When Nicklas Lidstrom finally hung up the skates last week, it ended the career of a man that The Hockey News once declared the "best European-trained player ever in the NHL".
For all of his glory – 4 Stanley Cups, an Olympic Gold Medal, a World Championship, a membership in the elite "Triple Gold Club", 7 Norris Trophies, 12 All Star appearances and a Conn Smythe Award – Lidstrom's career would never have been possible if it were not for the Swedish players who paved the road ahead of him, removing stereotypes and stigmas of their countrymen and turning Sweden into the third-most represented nationality in the National Hockey League (Canada and the United States are first and second, respectively).
The road began on two separate paths that eventually converged and opened the door for players such as Lidstrom to have a chance to dominate North American hockey.
While the story of Sweden's advent in North America does not begin with the World Hockey Association, the WHA was clearly a catalyst. The "rebel league" of the 1970′s had a lasting impact on the NHL beyond simply adding the Winnipeg Jets (now Phoenix Coyotes), Quebec Nordiques (now Colorado Avalanche), Edmonton Oilers and Hartford Whalers (now Carolina Hurricanes) to the League.
In order to compete against the NHL without completely depleting the talent pool and watering down both leagues, the WHA was forced to look towards nontraditional sources in order to survive. The Winnipeg Jets made a splash in 1972 by signing Chicago Blackhawks legend Bobby Hull, but then proceeded to spend the next two seasons creating another stir by picking up players from Europe. In 1974 alone, the Jets signed forwards Anders Hedberg and Ulf Nilsson, and defenseman Lars-Erik Sjoberg directly from Sweden. In 1975, the Jets would add forward Willy Lindstrom, they added forward Dan Labraaten in 1976 and, in 1977, forward Kent Nilsson. They also poached Thommie Bergman from the Red Wings in the midst of the 1974-75 season (as a rebel league, the WHA had no transfer agreements with the NHL and actually obtained many of its star players by poaching them from NHL clubs). Roland Eriksson joined the club after being released by the Canucks during the last season of the WHA. All told, from 1974 to 1979 (the last year of the WHA), the Jets would play 8 Swedes on their roster, with only Eriksson playing fewer than 100 WHA games.
With a roster loaded with Swedes, the Jets would proceed to win the Avco Cup (the WHA's championship) in 1976, 1978 and 1979. Ulf Nilsson would be the WHA Playoff MVP in 1976, Hedberg and Kent Nilsson would be named rookies of the year in 1975 and 1978 respectively and Sjoberg won the league's best defenseman award in 1978. Hedberg and Ulf Nilsson were in the top 10 in league scoring in every season they played until they left for the New York Rangers after the 1978 season. In fact, the departure of the two first liners to New York is widely considered a major factor in the demise of the WHA, as the league would last one more season after losing two of its top drawing players.
The most dominant players on the most dominant team in the league were Swedish.
Just like that, the notion that Swedes could not compete in North America was shaken.
Prior to the advent of the WHA, the NHL rarely if ever signed players who trained outside of North America. In 1964, Sweden's Ulf Sterner joined the New York Rangers for 4 games, becoming the first Swede to play in the National Hockey League. In his brief stint, Sterner displaying a noticeable lack of physicality due to a major difference in rules between North America and Europe – at the time, the IIHF forbade checking in the offensive zone. Sterner, clearly unable to adjust to the physical play of the NHL, was returned to his minor league club and never played in the NHL again.
