Former Strikeforce heavyweight Brett Rogers (11-3) claims he is innocent of all charges stemming from a June 28 arrest in Apple Valley, Minn.
Rogers' legal counsel today released a statement professing the fighter's belief he is not guilty of the three felonies and one gross misdemeanor filed against him following an alleged altercation with his wife.
"As in all criminal matters, Mr. Rogers is presumed innocent until and if he is proven guilty," the statement from Mohammad & Jaafar-Mohammad, LLC read. "Mr. Rogers asserts his innocence in this matter and is confident that the facts of what happened will vindicate his assertion of innocence.
"Mr. Rogers has never been charged with any domestic related incidents or assault offenses. He is a caring and loving husband and father that has recently found success as a heavyweight mixed martial arts fighter. We urge all media and interested individuals to withhold judgment as to what occurred during this incident."
Rogers, who in June competed in the Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix, allegedly strangled and punched his wife after reportedly admitting to drinking earlier in the night.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed with Rogers' counsel that he bonded out of custody and will return to court for an omnibus hearing on July 25.
The 30-year-old suffered a submission loss to Josh Barnett in an opening-round grand-prix fight. The EliteXC vet opened his career with a 10-0 mark but has dropped three of his past four fights while facing notables such as Fedor Emelianenko and Alistair Overeem.
Following his arrest, Rogers was released from the promotion.

Irrelevant points of view
CNN reports on how Apple products in China are being made by underpaid Chinese. They earn US Dollars 2 per hour.
This is equivalent to about Indian Rupees 20,000 per month. In Calcutta, a young man earning Rs. 20,000 can rent in the poshest areas of the city for about Rs. 10,000, eat extremely well for Rs. 6000 and use the balance for transport, entertainment and savings.
He would have a somewhat better standard of living than a young American earning $3000 per month in say, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Is the American point of view about the rest of the world becoming increasingly irrelevant?


text: wolbai 80 Posted December 29, 2013 ... I have overseen which came along with the new POD HD firmware 2.20 in November: POD HD 500 Master volume control in relation with L6 link. And today I had some time to check it out at the rehearsal room with my DT50 Head and the POD HD 500. Although there is already a Thread in the POD HD forum I thought it is worth to place my feedback here, because a lot of non-DT25/50 consider this new firmware as worthless. But this is a totally different story for the DT25/50 user which are using this equipment for live performance / professional usage IMO. And I think this tiny little feature is ground-breaking! One of my biggest challenges on the DT50 in the past was to manage the bloody high volume amount which comes along when turning the DT25/50 master volume in the area of 50% and above. Unfortunately this was the only option in the past to push the power section for tube saturation of some amps like the Marshall Super Lead Plexi, Park-75, which I am using quite frequently. Pretty the same way as the original amps expecting to make them shine. I therefore have started 1 1/2 years ago using (several) power attenuators to run my DT25/50 in master volume level on approx. 70% to benefit from power section tube distortion. But approx. 6 months ago I stopped using a power attenuator, because all of them I have used (also a RIVERA Rock Crusher) where not able to deal with effects like delays, reverbs and some mod effects in a proper way IMO. So I completely changed my presets by lowering the DT25/50 master volume to approx. 25% without using a power attenuator anymore. I have compensated the loss in distortion / tube saturation of the power section by intensive usage of dist pedals and tube compressor. All in all this was somehow a bit of a compromise in tone. As of today I am aware the master volume control in the POD HD 500 is a mighty feature. And it is not only just another way to control volume. It is THE way IMO: I have raised the DT25/50 master volume back to old position (when used with a power attenuator) to approx. 70%. And I have reduced the overall volume with the master volume on the POD HD by reducing from max to approx. 45%. The outcomes: - pretty much more headroom for clean tones; my existing clean tones had some kind of distortion level due to the low Dt25/50 master volume setting (not really surprising). - the tones on distorted sounds with amps like, Marshall Plexi Lead, JCM800, Soldano are (again) stellar. - The overall tone seems not to suffer by lowering the POD HD output as the input level for the DT25/50 IMO. - No need for LVM mode or a power attenuators IMO any more to manage high volume. As a consequence of the new POD HD firmware 2.20 I need to rework my presets by reducing the usage of distortion pedals, tube compressor pretty much in the same way I had my presets when using a power attenuator. A lot of distortion I need can be done now again just with the amp-Equing. The weird thing to me is that this mighty feature is available somewhere pretty late in the life cycle of the Dt25/50 amps (DT50s are no longer available in bigger Online stores like THOMANN). Anyhow: one of the BEST features which came along with a POD HD firmware releases in the last 2 years IMO for L6 link device users and a very welcome year end gift from Line6 !!! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grand Theft Auto is now firmly established as one of the biggest game series of all time, and certainly the biggest on PlayStation 2. As well as pushing forward the case for free-roaming gameplay, where the player can approach the game as they wish, GTA also boasts more than its fair share of, shall we say, morally dubious content. How to follow it up, eh?
Well, beyond creating another GTA, the answer for Rockstar North is Manhunt. The game puts you in charge of a convicted murderer, James Earl Cash, who wakes up after his 'execution' to find that he is still alive. But if he wants his freedom, he's going to have to fight for it - he's imprisoned inside Carcer City, which is jam-packed with violent thugs on the lookout for him. The situation has been set up by the mysterious Director, a sicko who's keeping tabs on the whole thing via CCTV, and who gets off on extreme violence. And there's going to be plenty of that because, if he's to get out, Cash is going to have to kill whoever gets in his way. In really nasty ways.
Of course, it's not like there's a particularly nice way to go about killing someone. But the death scenes in Manhunt are spectacularly, hideously violent - this game carries an 18 certificate for a very good reason. While the subject matter of GTA isn't exactly Sunday School material, the world of organised crime is at least portrayed in a relatively caricatured and stylised manner. This is actually genuinely nasty and, if you're a parent reading this, please don't get it for your kids.
Assuming you're alright with highly graphic violence, you can stealth your way through Carcer City. Patiently picking off thugs one by one is the name of the game - that, and watching scenes of suffocation, glass shards being thrust into highly pressurised arteries, machetes hacking heads off, and more. Think Splinter Cell, if Sam Fisher had gone to a particularly bad borstal, and you're pretty much there.

