This is the very attractive brown wall with several excellent crack and face lines. Hidden from view until almost at the base, this is a crag well worth seeking out. Despite many of the climbs receiving multiple stars in various guidebooks, this is still a place where you won't see many people.
Getting There
Hike up the main wash from the northern parking area and make a left up the second gully on the left at some giant boulders (the Poppie Field Boulders). Wander up a trail along the right edge of the boulders and continue upward until leveling out into a flat valley. Emerald City is the attractive west-facing wall on the hillside to your left. The approach takes about 45 minutes.

text: April 22, 2014 at 2:38 PM Brent Amaker chases immortality with Android Amaker | Feature Posted by Owen R. Smith Brent Amaker in a new photo taken for the Android Amaker project. Photo by Frank Correa. Brent Amaker is celebrating his 50th birthday Friday with a show at the Triple Door, so forgive the country music auteur for having immortality on his mind. It's a theme that permeates his new project, Android Amaker, a concept album and art project about a future version of Amaker that has uploaded his mind into an robotic shell. To be fair, Amaker had the fantastic on his mind far before his encroaching birthday. He said he's always been interested in science fiction, but it was a Time magazine cover story, "2045: The Year Man Becomes Immortal," he saw a few years ago when traveling that got his gears turning for his new project.

Business Credit
Increase your company's borrowing power with asset-based financing
Middle-market companies can find greater credit availability with asset-based lending provided by our Business Credit division. By focusing on your company's underlying assets — rather than primarily focusing on statement strength or leverage — we can structure flexible financing that helps move your business forward.
Put our strengths to work for you
We provide asset-based financing to companies with initial credit needs ranging from $5 million to $35 million. And, our monitoring of both credit and collateral allows us to underwrite loans that are outside the typical lending criteria of most traditional lenders.
Financing options include:
- Revolving lines of credit secured by accounts receivable and inventory
- Term loans secured by machinery and equipment, real estate, and other assets
- Structured overadvances based on proven cash flow or enterprise value
- CAPEX lines for equipment purchases for capital-intensive companies with pre-approved financing
- Ex-Im Bank lines based on foreign receivables and inventory
- Debtor-in-possession financing for companies facing or emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Businesses in a variety of industries, like manufacturing, wholesale, transportation, distribution, and service can obtain the financing they need to support:
- Growth through acquisition or expansion
- A leveraged buyout
- Refinancing of existing senior or subordinated debt
- A turnaround, recapitalization, or restructuring (including debtor-in-possession financing and out-of-court emergence facilities)
Why Wells Fargo Capital Finance?
We focus not just on closing transactions, but on understanding the broader business challenges you face and helping your company rehabilitate, develop, and grow. Working with us, you benefit from:
- Flexibility: Asset-based financing can provide increased flexibility without the restrictive covenants often inherent in most conventional facilities.
- Local service with national scope: You'll work directly with Wells Fargo Capital Finance representatives who provide local decision-making plus access to Wells Fargo's national resources.
- Experience: Our seasoned team, built through our 35-year history in asset-based lending, has a proven track record of closing challenging transactions and offering competitive pricing.
- Cash management services tailored to asset-based borrowers
- With our Loan Manager service, we can help you reduce your borrowing costs and the time you spend managing your cash and borrowing needs. Loan Manager connects your collection, operating, and investment accounts. It credits your loan account with deposited funds and advances funds from your Wells Fargo Capital Finance line of credit account to your operating account so you can meet your daily cash needs.
- Our dedicated treasury management services team can help you streamline your financial operations and optimize cash flow by accelerating receivables, controlling payables, making better use of available cash, and reducing your exposure to fraud.
- Life-cycle financing: Your company may have the ability to transition its credit facility to a traditional Wells Fargo Bank relationship.

