NFC North Spin cycle: Week Five
After winning Sunday, the 4-1 Vikings and Bears hold a two-game advantage over the 2-3 Packers in the NFC North.
Harvin leads Vikings to 4-1
Percy Harvin had one touchdown rushing and another receiving to help the Vikings to a 30-7 victory over the Titans on Sunday.
Vikings S Smith ejected
Vikings rookie S Harrison Smith was ejected from the Vikings-Titans game on Sunday for pushing a referee.
Defensive front gives Vikings edge again
The Vikings' defensive line has been a big reason for their early-season success.
Key matchup: Titans RB Chris Johnson vs. Vikings defense
Titans RB Chris Johnson finally got going last week against a tough defense, but can he keep it up against the Vikings?
NFC North Spin cycle: Week Four
The surprising Vikings took hold of the NFC North one-fourth of the way through the season with a big win at Detroit.
Two return TDs help lift Vikings past Lions
Percy Harvin returned the opening kickoff 105 yards for a touchdown, helping the Vikings beat the Lions 20-13 Sunday.
Ponder developing nicely for Vikings
Christian Ponder has improved his game in a few important ways, and the Vikings are getting better offensively because of it.
Architect HKS chosen to design new Vikings stadium
The architect who designed stadiums for the Cowboys and Colts has been chosen to design the Vikings' new stadium.
NFC North Spin cycle: Week Three
Surprise, surprise: the Vikings are tied for the division lead. We take a closer look at Minnesota in the NFC North "Spin cycle."
Ponder, Vikings hand 49ers first defeat
Christian Ponder threw two touchdown passes to tight end Kyle Rudolph to help the Vikings hand the 49ers their first defeat, 24-13 on Sunday.
Vikings' LB corps suddenly razor thin
With Erin Henderson out, the Vikings have to do some shuffling with the linebackers against the 49ers.
NFC North Spin cycle: Week Two
Here is our team-by-team take on the state of the NFC North following Week Two.
Vinatieri kicks Colts, Luck to first victory
Adam Vinatieri made a 53-yard field goal with 8 seconds left Sunday to give Andrew Luck and Indianapolis a 23-20 victory over Minnesota.
Winfield misses practice for brother's funeral
Vikings CB Antoine Winfield missed practice on Thursday to attend his brother's funeral.
Kluwe's latest campaign for a cause isn't sitting well with his position coach. Vikings special teams coordinator Mike Priefer says Kluwe needs to "focus on punting and holding." Kluwe has been one of the most outspoken players in the NFL, taking up very public fights for gay marriage and against drunken driving this season. Priefer says "it's getting old."||||||| On Sunday against the Bears, Kluwe put a message over the Hall of Fame patch on his jersey that read "Vote Ray Guy" for the former Raiders punter. It was an effort to raise awareness that the Hall of Fame does not have a punter enshrined, and it cost Kluwe a $5,250 fine from the NFL. Priefer says wants Kluwe to concentrate on his job.
Kluwe says he's had enough with these replacement officials after watching them for three weeks of preseason games in a series of tweets following a 12-10 loss to San Diego on Friday.||||||| Referee Wayne Elliott's crew called 20 penalties in the game, including 14 against the Chargers. They had two calls overturned on review and several others that had players and coaches shaking their heads after the plays.
The Vikings signed Kluwe to a six-year contract extension today, locking him up through 2013, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.||||||| Kluwe ranks 14th in the NFL with an average of 44.2 yards per punt and leads the league with 18 punts inside the 20-yard line.
Kluwe will have reconstructive surgery later this month to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. The Vikings' rookie punter finished sixth in the NFL and second in the NFC with a 44.1-yard gross average this season. He injured the knee against the Detroit Lions on Dec. 4 and played through pain for the final three weeks of the season.|||||||
According to Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Tice, Kluwe will be forced to miss Sunday's matchup with the St. Louis Rams after spraining his ankle in last weekend's win over the Detroit Lions. The team will audition temporary replacements this week.||||||| Kicker Paul Edinger handled the team's punts following Kluwe's departure on Sunday, but the Vikings don't want to go that route again this week. In 12 games this season, Kluwe is averaging 45.3 yards on 58 boots.

Letters to the Editor: Don't Cut THS's funding
I am very saddened about the proposed budget cut for Tunica Humane Society(THS). I am a Veterinarian in Memphis,Tn and have been associated with THS for the past three years. As a past member of the Board of Directors for the Memphis Humane Society, I am fully aware of what an asset THS is to the entire county. Their mission of saving countless animals lives is obvious; however, I suspect the Board of Supervisors is not aware of another invaluble service they are providing. That service is that of Public Health Safety.

Not long ago, I took to Shock's Twitter account and wondered if Kimberly Peirce's upcoming remake of Carrie would embrace the current anti-bullying wave that's being felt in the media.
The movie is the ultimate anti-bully tale, of course, with a misfit lashing out with her telekinetic abilities at her fellow high school classmates. It's certainly thematically relevent for sure, and Peirce agrees.
The director of Boys Don't Cry took to Facebook page recently to talk about her redo, which is scheduled to hit theaters March 15, 2013 with Chloe Moretz playing the titular character.
Peirce writes:
We're still awaiting word on the rest of Moretz's fellow cast members. Hopefully, we'll hear who will fill the shoes of Carrie's mother – a role the rumor mill says will go to either Jodie Foster or Julianne Moore.

While I would give the Bucs based on their outstanding first three picks, a B+ this draft we really could have made this an A+ and draft for the ages if we had made some different later picks and here's how...
5th round: Zebrie Sanders. What!! Throughout most mocks this guy was gone after the second round. That he dropped and was waiting there for us to pick him was a gift. We needed someone to challenge Trueblood for his job and maybe even replace him
6th Billy Winn: Strong defensive tackle from Boise State that could have given us insurance if Price doesn't perform which I believe may happen. This pick could have allowed us to not have to waste a pick next year on a DT
7th: Alfonzo Dennard: solid corner back could develop into starter
7th: Drake Dunsmore works, not much left to work with
What do you think about the bucs later round picks?

Please click on thumbnails for larger images.
Have you ever opened up a product and just felt like you were getting quality hardware? This is one of those times. The PSU comes double boxed, and wrapped in a cloth bag to protect the PSU. The box is substantial, and you know this is a flagship product by the care in packaging. Inside you will find the PSU, a nice glossy instruction manual, and a black Thermaltake bag with a monstrous selection of accessory and power cables. There are some anti-vibration strips as well as mounting screws that are a tad longer than normal for drilling through the anti-vibration strips. There is also a heavy duty power cable to connect the PSU to your wall outlet or power strip, with noise isolators. It's little nuances like this that let you know they thought of everything. The PSU itself is matt black, with an anodized look. There is a red stripe around the PSU, and a RED LED indicator just below the power connection. The whole thing just looks good.

