Finally, I have a clear thought - What about using a photograph from our tour of the Old West towns in South West Montana? We had enough of them! We had driven through a small town named Hall and I just had to stop and take a picture of this one yard. Looking at it again I thought it might work as the cover photo. Click on the pictures for a larger view. I didn’t really like the way it turned out. I had to have black bands top and bottom because the photo would not resize properly (the book in in the full ...

The Asian greenish warbler ( Phylloscopus trochiloides ) is a splendid example of ring speciation. Although only a small number of examples exist, ring speciation is evolutionary change measured in space (geographically) rather than time (the normal course of evolution). The warbler’s habitat circles the Tibetan Plateau, with the exception of a small gap in Northern China most likely the result of habitat destruction. Moving from 12 o’clock in an anti-clockwise direction around the Tibetan Plateau there are five forms of the species, P. t. virianus , P. t. ludlowi , P. t. trochiloides , P. t. obscuratus and P. t. plumeitarus .

I am stiff-necked tonight, spending so much time in this office chair working on the Louis L’Amour book isn’t always a good thing for my neck - or my butt either! LOL (of course that is on top of five hours I spent in the same chair doing so called ‘real work’.  I finished swapping over 59 pages of the original manuscript into InDesign, the final 5 pages are going to have to wait until Monday - been at it steady for three hours tonight and I think I need a break. There is way too much going on this weekend and I probably won’t even turn my computer ... Read Full Story

Six students will learn the basics of coastal navigation and seamanship through team building exercises designed to build long-term friendships and a spirit of reliance on each other as a community. Aboard the 74-foot Brigantine Fritha, operated by the Northeast Maritime Institute out of Fairhaven Massachusetts, the students will spend three weeks of sail training in southwestern New England. Just another outward-bound program you might say! Well not quite. The group will consist of six Palestinian and Israeli students, the program is designed to build bonds of friendship between youths whose communities are torn apart because of wars or political strife, and the co-sponsor ...

First things first, while setting up the InDesign file is not really difficult it is time consuming. Luckily I have a second monitor hooked up to my laptop. I can have the original Microsoft Word manuscript up on the laptop screen and the new InDesign manuscript open on the second monitor. It basically then becomes a matter of copying and pasting the information into the new document. Trying to get the column sizes and stuff figured out can be a bit of a challenge but InDesign is extremely easy to work with. Although I am not quite finished formatting the manuscript for publication, I ... Read Full Story
