I'm headed back to N. Iowa for Christmas and was hoping to check out some place new on Friday. Has anyone gone to see if any ice is forming here yet? Looking at weather history, it seems there has been a fair bit of moisture before this cold front. Additionally, I was wondering if it is still expected practice to approach Dennis and/or the other land owner to climb on the quarry wall? Any other beta a new Wyalusing visitor should know? Thank's guys! -Mike
A good rule of thumb is that it takes three days of below freezing weather for S Wisconsin ice to form at the start of the season. Yes, you should talk to Dennis.
Too warm...I would bet $$ no ice. And the rock sucks there, so the mixed would suck as well. We need more than three cold days to get ice there. The closest place to N. Iowa with ice right now is Sandstone Minnesota. It is farmed and there is WI 2+ to WI5+ lines there currently.
It is possible there could be a wee bit of ice but it hasn't been nearly cold enough for nearly a long enough time yet. It takes a good couple of weeks of solid temps in the teens or lower actually as the water that seeps out of the perched water tables at Wyalusing is warm. This winter storm with all this wet heavy accumulation should help greatly to kick things off at Wyalusing. I am not making any plans to head over there and check out conditions until a week or two into Jan.. 2 Years ago we climbed ice there as early as Dec. 10th (if I remember right) and it was as early as I ever remember and the ice was great even that early. One friend was in Wyalusing camping in late November this fall and checked out the wetness level at both the RR Tracks area and in Dennis's quarry and he came back saying it all looked bone dry.... That's a bad sign.... We will see! Right now I am wasted from shoveling all morning... this 12+ inches of wet heavy stuff is just that.... I think I just lifted and threw 5000 pounds.... Dennis is a very gracious friendly guy but it is always a good idea to atleast stop in some time during a visit and say hello if he hasn't already been seen tool'n around. I don't always go say hello to him before climbing (or driving into park for that matter) but I make sure to thank him and perhaps leave the well loved (by him) 12 pack of Milwaukee's Best (or similar swill) Dennis's new quarry mate who now owns the other fenced half of the quarry is really nice 2 but you won't be likely to drive onto his portion of the lot so no need to ask permission from him for that but definitely before you wander over to the routes (if in) on his side.....
FYI- I was up at the quarry before Thanksgiving talking to the owner of the quarry- Todd. Dennis is no longer involved, other than still living in his trailer. Water flow was good at that time.
Ignore my previous comments... Todd must have taken over the whole quarry ownership? So Juggler? Does this change things yet for walking onto the property. Is Todd expecting a more straight-forward permission request? Has Todd up-graded the quarry like he has been saying in the past... i.e. running water over the edge? Just wondering.
Todd and I talked a few days ago and I ma waiting for a pic from him. he said it is slow to form due to too much cold. Will know more soon. Thanks Yes, he wants to know who is coming. Just LMK and I will let him know. Thanks
Wyalusing update. Routes on the tracks look grim with only a small sheet and not touching down by a long shot! Maybe with some warmer daytime air and cold nights it will all build up. Didn't look like much water dripping or flowing. Todd's quarry (Yes- no longer Dennis's) has two skinny pillars in the normal spots where Quarry Monster grows big from. There is a nice wider drape on the right side. A possible OK protected lead up this side. No ice of any note over on the right side of the quarry. Slim year so far.
Does anyone know what the current ice conditions are at Wyalusing? I'm planning to head up there next weekend...crossing my fingers there will be climbable ice. And is there a way to contact Todd?
Miranda. A few folks are headed over on Sunday this weekend from Madison area.. I will update this website on Sunday evening as to what we discover...
Burt, thank you!
How was the ice?
Hi all, Have not been to Wyalusing before. Hoping to head over this weekend from Madison and would like to avoid problems with access. Anyone else planning on being here or have recent ice report? cheers
I will see if Todd can shoot me a pic
My plans changed for last Sunday. I didn't make it over to Todd's quarry nor did anybody I know. Nathan... you shouldn't have any issues with access.... just stop in and say hello to Todd.
Anyone have some Wyalusing beta? Looking to possible head down next week...
Any info?
I am sure it is still there, but haven't personally check it out my self nor know of anyone that has lately.
Wass-up wid dat? Not a single person is willing to offer up current or fairly recent conditions on Wyalusing? OK.. I am definetely headed there this weekend myself... I am thinking all the recent moisture will be helping it... hopefully?
Ill be in Madison this weekend and would be down to check some conditions. I was thinking of the Turks Head Ridge as well. Should be in town by friday possibly thursday night. Let me know if you want me to join, Burt.
Hello Chad. Cool... I think Saturday is slated for DL anyways.. Rumor is.... some of the good ephemeral stuff that has shown up lately has gotten better even! I was thinking about driving over to Wyalusing on Sunday.
Here is the latest ice taken Today just a few minutes ago....
Gracias Juggler.... Looks grim but still climbable I guess.... Didja check out the RR tracks? Betting that's still looking slim too.
This is not the "climbable" I like.... RR tracks, no go

