this wiki
The Blue Fairy is a character in Disney's 1940 film Pinocchio. She is a magical being who, fulfilling Gepetto's wish, transforms Pinocchio into a living creature and later into a real boy. She also aids Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket throughout their adventures, both directly and from afar. One of only two female characters in the film (the other being Cleo), she is nevertheless one of the most powerful characters in the cast; it is the Blue Fairy who initially grants Pinocchio life and who ultimately decides whether or not the puppet should become a real boy.
The Blue Fairy was animated by Jack Campbell from live-action footage of Marge Champion and voiced by Evelyn Venable. She is currently voiced by Rosalyn Landor.
Behind the Scenes
In a story meeting of January 12, 1939, Walt Disney specified that the Blue Fairy was to 'give the appearance of loveliness... (but not look like) a glamour girl'. Early model sheets and inspirational sketches reflect this concept, depicting the character as an ethereal beauty with swirling, billowing clothes and loose, unkempt hair (to reflect the fact that the fairy has literally flown in). At some point in development this design changed to a less ethereal figure, with human proportions. This final version of the character, with her glittery dress, solid hair and more human proportions, suggests the inspiration of Jean Harlow and thus ultimately resembled the 'glamour girl' Disney had initially been anxious to avoid; however, Disney seemed pleased with this version of the character, whose newly-found sexual allure worked on both Jiminy Cricket and the men working on the film, who reportedly whistled on first seeing a color test of the Blue Fairy.
Jack Campbell's animation of the Blue Fairy closely followed live-action footage of Marge Champion (who was also the performance model for Snow White) under the direction of Hamilton Luske. Oskar Fischinger, a famous abstract filmmaker from Germany who had been hired by Disney primarily to help with Fantasia's abstract Toccata and Fugue in D Minor segment, was responsible for animation of the Blue Fairy's magic, including the effects surrounding her when she first enters the workshop and the beams of light eminating from her wand.
Gepetto's Wish
The wishing star is first referred to in the film's opening song (with the Blue Fairy herself perhaps referred to in the song as "Fate herself"). When Jiminy Cricket begins his story, the wishing star is looking over Pinocchio's village and it, and the other stars, are 'shining like diamonds'. It's not mentioned again in the film until, inside Gepetto's Workshop. After Figaro has opened the window, Gepetto notices the Wishing Star, and prays that the marionette Pinocchio become a real boy. Everyone in the workshop falls asleep; soon, however, Jiminy is woken by an ethereal glow caused by the star as it moves closer and closer to the window. Eventually, the Blue Fairy herself appears in the workshop, stating that Gepetto deserves his wish after the happiness he has brought to others. She walks to Pinocchio and, tapping the puppet with her wand, grants him life. She tells him that he must learn the difference between right and wrong in order to become a real boy. When Pinocchio appears not to understand, Jiminy interrupts to explain, and the Blue Fairy offers him the position of conscience to Pinocchio. Somewhat dumbstruck by her beauty, he agrees, and is granted a new suit befitting his status. The Blue Fairy then leaves, reminding Pinocchio to "be a good boy, and always let your conscience be your guide."
Freeing and Saving Pinocchio
The Blue Fairy next appears after Stromboli has locked Pinocchio in a cage; the showman intends to use the wooden boy to make an enormous amount of money. Ashamed of doing the wrong thing, Pinocchio attempts to hide when he sees the wishing star approaching the caravan, though both he and Jiminy are spotted. The Blue Fairy asks Pinocchio why he did not attend school; lying, he replies that he was kidnapped by two monsters, who put him into a sack and threatened to chop him into firewood. As his lie grows, his nose becomes longer until it resembles a tree limb, complete with bird's nest. The Blue Fairy informs him that "a lie keeps growing and growing, until it's as plain as the nose on your face". When Pinocchio promises to tell the truth from now on, the Blue Fairy returns his nose to normal and frees him from the cage with a tap of her wand. She doesn't appear in person for the rest of the film- in keeping with her 'warning' as she frees Pinocchio from the cage that this is the last time she can help him-, however she indirectly helps after Pinocchio escapes Pleasure Island, while other boys were being turned into donkeys and then sold to salt mines by The Coachman, Jiminy warns Pinocchio to follow his lead to prevent the curse from taking a foothold. After returning home and seeing an abandoned workshop, the Blue Fairy, in the form of a dove, drops a message that Gepetto learned about Pleasure Island and set sail in order to rescue Pinocchio, but his boat was swallowed by Monstro the Whale. Presumably this "bonus help" was due to the fact that Pinocchio had gotten back on track by listening to Jiminy (as well as ceasing his bad boy behavior unlike Lampwick) and that Jiminy would not have realized that Gepetto had been attacked by Monstro as they were making their way back to the village. Pinocchio's dangerous decision to try and rescue Gepetto and Figaro (even over Jiminy's objections) was the final test in order to see whether or not he had what it takes to become a real boy.
Pinocchio's selflessness in saving Gepetto from Monstro costs him his life, as he drowns while saving Gepetto from the same doom. As Gepetto and Jiminy mourn Pinocchio's death, the Blue Fairy appears, saying that Pinocchio has proven his heroism and rewards him by returning him to life and reversing the Coachman's donkey curse.
House of Mouse
In the animated series House of Mouse, the Blue Fairy makes occasional appearances.
