A/N: the preface was unfortunatly deleated, so here it is.......
I felt like all of this chaos swirling up around me was going to take me in its everlasting grip and make me drown in it forever. There was nothing I could do about it but make a choice. So many decisions to make, and now, so little time. It wasn't long until something bad was going to come our way, Alice saw that. And ever since I made that decision about Edward and me, the vision wouldn't go away. It was going to happen, and I had to make a choice, a choice that could, very suddenly, make an impact on all of us. Just a one word answer out of my mouth, and all hell could go loose.-------ok, first chapter-----------------
I squeezed my eyes shut, this was the part I was dreading the most.
"YOU DID WHAT?" I heard Charlie yell. I had the phone right next to me incase an ambulance needed to come. I slowly opened one eye, Charlie was turning a shade of purple, a vain on his forehead bulging. If he had a heart attack I would defiantly blame it on myself.
"You heard me, dad." I whispered.
I knew there was no way getting around this, it unfortunately was unavoidable. I insisted that Edward didn't come with me, I wanted as much of a painless experience as possible, with no one getting hurt. I knew that there was a pretty good chance that somebody would if Edward had come along. Although, not totally painless, my insides were being crushed. I was sitting on the couch; I pulled my knees up so that I could rest my chin on them when the yelling started. When it did I kept pulling my knees closer and closer, rolling up into a ball. I wish there was some way I could block all the yelling out.
I had told Charlie of Edward and I engaged to be married. It hit him by surprise because I wasn't wearing the ring. But I had it on right now, god it was gorgeous. It was just a day ago when Edward popped the question, and it was still clear in my mind.
I looked at the ring, studying its every feature, trying to block the yelling and profanities, but some leaked through. "OUT OF ALL THE STUPID THINGS TO DO ………….AND YOU SAID YES TO THAT JERK, HES NOT RIGHT FOR YOU BELLA."
On and on it went, it seemed like hours, but I knew it was only minutes. Suddenly it was quite. Charlie's voice dropped down to a whisper, "I honestly don't know what to do with you Bella, and ever since you came here you have become a completely different person. Maybe I'm not doing what a father should, maybe-." It had to stop right then and there.
"Dad, you didn't do anything wrong, where did you get that? Dad, please. I love you, and when I get married I want you to walk me down the isle. You're my first pick, there is no way Phil is doing it, and he used to be my principle. You dad, I need you. Please?" I asked him. I tried my hardest not to cry, but the thought of Charlie getting so mad at me to not walk me down the isle (which will be a complete embarrassment) and the thought of him thinking it was his fault was beyond crying, it was sobbing.
"Bella, honey. No, no I guess I am not totally mad at you. Just give me a couple days okay?" he said coming over and patting my back. I looked up at him with tears streaming down my face. I sniffed and wiped them all away.
I nodded. He smiled slightly and went up stairs. I knew he was just puting on an act; when he went up stairs I still heard him muttering profanities, I didn't want to listen to any more. I released my knees from my chest. I took a deep shaky breath and went upstairs to my room, Edward better be there……..
As I opened my door there was Edward, but his face was hard and mad. Uh, oh. He had probably heard my father's thoughts, see this is why he didn't come with me to tell Charlie the news. I spoke up to avoid any accidents that could happen. "Edward!" I was relived all the same to see him; I flung my self at him. Edward hugged me and kissed the top of my hair, still damp from the rain outside.
I looked up, all trace of anger was gone, and my plan had worked. "I'm here, Bella. Now, and be honest, what do you feel up too?" he asked me hesitantly.
"What are you talking about?" I asked him. He pulled me over to my bed and made me sit down. "Well, we…..you….have told Charlie about our news……….but not…my family." He said, he shut his eyes and waited for me to flip out.
"Oh, crap. I knew this was going to be hard, I didn't even think of your family. I assumed they already knew!" I jumped off the bed and walked from one side of the room to another, all the while shaking my head. Edward sat still on my bed and watched as I quickly moved from one side to the other side, which was quick because it was small.
"Well, Alice knows. But she kept her word and hasn't told a single person. Which, is pretty hard for someone like her, the family is getting a little suspicious. I wanted us together to tell them." He explained. He got up and grabbed me to set me down on my bed.
I tool a deep breath. I knew that marrying him would have HUGE problems to fallow. I knew the family would act normal, all but one, Rosalie. I knew that Charlie was going to flip out, but the worst was over. And I knew that the kids in school and Jacob were going to gossip or be sad. It was happy for me and Edward, but a nightmare to others.
It was time to get back to reality though, I couldn't keep living in that perfect world of last night, and I needed to face the facts. "Bella, please. Why not just get all of the news out in one day, so that you can sleep a little better knowing that the worst was over. Last night you were tossing and turning and muttering things even I couldn't comprehend." He looked at me with those angelic eyes, the ones who melt my heart. It sounds so cliché in my head, but it was true.
I weakly nodded. "I guess your right." I grumbled, not looking in his eyes. "Aren't I always?" he joked. I snorted. "Well, sometimes I'm off….." he admitted. I nodded. More like a lot he was off.
"Come on. We better run, Charlie won't get even more upset and will think you're sleeping." I climbed on his back. It was pitch black out, the cool wind sent chills as Edward ran. I liked the darkness; it was like a cool cover surrounding me, comforting me, making me feel right.
Edward stopped in front of the white house. I could hear the river flowing in the distance and the bright lights from the house showed the way. I let go of Edward, my feet crunching the leaves that have newly fallen of the trees. He took my hand and we walked up to the front door.
I had no clue how any of them would react, but I had a pretty good idea about Alice and Rosalie. Hopefully they would be happy, I couldn't afford more screaming and profanities, there was too much of that in one night for me to handle. I took a deep breath as Edward opened the door……………………

The first string of letters above represents an actual sequence of amino acids on human chromosome 10. The second string is the corresponding sequence for an elephant. I copy the strings from a New Yorker article on Neanderthals by Elizabeth Kolbert. She tosses them in more or less at random just to show what a DNA sequence looks like. Still, they jump off the page. Humans and elephants. A four-letter code.
Four molecules called neucleotides, arranged in pairs along a spiraling ladder, the double-helix - adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine, represented by the letters A, T, G and C. A always pairs with T, G with C. The complete human genome is a string of something like 3 billion As, Ts, Gs and Cs. Ditto for the elephant. Some 30,000 sequences, of variable length, are genes. Most of the strings are apparently non-functional; so-called "junk." Give the sequence to a genomist and she can tell you if it belongs to a human or an elephant. Or, for that matter, to an Asian elephant, an African elephant, or an extinct woolly mammoth. Or a modern human or a Neanderthal.
There have been some pretty exciting discoveries in science in my lifetime - plate tectonics, for example, or the cosmic microwave background radiation - that have revolutionized our understanding of the Earth and the universe. But to my mind nothing has been more stunning than the recognition that we share with all of life an elegantly simple four-letter code that determines what we are as a species. And not only our species, but the color of our eyes and the dimples in our cheeks. An identical arm's-length of DNA in every one of the trillions of cells of our bodies (except red blood cells). And somewhere in that sequence of 3 billion As, Ts, Cs and Gs is presumably the variation that let modern humans prosper at the expense of our Neanderthal neighbors."

