9 Sound-Alike Words You Didn't Know You Were Screwing Up
#4. Conscious / Conscience
The conscience, as you probably know, is a small cartoon cricket that gives you a guilt trip when you are about to do something bad. Meanwhile, "conscious" is a psychology term for the portion of your mind you are aware of and in control of; for example, the part of you that decides who to ask on a date, as opposed to the part of you that accidentally calls the date by your previous boyfriend/girlfriend's name and therefore ends the date.
When you mix them up, you have this glowing description of how Ron Paul refuses to give in to his suppressed desires:
And you also get intriguing pictures like this one:
Clearly a mob of zombies.
An even more apt description of a zombie. And finally, this amazing literary thriller:
I checked to see if he was going for some kind of wordplay here, and if anyone in the book was described as going through events while unaware of their actions or anything like that, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I did find some remarkable writing, however, like this fine sentence:
"It was a dream," she sundered as she spoke, "though at the time, I was confused, and had trouble determining what was real or not."
It took me a while, but I think it's supposed to be "shuddered." As it is, she apparently just broke right in half while talking about her dream. Considering that one of the characters is named "Lenord," and that the address of a real place in the book is "1234 North Park Drive," I give this book five out of five stars and recommend it as a "Must Read."
#3. Ball / Bawl
The word "bawl" only has one meaning (cry/shout), whereas "ball" as a verb has a number of meanings, one of which is very funny if you are immature. If you are not immature, you go away and sip your chardonnay and listen to jazz, because we gonna get ballin' up in here.
So without further ado, here are some of our finest examples. For those that involve underage children, I suggest imagining them playing basketball or making a lot of money.
When it comes to the popular phrase "balling one's eyes out," the meaning of "ball" that makes the most sense there is "scooping out," like a melon baller. If you're squeamish, I suggest imagining people who are playing basketball or having sex so enthusiastically that their eyes pop out (metaphorically).
It's entirely possible that a boring wedding or the music of Enrique Iglesias might cause people to want to gouge their eyes out, even though I guess music is not visual, but which of us can be completely logical in the face of extreme distress? I won't throw the first stone.
#2. Peek / Peak / Pique
In this case, there's actually three commonly used homophones (words that sound alike, not people who are afraid of gays) to confuse people -- "peek" (to glimpse), "peak" (the high point) and "pique" (to annoy or excite).
First of all, I can't discuss this category without giving credit to Stealth Mountain, the Twitter account whose entire self-described goal is:
He sends out an automated (I hope) message saying "I think you mean 'sneak peek'" every time someone tweets "sneak peak." His work goes sorely unappreciated by its recipients.
Obviously the dude has the market cornered on Twitter "sneak peaks," so in my own humble way, all I can offer up is a "sneak peak" from a major newspaper website.
Meanwhile, since there doesn't seem to be a full-time "pique/peak" spotter, I'll try to fill in that niche briefly.
I believe the meaning here is "My curiosity will never attain this high a level again."
#1. Gauntlet / Gamut
First of all, let's clear up the little tussle about gauntlet/gantlet. When people talk about "running the gauntlet," they usually are talking about someone running between two rows of people who are beating them with sticks, or a metaphor drawing on that image. Originally the word was "gantlet," with "gauntlet" meaning "glove," as in the one you throw down to start a fight. Even though most people agree that "gauntlet" is an OK alternate spelling of "gantlet" today, some people still pitch a fit about it, so you make your own decisions.
Anyway, one word that "gauntlet" certainly isn't interchangeable with is "gamut," which means "a range or spectrum," and has the misfortune to also be used in a "runs the ___" phrase. So "running the gamut" means to cover a whole range, whereas "running the gauntlet" means to endure a series of blows, and it's not a good idea to swap back and forth between them, as you can see:
There is a lot of unintentional dissing going on here as this author describes a song mix as suffering through the music of MIA, Ms Dynamite (or Dyanmite), Public Enemy and Todd Terry, which just seems cruel and unnecessary.
Meanwhile, this actress endured line after awful line of terrible writing in all kinds of genres.
And this piece of art apparently was created by rolling it down a conveyor belt while tormentors shot various colors of paintball pellets at it. An image that ridiculous would normally make me laugh, but sadly there is probably an art student, well, multiple art students, doing it right now.
So until next time, kids, type safe and drive wrecklessly.

I'm willing the big brown eyes, toothy smiles, and the little bird voices to be tattooed on my soul, in my being forever. I breathe these moments like air, treasuring them so much that I don't even want to share them with anyone else. These are my moments.
I've learned that my heart doesn't discriminate the memories. It is shaped by the amazing moments in life just as much as the sorrowful. It plays tricks on me, turning the good times bittersweet when I realize they can't last just one minute longer. And the hurtful times bring joy when the weeping finally ends.
Just yesterday I had to look up Noah's story to see how long he has been seizure-free. There was a time that I was consumed with the hours, days, weeks from his last seizure. I never could have imagined years later I'd be sitting here trying to figure out how long it's been. I haven't forgotten one moment of that hardship and I don't need pictures to take me back there.
I am a different person because of it, but I am not still stuck there. I could never allow that to define me. I've taken pieces of it and unlike trinkets or souvenirs, I've not set it on a shelf to reflect on once in a while. To wallow in self pity. It's no longer something I feel I can use as my crutch.
Because I walk better without it.
What we went through, what we continue to go through, is very much real. Is very much life. And I've allowed it to nurture the person I've become, or really, am becoming.
The edge I stand on is never the same day to day. Where yesterday I felt like I was about to fall, and what was below seemed scary and unknown, today I see the excitement for the jump. For what lies unexpectedly ahead.
With or without pictures.

Fellow Wings fans, I need your advice.
First and foremost, recommendations on where to buy the jersey? I do not live anywhere near Michigan, so, online retailers only. NHL.com seems to be a major rip off. The two places I have found are IceJersey.com and SportsK.com. Any others?
Secondly, because this will most likely be the only jersey I intend on purchasing for quite some time, I am looking for a player that will be around for awhile. I have eliminated Datsyuk as it seems he only has 3 years max left in Detroit. To be honest, I am really looking at either Zetterberg or Nyquist. Z has 5 years left on his contract so I would say that is a pretty solid life for a jersey. Nyquist is a bit riskier just because he hasn't really played as much. Though I think we all liked what we saw from him towards the end of the year.
I know its personal opinion really, but I wanted fellow Wing's fans thoughts on the subject matter. To all signs point to Nyquist being a long time Red Wing?

