Well I've been MIA for a year now, working on all kinds of projects but never taking the time to log in, so I figured it was time for an update! The house renovation project has been a roller coaster of emotion- some days you are up, some down. Progress moves very quickly at times, other times grinds to a complete halt. The factors involved usually boil down to who you can get to work consistently on an array of specific projects and how much money you have available to throw at them. These factors are changing all the time. Everyone who works for us has several side jobs, obligations, and not to mention families, (haha) so it has been difficult to achieve 100% consistent progress. It can be emotionally draining when things are not moving along at a decent pace, and new problems are continually being uncovered!

It's a weekday evening and you're feeling restless. You're texting friends and you're watching Netflix and you're on your laptop and you're scrolling through Tumblr or Facebook or Instagram or Twitter. Your attention is in ten different directions, yet there's a tug, a tiny voice in the back of your mind. It asks: what are you distracting yourself from? You ignore. Scroll again. Click again.
Then, you two text all night. Netflix on in the background. Computer on your lap. Scroll. Click. Scroll. Click. Refresh. Scroll. Click. Text.
Well, faithful readers.. i'm sure you have been wondering where I've been these last few weeks, and I shall tell you. First, we took a little vacation to the beach, and second, I got a job. Now that fall is moving in I'll be working a lot less. I'm hoping to post more with the extra downtime. I've never worked at a restaurant before and I really enjoy it. It also helps to be working with an awesome team. I feel like I have a second family! The work is fast paced and social, so the day usually goes by quickly. We all look out for one another and function really well as a team. I never thought I'd like it as much as I do! Not to mention, we serve up some really tasty dishes, with plenty for vegans or vegematarians.
…But where are the tomatoes?!
This year my first garden ever gave a decent yield, of certain veggies!
The butternut squash are coming in and should be ready to pick soon.
I had to do a little research to know when they are ready to pick. The squash should be about 8-12 inches long. The size of the squash can depend on the richness of the soil. When the stem to the fruit turns brown and looks like it is drying up, that means the plant said "OK, YOU'VE BEEN CUT OFF!" And stops sending nutrients to the fruit. You can also press your nail into the skin of the fruit, which should be pale orange. If the skin resists puncture, snip the stem. The squash can be stored for up to 3 months in a cool dark place!
Here is some fat n' juicy basil! We love making caprese salad with this fresh herb.
Here we have some of my pepper harvest. The peppers and squash seemed to do the best this year. These were called "multicolored sweet bell pepper" by the person who harvested the seeds from her garden. I was a bit confused because they look rather homogeneous in color! I need to get down to the bottom of this! Is there anyone who may be able to help with this conundrum? I've been searching the web, but to no avail.
The TOMATOES, are also still green. Over half of them got the "blight" and died. What is this blight thing? From my research, it is a fungal disease that is more prevalent in wet weather. This makes sense because the beds that I had in front of the house ALL got the blight, where the beds in back are still fine. The beds in the front get more shade and rain that pours off the house. The beds in the back get full sun all the time, and have better drainage. I really don't want to spray the daylights out of my plants… I think that next year I will avoid blight by planting only in the back beds, crop rotation, and being informed about weather patterns. I haven't had to water the garden for a month because we've had so much rain! Another precaution would be to find blight resistant varieties. Here's a list I grabbed off of "growveg.com" that may be worth looking into!
Defiant – Determinate (bush) plants produce round, medium size red fruits, rated at 70 days to maturity.
Iron Lady – Determinate (bush) plants produce round, medium size red fruits, rated at 75 days to maturity.
Jasper – Tall indeterminate (cordon) plants bear trusses of red cherry tomatoes starting 60 days after planting. An All America Selections winner and RHS Award of Merit.
Lemon Drop – Indeterminate (cordon) plants bear hundreds of small yellow-green tomatoes in 80 to 90 days. Open-pollinated heirloom variety, a sport of 'Snow White' cherry.
Matt's Wild Cherry – Sprawling indeterminate (cordon) plants bear scads of tiny red cherry tomatoes starting 55 to 60 days after planting. Open-pollinated heirloom from Mexico.
Mountain Magic – Vigorous indeterminate (cordon) large red cherry tomatoes, rated at 75 days to maturity.
Mountain Merit – Determinate plants produce large red round fruits about 75 days after planting. An All-America Selection winner.
Mr. Stripey – Indeterminate (cordon) plants produce medium size round fruits marbled with red and yellow in about 80 days. Open pollinated heirloom.
Plum Regal – Determinate plants produce red plum tomatoes weighing 3 to 4 ounces each, rated at 80 days to maturity.
And why are they still green?
Well, I think there are several reasons. 1st, I planted late. 2nd, it has been cooler than years past. And 3rd, I do not have any tunnel system to compensate for cool mountain weather. What are these high tunnels and low tunnels? Well, a picture is worth a thousand words.
This looks very easy to make. Stay tuned for next year!
In the meantime… I'm preparing the back beds, with… carpet?
Yeah! We got the idea from a landscaper friend. I am smothering the tall grass and weeds with old carpet from the farm house. The weeds and grass will be deprived of light and water and die off naturally. WHAT A CRUEL WORLD!! But it will save ME labor in the long run! Should I let the carpet rot as well? Or might the carpet have weird chemicals in it? I am a bit concerned. Any suggestions?
Well that's all from the garden!
Summer squash, such as zucchini and yellow squash, are rich in vitamins, calcium and potassium. Cut off the ends, then cut to fit into the juicer. Squash is best when combined with other juices, since by itself it is rather bland.
Well, I prefer the term "mild" instead of bland. 😉 We also had quite a few other fruits and vegetables that needed to be used up, so we created this healthy "hodgepodge" juice recipe!
University Permaculture classes – all you need, for free!
This past weekend I spent some time messing around on the interwebs to find some resources about permaculture, particularly for newcomers.
Each lecture is over an hour long, and I've already watched the first and took extensive notes. These are REAL college classes that have been recorded and made free to the public. This is absolutely what I was looking for as a complete beginner! One can even take part in the homework if desired, however a couple of texts will be necessary in order to participate.
Back online and full of inspiration!
As if I didn't have enough to write about with my road trip to the Rainbow gathering, Summer is in full swing and our property is bearing lots of fruit!
The bottom photo is of a load of purslane we harvested, which is considered a "weed" in the United States, but It tops the list of plants high in vitamin E and an essential omega-3 fatty acid called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Purslane provides six times more vitamin E than spinach and seven times more beta carotene than carrots. It's also rich in vitamin C, magnesium, riboflavin, potassium and phosphorus… and most people are just weeding it and tossing it away!!
I was so excited about this tasty and nutritious edible that I knew I had to learn more about it and many others! Lucky for me, a friend hooked me up with some amazing folks and I was able to catch the tail end of an eco/herbal/permaculture/foraging etc etc. weekend event that just so happened to be 30 miles away from me! I was absolutely INSPIRED by some of the most informed, thoughtful, passionate, and genuine people I have had the honor to meet, ever! With all of the ideas and information I learned there, I feel my love for biology has been rekindled, and my resolve to be a kickass gardener and steward of the earth is now solidified… and this is just the tip of the iceberg! I may be jumping the gun, but I see wholeness and serenity on the horizon. I'm also feeling a profound respect for life and the complex and divine and systems within our natural world. I am so grateful for the people who take the time to notice and expound upon the intricacies and grand symbiosis that has been going on since man ever wondered "why". Is it possible to feel so small and trivial and yet so vastly important at once?
More garden success and failure stories!
And more exciting baby builder projects, like an outdoor railing and shrine structure using re-purposed materials!
I'm back from my road trip and the Rainbow gathering! However, the internet here has been terrible as of late, so I can't publish my epic story and photos yet! I've been on the phone with the ISP, got a new modem, etc. But I'm still getting intermittent service and it is VERY frustrating! I'll be calling first thing tomorrow morning to get the issue straightened out.
There are a few things that worry me. My car is in good shape but I'll be packing in over FOUR THOUSAND MILES, so I'll need to get an oil change on the drive home. We also haven't 100% nailed down where we will be sleeping each night en route, but we do have a few friends who are putting us up. Thanks, guys! I can't wait to see you!
We've basically got 2/3 planned out and 1/3 WINGIN' IT! 🙂 But a little wingin' is part of the fun!
Yesterday some negative information about the gathering was all over the internet. It was hard to read, mainly because there's no turning back now!! I read that police can be hostile and there are some thieves and addicts that cause trouble, but I'm trying to keep an open mind and make up my opinions from my own personal experiences. BUT I'm bringing a whistle and pepper spray. HA.
I hope that I can meet some like minded individuals who love humanity like I do. I feel that life is too short, so we need to love and appreciate one another HERE and NOW. Go out and spread your light today! Say something nice to someone random, I guarantee you will make their day, or even week. Some folks never get any compliments, some folks are hurting or going through a rough time. It's up to us to lookout for our fellow humans and treat each other with kindness and respect. I'm hoping that this gathering AND road trip will solidify my beliefs. AMEN!

