Jim Anderson knows a lot about figure skating. And he knows a lot about flowers. But he also knows the two dont always mix.
Jim Anderson knows a lot about figure skating. And he knows a lot about flowers. But he also knows the two dont always mix.
I never have understood why throwing flowers or other objects on the ice has been allowed. It is a hazard. When did this practice start? You look at vids from the past and don't see this. People attending these events should be told they will not be allowed to enter the arena with them. If they bring them, they will be confiscated and given to a hospital or other charitable organization.
I'm not sure when the tradition of fans throwing flowers onto the ice first started, but it was certainly well-established by 1979 as attested by the ending of the movie Ice Castles.
As long as the flowers are wrapped, I don't see it as a problem. I like the tradition of throwing gifts to the skaters - it shows them that the audience really appreciated their performance. Unless, the skater is blind like the girl in Ice Castles, I don't really think it is dangerous. Just make sure the ice is cleared off thoroughly before each skater, and that's that.
The applause tells the skater that his performance is appreciated and that's that lol. And what about the feelings of the skaters who have nothing thrown on the ice for them? There are some bad manners involved here. Send your bouquets and toys directly to the skater, so others don't feel under appreciated.
But won't the skaters who get less applause feel under appreciated? Should applause then be monitored too?
Ah Ice Castles. Such a wonderful guilty pleasure of a movie...
It's fun for the skater to get something thrown on the ice. For comps discouraging it, they leave the hockey netting up. I haven't seen flowers thrown, just plushies.
I really don't see a connection between throwing things on the ice and the skaters feeling appreciated. That's like comparing apples and oranges. The little strawberries that Smuckers was handing out at the 2012 Nationals caused more delays than anything. Flowers are wrapped but not always successfully and half the time the skaters dont' know what to do with them. All the stuffed animals and what-not are just bothersome. What is a skater going to do with a couple hundred beanie babies, etc.
IMO, a standing ovation that goes on and on really tells the skater what their performance did to the audience. I think throwing stuff on the ice should be banned. When you have to sit for 10 minutes while little munchkins go all around the rink picking up stuff, hoping nothing gets missed to mess up the next skater - it beccomes sort of ridiculous.
I think skaters know when they've laid down a good skate. They get reaction from their coaches as well.
The best Olympic Games ever was Innsbrook, 1976.
When Dorothy Hamill won the ladies title the flowers came down to the ice like rain. Back in those days, the skaters simply stood at the boards and waited for the judges' marks. She had an armload of flowers, and the little girls kept bringing more. I think there were three people with their arms full of flowers by the time she received her marks.
I still watch the video on youtube every now and then.
I remember the commentators telling the viewers that the flowers were sent to a local hospital, but in a competition shortly thereafter, some skaters stopped their routine because of flower debris left on the ice, and the tribute of choice changed to stuffed animals, which I think still go to local hospitals.
Awwww SkaterBoy - wrong movie!!!! The hockey player and the "toe pick" chick were not Ice Castles!

by Blunteeezy July 14, 2008
A bloint is a hybrid between a Blunt and a joint. The crossjoint design is used with a madfattybluntsworth and a joint instead of two joints. A hole is first made through the blunt and then another hole is made through the joint. The joint is then inserted into the blunt in order to create the cross. Only the highest level of smokers have experienced the greatness that is the Bloint
It was another weekend chillin with the DOP, there was madfattybluntsworth all around. The idea was proposed and it was done. History forever remembered the day the Bloint was born into the lives of all of them.

November 24, 2012, 07:24 PM
Bersa is better made & shoots better (IME & all that) but 9x19 is a better cartridge. Any particular reason these two only or might other possibilities exist?
November 24, 2012, 09:49 PM
I have other guns. These two just struck my fancy. When i buy a gun i look at it as if it were my only gun because i want to shoot them not send them off for repair every few hundred rounds. Both of these get pretty good reviews. Also i wont go to ktog or bersachat, simply because they are loyal to the guns the sight is dedicated to.
November 24, 2012, 11:35 PM
I own both. Well, not the Thunder CC, but the "original" Thunder .380. This would be a tough choice indeed. For me, a slight edge tips in favor of the PF9, and that is due to the relative affordability of the ammunition for it, that ammunition's greater potency, and the gun's greater ease of carry.
But the Bersa is definitely a more-solid-feeling gun, with an all-metal (aluminum frame, steel slide) construction, and the .380 is certainly a capable defense round. It's also more fun to spend time with at the range, albeit at a higher cost.
My PF9 is my EDC, and has been since it arrived about a year after the Bersa did. Both of my guns, though, have been superb performers for me.
November 25, 2012, 12:13 AM
Pf9, because I hate Betsa's and I hate .380's

But the Bersa is definitely a more-solid-feeling gun, with an all-metal (aluminum frame, steel slide) construction, and the .380 is certainly a capable defense round. It's also more fun to spend time with at the range, albeit at a higher cost.
The 9mm is a better and less expensive round and I'd rather carry the PF9. But, if this was going to be my "only" hand gun I would take the Bersa Thunder 380 for pretty much the same reasons MedWheeler stated, but not in the CC version. If the CC version was the only Bersa option I'd opt for the Keltec PF9 and be satisfied with it's better carry qualities.
November 25, 2012, 09:39 AM
tough one. had both at one time.if just one - Bersa. Its gotta be the best bang for the buck. Reliable, ergonomic, and very solid. can you really say the pf9 is better even it is a 9mm. thats a real tough one cause i liked the keltec too.
November 25, 2012, 10:37 AM
"If only one" I would choose the Bersa. It's a half price copy of the PPK and the heavy frame dampens the recoil quite a bit. A very reliable weapon and design.
November 26, 2012, 02:56 AM
PF-9. The Bersa is a better range gun, but the PF-9 is far superior as a CC firearm.
Quaity of the two is similar, really. Both are solid but utilitarian handguns, not finely crafted shootin' irons. KT gets the nod for customer service, though. They are truly unrivaled in that department. Seriously, what other company will send you replacement parts for free when you admittedly lost that part? I was "de-linting" my P3 at the shop I was working for at the time, hit it with 160 PSI air pressure and blew the ejector out into the middle of a high traffic 6-lane avenue. Called KT, they sent a new one plus a couple extra recoil springs at no charge (not even shipping).
November 26, 2012, 03:11 AM
My answer really depends on the shooters ability.
For the novice the bersa is better. They're far more shootable, have a more beginner friendly safety a better trigger and ime are much more accurate.
For someone more experienced that's up to speed on what it takes to carry a dao firearm with no safety and can control a fist full o fury that is the pf9 and make hits with it it does provide more power in a very ccw friendly package.

