"I always thought I'd be playing professional baseball," said Ryan Anderson, whose career was ended by injuries and who now is a culinary school student.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Ryan Anderson still has his dreams.
They are just different dreams now, which he nurtures at the Scottsdale Culinary Institute. Dreams of owning a string of steak restaurants, designing innovative menus and overseeing the hustle and bustle of a thriving kitchen as executive chef.
At age 26, Anderson has finally stopped waiting for the vitality to return to his once-magical left arm, the arm that the Mariners fully expected to make him their ace of the 21st century.
Instead, during an agonizing four-year ordeal, Anderson descended from the top pitching prospect in the major leagues to a guy kicking around the lowest levels of the minor leagues, hoping against hope for his shoulder pain to go away.
The Mariners thought they had the next Randy Johnson when they drafted Anderson in June 1997. And Anderson, a hard-throwing 6-foot-10 lefty like his idol Johnson, was happy to fuel the comparisons.
He told reporters at his introductory Kingdome news conference, "I feel I'll be the best-known pitcher in baseball when I'm done." He believed it, and — not so openly but just as fervently — so did the Mariners.
That was three shoulder surgeries and more than a thousand days of rehab ago. That was the old Ryan Anderson, the blustery and ultra-confident "Little Unit."
He made veteran M's players like Ken Griffey Jr. and Jay Buhner shake their heads at his audacity when he bragged, after his first stint throwing batting practice in spring training of 1998, how he "dominated" Seattle's star-studded lineup. His quotes were highlighted and displayed all over the Peoria, Ariz., clubhouse.
"I threw 60 balls and one was put in play by A-Rod," he said. "I was like, 'Shoot, they don't have a chance.' I didn't prove anything right there. That was their first time seeing live pitching. I expressed myself the wrong way."
The next day, when Anderson arrived at the Peoria training complex, trainer Rick Griffin warned him to be ready. Griffey and friends were on the warpath.
"Every day I came in," Anderson recalled, "Griffey was sitting there in the front, with his hat backward, just waiting for me to come through the door. 'Oh, The Dominator is here. The best pitcher ever.' I had to sit there. You can't say a word. Day in and day out.
"It's funny now, but it put me through misery. The cool thing is, David Segui came up to me after the first day and said, 'Hang in there. Everyone likes you ... but you did dominate us.' That made me feel so much better."
Anderson was stamped for stardom, a Baseball America golden boy. In November 1997, Mariners minor-league pitching coordinator Ron Romanick said matter-of-factly, "He may already have the best stuff in baseball ... I mean, anywhere in baseball. Right up there with Randy and Roger Clemens, the best of them."
Amazingly, Anderson seemed to be backing it all up as he sped up the minor-league ladder, dominating every step. That is, until his start for Tacoma against Calgary on July 16, 2000 — the date is seared in Anderson's brain — when he hit 99 mph on the gun, and struck out 13.
He woke up the next morning thinking he had slept on his arm wrong.
"I couldn't even throw," he said.
Anderson didn't know it yet, but that was the end of the major-league portion of his dream. His arm, the source of so many Mariners fantasies (and trade offers they refused to entertain), would never be the same again. The Mariners finally released him in April 2005. He never pitched in a major-league game for them, or for anyone else.
Now Anderson watches former minor-league teammates like Gil Meche and Joel Pineiro achieve major-league success — and major-league paydays — and can't help but wonder what might have been.
"I was supposedly better than them — quote unquote, better than them," he said wistfully. "I mean, I know I was, but I didn't pan out to be."
His arm would tease him with pain-free stretches, most recently last summer for the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers took a flier after the Mariners released him, and assigned him to their lowest farm team, in Brevard County, Fla. But the pain always came back, and finally, last September, Anderson told the Brewers he had reached the end of the line.
