Our flight path took us over miles after mile of Amazon jungle. The vastness of the place was immediately apparent with Iquitos a small dot from the planes vantage point. Once on land we walked from the plane towards the small terminal, across the tarmac enjoying views of two abandoned planes. One of which was propped up by a small hut, toward the rear end of the plane. For a second time we were greeted by a guide with a sign but this time my name was also so on the list. After a quick spelling correction ELI SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ABETH and photo opp we bundled ourselves and belongings into a mini van and introduced ourselves to the other travelers
Awoken at intermittent intervals through the night by a torrential down pours and impressive thunder storms, we were collected from our hotel at 10am. Much to-ing and fro-ing to cash machines and places to purchase rubber boots delayed the official departure but we were soon back in the mini van and off to the port. (Ben, the Quality Assurance man from Melbourne had also joined the group).
The port (if that is in fact what it was) consisted of an out flow pipe, scraggy kids, street vendors and a few mangy old boats. One of which wore the name Muyana Lodge in flaking white paint. Clambering onboard and settling in for what was to be a 3hr journey, we were pleasantly surprised by the little boats speed. Stopping every so often to remove or secure the waterproof covering whenever the rains returned. With one complete disembarkment when the river became too shallow for all passenger and our bags (6 passengers, 3 crew). On this occasion we gingerly jumped from said boat into mud and scrambled up the embankment, through a rice field, amongst a crop of runner beans and past a small village, back to the river and returned to the boat. It's worth noting at this point that our lodge was not located on the Amazon River itself but an artery that created a narrow stretch of water with good access to different wild life
When we arrived at our lodge and home for the next 5 nights, we were met by our guide Moises. A man's man, who explained to Cam how things worked at the lodge and completely ignored yours truly. In terms of the lodge itself, things were as we expected. Furnished with the basics but not skimping on comfort. Hammocks dotted about the communal areas and outside each individual cabin,. The cabins themselves were raised on stilts to protect the lodge during the wet session. The bedrooms were window less in the sense that there was no glass in them but were instead protected with fly screen. A separate bathroom had sink, toilet and shower (cold water only. In the absence of electricity, we were provided with two kerosene lanterns, in the evenings.
After an impressive late lunch, (the food heading down hill as the week progressed) we headed out for our first exploration of the jungle around our lodge. To say there were a few mozies would be an understatement. A small army accompanied us along the path as Cam and I smacked ourselves in the head, arms and legs. Moises our guide used his machete to swat those around his own ears; with Ben (Mr QA) keeping a safe distance just in case Moises lost his grip
After a rewarding beer for our first days efforts (local beer in Iquitos is the best we have had so far), we went to bed listening to the sounds of the very noisy jungle.
For Day 2 we had accepted Moise�s challenge of a long walk. After Machu Piccu we felt we were up for anything. Besides, we were promised uncharted jungle and possible monkey sightings. Seven hours later, without a single monkey spotted, we returned to the lodge very warm, very tired and with a few additional mozie bites. Of course, that's just the way of the jungle. It had still been nice to explore the jungle and very amusing to watch Moises hack his way through the foliage, with Ben keeping a safe distance behind.... just in case something jumped out or the machete slipped from Mosies grip.
Day 3�s highlight had to be the fishing. My first official attempted at catching fish. Cam and I were both successful and caught a number of piranhas and a small pike. Moises kindly cleaned and gutted our catch and the cook served them up for our evening meal, along with pork, potatoes and of course rice
Earlier in the day we had accompanied our German friends to meet the local Sharman (witch doctor would be the easiest explanation). They had decided to try Agha Waski (no idea how to spell it) which is similar to San Pedro. From my understanding both are names given to cactus which the native people of Peru use for medicinal and spiritual purposes. These cactus are made into drinks through a very lengthy process which when drunk have a similar effect to a person as magic mushrooms although, due to their toxic nature also serve to purge the body of anything in the stomach.
Before consuming the drink you must fast for a day. After consuming the drink you are usually sick and as the drink passes through your system your body reacts by taking you to a higher state of consciousness. The Sharman kindly talked us through this process and included an explanation that he would place a string of beads around a persons neck while he/she drank the potion to protect the person from bad spirits (read as, protect them from having a bad trip). He would also chant and ask the participant to smoke from a pipe. I think this was to occur between the throwing up and the hallucinations. All of this would take place in a darkened room, in the middle of the night
Day 4 we swam in the Amazon and saw pink dolphins both a very surreal experience. The water is actually warm and the dolphins really are pink. In the evening I was struck down with a mystery illness which saw me wrapped up in bed with 3 blankets and a wooly hat on despite the fact it was 27 degrees outside. A very odd experience and hopefully unrelated to the Amazon River or the dolphins.
Day 5 a little jaded from the illness we set off to camp in the jungle. Taking a boat and trekking for 2 hours we arrived at a beautiful lake. Fishing for our supper (some more successful than others) we felt completely secluded from the outside world and very much in the depths of the jungle. Monkeys, birds, fish and plants of kinds we had never seen, replaced by other species when the night fell. Moises caught a Cayman (similar to a crocodile) during our night boat trip and we slept in our tent listening to the weird and wonderful sounds of the jungle outside, hoping a jaguar wouldn't visit us in the night.
Awaking early on our last night we hot footed back to the camp in time for a quick shower and a spot of lunch before taking the 3 hour boat trip back to Iquitos.
More to follow.....


text: It had ups and downs. When they jumped 15 years ahead, I thought, "Why does JJ. Abrams and Roberto Orci always play with time travel?" I was very disappointed the way they handled the "first people" revelation. For being as important as it was, it basically took a back seat to the story... and it was the story. What a cliffhanger they left though!