Wow, I have to completely disagree with you on that one. I feel a DAO pistol is better for an inexperienced shooter than a Walther-type DA pistol due its much simpler operation. With both guns you load a magazine, insert the magazine into the gun and then chamber a round.
With the Bersa/Walther, your choices are then:
If the safety was off when the round was chambered, leave the gun as it is, hammer cocked and safety off (not advisable unless youre immediately ready to shoot.)
Decock the gun with the decocker and leave the safety on.
Decock the gun with the decocker and take the safety off.
Decock the gun manually with your thumb on the hammer and leave the safety off.
Decock the gun manually and put the safety on.
If the safety was on when you chambered a round, the hammer will follow the slide and the gun will be on-safe with the hammer down.
You can then leave it as it is, safety on and hammer down.
You can disengage the safety and leave the hammer down.
You can disengage the safety and cock the hammer with your thumb.
Then to fire:
If the hammer is cocked and the safety is off, pull the trigger in single-action mode.
If the hammer is down and the safety is off, pull the trigger in double-action mode.
If the hammer is down and the safety is on, disengage the safety and pull the trigger in DA mode.
Once youve fired your first shot, you may then do any of the things in the first part above, and not necessarily the same thing you did before. Or you can shoot again in SA mode.
With the Kel-Tec, once youve loaded a round your choices are then:
Keep your finger off the trigger and dont shoot.
Pull the trigger DAO and shoot.
Same choices once youve fired your first shot. Finger off the trigger and dont shoot, or pull the trigger DAO and shoot.
I'll agree that the Bersa is easier to shoot at the range, but I think the Kel-Tec is a *better carry gun.
*Your mileage may vary. :)
November 26, 2012, 07:35 PM
Kel-tec guns just feel cheaply made to me, more so then Bersa.
I have no qualms about the .380acp as a carry gun and for awhile I only had a .380 (BDA). My P-11 is ok,nothing to get excited about and I don't carry it, so get the Bersa ;)
November 26, 2012, 08:01 PM
Having had both, I'd take the Bersa over the PF9 any day. The PF9 was reliable but I didn't like shooting it one bit. The Bersa was reliable, accurate and just as easy to conceal. Get some hot .380 ammo and you'll be fine
November 27, 2012, 11:01 AM
Wow, I have to completely disagree with you on that one. I feel a DAO pistol is better for an inexperienced shooter than a Walther-type DA pistol due its much simpler operation
First, the PF-9 is not a really a DAO gun. The hammer is partially cocked by the slide, and there is no second strike capability. This is why the PF-9's trigger is much better than the P11.
Secondly, the reason RW said that is not because of the manual of arms. It's the shootability of the two. The PF-9 is half the weight with near double the power, and that is very evident in the recoil of the 12 ounce gun. They are not especially pleasant for anyone, downright painful for some. They're meant to be carried a lot and shot little, just like other micro-sized, ultra-light handguns. The Bersa is just small and light enough for comfortable CCW, but has enough heft to it to be comfortable for extended shooting sessions.
Go put a box of rounds through each and see if you still think the PF9 is a better gun for the beginning shooter.
November 27, 2012, 06:01 PM
Whichever of the two is more reliable (goes bang each and every time) and I really don't know which that would be. SWAT magazine did a test on a number of 380 pistols a few years ago. Most of them seemed to lack reliablility (at least that was my takeaway).
November 28, 2012, 07:57 AM
I'd just be really sad that I couldn't afford a better pistol! :evil:
November 28, 2012, 10:30 AM
Never owned or shot either one, but if those were my 2 choices it would be the pf9. I like the looks and design of the bersa better and if it was chambered in 9x19 I would definitely go with the bersa but since its a .380 there's no way in my mind. More expesive ammo for less power, not for me. I had a S&W Bodyguard .380 and it was just not for me the ammo price compared to the luger did me in. Again this is just my personal .02 worth if its even worth that :p.
November 28, 2012, 11:16 AM
did i miss something in the title of this thread? like "if there could only be one autoloader?" maybe i'm just too old, but where are the revolvers?
my one would be a 4" s&w 686 of ruger gp`100, .357 magnum. defense, small/larger game, availability of ammo, ruggedness.

Kel Tec PF9...but also what budman46 said :scrutiny:
November 28, 2012, 04:39 PM
I am so tempted to say NEITHER!
If I was forced, I'd choose the metal frame over the plastic frame (in this comparison only).
No offense to anyone intended, but I don't know why I even bothered to read this thread to the end, much less answer.
November 29, 2012, 08:34 AM
I ued to own both but sold them long ago,I Would choose the PF9 for one reason only,Im not a huge fan of the 380,I own some but if it was to be my main pistole it would be the 9mm over the 380.
November 29, 2012, 11:30 AM
I've owned both at one time and only have the PF-9 left.
IMO the Bersa is a better made gun and the .380 is an excellent round for a back up.
I am of the impression that the 9mm is a better round so I carry the PF-9 daily as a primary or a BUG.
Over 2k rounds through the PF-9 without a hiccup. Maybe it's built better than I thought.
November 29, 2012, 12:10 PM
9mm, light, and thin wins the gold for me! If I had to dump the four I carry, a pf9 would be the last carry gun standing.