Format : English Subtitled
He was Ogami Itto, the official Shogunate executioner. Now he is a wandering assassin, stripped of his land and titles. All he has left is his son Daigoro, his two swords, and the burning desire to exact revenge upon the evil Yagyu, who murdered his wife and framed him for heresy. He is no longer Ogami Itto; he is the assassin they call "Lone Wolf and Cub!"
In this, the final film, the evil Lord Yagyu Retsudo, having failed in his previous attempts to eliminate Ogami, deploys his ultimate weapons; his daughter, Kaori, his stepson, Hyouei, and Hyouei's supernatural warriors, who are capable of moving through the earth as if it were water.
If they fail, Retsudo knows that he will have no choice but to unleash the entire remaining might of the Yagyu Clan upon Ogami. Outnumbered by more than 1000 to 1, Ogami will surely die. If he survives, it will be because he has slain every warrior in the Yagyu Clan.
Once again, Ogami Itto and his son are about to enter the Crossroads to Hell. But this time, they may not return!

Originally, the cake was supposed to supposed to be served with apricots poached in Sauternes. Although I did poach the fruit, I decided not to photograph the cake accompanied by the apricots because the cake was too beautiful on its own to have something in the photo competing with it.
The flavor of this cake is quite intense because of the addition of freshly ground coriander. It reminds me, in the best way possible of course, of the three kings and the gifts that they brought along with them- gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
It is a gorgeous cake, very regal. It is definitely an impressive dessert both in flavor and in appearances, so it would be a great thing to showcase the end of a carefully planned meal or as a holiday gift.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 9-by-2-inch cake pan. Remove from heat and cool briefly. Sprinkle the teaspoon of sugar evenly over butter and add sliced almonds. Set pan aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulverize pistachios with 1/4 cup of flour, as finely as possible. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to incorporate. Sift together 3/4 cup flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat into batter. Mix in pistachio-flour mixture and ground cardamom. Transfer to prepared cake pan, spreading carefully over almonds. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely. Overturn onto a cake plate.

Why the White House is selling off buildings that are built on recycled materials
Breitbart News—the political news organization that is the intellectual leader of the alt-right movement—is a media partner of The Daily Beast.
The publication is owned by Media Matters for America, a left-wing group that is also funded by billionaire George Soros and the billionaire hedge fund billionaire George Mason University.
It has long been one of the top sources of anti-Trump misinformation.
This year, however, it was hit with a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, which accused the White Houses website of promoting "propaganda that has no basis in fact."
The lawsuit alleged that the website promoted false information and "further distorted the facts" in order to promote its "hate-filled agenda."
The site was also accused of engaging in "false and misleading advertising."
This year the ACLU also asked the courts to intervene in the case.
In a court filing on February 5, the ACLU's lawyers argued that the White houses website "has a chilling effect on speech that might otherwise have been protected under the First Amendment" and that it "promotes falsehoods that are false, and is intended to further a political agenda."
Breitbart News' decision to remove all of its publications from the White house website comes as a result of the ACLU lawsuit.
Breitbart News has long opposed the Trump administration's plans to remove the Confederate battle flag from the nation's capitol, and in recent weeks it has argued that removing the flag would be "one of the most dangerous and destructive acts that the country has seen in our lifetimes."
Breitbart has consistently supported a diverse and progressive agenda, and its publications have been the driving force behind the alt right movement that seeks to "purge the country of political correctness."
On March 12, Breitbart News published a series of articles by alt-righters arguing that removing Confederate flags from the capitol building would "break the hearts" of white people.
"For as long as we live, it will be the biggest thing to happen to the white race in history," wrote one of those articles.
"The battle flag will become a symbol of white supremacy.
It will be an ugly symbol of how much you hated and hated the Southern heritage."
The article continued, "There will be no other place in America where this kind of hate and violence will be accepted.
It is the symbol of the white supremacist movement.
We are a minority in this country, and this flag is an extension of that.
It symbolizes that we are not the majority in America."
"When the president's administration puts out an ad that says that the Confederate flag is a symbol that is a 'symbol of white supremacism,' he is saying that we have lost, and we need to get rid of the flag, he is taking a step backward and a step forward," Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large and senior editor-at, Andrew Kaczynski told Breitbart News.
"We have an opportunity to make a statement, and that is to remove this flag from every building that is owned or operated by the Whitehouse.
It was not just an ad, it is a policy statement.
And that's why we're putting this article up."
The ACLU complaint against Breitbart News came just days after the WhiteHouse.gov website, which was the official site of the White, House, and Cabinet departments, went down for maintenance.
The Trump administration has been criticized for failing to properly inform people of the ongoing maintenance on the site.
The White House has yet to comment on the ACLU suit.
Breitbart has been among the leading outlets of the Trump alt-left, which has been a vocal critic of the administration, including during the presidential campaign.
Breitbart had previously criticized the administration for its "poverty, crime, and inequality agenda."
"The president is putting his own political interests ahead of the interests of the American people," Breitbart senior editor, Joel Pollak, told Breitbart in March 2017.
"This is a massive mistake.
It's not just a simple matter of removing the flags, but the whole agenda that the president is pushing is wrong and dangerous.
It threatens the future of the country.
And the administration has no idea how to handle this."
The WhiteHouse is owned and operated by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., and News Corp. has donated to several political campaigns, including former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign.
The News Corp.-owned site is the second most visited website on the Trump campaign, behind Breitbart News, according to data provided by the Internet Archive.
The site also has a huge following among Trump's most vocal supporters, who have been repeatedly calling out the media outlets coverage of the president and the alt left.

