In Winter the Sky / What the Sky Sees
Photo by Paul Stainthorp.
In the summer of 2002, Granta's Bad Company issue, which featured work by Milan Kundera, Arthur Miller, Gary Shteyngart and Edmund White, introduced a startlingly new voice: Jon McGregor. In his story 'What the Sky Sees', a young agriculture student from Lincolnshire is driving home after visiting his new lover, when he accidentally runs someone over. 'As the car hit him his arms lifted up to the sky and his back arched over the bonnet and his legs slid under one of the wheels and his whole body was dragged down to the road and out of sight.' Terrified of the consequences this will have on his chances of happiness, the man decides to bury the body and try to live with this secret knowledge, which inevitably takes a toll on his life and relationship. The story announced the arrival of one of the most significant talents of his generation, preceding the publication of McGregor's first novel, If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things.
Ten years, two novels and many short stories later, McGregor returned to this first published work in order to rewrite it from the female perspective. The result is 'In Winter the Sky', which we publish today alongside the original story so that readers can compare the two versions.
The opening paragraphs of 'In Winter the Sky':
He had something to tell her. He announced this the next day, after the fog had cleared, while the floods still lay over the fields. It looked like a difficult thing for him to say. His hands were shaking. She asked him if it couldn't wait until after she'd done some work, and he said that there was always something else to do, some other reason to wait and to not talk. All right, she said. Fine. Bring the dogs. They gave his father some lunch, and they walked out together along the path beside the drainage canal.
She knew what he wanted to tell her, but she didn't know what he would say.

On on the Granta Podcast this Friday Jon McGregor will discuss the process of redrafting this story and his enduring fascination with Lincolnshire.

But first, actors from the live fiction salon perform stories of desire and conflict from Granta's latest issue.

Short of creating physical clouds to hold people aloft, Mattress Warehouse stocks almost every imaginable furnishing to help customers catch a few Z's. Rows of name-brand mattresses from Sealy, Simmons Beautyrest, Serta, and Tempur-Pedic entice customers to replace their worn pad for new bedding, such as a standard mattress, a fluffy pillowtop unit, or a memory foam piece that conforms to bodies. Beyond mattresses, the warehouse also carries an ample collection of box springs, full bed sets with rails and headboards, and even premium futon mattresses that revitalize foldable couches.
Since 1969, the suppliers at Office Furniture Liquidators have beautified and outfitted bare office walls and classrooms with sturdy, handsome used and new furniture pieces. A lineup of stylish geometric couches and chairs infuse lobbies and reception areas with a contemporary flair, while lecterns and conference tables spice up conference rooms.
In addition to equipping start-ups and schools with new desks, chairs, and cabinets, OFL operates with a watchful eye on eco-friendly policies. They cut down on waste by recycling plastics and metal, and forgo landfills by renewing and restoring reusable furnishings.
Arnold Farms opened in 1970 as a simple roadside farmstand. Today, patrons find the same folksy service alongside gardening and landscaping needs sprawled across the shop's multilevel facility. On Arnold's upper floor, outdoor-living supplies, including pottery, potted plants, all-weather Cheetos, and more than 100 styles of patio furniture rest near a fully stocked hardware store. One floor down, the shop spreads out its mulches and landscaping supplies in a nursery that houses annuals, perennials, shrubs, grasses, and trees. Gardening experts roam the aisles to assist customers, and master landscape designers work with patrons to create beautiful touches or complete overhauls for existing yards of all shapes.
Professional sleep counselors facilitate peaceful slumber at more than 80 Mattress Discounters locations nationwide, where showrooms brim with mattresses from brands such as Sealy Posturepedic, Tempur-Pedic, and Space Age Foam. Unlike pet stores, Mattress Discounters encourages customers to lie on the merchandise, as sleep counselors use the Discover Your Comfort system to ask questions about sleep position and comfort level. With this information in hand, client and counselor select the right mattress for restful slumber, with each sleep surface backed by a 60-night comfort guarantee.