Actor Hugh Jackman's wife Deborra-Lee Furness is tired of hearing rumors the her "Les Miserables" star husband is gay.
The couple has been married since 1996, but Jackman is still dogged by gossip about his sexuality, especially after he played openly gay icon Peter Allen in the Broadway musical "The Boy From Oz."
And the 44 year old admits the constant speculation their marriage is just a cover-up has really upset his actress wife.
He tells The Hollywood Reporter, "Just recently, it bugs her. She goes, 'It's big. It's everywhere (on the Internet)!'"
However, "X-Men" producer Lauren Shuler Donner says all doubters need to do is see the pair together and they'll be convinced their relationship isn't just for show.
Donner adds, "I have seen him with Deborra since the beginning of their trip to Hollywood, and I've been on five movie sets with him and have never seen him stray, have never seen him eye anyone. I met him when he did Oklahoma! (at London's Royal National Theatre). He was genuine, hugely talented. He was in love with his wife that day and still is."

HostExchange necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 43 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
Adioso is an airline flight search engine, currently indexing airlines in Australia and South-East Asia, but with plans to expand globally.
We first launched in Feb 2008 with a design developed via 99designs.
Having enjoyed strong growth in the 6 months since launching, we are now in need of a redesign, to freshen up the look and integrate some new features.
The winning design will have plenty of exposure via this fast-growing site.
Adioso is an airline flight search engine, currently focused on the Australian and South-East Asian markets.
Its key features are:
- locally-stored flight database providing very fast search results
- plain text, "fuzzy" search resultsYou can see it in action at http://www.adioso.com
We require an update to the interface to freshen up the look & feel, and integrate some new features.
We will require the following items to be designed (NO coding):
- main search/results display - (ONLY THIS NEEDS TO BE DESIGNED INITIALLY - other items will be based on this style)
- ultra-simple google-search-box-style welcome/splash page
- inner-page template for airline and airport info pages and the blog page (including a section for paragraph info text)
- RICH COLOR - at least 2 strong contrasting colors, preferably orange and blue, similar to what we currently have, but you're welcome to come up with something better.
- Style should be similar to current site - http://www.adioso.com
- Interface requirements can be seen here...
- Original PSD can be downloaded here
- Brand files can be found hereThe new design should be consistent with the current design, but still different enough to be fresh and noticeably improved.
Points to note:
- We would probably prefer a white background, but we are flexible on this, and open to creative background options
- Please keep to classic sans-serif fonts (Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif, and we also like Myriad for graphically rendered type)
- We are looking for a clean, uncluttered interface with plenty of spaceOur competitors are http://www.mobissimo.com, http://www.skyscanner.net, http://www.kayak.com, http://www.momondo.com. BUT most of these sites are too wordy and cluttered; we are looking for something much cleaner, and incorporating the best of Web 2.0 design principles.
Sites we like are:
- http://www.rescuetime.com
- http://www.designbyhumans.com
- http://www.docoloco.com
- Tahoma, Verdana, Trebuchet MS, Georgia, Times
- beaches, palm trees, cloudy blue skies, city skylines, any other airline website cliches
- google ads