His uniform now is the loose white smock and chef's headgear of the Scottsdale Culinary Institute. Since April 3, Anderson has been immersed in the 27-month bachelor's program he hopes will launch him into the sort of entrepreneurial stardom that eluded him on the diamond.
"I'm still a rookie, still a freshman," he said, smiling. "I like the pressure. You have to get things done in a certain amount of time. You have to be able to multi-task. I like that. I don't like to do one thing, the monotony of it. I like the variety of this ... and I love food."
Sitting in a conference room at the institute's bustling Camelback campus, where the oppressive 114-degree heat hardly slows down the 1,100 would-be chefs and restaurateurs, Anderson seems genuinely excited about his new life.
"I never thought I'd be in the culinary route," he said. "I always thought I'd be playing professional baseball."
In the deep recesses of his mind, Anderson still allows himself to dream that old baseball dream.
"I told my parents when I decided to retire that after I graduate, I'll give it a try again," he said. "It [retirement] ain't final."
He can't quite let baseball go, because Anderson knows how close — how excruciatingly, maddeningly close — he came to backing up every one of his boasts.
He'll always have the Phillies exhibition game to remind him. The memory is vivid, etched forever in his brain as if a permanent video loop is running. Last week, when he recounted that outing, which was played at Safeco Field on the Sunday before the season opener in 2000, tears welled up in his eyes and his voice cracked. He apologized.
"When I came out from the bullpen in relief, and everyone stood up, it was emotional for me," he said. "It brought tears."
It still does. Anderson was brilliant, seemingly justifying every rave, backing every boast. Scott Rolen went down on a 95 mph fastball. Mike Lieberthal was frozen by a 90 mph slider on the corner. In four innings, Anderson allowed no runs and two hits, fanning six. It was domination, and the Phillies seemed in awe of this towering kid.
In his mind, that game remains his validation, his measuring stick of what could have been. It makes him ache, sure, but it simultaneously soothes the pain of never making it to The Show.
"If I didn't get that exhibition game, I would say the regret would be more," he said.
There had been much speculation that spring that the Mariners would put Anderson in their 2000 rotation, but Seattle brass decided he needed more seasoning at Class AAA.
Anderson said he wasn't particularly upset. After all, he was just 20 years old. He had time, plenty of it.
"I thought I had my whole career in front of me," he said. "Way in front of me."
But then came July, and the ailing shoulder, followed by surgeries in 2001 and 2002 and 2003, and the endless rehabs and constant disappointment. The word in the Mariners organization was that, at least initially, Anderson didn't work hard enough on his recovery.
"My first year, yes, I was very lazy," he acknowledged. "I took things for granted. Everything I did in sports, academically, I was always in the top of my class. After surgery, I'm like, 'It's going to come back. I'll just do the bare minimum.'
"Because that's what I've always done, and I've never had to try hard. I wish I could take that year back, let me say that."
Anderson believes that he slowly came to understand and embrace the dedication necessary for rehab. "By the third year, from that point on, I worked my butt off," he said.
Now he is working hard again, with visions of culinary success as the motivation.
"He really brings a sense of leadership to the classroom," said Jon-Paul Hutchins, executive chef at Scottsdale Culinary Institute. "He's an outstanding student."
For a while, during the lowest points of his rehab, Anderson couldn't even watch baseball. But now the twangs have declined. Oh, occasionally he'll see someone that he owned in the minors thriving in the majors, and he can't help but play the "what if" game.
"Not guys that I was better than ... guys that I could have been better than. That does hurt," he said.
But that was another life. He has a new one now.
"I want to start off with something small, and I want to get a few more restaurants," he said. "I don't want to just have that one. I want to succeed at that one, learn and expand."

Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
MSPMSR is a group of Twin Cities area residents and Miniature Schnauzer owners who volunteer to find dogs, surrendered for various reasons by their former owners, a forever home in the Mpls./St. Paul area.About Our Rescue Group:
We assure that the Miniature Schnauzers surrendered to us will never go to a shelter or be without a home again. All are spayed and neutered, veterinarian checked, up-to-date on shots, and given any medical treatments needed.Mpls./St. Paul Miniature Schnauzer Rescue mainly corresponds through e-mail and telephone calls. We meet at least twice a year to discuss fund raising and plan other activities we plan to do. We focus on providing owners a means to have their purebred Miniature Schnauzers placed by a reputable dog rescue group. The group has many organizational forms we use to make this process professional. We also educate the public on how to find a dog, responsible dog ownership, training issues. Irresponsible breeders, pet stores, and other sellers of dogs do not care where their dogs are being placed, resulting in overcrowded shelters. Going through a breed rescue group will stop this cycle of dogs being given way to "Just Anyone." MSPMSR.org takes responsibility for proper placement and what the breeders should have done to begin with.

Chances are by the time I press publish, the Toronto Blue Jays' inaugural game of the 2012 Major League Baseball season will be underway. I don't think I've been as excited at the start of a new baseball season since 1993, and no, that has nothing to do with Jayson Stark.
Rather I think the proximity to the Getting Blanked/Drunk Jays Fans crew over the off-season sparked a love for the game that I haven't felt since those halcyon days in the early nineties. And I'm not alone in being a soccer person who stares at baseball out of the corner of my eye now and again to wonder what might have been. The Footy Show gang, for example is in the middle of a road trip to Cleveland for Opening Day (KJ, if you don't know, is Atlanta Braves. Is them).
The curiosity and respect is mutual, in this statistically useless anecdote. Both Dustin Parkes and Andrew Stoeten know enough about Dutch football to guest post a Holland preview, while Drew Fairservice is inexplicably a Hammers fan. I don't have "numbers" or "empirical evidence" for this (boooorrrring), but it seems to me many soccer people maintain baseball as their primary "other sport."
Why is this is the anecdotal, possibly-not-at-all-true case?
Possibly because the two sports are about as far apart as they can possibly in the realm of professional athletics. They are opposites, and the one provides to the other everything it lacks. Let me count the ways.
Soccer involves two teams of eleven players each running around using their feet to kick a ball into a net. There is a field of play, and there are two sides—it's war, to unfairly paraphrase famed Dutch coach Rinus Michels. Like many sports—hockey, basketball, American football—it's built on a simple oppositional dichotomy.
It's also a fluid sport; despite the positional nomenclature, often defenders become wingers, and midfielders become strikers, and strikers become midfielders. Players can go wherever they like, do whatever they like with the ball outside of touching it. The rest is up to them. That openness is part of the reason why statistical information like pass completion percentages and the number of shots a player take are not all that revealing. An over-top-through ball and a square pass are two incredibly different things, though they're often measured the same way.
And then we have baseball. There is no battle for space, no invading opposition territory. It's a game of opportunity—get your players around the bases to score points before the third out, then switch. Positions are static—a shortstop will always be a shortstop—and the realm of possible play is sharply limited. Rather baseball is a series of atomistic elements, each requiring its own set of skills.
First there is the pitch—how fast? Inside or outside? Low or high? Within the strike zone? Curveball, slider, fastball? There is the hit—how many per-at-bat? How many runs batted in? Home runs? Single, doubles, and triples? There is the fielding forced outs, double plays, pop flies, run downs. Most the time, players stand around, waiting for the one moment when their role will be called into use. All of this is statistically measurable, and for the most part, unambiguous.
Because of the varied elements involves, there are no "boring" baseball games (unless of course you find the whole enterprise tedious). Low-scoring games are intricate pitching battles; high-scoring games are macho slug fests. If soccer is abstract impressionism, baseball is pointillism. The two sports provide two distinct points of attraction in the audience spectrum.
Obviously cricket falls into similar territory, but is too culturally close to association football. Soccer is a European winter sport by play the most fit athletes in the world, baseball is an American summer sport played by…athletes. Yin and yang. So in case either begins to get on your nerves, there the other will be waiting.

It's Not Just A Money Issue When Moving With Pets…
I wanted to make a bit of a correction. Actually, there was no mistake made; it was merely implied. In the last post I made about housing, I inadvertently implied that folks don't retain their pets because they can't afford modest accommodations that allow pets to be included in the family mix. The epidemic of dumping off a pet when one moves isn't isolated to hardship. Of course, hardship is relative, but that is a discussion for another day. How many times have I blogged about folks who dump a dog at the pound because they are moving to a Luxury Loft or high rise condo and the transition "would not be fair to the dog" or "they want to travel." Far too many to count.
When looking for a rental situation, even if it is high end, always call and ask what their pet policy is. Occasionally, the policy is loosened for individuals who have demonstrated prior goodwill with landlords, but at commercially owner apartment buildings the flexibility is typically nil. Call until you find a short list of properties that accept your pet and make appointments to see those, rather than letting yourself fall in love with a place and creating a false "hardship" situation.
(By the way, there is an Apartment Market Overview put out by the census department that includes median prices for apartment and condo rental units, in case you are interested.)

