Due to technical difficulties, there's no video- yet. So instead, here's an A-F- ranking of everyone who played in Canadian junior hockey's biggest showcase.
Luke Schenn- A+
You know how your gym teacher would sometimes join in floor hockey games if you were getting pasted? That's what it looked like at the 2008 Top Prospects Game when Luke Schenn was on the ice. Saying the 17 year-old had zero mistakes and zero panic doesn't come close to telling the story; he simply took command every time he had the puck. Schenn likely has blisters from his meteoric rise up the charts after a dominant defensive showing.
Cody Hodgson- A+
While Steve Stamkos didn't dazzle, it's only fitting that a player I called a poor man's version of the phenom stood out. 6'0, 185 lbs offensive dynamo Cody Hodgson dominated with his vision and passing ability. The soon-to-be-18-year-old ran the table with three helpers, making pro-level passes. He'll be a top-seven pick.
Zach Boychuk- A+
A stay-at-home stud, a flashy passer... so who brought the hands? Zach Boychuk, that's who. While he tried a lot that didn't work and was almost laid out on a couple opportunities, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. When they did work, Boychuk left the defenders seeing nothing but jock. The most entertaining player on the ice bar none, and he picked up a goal and two assists in the process.
Zach Bogosian- A
Last off the ice, sixth on the scoresheet, first in terms of offensive flash by a blueliner in the game. While he had a couple noticable defensive gaffes, Bogosian's offensive gifts were on full display. He played the puck with the confidence, skill and luster of a forward, and came away with the GWG. Once he irons out his defensive deficiencies, the 18 year-old will be a full five-tool blueliner.
Josh Bailey- A
Bailey is one of those names that CSB has ranked high, but no one ever really hears about. You can see what Central Scouting is talking about; while Bailey doesn't yet have game-breaking skills, the 6'1, 190 pivot makes decisions like a pro. Case-in-point: his first goal. On a routine offensive zone face-off, Bailey noticed that the D wasn't quite set in front of Q goalie Peter Delmas. Teammate Zach Boychuk won the draw, and Bailey, on the right side, wired a missle past Delmas. His second goal was also the result of a great read; sitting back, Bailey waited for Cody Hodgson to completely dismantle the D off the rush. With the D paying too much attention to the man, a trailing Bailey was in perfect position to jam in the rebound.
Colby Robak- B+
There may be more scouts from the Bugg line yet. I was excited to tell my brother all about smooth-skating Brandon Wheat Kings blueliner Colby Robak, but ten seconds into an Oil Kings game earlier in the year, the youngest Bugg exclaimed that Robak 'is like Jay Bouwmeester!'. On that night, Robak recorded an assist on a PP goal and generally looked composed. In the Top Prospects Game, Robak wasn't as noticable, but he made the pass of the game on a long-bomb from his own end that sent Jamie Arniel on a short-handed break. Small, but fast, smooth, and enormously intelligent as his team-leading +3 indicated.
Nicolas Deschamps- B+
He didn't register a point, but that was more luck than lack of effort. An injury fill-in, Deschamps brought it every shift, and made some stellar little plays that lead to goals in the pros. His speed and intelligence were top-notch.
Mikael Boedker- B+
Had just one assist, but the speedy Dane was a threat almost every shift. He even tried a couple cute moves to no avail. Helped his stock by burning some of the best blueliners in his class.
Luca Sbisa- B+
One of Team Red's few bright spots. The Swiss offensive defenseman was a handful on the point, snapping pucks on net and making nice plays. His defensive awareness wasn't very good, but he made up for it by showing a willingness to play physical. A fan favorite.
Tyler Cuma- B
A flashy, gifted defender, Cuma played so well that I was as shocked as anyone to see he was a -3. Made one or two bad plays, but he lead the rush with elite composure and skill. He'll be a good PP QB at the NHL level.
Steve Stamkos- B
The stats show he had a Gordie Howe hat-trick. What they don't show is that beyond the surprising tilt he got into Yann Sauve, the teenager everyone was watching didn't do too much. His goal and assist were the meekest possible. However, despite failing to deliver a consistently brilliant performance, Stamkos wasn't ever bad. He's still the consensus #1 pick.
Maxime Sauve- B
Sauve, 17, has lately become a favorite of most major scouting services, and it's easy to see why: a ***** to knock off the puck, Sauve's technical skill and skating ability are, well, technically perfect. While he played one on of the night's most consistent lines- Team White's Q Line of Nicolas Deschamps, Sauve and Joel Champagne- and didn't make any errors, he didn't dominate either. He needed to to back up his hype, and he'll instead be a top 35-45 pick instead of a top 20-30.
Jamie Arniel- B-
Early on in the game, it looked like crease-crashing expert Jamie Arniel may have finally met his match: a great player from a team perspective, the gritty two-way center was consistently behind the play in this exposition of talent. However, thanks in part to the play above, Arniel struck on special teams- his specialty. It's ironic that the defensive specialist could one day win a Lady Byng, considering the bad-ass his uncle Scott Arniel was. Not overly big nor overly skilled nor overly mean, Jamie is a clone of John Madden with a little Ryan Smyth thrown in.
Yann Sauve- B-
Good defensively 75% of the time, and poor 25% of the time. Sauve looked more composed with the puck than normal, but he didn't stand out, let alone dominate. His stock is dropping from can't-miss to maybe-make. Decision-making still appears to be a problem, and you need to be more than big to make an impact in the NHL.
Chris Doyle- B-
Most fans I talked to afterwards never remembered seeing him on the ice, but I for one was impressed. He had precious few shifts, but flew, banged and crashed when he got the chance. An NHL-level skater, he'll be an agitator at the very least. However, his shot and vision flash so much more.
Jared Staal- B-
Clearly outclassed in terms of skill, the youngest (and not best) Staal nevertheless demonstrated his future NHL career: garbageman to the stars. His lone goal was a classic chisel effort in front of the net, and he was in position for same play every time he was on the ice. He's clearly the best Staal in terms of offensive positioning, and if he had Eric's speed, he'd be a first rounder. Instead, look for someone to take a chance on his bloodlines and frame in the second.
Phil McCrae- B-
Someone else who had precious few shifts but made an impact when he got them, London Knights standout Phil McCrae was teasingly good like he's been all year- and that's the problem. McCrae made an NHL-quality play when he received a pass and curled it around a sprawling defender for a golden opportunity. His size, speed and hands are great, but his consistency is not. Nevertheless, he tied with Staal as a positional standout: he was in the right place all the time.
Mitch Wahl- B-
Invisible for most of the night, and then scored a pro-calibre goal on a shelf wrister from the dot. A work in progress, Wahl has good size, a good release, and a leader's heart.
Jyri Niemi- B-
Quietly played a pretty strong game. Calmed things down on the point, made simple, calculated plays. Would be higher if he'd either a) stood out a bit more or b) didn't make a couple mistakes handling the puck on the point that lead to opportunities. He's going to be a steal.
Joel Champagne- C+
A lot of people hated his play. I thought he did a nice job, hitting and winning battles for his linemates. He's not going to knock the doors off with his skill level, but the power winger played a simple, effective game.
Tyler Ennis- C+
A+ for effort and entertainment. D- for execution and an F for staying on his feet. The hometown boy was rubbed out of the play, but he kept coming back.
Philippe Cornet- C+
Made some nice moves with the puck, but seemed to lack anything approaching hockey sense. Got Team Red back in it with a solo burst on net the goaltender should have had.
Patrice Cormier- C+
Some ragged on him for being a puck hog, but his linemates weren't doing anything with the biscuit anyway. Flashed some good skill on solo deking efforts, but was soft and bad in his own end.
Geordie Wudrick- C+
Good effort, but it was like watching a Grade 3 student try Calculus. Wudrick is known for his intelligent play, but his lack of skill was shockingly apparent. Got stronger as the game went on and the pace became more even, and his shot was pretty good.
Kelsey Tessier- C-
One of the Q's most electrifying and skilled players only stood out because he was so small. Tessier was easily taken out of the play physically, and only got a point because of a flukey goal he earned the second assist on. If the 5'7 forward can't handle junior blueliners, how can he survive in the NHL?
Colten Teubert- D+
Wasn't a rock like he needed to be against such a strong lineup. He played a merely okay game.
Alex Pietrangelo- D+
Only noticed when he made a really play along the far boards. With all the time in the world just outside his blueline, the probable top-five pick chipped the puck off the boards just as a forechecker bore down on him. The puck ended up right on the player's stick, but to Pietrangelo's credit, he got back and helped break up the chance. Was somehow a +1.
Greg Nemisz- D+
Apparently Greg Nemisz was on the ice; the scoresheet shows a had an assist and was +2. But beyond a couple nice stands along the boards, this Jeff Carter clone was totally invisible.
Mikhail Stefanovich- D
He wasn't anything special, and on a night when getting special got you noticed, he failed. Answered a lot of critics with strong skating, however, especially on rushes up the middle.
James Wright- D-
How does a 6'2 winger disappear? Ask James Wright. The Vancouver Giants sophomore was a passenger on the ice every shift, only making his presence felt physically once or twice.
James Livingston- D-
A -2 as a forward. Showed some great hands, but also some great selfishness. Laid a couple nice hits to at least be a factor.
A.J. Jenks- D-
Nothing to see here.
Jordan Eberle- F+
Had a hit late in the third. That was it for the WHL's breakout player of the year.
Drew Doughty- F+
Drew Who? The probable top three pick doesn't have to worry about his draft status, but he stunk up the joint in Edmonton. Doughty played meek, dumb hockey.
Tyler Myers- F
The Alberta boy towered over his competition in size, but looked as dumb and meek as a 5'4 Bantam player. Totally lost. Confidence was clearly an issue, and it showed when he put together back-to-back really good shifts early in the 3rd.
Michael Del Zotto- F-
After a wicked skills comp that saw him go 4-for-4 in the shooting accuracy contest, the new favorite had everyone abuzz for the real thing. Therein lied the problem. Del Zotto's offensive arsenal is without comparison, but he simply is a bad defender. The team that drafts him would do well to convert him to forward. Finished the night a game-worst -2.