Shares of BlackBerry (BBRY) closed down $4.02, or almost 28%, at $10.46, deepening its losses at the close of the session, after the company this morning missed consensus estimates for the fiscal Q1 ended last month, despite what had come to be seen as a likely beat by even the bears. The company forecast a net operating loss this quarter versus consensus for 11 cents, but declined to provide a forecast beyond that.
The stock got two downgrades today, that I can see, from Macquarie Equities Research and Wells Fargo.
Sales of smartphones totaled 6.8 million came in below estimates of 7 million or higher (Thomson Reuters had 7.6 million as consensus), and, more dispiritingly, sales of the newer BB10-based smartphones, the Q10 and Z10, came in at 40% of the total, or 2.7 million, below estimates for 3 million or more.
Subscribers to the company's secure messaging service declined by 4%, to 72 million from 76 million last quarter.
CEO Thorsten Heins remarked that "We are still in the early stages of this launch, but already, the BlackBerry 10 platform and BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 are proving themselves to customers to be very secure, flexible and dynamic mobile computing solutions."
Over the next three quarters, we will be increasing our investments to support the roll out of new products and services, and to demonstrate that BlackBerry has established itself as a leading and vibrant player in next generation mobile computing solutions for both consumer and enterprise customers.
On the conference call following the report, the company said it would no longer provide subscriber numbers going forward:
With our transition to BlackBerry 10, our historical subscriber reference does not share the same service revenue dynamic as previous BlackBerry devices. Starting with Q2, we will not be providing this non-financial metric. As new service revenue is generated, we will look to provide additional information associated with these services and any other relevant details around service revenue trends.
The company said sell-through of all handsets was 6.8 million, the same as shipments, but management declined to provide sell-through for BB10 handsets when asked.
Jefferies & Co.'s Peter Misek, who has a Buy rating on the shares, and a $22 price target, and RBC Capital's Mark Sue, who has a Sector Perform rating and an $18 price target, were both on CNBC this morning debating the outlook.
Misek, who had written on June 20th the company could blow away estimates, perhaps reporting $4.1 billion and 50 cents profit, remarked that "Our thesis was always on the mobile device management [MDM] market, the high end of the smartphone market is fully saturated."
"They'v got to get the MDM market."
Sue, who had been modeling $3.5 billion and a 9-cent profit, on sales of 3 million BB10 units, remarked that "Our view is the [smartphone] market is still growing, still healthy from a unit perspective; the numbers should have been better given they are selling to 300 carriers around the world." With tangible book value declining, Sue believes the shares have a trading range of $8.50 to $15.
The shares have received one downgrade so far this morning, from Macquarie's Kevin Smithen, who cut his rating to Underperform from Neutral, and cut his price target to $9 based on his sum-of-the-parts analysis.
Smithen writes that BlackBerry's comeback is "looking more like Palm," the one-time mobile device king that staged a comeback in 2009 only to get bought out by Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) in 2011 and then shuttered.
The results came in below the $4.14 billion and 9 cents profit Smithen had projected. He had been modeling 8 million smarpthones in total.
"At this point, the positive optionality on the BB10 launch has subsided," writes Smithen. He cut his EPS view this fiscal year to a loss of 23 cents from a profit of 38 cents, and cut his 2015 view to a loss of 35 cents from a prior 8-cent profit estimate.
"We are sceptical on BES opportunity, therefore we think the likely end game for BBRY is a break-up or liquidation at a lower price."
Smithen's back-of-the-envelope on BlackBerry stock is based on total revenue of $11.26 billion, or $6.12 per share at a 0.3 times multiple. The balance sheet items, $2 billion in cash at year's end, $750 million in patent value on its share of the Nortel portfolio, and $825 million for the rest of its patent portfolio, add up to $6.89 per share.
However, Smithen doesn't count the patents as part of a buyout value. His reasoning, as explained to me in an email reply to my inquiry was as follows: "We don't include the value of the patents in our equity value calculation because they are needed to run the services business. It's likely impossible to separate the ip from the services business cash flow stream."
And Wells Fargo's Maynard Um cut his rating to Market Perform from Outperform, and cut his "valaution range" from a prior $19 – $20 to $10.50 to $12.
It's hard to short the stock, given borrowing is tough with the existing high short interest, and he's not counting out an eventual turnaround in the handset division. But that turnaround is now further out in time, in his view, and not worth buying into at the moment:
Our downgrade does not necessarily reflect a view that BBRY will not be able to succeed (while we still believe it can upgrade its existing installed base, admittedly visibility is limited), but, rather, that success may be further out than we would like and that the benefits may be costly upfront as the company invests heavily. However, at 0.2x EV/sales, we believe investors are already handicapping limited/no success and believe valuations at these levels are risky to be short as these levels have, based on our past experience with other tech companies, typically prompted some action. However, we do not believe valuation alone is a strong enough rationale to be long BBRY at this point in time. We expect BBRY shares to experience significant volatility quarter to quarter with downside risk around continued slow sell-in/uptake of BlackBerry devices and further degradation of services revenue and upside risk around the reversal of service revenue in Venezuela (not embedded into forecasts) as well as lower operating expense. We are most disappointed by the slower-than-expected ramp relative to our expectation and relative to high marketing spend and note that while management highlights it has only been 5 months into the BB10 product cycle, we note that the industry has been seeing a short 12-month product cycle between smartphones over the past several years.
Um cut his estimate for this year to a net loss of 46 cents from a prior estimate for a 32-cent profit, while maintaining a $12.97 billion revenue estimate.
Update: Misek has since cut his price target to $18 from $22.

