Sanskrit: Virabhadrasana II
• Increases stamina
• Strengthens the legs and arms
• Opens the hips, chest, and shoulders
• Stimulates abdominal organs
• When practice in proper alignment, over time, strengthens quads and improves knee health
Technique: From Mountain pose (standing tall) bring the hands to the hips and step the feet out about 3.5ft, the longer the legs you have, the wider the stance you will need. Pivot your right foot out and keep the back foot at 90 degrees or turned in at about a 45 degree angle. Align the right heel with the arch of the back left foot.
Exhale and bend your right knee over the right ankle. Point the right knee toward the little-toe side of the right foot.
Inhale the arms out to the sides so they are parallel to the floor. Engage the muscles between the shoulders as you draw the shoulders together and down the back. Make sure the torso is not leaning forward. Keep the torso and the shoulders directly over the pelvis. Engage the abdominal muscles and lengthen the tailbone downwards. Turn the head to softly gaze over the fingers of the left hand.
Hold for about five breaths. The longer the pose is held, the more strength and endurance you will build. Inhale to come up. Pivot the feet to the opposite side and repeat for the same length of time.
* When Warrior II is practiced in proper alignment, it can strengthen the quads, and over time, improve knee health. Proper alignment in Virabhadrasana II (Warrior II) allows the vastus medialis to work in harmony with the other quadriceps to align and strengthen the muscles stabilizing the knee. To make sure you are in correct alignment in Warrior II, check to make sure that the knee is not extending past the ankle. Also, check to see if the knee is above the third toe, and that both the toe and the knee are on the same plane as the sit bone. The knee falls inward if the vastus medialis (the inner quad muscle) is not properly engaged. The vastus laterialis (the outer quad muscle) then pulls the kneecap outward which stresses the inner knee, therefore, it is essential to make sure that the knee is not falling inward and is in proper alignment.

JU tops Bucs for first win
Related Links
Jacksonville coach Kerwin Bell had said all week that the only thing he knew was for his 0-2 team to work harder. They did; it worked.
The Dolphins, led by running back J.J. Lasters 128 rushing yards and a pair of touchdown passes from quarterback Josh McGregor, won a second-half track meet to beat Charleston Southern 37-30 at D. B. Milne Field here Saturday.
"I said hard work was the answer, '' Bell said. "Our guys worked all week and it paid off today.''
JU's fireworks started on the first play of the game when corner back Colby Walden returned the opening kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown which was all the scoring in the first quarter.
The teams traded scores in the second period, JU on a 1-yard run by Keith Dawson and the Bucs on a 3-yard carry from B.J. Hackworth, who is from Jacksonville, with :31 to play.
After JU's Bladen Gudz connected on a 35-yard field goal to open the third quarter, the teams traded points in bunches.
CSU (0-3) scored back to back with a pair of drives that were long on yardage and short on time. Hackworth scored on a 12-yard run to cap a five-play 77 yard effort that took only one minute and 33 seconds and tight end Carson Leshin caught a 25-yard pass from Malcolm Dixon to end an eight-play, 80-yard drive that took 3:10.
The Dolphins (1-2) bounced back on an 8-yard scoring run by Laster and a McGregor to Josh Philpart 15-yard pass for a 30-23 lead.
The Bucs responded with a 62-yard drive that ended with Dixon running in from the 3 to tie at 30-all with 7:02 to play.
JU's winning drive started on its own 39 and ended with McGregor hitting tight end Quintin Davis on a 42-yard score with 4:20 to go. The drive was highlighted by a critical third down and 12 to go McGregor to Philpart pass that went for 15 yards
"That was a huge play,'' McGregor said. The touchdown pass was the 92nd of McGregor's career, tying him for 14th on the all time list with Ted White who played at Howard from 1995-98.
The teams traded punts and JU put an end to the game when Walden intercept a Dixon pass with 34 seconds to play. Davis had four catches for 117 yards and Philpart five receptions for 72 yards for the game while junior Mike Mayoral led the defense with eight tackles and a sack.
The Dolphins begin play in the Pioneer Football League next week as they travel to Campbell.

Reader's Review: a mystical, magical tour
Mix "DaVinci code", with "Tibetan Book of the Dead" with a bit of fantasy and you have "Under the Tree". A fantastic book.
"Under the Tree" takes one on a path of self discovey and helps to show how we are all interconnected and that life truly does have a purpose, if only to live each of our lives to the fullest.
I highly recommend this book to all those searching or questioning the path they have chosen and need a new perpective.
Reader's Review: An edifying tale of self-knowledge
Under the Tree is a fun story that tracks the steps taken towards enlightment in a near-death experience. Easy to read and very clear, it tells how Ray Carte's encounter with Alice in a new dimension affects his past and his future. (Gotta love the names!)
Stone's explanation of the nature of life/afterlife is clear and well-delineated. The book is serious, but it leaves the reader feeling hopeful and eager to live life to its fullest.

Dicker on the bench for Crawley, Sinclair missing from squad
2:29pm Saturday 25th January 2014 in Sport By Steve Hollis
New signing Gary Dicker has to be content for a place on the bench for Crawley's match at Rotherham United this afternoon.
The former Albion midfielder signed from Rochdale on Thursday but will have to wait to make his debut as boss John Gregory sticks with the quartet who drew 2-2 at Coventry City two weeks ago.
That means Billy Clarke starts up front alongside Matt Tubbs – rather than on the left-wing – on his return from suspension with Gary Alexander dropping to the bench.
That is the only change to the side which fought back to earn a point against the Sky Blues but there is one intriguing omission on the Crawley bench.
Striker Emile Sinclair is not listed among the substitutes amid speculation he is about to sign for Mansfield. Alex Malins replaces him on the bench.
Rotherham hand a debut to Richard Smallwood in midfield following his arrival on loan from Middlesbrough this week. Lee Frecklington is the man to drop out while Iceland international Kari Arnason returns from injury in the heart of the defence.
Former Reds trio Scott Shearer, Claude Davis and Wes Thomas are all on the bench for Steve Evans's side.
Rotherham (4-4-2): Collin; Tavernier, Arnason, Addison, Skarz; Agard, Milsom, Smallwood, Pringle; Revell, Hitchcock. Subs: Brindley, O'Connor, Shearer, Bradley, Thomas, Vuckic, Davis.
Crawley (4-4-2): P Jones; Connolly, McFadzean, Walsh, Sadler; Adams, Drury, Simpson, M Jones; Clarke, Tubbs. Subs: Maddison, Essam, Torres, Proctor, Dicker, Alexander, Malins.