Johnny Rain - Mulholland Drive, My Abyss
Artist: Johnny Rain
Producer: Johnny Rain
Album: Lullaby of Machine
Avg Rating: 2.4 ( 5 total votes )
I've yet to visit Los Angeles but, based on the work of David Lynch, I have an image of Mulholland Drive as a street where eerie, unsettling sh*t happens to beautiful people. Tricky Stewart signee Johnny Rain does nothing to change that impression with Mulholland Drive, My Abyss, the latest single off his forthcoming full-length. The follow-up to last September's LLWH, this experimental, seven-minute cut finds Rain drawing on the full range of his musical talents. Over his own atmospheric production work, the artist recounts a love affair set in a louche, shadowy version of the Hollywood Hills. For this avant-garde burner and much more, cop Johnny Rain's Lullaby of Machine LP, when it drops on February 12, aka Valentine's Day.

Ebola, in full Ebola virus disease, formerly called Ebola hemorrhagic fever, contagious disease caused by a virus of the family Filoviridae that is responsible for a severe and often fatal viral hemorrhagic fever; outbreaks in primates, including gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans, and domestic pigs have been recorded. The disease is characterized by extreme fever, rash, and profuse hemorrhaging. In humans, certain species of the virus can cause fatality in 50 to 90 percent of cases.
Species of ebolaviruses
Ebolaviruses take their name from the Ebola River in the northern Congo basin of central Africa, where they first emerged in 1976. Ebolaviruses are closely related to species in the genus Marburgvirus, which was discovered in 1967, and the two are the only members of the Filoviridae that cause epidemic human disease. Five species of ebolaviruses, known as Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV), Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV), Taï Forest ebolavirus (TAFV), Reston ebolavirus (RESTV), and Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BDBV), named for their outbreak locations, have been described.
EBOV causes death in 80 to 90 percent of cases, and SUDV causes death in 50 percent of cases. TAFV, found in dead chimpanzees in Taï National Park in southwestern Côte d'Ivoire, can infect humans, although only two human cases have been documented, and both individuals survived. RESTV, which was originally discovered in laboratory monkeys in Reston, Virginia, in 1989, was also detected in laboratory monkeys in other locations in the United States in 1990 and 1996, as well as in Siena, Italy, in 1992. All the monkeys infected with RESTV have been traced to one export facility located in the Philippines, although the origin of the strain has not been identified. Similar to TAFV, RESTV does not appear to cause death in humans. The fifth species, BDBV, was discovered in November 2007 in an outbreak in Bundibugyo district of Uganda, near the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo; it causes death in about 25 percent of cases.
The first outbreaks, in 1976 in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) and Sudan (including what is now South Sudan), resulted in more than 400 deaths. A subsequent outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in May 1995 prompted temporary quarantine of the Kikwit region, and more than 250 people died. Later outbreaks in Uganda in 2000 and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2002 also resulted in several hundred deaths. Other notable outbreaks include those in Yambio county (2004) of South Sudan and in the Bundibugyo (2007) and Kibale (2012) districts of Uganda.
In September 2007 an outbreak was confirmed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo—in Kasai-Occidental (West Kasai) province, located in the south-central region of the country. However, while Ebola was detected in blood samples from some people that fell ill, other people were found to be infected with Shigella, the bacterium that causes dysentery—a disease whose symptoms are similar to the early symptoms of Ebola. As a result, although several hundred people became ill and more than 160 people died during the Ebola outbreak, it was unclear how many of the deaths were actually caused by Ebola. Less than two years later, in December 2008, a second outbreak of the disease was confirmed in West Kasai. Ebola had been detected in just four people by early 2009. However, another 42 cases were suspected, and some 200 people were under close observation for infection. Although 13 deaths were reported in association with the outbreak, samples collected from the victims did not test positive for Ebola.
In 2008, tissue samples from pigs that died of unknown causes in the Philippines were analyzed and found to contain RESTV. This was the first time that the virus was found in a mammalian species other than primates. Infections in pigs were unexpected and raised concerns about transmission of the virus from pigs to humans. In January 2009, antibodies to RESTV were found in five Filipinos, four of whom worked on pig farms and one of whom worked in a slaughterhouse. All five individuals were believed to have been infected with the virus through direct contact with infected pigs. The infected people were healthy and did not show signs of infection at the time antibodies to the virus were detected. In order to stop the spread of RESTV among pigs, Philippines officials authorized the slaughter of thousands of potentially infected swine.
A large outbreak occurred in western Africa in 2014, affecting people in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Nigeria (see Ebola outbreak of 2014). Roughly 2,500 cases, more than half of which resulted in death, had been reported by late August of that year. Though outbreaks were normally brought under control effectively through existing prevention and treatment strategies, the 2014 outbreak was complicated by a limited health workforce and particularly by misperceptions of the disease among some people living in affected regions, and public health experts anticipated the spread of the disease to other countries in Africa; there was concern that it could reach distant areas, including the United Kingdom and the United States, as a result of travel by infected individuals. On August 8, following a sudden rise in cases that severely compromised aid efforts, the director-general of the World Health Organization, Margaret Chan, announced the decision to declare the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern.