In 1969, the IIHF decided to adopt the same checking rules as the NHL and opened the door for European players to start moving to the NHL. However, it wasn't until 1974 – after the advent of the WHA – that the first Swedish player was drafted into the NHL. With the 49th pick in the 1974 NHL Entry Draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs selected Per-Arne Alexandersson. Alexandersson would only play one North American season in the old Central Hockey League.
Indeed, the Maple Leafs proved to be one of the more progressive teams in the NHL in their adoption of European players, as evidenced by the signing of one Anders Borje Salming a half-year before they drafted Alexandersson.
A native of Kiruna, Sweden, Borje Salming was discovered by the Maple Leafs during a European scouting trip. The Maple Leafs had actually gone on a mission to scout and sign Inge Hammartrom of the Elitserien team Brynas IF and noticed Salming, as well, and signed both to contracts for the 1973 season. Hammarstrom was a serviceable 20-goal scorer 3 times in his 4 full seasons Toronto, but Salming became nothing short of a legend. Over the next 17 years, Salming would go on to earn a reputation as one of the greatest defensemen in the history of the NHL. Playing 16 years with Toronto and one final season with the Detroit Red Wings, Salming appeared in 1,148 games, scored 150 goals and added 650 assists. Perhaps his most important mark, however, was his 1,344 penalty minutes, which helped dissuade the notion that Swedish players were anything but "soft". While he never won any individual postseason awards during his career, Salming appeared in 3 All Star Games (1976, 1977, 1978), was named a First All Star once (1977) and a Second Team All Star five times (1975, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1980).
In 1996, Salming cemented his legacy on the game by becoming the first Swedish player named to the Hockey Hall of Fame. As of 2011, he remains the only one. In 2008, Salming was one of 6 players selected – and the only player who was neither Wayne Gretzky nor a member of the Soviet Red Army team – to the IIHF Centennial All-Star Team.
In the same year that Salming was signed by the Red Wings, Detroit drafted 7 defensemen in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft, including a young Swede by the name of Nicklas Lidstrom. Lidstrom and Salming never played side-by-side in Detroit, but they did share a locker room together a few times in international competition.
Lidstrom went to work picking up where Salming's legacy left off. The elder Swede never won a Norris Trophy and – more importantly – never won a Stanley Cup, as he spent the majority of his career with the notoriously-mired Maple Leafs.
In 1997, Lidstrom lifted the Stanley Cup for the first time. He tacked on 3 more after that for good measure (1998, 2002, 2008). In 2008, Lidstrom set more NHL history when he became not only the first Swede to captain a team to a Stanley Cup, he became the first non-North American player to do so.
While Salming's style was physical, Lidstrom's was mental. Far from a "soft" player, Lidstrom was legendary in his ability to read opposing offenses. He was named a Norris Trophy winner for the first time in 2001, then repeated in 2002 and 2003 before relinquishing the trophy to Scott Niedermayer in 2004. After the lockout, Lidstrom continued his domination of the Norris Trophy with another threepeat from 2006-2008. As icing on the cake, he added a seventh in 2011, leaving only Bobby Orr with more.
Lidstrom played for over 20 years in the NHL, becoming one of the League's best known-players and one of the more respected figures. His retirement cemented a legacy that extended beyond mere statistics – he was widely considered a leader, a character player and the sort of player a franchise is built around.
To see Lidstrom's impact on his countrymen, one needs to look no further than his own team's roster. When he retired last week, he left a team which finished the season with five other Swedes on the roster – Jonathan Ericsson, Johan Franzen, Tomas Holmstrom, Gustav Nyquist and Henrik Zetterberg.
When he finished his first season, he was the only one.