South African president Thabo Mbeki made the cover page of the international edition of Time magazine in early June, with the misleading heading: `He has finally faced up to the AIDS crisis and is now leading the charge for a new African development plan. Will the rich world listen?'
Mbeki's opportunity for a day-long hearing at the G8 meeting at the end of June in Kananaskis, Canada, will centre around requested annual commitments of US$64 billion in aid, loans and investments. Anticapitalist demonstrators massing in Calgary and Ottawa will be told by the G8 and Canadian press that they must not worry anymore about corporate globalisation's flaws and can go home now, because Mbeki is here to ensure Africa ends its `marginalisation' from international capitalism.
But is the plan–the New Partnership for Africa's Development (Nepad)–really a `new framework of interaction with the rest of the world… based on the agenda set by African peoples through their own initiatives and of their own volition, to shape their own destiny'–as claimed in the base document (http://www.nepad.org)?
Or is it a sell-out of Africa's legitimate aspirations for social, environmental and economic justice?
And even if a case can be made that it is the former, can it work? Have anybody or any organisations aside from a few ruling elites and their international capitalist allies and backroom technocrats been party to its authorship? What do Mbeki's meanderings on AIDS tell us about the nature of partnership, and of Africa's ability to confront its holocaust-scale challenge?
`We do not want the old partnership of a rider and a horse,' Mbeki insisted in mid-June when Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi criticised Nepad for its obeisance to `former colonisers and racists.'
Gaddafi may have money to bail out both the African Union—formerly the Organisation of African Unity–in the run-up to its July launch, as well as his bankrupt continental allies who include Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, a Nepad spoiler due to debt default, retreat from structural adjustment, malgovernance and the stolen presidential election in March.
Mbeki and Nigerian leader Olusegun Obasanjo, the plan's two main backers, are considered disingenuous for `talking left' on human rights and democracy, while `acting right,' by endorsing Mugabe's election as `legitimate' so as to maintain unity amongst African rulers.
Transcending the distractions of venal nationalists like Mugabe, Africa's progressive movements and intellectuals are uniting in anger mainly because Mbeki's plan surrenders so much terrain to the international structural power relationships which are responsible for Africa's last quarter-century of social dislocation, economic austerity and deindustrialisation, ecological degradation and state fragmentation.
Nepad evolved under conditions of smoke-filled-room secrecy, in close contact with Bill Clinton and Tony Blair (several times during 2000), the G8 (in Okinawa in 2000 and Genoa in 2001), the Bretton Woods Institutions (in repeated meetings) and international capital (at Davos in 2001). As a result, the plan denies the rich contributions of African social struggles in its very genesis. Instead, it empowers transnational corporations, Northern donor agency technocrats, Washington financial agencies, Geneva trade bureaucrats, machiavellian Pretoria geopoliticians and Johannesburg capitalists, in a coy mix of imperialism and South African subimperialism.
Critical conclusions such as these have come from more than a dozen major consultations within and between social movements and intellectuals across the continent, beginning in January with the African Social Forum's summit in Bamako, Mali (many statements are collected at http://www.aidc.org.za).
The first public protest against Nepad occurred in early June, at the World Economic Forum's Southern African regional meeting in Durban, where anti-apartheid poet Dennis Brutus–now acting secretary of Jubilee South Africa–led more than a hundred nonviolent demonstrators against horse-charging policemen. Brutus held up a sign for national television viewers: `No Kneepad!' and gave Pretoria a taste of protests that will grow in coming months (http://southafrica.indymedia.org).
The main concern is Mbeki's promotion of the failed neoliberalism of free market economic policies. Nepad's slippery premise is that poverty in Africa can be cured, if only the world elite gives the continent a chance: `The continued marginalisation of Africa from the globalisation process and the social exclusion of the vast majority of its peoples constitute a serious threat to global stability… We readily admit that globalisation is a product of scientific and technological advances, many of which have been market-driven… The locomotive for these major advances is the highly industrialised nations.'
All of these arguments are better put by reversing the logic. Africa's continued poverty (`marginalisation'); is a direct outcome of excess globalisation, not of insufficient globalisation, because of the drain from ever declining prices of raw materials (Africa's main exports), crippling debt repayments and profit repatriation to transnational corporations.
Technology lubricates but does not cause international economic dynamics. The advanced capitalist economies have witnessed substantially lower profits and growth since the mid-1970s, compared to the 1950s-60s, and the dot.com craze is only one indication of technology's failure to resolve intrinsic capitalist crisis tendencies.
As a result, the main organisations of the African left, including women's groups which know very well who must pay the bill, are expressing skepticism about Nepad's main strategies:
• privatisation, especially of infrastructure such as water, electricity, telcoms and transport, will fail because of the insufficient buying power of most African consumers;
• more insertion of Africa into the world economy will simply worsen fast-declining terms of trade, given that African countries produce so many cash-crop and minerals whose global markets are glutted;
• multi-party elections are held, typically, between variants of neoliberal parties, and cannot substitute for the genuine democracy required to restore legitimacy to so many failing African states;
• grand visions of information and communications technology are hopelessly unrealistic considering the lack of simple reliable electricity across the continent; and
• South Africa's self-mandate for peace-keeping provides no peace of mind, in the wake of Pretoria's ongoing purchase of US$5 billion worth of offensive weaponry and its unhappy record of regional military interventions.