Egg Roll House Menu This is Why I Rely on Whole House Water Filters, Where do Chicago musicians eat? It's hard you can eat healthy driving under the influence off work after midnight. Most places that are open forever offer poor, high sodium, high fat foods. Skewerz will be the exception. They are open in the week until 2 am and until 5 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. The food is fresh, healthy and delicious and affordable.
The absolute need of the day is Life Insurance. This type you can't do without, it provides you with peace of mind as you understand that inside unfortunate event of your death, your family do not need to manage any immediate monetary difficulty. The simplest and cheapest type is term policy which requires one to pay an extremely small premium and promises to pay a substantial (sum assured) amount after your death. For people with young or new born children or for that matter those who have elderly parents who're influenced by them this is a smart decision. Other policies like endowment and entire life policies will also be something you can have a look at by comparing various premium quotes (easily done online).
Of course, it all depends on how much work a specific home needs and your geographical area. My company operates in a substantial urban area the location where the cost of living is as high as anywhere in the united states. Depending on the sort of existing wiring, we charge $4-$6 per square foot of home that really needs rewiring. If you live in the cheaper part of the continent, of course, you can anticipate for less money.
You don't want to rub someone the wrong manner along with be afraid to work with contracts. This is when you're partnering with someone on a deal. Contracts really are a a part of our society, so don't hesitate to make use of them and browse them thoroughly. I know because I once signed a wholesale contract in which I was the owner and it didn't say anything about me receiving a deposit. When selling a property, as a wholesaler, you usually get a deposit with a contract.
The Open House concept is an innovative and all sorts of encompassing idea. The notion that everyone can check out the participating buildings no matter age, race, creed or income level makes it particularly appealing. The structures that open their doors to visitors benefit too from an elevated appreciation. Some of these classic architectural feats have stood set up for centuries, and therefore are finally sharing their wonder with the public again. With the newer buildings, some that have only been unveiled, it's the perfect possiblity to showcase what makes them so spectacular, and why the finished product was worth the wait.
OMG! The Best Egg Roll House Menu Ever!


If we're talking longevity, Bill 'Fatback' Curtis is your man. Trail blazer, lover of music and worshipper of the funk.
Fatback Band's prolific turnout glorified the amalgamation of jazz beats with New Orleans funk. Their honeyed melodies, slippery rhythms and slick licks offer a hefty dose of eclectic funk.
We spoke to the Bill Curtis ahead of their very first trip to Australia about the current state of music, the universal understanding of funk and the secrets of Fatback and Bill Curtis.
Bill Curtis. The one and only (laughs).
Oh great, I'm doing wonderful. You're the first female I've had call. You sound good! You don't have a heavy accent!
That's good, you can understand my curly words. I actually started my morning with 'Groovy Kind Of Day'. It was a beautiful start to my day!
(Laughs) It is a groovy kind of day here in Melbourne. You're coming out for your first trip to Australia, that's pretty monumental. Do you have any expectations?
My first visit in my life. I'm excited. No, no, no I don't know what to expect. I do not know. All I know, you speak English. I can communicate (laughs). I get worried when I can't always communicate.
But everyone understands the groove though?
They understand the funk!(Laughs) They understand the funk.
What can we await to see on stage at these Australian shows?
You can never have any idea of what to expect.
I'm going to be at Meredith [Music Festival] show having a boogie in the crowd.
We just play the music. We're a dance band. We play dance music.
The more you party, the more we get down. The problem comes when you don't party, then the band can't party. But when I see you party hard, then I party hard.
Well I will most definitely be partying hard. You played for many, many years before forming Fatback Band in 1971. Did your prior experience inform much of what you went on to do? Or was the band a platform for you to explore completely new things?
Well, when I was playing with other bands, one thing I learnt was how to treat musicians. I made sure I didn't treat my musicians the way they was treating us at the time [before Fatback formed]. I wanted to make sure my band knew that I appreciated them. The people I played for, they thought that they didn't need a band. But, you're no greater than the band behind you. And I wanted my musicians to always know that they were apart of the show and they made me.
That's what I learnt out there with other musicians. But I took all the experience that I had, and put it in my Fatback Band.
Was it a new place for you to explore musically?
No, no, no, I just had so much music stuffed in my head.
So you had to get it out?
Yeah, you know, when we record, we never know what we're gonna do. We're recording tomorrow. We go in the studio, set up and say, 'what we gon' do?' And everybody look at me and I start playing, then I start singing and they just start making music behind what I'm doing. When you have a bunch of musicians that are all on the same page, it works right. Like magic.
Is this the new album that you're going into record?
Yes, we have some new music out. I have a lot of new music out. I have about three or four albums that you've never heard before.
Oh wow! Will we get to hear them?
No, you won't hear any of the new stuff [on the Australian tour] because we have so many tunes that you wanna hear before we get to the new stuff! If we were on the stage for maybe three hours, I would play some new music. I could play for about two hours… it would take me about two hours to get through all the hits.
I don't have no room to play the new stuff (laughs). If there was a new song that you were familiar with then maybe I would throw it in there. It makes for a dull show for me to be playing new music all the time. People [in Australia] have been waiting to hear the hits for a long time.
How did you get started in music? Was there someone that gave you a push in the right direction or was it always something you were drawn to?
It's something that I've been doing all my life. I have never done anything else. I've only done music all my life, ever since the age of six.
What did you play when you were six-years-old?
I started playing keyboard, playing piano. My mother played piano. We had a piano in our house. When you live in a neighbourhood and there's only one piano in that neighbourhood, people who know how to play the piano always stop by your house. I would have a lot of musicians in and out of the house playing. My mother… my mother. She wasn't what you would call a pianist, herself. She studied and she made sure that the music teacher that was teaching her, started with me when I was six. Music is the only thing I've been doing all my life.
I think it's a pretty good thing to do.
Yeah, I mean, the state of music is very different now than when you were starting out. What do you think about current music and current musicians?
Most of the people that call themselves musicians are not musicians. They just make some beats and stuff. I went to school and music was my livelihood. I realised I had to go and study music. If you want to make a living you have to learn how to read music and write music. That's what I went to school do to.
Musicians of today, they're doing good, they're making some money, but, in music, it's the long haul. It's not the short haul. It's the people who put in that time and those years. Those are the ones that will make it. The short term: that flash in the night, that's fame. Fame don't last. If you haven't put in that time, don't expect any big rewards.
It's that long haul. You build your career… there's a difference between fame and a career, you know? After that one record, when the fame disappears, you don't have nothing to fall back on. If you have a musical background and an education in music, you can always fall back on that.
A little advice from Bill Curtis! You said in an interview once that, 'it's not enough to be good, you have to be great.' Who are some of the greats of this day?
I can't think of no great ones. Michael Jackson was the last of the great ones. Stevie Wonder is the last of the great ones… you'd wanna say that. But the new breed, I don't see any great ones. You've either got to be like Michael Jackson or Stevie Wonder today, but we don't have any of those popping up.
You've released 50 or so albums over the years, which is an incredible accomplishment. What is your creative process like?
It comes out as it comes out. Whatever it is. Now, I just do whatever pops up in my head. Let's put it this way, I like to do things that you don't expect Fatback to play. That's the kind of stuff I like to do now. You think to yourself, is that Fatback? No, that couldn't be Fatback! That's what I like to do now. Matter-a-fact, I don't even record that much under Fatback nowadays, I record under just the name: Bill Curtis… and friends! I don't want to confuse. When you hear Fatback you think, funk and soul, but when you hear Bill Curtis, you might hear anything.
What sort of music have you released recently under Bill Curtis?
I have about 15 albums, maybe 10 albums under Bill Curtis and friends. Everything new comes out under Bill Curtis and friends. The new music world, the hardest thing nowadays is getting people to hear your music. There's so much music to pick from we get washed up in the mix. Everybody gets washed up in the mix. You've gotta go looking to find new music.
New music is always exciting!
Yeah some new stuff! My band is new too. I'm the only old member in the band.
Oh really?! Does it feel strange that you're the only original?
No, no, no most of the original cast, you know, they're tired. Their health won't allow them to do it. As long as my health is good I'm gonna be out there doing it. I'm not gonna sit around and not play music when I'm able to play music.
Well I am very excited that you are coming out to Australia and we get a chance to hear the Bill Curtis.
I'm just mad because we're not there long enough! I hope we can get back there, I hope it's not our last trip.
Meredith is a very special place to play too! Can you tell me something about Fatback that the world doesn't know?
(Laughs) What about Bill Curtis?
Bill Curtis been around so long, every time someone say my name, they say, 'is he still alive?! He's still alive!! My grandma used to talk about him, is he still here?' (Laughs).
And you say, of course, the one, the only, he's still here.
(Laughs) He's still here. I'm gonna tell you something that they don't know about. They don't know that I'm still kicking and I'm still playing and I still love it!

