What would make for the best kind of wound care dressing? Something that would not only help heal your cuts and burns quickly but something that the body could produce naturally as well. That is where collagen comes in. Collagen is the single most abundant protein in the body. It makes up 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content and is seen throughout the body, from muscles, bones, the cartilage in our ears and most importantly our skin. Collagen is the main protein in the skin that is responsible for not only the elasticity of the skin but is also a key component in wound healing, making it the best option to be used in wound care. But how does it work?
Type III Collagen: The fibrous protein in bones cartilage, tendons, dentin, and other connective tissues.
Using a collagen dressing is a great way to help the healing process of the wound. It is important that healing is quick and as effective as possible. That is why the right dressing is important. The type of dressing depends on different factors, including what type of injury, size, location, and severity.
Re-epithelialization: Moves epidermal cells from the edge of the wound to the center, helping with new skin formation.
They are suitable for use on granulating wounds and wounds that are chronic or takes a while to heal. A collagen dressing can help revitalize the healing process.
Collagen dressing comes in a variety of forms and used in a variety of ways. Collagen comes in pastes, powders, pads, and gels. Pads and gels being the more popular forms used especially for self-care. Ropes are also available but those are used mainly for deep cuts and lacerations. The type of dressing used is dependant on the wound, its size, and location.
Impregnated hydrogel: Usually placed on a gauze pad, sponge or strip.
Remember to only use this gel with dry wounds. You don't want to use this gel on wet and already moist wounds.
Collagen ropes are used mainly to pack deep wounds and lacerations. The collagen ropes are packed in tight within the wound and then quickly absorbed by the body. Having the healing start within the wound can help speed up the healing process. These wounds are then usually covered with a collagen pad to help heal the skin around the wound.
Pads are used mostly on the actual wound themselves. They are more versatile and can be cut and sized to fit any wound. Most dressings are absorbed into the body and will not need to be changed.
Modern medicine is incredible. They have taken the healing effects collagen and the ability to fight bacteria from silver and have combined both of them for a new approach to wound care. Silver has been widely used to combat bacterial growth in wound care due to bacteria being much more sensitive to silver. Unfortunately, too much silver used can be bad for healthy cells. So you must be careful when using it as wound care. The key is to find the right formula.
Alginate dressings are best used for draining wounds or wounds with an excessive amount of fluid. Alginate dressings are dry when placed on the wound, and become a more gel-like substance as the dressing absorbs the fluid from the wound. A secondary bandage would be needed to wrap over an alginate dressing. Alginate dressings need to be changed periodically. It is recommended to use a saline solution when removing the dressing to keep from damaging the healing skin around the wound.
Fibracol combines collagen's structural support and the gel-forming properties of alginate into a comfortable, soft, and absorbent dressing. Best used on venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and full thickness pressure ulcers.
Woun'dres Hydrogel is a clear gel. It contains collagen and panthenol that work simultaneously to stimulate tissue growth and maintain an appropriate moisture level. Woun'dres does not have propylene glycol which is found in other hydrogels. Has a two-year shelf life so it will be available the next time you need it to get the healing that you need. Works for all types of wounds.
Tegaderm Alginate Ag dressing is available as a pad or rope. It is an antimicrobial highly absorbent wound dressing that is made up of sterile calcium alginate, ionic silver complex, and carboxymethylcellulose. The dressing release antimicrobial ionic silver when it comes into contact with the wound. This process effectively reduces the bacteria growth, including antibiotic-resistant MRSA and VRE in the wound.
Depending on the type of injury or wound you may need to seek medical attention. If it is a treatable wound that you can care for yourself, follow these few steps to ensure you are on the path to healing. Different dressings work better for various wounds. The steps to follow could vary as well. For example, some bandages will not need to be removed; saline may be necessary to prep the area instead of water, etc. If at all possible, have a medical professional show you the proper way of applying the dressing for the first time.
You would first wash your hands and the area around it, disinfect the wound. Then if possible put on some disposable gloves. If the wound is still bleeding, gently put pressure on the wound. Rinse the wound with water and then put antibiotic cream on the wound.
Carefully wrap or place the dressing on the wound.
Some collagens require a secondary dressing to cover it. The frequency of changing the bandages can vary from daily to every seven days.
It is amazing how the body has natural healing capabilities. Now combine that with modern medical advancements - the wounds are healing faster, less scarring and with less serious risks of infection. So next time you look for a bandage to treat a cut or wound, look for one that contains collagen. You will be amazed at the results.

Sept 16 Reuters) - Following are some facts about Bombardier Inc's CSeries passenger jet, a narrowbody rival to Airbus and Boeing aircraft, which was scheduled to carry out its much anticipated maiden flight on Monday.
Five years in development, the $3.4 billion aircraft will expand Montreal-based Bombardier's commercial plane business beyond the regional and corporate jet market, bringing it into direct competition with industry leaders Boeing Co and Airbus .
Bombardier first announced the CSeries in 2004, but after investing $100 million in development, it failed to sign up customers and shelved the program in 2006. It kept the concept alive with $20 million in annual funding and a skeleton crew.
The company restarted the program in 2008 after Germany's Deutsche Lufthansa AG signed a letter of interest for 30 firm and 30 optional plane orders.
The 110-seat CS100, with a list price of about $63 million, will compete with Embraer SA's E-190 and E-195, which can seat between 98 and 124. It will also compete with Airbus's 107- to 132-seat A318 and Boeing's 110-to 132-seat 737-600. The CS100 can seat up to 125.
The 130-seat CS300, listed at about $72 million, will go up against Airbus's 124-156 seat A319 and Boeing's 126-to 149-seat 737-700. Bombardier also plans a 160-seat version of the CS300.
Bombardier is assembling five CS100 and two CS300 test planes.
The CSeries final assembly is done in Mirabel, north of Montreal. The fuselage and cockpit are manufactured at another Montreal facility, while the wings are made in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
A patented "resin transfer infusion" process is used to make lighter-weight composite wings. The carbon-fiber composite structures require fewer inspections due to better corrosion resistance and fatigue strength, the company said.
Bombardier says the plane will have a 15 percent cash operating cost advantage, 20 percent fuel burn advantage and will be significantly quieter. Airbus says its upgraded A319neo will have similar fuel burn and cash costs to the CS300.
The CSeries will use two of Pratt & Whitney's new geared turbofan engines, the PurePower PW1500G and have a range of 2,950 nautical miles. It is 12,000 pounds (5,400 kg) lighter than other aircraft in the same seat category.
The jet is scheduled to enter service a year from first flight and the company has said it wants 300 firm orders by then. Bombardier said it had 388 orders and commitments, which includes 177 firm orders for the planes as of June 30, 2013.
Ten companies have placed firm orders for the two CSeries models, Bombardier said.