A U.S. Senate committee Thursday approved Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand's measure authorizing the Army Corps of Engineers to take emergency steps if there's an imminent threat of an Asian carp invasion of the Great Lakes.
The Environment and Public Works Committee included the measure in its reauthorization of the Water Resources Development Act, which the panel sent to the full Senate for consideration.
The measure allows the corps to improve barriers between the Chicago waterway system and Lake Michigan, or to take other aggressive steps if the carp or other dangerous invasive species appear to be entering the lakes through other channels.
"The health of the Great Lakes and all of our waterways, ports and harbors is key to the health of our economy, and the health of our families," said Gillibrand, D-N.Y. "The spread of Asian carp must be stopped before permanently disturbing the natural ecosystem."

Small-business lenders locally have doled out more than $30 million in government-backed loans through the first three months of the government's fiscal year, about 30 percent ahead of last year's pace, according to new data from the Small Business Administration.
The SBA's monthly report shows that 23 lenders provided 158 loans totaling $30.74 million in the agency's Western New York district through the end of December. That's up from 20 lenders, with 141 loans, tallying $23.6 million in the same period a year ago. The district includes both the Buffalo and Rochester markets. The loans were all made in SBA's primary 7(a) program for working capital loans.
In keeping with historical norms, Buffalo-based M&T Bank Corp. maintained a comfortable lead over its rivals as it pressed down on the accelerator in dollars. M&T made 54 loans for $9.38 million from October through December of 2012, up by 8 and 88 percent, respectively, from the same period in 2011.
That means it's making almost the same number of loans, but for much more money, indicating that borrowers are seeking more cash for working capital and growth than last year. That's good news for the economy, as small businesses are widely seen as the engine of the nation's economy, generating more than two-thirds of all new jobs.
As part of the effort to jump-start the languishing economy, political leaders and regulators want to boost small-business lending nationwide. Under pressure from the Obama administration, 13 major banks – including M&T – committed in late 2011 to increase their lending by $20 billion over three years. A year later, as of September 2012, the SBA reported a net increase of $11 billion in loans.
Of course, SBA loans aren't the only source of credit for small businesses, which can also obtain traditional small-business loans directly from banks. Many also use credit cards or even personal loans. And some have turned to nontraditional sources, such as Kabbage, an online small-business finance company that provides cash advances of $500 to $50,000 as a line of credit for inventory, hiring and other needs. The company has extended more than 40,000 advances to small businesses nationwide, originating $200 million a year.
Still, the demand isn't what it had been prior to the recession, because business owners are uncertain about the future. A monthly survey of small-business owners' confidence by the National Federation of Independent Business, or NFIB, in December found the second-lowest reading since March 2010, even after creeping up from the record low in November. The recession-level reading showed pessimism among business owners, as 70 percent described it as a bad time to expand, and 1 in 4 cited political uncertainty.
The survey was taken as Congress and the Obama administration argued over solutions to the "fiscal cliff" crisis. But even after that was resolved, a debate over the federal debt limit and a "regulatory avalanche of historic proportions" still loomed, NFIB chief economist Bill Dunkelberg noted when the survey was released in early January.
Morever, the survey found that only 29 percent of businesses reported that their credit needs were being met. Six percent said they were not being served, while 52 percent explicitly said they didn't want a loan, demonstrating weak demand among borrowers.
Still, that didn't seem to be reflected in the local numbers from the SBA.
Locally, Five Star Bank, the primary subsidiary of Warsaw-based Financial Institutions, came in second among the SBA lenders as of the end of December, with 30 loans for $5.74 million. That's also up from a year ago, by 15 and 36 percent, respectively.
Buffalo-based First Niagara Financial Group was third, with 18 loans for $2.36 million. A year ago, before its acquisition of HSBC Bank USA's retail and small-business operations in upstate New York, First Niagara lagged far behind, with just four loans for $265,000 at this time.
Evans Bancorp of Hamburg was fourth in number of loans, with 10, but 11th in dollars, with $665,500. San Francisco-based Wells Fargo & Co., one of the nation's leading small-business lenders across the country, was fourth in dollars, with five loans for $2.02 million.
All of the other banks and credit unions had fewer than 10 loans apiece. Four had lent between $1 million and $2 million, while the rest were lower.
In the agency's other main loan program, the "504" certified development company loans for fixed real estate or equipment purchases, five lenders had extended $4.78 million through 11 loans. M&T led with four loans for $3.09 million, representing the vast majority of the dollars, followed by First Niagara with three loans for $639,250.

P&P Symposium 2010 - REST, It's more than just data - Glenn Block

Right click "Save as…"
Today it's very common to simply throw some data over the wire and call it REST. But REST as Roy Fielding described it is much, much more. Come to this session and we'll explore the tenants of a RESTful system. We'll start with looking at traditional web services, then we'll remove the SOAP shackles and explore what we can achieve as we get closer and closer to HTTP. We'll also look at various frameworks both within and outside Microsoft for achieving REST Nirvana.

Buffalo Sex Offense Squad detectives are trying to track down a man who raped a woman after slipping a disorienting drug into her drink at a Main Street bar early Friday morning.
The woman was later tracked down by friends who used her cell phone and found, walking on Tyler Street in a disoriented state.
The woman, who was taken to Erie County Medical Center, was unable to recall events after about 1 a.m. today when she was talking with a man at the bar of The Steer restaurant at 3151 Main St. The victim said the man was white, about five feet, nine inches tall and had darker features.
The victim told detectives she did not recall leaving the restaurant but did recall entering what she described as a narrow bedroom with a bed and a white bedspread where she was pushed onto the bed and assaulted.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Buffalo Police confidential tipcall line at 847-2255 or test a tip at (716) 847-2255 or email the police department at www.bpdny.org.