NATICK, MA -- The Longfellow Clubs is going green and on-site for its energy needs. The Massachusetts club company recently signed an agreement to receive a substantial portion of its electricity, heat, domestic hot water and swimming pool heat directly from an on-site, 75-kilowatt cogeneration facility that will be owned, installed and operated by American DG Energy.
The system, using combined heat and power equipment, will produce energy on a smaller scale. The project is valued at $1.75 million to American DG Energy over the course of the long-term agreement.
American DG Energy will produce energy at the facility and sell it to the Longfellow Clubs at a price lower than local utilities. The clubs will pay only for the energy used, without paying any capital or operating costs. The energy-efficient system will decrease greenhouse gas emissions by up to 306 tons each year, the equivalent of taking 52 cars off of American roads.
"At most health clubs and sports centers, the second largest expense, behind payroll, is utilities. They are energy hogs," says Laury Hammel, owner of The Longfellow Clubs. "We had been analyzing our energy efficiency mix and considering ways to decrease our carbon footprint, when we were contacted by American DG Energy. We were thrilled to learn about a program that would allow us to save money and provide a more efficient way to generate electricity and heat."
The Longfellow Clubs has locations in Natick, Wayland, Sudbury and Franklin, MA.

(Pocket-lint) - It may be 3D-ready, but LG has come up with one of the most luscious 2D TVs of the year so far. Part of its LX9900 Series (which also includes a 55-inch model), this 47-inch Direct LED-backlit LCD TV has features and quality in spades that make its 3D-readiness a mere future-proofing footnote.
Perhaps it's the sheer slimness that grabs the attention initially; it's just 31mm in depth - especially stunning given direct LED sets tend to be much fatter than edge LED-lit models. Equally as impressive is its secondary remote. Operating just like a Nintendo Wii Nunchuk, what is certainly the flat TV industry's finest and friendliest user interface just got better. It's now possible to point the nunchuk at the screen and completely replace the old-fashioned remote … and if you need to access complex commands that the nunchuk can't, a "virtual" remote pops-up on the 47LX9900's screen.
Navigating the TV begins at "Home", which constitutes six pop-up icons along the bottom of the channel you're watching. Choose "TV guide" to display a simple, high-res, 8-day EPG for Freeview HD, which floats over the current channel and shows schedules for 2 hours over five channels - and in a highly readable large font.
Other shortcuts reach an inputs screen, which only shows live devices (such as an attached Blu-ray player and a USB stick in either of this set's two USB slots), while NetCast takes you to LG's nice-looking, though sparse, online content portal. Better is "MyMedia", which accesses digital files via either USB or Ethernet. The latter is a let-down, with no wireless option available save for a USB dongle, but the file compatibility is brilliant - every single test file of ours played quickly and stably, including DivX HD and WMV HD files. Elsewhere on "Home" you'll find a few nunchuk-friendly games and a "Quick" menu that puts a virtual wheel of features on the screen for you to point and click at.
The 47LX9900's ISF Certification means its picture can be fully customised to rigorous industry standards - and in this TV's case, that achieves high contrast, believable blacks, and no trace of motion blur in the 400Hz mode - but it's important to know that ISF doesn't apply to the 3D image. Professional calibration of TVs is undertaken by placing a sensor beside the screen and monitoring real world levels of colour, something that's hard to do with 3D's two separate images; where do you put the sensor? Behind each lens of the 3D glasses? Simply put, there is no industry standard for measuring the quality of 3D images just yet.
That said, the 47LX9900's 3D image isn't too bad on first viewing. It's certainly a great deal brighter than Panasonic's plasmas, and fairly comfortable using LG's 3D glasses (unusually, two pairs are provided) though there's a definite problem with crosstalk echoes - when an image meant for your left eye is visible to the right, and vice versa - despite the fast panel.
Our only other complaint about the 47LX9900 is the sacrifices that have had to be made to make it so thin. Attaching a HDMI into the side of the TV is no problem, but the three ports on the rear will need folding HDMI cables if they're not to get in the way of wall mounting. And if you're going to spend this kind of cash on the flattest TV we've seen, you've got to put it on show.
A nunchuk-style remote control! Why did nobody think of this before? Its 3D-ready badge might grab the headlines, but away from those rather mixed images the 47LX9900 is a fabulous TV for all occasions. Rich in colour and contrast and blessed with perhaps the ultimate user-friendly interface, this 47-inch Direct LED-backlit TV plays host to some of the best Blu-ray and Freeview HD pictures we've ever seen.

