The Seattle-based nonprofit once known as Group Health Credit Union changed its name in 2010 to evoke a green, leafy, hardy plant seen as having medicinal properties.
No, not that one.
But four years later, what is now Salal Credit Union is gingerly stepping into a different field of green by doing business with growers of the cannabis plant.
In an apparent first for Western Washington that could ease fears that truckloads of cash will be a magnet for crime, Salal says openly that it expects to provide bank accounts for some state-licensed marijuana growers and processors.
The credit union plans a "beta test" with a couple of the businesses in the next few weeks, expanding soon to others in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties if all goes well, Salal CEO Russ Rosendal said.
"We're going to be fairly selective even after the testing period on who we take," Rosendal said, saying owners must have a "significant business background."
Salal's tentative step follows Numerica Credit Union's decision to serve Spokane-area growers and processors. Both credit unions will offer pickup of deposits by armored car.
Neither plans to offer accounts to retail stores.
Rosendal said Salal isn't set up to handle the large volumes of cash that retailers could need. Numerica spokeswoman Kelli Hawkins said retailers can't know exactly who is buying their product.
The credit unions rely on February guidance from the federal Justice and Treasury departments saying banks will be less likely to face prosecution for financial crimes if they follow state laws and the Obama administration's priorities, including keeping pot away from kids and criminal gangs.
The advice offers no guarantees.
"There are certainly some gray areas in there," Rosendal said, "but we think that some of the processes and controls that we've got in place, and certainly working with the state, should allow us to bank some of these companies."
It's good news, said U.S. Rep. Denny Heck, who has pushed to change the marijuana banking laws in Congress.
Olympia Democrat Heck said he would bet two or three other financial institutions will join the first two while keeping mum publicly.
But many are wary.
Washington Bankers Association President Jim Pishue said he has not heard of a bank planning to open marijuana accounts.
Olympia-based Heritage Bank won't, said Jeff Deuel, president and chief operating officer, unless something changes.
"As a public company, it just doesn't seem like it's worth any of the risk to take this on right now until things are more clear," Deuel said.
That may be a reason the first to embrace the industry are credit unions, owned by account holders and not by shareholders.
But other credit unions, including BECU and TwinStar Credit Union, say they won't serve weed businesses.
Which leaves businesses in a bind.
Seattle's Sea of Green Farms first tried Umpqua Bank and then Bank of America, part owner Philip Tobias said, but both closed its business accounts once management discovered the source of its money.
Its state license in hand, the grower and processor is still using personal accounts to pay employees, Tobias said.
The problem grows once the company makes its first sale to a retailer, probably around the first week of June, he said.
"I'm trying to convince people not to bring cash in, because that just makes a big risk," Tobias said.
Salal and Numerica both cited the public-safety risk of an all-cash pot market among their reasons for participating.
Rosendal added that with Salal's historic ties to health care, it would like to work with marijuana businesses with medical, research and testing goals. But they will have to be licensed under the recreational-pot law. The medical market is unregulated.
"Personally, I'm in favor of allowing adults to do what adults want to do responsibly," Rosendal said. "I think there are some really legitimate uses of the product for chronic illness."
Scott Jarvis, director of the state Department of Financial Institutions, said he's heard from some institutions that will keep existing customers who get licenses. Others may be waiting for more expected guidance from federal regulators, he said.
A couple of credit unions are not enough to ensure access, he said.
"There will be people who will still be on a cash basis," Jarvis said, "and that's troublesome."

Freshman catcher Blake Logan had driven in six runs this season going into Wednesday's game at Plainsman Park. He matched that number in four innings against Coppin State.Logan, spelling usual starter Blake Austin behind the plate, hit a three-run home run, the first of his Auburn career, in the second inning. He drove home two runs with a single in the third inning and another with a sacrifice fly in the fourth as Auburn romped to a 12-2 victory, sweeping its two-game series with Coppin State and outscoring the Eagles 22-2 to improve to 15-7 for the season.

Walmart to open San Ramon Neighborhood Market, five others today

Hooray! This is going to bring some needed price relief in the price of groceries. I also can't wait to buy the USDA Choice meats at a reasonable price, rather than buying the inferior USDA Select or worse under the non-informative Rancher's Reserve label at Safeway. This will also bring some needed competition to Costco whose price increases have been outpacing inflation by a big margin. Heck, Whole Paycheck Market might even have to drop thier prices!
I just with the Pleasanton store was going to open a lot sooner than mid 2013.
on Sep 18, 2012 at 8:45 am
There goes the neighborhood...

Quin sounds like an x Safeway Employee, somewhat disgruntled.
I agree with Jonas ~ THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD!!
Walmart must have paid out some big $$ because nobody wanted them here!

Totton well beaten at Chippenham
11:20pm Tuesday 27th November 2012 in AFC Totton
STEVE Riley admitted AFC Totton were "second best all night" as the Stags lost 3-0 at Chippenham Town in the Southern Premier Division tonight.
Two goals by the Bluebirds' new signing Tom Knighton helped put paid to the visitors on a chilly evening at Hardenhuish Park.
"We had a couple of chances early on but we didn't capitalise and they were the better side from then on," summed up Stags boss Riley.
*Full report in tomorrow's Echo.

The Seattle Seahawks started Monday Night Football with a little bit of trickeration, running a reverse on the opening kickoff. Undrafted rookie wide receiver Doug Baldwin took the ball from Leon Washington, returning it 37-yards to near midfield. The Seahawks offense couldn't do much with the field position however, punting the ball to the St. Louis Rams.
Like the Seahawks, outside of a 26-yard pass from Sam Bradford to rookie tight end Lance Kendricks, the Rams offense stalled out after being pinned deep. The Rams lined up to punt and disaster struck. Doug Baldwin beat his man off the edge and got to the football as it was being punted, blocking it. Fullback Michael Robinson scooped up the football and took it in for the score, to put the Seahawks up 7-0.

The Browns will not trade for a quarterback once the lockout ends, general manager Tom Heckert told multiple reporters Tuesday afternoon.
Heckert was speaking during the club's Cleveland Browns Foundation golf tournament, held Tuesday in Akron, Ohio.
Heckert reportedly declined to talk about whether the Browns would be interested in former Giants WR Plaxico Burress, who was released from prison on Monday.
The way we see it
Heckert's comments about the club's lack of interest in trading for a passer takes them off the list of possible suitors for Eagles QB Kevin Kolb, widely regarded as the best young signalcaller who could be available via trade. The Browns seem likely to enter 2011 with second-year pro Colt McCoy as their starting quarterback.