But isn't IS a feature as opposed to changing the aperature or focal length? I dunno, maybe I'm just having a bad day at work and my subconscious is looking for an argument to distract me even though I say I'm not...
IS and USM are both features, but they change the name of the lens, not the version. So we had a 70-200mm f/2.8L (1995) and a 70-200mm f/4L (1999). Then there was a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS (2001) then a 70-200mm f/4L IS (2006), and most recently, a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II (2010).
Other examples are the super tele lenses, say the 400/2.8 lenses. The first was the 400mm f/2.8L (1991), followed by the 400mm f/2.8L II (1996). Then they added IS, but we didn't get a MkIII, we got a 400mm f/2.8L IS (1999). Now, this year, we have a 400mm f/2.8L IS II (ok, I'm using 'have' metaphorically, since at $11500 a pop, not many of us actually have one...).
Or, look at the 75-300mm f/4-5.6 consumer zooms. There are actually 7 versions - original, II and III, original USM, II USM, and III USM, and IS USM.
Bottom line, adding IS with no change in focal length or aperture still restarts the version numbering.

The fire was in a heating and cooling unit.
Fire officials say the blaze is under investigation. The believe a filter may have gotten sucked into the heating unit, which was heavily damaged by the fire.
Besides heavy smoke, no one was hurt and the business used fans to air out the smoke.

Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick is one of the nice comeback stories emerging from training camp this year. After suffering a knee injury last summer before training camp, Kirkpatrick was forced to miss camp, the preseason and all but five regular season games before his season ended with a knee injury that he struggled to recovery from.
The early reactions for Kirkpatrick this year are positive, breaking up passes and even scoring an interception during Monday's practice. Breaching the starting line-up this year won't be easy with Leon Hall, Terence Newman, Adam Jones and (arguably) Brandon Ghee standing in his way. But when ESPN's Jamison Hensley asked if he'll be ready to start this year, there is "no doubt" said the second-year cornerback.
"No doubt," he said. "It's not going to be on me to make that call. But I'll be ready. It won't be because of me not being ready. I will be ready. I'm just playing my role."
When he's not making plays on the field, or standing around Mike Zimmer, Leon Hall, and Terence Newman, Kirkpatrick is pacing on the sidelines, like an anxious predator.
Hensley wrote:
His best play came Saturday when he leaped in the air and broke up a deep pass intended for Ryan Whalen. "It was mind-blowing a little bit because nobody expected him to get there and he got there," receiver Mohamed Sanu said.
Due to his coming out party and his red-shirt rookie season, it's almost like the Bengals received another first-round pick this year. This might be one of the strongest cornerback rosters that the Bengals have had during the Marvin Lewis era. Well, close to it at least.


text: Were the ongoing contract negotiations to be successful, what would a 70 game season look like? Is there any need to keep the current organizational alignment of 2 conferences of 3 divisions for the shortened season? We know the NHL wants realignment, and the NHLPA wants to be part of the process. Could that be part of the final steps of the current negotiations? Would another set of divisions or conferences be more suitable for the shortened season? Would the last minute rescheduling process become easier and have more parity with different alignments within conferences or different conferences all together? Would the elimination of coast to coast road trips be useful to more efficiently use the time left till April/May playoffs have to begin? Can the new conference alignments create some marketing buzz to re-exite fans? Daydreaming about hockey starting Dec. 1 is still pure fantasy, but the fantasy exists and filling that fantasy with games helps get through the waiting. The current situation seems to strongly suggest the new realignment comes sooner rather than later. Any thoughts on this?

Kelly writes "Today's LISNEWs about C-Span dinging Nancy Pelosi using some of their footage reminded me of a story from today's stash of Boing Boing articles. In this story, this guy is ripping Congress webcasts, which are streaming only, and archiving them! (Like a good librarian?) This is cool. Here's the scoop from the article: `The U.S. Congress provides webcasts for many of their hearings. In all cases, the hearings are streaming only, in many cases they are "live only" (no archive of the stream). In some cases, the committees even put a "copyright, all rights reserved" notice on the hearings! This is really dumb. So, I've started ripping all congressional streams starting with the house and posting them in a nonproprietary format for download, tagging, review, and annotation at Google Video and another copy at the Internet Archive (just to prove this is a nondenominational issue. This is a Tom Sawyer hack, a la "painting this fence is *loads* of fun!" I intend to prove to the Congressional webmasters that it is so much fun doing their web sites for them that they'll want to do it themselves so that I go away. Until then, look for "Carl Malamud on behalf of the U.S. Congress" for official news. Link to Boing article Link to ripped videos"
alh writes "The folks on Slashdot discuss new video on demand offerings at public libraries.
"In light of the recent story about Wal-Mart and movies on demand, readers should know there is a free service available from some public libraries that lets you download movies and tv shows. The service is just beginning, so selection is pretty mediocre, but the sponsors, Recorded Books and PermissionTV, make some big promises. If your library ponies up the dough for the top service, you will be able to download movies on the same day as their dvd release. All you need is a library card. You can see one of the early adopters Half Hollow Hills Community Library in the library's blog . Look for My Library DV.
Well we all know who popped onto our screens during prime-time last night, but did you give any consideration to the location of the Prez's speech? It was in the White House Library.
From the AP, "As Bush spoke for 20 minutes from the unusual setting of the White House library, the sounds of protesters amassed outside the compound's gates occasionally filtered through." Various news analysts this morning said that they imagined the library setting (instead of the usual setting of the Oval Office) gave strength to the President's position that he had studied the situation with care and gave it more of a conversational tone.
If you're down under, or heading there next year, you might be able to catch a glimpse of their new TV series, The Librarians. Aussie actress Robyn Butler stars, and her husband Wayne Hope directs.
From The Age ..."Libraries, Butler points out, attract all walks of life. Which is not exactly to the liking of Butler's character Frances O'Brien, head librarian and repressed, passive-aggressive Catholic. Naturally, O'Brien is a little intolerant of her Muslim, Asian and gay patrons. And when her childhood best-friend-turned-drug-dealer (played by Roz Hammond) gets a job as the children's librarian, chaos ensues."
As we've previously determined, he's not really a Librarian, he's an archivist, but nonetheless, the sequel, "The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines" is on tonight. And according to this review from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette by critic Rob Owen, "discerning fans of action-adventure yarns will feel let down. Again."
According to the NYTimes and Chicago Sun , O.J. Simpson, acquitted for the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, has written a book to be published by ReganBooks in which he will tell "how he would have committed the murders if he were the one responsible." He will also appear on Fox TV on November 27 and 29 in two one-hour shows produced by Judith Regan, entitled (as the book) "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened".
From Variety.com: "VHS, 30, dies of loneliness. The home-entertainment format lived a fruitful life."
"After a long illness, the groundbreaking home-entertainment format VHS has died of natural causes in the United States. The format was 30 years old.
No services are planned."

