The chairlift crash at Crystal Mountain Resort in Kelowna on the weekend is eerily similar to an accident Richard Friess had in 1991 on the same lift. In an interview from his home in Ontario on Monday, Friess, 48, said he was a seasonal employee with the resort in the early 1990s and was on the lift when the cable came off and sent him plummeting more than six metres down before stopping. Another six employees were on the lift at the time, but Friess said no one was hurt.

CD/LP/Track Review
Alex Sipiagin: Steppin' Zone/Hindsight (2001)
Steppin' Zone was recorded in the summer of 2000 and released last year and it prominently features fellow Mingus band mate David Kikoski at the piano, along with tenor saxophonist Chris Potter, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Jeff 'Tain' Watts. Much of the material, both original and of other origin, takes on an up tempo character with the kind of 'burn out' atmosphere that Watts was used to generating for the Brothers Marsalis. Even Pat Metheny's "Missouri Uncompromised" becomes a prickly bebop number that Sipiagin's muted horn tackles with stunning clarity, his lines soaring into the upper stratosphere. So too, George Shearing might smile at the facelift given to "Conception," a funky Latin groove giving things a jagged feel. Here, as elsewhere, the trumpeter's clarion voice is liquid in its precision and ability to negotiate the toughest lines, with Potter often playing Wayne Shorter to Sipiagin's Miles.
It could be that by titling his sophomore effort Hindsight, Sipiagin is telling us something about how he approached this new work. There's much less of the flash and pyrotechnics that marked Steppin' Zone and more of the thoughtful introspection that distinguishes pieces like "Very Early" and "Reincarnation of a Love Bird." It's as if the first record announced that he could wail with the big boys and now the focus is more on developing a group sound. Adam Rogers' darkly romantic guitar gives things a softer hue, while drummer Gene Jackson spells Watts and in doing so offers Sipiagin and the returning Potter a different kind of under girding for their solo statements.
Again, much of the material comes from the trumpeter's pen, although the beginning and end are nicely framed by two different versions of the aforementioned "Very Early." In the final analysis, both of these albums find Sipiagin developing his creative muse in a way that his influences seem to be coming together into a personal amalgam. And if that wasn't enough, fans of Chris Potter will want to check out some of the best of his most recent work as a sideman.

We offer two ways to locate information:
We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Chateau Leoville Las Cases is one of the largest and oldest classified growths in the Medoc region of France. The fruit is harvested by hand. The fermentation vessels include a fascinating mix of wooden, cement and stainless steel vats. When finished the wine is pumped to the barrel cellar. Here it is transferred into oak barrique, between 50% and 100% new for the grand vin, depending on the vintage.
"Incredible nose of crushed berry, licorice, violets and lightly toasted oak. Pure crème de cassis. Full-bodied, with big, velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Solid. Best after 2011." 97 Points Wine Spectator
"This is massive, hugely concentrated, topped with wood and intense tannins. Flavors of bitter chocolate are dominant, heavy fruits, blackberries and texture that fills the mouth with dark, dense flavors. Big in all senses." 94 Points Wine Enthusiast
"The solidly made 2003 Leoville Las-Cases (13.2% alcohol) is a blend of 70.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17.2% Merlot, and 12.6% Cabernet Franc. In this incredibly hot vintage, the alcohol is slightly lower than achieved in 2002, a cool-climate year. While not a profound example of Las-Cases, the 2003 is muscular, deep, and full-bodied with an impressive ruby/purple color, a tight but juicy bouquet of vanilla, black cherries, crushed rocks, and flowers, a sweet attack, and moderately high tannin. Backward and fresh, displaying impeccable delineation and purity, it can be enjoyed between 2012-2023." 93 Points The Wine Advocate
"Full ruby-red. Plum, tar, cedar and nutty oak on the nose; less exotic than most '03s. Then massive and full on the palate; almost too big for the mouth. As silky as this is, it also possesses very good acidity for the vintage. Finishes with huge but lush tannins and superb length. The IPT here is 74, compared to 70 in 2005, and the alcohol is a tad higher, at 13.2%. A perfect vintage of Las Cases for tasters who normally find this wine too rigorous, but this still promises to be long-lived." 93 Points International Wine Cellar
Chateau Leoville Las Cases is one of the largest and oldest classified growths in the Medoc region of France. Originally the other two Leovilles, Leoville Poyferre and Leoville Barton were part of the large estate. Today Leoville Las Cases comprises over 209 acres and has been run since 1950 by the Delon Family. Currently, the estate is run by the well-known Michel Delon.
The estate stretches from Chateau Beychevelle down to Chateau Latour, and the main estate is a picturesque, enclosed 100 acre vineyard depicted on the label. The winery is established as a Second Growth. vineyard.

