Throughout the 2006-2007 winter season, Vail Resorts will offer guests at each of the five mountain resorts the opportunity to participate in a special fundraising effort by contributing $1 on season passes, $1 on online lift ticket transactions, and $1 per room night at its Colorado-based lodging properties. Each dollar raised by Vail Resorts will be matched with 50 cents by the National Forest Foundation. Vail Resorts and the National Forest Foundation expect to raise up to $600,000 (including the matching funds), three to four times more than the National Forest Foundation's next largest fundraising program of this kind.
Proceeds collected by Vail Resorts will be donated to the National Forest Foundation to fund conservation projects in the two forest areas, which total more than 2.3 million acres. The voluntary $1 contribution will be added to the total amount of a season pass, each online lift ticket transaction or lodging night rate and will be explained to guests prior to their purchase. The National Forest Foundation will administer a process to determine which conservation projects and nonprofit organizations are selected to receive funding. The funds will be used to implement on-the-ground conservation projects in recreation, wildlife habitat improvement and stream restoration. "The national forests offer a spectacular setting for our five mountain resorts, where millions of people of all ages come each year to recreate together. This program with the National Forest Foundation allows us to partner with our guests to further protect, enhance and improve upon these great natural treasures so they may continue to provide memorable experience to those who enjoy recreating in them," said Rob Katz, chief executive officer of Vail Resorts.
In April 2007, our company donated $225,815 to seven non-profit organizations for conservation projects in Colorado's White River National Forest. The following organizations and projects were selected by the National Forest Foundation to receive funding:
• Wilderness Volunteers, Gore Range Trail and Maroon-Snowmass Trail Wilderness Service Trips • Friends of the Eagle Nest Wilderness, Wilderness Ecosystem Improvement Project • Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers (RFOV), RFOV 2007 Trail Projects • Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC), 2007 VOC Summit County Projects • Eagle County Youth Conservation Corps, Eagle County Youth Conservation Corps-Project Season 2007 • Colorado Fourteeners Initiative, 2007 White River Fourteeners Project • Rocky Mountain Youth Corps, Youth Corps Conservation Project
The National Forest Foundation is a nonprofit partner of the U.S. Forest Service. The National Forest Foundation helps the Forest Service improve the health of the 192-million-acre national forest system, and takes action to bring about solutions.
From its inception, Beaver Creek has been committed to fish and wildlife habitat. In keeping with the effort, the resort's road maintenance crews continue to review and modify practices to maintain water quality.
Approximately 20 years ago, management decided upon the use of granite chips to replace lava cinders commonly used for road traction. The department made great strides in limiting the sediment fines that reach area waterways. To further this commitment, Beaver Creek established a program to further reduce sediment released to our waterways. During 2001, Beaver Creek distributed over 1500 tons of granite chips on the resorts roadways, and, in turn, collected and recycled over 70 % of all chips, thus improving sedimentation in the surrounding streams.
In addition, resort officials implemented a sedimentation basin cleaning program to further reduce effects on our watershed.
Beaver Creek Resort's commitment to water quality during all soil disturbance projects is strictly enforced. Contractors are required to meet with the design review board and private security staff, prior to construction, for approval on the required standards. Fines are levied for any noncompliance.
Beaver Creek Resort constructed a reservoir near the top of the mountain that holds 127 acre-feet, or approximately 41,000,000 gallons, of water. This reservoir is filled in the spring by snowmelt and runoff and is stored until the beginning of the following winter to be used for snowmaking. The benefit of using water from the reservoir is that it reduces the amount of water diverted from streams during sensitive times of the year. When consistent flows are maintained, fish and aquatic habitat are better off.
Each spring, Vail Resorts Inc presents the largest annual highway and road clean up day in the state of Colorado in conjunction with the Eagle River Watershed Council, a local non-profit conservation organization. With the support of over 900 volunteers, local businesses and the Colorado Department of Transportation, 90 miles of highway in Eagle Valley are cleaned of litter. In 2005, the volunteer group collected and disposed of 89,300 pounds of litter during the three-hour event. Each summer, Beaver Creek employees hit the slopes to clean up any trash left over from the winter. In the fall employees spend time on the Eagle River cleaning up and removing any debris both in and on the banks of the valley's main waterway.
Each year, the resort's operating dates and posted closures reflect sensitivity to wildlife. In conjunction with the Colorado Division of Wildlife, sensitive areas remain closed from May 6th through June 31st for elk calving season.
Trails were designed on Beaver Creek Mountain with fish and wildlife habitat in mind. Many of the trails are studded with tree islands that offer protection to both small and large mammals as they cross the open runs. Trails are re-vegetated with native grasses after any disturbance to reduce soil erosion and waterbars are placed periodically to slow down spring runoff.
In fairness to the resort's winged population, Beaver Creek adopted two programs specifically targeted toward birds, though many of the area's small critters have benefited, as well. Beaver Creek established a program that left naturally dead, non-infested trees, or snags, standing upon the mountain. These snags were subsequently utilized by the resort's feathered population as ideal nesting and perching locations. This program addressed both the disruptive need for extraction methods and demonstrated a sensitivity to the resort's resident wildlife (small critters loved the idea, too).
In addition to these natural perching and nesting facilities, the resort went a step further. During the spring of 1999, Beaver Creek Resort, with much assistance from Eagle County Boy Scout troops and Forest Service representatives, built 50 nesting boxes designed specifically for the Native Mountain Bluebird. Resort environmentalists identified studies showing that Native Mountain Bluebird populations had been decreasing in Colorado due to logging of forests, and competing cavity nesters (Tree Swallows and Violet-Green Swallows). Upon completion these boxes were placed on Beaver Creek Mountain in habitat favorable to the bluebird. Each spring, the boxes are cleaned and maintained, and checked for use. Should any of the boxes remain unused during an entire season, they are relocated to a more favorable spot on the mountain.
Beaver Creek Golf Course became a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. This is something that only 4 % of the golf courses in the US achieved at the time of our joining. The golf course received this certification by filling the requirements with the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program. We try to promote environmental stewardship and practice golf maintenance as environmentally sound as possible.
Beaver Creek Golf Course also received a Certificate of Achievement for Wildlife and Habitat Management. The golf course received this certification because of our efforts to preserve our wildlife. The golf course installed signs to educate guest on wildlife. They also encourage guests to enjoy wildlife on the golf course from a distance and have fox crossing signs. Because of our habitat protection, guest can enjoy waterfowl nesting area on 12 and 18 pond.
Our company annually supports the local chapters of Ducks Unlimited, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Rocky Mountain Mule Deer Foundation to protect the habitat of our region's native animals and plants. In funding these outstanding organizations, wetlands, forests and other wildlife areas are restored, managed and protected.