MANATEE -- After sending four girls to finals in the singles portion of the Class 2A-District 10 tennis tournament at State College of Florida, Bayshore head coach Trevor Johnson was confident in gaining passage to the region tournament next week.
On Wednesday, the Bruins did just that by securing a district championship with 16 points after two players earned victories in the finals.
Cailin Finnegan and Haley Donahue won championships at No. 3 and No. 4 singles, respectively.
"All five girls scored, and that was big," Johnson said. "All of them but one made it to the finals, so that's a lot of points."
Booker snagged second place with nine points, nipping Southeast (eight points) for the other region tournament berth.
The Seminoles had a chance to force a tiebreaker, but Finnegan and Donahue defeated Madelyn Kumar and Katie Yetzer, 6-3, 6-1, in the No. 2 doubles final.
That result, coupled with Booker's victory in the No. 1 doubles final, gave the Tornadoes the edge over the Noles.
Booker's Janae Wilson teamed with Jacqueline Landry for that title, which gives the duo an automatic berth to the state tournament. Wilson also will be going to state as an individual after she won the No. 1 singles tournament.
The Bruins will host a region semifinal April 8. And the success was due to the cohesiveness displayed between the mainly sophomore group. Only Donahue is a senior.
"They work hard, and they just have great team chemistry," Johnson said. "I think the winning was contagious. When one girl saw another girl win, it made them all want to win. ... Nobody wanted to let the team down."
On the boys side, Southeast finished with 11 points in third place. The two region berths were awarded to Gulfport Boca Ciega and Booker.
Boca Ciega won the district with 14 points, one point better than Booker.
Southeast's Jake Mattraw was the lone local on the boys side to win a singles final. He bested Booker's David Klos 7-5, 6-2 for victory at the No. 4 position.
Parth Patel, also of Southeast, fell to Booker's Joseph Haygood 6-2, 6-3 in the No. 5 singles final.
Mattraw teamed with Ryan Eberly to win the No. 2 doubles title with a 6-0, 6-0 score against Boca Ciega's Nathan Larkins and Richard Mannion.
The state tournament berths went to Boca Ciega's Dan Stefan and Nikita Goldenberg, who remained unbeaten at 10-0, in the No. 1 doubles final.
Stefan secured the No. 1 singles championship and entry to the state tourney with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Booker's Nino Coutelle.
That improved the senior to 12-0, and he's looking for back-to-back state championships after polishing off an unbeaten season last spring with some state hardware.