Prevent child ID theft
Published on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 by
Sequim Gazette Staff

ID theft prevention methods
• Secure a child's legal documents such as a birth certificate or Social Security card in a safe or deposit box
• Teach a child never to give out his/her personal information without the parent or legal guardian's consent.
• Obtain a state-issued ID card for the child. Get the child's full legal name and other biographical information into the state Department of Licensing record system along with correct and complete parent/ guardians' names and addresses. Washington state issues ID cards to children as young as 1 month with a parent/ guardian accompanying them proving their identity.
• Protect the child's identity from long-term harm by being attentive to credit offers or mail solicitations addressed to the child.
• Be aware of a child's use of the Internet, especially programs that share biographical information.
by Sequim Gazette Staff
Thieves who steal children's identities use them to purchase handguns, ring up thousands of dollars of purchases and apply for loans.
The Coalition for a Secure Driver's License program is starting in Sequim to raise awareness of how to protect children's identities through Keeping Identities Safe, KIDS, which encourages parents/guardians to obtain Washington state ID cards for their children.
"We don't have a problem here compared to many other places," said Brian Zimmer, president of Coalition for a Secure Driver's License.
"This is a rural area with a lot of kids and many rural communities are being targeted because they aren't ready for something like this."
In Sequim and Port Angeles, CSDL is offering free IDs for children through the Department of Licensing through Feb. 16, 2010. Former Sequim resident and CSDL chairman Don Kendall recommended the pilot program be started through the Boys & Girls Clubs.
"I'm pleased to help protect children's identities from theft and fraud. Helping parents obtain state-issued ID cards for their children will work to protect our youngest citizens," Kendall said.
Steps for free child ID
Step 1: Pick up an informational brochure and reimbursement voucher between 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday at the Carroll C. Kendall Boys & Girls Club, 400 W. Fir St., Sequim, or the Port Angeles Boys & Girls Club from 2-6 p.m. Monday-Friday at 2620 S. Francis St.
Step 2: Parents/guardians and the child can obtain an ID card from 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays; 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Thursdays; and 8:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Saturdays at the Department of Licensing, 228 W. First St., Suite M, Port Angeles. An enhanced ID, for travel outside the U.S., requires an appointment.
Step 3: Parents/guardians bring the child, the ID or temporary ID card and completed voucher to either of the Boys & Girls Clubs. The reimbursement will be made through a check.
Arrangements for transportation to the licensing department can be made through the Sequim Boys & Girls Club at 683-8095.
Child ID theft by the numbers
A Federal Trade Commission study disclosed in 2007 that more than 30,000 children in America had become victims of identity fraud.
Zimmer said because thieves access biographical information that children enter on Web sites, parents need to be aware of their child's Internet activity.
"Once a child's identity has been taken over by an adult criminal, it will cause the parents a lot more time and trouble than by taking a few precautionary steps early on," Zimmer said.
Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula executive director Bob Schilling agrees.
"We can't stop identity thieves, but if there comes a time when our community is particularly targeted, this campaign will reduce the impact," he said.
"For our youth organizations in the community that need to keep records of the children who participate in sponsored activities, it will really help when parents can provide a state-issued ID for a child."