DENVER (AP) — Peyton Manning threw for three touchdowns even without Anthony Gonzalez and Pierre Garcon and the Indianapolis Colts beat the crestfallen Denver Broncos 27-13 Sunday.
The Broncos (1-2) were playing with heavy hearts following the death of teammate Kenny McKinley.
Kyle Orton threw for a career-best 476 yards on 37-of-57 passing and the Broncos outgained the Colts (2-1) by more than 100 yards. But they failed to get into the end zone on five trips inside the 20-yard line, settling for two field goals and turning over the ball on downs three times.
Colts receiver Austin Collie caught 12 passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns in place of Garcon (hamstring), and Blair White, playing because Gonzalez has a high ankle sprain, caught a touchdown pass one day after being promoted from the practice squad.

Gateway Fun Park delights visitors year-round with a range of entertainment attractions for all ages—from group outings and birthday parties to packs of friends wiling away the afternoon. Mini golfers aim for the green amid two 18-hole courses' babbling brooks, stone partitions, and miniature buildings. Drivers safely let loose their suppressed road rage by bouncing into each other in bumper cars. A full-scale go-cart track gives lead feet of any age a taste of the open road, and the kiddie track lets kids ages 4–9 finally take the wheel their parents normally refuse to let them eat.
Abundant rides and games find their way into every corner of Tee Time Family Fun Center's indoor and outdoor playgrounds, which keeps guests of all ages enthralled throughout their visit. After entering the facility, it's not long before kids are hugging the racetrack?s turns from behind go-kart wheels, accelerating their bumper cars or bumper boats into fellow participants? vessels, or parading their putting skills at an 18-hole mini golf course, voted Best Miniature Golf in 2009 by Riverfront Times. A 3-D maze coaxes puzzle solvers through its black-lit labyrinth, and a multi-level soft-play area accommodates crawling tykes with its tunnels, tubes, and crawling seminars taught by worms. After playing racing games in the arcade, patrons can re-energize with pizza, chicken wings, or a slice of cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory at the snack bar.
Interactive bumper cars, 80 arcade games, and the tubes, tunnels, and slides of a soft playground all nestle within the 12,000-square-foot Swing-a-Round Fun Town facility in Fenton. Outside, waterfalls and fountains surround three professionally designed outdoor mini golf courses, and a mammoth pond accommodates 15 colliding bumper boats. The fun continues at the kiddie kart track for youngsters 3?8 years old or the more than 1,100-foot adult track, where kids can join a parent in a double-seat go-kart whose second steering wheel allows tykes to pretend drive and practice ignoring hitchhikers. Elsewhere, nine batting cages test players' homerun hitting skills with softball slow and fast pitches or baseballs flung at 35?80 mph. Swing-a-Round Fun Town's St. Charles location hosts nine batting cages as well, plus two 18-hole miniature golf courses and an arcade.
The pedal pioneers at Boschertown Grand Prix Racing have been facilitating high-speed adventures on one of the largest tracks in the Midwest for more than half a century. In the early days of racing, the course served as a venue for the homemade karts of avid individuals, but now houses a herd of go-karts, sprint-karts, and super-karts that eliminate the possibility of unfair home upgrades such as engines outfitted with nitrous or the flux-capacitor of a 1981 DeLorean. Drivers as young as 10 reach speeds of up to 17 mph in a standard kart; racers 16 or older helm 24 mph sprint-karts; and drivers 18 or older take control of 28 mph super-karts. Wheels roll over hairpin turns, banked corners, straightaways, and opponents' rights to call themselves "Greased Lightning" as drivers dominate laps around the 5/8-mile track.
Demolition Ball - Adrenaline Zone's inventive twist on team sports challenges players, daring groups of kids and corporate staff alike. In demolition ball, teams face off in a game that blends bumper-car crashing and lacrosse-like ball handling. As they veer into oncoming opponents and shoot goals to the beat of pulsing music and sound effects, live referees provide commentary on action-packed plays and each player's hairstyle. For a dose of on-foot competition, up to three teams can battle in the power-plant-themed laser-tag arena, where players target opponents with laser beams while darting between slate-gray barriers, hoping their foes will be disoriented by the flashing strobe lights. Players test their sneaking skills in The Heist—a museum-themed maze—dodging trip lasers as they attempt to steal a replica of the Mona Lisa without waking a sleeping Leonardo da Vinci.
Filled with millions of dazzling lights, the 35-acre drive-through fantasyland at Santa's Magical Kingdom brings the North Pole to children, along with a chance to whisper wishes into Father Christmas's ear as cameras flash. The 4-story-tall doors to Santa's kingdom sweep open to admit slow-moving cars or turtle-drawn racing chariots into the holiday fantasyland. Eyes widen in wonder while taking in a 300-foot waterfall flowing from the clouds, Santa's reindeer soaring overhead, the fancy footwork of the bulbs in the Tunnel of Dancing Lights, and the giant gingerbread bulldozers of Candyland. Kids are welcome to drop off letters to Santa in his North Pole mailbox before stepping out of cars and into Kringle's General Store.
Youthful believers outfitted in bright smiles climb onto Santa's lap as photographers snap vivid, waterproof memories that are copyright-free and ready to be reproduced for holiday-card mailings or magazine-cover submissions. Before and after pictures, little ones and adults can let imaginations run wild through shelves brimming with unique holiday toys, gifts, and d?cor. Every evening, Santa's elves bake fresh chocolate chip cookies and their special recipe hot chocolate along with other goodies available at the snack bar, made from a secret recipe that's as coveted as the gold medal in the reindeer-games Olympics. Santa's Magical Kingdom opens every night at 5:30 p.m., from November 15, 2013, to January 5, 2014.

Citra Crooked Tree backwards? Hmm, this is an oddly named brew. Still, Dark Horse and Citra hops...I'm in!
Hazy orange body with a fluffy finger of of-white head.
Nose is tropical with a hint of spice (or pine, maybe). There is a yeasty note that reminds me this is supposed to be unfiltered.
Flavor is slightly sweet, smooth and sharp on the finish. Not as tropical as other citra brews I've had. Tasty and balanced.
Mouthfeel is slick and only slightly stripping.
Overall, a very nice brew. Drinkable and complex. Seems that it would go very well with food.

Poured into a standard pint glas a dull lightly hazed deep burnt orange with a one finger slight off white head atop.Fresh citric hops in the nose,not overly sharp just juicy and fresh smelling,a not overly sweet firm malt base is there as well.Like the nose the flavors are dominated by overripe citrus fruitiness with mild grassiness to boot,there is enough malt to "kinda" hold up the citric blast.A great ipa,love the freshness in the aromas and on the palate.