Grain alcohol may bring back memories — or flashbacks — of college dorms. But Gilardi's, a sleek Italian bistro in Springfield, Mo., offers a house-made Limoncello with lemon zest, sugar, and the 190-proof grain alcohol Everclear. It's served straight up in a sugar-rimmed cordial glass — hardly a means to a sloppy end.
The drink is no anomaly. In the last few years, exceedingly potent alcohols have moved beyond the frat house and into the mainstream palate, thanks to the revival of pre-Prohibition cocktails and our unending thirst for the latest and greatest. "There's this new level of connoisseurship among drinkers in search of novelty," says Noah Rothbaum, editor in chief of liquor.com. "It's not about flavor; it's about the experience."
What kind of alcohol levels are we talking about? While your everyday Absoluts and Macallans average between 80 and 100 proof, some specialty liquors come with proofs as high as 196, or 98 percent alcohol. But drinking them is not all about getting blasted: some higher-proof alcohols, especially whiskeys, can in fact be more flavorful at a higher proof because they're not cut with water, says Rothbaum.
Josh Childs uses overproofed alcohols like Four Roses bourbon and green chartreuse, both 110 proof, sparingly at Trina's Starlite Lounge, his bar in Somerville, Mass.. "Overproofed spirits can enhance the flavor of cocktails," he says. "But it's a rinse or a spritz. Otherwise all you're getting is the heat."
Sampling some of these high-proof liquors, however, requires a passport. Balkan 176, a 176-proof vodka made in Bulgaria, is sold in more than 20 countries, but not yet in the U.S. That may be a good thing: it comes with 15 warnings (including one in braille) about dangers of drunk driving, alcohol poisoning, and drinking while pregnant. "There's no product in the liquor trade that has more caveats," says Dale Sklar, CEO of the liquor's London-based distributor, Wine & Spirit International. "And the marketing guys will say to me, 'You know that sells more, don't you?' "
Sklar also imports 179-proof absinthe, which he began doing 10 years ago, after British travelers started bringing the legendary liquor home from weekend trips to Prague. "I thought absinthe was going to be a flash in the pan, but the more dangerous something is, the more people seem to want it," he says.
Glasgow-based Pincer Vodka, whose Shanghai Strength vodka is 88.8 percent alcohol, insists that danger isn't a factor in its vodka's appeal — for Pincer, superproofing is a matter of convenience and environment. "Shanghai Strength is 234 percent stronger but reduces packaging waste and carbon footprint by the same amount," says CEO Jonathan Engels. "But it is meant to be a mixer. It is not intended for drinking straight." Of course, that's what they all say.

Clay Matthews has 6 sacks this year…6. That is terrible. Yes, he has two picks and two forced fumbles (including 1 pick six). Those plays were definitely huge. But Clay Matthews is in there as a sack guy and he's not getting sacks. He is getting some pressures, but he's not getting home. So, What else is going on besides Matthews simply underperforming?
The Packers are 26th in the NFL in sacks right now. That is also terrible. I don't think it's possible at this point to overstate how much we miss Cullen Jenkins. (Jenkins has 5.5 sacks for Philly – and he's not even playing DE, he's playing DT.) While TT and MM and Capers usually do a decent job of preparing guys to step up in the case of injury/departure, they have not made the kinds of adjustments needed to fill the void left by Jenkins. Walden isn't cutting it pressure-wise. Wynn and Wilson don't bring enough. Zombo is injury-prone and simply not that effective anyway. We need a beast on that side to disrupt the passer.
One thought I had about 10 seconds ago, was that the Packers ought to consider moving Bishop to the right side. Hawk apparently is entrenched in the middle (despite often being ineffective), but either DJ Smith or Francois seem to be solid enough to leave in there in place of Bishop in the middle. I particularly like Francois because he appears to be better in coverage than the other 3 MLBs. Bishop is a nasty pass rusher (5 sacks from a MLB position) and if he had a few more chances to bring it opposite Matthews, I think they could end up being a very disruptive duo. We're at that point where we might as well consider something like this because if we don't, our secondary is going to continue to get shelled by opposing QBs because nobody can cover WRs for 10 seconds on each play.
Or – I suppose we could also look at Francois or DJ Smith at ROLB. Both of those guys would be better than Walden.

Dangerous Animal Declarations
Under Minnesota State Statute and Minneapolis City Ordinance, domestic animals that have bitten or demonstrated aggression must be investigated to determine if that animal is a threat to the public's safety and should be declared "dangerous." MACC conducts these investigations and makes dangerous animal declarations. Declarations are determined based on the severity of the incident, including serious bites and unprovoked aggressive behavior.
There are three types of dangerous animal declarations:
- Potentially Dangerous Animal
- Dangerous Animal
- Destruct Order
Any animal that bites a person or domestic animal and/or is subject to dangerous animal proceedings may be impounded and kenneled at the MACC shelter for the duration of the quarantine and/or until compliance is met. The owner is responsible for paying all fees incurred during quarantine at the shelter.
Declared animals must comply with certain requirements to safeguard against future attacks or aggression. MACC conducts bi-annual compliance checks on all dangerous animals in Minneapolis to ensure these requirements are met.
Dependent on the situation there is also the chance of no declaration being made on the animal, but the owner will be issued a warning and the incident will remain on file should another incident occur in the future.
Potentially Dangerous Animal
Owners of potentially dangerous animals must meet the following requirements:
- The animal must be muzzled and on an approved leash controlled by an adult any time the dog is not inside a dwelling or in an approved kennel or fenced yard. All outdoor kennels and fenced yards must be inspected and approved by MACC prior to use by the dangerous animal.
- The animal must be spayed/neutered.
- The animal must be microchipped.
- The animal must be registered with MACC annually and must have an annual "dangerous animal" city license.
- The animal must be kept in a secure area when persons other than family members are present inside the home.
- No off leash park permit shall be issued to a dangerous animal, and use of the off leash parks is prohibited.
- Other requirements as specified by city ordinance.
Dangerous Animal
In addition to the requirements for potentially dangerous animals (full declaration), owners of dangerous animals must also meet the following requirements:
- The owners of the animal must have a current insurance bond in the amount of at least three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) to cover any personal injuries inflicted by the animal.
- A clearly visible sign indicating that a "dangerous animal" is on the premises must be posted in the front and rear of the property.
- Any dog declared dangerous must wear a state-mandated dangerous dog tag.
Destruct Order
Destruct orders are issued for the most serious incidents and for noncompliance with dangerous animal requirements.