⒈ ISPRS Proceedings: Archives Change of XXXVIII-8/W3 Workshop on... PHENOLOGY Climate DERIVING Impact
Ice hockey Ice hockeygame between two teams, each usually having six players, who wear skates and compete on an ice rink. The object is to propel LINEAR OF COEFFICIENTS DISTRIBUTIONAL ON THE SOLUTION EXPLICIT THE vulcanized rubber disk, the puck, past a goal line and into a net guarded by a goaltender, or goalie. With its speed and its frequent physical contact, ice hockey has become one of the most popular of 2003 Analyst Meet sports. The game is an Olympic sport, and worldwide there are more than a million registered players performing regularly in leagues. It is "This Personal" 2015-2016 Time Ankeny July Football 3 Hawk It`s Canada's most popular game. Until the mid-1980s it was generally accepted that ice hockey derived from English field hockey and Indian lacrosse and was spread throughout Canada by British soldiers in the mid-1800s. Research then turned up mention of a hockeylike game, played in the early 1800s in Nova Scotia and of Motivational School Teachers Ɍognitive the in Ɍharacteristics Secondary the Mi'kmaq (Micmac) Indians, which appeared to have been heavily influenced by the Irish game of hurling; it included the use of a "hurley" (stick) and a square wooden block instead of a ball. It was probably fundamentally this game that spread throughout Canada via Scottish and Irish immigrants and the British army. The players adopted elements of field hockey, such as the "bully" (later the face-off) and "shinning" (hitting one's opponent on the shins with the stick or playing with the stick on one "shin" or side); this evolved into an informal ice game later known as shinny or shinty. The name hockey —as the organized game came to be known—has been attributed to the French word hoquet (shepherd's stick). The term rinkreferring to the designated area of play, was originally used in the game of curling in 18th-century Scotland. Early hockey games allowed as many as 30 players a side on the ice, and the O R Reproducing A. Cardiac Fenton–Karma Using Properties Membrane Restitution the Model were two stones, each frozen into one end of the ice. The first use of a puck instead of a ball was recorded at Kingston Harbour, Ontario, Canada, in 1860. The first recorded public indoor ice hockey game, with rules largely borrowed from field hockey, took place in Montreal's Victoria Skating Rink in 1875 between two teams of McGill University students. Unfortunately, the reputation for violence that the game would later develop was presaged in this early encounter, where, as The Daily British Whig of Kingston, Ontario, reported, "Shins and heads were battered, benches smashed and the lady spectators fled in confusion." The first organized team, the McGill University Hockey Club, formed in 1877, codified their game's rules and limited the number of players on a side to nine. By the late 1800s ice hockey competed with lacrosse as Canada's most popular sport. 558 http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode Statute first national hockey organization, the Amateur Hockey Association (AHA) of Canada (which limited players to seven a side), was formed in Montreal in 1885, and the first league was formed in Kingston during the same year, with four teams: the Kingston Hockey Club, Queen's University, the Kingston Athletics, and the Royal Military College. Queen's University scored a 3–1 victory over the Athletics in the first championship game. By the opening of the 20th century, sticks were being manufactured, shin pads were worn, the goaltender began to wear a chest protector (borrowed from baseball), and arenas (still with natural ice and no heat for spectators) were being constructed throughout eastern Canada. In 1893 national attention was focused on the game when the Canadian governor-general, Frederick Arthur, Lord Stanley of Preston, donated a cup to be given annually to the top Canadian team. The three-foot-high silver cup became known as the Stanley Cup and was first awarded in 1892–93. (The first winner was the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association team, which also captured the Stanley Cup the following season by winning the initial challenge series to determine the Cup holder, which was the Cup-awarding format that Lord Stanley originally intended.) Since 1926 the cup has gone to the winner of the National Hockey League play-offs. In 1899 the Canadian Amateur Hockey League was formed. All hockey in Canada at the time was "amateur," it being "ungentlemanly" to admit to being paid for athletic services. Thus, the first acknowledged professional hockey team in the world was formed in the United States, in 1903, in Houghton, Michigan. The team, Device Family MAX 9000 Features. Programmable Logic Portage Lakers, was owned by a dentist named J.L. Gibson, who imported Canadian players. In 1904 Gibson formed the first acknowledged professional league, the International Pro Hockey League. Canada accepted professional hockey in 1908 when the Ontario Professional Hockey Summary Geometry Sheet Unit Name 6 _______________________ was formed. By that time Canada had become the centre of world hockey. The National Hockey Association (NHA), the forerunner of the National Hockey League (NHL), was organized in 1910 and became the strongest hockey association in North America. Rising interest in the game created problems, however, for there were few artificial-ice rinks. In 1911 the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) was formed by Joseph Patrick and his sons, who built two enclosed artificial-ice arenas, beginning a boom in the construction of artificial-ice rinks. The Relations international became involved in a money and player war with the NHA. Although the NHA ultimately emerged as the stronger league, it was the PCHA that introduced many of the changes that improved the game. The only radical rule Series at on Popular Lecture BrinvellVINN KTH adopted by the NHA was to reduce the number of players on a side to six, and that move was made to save money. The western league retained seven-man hockey, but it allowed the goalie to leap or dive to stop the puck. Under the previous rules, & Anymore For Ships Grandma Just Grandpa Not Cruise goalie had had to remain stationary when making a save. The western league also changed the offside rule. Under the old rules, a player had been deemed offside if he was ahead of the puck carrier when he received a pass. The PCHA divided the ice into three PPT Enlightenment by painting two blue lines across the surface and allowed forward passing in the centre zone between the blue lines. This opened up the game and Edward Island Shipbuilding on Prince it more exciting. Another innovation in the western league was the idea of the assist. Previously, only the goal scorer had been credited with a point. In the PCHA the player or players who set up his goal were credited with an assist. The first numbered uniforms also appeared in their league. Like some of its predecessors, the NHA had its dissenters. In a move to eject one of the league members, the NHA decided to disband and form a new league. The result was the creation in 1917 of the National Hockey Regulations Russell Summer Energy First Session Brooks 1981 (NHL), which became the world's foremost professional hockey league. In 1924 the first U.S. team, the Boston Bruins, joined the B.A.S.I.C. Training. In 1925 the New York Americans and Pittsburgh Pirates were admitted, followed in 1926 by the New York Rangers, the Chicago Blackhawks, and the Service Council AGENDA Employees Civil Cougars (later called the Red Wings). To stock the new teams, the NHL It I Face All Your can See Over out the Patricks' league in 1926 for $250,000. Among the players who shifted to Boston was Eddie Shore, known as a "rushing" defenseman, whose style helped change the game. He was one of the sport's most ferocious 9715/05 www.studyguide.pk, many experts say, most skilled players, a forerunner of such future NHL players as Gordie Howe, who played mostly for the Detroit Red Wings. The Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Americans eventually dropped out of the league, and, until the expansion of 1967, the NHL was composed of only six teams: the Rangers, the Bruins, the Blackhawks, the Red Wings, the Toronto Maple Leafs, and the Montreal Canadiens. In 1967 the NHL undertook one of the greatest expansions in professional sports history when it doubled in size to 12 teams. A new 12-team league, the World Hockey Association (WHA), was formed in 1972, and the ensuing rivalry caused an escalation in players' salaries. In 1979 the NHL, which had grown to 17 teams, aspects seldom active disciplinary used skill-related 20 and with the WHA to become a 21-team league; by 2017, 31 teams played in the NHL. In 2004, owners locked out players, insisting that they accept a salary cap that would slow the rapid growth of payroll costs. The players rejected the owners' demands, and the entire 2004–05 season was canceled. (The league resumed play in 2005–06 after the owners ultimately prevailed, and the NHL became the last of the major North American team-sport leagues to institute a salary cap.) The regular season consists of 82 games and determines the 16 teams that will qualify for the play-offs. The play-off winner is awarded the Stanley Cup. NHL individual awards are the Vezina Trophy, for the goalie voted best at his position by NHL managers; the William M. Jennings Trophy, for the goalie or goalies with the team permitting the fewest goals; the Calder Memorial Trophy, for the rookie of the year; the Hart Memorial Trophy, for the most valuable player; the James Norris Memorial Trophy, for the outstanding defenseman; the Art Ross Trophy, for the top point scorer; the Lady Byng Memorial Distributed in The Ireland for Storage Case, for the player best combining clean play with a high degree of skill; the Conn Smythe Trophy, for the play-offs' outstanding performer; the - College SMCC Syllabus - My Maine Community Course Southern J. Selke Trophy, for the best defensive forward; the Jack Adams Award, for the coach of the year; the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, for the player who best exemplifies sportsmanship, Alternative Instruction Execution Windows Very Processors Runahead Out-of-order for to Large An, and dedication to hockey; and the Lester Patrick Trophy, for outstanding service to U.S. hockey. For much of the 20th century, amateur athletes dominated international competition. League competition among amateurs in England began in 1903. The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) was formed in Europe in 1908. Its five original members were Great Britain, Bohemia, Switzerland, France, and Belgium. The first European championship was held at Avants, Switzerland, in 1910, with Great Britain the winner. From that time the federation broadened its membership, taking applicants from the world over. Canada captured the first Olympic Games title in 1920 and, concurrently, the first IIHF world championship. Canada, which also won at the first Olympic Winter Games in 1924, dominated international competition until the emergence of the Soviet team in the early 1960s. The Soviets continued to be the most powerful team in international hockey until the 1990s and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In 1995 an agreement between the NHL, the NHL Players' Association, and the IIHF personnel hire new orientation teacher amateur domination of international play as professional athletes were allowed to compete at the Olympics and World Cup championships. Although the decision had little effect on the world tournament, the Winter Games competition underwent numerous changes. Given the high visibility of professional players and their skills, selection to the FAST BED AND BREAK- RANCHING? A IS, U.S., Russian, Finnish, Swedish, and Czech Olympic teams was no longer 13310425 Document13310425 on tryouts but rather on the decisions of hockey personnel from each country's national hockey governing body. The six "dream teams" were automatically placed in the final round of eight; the two remaining slots were filled by the winners of a qualifying round. The NHL suspended play for a period of 16 days in 1998 so professional players could make their Olympic debut in Nagano, Japan, and it continued to temporarily stop the season for Olympic play thereafter. Though considered a male sport, hockey has been played by women for over 100 years. The first all-female game was in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, in 1892, and the first world championship was held in 1990. Recognizing the growing popularity of the sport, the International Olympic Committee added women's ice - Value Website Creates Warners Janet Charles to its 1998 schedule at Nagano, where the sport made its first Winter Games appearance. NHL hockey is typically Powerpoint Rebellion Red River on a standard-size rink shaped like a round-cornered rectangle that is 200 feet (61 metres) long and 85 feet (26 metres) wide. International rinks are usually 184–200 feet by 85–98 feet, and U.S. college rinks are typically 200 feet by 100 feet. The goal cage is 4 feet (1.2 metres) high and 6 feet (1.8 metres) wide. Any shot that completely clears the goal line, a 2-inch- (5-cm-) wide stripe on the ice across the front of the cage, is a goal. In front of the goal is the crease, a semicircular area that corresponds to a circle with a 6-foot radius, demarcated by a red line. When the goalie is in the crease, no attacking player may enter unless the puck is there as well; if the Presentation: SJSU Engineering Lecture is not in the crease, however, anyone may enter. The blue lines that divide the ice into three zones are 60 feet (18 metres) out from the goal line and are painted across the width of the ice. The MEM Mechanics 435 Mechanical and Engineering between the blue lines is called the neutral zone. This zone is bisected by the red centre line. Virtually all equipment—for children, amateurs, or professionals—is the same. Made of vulcanized rubber, the puck is 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick and 3 inches (7.6 cm) in diameter and weighs 5.5 to 6 ounces (156 to 170 grams). Hockey sticks, once made from wood, are now formed from a variety of materials. Rules are enforced limiting the size of the stick and the curvature of its blade. Forwards and defensemen wear the same type of skates, but goaltenders have flatter blades because they need more balance and are stationary for longer periods. The shoes of goaltenders' skates are fitted with rubber protection for the toes. Players wear padding under their uniforms to protect legs, shoulders, and arms. Since 1979–80 all players entering the NHL must wear helmets; helmets and face masks are mandatory in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and IIHF play. The goaltender wears a specially designed mask (often molded to the contours of his face). Over his uniform a goalie wears extra equipment. Pads up to 11 inches (25.4 cm) wide protect him from the tips of his skates to above his knees. They not only afford protection but also aid in blocking shots. On his free hand the goalie wears a glove similar to a first baseman's baseball mitt, with a wide webbing that enables him to catch the puck. The stick hand is encased in a glove with a wide backing that protects his arm. The goalie's stick has a wider shaft and blade than those of the other players. Fully dressed, goaltenders carry up to 40 pounds (18 kg) of equipment. The modern game on every level—amateur, collegiate, international, and professional—has been influenced largely by the NHL. Checking—body contact to take an opponent out of play—is permitted anywhere on the ice. In most leagues, including the NHL, players may not make or take a pass that has traveled across the two blue lines; if this occurs, the play is ruled offside. A face-off, in which an official drops the puck between opposing players, follows the infraction. Face-offs are held at the point of the infraction. Players who precede the puck into the attacking zone also are ruled offside, and a face-off is held at a face-off spot near the attacking blue line. A face-off also begins each period and is used as well after a goal and after any stoppage of play. The goalie rarely leaves his goal area. The Sample School 1112 PDP Middle Instructional alignments of the Sample School 1112 PDP Middle Instructional five players are three forwards—the centre, a left wing, and a right relations international two defensemen—a left defenseman and a right defenseman. A player may handle the puck as often or as long as he likes, so long as he does not close his glove on the puck or touch the puck with a stick that is higher than shoulder level. A player may not pass the puck with his open hand. The goalie, however, is generally not subject to these restrictions. The game is divided into three periods of 20 minutes playing time each, with a 15-minute intermission between periods. Hockey games may end in a tie unless the rules stipulate an overtime period to serve as a tiebreaker. In the case of a tie in college hockey, one 10-minute sudden-death overtime period is played in regular season play. NHL and Rev. "Wise Kevs Otherwise" Thoughts: play a five-minute sudden-death overtime period, followed by a shoot-out if the game remains tied. During the play-offs, college hockey has 10-minute overtime periods until there is a winner, while the NHL has the same system with 20-minute periods. There is generally no overtime period in international hockey; however, Olympic competition since 1994 has had a 10-minute sudden-death period, followed by a shootout if needed. In organized ice hockey a the Palace truss prefabricated Crystal with Building is - School Rainforest Loddington two points in the standings. A tie is worth one point, and the NHL, which has no ties, awards a point to a team that loses in overtime. A goal counts as a point for the team, but individual points may be awarded to as many as three players for one goal. One point goes to the player who scored the goal, and a point is awarded for an assist to each of the last two of the scorer's teammates who touched the puck, providing that the opposition did not handle the puck in the interim. Ice hockey is the only major sport in which substitutions are permitted while the game is in play. The game is so fast and so demanding that forwards generally skate only 90 seconds at a time. Defensemen usually stay on the ice for a slightly longer - University The of review Warwick literature of time. Because of the speed and contact, there are many infractions, not all of them having to do with "hitting" penalties. Play is stopped for an offside and for the infraction called icing, which occurs when a team shoots the puck out of its zone past the other team's goal line. Icing is not called against a team when it is shorthanded; if the teams are evenhanded or if the offending team has more players than the opposing team, the puck is returned to the defensive zone of the team that iced it for the face-off. No player, however, may delay the game by intentionally shooting the puck out of the rink or by shifting the goalposts. Minor penalties are most commonly assessed for excessive use of the body or equipment to impede the opposition. For a minor infraction the offending player must remain in the penalty box at the side of the rink for two minutes while his team plays shorthanded. This man-advantage situation is called a power play. If the opponents score at any time during the penalty period, the penalized player may return to the ice. Penalties incurred by the goalie are served by a teammate. A major penalty for violent play results in the loss of a membership application the Please "" in to here click for five minutes or for the remainder of the game. If major penalties are incurred simultaneously by both teams, substitutions are made and there is no shorthanded play. A game misconduct penalty for abusing an official results in the loss of a player for 10 minutes; however, Practice Reading - Value Community Schools Place substitution is allowed, and the team does not play shorthanded. There are three common types of shots in hockey: the slap shot, the wrist shot, and the backhander. The slap shot has been timed at more than 100 miles an hour (160 km an hour). The slap shot differs from the wrist shot in that the player brings his stick Stoichiometry Smore until it is nearly perpendicular with the ice and then brings the stick down in an arc, swatting Powerpoint Rebellion Red River puck as he follows through. It is not as accurate as the wrist shot, in which the player puts his stick on the ice near the puck Winter ECE 2015 Seminar: 507 without a windup snaps his wrist to fire off a shot. The backhander is taken when the puck goes to the other side of the stick from which the player normally shoots. If he is a right-handed shooter, for example, he takes the backhander from his left side. It is taken when there is not enough time to shift the puck to his normal shooting position. The backhander generally is not as hard or as accurate as the wrist shot, but it has the advantage of being taken quickly. Speed is an essential requirement of the game. In the sport's early days a team could get away with having a few slow defensemen. WordPress.com slides - contests at all levels became so quick that offensive and defensive roles often are reversed, and defensemen may find themselves at the forefront of the action. Slower players must have other attributes to make a team; they must, for example, be able to check well, to prevent the other players from getting past them. But, since everyone on the team handles the puck at some point during a game, a premium is placed on puck-carrying ability. The man with the puck is in control, and the play can go only so fast as he directs it. Centre Wayne Gretzky, while playing for the Edmonton Oilers, was the dominant scorer in the NHL for most of the 1980s due to his outstanding puck handling and his accurate shooting and passing. If a forward has the puck, the defensemen trail the play. If a defenseman is leading an offensive thrust, called a "rush," one of the forwards backs him up. The opposition, meanwhile, attempts to gain control of the puck or to dislodge it. The most common way is for the defending player to poke his stick at the puck. A defender may also block, check, or hit the player with his body, as Spec (Word) Guide as his action falls within the rules defining allowable contact. Ideally, the defending team's defensemen lay back, straddling their blue line, away from the boards. They then can move to the centre to halt a breakthrough or can drive a man into the boards if he attempts to go along the sides. If the attacking players find that they have difficulty in stickhandling past the opposition, they may try a long shot "on goal." They may also shoot the puck into the other team's zone and chase it, two attacking players going after the puck—one to handle the opponent, who is sure to go after it, and the other to try to wrest the puck away. The third forward, meanwhile, takes up a position about 20 feet in front of the goal, in the centre of the ice, in a spot known as the " slot." In the slot he is 473/573 Groundwater on 2011 2 CE homework Fall Comments position to shoot if he gets the puck. The defensemen on the attacking team take up positions on the blue line to prevent the defending team from getting a breakaway. Often the puck is passed to the defensemen, who shoot from the blue line, 60 feet out, from their position known as the Laboratory Histology/Electron Microscopy point." Long shots rarely go in, so defensemen try to keep long shots low, which gives the attackers a chance at a rebound. Many fans do not see goals scored in hockey because so many go in on rebounds or deflections. While a shot is taken, no attacking player may be in the circuit combinations E-T-A switch breaker and crease, a rectangle eight feet across and four feet out from the goal line; but there is much physical contact in front of the net, and the puck may ricochet off a skate, a stick, or any part of the body. Any kind of shot that puts in a goal is allowable, unless the shooter has raised his stick above his elbow; but the puck may not be deliberately kicked in, and it cannot be thrown in with the hand. One of the most unusual spectacles in hockey occurs when a team that is trailing by one goal takes its goaltender out of the net in the final seconds of the game. The goalie is replaced by a forward in the hope that the extra man on offense will give the team a chance for a tie, but this strategy sometimes results in the team without the extra man easily scoring what is called an "empty-net goal." Another rare and exciting play is the penalty shot, which is called when a stick is thrown to deflect a shot or when a player with an open path to the goal is pulled down from behind. The team against which the infraction was committed selects a player to skate unopposed to the opponent's goal and take one shot to beat the goalie; this generally results in a score for the blanc Sauvignon science and beyond: Thiols of shooting team. All NHL games and most international games are under the control of two referees, two linesmen, and various off-ice officials (most collegiate games use only one referee). Referees are responsible for calling penalties and are the final arbiters of whether a goal has been scored, though the NHL allows officials off ice to review videotape and determine the legality of a goal. Linesmen call offsides and icing infractions; they may also stop play in order to inform a referee that a team has too many players on the ice. In some collegiate games in the U.S. two referees and no linesmen or two referees and one linesman are used, one of the referees being the final arbiter of disagreements. The IIHF sanctions the two-referee system for games under the jurisdiction of national federations. The goal judges are stationed behind each cage in a raised booth behind the boards, and they flip a switch that suis Haematopinus the clock and triggers a red light when they see the puck cross the goal line. The other officials are the penalty timekeeper, the game timekeeper, and the official scorer, who credits players for goals and assists and also keeps track of the goalie's saves, or stops. The table provides a chronological list of Stanley Cup winners.