I dont think a real chili is even suposed to have onions in it?
I dont think a real chili is even suposed to have onions in it?
Here in New Mexico, chili does not have meat OR beans. It has fiery roasted Hatch Valley chilis, broth of the cooks choice and that is it! You can get red, green or Christmas. If you want meat or vegetables then you order green chili stew. Each chef offers a different combo of pork, chicken, posole and potatoes. This is Chili!

In Search Of...Salon Inspired
Local Hairdresser overcomes obstacles to follow her dream
Cindi Sandvick has spent the last 24 years of her life cutting and styling hair. "I love it. I just love doing hair and talking with people and just like making everyone look good."
In fact it almost seems like Cindi was destined for the hair-do biz. "Ever since I've been a kid, I've loved messing with hair and braiding hair. Anything like that."
And that is how this mother of two has spent her days. Living out her childhood dream -cutting hair. That is until that dream was nearly cut short. "It was May 16th, 2009."
Two years ago Cindi was riding on the back of her husband David's motorcycle, taking part in a ride to raise money for a charity. "Kind of a windy, overcast day. Wasn't really a good day for riding but it was a benefit and a bunch of friends got together so we were going to do this."
Just outside Genoa - their motorcycle hit a patch of gravel and both went down.
Cindi doesn't remember a thing and David wishes he didn't. "Do you have memories of it? Oh yeah. Hard to talk about? I just really don't want to talk about it. Don't want to bring it back up."
The accident left Cindi with a broken back - paralyzed from the chest down. She spent 9 weeks in the hospital. And was told she would likely never walk again. But Cindi had a different plan. "I was actually excited to come home. I don't think it really hit me that I wasn't going to walk or that I won't walk again. Because I truly believe I will walk again. "3982476
Cindi has wasted no time wallowing in self pity. Everyday with David by her side - she pushes herself with exercises and therapy - to hopefully get her legs moving again. "This is where I get a lot of sensation in my legs."
"I don't think people realize there's a lot towards your whole life when you don't have your legs anymore. Just life in general. Not being able to get up for a cup of coffee or going to the bathroom or in the shower, Or just to go outside. Who's going to shut the door behind you? Transfering to the couch. It's definitely a change in life."
But sometimes change is a good thing. After the accident - Cindi met a man in a similar situation who told her she was an inspiration. And that inspired an idea. She left the salon she'd been working at. and took a risk. This last August, with the help of family and friends, Cindi opened the doors to her very own business, appropriatly named - Salon Inspired. "It makes me feel really, really good. This is the best thing I have ever done and it's really helped me along with eveything."
"It's lovely. It's a beautiful place. It's relaxing...you just let her do her work."
Armed with a harness and a specially designed chair, Cindi is able to continue doing what she loves. "They shouldn't be scared of me because I'm as good as I was before - I'm just not standing. That's it. I'm the same person."
"She hasn't let anything stop her. She still is the same person. She hasn't changed because she can't walk. She's still the same person inside and out."
She has come so far in the last two years but for her, it's not nearly far enough. "You just pray every night that there will be a miracle for me and I'll be able to walk around my clients again. My husband says 'it just takes time.' So that's what I need - time."
Cindi is holding an open house at Salon Inspired on Thursday, December first from 4-8 pm. The salon is located on George Street in La Crosse.

I know many of you like Smallville, and some of you liked Birds of Prey while it lasted. But the following sounds like complete crap. The classic 1990's CBS TV-Series sounds better then this pile of dung. How can Marvel's characters get so many decent adaptions in films and cartoons, but everything DC turns into a joke. Without the classic scarlet speedster costume, this sounds like a lame "Quantum Leap" rip-off. What's next, "Touched by a Wonder Woman".
MTFBWY and HH!!The WB has ordered a pilot for a new series based on DC Comics' fastest man alive," according to this Friday morning Variety story by Josef Adalian.
Todd Komarnicki, one of the many producers on the Will Ferrell Elf movie due in November, will script the "Flash" pilot.
Unlike the 1990 CBS version, the new Flash will feature a speedster who never dons the comic-book characters skintight scarlet running suit.
Like the comics current Flash, Wally West, the new TV Flash will learn that he is only the latest in a long line of Flashes.
According to the Variety piece, the Flash will each week be sent on a time-travel mission to the past or the future. (The comic-book Flash can travel through time too with the help of a handy "cosmic treadmill" but he doesnt do it in every issue!)
If the series goes forward, it'll likely debut about a year from now.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
I decided to order one of these online yesterday. Not only is it $70 off, but you also get free shipping to boot. I think thats about as good as its going to get on this.
I'm really glad I got this from Kohl's the first year it was released. Total price with shipping and tax was around $95.
I saw a big pile of these today at TRU while making a Toys for Tots donation, and didn't realize the last $10 of this savings were a special gig. As faithful as the classic box is, it sure does stand out as looking old-fashioned compared to smaller stuff like the figures, and I wonder if that'll affect sales.

Stocks continued their mixed momentum this morning, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 falling 0.2% and 0.1%, respectively at recent check. The Nasdaq was up 0.1%.
The picture isn't that different from pre-market trading, when stocks were little moved but with an eye to the Federal Reserve on a day with no new economic data.
Darden Restaurants (DRI) was falling even harder after the open, down more than 5% to new session lows, while Tesla (TSLA) was again charging ahead, setting a new all-time high of $185.83 before pulling back slightly. Rite Aid (RAD) was building on Thursday's strength, up 2.6% at recent check and once again at six-year highs.
Two IPOS, FireEye (FEYE) and Rocket Fuel (FUEL), both of which priced above expectations, are also set to start trading today.