Montgomery's anti-immigrant law should have produced enough red-faced farmers with rotting crops in the fields, harassed executives from foreign automakers with plants in Alabama and cringe-worthy headlines to teach lawmakers a hard lesson about looking before leaping. Sadly, that's not the case as unintended consequences continue to smack the Alabama Legislature upside the head.
The Alabama Accountability Act of 2013 will surely be no exception.
One clue that we're heading back down this hubris-laden path arrived Tuesday. In response to an Alabama Education Association lawsuit seeking to prevent the bill from becoming law, Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, R-Anniston, said, "It's unfortunate that anyone would try to stop a bill that gives students in failing schools more options to receive a quality education."
That's a pretty broad brush for the senator to employ. You either support the bill or desire to keep students locked in failing schools? It's just the sort of bluff conversation we heard from lawmakers after the immigration bill was passed and before its ongoing series of embarrassments began.
Here are a few unintended consequences of the Alabama Accountability Act of 2013 to watch for.
• BRAIN DRAIN: First — and maybe most significantly— though sponsors of the bill argue that to avoid losing students, failing schools will improve, the opposite is likely to happen. Why? Because the most academically gifted and parentally supported students are the ones most likely to leave and those left behind will collectively give their schools even lower test scores and a lower graduation rate.
Because those schools will be left with the less-gifted and less-motivated, the task of breaking the cycle of low achievement will become even more difficult.
• 'FAILING'S' DEFINITION: No one wants students to leave a "failing" public school for a "failing" private school. What will happen if the state tells private schools that it plans to use the same criteria to rank them that is used to determine if public schools are "passing" or "failing?" That would make sense.
Although the act specifies that the private schools "must be accredited by a state-recognized accrediting agency," some private schools have been reluctant to release student test scores or, for that matter, use the same standardized tests that are used by public schools. What will the state require from private schools to determine if they are qualified to accept state money? Will private schools meet these criteria or will they, in good Alabama fashion, opt-out of the program rather than accept the oversight?
Monitoring will be a sticky issue.
• THE WORKLOAD: According to the GOP website, the Department of Revenue will oversee the organizations set up to provide scholarships, but what agency will keep the records and verify that the students leaving one school for another are qualified for such a move? Will this job be assigned to the Department of Education, which was not involved in drafting the bill and has strong reservations about it? Furthermore, do our already understaffed and over-extended agencies have the personnel to handle this? Will the state increase agency appropriations to cover the expense? If so, from where will the money come?
• CHURCH AND STATE: Then there is religion. Many of the state's private schools are sponsored by churches or other religious groups. The state shouldn't get into the business of subsidizing religious schools through tax credits. That will surely bring a court challenge and the legal fees that go with it.
• THE COSTS: In many instances, the students already in private schools are there because schools in the area are "failing." It appears likely that parents who have already taken their students out of failing schools — or refused to send them in the first place — will be given tax credits. One of the sponsors of the bill has indicated that this will be the case. If so, the number of parents seeking tax credits could grow dramatically and public education's already scarce tax resources will dwindle even more.
Expect even more unfortunate consequences to follow from the Alabama Accountability Act of 2013.