The 6 Most Spectacular Dick Moves in Online Gaming History
Massively multiplayer online games are virtual worlds in which people do whatever they want. And just like the real world, all they want is to screw each other. We've looked at MMO dick moves twice before, but more time and money have gone into video game assholery than real proctological research. And more people have been shit on in the process.
"Time to put on my Warcrafting gloves!"
If gamers worked as hard on reality as they do on leveling up, politicians would come with ESRB warning labels, and after every school shooting, people would actually blame guns.
#6. Reverse Suicide Bombing (EVE Online)
Socratic was the gamer equivalent of the Iraq War: He was stupid, he wasted huge quantities of money and he lethally hated everyone who actually lived and worked in the area. He harvested real money transfers (RMTs), which is the gaming equivalent of taking steroids, and just as likely to mean that he has a tiny dick. And he was terrible at the game. He had a worse kill/death ratio than an anthill attacking an electric fence, and even less tactical knowledge.
EVE Online
So embarrassingly bad at games, even Pac-Man turns red.
He would brag about his giant fortune to the people who'd just killed him, show up 10 minutes later in a brand new ship, then boast from a second pile of smoking wreckage that the victors just couldn't afford to be blown up as often as he could. No one has pissed on so much money since Scrooge McDuck decided to just start going in the pool.
It still technically counts as golden.
This caused the unlikely team of a mercenary conman and an outraged player to reverse Trading Places him. Zedrik Cayne was already being paid to troll Socratic (yes, professional game troll is a job now, welcome to the future) when Morin Blain set up a classic inside-outside scam. Morin made friends with Socratic and suggested a cunning plan. Morin would attack Zedrik and force him to run to a safe spot in high security space. But Socratic would be secretly teamed up with Morin and waiting with an array of massive kill-everything bombs. Note: It is much easier to frame someone for murder when they're using massive kill-everything bombs. And you're prepared to die in the process. And they're an idiot.
"My revenge is complete!"
When Zedrik arrived and Socratic started the unstoppable detonation of that entire area of existence, Morin broke the alliance. Socratic was now randomly murdering a civilian, and 13 more civilians who suddenly leaped out of nowhere into the burning deathzone. These suicide bombees were other players who'd volunteered to doom Socratic, lemmings of justice leaping into explosions to ruin their enemy in high security space. Socratic was now the equivalent of a mass-murdering terrorist throwing grenades on the White House lawn.
It didn't end well. Those aren't speed lines, those are ALL INCOMING LASERS.
Warships of Concord, the in-game police, instantly appeared and shredded him, and after he was dead, he discovered his real problem: security status. At 0.0, you're neutral. At -2.0, you're attacked by police in the highest security systems. At -5.0, every single player in the game is encouraged to kill you in any secure system, and the automatic police navy will help. Socratic was now -9.8. He was double bin Laden in a world where the police have warp drives and every citizen is armed, and would be shot on sight if he returned to lawful space to collect any of his belongings.

Lot # 1476 (of 1594) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
John Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon Barclay's Bank Signature Reference Card
Starting Bid - $400.00, Sold For - $1,762.50
Barclay's Bank of New York signature card for "John Lennon" ("10") and "Yoko Ono Lennon" ("9") was used by the bank to verify their signatures for their checking account. As was standard practice, the authorized signatures of each, as provided by John and Yoko on the form filled out by the Lennons to open their checking account, were cut from the form by the bank, and taped to the signature verification card for future reference. A "Sig Confirmed" ink stamp intentionally marries the signature cuts to the reference card, which is then taped to the card. When checks came to the bank drawn on the Lennons' account, Barclay's referenced these signatures for verification. In addition to being a very unusual John Lennon and Yoko Ono signed item, this is a particularly interesting document as it presents a very rare "Yoko Ono Lennon" signature. We believe this signature card dates from the very early 1970s, shortly after John and Yoko were married. On the reverse is the Lennons' business address. This is a very interesting and unique item signed by both John and Yoko Lennon. Despite some general wear from use, the card has a very impressive appearance and is in overall Very Good to Excellent condition. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $400. Estimate $800/$1,200. SOLD FOR $1,762.50