With my last California Wine Country wedding wrapped up just a few weeks ago, I find myself starting to look at what an incredible journey this year has been. Alyssa and I moved closer to Denver and Fort Collins, a long time goal of ours. We decided to intentionally slow down and just take on a few weddings this year because of the biggest news we have had yet…the arrival of Carter Thomas Stebner this summer. So with our abbreviated year in the books, we are now able to take a look back at what an amazing year it has been and look forward to what is already shaping up to be an incredible 2013 wedding with shoots lined up from California to North Carolina, and everywhere in-between. We cannot wait for another year filled with wedding art.
Art is truly the expression of one's soul. In a photographer's case, it's the heart breaking free with something to say in the opening and closing of a shutter in thousands of a second. I've not only seen how my art has grown this year, but also how I have grown. It gives me a glimpse into where I'm going and who I want to become. With a new family, I've been desperately trying to remove distractions in life and just focus on the simplicity that drives my soul. That is, to remove anything that's not from God..anything that takes away from my family and His will. This is true in my art, and no doubt why you see more black and white images focusing on the relationships between light and shadow, emotion and the moment. As I have been desperately seeking to remove clutter from my life and heart, I find myself seeking minimalism that much more. Minimalism and simplicity isn't boring and it sure isn't easy. Simplicity is timeless. Simplicity is beautiful. After all, love is simple. It's the unwavering, all-giving expression that comes from the depth of who you are. We know when we are in love…there's no wavering or second guessing. It's simple nature resonates with us and changes the course of our lives. I think that is what is going to drive me towards simplicity that much more. I will still be using my off camera lighting techniques, I'll never give that up, so don't worry But above all else, this is just a confession to everyone that I am just yearning for the simple life…my heart desires only what matters and nothing else. I want my wedding art to focus only on what matters: the story, the love, the beauty, the emotion…the people.
These are a few favorites. These are not a "best of". These images are simply ones that made me smile a little more at night and when I woke up in the morning.
Thank you to all of our brides who trusted us with your most important and beautiful day. We were so blessed by our experiences at each one of your weddings. Words cannot express how thankful we are for your trust and inspiration.
Scott & Alyssa
Thank you Steve Stanton and Amanda Forbes for letting me second shoot for you this year. Image #5 and #13 were while photographing with Steve Stanton. Image #10, #11, and#17 were while second shooting for Amanda Forbes.

I originally posted this in the "pests" forum but had no replies, so I'll try here since it's really a regional question.
I am planning on putting blueberries in my garden (already bought the bushes, just not planted yet). It suddenly occurred to me that I live in NWNJ, bear country. After I bought the bushes I think of this. Do I need to worry about bears and my blueberries, or are they as much of an attraction as anything else in my garden? On my part of the street the bears aren't in your face, but they are around as evidenced by their scat and pawprints. They are more active about .25 mile down the road where there are farms with livestock. Will the berries be an extra draw to my garden? Or am I worrying for nothing (other than the usual bear worries?) I realize no one can give me 100% accurate info as to what would happen in my garden, but any anecdotal info would be welcome. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Piehart, I have blueberries and bears on occasion, but the bears have never got into the blueberries. The have got into my birdfeeders but never my garbage, recycling or the cans of bird food. I can tell from the damage done to the fence, that they have often just gone right through my property ignoring all the pleasures available to them here. Now that I have jinxed myself, I'm sure I'll wake up tomorrow a.m. and the garbage will be spread all over creation. I do have to admit, however, that I don't see bear evidence as you seem to see it, i.e., scat and footprints. |
njtea, thanks for the reassurance! If you live in my part of the state you know that there are a lot of bears per square mile. I forget the figure, but it was high. We haven't had bear damage in our yard yet(in this house 18 months) but neighbors have had birdfeeders destroyed---and they were twenty feet off the ground. I'm not sure how the bears did it, probably shook the rope at the cleat until the feeders fell. We do live near the deer trails that go to the stream. Lots of wildlife traffic! I'm going to cross my fingers, but I'm a natural worrier when it comes to dealing with bears. I crossed paths with a mamma and her cubs one time when hiking alone, out of cell phone range. Nothing happened, but you don't realize just how big they are until you are just a few feet away! |

For what it's worth, my uncle keeps bees in bear country - with a high voltage, low amp fence around the hives. It's only about three feet high and it works. They can tell it's worked when there is a fresh pile of scat right outside the fence in the morning. So if you do have a problem and are determined to have blueberries this might work for you. |
That might keep the deer out as well. |
Hmm, I'd never thought about it till I read this post. I may have a similar problem. I live in Hewitt NJ, big time bear country. I've watched them waddle across my patio up to my sliding glass doors more that a few times, (and it still scares the bajesus out of me). I also planted blueberry bushes, 2 of them, this spring. I am not so much worried about the bushes attracting bears (since they're already frequent visitors) but wondering if I'll get any blueberries out of them. I guess only time will tell. |