In June 2013, world-renowned climber Conrad Anker and his step-son, National Geographic Young Explorer Max Lowe, approached Denali's massive West Buttress. This was Max's first time on a multi-week expedition at altitude. He was there to document the trip and learn as much as he could. For Conrad, this was an opportunity to impart a lifetime of knowledge to the next generation of mountaineer. Here, father and son recount their time on North America's tallest peak from their own unique perspectives.
In the 24 years since I first climbed Denali, my identity as a mountaineer has changed dramatically. My first ascent was under the tutelage of the great Mugs Stump. We were collecting rocks for a scientific study of the peak's uplift. As we hauled granite from the summit to base camp, he taught me the nuances of alpine climbing and, more important, the art of living comfortably in a harsh climate.
As my mentor, Mugs passed on skills that enabled me to make a lifestyle and ultimately a career out of climbing. In pursuit of the world's tallest peaks, I met alpinist Alex Lowe. Together we climbed the walls of Yosemite, explored hidden summits in Kyrgyzstan, stood upon windswept peaks in Antarctica, and prevailed on a memorable expedition to Denali in 1995. Through the joy of exploring the untamed wild, we became best friends.
Ten years after I first climbed Denali, Alex was swept to his death by an avalanche on Shishapangma in Tibet. As a survivor I was given a second chance. I realized my life was about being: about being there for family, being in the moment, and being happy with who I am. The being came to include Alex's widow, Jennifer, and their three sons, Max, Sam, and Isaac. Jenni and I wed in 2001.
I never pushed the children into serious mountaineering. It was a loaded subject in our house. Out of respect for Jenni and her loss of Alex, I kept climbing to myself. Perhaps the boys saw it as my work, not as something fun. So when Max suggested we do Denali in the summer of 2013 I was surprised and excited.
Making my way into the high mountains of this world alongside my stepdad, Conrad, seemed inevitable, but Denali was admittedly a daunting way to get started. As an adventure photographer I've been growing my quiver of experience and skill over the last several years, but the one thing I had yet to embark upon was an extended high-altitude expedition. This is a premier field where there are no staged shots and no redos, and often you must go above and beyond your teammates, putting yourself at greater risk to best capture the story.
I'd grown up exploring the mountains of Montana but I'd yet to haul a bunch of camera gear up anything that compared to Denali. Still, the tallest peak in North America held an irresistible appeal.
On a personal level, to enter into the realm of high peaks would be to set foot in the sphere of my father, Alex Lowe, and now stepfather, Conrad, two of the most renowned mountaineers in the world. Climbing Denali was an aspiration and summons that struck me hard. Reaching the summit would be one of the grander things I'd accomplished alongside Conrad in my life.

The immense Alaska Range, with Denali as the crown of the continent, has drawn adventurers of all stripes. One hundred years ago, on the seventh of June, a team of sourdoughs—a type of rustic homesteader settling Alaska during the gold rush—planted a birch pole on the summit so that the ensuing bar bet about whether or not the mountain could be climbed would be settled without dispute. Over the years, Denali has seen new routes forged on the steeper faces, but Max, while physically fit, lacked the experience necessary to tackle the more technical climbs. If we were going to do this, it would need to be on the popular West Buttress route, where he would face sufficient challenge without unnecessary risk.
Pioneered in 1946 by Brad Washburn, the West Buttress route is the most popular way to reach Denali's summit. Due to the inevitable congestion from guided groups, seasoned alpinists consider the route "not real" climbing. For the ski mountaineer, however, it's just about perfect. With manageable terrain, solid granite, palpable altitude, and a safe path to the summit, Denali has become a rite of passage for the ski mountaineering community, and I was eager for Max to experience it.
The West Buttress is basically an extreme hike on snow and ice. There are a few steps that require patience and precision, but the most difficult element is dragging the heavy sled. Max's sled would be loaded with arctic-worthy clothing, tents, stoves, food, climbing gear, and all his camera equipment.
For ski mountaineers, the route is a formidable physical challenge, and he would be hauling more than just the bare essentials. But with good weather and the social atmosphere of the route, we would essentially be in for a vacation.
Preparing for Denali might as well have been like preparing to go to the moon. I really had no idea what to expect beyond what I'd heard and read about the place. I dedicated my winter to backcountry skiing. When the snow subsided, I set out into the mountains on foot to maintain my fitness, hiking with heavy packs to prepare my body for long days under duress.
Due to some well-timed story pitches, Denali opened the doors for my first major projects with National Geographic Adventure and Snowboarder Magazine. The pressure to make sure I did a good job as a journalist was built on top of my fears that I might not be prepared physically and mentally to even summit the peak.
Before our trip, I felt conditioned for a long backcountry skiing mission but was completely unsure if that was what I needed to survive on Denali. I just kept thinking to myself, People die on Denali all the time.
When Conrad mentioned that he'd invited along a few of his friends, some of my safety concerns subsided. But it only compounded my fear of being under-skilled and incapable of carrying out my duties as part of the expert team, which would be made up of athletes accustomed to working with world-class photographers.
Climbers typically arrive at Denali via single-engine bush plane, specially equipped with a ski-capable landing gear to land directly on one of its giant glaciers.