We arrived at Syracuse Airport early on Thursday, October 24, to begin our journey down south, what I like to call our "great migration." We were eager to board our first flight. Over the course of the next couple of days we would be traveling to places neither Alex nor I had ever been. Our first stop was Atlanta, Georgia. After a lengthy layover there, we began our nine-and-a-half-hour flight to Santiago, Chile, and then proceeded even further south to our final destination in Punta Arenas, Chile. Our preparation for the cruise began the following day.
After a much needed night's rest, we woke early and set off to the National Science Foundation U.S. Antarctic Program warehouse. This enormous warehouse houses important gear and equipment that scientists and other Antarctic-bound patrons utilize. Before we had a chance to collect our lab equipment, however, we had the very important task of gathering our issued "Cold Weather Gear." Some important pieces included steel-toed rubber boots, Karhart overalls, and lined rubber gloves. Since weather down in the Antarctic is uniquely cold and harsh, it is crucial that travelers have clothing that can withstand the extreme conditions. Once we gathered and packed our gear, we began the important task of organizing and preparing our lab equipment.
While onboard the R/V L.M. Gould, we were given access to labs where would be conducting our science. A significant amount of time was spent filling and labeling the many, many drawers and cupboards with our lab tools. We also cleaned and sterilized several spaces in the lab and began installation of the Magnetic Susceptibility (MS) system. Before we ended our workday we had to prepare the lab for the upcoming rough voyage. To prevent lab materials from being broken during the rocky traverse through the Drake Passage, we had to make sure all equipment was securely fastened or in a locked drawer. This was an experience to which only scientists at sea are commonly accustomed.
At the end of our busy day, we celebrated the beginning of the cruise with a dinner at a favorite local restaurant within walking distance from the port. With scientists and crewmembers around the table, we toasted to a safe passage and an exciting trip.
This is our second day aboard the R/V Laurence M. Gould on the open ocean. We are currently heading towards the Drake Passage. This part of journey will be the roughest part of our trip, with swells reaching more than 10 feet. We have been prepping our labs and our rooms for this part of the journey, making sure everything is secured.
We attended a meeting to learn what to do if we ever need to abandon ship. The abandon ship boats are orange and completely contained and can weather storms and rough seas. The interior is pretty sparse, but contain necessary survival gear. They are definitely not like our cozy bunks.
On the science side of things we finished setting up the magnetic susceptibility machine. Getting all the drivers ready and making sure the track is straight so our cores can move smoothly.
As we travel towards the Antarctic Peninsula, we will continue to prep for the science portion of the trip, and keep ourselves busy with the work we receive from Hamilton.
Today was a quiet day on the ship. With our lab equipment successfully organized and unaffected by the ships rocking motion, we devoted this day to a discussion about the scientific significance of our project.
During this cruise we will devote five days to science — taking sediment cores from carefully chosen places within the Boyd Strait and Hugo Island Trough. We hope that the 9m gravity cores will reach the glacial Holocene interface. This specific stratigraphic contact is important because it allows us to date when the overlaying sediment was deposited, as well as temporally constrain the retreat of the ice stream. Overall, we hope to better understand when the ice stream retreated from the continental margin during the last glacial maximum.
The work we will be doing on this cruise is not the beginning of a new project, rather a continuation of a project that began in the early '90s. Due to varying sea state and weather, researchers have been unable to core wherever they pleased. As a result, pieces of evidence are missing, and it is our job to fill some of these voids in an attempt to better understand the timing of deglaciation in a geographic sense.
Why is it so important to know the time deglaciation occurred?
The larger question we aim to answer is, "What caused this major deglaciation?" Was it a change in the winds or the deep water? Was it caused by forcings in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere? In order to understand the cause of this Antarctic deglaciation, we need to know when this event occurred.
After our morning lecture we were free to read some assigned scholarly papers regarding the Antarctic Peninsula in the cozy lounge area. We were also lucky enough to get a guided tour of the engine room. There we learned, and saw, how our ship is equipped to deal with the sea ice we will soon encounter.
Sometime later tonight we will have reached the 200-mile mark. We will officially be at least 200 miles away from any Chilean-claimed land. The next land mass we see will be Antarctica.
We have finally reached the Antarctic Peninsula! After a three-day journey from Punta Arenas, Chile, to the coast of Livingston Island, the Gould completed the passage to the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula. These past few days have made everyone eager to start our assignment. We have been looking at maps and reading papers in order to prepare for the mission. Some members of our team have had to battle seasickness, but all of us are looking forward to tomorrow.
Everyone aboard the ship has the unique opportunity to help setup the U.S. research post on Livingston Island, known as Cape Sheriff, tomorrow morning. This post is a seasonal research station, meaning that it is only open during the summer months in the Antarctic. Livingston Island is also unique because it is an Antarctic Special Protected Area or ASPA, which means that everywhere on the island, except the stretch from the beach to the outpost, is protect from human interference. When we are moving supplies tomorrow, we will tread very carefully as to not disturb the native wildlife.
The team that we will be assisting tomorrow is a NOAA-designated science group. Their research has been to track the habitation and migration practices of seals and penguins. The data the NOAA scientist are gathering involve: geo-tagging the animals to track migration, installing cameras to see animal interactions underwater and weighing and measuring. This will help the United States and the rest of the world create better fishing practices that avoid disturbing the wild animals. All of us aboard the ship are exciting help these guys get set up and running.
With the launching of the NOAA team, we are a step closer to our team's main goal of retrieving cores around Palmer Station. In preparation of this endeavor we had to figure out what coordinates to give the captain, so he can position the ship.
Amelia Shevenell '96 (Chief Scientist) and Amy Leventer, gave us a crash course in map plotting. After our lesson, we plotted the previous core sites from older cruises to practice our skills. We also looked for potential new sites to collect some coring data. On the old sites we hope to expand the scope of knowledge about what lies beneath ocean bottom. In the long run we hope that the coring data will help us attain a more accurate chronologic record of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Happy Halloween from Antarctica!
Today was the most exciting day yet. After several travel days at sea, we were ecstatic to reach our first destination, Cape Shirreff. This small station, nuzzled between two towering mountains, will now house five scientists who have been traveling with us. While we were sad to see them go, we had the amazing opportunity to help them "put in" their station. This laborious process includes packing and organizing food, boating them over to the station, and then unpacking and bringing the materials to the station. With the entire crew and scientists at work, we began this task immediately after breakfast.
Five months of material is hard to imagine. It wasn't until I stepped on deck that I realized how much stuff you need to live modestly, but comfortably. A massive trailer sat on deck loaded with boxes and boxes and boxes containing fruit, vegetables, toilet paper, batteries and electronic gear, among many other items. We created an assembly line across the deck and began placing boxes in massive bags. These would then be lifted by the ship's crane and carefully placed in a small rubber boat that was battling the swelling seas off the side of the vessel. It was much like a crane arcade game…however here the stakes were much higher.
After an hour of helping on the back deck, it was finally time for Alex and me to head to land. After an exhilarating hop onto the boat, we gripped on for the 15-minute boat ride from the Gould to land. After a couple of cold splashes, we made it to land where we were greeted by some of our shipmates who had traveled over earlier. Our work began immediately.
We spent the next couple of hours loading large sleds with the materials that we had just transported over. This proved to be a difficult yet rewarding task. The five scientists were incredibly grateful for our help, and we were just as grateful to have been there. Just as we were finishing up, the waves began to pick up, and we decided to head back to our vessel. We said our final farewell and wished our peers good luck.
The rest of the afternoon was spent recovering from our hard work. I spent most of my time looking through and comparing the pictures my peers and I took. While these photos are awesome and incredible, they don't do the experience justice. The Antarctic continues to surprise, impress and impact me in a profound way.
Today we arrived at Palmer Station, a base operated by the United States that is open year-round and is located on Anvers Island in Antarctica. This will be our last stop before we begin the science portion of our trip.
On our way to Palmer Station, we saw some of the most spectacular sights. We instantly knew we were getting close to Anvers Island when the sound of ice breaking against the hull of the ship woke us up. With cameras in hand, everyone on board went to the bow of the ship and began snapping pictures furiously. The scenery was something straight out of a National Geographic documentary. We were in the Gerlache Strait, surrounded by mountains capped with glaciers on either side of the R/V Gould. The icebergs that floated by the ship were spectacular with white pinnacle tops and perfect sky blue bottoms that extended beneath the surface of the water. After withstanding the cold air for so long, we made our up to the bridge to warm up and gain a better vantage point.
On the bridge of the ship the scenery was only more impressive. We could see the floating ice debris as it approached the ship. Although the ice was beautiful, it harbors hidden danger. Above the surface of the water only a fraction of an iceberg is visible. The bottom extends well below the surface so the ship's pilot must use extreme care. Luckily we had the expertise of Ernest, the ship's chiefmate, at the helm. He gracefully guided the ship through the Gerlache Strait and Crooker Passage.
Between leaving the Gerlache Strait and reaching Palmer Station the back deck of the ship had to be prepped for guide rails. These rails would aid in the launch of our coring equipment. We went to the back and scrapped paint off where the base of the rail would be bolted down to the deck. Although this was a minor task, it is important so the rail system could be set in place as soon as possible. Working out on the back deck we were able to witness at eye-level the ship breaking ice. Once we finished up this task we were minutes from Palmer Station.
Upon arriving we immediately went to the Palmer Station store. We loaded up on Antarctic souvenirs to handout to family and friends. We also ran into some of the people stationed at Palmer, from scientist types to people who make the station run year round. Talking to some of these folks, we realized the tight bonds this community has with one another. They welcomed us into Palmer to experience a small part of living in the Antarctic.
Today we had the opportunity to experience the Palmer Station during the day. This busy station is home to about 45 residents ranging from scientists and students to technicians and cooks. After a quick breakfast we gathered up some reading materials and headed over to explore the station. With 40-knot gusting winds we bundled up and made our way into the galley. This area functions as the kitchen, eating and lounging space. Luckily, a Palmer resident had just added a few logs to the wood-burning stove…we made ourselves comfortable there.
While we planned to get some reading done, we were constantly approached by friends we made on our journey down to Palmer. One particular woman, Allyson Comstock, an artist, gave us a personalized tour around the workspaces, her room and the lab. Allyson was one of two artists whom we brought down to Palmer on the R/V Gould. She and April Surgent will be spending the next three months incorporating their specialized art forms with the ongoing science and Antarctic scenery. They are part of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Artists and Writers program. Allyson and her fellow artist April work alongside the Palmer Station scientists in the labs of the Biology building. This is a testament to the close-knit community at Palmer.
After viewing the labs and facilities at the station, we headed back to our vessel to make final preparations for our departure. We corrected and finalized some of the waypoints, or locations, where we will be coring. Since the weather in the Antarctic is unpredictable, our chief scientist, Amelia Shevenell '96 is responsible for monitoring the state of the sea and wind strength at our desired coring locations. Sea ice and high winds can present dangerous working conditions and inhibit our work.
Tomorrow we will be leaving Palmer and our science will begin.
Today we spent the day at the Palmer Station before departing for the research portion of our cruise. We decided to hike on the glacier that sits behind station. We all got dressed in our official Antarctic gear, and, donning the infamous red jacket and snow pants, we checked out on the station blackboard and picked up radios from the communication manager. Due to the rapidity with which weather can change, these precautionary measure are a necessity.
After gathering the gear, we headed out through Palmer's backyard to the base of the glacier.
A little less than halfway up the glacier the views of Palmer Station and the surrounding islands were amazing, and the team was able to fully capture the vastness of the Antarctic. With a newly migrated ice pack, the bay that surrounds the station was just a white expanse. Using the ship for a sense of scale, the surrounding landscape seemed to keep growing. The glacier appeared to go on forever on either side of us. As we moved higher and higher up the glacier, the view became even more impressive, but the weather also changed rapidly.
Upon reaching the top of the glacier the winds were howling. It seemed as if they cut right through our layers of clothing. It became apparent to us why all the safety precautions we completed before the hike were necessary. We quickly took pictures and headed back towards the base. After checking back in and verifying to the station manager that we were safe, the group headed back to the Gould.
We returned to the ship and made final preparations before departing around dinner time. Amelia Shevenell '96 finalized our game plan before we departed, and the rest of us made sure the lab and equipment were running smoothly.
While we were able to enjoy part of the day, it was a different story for the ship's marine techs and crew who spent the majority of the day setting up the back deck of the boat in preparation for coring. The techs built the different cores that we would be using, while double-checking that everything was safe and secure so we could go out and look at the cores when they came up. This required the techs to work about eight hours. All of us on the science team were grateful for their time because of how critical set up is to the success of our project.
As we are make our way to Palmer Deep, we are hoping that all of today's preparations will lead to a successful first core.