Thanks for visiting www.urbancowboy.ca!
Since 1995, I've taught agricultural communications at the Ontario Agricultural College. I've held the position of director of research communications at the University of Guelph for 27 years, where I started a program called Students Promoting Awareness of Research Knowledge (SPARK).
I've been fortunate to lead programs that have won awards or been recognized by the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Awards, the Canadian Council for the Advancement of Education, the Association for Communications Excellence and the Canadian Farm Writers' Federation. It's a tribute to the hard work and dedication SPARK students and research communications staff have shown over the years, to the cooperation we've had from University of Guelph faculty and administration, and to the commitment from sponsors.
After graduating from the University of Windsor with a communications degree, my journalism and communications career began as a reporter and editor in Ontario, at the Wallaceburg Courier Press, and then in Alberta, at the Grand Centre-Cold Lake Sun and the now-defunct Alberta Report magazine. Professors, editors and publishers such as the late Andy Osler and Gary O'Flynn, Peter Longmore, Jim Bentein, Link Byfield and Ted Byfield had a lot of patience with me as I was learning the profession, and I owe my students the same consideration.
Today, besides teaching and administrative work at the University of Guelph, I am active as a journalist, most notably as the agri-food columnist — the "Urban Cowboy" (i.e. an urban person who writes about the farm sector) — for the Guelph Mercury.
I also contribute to various other regional and national publications, including The Grower, RealAgriculture, Farm Credit Canada's FCC Express e-newsletter and the Toronto Star.
I'm a native of Mitchell's Bay, Ontario (pop. 350), a small village on Lake St. Clair, about halfway between Wallaceburg and Chatham. I hold a Bachelor of Arts (communications) from the University of Windsor, a Masters of Science (rural extension studies) from the University of Guelph, and a Doctorate of Education (agricultural education) from Texas Tech University and Texas A&M University.
In 2005, I was named an honourary professional agrologist by the Ontario Institute of Agrologists. In August, 2012, I was elected Vice-President of the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists. I also received the academic programs award of excellence from ACE in 2012, as well as having a peer-reviewed journal article I co-wrote with colleagues named Article of the Year by the Journal of Applied Communications.

Defensive tackle Nick Craig had knee surgery Thursday and will be the third starter on the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's defensive line to miss spring practice.
The only healthy starter is defensive tackle Nick Davison. Spring practice begins Feb. 25.
"We've got two deep," Mocs coach Russ Huesman said, meaning two healthy players at each of the four defensive line positions. "That's all we need [to practice] -- two deep -- and that's what we've got."
Craig, a 6-foot-2, 295-pound rising senior, will be out at least 10 weeks but is expected to be ready for preseason practice. He made 38 tackles last season.
The other starters out are defensive ends Chris Donald (wrists) and Josh Williams (shoulder). Backup defensive tackle Jesse LoScudo (shoulder) also will miss spring drills.
Freshman offensive lineman Shaun Hill, who enrolled in January, had shoulder surgery last week to fix a torn labrum. He will miss spring practice, as will freshman quarterback Terrell Robinson (wrist).
"This is what happens in the spring," Huesman said. "You get some kids banged up [during the season] and have surgeries."
Backup safety Briant Henry, who played in 10 games last season, mostly on special teams, did not return to school for the spring semester. Huesman said it was a mutual decision.
Backup wide receiver Jarrett Burns will not participate in spring practice, Huesman said, so he can focus on academics.

Man I just want some way to get that targetmaster without having to spend sixty bucks for the Japanese version of the Voyager. I mean, I'd overpay for a minicon, but I wouldn't overpay that much.
I really hope these get put in the capsules eventually.
Though I would also think Hasbro would be crazy to pass on packing the things in three packs and selling them like they did minicon packs, or even doing something like the blind packed minicons they released in the UK. The things would sell like gangbusters.

Kind of interesting how the official combined weapon form of the Autobot Microns is called "Star Saber" with what we know about the Aligned Continuity. I could hope this ties into events coming up in the show and toy line.

Hello I was looking to redue my kitchen caountertops . Has anyone used or tryed the Rustoleum countertop product that homedepot or lowes sells. | |||
There was a discussion about painting countertop with another product that seemed to be easier than rustoleum. I cannot get a link to post (i am an inept ipad user!) but it is on page 2 of this forum. Or type "painting kitchen countertop" in find area. | ||||
I would avoid painting your countertops if you can. I have seen this done a couple of times and the outcome tends to be hideous. You can usually pickup laminate countertops on the fairly cheap side, and so worth it in the end. | ||||

Right. Deadly Boss Mods now warns that an explosion is imminent, then tells you to move the moment it happens.
It targets people not at the moment the cast begins, but the moment the cast finishes. It will launch projectiles in an arc to those spots. So the best strategy is for everyone to be clustered on the boss, until the big ooze finishes his cast, then to haul butt away. If you scatter preemptively, you scatter the areas where the explosions will hit, making it much more likely someone will run into a targeted zone and die.

\nReview of the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador
Whether parked or blasting past at more than three times the national speed limit, the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador makes a bold statement.

Vicious acceleration; sublime steering; unmatched visual presence; surprisingly spacious cabin.