I fly from SUX to ORD on Ameircan Airlines and the rest of the flight via Air India. - Can the bags be through checked in in SUX to Blr? - Do I have to take the bags out in ORD and then recheck it in in ORD? Quick response is greatly appreciated.. Thanks, SKSKMon, Nov 18
Coming from Bos, connect to Korean AirlinesOct 22, 20132Leaving Jan 7, 2014. From Bos via AA, arrive at ORD at 10:20am. Depart Korean Air at 11:40am, 1hr 20min layover. Term 3(AA) to Term5(KA). Will I have enough time to make connection? Will I have to go though TSA Securtiy check again? How about Customs. Should I contact AA and get earlier flight to Chicago O'Hare. No international flight experience since USAF back in the late 60's. Limited domestic experience since then. Any and all recommendations or insights appreciated.JKM49.usFri, Oct 18After arrival at ORD's Terminal 3, you need to take the ATS shuttle train (follow signs), which runs every few minutes - but in the unsecured areas of the terminals. At T5, you will need to go through security check before proceeding to your M gate: Concourse M has gates M1-21 which wrap around the concessions Court - to the left (gates M12-M21) and to the right (gates M7-M1), and extends northward in the center to gates M8-M11. If you purchased tickets for AA & KA separately, you would need to take the bags to T5 & check them in there, as those two airlines don't belong to the same Alliance. You should be able to make your transfer on time.saoct13Sat, Oct 19That is a very tight connection. If you have to claim bags, It will take you at least half an hour to claim your bags and get to T5, in which time you will be past the bag check cutoff time for your Korean flight. If you booked these tickets on separate tickets, you absolutely need to change your flight from Boston to an earlier flight.ZAPTue, Oct 22

The only way to really get an answer is on a site like this where people actually KNOW. One last thing, it looks like even tho this a connecting flight, I will need to go thru security when going to K? Also, do you know if there's a little store or something where I can pick up some small stuff for the departing flight w/o going thru security? I can't tell which areas are secured and if I have to leave them. Um, I'll be in a wheel chair on the way back 5 days later and may have a question about that but don't want to overload you. Thanks again for all your help!!randyThu, Oct 17

Baggage transferJul 8, 20132we arrive from London on United Airlines with an hour wait before heading to Vegas, does my luggage get transferred automatically and is an hour enough times to change planesSteveFri, May 2450 mins is not adequate as international arrivals at U.S. need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and - if transferring to another flight - re-check-in bag; then proceed up one level to the Airport Transit System (ATS) station and take the ATS train, which runs every few minutes, to your connecting terminal, where you need to go through security check before proceeding to your connecting gate. United uses Terminals 1,, 2 & 5 - you will arrive at Terminal 5 & after re-check-in of bags to take the train to either T1 Or T2.frmay13Fri, May 24a follow up question, is there signs that say "passport check", or "custom clearance" within T5? is "passport check and custome clearance" separate steps or the same step? i understand your post, but i don't know where to go for your steps within T5. your help will be appreciated.nickMon, Jul 8

Will she have enough time to make a 2:53 fight?etbSun, Apr 14Your daughter's arrival at, & departure from, ORD depend on which airlines she will take. Note that Dublin Airport has U.S. customs clearance, saving her time on arrival at ORD. The ATS train runs between ORD's 4 terminals, but in their unsecured areas - meaning she has to go through security check before proceeding to connecting gate. One hour transfer time is tight.

College coaches – no representatives
Chairpersons – Everything was covered at the last meeting.
Kevin Colley – Currently have over $12,000 in our accounts for USLacrosse. State of Maine raises $100,000 a year to United States Lacrosse. We only get $5,000 a year back for the state of Maine from the $100,000. We no longer get our rebate checks. We now need to request for money from USLacrosse. We now need to raise our own money for our chapters. USLacrosse gives 56.5 cents per mile to drive out of town to start new programs for the state of Maine. Focus on youth programs first. High school programs second. Working on a plan to get both programs at the same time. Look to get the youth programs better equipment and more equipment to help the game. The referees are also allowed to apply for the money. We receive all of our money ($4,500 a year) with two chunks: first chunk is by February 1
and second chunk is by April 1
Rob Lord – Grant committee things are changing. Used to get money based off of membership in chapters, but people were getting short changed so it is now based off of the number of varsity teams per area. Budget is checked for the activity in the chapters, and the necessity and reasonability of the requests. Process is anytime between now and August 15
(first deadline). Apply for grant in two periods. First one is by March 15
with application additional to CSP. Second period is July 15
to August 15
. USLacrosse.org website is giving all chapters a website, Rob will be the webmaster for all of New York and New England (including our chapter). Rob will be getting in touch with chapter representatives to get information regarding the chapter's news. By 2015, the amount of money donated in 2012 will be doubled to each individual chapter. The money has been pulled from other areas of USLacrosse to help grow the game more and in the correct way.
Jim Dock & Joe Hezlep – Maine chapter received 5 first stick grants last year, A.R. Gould, Mid-Maine, Rumford Youth, Oceanside, Lake Region, Windham among others have received $25,000 grants. We are having a hard time to give money away. We aren't getting any requests for money or for clinics. We need more suggestions of what to do with the money moving forward. NOCSAE balls are a phenomenal idea, but we need references and suggestions of where to start with other ideas.
Wayne Sanford – suggest potentially making the USLacrosse officers terms longer to support more continuity than repetitive turnover.
Jamie Chamberlain – What about allocating some money to the referees every year in our budget? (Joe Hezlep said it does happen. We have done it before.)
USLacrosse.org has chapter sites currently up. Go to uslacrosse.org top right corner and click chapters.
Next meeting is tentative for October 16

