i put some of this on my prifile but here so. i am 61 yrs. old and just started using the computer about 2 years ago. before that i ve never tough one. i move here from wy. i was working in the big horn mt. i am shy and so dont do new things very offen. but when i came back to blm. i just deceide to teach myself to use a computer. i went to the lib. and got on and i was hook. my sister got me this computer a couple of month ago and am i glad i got it. i dont watch much tv so it really great veing this. i go to a lot of sites. ve another blog on google go to iesa.org and ihsa.org for our local high school and jr. high. it really great go to tvland where i watch leave it to beaver, also go to hulu go to about 3 sport site where i can watch sport on web cam go to earth cam and other sites like facebook. also love listerning to radio from all over. if anyone ve any cool site to go to be glad to hear about then. so there r a lot of stuff i still dont know how to do but i mess around and am learning. i am lucky that my sister put everything on for me so i know i am all right as far as something happening, if i ve trouble i just email her and she walk me thur or come over. i also love going to ceoexpress.com where i can read a lot of newspaper from all over and i love the message boards from rival .
my first post here i will be posting on stuff happening and what i think. would love to get feed back good or bad my first will be on the bcs or as i call it the bs. there is no way they will allow tcu or boise state to play for the so call national champion. and while they love to put down boise schedule the truth is most teams do not play good out of conf. game. i want this to happen a 16 teams playoff as in the fcs. there r 9 conf. and then 7 at large no limst on teams from any conf. or there can be it not that important. play on campus also no teams can play a non bs menber. i know the blow will holler but the truth is they pick teams on how well they travel not how good they r. back to boise thet r trying to get a so called big name team to play and been turn down 10 x so far. now this would be a away game. so to the people who complain they dont play anyone get on teams who wont play then. now on the health care, i am mostly against it but what i dont understand is why r they spending all this time on it when unemployment is so high.when it start to get much better then they can worry about other thing. and yes i know they can do more than 1 thing at a time but what the hurry. do u know a lot of people who dont ve insurance r people who r young and dont want it because they ve other things to spend their money one.

Britain's population of gray squirrels exploded after North Americans introduced them in the 19th century. But now the Isle of Anglesey is fighting back - by mass extermination of grays and bringing back the native reds.
By Ben Quinn | 11.05.09
* CS Monitor correspondent.
LONDON - They're small, furry, and undeniably cute - and yet the explosion of Britain's nonnative gray squirrel population has long been regarded as a conservation crisis.
But now nature lovers are looking with hope toward the Isle of Anglesey, an island off the northwest coast of Wales, which is the setting for a successful local reintroduction of Britain's native red squirrel.
An endangered species, their numbers nationwide have been ravaged by a pox carried by the larger, more aggressive grays, which were introduced as living garden ornaments from North America in 1876 by upper-class families.
A project on the island has seen thousands of grays, which are highly destructive of hardwood trees, trapped and removed. Reds (which also have their detractors) have been simultaneously brought back, and conservation groups are hoping to do the same in other peninsulas and islands.
Dr. Craig Shuttleworth of the Anglesey red squirrel conservation project said: "There has been pessimism about how the red squirrel can be brought back, but we are close to succeeding here. It's true that we have been helped by geography - the fact that we are on an island - but there are lessons that can be applied elsewhere."
Such projects have not been without controversy, however. Some animal rights supporters opposed the mass killing of grays. Nevertheless, public support has been forthcoming for projects such the Anglesey one.
Dr. Shuttleworth, whose work is supported by the Prince of Wales, added: "People sometimes ask, 'What is the point?' and say that reds are common on the European continent.
"But we can't lose sight of the fact that reds are a very popular part of our natural fauna here in Britain. If we can't safeguard them, then what hope do we have in protecting other species which are less popular with the public?"
The main qualities for the project formed the mainframe of the topological surface. The software output consisted of an extensive array of subtly varying surface conditions. According to their performative behavior the population of over one hundred individual entities where scrutinized for their fitness according to different criteria, such as the potential to fulfill the program, the performance as structural entity and the affect generated by its appearance. This process reduced potential candidates to a very small number. Finally this candidates ran trough a series of algorithms (various remeshings, subdivisions, optimizing the size of the spatial pockets etc.) which eliminated all candidates but one.
This technique can be described as an evolutionary process driven by a series of intensive forces, such as the specific compartmentisation of the pouches, the loadbearing qualities of curvilinear conditions and the allover sensual experience of the space. The numerous explorations and investigations of SPAN into the nature of topological bodies, throughout the recent years, served as basis for the design process. One of the results of these investigations was a series of models only dedicated to seamless, continuous circulations within architectural bodies and apertures in complex curved geometries. These two fundamental architectural conditions, opening and circulation, are discussed in the project of the Austrian Pavilion for the Shanghai Expo 2010 in an alternative way.
The lecture describes the design process of the Austrian Pavilion for the Shanghai Expo 2010, as well as the construction method. The lecture depicts the advanced fabrication methods involved in the construction of the Project, such as the use of simulation softwares, building information modeling and CNC fabrication.

Singer Morrissey in hospital after collapsing on stage
The 50-year-old former frontman of 1980s pop band The Smiths fell ill just one song into his concert Saturday at the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon, southwest England.
Morrissey's knees buckled and he slumped to the floor as he came to the end of opening song "This Charming Man", The Smiths' 1983 breakthrough hit, The Daily Telegraph newspaper's website said. He was then dragged offstage.
"Just after 9:00 pm we got a call to a 50-year-old man who was reported to be suffering from respiratory problems and was unconscious," said a spokeswoman for the Great Western Ambulance Service.
"We sent a paramedic in a doubled-crewed ambulance.
"When they arrived they found a conscious patient who was not feeling well at all. They made an initial assessment and took him to the Great Western Hospital (in Swindon) for further assessment."
His condition was not thought to be life threatening, she added.
"The stage went dark and he was taken off the stage and then his band all left the stage," The Daily Telegraph's website quoted 40-year-old eyewitness Mark Taylor as saying.
"There was a wait of about 25 minutes before one of the stage crew came on and said Morrissey had left the building, and that he was seriously ill.
"Everybody started booing, thinking 'here we go again'. He has a bit of a poor track record for cancelling his concerts."
The Mancunian singer has been touring North America and Europe since releasing his ninth solo album, "Years of Refusal", in February.
He has cancelled several concerts during the tour, including dates in Florida, North Carolina, California, Britain and France.
"Morrissey was brought in to the Accident and Emergency department," said a Great Western Hospital spokeswoman.
"He has been seen by the medical team. At this stage his condition is stable."
* and I was hoping to see him December 5th out at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio,CA. Anyone who been to a Morrissey concert knows that the show depends on his mood ~ been to one that was real short since he got pissed off at someone in the crowd and then another show that was awesome.
... and he was so handsome ~ Mr. White Breasted Nuthatch