Bersa .380
November 30, 2012, 12:28 AM
The Bersa. I handled a Bersa 380 and liked it but instead purchased a Kel Tec P3AT. Sold that (I decided .380 ammo was ridiculous compared to 9mm and 9mm had more oomph.) and got a Kel Tec PF9. Sold that after I got my 2nd Kahr CW9.
In the middle of all that I got a Bersa Thunder UC9 Pro. Damn fine weapon!
You might want to look at this firearm. IMO Bersa's best and 9mm to boot. ;)
November 30, 2012, 12:40 AM
between those 2 the double stack bersa
November 30, 2012, 07:18 AM
I to think the Bersa is a better built gun,but for its size and weight there
are many 9mm options that better it.
November 30, 2012, 12:03 PM
One handgun.... okay, if I lost all of my handguns tomorrow in a fire or theft, I would probably replace my S&W 442 (38spl) first with exactly the same gun.
It is not my favorite firearm, not even close. In fact, I dislike even shooting it.
The choice has to be situational in this kind of thread. My first reaction was to buy a high quality 22LR DA revolver because I would shoot it far more than anything else. But some things take priority and it would have to be the M442.
November 30, 2012, 09:28 PM
PF-9. The Bersa is a better range gun, but the PF-9 is far superior as a CC firearm.
I wouldn't say "far" superior. It shoots a superior round (9MM vs. .380), but it doesn't hold as many of them. It is lighter, but that makes it nastier to shoot, which means you won't shoot it as much. So, yeah, if you want to shoot it a lot, get the Bersa ( and start reloading .380). If you want to carry something that packs a substantial wallop, get the Kel-Tec.

a hypothetical time of day uttered in response to the question of "what time is it." when consumption of said malted beverage becomes an event that is either inevitable or required to proceed with life as we know it in modern society. No other time expression exists with beer in it, ie. there is no beer fifteen, or quarter to beer, there is also not a half past a beer or beer forty five. If it is not exactly beer thirty when someone asks you just say its getting close to beer thirty.

Half Past Time for a Beer...you're WAY overdue for a cold one and should've started drinking a while ago but weren't able to because you had to finish something up first. When you're finally to the point where you can actually sit down and enjoy a beer that you've earned or need, that's beer thirty.
Well, the work day is over, and it's definitely beer thirty. Any one care to join?

Superintendent Joe Pye was concerned about Dorchester District 2 when he received early results of statewide testing from the Department of Education until he looked at the larger picture.
PASS exam
What it is: Public school students in third through eighth grades take the exam; tested subjects are writing, English language arts (reading and research), mathematics, science and social studies.
Why it matters: PASS is one of the tests used to calculate schools' and districts' ratings on the state's school report cards, as well as the grades released Thursday under the federal accountability system.
Results: The following is the percentage of students who met or exceeded the state standard in 2013 for the subjects and grades listed, and the percentage-point change from the previous year.
District 1* 1a 2 2a 3 3a 4 4a
Berkeley 86.2 1 67.8 -4.1 68.8 -7.2 71.2 1.5
Charleston 84.3 2.8 71.5 -1.2 70 -4 74.5 6.6
Dorchester 2 88.4 1.2 74.6 -3.5 83.6 -1.1 76.8 -2.8
Dorchester 4 79.6 -2.5 49.3 -7.8 69.8 -2 58.6 4
Statewide 82.9 2.6 67.4 -2.4 69.8 -2.8 70.2 1.6
*: (1) 3rd-grade English/language arts, (1a) percentage point change from 2012, (2) 8th-grade English/language arts, (2a) percentage point change from 2012, (3) 3rd-grade math, (3a) percentage point change from 2012, (4) 8th-grade math, (4a) percentage point change from 2012
Source: S.C. Department of Education
The district went from a 91.7 to a 90.7 on its letter grade, which is based on results from PASS tests, exit exams, end-of-course tests and graduation rates. Statewide, that number dropped from 90 to 83.8.
"Any concerns I had with the preliminary data were kind of erased when I saw that it mirrored the state," Pye said. "That made it a little easier to swallow."
The achievement goals rise each year, making expectations higher. Of 84 districts statewide, only 15 stayed the same or improved from 2012.
Dorchester 2 was among 10 districts that earned an "A" in 2013, and one of nine that has had an "A" both years the grades have been assigned.
"The first thing I looked at, it looks like we went up in everything, so how did our score go down?" Pye said. "I don't think it's as bad as it appears. It's just that the target keeps changing. Every time we think we're doing better and seeing positive gains, then the target moves up."
Pye said district officials are already meeting to discuss areas of weaknesses, such as eighth-grade social studies PASS tests, where the percentage who scored "met" or "exemplary" fell from 84.4 in 2013 to 77.2 this year.
"Eighth-grade social studies is where we had probably our biggest drop," Pye said. "We want to go 7 more (percentage points) up. We didn't want to go 7 down. So we're going to be really looking at that and working with that grade level."
In a comparison with similar districts, such as Anderson 1, Richland 2 and Greenville County, "we're the only one in that group that got an 'A,' " he said. "Right now, the only thing I'm concerned about is it looks like Anderson 1's elementary science might be considerably stronger, so I'm sending people up there to check that out."
Pye points to the district's middle schools, which nearly all earned "A" ratings for the second year. Gregg fell from 93.9 to 88.9 and got a "B."
"A lot of districts have great success at elementary, but fall apart at middle and high," he said. "We're turning the tide of that because our elementary is very strong, but now our middle schools have awakened and they are doing their part, so we've got better-prepared students coming to the high school every year."

