Janice was my art teacher at Shades Valley HS 1974-1978. We have remained good friends for 35 years. She was truly a blessing in my life and I know she is at peace. What a great person to know and call your friend.

I am so sorry about the passing of Jan. I got to know her at the Gardendale Public Library. She was one of our most faithful patrons. She always made us laugh and brightened many a day. She will truly be missed. You are in our prayers.

One of our favorite memories of the years we spent teaching, etc. is being in the presence of Jan Blount, an art teacher with a huge talent, not only for art, but for teaching kids about how funny life can be! The world is a lot less bright today without her, but Heaven is surely sparkling, 'cause Jan is there! Would that we could all be more like her....We love you, Jan....Ron and Linda Becker

Janice was a wonderful lady, with the best personality ever. We will miss her smile and her ways of making you laugh about everything. God has a beautiful Angel for sure. Evelyn & Sarah Charter Communications.

Janice was my art teacher at Shades Valley. Although I haven't seen her in over 20 years, just thinking about her makes me smile. She taught us a great deal about art and life, and kept us laughing the entire time. She was in a "class" by herself and made a big impression on my life. A great teacher and a good friend, she will be missed.

What I fine person that all will miss. After a life of giving, she now receives the blessing of being with our Lord.

I made this a while ago, and figured I might as well upload it here. This is obviously for good ol' Jan and Orin, the Gam Grimps. I'll be sure to actually make something soon.
excellent rendition, where did you get the ending audio from?
Loved this, it had just enough creepy and funny to make it worth watching. Series of this would be cool.
Do you mean create something like this, or more of this? I'm assuming you know I didn't voice this; this is audio from the Game Grumps.
This is amazing
I'm glad you like it! Thanks for becoming a fan!
A preloader would have been nice.
The animation was pretty smooth. And the sound really clear.
I don't know how to make a preloader. I could have looked it up, but I figured I'd do that for newer animations only. Also thanks for your comments on the animation and sound.

"Game of Thrones" Star Natalie Dormer Drops Her Top for GQ
Spicing up the April 2014 issue of GQ magazine, "Game of Thrones" beauty Natalie Dormer stripped down for a saucy spread.
Opting to go shirtless, the blonde beauty wore nothing but Emilio Pucci short and Giuseppe Zanotti Design heels for the Will Davidson photo shoot.
During her interview, Natalie talked about what makes her tick.
"I love going out of my comfort zone—I live to go out of my comfort zone," Dormer says. "Obviously, you have quieter years than others—you don't go jumping out of a plane every day."

You are the most courageous woman I have ever met, and I will never ever eat turkey again...bless you for leaving that darkness, and bringing light to everyone who are were you are. You are a delightful, brave, kind and incredible human being. Now I say this that you learned the hard way that losing your heritage can not make you lose the wonderful human being you are. May Grace keep you and bless you with the knowledge that you are the beautiful heritage from wonderful people...

Prayers and a big ole tight hug, Miss B. Please remember that your sunshine beams bright through the broken pieces. Your family and friends are here to support you.

I wish I was closer...I would come over with a cup of something hot to drink, and a plate full of something gooey and sweet to munch on, and we could sit and watch the turkeys from your window! Hugs from PA my friend!

Buttons, hang in there my friend. If you can, go out for a hike in the bush, take Leo, and just enjoy yourself. You deserve a bit of time just for yourself.

Dearest Buttons .. Ms. Turkey is an unusual messenger but how could one not have a huge grin crack open a sad face seeing and hearing her tell you "look at me !"
I'm so sorry about all the sadness you have had to struggle with .. but hopefully you will have more messengers with "hope and happiness" as the message to cling to.
Take care !
Joy : )

I am so glad that you have reasoned through your grief. I think that part of healing is so hard to get too. The part that is the most scary to me is when I can't get through it and just keep saying I am fine, then it hits like a dark pit deeper than I ever think I could go. It sounds like that Momma Turkey helped you. I have spent so many days in the dark rooms with Netflix. :) I totally understand what you are saying.
There is a old song by Carly Simon, and in it the lyric says, "there is more room in a broken heart" I have thought about that over and over. I have come to think it might just be true. I hope you are able to get your legs under you soon, and thank you for sharing. I would have never been able to have thought it out as well as you have done. You have had so many huge changes hit you at once. Hugs from me to you.

i wish i could reach across the miles and give you a big hug, dear. i know it's hard, but try to remind yourself of how wonderful your memories are, where many people are burdened by them. it's difficult to let go, but your broken pieces are now bringing joy and future memories to new families. your family is spreading the love it has created. and i think that's worth celebrating....thinking of you, sweetie.

Oh dear Buttons. Now I know why you were dug in deep on that couch. I think I would be too. Such a lot you have been through. I am glad you can still see so much beauty.

Buttons, hang in there. Sending along hugs in spirit and positive vibes your way.