So my wife bought me Rivals for Valentines Day (yeah, pretty awesome), but while searching around VandySports.com, I found some non-premium info that I hadn't seen before. If you haven't read over my amateur recruiting outlook you may want to take a look. Then check out the list of offers after the jump.
These are all the players listed as offered by Vandy on Rivals. Any the comments on each player come from ESPN (also non-Insider content).
So far we have 8 offers out for 2012, with 5 spots expected. All of our offers so far are in the top 75, including one 5*. Last year we offered 11 players total, only 5 of whom were 4*. Clearly, we're far from done, and we have interest in a few more top 75 guys. But I wouldn't expect too many more offers from these kind of guys.
So here's what we've offered so far. If any news pops up on non-premium areas feel free to add it in the comments. Note also that these guys are all just juniors so they'll probably fill out more and may still add some height.
Kaleb Tarczewski - 7'0, 220 lb C from Mass. Rivals: 5* #4 C, #13 overall. ESPN: 5* #5 C, #8 overall.
*Would be our best recruit ever. Has offers from UConn, G-town, Kansas. No offer yet, but interest from UK.
*Good hands, good rebounder, very mobile. Big finesse, skill center.
Gary Harris - 6'4, 170 lb SG from Ind. Rivals: 4* #5 SG, #24 overall. ESPN: 5* #3 SG, #12 overall.
*Has offers from Butler, Cincinnati, Mich. St., ND, Ohio St, Xavier. No offer yet, but interest from Louisville, Marquette and UF.
*Very physical, aggressive slashing SG or wing. Disruptive defender. Great going to the hole, good midrange game, not a great 3 shooter.
Alex Poythress - 6'7, 205 lb PF from Clarksville. Rivals: 4* #11 PF, #35 overall. ESPN: 4* #9 PF, #26 overall.
*Offers from Tenn., UF, Marquette, Memphis, UGA. Interest, but no offer from Texas.
*Long, mobile, excellent rebounder, good finisher, good hands, good defender. Kind of a small, but long very skilled PF.
Je'lon Hornbeak - 6'3, 173 lb SG from Texas. Rivals: 4* #9 SG, #52 overall. ESPN: #16 SG, #80 overall.
*Has offers from Mizzou, Texas and WVU.
*Kind of a combo guard. Efficient, skilled ballhandler. Good vision, good passer, solid 3 shooter, good in the lane. Not much defense.
Evan Nolte - 6'8, 200 lb SF from Atlanta. Rivals: #15 SF, #59 overall. ESPN: #14 SF, #53 overall.
*Goes to Milton High School with Dai-Jon Parker.
*Offers from Auburn, Clemson, UF, UGA, Ohio St., USC. Interest, no offers from Duke and Texas.
*Long SF who really shoots the 3. Runs well, smart player, gets physical. Streaky and needs to broaden his game, doesn't rebound much.
Tony Parker - 6'9, 250 lb C from Atlanta. Rivals: 4* #12 C, #64 overall. ESPN: 5* #5 PF, #14 overall.
*Has offers from UConn, Duke, UF, G'town, UGA, L'ville, NC St., Ohio St., UT. Interest, but no offer from Kansas and UNC.
*Big, thick and very skilled. Terrific hands, has a midrange jumper, lots of post skill. Questions about his conditioning and his motor (compared to Renardo Sidney).
Omar Calhoun - 6'3, 170 lb SG from Brooklyn. Rivals: 4* #13 SG, #67 overall. ESPN: 4* #11 SG, #57 overall.
*Offers from UConn, UF, L'ville, Maryland, Pitt, Nova, WVU. Interest, but no offer from G'town, Kansas, UK and UNC.
*Can score pretty much anywhere on the court in a variety of ways. Solid defender. Could use to get stronger and be more aware and in control.
Landen Lucas - 6'9, 238 lbs C from Nev. Rivals: 4* #13 C, #75 overall. ESPN: 4* #18 PF, #74 overall.
*Offers or interest from pretty much everyone in the Pac 10. Interest but no offers from Kansas, G'town, ND, Texas.
*Being recruited by Dan Muller.
*Good frame, long and getting stronger. Great fundamentals down low, smart player who plays physical. Needs to be more aggressive, not very explosive.
We are listed as having interest in a few other guys ranked in the top 75 on Rivals:
Jeremy Holloway - 4* #9 SF, #39 overall. ESPN: 4* #7 SF, #38 overall.
Jordan Tebbutt - 4* #14 SF, #54 overall. ESPN: 4* #17 SF, #63 overall.
Jordan Adams - 4* #10 SG, #55 overall. ESPN: 4* #16 SF, #56 overall.
Jaylen Beckham - 4* #11 PG, #72 overall. ESPN: 3* #15 PG, unranked overall.
None of these guys have as many offers as the ones listed above, so it seems like the market for these guys is a little slower developing. Tebbutt and Beckham particularly don't have that many offers yet, so I wouldn't be surprised to see any of these 4, but especially Tebbutt and Beckham get offers.
Now, obviously Poythress is the guy who is most clearly linked to Vandy. I also feel really good about Lucas. He seems like the kind of kid that we tend to get.
My best (mostly uneducated) guess at a great but realistic haul would be Poythress, Lucas, and one of the G or SF types. The class would then be filled out with one or two other 3/4* guys from deeper down the rankings that CKS unearths.