Q: How does git checkout work after git fetch I just did
git fetch origin <remoteBranch>

And after that I just did
git checkout <remoteBranch>

That created a local branch with the name of <remoteBranch>.
How does that just work? Normally when I want to create a local branch I have to do
git checkout -b

A: The manual for checkout says:

git checkout <branch>
[...]If <branch> is not found but there does exist a tracking branch in exactly one remote (call it <remote>) with a matching name, treat as equivalent to
  $ git checkout -b <branch> --track <remote>/<branch>

If the branch exists in multiple remotes and one of them is named by the checkout.defaultRemote configuration variable, we'll use that one for the purposes of disambiguation, even if the <branch> isn't unique across all remotes. Set it to e.g. checkout.defaultRemote=origin to always checkout remote branches from there if <branch> is ambiguous but exists on the origin remote. See also checkout.defaultRemote in git-config[1].

A: To the best of my knowledge, when you ask to checkout, if the branch does not exist locally, git will try to find one (and only one) remote branch with that name. If it exists and there's a single one (there could be multiple remotes set up on your repo with that same branch name) then git guesses that's the branch you want and so it creates it locally using the remote branch as the upstream branch.

Sundance 2016: Taika Waititi's 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople' is Pure Fun
by Alex Billington
Taika Waititi is back and better than ever! No seriously, this film is Taika's best yet, and I've been following him ever since I saw Eagle vs Shark premiered at Sundance 10 years ago. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is the latest feature from Kiwi director Taika Waititi, who writes and directs and also has a small role in the film. Set mostly in the New Zealand "bush", the mostly uninhabited forested wilderness taking up some of the island, the story is about a troublemaker foster care kid named Ricky Baker who finds his true family when he's taken from the city to the countryside. I laughed my ass off, but the film actually has an immense amount of heart, too. By the end I was a fan of Ricky Baker and his "screw this" attitude and wanted more.
At first it seems like Ricky (played by newcomer Julian Dennison) won't fit in, as he was raised in the city and does whatever he wants. However, he soon finds that he does have a home and this opening is where the emotions start to kick in. However, when tragedy suddenly strikes, grumpy Uncle Heck (played by New Zealand native Sam Neill) and Ricky go on the run in the bush, becoming a national sensation when the police enact a massive manhunt to find the two. The film has chapter listings, but it flows smoothly, turning into a fun survival adventure and buddy comedy. As always with Taika's films, they have a very grounded, welcoming feel to them, and that's the case again. He works his magic and delivers an unforgettable comedy.
Hunt for the Wilderpeople is one of those films that leaves you so happy by the end, you just want to go back and watch it again right away. Explaining what it's about in text sounds kind of boring (especially with obvious comparisons to The Revenant looming out there), however it is anything but. The film has earned comparisons to Moonrise Kingdom meets First Blood, and that's one way of describing it, but really the humor is completely unique to Taika Waititi. His films can't be compared, there's just something to them. I love them. Even the crazy child services woman who is after them is a hilarious character that is unlike anything ever found in any film before. It's hard to dislike any character in his films, they're all so lovable.
In a world with so many cynical, depressing, heartbreaking stories being told, it's so great to see something that reminds us there is hope in this world. There is hope for those who think that no one will ever love them because they don't fit in. There is so much beauty out there, even if we don't always recognize it. Hunt for the Wilderpeople shows us this, in big ways and in small, subtle ways. I'm just so glad that Taika made another film that makes me feel good, that made me laugh my ass off, and made my smile out of happiness. And I very much hope many more people will discover this film and have as much fun watching as I did.

Q: How to get the signed complement of a number? I want to find the signed value of a number in C. So if I have a number let's say 10, in binary (in 8 bits) it would be 0000 0110. How do I get the signed number in two's complement 1111 1110, which is -2. Using simple bitwise operations, shifts, masks, how do I do this conversion? I've been stuck on this for hours.

A: If we already have the binary representation of a positive number n, then the bitwise representation of -n is ~n+1, in other words, 1 plus the bitwise negation of the positive number.

A: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two%27s_complement

I want to find the signed value of a number in C. So if I have a number let's say 10, in binary (in 8 bits) it would be 0000 0110. How do I get the signed number in two's complement 1111 1110, which is -2.

You're confused.  The 8-bit two's complement of 0000 0110 is 1111 1010 (-10 if interpreted as signed, or 6 if interpreted as unsigned).  The whole point is that a bit pattern and its (unsigned) n-bit two's complement add up to 2^n.

Using simple bitwise operations, shifts, masks, how do I do this conversion? I've been stuck on this for hours.