Full 2013 Lamborghini Aventador Review
What's New for 2013
A new Roadster model joins the Lamborghini Aventador lineup for 2013, along with stop-start technology and cylinder deactivation to improve fuel economy. Improved suspension components and optional carbon-fiber body elements are also new.
There is a certain point at which monumental wealth allows some to shrug off the concerns of mere mortals. It's the sort of riches that elicit no more than a raised eyebrow when throwing down half a million dollars on a vehicle that, by all accounts, is a model of impracticality and waste. The 2013 Lamborghini Aventador is a full realization of this kind of decadence, but don't get us wrong. This supercar is also very much an object of desire.
Let's start with what makes a supercar so super: power. With a 6.5-liter V12 producing an astounding 690 horsepower, there are only a handful of cars available in the U.S. that produce more. With lightweight carbon-fiber construction, that power is put to good use as all four wheels spin wildly to get the top-dog Lamborghini up to 60 mph in under 3 seconds, with a top speed of 217 mph. The Aventador also corners with similar aggression, giving racecars a run for their considerable money.
But stunning performance is only half of the Aventador's equation; it's also a stunner when stationary. The sharp faceted bodywork evokes images of stealth fighter planes, as does a cockpit that is equally evocative. But all of this flash has a considerable non-monetary cost, too. Visibility in any direction is hampered by a steeply raked windshield, huge mirrors that dominate the view out the side windows and a rear window that shows but a sliver of what's behind you. Combine this with the car's wide footprint and even basic tasks like parking become nerve-wracking exercises.
Then there's the Aventador's punishing ride quality that transmits every minute flaw in the road directly into your spine. This year, Lamborghini has improved the ride, but compared to most other supercars, the Aventador is still quite stiff. These ride quality changes have as much effect as the new fuel-saving measures (stop-start technology and cylinder deactivation) that resulted in only 1 mpg more on the highway. As it stands, the most important news for 2013 is the debut of the convertible Aventador Roadster, which comes with its own unique set of drawbacks.
But even with these flaws, the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador remains one of the epically effective ways to make a statement. The closest competitor understandably comes from Lamborghini's arch rival in the form of the 2013 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Of course, when you have monumental wealth at hand, we see no reason not to simply buy both.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2013 Lamborghini Aventador is a two-passenger exotic supercar available as either a coupe or roadster.
Standard coupe features include 19-inch front wheels, 20-inch rear wheels, high-performance tires, carbon-ceramic brakes, a deployable rear spoiler, an adjustable-height suspension, hill-start assist, automatic bi-xenon headlights, LED running lights, heated and power-folding mirrors, automatic climate control, leather upholstery, a tilt steering wheel, LCD gauge cluster, the Lamborghini version of Audi's Multi Media Interface, a navigation system, real-time traffic, Bluetooth, an iPod interface and a sound system.
The Roadster adds a power rear window, a wind deflector and an engine cover with sectioned hexagonal glass plates.
Optional equipment includes numerous carbon-fiber body parts and interior trim, a transparent engine cover, a carbon-fiber engine cover, the Parking Assist package (front and rear parking sensors and a rearview camera), heated power seats, a multifunction steering wheel (in smooth leather, perforated leather or suede) and an upgraded sound system. There is also an extensive customization program available.
Powertrains and Performance
Powering the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is an outrageous 6.5-liter V12 that produces 690 hp and 509 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is standard, along with a seven-speed automated manual gearbox that features five different operating modes: three manual (Strada, Sport and Corsa) and two automatic (Strada-auto and Sport-auto). Launch control and hill-start assist are also standard.
Lamborghini estimates that the Aventador will go from zero to 60 mph in about 2.9 seconds as it accelerates to its 217 mph top speed. It doesn't get much quicker or faster than that. This year, fuel consumption is slightly improved thanks to the addition of stop-start technology and cylinder deactivation, which shuts down six cylinders when cruising on the highway. Still, EPA-estimated fuel economy is only 11 mpg city/18 mpg highway and 13 mpg combined. You'd be hard-pressed to find something much thirstier than that.
Standard safety equipment includes traction and stability control, antilock carbon-ceramic disc brakes, knee airbags and side airbags that cover the head and thorax.
Interior Design and Special Features
Echoing the Aventador's aggressive faceted exterior styling, the interior features angular shapes and controls that would look more at home in a stealth fighter jet. Just starting the engine involves a sort of missile-launch ceremony, as you have to lift a red anodized safety cover to access the start button.
To complement the styling and flourish, the Aventador's cabin also features a decent amount of up-to-date electronics. Pulling from parent company Audi's parts bin, the Lamborghini uses a slightly revised MMI infotainment interface to control the audio and navigation systems via a centrally mounted dial. It works just as well as the Audi system, but considering the amount of concentration required to pilot the Aventador, even the simplest tasks may prove too complicated.
Space in the Aventador is what you'd expect in today's generation of supercars. Drivers taller than 6 feet should still have sufficient headroom and just enough legroom, though there's certainly a claustrophobic feel that goes along with its low-slung roof line and limited visibility. Storage is also practically nonexistent, making the prospects of a road trip rather remote.
Opting for the open-air experience of the Roadster reduces practicality even further, but Lamborghini owners are seldom fazed by such trifles. Rather than employ a folding fabric roof or retractable hardtop, the roof comprises two removable lightweight carbon-fiber panels that fit perfectly into the front trunk. And by perfectly, we mean that they leave room for nothing else. The good news is that the Roadster looks devastatingly beautiful with the top stowed, and the power rear window can be lowered so you can enjoy the full V12 orchestra performing behind your head.
Driving Impressions
At low speeds, the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador is pretty disappointing. The transmission is jerky, the ride borders on intolerable and the engine emits a rather unimpressive, whiny mechanical drone. But this is a Lamborghini -- what on Earth are you doing driving it slowly?
Lay into the throttle and the V12 comes alive with a raucous symphony. When the road starts throwing you curves, the Aventador eagerly dive bombs into corners thanks to its quick, precise steering and composed chassis. Unlike some other big exotic cars, however, the Aventador never feels smaller than it actually is. Due to the car's wide girth and poor outward visibility, it can be hard for the driver to build up confidence on a demanding road or racetrack.
Sacrifices are few if you decide on the Roadster. The Aventador's body rigidity seems unfazed by the lack of a roof, and the al fresco experience is a treat to all senses. This is one of the rare instances where a convertible supercar is on par with the fixed-roof coupe version in terms of performance.