Mugs was adamant that before a trip to the Himalaya one had to climb Denali and Yosemite's El Capitan. The Alaska part of the deal provided the alpine and climatic experience, while the technical routes in Yosemite, in fair weather, were the foundation for the steeper terrain. In 1989 I was his apprentice on a route he had climbed numerous times before—an opportunity to gain confidence, find my potential, and learn efficiency tips from a seasoned expert.
Twenty-four years later, it was my turn to pay it forward. I realized how significant the trip I had with Mugs had been and that it was now my turn to give something back to the next generation. My aspiration for the trip was safe passage. If we made it back after three weeks on Denali, Max and I would be richer in experience and closer as father and son. And I didn't want the experience to be exclusive.
In pulling together a team, I knew I needed to recruit climbers with similar experience and motivation. Jon Krakauer, Phil Henderson, and Kasha Rigby were all friends with whom I'd been on expedition. And Jeremy Jones, a legend in the world of snowboarding and big-mountain adventure, had always entertained my idea of one day teaming up on a project. They all accepted the invitation, eager to help usher in a new generation of explorers.
Then, at the winter 2012 Outdoor Retailer trade show, I met urban-skater-turned-snowboarder and ambassador for The North Face Ryan Hudson. Within minutes I offered him the opportunity to join our Denali expedition. Initially a little hesitant because he didn't have mountaineering experience, Ryan joined on my assurance that he had the depth to embark on a journey of this magnitude. He shared this exuberance for an unknown adventure with eight other eager young skiers, riders, and climbers who agreed to join our party.
The unknowns of glaciated alpine terrain, high altitude, and the risk of extreme weather were all part of the excitement for our little tribe. Witnessing Max and the youngsters experience Denali for the first time would be a chance to revisit my youth. It would also be an opportunity for me to share what I do for a living with my son.
My dad might not be able to cook much beyond stir-fry, but he has the ability to pull together a group of some of the most adept mountain athletes with not much more than a few phone calls. Our team consisted of 14 fellow athletes and some of the most exceptional people I know. Upon my arrival in Anchorage we met up with our group. I bunked with new friend Ryan Hudson, a young man with an amazing story. Growing up homeless on the streets of San Diego, he was introduced to snowboarding through an outdoor outreach program and within several years had become an extremely talented athlete. For Ryan, this trip would also be breaching new bounds.
Flying into the Alaska Range was one of the most amazing things I have experienced to date. Looking down from the windows of our single-engine Otter aircraft and watching the carpet-like expanse of pines gradually rise into jaggedly immense and phantomlike peaks was mesmerizing. We touched down on the lower Kahiltna Glacier amid clear blue skies with visibility as far as the eye could see.
The team disembarked and immediately got into high gear. Within the hour we were pushing into the sunset. Walking in the foreign and desolate landscape of the Kahiltna as the midnight sun lit our path was a shocking entrance into this world we would inhabit for the next three weeks. With 80-pound packs and heavily laden sleds, we walked through the night and to our first camp consumed by the wonder and grace of the mountain.
A storm cloud develops to the south of Denali. Climbers, laden with metal ski poles, carabiners, and ice axes, are particularly mindful of these types of systems.
Kahiltna Pass on a clear day offers climbers a spectacular view: the tundra to the north and the majestic Mount Foraker—wife to Denali—to the southeast and everywhere a maze of glaciers pulling the mountains slowly to the sea. Stopping for a moment to soak it all in, I reflected on my first time climbing the mountain with Mugs. Had it really been 24 years?
Bathed in perpetual sunlight, we never needed headlamps to navigate and were treated to a sunset-to-sunrise transition that lasted six hours each day. The pastel colors lighting up the sky were our joy and, at times, the bane of our days. It was on such a morning, with purple skies, that we set out for the summit.
Our crystal-clear weather was dashed by 8 a.m. due to thick cumulus buildup from a heat wave to the south. Confronted with a mountain nearly four miles tall, the humid air condensed, creating a ferocious summer storm. The cumulus towered over us as we made it to the Football Field, a landmark just below the summit. As we made it to the summit ridge, the air crackled with electricity and the snow blew at us sideways. Our skis and ice tools were alive with electricity and it sounded like there was a swarm of bees trying to nest in our hoods. This summer storm had turned the cards in the mountain's favor. We were merely flies on an anvil with a steel hammer about to descend on us.
We huddled, ditched our lightning rods, and assessed the situation. Throughout the expedition I'd made a point of reinforcing the youths' confidence by dismissing potentially frightening challenges with an "It's not that bad" or "I've seen worse." This time, scared for the whole team, I was lost for words. Did Max realize the direness of our situation?
Steps away from the summit ridge, exhausted and beaten to my last reserves, the thunder rumbled deep and guttural. The huge, tumultuous clouds that had been sitting below the horizon line now boiled up and around us, suddenly taking on a purple hue and rippling with the threat of a strong storm. In a matter of minutes conditions went from sunny blue skies and a light breeze to hard snow and terrifying electricity that danced along our ice axes, carabiners, and anything else metal we had on our persons.
Our team gathered in the Football Field and regrouped. There was talk of waiting out the storm and not going up and over Archdeacons—the route down—because of the lightning. But Conrad said plainly, "We need to get out of here now. If the snow continues and temperatures drop, we're going to be lost in this storm and freeze." It was one of the first times that I had seen my dad truly on edge and I knew we were in a serious situation.
Alpine climbing is inherently risky. Having lost my father, Alex, to an avalanche in the Tibetan Himalaya in 1999 that was triggered high on the mountain above by natural causes largely unforeseeable, I know the potential consequences of it all too well. I also know the effect the risks that we take have on the people around us, and as we slowly moved off the mountain and down through the worsening storm, I thought of my mom, my brothers, and all the people I love.

The choice to turn around was simple. It affected us at the most primal part of our brains. The decision was autonomic—not much of a debate; rather, the body signaling to the brain that self-preservation was of highest priority. Even Max, hungry for the summit, embraced the decision without question.
We marched back to 17 Camp, enduring the wind-whipped snow. I hardly noticed any dejection or remorse. Each climber silently adjusted his or her harness, cinched down his or her pack, and began the 3,000-foot descent to 14 Camp. The following morning we recounted the disorientation of being in the middle of a cloud. The happiness that the climbers shared in spite of having to turn back was amazing. It rang true that the summit isn't everything.
After 28 days and several thousand feet skiing on Denali, we came away happy. The experience of a demanding environment allowed us to understand our own potential. I was able to pay forward the mentorship that a friend had invested in me decades ago. And the youths on our journey will continue to push the boundaries of what is possible and one day find themselves offering their experience and guidance to the next generation.
Enjoying a moment of alone time at camp, I thought back to Alex's last MountainZone.com dispatch from our ill-fated expedition to Shishapangma.
"Thinking back to yesterday, I appreciate why I come to the mountains; not to conquer them but to immerse myself in their incomprehensible immensity—so much bigger than we are; to better comprehend humility and patience balanced in harmony, with the desire to push hard; to share what the hills offer and to share it in the long term with good friends and ultimately my own sons."
He was never able to fulfill his dream of sharing what the hills have to offer with his sons.
Hey, man. I've got your back. We covered this one.
I stood alone outside of camp watching the moon hanging above the massive expanse of Mount Foraker; the steam of my breath froze to my eyebrows in the boundless and blanketing silence of the electrified twilight. The untamed immensity and foreboding beauty surrounding me, swallowing me up, and dwarfing my very existence, was overwhelming.
But one thing was clear: Being with my dad in the mountains, I felt like I was able to see more into who he is as a person than anywhere else. It's so obvious that immersed in the extreme solitude, ice, snow, and austerity that the wild corners of the world hold he is truly at home.
Denali is a huge mountain and an amazing physical and mental challenge to anyone fit or flabby. But the risk involved in being at high altitude is a beast of a wilder and more unpredictable breed. I didn't reach the summit of Denali this time. But being able to recognize the line and have the strength to turn away from it is a lesson I will never forget.
North Face-sponsored athlete Conrad Anker is the Michael Jordan of mountaineering. He has pioneered routes up the most demanding faces in the world. In May of 1999, as a member of the Mallory & Irvine Research Expedition, he discovered the body of George Mallory on Mount Everest. The discovery and analysis of the preeminent explorer of the 1920s has shed new light on one of climbing's greatest mysteries. Anker serves on the boards of Protect Our Winters (POW), the Rowell Fund for Tibet, Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation, and the Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation.