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - A Michigan Congressman says he wants to impeach President Obama, he just needs a reason.
Kerry Bentivolio, who represents Oakland and Wayne counties, told a crowd that impeaching President Obama would be a "dream come true."
He has already looked into how to make that happen. "I have had lawyers come to my office and I asked them how can I impeach the President of the United States? What evidence do you have? You got to have the evidence."
Bentivolio told the crowd while he respects the Office of the Presidency, he can't stand President Obama himself.

It's 4 a.m. Do you know what you're getting charged in 401(k) fees?
Posted By Deb Silverberg On May 2, 2011 @ 4:00 pm In Money & Savings | No Comments
It's not a question that keeps most people up at night — but maybe it should. Or perhaps a better question is this: did you know that 401(k) plans have fees associated with them? If you didn't, you're in good company. In fact, seven in 10 people didn't realize that 401(k) plan providers charge fees to participants, according to a recent AARP study [1].
401(k) plans are still a powerhouse for your retirement funding, especially when some of your contributions are matched by your employer. But over decades, what seems like a small amount can add up big time…to the tune of thousands of dollars — or more. Want to know how much?
New tools are available to help you find out about the potentially hidden costs you may not have noticed in your 401(k) plan's fine print. If you work for a large employer, CNN Money offers a free tool [2]that shows the impact of the fees in your employer's plan. If your employer is not in CNN Money's database, you could use a tool like 401kfee.com [3] just to calculate the impact that a couple of percentage points in fees makes over your lifetime.
After you explore the fee scenarios, check out other tips [4] to help make the most of your 401(k). Every dollar makes a difference, so make your dollars work for you.

Without using a calculator or even pen and paper—or even doing the arithmetic in your head—¿which is the larger product? of:
- 3.01 × 6.99
- 2.99 × 7.01
You know 3 × 7 = 21. But what happens if you gently place your finger on the teeter-totter?
Although this is "just arithmetic" and so doesn't require a learnèd vocabulary of higher mathematics, it touches on a few "higher maths" topics:
- bilinearity being the way I would answer it "conceptually rather than computationally"
- wiggly numbers
- ± ε
- statistical robustness
- tensor product of modules
- isoperimetric inequality
@zentree @isomorphisms what's all that math nonsense? It's just an instance of an isoperimetric inequality.— Messi is my Homeboy (@gappy3000) July 13, 2014
I'll leave the question/reasoning unanswered with a space for you to answer which is larger and why.
3±ε × 7∓ε = 21±¿?

Final checks are under way: Antarctic 'lost world' to be explored
Lake Ellsworth lies below ice that is at least two miles (3.2km) thick.
Its pitch-black waters have remained isolated and unseen for up to half a million years.
This will be the first attempt to extract uncontaminated samples of water and sediment from a body of water so far below the surface.
The investigation is part of a search to understand the limits of where life is possible and, despite the high pressures and lack of sunlight, it is likely that microbes will be detected.
The lake is about 14km long, 3km wide and 160m deep - about the size of Lake Windermere, England's largest.
In a region of Antarctica notorious for its low temperatures and near-constant winds, operating at this location is a huge challenge.
The project is made all the tougher because of the need for all the equipment to be kept sterile throughout the process.
Now the experiment is set we can hit the Go button."

Been following this for about well over a decade. The tech is now there, I just hope they are not going to use the Russian bore holes full of oil and contaminate, must be tempting though, the bore hole is only 100 metres from the lake.

Your UCard
Your UCard is your campus ID, meal card, debit card, and the key to the main entrance of your residence hall, your Residential Service Desk, and other halls where you take your classes or work.
As a resident student, you are required to have a working UCard at all times. Carry it with you and be ready to present your UCard to campus staff when asked for identification. Your UCard is your personal ID. Do not loan your UCard to anyone else.
How it works
To unlock one of the main entrances to which you have access, pass your UCard (photo side to the left) through the slot on the card reader. You'll hear a click as the door is momentarily 'unlocked' to allow you to enter the building.
NOTE: Be sure not to pass your card through the reader too quickly. Doing so could cause an error message and no access. If this happens, try it again a little more slowly.
What should I do if my UCard does not work?
If you experience difficulty using your UCard, contact your Residential Service Desk immediately.
When reporting a problem, please include the following:
• The location of the door you were trying to access
• The time of day when you experienced the problem
• Tthe message the card reader displayed when the door would not open, e.g. "Accepted"; "Invalid Card"; "Rejected"; "Insert Card"; "Stand By"; etc.
• The Residential Service Desk will verify your residency in the hall, and then help you to resolve the problem. If necessary, the Residential Service Desk will contact card access staff for assistance.
What if my UCard is lost or stolen?
Report a lost or stolen UCard to your Residential Service Desk immediately, and request that the card be deactivated. This will prevent an unauthorized person from using your card to gain access to your residence hall. If the Residential Service Desk is closed, call Housing Services, 545-0812. Then call the UCard Office, 545-0197 so that the Meal Plan and Debit Account access on your card can be suspended.
As soon as possible, go to the UCard Office to receive a new card. The UCard Office is located in Room 168 in the Whitmore Administration Building. Normal business hours are Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Please be aware that you are responsible for the cost of replacing your UCard.
If the loss or theft occurs when the UCard Office is closed, you may sign out a temporary access card at your Residential Service Desk. You may use the temporary access card only until the UCard Office is open again to allow you to get a replacement card..
If you do not return the temporary access card to your Residential Service Desk within two business days, the card will be deactivated and you will be billed for the cost of replacing the temporary card.

If the sheriff's department raises $500 for Neighbor's Network, the investigators will shave their heads. If they reach $1,000, Sheriff Pat Heinert also will go hairless. Neighbor's Network is a local service that connects mainly poverty-level families with resources to keep children from having problems that could affect their school success and social or emotional development.

Three outstanding chapters were honored at the 87th World Conference in Orlando. Many chapters worked hard to fill the top spots, a fact that was reflected in the close races in each of the chapter categories. However, only one chapter in each size category was able to earn the title of 2013 Chapter of the Year.
Medium Chapter of the Year: Detroit Chapter
Congratulations to these chapters on this time-honored achievement. To reward the winning chapters' efforts, we are eligible to receive a Club Management Institute-endorsed grant for $3,000 sponsored by The Club Foundation. All three chapter of the year winners were also recognized at the Awards and Conference Finale with a trophy and will have their names engraved on the overall Chapter of the Year trophy, which is displayed at CMAA National Headquarters! There were many outstanding entries. While all chapters are automatically entered into this award program, only those chapters submitting a chapter résumé are eligible to win. This piece helps the judging committee to better recognize the unique accomplishments of each chapter. Impressive accomplishments were abundant – all CMAA members should be proud of the level of excellence that exists within the Association's chapter system.
The DCMA also finished second in Membership Growth behind the St. Louis Chapter. The DCMA also took second place for the medium chapter category in the Excellence in Education Awards.
Congratulations to the DCMA on winning this most prestigious award. It would not have been possible without the support of every single member of the Chapter.