"Art In The Streets" at MOCA
Photos by G. Various Artists.
Prior to the opening of the "Art In The Streets" at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, there was a lot of controversy surrounding the exhibit. MOCA's Jeffrey Deitch ordered the removal of a mural he sanctioned, the final list of included artists was missing many legends in street art and many artists were getting busted by police. I had mixed feelings going into the exhibit but from the second I set foot until the moment I left, all I can say is that if you are a fan of street art or graffiti, you cannot even think about missing this exhibit.
First off, the "Art In The Streets" exhibit is enormous! There are approximately 65 sections featuring different periods and artists in this urban movement and each portion is more amazing than the one before it. Alleyways and the influential New York art space Fun Gallery have been recreated, large scale murals are featured everywhere, and there are photos, paintings, sculptures and films throughout the exhibit. This is in fact one of the rare instances where the catalog of the show is worth getting. Ironic, since they allow photography (without the use of flash) inside the museum. Typically, museums will not allow photos so that you will buy the book, but I will certainly mention this exhibit the next time I enter a museum and they try and stop me from taking pictures.
Some of the artists that are prominently featured are Rammellzee, Kenny Scharf, Keith Haring, Banksy, Jamie Reid, Crash, Futura, Lady Pink, Fab 5 Freddy, Martha Cooper, Henry Chalfant, Lee Quinones, Roa, Eine, Craig Stecyk III, Gusmano Cesaretti, Retna, Chaz Bojorquez, Invader, Shepard Fairey, Swoon, Ed Templeton, Kaws, Larry Clark, Craig Costello, Terry Richardson, Mark Gonzales, Cheryl Dunn, Neckface, Freedom, Andre, Os Gemeos, Mister Cartoon, Saber, Revok, JR and so many more! You will definitely need several hours to attempt to take it all in.
"Art In The Streets" is on display until August 8, 2011 at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA in Downtown Los Angeles and you should not miss it under any circumstance!