Her most notable appearance in the series is in the episode "Jiminy Cricket", where Pain and Panic try to lead Pinocchio down the path of evil. When Jiminy becomes convinced that he's no good at being Pinocchio's conscience, Mickey Mouse wishes to help, resulting in the Blue Fairy reassigning Jiminy to be Mickey's conscience. In the end, when Jiminy and Pinocchio are reunited, Pain and Panic mock the moment until the Blue Fairy reappears and turns them into ashes.
Teacher's Pet
The Blue Fairy makes a few cameos in the Teacher's Pet movie in Spot Helperman's dreams. Due to the show's art style, the Blue Fairy looks noticeably different than her past appearances. Notably, Rosalyn Landor, who had voiced the character in House of Mouse, reprised the role here.
Once Upon a Time
In the ABC original series, The Blue Fairy plays a supporting role only seen in Story Book Land and is portrayed by Keegan Connor Tracy. Her Storybrooke counterpart is Mother Superior. She first appears in "Pilot". She creates the Red Quill, which helps Cinderella and Prince Thomas imprison Rumplestiltskin. She also transformed Jiminy Cricket into a real cricket, guiding him to help Geppetto after his parents were turned into puppets. In "Dreamy" she instructed a fairy Nova how to distribute fairy dust. And later with the dwarf Bossy convinced Grumpy to end his relationship with Nova. That way Nova could become a fairy godmother. In "The Return" it was revealed Rumplestiltskin's son Balefire asked for her help. She gave him a magic bean to send him and his father to a world without magic. Rumplestiltskin let go of his son at the last second not going with him. He later confronted the Blue Fairy who said that was the last bean. When he inquired other ways he realized a curse would be best. He then tried to attack her but she fled. She presented the idea of putting Snow White in a wardrobe fashioned from a magical tree that could ward off any curse. However, when it comes to magic, she cannot undo the work of Rumplestiltskin.
In Storybrooke, she is Mother Superior, the head of Storybooke's convent. She appears in the Dreamy episode, only in a supporting role and is also seen in a Land Without Magic in Henry's hospital room, probably for his final blessings. After Emma Swan breaks the Dark Curse, Mother Superior joins the group of Snow White and Prince Charming and acknowledges her previous existence as the Blue Fairy when Henry calls her by her former name. When Henry requests that she do some magic, she responds by stating that although she can feel the magic released into the town by Mr. Gold, she cannot use it because magic works differently in Storybrooke. She also mentions there is no Fairy Dust and that she doesn't have her wand either.
Video games
Disney's Villains' Revenge
The Blue Fairy's role is minor in the game. After Jiminy rips out the happy ending pages and the four villains of the stories fail to steal the happy ending pages, The Blue Fairy appears. She tells Jiminy and Pinocchio (the player who's unseen and unheard) that with the happy endings gone the villains have started to change the stories. She tells them they must go to fix them and enchants the book allowing you to enter.
When you do something wrong or are killed you are returned to the room where the Blue Fairy offers you tips or tells you to do the right thing. Once you've completed the four stories and defeated the villains for a second time, The Blue Fairy shows a fifth story was added to the story book of your adventures and enchants a few toys in the room as mini games. She also says you can return into the book and replay the stories as many times as you wish before vanishing completely.
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
The Blue Fairy makes an appearance in her homeworld Prankster's Paradise. Where she arrives at the scene and gently scolds Pinocchio for lying to Jiminy. Pleading for the Blue Fairy to help his nose return to normal, Pinocchio promised to never lied again. The Blue Fairy forgives him, but she warned he will remain a puppet forever if he keeps lying before she returned his nose to normal and release him from the cage. She later appears before Sora to tell him that Geppetto had been swallowed by Monstro and that Pinnochio and Jiminy ran off to find the whale to save him.
Disney Parks
The Blue Fairy appears occasionally in Disney Parks around the world. She is usually found in Disneyland. She also has her own spell card known as "The Blue Fairy's Wand Wish" in the attraction Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom.
An the nighttime spectacular wishes, The Blue Fairy hosts along with her love Jiminy Cricket. In contrast to Jiminy, she only makes a few speaking appearances.
Main Street Electrical Parade
The Blue Fairy makes notable appearances in both versions. In Disneyland she was a staple part of the parade but was recently removed and replaced by a Tinker Bell float. At Walt Disney World, she is currently making regular appearances and to date the only live appearance in the Magic Kingdom.
In Tokyo Disneyland, the Blue Fairy can be seen in an extremely tall standard in the parade. She rides in a carriage driven by Pegasus.
- The Blue Fairy is the opposite of the Fairy in Carlo Collodi's original story. In the story, the Fairy has turquoise hair, wears normal clothing and lives in a cottage in the woods. Later she lives in a house on a place called Busy Bee Island.
- The Blue Fairy is the only female character in the movie (other than Cleo).
- The Blue Fairy appears as a statue in the film A.I. Artificial Intelligence at the end of the film.
- The Blue Fairy bears a resemblance with Cinderella, in that they both have similiar blonde hairstyle and seen wearings blue.
- Although not part of the Disney Princess franchise, it was present in an ancient image of the franchise, along with the Disney Princesses.
- Most of her facial expressions are much similar to Snow White's, no doubt because she shared the same live model for the animators, Marge Champion. Some of her facial expressions were used as an inspiration for Cinderella.
- Unlike all of the other characters in the film, the Blue Fairy was animated via rotoscoping rather than by freehand.
- While Pinocchio considers Geppetto to be his father since he was the one that created his body, it's implied that the Blue Fairy is actually his mother, since she was the one that brought him to life in the first place.