CATEGORIES DVDsLooks like the Hollywood studios saved the majority of their 2009 films for DVD release in the first month of this year -- we count close to three dozen theatrical releases coming to home video this month, with 12 this week alone. We travel from the sands of Iraq ('The Hurt Locker') to New York City ('Fame') to Madea's world ('Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself') and to the 'Moon.' Oh, and don't forget yet another Michael Myers reincarnation in Rob Zombie's remake of 'Halloween II. ' 'The Hurt Locker'
What It's About: A favorite among the many film critic groups as the best film of the year, and up for Directors Guild of America, Screen Actors Guild and Golden Globes awards. 'The Hurt Locker' is a riveting, suspenseful portrait of an elite Army bomb squad as they battle insurgents and each other as they search for and disarm roadside bombs on the streets of Baghdad -- in order to make the city a safer place for Iraqis and Americans alike.
It's Kinda Like: 'The Small Back Room' in Iraq
What We Say: Director Kathryn Bigelow has put together a real tour-de-force edge-of-your seat thriller that isn't afraid to show the rigors and horrors of war as well as baring the psyches of the soldiers who play cat-and-mouse games with their lives. A truly great war film. Bigelow, by the way, will be giving ex-husband James ('Avatar') Cameron a run for the money as best director of the year.
What It's About: Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is nearing the completion of his three-year-long contract with Lunar Industries, mining Earth's primary source of energy on the dark side of the Moon. Alone with only the base's vigilant computer, Gerty (voiced by Kevin Spacey), as his sole companion, Bell's isolation has taken its toll. As he prepares to return home, he blacks out on a routine drive, and awakens in the module, face-to-face with a younger version of himself. And that's just the beginning of strange events on the Moon.
It's Kinda Like: 'Solaris' meets 'Mission to Mars'
What We Say: 'Moon' harks back to the good old days of science fiction films when grand themes of individuality, identity and sanity were explored without the need for super-duper special effects; i.e., the literary exploration of what it means to be human using science fiction as the framework. One critic dubbed it 'the anti-Transformers."
What It's About: Contemporary remake of the 1980 fan-favorite that follows a group of dancers, singers, actors and artists over four years at the New York City High School of Performing Arts. It's all-singing, all-dancing, all-heartbreak and some success as students from all walks of life are given a chance to live out their dreams and achieve real and lasting fame. .. the kind that comes only from talent, dedication, and hard work.
It's Kinda Like: The original 'Fame' spruced up for today's 'High School Musical' crowd
What We Say: This reimagining of the 30-year-old 'Fame' -- though it does have its moments -- surely won't live up to the original's song catch phrase "I'm gonna live forever." It's bland and formulaic and doesn't come anywhere near the catharsis of the first 'Fame.'
'Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself'
What It's About: When Madea, America's favorite pistol-packing grandma, catches 16-year-old Jennifer and her two younger brothers looting her home, she decides to take matters into her own hands and delivers the young delinquents to the only relative they have: their aunt April. Initially wanting nothing to do with the kids, April learns that she can change her old ways and become a better person for trying to put the kids on the straight and narrow.
It's Kinda Like: Every preceding Tyler Perry film, but not as funny
What We Say: Another in the ever growing Tyler Perry franchise of family comedy-dramas; this one aiming a little higher on the Richter Scale of melodrama. Unfortunately, the story line is a bit too predictable and pat -- and there's just not enough Madea to go around.

The Doc.CloseAndDiscard() method on documents returns message of ' not a member of 'Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Document'.
How do we close a dwg file in AutoCAD 2013?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Works great, thanks.
more clearly, it's DocumentExtension.CloseAndDiscard(doc)
just in case anyone would expect it to be an extension method, like i did
It is a extension method
public static void CloseAndDiscard(this Document doc) { CloseInternal(doc, true, null); }
I checked it and you're right, but I am using VB.net. And there it isn't an extension method.
Taken from MSDN:
Notice that the extension method definition is marked with the extension attribute <Extension()>. Marking the module in which the method is defined is optional, but each extension method must be marked. System.Runtime.CompilerServices must be imported in order to access the extension attribute.
Extension methods can be declared only within modules.
With C# you import the namespace and VB you import the module, but it still is a extension method.
I am importing
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.DocumentExten
which is a class. I couldn't find the module I am supposed to import in VB. Do you know where I can find it?
I know that, Alexander. I was asking about the module for VB.

Elkhart County Commissioners Monday pledged to support a locally-sponsored legislative bill, that if approved, could cause significantly more Local Option Income Tax revenue being returned to county and city coffers.
Goshen Mayor Allan Kauffman went before the commissioners Monday to seek written support for the bill, which is being sponsored by Indiana State Rep. Wes Culver, R-Elkhart County, at the request of Kauffman.
According to Kauffman, the bill, which has yet to be named, focuses specifically on the tracking, collection and distribution of LOIT. Indiana first allowed local governments to use income taxes in 1974. Since then, many new local income tax options have been authorized, such as the County Adjusted Gross Income Tax (CAGIT), County Option Income Tax (COIT) and County Economic Development Income Tax (EDIT).
"I served on a state committee with the auditor of Allen County, Tera Klutz," Kauffman said. "We were assigned to look at all taxes that the state collects and distributes because of the snafu that happened in the last couple of years with distributions.
"So we tracked all of the hoops that all of these revenues go through after collection and before distribution, and the most troubling for Tera and I was LOIT. That was the first one we discussed — and these meetings went on for six months — and the last one we discussed, because it seemed to be the most difficult to work with."
At the committee's first meeting, Kauffman said he asked the head of the Indiana Department of Revenue if they keep track of the information employers send, including where their employees live, the counties they live in, how much of the withholdings are from each county, etc.
"I thought the answer was going to be yes, and the answer was no," Kauffman said. "It's all lumped in with state income tax, and just dumped into the general fund, and then when people file their individual tax returns, then they know what counties to send it back to."
The major problem with that, Kauffman said, is that there are some counties, including Elkhart County, that tend to have a higher proportion of workers who do not file tax returns for whatever reason.
Kauffman learned that there is no way — due to resources, software and other issues — that counties can get the tax money back if residents do not file income tax returns. The money cannot be tracked back under the current system, he said.
"So, everybody in the room, to their credit, said this is a problem," Kauffman said. "If a dollar comes down from Elkhart County it ought to go back to Elkhart County — but they didn't know how to fix it. So the report that comes out of the committee is that we know this is a problem, and with the current resources we have, we cannot fix it. That's basically it."
In light of those findings, Kauffman said that Culver and several other state legislators have come forward with bills designed to try and fix the funding distribution issue.
"Wes Culver's bill is one of a few different bills that have been filed," Kauffman said. "But his bill basically says that the state has to track where the money's coming from, and it has to distribute the unreconciled cash. If they're going to continue to work off of individual tax returns, when they figure out how much of this pot of money is unreconciled, they send that back too. So that's the essence of the bill."
Following Kauffman's report, Commissioner Terry Rodino pledged his support to the bill, adding he would have no problem writing a letter of support for the bill that could be used by Culver to help push the bill forward. Commissioners Mike Yoder and Frank Lucchese were quick to agree.
"I have no problem with supporting that," Rodino said, noting that he also felt it might be good to get a similar letter of support from the Elkhart County Council, to which Kauffman agreed.
"This should be a no-brainer for the council," Kauffman said.
Tax Sale
In other action, the commissioners approved a resolution setting up a public auction in March for the sale of tax sale certificates for several properties in the county that are delinquent in payment of property taxes.
According to County Attorney R. Gordon Lord, the 14 properties in question are those that have already been offered for tax sale on one or more occasions but have received no bids equal to or in excess of the minimum sales price required by law. Due to this issue, Lord noted that the Elkhart County Board of Commissioners has agreed to sell the properties at auction at a significantly reduced price in an attempt to get the properties back on the tax rolls.
The date for the public auction has currently been set for 10 a.m. March 4.