Here:
unsigned char x = 0x0a;
unsigned char twos_complement = (~x) + 1;

My recovery journey began six years ago. I admitted to myself that I had an eating disorder. I told my parents that I needed help. I asked my best friend to look online for treatment options. Before long I was walking up the front steps of Woodstone Residence (now Looking Glass Residence). This was the first time I chose recovery.
Since then, I've chosen recovery time and time again. I created meal plans during both stressful school semesters and unstructured summer vacations. In order to fight through anxiety and nausea triggered by a car accident, I scheduled regular checkups with my doctor. After losing a dear friend to suicide I grappled with concepts of life and death, ultimately choosing life and recovery for myself. These are extreme examples, but there are subtler ones as well.
There are times I have felt anger without punishing my body. I have been exhausted and still made time for breakfast. I have eaten Christmas cookies and still allowed myself a delicious Christmas dinner. I have intentionally decided not to step on the scale. I've caught glimpses of myself in the mirror and attempted to gaze at my reflection instead of turning away in disgust. I've agreed to see a therapist. However, there have also been several moments, days, and weeks that I have neglected healing and health, instead succumbing to the deadly grasp of addiction and well-worn destructive neural pathways.
As I continue to trudge through seasons of extreme set backs, I've found myself wondering if the act of simply choosing recovery isn't enough. This season has been confusing, frustrating, and exhausting. I'm tired of therapy appointments and the emotional hangovers. I'm tired of tear-induced headaches. I'm tired of fighting because it seems like I'll never get to where I'm trying to go.
Before I left her office, I decided to choose recovery. I wasn't committing to forever or even all week, but just for the night. And to my surprise, it worked. How was it possible that I could take care of myself after a week full of setbacks and what seemed like a useless therapy appointment?
I learned that choosing recovery is enough. But I have to choose it all the time. I need to choose it in times of strength so that when challenges arise I have already committed to recovery.
I learned that choosing recovery is enough. But I have to choose it all the time. I need to choose it in times of strength so that when challenges arise I have already committed to recovery. I find it helpful to sit down with my journal each morning and write down what I choose to commit to that day. Sometimes I need to text a friend for the sake of accountability. Additionally, I've realized that I need to recommit to choosing recovery when I get home from work. I'm trying to make a habit of doing this before I get out of my car, or at least make it the first thing I do when I get inside.
Recovery is a conscious choice. It is overwhelming and rewarding. It's exhausting and freeing. It's daunting and it's absolutely possible. There is wisdom in every cliché, including the phrase, "One day at a time." Perhaps we've heard this saying so often that its meaning has dissipated over time. It is up to each of us, however, to intentionally choose recovery each and every day, one day at a time.
Jenna is a poet, musician, and lover of the outdoors. She holds a BA in Psychology, and hopes to one day support others in their journey of recovery and healing. This desire stems from Jenna's gratitude toward those who walk alongside her in her own recovery. You can often find Jenna enjoying a strong cup of coffee and connecting with dear friends.
I enjoyed your post. I identify with your reference to how choosing recovery IS connecting and it IS exhausting. ED is veryuch an uncomfortable "comfort zone".. .leaving it is very uncomfortable.


Is Keith Ellison for real? I looks like he really thinks it's a good idea for government to control what a CEO is paid. This begs the question of whether Ellison has had any Econ classes or has ever been in the workforce. The idea that government should regulate pay for CEO's has to be one of the most ill informed ideas we've ever heard. The last thing we need is MORE government intervention in ANYTHING!
Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.) said Wednesday that the government should "start talking about" regulating pay disparities between CEOs and other employees.
Ellison touted his report about newly disclosed figures showing CEOs make on average 339 times as much as the median employee. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) mandated the pay disclosures as part of the Dodd-Frank banking reform legislation, and Ellison said transparency is just the beginning.
"Are you favoring the government actually regulating the relationship between CEO pay and the average worker?" Bloomberg host David Westin asked.
"I think it is a very good idea, and I think we should start talking about it," Ellison replied.
Ellison based his argument on the "exorbitant amount of money" CEOs make compared to workers, as shown in the SEC-mandated disclosures.
He also said some companies try to hire part-time workers to whom they do not have to offer health care and retirement benefits, and he lambasted those that practice offshoring instead of paying American workers more.