Oh B...send love and positive thoughts to you. I know how it feels to let the couch consume you (I have had a similar day of it today). You have a lot in your head right now and I hope that one of those things is a knowledge of how much you mean to people...how much this blog means to people. You are so nice and it shines through every post and I am always excited to read that Buttons has commented on my blog x

Those turkeys can put a little smile on our faces, even if the smile might be a little crooked.
Hang in there. I just went through this with my grandmother and father. 7 years for my father. 3 years with my grandmother.

You've given a very poetic description of your journey. The metaphors you use describe the situation well. You've admitted a problem. From now on you put the pieces back together. there may be a couple of pieces missing but you will survive.

Big hugs to you B, you'll make it!

... all such beautiful comments above, and I'll just add that don't go thinking the time spent on that couch was wasted. You needed it didn't you. Got to have time out just for yourself.
Take care, we can't control what happens in our lives (mores the pit), but we can certainly do something about how we deal with it... and you've dealt with it admirably.
Good on that taunting turkey - brave little creature she was too. She was definitely a sign. Big hugs and I raise my best china cup to you Dear B :D)xx

Oh, Buttons, you have been through so much this past year. I hope the turkey talking to you is the beginning of healing for your. Remember the good memories and look forward to your daughter's up-coming wedding. Sending you good thoughts and big hugs.

That turkey was there for a reason, I am glad you told us why.

You have described your feelings well and just the act of sharing your feelings with us is a start to putting the pieces back together. I am glad the turkey brought you back into the real world and I hope like her you can hop over the fence of sadness and worries and join your friends who are waiting for you.

Buttons I am so sorry that you have been through so much the past few months. I am glad to be a part of your blogging family though and be a part of this community that you can confide in. I will be sending many happy thoughts your way my friend. We're always here for you.

Buttons I was just coming over to see how you were doing my friend (I was even going to send you a personal email , which I am not very good at I'm afraid) to let you know I care about what your going through .It sounds like your working it through and sorting it all out , taking a thoughtful break , as hard as it is ~ your working it through.
Nature is giving you little signals that she is there waiting for you when you are ready to soak up some of her healing energy. We care, we care, my friend . Big hug,

Life is no easy road to travel. It is good you are not alone on your journey. It is good you can write and then it is so very difficult. I know, I understand, and I am sending hugs as my word never will be enough. Hugs and love from me. Wet licks and furry hugs from Samson.

You've been through so much in such a short time my friend; and no one can be strong all the time. Forgive yourself for not being who you thought you should be (like you would forgive a dear friend for struggling in difficult circumstances) and remember that you are loved for who you ARE.
My father used to say that life sometimes breaks our hearts to make more room in them; I salute your roomy heart.

Dear B, I am so sorry you've had so much come down on you lately. I'm glad the turkey brought you the message of life.
Every time I visit the area where I grew up (I did so this past week), I end up depressed and sad at what has passed away and will never be again. My father is gone and my mother lives in an assisted living home in a nearby city. I rarely see my brothers or cousins, and I feel cut off from what used to be so life sustaining. Like you, I have to concentrate on building a new life, putting the pieces that fit from the old life into the new life.
Thank you, as always, for trusting us with your thoughts and your cares. Hugs to you.

I'm glad you listened to the turkey, Buttons. I'm so sorry you are feeling so low. I'm sending you cyber hugs!

You are a sensitive, caring and creative soul, Buttons. You will take those pieces and create a new picture - a beautiful picture, always containing the love from the old.

Leave it to the animal world to bring us around and set us right.

