM is planned to last for more than a year and invites several collaborations with writers, artists and designers from around the globe who will be expected to create, explore and share their view on the subject matter. Several writers and authors will be proposed to express their views on #POSTDIGITALISM, in the form of essays, in order to arouse a discussion on the development of the Postdigital society as well as how the development of the social networks, the internet and technology, affected the world of design, art and fashion after 2010.
The conceptual framework of the #POSTDIGITALISM episode, wishes to explore the impact of an image or a piece of text created to be distributed in the web or in social media sites like tumblr, facebook, instagram or twitter, in the substantial world. For example, all the words that compose the #POSTDIGITALISM manifesto are accompanied by the hashtag symbol (#). Consequently, the words accompanied with the hashtag symbol, when posted on instagram or twitter, gives you the possibility to enter hundreds of channels, but when printed in a piece of paper they no longer seem to function in the same way. Instead a hybrid language is rising. The same phenomenon appears with a gif file, with the (@) symbol and so on. What happens when extracting the digital world from the screen to reality?
All artworks to be presented in the #POSTDIGITALISM SHOW, were created using technology such as the 3D body and face scanning in an attempt to transfer my self into a 2dimensional form and trap me into the screen. The main objective was to ultimately and completely avoid processes that involve the element of the human touch such as the photographer and instead work solely with machines and technology. A 3D file that I have as part of the final work, provides the means through which I can control the angle of the object and the amount of light. I can also push that further and change the material or the colour of the final object. With this process, I am 100% directing the shoot, taking the role of the photographer as well. Moreover with the 3D-Printing technology I can take the role of a sculptor and give substance to those electronic files extracting them in this way, out of the digital world. All the images exhibited on the first #POSTDIGITALISM Show will be associated with a text on the bottom; words descriptive of the image, always with the hashtag symbol in the front. Seeking their physical place, the digital world, words and images will be constantly inviting the viewers to transfer them into the digital world, the place they belong, the place they were originally created.
There will be a series of Theo-Mass portraits made using 3D body and face scanning which were then rendered with different materials and colours chosen in accordance to the concept of the episode all the while having the #POSTDIGITALISM manifesto as a reference and starting point from creation to completion. Furthermore there will be a series of images that were created using the ipad, employing the Meshlab application and then by capturing in screenshots the angle of the 3D object, the images were afterwards manipulated using the PhotoToaster ipad application. It will also present a series of other images that I have been posting on instagram using those filters as well as 2 animations and a series of sculptures created using the 3D-Printer. The sculptures were 3Dprinted in NY-LON, a material that refers to the two cities I was touring for the past 2 years, NY and LONdon. Additionally, several artists will be encouraged to create a series of animated gif files based on the exhibition material as they will all be posted on the Theo-Mass tumblr page during the exhibition period.
As Carl Goodman, the executive director of The Museum of the Moving Image said: "the GIF occupies very fertile ground between the still and the moving image". The GIF provides a link between today's technologically sophisticated visual culture and the 19th century, before movies, when short bursts of looping motion captured the public imagination of moving picture devices like the zoetrope. Social media sites like tumblr, brought back the animated GIF files and made it one of the most popular formats nowadays. Creating an animated GIF, enables each individual to direct and create his/her own short film without having any directorial skills or equipment. I am currently working on a series of sculptures based on the animated gif files concept. How would a gif file look like in the real world?
During the #POSTDIGITALISM episode, in collaboration with several designers, architects, artists and technicians the Theo-Mass studio will be transformed into a research center on new technologies and explore the established ones in order to transcend their boundaries. Our first attempt is to explore 3D-Printing and manage to invent new ways of using this technology.
On the development of the #POSTDIGITALISM episode, fashion which was one of the most important elements in my work, will be replaced with new materials that will be created especially for the project based on technology, exploring a completely new aesthetic and setting new standards. Based on the concept above, I have collaborated with artist Bart Hess where we worked on a series of Theo-Mass portraits and an animation.
Overall, the purpose of the #POSTDIGITALISM episode, is to attempt to explore new technologies and invent new avenues that will extract the digital into the physical, giving substance to virtuality, creating in this way hybrids; artworks of mix origin and composition. Artworks resulting from a cross between two diverse realities; that of the physical existence and that of the abstractness of the digital world (a concept based on Theo-Mass's HYBRID EFFECT which will be published during the #POSTDIGITALISM episode).