As a big proponent of the Citra hop, I was very excited to learn that Dark Horse would be including an "all-Citra" version of Crooked Tree in their variety pack. Artic Dekoorc Eert pours basically the same color as its FF and Cascade hop counterparts - a murky and mostly opaque, cloudy amber and copper color with a soapy, thin, big-bubbled, gray-tinted head. No lace, no legging, not much action with the cap.
The first whiff definitely contains some citrus, but not quite like what I was expecting. I was expecting a tropical and citric fruit explosion as I leaned it, but surprisingly enough, I don't even think the citrus was the most prominent portion of the aroma. There were an equal amount of brash leafy and grassy notes; earthy and almost a big dirty. It's not bad at all, but it's it's not at all what I was expecting.
Don't mistake me; there is definitely a helping of the citric character to be found - mild grapefruit peel, very light tangerine and pineapple - it's just met equally as strong by the hop forestry that's taking place next to it. The malt gives off the same caramel tinted vibe as in the FF and Cascade variants, but the hop bill in this one is a bit more pungent and robust, toning down and slashing through the malt's sweetness just a bit more. This one smells like a doozy already.
I take a sip and my taste buds are met with a mouthful of bitter citrus pith, juicy grapefruit centers, orange peels, and a more-than-secondary helping of white pepper and ash-like spiciness. The hops evolve on the palate and unleash a big-time pine needle characteristic, slightly oily and resinous as you may expect. All the while, a menacing bout of bitter citrus peels are tingling the corners of your mouth.
The malt is definitely more-soft spoken in Artic than in both FF and Edacsac - again, I believe this is due to the presence that this all-Citra hop bill has on your palate as compared to the other two. If I'm not mistaken, the malts did not change for any of these variants (feel free to correct me if I am misinformed). The aftertaste is slightly spicy with a citrusy and resin-filled bitterness. Medium-ish bodied with lower than expected carbonation; oily and slick mouth feel.
When I heard about the Dark Horse 12-pack with Citra, FF, and Cascade variants of Crooked Tree, I figured that Citra would be my favorite. And I was right. But, I think I still may prefer the original Crooked Tree over the all-Citra version. Artic Dekoorc Eert was definitely a good beer, but it wasn't exactly like I was expecting. It didn't blow me away like many other Citra-style beers have. Just goes to show you that you can't just throw in an all-Citra hop bill and end up with a masterpiece. While Artic is definitely tasty, it might be one of my least favorite Citra-centric beers to date.

On-tap at Hopcat
A - Pours a cloudy (not sure I've ever seen a Dark Horse beer that wasn't cloudy) orange brown with one finger of off-white head. Good retention and nice lacing.
S - Huge citrus hop presence. Smells about as good as Zombie Dust. Very little malt in the nose.
T - Similar to smell, a citrus hops showcase with just enough malt to provide a little body. I like how Citra brings both citrus zest and some sweet citrus pulp to the flavor. Finishes dry.
M - Medium mouthfeel with earthy bitterness throughout.
O - I like regular Crooked Tree, but this is definitely a step above that for me. I'd love to see this become a DH regular.

Vertical tasting with the other crooked trees. All very dark caramel color. Nice malty smell with a bit of citrus. Not overly citrus flavor. Quite malty like the others. Nice smooth finish for me. Fun little IPA. Third favorite of the 4 I tried. Easy drinking, but the FF and Cascade were better.

Pours a hazy brown/orange with a one finger head. Not much lacing going on.
On the nose is sweet malts and grapefruit. Tangerine. Citrus from the hops. And some earthiness.
Taste is all bitter. Maybe a slight hint of citrus but nothing much more than a big piney punch. If you're into IPAs this is for you.
This beer has nice carbonation. Full bodied.

For the sake of spelling ease, Citra Crooked Tree pours an attractive gold color. It looks slightly hazy. Backlighting gives it more of an orange look. A soft white head tops it off. It's rather modest, standing less than a finger in height. It holds steady there for a while though. Lacing was sticky and moderate. Looks good.
The nose is impressive. It has a strong citric hop scent. It features grapefruit, orange, and mango notes that smell delicious. The malt base smells pretty sturdy. There are some caramel and bread-like notes. The caramel doesn't come through all that strong. That's a big plus. Still smells very hop forward…and delicious. Alcohol is there, but isn't very strong. 6.5% seems about right. Smells good!
The flavor is likewise impressive. I honestly believe this might be as good as the original Crooked Tree. The malt base features some sweet caramel and bready flavors. The caramel flavor is mild and anchors it down nicely. It's not overbearing. The hops are very flavorful and are allowed to shine. Citrus flavors orange, grapefruit, and mango are easily the focal point. It's nice and bitter, but is far from a palate wrecker. Alcohol isn't all that noticeable. It's simply a very flavorful, hop forward IPA. Really good stuff.
The body is medium. Carbonation seems light and reserved. It is very smooth and easy drinking. Goes down far too easily. I could probably handle a few of these in a sitting given the opportunity. It is that good.
I'm really impressed with this Citra variation of Crooked Tree. In my humble opinion, it is as good as the original. Perhaps a little better. I didn't expect that to be the case. Citra hops are very flavorful and work extremely well with this recipe. Not much to complain about here. Really good stuff.