Does anyone know where I can purchase corn gluten meal in Mobile or Baldwin counties? I checked with St. Elmo seed and feed--they don't carry it. They were kind enough to call one other establishment looking for it and that was a no go as well. Any pointers appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I purchased Corn gluten meal at a farmers co-op here several years ago under another name, trying to keep weeds from coming up in potted plants. I have tried to find the name of that brand with no luck,sorry. With all the plant nurseries in your area you should be able to find it at a co-op. You may get Lowes to look it up and order it for you. They are good in trying to please in costumer service. |
swjonthebay, have you found a supplier for corn gluten meal? Just wondering. |
- Posted by swjonthebay 8b Alabama (My Page) on Mon, Feb 11, 13 at 19:20
Bulzi, thank you for responding and please forgive me for being tardy in responding back! No, I have not found a supplier yet but your mention of nurseries has pointed me in a new direction...I'l give them a try. |
- Posted by outsideplaying 7/No. Ala (My Page) on Fri, Feb 15, 13 at 9:21
Last year I noticed Preen carried a product specifically for the vegetable garden. When I looked at the ingredients it was corn gluten. It was pricey and I suspect, as bulzi mentioned, you could get it cheaper at a farmer's co-op, which is where I have purchased it previously also. |

The Golf Championships, Inc. Names Kent Atherton As CEO
ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Armada Sports & Entertainment, Inc., announced today that it has engaged Atherton Communications, LLC, a CT-based sports media advisory firm to lead its wholly owned subsidiary, The Golf Championships, Inc. and appointed Kent Atherton to serve as the acting Chief Executive Officer, effective Nov. 1.
Atherton has enjoyed a distinguished career as senior sports television executive, most recently in the role of Vice President Sports at DIRECTV in New York. At DIRECTV, Kent supervised revenue-generation for all sports programming assets including NFL Sunday Ticket, MLB Extra Innings, NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, NASCAR Hot Pass, NBA, NHL and college football, along with proprietary interactive channels for Summer & Winter Olympic games and major events in professional golf & tennis.
Before joining DIRECTV in 2008, Atherton served as President & Chief Operating Officer of Ginn Sports Entertainment, LLC (GSE), a division of FL-based Ginn Resorts, developer and manager of high-end residential golf resorts & private clubs throughout the United States and Caribbean. GSE was launched by Atherton following the successful debut of the LPGA Tour event he created, the Ginn Open, which was held at Reunion Resort in Orlando. Under Atherton's supervision, GSE launched two additional professional golf tournaments on the PGA Champions Tour and LPGA Tour. All three tournaments were widely acclaimed as among the premier events in professional golf. GSE also managed a sponsorship portfolio of professional golfers (including Annika Sorenstam, Cristie Kerr, Lucas Glover, Lee Janzen) and led the company's extensive corporate marketing efforts in NASCAR.
Prior to launching GSE, Atherton served as founding President and Chief Executive Officer of Pantheon International, LLC, a New York City-based niche sports marketing & event production firm, which owned high-profile sports properties across the USA, including the annual John R. Wooden Classic, men's D1 college basketball invitational event created by Atherton in 1994 and held each year since in Anaheim, CA. "Kent is a highly accomplished executive, with an extensive background in sports marketing & sponsorship, media sales, TV production, digital media, international syndication and tournament operations. His leadership will contribute significantly toward the development and execution of our high-profile television events," stated Anthony Gebbia, Chairman and CEO of Armada. "The Company is truly fortunate to have an executive of his capability join our team." The opportunity to help launch another exciting new sports property was a compelling component of Mr. Atherton's decision to lead the team at The Golf Championships. "It is not often an event opportunity comes along with the ingredients to create instant awareness on a global basis," Atherton said. "People are naturally attracted to feel good stories and enjoy rooting for the underdog. The Golf Championships format has the potential to generate viral buzz and reward viewers with the type of thrilling moments most often associated with professional golf's sudden death playoffs."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