Got this in a 12oz bottle in a pre-packaged 6pk from the brewer. Pretty good selection for $13.40 or so. Excellent way to try them without buying the bomber at big dollars.
A- Nice coppery, amber colour. Very clear. NO head what so ever.
S- Nice, nice, not thrilling but nice. Hints of hops, touch grassy.
T- Subdued. Rather mellow by an IPA standard. Hints of caramel and a touch bitter. Flavours are blended well but overall taste is nothing special
M- Dry. Touch bitter
O- Alright. Nothing special. Very glad I had a chance to try it in a 341ml bottle at a reasonable price instead of the nearly $10.00 bomber. Will not buy the bomber or this one as there are much better Canadian IPA's out there now. This one would be a nice novelty at the cottage by the fire once but that would be it for this one.
Thx for reading!

Appearance: murky red/brown, mahogany; poured a good head but fades after a few minutes
Aroma: balance of sweet caramel malt and exotic hops; some citrus
Taste & Mouthfeel: rich caramel, maple malt flavours mingling well with just a moderate spiced hop note; malt character is a bit more forward, but neither side dominates - good balance and not expected; thinking of caramel cake - but with bite and chewiness , while still remaining silky smooth; getting some pine too
Overall: great full bodied texture and spot on balance considering the strong flavours

Bomber at LCBO. Lagerish mouthfeel. Something between a slight pale and lager aroma. Medium yellow body with a modest amount of foamy head. Slightly above medium mouthfeel. Decent hoppiness. Certainly closer to a pale in style than an IPA. Good summer drink as refreshing, and this worked on a hot day.

Best before Aug 22/12. Poured in to Duvel tulip.
A - Poured medium amber with one finger of bright white head with decent retention. Some light lacing.
S - Pine, floral and herbal hop aromas up front. The bitterness is evident but not overly strong. A big sweet caramel malt backbone seemingly provides a good balance. Appears to be an English IPA.
T - A moderate bitterness up front with floral, herbal and earthy flavours. A huge caramel malt backbone enters in the middle and provides a big sweetness. Slight bitterness returns in the finish. Very balanced.
M - Light to medium body. Somewhat creamy. Light carbonation.
O - Too malty for me. I wouldn't buy this one again, especially considering the price point.

part of an Ontario Craft Brewers tasters pack. Poured into a pint glass, half a finger of head, aromas of hops, nothing too overpowering however. Ruby colour, tastes a very palatable amount of hops. This brew will offend no one. Very enjoyable, light carbonation, no lacing whatsoever. I would recommend for anyone as a gateway to more hoppy IPA's.

Bottle from the LCBO, 750ml into a pint glass. Best before September 17, 2012.
Copper red with an offwhite head - a bit rocky, but not that dense. Some sticky lace and OK retention. Earthy, herbal and some citrus hopping and malts on the nose, a bit of caramel. Appears to have some English and American characteristics, but there are some stronger citrus and more straightforward American-style hopping when you dig a bit. Sweet caramel and toffee malt flavours initially, and quite bready. Citrus, and some grassy/herbal hop notes and bitterness is quite moderate. Medium body and fairly gentle on the carbonation, a decent maltier IPA (certainly not a classic American IPA, but perhaps a bit moreso than an English IPA); still probably not worthy of the $9 pricetag.

3.68/5 rDev +3.7%
Appearance: It has a nice clear deep golden/amber color to it. It has a nice off-white head that dies down moderately and leaves nice lacing.
Smell: The aromas definitly give out hints of sweet caramelly malts with some citrusy, grassy and earthy hops.
Taste: Like the aromas, it has a some sweet caramelly malts and a nuttiness along with some citrusy/earthy/grassy hops.
Mouthfeel: It has a low/medium carbonation with a nice overall balance and feel.
Drinkability: It's a very smooth drinkable beer accompanied with decent flavors and aromas.