President Obama takes the oath of office on Jan. 20, 2009, as his wife Michelle, holds the Lincoln Bible and daughters Sasha and Malia watch at the... View Enlarged Image
On the night President Obama won re-election, he employed the same soaring rhetoric about a unified America that first won him national attention and that he's sure to trot out in his second inaugural speech on Monday.
He talked that night about how "despite our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America's future," and how he was "looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together."
He promised that "we are not as divided as our politics suggests," and "not as cynical as the pundits believe."
And he claimed that "whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you. I have learned from you." It was all so soothing and heartfelt.
But if you want to know how Obama will actually govern in his second term, forget about these well-crafted speeches, and pay attention instead to what he said at his press conference a few days ago.
There he made it clear for anyone with ears to hear that his goal isn't to achieve some kind of grand unity to tackle the nation's toughest challenges.
No. Obama's No. 1 goal in his second term is to do whatever it takes to destroy Republicans and win back Democratic control of the House in 2014, giving him two more years to enact his agenda without any GOP meddling.
America Held Hostage?
Republicans, he said at that press conference, are holding "a gun at the head of the American people," and are threatening either to "gut Medicare" or "wreck the entire economy."
He said Republicans are "suspicious about government's commitments to make sure that seniors have decent health care (and) have suspicions about whether government should make sure that kids in poverty are getting enough to eat."
He described the GOP position on the debt ceiling as "either we get our way a hundred percent of the time or otherwise, you know, we are going to default on America's obligations."
You simply don't bludgeon people you're trying to work with.
Next, consider Obama's actions since winning re-election.
Instead of living up to his campaign promise to focus on jobs, the economy and the national debt, he's pushing hugely divisive issues — gun control, immigration, global warming — or in-your-face nominees like Chuck Hagel.
Picking A Fight
On gun control, Obama could have worked to reach consensus on reforms that might actually improve safety, but instead produced an aggressive gun-control plan guaranteed to force a nasty fight with the GOP.
Obama barely mentioned immigration reform during his campaign, but suddenly put it at the top of his agenda because he knows he can use it to hurt Republicans.
His refusal to hold any talks over the debt limit makes little sense, until you realize that he hopes to force the GOP either to concede to his wishes — and alienate its Tea Party base — or fail to raise the debt limit and get blamed for any economic fallout that ensues.
Obama's decision to nominate Hagel as secretary of defense makes no sense, either, except that it will let Obama paint Republicans who oppose defense cuts as mindless extremists.
As long-time political observer Michael Barone put it, "Barack Obama begins his second term with a strategy to defeat and humiliate Republicans rather than a strategy to govern."
He's right. And Obama is smart enough to know that the press, always on the lookout for any whiff of Republican hypocrisy, will give him a free pass for being blatantly hypocritical.
The only question is whether Republicans understand what Obama is up to. Because if they still operate under the delusion that Obama actually wants to achieve consensus, bring the country together or do any of the other things he'll claim at his inaugural, they risk handing Obama the real prize he's after.

Microsoft Reveals First Wave of Xbox Live Titles for Windows Phone 7
Today at GamesCon in Cologne, Germany, Microsoft unveiled the first wave of XBL titles that will appear on Windows Phone 7, and by "first wave" I mean a TSUNAMI. SOOOO many titles! This basically makes your Xbox pocket- and/or purse-friendly as you can manage your lists, play games, download demos or other DLC, even earn achievement points all while whatever idiot you're talking to (your agent, pr, boy/girlfriend, whatevs) puts you on hold.
Marc Whitten, corporate vice president of Xbox LIVE at Microsoft, said, "We believe that no matter where life takes you, the best in gaming and entertainment should follow. Windows Phone 7 takes a different approach to handheld gaming, utilizing Xbox LIVE, Microsoft Game Studios, leading game publishers, and innovative indie developers, to create powerful, shared experiences for everyone."
Windows Phone 7 also will be supported by content from Microsoft Game Studios (MGS), known for providing strong first-party gaming titles and intellectual property for the phone. So what does this mean for Xbox fans? Well, this means that Windows Phone 7 will offer companion titles to games like Halo: Waypoint and Crackdown 2, extending the experience of their favorite Xbox 360 franchises. Yay!
"Windows Phone 7 is the launch of a major gaming platform for Microsoft," said Matt Booty, general manager of mobile gaming for MGS. "Just like we've done with Xbox 360, our charter is to push the envelope and deliver definitive games that maximize the platform. We will have an incredible lineup of MGS titles, and that's just the beginning."

Second Suicide by Hugh Howey | Book Review
This short story was a great read and really cool! It was not what I was expecting. It's hard to know what to expect with a title like Second Suicide. What the heck could that mean? And why would I want to read about suicide anyway? You'll find out if you read this book. It was written in first person through the eyes of a character who has tentacles. Yep, you just read that right - tentacles. He is an alien who is in a spaceship headed for a planet that he and his kind are going to try and take over. It is amazing how easily you find yourself quickly relating to this character even though he is an alien with long slimy appendages. He thinks like you do, plays cards, uses the toilet, fights, and researches. He learns of the cultures that he and his fellow aliens are heading towards to take over.
I'll let you read the story to discover what the title's meaning is all about but let's just say it's a very intriguing idea. You may rethink suicide, not for us humans but for the characters in the story once you learn of their society and circumstances.
Somehow this is a huge story and at the same time a very small story. Its first person narrative draws you in and you feel for the main character right away. I wanted to know how he felt about his situation and what was going to happen to him. I also wanted to know about his spaceship, what it was going to do, and what his entire alien race was going to do. Howey gives you just enough information to keep you satisfied as you read. You get little snippets and snapshots of information about the aliens and their past. So you're learning about one being's life and the massive race he belongs to as they fly through space ready to try and conquer another world among many.
I thought the character and point of view of the story were very inventive and it was really cool reading a story where the protagonist is an alien so different from me physically and yet very relatable and likable. I was very pleasantly surprised by this intriguing science fiction story. You will be too. Thanks for stopping by!