Trayvon Martin killer George Zimmerman's attorneys fabricate evidence
by Laura Savage
The trial of George Zimmerman begins today with jury selection. Zimmerman, former neighborhood watch captain, has been free on $1 million bail after being charged with the killing of Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, 2012. During that time Zimmerman's attorneys have launched an all-out war on Trayvon Martin's credibility as if the deceased teenager were on trial.
The defense's rationale is that the insinuation of Martin as an angry weed smoking Black teenager will influence the jury and the judge about his actions the night he was killed. It is the same tired stereotype that society attaches to every Black man, young and old. They are a menace and a threat to society.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Martin family attorney, Jasmine Rand of Park's and Crumps law firm, stated: "This case doesn't occur in a vacuum, and the manner in which we conduct ourselves as legal professionals has an impact that lasts beyond the Trayvon Martin case itself and has larger societal implications. A lot of the evidence that [Zimmerman's defense attorneys] brought forward is completely irrelevant, and it's a very clear attempt to assassinate Trayvon Martin's character publicly in the media by mischaracterizing certain evidence [cell phone text messages, drug use of the teen and school suspension history and a video]."
The legal team recently released a video, which went viral online, claiming that it showed two friends of Martin beating a homeless man up. In reality it was a video of two homeless people fighting each other over a bicycle – a purposeful and blatant lie designed to discredit Martin and paint him as a Black teenage thug.
And yes, Zimmerman is rightly being categorized as white. His father is white and he is given all the luxuries of white privilege when people see him in person and on paper.
Federal court Judge Debra Nelson has restricted mention of text messaging history, drug history and school records from being mentioned during opening statements. This doesn't go far enough because it leaves open the possibility of them being entered as evidence later in the trial.
Clearly, O'Mara and West are willing to fabricate and tamper with evidence to cast a better light on their client, and allowing circumstantial evidence that doesn't pertain to the case to be admissible at any time during the trial is an outrage.
O'Mara and West claim that they will only use the evidence if the prosecution attempts to attack Zimmerman's character. More bullying! Are they threatening to throw salt in the wounds of the teenager and his family if the prosecution does its job by highlighting the kind of man Zimmerman is?
He followed Trayvon Martin because he "looked suspicious." He didn't question what Martin was doing in the complex to clarify whether he belonged. No, he jumped to conclusions as many people do when it involves a Black male. They are automatically suspect.
So, if the prosecution dares to remind the jury of Zimmerman's history of over-reacting to people he doesn't know or mentions his numerous calls to police or the comments made by fellow complex residents about his obsessive and disturbing behavior – all of which are relevant because Zimmerman followed Trayvon Martin, not the other way around – then they will attempt to legally discredit Trayvon Martin to the jury. Hmm … that does appear to be a threat.
It's a threat that needs to be blown out of court by the prosecution. Trayvon Martin is already gone and his life was taken by George Zimmerman. There need not be any second guessing about reputation because the defense has already attacked it publicly.

"And yes, Zimmerman is rightly being categorized as white. His father is white and he is given all the luxuries of white privilege when people see him in person and on paper."
*Tsk, Tsk
So if a black person is raised by white parents, then it's ok to "categorize" him as white too? Isn't categorize just another word for stereotype? It seems you're asking the reader to set aside all consideration for Zimmerman's culture and color because it's easier to stereotype him as a privileged white boy.
I do find it wrong to assassinate Martin's character with trying to give the jury evidence that allows them to stereotype Martin, but it's wrong to ask the reader to stereotype or categorize Zimmerman as a white boy. The fact is, Zimmerman simply isn't a white boy. He has the wrong skin color and dreamed of being a cop. No privileged white boy wants to be a cop, being a cop is difficult and dangerous. If you really wanted us to stereotype Zimmerman as a privileged white boy, then part of that ignorant stereotype is that privileged white boys don't commit violent crimes, they commit white collar crimes. Allowing stereotypes to define the actions of an individual is dangerous, no matter the color.↓
on the cansus and on forms, latino people can mark "hispanic" as their ethnicity AND they can mark white, black, native american, or asian for race. those are the categories.
a person can be a white latino – like zimmerman.
a person can be a black latino – like zoe saldana.
people assumed his whiteness was WASP white, or non-latin white.
GZ is actually white. he is a "white hispanic" on the census.↓
^sorry, that should say black latina, like zoe saldana.↓
Barak Obama was raised by his white mother, and he was given all the luxuries of white privilege when people saw him in person and on paper. Also president of our United States Of America.↓
What does it matter that Zimmerman is white and not Hispanic, other than it got Zimmerman the privilege of walking around a gated community without anyone suspecting him of being up to no good – which by the way it turns out he was. The writer goes on to explain about Zimmerman's character and that is an issue and far more relevant to Zimmerman killing people and the writer says so.↓
We five k.k.k type white women and one pseudo latina person of colour not one African American on this Kangaroo court and jury of Trayvons peers… yeah right he wll be dug up and executed again in the good old U.S.A withe liberty and justice for all?↓
maybe african american youths should stop all their burglaries in the neighborhood and folks in the neighborhood won't look at them with suspicion.↓
Wake up people! Zimmerman had the right to be there with a gun. Trayvon had the right to walk around and look suspicious. Neither had the right to attack the other! If Trayvon attacked Zimmerman and Zimmerman believed his life was endangered he had every right to stop Trayvon with his Tec9. However if Zimmerman attacked Trayvon first I would believe he is guilty of Murder. Zimmerman has the broke nose and blacked eyes and bashed up head, Trayvon has only a bullet hole and a cut on his ring finger ( my guess from hitting Zimmerman's nose ), but I wasn't there…↓

It has been only seven months since Republicans put out a manifesto calling on the party to adjust its tone with ethnic minority voters. So far, there's been little progress to show for it. But I wouldn't count the GOP out yet.
Sure, Republicans have done a poor job of keeping the loonier elements from dragging their good names through the gutter — outrageous claims about drug-smuggling DREAM Act-eligible immigrants spring to mind.
And the gulf between mainstream Republican thinking and that of Hispanics keeps getting wider on the most sensitive issue — immigration.
As the economy slowly rebounds, Hispanics, nearly a third of whom believed as recently as 2010 that illegal immigration had a negative effect on U.S. Latinos, now feel less animosity on the issue, according to the Pew Research Hispanic Trends Project. Recent figures show that 45 percent of Hispanic adults say the impact of unauthorized immigration on Hispanics already living in the U.S. is positive, up 16 percentage points from 2010.
Then there are the much-publicized numbers about Hispanics' party perceptions. The Public Religion Research Institute's 2013 Hispanic Values survey says that only 12 percent of Hispanics believe the phrase "cares about people like you" better describes the Republican Party, while 43 percent say it better describes the Democrats.
But never underestimate the power of disappointment, disillusionment and disgust.
In Chicago, the Moratorium on Deportations Campaign (MDC), a coalition of grass-roots community organizers, has turned on immigrants' de facto national representatives — the large, Democrat-backed advocacy organizations that get most of the money and all the attention in the debate — claiming they are misrepresenting the current consensus on reform measures to the very people who will be most impacted by any changes in the law.
Calling the mainstream immigration reform movement a "scam" wrapping itself in buzzwords such as "dignity," "respect" and "keeping families together," the MDC says Democrats' efforts on immigration amount to a "giant PR campaign, a way to make false promises to immigrants, while pushing legislation benefiting corporate interests that need cheap labor, disposable people and a steady supply of prisoners."