Daryl Hannah was arrested (again) Thursday, this time in Texas for protesting the creation of an oil pipeline.
The actress, 51, and landowner Eleanor Fairchild, 78, reportedly stood on equipment on Fairchild's Winnsboro farm to halt attempts at building the Keystone XL pipeline, which would bring crude oil from Alberta, Canada, to the Gulf Coast of Texas.
"It is unfortunate Ms. Hannah and other out-of-state activists have chosen to break the law by illegally trespassing on private property," David Dodson, a spokesman for TransCanada, which is behind the construction of the reported $7 billion pipeline, said in an email to the Associated Press.
The Kill Bill star was charged with criminal trespass and resisting arrest, paying a $1,000 and a $3,000 bond, respectively. She was released around midnight.
The last time Hannah was arrested, she was protesting the construction of the oil pipeline in Washington, D.C.

Reese Witherspoon deserves some rest and relaxation – and she's getting it with new husband Jim Toth in Belize, where the couple were seen this week on their honeymoon, a source tells PEOPLE.
It's been a whirlwind few weeks for the Oscar-winning actress who celebrated her 35th birthday with her family in L.A., wed Toth at her Ojai, Calif. home on March 26, then headed back to work promoting her new film Water for Elephants with Robert Pattinson.
But Witherspoon has finally gotten some down time to celebrate her new life with her new hubby. The couple – along with Witherspoon's two children, Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7 – were spotted "acting like regular tourists," in Belize, according to a source.
The actress was wearing a straw hat, white T-shirt and jeans, while walking around with the her family, the source adds.
According to the blog Postcards And Coasters, which is written by a flight attendant, the star and her family were seen on a flight to the tropical Central American country earlier this week.
But it looks like it will be a quick trip: Witherspoon and Toth, 40, are expected back in Los Angeles soon where they will both get back to work – him at his job at CAA and her promoting Water for Elephants, which is due out in theaters April 22.

Tip of the Week
It's that time of year again. We vow to get our health back on track starting Jan. 1, but not without enjoying (and indulging) during December. Losing weight and getting healthy are two of the most popular New Year's resolutions, but despite good intentions, only a small percentage of us reach our goals.
Making a resolution is the first step, but experts say in order to succeed, you need a detailed blueprint, a dose of positive thinking and a stick-to-it attitude. Here's how to reach success this coming year:
1. Fire up your motivation with your wins. Before you scratch your 2014 resolutions out on paper or type them in your iPhone, take some time to think about what you did right in 2013. What progress have you made on your fitness goals? What can you continue? By referencing the positive, you will feel confident and can ride the tide of your wins into the next year — fueling your motivation.
2. Get specific with your resolutions. "Lose weight" is not a smart resolution. A smart resolution is more specific like, "Lose 20 pounds in the first six months of the year." The more specific you are with your goals, the sharper your focus will be.
3. Have a plan. Once you have your resolutions written down — and only do three at a time so you don't overwhelm yourself — decide how they're going to happen. Say one of your resolutions is to, "Build strength and firm up your body." Okay, how are you going to make it happen and by when? Will you go to a group class? Do circuits on the machines? Use your body weight? How many times a week will you devote to building muscle? Get your detailed plan in print so you can follow it.
4. Don't be all talk. Don't create a resolution just so you can ignore it. Put pen to paper, pedal to the metal and rubber to the road. Chat up your resolutions all you want, Facebook and tweet about them too, but make your actions match your words. Just think, you might inspire people to come up with their own smart resolutions.

Save for one demographic obstacle, the Fort Lewis College Theatre�s production of Christopher Durang�s �Why Torture is Wrong and the People Who Love Them� is a spot-on socio-political satire of post-Sept. 11 America.
I�ll get the criticism out of the way early, appropriate because the only part of the play that is flawed is the beginning. �Torture� opens with actors Erin O�Connor and Bradley Abeyta in bed together on an all-white but hardly Spartan set that accommodates all of the action on stage throughout the play.
Nearby, Felicia Meyer sews alone in a chair. All of this is happening while the house lights are up and the audience files in.
Problem one: Perhaps because of one too many think-outside-the-box experimental theater efforts, I have become inured to expect some kind of maudlin, post-modern bad trip whenever I see such experimental sets. So it took a few moments for me to realize I was watching a comedy. Then I was happy.
Problem two: There is a remarkable dearth of Pakistani actors in Durango. This caused another suspension of my suspension of disbelief as I struggled to determine the nationality of Abeyta�s Zamir as he started yelling at O�Connor�s Felicity in an unidentified accent in the opening scene.
Fortunately, my confusion didn�t linger, and the cast breezed through its third performance, a Sunday matinee.
We quickly learned that Felicity and Zamir met at Hooters the night before and got married in a drunken stupor. Just as quickly, we learn that Zamir gave Felicity Rohypnol � a sedative � and that he is potentially violent, has no job and has hopes to be supported by Felicity�s parents.
That doesn�t go over well with her father, Leonard (played by the age-appropriately cast Dennis Elkins), who immediately identifies Zamir as a potential terrorist and starts rallying support from his shadow government cronies. Leonard also maintains a secret room in the house where he purports to house his butterfly collection, but Felicity is justifiably suspicious of the ruse. As for Meyer�s role as Felicity�s mother, Luella, she�s a Stepford-like wife who owns the same dress in 10 different colors and lives an alternate reality grounded in the New York theater.
The play hits its �Three�s Company� zenith when Zamir and Reverend Mike (Mike Moran), who performed the barroom marriage, meet again at a bar to find gainful employment for Zamir. The reverend suggests he participate in his blockbuster adult film project a few days later � �The Big Bang.�
�I�m a porn-again Christian,� Mike quips.
The conversation is overheard by Leonard�s overzealous patriot, Hildegarde, played by Meryl Ramsey. Hearing words out of context like �Big Bang� and �multiple explosions,� she reports that they�re plotting a massive uprising of some sort.
Act II opens with an abducted Zamir facing his �ber-patriotic captors. Leonard is student of the John Yoo school of interrogation � �It�s not torture unless it causes organ failure or death� � and we are spared the most gruesome scenes by the grace of a thin muslin curtain.
In the aftermath, Felicity is able to do something that so many during the last decade-plus wish we could, too � just hit rewind and start all over again. Would that life could imitate theater. It�d be a lot more fun.