Now, I will say this is not necessarily a discussion limited to English speaking parties. I know Japanese Zen priests who by their own admission deny rebirth. On Japanese forums likewise I see a lot of denial. My opinion is that modern Japan is actually by default materialist.
So, basically, this kind of denial exists outside western variations of Buddhism as well.
Now, the one thing I wonder is what the effect of this will be. Materialism, which denies the possibility of rebirth of an individual, is evidently influencing Buddhists. You can have people saying, "I'm a Buddhist, but I don't believe in rebirth."
I think this is really just the default mentality of most modern day societies dictating the direction a person will take in their beliefs. Even if you're "religious", you're likely to possess a materialist reality-world picture owing to the fact that your society and education officially sees such a picture as the most real and appropriate to hold. Rebirth is a belief. Post-mortem oblivion is a fact.
But if you really think that at death you become nothing and thus there will be no experience of anything at all ever again, that also means you will not be subject to the consequences of the life you lived. In short, if there is just oblivion at death, then whether you cultivate saintliness or just indulge in material pleasures all day long is irrelevant because the end result is the same: nothingness.
I mean even in ancient India there were materialists who had the same idea. Take for example this quote from the Sarva-darsana-samgraha:
That the pleasure arising to man
from contact with sensible objects,
is to be relinquished because accompanied by pain—
such is the reasoning of fools.
The kernels of the paddy, rich with finest white grains,
What man, seeking his own true interest,
would fling them away
because of a covering of husk and dust?
While life remains, let a man live happily,
let him feed on butter though he runs in debt;
When once the body becomes ashes,
how can it ever return again?
So, as they say, just live it up as you only live once.
But from the Buddhist perspective you're actually accountable for your actions post-mortem. You will experience the results of your actions in future lives. Just as you plan for your retirement not wanting to live poorly in the future to come, so to one plans for future lives and makes proper plans and refrains from doing anything that would jeopardize future well being. You wouldn't take all your life savings and toss them away at the casino in an afternoon. Likewise from the Buddhist perspective you wouldn't jeopardize your ability to cultivate yourself in future lives. You need to retain the ability to cultivate yourself towards liberation. The only other alternative is samsara and that is unacceptable.
But if all there is is nothingness at death, whether you lead a moral life or immoral life is irrelevant. I'm not proposing all materialists are immoral, but merely that with such a view in mind there really is no actual real vested interest for oneself in morality. Immoral or moral, the result is the same and any potential consequences from either course of action is the same: oblivion.
Without rebirth the whole system of Buddhist ethics falls apart. This is one reason why I cannot accept "Buddhist thought" that would reject rebirth. There is no Buddhism without rebirth. The whole idea of liberation is predicated on the idea of cyclic existence from which one must find liberation from.
If actual morality is tossed out the window, then the Buddhist systems that will emerge will be inherently unstable and subject to rapid decay. Buddhism in many places could quickly fade away if the necessity of real morality is quietly set aside. I'm actually witnessing this here in Japan. Japanese Buddhism in general is rapidly in decay owing to the fact that morality and ethics are treated quite softly and often ignored.
Thus why I think we really need to stress rebirth and system of ethics predicated on rebirth if we are to see the Buddhadharma continue to exist in this world.

I'm cross-posting this thread here from the General Discussion forum, so I'll just quote what I wrote there:
So I created a "Let's Play Ghost Recon Online" series, it covers all the basic gameplay mechanics for the closed beta. Hopefully not a whole lot changes between now and open beta when it comes to class abilities and game mechanics. If there are significant changes I will remake the videos so they are as up-to-date as possible.
The videos are all listed in the Player Content forum here:

Brandi Stouder, who has been a physical therapist for the past 16 years, will work at the clinic. She said she's glad to be associated with the new facility.
"We offer anything from general strengthening after someone has been hospitalized to working with patients who have had orthopedic surgery such as total hip replacements, knee or shoulder replacements," she said. "We work with patients who have pain issues, including back pain or those who have had back surgery. We also work with those who have balance issues."
Stouder said these are only a few of the services the clinic offers.
"The things I've mentioned are just a general overview of what we do," she said. "We're capable of doing a lot of different things."
Usually, said Stouder, it takes anywhere from two to four weeks for improvement after having the physical therapy.
PHCC assistant administrator Freda Fagan said everyone is pleased with the clinic.
"It's an asset to the community," she said. "We've had a lot of people tell us they're really glad we have something to help people here and in the surrounding area."
Examples of diagnosis, which may indicate the need for outpatient physical therapy include stroke, amputation or cardiac disease.
Preferred Health Services of Centre is the management company that contracted with PHCC for the clinic.
Trudy Lowe, chief operating officer of Preferred Health Services, said the company works with PHCC on operating, management and long term strategy.
"Part of our strategy," she said, "is to enhance operations and community services. Our outpatient clinic will provide excellent physical therapy for the community. Our physical therapy services will work with patients to achieve the highest level of their functioning and independence."
Lowe said that physical therapy is a rehabilitative discipline specializing in evaluation, diagnosing and treating physical and functional impairments in patients of all ages. She pointed out that the overall goal of physical therapy is to improve mobility, strength and functional ability, so that patients can reach their highest functional levels and optimal quality of life.
"Our physical therapists have experience and advanced training with a variety of impairments caused by conditions including orthopedic conditions, neuromuscular/neurovascular disorder, stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cardiac disorders and complex medical problems," she said.
PHCC administrator Sandra Keener said she's excited because with the opening of the clinic, those who live in or near Piedmont will no longer have to go elsewhere for therapy.
"Now, they're able to stay right here at home and get their therapy," she said.