Gering couple arrested for shoplifting scheme
Two Gering residents have each been charged with shoplifting over $3,000 in items from the Scottsbluff Wal-Mart store following their arrest Tuesday afternoon by Scottsbluff Police.
Court documents say Police stopped a car shortly after Wal-Mart officials reported that a male and female had walked out of the store with a 60" TV and left in a red vehicle with Wyoming license plates. Police say there were three people in the vehicle, including a woman who was upset and told Sergeant Phil Eckerberg that she was living in Gering with the other two people in the car and they had been stealing constantly from Wal-Mart.
Court documents say the other woman in the car, 26 year old Kari Gauze, indicated that she and her boyfriend, 36 year old Elwood Church, had just stolen the big television and a DVD from Wal-Mart. She said she pushed the TV out with a cart while Church kept a lookout. A statement from the Wal-Mart loss prevention associate and store surveillance video confirmed the theft.
The documents indicate Police searched the couple's Gering apartment and found two large TV's, three DVD players, clothing and other items suspected as stolen from the store with a value of over $3,100.

The Rangers penalty kill has been solid so far in the Eastern Conference Finals, and as they've started Game 3 with absolutely zero jump, they've needed that to remain the same. Luckily for New York, it has.
New Jersey attempted just one shot during their first power play opportunity of the game, which came thanks to a two minute minor on Derek Stepan for hooking.
New York survives, but they should, you know, probably start getting some offensive pressure at some point soon, or this deadlocked score isn't going to last.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
A- The beer pours a deep dark golden amber with a rich, fat, fluffy two-finger white head. Leaves behind plenty of white lacing as its swirled around in the glass.
S- The smell is dominated by fruity citrusy hops. There are strong notes of grapefruit and mango as well as notes of pineapple, tangerine, flowers and citrus fruits. A slight malt breadiness is just barely noticeable. Absolutely wonderful smelling.
T- The taste is very hop forward with intense fruit and citrus notes. There are some very strong grapefruit notes especially. There are also some buttery, bready cracker notes as well before ending with a bitter hop finish.
M- Well carbonated with a medium mouthfeel.
O- Very delicious! I cannot wait to try more of the beers from this series. I love english ales and Mikkeller did not disappoint with this one. Its unfortunate that this is not a beer that's not available in six packs because I would definitely go out and buy more if it were.

this is easily the best of yeast series 2.0. like all of them, its pushing an ipa, maybe not the best platform to examine yeast strains, with all this hops, but damn this is a yummy glass of beer. pours a red hued light copper color with thick haze and an active milk white head with outstanding retention. the nose is real hoppy, and the malt is not distinctly English. no caramel sweetness or dusty finish. the yeast does have an aroma, but its hard to place when compared with the crisp lager or the lighter American style. theres also a slight bretty funk, but that must just be ambitions nostrils. starts smooth and clean on the flavor and evolves into a very hoppy brew, bitter and dry in the finish. yeast as far as I can tell is contributing a breadlike vibe, accentuating the grains and cleaning up any sweetness so the hops can shine. this version does it better than either of the other two yeast series brews ive had so far. very very neat and tidy, no residual sugar. kind of redefines what I expected from the English ale yeast, something I might have to revisit in my own brewing. punchy carbonation of tiny bubbles, expanding in the mouth, and fuller in body. I could drink this beer all day everyday, its right in my honey hole. overall a wonderful brew, yummy and memorable, I like this a lot. wish it was a regular release!
edit: this only improves with age. the fruit comes out, the bitterness expands, and the whole thing is just lovely!

A: Pours a cloudy orange-tinged amber with a thicky, creamy whitish head. Head retention is fantastic and there is a better-than-average amount of lacing throughout. So far, I'm really digging the look of the Yeast Series 2.0.
S: There isn't a ton of yeastiness up front, which is a bit surprising all things considered. The nose yields traces of orange, lemon, leather, pepper, and tobacco at first, but then scents of bready yeast, crackers, biscuits, cream, and caramel become noticeable.
T: Notes of pepper, leather, heather, cream, lemon, lime, orange, grass, herbs, tobacco, moist earth, cream, caramel, crackers, and biscuits fight for dominance in the mouth. The finish is surprisingly brisk, airy, and hoppy with notes of citrus, tobacco, caramel, and biscuits joined by a bit of minerality.
M: Deceptively slight and incredibly dry. Carbonation is ridiculously intense-I think over-the-top would be a better way to describe it. To this point, everything was great, but in all honesty, this beer just feels weird. It's not entirely unpleasant, but it's not all that drinkable either.
O: Aside from the weird, overly intense, airy mouthfeel, this beer is incredibly likable. Fortunately, one negative trait does not spoil the rest of the package. Definitely worth trying, especially if you've been into Mikkeller's stuff to this point.

A: The beer is quite hazy yellowish amber in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high dense off white head that has very good retention properties and took a long time to die down, eventually leaving a large and tall pillow of bubbles in the center of the glass and lots of lacing down the sides.
S: Moderate aromas of citrusy hops are present in the nose—grapefruit seems to stand out in particular.
T: The taste is similar to the smell and the hops also contribute a light to moderate amount of bitterness. Hints of caramel malts are perceptible.
M: It feels a bit shy of being medium-bodied on the palate and has some crispness along with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I found this beer to be similar to the American-Style version of the series, except that it had a hazier appearance and the hops stood out more in the taste.

12oz glass at the Underground on a fine summer day, especially fine for one's birthday.
This beer appears a murky, dark apricot amber hue, with one finger of densely foamy, fairly bubbly beige head, which leaves a wall of pockmarked painted lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of softly tangy orange juice, mild earthy yeast, a further tropical fruitiness, bready, lightly caramelized malt, and a tame floral booze warmth. The taste is more zingy, fruity hops - mango, pineapple, and blood orange - subtle, but duly present green yeast, a wheat-tinged pale malt, a touch of white pepper, and floral, bordering on perfumed noble hops.
The carbonation is fairly reserved, just a wee humming edginess, the body on the lee side of medium weight, and mostly smooth. It finishes off-dry, the wheat-esque malt stepping in front of the tropical fruitiness, but to the same net result.
If it's only the yeast that has produced the delta between this and your typical well-made English ale, then that's something. The fruitiness well outshines the stereotypical yeast flavours, and the malt is sturdy in its own right. A tasty EPA, put through the Mikkeller experimentation wringer.