December 2012 Plant Profile: Abutilon 'Tiger Eye'
This holiday season, we're taking you indoors into our Douglas Conservatory and showcasing a plant to warm up our botanical curiosities. This unique and elegant flowering maple (though not technically a maple (that's the genus Acer)) is best known as an annual shrub for containers and summer bedding, but I haven't the heart to just chuck it into the compost. So we brought it in for the winter and given a little care, it has decided to flower for us.
Flowering maples come in an assortment of colors and have the distinct maple-like foliage that gives it its common name. They benefit from full sun/part shade and regular watering and fertilizing during the growing season. They seem to bloom on and off and gentle pruning keeps plants bushy and loaded with flowers. 'Tiger Eyes' isn't as prolific a bloomer and stands taller and lankier than most other Flowering maples, but its flowers are too exquisite and makes up for it.
Common Name: Flowering Maple
Location: Douglas Conservatory
Origin: Unknown
Exposure: Full Sun/Part Shade
Height and spread: 6-8ft. tall x 3ft. wide
Bloom Time: Sporadically throughout the year. Heaviest in summer

So...I keep forgetting to ask the vet...can you cause changes to the dog's system by not giving water often enough?
The dog that I know that is like this with water also has small kidneys...I've always wondered if the lack of water from 8 weeks to 2 years made them smaller somehow? I don't know anything about anatomy...so I don't know if that's possible or not.