Issues in Design: Theory + Culture of Design
Course No. ACD 416 Credits: 3.0
Faculty Gary D. Sampson
What exactly is the "culture" of design? Design writer Guy Julier recognizes a shift in the design profession from "a multidisciplinary to an interdisciplinary activity." This assertion will become our point of departure for exploring the interdisciplinary aspects of contemporary design practice and theory in relationship to the complexities of culture and society, especially with respect to urban environments. We will move from conventional considerations of the history of modern and postmodern art and design, to a broader contemporary understanding of design with respect to globalization, consumerism, technological change, sustainability, infrastructure, city planning, urban design and alternative trends. Visual Culture Emphasis course. Fulfills post-1960s art history requirement.

There's only one way to see Canada and that is on a good, old-fashioned family road trip.
Just about every person I met while driving across Canada last summer told me that it was their dream to take that trip some day. Many others recounted their own nostalgic memories of making the trip when they were kids.
I was lucky enough to be doing it and also one of those people with fond memories. My parents drove me and my brother out West twice while we were growing up. I credit those trips for having sparked my love of travel and of this country. My two boys were about the same age that we were when we did it so I thought this was the right time to show them more of Canada.
Our journey would take us from Montreal to Vancouver Island. Our motto was "Tofino or bust."
Over a little more than two weeks, the changing terrain of Canada unfolded before us like the chapters of a book. The buildup began in Chapter One as we traversed northern Ontario. The Prairie chapter introduced a new landscape. The tale hurried towards a climax in The Rockies then slid towards its denouement on Vancouver Island. The drive home across America's interstate was our epilogue.
We didn't have a lot of time to get to the Pacific Ocean and back again so very little was left to chance. Our itinerary was planned with military precision. If we arrived at a destination and it was raining, that was just too bad. We weren't sticking around to wait for the sun to appear. We had to reach our next milestone the following day in order to stay on schedule.
Our first stop was Sudbury, home to the giant nickel. It poured rain when we got there. Not a good start to our odyssey, but the sun shone the next day and it was clear enough that we could see smoke thinly pouring from the Inco Superstack that towers over the town. It doesn't sound like a sight worth seeing, but the colossal size of the chimney dwarfs such icons as the Eiffel Tower or Statue of Liberty. The only freestanding structure in Canada that is any taller is Toronto's CN Tower.
The drive out of Sault Ste. Marie along Lake Superior National Park is among the most scenic in the country. The views along this stretch of highway with its rocky shores and cliffs lining the vast waters of the world's largest lake are stunning. The road's beauty was enhanced by the low sun that lit the landscape with golden light as we drove it in the late afternoon.
After a night in the pleasant city of Thunder Bay, we drove a short while to admire the rushing waters of the mighty Kakabeka Falls, a natural attraction of which I was completely clueless before spotting a highway sign notifying us of its existence. It was just one of many such discoveries that we would make as we explored the nation.
The drive across Northern Ontario is long. It is punctuated by sights of extreme beauty, but there are long stretches of forest and lake that are so similar that it becomes monotonous. As we drove, I remarked on the number of abandoned hotels and restaurants which died along with the popularity of road trips and the rise of chain businesses. I thought they would be a great subject for a photo essay some day.
As you leave Ontario and cross the border into Manitoba, the terrain gradually changes. The rocky scenery of the Canadian Shield and its plentiful bogs, ponds, lakes and ragged pine trees thin outs. Eventually, it disappears, as if by magic, and you find yourself rolling across the flat prairie landscape with its distant horizons and big skies.
I've often heard people say how boring the flatness of this Prairies is, but it's usually people who have never actually set foot there. Spend some time in a field of yellow canola flowers beneath a blue sky with an impossible number of white clouds overhead and you quickly realize that this landscape is as beautiful as any other in the country.
In Winnipeg, we had dinner by the Forks. The national historic site is known as a place where different cultures have met over the centuries. In that spirit, I dined on pierogi poutine, the perfect meeting of Ukrainian immigrant cuisine with French-Canadian comfort food.
We learned about some of Canada's history in the rustic Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum in Brandon, Manitoba and we got another dose of history in the much glossier RCMP Museum in Regina, Saskatchewan.
We headed north to Saskatoon, a city that is too often overlooked by travellers since it is off the main stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway. I'd like to say that we explored it, but we were there to visit family so never got beyond their backyard.
A mad dash across the border into Alberta took us into dinosaur territory where we visited Dinosaur Provincial Park, one of the most amazing sources of prehistoric fossils anywhere in the world. At first, it all looks like rocks, but after some coaching from a guide, you realize that just about all of those stones under your feet are actually bits of fossilized wood and bone. We admired more complete dinosaur skeletons at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, one of Canada's most impressive museums.