TEAM DNR Volunteers
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
TEAM volunteers and their work are an inspiration to us all. Each trained volunteer delivers quality, hands-on presentations to students around the state. They come from diverse backgrounds, but all share a strong desire to give something back to Maryland students. Their efforts are helping to shape a new stewardship ethic among our young people.
Each volunteer attends three training sessions. Training sessions cover our core programs and other environmental topics. There is a field component to the Streams Program in the last training session. See below for upcoming training dates and details.
Volunteers will work in pairs in the classroom and new volunteers are in training with experienced volunteers until they feel ready to teach on their own.
How can I become a TEAM volunteer?
If you are interested in becoming a TEAM volunteer you need to do the following:
- Look at the volunteer description that details the duties of TEAM volunteers
- Fill out a TEAM volunteer application. You can fill it out here and submit it electronically.

Volunteers Sought to Educate Maryland Students on the Chesapeake Bay and Natural Resources
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking interested adults to become TEAM (Teaching Environmental Awareness in Maryland) volunteers. Our volunteers mission is to educate students about the Chesapeake Bay, coastal and Bay marine creatures, and Maryland streams. Since its inception in 1998, TEAM DNR volunteers have delivered 1,400 classroom programs to more than 33,000 students in Maryland. To read more about the TEAM program, go to www.dnr.maryland.gov/education/teamdnr/.
Volunteers should have an out-going personality and a strong desire to help students understand and care for their natural environment. No prior teaching experience is necessary. Volunteers must have their own transportation.
Volunteer Trainings
Friday, Feb. 21, 2014 - 9:30 am - 2:30 pm
Thursday, Feb. 27, 2014 - 9:30 am - 2:30 pm
Thursday, March 6, 2014 - 10 am -3 pm
The first two sessions will be held at the DNR (Tawes) Building, 580 Taylor Ave., Annapolis MD 21401. The last session will be held at Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary, 1361 Wrighton Rd., Lothian, MD 20711.
Volunteers are expected to attend all three trainings, as they each cover different modules or TEAM programs. Volunteers are expected to then observe in-school programs until they feel comfortable to team with another TEAM volunteer. Then, volunters are asked to do at least 4 separate program dates a year to remain active.
Currently, TEAM offers Maryland schools free classroom programs on the following topics:
- Chesapeake Bay Watershed
- Streams and Macroinvertebrates
- Oyster Reefs
- Horseshoe Crabs
- Chesapeake Watermen