4.22/5 rDev +8.8%
The beer is clear amber with an off-white high, slowly settling head. a bit uneven, but leaving good lacing.
The smell is fruity, pears, apricot, citric, grape-fruit and bitter oranges, floral, pine, hay, grass. Some bread and toffee tones. A lot for being a pale ale.
Initially sweet brown bread, then sour fruity and citric notes, a spicy bitterness enters quickly and dominates in a long aftertaste.
Medium high carbonation, small lively bubbles, a fresh texture, not a big body but a nice dry finish.
Well done and well balanced. Lots of aromas (and hops) in this one. Nice.

4.25/5 rDev +9.5%
The colour is copper (15 EBC), the liquid is a little cloudy. The gigantic head is airy and pale amber. It is firm with a fine crater, and it sinks slowly leaving quite a lot of lacing.
The smell is light. Some American citric hops, dry hints of yeast and rye bread. Sweet, somewhat roasted notes that makes me think of cookies and biscuits.
The taste is creamy with fine American/New Zeeland hops in the background. The bitterness is more of British strength than American. The flavours are smooth: Some biscuits and sweet dark bread, cream, hints of nuts, pineapples and toffee. The aftertaste is as smooth with an slowly growing bitterness that brings some metallic flavours and a touch of canned peaches. The bitterness in the finish is very gentle.
The carbonation is mild, the small bubbles soft. The liquid is very smooth.
Deep inside, this is a style-blend of cream ale and an English bitter with some New world aroma hops. Really, really gulpable!

Recently stumbled across my notes from The Festival 2012. Lets do this!
A - Poured a slightly hazy coppery hue with a light off white head that fades to leave a light blanket.
S - Smell is pretty solid, light citrus, faint roasted notes, caramel, sweet malts.
T - Taste is pretty solid here as well. Light biscuit notes, solid grapefruit and faint tropic notes. Gentle pineapple. Not too too bad with a light bitter finish.
M - Mouthfeel is solid. Light on the carbonation with some faint bitterness.
O - Overall a solid APA. Like the tropical notes but could do with that malty sweetness.

4/5 rDev +3.1%
A: This beer pours dark golden slightly hazy with a large off-white compact head that slowly dissipates into nice lacings.
S: Lots of American hops, both floral and bitter. Pine, grapefruit, pineapple, oranges. Caramell malt.
T: Sweet malt, doughy rye-bread. Floral hops, piney and citric (much like in the smell). Nice bitterness.
M: Aftertaste is rather long and holds a lingering bitterness with a touch of pine. Body is meidum and carbonation is the same.
O: If you're into American hops, this is a very nice beer.

Undated_Uninsured drivers are a big problem in Oklahoma, but Insurance Commissioner John Doak and a few lawmakers are trying to change that.
Right now, the fine for driving without insurance is around $230, and officials can choose to impound your car, if they see fit.
The plan that is being proposed would make it a lot more expensive and create a bigger hassle for choosing to take that risk.
The proposed law mirrors one in Louisiana. They had over 30 percent of people driving uninsured when it took effect, and now it's below 15 percent.
Todd Jones spent over $1,000 to fix his bumper after a wreck with an uninsured driver. But he says it was less costly to do to do that, than pay the fees for court.
"After you get all that and add it up, I think it came up to like $2,500. It adds up and it keeps adding up, so you have to keep doing it a little bit, piece by piece."
Insurance agent Sharon Dismuke says putting your car back together is only half the headache.
"The more money that your insurance company spits out, then the higher your rate is," said Dismuke.
That's one more reason lawmakers want to see a change, which could come under House Bill 1792.
An officer would be allowed to take away an uninsured driver's license tag and replace it with a temporary one. The driver will also get a hefty ticket and temporary insurance.
He then has 10 days to take out his own policy. The driver will take that proof to the county sheriff and pay the fine, a $125 administrative fee, and the temporary insurance cost, all before getting the original tag back.
Jones says he thinks they deserve to pay up.
"If you can't afford insurance than don't have a car, " he said.
If all drivers were insured, Commissioner Doak says the state would make around $9 million more in taxes each year. He says that would mean more money for firefighter and police pensions and for the general state fund.