Sorry, Calgary, but we had no time to visit. We had an early appointment the next day with the Rocky Mountains. Those snow-capped peaks shining in the distance were calling to us.
When we drove into Banff National Park on Saturday, we discovered that it was the last long weekend of the summer. This isn't a holiday celebrated by us Quebecers so it didn't factor into our calculations. This is clearly not a good time to visit the most popular national park in the country as everyone is in a panic to do something before summer slips away and they all wanted to do it there.
The lineups to drive to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake were staggering. Cars were parked along the side of the access roads for kilometres as if they had been abandoned during a zombie apocalypse. The shores of the lakes swarmed with people like ants on a sugar cube.
Despite the long lines and the crowds, the iconic vistas were worth the wait. We enjoyed mesmerizing views of mountains, lakes and rivers all day as we slowly made our way through Banff National Park into Jasper National Park. As for wildlife spotting, we weren't disappointed. Two black bears, numerous elk and a bighorn sheep were among the large game we saw during our drive.
Our plans to stay in Jasper were thwarted as all affordable accommodation had been snapped up long ago for the long weekend. We had to backtrack out of the park towards Edmonton where we scored an overpriced hotel room in the town of Hinton. It worked out fine because we got to admire the gorgeous scenery in the eastern edge of the park and were treated to some closeup encounters with magnificent elk grazing by a lake at the side of the road.
The next day, we returned to Jasper for a bit of horseback riding then ventured further west across the Rockies into British Columbia and down into the Thompson River Valley where we slowly descended into the semi-arid landscape of sage and cactus around Kamloops. The scenery looks like it is lifted straight from the scenes of a cowboy movie, not something you'd expect to see in Canada.
After a night's rest, we took the long drive to the vibrant city of Vancouver where we ditched our car and stayed in a downtown hotel for two nights. We explored the city by public transit and bicycle, hitting the usual tourist spots of Stanley Park, the Vancouver Aquarium, the Harbourfront and Canada Place.
By now, we had driven many kilometres, seen many sights and packed a lot of experiences into a short time period, but morale in the car remained high. The key to surviving this kind of trip is to not drive too many hours without stopping for a break and not over schedule yourself with activities so that you don't leave any time for discovery.
We got a break from driving by taking the ferry to the B.C. capital, Victoria. It is best described as cozy. Much of our visit centered around walks by the city's Inner Harbour, with the Gothic splendour of the vine-covered Fairmont Empress Hotel on one side and the grandeur of the provincial assembly building on the other. The harbour was busy with colourful sailboats and other vessels as well as the coming and going of noisy floatplanes ferrying passengers to Vancouver and beyond.
We boarded one of the boats in the harbour, a massive zodiac operated by Prince of Whales, to go whale watching. We sped out into the sea, bundled in red survival suits and orange tuques, both necessary because of the cold wind we faced while speeding across the frigid water.
After some fruitless searching, we eventually came across a pair of orcas hunting seals by the rocks of some small island. Our guide was excited that we'd see them devour something, but we never did get that Mutual of Omaha moment of a whale eating a seal. We got close enough to see the tall fins of the whales and their distinctive white and black markings and that was satisfying enough.
From Victoria, we made the long drive to Tofino. Anticipation grew as we drove the last stretch of winding road through forests and mountains to our end destination. At last, about an hour before sunset, we arrived at the gates of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on the western shore of Vancouver Island. We drove to Long Beach, possibly the most beautiful in the country, and waded across the wide, sandy flats in the golden light of a setting sun. Low patches of fog clung to the tall pine trees behind the beach. We let the frigid waters of the Pacific Ocean numb our bare feet. In the sand, we scrawled the number 6,324. That's how many kilometres we drove to get there.
The town of Tofino was delightfully laid back. Many of the people we spoke to told us how they had come there for vacation and never left. It was easy to see why.
The following morning dawned foggy and grey, but we had signed up for a surfing lesson. Clad in figure-hugging wetsuits and booties, we dragged our long boards to the beach and were instructed on the finer points of climbing up and catching a wave. The water was freezing, but the wetsuits did their job and it was hardly noticeable after a few minutes. After many attempts, punctuated by lots of falling and laughing, we all succeeded at standing upright on our boards, propelled by the waves beneath us. Mission accomplished. It was time to go home.
The next day was the beginning of our long trek back to Montreal. We pointed the GPS towards Seattle, then rocketed across the U.S. towards Chicago, crossing the border at Sarnia, Ontario. Those days were not without adventures, but they paled compared to the experiences we enjoyed exploring Canada.
While a few weeks of a road trip across Canada barely scratches the surface of what this country has to offer, it is a pilgrimage that everyone should make. Now when me or my kids see a news report about a tiny Saskatchewan community or read about the home town of some hockey hero, we can see it in our mind's eye and know that we've been there.
As for the rest of the country, everyone's excited to be hitting the road again this summer for a voyage to Newfoundland and Labrador.