As for economic aspirations, such as lower foreign debt, more stable capital financial flows and increased foreign investment, Mbeki offers only the status quo.
Instead of promoting full and immediate debt cancellation, as do virtually all serious reformers, the Nepad strategy is to `support existing poverty reduction initiatives at the multilateral level, such as the Comprehensive Development Framework of the World Bank and the Poverty Reduction Strategy approach linked to the Highly Indebted Poor Country debt relief initiative.' Jubilee South labels these a `cruel hoax' and even the World Bank now concedes its HIPC plan has failed to make Africa's foreign debt `sustainable.'
Only after implementing these discredited strategies, replete with neoliberal conditions such as further privatisation, can African leaders `seek recourse' through Nepad. Malawi's worsening starvation, due to a famine amplified when the country's grain stocks were sold thanks to International Monetary Fund `advice' to first repay commercial bankers, is emblematic, and so extreme that even that wretched country's leaders are publicly blaming the IMF.
When it comes to other financial flows, speculative `hot-money' investments in emerging markets such as South Africa have harmed not helped the vast majority. And most foreign loans over the past thirty years have detracted from local capital accumulation, because they have allied corrupt African state elites with foreign bankers who drain the continent by facilitating capital flight. Nepad calls for more of each.
Nepad's solution to foreign investment drought includes `Public-Private Partnerships' in privatised infrastructure: `Establish and nurture PPPs as well as grant concessions towards the construction, development and maintenance of ports, roads, railways and maritime transportation… With the assistance of sector-specialised agencies, put in place policy and legislative frameworks to encourage competition.'
But most infrastructure is of a `natural monopoly' type, for which competition is unsuitable: roads and railroads, telephone land lines, water and sewage reticulation systems, electricity transmission, ports and the like. Nepad cannot make a case for competition in these areas. There is, in contrast, an extremely strong case, based on `public-good' features of infrastructure, for state control and non-profit operation. Most noticeably, privatisation of infrastructure usually prevents the cross-subsidisation required to serve poor consumers, especially women-headed households.
Finally, Nepad is at its most self-contradictory when appealing `to all the peoples of Africa, in all their diversity, to become aware of the seriousness of the situation and the need to mobilise themselves in order to put an end to further marginalisation of the continent and ensure its development by bridging the gap with the developed countries.'
The hypocrisy is breathtaking. Africans falling further into poverty as a result of leadership compradorism and globalisation do not need to `become aware of the seriousness of the situation,' as much as do the elite rulers who generally live in luxury, at great distance from the masses. And when progressive Africans express `the need to mobilise themselves,' they are nearly invariably met with repression.
Pretoria's own practice in all these regards–repaying apartheid debt, allowing speculative finance and capital flight to wreck the currency, privatising basic services like water and electricity at great social cost (especially damage to public health and the standards of living of women, the youth, elderly and HIV+ people), and meting out repression to those who object–are reminders of the fact that Nepad is being tried at home, and isn't working.
As for `mobilising,' Nepad does not mention the mass civil-society protests that threw off the yokes of slavery, colonialism, apartheid and dictatorships. Those protests are increasingly turning against Pretoria's neoliberal, subimperialist agenda.
One burst of activism occurred in May, when thousands of Treatment Action Campaign supporters went to the South African Constitutional Court to make the case that the country's five million HIV+ people have a human right to anti-retroviral medicines.
On May 2, just two weeks after Mbeki's cabinet announced an alleged U-turn on AIDS medication policy, the government's defense in the court case rested upon denying that AIDS drugs could help due to the canard of toxicity. Still today, the SA Department of Health continues prevaricating on AIDS treatment, including inexpensive nevirapine for pregnant women–to prevent transmission to their babies–and rape survivors.
If Mbeki told a jejune Time journalist that he has `finally faced up to the AIDS crisis,' that reporter missed abundant evidence of the president's continuing denialism, such as the recent circulation to African National Congress branches of a 114 page dissident rant allegedly drafted by the late Peter Mokaba, but with Mbeki's embedded signature on the formatted Word document and quotes by Mbeki's favourite poet, Yeats (see http://www.mg.co.za).
Following the G8 meeting, at which George W. Bush, Jean Chretien, Tony Blair and the rest will seek legitimacy for more trade and financial liberalisation by fronting their plans with Nepad, African progressives will have two important opportunities to make a different case to the local and global public. In early July, the African Union will be launched in Durban, with Mbeki as chairperson in 2002-03. In late August, the UN World Summit on Sustainable Development convenes in Johannesburg's plush Sandton suburb, with Nepad.already serving as a key chapter in the Chairman's Text (http://www.johannesburgsummit.org).
At all these elite events, progressives will protest neoliberalism, imperialism, global ecological degradation and other manifestations of what even Mbeki terms `global apartheid.' They will argue that the alternatives to Nepad, like South Africa's own Freedom Charter (1955) and the Reconstruction and Development Programme (1994) in previous eras, are to be found embedded not in Western free market ideology, but in the struggles of Africans for a thorough-going transformation of society that ultimately breaks, not shines, the chains of apartheid.
(Bond is editor of a new book, Fanon's Warning: A Civil Society Reader on Nepad, available internationally through Africa World Press at http://www.africanworld.com)
(PS, due to fluid and often incomprehensible local conditions, I'll postpone the analysis of the fractured Johannesburg Left in the run-up to the World Summit on Sustainable Development until next month.)