On-tap at Amsterdam's Beer Temple, on to the beer:
There's a slight glow to this faded orange color. On top sits a creamy white head which retains itself well. The aroma captures two schools of thinking; the fresh pine and grapefruit found in American beers, and soft buttery yeast found in English beers. The theme continues into the taste, which brings pleasant fruity esters and a ride of strong pine and aggressive resin which just stays within reason. It's medium bodied with a somewhat crisp carbonation.
An interesting experiment by Mikkeller which works. Now to try the rest of the yeast series to see how much it can affect a beer's flavor.

Tried against the American-style and English-style versions. Pours a fairly light amber gold color. Quite cloudy. Definitely the lightest color and cloudiest of the group. Not sure if that's about my pour or from the yeast. Head seems consistent with the other versions. Medium-sized, white, good lacing. Aroma presents the hops quite nicely but adds in more yeast fruitiness and a breadier malt aroma. It's sweet like the American-style yeast, but the yeast is definitely more apparent. I don't know if the doughy malt aroma is from the yeast or not, but it's quite nice and adds a touch of complexity to the beer. It does get in the way of the hops a bit, at least compared to the other versions. Taste is probably the least bitter of the bunch, and the hop flavor comes in somewhere between the American-style and Lager versions. Good dose of doughy malt sweetness. Firm bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel seems a bit softer but there's a touch more hop astringency, less than the Lager but more than the American-style. Interesting but I a tiny step down for me. The malt flavor is a bit nicer, but this is a hop-forward beer. This yeast seems to get in the way of those hops a bit more than the American-style version, nor does it differentiate itself as much as the Lager version. That said, I can certainly see the yeast working quite well with a different beer.

Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a frohy off-white head that leaves chunks of lacing.
Smells of floral hops with fruity notes.
Tastes of the floral hops with a solid malt base. Hops lead off with floral notes as well as some earthiness. This fades into the malt with a caramel sweetness and a bit of grain. Fruits come through and adds some berries along with apples. Finishes with a lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel is medium with a slightly crisp amount of carbonation.
This is a solid English pale which is worth a shot if you like the style.

11.2 fl oz brown glass bottle with standard gold pressure cap served into a Uinta pilsner glass in me gaff in low altitude Los Feliz, Los Angeles, California. Reviewed live. Expectations are above average; the other beers in this series haven't blown me away. Imported by the Shelton Bastards. 6.4% ABV confirmed. Brewed at De Proef. Self-identifies as a Pale Ale; I believe it's a Belgian Pale Ale - just simply brewed with English style yeast.
Served straight from the fridge. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: Pours a 5 finger silky beige colour head of nice cream and thickness, and great (7+ minute) retention. Body colour is a hazy dull copper. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show. Right on the money for a Belgian Pale, but there's nothing unique or special here. Still, I'm excited to try it and there are no overt flaws.
Sm: Soft inviting citrus - orange and lemon gush. Refreshing floral hop character. Some nectary hop character. Biscuity yeast. Pale malts. A bit grassy. Clean and welcoming. A mild to moderate strength aroma. No alcohol is detectable. It's apt for the style and I'm excited to try it.
T: A bit of citrus. Pale malt foundation. Hop character is mainly floral, but there's some light stale nectary hops as well; it's possible this bottle is a bit old? Bland graininess and grassy character runs rampant throughout. Imbalanced, with a bit of bitterness coming through. Not a whole lot of complexity here, but there's some subtlety. I like it generally, but I'm unimpressed.
Mf: A bit buttery. Smooth and wet throughout. Slight overcarbonation. Somewhat refreshing. Decent presence on the palate. No sharpness or bite. Suits the flavour profile in a general sense.
Dr: Drinkable and enjoyable, but forgettable. A pretty pedestrian Pale Ale, but I like that's educational about yeast. Still, at its current price point as an import, it isn't worth revisiting - you can thank the Shelton Bastards for that. A pretty good Pale Ale from Mikkeller, but nothing to write home about.

The bad news is that I'm shutting things down for a while, at least here on Going Five Hole.
The good news is you will still be able to find me over at Puck Daddy posting regularly each week.
I may throw up a post every now and then, but trying to put some quality posts up on Puck Daddy and finding stuff for here on GFH has become too time consuming and really taken me away from my daydreaming of Kate Beckinsale and Scarlett Johansson.
In all seriousness, blogging was starting to become a job and to avoid the burnout, I'm going to focus on Puck Daddy material for the time being. I'm not retiring GFH as I do plan to keep things updated and will post from time to time. Hell, if the Penguins keep playing like they are, this might evolve into my own venting space. We'll see.
Thanks for reading over the past year and a half and be sure to check out Yahoo!'s Puck Daddy where Wyshynski and I plan to take over the world. Also don't forget to pop in to GFH from time to time as well.

NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans boasts some of the world's famous restaurants, from Galatoire's to Commander's Palace to Brennan's.
Yet, when Ravens receiver – and New Orleans native – Jacoby Jones was asked by his teammates where to go eat upon their arrival in the Crescent City for Super Bowl XLVII, there was only one possible answer.
"Everybody was like, 'Where's the best place to eat?' " Jones said Tuesday, reporter's circling him. "I was like, 'My momma's house.' "
And so Monday night, Jones' mother brought in 150 plates and bowls of gumbo, jambalaya, potato salad, lemon chicken and macaroni.
But it's not the home-cooking that Jones was looking forward to the most.
He always imagined playing in the Super Bowl. Doing it in his home town? Well that's something else.
"Super Bowl? Yes," said Jones, who prepped at Abramson High School. "Superdome? That's a blessing."
If not for Jones, the Ravens wouldn't be getting that home-cooked meal and he wouldn't be vying for an NFL championship where he was born.
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound receiver got behind Denver's secondary with less than a minute to play in their Jan. 12 AFC divisional round game. The space his speed created gave quarterback Joe Flacco the room he needed to fit a pass into Jones' hands for the game-tying touchdown.
The 70-yard touchdown pass, more than any punt return or any other touchdown, is the greatest play in Jones' young career.
"It's probably the biggest play in my career," Jones said. "It happened at the right time. The o-line did a great job blocking for Joe and Joe let that thing go."
He added, "I see how shallow the safety was sitting. I just came off the ball hauling butt. I looked and I was like, 'Oh, I'm behind him. This is over with.' "
Jones caught 30 passes for 406 yards and a touchdown this season and had a 9.2 yard average on punt returns, including a score. His emergence has helped up the Ravens offense.
"He has been able to make some big catches for us, some big plays," Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell said. "He has done some things that you may not be able to see in terms of his blocking down the field. He's a tough, competitive guy. He has helped us stretch the field quite a bit and change up coverages that we see from week to week because everybody has to be concerned with him."
The play in Denver allowed him and Baltimore to reach this point, one win away from taking home the Lombardi Trophy.
While that may make some players stressed, Jones was anything but on Tuesday during the Super Bowl's annual media day event.
He was one of the first Ravens out on the field for the session. He walked from end zone to end zone, taking in the sights, veering towards the stands where fans greeted him with cheers, hoots and hollers. At one point, he stood behind the Poydras Street end zone, staring at the field and the painted Ravens design.
It's a far cry from where he was in early May. After five years with Houston, the team that drafted him out of Lane College, Jones was let go by the Texans. A week later, Baltimore picked him up.
Jones, for what it's worth, doesn't hold any ill will towards Houston, where he put up 15 combined touchdowns (11 receiving, three punt, one kickoff).
"It was fine," Jones said. "They molded me. I appreciate them giving me the opportunity to play in the NFL. It's all good. It's life. I appreciate it."
If that sounds a bit humble, it's likely because Jones comes across as such. In the offseason, he'll spend time living at home with his mother in New Orleans East.
Asked why he hasn't bought a house, he exclaimed, "I'm not buying a place. That's too much money. I'm cheap."
Jones signed a two-year contract with the Ravens in May. Another year like this one and he might not have to be worried about being cheap much longer.

A woman who claims she was assaulted by her neighbour in a dispute over property boundaries testified Tuesday she "still wants to make peace with this family."
But Lynn Burgess also told a provincial court trial that her next-door neighbour in Brocklehurst should "leave my yard, leave my kids alone."
Her neighbour, Mary Onufreychuk, 36, is charged with assault and theft under $5,000 after an incident with Burgess in March last year.
Burgess has been convicted in past of assault against Onufreychuk and on another occasion pleaded guilty to slashing her neighbour's tires.
"There's a kind of madness that goes with neighbour disputes," remarked Judge Stella Frame.
"It boils. People would never conduct themselves they way they would outside that dispute."
Evan Goulet, a Crown articling student, said at the opening of the trial he would call evidence showing Onufreychuk "was upset about small plastic borders that Ms. Burgess placed on her property line."
Burgess testified she was on her driveway at Ryan Place in late March rolling on asphalt sealant when Onufreychuk pulled up.
At first, Burgess said Onufreychuk said she didn't like driving around several bricks that Burgess placed at the end of her driveway while doing the work. Burgess said Onufreychuk yelled at her husband, " 'I'm going to rip those God-damned things out of there.' "
Burgess said Onufreychuk first hurled two bricks at her husband, who dodged them.
Burgess said her neighbour proceeded to tell her "these are mine" and ripped out three fibreglass dividers she'd placed between her driveway and Onufreychuk's yard.
Burgess said Onufreychuk then came at her, pushing her shoulders and knocking her backwards on her driveway.
The Crown alleges this action constituted the assault, while ripping out Burgess's dividers and carrying them to her own property amounts to theft.
But defence lawyer Richard Begin noted Burgess has twice been convicted of crimes against Onufreychuk. In cross-examination, he asked Burgess why photographs didn't show where she claimed to have fallen in the fresh sealant.
"There's not a single mark on the driveway — no dirt, footprints or mark of you falling," Begin said. "It's a tar that's just been laid."
The trial is scheduled to continue Wednesday.

No More Stolen Sisters: Justice for the missing and murdered Indigenous women of Canada
"There can be no piecemeal solution to a tragedy of this scale." – 2011 joint statement of Indigenous and non-Indigenous organizations calling for action to stop violence against First Nations, Inuit and Metis women in Canada
According to Canadian government statistics, Indigenous women are five times to seven times more likely than other women to die as the result of violence. The Native Women's Association of Canada has documented more than 580 cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada, most within the last three decades. Because of gaps in police and government reporting, the actual numbers may be much higher.
Canadian police and public officials have also long been aware of a pattern of racist, sexist violence against First Nations, Inuit and Metis women in their homes and on the streets. But government response has been shockingly out of step with the scale and severity this tragedy.
The pattern looks like this:
- Racist and sexist stereotypes deny the dignity and worth of Indigenous women, encouraging some men to feel they can get away with violent acts of hatred against them.
- Decades of government policy have impoverished and broken apart Indigenous families and communities, leaving many Indigenous women and girls extremely vulnerable to exploitation and attack.
- Many police forces have failed to institute necessary measures – such as training, appropriate investigative protocols and accountability mechanisms – to eliminate bias in how they respond to the needs of Indigenous women and their families.
A movement for truth and justice
Across Canada, families of missing and murdered Aboriginal women are being joined by supporters from all walks of life to honour the lives of all those sisters, daughters, mothers and grandmothers tragically taken from us – and to demand action. Amnesty International is proud to be part of this movement. Along with a wide range of Indigenous peoples' organizations, human rights groups, labour unions and faith communities, we have called call for a comprehensive national action plan to stop violence against women. Such a national action plan must:
- Ensure Indigenous women's access to justice, including effective and unbiased police response to all cases of missing and murdered women and new investigations of cases where police misconduct has occurred;
- Improve public awareness and accountability through the consistent collection and publication of national statistics on rates of violent crime against Indigenous women;
- Provide adequate, stable funding to the frontline organizations that provide culturally-appropriate services such as shelter, support and counseling for Indigenous women and girls and their communities;
- Address the root causes of violence against Indigenous women, including by closing the economic gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people;
- Eliminate inequalities in the services available to Aboriginal children, in particular, through the child welfare system.
The high rates of violence faced by Indigenous women in Canada is a national human rights tragedy – one that requires us all to speak out loudly and clearly so that government will finally listen.