Exceptional chance favors the exceptionally prepared.
Wearing a rain jacket on a damp day's ride won't do you much good if you're soggy under the shell and it's either flapping around or even catching so much wind that you feel like a parachute is attached to your back. With the Castelli Pocket Liner Jacket , you won't have to choose anymore between ending up wet from your sweat or wet from the rain and you'll enjoy a sleek, body-hugging fit that won't slow you down.
In close communication with the Cervelo Test Team first and then the Garmin-Cervelo team, Castelli refined the eVent fabric that it uses to such remarkable effect in the Pocket Liner Jacket. EVent is a waterproof fabric that keeps you dry in rainy conditions. However, unlike most waterproof materials that do not allow the body to breathe, the Pocket Liner Jacket's eVent membrane features millions of tiny pores that are small enough to block large water droplets but small enough to allow the water vapor that you're generating to escape. So next time you see David Millar in escape mode during a cold, rainy stage at the Giro, you'll know that he has a huge advantage over his competitors since he has the Pocket Liner Jacket in his arsenal of secret weapons.
If he – or you – are soloing away from the pack in the rain, the Pocket Liner Jacket offers an additional advantage since it has been designed with a close, unobtrusive fit in mind. To give other rain jackets their due, outer layers of this sort usually have to be pretty roomy in order to fit over multiple layers, especially if you are using them in the winter and are wearing your heavy winter riding kit. The Pocket Liner Jacket fits over winter layers yet also doesn't bag and sag when you have only your jersey on underneath because Castelli incorporated plissé stretch zones for a perfect fit without extra fabric. "Plissé" is just the French word for "pleated;" you'll find a zone of pleated fabric running down either side of the back that can stretch or retract as you need more or less give to cover your kit.
As ever, the details are what lift Castelli item head and shoulders above any of its competition's offerings. Keeping in mind that we often get more wet from wheel spray than we do from the actual water falling from the sky, Castelli has added a storm-flap construction at the back of the jacket that seals around the waist, but also extends further along the bum to help protect against the water and grime kicked up by the wheels. The zipper garage has a hook-and-loop over-flap that increases the water and wind resistance of the zipper region. And if you find yourself getting pretty warm on a climb, but don't want to take your jacket off because it is still raining cats and dogs, Castelli has provided welded ventilation zippers on the sides, so you can open them for full-on ventilation without having to strip down or open up the front zipper. Once you start your watery descent, and need all the rain and wind protection you can get, simply zip up these flaps and you'll be able to focus all your attention on the road conditions. As with all fine raingear, all seams are taped to prevent water from slipping in.
With its super-thin fabric, the lightweight jacket can be easily stuffed into a back pocket to be taken along in case of rain, or removed again once the sun pokes through and the roads dry up. The Castelli Pocket Liner Jacket comes in Grey in sizes Small through XXX-Large.