When younger; I would think of a thought or desire and share it with my mother; immediately it would be cut to ribbons; she would slip in a horrific debasing dehumanizing limiting negative toward me! A " you cant" statement, or " you will never" statement! This was a psychopath; so it was drilled at me at a specific moment of attack through the awareness of my weakness!
With human beings, no one would call my sensitivity weak! However, with a psychopath; they look for weakness 20 times more then the average person! And I was attacked at that moment and placement! Their poison goes into you and renders you useless! Its like cutting someone down to the core center of human essence and self; self respect; self decency! Cutting you down in the areas of self development, self worth, self esteem!
Normally, a normal person would walk away or punch or attack someone talking to them in such a brutally disgusting degenerative way! However, When you're a small child and this is someone in the parent roll; you get concussed! You're not sure what to do!
Because psychopaths are allowed legally around children they have legal custody; these children are ruined and destroyed! It does not take much work to destroy the mind and emotions and soul of a child! It is the psychopaths tendency to destroy humans! They find themselves above the human race! Killing humans is their pastime! Killing of humans in any form; disfiguring them!
Adolph Hitler! The worst none sadistic psychopath in history; I believe; His Niece came to live with him! She had ran out of relatives to live with! And he was the only one open for the assignment! At one point after several months of living with Adolf Hitler, she complained to her Doctor; she said Hitler would constantly scream at her day n night! And he would have sex with her all the time! She said she could make it through the sex; but the sexual practices and things he was into; she could not handle them! She killed her self 6 months later!
Its important to understand that a normal human being cannot associate with a psychopath or sociopath! The human can be taken advantage of very easily! And a normal human will get enraged at the words of a psychopaths with minutes!
FBI agents that have interviewed serial killers have complained concerning the speech of the serial killer!
After about 3 minutes of listening to a serial killer; the FBI agent wanted to beat the the serial killer to death! The words they used were in human descriptions; offensive and brutal in nature! These words and their placement in the english language had no place being presented in front of other humans! These were fighting words; causing the FBI agent to want to strike out and defend or fight!
Even the words of the serial killer were of no conscious regard to present life or the life of the person they were speaking to! Words can create Un acceptable pictures within the receivers thinking!
Im guessing; Im not sure what the average association is with a mother n child! Meaning, how many times does a child and mother interact within a life time; 50 thousand, 100 thousand, 200 thousand; I don't know! How many times does a mother interact with a son of 18 years; 40 thousand, 60 thousand! I don't know!
I believe I must have interacted with my mother about 50 thousand times! I don't know; 20 thousand! Who knows, but the numbers give a clue that it's a big big solid number!
If one or 2 phrases from the psychopath can break down the very fabric of the human condition within the receiver of those words! Negative words destroy; What condition would a child be in after being presented with those phrases and more, of about 50 thousand times! The child would be ruined and deranged and destroyed with many adverse psychological affects!
The problem with being around the psychopaths thinking; they will destroy you to the core!
Its these negative effects I grew up with from various sources Im attempting to eradicate! The number line is full of negative thinking! And each level of negative thinking must be dealt with and erased!
The goal is pure positive thought!
Lets assume you want a car; you desire one!
So you tell yourself its to much money I cant have it! This is negative thinking!
Im not good enough for a car; negative thinking!
Ill never have anything in my life; negative thinking
Who will pay for the insurance and maintenance; I wont get it; negative thinking!
My mother told me it's a bad idea to have a car; negative thinking!
Im not rich enough; only rich people can have cars; negative thinking!
I cant get the right color, they always break down, Ill just use the bus; forget it; negative thinking!
The point;
I desire something! What is it; it's a specific car! The goal is to eliminate all negative thinking from the desire chain to the final manifestation and end goal!
When I am specific about what I want and imagine; it will start to grow wings and fly, and grow clothing and walk! Soon, the Universe will show up with a car in that description that I so love!
The Universe will create a path for myself and the car to meet! And the Universe will create a wonderful natural way for me to uptain the car!
Negative thinking causes resistance! Im literally telling the Universe to stop! Im telling the Universe that I don't want a car so please don't bringing me one!
If I ask the Universe for a car and theirs no emotional interest; it wont happen! The weaker the signal; the less results! If it's a weak signal, I might end up with a toy car 3 inches long!
I am what I think about! I go toward what is in my thinking!
I looked for poverty to give me relief! And that is what I found! I wanted away from the people, places and things of my present! So, I dropped out of everything! No one cared! And they did not care if they ever saw me again; and they did not care what happened to me!
My mother abandon me by the time I was 10 years old; she would have done it when I was three years old if she could have!
I know better then to care what the people of my past think of me! Its ridiculous to care what a bunch of psychopaths and sociopaths think of me! In fact; its better to run and never go back these!
The future concerns my thinking and the ability to manifest a desire into a real object or goal!
Im working on the processes of goal setting! What do I want! What do I want from my life!
What do I want?!
creative center for music and art creation
What do I want;
And all of these manifestations must have a positive path line! All negatives must be removed!
For example; when I write these goals; I feel a sense of terror and fear and abandonment and horror and control and negative evil darkness and limiting beliefs and limiting views of myself! And all this must be eliminated from the path!
So, I know what my work is! It is to learn the process of illuminating the negative from this path!
Im starting to write out my future as if its already happened!
Im writing out a day in my life with my wife; what we are doing, how I love it! And its all in the future, it has not happened yet!
I write about creating music in my music studio, I write about being in my house and truck!
I write about the new future Im creating in my mind today!