The grand finale of the third Search for The Messiest Home in the Country was messy, painful, entertaining, inspiring and cringe-worthy reality TV. Here are some of my thoughts after watching the drama unfold at winner Sharon Baglien's house in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Related: 'Messiest Home' winner flees $100,000 makeover
Clutter is one thing. But this home was floor-to-ceiling packed with stuff (click the link to see the Cincinnati Enquirer's photo gallery), as were the garage and a storage unit. The living room ceiling was cracking under the weight of the mess in the attic. The basement walls and floors were so buried, they couldn't be seen.
I think it took some courage for Sharon and her daughter to let strangers see the extent of their problem. When I had clutter, I didn't even want my friends to see my apartment, and mine looked nothing like this.
Both mom and daughter agreed to be on the show. It was the daughter's idea, but Sharon said many times over the course of the show that she wanted help and welcomed change.
Denial appeared to play a big supporting role. Sharon said several times that she was overwhelmed by the clutter, but she refused to acknowledge that she had a shopping or hoarding problem, even after being confronted with bags of uneaten food and 200 blazers, some of which still sported price tags. Her daughter, meanwhile, kept boxes of unopened bottles of lotion in her room. Mom justified one unworn jacket purchase by explaining it had been on "deep discount" and "60 percent off."
At one point, Nash showed Sharon around the 7,000-square-foot space they'd had to rent to host the show's record-breaking yard sale. Mom's response? The equivalent of a shrug. Again and again, she explained that her clutter was the accumulation of stuff over 30 years — three decades in which new things came into the house, but nothing, it appeared, went out.
I felt more sympathy for the daughter than for the mother after watching the entire show. Both behaved badly and stormed off at different points, but Sharon was brutal when the cleaning and sorting began. She actually threatened to "bitch slap" her daughter at one point for trying to put some of her things in the discard pile. If she was this comfortable cursing out her daughter in front of the cameras, I had to wonder what their interactions are like off.
The house looked beautiful at the end the show. Both women reacted positively to the transformation of the kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedrooms. But after accusing the "Clean House" crew of taking her grandmother's purses, Sharon got into her car and fled, leaving her daughter to see the basement free of clutter for the first time.
"Clean House" turned a big spotlight on this mother and daughter, but it also removed everything from their house and an overflowing storage unit, sold a mountain of stuff and donated the proceeds to a charity of the mom's choice, restored hot water in their bathroom, fixed the giant crack running across the living room ceiling, replaced nonworking appliances — including a dishwasher, washer and dryer — with new ones and more. The crew transformed this house from a hazard into a home.
I may be the only person who wants to know what happened to the mice they found in the basement. Those little guys were pretty cute. Actually, I don't want to know. They probably met a bad fate.
As a reader pointed out on my last post, host Niecy Nash cried when she saw the basement. "I don't want this for you," she told the Bagliens. Neither did I.
Hoarding is a serious psychological problem. If the show's an accurate representation of this household, it will take more than a makeover to fix.
If you missed the show and want to see it, The Style Network is re-airing it at 9 tonight.

- 3 tbsp chopped fresh flatleaf parsley, plus extra to serve
Up to three days before, make the pastry puffs. Preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/ gas 6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry a little thinner and stamp out sixteen 6cm rounds. Put the rounds on a baking sheet and brush with the egg. Sprinkle with salt and bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Cool on a wire rack, then store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
Make the stew. Put the beef, garlic and bay leaf in a large non-metallic bowl and pour in the stout. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least an hour, preferably overnight.
Preheat the oven to fan 130C/ conventional 150C/gas 2. Drain the meat and pat dry on kitchen paper. Set aside the marinade liquid.
Heat both half the butter and oil in a large lidded ovenproof casserole. Over a high heat, brown the beef in batches until each piece is sealed and dark brown. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon as you go. Set aside.
Wipe the dish with kitchen paper, melt the remaining butter and oil and fry the bacon and onions for 10-15 minutes until the onions are golden brown, very soft and well reduced.
Stir in the flour until blended, add the port and reserved marinade and return the beef to the dish. Bring to the boil, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook in the oven for 2½ -3 hours or until the meat is very tender (no need to season). Cool, put in a large sealed container and store in the fridge, or freeze for up to 1 month.
To serve, return to the casserole and bring slowly to the boil (if frozen, defrost and continue as above). Add pickled walnuts and reserved pickling vinegar and simmer for 30 minutes until hot. Stir through the parsley. Re-heat the pastries at fan 180C/ conventional 200C/gas 6 for 3-4 minutes. To serve, ladle into bowls, top with a couple of pastry puffs and sprinkle with a little chopped parsley.