It's been a wonderful week for fans of blues-rockin' Strat masters Rory Gallagher and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Although Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may have come under fire for breaking their pledge that they wouldn't get married until all same-sex couples could marry in the U.S., one of Jolie's former lovers is hearing same-sex wedding bells.
Japanese American model and actor Jenny Shimizu, who once had a relationship with Jolie (who costarred with her in the 1996 film Foxfire), is engaged to her partner Michelle Harper.
Jolie is quoted as saying of Shimizu: "I fell in love with her the first second I saw her. I would probably have married Jenny if I hadn't married my [first] husband."
Shimizu also lists Madonna as one of her former lovers.
Here's one for the weekend.
Ukraine-based synthpop dance group Kazaky has released their latest throbber entitled "Pulse".
They're back to busting out their distinct dance style topless in their signature stilettos (which has become a thing in gay dance culture), along with fetishwear and police gear.
One member is missing (again), so they're down to a trio in this outing.
The Vancouver International Airport was recently named the most efficient airport in Canada. But does it have the best washrooms in the nation?
It's in the running for that honour, as it's been named one of the five finalist nominees in the fifth annual Canada's Best Restroom Contest.
It'll be competing against washrooms at the Calgary Zoo, Niagara Falls' Planet Hollywood, Niagara on the Lake's Shaw Club Hotel and Spa, and Toronto's Patria restaurant.
The contest describes the YVR washroom thusly:
The weather forecast looks a bit rainy this weekend.
That's ostensibly why the Fair at the PNE is offering free admission on Saturday and Sunday (August 30 and 31) if you get there by 1 p.m.
A PNE news release states:
The infamous Toronto-based website Ashley Madison, designed to help married people hook up with others, is launching a lawsuit against the South Korean government for blocking it in that country.
The Korean site of Ashley Madison was launched on April 1 but was shut down on April 16 by the Korean Communications Standards Commission.
Authorities accused the website of encouraging immorality. Adultery is illegal in South Korea.
It's a beautiful show this flower is putting on in an East Vancouver back alley—a limited run in fact that probably closes in a matter of days or weeks.
The intended audience however was nowhere to be seen. It's certainly wasn't me—it was bees!
Everything you see (and a lot of things you can't) is designed to entice bees to spend some quality time deep in this booming flower. It's the purest kind of sex appeal. The flower is appealing to the bee so the flower can reproduce.
Will pollinate for food
Flowers have two things bees want and need: pollen and nectar.
Summer doesn't officially end until September 21, but for many of us, it's really over by Labour Day.
That's because on the following day, classes resume in colleges and universities (if not in the K-12 system).
If you're looking for something to do this weekend, here are five choices:
Earlier this week, TransLink added painted queue lines to the 99 B-Line's westbound stop at Commercial-Broadway Station. The markings encourage orderly lineups while clearing space for wheelchairs, exiting bus riders, and passersby.
On Thursday afternoon (August 28), I got a quick look at them before hopping on the bus. As you can see, it wasn't busy enough to assess the efficacy of the "pilot queuing system".
But it got me wondering whether this should be the start of a trend. Are there other places in our transit system where we need to be told where (not) to wait?
Female filmmakers are getting increased support from the Whistler Film Festival (which runs from December 3 to 7) with a trio of initiatives that will help address the gender imbalance in the industry.
The WFF and the Creative Women Workshops Association are joining forces to offer, for the first time, the Women in the Directors Chair WFF Industry Immersion, a practicum for eight mid-career female directors for fiction feature film and web series.
The three-part immersion will include workshopping scripts with professional actors, meetings with industry experts, and mentorship.
The director application deadline is September 15 and the actor application deadline is October 31.

My favorite scary movies
I love a good scare as much as anyone. But I'm not a fan of zombies or vampires. The supernatural doesn't frighten me as much as the knowledge that an infinite number of human monsters walk the earth. Some of them might even live next door. My favorite scary films, then, are character studies of who they are and how they are made, »Read Full Blog Post(1)

TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears
The Minnesota Vikings were coming off their bye week refreshed and positive heading into the final stretch of the season, while the Chicago Bears were recovering from an embarrassing Monday night loss and wondering whether quarterback Jay Cutler would be in the lineup. Then, Minnesota went dormant in the first half of Sunday's NFC North showdown at Chicago and the Bears took advantage, motivated to bounce back from back-to-back losses with Cutler back in the lineup. The Vikings couldn't take advantage of their one early chance to seize momentum, fell behind by double-digits in the first half and couldn't recover in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Bears. Minnesota (6-5) is now two games behind Chicago (8-3) in the NFC North with five games remaining and still trails Green Bay or Chicago, Seattle and Tampa Bay in the race for a wild-card spot after a costly and disappointing loss. Five things we learned Sunday: 1. Minnesota's defense still has a problem on third dow...

Ok, now I'm back after my vacation I've been trying to catch up on things Purple, so here's my belated views on things..
Chad Greenway - good pick and I'm glad that Sims was off the board as I was having some doubts over him following the issue of concussions that was surfacing before the draft. Different quotes I've seen about him and from him give me reason to be optimistic about this choice - look forward to seeing how he looks in Training Camp and how that transitions to the regular season.
Cedric Griffin - always good to see some depth added at the DB slot and someone who can play CB or Safety could be a big plus.Classed as being a physical and agressive presence, so could help bring a little more swagger to the Vikes D which would not go amiss.
Ryan Cook - interesting choice and seems to have upset some fans with the slot he was taken at. I can see him being moved out to Tackle though will be the first choice backup to Birk. Potentially a good player which is needed with the OL rebuilding that is going on.
Tarvaris Jackson - now this has definitely had a few people groaning after jackson was taken earlier than expected. The biggest that I have seen against him is that he plays at a small school. In my view it doesn't matter where you play, If you have the ability then it will show up regardless of what level of competition you play against. Of course better competition will improve you and add to experience but that won't stop a good player coming forward if he has what it takes. At present the Vikes think he has the ability and I'm happy to go along with that.
Ray Edwards - well defensive line is one of our better positions on the team but at this stage of the year the extra depth is always welcome. Maybe the Vikes have an eye on bringing him along as a situational pass-rusher now that Lance Jonhston has gone back to the Raiders. One of those picks to file under " time will tell "
Greg Blue - seems to classed more as a run stuffer than being good in pass coverage. May be a good ST player but could see playing time on obvious running plays.
In all an interesting draft from the Vikes and certainly didn't pan out as many were expecting. Time will tell over the Jackson pick - given that Clemons, Croyle and Jacobs were still available to the Vikes in the second round then it could be considered a reach or an inspired pick by the team. If things don't work out then the blame will be put the way of Fran Foley I'm sure ..
Speaking of which can someone give me a brief rundown of what has happened with Foley? Some articles I have read say that he's been given the boot for clashes within the organisation, some mention his embellished resume being the cause and I also saw mention regarding some inappropriate comments regarding Tarvaris Jackson.
So anyone have some more definite info on this ?
Also anything else being going on that I should know about ?