Ravenhill Court by David R. Beshears | Book Review
This was an interesting read. I was not expecting the story to go where it did. I won't spoil anything, but lets just say there's a really big reveal. It's a bit mind boggling. The main characters are a group of kids. They have a really cool clubhouse in the middle of the woods behind their neighborhood. In this way it reminded me of Stephen King's IT or The Body. The kids are on to something strange going on in their neighborhood. They visit an old professor who doesn't let them in on the secret but asks for their help. They go on an adventure and by the end of the book they find out some pretty crazy things about their world.
I loved how well the author described the clubhouse the kids were always sneaking off to. I could picture it in my mind. It is an awesome clubhouse and reading about it made me think fondly back on the tree house my brothers and I had as kids. The characters do a lot of talking about the odd things going on around them in that clubhouse, and it was a great setting I was happy to visit every time a scene took place there.
I listened to the audiobook version of this story. The narrator Karen Krause was great. Her voice welcomes you into the world of Ravenhill Court. She fit the story well and I think the author made a good choice selecting her to read this book.

Routine business addressed at Granger trustees meeting
The Granger Board of Trustees conducted routine business at the meeting Nov. 11.
Chris Szelag, of the Medina County Auditor's Office, reminded the public the last day to submit essays for the Top Dog Essay Contest for Medina County fourth-graders is Nov. 18. She said students taking part in this contest will write an essay about why they think a particular dog should be Medina County's top dog. Szelag said additional information on this contest can be found on the Medina County Auditor's Office website at www.medina countyauditor.org.
Szelag also said the last day of this year's Medina County Auditor's Seals Contest is Dec. 20. She said the seals are used to identify approved weights and measures devices in the county and to identify approved places of businesses in the county. She said information on that contest can be found on the Auditor's Office website.
Szelag also reminded the public that those who will be turning 65 need to turn in their applications for Homestead Exemption eligibility as soon as possible. Szelag said as of Jan. 1, the qualifications for the Homestead Exemption will change, and a $30,000 income ceiling will be required for eligibility.
She also announced the Auditor's Office will be closed Nov. 28-29, Dec. 20 at 2 p.m., Dec. 24 at noon, Dec. 25 and Jan. 1.
In other business:
- Service Director Mark Novak addressed concerns from Wilbur Road residents about the flooding of the ditches along the road. He explained it is the homeowners' responsibility to clean out the ditches on their own property.
Novak also said he is in the process of ordering new signs for the township. He said some need to be replaced, while others are already scheduled to be installed.
- Fire Chief Jim Paulett reported the Granger Fire Department responded to 19 EMS calls and 13 fire calls in October. He said he also ordered 25 stainless steel hydrant markers to attach to fire hydrants for visibility during heavy snow for about $475.
Paulett said all EMS personnel will be trained on data entry for EMS charts. He explained the second phase of this project will involve the department using tablets to enter this data in replacement of written records.
Paulett also announced that Sharon Firefighter Adam Dodson performed mask fit testing for the Granger Fire Department's self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) masks. He said while his department purchased all masks with a standard size, a few members need different size masks. Paulett said he is in the process of obtaining pricing for these SCBA masks.
- Sexton Rita Feess reported one full burial was conducted in October.
- Fiscal Officer Donald Baker announced the state accepted Granger Township's community reinvestment area.
Baker also said there will be no Board of Zoning Appeals meeting for November.
He reported that the Granger Township Administration Building will be closed Nov. 28-29; Dec. 24, 25 and 31; and Jan. 1.
- Trustee Teri Berry addressed rumors of break-ins in the township, reminding residents to be vigilant of suspicious activity in their neighborhoods.
Berry also recognized Trustee John Ginley's son, John, captain of The Ohio State University's Flight Team, for being named Regional Top Pilot and placing in several other categories following the team's regional competition in Battle Creek, Mich.
- The trustees also congratulated Baker on his re-election.
Also at the meeting, the board approved the following items:
√ to establish an hourly rate of $9.85 for EMT/firefighter trainees and an hourly rate of $12.25 for paramedic/firefighter trainees;
√ to move Allison Justice to the rank of paramedic/firefighter trainee; and
√ a resolution to enter into an agreement with the Medina County Board of Commissioners to purchase materials from the Medina County Engineer's Office in 2014.
The next Granger Board of Trustees meeting is scheduled for Nov. 25 at 4 p.m. at the Granger Township Administration Building, 3717 Ridge Road.