Keep going! Good AAR!
Pleasure to read. It seems that Narwhal is enlarging his advantage, capturing Niagara and having that humongous army in Albany... I wonder if 1756 will indeed turn out to be France's apogee. Still, no- one does the burning and looting like the French-allied natives!
The delight of the game is it is beautifully pared down - no economics, no politics, vestigial supply and reinforcement systems, so its all about working out how to manouvre across half a continent with the two armies separated by wilderness ... and that are completely asymetric in their strengths.
& yes, putting Perfiduous Albion in its place is always fun (as you can gather from our respective locations -- we've swapped sides so to speak)
Well if you really wish to know who is the brutal aggressor in this war ... these two turns contain all the evidence you ever need to be shown.
In December, a group of Couriers and Indians pay a friendly visit to Fort St George ... and are violently rebuffed:
As to this, well there are my Indians snug and asleep for the winter and ...
And in the South, the English plan more of the same:
Even worse my mobile force is recovering organisation to the north and can't intervene till its recovered ... I fear for the worst
In January, the English try to do their worst but fortunately they fail for some reason
In this picture note those coastal cities ... I have plans to take them in revenge later on.
Obviously up in Canada everyone is in bed, and we both seem to be gathering reinforcements.
& I need to come up with some sort of plan for 1757 ... which is meant to be the last year I have any real chance.
The war side is already dense - adding economics and politics would make unbearable.The delight of the game is it is beautifully pared down - no economics, no politics, vestigial supply and reinforcement systems, so its all about working out how to manouvre across half a continent with the two armies separated by wilderness ... and that are completely asymetric in their strengths.
You Scots don't mind kicking some English anyway, now and then& yes, putting Perfiduous Albion in its place is always fun (as you can gather from our respective locations -- we've swapped sides so to speak)
Duquesne and Niagara were strategical. Their loss is a setback for the French cause en Amérique. I hope you have some good plans This winter was a bit too cold.we do not burn and loot as such ... more things happen when we are around ... think of them as badly misunderstood teenagers. But yes, Narwhal has built quite an advantage in the Niagara-Duquesne sector ... and it gets worse ...
CoT today, gone tomorrow
A saying. Or so they say
EU3 AAR: Two lions and a yellow background (MPM)
I do prefer the PBEM system to on-line MP, it doesn't cut into the thinking time, it just means you know your opponent is capable of all sorts of tricky stunts.
Niagara is still contested, & remains so all the way through 1758, and I have a plan if not to retake Duquesne then at least to cut its supply lines.
The defeats are wee teasers, designed to confuse Narwhal into thinking he is winning ...
Due to the ongoing war in the south, these turns were actually pretty active. So I'll cover the main events (including my heroic defense of lots of innocent Indians from marauding bloodthirsty English) and then a discussion of the broad outlines of what I was trying to achieve across the rest of this year. I'll be a little vague in the details as the same basic plan is serving me in 1758 too.
Anyway, when we left, you were all worried about the fate of my poor Indians at Ocmulgee who were about to become the innocent victims of yet more English nastiness ... well, the day was saved:
with a heroic victory, I think Narwhal's militiamen became bored and went home.
We both carry on receiving more militia. I've a general with the 'militia training' trait, so I've created a force with all these units and he's steadily converting them to regulars ... who then join the heroic Montcalm to keep the English out of New France.
Now after the miracle of Ocmulgee, I decide its time to take revenge on Atlanta. Ideally I'd leave that stack to recover organisation but I know that Narwhal's evil killers are also disorganised, so it seems worth the gamble.
Now ... whats this you cry?
First note that the heroic hamlet of Pontoosuck flies the French Flag in defiance of Perfidious Albion ... well done chaps, we salute your dedication (& are rather unsure why you're doing it)
But the relevant bit is these are the couriers that have been operating in the North East, they'll slip through the English held region and join up with some other Courier units and some Indians ... we'll have another go at Fort Cumberland, hopefully Narwhal may have stripped the garrison or pressed on from Duquesne.
well my attempt at Atlanta failed (not really a surprise) so I'll back off reorganise and wait for the local tribes to perk up for the summer fun.
I expect St Jean to fall fairly quickly. The garrison was badly reduced and is quite vulnerable. If so Louisbourg is next and is key. If that falls Narwhal can land anywhere along the St Laurence - a direct threat to Quebec and Mont Royal. So I'm building it up a little, including spare supplies, more guns and a few extra battalions.
As I learn later, much to my shock, a force that is besieged and has no supply left, may surrender out of hand. I can't afford that at Louisbourg. It will fall at some stage but I'd rather keep it well into 1759 if I can.
So a bit of discussion of strategy. I in effect have 3 broad plans.
In the south, carry on being annoying, and bring up (by sea transport) a couple of regular battalions I have in Mobile and New Orleans, to add to the Indians and Couriers. If I get lucky, this could be quite a threat as it has the power to actually take places like Atlanta as opposed to just burning down the small forts.
Around Duquesne, theres not much I can do directly, but I can still snip away at Narwhal's supply lines, which is what I'll try.
In Canada, there are now 3 threats to me. The English forts on Lake Ontario, the army at Albany and the threat on the East coast.
What I'm going to do is scout aggresively and I have a large force with lots of Bateaux with Montcalm at Mont Royal. If Narwhal leaves one of his bases weakly held to move onto my territory, I'll go for his rear area (I have a large group of Indians & Couriers lurking in the region too), and then move back to defend my own. Even if I face a co-ordinated attack, my plan is to lash back at the weakest columns.
The problem is sooner or later Louisbourg will fall, but till then I think I can hold the current front around Ontario-Champlain.