Pours a golden color with decent carbonation. Aroma has faint hints of both banana and clove. Banana tends to stand out more. The flavor is quite smooth with more of a banana flavor showing through. Not quite as strong as Long Trail's version but it is quite decent. There's not much going on for aftertaste but I will rate this as decent for the style it's supposed to represent. The only thing I find lacking is the aftertaste but that is more of a personal preference.

Saranac have made a really nice Hefeweizen here. It has that nice Hefeweizen flavour along with some spiciness and banana esters. Hefeweizens aren't usually my favourite beers, but this is the best thing Saranac make.
A: Straw colour and a 5 mm head that fades quickly to sparse lacing. 3.5
S: Has that tangy grain smell you always get with a Hefe. Also, some spicy clove aroma. 4
T: Spicy clove highlights over a nice hefe base. Some banana-like esters in the aftertaste. Very nice. 4.5
M: Foamy. 4.5
O: This is a very nice Hefe. Well done Saranac. 4

Don't know why but I wasn't expecting much from this beer and was pleasantly surprised. Poured light straw with a bit of haze and a snow white head. Banana clove upfront much more prominent than some domestic hefes and a smooth, crisp mouthfeel. Some grain, spicy wheat and a hint of lemon make this really enjoyable. Wish I would of had this on a hot summer evening on the deck.

Poured into a pint glass in some hotel some years ago. Poured a somewhat pale golden color with white head and cloudy body. Smell is of bananas and clove with, of course, wheat, and the taste basically follows the smell. Mouthfeel is light, yet somewhat fizzy. This is a very drinkable beer and FX Matt needs to do a seasonal 6 and 12 pack of this.

A- pours a slightly hazy deep yellow. Small white head that quickly disappates and leaves very little lacing.
S- wheaty, bananas, heavy spices and clove. Very pleasing
T- crisp and refreshing! Nicely balanced spices with some banana and yeast notes in the background. Excellent.
M- light carbonation. Medium body.
Overall an excellent hefeweizen. A tasty brew without a huge price tag. I just wish this variety pack had more than 2 of them so I could enjoy more. A must try

Got this is the Saranac Summer pack, might be the best one in there.
Appearance - Goldenish and cloudy some what
Smell - wheat
Taste - wheat and the best Hefeweizen I have evre had
Mouthfeel - on the light side, not watery with no shortage of flavor.
Drinkability - very high drinkability, very good. Try this!

I was very impressed with this one. I don't like really astringent hefeweizens but the very mild ones like Widmers are not great either. This is a nicely balanced beer with the banana, cloves and astringency all prominently featured without being overpowering. Pours a cloudy golden color with a nice big head that quickly dissipates. The smell is very pleasant with the banana and cloves very apparent. The taste is very good, once again cloves, citrus and banana. Mouthfeel is nice and rich. For fans of this style, I'm sure there are much better examples but for this hop-head IPA lover, this is a good hefe. I just wish places like Bonefish, Atlas Diner and Red Robin had this one on tap vice Widmers.

12 oz. bottle with no freshness date. Brewed with winter wheat, 2-row malt, Tettnang, Mittelfruh, and German hefe yeast. It pours into the weizen glass a mildly-cloudy, toasted amber hue, with medium carbonation and an inch of medium-bubbled, tan head that leaves some nice lacing. Smells of banana pudding, lemon, nutty wheat, and hints of clove. The flavor is very much the same, with the addition of grassy/leafy/spicy hops that impart a mild bitterness, and some toasted wheat and malt that makes a nice addition. It has a light body with medium carbonation and a light and refreshing finish. Nice flavor and well-structured - one of the best from Saranac.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle. Sampled on May 19, 2012. It begins with a golden-pale yellow pour with a quick fizzy head that settles to a session-long ring and good carbonation. On the nose there is a definite banana and clove ester, both of which overtake the more subtle wheat. The body is light and on the smooth side. The taste ramps up the banana and clove with an almost citrus tart appeal toward the end. Altogether a crisp finish. This was had at the end of a busy day of yard work on an 80-degree day and it felt perfect for the occasion.