During our visit in Roanoke, VA the Hyatt Place cleaning lady left our door open after she cleaned the room. This would not have been such a problem if we were not across from the elevator. When we called to complain, the front desk left us on hold.Not only did the front desk rep leave us on hold, she never came back after 30 minutes. The next morning we met with the assistant manager and manager of housekeeping and they were to follow up with me the next day. I never heard back from anyone, it seems as though there was a lack of concern from anyone at the hotel that our items were placed in jeopardy. I am very upset, in the room I had Dooney& Burke luggage and a very expensive Kate Spade bag. I am very disappointed with the Hyatt Place and I plan to put my concerns on social media.

Today's snowstorm called area schools out once again. For some districts, this president's day was supposed to be a makeup day.
Now, schools are deciding how to get more time in the classroom.
Today marks the third time Maple River schools have shutdown because of snow.
Maple River Public Schools superintendent, Dan Anderson says, "Today was actually a makeup day for us for one of the other days. It was a little unexpected to get a snow day on a makeup day."
Adding another day's time to be made up, with no formal makeup plan at the moment, the district has a few things to consider. Like, instruction hours, obeying employee contracts while having a limited number of available days.
Anderson says, "We have gone a couple days into June in the past. We have also extended school hours during the school day. We'll just have to see what the rest of winter gives us before we finalize those decisions."
Tomorrow night, Mankato Area public school board will consider taking away three scheduled late start days.
Mankato Area Public Schools superintendent, Sheri Allen says, "Meaning students will start like every other regular day and we would not have the two hour late starts. By getting back two hours each of those days it gives us back a full day of instruction back into our instructional hours."
With about a month left of the winter season, that's more than enough time for another dumping of snow.
Anderson says, "You never know what the winter's going to give you. So, you just deal with it as it comes."

Nothing of what you say was in the movie. Kirk lost his Phaser. Sulu seemingly never had one or never even touched it. Of course your explanation is good, especially when taking into account that Romulans are known to use melee weapons all the time, because they have something going on with tradition and honor and... wait, wrong species.
However, in the movie the fact that Sulus combat training was fencing was actually used as a joke. Sooo... obviously the authors didnt spend all to many thoughts about the why and how. It was in for the laugh, the nod to TOS and the action and it worked. The sword fight looked great.

Tuesday the NTSB released a preliminary report from the plane crash on July 29 in Georgetown, SC. Read the full report below.
NTSB preliminary report from Georgetown plane crash
A two seat, decommissioned military jet crashed into the woods less than a mile from the Georgetown County Airport Monday afternoon.
Read more stories about the plane crash here.
Authorities identified the victim of a plane crash near the airport in Georgetown as 79-year-old John Prince Harris. He was the only passenger aboard. The Georgetown County Coroner completed the autopsy Tuesday afternoon.
Peter Knudson, NTSB Spokesperson, says Harris was doing a high speed fly by when the plane crash. Knudson says the pilot was 100-200 feet off the ground when the plane went down.
The pilot's destination was the Georgetown Airport, according to Knudson, but he was not preparing to land when the aircraft crashed. The pilot appeared to be doing an aileron roll, an aerobic maneuver in which the aircraft does a full 360° revolution.
The preliminary cause of death is trauma as a result of the crash that happened at 1:19 Monday afternoon.
Ray Moore was sitting on his computer when his house suddenly became the scene of the plane crash.
"I heard something like it was at a high speed,a and then shortly after that it just "boom" like an explosion," Moore said. "At that time when I went to look out the door, there was a big ball of smoke and there were flames in the air."
According to the flight records, the Folland Aircraft Gnat T1 plane, left the Charleston, West Virginia airport around 12:26 Monday afternoon. The flight plane shows the plane was planning on landing at the Georgetown County Airport.
Harris was flying into Georgetown to join his family who was visiting the area. He had been the president of the West Virginia Steel Corporation until it was sold in 1998. An employee at the corporation said that everyone is still shocked and did not release any further comments.
"He has a home in the area, so coming into Georgetown was not new or unusual," Coroner Kenneth Johnson said.
The crash site is close to 100 yards into a densely wooded area. Officials were seen using off road vehicles to get to the site.
"Initially it was very difficult because it's a very wooded thick area," Johnson said. "The county roads folks were able to cut a trail through for us."
Officials also had to battle thunderstorms that covered the area just off of Highway 17 for most of the afternoon. Johnson said the plane appears to have crashed straight into the ground and created a debris site about 50 yards in diameter.
"It looks to me that the damage to the plane was caused by the crash itself," he said. "Pieces of metal were torn. Nothing appeared to have any definite edges. They were all torn which would be consistent with hitting the ground."
Moore said he and his family are lucky the plane did not hit his home.
"Thank God it [isn't any] closer than it is because it could have been closer," Moore said "When the plane did crash you could feel the vibration from the crash and the explosion. Everything in the house just vibrated."
Officials from the Federal Aviation Authority and the National Transportation Safety Board will be on scene to remove the wreckage, which authorities say will take several days.