Sheilah writes "Santa Fe librarians decided to protest when the mini-series "The Lost Room" (premiering in December) used an actress to portray a librarian "probably 80 years old, gray-haired and frail". The show was filming in the area when the librarians showed up in Tshirts that said "Santa Fe Public Library ... Not Your Stereotypical Librarians". From UPI.
To add (or not)to your TV viewing calendar...Desiree Goodwin , Harvard librarian (still at the Frances Loeb library) who sued (and lost) for lack of promotion based on her appearance, will be one of several guests on the Tyra Banks Show on September 25.

Best advice is to just go ahead and get the application well ahead of when you need it. That way, you can avoid the stress and expense of having to speed up the process.
Agreed. If you don't have a passport you should get one. When you decide to travel, you may have to mail your passport off to get a visa, and that can take some time. If you have to get the passport first and then get one or more visas, it can be quite the process and can screw up your schedule. It's a really bad feeling to be two weeks from your flight and you still don't have a passport and visa in your hands.

Lynchburg, VA - The threat is growing for scammers to steal your identity this tax season.
Now, the IRS has sounded the alarm. They say stopping refund fraud related to identity theft is a top priority. This was such a problem last year, they have doubled their employees who work on identity theft cases for this go-around. More than 3,000 IRS employees are now working to stop the scammers.
Starting this week, Liberty Tax service is open from 7 a.m. until midnight.
"We have been very, very, very, busy," said Maria Childress who works as a tax preparer at Liberty Tax on Memorial Avenue.
Their goal is to help people file taxes quickly and safely, and they take the right precautions to prevent identity theft.
"We have secure records of your identity making sure that you actually match what your ID says," said Childress.
Denise Smith has been a tax specialist for years. She says last year was a "nightmare" when it comes to identity theft.
"We noticed an upswing last year in false tax returns being filed," said Smith.
If your identity is stolen through a tax filling, it means someone who is not you filed under your social security number. Once you file the correct taxes, and they are rejected, you know your identity has been compromised.
"The taxpayer then has the chance or has the burden of going back through and proving that they really are the person that belongs to that or those dependents really do belong to that tax payer," said Childress.
If you have been a victim of identity theft, the IRS assigns you a PIN number.
"Your social has been flagged for identity theft. So it is necessary to have that PIN," said Smith.
Your tax return cannot be filed without it, and it's how the IRS knows the tax form you submit with the PIN is actually the right one.
"It protects the tax payers from future fraudulent tax returns being filed under their social security number," said Smith.
Both tax specialists tell me it's important to keep your social security number secure.
Keep your card in a safe place, and never share the number. If you are assigned a PIN from the IRS, it's crucial to protect that number the same way.

Eagle Scout spreads his wings
Date: October 29, 2009
by: Loren Mayo | Staff Writer
Charles Savidge says fresh clothes and school materials — especially a new box of crayons — are what drive kids to do best. That's why he's spent the last three months coordinating bake sales and barbecues to raise money for colorful backpacks and school uniforms at Emma E. Booker Elementary as part of his Eagle Scout project for Troop 14.
His mother, Jenny Savidge, teaches kindergarten at Booker and informed her son of a shortage in school supplies.
The Out-of-Door Academy senior has since piled 150 backpacks into two giant cardboard boxes and packed 150 school uniforms into numerous plastic containers.
"I've grilled out at my dad's hardware stores — Longboat ACE Hardware and Holmes Beach Hardware — and talked with Walmart to collect the backpacks," Savidge said. "I plan to have dress-down days at ODA, which also wants to pick up the project."
Anyone who wishes to donate money or supplies may contact Savidge at email@example.com.