Insights/Communiqués/EnviroNotes!/December 2013/Municipal regulation of noise caused by a long-established automobile racetrack
Municipal regulation of noise caused by a long-established automobile racetrack
December 18, 2013 | Luc Gratton
The Quebec Court of Appeal has recently rendered an important decision in the fields of environmental and municipal law, in the context of an important legal battle pitting a group of residents living in one of Quebec's most renowned cottage communities against both a local automobile racetrack and municipality. The residents sued the racetrack and the municipality in order to have the bylaws by which the municipality regulated the racetrack's activities struck down. According to the residents, the municipality's bylaws were unreasonable because they allowed the racetrack to emit noise levels that went beyond what was both legal and reasonable.
The Court's decision in Courses automobiles Mont-Tremblant inc. v. Iredale1 (hereafter "Mont-Tremblant") deserves attention across Canada because it gives us new and important insight into how the Supreme Court of Canada's teachings in Catalyst Paper Corp. v. North Cowichan (District)2 (hereafter "Catalyst") should apply when municipal bylaws targeting environmental nuisances are challenged before the courts. At its most fundamental, the Mont-Tremblant decision addresses two questions. Firstly, how can a municipality regulate environmental nuisances? Secondly, how are Courts to judge whether such regulation is compatible with a general provincial legislative provision prohibiting the contamination of the environment?
The story behind the Mont-Tremblant decision started in 1964, with the opening of the racetrack. At that time —and at all times since— the racetrack complied with the municipality's zoning bylaw. For more than twenty years, the track operated without complaint, being located relatively far off from most of the dwellings in the area. Indeed, there were only three dwellings situated within 500 meters of the racetrack between 1964 and 1987.
In 1987, the racetrack announced that it would shut down and that its site would be used for residential development. The local municipality, then the Municipality of Mont-Tremblant, changed its zoning bylaw by taking into account the racetrack's shutdown and the announced residential development of the area, and 26 new dwellings were built within 500 meters of the racetrack between 1987 and 2001. The racetrack, however, continued to operate during this period, despite the 1987 announcement, with a certain reduction of its activities.
In 1999, the provincial legislature amalgamated the Municipality of Mont-Tremblant with neighbouring municipalities, creating the City of Mont-Tremblant. In 2000, the racetrack was sold to new owners and, for a year and a half, the racetrack's activities were interrupted for renovations. Racing activities started again at the end of 2001, with a certain increase, much to the displeasure of the racetrack's neighbours. In 2003, faced with a number of noise complaints and with the necessity to adopt a uniform nuisance bylaw for the various amalgamated municipalities, the City of Mont-Tremblant adopted a nuisance bylaw that generally declared as a nuisance any noise that troubled the peace, comfort, rest, well being or peaceful use of neighbouring property and that established uniform and objective limits for noise perceived from any residential property. These limits were applicable to any source of noise on the new City's territory. At the time, the Cities and Towns Act, R.S.Q., c. C-19, did not allow a nuisance bylaw to contain noise limits that varied according to the noise emitting source or according to different parts of a municipality. The bylaw contained some exemptions, notably for celebrations, festivals or other special events, and also provided for penalties.
Although the 2003 bylaw did not specifically target noise emitted by the racetrack, its adoption was the source of tensions between the municipality, the racetrack's operators and local residents. On the one hand, the racetrack's operators considered that the municipality was unduly interfering with their lawful activities, and they refused to comply with the bylaw, even when it came to requesting the benefit of the exemption for special events. On the other hand, the municipality and local residents considered that the noise emitted by the racetrack constituted a nuisance that had to be curbed. What followed were demand letters, unfruitful negotiations, measuring of the noise emitted by the racetrack's different activities and the City's commissioning an expert report.
In 2005, the City undertook injunction proceedings against the racetrack and requested emergency safeguard orders for the 2006 operating season. After the City had won part of the requested safeguard orders, a new round of negotiations between the City and the racetrack operator led to a transaction and to the adoption of a new bylaw after the end of the 2006 season. This bylaw was adopted pursuant to the Municipal Powers Act, R.S.Q., c. C-47.1, which came into force on January 1st, 2006, and, contrary to the Cities and Towns Act, allowed municipalities to regulate by distinguishing different parts of their territories and creating different categories.
This new bylaw allowed the racetrack to operate within a new framework that distinguished the noise emitted by the racetrack from the noise emitted by other sources, and divided the racetrack's activities into three categories: (1) regular activities, (2) special activities, and (3) trials. The bylaw established general norms applicable to all categories of activities, namely the maximum length of the season and daily hours of operation. In addition, each activity category was given its own parameters. In the case of regular activities, each vehicle had to be equipped with a muffler. Objective noise level limits were set, measured at the source: limits for every idling vehicle and limits for the vehicles taken as a whole at the noisiest point on the track. Furthermore, noise at the noisiest point on the track had to be measured via a permanently installed sound meter that transmitted its measurements in real time to the City's police department, and the information thereby obtained was to be deemed as accurate evidence against the racetrack operator. A maximum number of vehicles allowed on the track simultaneously was also set. As for special activities and trials, they were not subject to objective noise level limits, but rather to norms aimed at limiting their impact via various restrictions on when these two categories of activities could take place, namely: maximum number of special activities per season; total number of days per season for each of these categories; total number of days and weekends when these categories of activities could take place during the months of July and August; holding of these activities on holidays; possibility of holding these activities on consecutive weekends; duration of trials during the same day, etc. For example, the bylaw limited the total number of special activities and trials to 52 days a year (out of a 194-day operating season). This was reduced to 36 days by a 2009 bylaw.
The evidence showed that noise complaints in the municipality diminished considerably in the years following the adoption of the challenged 2006 bylaw. However, dissatisfied with the compromise attained, a group of racetrack neighbours took action in 2007, seeking judicial review of the 2006 bylaw.
FIRST INSTANCE
The trial judge rejected most of plaintiffs' many arguments, and found that municipal officials were in good faith throughout the events that led up to and included the 2006 bylaw's adoption. However, the trial judge found part of the 2006 bylaw unreasonable because it allowed the racetrack to operate 36 days a year without any objective limit on the level of noise that could be emitted. This permission constituted, in his opinion, an unreasonable exercise of the City's discretionary power to regulate nuisances. The trial judge therefore struck down all bylaw's dispositions dealing with special activities and trials. The trial judge also added that the same part of the bylaw ran contrary to the general prohibition against pollution found at section 20 of the Environment Quality Act, R.S.Q., c. Q-2, which reads as follows:
20. No one may emit, deposit, issue or discharge or allow the emission, deposit, issuance or discharge into the environment of a contaminant in a greater quantity or concentration than that provided for by regulation of the Government.
The same prohibition applies to the emission, deposit, issuance or discharge of any contaminant the presence of which in the environment is prohibited by regulation of the Government or is likely to affect the life, health, safety, welfare or comfort of human beings, or to cause damage to or otherwise impair the quality of the soil, vegetation, wildlife or property.
According to the trial judge, not limiting noise 36 days a year amounted to permitting the emission of a contaminant —noise— into the environment in a way that was likely to affect the life, health, safety, welfare or comfort of human beings.
The Court of Appeal reversed the trial judge's decision, considering it to be a judicial incursion into the City's discretionary powers. Relying on Catalyst, the Court held that the bylaw fell within the range of possible reasonable outcomes that the City might choose from when considering the wide variety of factors before it —whether those factors be social, economic or political. Indeed, the City had considered and weighed all the relevant factors, and respected the required process for passing the bylaw. Furthermore, the trial judge found that all municipal officials had been in good faith throughout the process, and the bylaw had not been enacted for improper purposes.
With respect to the bylaw's compatibility with section 20 of the Environment Quality Act, the Court held that in the absence of applicable provincial regulation, the City should be given deference in the means it chose to regulate noise emitted from the racetrack. The Court found no conflict between the general prohibition against pollution found at section 20 —described by the court as broad and context-dependent— and the City's discretionary power to choose a means of regulating noise from the racetrack that did not include limits in decibels.
When it was rendered in early 2012, the Catalyst decision was welcomed by many as clarifying many questions involved in the standard of review applicable to municipal bylaws. But at issue in Catalyst was a taxation bylaw, not one dealing with the environment.
The Mont-Tremblant decision gives us a better understanding of the standard of review applicable to municipal bylaws dealing with environmental issues. In addition, the Mont-Tremblant decision demonstrates that despite general prohibitions against pollution enacted at the provincial level, local municipalities may retain a wide margin of discretion, which allows them to enact bylaws specifically tailored to the unique needs of their locality. Given the prevalence and variety of municipal bylaws dealing with environmental issues across Canada, and given that most provinces have enacted a general prohibition to pollute in terms similar to section 20 of the Environment Quality Act, the Mont-Tremblant decision could likely serve as a useful precedent for years to come.
An application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada from the Court of Appeal's decision was served to the City and the racetrack on October 7th, 2013.