The Browns aren't being given much chance to win this game, and I agree with that general sentiment, but I believe they will be competitive, because they have been so in every game this season. Is Cleveland vulnerable? Of course, but this is a tough team that could hang around longer than expected if Pittsburgh starts slowly.
Browns rookie QB Colt McCoy's inexperience will make itself apparent at some point, but he played in a lot of big games at Texas, improved throughout the preseason and looks to be a good fit in Brian Daboll's offense. Figure the Browns to primarily ask McCoy to throw short and intermediate passes, and figure them to lean on the running game.
It's a conservative strategy, and if the Browns execute it well, and if the Steelers don't execute well, perhaps things get interesting, but the most likely outcome is Pittsburgh winning, and likely with some ease. The Steelers have a wonderful defense, a more-balanced offense with Ben Roethlisberger back at quarterback and improved special-teams coverage units. I can't see them overlooking the Browns after losing to them last December.
Prediction: Steelers 20, Browns 9

Rates and revenue: Obama's strange obsession
President Obama's fixation on raising the official tax rate on Americans with incomes of more than $200,000 a year borders on the pathological. Financially, it makes no sense. There are better ways to stimulate the economy, reduce the debt and balance the budget. But Obama is determined to force higher tax rates on higher-income Americans regardless of the effects on the budget or the economy.
"There can be no deal without rates on top earners going up," White House Spokesman Jay Carney said last week. "There's not going to be an agreement without rates going up," Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on CNN on Sunday.
But raising rates does not necessarily raise federal revenue (see Thomas Sowell's column on this page). And Republicans have offered a plan that would raise $800 billion in revenue without raising rates. Based on a proposal from Democrat Erskine Bowles, it would reduce loopholes that allow richer Americans to avoid paying the higher rates already on the books.
Obama rejected it. A White House spokesman said it wasn't "balanced." It reportedly raises revenues by $800 billion and shaves spending by $1.4 trillion. Obama's offer raises taxes by $1.6 trillion, trims entitlements by $400 billion, cuts another $110 billion and adds $50 billion in new spending. There's a $600 billion gap between new revenues and spending cuts in the GOP plan, and a $1.04 trillion difference in Obama's plan. What's that about balance?
Balance is not what Obama wants. He wants total ideological victory over the Republican Party. For that, he is willing to risk plunging the country into another recession.

Madness Radio: Multiple Worlds Anusuya StarBear
Is it possible to navigate the "multiple worlds" that emerge during psychotic experiences? Are voices and altered states also like a shamanic journey, needing guidance to find your way? Anusuya StarBear has heard voices and gone through altered states her whole life. A tragic near-death experience 20 years ago left her with severe and chronic physical pain -- and the calling to be a healer. Today visionary painting and Native American spirituality transform her pain into a creative pathway as a Process Oriented therapist, coach, and energy healer.
I really enjoyed this episode! Thank you Will and Anasuya! I thought the last segment about process work and the medicine wheel and mindfulness was really interesting.
I truly loved the whole segment, hearing Anasuya's story. Not many of us have been able to have altered sates and avoid the social stigma that can come with that, so it's a blessing to hear from someone who escaped that entirely.
I'm definitely looking forward to more episodes like this! hint hint Will. LOL

As the deadline approaches for enrollment in the Affordable Care Act, the number of those enrolling in the lone star state is growing.
After a slow start in Texas, insurance sign up under the Affordable Care Act seems to be growing this month as deadlines hit for those needing coverage now.
According to records about 14,000 Texans enrolled for insurance coverage in October and November on the federal exchange website. Officials expect a rush on the website over the weekend and Monday to enroll for immediate coverage.
Open enrollment will continue however through March. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas has told the Dallas Morning News that the company has added 500 customer-assistance representatives this month to handle a flood in calls.
December enrollment numbers won't be released officially until early January.
The last report by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services tallied more than 364,000 individuals who had completed the application process and picked a plan nationwide.