There is a wooded strip of land along a stream between our backyard and another street. We grow a vegetable garden behind the fence and would like to make that area a bit prettier to look at. For now, there are only weedy shrubs growing next our vegetable garden, so we want to clear the area and plant more appealing shrubs, like forsythias, red-twig dogwood, and butterfly bush. Are those deer-resistant? We have a few deer wandering around from time to time, but not a lot. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a bad deer problem northeast of you in NY, across the border but near Wayne and Pike Counties, and have been combatting them for years with some success, replanting beds with deer-resistant plants and protecting those which are not. In the winter, I fence in all shrubs. With snow cover, they eat anything and everything. Here are my experiences with the plants you mention. Forsythia. I took mine out, not because of deer, but for other reasons. Did they nibble on it in winter? Yes, and since it blooms on old growth, at least try easily removed netting. No nibbling in summers though. Good questions. I would like to hear how the dogwood does for you. |
- Posted by Brenda_near_Eno z7a Orange Cty (My Page) on Mon, Mar 21, 05 at 6:14
I've had some luck with leucothe illicium kalmia mahonia redtwig dogwood spireia calycanthus buddleia cotoneaster edgeworthia but if hungry enough they will eat it all. |
look at: http://www.rce.rutgers.edu/deerresistance/default.asp this study was done in our area, central new jersey, but deer could be more or less desperate where you are. i generally stick to the "rarely severely damaged" (translation: they never touch it) to "seldom severely damaged" (translation: they will nibble at it occasionally but not badly). we have forsythia everywhere in our neighborhood and we have lots of deer (one every day in my yard). the forsythia seem to bloom just fine. so do the buddleias. i've never seen my local mother and 3 bambis eating either in summer. as for red-twigged dogwood, i've heard the same as you, brumeta, but never planted one nor noticed any in our area... p.s., other flowering shrub considerations are magnolia, bottlebrush buckeye, rose of sharon, weigelas, and lilacs |
We need a privacy hedge or shrub about 8 feet long. Live near wind/water/deer. Any suggestions?' Near a patio. Just lost all of our trees in snowstorms |

Over the next few weeks we will see numerous planets float into the watery, empathetic sign of Pisces. Mars already made the move on February 1st. Mercury will dive in on the 5th, the Sun on the 18th, and Venus on the 25th. During the month, we should see our actions, communications, self-expression, and declarations of love become more adaptive, compassionate, and devotional.
What's especially significant about this influx is that as they enter Pisces, each will connect to Neptune, Pisces' ruling planet. This Neptune union will further Pisceanize our perceptions as it's M.O. is to dissolve the hard edges, reminding us that everything is really much more connected than we consider it to be upon first glance.
While this Neptune connection may further spiritualize our senses, calling forth a deep desire for union and an unconditional love connection, it also has the potential of taking us for a swim in a sea of illusion and confusion. If we don't have a clear sense of who should be responsible for what, a strong Pisces and Neptune energetic can inspire us to overstep our boundaries, which can lead to self-sacrifice, martyrdom, and enabling behavior.
Share a free sample Karmic Love Reading. Keep making the same mistakes with your love life? Gain karmic insight into your past life romances today!
So during this time, it's important to dive into your heart, finding that feeling of grace that comes through a sense of awe-filled connection, while also maintaining a heightened sense of clarity. Here are some self-care strategies that may be helpful.
* Meditation: Meditation gives you a time-out from swirl of everyday life and an experience of centering. It allows for the bridging of conscious and subconscious thoughts and feelings, further tuning you into your faith and intuition. The practice of meditation can help to catalyze a state of inner peace.
* Pink Yarrow Flower Essence: This elixir can promote a sense of empathetic fluidity while also helping us to strengthen our personal boundaries. It's great for periods when we find ourselves with a greater tendency to emotionally merge and get lost in another (which may be more of the norm during this heightened Pisces/Neptune period).
* Be Aquatic: Whether you go for a walk by the sea, take dips in a pool, or relax in a bath, connecting with the water can be very healing during this time. Being in the water and/or observing its flow can help you to tune into and more powerfully resonate with the natural energetics that will be so prevalent in February.