Great Castelli rain jacket; NO POCKETS
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Fantastic rain jacket. A bit heavier duty than what I consider a "pocket liner" jacket which suited my needs. The sleeves run a little long for Castelli which suited me well at 6'4". Typically I size up with Castelli, however, in this instance I think it is more true to size. NO POCKETS. That's not a huge negative but a side zip rear pocket would have made it perfect.
How is the sizing on this jacket? I usually wear a Medium Castelli jersey, but when I tried on the Gabba convertible jacket, I could have worn a large or even an extra large. Is this one true to size, or should I size up?
I can wear a medium in castelli jerseys but they are snug. I have a large and it fits well. Give me a shout directly if you have any more questions. I personally have and wear this piece
I have a Nike marathon storm fit jacket, it kept me dry even in a 2 hour heavy rain ride. I'm considering to upgrade to a Castelli Jacket for this season. I would like to know the major difference between Pocket liner Jacet and Gabba Jacket? Is Pocket liner Jacket more packable that can easily store in back pocket? Are they also have the ability to keep rider dry in full 2 hour heavy rain compare to nike storm fit fabric?
HI Benjamin,
Thanks for the great question. While I'm not familiar with the Nike jacket you mention, I do know the Castilli Pocket Liner and Castelli Gabba Jacket quite well. Both will help you get out and ride in wet weather, but the two jackets are quite different from one another. The Pocket Liner more of a classic rain shell, albeit a very well-executed one. The Pocket Liner is fully waterproof, with taped seams for full storm protection. The Event material is thin, lightweight, and does not have any stretch, although the accordion-pleated panels keep if fitting close to the body. It does not have pockets. The XL can roll down to the size of a burrito, and stows in the center jersey pocket nicely. I would wear this jacket over a jersey, or in colder weather, and jersey and a base layer.
The Gabba Jacket is made out of Gore Windstopper Soft shell material. It is stretchy and softer inside and out than the Pocket Liner. The fit is closer to the body. Although the Windstopper fabric is waterproof and windproof, the seams are not taped or sealed, so the jacket is considered water-resistant rather than waterproof. The sleeves zip off, with a short sleeve underneath. There are 3 rear pockets. I would wear the Gabba Jacket on its own or over a sleeveless or short-sleeved base layer. Think of it as having the fit and function of a jersey with the protection of a highly water-resistant jacket.
If you'd like to discuss the best jacket for your riding style and conditions, please give me a call
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
On a recent bike tour (TOSRV) in Ohio, we were pelted by a 4-inch rain storm, so intense it was a couple of hours before I could see straight. However, it gave me a real-world test, rather than some findings somewhere in a lab. As a result, I never got a drop of water on the inside, nor was my backside ever exposed. With my Capo rain boot covers, I was well prepared for these elements for the first time in 30-years! Expensive? Yes, but worth every penny!
At 6?4? and 180 pounds, the XL was perfect!
Awesome jacket and windproof too
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've had my Castelli Pocket Liner Jacket for a couple of weeks now, and I'm thrilled with it. The waterproofing really is as good as everyone says. While it's not perfect - I got caught in a surprise hard storm yesterday and I did get somewhat wet through the jacket - I've stayed dry through rain that would have soaked me in my Gore Phantom soft shell.
One key feature that not too many other people are talking about is its windproofing. I think its windproofing may be better than its waterproofing. I've ridden in mid-40s (Fahrenheit) with just a short-sleeve jersey on under the Pocket Liner Jacket and I've been completely comfortable. This is a fantastic solution for bike commuting in the Pacific Northwest: wear your jacket over your jersey for your 45 degree ride in; fold up your jacket and stuff it in your jersey for your 85 degree ride home; or wear it both ways if it's raining.
As a quick note on sizing, the Pocket Liner Jacket runs very large (for Castelli anyway). For reference, I usually wear Large in Gore, which translates to XXL in Castelli. However, I got my Pocket Liner Jacket in XL and it's slightly big, definitely not a "race fit". This is not criticism, just something to be aware of. I do wish the rain flap in the back were a little longer, but this is a very minor criticism.
Again, it's a great jacket and a great purchase. Highly recommended!
Not sure what to expect
You read the reviews but until you actually try this jacket, you won't believe it. It seems all the product descriptions these days talk about breathability at the same time as being waterproof. Just rode two hours in a steady downpour today and this thing kept me dry and I never felt overheated once. I was wearing a long sleeve Craft base layer and a long sleeve Capo jersey so I was a bit worried I had too much on in the 40 degree weather once I started climbing but I was perfect. Now, if I can only wear an entire bodysuit out of this material to stay dry, that would be ideal!

Dead until Dark is the first novel in the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. It is a serial killer mystery and an unconventional romance complete with humans, vampires and other intriguing supernatural creatures. The story is set in the fictional town of Bon Temps, Louisiana. Vampires are attempting to coexist with humans because they can survive on newly invented artificial blood. The story is narrated by Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress with the ability to read minds, and begins with the murder of her co-worker Maudette Pickens. Sookie attempts to help solve a subsequent series of murders for which her brother, Jason Stackhouse is a prime suspect. At the same time, Sookie begins a socially unacceptable relationship with a handsome, 173 year old vampire, Bill Compton.
If you, like me, are a fan of the HBO television series True Blood, you will likely enjoy this book. It closely follows the plot of season one but not exactly. The book contains an interesting vampire character "Bubba" that is not included in the TV series and some characters from television are not in the book. Even though I knew the identity of the murderer, it kept me engaged and was a light, fun, end-of-summer read.

State missed a chance to improve two schools
We're all aware of the dysfunction of the Buffalo School Board and its inability to lead our schools. Now it seems that the State Education Department is setting a new example for dysfunction.
The state missed its biggest opportunity yet to help the children in Buffalo by not recommending the approval of charter applications for East High School and Waterfront School. Federal law allows for the turnaround of a failing public school by closing it and restarting it as a public charter school. The state proved its lack of understanding of the law by not developing a clear process for approval of charter restarts. How does one hand not know what the other is doing? It is typical bureaucratic dysfunction at its worst.
Additionally, the group proposing the applications has broad expertise with successful school operations. This includes Tapestry Charter School, which is listed on the State Education Department's website as one of the top charter schools in the state for successful practices.
With 44 of 57 schools in failing status, affecting 26,000 of the 32,000 students in the district, this decision should have been a no-brainer. How many more generations of children are we willing to throw away before the adults figure it out? The only way around the toxic relationship between the unions and the district is to close failing schools and restart them as public charter schools. By doing so, resources go directly to the school and to the programs that benefit kids most.
Does the community realize that half of our city tax dollars go to support this broken system? The state has a responsibility to this community by making good on its promise to close failing schools. Time to wake up, speak up and do what is right for kids.