I'm looking to buy a home in Colorado. Which area has the best hiking taking into consideration quality and quantity. I narrowed to Denver or Colorado Springs area because with those two areas I'm still close to civilization. My gauge for that is to be no more than 20 miles from a Costco.
I'd pick Springs area anytime over Denver. Better life, and still only an hour or less to get to southern Denver open lands you might be interested in hiking. Just a CSp. fan for life.
I live in C. Springs and my sister lives in Littleton (suburb of Denver) so I might be able to help you out. Housing prices in the Springs are way, way better. I bought a house here a couple years ago (my first) as a short sale sure under a 100k. My sister can't seem to find anything close in size or condition for under 120k. Climbing access in the Springs is ok. You've got easy access to Shelf, Devils Head, 11 mile and a lot of other Splatte areas. Getting to Boulder or Estes Park isn't bad either obviously not as easy as from parts of Denver but if you're heading west you don't have to deal with 70. I think that's a plus, some may disagree. Night life/culture I think the Springs is not that great. Moving here from Boston via New York it's almost like a foreign country. If having lots of religious people around is unpleasant for you or you have strong opinions about the military or the people in it then you may have lots of awkward conversations involving people telling you about their belief in Jesus or to love it or leave it. Also, I don't know if it's because the news reports or what but the areas with more military seem to be the worst parts of town. That said there's a little variety. You've got some clubs and bars, not the same volume but they are there. Hiking in the Springs is good. There are a lot of nice spots around town like Cheyenne Canyon if you're wanting to stay in shape and a lot of good stuff up Old Stage Rd. and on Pikes Peak which is pretty close. You're closer to some of the Southern 14ers and all the hiking near them. Denver is closer to the northern areas like RMNP and the Indian Peaks but there really isn't anything in the 10 minute drive category. Access to areas west is about the same as the Springs. Getting to Vail usually takes my sister almost as long as me and she's almost right at 70. So for the hiking I'd say C. Springs. They're not that far apart though, my sister usually gets down here in about an hour. When I move I'll probably go to Golden because climbing is higher priority than hiking for me.If it wasn't I'd be more inclined to stay in the Springs.
I've been leaning towards Colorado Springs. The area looked a lot greener the last time I was there. I'm not thrilled about holy rollers though but I've gotten used to them where I live now, College Station, TX.
15-20mins west of Denver there are a lot of trails managed by Jefferson County Open Space ranging from urban parks to fairly remote (considering how close you are to the city still) where you can easily hike up to 12 miles in one park. These trails are also wonderfully maintained by the large trail crew that the county operates. They are also constantly cutting new trails on recently acquired land. I'm not much for the city so I'll personally recommend looking into either Littleton or Lakewood although the Highlands Region of Denver is nice and located just outside of downtown proper. You may have good luck finding more affordable housing on the out skirts of that area.
There's proportionally more canyons to access the hills out of Denver, but then you have more people and after work driving sucks.
If you choose C. Springs, live in Manitou. Nested up against the mountains, funky culture, and less holy rollers. You could even go up the hill a bit more to Woodland Park, which is a great little mountain town, but has easy access to Colorado Springs.
+1 on Woodland Park area near Springs.
They both sell medical marijuana, you know, if your into hiking and that kind of thing...
Typical Manitou Springs residents.
Stich, whenever you wanna start bouldering let me know....you seem like a character.