Here they are, I optimized them in Blender a bit, and made them accessable from both sides and - believe it or not - I made the stairs better, although they still suck.
Someone (me, if I have time) will likely have to remove a good half of the unneeded faces for the sake of optimization, (doing soon won't cause any clipping issues.) In the current state they're not actually that bad, and won't cripple anyones FPS.

I'm hesitant to call this papercraft, since that's a word we normally associate with little things that sit on a desk. Instead, I'm just going to call this 6'10″ model of Metroid's Samus Aran a masterpiece.
It's made entirely of paper. Her giant helmet, her giant arms, even her giant feet, all made from paper and bound by glue.
I'd be on my feet applauding if I wasn't ever so slightly terrified by the thing.

text: VingCard Elsafe RFID access control and energy management at Grand Hyatt San Francisco /Global/Grand-Hyatt-San-Francisco524x224.jpg The luxurious Grand Hyatt San Francisco recently selected a complete package of radio-frequency identification (RFID) access control and locking solutions for hotel security from VingCard Elsafe, the global leader in hospitality security and part of the ASSA ABLOY Group. VingCard Elsafe's products – including its Orion energy-management system and Signature RFID locks powered by the cutting-edge VISIONLINE wireless online access management system – played a key role in the comprehensive renovation of the Grand Hyatt San Francisco's 659 guestrooms. With VingCard Elsafe products as the centerpiece, the 38-story, 39-year-old iconic Union Square property is now one of the most tech-forward hotels in all of San Francisco. "VingCard Elsafe has truly helped modernize our hotel, giving us a real competitive advantage with discerning, savvy travelers who desire the latest and greatest hotel experience," says Matthew Kovac, director of sales and marketing for Grand Hyatt San Francisco. "Guests love and appreciate that their RFID keys can't be demagnetized – they revel in that fact. And with the Orion energy management system, we are a big step closer to becoming one of the greenest hotels in San Francisco, which feels great, and is a great selling point, as well." The Orion system is comprised of wireless digital thermostats, occupancy sensors, door position interfaces, remote server software and a comprehensive dashboard reporting interface. Orion automatically assumes control of ambient temperature when guestrooms are unoccupied, never allowing them to become either too warm or too cold. Upon guests' return, the system automatically resumes the preset temperature settings. "There's only so much retrofitting an older hotel like ours can do to go green, and Orion gives us a fantastic ability to reduce our carbon footprint in a meaningful way," Kovac says. "There's definitely a segment of our guests who are more likely to choose us because we're greener now, and it also helps us cut down on our energy bills. It's a win-win." The backbone of the Orion system is VISIONLINE by VingCard, a revolutionary wireless communication platform that encompasses both the energy management and guestroom locking systems. VISIONLINE by VingCard integrates seamlessly with Elsafe's Infinity II electronic safes, which are also in use at Grand Hyatt San Francisco. The most visible piece of the hotel's technological upgrade is the installation of VingCard Elsafe's Signature RFID locks. The RFID locks allow for simple, contactless guestroom entry, and they communicate with VISIONLINE by VingCard. Additionally, the system is designed to be easily adapted to support Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. "The VingCard Elsafe suite of security solutions combines stringent safety standards with cutting-edge technology and high design to an extent that our competition simply can't match," says Tim Shea, CEO ASSA ABLOY Hospitality. "Adding the Orion energy management system to the 360-degree view of the hotel provided by VISIONLINE by VingCard makes good environmental and economic sense, as well."

The first thing to remember is that we are not writing an essay. We need to convey as much relevant information as possible and not exceed 3 to 4 pages. Your CV should cover the following:
Your personal information:
Name and surname
Phone number
Email address
Physical address
Postal address
Driver's license (only if you have it)
Points to remember: It is essential that your cellphone needs to be on in case anyone phone. Make sure that you have a professonal message on your phone in case you miss a call. If you only have a home phone number then everyone living with you need to be aware of the fact that you are waiting for a call. Place a pen and paper next to the phone in casy there is a message. Do not give your spouse's cellphone number unless you will be able to speak to the caller immediately. Is your email up and running? Does the P O Box belong to you or someone else? If it belongs to (e.g.) your parents they need to be aware that you might get important information. It is not necessary to disclose your age, gender, height, weight, marital status or religion. If you do not have an email address then set one up through Hotmail or Yahoo. And as tempting as what it might do not have your email@example.com address on your CV. Try and register one with your name and surname only.