Liberty Radiance ready for Eastern Sectionals at Hershey
January 31, 2014 | Hershey, Pa.
Constructive criticism from judges at the Seventh Annual Capitol Critique, held Nov. 10 in Arlington, Va., helped Liberty University's synchronized skating team fine-tune its program for Saturday's Eastern Sectional Synchronized Skating Championships in Hershey, Pa.
"We went to the critique and we heard what the judges had to say and we took their feedback and made the changes that we needed to make," Liberty Radiance Head Coach Tatiana Payne said. "Now, we have a much stronger program."
After auditioning its revised routine — set to the theme of the Broadway musical "Phantom of the Opera" — between periods of two ACHA Division I men's hockey games at the LaHaye Ice Center in November and December, Liberty Radiance will skate it for the first and final time in competition Saturday morning.
"We'll be skating at the Hersheypark Arena, which is a really big stadium, so it will be really fun for the girls," Payne said. "They do quite a few big shows there. It is one of the bigger venues."
The competition itself will be held in both the 7,500-seat Hersheypark Arena and the 10,500-seat Giant Center to accommodate skaters from 150 participating schools. Liberty is in the Eastern Sectional, which includes Boston College, Colgate, Maryland, New Hampshire, Princeton, Syracuse, and Vermont.
"The quality of the skating is very good at the East Coast Sectionals and our section is one of the most challenging," Payne said. "We definitely have a stronger team than we've had in the past, so we're hoping to do well at the competition."
Liberty placed seventh at last year's event, but Payne believes a top-three finish is very possible for the 10-member team.
"We took the best of the skaters and put them together and build the best program, so it's fairly strong," Payne said. "We're hoping this year to be able to at least medal. I think that's pretty realistic for us as long as we skate a clean program."
She said the skaters have polished their technical moves and team precision on the ice. They have spent the past few weeks working on enhancing their artistic impression and bringing out more elements of the Broadway musical.
"We're at the point now where all we're trying to do is build the characters of the program to make it a little more dramatic," Payne said. "Now that they've got the program itself down pretty well, we're trying to create a little bit more drama, to bring it to life in a sense."
The costumes are black with silver designs and the skaters' faces will have an artist's touch.
Liberty Radiance skaters and alternates include junior captain Katie Scuilla, junior McKenna Orcutt, junior Kelsey Rieschl, graduate student Vanessa Garland, sophomore Caleigh Gallagher, freshman Rebekah Leahy, freshman Rebekah Hicks, freshman Katherine Lash, sophomore Megan Mutchler, junior Rachel Halvorson, senior Caitlin Fontaine, sophomore Emily Boyles, freshman Adrielle Benner, and junior Shannon McVeigh.
Fontaine, an assistant captain, was able to remain in the program despite spending this semester on an internship in Washington, D.C. She drove down to Lynchburg, Va., last weekend for her only two practices of the new year before the competition.
Since it is still classified as an open collegiate team, Liberty Radiance won't have the opportunity to advance to next summer's United States Figure Skating Collegiate National Championships, but it may as soon as 2015.
"Next year, we're hoping to move up to the collegiate level," Payne said. "That would enable us to hopefully qualify for nationals. A handful of the teams that we're competing against field more than one team so they have a collegiate and an open collegiate team. We don't have enough skaters to field teams for both, but we might be looking to do that in the future."
Coming up, from Feb. 28 through March 2, Liberty will host the Eastern Sectional Figure Skating competition at LaHaye.

Is it possible to master Augusta National? As golfers get better and equipment advances, significant alterations have been made to the famed course to keep players on their toes.
This $34 poster by Bill Younker—just one small section of which is above—shows all the ways the course has changed since Bobby Jones opened it 79 years ago. On the top is a side by side comparison of each hole in 2012 and 1934. At the bottom, a timeline shows the alterations that have been made each year.
Golfers are certainly improving, but more importantly, advances in equipment technology, such as the use of titanium and graphite in clubs, allow these athletes to drive further, hit shots more accurately, and play the game better. Nike and Callaway, for example, outfit players with top-of-the-line equipment before it's even available to the average golfer.
Back when a certain philandering linksman was unstoppable, some of the biggest changes came to Augusta. Between 1999 and 2006, the course underwent so-called "Tiger-proofing." This was same time that the controversial solid-core golf ball was introduced to the game. The supercharged ball let golfers extend their drives by as much as 20 yards, and Augusta had to adapt.
And as golf tech continues to move forward, Augusta will probably only continue to evolve, as it has for nearly eight decades. It's only a matter of time before they start busting out the windmill hazards. [Fast Co.]

Woman's body identified
The woman found deceased in her car near Preston Avenue on Monday, January 3 has been identified. She is 27-year-old Courtney T. Chambers. According to Charlottesville Police Lt. Ronnie Roberts, Chambers body was discovered in her vehicle in the parking lot of Oxford Hill Apartments at the corner of Madison and Preston avenues by a passerby. She'd failed to return to work from her lunch break. Medical testing on the body is underway, and in an emailed statement, Roberts says there were no signs of trauma.