750 mL bottle from the LCBO; best before Oct 25 2012. This is one I've been curious about for a while, but avoided until now because the price tag was a bit of a deterrent. There are only so many Ontario-made IPAs though, so I was bound to get around to this eventually.
Pours a brilliant colour halfway between copper and bronze, topped with a modest finger of creamy, off-white head. It soon thins out to a wispy cap, but leaves behind a ring of sticky lacing. Fresh, herbal/spicy aroma with lots of earthy, citrusy hops and some some sweet caramel malts.
More balanced flavour than most American IPAs, with a stronger malt profile to counter the still-prominent hops. The sip starts off sweet, with toasted, honey-glazed bready malts and caramel, leading into some grapefruit astringency that intensifies. Herbal, earthy, slightly-piney dryness in the finish, with minimal lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. On the light side of medium-bodied, with a slightly slippery mouthfeel. The gentle carbonation and natural smoothness give this a good mouthfeel in my opinion, but it does feel a bit heavier than 6%.
Final Grade: 3.73, a respectable B grade. I've tried this twice in the last two days, and I think it's probably more English than American, but it's a relatively good IPA regardless of which box you want to stuff it into. Many hopheads aren't looking for something as malty as this (and that's their prerogative), but others will certainly appreciate the balance. My opinion falls somewhere between those two extremes - it's tasty, plenty drinkable and I might get it again, but with so many other great choices I'm not that enthusiastic about it... so we'll have to wait and see. The price really doesn't do it any favours either. In short - 10 Point is a pretty good English-style IPA, but it probably lacks the intensity needed to please the more hardcore hopheads.
[Updated Oct. 13 2013]
A friend and I split another bottle last night. I'm bumping the score slightly; the hop bill seems a little sturdier than last year's batch, and as far as IPAs go this is a relatively light, highly drinkable example. I still think it's overpriced, and I still doubt it's going to impress a lot of American IPA fans, but it's not a badly-brewed beer at all. In fact, it's probably one of this brewery's best offerings, and something I hope to see made available in six-packs or cans at some point - because honestly, the bomber isn't really worth it.

Bottle 4 of 6 from LCBO taster's pack. Served cold into a pint glass.
Appearance - Bronze colored beer with 1 finger of of white head resting on top, which dissipates quickly. Average head retention and few bubbles in the beer, which is very clear.
Smell - Mild tropical fruits blended with malts and an earthy slightly piney hoppiness.
Taste - Earthy feel, some tropical fruits, lingering bitterness and a nice balance between hops and malts. Not too bitter.
Mouthfeel - Mild mouthfeel, with medium body, smooth creamy and low carbonation.
Overall - Not a lot to say here other than its a fairly good IPA but is not mind blowing in any sense.

Props to my brothers-in-law for this treat!
A - Pours a nice dark copper color, finger of head with some retention and sporadic lacing.
S - Mild on the nose, hints of citrus, biscuit notes, leafy greens and a touch of pepper.
T - The hops are subdued, sweet earthy presence with a leafy character and a lingering sour citrus bitterness. A weak caramel backbone comes through in the finish with a touch of bready malts.
M - Medium bodied ale that goes down smooth and finishes a tad dry.
O - A tasty IPA that is flavorful, but not certain it lives up to the price tag. I would certainly enjoy this as a 6-er, with a decent hop profile, but nothing mind blowing. Given te presentation, I must admit I had some higher expectations.

On the evening of November 14, 1970, one of the sports world's most tragic events took place, when a DC-9 carrying most of the Marshall University football team crashed in low clouds and rain, in Huntington, West Virginia.
The team was returning from an away game, and the chartered airplane descended toward the Tri-State Airport. At the time, visibility was 4-6 miles at the ground, but rain was falling out of some very low clouds. The ceiling was only 500', and the pilot descended through the clouds too quickly. Reports from 42 years ago say that the plane skimmed treetops upon approaching the airport, and the plane crashed, killing everyone on board.
All but a few members of the Thundering Herd were on the plane, and died that night.
The best chance for rain will be late evening Monday into the early morning hours on Tuesday.

What has the opposite of junk food—nutrition but no calories?
So, essentially, we can group foods into one of four categories. There's stuff that's nutritious—but has calories, in the upper right; calories, but no nutrition—junk food; and then there's stuff with neither calories nor nutrition. Is there anything that's nutritious, but doesn't add any calories? Well there's water. That's good for you and calorie free. How can one add nutrition to the water, though, without adding calories?
We can make some tea. Has all the water of water, but as a bonus is packed with phytonutrients. It's nutrition, without calories. Every time you drink just water you are losing an opportunity to get nutrients by drinking tea instead.

Question-what's your thoughts on WheatGrass juicing? Healthy or Harmful?
Hello Trinda, I believe I can help you with your question. Wheat grass, like many other "super foods" have been touted as a super healthy substance. But like many other "super foods", they turn out more harm than good. For example, check out the Star fruit, mangosteen and several spirulina videos Dr. G posted http://nutritionfacts.org/?s=super+foods People claim they are healthy but they cause many health detriments. But regarding wheat grass, what does the science say on the subject? Well, according to a study done on rats, it lowered cholesterol, could help prevent heart disease, and i quote the "Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids, triterpenoids, anthraquinol, alkaloids, tannins, saponins and sterols in fresh wheat grass juice." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21485304 It appears as though wheat grass is rich in antioxidants and is health promoting. Digging deeper, we can see that for pregnant woman, wheat grass in fact controls BPA toxicity very effectively. "our data suggested potential detoxification of wheat sprouts on BPA-toxicity via antioxidative and interference of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME)-mediated mechanisms in young women." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21736952 Wheat grass is, as far as the data tells, health promoting! (for more on BPA check out this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A#Health_effects as well as Dr. Greger's video on BPA http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/which-plastics-are-harmful/ )