Hillary Clinton Shielded Top Adviser In Spite Of Sexual Harassment Claims [VIDEO]
You Can Have my Meat When You Pry It from My Cold, Dead Hands
by Jennifer Davis in politics 4 Comments
The New York Times broke a story last night that will be sure to garner quite a reaction in the #MeToo era. During her 2008 campaign, it seems that Mrs. Clinton made the decision to keep one of her senior advisers on her 2008 campaign even when she became aware that he had sexually harassed a young subordinate. That's right the woman who painted herself as a fierce defender of women during no fewer than two campaigns, threw a young woman right under the bus when it suited her to do so. Now I know that this comes as no surprise to those of us on the right. We have known for a long time now what a raving hypocrite Hillary is when she starts extolling her virtuous record of "defending women". Like she did for Juanita Broderick? Like she did for that girl whose rapist she laughed about getting off with a lesser charge in 1975? Yeah, no thanks.
The whole situation becomes even more deliciously ironic since Mr. Burns Strider, the adviser in question, was her faith adviser. Her FAITH adviser! That is rich considering that this is the same Hillary Clinton that defended partial-birth abortion during her last campaign in 2016. My question was "What did he do for her?!", evidently he sent her scripture readings every morning throughout her campaign.
Burns Strider (left) and Hillary on the campaign trail
When the behavior of Mr. Strider was brought to Mrs. Clinton's attention by her campaign manager in 2008, she decided NOT to fire him but did decide to dock Mr. Strider's pay. However, his prior bad acts did not keep her from hiring him again for her 2016 campaign. His behavior finally caught up with him when Mr. Strider, also the founder of the American Values Network, was fired by the Clinton campaign due to allegations that he had harassed yet another young female aide. The details of the harassment were enough to make your skin crawl. From the New York Times:
"The complaint against Mr. Strider was made by a 30-year-old woman who shared an office with him. She told a campaign official that Mr. Strider had rubbed her shoulders inappropriately, kissed her on the forehead and sent her a string of suggestive emails, including at least one during the night, according to three former campaign officials familiar with what took place."
*Shudder*. Ironically many latecomers to the #MeToo movement have tried to tie the inspiration for the movement to Hillary's failed 2016 campaign. However, as we all know, it was actually actresses Asia Argento and Rose McGowan who brought it to the attention of the country-as VG Jodi explored in her piece here.
Her Highness did not take the criticism lying down though, she took to Twitter to tell us all that "…all women should be heard…". Interesting how that one word changes SO MUCH. Wasn't she just the one in November saying that all survivors of sexual assault should be BELIEVED? My how a few months changes everything.
And last night:
Oh well, I guess we should really just chalk this one up to "business as usual" for the Clinton's. After all, they have a very long history of lying to the American public about everything from not having sex with interns to real estate deals gone sideways, about how all those donations from countries who wanted favors from Madame Secretary went through the Clinton Foundation…what is one more epic lie? I venture that no one else will be shocked by this latest revelation about Mrs. Clinton and I most certainly can say #MeToo to that.

There is a war on women after all, the abusers happen to be liberals.
On the Bright Side!, she was exposed & thrown under the bus by one of her most staunch and loyal defenders & excusers, the New York Times. Which seems to mean she is Finished, Over, Toast, and now has their fork stuck in her back. That gives me a warm feeling, after all the years of watching her, with their support, throw so many others under her bus.
Jennifer Davis says:
I guess you are right about that. There is the silver lining.
Perhaps she has been living in hope all this time – simply upset no one (except Bill!) has molested her?


One thing's for sure, American's love barbecue! While the Northwest isn't known as a hotbed of barbecue, we still have many delicious, mouth-watering barbecue restaurants that make for some tough choices of where to eat. Take a look at our favorites here in Oregon and click the links to find out more. Pick one near you, or take a 'Road Trip' and try several this summer.
While the cuts of meat and cooking methods are important, many have a type of sauce that they swear is the best.
Eastern North Carolina Vinegar Sauce uses no tomato. Instead you'll find a combination of vinegar, cayenne, black pepper, crushed red pepper, hot sauce and salt. Piedmont or Lexington-Style Dip changed barbeque history by introducing ketchup. This is a tangy, vinegar-based sauce that includes ketchup to give it some color and sweetness. South Carolina-Style Mustard Sauce is similar to North Carolina-style, but adds mustard sauce, due to the areas German influence.
Texas-Style Mop or Basting Sauce is another unique style and can include beef stock, vinegar, Worcestshire, salt, pepper and garlic. Kansas City-Style Sauce dominates barbecue. This is a thick, sweet and tangy sauce that can have quite a variety, ranging from peppery and spicy to extra vinegary.