Carell Woodland Sculpture Trail
The Carell Woodland Sculpture Trail is a unique attraction among American art museums - a place where contemporary sculpture by internationally recognized artists is integrated into reclaimed woodland. Its wood-chip paths are rugged and stretch more than one mile. The area is being restored by removing invasive exotic plants and reintroducing native species. Eastern red cedar, black locust and hackberry - all tolerant of shallow soils - give way to hickory, oak, black cherry, ash and persimmon. As you walk the trail, experience the synthesis of art and nature.
Cheekwood Prime Matter, Eric Orr
Ancient philosophers believed the universe was made entirely of prime matter: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. In these materials lay the secret of human life, spirit and nature. This gateway was designed to mark the entrance to the Carell Woodland Sculpture Trail.
Untitled, Ulrich Rückreim
This block of granite was split into five pieces without erasing the marks made lifting it from the quarry. The two flat, manmade corners call attention to the gracious curves of the natural stone and resonant beauty of its rich color.
Steeple Dance, Frank Morbillo
These lofty spires seen to reach for the sky, yet appear to cave inward, as though nature is reclaiming them. The steel is intended to rust into a rich, orange patina that stands out beautifully from the deep green cedar trees all around.
Turtle, Two Hares, Frog and Hawk, Frank Fleming
Creatures of the forest gather as though assembled for a community meeting. Notice their lively, almost human expressions. And by all means, don't miss the hawk!
Girdled Figure, Tom Czarnopys
To "girdle" a tree is to cut its bark. When the bark can no longer draw nutrients from its roots, the tree dies. The figure in the tree was cast from the artist's own body, giving the sculpture an almost human soul.
Glass Bridge, Siah Armajani
More than 500 years ago the great glassblowers of Murano, Italy, tried to build a glass bridge over the Grand Canal in Venice. Sadly, the sparkling gem collapsed into the lagoon, not to be recreated - until now. Sculpture today may be more than an object to behold; experience the magic of passing through this remarkable creation.
A Memorial To The Aboriginal People Of This Land Who Lived In With These Forests, Yoné Sinor
Native Americans traversed these forests long before Europeans arrived. Houses were built with upright logs. Hearths kept the homes warm. The dead were honored with sculptures buired in their graves and prayers were offered to heaven on feathers tied to the branches of trees.
Untitled (In A Dream), Jenny Holzer
Read. Sit. Look. Imagine.
Sea Mink, (from the CONDITION OF MEMORY series) Mel Chin
The animal is an absence, merely a shape of what used to exist. Sea minks no longer inhabit the earth, having been made extinct decades ago. The story of the forest is more than what is there; it is often about what is not.
Crawling Lady Hare, Sophie Ryder
Extraordinary creatures inhabit worlds of fantasy. We may expect art to show what is real - but who is to say our visions and dreams are not?
High-Back Windharp Chairs, Doug Hollis
The wire strands make an aeolian harp to capture the music of the winds. Go beyond merely what you hear - the hum of vibrating strings or the ambient sounds of the forest - sit in the chairs and feel like a child as your feet dangle below.
"The Order Of The Present Is The Disorder Of The Future" - SAINT-JUST, Ian Hamilton Finlay
Carved in the Latin script of Ancient Rome, the phrase by the French revolutionary Louis-Antoine Léon Saint-Just recalls in ruins the mortality of great civilizations.
Blue Pesher, James Turrell
"Pesher" is an ancient Hebrew word meaning, "to comment upon." In this room, discover a commentary on the heavens. Enter the chamber, sit, look up and reflect. The longer you stay, the more sensitive your perceptions will become.
Tree Poem, John Scott
Based on the shape of real trees in this forest, branch-like patterns gently play off the woven complexity of the natural form behind them. When light reflects off the shiny, textured surfaces, the motionless aluminum branches seem to wave in the wind.
One Line Horizontal Floating - Twenty Feet, George Rickey
Like a javelin soaring through the air, or the needle of a compass turning gently to the motion of the breeze, this moving line of metal makes material the unseen forces of nature. At certain times of day, the sun's bright rays seem to make the form disappear, dissolving it into a fine strip of magnificent light.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians mainstay, 33, was joined by friends and family, including mom Kris Jenner and sisters Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills.
The bride-to-be made a glamorous entrance as she arrived at the hotel, decked out, fittingly, in a white minidress with pearl straps as she rocked silver stilettos.
The parents to baby daughter North – who will play an important role of her own during the big day – got engaged in October with an over-the-top proposal in San Francisco.
Even before Kardashian's monumental month of May began, she expressed her joy about the upcoming time.
"I'm just really excited for this year," she recently told PEOPLE. "So many exciting things are happening in my life, and I feel so much good energy. It's just going to be the best!"

TRUCKEE, Calif. - The Wolverines didn't want to keep anyone up too late Tuesday night.
Top-seeded Truckee breezed through its Northern Division I-A quarterfinal volleyball match in near record time, sending eighth-seeded Sparks packing with a win in straight sets, 25-11, 25-11, 25-11.
"I think we're really starting to come together and play well," said junior outside hitter Mackenzie Redner, who clobbered a match-high 17 kills on 26 attempts. "We're having fun and have good energy right now. We're all excited for zones Saturday."
None of Tuesday's sets remained close for long.
The Wolverines kept the Railroaders on their heels with an efficient serving game and potent offense led by heavy-handed outside hitters Redner and Mel Jones, as well as senior setter Gabby Moretti, who fed perfectly placed assists for her teammates smashed to the floor.
In the opening set, Truckee started off slowly before scoring five straight points to extend its lead to 15-7. After Sparks recorded a point to pull to within 16-10, Truckee went on a 9-1 run to close it out.
Behind the serving of Moretti, the Wolverines jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the second set and quickly pushed it to 10-2. The Railroaders managed three consecutive points mid game to narrow the margin to 17-10, but Truckee answered with an 8-0 run to end the set.
Truckee took an early 4-0 lead in the final set as Lauren Peak started off with the hot serving hand. The game ended with a Redner kill, with many quick Truckee points in between.
"I thought Sparks did a really good job," Redner said. "They had good defense and got the ball up."
Senior libero Kestlie Stefanelli was named Player of the Match for the Wolverines, as she finished with a match-high 16 service points, two service aces and 14 digs. Moretti tallied 30 assists, nine service points, three aces, eight digs and three kills, while Jones had six kills, Peak had nine service points, and Becca Berelson had six service points.
The win marked the Wolverines' 12th straight. They're 21-9 overall, with all their losses coming against larger programs. Truckee is 11-0 against fellow Division I-A schools and finished 10-0 in Mount Rose League play. Sparks finished the year 8-20 overall and 2-7 in league.