Somebody forget to remind Ryan Anderson and the Orlando Magic that the Philadelphia 76ers are the top-rated defense in the NBA. In the first head-to-head meeting back on Jan. 31, the Sixers' defense dominated a low-scoring slug fest. This time around, Ryan Anderson's 27 points and 7-of-10 shooting from beyond the arc paced a powerful offensive attack propelled by 15 made threes on 60 percent accuracy. The Magic secured the opening tip, hit the first shot, lunged to an early 23-6 lead and never trailed at any point during their impressive 103-87 home win
Jameer Nelson missed the first matchup due to lingering concussive symptoms, but he certainly made his mark in the rematch. The Sixers' defense sagged and smothered passing lanes to keep the ball away from Dwight Howard -- who still managed a 17-point, 14-rebound double-double -- so Nelson exploited the additional space, sliced towards the basket and distributed the ball on the perimeter on his way to tying a career-high with 14 assists (10 of them on made threes) to accompany his 12 points. .
Philadelphia never found a comfort level on either end of the floor. Thaddeus Young, Evan Turner, Andre Iguodala and the rest of the Sixers wing defenders tried to stifle post entry gaps but then failed to close out on Magic sharp shooters fast enough, as Ryan Anderson (7-10), Jason Richardson (4-5) and J.J. Redick (2-3) feasted on wide open looks behind the three-point line. The Magic relentlessly executed the extra pass to stress Philly's defensive rotations throughout the game and they recorded assists on every one of their 15 made three-pointers as a result.
On offense, Jrue Holiday stumbled through a five-turnover, 1-of-8 shooting performance as the Sixers' starters got outscored 81-38 by their counterparts. Lou Williams entered from the bench and salvaged 21 points and seven assists amid the wreckage, but even he struggled to get Philadelphia back into the game. Each time they whittled the margin to single digits, Orlando renewed the focus until the game moved out of reach again. A 14-point first quarter from Ryan Anderson opened up the early lead, 8 points from Dwight Howard in the second period pushed the margin to 16 at the half and a balanced Magic attack blazed the path to victory over the remainder of the game.
Elton Brand worked in tandem with Nikola Vucevic to defend Howard admirably on the interior, and Brand added 13 points while Vucevic dropped in 10 on the offensive end. Howard still got the better of the matchup down low, but not by a huge margin. Brand grabbed only two rebounds, and Vucevic emerged with five, but after the game two rebounds from Ryan Anderson became the bigger story. Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy got a bit nitpicky with the leading scorer on the night in the post-game interview, especially considering that Orlando matched Philadelphia with 39 total rebounds:
"I don't think Ryan needs to think about getting shots, tonight they were there. Guys made plays to him, and that's how Ryan needs to play. He shot the ball great, but he played 29 ½ minutes and got two rebounds. That's not good enough, that means all you're doing out there is shooting the ball. He's got to be more than a shooter, he's got to be able to play well. I know what he's capable of doing."
"I want the guy to be striving to be a great player, not just a shooter."
After a disastrous end to the month of January, the Magic have now won seven of their last nine games, including three in a row, and are 19-11 overall. Meanwhile, the loss snapped a two-game winning streak for the Sixers, who are 20-10 on the year.

Yesterday Michal Wilbon and Dan Le Batard discussed the ACC on PTI. Obviously the main topic was the dearth of talent and all around lack of depth and went so far as to bring in a PAC-10 comparison. Guess who they concluded was the power conference in Men's College basketball this year...
Wilbon concludes that "I don't think that any conference is great" and goes on to say "I don't think there is a powerhouse in college basketball." close quote.
As I remember the Big 12 had a whole one home lose in non-confrence play and despite the kU loss to Tenn. (Self lost on purpose I think, all a part of his Machiavellian plan) appears to be more than excellent when it comes to playing other major conferences.
You don't have to agree with us Big 12 fans, but when your job is to have informative discussions about sport don't you have to at the very least bring up the Big 12? Perhaps the large dozen will be vindicated in the tournament, but how telling is it of ESPN's love affair with the ACC that the discussion is not who the best conference is now, but that one must not now exists.