How does Santa deliver so many presents in just one night? All of jolly old Saint Nick's secrets will be revealed in the Aardman Animations and Sony Pictures Animation film Arthur Christmas, in theaters November 23. These days, Santa has traded in his reindeer and sleigh for a more modern, high-tech aircraft. Supporting Santa on his Christmas Eve mission is his eldest son, Steve, and a team of quick-footed elves. But when one gift is accidentally left behind, Santa's youngest son, Arthur—who works in the "Letters to Santa" department—must save the day the old-fashioned way.
TFK spoke to British director Sarah Smith about the movie, which is also playing in 3-D. Read on to find out which character she relates most to, and why so much math—yes, math—was involved in the making of the film.
Where did the idea for Arthur Christmas come from?
I had rung up my friend Pete Baynham, and he said to me, "I just had one of the best ideas I've ever had." He started to think about what it would take for Santa to do Christmas in one night, and came up with this idea that Santa had this huge, military-style operation. He also had the idea that there was a younger son of Santa, and that something went wrong and he had to make it right. It started as a basic idea, but I knew when I heard it that was fantastic. It was one of those ideas where you think, "Why has no one done this before?"
The film was originally pitched as a live-action film. Why the switch to animation?
Pete had it in mind that it could be a live-action. But when you're dealing with a great icon like Santa, if you cast a famous actor in the part, it almost makes it harder to believe in that world. One of the joyful things about animation is that it acts as part of your imagination. It enables you to believe in this parallel universe.
We hear a lot of math went into writing this screenplay. Can you explain?
I'm a big stickler. I feel like you really need to do your homework to make a film properly believable. We read a bunch of books and did research about the math and physics that would relate to Santa's operation. We started by asking: How many people are there in the world? How many people celebrate Christmas? What's the average number of children per household? So I worked out the math for how many children Santa is trying to deliver to and how far he would have to travel around the world to do it. Obviously, you have to make some creative leaps along the way. But we based it all on real numbers. We ended up with this figure that Santa would need the help of one million elves. The one million elves would be split in 333,000 teams of three. Each team would have 18.5 seconds per household on average in order for Santa to deliver all of the presents around the world!
All of the characters have their own wacky personalities. Are any based on people you know?
Yes, all of them. All believable characters are based on yourself as a writer and the people you know and love. You have to draw from truthful things. Grandsanta is based on my grandmother, really. She was fantastic fun to be with when I was a kid, and she drove my parents crazy. She liked to tell some slightly tall tales about her life.
Which character is the most like you?
I think I'm in a little bit of all of them. It's very important that you can get inside the skin of every character you write. You have to identify with all of them. Santa was like my mum and dad. I love Mrs. Santa. She doesn't have a grand role in running everything, and yet, she's one step ahead of all the men and manages to organize them eventually. Both Pete and I really relate to Arthur. I love him as an enthusiast. I love passion in people. That's Arthur's best quality really. And he's so imaginative and a terrible worrier, which is also like the both of us.
This is your first time directing an animated feature film. What prompted you to jump into the director's chair for this one?
I've directed live action before, and I have to say, I went to Aardman strictly for six months. When Arthur Christmas came along, Pete and I started developing it together. It became our baby, really. I've never been one to develop something and hand it away. So, I said, I want to direct this. When you invest so much in creating the world, it's almost impossible to give it to someone else.
You became a mother during this process, too.
I did. I became a mother to the movie and an actual mother for the first time to a little one who was born in the middle of production. It's been quite a ride!
When you tell your daughter the story of Santa, will you tell her traditional story of Santa, or will you throw in elements of Arthur Christmas too?
That is a genius question. I don't know. She's only 2, so she's just getting the idea of Santa. Her first word was "Apple," and her second word was "Arthur." Her entire upbringing has been around Arthur Christmas. She's very aware of it. I'll probably start by telling her the traditional Santa story. In a year or so, she'll be old enough to see the film. Then I'll let her decide which version she wants to believe.
If you were Santa and running the operation, would you prefer to do it the high-tech way or the old-fashioned way?
We really didn't want to say one is better than the other in the movie. Of course, the old sleigh has a glorious romance to it, but also, the modern way is fantastically exciting and cool. I want kids to look at their houses, and ask, "How will the elves get into my house? How will they get through the door?" Both versions have their own kind of appeal. I hope children will choose the version that is most exciting for them imaginatively. For me, if I were Santa, I think I'd quite like the big way!
What's the best gift you've ever received from Santa?
Goodness me. I'm totally stumped . . . I think I did have a bicycle, rather like the one that was left behind in the movie. There was a note from Santa saying that my gift was outside. That was exciting.

No injuries in Ariz. Social Security office blast
Casa Grande Fire Marshal says the explosion was reported just before 8:30 a.m. Friday and no one was injured
Associated Press
CASA GRANDE, Ariz. — Authorities say they're investigating a small explosion that happened at the back entrance of a Social Security Administration office in a small town about 50 miles south of Phoenix.
Casa Grande Fire Marshal Barbara Rice says the explosion was reported just before 8:30 a.m. Friday and no one was injured.
Television images show the building was blackened around the entry door, but Rice says the damage was not extensive.
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has investigators at the scene. ATF spokesman Tom Mangan says they are just starting their work and more information will be available later Friday morning.
Casa Grande police did not immediately respond to requests for information.