Dr. Jill McDevitt, owner of Feminique Boutique, isn't happy.
"I feel persecuted," McDevitt said.
She says the wares at her sex shop are just too racy for the Chester County suburb--leading to what she calls a history of harassment from borough officials. So after five years in business she's decided to close the store.
"I feel there is a crusade against sex and anything that is sexual is bad," McDevitt said.
Borough Manager Ernie McNeely says there's no crusade against the store.
He says one recent notice in five years to remove a window display depicting sexual activity is far from harassment, but Dr. Jill claims that's not all she's endured.
She says the unfair treatment started with her fight to open the store five years ago. One of her most recent hurdles is putting up a new sign.
"It has the female form and a heart which is supposed to symbolize femininity as well as discretion," McDevitt said.
The Borough Manager sent us a copy of the conditional use agreement Dr. Jill agreed to saying all signs and advertising will not portray human private parts. But the 28-year-old sexologist doesn't agree with what it says.
"For a while, I followed it but then I started realizing that the definition of sex activity started to mean hearts and mannequins."
Soon the mannequin's in the store will be gone and with them a sex shop where Dr. Jill says West Chester University students can intern for college credits and get help on their homework.
She plans to shut her doors November 30, 2013. But she'll still have an online store and will continue doing sex education tours across the country.

WLAX: Improved Second Half Not Enough vs. No. 10 Duke
Related Links
DURHAM, N.C.- The Jacksonville University women's lacrosse team without a doubt has one of the most grueling schedules. Scraping with Syracuse and Florida in the early goings of the season, the Dolphins (4-4) suited up against No. 10 Duke on Sunday afternoon and are set to play Stony Brook in a few weeks.
Facing the Blue Devils (6-3, 1-1 ACC) for the second time in program history, the Dolphins played well but dug a whole too deep in the first half as they fell by a score of 17-6.
Duke won the first five draw controls and converted on each possession to take a 5-0 lead nearly six minutes into the contest. The eventual 8-0 Blue Devil run was ended when Kelsey Wiglesworth (Towson, Md.) found the back of the net on a free position goal at the 20:00 mark.
Ali Brennan (Columbia, Md.) later closed the gap to eight, 10-2, on JU's second free position goal of the evening (10:01). However, the score would be all the Dolphins could net in the stanza as Duke tacked on two more goals to enter halftime leading,12-2.
"We have to have a better start," said Head Coach Mindy McCord. "I was glad to see our players never let up and play within a one goal game in the second half."
Knocking in a goal with 27:42 remaining, Wiglesworth was the first to dent the scoreboard in the second period. JU play was much improved in the latter 30 minutes of the contest. The team committed fewer turnovers and created more pressure on Duke which resulted in fewer shots and goals. Following Wiglesworth's second goal of the evening, Ali Hoffman (Gambrills, Md.), Morgan Derner (Lake Mary, Fla.) and Kirstin Purdy (Lake Worth, Fla.) each tagged in a score. The Fins weren't able to draw any closer than nine but they did limit Duke to just five goals in the half.
Chelsea Watts (West Long Branch, N. J.) collected three draws in the contest while Asia Moore (Apex, N.C.) and Kelly Lacy (Towson, Md.) grabbed two ground balls apiece. Moore also faced 30 shots in the net and recorded nine saves.
Jacksonville will have a few days to regroup before returning to D.B. Milne on Wednesday, March 19 to take on Wagner at 1 p.m.

Obama praises Mountain View while greeting mayor

Come on now, Voice! You were certainly not the first 'to press' with the story of Obama's stump speech. The least you can do is be honest in your reporting and not just report the party platform. Didn't give his name? His name is Doug Edwards, and any cursory examination of today's news would have revealed that. So, yes, you are correct, he did not give his name, but why stop there with such a great story? Oh yeah, because he was invited by a friend with links to the Democratic Party. He also has an impressive history of donations to the Democratic Party... at least $72,000 over the past 10 years to Democrats. How honorable of him to ask the President to raise his taxes when Obama is talking about income taxes (Given he is comparing "effective tax rates" when talking about a teacher making $50k). I wonder if he is as willing to ask Obama to tax his wealth at a high rate rather than his income (probably a lot lower than it used to be since he's retired!). You out there Doug? Such blind pandering for a political candidate in a "news" story takes away from any good ideas Obama may have had in the speech. Pathetic.

We had 8 years of the gun slinger. At least he had no pretentions about himself.
Tired of all that, we hoped to elect a leader , but instead we got a down and dirty politician trying to hide being his rehetoric and his political shananigans. I voted for this guy and I am sorry I did.
He needs to get of his high horse and stop his pontification.
If I were a lucky shmuck who made out in the bubble, I too would be a philantrope, but to use such cheap political theater is insulting the intelligence of the Valley crowd.
Any one keeping tab on this presidents travel budget. Airforce One is not a political campaign bus. So much for change. Yeah I asked for change but the only thing this guy is going to leave me is the Change in my pocket.
Thanks a lot

To No stock option Worker, I understand your feelings.
LinkedIn is for the elite professionals, the upper 10-15% of our national workforce. It is for those whose success depend on his/her connections rather than his/her commitment to the employer.
I don't think a plumber, a mechanic, an elementary school teacher or even a Boeing engineer would have much use of LinkedIn.
For Obama it fits his pompous elitism attitude to use LinkedIn as a backdrop to promote his so-called job plan. It's good business for LinkedIn. But very bad for those who will subsequently waste hours on this web site.