Poured from bottle in Weihenstephan glass and tasted from slightly chilled to room temperature.
Appearance: Decent head with a decent lacing. Coloring is a bit too transparent without the classic, amazingly cloudy hefe look to catch the light.
Smell: Nothing mind blowing, very light scent.
Taste: Tastes of banana which grows stronger as the beer warms. Stays true to the classic hefe style.
Mouthfeel: Light on the mouth without overpowering you with flavor. Rather low traces of carbonation while sitting on the tongue so not to overshadow the flavor.
Drinkability. Subtler, lighter flavors with a smaller amount of carbonation allow for a higher drinkability (more so as the beer reaches ~20C).

Can't say I've been overwhelmed with Saranac's beers as a group, but they hit the nail on the head with this one - spot on for the German style. Hazy and yeasty - nice nose and flavor of cloves and a bare hint of banana. Not too sweet, and finishes up clean and a touch sour.

Saranac's Hefeweizen has a cloudy golden color with a thin foamy head. The aroma of banana is very strong. There is also a hint of spice and wheat in the aroma as well. Its flavor is mostly sweet with very little hop presence. There is a heavy dose of banana and lemon flavors along with a wheat malt base and some spicy clove. All of this is wrapped up in a medium body with a smooth texture and a mild carbonation. Another solid offering from Saranac.

Pours a cloudy yellow gold in color with a massive 2 finger white head that faded quickly and left decent spotty lacing.
Smells of banana, clove, yeast, wheat, caramel, brown sugar, grass, coriander and spices; a really nice smelling nose.
Tastes of banana, clove, yeast, wheat, caramel, grass, hay, brown sugar, flowers, lemon, coriander, orange peel, light cinnamon and spices like pepper or floral hops; nice hefeweizen taste that is spot on for the style with a nice blast of the classic yeast funk at the end.
Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth, with light carbonation, a medium body and a chewy feel that trails off funky and goes down like water. A really nice enjoyable beer that I would have again, and a good American version of a German classic.

3.98/5 rDev +14.7%
Pours a pretty, bubbly high foam head but this dissipates to a cap in a minute and a half or so. Also, the color is less brilliant than many hefes and the sediment seems outnumbered by the carbonation. The nose is proper for the style, athough a little faint.
Taste is broad and satisfying with the requisite banana clove lined with malt and less numerous hop tones. Mouthfeel is smooth and clean. Dry enough to keep the flavor and lock it down on your tongue.
Not an exceptional hefe but tasty and reasonably priced. I would rate this the highest of all the beers in the summerfest sampler 12 pack. It seems like they kind of made up some of the other beers a ("mountain ale"!) and made a leap of faith on others but it's tough to make a bad hefeweizen.

Single, 12 oz bottle purchased for $1.50 from Super Saver in Somerville... Originally part of a Summer gift-pack from Saranac...
"Unfiltered wheat ale" on the front logo sticker...
Pours a hazy, and cloudy, straw-colored hue with a minimal frothy and foamy head that quickly receded and left a fair amount of lacing around the head of the glass...
Smell was very on-point, extremely sweet and bursting with citrus and floral notes...
Bubblegum taste with noticeable coriander, wheat, citrus, florals, lemon, and candy essences...
Creamy, sweet mouthfeel - not as thick as I was hoping for, but still pretty good overall...
Easy drinkability for a Hefe, with a modest 5.6% ABV...
Overall, not a bad stab at a German style from an American brewery...

Saranac Hefeweizen pours a little cloudy, even after swirling the bottle. It has a beautiful stark white head, though, and a great aroma of bananna, cloves and other things my nose can't identify.
At first I thought the taste wasn't that special. But after drinking more, I realize that this is a good beer. The bananna and clove character of the smell carries over to the taste quite well.
This is one of the better American hefeweizens I've had.