Monday will mark the beginning of a series of forums on oil and gas activity in what some would call an unconventional alliance among local developers, environmentalists, academics and government officials.
The city of Greeley, The Tribune, Weld Air and Water, Synergy Resources, KUNC, the University of Northern Colorado and Mineral Resources have partnered with the University of Colorado at Boulder's Center of the American West to host three FrackingSENSE forums, the first of which begins Monday with a discussion on drilling practices and an overview of the issues.
Patty Limerick, faculty director at Center of the American West, who has been hosting similar forums in Boulder, said the discussions will seek an evidence-based conversation on what experts know, what they don't know, and what they hope to learn.
Panelists will include the likes of academics from the Colorado School of Mines, CU and the Colorado School of Public Health, government officials from the EPA, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and Gunnison County, industry officials from BP and WPX Energy, and a representative from Western Resource Advocates.
Two more panels will follow Monday's kickoff. One will focus on the risks of drilling and air quality, and the third will examine the regulatory environment for oil and gas.
CU is one of nine institutions participating in a five-year, $12 million grant to maximize the benefits of natural gas and minimize its negative impacts. The Center of the American West is charged with public outreach, and Limerick said she felt Greeley, with its history of drilling in city limits, would provide a productive platform for expanding the program.
The forums come at a time when city officials say they hope to convene a community dialogue on oil and gas.

Fire destroyed a city house and significantly damaged a neighboring house early Sunday morning, leaving three people without a home and forcing another to seek shelter with a relative.
When firefighters arrived within minutes of the 12:29 a.m. call, the house at 1419 Walton Avenue was fully engulfed in flames and had already spread to the neighboring at 1417 Walton Avenue, Assistant Fire Chief Steve Michelone said Sunday.
"When we first got there, that fire was so hot we couldn't even make an initial entry," Michelone said.

A home at 1419 Walton Ave., Altoona, was destroyed by a fire that broke out about 12:29 a.m. Sunday.
The house at 1419 Walton Avenue had a propane barbeque grill which intensified the fire after its relief valve ruptured and in turn destroyed the first floor's contents, Altoona Fire Inspector Timothy Hughes said Sunday.
"I had to have them draw me a picture of where the furniture was," Hughes said.
Christopher Holland, identified by the fire department as the owner of the two-story frame house at 1419 Walton Ave., was not at home when the blaze broke out. Of two additional people who live with Holland, one was at home and was awakened by the flashing of flames, Hughes said.
She suffered smoke inhalation and was taken to the Altoona Regional Health System for treatment, then released, Michelone said. Her identity was not available Sunday.
The owner of 1417 Walton Avenue, whose identity could not be confirmed, was reported to have sought shelter with a relative. Her two-story house has moderate fire damage, in the rear and in its attic, where firefighters were able to contain the fire, Michelone said.
Hughes, as of Sunday night, had not identified a cause. It will remain under investigation, but at this time, there's nothing suspicious, he said.
Michelone said he suspects the fire was burning for a while before being noticed, at a time when a lot of people would have been in bed.
"I was in bed and just about ready to doze off," said a Walton Avenue elderly woman who declined to give her name. "That's when I notice my window lit up just like daylight."
The American Red Cross reported Sunday that it is offering assistance to the residents of both houses. Monetary contributions can be sent to the Southern Alleghenies chapter at 415 Orchard Avenue, Suite 1, Altoona, PA 16602.

I've found three engraved cameo pieces dating to 1845/50 ish and with the overlay decoration, but none have three layers, only two, being the blue cut to clear with the cameo engraving. One was on red. The scrolls decoration on the pieces seem very similar to this. But two were signed and this is not.

It's no secret a Swiss-type machine's tooling zone is a busy place where space utilization is critical. Now, as Swiss parts have become even smaller, clearance remains a common issue, potentially leading to a road block or crash.
GenSwiss now offers the Utilis offset-style Swiss toolholders to address clearance concerns for the subspindle during partoff and for extended nose guide bushings. By design, these offset holders enable the pickoff/subspindle to get close enough to accurately cut off short, small-diameter parts without barstock deflection for better throughput and higher quality. These toolholders are particularly suitable for medical thread whirling applications using clearing extended-nose guide bushings. In addition, for larger barstock operations where a left-hand holder is used in a right-hand machine (or right-hand holders in a left-hand machine), they can be used in place of quick change insert systems. The operator can change inserts without removing the toolholders.
Read more about how these toolholders can help your shop save time by eliminating clearance issues for uninterrupted production.

There are six small and very individual districts there: Baroche, Haute Ajoie (with the Bure plateau), Basse Allaine, Vendline, Coeuvate and at the heart of Ajoie, the Porrentruy district. These are tiny districts with their own features and their own traditions, all of which help to enrich the culture found in Ajoie.
The landscape of Ajoie, defined by fertile soil and vineyards, is especially popular with hikers and bicyclists. Or even multiple-day rides with a horse-drawn carriage let you extensively explore the area. Known also as the "vineyard of the Jura Mountains," the area is also home to the rare trees of the Damassine plum (used for brandy distillation).
- Old Town and Castle – historic town crowned by a castle that was for 200 years the residence of the prince-bishops of Basel, in Pruntrut (Porrentruy).