Educational information:
Start with the most recent achievement / qualification and work your way back. List the degree, diploma, matriculation or standard achieved as well as the year and institution. Then move on the one just before that (e.g. first your degree and then matric). There is no need to list all the subjects you took (unless it is relevant). However, it is crucial to list all your qualifications – whether they were from academic institutions or not.
It is important to list all of your achievements while studying, e.g. competitions won, awards received, provincial colours achieved, orders of merit.
List all the leadership positions you served in, e.g. class prefect, captain of a team, chairperson of a committee.
End this section of with your extracurricular activities that you participated in, e.g. sport, hobbies.
Points to remember: The older you are the less important your school information will become. For instance: You might only want to mention that you matriculated, where and when and one or two major achievements. It is also not necessary to show your grades or marks achieed. It is also best to leave out any information on political activities or other controversial topics. However, if you know that the recruiter is looking for someone who participated in certain political groups then you might want to mention it.
Work experience:
Start with the most recent position and work your way back. List the title of the position, the name of the company and your length of service. Below this you can give a description of your duties (in bullet-point format). It is also important to list any projects that you worked on. Be specific and use numbers where possible, e.g. Managed 32 staff members and a R1 million budget.
It is again important to list all of your achievements while working, e.g. competitions won, awards received.
List all the leadership positions you served in, e.g. managerial or supervisory roles, chairperson of a committee.
End this section of with any additional things that you use to do for the company, e.g. editor of the company newsletter, organiser of the year end function.
Points to remember: Always look at the information and ask whether it is relevant. There is no need to supply the contact details of previous employers nor the reason why you left their employment.
Computer skills:
The ability to work on a computer has developed into a key skill. List all the programs that you are able to work with as well as your proficiency level.
List all the courses, workshops, seminars, etc that you attended only if it is relevant to the position you are applying for and if you haven't mentioned it before. It is always a good idea to list the topic, institution, facilitator / guest speaker and date.
Activities and Interests:
Remember that most people enjoy listening to music, going to the movies, socialising with friends, reading, etc. Unless you do someting special, or relevant to the position, rather leave this section out.
Mention that "References are available on request". It is important that your references are aware of the fact that they might be contacted.

Anne Arundel County police investigate 3 separate robberies
2 incidents happened in Laurel, 1 in Glen Burnie
Anne Arundel County police are investigating three separate robberies that happened on Sunday.
Officers were called to the 100 block of Ertter Drive in Laurel for the robbery at 8:54 p.m. Sunday.
Officers learned it was an attempted armed robbery of three people: a 16-year-old male, a 17-year-old male and a 19-year-old male. Police said the three victims were standing in the hallway entrance of an apartment building when two robbers approached them and demanded they hand over their property.
Police said one robber was armed with a handgun and struck the 16-year-old in the face with the handgun.
The victims did not hand over any property and fled into the apartment building. The robber fled on foot east on Ertter Drive.
The 16-year-old victim sustained minor injuries, which required treatment at an area hospital.
Numerous patrol units and a K-9 unit searched the vicinity, but were unable to locate the suspects.
Police said one robber was described as a black, in his late teens, approximately 5-feet 7-inches tall, weighing 150 pounds with a light complexion, wearing a dark gray jacket with a white emblem over the left breast pocket, black pants, black gloves and a full, black ski mask with a hoodie pulled over it.
The second robber was described as a black man, approximately 5-feet 9-inches tall, weighing 150 pounds, wearing a black coat and a full, black ski mask with a black hoodie pulled over it.
In a separate incident, police said a 24-year-old woman was the victim in a strong-arm robbery in Laurel.
Officers were called to the 3300 block of Corridor Market Place in Laurel for a robbery at 8:30 p.m. Sunday.
A 24-year-old woman told police she was walking on the parking lot when she was approached from behind by two men. One of them pushed her from behind with both hands, causing her to fall to the ground and then grabbed her purse, police said. Both robbers ran toward the rear of the parking lot.
The victim did not sustain any injury from the incident.
Police said the robbers were described as two black men wearing all dark clothing.
In a separate incident, officers were called to the 8000 block of Crain Highway in Glen Burnie for a report of a robbery at 6:42 p.m. Sunday.
A 19-year-old man told police he was walking in the area when three men approached him and requested money. The victim said he didn't have money and the robbers proceeded to punch the victim repeatedly and take money from his pockets.
The suspects were last seen fleeing the area on foot. Several officers and a K-9 unit searched the area, but could not find the robbers. The victim refused medical treatment at the scene.