Record: 37 – 35 – 10
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Swimming in Jets' stream
It's all new for No. 1 draft pick, but he's eager to learn
Just last week, Jacob Trouba was a 19-year-old college freshman in Ann Arbor, Mich., trying to find a balance in his daily routine.
Those priorities usually involved, in no particular order, school, hockey, girlfriend, working out, buddies -- all the usual distractions/responsibilities that can consume a teenager's life from sunrise to sunset and all the hours in between.
So imagine the change, let alone the culture shock, of now being thrust into an intense, pressure-packed environment here in Winnipeg, where his new teammates are in a desperate push for a playoff position.
New city. New friends. New experiences. New role. And now, new digs.
"It's been busy, pretty chaotic," Trouba said Monday after practice. "My parents just got out of here yesterday and I moved into my billet house, so everything's going well and I'm just starting to settle in.
"The billets I've moved in with are extremely nice people. They'll help me as much as they can and do a lot for me, so I'm thankful to have them and have them open their home to me. Everything's going pretty well."
Asked if he had any chores as part of his new living arrangement -- vacuuming, cleaning, shovelling, etc. -- Trouba just grinned, then said:
"They're pretty nice. I don't have too much I have to do, other than keep my room clean, communicate and be on time for dinner. That's what we're doing."
And curfew?
"I don't have a car," he added, "so I don't think there's anywhere I'm going too quick."
Now, despite the pressures that may exist because of the hype surrounding the arrival of the Jets' 2012 No. 1 draft choice, there remains no timetable to get the gifted young defenceman into the lineup.
Instead, as GM Kevin Cheveldayoff stated last week after signing him, the decision to bring Trouba to Winnipeg is as much about the experiences as it might be about seeing him in action. It's about him studying how the pros operate, dealing with the media and handling the daily routine of a National Hockey Leaguer -- quite different than the one he had at the University of Michigan.
So getting settled in with the billets was big. And facing another media scrum on Monday was part of it, too. But just as important to Trouba's acceptance was seeing him pushed into the middle of the circle after practice Monday by a teammate to lead the post-workout stretch.
"It's just about fitting in," he said. "They've tried to lighten me up and keep me laughing. You can't be too serious out here, because you're playing hockey and you're supposed to have fun. They're just trying to make sure I'm not too tight and not too worried about what's going on.
"I'm just practising, learning, watching games and trying to pick up and seeing what I can learn from everybody out there. I'm just trying to get better. Everybody's been really nice. They've welcomed me here and have been helping me out as much as they can, so I'm thankful for that.
"It's definitely a little faster and bigger guys. But I think I can keep up and just try to blend in and not be noticed in a bad way. I'm just trying to go out there and do what I do. I'm just trying to do everything I can to help. That's all I can really do, because there's a bigger picture. It's not about me or getting to play, it's about this team making the playoffs. I'm just trying to do what I can do to help make that happen."
The bonus on Monday, albeit temporary?
With Zach Redmond having left for St. John's to pack up some of his belongings still there from his time with the IceCaps, Trouba was camped out in a regular stall between goaltenders Al Montoya and Ondrej Pavelec (on Sunday his nameplate was above a folding chair in the dressing room near a shelf that held the bubble gum and remote controls).
"I moved up from the chair, so that's good. I do (miss it)," Trouba said with a sly smile. "I'm sure I'll be back tomorrow when Redmond gets back. It's all part of being the young guy."

Tectonic Terrane Map
This map shows the eight tectonic terranes of the Franciscon Complex in the San Francisco Bay area, as well as the important San Andreas and Hayward faults. Each terrane is characterized by a specific history of rock deposition and degree of metamorphism.
Did You Know?
In 1776, Father Pedro Font wrote, "The port of San Francisco...is a marvel of nature, and might well be called a harbor of harbors...And I think if it could be well settled like Europe there would not be anything more beautiful in all the world."

While the prospect of saving some money to undergo a plastic surgery procedure overseas may be tempting, it should be a well-researched and completely thought out decision. It is possible; after all, that danger could lurk in the operating room choreographed by the physician who lacks the necessary skill and expertise to effectively carry out the procedure.
The cheaper prices offered by plastic surgeons in countries outside the United States can be quite alluring, especially if traveling to an exotic land and undergoing the procedure while on vacation. But in many cases, the overall savings most certainly do not outweigh the potential risks at hand when seeking this type of surgery overseas.
While any kind of surgery carries some risk, and most surgery also is accompanied by a recovery period, the fact remains that not all countries are as rigorous with their surgical requirements as the United States.
What does this mean to you? It means that some facilities in other parts of the world may not be as modern as those in the United States. The procedures may not be as clean as when performed by surgeons in our country, and foreign physicians may not be as skilled or educated as those here. All of this could mean serious complications during surgery or high risk of infection after the procedure.
If your plan is like many – to undergo the procedure while on vacation in a foreign land – you should be aware that you will most likely endure an extended recovery period, lasting several weeks or more, even for more minor, less complicated procedures. So, while you may be able to recover in surroundings favorable to your taste, you most likely will not be able to thoroughly enjoy those surroundings, as your body will need to fully recover first.
So if you are prepared for a long recovery, ask yourself if the savings of having the surgery performed overseas is really worth it. Take your travel costs and lodging expenses into consideration, and if you find that your savings will be minimal, you may opt to seek out a more qualified surgeon closer to home. Even if you find that the savings will be a more considerable amount, you should still be cautious. Surgery performed overseas is often not of the best quality.
Seeking surgery overseas also may place your support system at a great distance. You will be away from the love and care of friends and family members, which can take its toll on your recovery efforts. Additionally, the likelihood that you will get to meet and talk face-to-face with your surgeon more than a few days prior to surgery is slim.
Having surgery performed closer to home has its advantages. You will be able to know your surgeon and his qualifications visit the facility and see the care that they provide to their patients firsthand, and assure yourself that you are making the best decision for your health.