CeroWrt is a project built on the OpenWrt firmware to resolve the endemic problems of bufferbloat in home networking today, and to push forward the state of the art of edge networks and routers. Projects include proper IPv6 support, tighter integration with DNSSEC, and most importantly, reducing bufferbloat in both the wired and wireless components of the stack.
The CeroWrt 3.7 series of builds include the following features and capabilities:
- Linux 3.7 kernel. Many of the fixes for bufferbloat are being implemented in this 3.7 kernel, so we are tracking these developments carefully. http://kernel.org
- Active Queue Management fixes for bufferbloat including: the Codel algorithm - Kathie Nichols' and Van Jacobson's newest AQM algorithm; Eric Duzamet's FQ_Codel, which enhances codel significantly; working ECN; Stochastic Fair Queueing-Random Early Drop (SFQRED); and other queue disciplines, including a version of codel from the current ns2 model and a fq_codel (nfq_codel, efq_codel) based on that.
http://bufferbloat.net - IPv6 support. Another major goal of CeroWrt is to make IPv6 networking in the home as simple as IPv4.
- Babel mesh routing protocol (quagga release).
- DNSSEC and DNSSEC proxying - Secure extensions to the DNS system. Proxying is currently in testing.
- OpenWrt features. Because we track the OpenWrt code base carefully, we incorporate most of the capabilities of that distribution. We actively push our changes/enhancements back toward the OpenWrt trunk. http://openwrt.org
- An attractive web GUI for configuration - LuCI
This is a stable build that can be used as a production router, and as a platform for further research into algorithms for solving state of the art problems in networking.

Halo Headlines - 5/23/11
Daily Links for the LA Angels including Wells is at least three weeks from returning, Kazmir could return as a reliever, stop calling for Trout and start asking for Baisley and much more...
The Story: Vernon Wells thinks he will be back in three weeks.
The Monkey Says: That sounds great and all, but the Angel coaching staff has not signed off on that prognosis. In fact, Scioscia was quoted over the weekend as saying that he hoped they weren't "talking about months." Given these two conflicting statements, I suspect that within two weeks there will be a more definitive timeline for Wells' return.
The Monkey Says: Kaz is still talking a lot about rebuilding his confidence, which hardly instills, you know, confidence. I don't think anyone expects much from his rehab stint, and I really don't like the idea of him as a reliever. Seriously, what do the Angels need with a third lefty out of the pen?
The Story: Stop calling for Mike Trout and start calling for Jeff Baisley.
The Monkey Says: I fully agree with waiting on Trout until 2012, but I feel like this Baisley guy isn't worth the trouble. It couldn't hurt to see if he can help the bench out, but having a few good months in the thin Salt Lake air is about all he really has going for him, so I can't imagine him becoming some kind of offensive sparkplug for the Angels.

Instagram photo, video ads on their way
Instagram will soon be inserting photo and video ads into the stream for its US members, the 3-year-old Facebook-owned service announced Thursday. People will notice the "occasional ad" in the "next couple months," Instagram said.
"Seeing photos and videos from brands you don't follow will be new, so we'll start slow," Instagram said in a blog post on the change. "We'll focus on delivering a small number of beautiful, high-quality photos and videos from a handful of brands that are already great members of the Instagram community."