FACEBOOK QUESTION: Tuesday, October 30, 2012
How old is too old for Trick-or-Treating? Click here to tell us and join the debate.
Halloween could rank as the most impolite holiday on the calendar.
Bands of disguised children roam through neighborhoods, and the threat of toilet paper and eggs hangs over the evening.
But the annual spooktacular has very specific niceties that must be observed.
Most kids politely tender their trick-or-treats and thank yous, said Paula Tice, who with husband Tony handed out candy to more than 900 kids at their New Albany home last Halloween.
"They're really good about it," Tice said. "If they don't, their parents will prompt them," but that's usually the littlest tikes who are in trick-or-treat training.
In return for investing in more than 20 bags of candy, the Tices get free entertainment for their annual Halloween party, which brings together friends and family for a spread in the Tices' garage.
"We all ooh and ahh over the kids and their costumes," Tice said. "We have so much fun."
The Tices have just one request – let go of the toilet papering tradition.
"My husband doesn't like yards being rolled," said Tice, who noted their house never has been TPed. "It's not nice."
Steve Miller, who is the creative force behind Tupelo Community Theatre's Haunted Theatre, has only one hard and fast courtesy rule for Halloween.
"When the porch light is off, you don't go to the door," said Miller, whose family loves to put together elaborate Halloween displays to surprise trick-or-treaters.
Miller loves to mine the parade of costumes for ideas for the Haunted Theatre, but he doesn't hold with the no-costume, no-candy rule. He takes a more inclusive approach to the holiday; for him, it's more about being part of the community than the candy for the undisguised trick-or-treaters.
"They just want to get out and enjoy," Miller said.
Eight-year-old Katie Evans of New Albany, who anticipates Halloween almost as much as Christmas, has some tips for the candy givers.
"Little kids should get more candy," Evans said. "If the bigger kids got more candy, that means the little kids wouldn't get as much, and they would be sad."
She's also in favor of sharing the Halloween spoils with those too old to go trick-or-treating.
"You should have to share with your parents," Katie said. "If I don't want it, I'll give it to them."

Scholars debate on religion, poverty and welfare reform, May 1
Posted April 25, 2003; 05:53 p.m.
scholars will debate the causes and cures for poverty and explore various religious commitments that underlie discussions about poverty at 12:15 p.m. Thursday, May 1, in the Senate Chamber of Whig Hall.
The debate between Mary Jo Bane of Harvard University and Lawrence Mead of New York University will be based, in part, on their forthcoming book, "Lifting Up the Poor -- A Dialogue on Religion, Poverty and Welfare Reform," which is part of the Brookings/Pew Forum Series on Religion and Public Life.
Bane is the Thornton Bradshaw Professor of Public Policy and Management in Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. She served as co-chair of President Clinton's Working Group on Welfare Reform and as assistant secretary for children and families in the Department of Health and Human Services.
Mead is a professor of politics at NYU and has been a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford and in the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton. Both have written extensively about welfare reform.
The event is sponsored by the America's Founding and Future lecture series of the James Madison Program , as well as the Kuyper Center for Public Theology of the Princeton Theological Seminary. For more information, contact Seana Sugrue at (609) 258-6333.

simple idea, unlikely to work.
Battery life remaining isn't overly simple to determine, but it's still a good idea to monitor battery voltage so you know when the system is about ready to crash.
When i test a battery with a multi-meter i measure its voltage, as the battery dies this decreases.

Training a hunting dog has gotten me into the hunt test world. This is the only water I have regular access to other than the river and I want to make sure I'm making the most use out of it. The island is a rather steep mound, about 10 feet above water level at the center and the bank closest to it is also steep and tall. The rest of the pond has gradual slopes and the corner that is cut off in the picture is pretty thick with trees and growth. As a reference, red line is 100 yards.
Like I said, I'm wanting to make the most of what I've got. What do ya'll think would be good setups to run here (marks and blinds, what concepts would they help with, etc.) I'm always impressed with how much insight you experienced folks have.

Sixteen huge, snow-fattened bowls scallop across majestic twin peaks. Punctuated with glaciers, the expanse feels like the Alps—with consistently great service (No. 5), seamless connectivity (Lifts, No. 2, including the bold Peak 2 Peak gondola), and a lifetime of choose-your-adventure skiing (Terrain Variety, No. 1; Challenge, No. 7). Whistler Blackcomb is back at the top of the rankings (it was No. 1 in 2012–13), and readers are giddy. "Nothing else in North America compares." "The mountain is an 11- plus... Just more in every way." The slopes descend a whopping vertical mile through lush spruce forests (and frequent dreaded mid-mountain fog) to a dynamic ski-tropolis as abundant and diverse as the mountains above. —Susan Reifer Ryan
What's New » Keep an eye out for new dining options, including Alta Bistro, Fuji Market, Harajuku Izakaya, David's Tea, Chinese Bistro and the reborn Uli's Flipside.