Cast interview: Ryan Carroll
The Grand Duke is opening soon, and we are getting excited to bring you this super fun show! We're also excited about our newest cast interview with Ryan Carroll - check it out!
Ryan Carroll
What's your role in The Grand Duke?
Dr. Tannhäuser, a Notary
What made you decide to get involved with The Grand Duke?
I've always had a deep appreciation for the musical talent of Gilbert and Sullivan. Sullivan's rich sense of musicality and Gilberts appreciation for absurdity resulted in so many weirdly wonderful works. The Grand Duke, though perhaps less successful during its time, does not disappoint on either front. It is the kind of ridiculousness you come to expect from them, and it's paired with incredibly exciting and charming music. I always said if a posting for the show ever came up near me, I would audition. It did, I did, and I could not be happier.
What are you enjoying most about working on The Grand Duke with VLOC?
There are not many works that challenge singers and actors like those of Gilbert and Sullivan. This production features so many talented singers and gives me the chance to work on some excitingly difficult music.
I am lucky enough to say that I have found my dream job, working as a music therapist and providing group music psychotherapy for mental health consumers in the Washington, DC area. If I were to have chosen a different path in life though, I think I would probably be baking bread and pastries in a small community bakery. As for a dream role, I am still hoping to one day join a production of Andersson and Ulvaeus "Chess".
I grew up watching home taped copies of The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins on repeat, the performing my own versions of them for any family member who stood still long enough. It was not until I was older that I saw my first staged show. I am not entirely sure, but my best guess is that it was most likely A Christmas Carol.
I work as a music therapist and serve as the director of music training at a general adult and forensic psychiatric hospital in Washington, D.C. In addition to my clinical work, I have had the opportunity to present my research on cultural competent mental health care and the use of music to increase psychiatric insight. In 2006, I worked with the Sister of Charity at Seton Hill University to co-found the Seton Art Service Corp, an organization designed to bring the art, theater, music, and dance to underserved youth in the Greater Pittsburgh Area.
Thanks, Ryan! Tickets for The Grand Duke are on sale now - you only have 2 chances to see this semi-staged concert production! Call the F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre box office at 240-314-8690 or go online HERE. We hope to see you at a show!

Q: Move files on a remote computer fast I am working on a Python project and I need to move files between two different drives in a single remote computer, which is a Windows PC.
I can do this by mounting the drives on my local computer, and then do shutil.move in Python or call a shell script to simply mv files.
However, the problem is that the speed of moving is really slow compared with moving directly on that PC.
Is there any way I can call the remote host to move it or any other way to make the moving as fast as moving directly on that PC?

Our White Paper


I am a psychotherapist licensed by the state of California as an MFT, marriage and family therapist. I received my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University in 2008. I worked for three years at the Maple Counseling Center in Beverly Hills where I was trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and received two years of specialized training in the Mindful Parenting Program. In my private practice I work with adolescents, adult individuals, and couples.
I specialize in treating depression, anxiety and relationship conflict. I have a great deal of experience helping people navigate stress, break-ups and divorce, family issues, parenting, pregnancy, infertility, perinatal experiences (including post-partum depression), and many other areas related to personal growth. I work with couples from an emotion focused approach.
Please call me to inquire more about my experience and approach. I speak with all potential clients before setting an initial meeting. I charge for the first session only if we find we are a good match, and you decide to move forward with me.


The word "character" seems like such an ordinary one that most people may have trouble defining it without using the word itself in the definition. Characters are mainly people within books, plays or other literary works.
The term "antagonist" seems a little intimidating at first. But in truth, it is just a big word that refers to a fairly simple concept. To put the matter as simply as possible: the term antagonist can be more or less translated as "bad guy". It is one of many character types that authors use when writing stories.
An archetype essentially refers to an original model that finds manifestation in various later forms.
When a person (fictional or nonfictional) is found in a work of art, that person is a character. By analogy, we also use the term character for people in life.
The meaning of the term hero changes subtly depending on whether it is used in a broad or a narrow sense. In the broad sense, a hero is simply synonymous with protagonist. In the narrow sense, though, a hero is a character who exemplifies the traits that his own people and culture find admirable and/or morally good. This narrow use is especially relevant in genres such as tragic drama and epic poetry. The female equivalent of a hero is a heroine.
The meaning of the term heroine is relatively self-evident, simply being a conjugation of the term hero into a feminine form. The term, though, may have relatively recent origins, due to the historical fact that until the time of modernism, most literary works have tended to focus on male protagonists. As such, the term heroine would not have become a meaningful one until it became common for women to be protagonists.
Over time, and especially with modernism, a muse has come to refer to any source of creative inspiration for an artist. In ancient Greek literature, epic poems and stories were generally introduced by a muse on behalf of the author.
A protagonist is always a main character in a narrative: in order to identify the protagonist, all one has to do is to figure out who the narrative is about. The protagonist generally drives the plot of the narrative forward, since the narrative tends to follow the narrative over the course of his life. More specifically, the protagonist usually comes up against an antagonist, and their conflict tends to drive the story.
A pseudonym is a name the author uses to sign his works that is different from his legal name. There are generally three main reasons why an artist may choose to do this. The first is that the material contained in the works may be controversial and potentially get the artist in trouble; the second is that it may help the works sell; and the third is that it may be aesthetically significant for the works themselves.


We always love to share the work of our favourite photographers and the journeys they've made. Brussels-based photographer Sėbastien Nunes is someone who has only recently come onto our radar. Here are a few of his words to set the scene on a series of images that instantly captured our imagination.
SN: "Motorcycles are my favourite way of moving from one place to another, the excitement I get from the feeling of freedom on the road is unparalleled. I love to explore new places. In a car you look at the landscape, on a motorcycle you feel the landscape - it's a huge difference. That's how I felt while riding up the legendary Transfagarasan, being part of a surrealist decor. The endless asphalt ribbon in the middle of those stunning mountains, partly covered with snow and cloud making them seem painterly.
I'm a freelance photographer based in Brussels, I ride daily in town but my thoughts are always somewhere on the road exploring new regions."

Pussy Riot: marginals to protest symbol in a year
One year ago five young women walked into Moscow's Church of Christ the Saviour, climbed over railings and pulled on balaclavas, before launching into a shouted-out song denouncing the Church's relations with Vladimir Putin. The February 21, 2012 action was a low-key protest by a group called Pussy Riot who until then were little known in Russia, let alone abroad. That morning, all the women involved in the "Punk Prayer" managed to flee, leaving behind only an electric guitar and an amplifier, as a handful of worshippers stood in shock, several crying.