What happens when ordinary people are taught a system to make extraordinary money?
Richard Dennis made a fortune on Wall Street by investing according to a few simple rules. Convinced that great trading was a skill that could be taught to anyone, he made a bet with his partner and ran a classified ad in the Wall Street Journal looking for novices to train. His recruits, later known as the Turtles, had anything but traditional Wall Street backgrounds; they included a professional blackjack player, a pianist, and a fantasy game designer. By the time the experiment ended, Dennis had made a hundred million dollars from his Turtles and created one killer Wall Street legend.
In The Complete TurtleTrader, Michael W. Covel tells their riveting story with the first ever on-the-record interviews with individual Turtles. He shows how Dennis's rules worked—and can still work today—for any investor with the desire and commitment to learn from one of the greatest investing stories of all time.
The first impression one gets from The Complete Turtle Trader is quite favorable. It is an attractive format, and a pretty easy read, though well written and detailed. The primary text is about 200 pages, which I got through in a single afternoon (though I do read faster than most). And the price tag is extremely reasonable for a hardcover trading book, much lower than what you often see.
This book definitely continues along the path of the trend trading subject of Covel's earlier book, Trend Following, but does so through the story of the famous Turtles. Readers of Jack Schwager's book, Market Wizards, and it's follow-up, The New Market Wizards, will be familiar with the Turtles. They are the result of a nature vs. nurture running debate between famous futures trader Richard Dennis (a Market Wizard) and his partner William Eckhardt (profiled in The New Market Wizards).
The Turtle program was an effort to determine whether traders can be created, developed... read more
In The Complete TurtleTraders, author Michael W. Covel tells the riveting account of a group of investors who were led by one remarkable man, Richard Dennis (with the help of his partner, William Eckhardt). Dennis was somewhat of an iconoclast, not brought up through the ranks of Fortune 500 company grooming programs, figuring out his own methods for making money.
Dennis was a successful investor who believed that investing
principles could be taught to anyone. His partner, William Eckhardt, disagreed, tending to believe that the talent was inborn. Their differing views formed the basis for a bet between the two men and led to one of the more remarkable experiments in investing history.
Basically, Dennis agreed to find a diverse group of individuals, give each recruit $1 million dollars, put them through two weeks of intensive training, teach them specific investing principles and methods and see how well they'd do after that. To add to the challenge,... read more
Covel's book is an excellent, in depth look into the personalities of Dennis, Eckhardt and the "Turtles" they trained and mentored. We get a great view into the humanity of the organization that started large scale systematic trading in a time when most traders were addicted to fundamentals ( some things haven't changed in that regard).
The emotional highs and lows, the risks, the luck, and the losses are methodically organized and documented. History was written as it happened on the trading floor. In short, its a clear, concise read and is a new addition to Covel's first book, Trend following.

Instability and Inter-Religious Violence in Myanmar
CFR Senior Fellow Joshua Kurlantzick leads a conversation on Myanmar's transition to democracy and the rise of inter-religious violence in...
Interviewee: Paul Harrison
Interviewer: Jayshree Bajoria
April 9, 2008
From Myanmar to Tibet, saffron-robed monks have been taking to the streets in protest against political repression. Paul Harrison, a professor of Buddhist studies at Stanford University, discusses Buddhist teachings and the acceptable role of monks in politics. "Direct involvement in political activity, strictly speaking, is not sanctioned," he says. Although non-violence is a primary tenet of Buddhism, Harrison says there has been an emergence of militancy among the religion's followers since the beginning of the twentieth century. "To some extent," he says "this is a testimony to the situation in many Buddhist countries where previously things were not so bad in terms of political oppression." Therefore, members of the sangha, the Buddhist order, he says, feel obliged to take up the struggle to improve the situation of the people.
Harrison says from the nineteenth century on, the role of members of the sangha has been redefined as new forms of Buddhism began to emerge. While some believe it is the proper duty of the members of the order to engage in social activity in order to improve the lot of the people, he says, others hold on to the traditional idea of strict abstinence from such activities. One of the major challenges faced by religion going forward, he says, will be the status of the Buddhist order in society. Previously, he says, the religion had great prestige as well as a lot of resources, but that is "no longer to be assumed."