The Sarasota Music Festival is getting old and it's time to call in Ponce de Leon for a trip to the Fountain of Youth. Dwindling audiences, old formats and faces, and small nips and tucks won't do the trick. Yet the answer is right in front of it: Use the youth!
Take Saturday night's concert at the Sarasota Opera House. It was a sandwich with a delicious filling between two pieces of stale bread.
The first slice came in the form of Stravinsky's wonderfully evocative work, "Dumbarton Oaks." A festival premiere — better late than never — conductor Joseph Silverstein, violist James Dunham, cellist Abe Feder, bassist Fred Bretschger and hornist Gregory Hustis made up the basis of the faculty chairs. (It was wonderful to see some youthful faculty members this year!) The rest of the ensemble was made up of current students. The playing was technically terrific but the interpretation missed Stravinsky's humor, playfulness, jauntiness and funb leading to a stodgy, humorless performance.
The other stale presentation came at the end of the evening when Silverstein (now with his violin) joined violist Barbara Westphal, cellist Desmond Hoebig and pianist John Perry for a bloodless reading of Brahms' magnificent A Major Piano Quartet. Wrong notes abounded and the anemic performance missed the Brahmsian passion that is the composer's hallmark. (It did, however, inspire one young couple toward the back of the house to spend the last two movements making out, something one doesn't see too often at the opera house … )
But the filling, the middle piece of the evening, was worth everything. One doesn't get to hear the Bloch "Concerto Grosso" in D Minor often, yet it should be a staple of the chamber repertoire. Performed without a conductor by staff members Martin Chalifour (violin), James Dunham (viola) Ronald Leonard (cello) bassist Bretschger and pianist Jean Schneider with a sizable student string orchestra, this was the highlight of the evening. Bloch takes us on a travelogue of folk songs and reels from the British Isles to the Middle East (perhaps the polyglot he encountered while in the United States) for a work that's a melodic song underscored by rich harmonies and polytonalities that always resolve into beautiful major chords that seem to welcome us home.
Chalifour, without making a big deal out of it, led the ensemble by subtle body language and, while the work could probably have benefited from an actual conductor, it was more of what this festival should be about than what we're getting.
Perhaps we should leave the faculty to teach and the students to play, bringing in — on occasion — a master musician as a soloist. Perhaps it's time to incorporate more talk into these performances, and the use of cameras and even — heavens! — chamber vocal ensembles or soloists in vocal chamber music.
Perhaps we should have more fun at these concerts. Take a page from The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and the Spoleto festivals, Aspen and Tanglewood. These aren't gimmicks. They're fresh air.

Bethpage Federal Credit Union Wednesday will begin the 10th year of its VITA program, the largest free tax filing assistance program on Long Island.
VITA, which stands for Volunteer Income Tax Assistance — a government program — helps low-to-moderate-income households prepare their tax returns for free.
Last year, the credit union helped secure nearly $1.5 million in refunds for Long Islanders and completed 1,151 returns with more than 100 VITA-trained volunteers.
This year, the program will be available from Wednesday until April 13 to all eligible Long Islanders, including those who are not members of the credit union.
About 150 IRS-certified volunteers, including bilingual tax assistants, will be available to meet with eligible taxpayers with 2012 incomes of $49,000 and below to file tax returns.
VITA services will be available on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons in 12 Bethpage branches throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties: Elmont, Freeport, Hempstead, Massapequa, Roosevelt, Westbury, Bay Shore, Central Islip, Farmingdale, Patchogue, West Babylon and Riverhead.
For specific times and branch addresses, go to bethpagefcu.com or call 800-628-7070.

NARRATOR: Helen Levitt was a street photographer who lived and worked in New York. Her subjects were often children, frequently residents of East Harlem. Levitt used an attachment on her camera that allowed her to look one way and take the picture the other, so the people in Levitt's photographs often appear to be unaware of her presence. As a result her images have an incredibly spontaneous feeling—they capture life as it happens, without interpretation.
The generation of documentary photographers that preceded Levitt—those that worked through the Great Depression—often intended their photographs to have a social function. They would glorify farm workers, monumentalize factories. Levitt saw the world with more of a Surrealist's eye. She was first drawn to photography by graffiti and children's chalk drawings—transitory, untutored images. But she soon began focusing on children—a favorite Surrealist subject, since children were presumably freer than adults, more natural and less corrupted by civilization. James Agee once described the particular kind of innocence that appears in her photograph:
"The overall preoccupation in the photographs is, it seems to me, with innocence not as the word has come to be misunderstood and debased, but in its full, original wildness, fierceness, and instinct for grace and form."

Loc: Piedmont Region of Virginia, U... Hey, wwh. When checking out whether sweet gum and black gum should be one or two words, I came across another botanical listing in which you can list beginnings of genus and species.
For instance, if you wanted to track down Quercus alba--and understand just the derivation of 'Quercus,' you wouldn't enter 'Quercus,' but just 'quer'. This lexicon will trace all the 'quer' words.
Here's the url, worth at least a quick browse:

Posts: 13858 Dear WW: I'll have to do some cogitation before I can use that site. I don't know enough to ask the right questions.
Incidentally, those sweet gum burrs (I think that's the word) threaten to make me take a tumble, now that so many leaves have fallen and they are hidden. I'm so unsteady on my feet because nerve injury from collapsed intervertebral disc and just plain stenosis (narrowing of places where nerves exit spine) that I lack sensation and strength in my lower legs. I wish the squirrels worked harder on them. Before so many leaves fell, the wind would roll them off the pavement. But now they get trapped under the leaves.