Re "House GOP owns reckless federal shutdown" (Editorials, Oct. 1): Nice try, Bee. Ignoring the fact that the Democratic-controlled Senate, under the questionable leadership of Majority Leader Harry Reid, refused to debate or consider any amendment sent over from the House, has shown that the editorial board is as obtuse as the members of the Senate.
The so-called Affordable Care Act was foisted upon an uninformed public by an uninformed partisan Congress, who with disturbing arrogance has exempted itself from participation. Further, while the Dems continue to shout "its the law of the land", they ignore the fact this President is breaking this law by delaying for his political donors mandated participation.
That this widely unpopular act will create hardships on the economy, through a multiple of unknowns, is of little concern to the Senate. This doesn't worry those in Congress who wallow in continued perks, privilege and disdain for those they claim to represent.

About MS
What is MS?
Types and Treatment
Helpful Links:
MS Profiles
Resource Library
There are two subgroups sometimes referred to in RRMS:
Benign MS in which remission between relapses is almost complete such that 15 – 20 years after diagnosis, there is little if any accumulation of physical disability. In most cases of benign MS, symptoms mainly affect the senses of sight and/or touch. The proportion of people considered to have benign MS decreases over time and recent research suggests that when cognitive function is examined, that the incidence of truly benign disease may be lower than originally thought. The challenge for treatment is that benign disease cannot be predicted at outset and so disease modifying treatment remains an important consideration.
Clinically Isolated syndrome (CIS) refers to a single episode of neurological symptoms. This is also sometimes referred to as probable MS. Often, on investigation using MRI and/or evoked potentials, the doctor finds laboratory evidence of a second attack which then defines RRMS. In very early MS, it may be necessary to follow things and repeat investigations a few months later to find evidence of a second defining MS attack.

|Remember: Live but one day at a time
By Byron McNutt
IT HAS LONG been said there are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension. One of these days is yesterday with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone.

The Good Leaders Walk the Walk
I have studied in the world around me, I have noted a decided change in the type of people who are serving as leaders in the fire service. Perhaps it is a by-product of the way that our society has changed, or maybe it is just the next step in our...
How important is loading hose with the troops in the whole scheme of things? Maybe is it no big thing, but it is not the activity itself so much as it is the willingness of the leader to share in the task at hand. The same thing holds true on the fireground. I can remember a particular battalion chief who took great pride in the fact that he never wore self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). He mentioned this to me just after I came stumbling out of a burning church, covered with soot and soaking wet, after working with a very aggressive group of engine companies to halt the spread of the fire. He was great for shouting encouragement from the safety of the street. He was also famous for calling the shots on a cold winter's night from the heated front seat of his chief's car.
The only time this guy ever led from the front was when it came time to catch an ambulance for the hospital: Or to hit the chow line. I figured that if I did my job exactly opposite from him, I would succeed. I was right again.
Another burr that periodically pops up under my saddle involves officers who spend their entire lives doing paper work. They will call a drill or a cleanup detail, show their face and then duck into the office under the guise of doing paper work. While the troops are slaving away on a drafty apparatus floor getting wet and dirty, these home-office commandos hide behind the doors of their computer-laden palaces.
How can you supervise people that you cannot see? How do you even know if the work is being accomplished if you are hidden away in a warm and comfortable office? Even if you don't want to lower yourself to swab toilets with the peasants, why not hang around and offer a bit of support and encouragement to the working class.
There is a time and a place for paperwork. I realize that it is a necessary evil that comes with the burden of command. But do not duck out on the dirty details and leave the troops on their own. Be sure to share the good and the bad with your troops.
Conversely, we can remember a certain deputy chief who allowed each of his battalion chiefs to take charge of their battalion districts. He encouraged his chiefs to make decisions and try innovative approaches. He allowed them to try. When they failed, he helped them learn from their mistakes.
He took a great deal of grief from those in positions above him, but he stood behind his guys. And when his battalion chiefs succeeded, as they did with growing frequency under his tutelage, he allowed them to bask in the warm glow of their success. He did not rush in and take credit for their good works. However, the troops all knew that he was at the root of their success. People went out of their way to transfer to his shift, because they knew that the work environment was stimulating and secure.
What people see a leader do stimulates them to act? They can either emulate them or reject them. People who act in such a way that they are labeled as poor leaders are usually rejected by people who see them for the frauds that they are. However, if they are a negative example, and are emulated by their followers, they will then spread the seed of bad leadership. That is why it is so critical for any of us in positions of leadership to set a positive example.
More than that, the ways in which we train our followers set the tone for the future leadership pool in our organization. A great leader can bring about several generations of effective leaders. However, one bad apple can beget a series of future bad apples that can hamstring their department's ability to be successful into the future. Many fire department are experiencing leadership problems owing to a series of poor leaders who followed one upon the other.
I fear that many communities are almost at the point of no return when it comes to changing how they operate. The insidious growth of political influence has so thoroughly permeated many municipalities that the fire departments in those places have been reduced to job services for the favored few. I see instances of this every week on the Internet.
How did the fire service come to this point in history? This came about through the magic of misguided leaders who never did have a good example to follow during their growth and maturation as first-line and mid-level managers. Can people change? There is always hope. That is why I keep pounding the keys on my weary computer.
Maybe someone, somewhere will rise up, shake off the dust of past bad leadership and take an enlightened approach to the 21st Century. They will then become a true servant to the troops and a leader within their community. If and when they do, I hope that they might possibly remember that an old, retired, battalion chief from the City of Newark stood up on more than one occasion and yelled, "… follow me"