Props to the RI Youth Conservation League
The Rhode Island Youth Conservation League helped the Land Trust build the first bridge on our Bradner Preserve.
Great bunch of people — and, man, what hard workers! You can learn a little bit more about their conservation efforts in this video on YouTube:
New trail at the Crawley Preserve
Take a hike. On the new Red Trail at Crawley. It starts to the left of the kiosk and tracks pretty much up the middle of the preserve through some interesting terrain, including some beech grove, boulder and ledge patches, and a short brook-side segment.
Just follow the red blazes.
Building Bridge II on Bradner Sept 24
The Land Trust will construct the second bridge on the Bradner Preserve on Saturday, Sept. 24 starting at 8:30 a.m.
If you want to enjoy some classic RI woodland and get a little exercise, not to mention catching a great vibe after creating a fine architectural wonder, come join us.
Bradner has a very interesting glacial erratic (I learned this term from a geologist friend and use it every chance I get) perched high on a rock outcropping.
Unfortunately, Bradner also experiences young teenagers with paint cans from time to time.

As the sun sets behind me, I walk up the steps of my uncle and aunt's lake home. They've asked me to baby-sit my eight-year-old cousin, Tommy, while they shop for his Christmas presents. Tommy's a smart kid, and reads people exceptionally well. As his parents pull out of the driveway, he says, "They're not really going to a party, are they?"
"What are you talking about?" I ask.
"Mommy told me they're going to a party. But they dress up when they go to parties, and they're not dressed up. So what are they really doing?" he asks.
"Eat some pizza," I laugh. "You're wise beyond your years, you know that," I say and take a bit of my own pizza. He stares at me blankly.
Around 8:30 Tommy is playing video games in the living room, and I am making popcorn. Through the calm darkness comes the sound of shattering glass. I run to the living room to see if Tommy is alright.
Since he's still playing his game, I ask, "What happened?" His glass of juice lays in a million pieces on the floor.
Tommy turns and looks me in the eyes, and with the straightest face an eight-year-old can make, he says, "I didn't do it."
"I didn't ask if you did, I just ask what happened," I correct him. "I don't care if you did it anyway ..."
"I didn't!" he yells.
"Well, if you didn't, who did?" I ask.
Tommy squirms a little. "I, uh, I don't know."
"Fuzzy Wuzzy," I say quietly, thinking aloud.
"Fuzzy Wuzzy?" Tommy asks, perplexed.
"Yeah, Fuzzy Wuzzy. Until you can tell me who did it, I'm going to call you Fuzzy Wuzzy."
"What! Why?" Tommy complains.
"Because you don't like it," I answer, with a diabolical smirk. "Lying isn't good, especially over little things." My plan is to annoy him into a confession.
"But I didn't break it," he pleads.
"Okay, Fuzzy, whatever you say," I begin to pick up the glass.
"Stop calling me Fuz ...
"Okay, Fuzz," I cut him off. "Fuzz, I kind of like that," I laugh. He doesn't find it funny. "Why don't you go grab that popcorn while I finish cleaning up. Then we can watch your movie."
Excited about watching the movie, Tommy runs to the kitchen and grabs the popcorn.
"Fuzzy! Oh, Fuzzy. Fuzzy Wuzzy, where are you, Fuzzy? C'mon, Fuzz, where are ya?"
"Stop calling me that!" Tommy shrieks, running back into the room. "Alright, I did it. I dropped the glass; now stop calling me Fuzzy!" His eyes are starting to fill with tears.
"Oh, come here, buddy," I say and pull him onto the couch. "That's all you had to say. Do you see it's not a good thing to lie?"
"Yeah," he mutters.
"Are you going to lie anymore?" I persist.
"No," he says, louder.
"Good, now let's watch this movie," I continue.
Seemingly forgetting the whole incident, a smile adorns his face and he grabs the popcorn, devouring it. An hour later, his parents return.
"How did it go?" my aunt asks.
"It went well, and I think he learned a good lesson," I reply.
"Really, what's that?" she asks.
"Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't very funny," I joke. She stares at me in utter confusion. "I wouldn't lie in front of your son anymore, either. It's setting a bad example."
As I head out the door to the car, I pass my uncle coming in with a big bag filled with what has to be presents. When I step outside, I hear him greet Tommy,"Hey, little man."
"Where have you been? What's in the bag?" Tommy interrogates.
"These, these are, um, party gifts."
As the door closes, Tommy says, "Okay ... sure, Fuzzy Wuzzy." .

"If you want a serious interrogation, you send a prisoner to Jordan. If you want them to be tortured, you send them to Syria. If you want someone to disappear - never to see them again - you send them to Egypt." - Former CIA agent Robert Baer
The CIA calls it "extraordinary rendition". It's bureaucratic shorthand for a policy that is anything but routine. The policy in question: The secret transfer of terrorism suspects to detention facilities outside the United States. Outside – to be more precise - the protection of international and U.S. law.
This BBC documentary Mystery Flights, presented in Link TV's special investigative series Spotlight, reveals how a British resident from Ethiopia ended up in a prison in Morocco; how a German car dealer was kidnapped in Macedonia and flown out to Afghanistan, and what role an old, disused runway in Poland played in the darker side of the war on terror.

Two Way players: Good or Bad for FSU?
This is just a piece to air out the conversation that seems to pop up over and over and will probably pick up steam as the season draws closer. Obviously we all know that Greg Reid is a beast with the ball in his hands, as is Lamarcus Joyner. There are pros and cons to using them on offense in addition to their defensive duties and I think its a fun little discussion to have. Personally, I'm somewhat split on the idea, but we'll see what the tomahawknation.com community thinks about it.

I bought this low boy and found that the hydraulic pump was leaking into the engine oil. Got a rebuild kit and that problem is solved. Couldn't get Hytran around here, but got some Citgo hydraulic fluid that says its a replacement for Hytran Plus right on the lable.
The problem is the hydraulics will lift my Fast hitch mounted Bush Hog when cold, but once it warms up it gets sluggish and won't lift unless I help it with my arms. Any idea whats wrong?