The robbers were described as three black men wearing black clothing and ski masks.

10,490 of the world's top athletes marched into London's Olympic Stadium for the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Games. Five hundred and thirty of them represented Team USA.
Here's a look at the lineup of Team's USA's roster, beginning with superlatives:
Gender majority: Female. For the first time ever, the U.S. is sending more women than men to the Olympic Games. U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun called the historical gender tip "a true testament to the impact of Title IX, which in its 40-year history has increased sport opportunities for millions of females across the United States."
The final line-up names 261 males and 269 females, including the three members of the first-ever women's boxing team, which will make history in London Aug. 5.
State sending the most athletes: California is sending 128 athletes, including 24 of the 26 U.S. water polo players and the entire 3-person U.S. badminton team, to the Games. That means roughly a quarter of the entire U.S. Olympic team will be from the Golden State.
New York and Pennsylvania tie for second—both states are sending 35 athletes, while third-place Texas is sending 33.
Tallest: Tyson Chandler, who will play center on the U.S. basketball team, stands at 7-foot-1 and is more than two feet taller than the shortest members of Team USA.
Shortest: Diver Katie Bell, wrestler Clarissa Chun and gymnast Gabby Douglas are all 4-foot-11.
Average age: 27
Youngest member: Katie Ledecky, a 15-year-old swimmer from Bethesda, Md., will compete in the 800m free.
Oldest member: Karen O'Connor, a 54-year-old from Ocala, Fla., earned a spot on the equestrian team.
Most-decorated: Swim star Michael Phelps still reigns with 16 medals (14 gold, two bronze). On the ladies side, it's Natalie Coughlin, who has 11 (three golds, four silvers and four bronze).
Largest team: The athletics team, which includes track and field competitors, is made up of 125 athletes—62 women and 63 men. The swim team is the second largest with 49 athletes, and the rowing team is third with 44.
Smallest teams: The synchronized swimming team is sending two ladies—Mary Killman of McKinney, Texas, and Mariya Koroleva of Concord, Calif.—to London to compete. Badminton, modern pentathlon and weightlifting are all three-person teams.
Other fun facts:
Not their first rodeo: Team USA includes 228 returning Olympians, including seven five-time Olympians, 21 four-time Olympians, 57 three-time Olympians and 143 two-time Olympians.
Not this year: There are no athletes on Team USA from New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, South Carolina or West Virginia.
Lots of siblings: Eight pairs of siblings will compete at the Games, including two sets of twins (tennis players Bob and Mike Bryan and rowers Grant and Ross James).
Moms and dads: There will be 13 mothers and 54 fathers.
Connecticut breeds rowers: Of the eight athletes from the Constitution State, six are competing in rowing or sailing. (The other two are on the athletics team.)
California is providing the entire badminton team and most of the water polo team: As indicated above, 24 of the 26 U.S. water polo athletes hail from California.
The team will participate in a digital send-off. The last time the Games were in London in 1948, the send-off involved live music, speeches and 240 athletes boarding a ship to embark on a trans-Atlantic journey. Times change. This year, it means live athlete chats on Facebook and live athlete Q&A sessions on Twitter. The digital send-off happens Wednesday, July 11, from noon to 5 p.m. ET.

If you're on Facebook, you've seen them. And, if you're not, you can appreciate the sentiment and meaning behind writing ("posting") something for every day in November leading up to Thankgiving for which you are thankful.
I haven't been doing it — not that I'm not thankful, but that I'm overwhelmed by it.
Perhaps I just need a few late-night hours to think, and write, all of which have been hard to come by lately.
OK, so:
I am thankful for a sovereign, loving, perfect God.
I am thankful for the freedom of religion and freedom of speech that allows me to profess that publicly without threat of prosecution or persecution.
I am thankful to live in the United States of America, where our forefathers and pioneer women forged a standard of individual and collective freedoms, rights and responsibilities — fought for dearly with their own blood, sweat and tears, and maintained by the same blood, sweat and tears of subsequent generations of soldiers and civilians.
I am thankful for the right to vote.
I am thankful I can disagree with a friend or neighbor in matters of current affairs or politics and not resort to name-calling, intellectual bullying or outright civil war.
I am thankful there are also more than 22 ways to give when your heart breaks for all those suffering current hardship. (See Lebanon Schools, Lebanon Scouts, Lebanon Fire Department and Lebanon Rescue food and toy drives, among many others locally, nationally and internationally.)