I can't remember specifically, but I'm sure I lied at the movies (or no one asked, but I would have lied) when my kids were 2 or 3 and qualified to go in for free if they were a year younger. I'd do it again . . . and I wouldn't feel bad about it, either (nor would I feel like I was setting a bad example for my kids . . . I'd just explain why we were doing it).

Changes in human culture match major climate shifts
A changing climate changes the environment. We know that. But it also may change culture. In a lesson that could have some relevance to human societies today, geographers at the University of Ottawa examined the overlap between climatic change and the changes in tool technology and other artifacts by Native American tribes during three ancient time periods. Humans have lived on the North American continent long enough to have experienced dramatic shifts in climate caused by ice sheet expansion and... [Read more]

He is stoking an artificial economic boom, in time for the next general election.
Longer term, one does wonder when Britain as a nation will finally be in credit. This kind of policy created the last recession, starting in the US.
He is stoking an artificial economic boom, in time for the next general election.
Longer term, one does wonder when Britain as a nation will finally be in credit. This kind of policy created the last recession, starting in the US.
A popular theme in Protestantism is 'The End Times' i.e. the Apocalyapse. As Catholics, it's not a fixation amongst us. Recent events have made me wonder, however. I would say we're at Defcon 3: "Increase in force readiness above that required for normal readiness".
For example:
The British Prime Minister, David Cameron, is going to go down in history as having sodomitic marriage 'legalised' during his incumbency. Just imagine: a vice, deplored throughout the ages, elevated to the status of 'marriage'. This is a logical impossibility, as two men can't marry in any practical or meaningful sense. It's just stupid. At a stroke, the institution is broken and sodomy normalised. The basis of civil society, the family, mortally wounded. Truly incredible.
This tells me that the ability to reason is gone in those that rule us.
Another recent example:
Britain's Chancellor George Osbourne has given HMRC the right to rob money from taxpayer's bank accounts directly. He has also made having undeclared income, lodged offshore, illegal. If they think you owe it, they can take it. These measures are the actions of cretins. Their conservatism is a lie.
This follows on from measures like removal of the right to silence, the Council (Poll) Tax, quick extraditons and entry into the EU. These measures have made Britain into a curiously weak and totalitarian regime.
The poor from other nations come here because it's better than the hellish places they live, the middle classes will move as far away as they can, to the shires or abroad, while the elite will leave according to whether their positions render them untouchable or not; a man with £500m and properties worldwide can live where and how he wants (as long as it's quiet and the kids can go to good schools).
The local working class will get it in the neck; they can't go anywhere. They earn just enough to be taxed and not enough to progress. God help us if the country goes bust and the state-dependents can't be bought off any more.
The stage is being set for revolution. Any barriers to it have been broken down. A generation of narcissistic hellions, their minds debauched by vicious media and drugs, their spirits broken by divorce and concubinage, with no allegiance to God or nation, will have no scruples about rioting. All it will take is a severe economic depression, so keep an eye on economic indicators like budget deficits, national debt, employment rates and so forth. Our current leaders can't hold it back: no one will heed them, as no one respects them.
The Catholic Church, having given up preaching the hard sayings of Jesus and dumbed down its rites, will be severely tested in the coming decades. A smart man might start reading approved private revelations, to see if the signs of the times are lining up with prophecy.
I just realised: Google is collecting data on browsing habits. It knows what you like; you tell it.
Chrome, Adsense, Adwords, Webmaster Tools mean it knows what sells. It probably stopped Checkout because it had enough purchasing data already and it didn't need the money.
My latest minor epiphany was that millions of businessmen are using Adwords to get traffic. They are telling Google what they're trying to sell, refining their keywords, seeing what works. Google is listening in. It's lunacy!
They're doing the slog and Google, by 'helping' them get clicks, lets them compete with each other, thereby putting up the price of those clicks, thereby increasing its profits. It shows you what keywords are popular; you, and everyone else.
It's getting a % of every sale, at one remove.
If ever Google decided to move in on a particular niche, it could easily dominate. And you can bet it's giving commercial data to American security services.
Sociologists try to find names for different genrations of people in the West; Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y etc.
A better name for the lot of them would be Generation Onan. These are the generations that fornicate without much less chance of anyone being generated, because of the use of contraception.
So, basically, we've had three generations of w*nkers, with fewer children in each. They call it 'love' or 'sexual expression' but basically they're just w*nking each other off.