My chocolate cravings are nothing compared to the profound choco-lust of lifelong chocoholics. I tend to prefer sweets with lots of cinnamon or vanilla. Every once in a while though, nothing else will do. Sometimes a body just needs chocolate, you know? Unfortunately, there's nothing in the US Constitution about an inalienable right to chocolate.
…I assume that's just an oversight.
Anyway, when the cravings strike, these vegan chocolate truffles are a good way to satisfy them. I first encountered them as an assistant in someone else's kitchen and was an instant fan.
The truffles are intensely chocolatey: sweet but not cloying, rich but not overwhelming. Though you won't want to stop eating these truffles once you start, they are satisfying enough that you really only need one or two. Read more… →

Last October a man living near Zanesville unlocked the cages of 56 exotic - and dangerous - animals before committing suicide. Among them were lions, tigers and bears capable of killing human beings in a split-second.
Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz had no choice but to order deputies to kill the animals. When the carnage ended, 48 of them, including endangered Bengal tigers, were dead.
State officials quickly pledged to enact a law restricting ownership of such creatures. Nearly four months later, nothing has been done.
Celebrity zookeeper Jack Hanna, of Columbus, pronounced himself "in a state of shock" over that failure recently. He added, "folks, you're not dealing with some little issue of animals here. You're dealing with bombs."
Hanna is correct. Throughout Ohio - and many other states - there are few or no limits on ownership of dangerous animals.
As many as 200 tigers are kept by private owners in Ohio, Hanna has estimated. Add to that lions, cougars, leopards, bears and other potentially dangerous animals, and it is clear there is risk to the public.
For nearly four months legislators have debated various aspects of a law to regulate ownership of such animals. Yet no action has been taken, in part because of concern about mini-manageries already in existence in the Buckeye State.
It may be that some accommodations have to be made. Surely the General Assembly is capable of enacting a bill that provides at least some safeguards against disasters such as that near Zanesville.
State and federal governments have found ways to regulate a variety of potentially dangerous behaviors. Sports car enthusiasts are subject to speed limits. Machine guns cannot be owned without obtaining federal permits. Even vicious dogs are subject to local and state rules.
Why, then, can't the General Assembly come up with a reasonable law on exotic animals?

LEAD Mentors
All of our courses have strong student success and retention rates due to our devoted team of professors, and the support of our trained LEAD mentors. Mentors are a key part of the program, as they are an integral part of our classes. Mentors work with their familias to build a sense of community and support for students. This helps students be engaged not only with the course that they're taking, but also with the campus as a whole, as well as the community around them.
The LEAD mentor serves as a strong support for students, who can check in with them when they miss a class. Mentors aid students in overcoming obstacles in their education, and help them with finding a community that they can trust and find support from on campus.
In addition to being an integral part of our classes classes, LEAD mentors work hard outside the classroom. They attend weekly meetings with other mentors in the program to discuss upcoming events or field trips, work through challenges, and just generally support one another.
We welcome all students who have taken LEAD classes to consider mentoring with us. LEAD mentors are a diverse group of students from many different ethnic, social, political, and educational backgrounds. They are self-motivated, have a positive attitude, excellent communication and listening skills, and above all, they are students who want to help others. Basic qualifications include: being a DASB card holder, meeting the minimum GPA of 3.0, attending weekly mentor meetings, and attending quarterly mentor/job training.

Booker High School had a surprise visitor Friday night at its football game with Hooker, Okla. It was Gabriel Elizondo.
Doesn't ring a bell? Not that it should, but Elizondo is a Brazil-based correspondent with Al Jazeera, the Middle East news agency, which has been accused in the past of slanting coverage against the United States.
Elizondo was on a road trip across the U.S., talking to people about the effects of 9/11 on their lives. He got to Booker in time for the football game, and wanted to take in the game, talk to some parents, and maybe a player or two after.

The final game in the Texas Tech-Texas A&M football series ended Saturday with the Aggies edging the Red Raiders, 45-40. It was, to say the least, heated.
Tech fans are wondering about the spate of Aggie defensive injuries that conveniently slowed down the Raider offense when Tech approached the red zone. Out of five injured Aggie defenders, one, Jonathan Stewart, dislocated his elbow. The rest came off the field, and were back on within approximately two plays.

King Lear, Macbeth, Richard III, Hamlet, and, of course, Tony Romo. All have a tragic flaw. Shakespeare wrote of the first four.
Bloggers, columnists, and TV analysts will take care of the last one. All have that "tragic flaw."
The first four were fictional. The last one is all too real. Tragic flaw is a literary device where a flaw in the main character brings him to ruin and sorrow, not to mention what it does to Cowboys fans.