How strong are your forces around New Orleans?
What about the Caribbean holdings?
CoT today, gone tomorrow
A saying. Or so they say
EU3 AAR: Two lions and a yellow background (MPM)
I've been shuffling units around (esp the Couriers), so my mobile force in the south is 3 bns of regulars (1 I managed to slip down past Narwhal's navy off New England), 3-4 units of couriers and 6-7 Indian bands. My problem at the start of 1757 is most of the latter are run down from the constant battles in 1756 ... so I send them off for R&R in Mobile to recover. The prize is Charleston as if I take that Narwhal's VPs and NM dip (& as in other AGEOD games lower NM affects your combat ability). The problem is its not a powerful enough force to take & hold cities (if I start leaving garrisons it'll be dispersed to uselessness), so the key is to try and grab a few smaller cities as a base and then abandon them when I move on (did someone mention matches?). I have one go at sneaking both a supply wagon and a unit of artillery down there, but they get intercepted so I had to run off back to Quebec with them. Pity as that really would have made a difference.
The pity was I could have set all this up in 1755-6 if I'd realised the possibilities, but I think with some luck and a bit of judicious redeployment you can form up a useful distraction in the region - if the English don't respond they could find themselves losing something valuable, if they do respond, well thats key formations not pressing on Canada for another campaigning season (which are short, especially for regular forces).
December 1756– January 1757 – Frozen battlefields
I wanted to do December – March, but I am going to adjust my AAR to Loki's
So obviously, not much happen.
That's December '57 – every is frozen and there is no move at all
And that's January. Still pretty cold up there :
In December 56, though, I wiped you the pretentious Indian village of Mingo. Less war criminals nearby :
In the South, though, my attempts to destroy the village of Ocmulgee is a failure after a short skirmish.
6 against 1 and not one savage dead. Talk about efficiency…
That's pretty much all.
February – March 1757 – Preparing for 1757
1757 is a bit more active.
While the weather is good in February, I prefer not to move, as March can be quite cold :
In March, the weather proves to be stable :
It is time to start to plan for 1757.
Here is my plan on the main front :
With a fleet on the Ontario, I can now land on Fort Frontenac… or directly in Montréal if I feel lucky. I believe I can muster about twice the force the French has, but I cannot attack with such a force :
- It would be too slow and impossible to supply if I take the land route along the Champlain to Montréal.
- I have a limited boat capacity on the Ontario, not mentioning not enough supply at Oswego for now.
Thus, my plan is to split my force in two and attack along bothaxis, or more accurately, attack where my scouts say there is no French. I will most surely take at least one objective. I don't expect to take Montréal yet, but if left undefended...
I also plan to build a Fort at Niagara, to have a network of Fort along the lakes connecting Duquesne to Albany.
Here is the forces I should commit :
- The forces in Oswego – but most will stay in defense :
- The reinforcements for the Ontario
- The troops earmarked for the Champlain front
Speaking of Fort Duquesne, I will show you my strategy there, but first let's talk about some reinforcements I received :
The generals are not so good, but the soldiers are the best Regulars I will ever get. They actually arrived in 1756, but they were locked until early 1757.
These troops will move to Duquesne, where they will form the main striking force.
Here is the plan in Duquesne :
As you can see, I won't move before the King's Rifles arrive in the area – but my target are fairly limited anyway. I expect to take Fort LeBoeuf and not destroy it, too.
The plan on Saint-Jean is more obvious :
Finally, in the South, I decide to put a full stop at the savage depredations on our beautiful country. I fetched troops from the Caribbean :
They arrive in March 1757, eager for battle :
Just in time, as the French attempted a daring at Augusta !
Where will their impudence stop ?

The War of 1812 - or how I burned down Washington
I can run these two turns together as in both I was more engaged in preparations than any action.
First some more reinforcements:
Now that new battalion in the West Indies plus an active battalion at Mobile gives me some options (I wish I'd known that Narwhal had stripped Jamaica of its garrison as I could have take that for the fun of it).
Any, first stage is to recruit even more Indians:
The key is you can unlock the Indians by moving a unit with Power more than they have into the province at the end of turn. So the two that are already active can unlock the last two ... so thats part of the southern army preparing.
Unfortunately the unit of Couriers and Indians that has fought so many brave battles is a bit run down:
So go off to Mobile to recover ... where it so happens is a battalion of regulars and a ship. Now when they have had chance to recover, I start to see a plan. Indians from the north, couriers and regulars doing a naval invasion ...
By May, worst of winter in Canada is over. So first act is to set up my scouting network:
My basic plan is to sit at Mont Royal with a large army and lots of Bateaux. If Narwhal moves across Ontario I'll hit two things - his base at Oswego by a naval raid, and the force he lands by moving Montcalm and the rest.
My guess is he has the numbers but not the capacity to deliver them all, so I in effect have the advantage of a central position (which as ever is a posh way to say I'm surrounded).
Finally on Champlain, I beef up my two exposed garrisons a little ... they are probably lost but I'd like to keep them as long as possible and delay/do some damage.
Over in the east, herds of English thunder towards St Jean where my garrison prepares to resist bravely.