I know I must sound too picky, but though I love roses and I WANT to love miniatures (my husband loves them!), I absolutely CAN'T STAND it when they open and show tan/brown stamens or get quilled (pointy). :0(
Once, awhile back, someone suggested I look into Ralph Moore's minis, as they often looked more full, like English roses, which we have and we love. The only mini we have is Fancy Pants, but once again, I hate the look of the stamens showing, and I end up deadheading them almost immediately. It almost looks to me like Japanese Beetles are inside the blooms, even when they aren't! Just looks kind of dirty to me. Maybe I'm weird.
Follow-Up Postings:
Gingerbread Man and Baby Austin. You'll have to check on the hardiness in your area. Eventually they all open fully and show stamens, I don't know of one that doesn't. Even if you like the miniature flowers, Polyanthas anso eventually open up wide and show stamens. |
I completely understand. I've never been crazy about the stamens showing either. I've gotten rid of some really popular minis because I didn't like the pointy petals when the bloom opened all the way. Here's a few that you might like. You can barely see the stamens on PINK POODLE but not like some of the minis. BABY GRAND LAVENDER CRYSTAL I don't have a picture, but another one I added this year is MARRIOTTA. Laurie |
Here is a link that might be useful: Marriotta
Diane and Laurie, Thank you both so much for your help! I just ordered a Sequoia catalog and am excited to see what they have. Husband wants to plant a bed of minis. :0) Phyl |
I can identify with your preferences (although I have some roses that I wouldn't part with that have Stamens/quills). However one of my favorite minis, Rainbows End, will fill the bill on both counts. It's on about everyones list as a great mini. Also may I suggest that you include the catalog from Nor' East and Bridges for drooling over. |
Laurie, I meant to tell you how beautiful your photos were....I especially love Pink Poodle. Looks like a dahlia! Maryl, I looked up Rainbow's End on helpmefind....gorgeous! Thanks all! Phyl |
Hey Phyl! I have a little mini called "Green Ice" and it shows a bit of very green stamen later on in it's maturity, but it's sort of Austin-like in it's form. I don't have any pictures of mine but here's the HMF link to it. How have you been?? Ginni |
Here is a link that might be useful: Green Ice at Help Me Find

One mini that hardy EVER shows its stamens is Kristin. It is a red and white bi-color and has good form that holds and holds. |
Baby Grand is my favorite miniature. Next is Denver's Dream which ages well as well... Vineyard song stays sweet looking. Twister always looks great... |
who can see stamens? Stay away from Singles if you don't like stamens! Me, I just nip them off when I don't like them anymore (wish I could do it with some people. But deadheading is not acceptable behavior outside the patio containers.) |

The Webster Bible (WBT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 O LORD, thou [art] my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful [things]; [thy] counsels of old [are] faithfulness [and] truth. | 1 O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago. |
2 For thou hast made of a city a heap; [of] a fortified city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. | 2 You have made the city a heap of rubble, the fortified town a ruin, the foreigners' stronghold a city no more; it will never be rebuilt. |
3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee. | 3 Therefore strong peoples will honor you; cities of ruthless nations will revere you. |
4 For thou hast been a defense to the poor, a defense to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall. | 4 You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm driving against a wall |
5 Thou wilt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; [even] the heat with the shade of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low. | 5 and like the heat of the desert. You silence the uproar of foreigners; as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless is stilled. |
6 And on this mountain will the LORD of hosts make to all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. | 6 On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine-- the best of meats and the finest of wines. |
7 And he will destroy on this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail [that is] spread over all nations. | 7 On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; |
8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people will he remove from all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken [it]. | 8 he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth. The LORD has spoken. |
9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this [is] our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD, we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. | 9 In that day they will say, "Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation." |
10 For on this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill. | 10 The hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain; but Moab will be trampled under him as straw is trampled down in the manure. |
11 And he will spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth [his hands] to swim: and he will bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands. | 11 They will spread out their hands in it, as a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim. God will bring down their pride despite the cleverness of their hands. |
12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls will he bring down, lay low, [and] bring to the ground, [even] to the dust. | 12 He will bring down your high fortified walls and lay them low; he will bring them down to the ground, to the very dust. |

Linux 3.3 Released
Changes in the new Linux 3.3 release include the merge of kernel code from the Android project.
Linus Torvalds has released Linux 3.3. According to the release summary at kernelnewbies.org, the most important change is the merge of kernel code from the Android project.
The website states, "For a long time, code from the Android project has not been merged back to the Linux repositories due to disagreement between developers from both projects. Fortunately, after several years the differences are being ironed out. Various Android subsystems and features have already been merged, and more will follow in the future. This will make things easier for everybody, including the Android mod community, or Linux distributions that want to support Android programs."
Other changes include support for a new architecture (TI C6X), improved balancing, and the ability to restripe between different RAID profiles in Btrfs. Network improvements include: a virtual switch implementation (Open vSwitch) designed for virtualization scenarios, a faster and more scalable alternative to the "bonding" driver, a configurable limit to the transmission queue of the network devices to fight bufferbloat, and a network priority control group and per-cgroup TCP buffer limits. Many small features and new drivers and fixes are also available.
For more details, go to: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.3 or read the official announcement from Linus Torvalds.