By Marsha Thompson - bio | email
JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Jackson socialite Karen Irby hopes to get her 18-year prison sentence re-visited. Irby and her new attorney William Bell have filed a motion Monday for recusal and re-sentencing based on a poem read in court by Hinds County Judge Tomie Green.
Irby was drinking and driving the night she crossed the line in a deadly car crash. The poem or letter was read written by Judge Green May 11th, the day Karen Irby was sentenced.
In the letter, the judge assumed the role of the two victims, Dr.'s Mark Pogue and Lisa Dedousis. "We are both in the best shape we will ever be today," Judge Green said, reading her statement from the bench.
Irby's new motion claims the poem was in effect a victim's statement that the judge was prohibited from making by law and by the code of judicial conduct. The request to have her sentence thrown out cites an example of Judge Green's words, "strangers pulling on our charred bones." The Judge wrote, "We are in love and happy, can't wait to set up our home."
Irby's lawyer maintains the words are inflammatory, biased and prejudicial, claiming Judge Green was not impartial.
The motion says the Green's poem and its contents are grossly inconsistent with the wishes and recommendations of the deceased victims' representatives who made a statement that day.
Judge Green also had harsh words for Irby who had been drinking the night of the deadly collision, paraphrasing that Mississippi is a zero-tolerance state. Irby's motion claims that statement is misrepresentative of state law.
Attorney William Bell said if the court determines his motions should not be considered because no objections were made, Irby will argue that her previous lawyers provided ineffective assistance.
Bell had no comment when WLBT contacted him Monday.

Lydiate targets Six Nations comeback
ESPN Staff
January 2, 2013
Dan Lydiate looks set to be fit for the forthcoming Six Nations © Getty Images
Wales have received a huge boost ahead of the 2013 Six Nations following the news that star flanker Dan Lydiate could potentially be fit in time for their opening clash.
Rob Howley's men face Ireland on February 2 in Cardiff and they will be under pressure to record a victory as they are currently on a seven-match losing run. Lydiate, the 2012 Six Nations Player of the Tournament, appeared to be a doubt for the campaign after he broke his ankle back in September.
The Dragons were reluctant to put a time frame on the flanker's recovery but the original prognosis meant he was a doubt for the forthcoming Six Nations. But Dragons boss Darren Edwards is optimistic that Lydiate could be ready for Wales duty sooner rather than later.
"He is on course for the start of February," Edwards told Wales Online. "It wouldn't surprise me if Dan has a half of rugby for us and Wales throw him straight in. He's that important - we saw how much he was missed during the autumn internationals."
Wales will already be without Rhys Priestland for the Six Nations and they are also sweating on Ashley Beck's fitness after he limped off against the Dragons on New Year's Eve. James Hook is also currently injured but he should be fit for the Six Nations.

This is not a bad line. The corner indeed looks dirty at the bottom, and it is. However, the actual climb is up the splitter to the right of the corner, not up the dirty corner itself. The lines merge just as the rock cleans up, making for not too bad a climb.
This climb is just left and around a corner on the 'Crooked Cross' ledge. One can approach similarly to Crooked Cross, or rap from the juniper above that down into the corner and then climb back up to the top.

From the first 30 seconds of "Collapse", you know you are in for something special. Dissonant, sludgy, and downtuned riffing kick off one of the more unique opening tracks on any true Grindcore album. No blast beats, no 1000mph playing, just a powerful, noisy, and abrasive monster of an opener. From there it just gets better. Tracks like Godplayer, Choice of a New Generation, Back Door Mine, and I See Red, completely destroyed any previous notions of what grind could sound like. Brutal Truth, with this release, re-wrote the rules of the game and made an album that was not only brutal, but completely fresh and original.
If you are already a grind fan, buy this. If you are just getting into extreme metal, you need this even more!