According to Prisons Service spokeswoman Sivan Weitzman, while
guards were distributing packages brought by visitors, one detainee who said he
didn't receive an item he was expecting, punched the commander of the tent city
section of the detention center.
When other officers came to assist the
commander they were swarmed by a group of around 20 other detainees who began
attacking them, Weitzman said.
The detainees were eventually subdued and
the three lightly wounded officers were treated at the scene.

On Sunday, the Prisons Service reported that over the weekend a
group of 340 migrants from Block 7 of the detention center refused to return to
their cells and remained in a prison yard, saying that they were being held
illegally in the detention center and must be released.
By Sunday,
Prisons Service officers were able to remove them from the yard and return them
to their cells.

or policy changes in response to the events of this week.

Now by the time Jon Jones & Chael Sonnen meeet Alexander Gustafsson & Gegard Mousasi will have gone down, as will Daniel Cormier vs Frank Mir. For the sake of arguement, lets say Cormier & Jones both win as they are huge favorites. Gus vs Mousasi is a little closer but again for the sake of agruement im going to go with the favorite Gus. Bader/Glover goes down on May 25th, but winner would be behind Machida, Gus/Mousasi, & DC. So in this scenario Jon Jones would be left with these options:
-DC smashes Mir on FOX in front of 4.5 mil ppl
-Mousasi/Gus winner on Fuel in front of 200 k ppl max
-Machida, who is 2 fights removed from Bones stealing his soul & was not overly impressive vs Hendo.
Who do you think theyre gonna gove the title shot too? Its a bussiness guys & winning in front of 4.5 mil just a week before the person you call out wins will have the momentum & buzz of the fans, media, & UFC brass.
Dont be suprised to see a fall ppv planned out at UFC 165 or so looking like this:
Main Event- Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier
Co-Main event- Lyoto Machida vs Alexander Gustafsson/GeGard Mousasi

PHOENIX (AP) -- Two Arizona congressional races remained too close to call Sunday.
The hand-picked successor of former Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was ahead again in his race to win a full term in Arizona's 2nd Congressional District.
Results posted Sunday show Democrat Ron Barber pulling ahead of Republican Martha McSally by more than 300 votes out of more than 250,000 cast in the 2nd Congressional District race. The district covers parts of Pima and all of Cochise County. Pima County expects no vote tallies Sunday and Cochise County officials were unavailable.
Democrat Kyrsten Sinema has seen her lead over Republican Vernon Parker in the Phoenix-area's 9th District seat widen to more than 5,700 votes.
Maricopa County still has hundreds of thousands of early and provisional ballots to count. Pima County has about 33,000 to count.

Another Index classic. Godzilla technically has second and third pitches, but these are rarely climbed. Godzilla is the crack/corner system immediately right of City Park (5.13c), a fairly obvious landmark. Either start on the 10a bolt ladder of City Park and step right, or start over to the right and climb the face straight up to the crack system. Continue up the crack system and then traverse left along some ledges up to a bolted belay/rap station. You need 2 ropes to rap down from here.

Heather Gumbert and Rob Stephens aren't your typical residence hall tenants.
For starters, they brought their dog, Liam, to live with them in East Ambler Johnston Hall — with the university's blessing.
Second, they are not students.
Gumbert and Stephens, both faculty members in the Department of History, are founding faculty principals for the Honors Residential College at East Ambler Johnston and live in an apartment in the residence hall. The faculty principals oversee the very busy life of the multidisciplinary college. They foster meaningful and sustained relationships among faculty, staff, and students and promote a rich intellectual, cultural, and social context.
During summer 2012, they took time to reflect on the Honors Residential College experience, assess their successes and challenges, and plan for the coming year.
"We worked harder than we expected to, but we also accomplished more than we thought we would," Gumbert said. "And because we took on this role, people look at us differently — as people who are invested in their students and who are approachable. Doing this has made me rethink what I do in the classroom. Residential colleges give faculty a reason to cross the Drillfield."
"It was an intense year," Stephens said. "We're not just faculty principals, we are members of this community and it has made our lives richer. Our goal is to open doors and encourage people to walk through them. We want students to get a sense early in their college careers of the opportunities that exist and that they have an environment that supports their endeavors."
The residential college initiative at Virginia Tech gives student a chance to extend their education beyond the classroom through an intentional community that encourages them to take ownership of their experience.
"The residential college model gives students the best of both worlds: a large research university with world-class faculty and the type of learning communities you find in a small, liberal arts setting." said Caleb Keith, student life coordinator for the Honors Residential College. "We put the systems in place to let the students dream big."
"We wanted to create a 'culture of yes' in which students could participate in shaping their learning environment," Gumbert said. "At first, students were fighting against a box that wasn't there. It took them some time to get used to the idea that we were their allies, helping them to connect the dots to opportunities."
By all accounts, the first year of the first residential college at Virginia Tech was a success. Qualitative measures and anecdotal observations support the assertion that the 320 students in the Honors Residential College in East Ambler Johnston had an extraordinary experience during the 2011-12 academic year:
"All aspirations we had were met and exceeded," said James Penven, associate director of residence life, who is coordinating further assessment of the initiative. "This is what we hoped for. Much of it hinged on the role of the live-in faculty principals and their willingness to share their lives."
Penven said applications for the Residential College in West Ambler Johnston that opens in fall 2012 confirm that students are craving this kind of environment. "The classroom represents only one aspect of student learning. They want to actively engage in the community in a variety of ways and are prepared to invest themselves. We see a willingness 'to know and be known.' "
Benjamin Sax is assistant professor of religion and culture and faculty principal for the Residential College in West Ambler Johnston. Sax and his family will follow Gumbert and Stephens and will live in their residence hall.
Jennifer Quijano Sax, assistant program director for Education Abroad in the Office of International Research, Education, and Development, is Senior Fellow in the residential college. The Sax have two children, ages 3 and 6, who will add a new layer of multigenerational interaction to the mix.
"Our kids bring out the inner camp counselor in students," Sax said. "Even the purposefully ambivalent are wonderful. I think it will be good both for the students and our children."
"There is a rhythm of the community that develops," said Heather Gumbert, assistant professor in the Department of History. "It is one of the intangible pieces of evidence that indicates success.
"We are seeing the intellectual life of the Honors Residential College extend throughout the year, with continuity of newly established practices and traditions. We see students keeping in touch with their mentors and ideas being generated for new projects. I am very optimistic about the coming year."
Events that may prove to endure in coming years include the following:
Virginia Tech's living-learning communities help students discover their niche, find friends, and integrate their academic and social lives.
In fall 2009, the Students Engaging and Responding through Volunteer Experiences living-learning community launched. Since then, it has grown in popularity and recognition for its programming and mission to foster personal growth and civic responsibility.