9 Responses to "The New People: 1969 TV drama à la Lost and Lord of the Flies"
This page has some additional clips and some more info on the development of the show…
I remember that it was also an attempt by the network to develop a 45-minute format for shows. It was paired with another 45-minute show (whose title I don't recall) that was an American Bandstand top-hits music show. The music show might have fared better if the top hit hadn't been The Archies "Sugar, Sugar" for week after week after week…. Both shows, as I recall, only lasted half a season.
The name of the other show was The Music Scene
Here is Janis Joplin on that show
And here is B.B. King
And the incomparable Little Richard
You know, it's a great, almost sci-fi premise, I can see how this got greenlit. But I am at a loss as to who, back then, was going to write it. Heck, if you updated it to modern times and made it Occupiers and/or Black Bloc anti-globalists, I'm at a loss as to who would write it NOW. You'd need someone knowledegable enough about those movements to write plausible dialog, but not so sucked into the movement that they'd write blatantly unrealistic pseudo-utopia stories. At a time when virtually everybody writing for Hollywood was a member of the GI Generation that these characters were explicitly railing against, writing decades after the HUAC purges, there was never a chance this was going to work. But I can see why somebody thought it would.
Wasn't Harlan Ellison writing stuff for TV back then? He might have turned in some fun scripts, if given the chance.
Tiiiiiiiiimmmmmeeee, has just begun!! Great theme song.
Most of the music was straight out of The Prisoner.
They're all dead.

American Repertory Ballet Discusses Stravinsky's RITE OF SPRING Today
January 18
12:30 2013
This spring 2013 season, American Repertory Ballet will present the premiere of Douglas Martin's Rite of Spring, set to Stravinsky's infamous score. At "Behind the Music", an On Pointe Enrichment Series event, ARB Artistic Director Douglas Martin and guest lecturer Maestro Michael Pratt will discuss this ballet's music and history. "Behind the Music" will be held today, January 18, 2013 at 5:15pm at Princeton Ballet School (301 North Harrison Street, above McCaffrey's Supermarket).
ARB launched On Pointe in 2010 to help make ballet more accessible to the community by offering free lecture demonstrations, guest lectures, intimate company performance previews, and panel discussions.
Rite of Spring was first presented in 1913 in Paris by Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. With a narration centered around pagan sacrifice and avant-garde music by Stravinsky and choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky, the ballet's premiere was shrouded in controversy. It was performed only eight times in 1913, and was never performed again until 1987, when The Joffrey Ballet restaged it. Martin was an original cast member of this monumental resurrection. In his role as Director of the Program in Musical Performance at Princeton University, Maestro Pratt has led performances of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, giving him a unique knowledge of the work. Pratt is also Conductor of the ARB's Orchestra for Nutcracker at State Theatre and co-directs the Composers' Ensemble and the Richardson Chamber Players.
ARB will perform Rite of Spring on March 23, 2013 at 8:00pm at Raritan Valley Community College as part of its In Full Bloom program, and on April 5, 2013 at 8:00pm at South Orange Performing Arts Center as part of its Viva Spring program.

Public school students head back to class today
Updated On: Sep 03 2013 08:31:06 AM CDT
Wisconsin's public school students head back to the classroom today.
Crossing guards & pictures on the front porch were familiar sights across southeast Wisconsin Tuesday.
Wisconsin law dictates that the public school year is not to start until after Labor Day.
The move was to help preserve the Labor Day weekend for state tourism.
While some charter and private schools hit the books earlier, the state's public schools opened their classrooms Tuesday.

This shirt description is something of a first for me, as I have actually found music I have heard about before rather than some garage band from San Antonio or whatever. Oh! Gravity is the sixth album from Switchfoot. I'm not exactly a fan, although they are not bad, but just impressed that I have heard of them. Very cool.
One of my all time favorite quotes (and yet I have never found the opportunity to use it in real life) is Gravity is a harsh mistress from the Tick. Of course, true fans will recognize it from the Tick comics rather than the TV show or cartoon. Not that those shows are bad, but the comic was the best.
Actually, I really do love the Tick comics. Where else will you find comic stories with names like Night of a Million Billion Ninjas or Day After the Night of a Million Billion Ninjas.
Also, it should be apparent that I consider villains to be the critical element of any superhero, and the Tick has some of the best. The Chainsaw Vigilante, the Red Scare, and Chairface Chippendale to name a few. Awesome. God I wish I could be called the Chainsaw Vigilante. Or Chainsaw anything. Just the word alone is cool.
Anyway, I digress from this shirt, but whenever I hear the word gravity I think about the Tick. Sorry, but sometimes my mind is like a freight train with a lot momentum pushing it.
All prices are in USD.