Vanek has been the NHL's best player through the first two-plus weeks. If a vote were taken today, he'd run away with the Hart Trophy. He's leading the NHL in scoring with 19 points. He has two five-point nights already, a first since the magical days of Pat LaFontaine and Alex Mogilny in the Aud.
He had one goal and set up two others against the Panthers on Sunday afternoon, giving him a point in every game he has played this season. He had the only goal in the embarrassing loss in Montreal. He dominated the Bruins with a hat trick and two assists, which left Bruins fans wondering why Boston can't get more players like him.
Rather ironic, wouldn't you say?
Vanek can do no wrong these days, but frightening for Buffalo is that it still hasn't translated into enough victories for anyone to believe the Sabres are going anywhere this season.
The latest debacle was a 4-3 loss to Florida after which Vanek was named the first star. He appeared on the verge of a breakdown afterward.
"It adds up to a losing record," Vanek said. "Obviously, I gotta do more, too."
And that's the problem. They can't ask for any more from Vanek, whose latest Who Else? moment came when he unloaded a bazooka after Jason Pominville's pretty feed between his legs for an early lead. You couldn't blame Jose Theodore for barely moving in the Florida net. How could he react to what he didn't see?
Later in the first period, Vanek stole the puck from defenseman Mike Weaver, made old friend Brian Campbell look foolish and fed Cody Hodgson for a tap-in. He left a soft, flat pass for Alex Sulzer in the second period that allowed the defenseman to tee up a slapper from inside the blue line to give Buffalo a 3-1 advantage.
And it wasn't enough.
Vanek is carrying this team, obviously, but Vanek is not God, as some would argue at the foot of Jim Kelley Way. The law of averages is bound to catch up to him at some point when the lift becomes too heavy. He's playing Hart Trophy hockey for a team that has shown little interest in joining him for a playoff run.
"He's playing all world right now, and that's doing nothing but helping us," winger Drew Stafford said. "It's just unfortunate that guys like myself aren't finding the back of the net."
Vanek's stick will eventually cool. He had a terrific start last season before disappearing with one goal in January. He had four goals in a 31-game stretch over 10-plus weeks, leading Sabres fans to file bogus charges of first-degree laziness and beg for him to be traded. His problem rarely has been effort.
The Sabres' top line has scored 18 of their 27 goals. Vanek was involved in 19 of them. Let's agree that he can't keep up the torrid pace. Opponents will make adjustments. Vanek will have an off night, a bad week, a prolonged slump. And then what?
The Sabres are getting almost zero production from their other three lines. Stafford and Jochen Hecht haven't scored all season. They switched lines Sunday, with Hecht incomprehensibly getting bumped to the second line and producing his eighth 0-0-0 in nine games.
Newcomer Steve Ott has been quiet since the opener. Marcus Foligno, who played so well with Stafford and Tyler Ennis at the end of the last season, has one goal. Ennis has scored twice, one thanks to a feed from Vanek. Rookie Mikail Grigorenko has scored one goal while trying to get his skates under him.
An optimist would suggest the rest of the Sabres will come around. For now, Buffalo is little more than a one-line team. The Sabres showed their true potential in Boston but failed to carry the same spunk into Montreal. They looked good for a while Sunday before falling apart.
Buffalo had numerous chances to bury Florida as it did Boston but allowed the Panthers to hang around in a 3-2 game, or one-shot from a tie game and two shots from the Sabres donating another two points. Sure enough, Peter Mueller scored late in the second period, and Campbell slipped off the blue line and beat his former team in the third.
What's more mystifying than Buffalo's 3-5-1 record is Vanek's ice time. This is real simple: He's their top forward, so he should be on the ice more than anyone else. I was bracing for Chan Gailey to emerge from the Sabres' dressing room and say Vanek was tired from all that production in the first two periods.
Lindy Ruff has argued that Vanek doesn't kill penalties, which is true. Vanek has been on the ice for all of 2:38 with the Sabres a man down. Nearly half came late in the game Sunday with the Sabres trailing by a goal. It doesn't explain why Hecht played three more minutes at even strength and Foligno nearly four more minutes than Vanek did.
Vanek is playing his eighth season under Ruff. You would think he has learned enough about defense to play in all situations. Wayne Gretzky was never known for his defense, either, but he scored 73 short-handed goals in his career.
And while Vanek is not Gretzky and today's NHL is much different than in the high-flying 1980s, the point remains the same. Vanek entered the game Sunday ranked 58th among NHL forwards in ice time with 19 minutes, 13 seconds. If he's not killing penalties, he should have enough energy to take a few extra shifts per period.
Great players can help any way they can. The idea is getting them on the ice as much as possible. The more TOI, the better Buffalo's chance of winning.
It's simple math.

WELLSVILLE - The Blue Devils can call themselves repeat champions.
Western Reserve held the lead from beginning to end on Friday against Wellsville to claim its second straight ITCL Tier 2 title 41-7 at Nicholson Stadium.
The Blue Devils (7-2) have won seven-straight games and will finish the season against Columbiana next week. Western Reserve has now won three lower tier titles and put together an impressive 41-7 mark in league play.
"The kids and coaches have been working hard," Western Reserve coach Andy Hake said. "The kids come from good families and have good values. A lot of people kind of counted us out after the first two games. We'll still take care of business next week, but it feels good to win the league. The kids have been resilient."
Western Reserve ran 51 offensive plays in the first half for nearly 300 yards and never looked back. Wellsville, on the other hand, couldn't maintain drives or find consistency on either side of the ball.
The loss drops the Tigers to 3-6 on the season, and they will finish their season next week at Leetonia.
The Blue Devils started the game with one of their typical drives - nine plays, 60 yards and a score. Junior Dan Zilke - who finished with a game-high 93 rushing yards - broke the first of two big runs in the first half, this one 28 yards to put Western Reserve up, 7-0 with 10:45 left in the opening frame.
After a Wellsville drive stalled near midfield, the Blue Devils took control again.
This time it was a 13-play, 57-yard drive that spanned four minutes and ended with another score. Junior quarterback Nick Allison would hook up with junior Danny Rosati to put Western Reserve ahead, 14-0, with 4:35 left in the first quarter.
Midway through the second quarter, Zilke would break another big run, this time 43 yards up the middle to give the Blue Devils a comfortable 21-0 advantage with 7:21 left to play in the first half.
A five-yard strike from Allison to junior Jon Timko with 4:57 left in the second frame gave Western Reserve a 28-0 lead at the break.
The Tigers first three possessions of the second half all ended in turnovers. The first two were Jordan Sloan interceptions, by Coleman Smith and Tim Cooper. The third was a Sloan fumble recovered by Tim O'Connell.
The Blue Devils made the Tigers pay for the second and third turnover. Cooper cashed in the first when he found paydirt from three yards out for a 35-0 lead with 4:22 left in the third quarter.
Then Allison hit junior Andrew Miller from 10 yards out with 34 seconds in the third to put the score at 41-0.
The lone bright spot for Wellsville was a 32-yard touchdown run by Marcus Moxley with 5:47 left to play.
"They've got a good coach," Hake said of Wellsville. "Their numbers are down and they're struggling a little bit because of lack of bodies, but there's no lack of effort."
Moxley led Wellsville with 57 yards rushing on nine carries, while Brendon Carr finished with 48 yards on nine attempts. Sloan was 3-of-14 for 12 yards with two interceptions.
For Western Reserve, after Zilke's 93-yard performance, was Alex Dahler with 51 yards on five attempts. Allison finished 15-of-38 for 154 yards and three touchdowns. Cooper led the receiving corps with four catches for 41 yards.
Western Reserve committed only two penalties for 15 yards in the game.
Western Reserve (7-2, 6-0 ITCL Tier 2) plays Friday at Columbiana.

Gun owners challenging New York State's new gun-control law are asking a Buffalo judge to stop the state from enforcing the measure.
In a motion filed this week, the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, the state affiliate of the National Rifle Association, asked U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny to approve an injunction against the SAFE Act.
The group, which filed suit against the state last month, claims the new law violates the Second Amendment's right to bear arms.
The new law, adopted after the shootings in Newtown, Conn., adopts stricter prohibitions against assault-style weapons, increases registration requirements and requires mental health professionals to report the names of clients they deem to be a threat to themselves or others.