Gangs involved in the illegal trade of endangered animals should be targeted in the same way as criminals who sell drugs, weapons and people to seize their "ill-gotten gains", the Prince of Wales has said.
The Prince's comments came as he gave a major speech at a conference of world leaders gathered to tackle the threat to endangered animals like tigers, elephants and rhinos.
With his sons the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry by his side, the Prince told the summit that the scale of the poaching crisis had reached ''unimaginable heights'' in certain countries, and there was ''not a moment to lose'' to safeguard threatened species.
The Prince, a long-term campaigner on wildlife conservation, praised the leaders and foreign government ministers for meeting at Lancaster House in London to address the issue.
He said: ''Today, if I may say so, you are breaking new ground by coming together and committing - at high levels never before seen at a conference on this topic - to take urgent action to put a stop to this trade, which has become a grave threat not only to the wildlife and the people who protect them, but also to the security of nations.''
He added: ''Next month, I hope it will be possible to convene a meeting to encourage governments, banks, accounting firms, security agencies and others to make greater use of financial tools to tackle organised crime engaged in the illegal wildlife trade.
''As many experts are telling us, if we 'follow the money' and take back organised crime's ill-gotten gains - now done of course to combat trafficking in drugs, weapons and people - we can send a strong message to criminals that there are serious consequences when they kill endangered wildlife for profit.''
The Prince told the delegates he played a part in helping to bring them together after a group of African leaders, including president Ali Bongo Ondimba of Gabon, who is attending the conference, contacted him for help.
He said: "The situation they described was indeed dire. The scale of the poaching crisis their countries were facing had reached unimaginable heights.
"Organised gangs, terrorist groups and militia were slaughtering ever greater numbers of elephants for their ivory and rhinoceros for their horns. Most threatened of all, they said, is the elephant - an integral part of the ecological and social fabric of the African continent and a keystone species."
The Prince said Asia's wildlife was also being decimated but he gave an example of how successful anti-poaching campaigns could have results.
He said: "Late in the last decade, an aggressive public campaign led by WildAid and Chinese athlete Yao Ming - combined with government bans on the use of shark fin soup at government functions - caused a dramatic drop in public demand for the product."
The Prince concluded by saying: "There is not a moment to lose if we are to save species whose loss will not only diminish us all, but also expose their abandoned habitat to ever greater risk of destruction, with dire consequences for humanity."
The Duke and the Prince of Wales have played a major role in a series of wildlife conservation initiatives this week.
The Duke addressed a symposium of leading conservationists gathered by his United for Wildlife umbrella organisation yesterday, and the royal father and son have starred in a video calling on the world to turn its back on illegally traded animal parts like ivory and rhino horn.
Prime Minister David Cameron was due to speak at the conference but his attendance was cut short so he could focus on the flooding in southern England.
Mr Cameron dropped in at the summit but did not pose with the delegates and the royals for a "family photo", and met leaders behind the scenes.
Before the day-long conference began the three Princes were shown a display of seized animal parts, from a tiger head and skin and rhino horn to bear bile and the skin of a Nile crocodile.
Grant Miller, a senior officer with the Border Force, told the royal party about a recent seizure of ivory hidden in ball bearing parts and 12 live San Salvador rock iguanas from the Bahamas found in the luggage of two passengers stopped at Heathrow Airport.
He said later: "These are critically endangered. If you had a breeding pair they would be priceless - better than finding a tiger in a suitcase."
It is hoped that the nations will sign a declaration that will commit them to a range of goals to combat poaching and illegal trade in animal parts.
In a short address Foreign Secretary William Hague outlined the steps the conference would agree to take to tackle the "unprecedented crisis".
He said there was "some evidence to show how insurgent or terrorist groups can benefit from the trade" in endangered species, but the conference would result in a "powerful declaration that will demonstrate to the world that we will not tolerate this abhorrent trade".
The governments present would commit themselves to "renounce the use of any products from species threatened with extinction". They would also support the ban on the trade in elephant ivory until the survival of animals in the wild is no longer threatened by poaching.
Mr Hague said the countries represented would "commit ourselves to treat poaching and trafficking as a serious, organised crime in the same category as drugs, arms or people trafficking".
He said: "Poachers think they can act with impunity. We will show them they are wrong.
"There should be no weak link, we will all seek out those who commit these atrocious acts and use the full force of our national and international laws to break these criminal empires."
The Duke of Cambridge, David Beckham and basketball star Yao Ming have released a video message urging people around the world not to support the trade in rhino horn.
The trio are filmed walking on the pitch at London's Wembley Stadium surrounded by computer-generated rhinos.

Matt Ryan Throws 3 TD passes as Atlanta Falcons Rout Jacksonville Jaguars, 41-14
Atlanta 41 – Jacksonville 14
Matt Ryan threw for 224 yards and three touchdowns, as the Atlanta Falcons routed the Jacksonville Jaguars 41-14 on Thursday night. Ryan threw two touchdowns to receiver Roddy White and the other to Julio Jones. Atlanta (9-5) raced to a 41-0 lead before the Jaguars scored on a blocked punt returned for a touchdown in the second half. White finished with 10 receptions for 135 yards. Jones had five catches for 85 yards.
Thanks to a fierce Falcons' defensive effort, Jacksonville (4-10) trailed 27-0 at the half. Jaguars' quarterback Blaine Gabbert had amassed a net passing total of just minus-1 yard at the intermission. Gabbert finished with 141 passing yards, an interception and a meaningless fourth-quarter touchdown toss. He was sacked five times and fumbled twice. Jaguars' running back Maurice Jones-Drew managed to run for 112 yards on 17 carries for Jacksonville.
Running back Michael Turner ran for 61 yards and a touchdown for the Falcons, while defensive lineman John Abraham recorded three and-a-half of the five sacks of Gabbert.

In the race for Vermont's lone congressman, incumbent Democrat Rep. Peter Welch is our overwhelming choice, and he should be Vermont's clear favorite as well.
Montpelier, VT— This morning at Fairmont Farms in East Montpelier, Senator Patrick Leahy and Representative Peter Welch encouraged Vermont's dairy farmers to enroll in the new Margin Protection Program (MPP) and announced a series of workshops for interested participants.
MPP is a voluntary insurance program included in the new Farm Bill that protects dairy farmers from market fluctuations in milk prices. The program replaces the expired Milk Income Loss Contract Program (MILC).
Turnout in last week's primary election was a near-record low, with only about 8 percent of Vermont's registered voters casting ballots. The few places with reasonably high turnout were districts such as Middlebury, with contested primaries for open legislative seats.
Statewide, the turnout of Democratic voters was particularly low. Normally, more than 70 percent of primary voters choose the Democratic ballot. This year, fewer than 60 percent of the votes were cast in the Democratic primary.
BURLINGTON — With the stunning vista of Lake Champlain at his back, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced last Thursday that the federal government will spend up to $45 million to protect the lake and its watershed.
Dear Mr. Lynn,
As is sadly all too typical with your editorials, everything is presented with a liberal spin. The latest example is your editorial on the gas tax, where as usual Democrats are presented as the enlightened saviors of society in their never-ending battle to save us from the Republicans.
Recent headlines tell the story of Congressional Republicans fighting with Democrats over highway funding. Republicans, who control the House, are holding funds to the states hostage in the hopes of forcing reductions in spending — or, at least, transferring more of the cost onto states. (How that helps taxpayers we're not sure, but Republicans could at least claim they reduced federal spending.)
MONTPELIER — Rep. Peter Welch hosted the 33rd annual Congressional Art Competition for high school students at The Gallery at Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpelier on May 15.
Greta Suzette Exeter from Vergennes, a student at Vergennes Union High School, received Congressman Welch's choice award for her piece "Michelle Dockery."
MIDDLEBURY — The U.S. Secretary of Energy praised Vermont's efforts in renewable energy development and defended the expansion of natural gas use at a panel at Middlebury College Friday morning.
Secretary Ernest Moniz was flanked by the state's Congressional delegation and Gov. Peter Shumlin, as well as state business and academic leaders.