Exiting the estate grounds takes about 10 minutes; we drive another 10 to reach downtown Asheville. We're going to see a humble boardinghouse, Old Kentucky Home, near the business center. It's where Thomas Wolfe (author of Look Homeward, Angel and You Can't Go Home Again) grew up. His mother, rabidly determined to make a fortune in real estate, used the proceeds from her hostel for down payments on bargain properties around town. People came to stay not only to enjoy cool summers but also because mountain air was regarded as helpful for consumptives. One of the guests must have imported the bacillus that gave Wolfe the mild case of TB he suffered as a young man. Years later, a bout of pneumonia reopened the tubercles in his lungs and released active bacilli that infected his brain and killed him.
Wolfe's first novel describes a town he calls Altamont and a gloomy boardinghouse in it. He also mentions the nearby château, an extravagance that no doubt contributed to the narrator's discontent with his drab origins. Recently restored after a fire, the house doesn't look so bad, really. After contemplating the Victorian façade—its yellow-and-cream color scheme, its gingerbread ornamentation, the army of rockers on its veranda—IFT and I find the entrance to the Thomas Wolfe Memorial on North Market Street. A brief inspection of Wolfiana there, and then a guide takes us through the house itself.
It's a mazelike agglomeration of rooms on two levels, including one where Wolfe's brother Ben died and the upstairs sleeping porch that the wanderer liked to use when he did or did not come home again. We pause and feel a chill several times: in the labor-intensive kitchen, the dining room, and a parlor with a pump organ and family photographs. Because of today's overcast skies, there's an unfrosted Edison lightbulb still lit, its tungsten filament leaving a looped retinal afterimage for several minutes following my first squint at it. The ensemble makes a strong impression, compounded by alcoholism (Wolfe's father's), matriarchy, family deaths, and the indigenous mountain dreaminess. Wolfe left it all behind for a while, first as an undergraduate at UNC Chapel Hill, then as a romantic exile in New York. He was lionized in the years when he was alive and publishing but, according to an informal survey I took, the reputation has declined. Given a longer lifespan, he might have learned to curb his rhetorical bent and develop his comic abilities. When he died, he was brought home and buried in Riverside Cemetery, the headstone bearing two epitaphs taken from his writing. The first (from Look Homeward, Angel) simply says, "The last voyage, the longest, the best."
We drive 20 minutes east to Black Mountain, a small town nestled at the foot of the so-named mountain range, which includes the highest peak in these parts. It wouldn't have occurred to us to make the excursion except that a famous experimental school opened there 70 years ago. John Andrew Rice, the founder, had been booted out of a college in Florida, at which point he decided to set up his own alternative. His associateRobert Wunsch proposed a Christiansummer camp outside town as the site of the new college. Starting with Josef and Anni Albers, who left Germany and came to Black Mountain at the beginning of the Nazi era, the school counted among its faculty and students progressive artists of unusual caliber: Ben Shahn, Robert Rauschenberg, Jacob Lawrence, Robert Motherwell, the de Koonings, and Franz Kline. Buckminster Fuller, John Cage, and Merce Cunningham were on the faculty, and Black Mountain's writers included Francine du Plessix, Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Jonathan Williams, and Robert Duncan. While not bound by any uniform aesthetic, these figures shared a bent toward the experimental, making a collective impact on American culture by their work and by the freewheeling lives they led. The counterculture of the sixties really began the previous decade in California and North Carolina.
Present-day Black Mountain is basically a Southern hamlet populated by churchgoers and businesspeople. Because of the school's legend, there has also been an influx of amiable freaks, who've set up as potters, musicians, and painters within its ambit. As we stroll State Street, IFT takes in its laid-back galleries and crafts shops with a smile that looks...benign?Patronizing?Dinner here would be contraindicated, but there are cafés and bluegrass bars worth hanging out in. At the window of a shop selling dulcimers, we fantasize about apprenticing ourselves to Appalachia's sweet singers. Would Dolly Parton take our citified ways in stride?
An obligatory stop is the Black Mountain Center for the Arts, and the sites where Black Mountain College held its classes. BMC's true monument is the influence it had after its doors closed in 1956; it generated concepts that have played a role in American culture ever since. Okay, but how many artists have actually been here?Back in town, we buy the T-shirts that prove we have. IFT struggles into his. Cool. He says he wants to take the wheel when we hit the road back to Greensboro.