New York's premier display fireworks company since 1949.
About Ustim.young2021-12-17T11:37:59-05:00
As a child, Robert Young (1916-1996) felt if he burned the bright colored streamers that were left scattered on the ground after a parade, their blaze would make a colorful fireworks display. What started as a childhood fascination, grew into a hobby and eventually a career and a legacy. In 1949, Bob founded his own company and Young Explosives Corporation has been family owned ever since.
Today Bob's son, Jim, is President of the company. With over 500 shows a year and 200 employees during our busy season, Jim and his employees have taken Young Explosives to a new level. Although Young Explosives may be larger than Bob ever imagined possible, the importance of a family owned business is something kept close to the heart and something Bob would be forever proud of creating.
Established in 1949 by Robert Young in Rochester, NY.
Prior to starting Young Explosives, Robert Young enjoyed fireworks and pyrotechnics as a hobby. He learned from Italian-Americans, who brought their style and art form of fireworks to the United States.
On July 4, 1976, the United States of America celebrated the 200-year, Bicentennial, anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.
The result over the next decades was an increased demand for professional fireworks displays.
As of 2019, Young Explosives is producing between 475-500 shows a year. Our employees span the entire state of New York, and we've grown to include 4 distribution hubs outside of Rochester, NY. We have found our niche providing fireworks for 4th of July celebrations, private events, weddings, carnivals and fairs, and sports games.
Our business has changed a lot since 1949 but our mentality has remained constant. We are proud to be a family owned and operated small business in New York.
FINEST INGREDIENTS
IMPORTED AND USA MADE PRODUCTS
We have an enormous inventory of aerial shells at Young Explosives that allows customers to have a variety of effects in their show. Our shells range from 2″ to 12″ and come in a variety of different colors and styles, as well as specialized shapes such as hearts, stars and smiley faces. Ground effects are a great way to add depth and variety when fired alongside aerial shells and ground effects are perfect for smaller events. We offer hundreds of different types of multi shot effects. Our hand made set pieces are perfect for weddings and birthday parties.
Products imported from 5 trusted and reliable manufactures
Handmade multi-break shells
Premium effects and materials
Even though today's marketplace deals heavily with imports, Young Explosives still hand crafts a few thousand fireworks every year. The tradition of building fireworks has been passed down from generation to generation.
Without our staff, Young Explosives wouldn't be what it is today. Our staff is easy to work with, experienced, and dedicated to their profession.
Young Explosives Corporation is fortunate enough to have three generations dedicated to the business. Robert Young's grandsons, Brian and Tim, are following closely in their father and grandfathers footsteps.
Our facilities are built and utilized to the highest standards. We are consistently training our staff and updating our business to meet industry standards.

The NBAA's National Safety Forum has met for its third annual gathering, with conversation focusing on three of the NBAA Safety Committee's 2017 top focus areas – fitness for duty, airport and ground handling safety, and loss of control in flight.
Taking place on the last day of NBAA-BACE, which was held in Las Vegas, Nevada, on October 10-12, the event aimed to provide information and practical tools designed to enhance the safety of business aviation operations. Interactive conversations between presenters and the audience helped facilitate the exchange of information.
David Ryan, chair of the NBAA Safety Committee, characterized fitness for duty as "our most fundamental issue." Two moderators of this segment of the forum – Greg Farley of John Deere Aviation and Jeff Wofford of CommScope – and three panellists – Dr Quay Snyder of Aviation Medicine Advisory Service, Daniel Mollicone from Pulsar Informatics and Kent Stauffer of Constant Aviation – noted that fatigue can lead to procedural lapses, increased distractions and errors.
Mental health was discussed as an influencer effecting performance, and there were suggestions that maintenance technicians working long shifts should be evaluated after 10 hours on the job. Farley also introduced NBAA's new draft Fitness for Duty Policy.
Airport and ground handling incidents – which Ryan called "our most frustrating and expensive issue" – were addressed by several speakers. The importance of conducting airport risk evaluations was noted, alongside details on the National Air Transportation Association's Safety First program and the need for heightened awareness being the key to any safety procedure.
The need for good high-altitude wake turbulence decision making to avoid loss of control in flight was the final topic covered at the forum. This segment featured a recent case study of the Challenger/Airbus A380 encounter over the Arabian Sea, with panelists discussing the best practices for awareness, prevention and recovery from loss of control during inflight situations.

Exploitation is Not Just A Super Bowl Problem
Awareness of human trafficking spikes on Super Bowl weekend, but Women's Initiative Director Natalie Gonnella-Platts explains why this sad reality deserves more attention.
Article by Natalie Gonnella-Platts February 1, 2019 // 5 minute read
The Super Bowl garners attention for more than sport and advertising, with anti-human trafficking advocacy making notable headlines across the last decade. Now, whether mega-sporting events like the Super Bowl and World Cup yield a sizable increase in sex trafficking remains an ongoing debate, increasingly challenged by experts and advocates alike. Empirical evidence is lacking, further demonstrating the immense need for greater research and data analysis on the issue overall. Regardless, the outpouring of awareness and mobilization year over year is impressive.
But if you are outraged by the perceived threat of exploitation in the midst of one of the most watched events in the world, you should be outraged by exploitation period. Though the forms may look different, every day in every country people are enslaved and abused. Women and children are particularly vulnerable, especially young women and girls.
When it comes to modern-day slavery, women and girls together account for more than 70 percent of trafficked persons globally, with girls representing two out of every three child-trafficking victims. Imagine how different these numbers could be if even a fraction of the advocacy and attention human trafficking receives ahead of a football game was sustained and expanded upon globally.
As Polaris Project's Bradley Miles pointed out ahead of Super Bowl LII in Minnesota, "All this is a one-day snapshot into what otherwise is a 365-day problem. The same traffickers that are committing trafficking ...during the Super Bowl, they're going to wake up in the morning on Monday and do the same thing."
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, in the United States "of the nearly 23,500 runaways reported to [the Center] in 2018, one in seven were likely victims of child sex trafficking". And a 2011 analysis by the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics on suspected trafficking incidents revealed that nearly 50 percent of victims identified over a two year period were 17 years of age or younger. In Sub-Saharan Africa, children accounted for 55 percent of identified victims in 2016, with forced labor being the most common form of abuse. And in Central America and the Caribbean, over two-thirds of detected victims were girls.
While stronger coordination, legislation, justice systems, and improved data collection and survivor services are very much needed, so too is prevention support for those at risk generally. Efforts to educate and build resilience and opportunity among vulnerable communities are important mechanisms for curtailing modern-day slavery and manipulation from the outset.
Traffickers notoriously play on vulnerabilities. Poverty, isolation, and displacement further exacerbate the danger. In the face of inequality, lack of opportunity, and desperation, young women and adolescent girls are married off as child brides, sexually exploited, or subjugated to domestic servitude. Amid ongoing conflict, youth are recruited for use as forced laborers, child soldiers, and armed combatants, at times even being coerced to serve as human shields and suicide bombers. As the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime stressed in the latest iteration of their annual report on human trafficking, "from girls forced to wed to boys made to cook and clean, militants are using trafficking as a tool to boost their control in areas where the rule of law is weak."
Greater prioritization and investment in programs that support at risk populations, like young women and adolescent girls, can yield significant impact. For example, in the United States organizations like PCI are working to educate vulnerable youth on the signs and risks of trafficking. The organization provides services like mentoring and social-emotional learning to better equip young people with resilience and the ability to make positive life choices.
Internationally, organizations and social impact brands like NOMI Network, Beulah London, and others not only raise awareness of the widespread issue of modern-day slavery among consumers, but also work to break cycles of poverty. This includes investing in skills training, social services, and economic opportunities for survivors and those at increased risk of exploitation.
Drawing attention to human trafficking is critical, but it is a gross disservice to those affected to limit advocacy and action to a single event like the Super Bowl. From the media to public and private sector stakeholders, concerted and sustained efforts are needed now more than ever.