- Learn the details. Fidelity recommends working with your employer for retirement planning, to clarify the details of your benefits and the decisions you need to make, including your payout options. Keep in mind that some decisions cannot be changed once you have retired.
- Create a retirement budget. Map your retirement planning fundamentals, including a detailed plan of your estimated expenses. These plans will determine your lifestyle, so be sure to include inflation costs in your retirement budget.
If the lifestyle you want will cost more than you expect, you may need to consider working part-time during retirement, reducing expenses, or postponing your retirement date to meet your goals.
- Develop your retirement income stream. Create a retirement planning strategy that covers your expenses.
Know what your Social Security payments, and pension and survivor benefits will be.
Determine how much you need to withdraw from your portfolio annually, being as conservative as possible, particularly in the early retirement years.
Fidelity suggests that withdrawing more than 4 percent increases the likelihood that retirees will deplete their assets prematurely.
Assess when you can withdraw money from your retirement accounts without penalty (most individuals can withdraw from tax-deferred savings plans without penalty at age 59½).
Fidelity recommends that you consider whether an annuity may make sense to supplement your retirement income.

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to post the table I made this week. It makes running the drill press so much easier now ( and safer ). I came across blackcherry's post on a table that he built and that is what I based my design on. The top is made out of 2 pieces of 3/4" mdf with a 1/8" piece of hardboard on the top. There is an insert that is 3/4" mdf that is off centered so I can rotate it for a fresh hole every time I drill. The fence and edging is oak that I made from a scrap pallet I got from work. The hold downs are Incra. The t-track and knobs were ordered from Mcmaster Carr. I set 2 t-tracks in the bottom so I could attach it to the steel table and tightened it down using 4 knobs. It was a fun project to do and I recomend building one if you have"nt yet. Total cost was about $55.00 for me to make this. I would like to thank Blackcherry for his post. It helped me alot. Ron

Nice work! I made one a couple of years ago, but I couldn't get the concentric circles to work out. I tried a couple of methods, and either the insert or the table was always the wrong size, out of round, what ever. How did you make your insert and match the cut out in the table?

Looks very good. I just laid one out earlier tonight for my drill press.

Thanks for the comment guys, Topapilot I have sent you a message about the insert. I hope it might help you. Dusty, you are correct. I don't drill anything very large so I opted to just cover the t-track over. By reading the comments I can look forward to seeing 4 or 5 new tables on our project page soon. Have fun guys.

It probably seems to you that that the only people having fun at the moment are the BC Liberal and NDP political party members who are getting the chance to vote for a new leader, and if I know you (and I think that I do) you are almost certainly sitting at home thinking "Why in the name of all that's sane can't I vote on something too?"
Well now you can.
With less than three weeks to go until the Whitecaps begin their Major League Soccer odyssey what better time could there be to take a definitive sample of what the loyal Vancouver fans expect from their team in their inaugural season?
Indeed, anybody who has read "The Wisdom of Crowds" will know that whenever a large group of people are allowed to vote on a particular issue then the majority answer will prove to be correct 100% of the time ( I didn't actually read the book, but I'm guessing that that is it's conclusion). So this should pretty much tell us what will happen in 2011.
The poll below gives you the chance to have your say on how the Whitecaps season will pan out. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to vote for the option that you think is the most likely to happen. We all know what we want to happen of course, but today we need to stare into the abyss of truth and select the answer that best reflects our true feelings for the season.
That's right. The abyss of truth! Let's see Portland and Seattle fans deal with the cold, harsh realities of life in such a fashion.
They can't handle the truth!
Anyway, voting ends in one week so get clicking.

"Unfolding Routes" is the new album by Italian saxophonist and composer Gianni Bardaro, in collaboration with drummer and co-leader Pierluigi Villani. The album showcase original compositions by both leaders exploring the difficult TRIO constellation and ranging influences from post-bop, avant garde, contemporary jazz, as well as South American rhythms. UNFOLDING ROUTES was recorded in Copenhagen, featuring musicians of different nationality such as Andreas Hatholt from Denmark on bass/contrabbas and Yohan Ramon from Cuba, on percussions. "Even though it's another lesson in concision, we can't help but anticipate more great music, from Gianni Bardaro and Pierluigi Villani -- individually and especially together.