The Senegal River and its tributaries were running high after heavy rains fell over western Africa in late September 2005. According to the Dartmouth Flood Observatory, the floods washed away several villages and left thousands stranded. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured the top image of the floods on October 3, 2005. The lower image, provided for comparison, was taken on September 24, 2005. In these false-color images, water is blue, bare land is pinkish-tan, and vegetation is bright green. On October 3, all of the rivers in the scene appear in bolder strokes of blue, widened by the flooding.
The large images provided above have a resolution of 500 meters per pixel. Daily images are available for this region in a variety of resolutions, including MODIS' maximum resolution of 250 meters per pixel.

On 21st May 2018, Prof. Dr Volkmar Brückner concluded his training which had been going on since a number of weeks ago. The last session of his training mainly focused on briefing students on what telecommunication is all about.
Prof. Dr. Volkmar Brückner is a German national who specialized in the field of telecommunication, and he is a member of SES (Senior Expert Service).
The presence of this expert at ULK Polytechnic was in line with the MoUs this institute has signed with some Germany academic institutions which enable both sides to collaborate academically. In this perspective, Prof. Dr. Volkmar Brückner has been training ULK Polytechnic instructors so that in return they would also train their students with complete and unquestionable skills.
Using a well prepared PowerPoint presentation, Prof. Dr. Volkmar Brückner showed how various electronic devices work. At this point, he left the audience looking in awe when he revealed the wonders behind the functioning of radios, televisions, telephones and many other electronic devices.
Actually, many people with little or no knowledge of telecommunication think that sending messages using electronic devices is a walk in the park yet it passes through numerous ways for the message to be fully transmitted.
Along his presentation, the speaker warned the students to pay much attention to information shared using internet as such information may be stolen or used by unauthorized people.
"You should learn more about cryptology to better know how hacking is done for its prevention. Again, you need to be careful when you're texting your friends or posting information on social media because it might be hacked. Hackers are always there waiting for what to hack. So pay heed in whatever you write", he cautioned the students.
Since Prof. Dr. Volkmar Brückner wowed many participants through his presentation, a stream of participants expressed their desire to ask questions when the floor was opened to them for this particular purpose. It was after satisfactorily attending to each and every question that the function came to a close.
Asked about the benefits got from the training, Mr. Patrick KAYIJAMAHE, the Head of Department in ULK Polytechnic, said that numerous benefits have been registered.
As this academician gets ready to fly back to his home country, there is hope that many others will continue to jet into the country for sharpening the minds of instructors and students in ULK Polytechnic because capacity building is an endless process.
One would therefore salute the initiative by the management of ULK Polytechnic which never ceases to think about what could take the institution to another level. Indeed, it is this visionary leadership and pro-students initiative that makes students live to see their academic dreams coming true.

Jun 01 2018 Please Forgive Us ... BY sgf-adminTAGS Airlines, Airports, How the Airport Works, TSA
Please forgive what we're about to do; we need to administer some tough love.
On this, the first day of the summer travel season, we've got advice for everyone who flies from Springfield: arrive at this airport AT LEAST TWO HOURS before your flight's scheduled departure time. If you get here at the last possible minute, you may get burned.
We know, you don't want to hear it!
Small airports, like Springfield's, have their perks. Short wait times are one of them. We're all used to it. Got an early morning flight? You can sleep late, get to the airport 40 minutes before departure, whiz through security in less than 10 minutes, walk to the gate, board, and BOOM!
So here's the deal — those days are over. The lines are longer and so are the wait times.
For years we've told people to arrive at least 90 minutes before departure. If something goes awry, like a broken piece of security screening equipment, you need that much time. Our advice is mostly ignored. And now we're asking you to get here even earlier — please don't ignore us.
The first four months of the year were the busiest in airport history. In May, nearly all flights were at least 96% full, or oversold. So far this year passenger numbers are up 9.3%. We expect more than 1-million passengers this year — an all-time record. That's good news, but with growth comes pain.
We're adjusting for the increase in passengers: airlines have increased staff. The Transportation Security Administration has added staff and adjusted schedules at the security checkpoint. But most passengers? They still show up at the last minute, fully expecting to wait less than ten minutes. They're shocked when they discover a 20+ minute wait at the checkpoint. But that's what you get when most people show up at the last minute.
Check out this portion of an email we got last week …
"… I approached the security line, which had literally 60 more people in it than I had ever seen. Historically, I consider the line "long" if there are 10 people in it. I had not anticipated this many people in line and did not allow >30 minutes extra to stand in the security line - my flight was starting to board … I spent 30 minutes in the security line!!"
She missed her flight.
We sympathize, but we're going to tell you what we told her: YOU NEED TO GET TO THE AIRPORT TWO HOURS BEFORE YOUR SCHEDULED DEPARTURE.
Everyone here at the airport always strives to make things more efficient, but staffing levels can't be increased to keep wait times at less than 10 minutes. At many airports 20 to 30 minutes is the norm; 10 minutes is a luxury. Unfortunately, it's a luxury we've grown accustomed to, and now we're outgrowing.
Thank you for reading this and please forgive the lecture.
Mar 02 2018 This is What the Airline Does, This is What the Airport Does BY sgf-adminTAGS How the Airport Works
If you're reading this post there's a good chance we directed you here from social media. We're asking you to read this because you think the airport is responsible for an airline problem.
Let's talk about two questions: what is the airline responsible for, and what is the airport responsible for?
Start with airlines —
Airlines do the following; this is not a complete list:
They sell tickets and provide transportation on airplanes.
They determine the cost of ticket.
They fly airplanes.
They cancel flights.
They update the flight schedules displayed on video screens at airports.
They staff the ticket counters and gates.
They park and push back airplanes at the terminal.
They load and unload your luggage.
They are responsible for lost or damaged luggage.
They de-ice airplanes during winter weather.
They maintain and repair airplanes.
The "Airport" owns, operates, and maintains the physical facility on the ground: the terminal, runways, taxiways, and so on.
The airport leases space to the airlines from which they do business. Airport leases do not include airline performance standards. Why? Because airlines won't agree to them. Bottom line: airlines are responsible for how they conduct their business at the airport and in the air.
Why tell you all this? Because a lot of folks think the airport is responsible for airline operations/customer service. In fact, they're often encouraged to think so.
Here's an example we received on the airport Facebook page:
CUSTOMER: "Quick question. The plane was here last night 2/9 and everyone knew about the tire issue with the plane. The announced the issue right before our scheduled boarding time. This caused over an hour delay that could have been prevented by having the maintenance crew come in and fix the issue. Why did this not happen?"
Customer questions like this raise another question — why was the customer convinced that the airport was responsible? Did they just assume that, or did someone tell them it was the airport's fault?
Based on experience we know airline employees sometimes tell customers things like this: "the airport maintenance crew didn't fix the tire."
At best a statement like this is sloppy use of the language. It uses "airport" as a collective word to refer to everyone who works at the airport, be they airline employee, TSA employee, restaurant employee, or someone who actually is an airport employee.
At worst it's deliberate deceit meant to deflect blame from the airline – the airline employee knows most customers will assume that it means "the airport" is responsible for airplane maintenance.
A more accurate statement would sound something like this: "our maintenance crew didn't fix the problem." Or this: "we didn't get the problem fixed in time."
"Ladies and gentleman, the airport de-icing crew is short staffed so we're going to be delayed."
"Folks, we're waiting for the airport ground crew to park us at the jet bridge."
From now on, when you hear statements like that, you'll have a better idea of what's going on.
Here's our bottom line ...
Even though the airport doesn't control airline operations we do try to exert influence. When we see patterns (such as consistent problems with de-icing), we bring it to the airline's attention. We'll ask airline managers: is there something the airport can do to help? What can we do to improve this?
These conversations are touchy. No airline likes to be told how to run its business, so the airport has to walk a fine line, but we clearly make the point that no one (airlines or airport) looks good when avoidable problems occur. And it hurts the customer.
We take this approach because airports don't have a cudgel to hold over airlines. As mentioned earlier, airlines will not accept contractual performance measures in airport leases.
Having said that, here's a final thought ...
Ultimately, if you want your concern to make a difference, please direct it to the reposnsible airline. If enough customers do that, it could get the airline's attention. And please know this: if the issue at hand really is an airport problem, we'll be the first to say so.