I am thankful to live in a community that cares.
I am thankful to know men and women who live to serve others. You know who you are.
I am thankful for the power of prayer.
I am thankful for forgiveness.
I am thankful that our needs have been and continue to be met.
I am thankful for a faithful, dependable, supportive husband.
I am thankful for each of my four children, who each possess similar but very different and amazingly wonderful personalities.
I am thankful for my mom, steady and strong, who is never more than a phone call away, and for my dad, who I know, sometimes from just the faintest sniff of cigarette smoke, may have passed before he ever met my husband or my kids, but still watches over us all.
I am thankful for my mother-, father-, and brother-in-law, who live next door and are a reliable source of fun times, care and support.
I am thankful I am able to work from home and regularly share my albeit cluttered "office space" with an infant and a preschooler.
I am thankful I am no longer in school, particularly middle school, and that sixth-grade math isn't nearly as bad as I remember it — Oh, wait, yes it is.
I am thankful that circumstances, like sixth grade, are only temporary.
I am thankful for dedicated, knowledgeable, creative, patient and caring teachers who typically spend more waking hours with our kids each day than we do as parents.
I am thankful for the many, many, many volunteers who give of themselves and their time to lead after-school programs and activities; coach youth sports; lead Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Girl Scout groups; and minister to kids in church youth groups and Sunday School programs.
I am thankful for technology, for this current age of information and for the raw immediacy of 24-hour television and wireless Internet.
I am thankful for the permanence of print publications like books, newspapers and magazines that comprise the historical record and cannot be wiped clean, edited or manipulated after publication.
I am thankful for readers and for the opportunity to have served as a community news writer for the past six years, and, now, for the opportunity to pursue other interests, also from home — although, honestly, I'm not sure exactly what that will entail, because, as I recently told a former editor, "My kids make my brain full."
OK, that's more than 22. Your turn.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Selectman Jason Cole recently accepted a donation of nonperishable food items from Lebanon Cub Scout Pack 369. The donations will go to the Lebanon Food Pantry at First Parish Congregational Church on Center Road to help Lebanon families during the holiday season.
"Each year, it is a privilege to attend this meeting and see the hard work of all the Cub Scouts and their parents in helping their community," Cole said. "This year looks like it will be another very difficult year for families who are suffering with high heating costs, less income and higher costs for just about everything. Now, because of the generosity of these Cub Scouts, several families will have one less thing to worry about."
Cole noted that the Scouts increase in their efforts every year.
"Each year, they continue to increase the amount of food they collect, which is wonderful. The boy scouts in town really are involved in their community, and we really appreciate their support of such an important cause," he said.
The annual online auction to help raise money to send Lebanon Elementary School fifth-grade students to Ferry Beach Ecology School in Saco for four days and three nights next May will begin this Sunday, Nov. 25, and will wrap up Saturday, Dec. 1.
Auction items include various handmade items by local crafters; a one-night stay at the Tidewater Motel on Vinalhaven island; a $75 gift certificate to Studio East Motel in Ogunquit; a certificate for four passes for the Portland Sea Dogs; two passes to the Children's Theater and Museum of Maine; two season "flex" passes to the Hackmatack Playhouse; a round of golf at The Oaks; a round of golf for four at Lebanon Pines; two roundtrip vouchers for Amtrak's Downeaster; and a complete dinner for four to six people — consisting of chicken or eggplant Parmesan, tossed salad, bread and blueberry pie — prepared by the third-grade team.
To request more information, to preview items or to bid once the auction opens, go online to www.les5th.org.
Maine School Administrative District 60 pledged on Nov. 8 to enable the power management, or sleep mode, on all its computers, monitors and photocopying equipment — a measure that, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, has the potential to save up to $50 per computer each year.
"We are proud to be part of this effort to reduce the carbon footprint of our IT operations," said MSAD 60 IT Director Chris Russo. "The efficient use of computers and office electronics is not just good for our bottom line, it's good for the environment."
The district joins the ranks of leading businesses and organizations that are participating in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR Low Carbon IT Campaign, including Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc., Association of Bay Area Governments Energy Watch, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Dell, Inc., Fox Entertainment Group, Inc., HP, Microsoft, OfficeMax, City of Portland (OR) Public Schools, City of San Jose (CA), and Snohomish (WA) County Public Utility District.
"The EPA is pleased to recognize MSAD 60 as a participant in the ENERGY STAR Low Carbon IT Campaign," said ENERGY STAR Program Manager Steve Ryan. "By taking this simple pledge, we can make a substantial difference in the fight against global warming. ENERGY STAR's power management tools offer a cost-effective way to save energy, money, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions."