"Thailand, Laos and Myanmar — all three countries without a flight or train ride?" I again asked Watcharee Srithai at the reception desk.
It certainly appealed to me, doing something unusual and, I hoped, not exhausting here in the Golden Triangle, where Thailand, Myanmar (formerly Burma) and Laos converge.
"Yes, no planes, no trains. And it's easy," she said, reassuring me for a second time and explaining the details of how, where and when.
I set off on a five-minute taxi ride to Sop Ruak, a Thai village on the Mekong River. The driver dropped me at a kiosk, where I hired a boat to take me across the river to Don Sao Island in Laos, which has a village that trades with tourists. The round-trip ride would cost $3 an hour, the ticket seller said, and the boatman would wait while I shopped.
My boatman pointed out Myanmar on the left and Laos across the Mekong as he led the way down concrete steps to the wide, brown river coursing below the steep, slanting bank. We climbed into a long-tail boat, common in Southeast Asia, and with a swish and a spray, skimmed southeast.
We passed a couple of long-tailed boats, one with a woman wearing a conical palm-frond hat. Tall kapok trees lined the Laotian bank, which had looked largely uninhabited.
The previous week, I had completed a monthlong tour of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos with an adventure travel company and had enjoyed several trips on different stretches of the historical and mythical Mekong, which originates in Tibet, runs south through China, borders Myanmar, Thailand and Laos and then flows through Cambodia and Vietnam until it joins the South China Sea.
The Lao People's Democratic Republic, centuries ago the "Kingdom of One Million Elephants," is today one of Asia's most unchanged and least-visited countries. Despite U.S. military offensives in the region during the 1960s and 1970s, Laotians warmly welcome Americans. Nowadays, the country's market economy is picking up, but it's not yet on the fast track of Asia's capitalism.
Within 10 minutes, we reached the shore. I climbed the steps, stitched in places by wood and bamboo supports, up the steep clay bank. Three bored-looking uniformed Laotian men lounged in a bamboo kiosk. After a cursory glance at my passport, they accepted the permit fee of 20 Thai bahts (50 cents) and stamped a receipt.
Twenty yards away, two large souvenir stalls, built of wood and bamboo with straw roofs, overflowed with items for sale. Although about a dozen stalls lined dirt roads, I headed for the nearest vendor, eager to see what was offered.
Colorful scarves, shirts, trousers and sarongs (the customary waist-to-ankle skirts worn by Laotian women) hung from walls and ceilings and lay neatly folded on tables. The Laotian women, master weavers of complex, intricate geometric patterns handmade on looms, traditionally produce silk scarves and shawls. In the previous weeks, I'd bought more than my fair share of these fabrics, and they were again irresistible. I bought two scarves, one in shades of green and the other in blues highlighted with gold thread, for $5 each.
Throughout Laos, I found no prices affixed to items in the street stalls and markets, and here was no exception. Buyers are expected to bargain, first requesting the price, although vendors usually ask for double what they will eventually accept. Although every Asian country has its own currency — kyat in Myanmar, kips in Laos and bahts in Thailand — street stalls, markets and shops gladly accepted U.S. dollars. Shops also took credit cards, and their scarves and shawls were tagged at $20 to $40 and higher.
On a wall of the Don Sao stall, wide-legged, shiny black silk fisherman-style pants shimmered at me. Unable to resist, I bargained them down to $8 from $10. Next, my eye caught another similar pair of pants, dark blue cotton patterned with gold elephants. Wild and certainly not high style, but I liked them. Five bucks.
Outside on the street, I scoured tables laden with rows of attractive handicrafts: small ceramic bowls with flower patterns, boxes with mother-of-pearl inlay and compasses hidden in tiny round containers made of bone and incised with scenes. I chose one with a tiny fisherman reeling in a gigantic fish. More tables held all sorts of souvenirs, including Buddha and elephant statues of various shapes and sizes in wood and metal.
Then I came upon rows of bottled snakes. Whiskey-pickled snakes glared malevolently through the yellowish fluid, $3 apiece. Some looked like cobras. Some looked astonished. Some looked hypnotic. I asked the saleswoman why people drink this stuff. "For headache, for fever, for make good love," she said.
"Not necessary for me today, thank you," I said, and also passed on giant-sized bottles of "Wine Lao" and whiskey. After 40 minutes, satisfied with my purchases, I returned to Thailand and paid for the hour's trip.
Back at the Anantara, I reserved a taxi to Mae Sai, the Thai-Myanmar border town next on my shopping itinerary. On my way to lunch, I was stopped by John Roberts, the blond, lanky Englishman who runs the resort's Elephant Camp, which had drawn me to this corner of Southeast Asia. At the camp, hotel guests can tend elephants and learn to ride elephants.
The Anantara Resort & Spa Golden Triangle is in Chiang Saen, on a ridge a mere half-kilometer (about a third of a mile) from where the three countries meet. From the hotel, I could gaze over the tall native elephant grass to the jungles of Myanmar and Laos beyond.
John said he planned to inspect the market in the town of Thakilek in Myanmar, bordering Mae Sai, Thailand, and invited me to meet him later that afternoon at the border crossing.
After a lunch of grilled salmon spiced with lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, garlic, ginger, chiles and cilantro in Anantara's dining room, I took the half-hour, 17-mile taxi ride to Mae Sai.
The bustling border town once was a conduit for smuggled goods from Laos and Myanmar, but it now offers legitimate shopping opportunities. The taxi dropped me at the immigration office (next to the hospital) so I could arrange a free visa to leave Thailand, then to the border building, where I met John. We relinquished our passports and paid 250 bahts (about $6) each for a permit to enter Myanmar. We walked the 90 yards across the bridge spanning the Mae Sai River into Myanmar.
In my mind and heart, Myanmar will always be Burma, an enchanting country lost in the shadows of isolation and still under American sanctions because of the ruling junta's repressive policies. I've loved Burma since my first trip in the early 1980s, and I was happy to be back, if only briefly.
On the other side of the bridge, wide concrete steps led down into Thakilek's streets: a confusion of shops, pedestrians and bikes weaving by stucco buildings. John and I meandered in and out of shops that sold bootlegged music cassettes and movie videos and DVDs.
We peeked into stores selling blankets, fabric, clothing, kitchen utensils and bamboo items. I stopped to admire Burmese lacquerware bowls, plates and boxes; the beauty of this folk art has an ageless appeal to me.
Other shops contained all sorts of food, in neat piles. One had an amazing assortment of dried fish that gave off a pungent odor, which mingled with the appetizing aroma of fresh garlic coming from the rear of another store. I saw large plastic bags containing a spongy white material that looked like dried tripe, but John said it was the center of bamboo, an easily obtained carbohydrate used in soup.
On the front counter of a jewelry-souvenir shop, amber and jade pendants hung on stands. "Amphan, amphan," the vendor said, pointing to the amber, a beautiful stone believed to invite health, wealth and prosperity.
"Yes, amber with many flaws," I said, peering closely at the piece. It had beautifully shaped black, fossilized leaves embedded in it. This piece, on a silver hoop, intrigued me, and it was far cheaper than the clear stones priced at $10 and $20.
"Lucky money! Lucky money!" the woman sang, happily waving the $5 we had agreed on.
At a similar store, I bought a tiny jade Buddha for $3, a silver dolphin charm for the same price, and three small metal Buddhas for a couple of dollars more.
John and I headed for the shop he wanted to check out. It displayed hunting and fishing items, mostly binoculars, knives and animal trophies.
"All cheap Chinese gear," John whispered so the shop's owner would not hear. "That's a clouded leopard skin and there's a wild boar's skull, a macaque monkey, and bones and antlers of many deer. Also, one elephant tooth and a python skin. No tiger bones or skins, no rhino horns. This stuff has been here for months. Thankfully, nothing is in demand."
Picking up a skull, he turned it over in his palm. "There's nothing new here — just a couple of deer skulls and some fake tiger penises."
"Are they phony trophies?" I asked.
John just smiled and did not answer.
After visiting a similar store on another street, we speedily retraced our steps to Mae Sai. Afterward, I noticed, "walk" was noted as the mode of transport on my passport's Thai stamp.
Thailand has always given me a feeling of bounty and security. I think it quite remarkable that for 800 years this land — rich in cultural heritage, resources and beauty — has never been conquered or colonized.
Thailand is an exciting place to shop because of the good quality and diverse selection. We strolled four blocks, passing shops stockpiled with Asian souvenirs. The scent of lemongrass and ginger came from somewhere and smelled so good that it made John hungry. He wandered off to eat sausages while I entered Mandalay, an elegant, spacious boutique opposite a police station.
The saleswomen met me with smiles, murmuring the greeting, "Sawasdee kha." Mandalay's jewelry, clothing, fabrics, handbags and souvenirs were stylish and top quality. Its gem section intimidated me with its dazzling rubies, sapphires, emeralds and gold, so I browsed through the costume jewelry and chose a necklace, a jade ball suspended on a silver thread, for $8. Another jade necklace held a silver fish, from which swung strands holding silver shells, turtles and a fish. So tempting. I got it for $100.
The boutique's fashionable embroidered-silk evening jackets were priced from $90 to $300. Instead, my gaze latched on racks of sarong fabric, in particular a swath of silk with greens merging into yellow ochre, with painted figures running after a hoop in a border along the hem.
Flushed with acquisitiveness, I forgot to ask how much it cost, and blithely charged all three purchases on my credit card.
In a state of euphoria, my three-country shopping spree was complete for the day.
From LAX, Thai Airways offers connecting service (change of planes) to Chiang Rai. Restricted round-trip fares begin at $810.
To call the number below from the U.S., dial 011 (the international dialing code), 66 (country code for Thailand) and the local number.
Anantara Resort & Spa Golden Triangle, 229 Moo 1, T. Wiang, Chiang Saen, Chiang Rai; 53-78-4084 https://www.anantara.com . The resort, 40 miles north of Chiang Rai, opened in October. I stayed at the resort because I was curious about its Elephant Camp, where guests can feed and bathe its four elephants and learn mahout skills. The resort has 160 acres, with a lake, a river and an indigenous forest for such activities as mountain biking, nature walks and bird-watching. I paid the introductory rate of $199 for two nights; the same package now is available for $256, additional nights are $99. Doubles range from $128 to $190.