Arc'teryx R-320a RRP £120It's expensive, but Arc'teryx claim this is the most comfortable fully-adjustable all round rock harness available. Arc'teryx introduced WST technology in 2008, and for 2011 they've upped the stakes even further: altering the weight, shape and width of the harnesses to make them even more comfortable, supple and superlight. What is WST? Most harnesses have webbing that wraps all the way around to the buckle and padding to add comfort. Arc'teryx eliminated the need for padding by making the webbing itself wider and more comfortable. How? They remove the weft fibres from a set length in the middle of a strip of webbing, leaving only the warp fibres behind. Warp fibres represent the strength in the webbing and weft fibres give the webbing structure. Then they spread out the warp fibres, which retains the webbing strength, laminate them to give the webbing structure and wrap them in a durable face fabric.

More info: on the Arc'teryx website.
DMM Renegade RRP £65A comfortable all-round adjustable harness featuring seven gear loops, a padded but ergonomic waist belt that allows freedom of movement and comfort when belaying. The belay loop is rated to a hefty 25kN. It features a nifty floating waistbelt so that you can centre the gear loops. The Renegade can come with either Slide Lock buckles (Renegade) or with Threadback buckles (Renegade Pro). Features
Small: 435g: Waist 64-79cm / Leg 45-58cm Regular: 450g: Waist 75-91cm / Legs 50-63cm Large: 480g: Waist 87-104cm / Leg 55-70cm
More info: on the DMM website.
Black Diamond Chaos RRP £89.99Optimised for long days on route, the Black Diamond Chaos harness is a premier all-day trad climbing harness. The bullhorn-shaped waistbelt features BD's 'Kinetic Core Construction'. What's that? Multiple thin strands of 'Vectran' (liquid polymer fibres) spread across the harness and sandwiched between taffeta and lightweight foam creates low bulk strength; an added breathable padded lumbar insert provides top-notch comfort on hanging belays and multi-pitch routes. The abrasion-resistant shell material holds up to nasty offwidths and grinder layaways and a Speed Adjust buckle allows easy on/offs. Four pressure-moulded gear loops and a 12 kN-rated haul loop ensure everything you need for a big climb can be properly organised. Features
More info: on the Black Diamond website.
Wild Country Elite Ziplock RRP £74Cool, clean and modern, the Elites are Wild Country's most fully featured, stylish and comfortable harnesses to date, designed with no compromises for the multi-discipline climber. With strong visuals and clean lines these harnesses ooze quality, backed up with the confidence of a host of great features. With 'Comfort Mesh' and Ziplock buckles making adjustment a 'cinch'. Features
More info: Wild Country Harnesses.
Petzl Adjama RRP £70Designed to perform across summer rock, winter ice and year-round mountaineering, the Adjama is an all-rounder. The Frame Construction waistbelt with breathable wicking mesh provides maximum support and comfort, while adjustable leg loops help when using skis or crampons.
More info: on the Petzl website.
CAMP Jasper CR3 RRP £59.99The CAMP Jasper CR3 is a popular harness due to its combination of comfort and versatility. Another all-rounder, it features a sliding waist system that allows the padding and tie-in points to be perfectly centered. The new contoured cut provides great support during extended hanging sessions and climbers will appreciate the stiff, webbing reinforced gear loops that keep gear close to body on the back and at the ready near the front.
More info: on the Allcord website.
Edelrid Jay RRP £51.95One of the most affordable harnesses of the bunch, the Jay is a quality bit of kit nonetheless. Suitable for trad and general all-round use, the Jay features a number of innovations including a special membrane construction to enhance durability and a unique load distributing sewing technique. Features

Mammut Ophir Harnesses RRP £50-£65And finally, the new range of adjustable harnesses in Mammut's Ophir line is now in the shops.

What's next for DL Christian LaCouture?
October, 28, 2012
Damon Sayles | ESPN.com
News broke Sunday morning that three-star defensive lineman Christian LaCouture (Lincoln, Neb./Southwest) decommitted from Nebraska. What many don't know is that LaCouture, the No. 3 player in the state of Nebraska, had doubts about his commitment for some time.
LaCouture said he made his decision public on Sunday to avoid being a distraction for teammate Josh Banderas' U.S. Army All-American jersey presentation this week and Southwest's playoff game against Omaha (Neb.) North on Friday. The decision, LaCouture said, actually was made a couple weeks ago.