Arizona agency seeks fine in firefighters' deaths
PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona's workplace safety agency is recommending that the state Forestry Division pay a nearly $560,000 fine in the deaths of 19 firefighters.
The citations proposed Wednesday by the Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health say forestry officials managing the Yarnell Hill Fire placed the protection of structures and pastureland above firefighter safety.
The proposals also say that downwind crews weren't removed when suppression became ineffective.
The safety agency is presenting the proposals to the state Industrial Commission at a meeting in Phoenix. The commission has the final say on whether the fines are imposed.
The Arizona State Forestry Division oversaw the blaze that trapped the Granite Mountain Hotshots on state land.
A separate report into the circumstances surrounding the June 30 deaths of the firefighters found communications lapses but concluded that proper procedure was followed.
Environmental science team assesses damage from Yosemite-area blaze
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Scientists are assessing the damage from a massive wildfire burning around Yosemite National Park, laying plans to protect habitat and waterways as the fall rainy season approaches.
Members of the federal Burned Area Emergency Response team have been hiking the rugged Sierra Nevada terrain this weekend even as thousands of firefighters continue to battle the four-week-old blaze. The 50 scientists are working to identify areas at the highest risk for erosion into waterways, including the reservoir that provides San Francisco with its famously pure water. Officials say they hope to have a report ready in two weeks so remediation can start before the first storms.
The wildfire started on Aug. 17 in the Stanislaus National Forest when a hunter's illegal fire swept out of control. It now ranks as the third-largest wildfire in modern California history, having burned 394 square miles of timber, meadows and sensitive wildlife habitat.
Fire north of LA forces nearly 3,000 from homes
LANCASTER, Calif. (AP) — Nearly 3,000 people from some 700 homes are under evacuation orders as a wildfire north of Los Angeles kept growing, feeding on old, dry brush, some of which hadn't burned in decades.
The blaze had burned about 35 square miles in the mountains and canyons of the Angeles National Forest, destroying at least six homes and damaging 15 more.
The fire, which was 20 percent contained, was fueled in part by chaparral that was "extremely old and dry" and hadn't burned since 1929, U.S. Forest Service Incident Commander Norm Walker said Sunday at a news conference.
It was spreading fastest into unoccupied land, but populated areas about 50 miles north of downtown LA remained in danger, with more than 2,800 people and 700 homes under evacuation orders that were expected to last until late Monday or Tuesday in the communities of Lake Hughes and Lake Elizabeth, sheriff's Lt. David Coleman said.
It appeared to be the fiercest of several burning in the West, including two in New Mexico, where thick smoke covered several communities and set a blanket of haze over Santa Fe. Crews fighting the two uncontained wildfires focused Sunday on building protection lines around them, hoping predicted storms could bring moisture to help reduce the intensity of the fires.
In Southern California, about 2,100 firefighters were taking on the wildfire, aided by water-dropping aircraft, including three helicopters expected to stay aloft through the night.
"We're putting everything that we have into this," Walker said.
The cause of the fire was under investigation. Three firefighters had minor injuries, but no one else was hurt.
Winds of about 25 mph and gusting as high as 40 mph had created "havoc" for firefighters for much of Sunday, LA County Deputy Chief David Richardson said.
Propelled by the strong winds, the fire jumped an aqueduct into the west of Lancaster, officials said.
Nightfall brought some weather relief, and firefighters hope they could take advantage of it.
"It is cooling off," Forest Service spokesman Nathan Judy said. "The winds have died down, at least compared to earlier."
In a report early Monday, fire officials said that the blaze was holding and no new evacuations or road closures were immediately foreseen.
At least six homes had burned to the ground, and 15 more were scorched by flames, LA County fire Chief Daryl L. Osby said.
George Ladd, 61, said among them was a cabin at Lake Hughes his family had owned since 1954, but sold just last week. He said he expected it may go up in flames sooner.
"We had always worried about that thing going off like a bomb," Ladd said.
He walked through the ashes of his former cabin and the other destroyed homes Sunday.
"All of them are nothing," he said by phone from his home in nearby Palmdale later Sunday night. "A few scraps, a few pieces of wood with nails sticking out, but mostly just broken up concrete."
Mark Wadsworth, 64, said he was confident his house in Lake Elizabeth survived. He spent Sunday parked in his truck atop a ridge, watching plumes of smoke rise from the canyons below.
"I've got nowhere to go, so I'm just waiting for them to open the roads again and let me back in," Wadsworth said.
In New Mexico, a fire burning in Santa Fe National Forest 25 miles from Santa Fe had grown to nearly 12 square miles by Sunday evening, causing thick smoke to cover parts of Gallinas Canyon and Las Vegas, N.M.
The fire near the communities of Pecos and Tres Lagunas had prompted the evacuations of about 140 homes, most of them summer residences.
Crews also cleared out campgrounds and closed trailheads in the area as they worked to prevent the fire from moving toward the capital city's watershed and more populated areas.
Another New Mexico blaze, the Thompson Ridge fire near Jemez Springs, grew to nearly 3 square miles.
Forty to 50 homes that were evacuated late last week remained so on Sunday.
Forestry service officials say neither blaze and destroyed any homes, but one house suffered minor damage.
For California evacuees, the Red Cross opened centers in Lancaster and Palmdale, where about 150 residents awaited word on when they could return home.
A huge plume of smoke could be seen from much of northern Los Angeles County, and air-quality officials warned against strenuous outdoor activity.
The blaze broke out Thursday just north of Powerhouse No. 1, a hydroelectric plant near the Los Angeles Aqueduct.
The wilderness area is a draw for boaters, campers and hikers. Crews and residents were being warned to keep an eye out for rattlesnakes and bears that could be displaced by flames.
Evacuations remained in effect for several campgrounds and two youth probation camps. Several roads and trails were closed.

Anniston Bible Church is presenting a series of lectures led by Bob St. John on The Life and Legacy of Martin Luther. The sessions meet at 6:30 pm on Mondays in October leading up to the anniversary of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. It was October 31, 1517 when the Augustinian monk nailed his 95 theses to the door of the castle church in Wittenberg, Germany in an attempt to reform practices in the Catholic Church. It was the second time that the New Testament Church had experienced a major upheaval. The church had a united existence for about 1000 years when the Roman Church split off. The changes made by Rome included placing authority in a Pope instead of a council, requiring celibacy for its clergy and using unleavened bread for the Eucharist. These two Christian churches, Orthodox and Roman Catholic, existed separately for another 500 years before Luther. With the advent of Protestant churches, we were off to the races. While the Orthodox Church remains largely unchanged, it seems like a new Protestant or Evangelical church splits off daily. This is good and bad. We spend a lot of time bickering amongst ourselves about what the Bible really says and who's really saved. But this diversity can also be positive in that whatever it is that you want from church, you can probably find it. And if not, just start your own church. One of the interesting things that I've learned from Rev. St. John is how consistent most of Luther's ideas are with the Orthodox Church. It would be interesting to know what would've happened if Luther had led a return to the Orthodox Church instead of a reform of the Catholic church.
The text that accompanies the lectures is Martin Luther: A Guided Tour of His Life and Thought by Stephen J. Nichols. He writes of Luther's conversion which began when he acknowledged that he "hated the righteous God who punishes sinners" ... and "raged with a fierce and troubled conscience." Luther's study of the book of Romans led to a spiritual breakthrough in which he was overwhelmed by an understanding of God's gift of grace. Thus the foundation of all Protestant and evangelical churches was laid. Anyone who worships today in this stream of faith would benefit from learning of Luther's discovery of how life-changing the gospel really is.