Get Your Relievers While They're Hot! Nats Send Hanrahan to Bucs
WaPo is reporting that the Bucs are sending OF Nyjer Morgan and reliever Sean Burnett to the Nats in return for reliever Joel Hanrahan and OF Lastings Milledge. Too bad - I liked Hanrahan as a target for the Rockies (could still happen, I suppose). Hanrahan is having a rough year, but he's striking out over 9 per 9 and was decent last year. He also has one pre-arb year remaining after this season. Chris Perez has moved for a 3B+ type, Hanrahan has moved in a deal including an OF and reliever, and the Yankees traded for a 3B/1B/OF. What's cooking, Dealin' Dan?

The stage technology department of New York City Technical College recently received a $780,000, four-year grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, funding that is being matched by industry support of over $500,00. The grant is being used to create five labs: moving light, sound, entertainment control systems (including show control), scenic motion control, and video systems and projection. The moving light and sound labs are already up and running; the entertainment control systems lab will be online by fall; the motion control lab should be complete around the spring of 2000; and the video systems and projection lab is planned for 2001.
The labs are to be used for the training of undergraduate stage technology students, for continuing education of union and non-union stage technicians in the New York area, for industry workshops, and, in the future, for research and testing. The four-year-old stage technology department now has over 75 students and four full-time faculty: department chair Charles Scott (lighting); John Huntington (entertainment control and sound); James Packard (scenic technology); and Dr. David B. Smith (sound). A fifth full-time faculty member will be added in 2000.

Memorial's Animal Club welcomes special therapy dog visitor
woodland park – Memorial Middle School's Animal Club in Woodland Park received a recent visit from a therapy dog that left quite an impression.
Celia Van Voorhis and her 8-year-old service dog Maddie recently paid a visit to students. Van Voorhis, a volunteer for the Salvation Army, said she was always interested in volunteer work and was fond of animals for as long as she can remember.
"I sought out at first to major in animal science and possibly become a veterinarian, but I ended up becoming a chemist with Colgate-Palmolive for 32 years," Van Voorhis said. "Since retiring, I've been donating my time as a volunteer. A couple of years ago, I came across a newspaper when I was down at the shore and there was a breeder who lived on a farm selling Collie mixes. I always loved the breed, having been a fan of the television show Lassie when I was younger."
Van Voorhis went on to explain to the students that breeder may have been a good breeder but at some point, it appeared she was caring for too many animals.
"We purchased Maddie when she was around four and as an adult dog, we noticed right away that she was very underweight. The visit to the vet showed that she was only 28 pounds where most Collies her age should be anywhere between 65 and 75 pounds. Within the first year we had her, we put about 40 pounds on her."
Van Voorhis explained the challenges of trying to house-break Maddie, since she always lived outdoors. She also decided to put her in obedience class. What Van Voorhis noticed most about Maddie is how well she took to people, particularly children.
"There was a boy that she happened to see and became so excited to sit near him. That's when I immediately knew she was going to be great a therapy dog."
According to Van Voorhis, through training Maddie received at Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs, based in Morris Plains, "she suddenly came into her own and shined." She became comfortable with people with disabilities who were in wheelchairs, crutches and walkers. Van Voorhis also commented on how touched the recent survivors of Hurricane Sandy when they received an impromptu visit from Maddie.
"Many of these people have lost everything and it's so amazing to see how quick a smile is put on their faces when Maddie came over to greet them," she added. "It was a very moving experience."
Maddie has since visited countless schools, libraries, nursing homes, and hospitals throughout the state, giving out to those she meets her very special brand of therapy.
Lynn Donato, club instructor, thanked Van Voorhis, along with Maddie.
"They traveled for such a long distance from Somerset to visit the students in our Memorial School Animal Club and it's always a pleasure to learn about the wonderful ways these dogs help people who are in need of comfort whether it be independence of a disability, or an emotional uplift from trauma or disaster such as Hurricane Sandy," Donato noted, adding that therapy dogs help give people back their self-confidence and freedom.
"They also have an amazing ability to always put a smile on every person's face that interacts with them," she said. "Disabled people often forget about the challenges they faced prior to having the wonderful support of loyal service dogs. These beautiful animals are always willing to please. It was a wonderful experience for the children to observe how these animals affect our lives in a positive and healing way."