By Ben Levisohn
Nike (NKE) ran past earnings forecasts, but that wasn't enough for fickle investors, who have sold down the sportswear stocks shares today.
Shares of Nike have dropped 1.2% to $77.33 today at 3:19 p.m., even as Under Armour (UA) has risen 1.3% to $87.16 and Skechers U.S.A. (SKX) has gained 1.9% to $33.06. Even Lululemon Athletica (LULU), which has dropped 16% in December, has ticked up today–it's gained 0.1% to $58.83.
Marketwatch has the details on Nike's earnings:
Nike's fiscal second-quarter profit rose to $537 million, or 59 cents a share, from $384 million, or 42 cents, a year earlier, when discontinued operations hurt results by 15 cents a share. Sales in the quarter ended Nov. 30 rose to $6.43 billion from $5.96 billion.
Analysts, on average, were looking for profit of 58 cents a share on sales of $6.44 billion, according to FactSet…
Nike's North American sales rose 9%, missing estimates of analysts many of whom were expecting a gain of at least 10%. Western Europe sales rose 15% while China turned positive with a gain of 5% excluding currency translations.
Canaccord Genuity's Camilo Lyon and Patrick O'Brien fear the worst is ahead:
In our opinion, this was a fine quarter with no surprises; however, as we expected expenses are accelerating resulting in guidance that implies a meaningful reduction to Q3 and Q4 estimates. Also, gross margin headwinds are mounting as the favorability from raw materials has turned and supply chain disruptions in Mexico will persist for two Q's. Given NKE's premium 25x multiple, we prefer to play its strength through its retail partners ([Foot Locker (FL) and Finish Line (FINL)]).
Susquehanna Financial Group's Christopher Svezia also recommends investors buy Foot Locker instead of Nike. He writes:
Nike shares trade at 14.8x FY15 EV/EBITDA (SIG), a +46% premium to its five-year average. As expected, current expectations are leaving little room for error. That said, we believe Nike's momentum bodes well for FL. Nike represents ~65% of FL's sales and is weighted by basketball. In addition, futures strength in North America and Western Europe (Germany, in particular), point to continued momentum in these regions. Recall that Germany represents FL's largest country since the RSG acquisition. At 5.8x NFY EV/ EBITDA, FL shares continue to look relatively attractive complemented by a +2% dividend yield and ~$4.40 a share in net cash.
Shares of Foot Locker have gained 3.2% to $40.95 today, while the Finish Line, which beat earnings estimates today, has risen 7% to $27.97.

Curious to the replies here....this was a situation that was explained to me the day the Force on Marks thread came up.
a not so well bred dog , has a preference to pick up birds , but does not care for bumpers so much.As a pup would not retrieve a bumper unless a wing was tied to it.
Dog gets FF'd, FTP , single T , swim by etc.(all done this spring} After FTP dog is much more responsible about picking up bumpers. Dog is pretty ok when birds are thrown, usually adequate when bumpers are thrown.
Owner was hand throwing bumper marks last week , (he can throw halfway across the country) and the dog lollygagged out to get a mark and started sniffing at something and forgot about the mark.
WHAT would YOU do????
The owner did what I would do and said "fetch!! nick Fetch!!" The dog ran with style and enthusiasm on the rest of his marks and got the job done.
So is there ever a time to force on marks ?

Luscious layers of nuts and chocolate are special enough in this dessert, but the pie crust dough blended with macadamias kicks it up a notch.
*To toast macadamia nuts, heat oven to 350°F. Spread macadamia nuts in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

Bittersweet chocolate differs from semisweet in that it contains more chocolate liquor (the paste that comes from ground cocoa beans) and less sugar.

November 20, 2012
Chandler Clay, 202-572-3312, email@example.com
(Washington, D.C. — Nov. 20, 2012) An historic agreement announced today between the United States and Mexico will work to rejoin the Colorado River to the Sea of Cortez and define how the two countries will share the river's resources in the face of increasing demands for water. The agreement establishes new guidelines for river management during drought, while making key investments in water conservation and the environment to ensure that nature can thrive in times of shortage. Another key element of the agreement gives Mexico permission to store water in Lake Mead, a federal reservoir on the Colorado River, located in Arizona.
The Colorado River provides drinking water for more than 33 million people, irrigates 4 million acres of farmland, produces abundant hydropower, and supports a vibrant recreation industry. Yet the mighty river that once flowed from the northern Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California falls short. Since 1960, the river has rarely reached the sea at its delta.
As part of this agreement, the U.S., Mexico, non-governmental organizations, and the seven Colorado River basin states are cooperating to set aside water needed to serve environmentally sensitive areas in the Colorado River Delta.
"Water is the lifeblood of the Colorado River delta," said Jennifer Pitt with the Environmental Defense Fund's Colorado River Project. "This agreement demonstrates water supply reliability and healthy river flows can go hand in hand."
This binational agreement, known as Minute 319, is a major success for international water policy. Minute 319 is an addendum to the 1944 Treaty that defines how the U.S. and Mexico share water in the river that crosses the countries' common border.
"The importance of binational collaboration cannot be overstated," said Osvel Hinojosa, Director of Conservation for Pronatura Noroeste, a Mexican non-profit organization. "This agreement marks a turning point in Colorado River relations between the United States and Mexico."
The Colorado's delta is a critical link supporting nearly 400 species of birds on their journey through the Sonoran Desert across northern Mexico, Arizona and California. In addition to making water available to support flows in the river, the agreement will fund new restoration projects. This work builds on years of restoration efforts already underway by local communities hoping to regain some of the economic, cultural, and environmental benefits the delta once provided.
"This is a major accomplishment for everyone who has worked to restore habitat in the delta and for the local communities who benefit," said Francisco Zamora, Director of the Colorado River Delta Legacy Project for the Sonoran Institute. "Water ensures that these restoration projects will expand and endure into the future, which is very exciting."
"This is about a sustainable future. By beginning to restore the delta, we are demonstrating that there's great promise for healthy rivers throughout the Colorado River basin," said Taylor Hawes, The Nature Conservancy's Colorado River Director. "We're developing and demonstrating solutions that benefit nature while meeting the needs of people for generations to come."
A binational coalition of non-governmental conservation organizations including Pronatura Noroeste, the Sonoran Institute, Environmental Defense Fund and The Nature Conservancy are collaborating through an entity called the Colorado River Delta Water Trust to secure water and manage the restoration efforts in Mexico. These organizations have participated extensively in the binational discussions leading up to the agreement, with assistance from policy experts at El Colelgio de la Frontera Norte, a prestigious Mexican research institution, and Squire Sanders & Dempsy, an international law firm.
Working with the Water Trust, these conservation organizations are joining forces on a fundraising campaign to secure water and expand on-the-ground restoration efforts. In the interim, as the fundraising campaign develops, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation is providing a four-year program-related investments loan to finance the acquisition of these permanent water rights.
Additional support to advance the conservation and restoration efforts in the Colorado River delta has come from the Walton Family Foundation, Tinker Foundation Inc., the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and other major conservation funders.

Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as the best Urology hospital in the nation for 2016-2017 by U.S. News & World Report.
Testicular cancer occurs in the testicles (testes), which are located inside the scrotum, a loose bag of skin underneath the penis. The testicles produce male sex hormones and sperm for reproduction.
Compared with other types of cancer, testicular cancer is rare. But testicular cancer is the most common cancer in American males between the ages of 15 and 35.
Testicular cancer is highly treatable, even when cancer has spread beyond the testicle. Depending on the type and stage of testicular cancer, you may receive one of several treatments, or a combination. Regular testicular self-examinations can help identify growths early, when the chance for successful treatment of testicular cancer is highest.

Having trouble finalizing your fantasy lineup for your crucial Week 15 game? Don't worry, our fantasy guru, James Morris, provides his weekly lineup advice here:
Week 15 "Start 'Em & Sit 'Em" by James Morris
Week 15 is the first week of the fantasy football playoffs for some, but the second week for most. I've gotten more emails and social media messages than any other year telling me about your successful run this season and hope we can continue that streak this week! I know some leagues play until week 17, but most hard core leagues don't because week 17 sees most stars resting.
Start 'em
Josh Freeman – QB Buccaneers: The Saints may have won their Bounty case against the NFL, but that doesn't change the fact that they give up the most fantasy points (FP) to QBs this season at a whopping 24.8 PPG. Freeman is averaging 17.7 PPG, and is the #10 ranked QB over the last 4 weeks according to NFL.com fantasy scoring.
Robert Griffin III – QB Redskins: Coach Mike Shanahan said he won't know until Sunday how effective RGIII can be with his sprained knee, and added the final decision on him playing will be made by the medical staff. However, Griffin is a freak and I fully expect him to play and put up QB1 numbers this week against the Browns. What I find most shocking is that Griffin is owned in 100 percent of NFL.com leagues, but started in just 50.4 percent of them. That numbers was quiet honestly shocking to me because he is the #2 ranked fantasy QB according to NFL.com scoring this season!
Reggie Bush – RB Dolphins: Bush was more involved in the passing game last week and he finished with a respectable 65 yards rushing and 5 catches for 38 yards. While he didn't score, the 15 points were good enough for an RB2 ranking in NFL.com PPR scoring formats. The Jaguars give up 28.1 PPG to RBs in PPR formats this season, so I expect the Dolphins to let Bush do what he does best and catch the ball more.
David Wilson – RB Giants: I'll be honest and say I don't know for sure at the time of writing this article if Ahmad Bradshaw will play or not on Sunday. None of the major news outlets around New York thinks he will play, and my gut says he won't since a sprained knee is typically a 1-2 week injury for an RB.Because I assume Bradshaw is out, Wilson now becomes a legit RB1 with the Falcons giving up 24.2 PPG (8th most in NFL) to RBs this season in PPR formats.
Anquan Boldin – WR Ravens: While I am a little worried about the switch in Offensive Coordinators, Boldin is on a hot streak over the last two games in which he has totaled 159 yards receiving and 3 TDs. Because of the offensive switch, you can be sure the Ravens will throw the ball more and that is always good news for a WR. Denver is 9th in FP allowed to WRs at 19.7 PPG in PPR formats, but Boldin should have a solid WR2/3 type of game.
Mike Williams – WR Buccaneers: Because the Saints give up so many fantasy points to opposing offenses, I would love to play just about anyone in a Buccs uniform this weekend.Williams is only owned in 65.6 percent of NFL.com leagues, and started in 31.9 percent of them, making him a prime sleeper candidate for this weekend.
Martellus Bennett – TE Giants: Bennett has racked up 10 catches for 114 yards and 2 TDs over the last 2 games, and this week gets a Falcons defense that gives up the 12th most FP to TEs at 8.1 PPG in PPR formats. That may not sound like a lot, but the worst defense for TEs (Redskins) give up just 11.0 PPG, so the difference isn't as much as you would think.
Detroit Lions defense: I'm not even going to sugar coat this, the Cardinals are a REALLY bad offensive team and I would play WHATEVER defense they played against this week. It just so happens to be the Lions, and as long as Ndamukong Suh can keep from stomping on someone or kicking them in the groin, the Lions are a top tier fantasy defense against a team full of QBs that play pitch-n-catch with defenses. The Lions are owned in 68.3 percent of NFL.com leagues, but that number is raisingevery single day as owners are flocking to the waiver wire to grab them for this weekend (28,141 this week alone).
Sit 'em
Jay Cutler – QB Bears: For some reason people seem to think the Packers give up a ton of fantasy points, so naturally they want to play whoever they play against for offensive stats. However, did you know the Packers only allow 19.2 PPG to QBs, a number good enough to put them as the #14 in the NFL this season? Add to that Cutler is dealing with neck problems after a nasty hit last week, and now a knee ailment has been added to the Bears injury report. If the Packers get up on the Bears, Cutler will go all Jay Cutler and try to force the ball where he shouldn't; and, that will lead to turnovers.
Andrew Luck – QB Colts: Luck didn't have a good day (196 passing yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs) against a Titans defense that gives up 20.8 PPG to QBs, so I don't really see him doing much better against a Texans' defense looking for revenge after the 42-14 blowout on Monday Night Football last week. The Texans know the Colts aren't a running team, so they are sure to gear their defense to stopping Luck and the passing attack. I would rank Luck in the 15-20 range QBs this week.
C.J. Spiller – RB Bills: I saw one highly respected website put Spiller as their #9 ranked fantasy RB this week, which is crazy to me because the Seahawks are ranked #6 in yards allowed to RBs (1,092) and #4 for FP allowed to RBs (14.7 PPG). Not to mention the Seahawks have the #5 ranked fantasy defense over the last month.
Jacquizz Rodgers – RB Falcons: Rodgers is a good example of why you shouldn't get too hyper over late-season promotions (if you can call it that). If he was good enough to play over Michael Turner, the Falcons wouldn't have moved him up the depth chart months ago. Because the Falcons want to lessen Turner's workload, owners have been flocking to the waiver wire and picking up Rodgers in the hopes of getting waiver wire gold after the trade deadline. Instead of gold Rodgers is looking more like Tungsten thanks to his 129 yards rushing, 15 catches for 104 yards receiving and 1 TD over the last 4 games. That averages out to just 32.3 yards rushing and 3.75 catches for 26 yards receiving. Can you say overrated?
T.Y. Hilton – WR Colts: Hilton got a lot of fantasy football run due to his 100-yard games in weeks 11 and 13. However, he had 33 and 50 yard games in weeks 12 and 14. This week the Colts lock horns with a team sure to be seeing red after a thrashing on a national stage in week 14. I wouldn't even look at Hilton in my flex spot if I could help it.
Justin Blackmon – WR Jaguars: Blackmon's stats are skewed if you look at the last 4 games, so I will take his last 3 games and tell you he is averaging just 4.0 receptions and 42.7 yards. And, with Cecil Shorts due back this week, things aren't looking any better for the Jaguars much hyped rookie WR. I would give Blackmon a flex ranking this week, but would try my best to find other options at WR if at all possible.
Brandon Myers – TE Raiders: I think we all saw Myers' week 13 game against the Browns (14 catches for 130 yards and a TD) and thought we would catch lightening in a bottle if we grabbed him off the waiver wire. Instead, he fizzled out last week and hauled in just 1 pass for 7 yards. This week the Raiders get a Chiefs defense that is actually ranked #5 at TE points allowed with 7.3 PPG.
Chicago Bears defense: The Bears are going once again being bitten by the injury bug, and will be without MLB Brian Urlacher (hamstring), DE Shea McClellin (MCL), S Craig Steltz (pectoral), CB Sherrick McManis (knee), and Tim Jennings (shoulder) may or may not be back for this week's game. Add to that Greg Jennings looks to be back and ready to contribute and you have a recipe for another fantasy bust week for NFL.com's #1 owned and started defense (99.3 percent owned, 91.0 percent started).
Be sure to check back here on Sunday morning for the latest fantasy injury updates.