UVa students presented their work as part of Research Week and learned more than just scientific discoveries.
The 13th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium took place Wednesday. Science and humanities students presented their findings, from how parasites affect bees, to how brain cells deteriorate as people age, to skin cancer treatment.
"Undergraduates from any discipline, year, or major at the University were encouraged to apply by submitting an abstract of their research project," said Sarah Smith, chair of UVa's Undergraduate Research Network.
UVa professors judged the presentations.
Organizers said the event not only offers the chance for prizes, research, and innovation, but also offers students interested in research a place to start.
"It's really promoting that flow from maybe not being so involved in undergrad research to getting really involved. And then, one day, they'll be presenting here," said Venkat Iyer, a chair of the Undergraduate Research Network Symposium.
Smith added that presenting their work to others lets students show what they did and interact with people, welcome after a usually insular research process.
Research Week events continue through Friday. To see the schedule, click here.

"Great All-Around Experience"
By Wayne Alden IV
Comments: I had originally attempted to purchase the same item from a different website. Three weeks after placing my original order with a different site I was told that it was not in stock. The Memorable Gifts site correctly listed the inventory status of the item from day 1. Once the item was in stock at Memorable Gifts the order was fulfilled very quickly and the recipient loved the item. My overall experience with Memorable Gifts was excellent.
"Great Present!"
By Corrie Sirkin
Comments: Beautiful gift for the nurse in your life. Mine is my sister:) I'm sure that she will love it! It looks very nice and will be a great desk accent.

Is an e-reader, tablet, or electronic device on someone's wish list this year? No matter what the platform, there are some terrific apps for children. Some of the best encourage literacy and promote inquiry, rather than just ways to pass the time. An app is a bit different than an e-book, though some of the best are based on children's books and favorite characters.
Fans of Mo Willems' Pigeon books will enjoy Don't Let the Pigeon Run This App! in which children create their own silly stories, starring the pigeon, of course. Children add their ideas, then shake it up, and voila! a story is created.
Another great app based on a favorite children's book is The Monster at the End of this Book . . . Starring Grover from Sesame Street. The story is just as many parents may remember from their own childhood. The app includes tips for parents and educators on how to extend the story and enhance it with early literacy concepts.
A new librarian favorite is Herve Tullet's Press Here. The book is innovative and fun and also seems perfectly suited for the app format.
And finally, the app that has getting the most buzz this year is William Joyce's The Fantastic Flying Books of Morris Lessmore. The app works with the printed book (available from the library) to create an interactive reading experience. Get your iPads ready . . . this is one the whole family will enjoy together!
For more great apps for kids, check out the Westerville Library's Pinterest board, A is for App. And for more recommendations, try School Library Journal's Top 10 Apps for Kids.

Definition of Insomnia
Insomnia is difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep, or having nonrefreshing sleep for at least 1 month.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Primary insomnia refers to insomnia that is not caused by any known physical or mental condition.
Signs and tests
Your health care provider will do a physical exam and ask you questions about your current medications, drug use, and medical history. Usually, these are the only methods needed to diagnose insomnia.
The following tips can help improve sleep. This is called sleep hygiene.
Expectations (prognosis)
You should be able to sleep if you practice good sleep hygiene. See a doctor if you have chronic insomnia that does not improve.

About us
Writer Sebastian Barry speaking of the importance of Arts Council funding at the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Sport, Tourism, Community, Rural and Gaeltacht affairs:
"When I was a very young writer on my own, it did not matter so much if I had no money. I started to write in 1977 and for the first 11 years I did not have three halfpence to rub together. In 1982, I received an Arts Council grant, which felt like being cheered wildly from the sideline. In 1988, the Abbey Theatre put on a play of mine, "Boss Grady's Boys". This meant that for a while my wife Ali did not need to conceal herself under the bed when the rent lady came around. She hid, not because she disliked the rent lady or because the rent lady was fierce, but because she liked her and hated disappointing her every week. Suddenly, this mysterious thing called money was available to support this equally mysterious thing I was doing, writing a play. We have had some wonderful times since.
In 1995, when a play of mine entitled "The Steward of Christendom" was performed, it made some money. Because this money was tax free, we, with our two children, had the opportunity after all those years to buy a house. Nothing was put in our way to prevent us doing that. The issue with regard to the arts is that it is not just about the person producing the art. In Ireland, strange as it may seem, my generation has the glory of bringing up our families from the contents of our minds. The Government has put provisions in place that make this possible. Ireland is not admired abroad because of sentimental or nostalgic reasons, but because our governance has contributed to an enormous achievement. People have been thinking about what it is to have artists. They have been thinking of the fact this country was first dreamed up in the minds of artists living locally in the 1900s and that we have continued to try and dream the country. Our dreaming has been met by very practical steps.One of the things that hurt me as an individual living in Wicklow was to read in the McCarthy report that "art would happen anyway" whether funded or not. I found this a sort of ferocious little libel on the life of the artist. I immediately thought of Patrick Kavanagh wandering out into Pembroke Road to borrow sixpence to put in the gas meter or buy a glass of whiskey. He was never quite sure what he should be doing. That is how he lived, despite the fact that he was a great man. He did not have the support of the State. Since 1969, with the institution of the artists' tax exemption, mysterious things have occurred. In that sense, this country has met the original dream. Great structures have been heroically put in place by both Government and agencies of Government such as the Arts Council.
I do not think it would be a tragedy to get rid of these supports but it would be the end of our country. We would need to change the country's name and call it something else, perhaps McCarthyland. It will not be the Ireland of which I am a citizen."