The War of 1812 - or how I burned down Washington
Great AAR you guys have going here.
One thing I'm really enjoying - besides the explanations behind the strategies both of you are following and the info on certain game mechanics - is that you're managing to convey very well the importance of the Time dimension , the way it constrains some plans and how it can be used for others (specially when defending). Seasons did matter back then, when planing a campaigns.
Despite me knowing that from basically every book I've read about the period, it nevertheless slips my mind whenever I play the game. WiA of RoP, for that matter - I'm trying to learn both.
Keep it up!
"Klotzen, nicht Kleckern" H. Guderian
"Little Jerry is lean, mean, peckin' machine!"
One of the things I really like about the AGEOD games is by stressing the importance of transportation corridors and key blocking points, you start to realise why so many wars ended in clashes in the same regions ... with large armies you have no real choice as to where you can operate. So in that sense, you're right they have a real feel for the way that space and time worked together in the wars at the end of the eighteenth century.
April - May 1757 – Good planning, and worse planning
I ll get over with April 1757 very quickly, as the winter is surprisingly bad.
As we say in French, "En Avril, ne te découvre pas d'un fil."
It is so cold that my transport will all the new militias recruited in Boston (which typically "produces" 50% to 60% of my total "recruit" force) is blocked in the port :
In March, I bought a new (small) fleet on the Ontario for 25 EP, as I am afraid the French fleet is a danger for me on it. It arrived. Here is what it looks like :
May 1757 does not see much more action, but at least I order more troops around.
Most of these orders are around the Ontario :
Three types of order:
- I am going to land a scout with my brand new schooner behind the French lines, to have a look at Fort Frontenac
- Meanwhile, some Indians will have a look on Montréal (I will do a Beginner's Corner soon on Patrol / Evade, to explain how it is even possible)
- I gather some Indians on Niagara, in order to attack Fort Rouillé and then Frontenac if possible. Indians move fast enough so that moving them by boats is not very necessary (and more risky).
Depending on my scouts report (due in July – very late in the year but the winter was really bad with all moves blocked until April), I ll attack one of the 3 objectives I set.
As for the rest of my territory, it is people marching to their destinations :
- Bouquet's force to Fort Duquesne. Expected arrival : July. One month to recover, action in August September October, then I will need to winter. Not good
- Mockton's force to Saint Jean. Moving by boat, so he should arrive in June, take Saint-Jean (july), load back in the boat (September), and be home in October.
- My Southern force at that "crossroads" between my important Southernmost cities. This way I can reach any attacked city fast enough.
Finally, and in complete discordance with the plan I set up two turns earlier (sometimes, I wake up with bright, new, ideas – uh), I decided to divert some troops from Fort Duquesne for an ambitious operation. I will sneak troops by bateaux down to Vincennes, where France has (I believe) no defense at all, thus creating a new "front" just like the French did in the South.
And also have some fun as no one ever fight in this area.
I mean – 3 months on a Bateaux with a skeletal force (I don't want Duquesne to be too weak)and mediocre leader to take a city of which I have no idea how strongly it is protected, right in the middle of Indian territory. What could go wrong ?

As the country looks at the relief efforts in Oklahoma, Illinois is training for the same kind of disaster. The Illinois National Guard prepares every year for disaster events.
In Lake County, destroyed cars are tossed around as if they were toys as they demonstrate what could happen if a tornado were to come through Illinois.
Fortunately, this is just a training exercise.
"Over the last 9 days, we've had anywhere from 12 to 16 hour days rain, thunderstorms, warm weather. We've crawled through rubble piles, we've cut through concrete, we repelled off of this really large tower here, sometimes going inverted," says Captain Travis Turner.
The soldiers also perform a mock rescue of a person, someone like a window washer, stuck on a line. Other soldiers simulated rescuing someone trapped inside of a confined space.
In this situation, a fire started to burn next door, so as a rescuer comes down the tube and the area is filled with smoke. They learn to work quickly to pull the victim to safety.
This is the second training location for the Illinois National Guard. Soldiers practiced how they would approach a home destroyed by a tornado.
The National Guard turned to the services of rescUSA, a company that specializes in urban rescue training.
"We train anywhere from their people that have been doing this for several years and refreshing them and taking them to the next level as well as their new recruits that they have within their unit," says RescUSA co-owner Tom Bentley.
It's this kind of preparation and team work that leaders feel will better prepare the state for a disaster.

text: So the season is upon us, and free agency is upon us also. I was thinking about this today when I was at work. What do you die hard hornets fans think about the team using the Amnesty on Emeka Okafor? The reason why I ask this question Emeka is making some big money, and don't get me wrong I love his defense but he is never going to turn into an offensive player. I think that someone like a Nene could be a much better fit with the Hornets. Also if Nene doesn't work out they could sign some more free agents. This team is in desperate need of a 2 guard. They also desperately need to sign D-West or Landry back. What are your thoughts? Looking down the roster Okafor would seem like best candidate to use the amnesty on if New Orleans even used it.

There's no need to give window seats at wide berth here, for Côte is a chain restaurant you won't mind being spotted at. The heritage paintwork, retro tiles & bentwood chairs exude Paris-inspired charm, even though its mini empire (from the folk who launched Strada) has grown to 30 (& counting). Côte's French brasserie menu is more ambitious than most high-street Gallic homages (few others dare to offer steak tartare for example) & the house's popular pissaladière, duck confit, & crème brûlée are better than many you'll find across the Channel. The £10-ish 'plats rapides' (perhaps steak-frites or moules marinière) arrive speedily, delivered by slick, smart staff. Côte is obviously no substitute for a weekend in gay Paree, but it's a good call for a 'pre-something' dinner.

MIKE SMITH, EUROEARS, WINNER: "I have to give Bob (Baffert) a lot of the credit. He told me to take it to them and put him on the lead. Fortunately I broke well, but I had to kind of put him there. Once I got him going he was just cruising. He's a great, great, classy horse. I knew what this horse was capable of because he has so much back class. I knew if I could get a clear lead, and at some point give him a breather, then go again, he would run well, and it worked. The favorite (Smiling Tiger) was acting up in the gate and didn't get away quite as good as he normally would have because he was kind of throwing a fit."
BOB BAFFERT, EUROEARS, WINNER: "I wanted to be on the lead, so I just told Mike (Smith) to put him on the lead because he likes to run that way. I remember way back when, he was always a really fast horse. He went nine and change from the gate here one morning. Mike did a good job, got him away from there, and got the lead. I don't know what's next; I just wanted to get through this. I'm sort of disappointed in Ventana. He's a bigger, heavy horse and it usually takes him a race to get going. He'll be much better going a little bit further. Bejarano (Rafael) actually got them both ready for me, and he had his choice. He took Ventana and I told him the other horse was faster, especially gate speed wise.
NOTES: The winning owners James and Marilyn Helzer, who also owned champion quarter horse Refrigerator, reside in Dallas, Texas.

Panama City commissioners are taking a strong stand against a proposed affordable housing complex for seniors.
Sam Johnston is from Arbor Valley development. The company was hoping to develop a parcel located just blocks from Siena Gardens for a similar housing project on 19th street and Wood avenue.
A feasibility study was presented to commissioners by Johnston answering ten of their concerns about the need for housing from adults aging 55 and older.
Johnston presented data to the board and in it suggests that Siena Gardens and the St. Andrews Towers are at full capacity and both are for senior living. Johnston was met with heavy opposition from commissioner Billy Rader who's ward the lot is located in.
Rader says his constituents are concerned such a development will be bad for the area.
"We've got so many vacancies in our city. So many homes in foreclosure and apartments available," said Rader. "Why do we need more right there at that intersection? That is my biggest concern.
"It's all about location, location, location.
At the next regularly scheduled commission meeting will be the second reading of an ordinance to allow the land to be used for such a development. It will be at that meeting that commissioners will be able to vote whether or not to allow the project to move forward.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Smiles and bear hugs filled the Children's Hospital of Illinois on Thursday.
For Valentine's day, River 97.3 radio delivered hundreds of teddy bears and other stuffed animals to the children.
The toys were collected through its annual teddy bear drive.
Seventh grader Taylor Larson made it her personal goal to collect 700 bears.
Taylor said she received a bear when she was patient and it really meant a lot to her.
She hoped to do the same for other children at the hospital.
"It is really scaring being in the hospital, even for an adult. So kids, you know, they want something that is comforting, something that can go with them to their exams. Parents can't always go in with them. So we just kind of wanted to think of them for today and give them something that is really comforting, and give them a smile," said 97.3 Morning Show Host, Jenn Smith.
Officials at River 97.3 radio said they hope to continue collecting teddy bears, so the hospital can distribute them year round.