Hi Kore, Thank you for your invite, or a invertation to chat upon the holy grounds of Isreal. i only wonder what sananda would make if he placed his feet firmly upon the soils of isreal today? i was at the sea of galalea near the greek othodox church on easter sunday. There where many people gathered there---some where jewish others where arabics.They where singing in the sunshine and one younger girl started playing a guitar and sang, but was slightly embaresed. i spoke and and in english---gave here a thumbs --up---and mentioned good. They understood completly. my daughter in law--asked why i spoke to them, being arabs. She said we do not do that, it was similar in another location a few days before. There was a monk from siberia dressed in vivid yellow. He may of been respected, and other dressed in orange t shirts these where setlers had to wear there orange to seperate ther identity from jewish people. This is a seperation of faiths that devide people. Many people cannot unite because of there beliefs---and gods leading to poor human comprehensions. There god is in first place and others second---a unfathomable prediction leading to strife and wars. it is to me 2000 years passed and change is limited, so i raised the question of sananda---jesus preasance being observed allways---as a spiritual ascended one--or divine spirit. We of coarse are spiritual before birth and connecting with any religious belief systems. It would seem we only need to be spiritual---and religion can be in our hearts also. There is not a problem. We seem to disrespect without knowing anothers heart. You see. Ashtar---is connected to the trinity of oneness---as a messenger from the galatic consciousness. Many religions forget other worlds--because they do not connect, this is a false teachings. We a fractional of all the universal principles--and unity is at our doorstep. i pray in this time line to 2013, we connect to our universal brothers and sisters---Jesus is a star disciple of many under the energy of oneness--the trinity and ashtar are a continuem from many creations--and lifeforms. You call this the ashtar command. They tell me they are the sentients ones---it is not important to them what you call them, they understand your lot and hope you achieve a connection---i thank you and give blessings to my guides--eagleye
inside the greek othodox church, If we where more united---all would feel comfortable to enter the house of god. if we except the principle of one god, but many disciples as many worlds and lifeforms. it is easier to our minds. We cannot judge until our past is more known. We could be born a jew or a reptillian---there are both good and lesser good in many galaxies. if we unite and change within--we will understand we incarnate and add the positive to vibrate to higher understandings----peace and positivity is the key to our future being.
veiw from the church in Capernaum
outside the greek othodox chuch in Capernaum--along the Sea of Galilee
Me taking a breather, in one picture the old guy with the stick, it is difficult to walk as a stroke victim---one arm is like a heavy suitcase and a leg that feels nothing, i am blessed because otheres cannot see or move from there beds of ilness. Some never see day light but see the light of god shine in there lives, Being rich is poor in a comparision to understanding the self and the greater-- we call the universe and the universal mind of the creator god. Many exterterrestrials in the Ashtar command follow this principle. i will finaly say in finishing i do not convey until i am certain it is correct from my channels. If you link to one of my later post you can read about the trinity and Ashtar.- blessing to kerrie and all administrators and forum memberships
thank you everyone here, thank you Brian for your thoughts and the beautiful photos, thank you Kore for sharing about your experience. I am sorry you had to feel rejected as a child about your curiosity about religion and spirituality. love to all here. shalom.

Shadow of your heart, a Rose/Loki fic
Part One Part Two Part Three
"Loki, you complete tosser!"
"Ah, Rose, you're always so lovely in the morning."
"Don't you pull that shit with me. I have been lookin' for me notes the past hour."
She was often angry these days. Not as much as he was, in the beginning. In the beginning he lashed out, sometimes physically, a rage coiled inside of him like a deadly snake. But never at her. There was something strange, uncanny, about his blue and yellow human. Something he never could put his finger on, something that seeped into his skin each day. It was like a balm to his torn and raw heart, an odd power that radiated from her like a star. Like the stars that were slowly but surely blinking out of the night sky.
But oh, he did love it when she was angry at him. Her cheeks turned a brilliant pink, a color that suited her. But not as much as that blue leather jacket she wore like armor, the one she wore now as she stormed across the room to where he sat sprawled in an armchair. In her fist was a shredded mass of paper.
"It was stuck under your desk as I was vacuuming, how was I supposed to see it?" Loki protested, raising his hands up in placation. "I suggest you take better care of your notes."
"If you really wanted to destroy somethin', why not try Earth like a normal alien? At least then I'd have reason enough to shoot ya without all the paperwork at Torchwood."
"Been there, done that," he tossed back casually.
"They were about the dimension canon, you twat. I needed them. Do you even care?" She threw the wad at him in frustration and stomped out the back door.
She ignored him. With a heavy sigh Loki levered himself off of the chair and out to the back porch. He told himself that he only followed her because banished or not, the very little power he had left here was his way with words; gathering, giving, twisting, destroying information. That made him more trouble than he was worth, but on his own, fallen…that was all he had left now.
And her. But he didn't really have the blue-and-yellow spitfire, did he? No, the woman staring out across the Channel belonged to another god.
Though, truth be told, Loki never was one to honor any sense of boundaries.
"I am sorry."
"No, you're not," Rose sighed. "You're not like…" She did not finish, she didn't have to. It always did come to this. She told him, once, about her Doctor. How Loki reminded her of him in some ways. But certainly not in others, though Rose could only guess at the extent of those comparisons.
He never told her why he fell, or anything about where he came from. He just wanted to forget. He just wished she would want to forget, too.
"Oh, fine. If it makes you feel better—" With a dash of magic and a flourish he pulled the notes, fully restored, from his pocket.
"How did you—"
"I was saving that party trick for your mother, but I suppose I'll have to charm her some other way the next time she deems me worthy to invite to another damn Vitex circus."
"What will you lift off her this time?" Rose asked dryly. "Her watch?"
"I was thinking her earrings," Loki mused.
"She'll smack you again, you know," she pointed out.
"I think that means she's starting to like me."
"You're impossible."
Loki reached for her waist, a self-indulgent grin on his face.
"Oh, but you love it."
"Loki," she warned.
He shrugged off the move with a light-hearted chuckle and instead leaned forward onto the railing. He enjoyed the novelty of living in a realm and in a circle of people unfamiliar to his true nature, but he couldn't quite shake the feeling that Rose knew more about him than he ever shared with her. As much as he didn't completely fit in with his brother and his circle of friends, this alternate Midgard was worse.
And this is why he had to keep Rose working on the dimension canon.
"You really are set on this ridiculous project of yours, then?"
"I've always been set, Loki. I didn't think you would need to shred my notes to realize that."
"You're risking death each time you jump."
"The stars are goin' out. I don't have a choice."
"You don't even know if he'll be on the other side."
"I'm not givin' up on that. Can we just leave it, Guns?"
"Only if you stop calling me that…Roses."
"Yeah, mate. I got it." But Rose grinned at him then, and he knew it was genuine.
He's lied enough for the both of them, anyway.
"I shouldn't be alive."
Rose looked at his face, which he carefully kept smooth and emotionless. She stilled as well, almost as if she thought he'd bolt or forget his sincerity. He wanted to laugh bitterly at that. As if he ever was sincere with her.
"I still don't think I should be. I've done terrible things, Rose, and I have suffered the consequences. You helped me when I was completely alone, and I owe you a great debt because of it. So listen to me when I say this."
He reached over for her hand, turning to face her.
"You aren't going to help anything by staying here, I know that," he said, voice soft and earnest. "But is it possible that you are just grasping at false hope? You have your family here. You have a home, a life; everything I have lost. Let Torchwood continue the blasted dimension canon. And stay."
"I'm the only one who knows how to find the Doctor, and he's the only one who can help us find out what is happening to the universes."
"He left you here, Rose," Loki said, his tone becoming more urgent. "You're doing more than he ever would to get you back."
"Well maybe that's true!" she exclaimed, ripping her hand out of his. "Maybe he made the right choice leavin' me here. But at least I'm runnin' to fix something. It's more than I can say for you!"
Loki grit his teeth, biting back his anger. He wanted to tell her she didn't know a damn thing about what he was doing. He wanted to shout at her, shake her for putting such blind faith in a person that had stranded her, abandoned her.
"I…I'm sorry, Loki. I didn't…"
Rose made a motion like she was about to reach out to him, but she dropped her hand before she dropped her gaze. He watched her silently as she walked back into the house. When the door closed behind her, he turned to stare out into the grey sky.
Pushing her away from him and to the Doctor was the only way she would work harder, faster. It was the only way he had the chance of leaving this horrendously domestic life and this pitiful mortal planet, but it was also the only way Loki could stop Rose from keeping him as her own personal pity project. But she didn't need to know that bit.
He conjured a rock to throw into the waves in front of him, letting the persistent darkness in his mind envelop him.
He couldn't stand the thought of losing Rose, but he hated the thought of her sympathy all the more.