Everyone is welcome at Queen's Educational Pow Wow
Don't be afraid to ask questions at the Queen's University Educational Pow Wow because organizers want people to learn about Aboriginal cultures, practices and knowledge.
"It's an educational pow wow so you don't have to be concerned about not knowing what to do. We expect that people are coming to find out and we are here to help," says pow wow coordinator Michela Ferguson.
The pow wow is a way for Aboriginal peoples to celebrate their heritage and for members of the Kingston and Queen's community to learn and experience Aboriginal culture without having to travel outside the city.
The pow wow, hosted by Four Directions Student Aboriginal Centre on September 25, features drummers, storytellers, artists and dancers and runs all day; highlights include the Sunrise Ceremony, the Grand Entry and the Closing Ceremonies.
"It offers a little bit of everything. You have food, dancing, music, crafts – you have things for sale that you can't find at a big box store," says Ms Ferguson.
Last year's pow wow attracted about 100 dancers and 1,500 spectators.

If you live in the state of Texas and your marriage is failing, do not hesitate to hire a Texas divorce attorney to represent your interests. It is important to understand that divorce is the legal dissolution of marriage under the rules of law for the state that you reside. Your Texas attorney is an expert in family law.
He will advise you of your rights regarding child custody, child visitation, and alimony (spousal support) etc. Distribution of property, and division of assets and debt is a crucial component of the divorce proceedings. Because of the anxiety associated with a divorce, it is important to hire an experienced divorce attorney that has a history of excellent service.
In the event that your spouse contests the divorce, your lawyer will assist in mediation to promote settlement of differences that you and your spouse may have. This process has proven extremely effective in resolving disputes which can save a lot of money. In the event that it is necessary for you to go to court, the additional costs can be quite high. If possible, encourage your spouse to agree to reasonable terms. Your Texas Attorney will advise you as you go through the process.

Golf takes first place in tourneys
The Wildcats continued their success last week when the men's and women's golf teams both took first.
The men's tournament at the George Fox Invitational at the Chehalem Glenn golf course took place on Oct. 9 and 10. The team saw positive results on the first day, beating Pacific University and placing first with a combined score of 302.
Senior Yutaro Sakamoto shot a 72, which shot him to first place, and junior Alex Fitch tied for second place, with Pacific senior Max Bonk at a score of 74.
On the second day, despite the rain, Sakamoto remained in the lead with a score of 75 and received medalist honors.
Other Wildcats placed in the top 10. Fitch placed third, and senior Evan Wallace held a two-way tie for fourth with 13 over par 157. Freshman A.J. Taylor tied for seventh with 19 over par 163.
In the end, Linfield won with a total score of 620. Pacific came in second 18 strokes behind. Pacific Lutheran University came in third with 649.
"We were not surprised by the results because we expect to win every time we play," Sakamoto said.
The women played at the Whitworth Invitational at the Spokane Country Club on Oct. 10 and 11 in Spokane, Wash.
Senior Brynn Hurdus led the Wildcats, placing second with six over par 79.
"I really look up to Brynn as a player and teammate, and I am so proud of her performance at this tournament," sophomore Brinn Hovde said. "She had an outstanding round, and I know she has many more to come."
By the second day, Hurdus shot her career best with a solid back nine and received medalist honors.
"Hurdus had four birdies in the second half of the day, and nearly had a hole-in-one on the 17th hole," according to the Linfield athletics website.
Hovde and freshman Hannah Christianson made the top 10 with Hovde in sixth place and Christianson in seventh place.
"[I was] ecstatic that we were able to turn it around after the first day and give it our best the following day to win the tournament," Christianson said.
The team won the tournament with a combined score of 677, beating Whitworth by one point. Puget Sound obtained third place with 729.
"Whitworth won conference last year, so to beat them on their home course really illustrates the growth we've had in this season alone and illustrates what we are capable of," Hurdus said.
The women's team plays at the Northwest Conference Fall Classic on Oct. 23 and 24 at Lost Tracks Golf Club in Bend, Ore.
The men's team plays in Walla Walla, Wash. at the Whitman Invitational on Oct. 16 and 17.