Frequently Asked Questions
About the QF/CHP Settlement Agreement
- What new PG&E power purchase agreements ("PPAs") are available for me to sign?The new PPAs listed at this link are now available to qualified sellers:
- What options are available to renewable energy QFs under the Settlement?As part of the Settlement Agreement, a new standard offer PPA for QF facilities that are 20 MW or less in size (the "PURPA QF PPA") will be available. Renewable energy QF generators larger than 20 MW can seek long-term PPAs through PG&E's competitive Renewable Portfolio Standard ("RPS") Solicitation. Information about PG&E's current RPS solicitation is available at:
- If I sign a new PPA, will I need to sign a new interconnection agreement?Yes. Sellers who sign a new PPA will be required to sign a new FERC-jurisdictional interconnection agreement, unless the seller signs a PURPA QF PPA or an AB 1613 CHP PPA; in that case, the seller will be required to sign a new CPUC-jurisdictional interconnection agreement.
- I am currently on an extension of my expired PPA. When will my extension expire?Annual extensions to PPAs that were ordered by the CPUC will terminate on the date provided in the extension letter. Please refer to your specific extension agreement and, if you have any uncertainty, contact PG&E's Contract Management team at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- What options are available for Sellers whose CPUC-ordered extensions are expiring? And when should I sign a new agreement?The options are that are available to QFs that currently have "extended" PPAs are: CHP Transition PPA, CHP Optional As-Available PPA, and PURPA PPA, as eligible. In order to ensure uninterrupted deliveries, a new PPA must be executed before the expiration of the extension agreement; and, to allow for adequate time for a smooth transition between PPAs, PG&E encourages the execution of the appropriate PPA well before the deadline.
- I am not on a contract extension and my contract does not expire for a couple of years. Am I required to sign a new contract?No, you may continue to operate under your existing PPA. However, you may elect to sign a pro-forma "Legacy Amendment" but please note that PG&E is authorized to offer these amendments only through May 20, 2012.
- How will the new SRAC formula affect payments that I receive under my existing PPA?The new SRAC formula will determine your payments if they are based on PG&E's monthly posting of new SRAC as adopted in D.07-09-040. It will not affect the calculation of energy payments provided under the terms of a PPA or PPA amendment between a particular seller and PG&E, such as a PPA amendment approved by D.06-07-032.
- Is the Settlement Agreement now in effect? Yes. The Settlement Agreement became effective on November 23, 2011.
- How do I participate in the CHP Request For Offers? Information regarding PG&E's competitive solicitation program, including PG&E's first CHP Request for Offers (RFO), can be found under the CHP RFO page.