Putting Down Roots?
I've had 19 different mailing addresses in my life in four provinces and two states.
Six years ago this week my wife and I moved into our house in the suburbs of Atlanta which officially makes this the longest I've lived at one address in my life. Either I'm putting down roots here or it's time to move again. the former sounds better than the latter.
Globe and Mail Contributions
Back in July I mentioned that as a Canadian living in the United States I would be helping out with he Globe and Mail's US election coverage. Here are the two pieces to which I've contributed so far:
- On why I chose to become an American citizen (which I previously touched on in more depth here).
- Why I think Americans love college sports so much (I could have easily written several hundred more words on the subject, and I'm sure I overlooked several factors).
I'm not a policy wonk, and many of the topics the contributors are asked about are policy-oriented so I haven't added much to the discussions, but as someone who is more or less an undecided voter, it's been an interesting project to participate in.
Me and the Globe and Mail Expat Project
From now until the American federal election in November the Globe and Mail (a national Canadian newspaper) is conducting a bit of an experiment. They've asked close to 50 Canadians living in the United States to contribute to an online community, sharing their thoughts on what is going on in the election in their parts of the country in order to help Canadians better understand the process and issues.
I am one of those 50 or so Canadians participating and so far it's been a very interesting and thought-provoking experience (we've been discussing issues online in a Google Group for a few weeks even though the project just went live today).
You can follow the project here and learn more about it here. I haven't been featured or quoted yet, but I will be. Stay tuned.
And yes, I appreciate the irony of contributing to a newspaper website owned by the guy (David Thomson) who bought and moved the Thrashers. I don't hold any have any hard feelings against him though- he just took advantage of a good business opportunity.
Why I Became an American Citizen Today
After six and a half years of living in Georgia (plus another two spent in North Carolina for grad school) I finally became a United States citizen today, along with 160 other immigrants from 63 countries who were part of the same ceremony in Atlanta.
I grew up in a part of Canada where people are generally suspicious of Americans and I don't expect everyone to understand why I decided to apply for citizenship. I also have some Canadian friends who have lived in the US for longer than I have who haven't applied and may not ever. I can understand that choice, but I thought I'd explain my decision here. I wanted to become an american citizen because:
- In all likelihood I'll live in this country the rest of my life. It's been good to me, giving me a wife, a son and another baby on the way, a career that I love, and a place to call home. I have been blessed while living in this country and it seems plain rude not want to be a citizen of it.
- I'll always be from PEI, but I lived in roughly 20 different houses, dorms, and apartments in 10 different cities and towns before moving to Atlanta. We've owned our house for just shy of five years, making it the second-longest I've lived in any one residence. This is where I've put down roots. Atlanta is just as much home to me as PEI is.
- My son has dual citizenship by virtue of being born in the US and having a Canadian father and his sibling will also be a dual citizen. At some point they'll be old enough to understand citizenship and I don't know what I'd tell them if they asked why I never wanted to be an American like them. I simply wouldn't have an answer.
- The right to vote is extremely important to me. Knowing I'm here for the long haul I want to play a role in determining who governs this country, this state, and this county.
For the record, the United States government does not recognize dual citizenship but the Canadian government does. In the eyes of the American government I'm only a US citizen but in the eyes of the Canadian government I'm both Canadian and American.
The ceremony itself was well done and included some remarks from a government official, a few short videos, a message from the president, the oath, the pledge of allegiance, recognition of the 63 countries represented by the new citizens, and it all capped off with this a video set to Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA.
There was also an applicant wearing bright red pants, a bright blue blazer, white shirt, and white hat with a stars and stripes ribbon on it. Today was clearly a big deal for her, as it should have been.
Four Years In Georgia
It turns out this thing still work. It's been just short of a year since I've updated it. but I figured it was time to dust it off on this special day.
It was four years ago today that I successfully moved to Georgia from Ottawa (after a failed attempt on Sept. 17, 2005, but that's another story).
In the last four years I have:
- Landed my dream job
- Bought my first car
- Gotten engaged
- Gotten married
- Adopted a cat
- Bought a house
- Adopted a dog
- Bought my second car
- Gotten a green card
And now I'm going to be a father… in April.
Yup. It's been a busy and good four years.
Trip To The Doctor
Now that I've been in the country for almost two years and have had full medical insurance for well over a year I finally got around to actually going to an American doctor for the first time.
The office I went to had one doctor. She has a staff of at least three. There was nobody in the waiting room when I got there and only two people in it when I left (and they might have been together). As a new patient I filled out a few standard forms (that I would have filled out in Canada) and then waited just long enough to read half of a Newsweek article. Then I was escorted into an exam room where I had my temp and blood pressure taken. Five minutes later I met the doctor and 15 minutes after that I was done. I wasn't rushed and I covered everything I wanted to cover. Total cost on top of my insurance- $25. I happily would have paid that in Ottawa if it meant bypassing the 90 minute wait in a crowded clinic.
I could get to like this whole private health care thing.
A Month at Work
Every once in a while I forget how cool my job is. Then I make a business-related phone call and the person on the other end answers the phone with "National Hockey League. This is Angela."
In the past month I have talked to Sidney Crosby, stuck my tape recorder in Wayne Gretzky's face, been teased by half a dozen NHL players (that's what happens when they see you on Kiss cam with your wife) and interviewed a general manager. It's been a good month at work. Three months from now things will be even better.
It's been cold here lately. Not cold by Atlanta standards- just plain cold. Water has frozen.
Thursday morning it was -8 C with the windchill when I got to the office. It was -5 C in Charlottetown at the time. This morning it was -6 C when Meg walked the dog. I have my lining zipped into my leather coat and it's been in for a week, which already beats the number of days it was zipped in last winter.
It's great.
Visiting An Old Friend
It had been about 15 months. I'm pretty sure that's the longest I'd ever gone in my life. 15 months without seeing the ocean.
That's a long time for someone that grew up on an island. Growing up every
summer was spent at the beach on PEI and from grade six on I lived on the
Island, up until college. Then every summer was spent back home. Even when I
spent three years in Ottawa I made it home at least once a year.
My last visit to the ocean was Labour Day weekend, 2005 when I
was last home. At least that was it until Sunday when Meg and I stopped by
Ocean Lakes Campground in Myrtle Beach
to visit some family on the way home a wedding in Charleston, South Carolina. It
was a cold, windy, rainy afternoon and the ocean was restless- just the way it
should be the first weekend in December. As much as I love the calm, warm waters of the summer, the ocean isn't really itself until it has cooled enough to chase everyone out of its waters, kind of like a host that enjoys guests, but never really relaxes until they're gone.
You Don't Say
Overheard in Blue Ridge, Georgia (an elderly lady to a gift shop clerk):
"And you who they've got teaching freshman philosophy down there? The same guy I had when I was there back in 1951 and that my boy had almost thirty years ago. He's still a hard-headed atheist too. That's the problem with a liberal arts education. They make these young kids go in and take a philosophy class from this atheist and he gets them all turned around. My grandson went in their, took that class and came out so confused we had to go take him to the preist to straighten him out. And our priest used to be a physicist, so he knows a thing or two."