A Vintage Map Sip and See by Katharine Stahl 4/23/12 5 Reactions 278 Shares Print 242 32 4 0 0 The April Showers creativity just keeps on coming, and this week we're completely enamored with this sip and see's Welcome to the World theme. Courtney Cargile of A Little Savvy Event in Sonoma, CA, planned the "Old-World, elegant" shower using a host of stylish vintage maps and globes. Hanging map mobiles and garland, colorful globe centerpieces, travel-stamped suitcases, and a beautiful handmade guest book covered in a world map — not to mention the gorgeous venue (the Gundlach Bundschu Winery) — are just a few of the details we're loving. We're hoping the mom-to-be went home with a few pieces of decor, which would be adorable in a nursery, too. Keep clicking for all the inspirational shower details. Source: Allyson Wiley for A Little Savvy Event Welcome to the World What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "We started planning this sip-and-see well before we knew the sex of the baby! We have done multiple events at Gundlach Bundschu Winery and love the venue so we were thrilled when they agreed to let us use their Bungalow," says Courtney Cargile of A Little Savvy Event. "The Bungalow is over 100 years old with dark wood walls and a large stone fireplace. The space felt very masculine to me so when we found out baby Taylor was a girl, we knew we needed to bring in lots of light and color into the room." One of those light, sweet details, the DIY map mobiles, added some serious style. "I found plastic embroidery hoops at a thrift store and then spray-painted them pink. I took old maps and secured them in the hoops and then cut the excess paper around the edges. I hung the mobiles in the window so they would be slightly illuminated," Courtney says. 1 / 10 Food What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "My inspiration for the look and feel was Old World and elegant. We had an amazing venue to work with and we didn't want to overwhelm the space with too much fuss. We decided to use a neutral color linen for the tables and bring in small pops of color with the napkins and decor," Courtney says. Over the table hung DIY map garlands. "This is a simple project but very time consuming!" Lisa says. "I collected old travel maps from thrift stores for 25 cents each, and then used two different sized hole punchers from the Martha Stewart crafts to cut out perfect circles. I then glued two circles together along a silk ribbon at varying intervals to create the hanging garland." 2 / 10 Map Mobiles What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 How chic is this scene? The map mobiles add so much style and would look equally cute in baby Taylor's nursery after the shower, which took place on a rainy day. "We used natural light as well as candles to create a warm intimate setting and a welcome reception from the rainy day," Courtney says. 3 / 10 Candy-Coated Decor What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I collected candle holders in different sizes and shapes and then spray-painted them with two coats of pink spray paint," Courtney says. "I was able to display these subtle decor pieces on the mantle and bring in a much needed pop of color." The arms of the vintage globe were painted the same pink. 4 / 10 Cake Pops and Popping Straws What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The cake pops actually came from Starbucks (love that idea!), while the cookies were made by Wine Country Confections. Polka-dot straws came from Etsy's Hey Yo Yo. 6 / 10 Beverages and Blooms What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Decanters get a baby-appropriate use as juice containers, while the simple, romantic blooms came from Sonoma florist FleurEssence. 6 / 10 Old-World Style What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Another look at the work of Sonoma florist FleurEssence and more vintage map details. 7 / 10 Gundlach Bundschu Winery What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Old wine barrels acted as cocktail tables. 8 / 10 Mantel What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Another look at the vintage map garland, painted candlesticks, and flowers. 9 / 10 Guest Book What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Courtney says, "I purchased everything for the guest book at Paper Source. They have DIY bookbinding kits that allow you to pick unique paper for the cover. I chose a wrapping paper that had a world map on it with a pink bookbinding tape. I glued different colored envelopes on each page of the book and provided guests with note cards to write sweet personal messages to baby Taylor.

I want to introduce a variant that allows for stat adjustments for males/females, but I would like something more in-depth than just a bonus and penalty to stats. Are there any existing variants or guidelines on how to implement this?
My reasoning is that most heroic adventures were written with males in mind --even if not specifically addressed-- and that women aren't always as strong as SOME men but may be smarter or more "in tune" for lack of a better term.
Any help would be great as I would like to avoid re-inventing the wheel. Thanks!
(This is for 3.5 but other sources that offer guidance would be good too if there are no 3.5 specific.)