Teaching Pranayama
Ashtanga: Unifying Action, Breath, and AttentionJoin a workshop with students from different yoga traditions and you can pick out Ashtanga practitioners with your eyes closed. They're the ones who sound like Star Wars's Darth Vader even when they're standing in Tadasana. That's because they're practicing Ujjayi breathing, which is carried all the way through the vigorous series of postures in this tradition.
Ashtanga teachers say the deep and rhythmic breath fuels the inner energetic flames, heating and healing the body. Just as importantly, Ujjayi breathing keeps the mind focused. By returning again and again to the subtle sound of this breath, the mind is forced to concentrate and become quiet. "Since the Ashtanga practice is very breath-oriented, in a sense you're doing a kind of pranayama from the moment you begin the practice," says Tim Miller, who has been teaching this approach to yoga for more than two decades.
In the Ashtanga tradition Ujjayi breathing is taught in concert with both Mula Bandha (Root Lock) and Uddiyana Bandha (Abdominal Lock). This means that while breathing, the pelvic floor and the belly are gently drawn inward and upward so that the breath is directed into the upper chest. When inhaling, students are instructed to expand the lower chest first, then the middle rib cage, and finally the upper chest.
Seated pranayama practices are also a part of this tradition, although Miller says that Pattabhi Jois, the father of Ashtanga Yoga, hasn't taught it to groups since 1992. Today only a handful of teachers regularly teachthis series, which is comprised of six different pranayama techniques. These practices are learned progressively, each one building upon the previous, and are practiced in a seated position with the eyes open. Typically, they are only introduced after students have practiced yoga for three to five years, Miller says, and have mastered at least the Primary Series of Ashtanga postures.
"As Patanjali says in the Yoga Sutra, one should have reasonable mastery of asana first, which means for sitting pranayama practice you need to have a comfortable seat," he says. "Not that people necessarily need to be able to sit in Padmasana [Lotus Pose] for 45 minutes, but at least they have to be able to sit in an upright position where they can be relatively still." In the first pranayama technique, students practice Ujjayi breathing while adding a pause at the end of the exhalation, a pattern called Bahya Kumbhaka. Then they reverse that pattern and pause at the end of the inhalation, a pattern called Antara Kumbhaka. Once mastered, these practices are integrated into a single sequence: three Ujjayi breaths with no breath holding, three Ujjayi breaths with exhalation retention, and then three Ujjayi breaths with inhalation retention. Mula Bandha and Uddiyana Bandha are engaged throughout, and Jalandhara Bandha, the Chin Lock, is added only during the inhalation retention.
The second practice in the Ashtanga sequence combines the retentions learned in the first sequence into each breath cycle, so that the breath is held after both the inhalation and the exhalation. The third sequence builds on the second, this time adding alternate nostril breathing, and the fourth incorporates Bhastrika (Bellows Breath), a rapid, forceful, diaphragmatic breathing that's similar to the practice Integral Yoga calls Kapalabhati. The more advanced practices build upon the first four in ever more complicated and demanding patterns.
"I think a lot of people are scared off by pranayama, and yet personally I think it's the most important part of yoga," Miller says. "People spend all those years making a 'good seat' with asana practice. At some point I hope they're going to use it."
Iyengar: Developing Precision, Power, and SubtletyLike Ashtanga yoga, the Iyengar tradition takes seriously Patanjali's counsel that pranayama should be introduced only after a student is firmly grounded in asana. In this approach, formal breathing practices are separated from asana and are introduced in a slow and methodical fashion. Mary Dunn, a teacher in the Iyengar tradition who passed away in 2008, said students are ready to begin pranayama when they can practice deep relaxation in Savasana (Corpse Pose) with a calm and attentive mind. "They have to really be able to go inward and not just drop off into sleep," she said. "And they have to have a refined place where they can stop and simply be—not in an action or in the imagination, but in recognition of their internal state."
Pranayama is introduced in a reclining position, with the chest and head supported, so students can focus on the breath without the distraction of needing to maintain proper posture. Precise directions are offered to ensure that basic aspects of yogic breathing are well understood before students move on to more strenuous practices. True to Iyengar's "Come watch" approach, it's not uncommon to see 40 students fervently gazing at their teacher's rib cage, watching the instructor point to the precise area of the chest that should be engaged in any given phase of the breath.
Fundamental breathing awareness is introduced first, with students guided to observe the rhythm and texture of inhalation and exhalation. Ujjayi breathing is then introduced, first extending the breath on the exhalation and then reversing that pattern, lengthening the inhalation while exhaling normally. The belly is kept passive, and the lower ribs are activated first, followed by the middle ribs, and finally the upper chest—as if filling the chest from the bottom to top. Even when exhaling, emphasis is placed on maintaining an expansive quality to the rib cage.
The practice of Viloma Pranayama (Stop-Action Breathing) is also introduced early on. Here, a number of pauses are interspersed into the breath—first during the exhalation, then during the inhalation, and finally during both. Dunn said this teaches students how to direct the breath into specific areas of the chest, ensuring that the entire rib cage is fully activated while breathing deeply. "Viloma allows you to work on a piece of the breath at a time, and it also allows you to be more subtle in terms of placement, developing steadiness, control, and inwardness."
Once seated pranayama is introduced, Iyengar teachers focus on maintaining a balanced posture, starting out with a well-supported Sukhasana, or simple cross-legged posture, with the hips elevated on folded blankets. Specific breathing practices are introduced with the same methodical approach as when students lie down for pranayama, and in a similar sequence. Special emphasis is placed on Jalandhara Bandha, which Dunn says should be maintained throughout pranayama practice to protect the heart from strain.
At more advanced levels of practice, students incorporate Kumbhaka (Breath Retention) into Ujjayi and Viloma techniques, and are introduced to alternate nostril breathing. Mula Bandha and Uddiyana Bandha aren't even mentioned until students have reached the most advanced levels of practice. Outside of pranayama practice, Iyengar Yoga has a reputation for focusing more on alignment than breath, and often in a beginning asana class you won't hear much more than "Breathe!" But Dunn says the system attends carefully to the breath during movement, just in somewhat subtle ways. She points to Light on Yoga, the bible for Iyengar students, in which B.K.S. Iyengar offers detailed descriptions about breathing during the practice of specific postures. "There are instructions about the breath all the way through. It's the linchpin; it's in every pose," she says. "Once the shape and actions of the asanas are mature, form and breath merge," Dunn adds. "The breath in all its aspects becomes an integral part of the experience of practice."

- " Well i think that Alishan YAC is a little bit far away from the town center which makes traveling quite a pain especially when you want to see sun rise in the morning. It could probably take up to 2-3 hours in walking + train to Yushan. I'm glad they've upgraded my room making a mixed dormitory into a big single room. They serve excellent complimentary breakfast as well. If you like to see sea of cloud in the evening, you can do so just right outside the hostel at erwanping. "

Residents of Miami Beach, Florida, faced a damp reality in October, as astronomical forces lined up to bring especially high tides to the Florida coast. The Miami Herald has this report: ("Rain or no rain, beachfront streets flood due to 'spring tide'," by Philippe Buteau).
Driver Moses Schwartz was parking his SUV at the laundromat when the soggy ground gave way under his wheel, forcing him to call a tow truck, the Herald reports. "When tides are high, water also laps up against buildings along West Avenue, and sandbags are a common sight," the paper adds.
"In search of a long-term solution, a delegation recently returned from the Netherlands, Miami spokeswoman Nanette Rodriguez said, and the city will determine which of that country's strategies to hold back high tides can be used here," the paper reports. "Some of their ideas we can do, others we can't as we are in different geographic areas," Rodriguez said.

The high tables and the booths offer a more private happy hour and still offer great views of the game on one of the 21 TVs.

Gaga Master Class with Ariel Freedman
The Lewis Center's Program in Dance will present a Master Class on the dance style/movement practice known as Gaga on Wednesday, January 15 at 1:30 p.m. Gaga is a movement language originating from the belief in the healing, dynamic, and ever-changing power of movement. Led by Ariel Freedman, the class will begin tentatively at 1:30 p.m. in the Patricia and Ward Hagan '48 Dance Studio at 185 Nassau Street. The class is open to all Princeton students to participate and the public to observe.
Originated by Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin, Gaga is described as a way of gaining knowledge and self-awareness through one's body and is a major training method for Israel's Batsheva Dance Company. Gaga provides a framework for discovering and strengthening the body and adding flexibility, stamina, and agility while lightening the senses and imagination. In describing the dance form, Naharin notes, "We become more aware of our form. We connect to the sense of the endlessness of possibilities. We explore multi-dimensional movement; we enjoy the burning sensation in our muscles, we are ready to snap, we are aware of our explosive power and sometimes we use it. We change our movement habits by finding new ones. We go beyond our familiar limits. We can be calm and alert at once."
ARIEL FREEDMAN began dancing and choreographing at the age of three in her living room. She earned her BFA at The Juilliard School, where she was a recipient of the Martha Hill Prize. After graduating, she performed with AszURe & Artists, Mikhail Baryshnikov's Hell's Kitchen Dance, and David Parker and The Bang Group. She danced with the Batsheva Ensemble for two seasons and with the Batsheva Dance Company for three. She teaches Gaga and performs with Kidd Pivot, Motley Dance and Keigwin + Company.