text: I bought these for my husband because I love my pair of women's All Out Rush so much that I wanted him to have the same great experience as I have had with mine. Among other things, he uses them to hike up and down a trail and some stairs that lead to the Puget Sound near where we live. He said they work so much better than his old shoes that now he uses them for these hikes exclusively. This is his first pair of Merrells but I'm sure it won't be the last.

Sometimes I can be a martyr. We call it discipline. Or duty. Or being responsible.
Oh, it's not that I moan, "poor me" aloud. Often times I say very little about the sacrifices I think I am making. I may not even be very aware of the sacrifice itself, as it is just something that I "should" do in order to be a "good this" or a "good that". And then one day I find myself tired, over committed, looking for a new venture, or looking for the next way to do it "better".
Come on. You probably do it, too.
The comparison game is partially to blame. You hear of what someone else is doing as a parent, as a friend, as a Christian, and feel you should do it too. You think that you should be a good enough person (spiritual or otherwise) to make the same kind of sacrifice.
Or maybe you lead the way in sacrifices. Maybe others look to you for your upstanding volunteerism, or the sacrifices made for your children, or your difficult lifestyle decisions. Maybe you like it that way and feel compelled to maintain your "different" status.
"Isn't this what being a follower of Jesus is all about? " you muse. "To make sacrifices in his name? To give it all up for the sake of following him?"
Well, yes. And, no.
God wants our sacrifices, only if they are sacrifices that he has specifically asked of us. What He wants more is our obedience and the two aren't always one in the same. Obedience usually involves sacrifice, but not all sacrifice involves obedience.
Remember King Saul? God told him that he was to go and kill all of the men, women, children, camels, donkeys, and sheep of the Amalekite people for what they had done to the Israelites when they came up from Egypt. Samuel specifically told Saul to listen to these instructions.
Saul obeyed, partially. He killed everything and everyone except for King Agag and the best sheep, cattle, and lambs. In Saul's mind, he was 95% obedient and seemingly justified because he was going to sacrifice the animals on the altar as a thank offering to the Lord. Jewish laws suggested such sacrifices.
But partial obedience is disobedience with God.
And external sacrifices do not make up for pride within a heart.
And a clear word from the Lord always trumps religious "shoulds" and "should nots".
It is easy to get that all mixed up.
You could sell all that you have and give it to the poor, or give up your career to raise your children, or serve 30 hours a week volunteering, but if you aren't humble enough to do it God's way, it is worthless. And prideful. Yes, uncalled for sacrifices lead down the dangerous path of pride.
True obedience leads to humility for it requires an emptying of yourself, not merely your wallet, your time, or your dreams. We must be obedient to the Lord whether it leads to a palace, or to a cave. King David obediently lived in both. We must be obedient to the Lord whether we are favored by others, or looked at as strange. We must be obedient to the Lord whether it means we are asked to move to Africa, or to stay in the affluent suburb.
God cares less about what we give Him, or give up for Him, and more about our surrender to Him. It is doing whatever He asks, and in this we must listen.
"To obey is better than sacrifice" (1 Samuel 15:22)
The phrase "to obey" has strong connotations of hearing, listening, and then following through. It's not assuming that the way we have always done it is the way we should do it now. It is not assuming that how someone else is doing it is the right way for us. It's going to God each day and listening for the still small voice that speaks a personal word through His Word.
The word "sacrifice" refers to Israel's sacrificial system, but in some places is translated "thank offering".
The word "better" can also be translated "happy", or "glad".
Perhaps being obedient will make us more joyful than does being thankful. I know that when I am in the center of God's will for me I am filled with the abundant life that He promised. When I am just making assumptive sacrifices, life often feels hard and joyless.
I think sometimes we make things harder than they need to be. Will God ask hard things of us? For sure He will. But, if they are His ideas, He will help us succeed and they won't seem so hard after all.
To obey is always much better. Sometimes scary or humbling, but always better. It will make you glad.
Looking towards obedience,
To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices. (Mark 12:33)

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- South Korean President Lee Myung-bak is urging North Korea to cancel a planned rocket test.
He said in a news conference Sunday with U.S. President Barack Obama that the North's plans are a violation of U.N. resolutions and a recent U.S.-North Korea nuclear deal.
Lee's comments come a day ahead of a two-day nuclear security summit.
Washington says North Korea's rocket launches are a cover to test delivery systems for long-range missiles it hopes to mount with nuclear weapons that could target Alaska and beyond.
North Korea says it will launch a satellite into space using a long-range rocket as part of celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the April 15 birth of late President Kim Il Sung.