(01/21/14) - There's no doubt about it, it's been a little chilly outside - perfect conditions for pond hockey.
"It's just hockey the way it is. If you're cold, you're just not skating enough," said Steve McDermaid, of the Lake Fenton Winter Classic.
The third annual Lake Fenton Winter Classic takes over five rinks on Barnum Lake in Fenton Township this weekend. Games begin Saturday morning and run through Sunday afternoon. It's one of only four tournaments sanctioned by Labatt Blue.
"You have to have a tournament that people are actually going to want to come and play in. The biggest sponsor that you can have on your side is Labatt Blue distributors," McDermaid said.
Forty teams will take the ice, with 300 or so players coming in from around the Mid West and Canada - providing a big boost for area businesses and local causes. Last year's tournament raised around $2,000.
"We support the local hockey programs here. A lot of the kids that come out here spend their time refereeing and we make a nice donation to their program to continue the legacy here on the pond," McDermaid said.
As for the pond, early Tuesday morning, volunteers hit the ice for a safety check.
"We've got at least 14 to 16 inches of ice. It's definitely chilly. This year, we didn't have to build boards because mother nature has cooperated. We've got snow banks, so we'll play hockey as it was intended to play right here on Barnum Lake," McDermaid said.
That's an improvement from last year, when conditions were nothing short of soupy at times.
"By two o'clock on Saturday, we ended up calling the games and started again the next morning just for safety issues. This year, we don't foresee any issues," McDermaid said.
Up for grabs again this year is the coveted Des Crowley Memorial Cup. The only downside to these frigid temperatures is that the winning team won't be able to celebrate in the most proper and traditional fashion.
"You can't kiss the cup. Well, you can, but you just might not be able to take it back off your lips," McDermaid said.
The Lake Fenton Winter Classic begins with a kickoff party Friday night at the Fireplace, right on Barnum Lake.

Mountain West proposes 16-team playoff
Doubt this ever happens, but this is the first proposal I have seen that is actually close to how I would envision a playoff. The changes I would make to it: 1. Have the quarterfinals at the top seeds stadium, the week after Week 1 (this proposal uses the BCS games) 2. Use the BCS games to play the semifinals rotating between the 4 sites, with the 4 losers of the quarters matching up in the other 2 BCS games. 3. If the Rose Bowl balks, allow them to take the Top PAC12 and B1G school not in the Final 8 and substitute the Cotton Bowl/Jerry Jones stadium as the fourth BCS bowl.

14Paula Deen Likes The Idea Of A Slavery Themed Restaurant
Paula Deen is doing her best to uphold the bad stereotypes some people believe about Southerners. Deen was under deposition because she was sued by a former manager of Deen's restaurant. The manager, Lisa Jackson, claims that Paula Deen used "the n-word" and also that Deen's brother, Bubba Hiers (yeah), sexually harassed and assaulted her. The manager, not Paula Deen. You can put your own incest redneck joke here if you want to. Jackson is also suing for racial discrimination.
Deen didn't deny these allegations at all. She was very open about her use of "the n word" and about the novelty of dressing waiters as slaves in restaurants. Her deposition reads like a censored Tarantino film. Here are some excerpts, from The Huffington Post:
Lawyer: Have you ever used the N-word yourself?
Deen: Yes, of course.
Lawyer: Okay. In what context?
Deen: Well, it was probably when a black man burst into the bank that I was working at and put a gun to my head.
Lawyer: Okay. Well, did you use the N-word to him as he pointed a gun in your head at your face?
Deen: Absolutely not.
Lawyer: Well, then, when did you use it?
Deen: Probably in telling my husband.
Lawyer: Okay. Have you used it since then?
Deen: I'm sure I have, but it's been a very long time.
Lawyer: Well, then tell me the other context in which you've used the N-word?
Deen: I don't know, maybe in repeating something that was said to me.
Lawyer: Like a joke?
Deen: No, probably a conversation between blacks. I don't — I don't know. But that's just not a word that we use as time has gone on. Things have changed since the '60s in the south. And my children and my brother object to that word being used in any cruel or mean behavior. As well as I do.
Lawyer: Are you aware of Mr. Hiers admitting that he engaged in racially and sexually inappropriate behavior in the workplace?
Deen: I guess [You guess? You guess your brother sexually harassed someone? Woman this is not The Price Is Right, there's nothing to guess here.]
Lawyer: Okay. Well, have you done anything about what you heard him admit to doing?
Deen: My brother and I have had conversations. My brother is not a bad person. Do humans behave inappropriately? At times, yes. I don't know one person that has not. My brother is a good man. Have we told jokes? Have we said things that we should not have said, that — yes, we all have. We all have done that, every one of us.
Lawyer: What about jokes, if somebody is telling a joke that's got –
Deen: It's just what they are, they're jokes.
Lawyer: Okay. Would you consider those to be using the N word in a mean way?
Deen: That's — that's kind of hard. Most — most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, black folks. Most jokes target — I don't know. I didn't make up the jokes, I don't know. I can't — I don't know. [...what? "Most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, and black folks"? Woman, listen to some Mitch Hedberg or something, it's time to throw out your 1950's joke book.]
Lawyer: Do you recall using the words "really southern plantation wedding"?
Deen: Yes, I did say I would love for Bubba to experience a very southern style wedding, and we did that. We did that.
Lawyer: Okay. You would love for him to experience a southern style plantation wedding?
Deen: Yes.
Lawyer: That's what you said?
Deen: Well, something like that, yes. And -–
Laywer: Okay. And is that when you went on to describe the experience you had at the restaurant in question?
Deen: Well, I don't know. We were probably talking about the food or –- we would have been talking about something to do with service at the wedding, and –-
Lawyer: Is there any possibility, in your mind, that you slipped and used the word "n—-r"?
Deen: No, because that's not what these men were. They were professional black men doing a fabulous job.
Lawyer: Why did that make it a -– if you would have had servers like that, why would that have made it a really southern plantation wedding?
Deen: Well, it –- to me, of course I'm old but I ain't that old, I didn't live back in those days but I've seen the pictures, and the pictures that I've seen, that restaurant represented a certain era in America.
Lawyer: Okay.
Deen: And I was in the south when I went to this restaurant. It was located in the south.
Lawyer: Okay. What era in America are you referring to?
Deen: Well, I don't know. After the Civil War, during the Civil War, before the Civil War.
Lawyer: Right. Back in an era where there were middle-aged black men waiting on white people.
Deen: Well, it was not only black men, it was black women.
Lawyer: Sure. And before the Civil War –- before the Civil War, those black men and women who were waiting on white people were slaves, right?
Deen: Yes, I would say that they were slaves.
Lawyer: Okay.
Deen: But I did not mean anything derogatory by saying that I loved their look and their professionalism.
Lawyer: And when you described it [the restaurant] to Miss Jackson [...] Do you know what word you used to identify their race? [...] Black or African-American?
Deen: Black. I would use the word black. I don't usually use African-Americans. I try to go along with whatever the black race is wanting to call themselves at each given time.
So there you go! Can't wait for her publicist to release an official statement.