I almost didn't buy this because of the review that talked about the strong odor. I have a very sensitive nose that smells everything. I did not find the product to have a strong odor. Yes after I washed it before putting it on the bed, there was a light smell of chemical. But since being on my daughters bed, I don't smell anything. It is very soft. We love the pink. Its solid hot pink on the underneath. I didn't see where it was a solid on the inside when I ordered it. But we like it still. I recommend this to anyone!!!
soft, snuggly, pretty color (blue) (looks like clouds), good price....im very pleased
This cover is thin and light weight and soft. I got this to cover my 7 yr. old sons comforter. He likes it. The color was'nt black like it stated it's more like dark gray, light gray and white like tye-dye. The cover does the job and is soft.
as always overstock is prompt. The set arrives very crisp and soft but I always wash my bedding first. It does tend to get wrinkled, If you are inclined i guess you could iron it. I like the closed button ends, seems to keep the insert intact which was our problem with our other covers the insert was twisting and falling out. I like the mystical cloud pattern.
I had had this for three years. It washes well and it still looks like the site photo
Lavender duvet cover and shams are very soft and color is true to picture. Very good value for the price. very happy with the quality Arrived promptly.
This is an ordinary cotton duvet. I took it out of the package and it was very wrinkled. So I ironed and starched. Then it looked finel This thing is: I only received one pillow sham, not the two I was paying for. The other sham was supposed to be the spare, because a single bed only uses one pillow. So I didn't send it back.
I would recommend this for anyone looking for bright intense colors and average/acceptable quality items at fair price. The lime color is too intense for my needs so they are going back. These were going to be used in my guest room which is rarely used so I wasn't looking for top quality items. I would think teens or someone looking for a "hot" color would like these very much. Had the colors been right for my needs, I would have kept.
The softness and strength of this product is excellent. It is strong without being harsh to the skin. The closure buttons stay closed!l
sizing is spot on, quality is great ( perfect weight, not to light or to heavy to muscle a comforter in.) i chose the ocean color to change up bedroom for spring.

2000 Fearrington Village Ctr, Pittsboro, NC | Directions 2731235.801382 -79.091601
I had the best mani/pedi of my life with Debra the other day. She was gentle and attentive. She got all the dead skin off, and I'm a bigger girl so that takes awhile! She took her time and made it feel like a real spa treatment. I was really impressed by her professionalism. I will always recommend Debra and I will be back!
This place is such a wonderful place because the location is not that stressful and you can always expect that your room will be ready after a long day.
This place looks amazing from the inside. It has a very flattering feel and look. I love how the housekeepers are so polite, efficient, and quick to respond.
Amazing! – This restaurant is absolutely oustanding! The service and food were impeccable. If you are looking for a special evening and are willing to spend some money, this is the only place you should look.
Southern Charm – My husband and I recently came for a weekend getaway (our first trip to Fearrington), expecting a relaxing, serene experience and got that and so much more. From the moment we arrived, passing the belted cows and seeing the quaint village shops we knew we would want to stay for more than just the 2 nights. We were instantly greeted by the front desk staff who were all informative, friendly, and professional-even escorted us to our rooms with a tour! Our room was decorated exquisitely-had a real english style that made it truly unique. I could tell the rooms were decorated with the finest of detail and had an older look to them yet had all the new amentities such as the heated towel racks/new flat screen TV's & DVD players. We finally ventured out of the room to enjoy afternoon tea which could not have been any better sitting by the crackling fire on the chilly November day we had. I then walked through the shops and was surprised to actually find some great Christmas gifts for my family-I'm sure I could have found many more for myself had my husband not found me! That night we went to the restaurant for our 3 course meal which was truly the best meal I've had in a long time-the setting, service, and food was well worth it and I left that night quite satisfied. Overall, Fearrington was truly a fabulous experience for us, and our only regret is that we didn't stay longer! We will definitely be returning!!
Disappointed - Not up to Relais & Chateaux Expectations – Stayed for my birthday in October 2006 and booked a standard room. The room was fairly small, both the furnishings and furniture had seen much better days, there were stains on the carpet, and the TV was a 10 year old Zenith model which you wouldnt see in budget hotel never mind a luxury inn!! The staff were very nice though one waiter was a little condescending, the afternoon tea and breakfast were both superb, I did not have dinner though felt pressure to do so by a number of staff asking when were our reservations..
I know I only paid $240 for the standard room but I expected much much more from a Relais & Chateaux property.
Overall I was disappointed and would not recommend to stay at the Fearrington Village Inn.
This peaceful country getaway gives guests a great excuse to flee the city. – In Short
This inn is located in a pleasant little village eight miles south of Chapel Hill. All the rooms are comfortable; the suite offers a fireplace and Jacuzzi tub. Gourmet breakfast begins each day, and afternoons may be spent strolling the beautiful gardens or relaxing on the front porch, watching the cows lazing in the pasture. English afternoon tea is served by the fireplace at the restaurant.
Get Romantic Getaway – It's pricey, yet you pay for what you get....and you get a lot at Ferrington House. My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary there, which was a wonderful memory!
Wonderful – Our stay was fantastic. The service was above and beyond anywhere else in the state. Our room had the most beautiful view of the gardens... we will surely be back to visit again soon!
Way Overrated!! – I am from NYC and have eaten at many great restaurants and I expected the Fearrington Restaurant to live up to my standards and the hype surrounding it. I was very disappointed and really did not like anything I ordered. I had the shrimp frisee salad, the goat cheese salad, and the filet mignon. The goat cheese was delicious, but everything else was mediocre at best. The filet tasted strange and the shrimp was bland. The bread was even hard and stale. The atmosphere was decent, but a little stuffy. I had the chocolate Souffle for dessert and I loved it, but the fondant cake was dry and nothing special. The meal was way overpriced!!! The meal was expensive even by NYC standards and it wasn't even good. Definitely skip this restaurant and go for something better.

I just got back from spending some time with my sister Kiki in Madrid. We are very, very close but we hadn't seen each other in fifteen years! It was an incredible and emotional reunion. We visited the Real Jardín Botánico one day and these are some of the wonders I spied with my little eye. The last photo is the view from the plane before landing in Madrid.

Tombo means dragonfly in Japanese. It's also the name of this very nifty bamboo tool I learned how to make at ceramics school last week. It is a traditional Japanese measuring gouge used for making duplicate cups or bowls on the pottery wheel. It gives you a target width and depth of a bowl when you are making a matching set, which is what I will be attempting to make in my wheel throwing class.
And I wouldn't be me if I didn't decorate all my throwing tools with my wood burning tool, right? :)

Some folks have begun to add their weights and have added new categories as well, and I think this could be a really cool thing, If more people got involved.