SHEPHERDSTOWN - A publication party for In Good Company, the anthology of area poets to celebrate Shepherdstown's 250thAnniversary, goes on stage live at the Shepherdstown Opera House on Tuesday from 7 to 9 p.m.
The publication party is free and open to the public. All are cordially invited. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the program starts at 7 p.m.
The program includes readings by poets and live music by guitarist and singer Don Oehser performing with vocalist Laura First. Ed Zahniser will emcee the evening.
Shepherdstown Mayor Jim Auxer will introduce the first public reading of the town's official 250th Laureate poem, "Thomas Shepherd Walks at Midnight," by town Poet Laureate Georgia Lee McElhaney.
Ushi Nottnagel will read the poems by her late husband, Ethan Fischer.
McElhaney and Ed Zahniser applied for the AHA! Community Grant from the Jefferson County Arts and Humanities Alliance and co-edited the anthology, In Good Company: Poets Celebrate Shepherdstown's 250th Anniversary.
The Shepherdstown Opera House selection of beverages and snacks will be available. Four Seasons Books will offer the anthology for sale in the theater foyer. Four Seasons Books will donate two dollars of the $6 cover price to AHA! Anthology poets will be on hand to sign books and answer questions about "their craft and sullen art."
The AHA! Community Grant provided major funding for the project. Additional funding was contributed by Sotto Voce Poetry Festival and Hope Maxwell Snyder; Shepherdstown 250 Committee and Bernat; and Ilona Popper. Agnes Freund created the posters for this Shepherdstown 250 Event. The anthology was designed and produced by the studio Pernot and Tatlin and printed by HBP Inc., Hagerstown, Md.
Poets featured in the anthology are Carter, Donlon, Eden, late Ethan Fischer, Fite, Grady, Grant, James, Mastrangelo Joyce, the late Kernan, Kezman, Lillard, (Lizzie) A. Lowe, Delano Martineau, Lee McElhaney, McKeithen, Popper, Quinn, Ross, Ross, Silver, Maxwell Snyder, Stuart, Willingham, Yost, Young and Zahniser.
The anthology title In Good Company is the name Amy Young devised for the former Shepherdstown Chronicle poetry page. The popular page, drawn from the Bookend Poets workshops, was first edited by McElhaney and Young and later by McElhaney. The page ran monthly for 17 years under the editorships of John Lehman and Mary Corcoran Lehman and later Daniel Friend.
The Bookend Poets workshop has met monthly since the mid-1970s, when two existing groups combined and began meeting at Shepherdstown's former Bookend Bookstore, the name. That bookstore was started by McElhaney and David and Mary Haynes. The second-Thursdays workshop is now hosted by Four Seasons Books. Shaharazade's Exotic Tea Room has enthusiastically hosted the first-Sunday open reading series, originally launched by Ilona Popper, under the ownerships of Susan and Lance Dom and now Lisa Olney.

From Chestnut Ridge dealing with the death of a team member to Bedford winning its fifth straight District 5 Duals title to Claysburg-Kimmel winning the Southwest Regional Tournament, it was quite a wrestling season around here.
While area wrestlers came up short of winning a state title, there were other highlights to the season. Here's some of them:
Postseason performances of the year: This is a tie among the group of Central Cambria's Tony Risaliti, Claysburg-Kimmel's Ty Dively and Tyrone's Dylan Weston.
Risaliti was voted the Outstanding Wrestler at the District 6 Tournament after beating Forest Hills' friend and workout partner Cody Law, 7-4, in the 160-pound finals. Law had beaten Risaliti twice during the regular season.
Dively might have been voted OW at the Southwest Regional if there was an award given. Dively finished fourth at the rugged 138-pound weight class at the District 6 Tournament, but he beat Penn Cambria's district champ Nick Szala in the semifinals and Blairsville's third-placer Noah Tarr in the finals.
Weston finished fourth at the Southwest Regional, but he made a run at the state finals a week later. Weston survived an ultimate tiebreaker win in his first bout, knocked off Forest Hills' District 6 runner-up Richard Brydon, 5-3, in the quarterfinals and lost a 3-2 decision in the semifinals to Hughesville's Kyle Barnes in a bout in which one Weston takedowns was waved off and another could have been called.
Dual meet of the year: That would have to be the second Bedford-Chestnut Ridge match. The first one, a 59-16 Bedford blowout, was far less memorable. They met again in the finals of the District 5 Duals, and this time every bout, every point seemed important, and Bedford won, 29-24.
Bedford had a 26-24 lead going into the grueling final bout, which just happened to pit Thomas Subaru Tournament champions against each other in Bedford's 182-pound champ Michael Brett and Ridge's 195-pound champ Dan Albright. Brett slipped through two Albright cradle attempts, amid the deafening roars of the crowd at Bedford to win, 8-6.
It was the fifth straight District 5 Duals title for the Bisons.
Story of the year: Chestnut Ridge handled the death of Brian Corle remarkably, and the Lions, coach Greg Lazor and his staff should be commended for it. They came up ways to remember Corle, from pointing upward as they took the mat to shirts with his initials. And they didn't back away from talking about Corle, which they also should be commended for.
The Lions won the District 5 individual tournament for the first time since 1983.
A return to winning: Philipsburg-Osceola hadn't had a winning season since the 2000-2001 team went 15-3, but the Mounties, under the direction of coach Tim McCamley, went 15-3 this season and qualified eight wrestlers for the Northwest Regional.
Best individual rivalry: Risaliti and Law's battles were memorable, and Law won three of the four, but there was also the Easter-Crouse bouts. The freshman Crouse beat Easter twice during season, but Easter beat him in the District 5 finals.
District coaches of the year: Lazor was voted District 5 Coach of the Year by the coaches, and Cambria Heights' Mike Eckenrode were voted District 6 Class AA Coach of the Year by the coaches. Both were well deserved.
I emphasize coaches voted for them because a recent writer of a letter in the Voice of the Fan page in the Mirror sports section was incorrect about who voted Eckenrode Coach of the Year. Perhaps he should have gotten his facts straight before writing such a venomous letter about a good guy and coach.
Looking forward
There will be things I'll be looking forward to seeing happening next season. Consider some of them.
n I'd like to see somebody win a state title. Bedford's two-time medalist Ryan Easter would seem to have the best shot, but don't count out his nemesis, Chestnut Ridge's Trent Crouse and two-time state qualifier Tyler Dibert either.
Watch out for Claysburg-Kimmel's two-time state qualifier Josh Brown, Altoona's three-time Class AAA qualifier T.J. Brandt and promising freshman D.J. Hollingshead, Tyrone's state qualifier Jared Beckwith, Moshannon Valley state qualifier James Stodart and Hollidaysburg 285-pounder Matt Barton.
n I want to see the return of one mat for the state finals. With four mats going, much of the focus was taken away from the championship bout. The PIAA got pounded by media, fans and coaches across the state, so maybe it will be changed next season.
n The Altoona Fieldhouse should have wireless internet. Richland and Bedford have it, just to name a couple of schools, as well as the Cambria County War Memorial, where the Southwest Regional Tournament is wrestled. It would be a big help for reporters, who have to leave the gym to email results and stories.