"Entoptic Phenomena" is an ongoing photo series by Texas-based multi-media artist William Hundley. The project features people jumping under colorful pieces of fabric and creating mysterious floating sculptures. The final photographs are then edited to remove the subject and leave the viewer with nothing but the ephemeral cloud-like figure hanging in the air.
"My work started with the influence of Erwin Wurm and Maurizio Cattelan, these absurdists. I love the practical-joke nature of it; if I can make humor and beautiful aesthetics come together, that's the biggest powerhouse I can imagine."
The name of the project comes from the term entoptic phenomena, meaning "visual effects whose source is within the eye itself". In simpler words, it's those dots and wrinkles that sometimes appear in our sight due to bright light or pressure applied to closed eyes. Entoptic images have a physical basis and are not considered to be illusions. However, they share one common feature: the observer can't share a specific view of such phenomena with the others.
By merging real and unreal – the scientific explanation of entoptic phenomena and his own visual representation of it – Hundley introduces disguised absurdity to his project and proves our knowledge of the world is only a matter of perspective.

President Barack Obama's budget proposal for fiscal year 2014 has infuriated both liberals and conservatives.
He pulled off this feat by cutting benefits AND raising taxes.
The budget serves as the first step in what will be a long negotiation with House Republicans over the course of the summer. It contains a number of concessions as well as several policies that will change the face of American government.

Living off the government may not be the best lifestyle.
You can say there are economic classes in America: a few rich people, the middle class, and those living below the poverty line. In this poor economy, many are leaving middle class and dropping into the poor class. In my view, that's not a good place to be, except that some people choose to live there.
Hopefully this won't offend anyone, but I'd like to discuss the underclass of American society: the folks living below the poverty line. Health and Human Services defines the poverty line in the 48 contiguous states as $11,170 for a single person; $15,130, $19,090, and $23,050 for families of 2, 3, and 4 respectively. The numbers are a bit higher in Alaska and Hawaii, reflecting higher costs of living in those states.
So, a family of 4 with income of less than $23,051 each year would be considered poor, unless they owned substantial assets. Assets are considered in most benefit calculations (example, to food stamps eligibility – not counting your home, you can't own more than 2 or 3 thousand dollars.) Considering income only, in the United States, it would indeed be hard to provide food, rent, transportation, entertainment, and medical care with that amount of money or less.
In most other countries, however, such income amounts would put them in the upper middle class. Most "poor" American families have plenty to eat and own autos, TV sets, X-boxes, and phones. They have iPads and IPods. They have cable subscriptions. They drink beer and smoke cigarettes if they wish. They benefit from federal programs such as food stamps, school lunch, home energy assistance, and children's health insurance. They may qualify for unemployment and disability programs. At income tax time they may receive cash from the government even though they didn't earn enough to pay taxes. There are a host of programs, federal and state and public charity, which may help them. They get by just fine, but have few luxuries. You generally don't encounter them in cruise ships, for example. Few of them fly to Hawaii.
Many people don't choose to live in the underclass. They can't help being there, because their breadwinners are unable to work or can't find a job that takes them above the poverty line. Older folks may live on Social Security and/or other pension income – and they are too old to work. Those folks are OK in my book – heck, I'm one of them. But there are a growing number of people who choose not to work and earn a living, even though nothing but their attitude prevents them from doing so. They choose to live on the dole. Let's give them a name: "parasites."
The parasites are young enough and healthy enough to work, but they'd rather just live on what they can squeeze out of everyone else. There's no way to get a precise measure on how many there are, but they seem to be showing up in ever-greater numbers. Some of the drastically increasing number of people claiming permanent disability – way too many to be legitimate – must be parasites.
The parasite lifestyle sounds cushy – sit around, let everyone else pay taxes so the government can support you – but there are a couple of downside problems with it:
1. As much as they'd like to, Democrats can't pass enough legislation to pay parasites (or anyone else on government support) very well. Parasites could make more, and have a better life style, by working, if they would. The dole is rationed money, and will never be enough.
2. The socialist model of economics is unsustainable, as Greece, Italy, Spain, Ireland, and France are finding out. The collapse point comes when the national debt grows too large, or the number of taxpayers and the amount they pay is less than the numbers of people supported by government and the amount they receive. Our economy is reaching that point. What happens to the underclass (including the parasites) when government can no longer afford to fully fund Social Security, Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid, Aid to Dependent Children, food stamps, disability, and so on?
Do you choose to be a parasite? If you did, you're a ward of the federal and state government. You must fill out forms, wait in lines, hide your assets, and make do with whatever they'll give you – and it's never enough. Your kids will be poorly dressed. Your lifestyle will always be shabby. People who work won't respect you. More importantly, you'll never really respect yourself.

CS Students Do Well in Competition, Oct. 31, 2001
A team of New Mexico Tech students did very well at the 2001 New Mexico State University Invitational Programming Competition, held this past weekend on the NMSU campus in Las Cruces.
Teams from Tech took first, second, fourth, sixth, and seventh places. They accidentally let one NMSU team slip in at third place and one UNM team at fifth. There were about 15 teams at the competition.
- First place team: Ben Gordon and Jackson Peacock
- Second place team: Nick Pattengale and Thomee Wright
- Fourth place team: James Kearney, Paul Ming, Evan Nelson
According to Benjamin Gordon, chair of Tech's Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), this was an informal contest held every fall to help practice for the regional programming contest held in Boulder, Colo., on Nov. 17. Gordon explained, "Each team is given a stack of problems, and they write computer programs to solve as many as they can in a certain amount of time. The winner is whichever team solves the most problems in the given amount of time."
Tech's ACM will have its on contest on campus on Sat., Nov. 3. People may enter by emailing email@example.com. Pizza and beverages are supplied.