Feast of the Presentation of the Lord
First Reading: Malachi 3:1-4
1 "Behold, I send my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts. 2 But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; 3 he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, till they present right offerings to the LORD. 4 Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the LORD as in the days of old and as in former years."
Psalm: 24:7-10
7 Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in. 8 Who is the King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, mighty in battle! 9 Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory! [Selah]
Second Reading: Hebrews 2:14-18
14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage. 16 For surely it is not with angels that he is concerned but with the descendants of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make expiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
22 And when the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord") 24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, "a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons." 25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27 And inspired by the Spirit he came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law, 28 he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, 29"Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word; 30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation 31 which thou hast prepared in the presence of all peoples, 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to thy people Israel." 33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him; 34 and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, "Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against 35 (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed." 36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phan'u-el, of the tribe of Asher; she was of a great age, having lived with her husband seven years from her virginity, 37 and as a widow till she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. 38 And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem. 39 And when they had performed everything according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth. 40 And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him.
Reflection for the day: "The glorious St Simeon also was very happy… to carry Him as did Our Lady… we do this when we endure with love the labours and pains He sends us, that is to say, when the love which we bear to the Law of God makes us find His yoke easy and pleasing, so that we love these pains and labours, and gather sweetness in the midst of bitterness. This is nothing else but to carry Our Lord in our arms. Now if we carry Him in this way, He will, without doubt, Himself carry us." — St. Francis de Sales


Will pick asap. In car.
20.04 Darel Young, RB WASProbably a stupid move not going with the last team defense, but my thinking is that Young scores 3-4 TD's next year and that may be enough to put him in as a starting RB in those weeks.
Its ok, I have asked and asked for them to fix it, no response. I think they blocked it anyways because of my b fest. But then again if we kept the pace up, before even I lost interest, I bet this whole cluster mess would not of happened.Pick in a moment and I will say this is by far the worst survivor draft. It takes a lot for me to lose interest.
No PM from Phwnix. Way to end this draft on a high note. #####ed about the pace calling g everyone pathetic, added nothing to the discussion of picks, ended up timing out twice and forgets to PM people. Been a pleasure Phenix.

Robert "Bobby" E Edwards Sr, 73, of Avon, formerly of Beech Grove, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, November 28, 2018 surrounded by his family after a long battle with COPD.
Bobby was born in Beech Grove, IN on December 27, 1944 to William and Rosa (Burge) Edwards. He worked for Mouron & Company for many years as a welder before retiring. Bobby loved the West and cowboys. He read Western novels, was a big fan of Louis L'Amour, Tom Clancy, and of course, the Duke - John Wayne. He sometimes would practice quickdraw with himself in the mirror. He enjoyed poker and his scratcher tickets and his grandchildren would often bring him scratchers. He loved music and his tastes ran from everything from Queen to the Temptations to Bob Seger and Buddy Holly.
Above everything else, Bobby loved his family. His wife of 45 years, LaDonna was the light of his life. He adored his family and torturing his kids. He doted on his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren, he loved the babies.
Bobby is survived by his wife, LaDonna (Barks) Edwards; his children Linda, Tabitha, Vanessa (Cindy), Robert Jr, Eric (Donna), and Nikki (Bill); his 10 grandchildren; his 5 great-grandchildren; and his brother Roy Edwards.
Bobby is preceded in passing by his parents William and Rosa Edwards; and 15 brothers and sisters.
Funeral Services for Bobby will be 12 PM Noon, Monday, December 3, 2018 at Fountain Square Cremation & Funeral Services, 1420 Prospect St, Indianapolis, IN 46203. Visitation will be 2-6 PM Sunday, December 2, 2018 at the Funeral Home. Burial will follow Monday services at Floral Park Cemetery.


So it runs naturally for me to try and heal illnesses through "alternative" means. By the way, I'm in no way saying medicines are bad, just that I don't understand them and when I don't understand something I try to avoid it at all costs.
Now before I'm chastised for denying my children medicine. I don't. In fact, I gave Emmeline some Calpol today for the first time in over a year, for a temperature that she's been harbouring for the last twenty four hours. I don't feel bad for doing this, in fact I love Calpol as much as Emmeline loves the taste of it but what I don't like is when people use medicines at the slightest sign of a snivel.
I thought I'd share a few remedies with you all that I've either used habitually for a long time or in a few cases, I've only recently found. I haven't yet tried them all but they are in my little medicine recipe book.
First of all is the amazing echinacea. At the first sign of a cold, I take as much echinacea as I can and this always seems to lessen the severity. Taking echinacea can increase the amount of white blood cells produced which fights infection and in studies, it has shown to improve immunity in some cases. You can buy echinacea tablets in supermarkets and health shops and you simply pop one in water, leave it to dissolve and drink it in one go.
Ginger tea is fab when you feel bunged up and generally a bit rubbish.
Mix all of the above on the stove and leave for half an hour so the water gets fully infused with the ginger. Keep the pot covered all the time so it doesn't evaporate all the goodness. Strain all the solid ingredients out and warm the tea up again on the stove. Drink a few times a day.
Raw garlic is great for when you feel a cold coming on. I've never done it but eating one clove and then gargling with salty water has been known to stop a cold in it's tracks. Yuck, I'm not sure I could eat straight raw garlic!
If you are developing a cough then a crushed garlic clove, a teaspoon of honey, some fresh lemon juice an drink this a couple of times a day until it clears.
Chewing on fresh parsley can help bad breath.
If you have greasy hair then over washing it can just make the problem worse. Mix a tablespoon of vinegar with warm water and pour through your hair after you have washed it. You can either leave it in or rinse with warm water afterwards. Vinegar is actually an amazing product, I may write an entire post just about it's capabilities.
Steam bowls! These are great for head colds. Fill a bowl with hot water and add 5-10 drops of essential oils such as peppermint, eucalyptus and tea tree. They'll help put some life back into you.
Home made vapour chest rubs. I've never tried this before but certainly will next time someone claims a blocked nose. Using an air tight container, mix 1/2 a cup of coconut oil with about 10-12 drops of peppermint essential oil. Use this as you would a traditional chest rub.
Chamomile tea has been proven to sooth a throat; it has anti-inflammatory properties so is a great medicine to keep in your cupboards.
Gargling with salt water can kill infections and reduce swelling.
Making a tea out of liquorice root and ginger root can have marvellous effects on a sore throat and a cold. By boiling water and adding 1/4 cup of liquorice root (not liquorice the sweet!) and a fingers length of ginger root. Leave to simmer for 10 minutes and then pour into mugs.
Do you have any remedies that you could add to this list?