Power management enables computers and other equipment to go into a low-power sleep mode after a period of inactivity. Power management has the potential to save up to $50 per computer annually. Despite the significant savings, according to Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, only a scant five to ten percent of U.S. organizations have deployed these power saving settings.
If all computers, monitors, and office equipment in the U.S. were set to sleep when not being used, the EPA reports, the country could save more than 44 billion kWh or $4 billion worth of electricity and avoid the greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of about 5 million cars each year.
To join the campaign, organizations take an online pledge to activate power management features on their computers and electronics to save energy and reduce their carbon footprint. Organizations can increase energy savings further by purchasing ENERGY STAR qualified computers and monitors. In turn, the EPA provides free assistance to help implement power management, an estimate of the organization's energy and carbon savings, and official recognition from the agency.
For more information or to join the campaign, visit www.energystar.gov/lowcarbonit.
ENERGY STAR was introduced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1992 as a voluntary market-based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through increased energy efficiency. Today, ENERGY STAR offers businesses and consumers energy-efficient solutions to save energy, money and help protect the environment for future generations. More than 12,000 organizations are ENERGY STAR partners committed to improving the energy efficiency of products, homes, buildings and businesses.
Former Lebanon Schools teacher Bev Olean, who retired in June, has been appointed to serve on the Maine School Administrative District 60 board of directors for the remainder of the term vacated by former Lebanon school board member Cathy Nickerson.
The term expires on June 30, 2013.
Nickerson resigned earlier this month, according to school board meeting minutes, due to a change in residency.
Lebanon Schools' faculty, staff, students and families are currently collecting canned goods and nonperishable items for Christmas baskets that will be delivered to local families in need.
Donations will be accepted until Wednesday, Dec. 12.
The Lebanon Schools' annual "Giving Tree" campaign, which helps match gifts with boys or girls who may otherwise go without, has begun. Trees are located in the lobbies of both schools. For more information or to request a star, call Lebanon Schools at 457-1299.
Registration forms are now available for skiing and snowboarding at King Pine in Madison, N.H., on Friday nights, Jan. 4, Jan. 11, Jan. 18, Jan. 25, Feb. 1 and Feb. 8.
The six-week program is open to fourth- and fifth-grade students, their families, and interested members of the community. Older students are also welcome. Younger students must be accompanied by a parent. Up to three lessons are included for beginners.
Each time, the bus will leave Lebanon Elementary School at 3 p.m. and will return by 10:30 p.m.
For more information or to request a form, contact Shirley Mathews at (603) 285-5071.
The annual Scholastic Book Fair will be held at the Martha Sawyer Community Library at the Hanson School from Monday, Dec. 3 through Friday, Dec. 7.
The library will be open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; and Friday from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Parents are welcome during the day. Please stop at the office first for a Book Fair Visitor pass. Cash, credit cards and checks made payable to Lebanon Schools accepted. No sales tax.
The Lebanon Town Office will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 22, and Friday, Nov. 23, for the Thanksgiving holiday.
The Lebanon Board of Selectmen will meet in workshop sessions on Monday, Nov. 26, and Tuesday, Nov. 27, at 3:30 p.m. at the town office on Upper Guinea Road.
The Martha Sawyer Community Library is considering a group for moms and daughters. The group will begin with meeting moms first to discuss important issues, such as body image, peer pressure, marketing and more, using the materials donated by The University of Maine-Cooperative Extension in York County. Moms will then invite their daughters to meet with them to go over the material the groups has reviewed.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please email the library at email@example.com by Saturday, Dec. 1.
Great Brook Animal Care will hold a rabies clinic on Sunday, Dec. 9, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the East Lebanon Fire Station on Depot Road. The cost is $12.
2013 Dog Licenses are available at the Lebanon Town Office. The cost is $11 for unaltered animals and $6 for those that have been spayed or neutered. Please bring a current rabies certificate. For more information, call 457-6082.
Editor's Note. This is Andrea Rose's final column. Here at the Sanford News, we thank Andrea for all that she has done to bring Lebanon's news to our readers. We wish her good fortune and success in everything to which she will bring her talents in the future.

Offensive rebs fuels Atlanta's 75-67 over Mystics
WASHINGTON (AP) Erika DeSouza and Angel McCoughtry each scored 16 points and the Atlanta Dream won their fourth straight game with a 75-67 victory over the turnover-plagued Washington Mystics on Sunday.