Much as we car enthusiasts like to whine about being underappreciated and underserved by profit-driven automakers, there are a ton of really good sports cars to choose from these days. That's good for enthusiasts but might be a problem for the Audi TTS.
Considered on its own, the TTS is a well-balanced, refined performance car. It's quick in a straight line and dispenses with corners easily. It has all the expected Audi go-fast hardware, including a turbocharged four-cylinder, a dual-clutch transmission, and a lowered suspension. The TTS even has an R8-like spoiler that rises up at speed. What else could you possibly want?
It's only when you start thinking about all the other wonderful sports cars on offer the TTS becomes less appealing. There's the Mazda RX-8, which handles better and costs $20,000 less. There's a Porsche Cayman, which costs $5000 more and does everything better (except seat four passengers). There's even the Audi S4, which costs about the same and has more power and more practicality, albeit in a slightly less sexy wrapper. Compared with these and other purebreds, the TTS still feels like just a very good TT. That's not a bad thing to be, but if Audi really wants to win in this segment, it should think about scaling down its most expensive model (the R8) rather than dressing up one of its cheapest. Judging by the second E-tron concept we saw at Detroit, this may indeed happen.

I have a challenge with dirt particles on large flat production surfaces. Although the industry has specification for an acceptable amount of dirt particles in a finish (usually 1-2). I can not seem to get an acceptable finish. I am using a Catalyzed Lacquer, I have been sanding the entire surface just to repair a few imperfections. I am using a semi gloss sheen. Buffing, to date has been out of the question since it typiclly increase sheen levels. My question is, is there a way to do spot repairs on CL successfully? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you think that you should look into why your geting the dust / dirt ? What is your spray room like ? Do you clean it often ? Do you have "dust bunnies" hanging from the ceiling of your spray room. What about the type of ventilation ? Is the fan strong enough to suck out the dust in the air ? Are you using an air hose to blow the dust off prior to each coat of finish ? ( Assuming that your cutting between coats) Can you do a "spot" repair ? Do you mean after your all finished and it's no longer in your shop ? I would work on why your getting the dust and try to eliminate it from the start.Then ya don't have to worry about touch ups. |

Our Roles
part of a multi-disciplinary team at
Student Health Records:
Forms are sent home with schedules at the beginning of every school year and
must be returned to the school. The school nurse verifies all forms. The nurse
then identifies students with health conditions. After interviewing those
students the nurse creates an emergency list identifying each student and the
ideal emergency health care for that student and relays the information to the
teaching staff.
Every year the Level 3 students are offered free BOOSTRIX (diphtheria, tetanus, Pertussis) vaccinations at school. The forms are completed in class by the student (age of consent is 14 years old in Quebec) and sent home for those students under the age of 14. The vaccination takes place at school and the dates are printed in the agenda. This is the recommended population (14-16) for the booster dTap vaccine. The vaccine is safe. For more information please contact 811 info-santé.
For girls only:
From 2009 to 2013 the Gardasil vaccine (Human
Papilloma Virus) will be offered to all level 3 female students. The above