Yosemite National Park experiences a Mediterranean type of climate (Köppen climate classification Csa) with hot and dry summers and mildly cold and wet winters.
It lies in the Sierra Nevada of Central California with Sierra National Forest at its southeast and Stanislaus National Forest to its northwest. Yosemite is a land of giant sequoia trees, lakes, mountains, meadows, glaciers, waterfalls, granite cliffs amid extensive biological diversity. The park has five vegetation zones: woodland, lower forest, upper forest, subalpine and alpine.
Summers are long, hot and lack significant rainfall as the average high-temperature shoots to 90°F (32.2°C) in the peak of July. Winters are mildly cold with the average low temperature of 25°F (-3.9°C) at the peak of January.
The climate varies with elevation in Yosemite with a drop in temperatures, increase in rain and snowfall at higher altitudes. Rainfall mainly occurs in the winter months as the annual precipitation averages around 36" (914.4mm). Higher elevations experience rain up to 50" (1270mm) annually at a level of 2600 meters above sea level.
Snowfall is abundant to the tune of 65" (1651mm) during the period between November to March. Spring and autumn fare better regarding the weather compared to the summer and winter.

May and September are the best months to visit Yosemite National Park when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds have not swelled up. Summer is the peak season with heavy road traffic, less availability of campsites and premium rates for everything.
It does not rain much during late spring and early fall, and a majority of the trails are fully accessible as the snow melts on the ground in these periods.
Late May is the best time to view waterfalls roaring with freshly melted snow while September weather is great for hiking along the trails.
The period from November to March is a time to avoid Yosemite National Park as the winter months are cold and the ground logs heavy snow.
Majority of the rainfall occurs in the winter, which is a dampener for moving on the trails. Rain and snow shut down many trails and roads as a large section of the park close during the cold season. Low temperatures do not support the cause either, as lower accommodation rates and snow activities such as skiing and snowshoeing are the major attractions of winter.
Yosemite is prone to forest fires in the long and dry summer. Forest fires damage natural woodlands, though it clears off the dead vegetation and spurs new growth.
The Rim Fire in 2013 destroyed nearly 500 acres off natural habitat as the park closed for the tourists. Another large fire, the Ferguson Fire closed a big section on the western boundary of the park in August 2018, which was the largest closing in thirty years.
January is as cold as it gets in Yosemite with the average low temperature around a freezing 25°F (-3.9°C). With 6.5" (165.1mm) of rain, January is the wettest month of the year. Weather in January »
February sees the winter temperatures rise a little to average in the range of a cold 28°F (-2.2°C) to a warm 53°F (11.7°C). The sun shines intermittently for an average of 6 hours a day. Weather in February »
March is a cold month in Yosemite with average temperatures in the range of a frigid 31°F (-0.6°C) to a mild 58°F (14.4°C). Rain is persistent with 5.3" (134.6mm) over the space of 10 rainy days. Weather in March »
April brings much-needed warmth with the drop in the rain to 3" (76.2mm) and a gradual rise in the temperatures. Spring sees average temperatures in the steady range of 37°F (2.8°C) to 63°F (17.2°C). Weather in April »
Many sunny days, average temperatures in the range of a comfortable 42°F (5.6°C) to 73°F (22.8°C) range and the scarce crowd makes May one of the best times to be in Yosemite. Weather in May »
June starts the summer and the tourist season in Yosemite with sunny weather. The rain and snow disappear from the ground as the average temperatures rise in the warm range of 48°F (8.9°C) to 82°F (27.8°C). Weather in June »
Average temperatures range from 54°F (12.2°C) at night to a hot 90°F (32.2°C) during the day. It is common for the mercury to cross 100°F (37.8°C) on many days with a few days even blazing at 110°F (43.3°C). Weather in July »
August is a hot summer month with average high temperatures around 89°F (31.7°C) and the average low temperatures around 52°F (11.1°C). Yosemite summers are dry with long days (up to 15 hours of daylight). Weather in August »
September is one of the best times to visit Yosemite with mild temperatures, cloudless skies, and an absence of moisture and rain. Temperatures mostly range from 47°F (8.3°C) to 83°F (28.3°C). Weather in September »
October lies in the cool autumn season when the average temperatures drop to the moderate range of 38°F (3.3°C) to 74°F (23.3°C). There are many sunny days with the lack of significant cloud cover and humidity. Weather in October »
November is a transitional month from fall to winter that sees the first arrival of snow. Fall season gathers snow up to 3.6" (91.4mm) as the temperatures plummet to a freezing 30°F (-1.1°C) at night. Weather in November »
December is a cold winter month with the average temperatures in the range of a freezing 28°F (-2.2°C) to a mild 48°F (8.9°C). The sun rarely gets a chance to break the cloud cover. Weather in December »