Opulence ruled at this year's A Night in the Valley. Partygoers swept down the red carpet in floor length gowns and tailored tuxes to the pulse of Spanish music as a Flamenco dancer whirled, flourished, and stomped a dramatic welcome.
Guests paused in the lobby to pick up their bidding numbers, check their coats, and check out one another. Though this is a town fraught with black-tie optional events, those who attended eagerly indulged in full-on black-tie finery, making for some glamourous people-watching. Furs, sequins, and a plethora of one-shoulder gowns created a sea of color, trumped only by the vibrantly draped halls of the Culinary Institute of Charleston.
The evening was nothing if not colorful, kicking off with a glass of rosé as guests stepped into a hallway hung with gold and crimson fabric. They were then welcomed into the kitchens, where students worked hard to replenish a massive spread of Spanish-influenced hors d'oeuvres that were as delectable as they were visually appealing. Crispy miniature empanadas nestled next to fresh, colorful seafood salad and savory canapes, and the adjoining kitchen contained even more tasty bites.
After noshing on frittata, mussels, and fried artichokes, partygoers finally made their way into the official cocktail hours, where they found themselves tempted by even more wine selections, antipasto spreads, and possibly the largest cheese table this fromage-phile has ever laid eyes on. "I can't believe there's even more food," one excited gourmand exclaimed.
Finally the ballroom doors opened, and the crowd made their way amongst tables laden with exotic bouquets. Live Spanish guitar music entertained guests while servers carried out the first course, a tapas plate with cheeses, olives, and roasted vegetables. The second course featured a suquet of grouper, wild American shrimp, and Prince Edward Island mussels with potatoes, peppers, olives, and onions in a saffron broth, while the third course consisted of rack of lamb in a Rioja wine sauce and pan-sauteed Brussel sprouts. Those who somehow resisted the temptations of the cocktail hour delighted in the dessert course, a trio of blood orange flan, chocolate almond torta, and arroz con leche.
The impending food coma did not slow down bidding in the silent auction, however, and guests bid generously on some really great items, including a lot titled, "Buy the Cow, Get the Milk for Free," which included over 200 pounds of Black Angus beef butchered by Charcuterie Master Chef Craig Deihl and a gallon of locally processed milk per week of 2012.
A Night in the Valley benefits the Trident Technical College students and the TTC Foundation, providing scholarships, books, and equipment for students and professional development for faculty and staff. Last year's event raised a record-breaking $369,000 for the college.