To empower students with the information, resources, knowledge and skills to protect themselves should they ever be in such a situation.
White Tigers' Annual Girl Conference
Every year a select group of
students are chosen to participate in a field trip promoting healthy dating
relationships. The students attend a conference organized by White Tiger: an
organization dedicated to offering personal safety and assault prevention
programs to schools. The conference features exciting workshops and motivational
speakers addressing topics such as healthy bodies and healthy minds,
acquaintance rape, date rape drugs, party safety and relationship safety. The
goal of the conference is for the students to return to school and share their
experience with their peers in an attempt to promote healthy relationships and
to sensitize their peers to dating violence.
The conference always takes place on December 6th because it is the National Day
of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada established in
1991 by the Parliament of Canada. This coincides with the sad anniversary of the
death of 14 women who were tragically killed on December 6, 1989 at the École
Polytechnique in Montreal. Beyond commemorating the loss of these fourteen young
lives, this day represents a time to pause and reflect on the phenomena of
violence against women in our society.
LaSalle Community Comprehensive High School Level 4 and 5 female students have
participated in this conference since its conception and have found the
workshops informative, educational and empowering.
Youth Theatre
Every year LaSalle Community Comprehensive High School invites Youtheatre to our school. Youtheatre is one of Montreal's oldest professional English language theatre groups. They have been touring schools and community centers for more than thirty years, presenting to about 35,000 students a year. Youtheatre is committed to offering world class productions on new plays that are written by Canadian playwrights. Most importantly, Youtheatre offers a provocative and intelligent way of reaching their audiences through socially relevant subject matter. LaSalle Community Comprehensive High School, in partnership with Le Centre de Santé et de Services Sociaux de LaSalle et du Vieux Lachine, is committed to bringing educational theatre to our student population.
List of Plays over the years:
MARCH 2008 - Cranked, by Michael
P. Northey
For Level 4 and 5 students.
Part of our Drug Awareness Program.
The Play examines the rising
epidemic of crystal methamphetamine use by teens. Using unspoken words and Hip
Hop, Playwright Michael P. Northey and Green Thumb Theatre offer a dramatic
exploration of addiction and the drug culture.
MARCH 2007 - The Glass House, by
Andreas Garfied
For Level 4 and 5 students.
Part of our Moral Education Program.
The play deals with the
consequences of youth violence, aggression, human rights, ethics, and media
responsibility. The Glass House is a tough, yet moving, story which poses some
major questions about the root of violence and the meaning of penance, atonement
and forgiveness.
MARCH 2006 – Smokescreen, by David
S. Craig.
For Level 3 students.
Part of our Drug Awareness Program.
Smokescreen examines marijuana use
amongst young people from the perspectives of a sixteen year old user, his
concerned father and the young female Social Worker who is assigned by the
courts to get the family back on track. This intelligent and often humorous
production encourages its audience to take part in this contemporary debate: HOW
APRIL 2011- 2005-2000-1996 - Bang Boy
Bang -, written by award winning Canadian Playwright Ed. Roy.
For Level 4 students.
Part of the Date rape/violence in relationship program.
Multi media one-man show for his
honest exploration of the causes of violence in relationships
Interactive discussion after the play.
Youtheatre provides a study guide for teachers.
APRIL 2004- The Other Side of the
Closet – by Ed Roy.
For Level 4 students.
This play tackles the issues of homophobia and anti gay hostility that are present in our schools and society. The show reflects the realities of stories and testimonials from gay and lesbian teenagers who have experienced discrimination, harassment abuse and hate motivated violence in our schools because of their sexual orientation.
Theatre is an excellent vehicle for dealing with sensitive issues because it provides a safe zone in which to focus discussions, while protecting individuals who may be experiencing these very realities in their own life.
After the play the students had a
workshop on homosexuality. The Allies Program was invited to our school to lead
the discussion. The Allies Program is an initiative of Queer McGill and project
10 in collaboration with Project Interaction. It is a youth based and run
program. The goal of the program is to sensitize our students to gay youth and
to help create a safer space for our youth in schools and neighbourhoods.
MARCH 2002- Idiot – by Marion de
For Level 4 students.
The play Idiot is an honest look at teen sexuality, substance abuse, and suicide. During a fifty minute monologue, a young woman tells us the story of her life, an on going struggle with peer pressure, guilt, and low self esteem. The young woman finds the strength to triumph over insurmountable odds, on a harrowing journey from despair to the acceptance of her own true self.
A study guide was used as a starting point for discussion and to encourage students to get the most of their theatre experience.
The students were introduced to
the issues of low self esteem, depression and suicide before they viewed the
production. A post show discussion followed after the production in order to
enhance the students complete understanding of the subjects involved.
Level 3 - YouthNet Program (offered yearly)
LaSalle Community Comprehensive High School, in partnership with Centre de Santé et de Services Sociaux de LaSalle et du Vieux Lachine, has welcomed Youth Net into our school for the past four years.
Youth Net Montreal is a youth run initiative dedicated to improving the mental health and well being of youth in the City of Montreal.
Their core program involves older youth led discussion groups for younger
youth about adolescent mental health and wellness. Youth Net has a team of
trained facilitators (age 20-30) who lead open ended discussions about mental
health and well being. Youth Net Montreal creates a space for young people to
discuss mental health issues. Through Youth Net links are being established
between youth and mental health professionals using youth friendly and community
based programs.
- Focus group – one session which is 1.5 hours with generally 8-12 participants.
- Clinical back up at school – Shari Isenberg – Social Service Practitioner.