CATEGORIES Features, Discussion Posts, Movies We Love, Sci-FiWelcome back to the SciFi Squad Movie Club. You're probably well acquainted with our favorite weekly feature by now (or at least you should be, since we've been doing it for five frakkin' weeks, already!), but just in case you missed our last few movie club meet-ups, I'll tell ya everything you need to know one more time ... Every week, one of we schlubby, poorly paid nerd bloggers will pick a great sci-fi movie, everyone watches the movie over the weekend, and we all meet back here on Monday to discuss it. Sounds easy enough, huh? And maybe even a little fun and crazy too, eh? Of course it does, and it's only gonna get crazier, because this week's movie is ...
12 Monkeys (1995)
Who's involved?
Only one of the greatest sci-fi heroes to ever grace the silver screen, Mr. Bruce Willis himself. Brad Pitt and Madeline Stowe (Mmmm ... '90s Madeline Stowe) are also along for the insane ride, directed by visionary madman Terry Gilliam.
What's it about?
It's the year 2035 and a mysterious lethal virus has wiped out five billion people and seemingly forced the remainder of the population underground. Man's survival rests in the hands of the mentally unstable James Cole (Willis), a prisoner who volunteers to travel back in time to 1996 to stop the epidemic. Something goes wonky with the time traveling and Cole ends up in 1990, six years off his mark. He's quickly arrested and shoved into a mental institution where he meets Jeffrey Goines (Pitt), a cracked and babbling activist who may or may not know something about the origins of the virus. Cole also meets Dr. Kathryn Railly (Stowe), who he later kidnaps, falls in love with, and enlists in his convoluted mission to save the world.
Why should I watch it?
Lots of reasons. First, it's one of the most visually dazzling, poignant and compelling movies Terry Gilliam has ever directed, second only to Brazil which, you know, is a visionary masterpiece. Second, Bruce Willis is fantastic. He grounds the often-erratic picture with a raw and heartbreaking performance that lends the film a hefty dose of emotion and wit. It's some of his best work to date. And the story -- with its complex twists and turns, unreliable narrative, and emotional punch -- will blow your mind. 12 Monkeys is a crazy, dirty, chaotic, and ultimately satisfying sci-fi experience.
Anything else?
It's inspired by the short avant-garde French film La Jetée, which is composed almost entirely of black-and-white sill photos. (Rumor has it you can find La Jetée on the Youtubes.)
12 Monkeys shouldn't be a hard flick to track down, just look for Bruno's glowing red eye at the video store. Also, Itunes has it, and you can stream it on Netflix Watch Instantly.
Se ya Monday for the discussion.

PREFACE: Before we begin Sparks Watch 34, there might not be a Sparks Watch....36. Sue Favor had this to report on Twitter:
Rumor has it that there will be a big announcement tomorrow regarding the Los Angeles Sparks. Stay tuned here.— Sue Favor (@hoopism) February 4, 2014
If this is true - and Sue Favor has followed the Sparks for a long time - it looks we'll know something one way or the other by tomorrow.
I recall reading somewhere that there might be just 100 days left between now and the start of the WNBA season. Albert Lee wrote about the impact of the league being in limbo as to who will own the Sparks, and how it would impact the upcoming 2014 schedule. It seems that I can pick up where he left off by looking at historical opening days.
I am writing the rough draft of this article on February 4, 2014. This is the 35th calendar day of the year 2014. To go to the 135th calendar day of the year - 100 days later - would take us to May 15, 2014. If the WNBA season opened on May 15th, it would tie for the earliest date of a calendar year that a WNBA season has ever opened.
Beginning date of WNBA season, 1997-2013
1997: June 21 - 28 games
1998: June 11 - 30 games
1999: June 10 - 32 games
2000: May 29
2001: May 28
2002: May 25
2003: May 22 - 34 games
2004: May 20
2005: May 21
2006: May 20
2007: May 19
2008: May 17
2009: June 6
2010: May 15
2011: June 3
2012: May 18
2013: May 24
It appears that the 2014 WNBA season will open on May 15th at the earliest and about June 6th at the latest, if past history is any indication. Note that there is also the 2014 FIBA World Championship to deal with from September to October, and unlike previous season, it is doubtful that the season would take a break given how late in the year this is. This pushes the schedule to start at an earlier date, so 100 days might be correct.
So what needs to get done in the next 100 days?
* The CBA needs to be approved. It is possible that the WNBA players could decide to play without a collective bargaining agreement in place, but I see that as very unlikely. If the non-NBA owners open their books to the players, I suspect that negotiations would come to an end very quickly if things are as tight financially as we believe them to be.
Must Reads
Sparks Watch Day 33: when is the schedule?
With the Sparks situation continuing on into February, will this potentially affect the WNBA season's scheduling?
* Schedules have to be drawn up. More than likely, this has already happened. The WNBA probably has two or more schedules drawn up, with the only variable being what happens in Los Angeles. (Obviously, this impacts Western Conference teams more than Eastern Conference teams.)
* Teams need time to negotiate with free agents.
* The 2014 WNBA Draft takes place sometime in April.
* There needs to be some amount of time for training camp. More than likely, the biggest stars playing in Europe or China might not be back for training camp if their overseas teams go deep into their post-seasons. But this is nothing new.
* There will probably be a perfunctory pre-season, with each team playing between zero (!) and two games.
But as we've all known, there is a practical upper limit on negotiations (which have passed) and an absolute limit (explained above). There comes a time where you either have to fish or cut bait, and only the WNBA knows if the fish are biting.

AbstractCells – central building blocks of life – communicate among each other or with their internal organelles via complex pathways. The plasma membrane with a functional layer composed of lipids and proteins plays a central role in these processes allowing for selective transport of materials and signal transduction, respectively. When considering specific function, the focus typically is on proteins. However, driven either by the membrane raft hypothesis and/or by observations on lipid homeostasis under (patho)physiological conditions, the functional role of membrane lipids has become more and more apparent of late. We seek to understand the physics pertaining to the specific coupling of membrane lipids and proteins using well-defined lipid mixtures that mimic the plasma membrane and simple protein models. In particular, we focused on determining membrane structural and elastic parameters (membrane thickness, bending rigidity, spontaneous curvature, Gaussian curvature modulus) allowing us to predict, for example the ratio of open to closed states of ion-channels or the partitioning of transmembrane proteins into a given lipid environment. In this framework I will discuss our recent findings on the elasticity of liquid ordered/liquid disordered domains and effects due to the interplay of cholesterol and ceramide.