I mean…I grew up in Virginia, and the fact of the matter is that that state is an altogether different thing than Georgia, which is where Paula Deen lives. In the last few years, I have read multiple news stories about segregated school dances in Georgia. Also, there are more KKK members in Texas (where I currently live) than in any other state. Even though our country has made great strides as a whole, there remain pockets of the Deep South that are shockingly racist.
no wonder someone hit her in the face with a frozen ham
I don't see anything wrong. She said those men were not "N" they were professional black men.
How I view race is there is such thing as regular normal black people, but there are also "N" ones such as gang members, convicts etc. just like there are normal white people but then there are honkys and red necks. I believe that's what she meant.
You're a fucking moron.
Wow….totally disappointed by Paula's comments. I will never dine at her place or listen to anything she has to say anymore.
I think she is one of those older people in the south who are clearly reminiscent about the antebellum South and she really doesn't "get it." Since these black guys were "professionally" serving, she's cool with it because that's the way it was. What's disturbing is the "serving" part. She minimizes the horrifying actuality of slavery because the black servers are professional. As a side note, if I was a black guy, or girl, I would never, ever sign up for a job like that in that context. Jobs are harder to get, but not THAT much harder.
Want some cheese with that whine?
Fuck this. Fuck this in its stupid ass. Fuck this woman's ham, fuck this woman's butter, fuck this woman's restaurant. This woman pisses me off. I don't express myself well when I'm pissed. Fuck this bacon grease drinking, butter lube using piece of elistist garbage.
I found that pretty concise.
i would like to see the stink'n, fat azz, racist b**ch- Paula and her racist, fat, sick, nympho brother to "SERVE" Jewish, Rednecks and Black people for a month and have them be treated as she and her sick brother have done to others!!!! Oh yes… posting videos of their sick azzez every moment "professionally Serving" people of other than their kind. i bet those idiots would look really sexy chained up as they "SERVED". Ha!
I don't care who you are, ANYBODY who is an American citizen should NOT have to answer questions like this!!! Have you ever used the "N" word and when was the last time you used it? I would answer with, "Well, let me tell you that the last time I used the "F" word was is 1 second from now, Fuck Off!!!"
Let me add, I'm over 40 and I admit that I've never even heard of this lady until about a year ago so my point is not to back HER up. My point backs up the First Amendment. Now I DO agree that "celebs" have to watch themselves way more than us regular folks but if they're American citizens they can say what ever the fuck they want also. Besides NO ONE SAYS "NIGGA" MORE THAN THE BROTHA'S ANYWAY! I know this first hand cuz they say it at my pad all the time and THEY even say people need to grow up and get over it. Maybe Native Americans should start havin a pissy fit over the word Redskins!
They actually do get into hissy fits about "Redskins" sports team. derp.

Oil fell in Asian trade today as concerns over the Euro Zone's debt woes pressure financial markets, including commodities, analysts said.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for September delivery, sank $1.13 to $90.70 a barrel, while Brent North Sea crude for delivery in September eased 86 cents to $105.97.
Spain's ability to handle its finances is spooking investors this time amid worries that the country, the fourth largest economy in the Euro Zone bloc, would need a bailout.
The country was forced to pay borrowing costs above 7.0 per cent in a 10-year bond sale, a level considered unsustainable and that pushed Greece, Ireland and Portugal into asking for bailouts.
"The Euro Zone crisis has become the focus again," Singapore's DBS bank said in a commentary.
"The market's main fear is that Spain may require a full bailout some time in the future," it said.
Crude futures had soared in recent sessions, hitting two-month highs on Thursday, as traders worried that rising tensions in the oil-rich West Asia will hamper supplies.

Apparently the same guy who tweeted the potential suspension of Melky Cabrera, four weeks before it actually happened last year, is laying another bombshell out there. He's using an anonymous source to make this claim so take this with a grain of salt but it's a big news story if true.
Ignoring the validity of credibility for this report, this would be huge news to the Rays (as well as my fantasy team). This would definitely put a dark cloud over the Yankees, as well as MLB, but the Rays would benefit immensely from a potentially severely weakened Yanks squad. With the AL East being wide open this year any negative outcomes for the rest of the division are welcome.
As a Rays fan who lives in NYC, it would add a plethora of quality jokes to my repertoire. Even if this report ends up being false please take caution drafting any of these fellows in fantasy because "I told you so!" would certainly follow. Once again odds are this will probably go away within a month with no validation and we will have to deal with Cano and Granderson (at some point) this season but as a Rays fan in NYC, one can hope.