SPRINGFIELD — A new compromise version of a bill that allows carrying guns in public won approval Friday in the Illinois Senate and the House.
If the bill is signed by Gov. Pat Quinn, then Illinois would join the rest of the country by allowing the carrying of concealed weapons.
The Senate passed the bill 45-12. The House approved it 89-28.
Lawmakers in recent weeks have been tweaking concealed-carry proposals, trying to find a plan this is palatable to downstate lawmakers, Chicago-area lawmakers, House members and senators.
The biggest change with the new bill is that Chicago and other large, home-rule cities would be able to keep their current bans on so-called assault weapons.
Last week, the House overwhelmingly adopted a more permissive plan 85-30. But Senate Democrats voted it down, objecting to a provision that invalidated all existing local firearms ordinances, such as Chicago's assault-weapons ban.
Chicago-area lawmakers, fearful of gun violence, wanted cities to be able to keep their own gun ordinances, so the new version has a compromise: Local governments would be able to retain those rules, but require the enactment of concealed carry. Local governments would also be blocked from approving new rules for transporting guns and assault-weapon restrictions.
Rep. Jerry Costello II, D-Smithton, who was one of the lead negotiators on the issue, urged House members to vote for the new plan.
"It's a proven fact, statistically, that crime goes down when concealed-carry is implemented," Costello said. "This is a great piece of legislation."
Sen. Bill Haine, D-Alton, said the new bill is sensible, and a result of much negotiation.
"This bill is for the common good of all citizens -- those who live in our dense cities, and those who live in our rural areas," Haine said. "It's time to put this issue to rest and let people possess firearms who are trained, who are law-abiding, who will follow the law as outlined in this bill."
Sen. James Clayborne, D-Belleville, said: "This creates a uniform, commonsense concealed-carry program for Illinois citizens. This ensures a citizen's Second Amendment rights and avoids the uncertainty of missing the June 9 deadline."
In December, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered Illinois drop its ban on public possession of firearms by June 9.
Like the previous version of the bill, the new one sets up an appointed review board that has the final say on whether someone can have a concealed-carry license.
Illinois State Police would be required to issue a concealed-carry license to anyone who meets prescribed requirements. But any local law enforcement agency would have the ability to object to a person's application if there is "reasonable suspicion that the applicant is a danger to self, others, or poses a public safety threat."
An applicant could appeal that objection to the Concealed Carry Licensing Board, a seven-member panel that would consist of three members from Cook County, and four members from outside Cook County. Members would be appointed by the governor, with approval by the Senate, and must be former federal judges, federal prosecutors or federal law enforcement agents.
The fee for a license would be $150 for Illinois residents, and $300 for non-residents.
An applicant would have to complete 16 hours of training, the most in the nation. Military experience and a hunter-safety course would count toward the training requirement. Costello said he "really fought hard" to get the military credit, which counts as eight hours.
The new bill's Senate sponsor, Sen. Gary Forby, D-Benton, said carrying guns would be prohibited in "a ton" of places. They include schools, child-care facilities, playgrounds, public parks, amusement parks, airports, libraries, hospitals and on public transit.
Senate Democrats strenuously objected, but carrying would be allowed in bars and restaurants, if the establishment's alcohol sales don't exceed 50 percent of the establishment's gross receipts.
Chicago Democrats got all of what they requested in terms of specific gun-free zones, including mass transit buses and trains, schools, other government buildings, parks, hospitals and street festivals.
But Rep. Brandon Phelps, a southern Illinois Democrat who sponsored the House proposal, was able to keep in that automobiles should be a "safe harbor," meaning a secured gun could be kept in a car, even if it's parked in a prohibited place.
Sen. Kyle McCarter, R-Lebanon, said he feared creation of so-many gun-free zones was "setting up targets for evil-doers."
Business owners would be allowed to prohibit carrying of guns on their property.
All of the metro-east's senators and representatives voted in favor of the bill, House Bill 183.
The Senate and House also OK'd legislation regulating the private sales of guns and requiring the reporting of lost or stolen guns to authorities.
The Senate voted 41-15 on the bill that popped up on the floor Friday for the first time. It came right after the chamber approved the carrying of concealed guns.
The measure sponsored by Sen. Kwame Raoul, a Chicago Democrat, requires a person selling or transferring a gun to verify the buyer has a valid Firearm Owners Identification card.
It also requires lost or stolen guns be reported within 72 hours.
Both measures were part of Raoul's concealed-carry bill before gun advocates protested.
The bill is House Bill 1189.
The Senate voted down a plan to limit high-capacity ammunition magazines.
Senators voted 28-31. The legislation would have banned magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
Gov. Pat Quinn, Senate President John Cullerton and bill sponsor Sen. Dan Kotowski lobbied for the bill with parents of children fatally shot Dec. 14 in Newtown, Conn. The parents of three children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School gave emotional testimony at the State Capitol.
Kotowski says legislation would exempt police, military and shooting competitions.
However, Todd Vandermyde of the National Rifle Association has said he should have the same weapons as police to protect his family.
In a statement Quinn says he's disappointed lawmakers didn't approve "common sense legislation."

So, I have a small apartment, right? With no outdoor space, remember? From before? Okay. I am, however, blessed with a kitchen that gets a lot of light, and unsightly bars on my windows can support a flower box. So here are a few of the things I've been up to:
Last weekend's window box was such a success that I decided to keep it going and build two more. Since this window is low enough to water but too high to really pick anything out of it, I chose some geraniums and a climbing jasmine.
Here's where things get a little cray. Tomatoes? Indoors, you say? Weird, but true. I planted one tomato outside, and this one inside, and guess which one is doing better? Yeah, inside. They're both growing well, but the indoor kid is really taking off. I planted some arugula from seed just for fun, and also small pots of collards, cucumber, and basil. It's been a week, and so far, so good: everyone is adjusting well and growing like they oughta. The only problem I've noticed so far is that my cat apparently likes to chew on collard leaves, so Sunday I'll pick up some cat grass for him.
In other news, I'm not very good at making pots, but I enjoy the hell out of it.
This is the first piece I finished in my pottery class. It's supposed to be herringbone. Sigh.