With its identity as a volunteer-driven, nonprofit science center, its clear that ExplorationWorks' programs are motivated by one purpose: to help visitors of all ages and backgrounds gain a richer, deeper understanding of the sciences and technology. The colorful facility achieves this through eclectic programs and events, as well as a range of hands-on permanent and temporary exhibits. ExplorationWorks also allows visitors to play with sound waves and magnetic fields, learn about the seasonal life cycle of plants in an exploration garden, and experiment with principles of biology and physics firsthand in the Science Cafe.
Entering their 85th season, the Harlem Globetrotters have entertained millions of parents, children, and general basketball admirers with a unique brand of athletic precision and showmanship. For their latest "4 Times the Fun" North American tour, the Globetrotters will add a new 4-point shot spots located 35 feet from the basket, which is 12 feet further than the official three-point line but several thousand miles closer than the prime meridian. See the arch-nemesis Generals try to keep up as the Harlem hardwood sorcerers evade gravity's oppressive clutches and court clairvoyants distribute unassailable alley-oops. Youngsters can learn about the benefits of teamwork while laughing along with the jovial jocks as they perform classic routines of unconventional passing and sudden transmutations of water into confetti.
Bearing the titles of Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman from Professional Photographers of America, David and Ally McKay embody the keen vision and aesthetic prowess that separated good photographers from great ones. They share these skills during classes at McKay Photography Academy, where they train eyes, fingers, and imaginations to work in tandem as a snapshooting dream machine. Their classes help aspiring photographers progress from neophytes to seasoned pros; the Beginning Digital Photography course teaches students to harness the intricacies of their instruments, and the Pro Academy offers inside tips on how to successfully snap wedding portraits, pose recent grads, or tease out candid emotions. When not busy instructing the next generation of shutterbugs, David and Ally also devise photo safaris, which send small teams of photographers to capture shots of famed landmarks including San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge; the Lincoln Memorial of Washington, DC; or Yosemite's 60-foot statue of Yogi Bear.
Inside Bozeman Yoga Center, founder Ed Scheterlak leads Iyengar-influenced yoga sessions that focus on proper alignment and work to maximize the therapeutic effects of the practice. Classes include sessions open to all levels as well as therapeutic classes. The studio also boasts a rope wall that aids alignment and facilitates better stretching and movement.
When visitors board one of Wild West Rafting's rafts, they're actually stepping into some historic, soggy shoes. The inflated vessels traverse the Yellowstone River, which was explored by members of the Lewis and Clarke expedition in 1806. These famed adventurers saw many of the things rafters still see: elk, bison, and other wildlife set against the rolling terrain of nearby mountains. Indeed, Wild West Rafting's trips pass several of the majestic sights that define the American West. But the river offers more than just scenery. Near Gardiner, Montana, the flow speeds up as the river descends into Paradise Valley and narrow canyons. Rafters on these sections face an on-water rollercoaster, flying through class III and IV rapids with names such as "Yankee's Revenge," "Box Car," and "Audience Members in the First Three Rows Will Get Wet."
While they're an adventure for most people, these trips define a typical workday for Wild West Rafting's guides, each of whom holds certifications in First Aid, CPR, and Swift Water Rescue. The staff includes experts such as Ryan Winter—who, before coming to the Yellowstone River, honed his paddling skills on the South African whitewaters of the Umkomasi, the Umzimkulu, and the Zambezi. The guides can take groups on rafting trips ranging from a couple of hours to multiple days. During longer excursions, they can combine rafting with horseback rides through Yellowstone National Park.
Sports Cove offers scuba-diving courses that take students from the shallows of an indoor swimming pool to the depths of the ocean. For beginners, open-water classes cover breathing techniques and safety regulations, and advanced-certification courses give divers enough confidence to explore the depths on their own. Those looking for a more exotic experience can join the crew on one of its organized scuba-diving trips to locations such as Mexico and the Caribbean.

A state senator threw his hat into the ring to be the next Attorney General of Rhode Island.Republican Dawson Hodgson announced his candidacy today at 10 a.m. at the State House. "The theme of this campaign is 'Stand Up for Rhode Island,'" said Hodgson.
Hodgson wasted no time criticizing his Democratic opponent incumbent Attorney General Peter Kilmartin. "Sadly, some of the most pressing issues this session deal with resolving bad decisions the current Attorney General helped make in his final year as a State Representative, and compounded once he moved to the Attorney General's Office, such as 38 Studios and Deepwater Wind."
He also criticized Kilmartin for allowing the Attorney General's office to represent the state in the matter of the pension reform lawsuit since Kilmartin did not vote on pension reform as a legislator stating that he was taking an ethical stand because his wife and brother accept public pensions.Hodgson has been a vocal critic of the 38 Studios loan deal. He said the Attorney General's office should have convened a grand jury to investigate the matter and as aAttorney General the 38 Studios deal would be one of his top priorities.
Hodgson also said that if elected he would have the Attorney General's office review parole applications in order to keep violent offenders like the "thrill killer" Alfred Brisette off the street.Hodgson was a former state prosecutor and currently sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee and serves as the Deputy Minority Leader.

Caterpillars may be the perfect pets for kids. By the time your child has lost interest in caring for it, a caterpillar will pupate and no longer need parenting. You can't say that about a puppy. Seriously, raising caterpillars is much easier than you might think, and can be a lot of fun for children. They'll watch it grow and molt, pupate, and emerge as a beautiful butterfly or moth within weeks.
So if Junior wanders into the house with a caterpillar find, how should he take care of it? My new article "How to Keep a Caterpillar" provides you with step-by-step instructions. You'll learn how to handle a caterpillar properly, what to put in its housing, how and what to feed it, and what to do after it pupates.

I actually have a question. My kids and I found corn caterpillars in the corn at the natural foods store, and decided to save a couple. One survived and burrowed itself in the dirt in the dirt today to pupate. I know we should let the butterfly or moth free near its host plants, but I have no car and have no way to get to a corn field, nor would any farms want me to let it out anyway, since they are considered pests to farmers. What would you suggest? I am in Sacramento, CA.

I found a caterpillar inside during winter, so instead of leaving her in the cold i saved her. I put her in a small jar and put leaves and stuff in there, but the next day she made a web-like sac. I guess she is a tent caterpillar. But a few days later I noticed green sphere shaped things in her sac. Are these eggs? And if they are, will i need a larger jar to care for them? And how could she make eggs with no male caterpillar in there with her? Can you help me?
- December 16, 2010 at 9:50 pm(16) Debbie says:
Hi Ben,
Only the adult butterfly or moth can lay eggs, not the caterpillar. So they aren't eggs. When you say the caterpillar made a sack, do you mean a cocoon? Is the caterpillar still active? Some caterpillars will weave a silken case of sorts to rest in during the day, and then come out to feed at night. I can't say for sure what's happening with yours, since I don't know what kind of caterpillar you've found. If you want, you can post a picture in my forum, along with some information about where you found it geographically, and how large it is. I may be able to give you better advice then. My forum is http://insects.about.com/forum.

They are hard and green and there's little poisones berrys on them. But thats where I found my first caterpillar. Do you think you could tell me what kind they are?