Jul 13 2017 "That Carpet is Decidedly Chill" BY sgf-adminTAGS General, Misc.
What do you call a selfie of your feet — a footsie?
Never mind …
Feet selfies are a popular social media thing. But when people do it at this airport it usually has more to do with the carpet.
Yes, the terminal carpet has become a social media thing, but it hasn't always been so …
Back in 2009, when the terminal opened, one crank disliked the carpet so much he wrote a letter to the editor: the carpet triggers vertigo!!!
The newspaper printed it. Hook. Line. Sinker.
These days haters are few and far between. Oh, they're still out there occasionally, but the carpet seems to have grown on folk.
Instagram is where the carpet typically shows up. We've included a sampling, along with an image from a brochure we printed when the terminal was being built. It explains what the carpet is all about, along with the rest of the building's architectural details.
Be sure to read the comments that accompany the photos. You'll note some people mention "PDX carpet."
Portland International Airport (PDX) is the airport in Portland, Oregon. The carpet there is also a thing. You can check it out here: http://gizmodo.com/how-the-portland-airport-carpet-became-a-hipster-icon...

Daystar University's Afrizo - 2018 Tour Recap
It seems like just yesterday when six students from halfway across the world stepped out of the airport in Minneapolis and were greeted warmly, despite the sub-zero temperatures. What followed was a whirlwind month of singing, dancing, serving, laughing, and ministering with people of all kinds throughout the country while sharing the mission of Daystar University. These students exemplified the sort of people Daystar is developing - creative, intelligent servant leaders equipped to transform Africa.
2018 Afrizo team - Daisy, Barbara, Daniel, Manasseh, Caroline, and Priscilla
The team was presented with a large task to undertake - 25+ shows in 28 days across 5 states. The goal of the tour was to raise funds for the mission of Daystar. These dollars will help to advance existing projects and allow more students the ability to receive a life changing, Christ-centered education. They sang in schools, churches, retirement communities, living rooms, and cafes. They saw the snowy mountains of Colorado and heard the waves of the Atlantic Ocean hit the shoreline of Florida. They danced with preschoolers and prayed with retired missionaries. These ambassadors shared their testimonies and helped forge new connections with Daystar University.
STATES VISITED:
Minnesota | Pennsylvania | Colorado | Florida | North Carolina
Donate to help fund the afrizo tour
What follows below are snapshots from life on tour, and some reflections on the month from the team members themselves.
Thoughts on host homes:
"we created a bond and we will never forget any of them." - Caroline
"we see many things in the media that are not true about America and it was nice to see life here for what it is." - Priscilla
"I loved the moments we sat at the dining table to talk about God, life, Daystar, and music. Those had the most impact in me." - Manasseh
What tour taught you about servant leadership:
"To be a great leader, I have to be very selfless, intentional about leading as well as serving, and be able to see others through God's eyes." - Daniel
"Leading is not always about being at the forefront. It can be staying behind to make sure that everyone is ok, that no one is lagging alone. It can be doing the final sweep of a room after everyone has left. It is following Jesus and it is a lot of love." - Barbara
How tour has changed your worldview:
"I had no idea the level of love and support people had for Daystar, and the desire they all had to see our students excel in their studies." - Daisy
"There are a lot of good people around the world who are looking for an opportunity to make a difference in somebody's life through donations, advice, and something as simple as a smile." - Daniel
Favorite part of tour:
"I did enjoy the beauty of the mountains in Vail. It was overwhelmingly beautiful." - Caroline
"Going ice skating with a host family, Priscilla and I slipped a couple of times (I fell many times) but it was so much fun. An ice hockey coach had pity on me and gave me a mini lesson on how to not be a newborn giraffe on the ice and by the end of the night I could sort of muddle my way through skating sans a rail." - Barbara
"Every time we got on stage and I would see the people moved by the Spirit through the music." - Priscilla
Daystar U.S. staff and the 2018 Afrizo team
A huge thank you to everyone that helped make this tour so special. The host families that opened their homes up to house the students and share life with them. The students that acted as tour guides to show what their schools and communities had to offer. The churches that hosted events and worked so hard to promote them. Those who attended the concerts and sang and danced. Those who prayed for the team as they traveled, especially during snowy drives and delayed flights. Those who donated to ensure that Daystar University can continue to grow and educate the next generation of African leaders.
This year's tour had a goal of raising $60,000 which has not yet been fully met. Though the month may be over, the opportunity to give in response to the blessing of Afrizo is not. Tours such as this rely entirely on donations and can only happen when they prove to be financially sustainable. If you did not have a chance to give this time around and would like to, or would like to increase your donation, please click the button below. It is only through the generous support of our donors that Daystar U.S. is able to continue to provide teams like Afrizo the opportunity to share the good news of the work God is doing in Africa through Daystar University.
Thank you, asante sana.

MAGNETISM IN ROCKS
Earth is a giant magnet. Like other magnets that you are familiar with, Earth has two magnetic poles, which we call north and south, and a magnetic field that attracts charged or "magnetic" objects. At present, these magnetic poles are close to, but not identical with, the geographical poles. Thus, we can use a magnetic compass, adjusted for the difference between magnetic and true north, to tell us which way north is. The magnetic field has not always been in its present configuration. At times in the past, the poles have reversed or changed direction so that the north magnetic pole becomes south and vice versa. There does not appear to be any regularity to these magnetic reversals, as they are called, nor do we know how reversals occur. Speculation is that the magnetic field weakens; becoming virtually nil, then builds up again. When the magnetic field re-builds, there is an equal probability that it will be either in the same orientation or in the reversed direction. If the field has the same orientation as previously, there is no reversal. A reversal occurs only when the magnetic field orientation changes to the opposite direction.
Past reversals of the magnetic field are recorded in the rocks. Many rocks contain iron-bearing minerals that act as tiny magnets. As magma or lava cool, these minerals begin to form. At this point the molten rock has not completely solidified, so the magnetic minerals floating in the molten mass, become aligned to the magnetic field. When the rock finally solidifies, these minerals "lock in" the magnetic field as so many tiny compasses. Sedimentary rocks also have a magnetic record. As iron bearing sedimentary minerals are deposited from the water column, they also become aligned with the existing magnetic field. The magnetism remains locked in the rock unless the rock is subsequently heated above the Curie Point, the temperature at which all magnets lose their magnetism. When the heated rock again cools below the Curie Point, it will record the magnetic field at this later time, and the old magnetic field will be lost. It is important, therefore, to establish that a rock's magnetism is primary and has not been re-set at a later time.