Stepped outside yet? The storm kept on giving and boosted metro-area snow totals to up to 8 inches overnight.
Driving conditions this morning are "fair" in the metro area, MnDOT says, after plows and sand trucks worked through the night to clear snow that piled up over 7" in some areas.
The state Department of Transportation website says driving conditions this morning are difficult to fair over virtually all of Minnesota. There were half a dozen spinouts and crashes reported just before 8 a.m. around the metro area as the morning commute unfolded. A minor crash on Interstate 494 near Baker Road in the southwest metro was backing up southbound traffic.
A crash was also gumming up the works on westbound Hwy. 55 at Hwy. 5 not far from the airport.
Meanwhile, spinouts were frustrating drivers on Hwy. 77 at I-35E in the southeast metro and at I-94 at I-494 a little farther east in the southeast part of town.
Early snowfall totals by the National Weather Service this morning were reported as:
Bloomington, 7.5 inches
Chanhassen, 4.5 inches.
Eden Prairie, 6.7 inches
Edina, 5.8 inches
Forest Lake, 2.5 inches
Granite Falls, 6.0 inches
Lakeville, 6.9 inches
Minneapolis, 6.0
Mankato, 5.0 inches
North St. Paul, 5.10 inches
Prior Lake, 5.0 inches
Redwood Falls, 5.8 inches
St. Cloud 4.1 inches
The National Weather Service said wind chills in the metro area today will be between minus 5 and minus 15, with a high of 17.
Clouds roll in tonight, with a low of zero, and wind chills between minus 5 and minus 10.
Looking for warmth? Monday's forecast predicts a high near 30, and Tuesday's forecast calls for a high of 35 degrees.
There were no delays at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport this morning, the Federal Aviation Administration said on its website.
Thursday's storm prompted both St. Paul and Minneapolis to call snow emergencies, which went into effect at 9 p.m. But it also revived the ski and snowmobile season across the southern third of Minnesota, which had lost much of its snow in recent weeks.
By early evening, Donnelly, about 150 miles west of the Twin Cities, had received 9.3 inches of new snow. Bloomington had 7.2 with more falling. Lakeville had 5.8; 4 of that had fallen in one hour during the afternoon. To the southeast, snowfall amounts were lower, but freezing rain was falling as evening wore on.
The storm prompted the University of Minnesota and the University of St. Thomas to cancel late-afternoon and evening classes, and shut down dozens of other schools and activities across the state. The Walker Art Center, whose free Thursday night programs are among its biggest draws, closed at 3 p.m.
Weather Service meteorologist Lisa Schmit said southerly flows of warm, moist air ahead of the storm -- the Twin Cities had seen two days with thawing temperatures -- added moisture and warm-air updrafts that produced the thunder and heavy snow. Thunder and lightning were common from Redwood Falls to the southern edges of the Twin Cities, she said.
Driving began to get tough early in most of the state's western counties because of heavy snow and high winds. In the evening, metro area traffic was slowed by spinouts and vehicles unable to climb slippery ramps onto highways, said Brian Kary, freeway operations engineer for the state transportation department's Traffic Management Center.
"It seems like a lot of people got smart and left early," Kary said.
St. Paul residents may notice two new features to their snow emergency. The city opened a Twitter account, at twitter.com/stpaulpublicw, to go along with mobile and e-mail messaging to notify residents of parking restrictions. And city public works employees will be ticketing illegally parked cars, because a private contractor quit the job.
Staff writers Bob von Sternberg and Chris Havens contributed to this report.

Owens & Minor Inc. (OMI) said its acting finance chief is stepping down, and will be replaced on an interim basis by the company's treasurer while the medical-products distributor continues its search for a permanent CFO.
D. Andrew Edwards, the company's controller, chief accounting officer and acting chief financial officer, will leave the company effective Feb. 7 to pursue a new career opportunity, the company said.
Mr. Edwards, who is 54, joined Owens & Minor in 2009. He became interim CFO in February, when James L. Bierman transitioned to the role of chief operating officer amid a slew of management changes.
"Drew has been a strong leader and a valued contributor to Owens & Minor during his tenure with us," said Mr. Smith. "We thank him for his many efforts on our behalf and wish him well as he pursues a new career opportunity."
Michael W. Lowry will become CFO and chief accounting officer on a temporary basis. Mr. Lowry, 50, has been with the company since 1988 and was named treasurer in 2009.
Owens & Minor has benefited from steady demand for its surgical devices and intravenous needles, though its revenue growth has recently slowed. The company reported in October that its third-quarter net fell 26% on acquisition-related expenses and flat revenue.
Shares closed Monday at $29.70 and were unchanged after hours. The stock is down 3.3% in the past six months.