Doesn't that make you feel so safe. lmao The cops around here are so dumb.
I get a chuckle out of people make fun of people who are seen in public places being judgmental and all.
I'd love to follow YOU on your job and see how "dumb" you are too.
Please have some class and point the finger at yourself before you point it at others.
Barney Fife ha ha ha ha lol
right right and right.
So Hook- is this in the running for 2010's "Worst Lunch Break"?
I think we have a corrupt law enforcement here in the city, although i think the county is far worse off.
Sad, condolences to the family.
Whether the scene was contaminated or not, this isn't the place to discuss it or comment on other people's posts that you disagree with.
Courtney was the wife of one of my oldest friends. She and her husband were and are wonderful people, and I would hate for anyone who knew them to have to read the petty, unnecessary things posted here.
I happened to grab a copy of the St. Louis Post Dispatch this afternoon. As I was flipping through the pages, I noticed this beautiful picture of Courtney Chambers. At first I thought, there is no way this young woman could have died. But as I continued to read, I learned that sadly she had passed away from a heart condition. My prayers go out to her family and her husband of only three years.
Although the internet is a wonderful tool, I hate to see how it can be used to hurt people. A young woman with a long life ahead of her has just passed away and people are making jokes about the scene. I hope and pray the family and friends of Courtney will find comfort in this time of mourning and not read the comments that do not even acknowledge that their beautiful daughter, sister and wife has passed away.
I only saw about fifty cops mucking around the scene acting like it was the biggest thing they had ever seen. Thank god foul play isn't suspected, cause Barney Fife and the other deputies sure contaminated the scene.
Whatever happened to condolences to the family for the loss of somebody's daughter/granddaughter/sister, somebody's friend, girlfriend/wife, etc. Somebody died prematurely, in the middle of going about their day, totally unexpected. But as usual the body shells masquerading as humans that lurk about in our world can only make jokes and find ways to criticize and poke fun at something.
Condolences to the family and friends for their premature loss.
I have no information on Ms. Chambers' death.
Does anyone?
"No signs of trauma" almost sounds like a prelude to "Ms. Chambers died of heart failure."
Not a lot of news on this, but I believe this is her:
Sad story.

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Brunei – Southeast Asian leaders were upbeat Thursday about progress made on an ambitious plan to weld the region into a European Union-style economic community as a counterweight to Asian powerhouse China, while efforts were stalling on South China Sea disputes.
Leaders attending the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Brunei had hoped China would soon agree to start talks on a nonaggression pact to prevent a major clash in the disputed territories that could smoke out their region's robust economies.
But China has given no clear indication when it would agree to negotiate such a stopgap accord, known in ASEAN parlance as a "code of conduct."
The ASEAN leaders said in a joint statement after the summit that they have asked their foreign ministers "to continue to work actively with China on the way forward for the early conclusion of a code of conduct."
"We all agreed to encourage continuing discussions, dialogues and consultations at all levels, especially claimant countries, and to keep the lines of communication open," said Brunei's leader, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, host of this year's ASEAN summits.
Rival claimants, the leaders said, should resolve the disputes peacefully "without resorting to the threat or use of force while exercising self-restraint in the conduct of activities."
Thailand has proposed a meeting of the bloc's foreign ministers where they could again discuss the disputes, before they meet their Chinese counterpart in a diplomatic event in Beijing sometime in October, according to diplomats.
Bolkiah proposed an emergency hotline to avoid misunderstandings, such as when fishermen take shelter in a disputed area amid a storm, an act that could be mistaken for an intrusion.
During the summit, ASEAN leaders also expressed concern about North Korea's latest threats.
Although overshadowed by security issues, an ambitious plan by ASEAN to transform itself into an EU-like community of more than 600 million people by the end of 2015 has sparked more optimism, with diplomats saying the bloc was on track to meet the deadline.
About 77 per cent of the work to turn the bustling region into a single market and production base, first laid out in 2007, has been done, according to the leaders.
Non-tariff barriers and regulatory hurdles that impede investments and business, however, still need to be abolished, they said. They announced that negotiations would start May 9 for a vast free-trade area with key trading partners China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. Free-trade talks with Hong Kong will also be launched.
The leaders of the 10-nation bloc met at a newly built stone and marble building that reflects oil-rich Brunei's economic might, an envy of ASEAN's lesser-developed members. The tiny jungle-clad kingdom of 400,000 people on Borneo island is so wealthy that Bruneians do not pay taxes.
Carl Thayer, an expert who has extensively studied the territorial conflicts, said ASEAN may have committed a strategic mistake of agreeing to a crucial process that could easily be stalled by China, which would not commit to anything that would restrict its plans.
"ASEAN is stuck in a bureaucratic rut," Thayer said.
The battle for ownership of potentially oil-rich territories in the South China Sea has settled into an uneasy standoff since the last fighting, involving China and Vietnam, which killed more than 70 Vietnamese sailors in 1988. The other claimants are Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan.
New skirmishes, however, have erupted in the last two years, involving Vietnam, the Philippines and China, which claims the busy waterway virtually in its entirety.
Concerns have been exacerbated by China's deployment of a patrol ship, equipped with a helipad, to guard its claimed areas and establishment last year of what they called Sansha city on a remote island to administer territories being contested by rival claimant countries.
A tense standoff that erupted last year between Chinese and Filipino ships over the Scarborough Shoal has remained unresolved, prompting the Philippines in January to take a daring legal step that challenged China's vast claims before a tribunal under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. China has ignored the move.
Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said all the five arbiters of the tribunal have been appointed and they could now start looking into the case if they declare they have jurisdiction.
The long-raging disputes have threatened to divide ASEAN. Last year, its foreign ministers failed to issue a joint statement — a first in the bloc's 45-year history — after Cambodia refused mention of the territorial rifts in the communique, provoking protests from Vietnam and the Philippines.
Cambodia, a known China ally, has towed Beijing's line that the disputes should not be brought to the international arena. China wants the disputes settled by negotiating one on one with each of the rival claimants, something that will give it an advantage because of its sheer size.