It's a good time to be a Sonic fan. The original Sonic the Hedgehog was first ported over to iOS in 2009 by SEGA. The game is an undeniable classic, but the port suffered from janky controls and a terrible framerate. Thankfully, an update released today–that we detailed back in March–fixes what ailed the classic platformer. This is no iterative update. This is a massive, from-the-ground-up rebuilding of the game.
The improvements come thanks to Christian Whitehead, a developer SEGA originally hired to port Sonic CD to iOS. He created a near-perfect touchscreen version of that game (just read our glowing review), so SEGA asked him to give the same treatment to the original Sonic the Hedgehog. Best of all, the re-vamped version of the game has been released as an update to the 2009 original, rather than as an entirely new app. That's some fine fan service.
The results are just as fantastic as anyone could have hoped. The game still sports its classic 16-bit graphics, but now it runs with silky smoothness, with controls so tight you might not even miss the chunky Genesis controller. The controls (which have been reduced to a directional stick and a jump button) are customizable in terms of size and transparency. I moved and shrunk them when I played on an iPad, but you may not need to adjust anything.
They've even added several extras that go beyond the original game. Tails and Knuckles can now be unlocked as playable characters, and a time trial mode has been added. It all amounts to a terrific, definitive version of the game on iOS. It may have taken four years to deliver, but it was worth the wait.
This review was originally posted May 26, 2009. It was updated by Chris Reed May 16, 2013.
When most people think of Sonic the Hedgehog, one word comes immediately to mind: Speed. That's why it's so disappointing that Sonic's iPhone debut is marred with frequent speed bumps. Framerate slowdowns consistently drag down the momentum of this fast-paced platformer. Sega should move quickly to fix this problem and a few others to fully optimize Sonic the Hedgehog for iPhone.
This brings back fond memories.
In this iPhone port of the very first Sonic game, you play as a brisk blue mammal who cuts a swath through seven multilayered stages to free his animal pals from a villain named Dr. Robotnik. When it first appeared on the Sega Genesis in 1991, Sonic the Hedgehog was famous for displaying detailed environments at a breakneck rate without ever slowing down. While the environments still look great, this iPhone version suffers from persistent slowdown.
The framerate isn't the only problem with this port. As an emulated version of the Genesis game, Sonic doesn't control naturally on the iPhone. You only have one option for the controls'"a virtual D-pad and one jump button'"and we would have liked to see Sega experiment with some different control schemes for Sonic. For example, we'd love to try controlling Sonic by tilting the iPhone.
The virtual D-pad is far from perfect, and Sonic seems much more likely to fall off cliffs or into lava without the precision of a real controller. Sonic also slides around a bit when he moves, and you'll have to compensate by being very careful with the touchy D-pad. Gamers who know the original Sonic controls by feel will have to be patient with the iPhone's new touch controls.
The uneven framerate and imprecise touch controls are unwelcome additions that can make the game much tougher. It's easy to die quickly, and like in the original, when you lose all of your lives you'll go right back to the beginning of Stage 1-1. While this is a holdover from the original Sonic, it doesn't belong in a current mobile game. You can't even use the original game's stage select code to skip ahead.
Party like it's 1991!
Because of the framerate and controls, you'll probably have to replay the first few levels over and over again, attempting each time to make a little more progress. Players should at least have the option to restart from the beginning of the last world when they lose all their lives. Just because the original Sonic was meant to be played in one long stretch doesn't mean it works well for the iPhone.
Sad to say for Sonic fans, but this iPhone port feels hastily thrown together. Sonic games deserve the royal treatment on iPhone, and that means a consistently fast framerate, natural-feeling controls and more options to ease the difficulty of playing on a portable system. Sonic the Hedgehog's classic graphics and music will bring you back to the front lines of the 16-bit console war, but this iPhone version doesn't play as well as it should. We can't recommend paying $5.99 until Sega perfects this port.

Here we are at the launch of a new story! Nnewts is a story I've been working on for over 15 years. I never thought it would be ready to tell, so I plunked away it in the borders of my sketchbooks until some day when I was much older, I'd roll it out proper. That didn't happen.
Instead, my buddy Ethan Nicolle and I were talking about comics over a pint and a pipe (as usual) when I told him I was thinking about doing a webcomic. He said, "You should do that NEWTS project as a webcomic." I sat there thinking of all the reasons why I couldn't do it, no room in my schedule being the biggest reason. Then he said, "You could do a page a week, no problem." In 15 seconds he took away every excuse I had not to make this comic. It all made sense to me.
My next step was to coerce my colorist to work on it. "Kath, I don't want to make this without you, but I wouldn't feel right about asking this favor." She sent me colored pages and said, "I'd love to work on this."
I guess this all a pre-emptive argument for why you can't get mad that it's one page a week. Believe me, I hate the idea of a one page a week comic. My first thought is, "Call me in a year so I can read the first act!" For whatever reason we don't like the schedule, this comic couldn't be made at all without it. I can make one page a week or nothing. Surely one page a week is at least a molecule better than nothing.
This is when I beg you to spread the word about Nnewts. Review it, complain about it, tweet it, but nobody is going to find out about it unless you help me spread the word.
Your pal,
Doug TenNapel

I was looking in my freezer and on the very bottom was a whole beef tenderloin that has been in there since March, 2007. I cleaned out both freezers last August but I guess I didn't do a very good job.
It is in a vacuum sealed package. Do you think it would still be good? |
Follow-Up Postings:
In a vacuum sealed package, it should be fine. You can usually tell if the meat is freezer burned (funny smell, changes in color). That's usually the only reason I throw it away (well, I give it to the cats). I find the fattier the meat, like pork, the quicker it gets freezer burned. I just discovered some venison from 1999. (Talk about not doing a good job cleaning out the freezer!) DH made stock out of it, but the meat still tasted great. |
It keeps forever......but may lose quality, depending on how well it was packaged. Vecuum sealed in cryovac I am sure it will be fine. However I might think about preparing a sauce to serve with it...just incase it has lost a bit of moisture. Think bernaise or a creamy roquefort or perhaps Alexa's Steakside mushrooms. Linda c |
Absolutely, it's safe to eat. As Linda says, it might be a bit compromised in texture, although I doubt it. Being prepared with a sauce certainly can't hurt,though. Annie |

Trixie I agree with the others that it will be just fine. I just wish that I would find a lost beef tenderloin in my freezer!:) Lucky you! |