Fate of Parkland Hospital's interim chief, patient-safety issues under review in yet another meeting closed to the public
In keeping with its recent practice, Parkland Memorial Hospital's board of managers is meeting behind closed doors this afternoon to tackle a long list of issues, mostly flowing from the federally ordered plan to make the public facility safe for patients.
The meeting, according to the agenda posted on Parkland's website, will cover everything from improving oversight of resident doctors from UT Southwestern Medical Center who train at Parkland to "personnel matters involving executive leadership." The latter item deals with the fate of interim chief executive officer Dr. Thomas Royer, whose contract ends this month.
Royer was hired under a six-month agreement last November to help guide the hospital through its patient-safety crisis after Parkland flunked a series of inspections, was forced into a rare form of federal oversight and ousted its longtime CEO, Dr. Ron Anderson.
Royer's tenure has been marred by controversial moves. In an interview with me shortly after taking the job, he pledged transparency but later sought to keep information from the public, including two critical reports by federally installed safety monitors that disclosed life-threatening dangers to patients and set forth a massive reorganization plan to protect them. We obtained the reports and published them on our website.

The Northern Colorado Empty Stocking Fund kicks off its holiday campaign this week to support eight regional health and human service agencies in Weld and Larimer counties.
Each year, media outlets from across northern Colorado help to raise awareness for the campaign by publishing and airing stories about the impact on each recipient nonprofit organization. Last year, the campaign raised $90,514 with more than 325 individual donors and 25 corporate partners participating.
El Pomar Foundation's North Regional Council created the Northern Colorado Empty Stocking Fund to raise money to provide resources for local human service agencies dedicated to helping community members struggling to meet basic needs and assisting others on the verge of achieving self-sufficiency and self-reliance. El Pomar is one of the oldest foundations in the Rocky Mountain West. It partnered with the United Ways of Larimer and Weld counties to cover all administrative costs for the campaign, meaning that every dollar donated goes directly to the recipient organizations.
For every $3 donated to the fund, El Pomar also provides a $1 match.
The four Weld County agencies that will receive funding from the drive are Catholic Charities of Weld County; Connections for Independent Living; the Weld Food Bank; and the Greeley Transitional House.
Since its inception in 2007, the Northern Colorado Empty Stocking Fund has raised more than $423,500.
Jeannine Truswell, president and CEO of the United Way of Weld County, said, "Through the generosity of the El Pomar Foundation, funds raised through the Northern Colorado Empty Stocking Fund go further through a dollar match for every $3 raised." She added, "It not only raises a significant amount of funds for agencies but it also raises awareness of those agencies, as well as the issues in our communities — such as high school dropout rates, financially unstable families, and reliance on emergency services — all of which United Way of Weld County is focused on changing."
The following recipient agencies received funds from the 2011 campaign: Catholic Charities of Larimer County, $13,577; Catholic Charities of Weld County, $13,577; Connections for Independent Living, $9,051; Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park, $9,051; Food Bank for Larimer County, $13,577; Greeley Transitional House, $9,051; House of Neighborly Service, $9,051; and Weld Food Bank, $13,577.
"The funds raised through the Northern Colorado Empty Stocking Fund effort provide the agencies with much-needed resources at a time when the need in the community is the greatest. United Way holds the funds and ensures that all of the funds — 100 percent — go to the agencies at the end of the campaign," said Gordan Thibedeau, executive director of the United Way of Larimer County.
Randy Bangert, editor of The Tribune, said the media's collaboration is one of the unusual aspects of the Empty Stocking Fund.
"There are close to a dozen media outlets — daily newspapers, weekly newspapers and radio stations — in northern Colorado that work together to help bring exposure to the funding drive," Bangert said. "Traditionally, we have been competitors for news and feature stories in northern Colorado. But with this effort, we gladly work together to help raise some much-needed funding for agencies that serve the underprivileged in our two-county region."
North Regional Council members of the El Pomar Foundation include Randy Bangert, Tribune editor; Cecil Gutierrez, mayor, city of Loveland; Bob Tointon, president, Phelps-Tointon, Inc. of Greeley; Dr. Ginny Kinnick, professor emeritus of nursing, University of Northern Colorado; Nancy Richardson, president, Ottercares Foundation; Gordon Thibedeau, executive director, United Way of Larimer County, and Kathay Rennels, assistant vice president of Community and Economic Development, Colorado State University.

The Send Off Party for TOUR TO ENABLE will be held on Wednesday Aug. 27 at Liberty Taproom in Mount Pleasant. Great drink specials, a chance to meet the riders before their journey and donate to their cause. The TOUR TO ENABLE is three Charleston area men who are departing Charleston on Aug. 28 for a 3 week, 5,500 mile motorcycle ride to raise $15,000 for the purchase of an All-Terrain wheelchair for The Independence Fund (Indy Fund) – an organization that provides tools and therapies to injured Veterans. Tour to Enable will leave Charleston at 1 p.m. the following day, August 28.
Lucas Cobb, Kevin Duckworth and Ben German work together building websites, one client was the Independence Fund, Inc. Upon learning about the great work the Independence Fund does in helping restore injured Veterans' mobility and quality of life; they just knew they had to help. Raising funds for tan All-Terrain chair to enable a veteran with severe injuries to have the accessibility to a normal life and activities like going to the beach, hunting, and fishing. Whatever they were going to do to raise funds had to be impactful and pay tribute to freedom, independence and mobility. So why not get on motorcycles and ride to Las Vegas and back?
The Challenge is to ride 5,500 miles roundtrip - Charleston to Las Vegas in 3 weeks and raise $15,000. Besides the distance being a challenge, only Kevin is a seasoned motorcycle rider. Ben and Lucas have only been riding since March! Sponsors include Low Country Harley Davidson and Cycle Gear of North Charleston.
"We are thrilled by the innovative way the American people continue to serve our wounded heroes. Every community fundraiser shows our severely injured veterans that they are not forgotten, and that our nation not only owes them a great debt, but that there are people out here ensuring we give back to those that have given the most", said Independence Fund Founder/President, Steve "Luker" Danyluk. The Indy Fund is the producer of the Lt. Dan Band weekend which begins as the Tour to Enable Riders return to Charleston on Sept. 19.
The route is posted on the Tour to Enable website (www.tourtoenable.com) so supporters can follow the map and also keep up with their Twitter posts throughout the journey (@tourtoenable).
They are hoping for local media to chronicle their journey through phone interviews or Skype.
Based in Miami, Florida; The Independence Fund has a 100% volunteer staff and a Board of Directors comprised entirely of combat Veterans. www.independencefund.org