BREAKING NEWS: Parking charges in the Cotswolds could be set to drop (From Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard)
Get involved: send your pictures, video, news and views by texting WGS NEWS to 80360, or email us
Cotswold District Council's cabinet are set to vote on proposals to reduce parking prices
5:00pm Wednesday 9th January 2013 in Cotswolds news By Ian Craig
PARKING charges in the Cotswolds could be significantly reduced if plans by Cotswold District Council are approved.
CDC announced this afternoon that its cabinet would discuss plans to bring down parking charges across the district at a meeting on Thursday January 17.
Among the plans are a £2 all-day tariff at the Beeches Car Park in Cirencester and the introduction of 50p short stay charges at all council car parks.
The cabinet will also consider proposals to introduce a new five-hour season ticket targeted at part-time workers.
This would mean drivers who use the car parks for five hours or less a day would only pay £288 for a season ticket rather than having to shell out up to £460.
Parking charges have been a hotly-debated issue in the Cotswolds for many years.
Last year CDC prompted fury when it introduced 24-hour parking charges at Cirencester's Brewery Car Park, a move which saw residents and opposition councillors take to the streets in protest.
Cabinet member for the environment Cllr David Fowles (Con, Hampton) said the plans were the result of public consultation by the Cirencester Parking Partnership – an organisation formed by CDC, Cirencester Town Council and the town's chamber of commerce.
"We are conscious that some people want to pop in to their local high street for a very quick shop and the 50p half hour offer should encourage this habit while freeing up parking spaces more frequently," he said.
He added he hoped the Beeches car park would attract more users if the plans were approved.
Other plans include harmonising prices in Tetbury's Church Street and West Street car parks and to bring charges in Moreton-in-Marsh in line with other market towns in the Cotswolds, meaning some the cost of some tickets would reduce by almost half.
For reaction to the proposals see next week's Standard.

Olly Cromwell says...
Nothing to do with Tory Council Leader Stowe winning 'Private Eye' Brassed Neck Councillor of the Year for raising such revenues 'unlawfully'?
9:10pm Wed 9 Jan 13
Union Man says...
Of course if you don't want the reductions you can always lobby Cabinet to keep them the same or indeed put them up.
That's what opposition is about, to oppose......
5:16am Thu 10 Jan 13
Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum says...
Which means ... nothing will happen.
12:12pm Thu 10 Jan 13
Council Taxpayer says...
When will Cllrs Stowe and Fowles stop ripping off the motorist to make excessive profits in a bid to look competent by avoiding hikes in council tax?
And can they answer this question? How many free parking spaces are provided for officers and out-of-town (and out-of-touch) Tory councillors at the Trinity Road council offices? Shouldn't council staff and cabinet members be feeling the pain along with everyone else?
12:57pm Thu 10 Jan 13
Union Man says...
1:16pm Thu 10 Jan 13
Pentheus says...
Harmonise all charges with Stow on the Wold .....it's free!!! CDC must have missed that one.....
2:47pm Thu 10 Jan 13
Council Taxpayer says...
Surely it should be pay and display like all the other council car parks in Cirencester so that the pain can be shared fairly.
With CDC making an obscene, and possibly unlawful, £1.4 million profit from car parking charges last year, this is a perk too far.

Susie Clark says...
5:20pm Thu 10 Jan 13
Council Taxpayer says...
The part-time workers now required to pay £288 each for season tickets can ill afford the charge. Why should they be less advantaged than well-paid officers at the council offices who are protected from their own authority's greed by being allowed to park free on land owned by the taxpayer?
Though it is run by a cabinet presided over by one company - Cotswold Media - CDC is not a private business, even if it often tends to operate like one. It is perfectly legitimate to argue that council workers should pay to park in a council car park - just like the rest of us.
7:14pm Thu 10 Jan 13
dopey1 says...
According to Duedil.com , the "Due Diligence" website, Cotswold Media Ltd's book value is minus £77,080!
That's a lot of car-parking.
12:06am Fri 11 Jan 13
daver22 says...
That was 1/3rd of a weeks wages when I started (£1 10s was the salary) work.
The other reason that it should be free is when those people arrive but don't have the change, what about the machines giving change.
4:09pm Fri 11 Jan 13
Susie Clark says...
Second thought - perhaps you'd prefer CDC to sell their car park for building - they'd make a lot more money for the taxpayers like yourself.
Or is that being greedy ?
10:19am Sat 12 Jan 13
Council Taxpayer says...
It is a huge scam to allow the Tory administration to fulfil its pledge not to increase council tax,
Private companies can, of course, provide free parking for their workers as part of their business model.
But, if a local authority chooses to do so, it does indicate double standards by the administration which is protecting its own worker from the misery it heaps on others.
The car park at Trinity Road is not private property - it belongs to the local taxpayer. Ordinary workers paying to park in municipal car parks are threfore subsiding free parking for staff at CDC.
8:31pm Tue 15 Jan 13
Union Man says...
What do you reckon they could get for the Forum Susie?.
Or how about flogging Trinity Road and building a new HQ at Burford or Upper Rissington for "Woxwold" District?

I first heard about Diner en Blanc while reading some blogs. It sound like a fun event and I wanted to join. But after reading the strict rules and regulations, I have second thoughts. It's just not my type of event. However I still find it interesting and even plan on heading down to the venue to take some photos so that I can share with everyone how the first Asia Diner en Blanc looks like.
But the events that happen today leaves a bad taste in my mouth. You can read the full story on Daniel's Food Diary and Moonberry Blog. In summary, the organisers felt that local food like Tua Huay, Hainanese Chicken Rice and Xiao Long Bao are not high quality enough for Diner en Blanc and they decided to uninvite all the bloggers because a blogger suggest bringing local food.
Firstly, I find it insulting when someone say that our local food is of low quality. This is our culture. Our local dish. What gives you the rights to say that our food not as high quality as your food. This is no different from putting up a sign that says dog and local not allowed. This is pure discrimination. I don't know how things works in France, but we have no place for discrimination in Singapore.
If the organisers say attendees need to bring high quality local food, then I'm fine with that. Banning local food outright is ridiculous. Some of these food like the Hainanese Chicken Rice are served in high class hotels. Did they ban Spanish food at Diner en Blanc Barcelona?
And to add to the insult, the organisers decide to uninvite all the invited bloggers. According to Moonberry, the Diner en Blanc organizers feel that there is little value in inviting bloggers because they do not regard social media influencers to be that influential anyway. Well, just go and ask your attendees and see how many of them heard about the event through social media influencers. 过河拆桥.
If they are not influential, then why did you engage them to begin with? Now that they help you publicise your event, you decide to remove them from the invite list cause they are "not that influential". Balls to you.
And what gives you the rights to ask a blogger to remove his post?
You can have your elite picnic in Singapore but you have no rights to insult our food and culture. And if you diss social media influencers that have helped you one way or another, they will fight back.
Who gives a shit about your Diner en Blanc? We will have our Diner en Noir where local food are not discriminated by a bunch of atas snob.
Update: After publishing my blog entry, I notice that the organisers of Diner en Blanc posted a message on their Facebook page.
*** Announcement ***
With regards to the local food statement, we would like to clarify that Diner en Blanc worldwide welcomes local food as can be seen in many international events both passed and upcoming. Menus in Barcelona, Mexico, Kigali for instance, all include local food.
We apologize if there has been any misunderstanding at all in this matter.
To the contrary, Diner en Blanc is a celebration of food culture whereby local food should be included; what is not encouraged is "fast food" which goes against the multiple course meal concept of the event. The 3 hour duration of the event allows for guests to invest their time into preparing a 3 course meal.
As guests devote time and energy preparing for the various aspects of the event, we ask that they also devote time and energy preparing their meal as well. The statement was in no way meant to discourage participants from bringing local food. Apologies for the misunderstanding.
Hold on a minute. If local food is ok, then what is this?
I quote: "We do not encourage local food as the rules and the event concept are one in the same."
And the organisers go on to say that bloggers are uninvited due to space limitation and time constrain.
With regards to cancelling bloggers and other media, Our need to cancel bloggers is indeed regrettable and because of a new space limitation that has just imposed itself, as well as a limited timetable for the hosts to perform interviews at the media lounge. We are deeply sorry for this and will make every effort to correct this oversight next year. Bloggers wishing to get the scoop on the event are invited to do so by requesting photos and sending in their interview questions by email. We're doing our best to make room for Bloggers and other media whom we could not accommodate onsite. To critics, bear in mind that we are comprised of many volunteers and are working hard to bring this event to Singapore.
As far as I understand, all bloggers were uninvited except Moonberry. She was only uninvited after she blog negatively about the event. How many bloggers did they invite? Really no space for a few more tables? And no time for interview? Then just decline all interview lah. Why is there a need to uninvite all the bloggers? Especially after they have helped you publicised your event.
Not only did the organisers insult our food and bloggers, they are also insulting our intelligence now.
Update 2: Diner en Blanc Singapore organisers have accepted responsibility for PR fiasco.
It's clear that the guidelines were misconstrued and mistakes were made in the way they were communicated. The Singapore organisers have accepted responsibility for this. The most serious error involved a comment – posted on Facebook – that said local food wasn't welcome. This was wrong and was withdrawn, corrected and apologies tendered; however, the damage lingers.