I'm glad you posted - I had pretty much the same question. I found some venison in the freezer that is probably 2 years old. (Unfortunately it is not vacuum sealed). Also found some ground deer meat, probably approaching 3 years old. All still safe to eat? I'm sure the quality has decreased, but might still make a good chili. Thanks! |
If it's not been sitting around at 40 degrees, it's safe to eat. Linda C |
I agree with Linda C, if it's been frozen the entire time, it's safe to eat. It might not be GOOD to eat, if it's been sitting long enough, but safety is not an issue, only quality. Annie |
It is cryovaced. I thought it would be alright and it looks alright but wanted to make sure. Thank you for your replies! |

We raised meat chickens almost three years ago and still have some in the freezer. We vacuum-packed them and there is absolutely no freezer-burn and they taste completely fresh. |
Trixie, if you are thinking of serving with a sauce as suggested above, you might like this recipe. One of my favourites to serve at a dinner party. Beef Burgundy/Bourginon. 2 to 3 pound beef tenderloin Make a sauce using: |
I buy freezer beef a half at a time. With only 2-3 of us here, we have it, usually, 2 years. If it is vacuum packed, and that's the only way I will get it packaged, I have beef that tastes as fresh as the day we brought it home from the butcher. As long as the vacuum seal is still intact, it probably hasn't freezer burnt. In fact, I have found some dated 3 years before and it was fine. Tami |

The View From Here
Trailer unveiled for James Brown biopic, Get On Up
I was reading over the weekend about Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese's latest collaboration - a project for HBO about the music industry in New York during the Seventies.
Apparently, Scorsese will direct the pilot, which is being written by Terence Winter, a regular on The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire and Scorsese's recent The Wolf Of Wall Street. It all sounds promising - as long as you don't go on about Boardwalk Empire too much, I guess.
By coincidence, the first trailer has been released today for Get On Up, another Jagger production and, as if you didn't already know, the biopic of James Brown. Rock biopics, of course, are legendarily inconsistent in terms of delivering quality: for every 24 Hour Party People or Control there's a Ray and Walk The Line. On the strength of this trailer, at least, Get On Up appears to be pretty conventional soup to nuts fare but with added gunplay.
Anyway, you can watch it below. Let me know what you think.

A boss has to be open and above-board with employees. He or she also should have clear expectations so people know how to present ideas and projects that will meet the company's needs and the boss's expectations.
If there are layoff or salary cut rumors, a boss needs to address these truthfully, and as soon as possible, even if it's just to say, "I haven't heard anything, but when I do, I will let you know." This tells the employees the boss is at least listening to their concerns. A boss always needs to keep in mind that his or her employees are human beings with lives and families, and may depend on that job to feed their families. Remember that, and acting accordingly, will go a long way toward building up respect in the office.

Nocturnal Solitude
'Mercy Unto The Blood' by Nocturnal Solitude

Seeking Forgiveness just to be denied
» go to the music page for more
Nocturnal Solitude is a new breed of Nostalgic, Dark Ambient, Gothic, Classical, Funeral / Death Doom Metal that, strangely enough, with the sound of the damned, eases peoples negative behavior.
Why this name?
I chose the name because not only does it go with the sound of the music, i spend alot of my time in solitude at night to clear my thought. Thus, coming up with nocturnal solitude.
Do you play live?
No I don't.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It opens people's eyes to different types of Metal and the impact that certain music or songs have on people makes a big difference. -Thomas-
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Hell no. For the simple fact is I believe in staying underground instead of being controlled by a major label. A major label, I believe, ruins you Mentally. You tend to lose yourself.
Band History:
Nocturnal Solitude was formed and founded on September 23 of 2007 by Thomas Thompson. With his love for Gothic / Funeral / Death Doom never ceasing, he wanted to pursue his musical attributes. In 1996, he had formed a Goth Rock band called Eternal Rest. Things went down hill and went sour fast. He ended up kicking quite a few members out for drug use. He ended up calling it quits, but he still wanted to do music, but at the same time wanted to find people who were and are reliable. The search was hopeless, and he gave up. Then in 2007, he had the idea of doing music by himself, but had no idea how to go about doing it. So he got help from a few friends and he ended up forming the project called, as you know, the Gothic, Funeral, Death Doom band Nocturnal Solitude. Thomas combines everything from pain and suffering, a lost soul trying to find himself, murder, suicide, vampiric hell, the heart ache that one goes through, the love for the darkness that We all let envelope us from time to time, if not all the time, and torment that come from his feelings and experiences. Which makes this new breed of Gothic, Melodic, Funeral, Death Doom, with a Vampire's twist... music. His influences include Goth and Doom genres, death, walking amongst shadows, and the mysterious wonders of the darkness. Some have said it is a tragedy in the making, while the others have said it is darkness reincarnating itself all over again, but really it is open for interpertation. All songs are written and played by Thomas Thompson.
Your influences?
Gothic Metal, Funeral Doom, Dark Ambient, Dark Soundscapes, Black Metal
Favorite spot?
Seattle, WA.
Equipment used:
Peavy, B.C. Rich, ibanez guitars and bass.
Korg keyboards.
Korg keyboards.
Anything else...?
Yeah. I do everything for this project. At times it tends to get on my nerves,
because I always want to rush and get the product done so I can hear how it sounds. hehe