I found a caterpillar a few days ago and since winter just started and it's frigid outside, I just have a few questions:)
1. What can I get him to eat if all the leaves are dead?
2. Will he be able to make it to spring?
3. Is it ok if I keep him in a caterpillar jar in our basement?
4. What's the life span for caterpillars??
Thank you! And please write back as soon as possible!
- December 18, 2011 at 6:49 pm(32) Lex says:
Hi Liss, I just found a caterpillar called Halloween in the winter. It's very cold outside, and I have the same questions as you but I have founds some solutions.
1.) If all of the leaves are dead, do you have any plants outside? If it is not very snowy, some leaves from your garden may stay fresh and make good caterpillar food. Halloween likes to eat grass sometimes, so yours may too.
2.) Most caterpillars will make it to Spring in winter if fed leaves or grass and are contained in an aquarium or large glass container. Make sure the caterpillar is kept in a warm spot where he/she is happy and content.
3.) Yes, as long as the basement is not too cold or too warm and kept away from furnaces or woodburners, or anything too hot or flammable.
4.) I'm not very sure on their lifespan, but it may take them a few weeks or months to form their crysallis. It can take about one or two months to hatch from the crysallis. Some caterpillars being taken care of may die in their cacoon so it is important to keep them fed and happy.

Hi! For as long as I can remember, every summer, butterflies have laid eggs on the tree barks and plastic railings near my house. They look like Cabbage White eggs (they're yellow). I've always felt sorry for them because I live in the city of London and there is definitely no cabbage or any proper food source for these guys in my area. And also, few hatch because the eggs usually get eaten by ladybirds. I'm 15 now, and I decided to take some of the eggs and take care of them. I've taken care of a caterpillar before, but never eggs. They're in a plastic container (it used to have croissants in it, but I've cleaned it out) and I punctured holes (with a needle) all across the top. The eggs are on tissue paper that it is moist. I have no idea when they were laid and I'm afraid they might die before they can hatch. Any advice? Or info as to why they keep getting laid on trees and plastic?

My 2yr old found a cocoon and somehow removed him from his little web sac. This was a few days ago. This cocoon is very cute and is very much still alive and is laying in a safe area. He looks interesting without his covering, however, is he too exposed? Is it possible for him to survive? Should we make some sort of makeshift home for him? We'd like to keep the little guy and hopefully watch him turn. Is that possible? If so, can you tell us what we need to do?

Hi! I'm Steven and I'm 10 years old. We found a green caterpillar with a green head and its not too furry – just a little bit of hair. I don't know if it's a he or a she but it likes to eat corn! I named it Cornapillar. I wonder how to take care of it. I know how to feed it and get it to drink, but what else does it need? That is my real question. I found Cornapillar when my Dad was picking corn in the afternoon, close to sunset. Then, when it was inside the corn cob's leaves. I don't know how it survived the whole thing and all these machines that make the corn! But I am glad that he's now in a safe place! This was on July 15th around 1:00 or 2:00.

The Louisiana Purchase was a huge land purchase by the United States in 1803 which effectively doubled the size of the young nation.
The land, a vast tract of 828,000 square miles, essentially the American Midwest, was bought from France for $15 million.
The land purchase began with President Thomas Jefferson seeking to buy the city of New Orleans, the seaport at the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Envoys sent to France to negotiate a deal for New Orleans were surprised when the French foreign minister, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand, offered to sell France's entire holdings in North America.
The loss of the French colony of Saint Domingue, which became the independent nation of Haiti following a slave rebellion, had prompted the French to abandon their plans for an empire in the Americas.
Jefferson, recognizing the value of the land, made the necessary arrangements, and the sale proceeded, becoming final on December 20, 1803 with the raising of the American flag over New Orleans.
The land in the Louisiana Purchase today encompasses all of six U.S. states and parts of eight others.

FHSU student killed in Thursday accident
Authorities remained on the scene of a Thursday night fatality accident this morning.
The accident claimed the life of a Fort Hays State University student from Belleville. The student was identified as Dylan G. Woodward, 21.
Woodward was westbound in the 1300 block of Spring Hill Road at approximately 9:50 p.m. Thursday when the pickup he was driving collided with another pickup driven by Thomas J. Rack, 21, a resident of rural Ellis County.
Rack suffered minor injuries.
Woodward was transported by ambulance to Hays Medical Center, where he died as a result of injuries suffered in the accident.
The accident remains under investigation.

My Experience in DC: Molly Wheeler
I completed a DC internship during the summer 2012 semester with Business Industry Political Action Committee (BIPAC). BIPAC supplies more than 4,000 business with tools and strategies to help corporations and associations reach their public policy goals. I conducted research for congressional elections in the 2012 cycle. It was an absolutely invaluable experience to implement what I have learned in the classroom in the working world. A Hinckley-Honors Internship was a great way to mix my pursuit of an Honors Degree with my passion for politics.

Fracking Alternative
By tony leather, 25th Apr 2012 | Follow this author
| RSS Feed | Short URL http://nut.bz/18qe589g/
Posted in WikinutGuidesScienceEnergy
Environmental activists claim that this process poses huge risks to both the cleanliness of drinking water and to public health, stating that the potential for deep underground water contamination makes the fracking process an environmental nightmare.
Fracking Alternative
Drilling for natural gas has become more controversial to environmentalists since the introduction of hydraulic fracturing o, dubbed fracking by the media, in which chemicals mixed in with high-pressure water are used, releasing the gas for piping into the system.
Environmental activists claim that this process poses huge risks to both the cleanliness of drinking water and to public health, stating that the potential for deep underground water contamination makes the fracking process an environmental nightmare.
Now, an alternative may be at hand, because the CEO of HyperSolar Incorporated, Tim Young announced that his tech company has developed a method for making natural gas that employs the biggest free energy provider of all, in the form of sunlight.
Not only does the process create natural gas, but it can also clean waste water into the bargain, which may mean that, in time, the need for fracking will disappear. The Santa Barbara-based company believe that as ever more people around the world consume energy, lots more wastewater will be available to make renewable natural gas in this way.
What happens is that millions of nano-particles, containing semiconductor materials are fed into the water, each one acting as a self-contained photo electrochemical system. When hit by sunlight, the particles generate an electric charge which drives a chemical reaction, creating hydrogen at the cathode and oxidizing water at the anode.
The hydrogen gas produced is mixed with CO2 to form methane, main component of natural gas, whilst the oxidation cleans the water. Since the particles can be configured, as required, to remove certain materials from the water, the potential for using other compounds to produce pure chemicals for re-sale is very large indeed.
These chemical reactions have been designed to take place at normal pressures and temperatures, allowing the reactors to be simple and low-cost, like glass vessels. HyperSolar envisions the scaling up of operations via the installation, on available non-productive land of rows of inexpensive reactors.
Carbon-neutral methane produced by these plants could then be piped into the existing natural gas infrastructure, meaning that all kinds of consumers could use it. The company has patented this process, and is currently completing development of the nano-particles, the cost of which they hope to reduce substantially.
The technology is hoped to be on the market in three to five years, though Yale University professor Gary Brudvig, a specialist in alternative energy is doubtful. He says that the process certainly will nott have the capacity to replace fracking because it is based on biomass, though the potential to clean wastewater is a compelling argument in favour of it..
The use of solar light as the single energy input employed to generate methane would make it a very clean fuel source indeed, and it seems that many other research groups are pursuing the same objective, though demonstrating an efficient process a large enough scale is still some way off, though if it does become reality, then future energy needs issues may finally be addressed.