Christmas With the Animals
Christmas may be over for everyone else, but not for the animals at the Great Plains Zoo.
The Zoo will host Christmas with the Animals from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, January 11.
Zookeepers and volunteers will be decorating donated Christmas trees with edible treats for the animals to enjoy. Zoo-goers will be able to watch the animals unwrap presents filled with fruits and vegetables, munch on garlands made of Cheerios, and nibble on the Christmas trees.
I took my kids for the past few years and it's a great way to get some winter walking exercise. The photo above was taken by me when a reindeer got a Christmas present box stuck on his head. This was one of the highlights of the day!
It's as if the animals feel a need to entertain us. They're playful, active, and of course, love to open Christmas presents, too.

Christmas with the Animals is part of the Zoo's ongoing animal enrichment efforts. The
purpose of enrichment is to encourage natural behaviors such as foraging, scent marking and hunting.

Item: A Lifetime of Learning in the Winter of 2008
Title: A Lifetime of Learning in the Winter of 2008
Proceedings: Proceedings Whistler 2008 International Snow Science Workshop September 21-27, 2008
- Marc Piché [ Canmore, Alberta ]
Date: 2008-09-26
Abstract: The winter of 2008 produced a series of persistent weak layers that plagued backcountry skiers from the very beginning of the season. These layers formed a snowpack, which consistently delivered a large number of anomalous avalanches throughout the Columbia and Rocky Mountains. Some of the greatest learning tools available to avalanche professionals are the stories and pictures passed on by people who have lived through years and conditions similar to those of 2008 in western Canada. This presentation will be a series of short case studies of significant avalanches that occurred in guiding operations focusing on the February 26th surface hoar layer. This persistent weak layer created an unusual set of problems, which broke the rules of terrain and snowpack assessment. In the guiding world, where "the show must go on", these conditions had to be managed in very unique and creative ways and forced operations to think outside of the box.

Can This Marriage Be Saved? Following My Dream Nearly Cost Me My Marriage
October 13, 2011 at 2:17 pm , by Lauren Piro
Working moms and wives today crave one thing most of all: more balance. Time for your career, your kids, your husband, yourself (gasp!)—like Liz Lemon, we just want to have it all. Gillian, 41, thought she'd finally figured it out. She'd quit her high-power, high-stress (and high-paying) banking job and open a yoga studio in her home. Her husband, Kevin, 42, would relocate his photo studio there as well, they'd both get tons more family time with their 8-year-old twin boys, she'd stop buying fancy clothes and dining to save money, and Everything. Would. Be. Perfect. And it was! Until it wasn't. (Read the full story here).
Gillian's turn: She thought Kevin was totally on board with the yoga-photo-studio plan, but now he's balking. He's changed his mind about moving his photography business from its current location, and works seven days a week. The addition they're putting on their house for the yoga studio is also way over budget, and though Gillian knows she'll recoup the cash once she opens, tensions are high. Kevin's started yelling at Gillian in front of their kids, refusing to talk things out like they always would. He ignores Gillian's requests to help with things around the house, and she hates nagging him, but just needs some things done! Their arguing has completely slowed her sex drive, which just causes more fighting. She doesn't want a divorce, but can't believe her perfect life has become such a mess.
Kevin's turn: It's always bugged Kevin that Gillian took home the bigger paycheck, and he's excited to grow his business and become family's main breadwinner—but also, unsurprisingly, a little scared. If he moves his studio, he'll lose clients and students, and he doesn't see how he can give up photographing events on nights and weekends. The honey-do list new stay-at-home Gillian has given him is driving him mad—she notices small details she never did before, always dislikes how Kevin does things, and then withholds sex as punishment. And as for cutting back on their spending? Gillian's wardrobe and the family's leftover take-out beg to differ. Kevin loves Gillian, but if they're going to radically change their lives, it's going to have to be a two-way street. He has dreams he wants to fulfill just like she does.

Who says you can't pursue your dream job in this bad economy?
Terri Haskins realized hers when she reinvented her 17-year career as an entertainment marketing executive and started her own interior design company, Presentations Elements of Design. She left her former life in the music biz, having worked with performers in Hip-Hop, like Mary J. Blige and Will Smith, and enrolled back into college after 23 years to earn an associates' degree in interior design.
A bold move in this recession? Yes. Worth the risk? Absolutely. "Work has definitely slowed down because this is a luxury-based business," says Haskins. "But that just motivates me to be more aggressive and proactive in gaining new clientele."
And don't think for a second that being your own boss makes it any easier. The hours are longer and tougher, and every move you make has to be weighed out by both sides of your brain. But the real reward is the finished product, a design drawn and drafted from your own ideas. "That's a dream come true for me," says Haskins.