Australian ISPs Claim Net Neutrality Is an 'American Problem'
Soulskill posted more than 5 years ago | from the rabbit-neutality-is-all-you,-though dept.363
RATLSNAKE writes "The heads of some of the most popular Australian ISPs were all interviewed over at ZDNet about Net Neutrality. For once, they all seem to agree, and they say it's a problem with the US business model, or the lack thereof. They discuss why they don't think it's an issue in Australia. Simon Hackett, the managing director of Adelaide-based ISP Internode, had this to say: 'The [Net neutrality] problem isn't about running out of capacity. It's a business model that's about to explode due to stress. ... The idea that the entire population can subsidize a minority with an extremely high download quantity actually isn't necessarily the only way to live.' Of course, this also explains why we Australians do not have truly unlimited plans."

"Safe and Sane" fireworks went on sale in Dublin beginning June 28, 2014, at 12:00 PM, and the City of Dublin and its public safety departments would like to promote fireworks safety and urge extreme caution in their use. Safety is especially important this year due to the extremely dry conditions caused by the drought.
"Safe and Sane" fireworks require the use of several safety precautions, and their use is limited to the hours of 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM on the 4th of July, only, in the following City parks:
- Alamo Creek Park (Dougherty Road and Willow Creek Drive)
- Dublin Sports Grounds (Dublin Boulevard and Civic Plaza)
- Emerald Glen Park (Tassajara Road and Gleason Drive)
- Shannon Park (Shannon Avenue and San Ramon Valley Road)
No fireworks of any type (including "Safe and Sane") are permitted at Dublin multi-housing units or at any undesignated Dublin park, other City facility, or public school.
Those who purchase fireworks should keep the following precautions in mind:
- Always read and follow the safety directions.
- Never take fireworks apart to build your own fireworks.
- Never allow children to use fireworks without adult supervision.
- Only light one device at a time, and remain a safe distance away after lighting the device.
- Never try to re-light or handle "dud" fireworks (faulty and unexploded fireworks).
- Always follow the safety instructions.
- Fireworks should always be used in safe, open areas and away from buildings, combustibles, dry vegetation, and especially people and animals.
- A connected garden hose should be ready nearby and a pail of water kept handy for disposal of spent fireworks and "duds."
- Pet owners should keep pets indoors on July 4, as many animals become extremely agitated by the sights and sounds of fireworks. Some of these pets will even run into the streets and away from home in an attempt to flee fireworks activity that is distressing to them.
Illegal fireworks, which explode in the air or move along the ground, pose an even higher threat this year due to the extremely dry conditions of the Dublin hillsides, where there is great potential for wildfires.
Law enforcement and fire officials plan to be extra vigilant due to the dry winter and the drought conditions. Penalties for those caught selling or using these types of fireworks can include fines and jail time.
To learn more about firework safety, please go to www.dublin.ca.gov/fireworks.

Editor's Note: The fireworks are not permitted in any of the surrounding cities such as Pleasanton, Livermore and San Ramon. Fireworks are illegal in most of Contra Costa County. Only those fireworks designated as "safe and sane" can be used at the designated Dublin parks on fourth of July.

Jack White Unleashes Scorching Video for 'Lazaretto'
Posted: June 4, 2014
Jack White's highly-anticipated sophomore solo album Lazaretto is less than a week from its release date (June 10), but he's already furnished fans three of the new songs.
And if the audio taste isn't enough for White enthusiasts, the prolific songwriter recently dropped a visual in the form of a music video for the record's title track.
The black-and-white clip for "Lazaretto" is perfect for the song's machine-gun pacing, with shots of glass breaking, a bull stomping and a car burning some serious rubber. Throughout, White stabs at his guitar and snarls into the microphone, matching the aggressive scenes around him.
Check out the video below.

Watch New Video by The Far West
Posted: March 5, 2014
L.A.-based Americana band the Far West just released their sophomore album Any Day Now, and to promote the new effort, they've dropped a music video for the alt-country track "Bright Side."
While the album was recorded at a vintage hot rod shop in Southern California, the band chose to film the video in a more traditional Americana venue.
"The Grand Ole Echo is a country and Americana music institution in Los Angeles," said bassist Robert Black. "It's been running every Sunday in the summers for almost a decade. We play it once a year, and we couldn't believe no one had used it as a backdrop for a video yet. It's got kind of a family vibe for us, and we wanted to try to capture that."
Watch the video below and visit the Far West's official website for more information.