The Indiana Pacers are contemplating all of the possibilities in Thursday night's NBA draft.
They could improve the bench with selections at No. 23 and 53, make a deal for a tested veteran or look beyond next season and toward the future.
After reaching the Eastern Conference finals and pushing two-time champion Miami to Game 7 earlier this month, the Pacers do need one thing: The missing link to making a title run.
General manager Kevin Pritchard has a history of aggressive draft-day moves. He acknowledges that he has been fielding phone calls about potential trades since last week as rumors heated up that Indiana is interested in trading for Jimmer Fredette of Sacramento. Pritchard declined comment on the rumors, focusing instead on draft night.

A Pinellas deputy was fired last October for using excessive force on an inmate, and the sheriff's office released video of the incident Tuesday.
The video shows Deputy Desmond Quinn grabbing the inmate by the neck and throwing him to the ground.
The inmate, 22-year-old David Fowler, had been arrested earlier on a charge of driving under the influence.
In the video, Quinn removes handcuffs from Fowler, who was complaining about pain from them.
Fowler then complains to another deputy on the other side of the desk that Quinn is intentionally hurting him. He then raises his hand to point at Quinn.
"Anytime you put your hand up at me, I'm gonna take it down," Quinn says to Fowler.
"It wouldn't surprise me," Fowler responds.
The deputy then handcuffs Fowler again, and removes his necklace.
The two continue to exchange words.
"I put my pants on the same way you do, I'm not intoxicated and you gotta cause me pain," Fowler says.
The two exchange some more unintelligible words, then Quinn grabs Fowler's neck, throws him against the desktop, and then throws him to the ground.
Several deputies then surround Fowler, who begins crying and yelling. After several minutes, the deputies pick him up and take him away.
Quinn later told investigators he reacted the way he did because he thought Fowler was getting ready to spit in his face, and he was trying to turn his head away.
"I didn't know if spit was gonna come out of his -- a bunch of spit was gonna come out of his mouth or if he was just blowing, like that, at the moment," Quinn told investigators, according to the sheriff's office report.
But in the same interview, Quinn said what happened was "unprofessional."
"…if I could do it again some other kind of way, I would do it again, you know. I wouldn't go that route at all," Quinn said.
According to the report, Quinn had been suspended one other time for use of excessive force when he tipped over an inmate in a wheelchair who he said was trying to kick another deputy.
On another occasion, the report says Quinn violated policy by not completing a series of jailhouse checks on time.
Quinn had been with the sheriff's office since 2007.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes
Yield: 4 Servings
- 1 large potato
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 4 large cloves garlic
- 1 red pepper
- 3/4 lb lean pork
- 2 onion morcilla sausages (8 oz)
- 1 white butifarra sausage (1 lb)
- 6 Tbsp virgin olive oil
- 8 oz tomato sauce
- 12 oz beef broth
- 10 oz rice
- 1 Tbsp sweet Spanish paprika
First prepare vegetables and meat: Peel and slice the potato. Rinse and slice the tomato and red pepper. Peel the garlic cloves and leave whole. Cut the pork into small cubes between 1/2 to 1 inch squares. Slice the morcilla and butifarra sausages.
Pour 3 Tbsp olive oil into a large heavy bottom frying pan, covering the bottom. Heat on medium. When hot enough, sauté garlic, red pepper and pork cubes, browning on all sides.

The NFL Top 100 Is A Joke
Joe Flacco was ranked 74th on the list. Never mind the fact that this clown was somehow above Joe Thomas (which just further proves the point that Thomas in the 80's is an insult to football), but in front of Tony Romo? Seriously? Unless this is a list on ranking uni-brow's, Flacco should be nowhere near this list.

Utility group offers recommendations
Last Updated: 15:50 July 15, 2013
Perhaps most notably, the working group addressed how to give municipal utility customers who aren't city residents a voice in the utility's oversight, something that's become a hot-button issue in the municipalization debate given that the city's proposed scenarios include taking over service for some nonresidents.
The 15-member governance working group, which includes representatives from the local business, governmental and residential communities, was formed in May to look into what additions to municipal utility governance that city council should consider either by ordinance or by amendment to the city charter.
The working group honed in primarily on the duties and makeup of the utility advisory board, which the city charter stipulates would advise city council in its decision-making with regard to operations of a municipal utility.
Among the working group's recommendations, which will be formally submitted at a city council study session on July 23, is that at least one seat on the utility advisory board be filled by a noncity resident within the service territory.
The charter allows up to four members of the advisory board to be nonresidents of the city as long as they are owners or employed by Boulder businesses, or work for a government entity served by the electric utility. The working group recommended that a charter amendment be added that would allow non-resident customers of the utility be allowed on the board regardless of whether they met the business or government criteria.
Boulder voters in 2011 approved two ballot measures allowing the city to pursue creating its own municipal utility and study the feasibility of doing such. The city's proposals for municipalization include taking over service for about 5,800 county residents who live outside the city limits.
"I know that's been a huge issue for lots of folks in the county," said Carl Castillo, the city of Boulder's policy adviser who was the staff lead of the governance working group. "By (requiring the presence of a non-Boulder resident utility customer on the advisory board), you would be giving a sense of confidence to those residents (that they would be treated fairly in management of the utility)."
Castillo said that recommendation from the working group likely wouldn't be acted upon until the city determined for sure that it could take over service of any customers outside the city limits.
The governance working group's other recommendations included an ordinance to ensure that the advisory board would represent both large and small customers in an effort to keep the board from being dominated by, say, large businesses or government organizations.
The working group also recommended that the council generally seek advisory board members that collectively have skills in engineering, finance and economics, law, energy strategies to achieve greenhouse gas reductions, and utility operations. The fourth skill, regarding greenhouse gas reduction strategies, is one that the working group recommended making a requirement of at least one advisory board member.
The final recommendation made by the working group suggested that the utility advisory board be given the role of advising city council on electric rates, something that hadn't been specifically spelled out in the charter.
Issues that the governance working group didn't consider but could still in the future if city council asked included: the advisory board appointment process and term limits, and how city council would delegate additional powers to the advisory board.
"The working group was very engaged and very interested in continuing to work," Castillo said.
If the city council agrees with the working group's four recommendations, the next step would be to draft ordinances and/or charter amendments. Such action likely wouldn't be taken on July 23, however, as there will be a flood of information presented at the study session.
In addition to the governance working group's recommendations, city of Boulder/Xcel Energy task force will present its findings on what ways the city could partner with Xcel - rather than creating its own utility - on achieving its goals of moving toward the use of more renewable energy.
Power Services Inc., will provide its third-party assessment of whether the city has adequately shown it can meet charter requirements regarding the creation of an electric utility. By July 23, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission might also have ruled on a city petition for clarification on whether the city's stranded costs owed to Xcel for creating a municipal utility would be reduced if the city bought a certain percentage of its energy from Xcel for a period of time.
"That's going to be a monumental news event," Boulder communications manager Sarah Huntley said of the July 23 study session.