Reggie Bush is a highlight reel. He has the potential to be a Pro Bowl player. He is also a versatile player. He can run the ball, he can catch, and he can return kicks and punts. He is also a game changing player, which is something the Redskins need desperately. This offseason, due to his 13.5 million dollar contract, he could be released. In that event I would like to see the Redskins acquire Reggie Bush. For those of you who would disagree at least hear me out.
1.) We have no game changer on offense besides Santana Moss. But, regretfully he is starting to lose a step. For the first time ever I watched Moss get caught be a linebacker. If we are going to have a good offense the Redskins will need at least 2-3 game changers (home run hitters) on offense.
Example: Saints – Reggie Bush, Drew Brees
Cowgirls- Miles Austin, Felix Jones
Viking- Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin, Sidney Rice
Texans- Steve Slaton, Andre Johnson,
Chargers- Darren Sproles Vincent Jackson
2.) Also the Redskins don't have a punt returner. Bush would assume that job immediately. ARE should never return another punt as a Redskin again.
3.) Mike Shanahan has made 1000 yard running backs out of Olandis Gary, Reuben Droughns, Mike Anderson, and Tatum Bell. Reggie Bush is a serious upgrade over all of these guys. Sometimes a player doesn't work in a certain scheme. I'm positive Mike Shanahan and Bobby Turner can put together the scheme that they ran in Denver. This in turn, could help Reggie Bush reach his potential as a running back.
4.) With the acquisition of Bush we would gain a punt returner, and a game changing running back and a good receiver. Those are important pieces we will need if we are going to ever be successful again.
5.) If we were to acquire Bush off of free agency, then he wouldn't cost us any draft picks and his contract would be reduced.
The Redskins need a game changer in the worst way. We lack excitement and a dominating offense. We have become boring and predictable on offense. Opposing defenses know that if you keep Santana Moss contained that we really are not a threat. Reggie bush would be that other threat. He would be the guy who would keep opposing defenses on their toes and fans at the edges of their seats.
Note: Before anyone says anything about the offensive line; I am assuming the redskins add new starting through both the free agency and the draft.

An Anderson man has been indicted by a Hamilton County grand jury for stealing over $600,000 from an elderly Madeira man.
Duayne Brower, 49, is charged with one count of theft from an elderly person or disabled adult, one count of unauthorized use of property and two counts of securing writings by deception. If convicted of all counts, he faces up to 35 years in prison.
According to the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office, Brower befriended the victim in 2005 when Brower returned to the Cincinnati area after living in Florida. Brower told the victim that he was ill and suffered from numerous ailments including cancer, lung disease, and a mold infection. He told the victim that he was being treated at University Hospital in Cincinnati and also at hospitals in Columbus, Ohio and Tampa, Florida. The victim gave Brower money for what he believed to be necessary medical treatment because Brower told him that he did not have medical insurance. He also told the victim that he was part of a mold infection lawsuit in Florida and expected a $12 million settlement.
In October 2012, the Prosecutor's Office received a tip that Brower was taking advantage of the victim and began an investigation. That investigation resulted in the charges.
Investigators are not releasing the victim's name in order to protect his identity.

CPO: 3 Letters You Need To Know
by Jerry Reynolds
It did not take long to figure out that this was ALL about resale value and ultimately residual values on leases. A couple of manufacturers were already big into CPO sales, and I looked for the best program out there. Much to my surprise it was Jaguar's CPO program that at the time looked the best. Today, every manufacturer has a certified program, although some are better than others.
After traveling from city to city talking to dealers and used car managers, I learned a lot about CPO programs and their benefits for the dealer but most of all for consumers. While most people focus on the long warranty that comes with a CPO vehicle, for me the process of certification is equally as important.
Although the programs vary by manufacturer, they all have processes by which the car goes through a rigorous checklist. Just about everything is checked to make sure it works and is in good order. Many of the programs require such things as new wiper blades, two working keys and remotes if the car is equipped with those, and they must also have a clean history. Management of the dealership has to sign a form saying all work was done.
Other perks of a Certified Pre-Owned car often include incentives such as low interest rates, roadside assistance, and a full tank of gas. In other words, it is as close to a new car as a used car can get, often for a fraction of the price of a new car.
Most CPO cars have the balance of a five or six year warranty that extends to 100,000 miles or beyond. Some of the luxury cars give long warranties on top of current mileage when the car is sold.
Price-wise, certified cars generally run more than non-certified cars, but the process the car goes through, the incentives associated with it, and most of all the warranty that is included makes it all even out in the end. Best of all, you get the peace of mind of knowing the car was gone over with a fine-toothed comb.
The only pitfall is to make sure the Certified Pre-Owned car you look at is part of a factory program. For instance, if you are looking at a Lexus CPO, make sure the dealer is part of the factory program, not his own certified program. Some dealers have tried that and gotten away with it.
All in all, I think Factory Certified Pre-Owned vehicles make a ton of sense and there is no doubt they will save you money, which is why I recommend them so often! Still to this day, I think Ford's Certified program is the best in the industry.