Ephesus (Efeze)
The ancient Greek city of Ephesus, also know as Efeze, was once one of the world's greatest cities. It ranked only behind Rome in its size and importance during the Roman period, at which time (1st century BC) it was the second largest city in the world.
Famed for its Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Ephesus has an incredible number of ruins that, with just a small amount of imagination, can take you back to what life was like for ancient Greeks and Romans.
Ephesus's most spectacular site has to be the façade of the Library of Celsus. Constructed between 110 and 135AD, the library originally had three floors and its galleries were stocked with scrolls, and a reading room faced east to take advantage of the morning light. An earthquake destroyed the Library in the 10th century (along with most of the city). The gorgeous façade and front portico that can be seen today were reconstructed in the 1970s.
Other sites include the Theater, Basilica of St. John, the Cave of the Seven Sleepers, Church of Mary, House of the Virgin, the Isabey Mosque, the Prytaneion, the synagogue and the Temple of Hadrian. All the sites are in varying states of disrepair. Unfortunately, all that remains of the Temple of Artemis, rumoured to have been four times as large as the Parthenon and constructed entirely of marble, is one lone column standing in a marshy basin.
Ephesus is also one of the seven churches of Asia listed in the Bible's Book of Revelations. Because of the city's ties to biblical figures, it is an important sacred site for Christians as well as a historical one. But Christianity is not the only religion represented in the ruins - there is also the Isabey Mosque, as well as the foundations of what was likely a synagogue.
Practical Info
Not to be missed are the remains of a brothel and sophisticated latrine, just off the main street leading down to the Library of Celsus.
Ephesus is southwest of Selcuk, 80km (50mi) from central Izmir. Most people visit the ancient city on a guided tour.

Re: Universal Autocomplete Field
2 July 2010 at 3:25am
Looks like loading the jQuery UI breaks the field. The only core object loading the UI seems to be the FileIframeField, and because that is used by the Image Field, you can't have an ImageField and the AutocompleteField on the same form. Since I can't see the UI being used (?) I just block it from the AutocompleteField::Field() method:
Requirements::block(THIRDPARTY_DIR . '/jquery-ui/jquery-ui-1.8rc3.custom.js');
A bit crude maybe, but eh... Maybe it's the Autocomplete plugin in the UI? Anyway, the only other object I saw using the UI is the DOM. Haven't tested it, since I don't use the DOM so much, but I thought I'd mention.

Now I want you to honestly ask yourself the following. If a lineswoman had called a questionable foot fault on Andy Roddick in the final game of his marathon Wimbledon battle royale against Roger Federer, near match point no less, what would the general reaction of most tennis fans -- particularly American tennis fans -- have been? Or if a linesman had called a foot fault on Melanie Oudin at a crucial point during her fairy tale like run at the Open (where I had the immense pleasure of seeing her play) what would the general reaction of the fans filling Arthur Ashe stadium have been? If the way we behaved during her match against Dementieva is any indication, then I'm guessing we would have seen an Attica-like riot.
Before the eye rolling begins, let me be clear. I am not arguing that Serena Williams -- with her countless titles and millions of dollars -- has somehow been a victim of racial bias. But I don't think anyone who is a real tennis fan can argue that she hasn't been a victim of some bias throughout her and her sister's, history-making careers, and Saturday night was one such moment.
Every tennis fan [is wrong] who isn't willing to honestly admit that Saturday's call never would have happened, nor been deemed acceptable for any other player under those circumstances.
Let me assure you that they would not have been deemed acceptable for any player who threatened a line judge. That is simply, well, unacceptable.
HuffPo complained that "Tennis remains, to this day, very much a country club-esque sport, and while the Williams scream a lot of things, country club is not one of them." Notwithstanding the author's insistence that there is no anti-Williams racial bias at play, this comment certainly smacks of racial connotations. Country clubs are, after all, the quintessential bastions of American WASPs. What do the Williams sisters scream? The ghetto?
Regardless of their successes tennis players are not permitted to disregard the rules and regulations of the game simply because they didn't learn to play in a country club, or they don't embody the typical tennis player in "pristine tennis whites," in HuffPo's words.
The game of tennis will not allow these immature outbursts simply to accomodate the eccentric (in the tennis world) demeanors and attitudes of the Williams sisters, or any other professionals for that matter, no matter the player's race, background, or upbringing.
Thank you to NewsBusters users balboa and nwahs for pointing out the specious use of the term "respectable" in describing the way in which Ms. Williams could or should have acted. I did not mean to imply that Serena is not a respectable tennis player, or that respectable tennis players do not lose their tempers. Ms. Williams's actions, not her character, were the topic of this post. She is a tremendous and very respectable athlete.

This was Black Sunday for the Green. The Celtics' season went up in smoke like one of the victory cigars that parquet patriarch Red Auerbach used to puff.
What should have been a Sunday of celebration as the wobbling Celtics snapped their six-game losing streak by tapping into a reservoir of Celtic Pride for a 100-98 double-overtime victory over the hated Miami Heat was a lost cause on Causeway Street. The Celtics' win and the return of Ray "Benedict" Allen were rendered footnotes by the right knee of point guard Rajon Rondo.