1. I wore a light pink shirt to work yesterday. Seven people told me I looked tan. I'm never wearing any other color again.
2. It's Easter weekenddddddddddd. Which means I need to stock up on Reese's Eggs so I can survive the year.
I was going to make a picture of Jesus holding a Reese's, but I thought that might be too far. So here you go instead:
3. 13 Simple Steps To Get You Through A Rough Day. Trust me, check it out. It made my day yesterday. Especially the "Be Happy You Aren't One of These People" segment:
Or this one:
4. That picture makes me so thankful that I was not famous and Facebook did not exist when I was a teenager. Thank the Lord. But it does remind me of how incredibly angry it makes me when people scan photos from elementary, middle, and high school and tag me in them on Facebook. WTF is wrong with you! Get a job. Why do you have time for that?!?! Last week this girl tagged me in a photo from fourth grade where I had a chili-bowl cut and looked like Devon Sawa. I swear, if I see her at our 10 year high school reunion this summer I'm going to punch her in the boob.
I got the notification during a meeting and I loudly gasped and ran to my computer to get that damn thing deleted. Bitch.
5. I'm going to be out of high school for 10 years this summer. WTF happened. Crap. I need to do some cool stuff so I can seem really fun and impressive and not like my usual boring self.
6. This is the story of my life. I am so sick of men sending me free drinks, champagne, jewelry, and buying me stuff because I'm so pretty. And don't get me started on all those women who hate me for my hotness, I know it has nothing to do with my strange and off-putting personality.
7. Guess who watched Mean Girls at 4 am? Yes me, who the hell else would I be talking about? I have been randomly waking up all week. No bueno.
8. My friend sent me this last night:
And it reminded me of when my roommates now boyfriend would drive down all the time to see her and she wasn't sure if he liked her. He drove four hours. In a truck. It probably cost him $700. He wants to keep your forever.
9. Holy hot and spicy beefcakes Mr. Wahlberg.
10. Titanic 3D opens this weekend!! I cannot wait. It will be like all this shit since 8th grade never happened. I don't have wrinkles, I don't have a job, I don't have debt, my thighs aren't touching, and I still think getting married after high school is so romantic (<- didn't do that by the way).
11. And if you are a Titanic spaz like me, here are 33 things you didn't know about the movie.
12. Ryan Gosling apparently saved a woman from getting hit by a taxi. Ryan, I don't even know where we go from here. I mean really?
I mean he's got to be some sort of foreign intergalactic sexy space alien right?
13. Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard has opened up about her struggle with Bulimia as she tried to live up to the image of a perfect body. I wish more famous women would come forward about these issues.
14. Like 14 of you have sent me this card. I don't appreciate it. I'm not passive aggressive at all… I don't know what you are talking about you jerks.
15. Allegedly, Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg, and Jason Sudekis are leaving SNL. Dear God. What are they going to do? This is devastating. Oh well, I don't care, I can find something else to watch and drink to on Saturday nights. Not that I'm ever at home alone on a Saturday night drinking. Nope, not this super outgoing and exciting girl.

Another prospectus about Earl from Draft Express. HMMM only 6' 8'' without shoes? Let's hope he doesn't forget them on the way to game.
The "experts" seem to the think he is a bit of a headcase, sometimes disappearing for stretches (sound like anyone we know), yet with"freakish" athleticism. A raw product-no different from most newly drafted players.
So-welcome to the NBA Earl Clark, and um, Planet Orange (are we still calling it that?)