Sancho Lyttle scored 10 of her 15 points in the fourth quarter and Tiffany Hayes had 14 for the Dream (7-3), who turned Washington's 21 turnovers into 21 points.
Washington trailed by 11 in the first half and tied the game three times after halftime, but never took the lead. Lyttle's scoring fueled a decisive 11-3 run starting with 3:48 remaining.
Atlanta outrebounded Washington 17-4 on the offensive boards and held an 18-0 advantage in second-chance points.
''Championships are won with good defense and good rebounding,'' Dream coach Michael Cooper said. ''I thought we did that right when we really needed it.''
Bria Hartley scored 13 points, Ivory Latta 12 and Monique Currie added 11 for the Mystics (5-6), who have lost four of five.
Atlanta finished with a 41-30 advantage on the boards after Washington had two more rebounds in the first half. The Dream grabbed seven offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter - two more than the Mystics had overall in the period.
''That's our strength. We're number one in offensive rebounding in this league,'' Cooper said. ''It finally came true in the fourth quarter when we were able to get some second and third shots.''
The Dream entered the first of four regular season matchups with Washington this season following Friday's 85-82 victory over the Minnesota Lynx in a rematch of the 2013 WNBA Finals.
Last year Atlanta won the season series from Washington 3-2 and then rallied to knock the Mystics out of the opening round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
The Dream, who host Washington on Wednesday, also controlled the boards in the postseason matchup, a point the Mystics were reminded of entering Sunday.
''They beat us last year in the playoffs. Coach (Mike Thibault) came in here and said how did they beat us? Rebounding,'' Latta said. ''So we should take this hard.''
McCoughtry had five rebounds, five assists, three steals and went 8 of 8 from the free throw line. The Dream took 18 more free throw attempts than the Mystics and finished with a 20-8 advantage from the line.
''We controlled the boards. Definitely the hustle plays,'' McCoughtry said of the keys to this victory. ''We kept our composure.''
Currie knew her side lost the battle of the boards, but didn't realize the one-sided nature until scanning the box score postgame.
''They get 17 offensive rebounds, Jesus,'' Currie slowly exclaimed, pausing after reading the number and comparing it to Washington's paltry total. ''If you're getting that many more extra shots than we did, that makes a huge difference and it did.''
Washington had 13 turnovers in the first half with several coming during Atlanta's 20-6 run. The Dream led 40-32 at halftime.

The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is a joint German-US space science project carrying a 2.5-metre telescope inside a modified Boeing 747SP.
In September 2011 I had the opportunity to visit SOFIA in Cologne (EDDK)
Thank you very much to Ed made this possible!
Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.

When I met my husband many moons ago, I had quite a bit of baggage that I brought into the relationship with me. I will go into all of that another day, but I was pleasantly surprised when Nick's family welcomed me in with open arms, not really caring at all about the baggage I had. They welcomed me without giving it a second thought. I can tell you this… they would have totally shunned the relationship if I was one thing, and that is a vegetarian! Being beef farmers, I think having a vegetarian in the family would have been a total deal breaker.
Last week I was contacted to be one of six food blog "ambassadors" for a new weekly challenge that has launched called "Beef – What's for Dinner Wednesdays". Each week, the Beef. It's What's For Dinner Facebook fan page will be updated with a new recipe to make. The challenge is to make the recipe and post your results on the Facebook fan page. Each person who participates will be entered into a drawing to win one of several really cool gift baskets which include The Healthy Beef Cookbook (which I've been using for months now and love!), a set of Crate & Barrel Grilling Tools, Sur La Table mini steak thermometers, a reusable shopping bag and other items to help you shop for and cook healthy beef meals. These drawings are happening each week (with several winners chosen each week) so your chances of bringing one of these cool prize packages is great! Check out the Beef. It's What's For Dinner fan page for more details!
This week's recipe was a Cajun Beef Southwestern Salad. I made a few changes. First of all, we aren't big fig fans around here, so I totally omitted that. Plus, I used sunflower salad nuts instead of pistachios, simply because that's what I had on hand. Oh, and I used Romaine lettuce… again because it was what I had in the fridge. The salad had quite a kick to it and I loved it. The kiddos weren't big fans, but I think that is because it was too zesty for them. I LOVED this dressing and can envision more salad creations to use it on!
Make sure you check out the Facebook fan page to read all the details about how you can start participating. Next week's recipe sounds so delicious… East Meets West Burgers. Yum!