Go Karts
this wiki
Go Karts | |
Type | Thrill Ride |
Description | One of few tracked thrill rides, the Go Karts are a popular ride and one of the more expensive thrill rides available. |
Cost | ~$920+ |
Size | Medium (variable) |
Appearance | RollerCoaster Tycoon, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 |
The Go Karts are a thrill ride comprised of racecars that people can drive and race with.
Tarmac with barriers on either side.
- Maximum Track Slope: 25 degrees
- Maximum Height Above Ground: 29 ft.
Hints and Tips
The length of station platform determines the number of cars that can race, so make sure to have a long station platform or a short track with few laps. However, in RCT1, there is a limit of 12 cars, and a limit of 20 in RCT3, so keep the number of station tiles around seven, or else, in a longer station, the cars will be unnecessarily slowed.
Go karts start off with a basic excitement of 1.x. Having the track interfere with itself and other rides, particularly roller coasters, will dramatically up the excitement rating to 5 or 6 or more.
Version Differences
In RCT1, the guests have to wear a helmet when they are sitting on the karts. This is removed in RCT2 and RCT3. In RCT3, players can build a bigger curve track (requires 2x2 tiles) on the Go-Karts.

- Formula RCT 1 (Checkered Flag)
- Formula RCT 2 (Checkered Flag)
Other information
- In RCT2, two themed variants of the Go Karts exist; they function in the exact same way, with different designs for the vehicles - 1920's Racing Cars and Caveman Cars.
- In RCT1 and RCT2, Go-Kart tracks had to be completed in order to open it. However, this changed in RCT3, making incomplete tracks enabled to be open. This meant that RCT3 was the first to allow Go-Karts to crash.

Magnetic Clutter?
If your kitchen is anything like mine, your refrigerator is a giant vortex for just about anything that can be magnetized to it. I have magnets shaped like teacups, Coca-cola bottles, flowers, magnetic picture frames and even magnetic ads from the phone book that I took out because I needed the magnet at the time. I have fabulous drawings from local artists, (my grandkids), coupons, shopping lists, inspirational poems and a magnetic calendar from my insurance company turned to September 2006. As you can see, I need more up-to-date magnets to organize my clutter! I'll be purchasing the Engraved Magnetic Clothespins to replace some of my old ones with. I get 5 top quality magnets and I can engrave up to 10 characters on each pin. Now, if they only made a magnet that could clean OUT the refrigerator…

Later today, it's believed that the New York Mets will announce that Angel Pagan will be the team's everyday center fielder for the 2011 season, pushing three time Gold Glove Award winner Carlos Beltran into right field. Beltran has played in only 145 games over the last two seasons due to knee injuries. In limited action, he proved to be a pale imitation of his former self, lacking the defensive brilliance that Mets fans had come to expect from him in center field, declining drastically in defensive metrics from his last full season in 2008.
Despite his recent history, heading into Spring Training, Beltran was expected to compete for the center fielder's job, but as the Grapefruit schedule kicks off, he finds himself still not healthy enough to play defense, and so according to Adam Rubin of ESPN, told Pagan and manager Terry Collins this morning that he's ready for the move to right.
According to Mets third baseman David Wright:
That's probably takes a lot coming from a guy that's really accomplished what he's accomplished. Carlos wouldn't have done it if he didn't feel comfortable doing it. I just think it's a very selfless act. Like I said, baseball players have a lot of pride. To be able to kind of swallow that pride and look at what's best for the team and make that decision, says a lot about what Carlos is trying to accomplish here.
As much as I'd like to credit Beltran for his selflessness, the move is anything but. The former Kansas City Royal is in the final season of a seven year $119 million contract, and while a switch hitting center fielder with both speed and power would be guaranteed to do well on the free agent market, a bad showing in center this season could relegate him to the ranks of a defensive liability.
Beltran of course is represented by Scott Boras, and he would be loathe to allow his client to be seen next offseason as only a designated hitter, considering the incredibly poor market for those types this offseason. Playing right field is a much safer bet to allow Beltran to maintain some of the defensive credibility he's earned over his career and in all likelihood it will reduce the wear and tear on his fragile knees, as he wouldn't be expected to cover as much ground in a corner outfield spot.
Given Pagan's success filling in for Beltran last year (11.8 UZR/150), whether the motivation is altruistic or not doesn't really matter because it's beneficial to both Beltran and the team.

Calm., Anti-Smiles (Dirty Laboratory). With Anti-Smiles, Calm. has written the perfect prescription for a musical form whose exterior facade is often slick while being filled with insipid cultural detritus. His poetically brilliant words incisively point out the core issues plaguing our culture and the modern psyche over deeply evocative music that matches its dark subject matter. — Murphy
Cat-A-Tac, Past Lies and Former Lives (Needlepoint Records). After scrapping previous sessions a couple of times, the members of Cat-A-Tac finally followed up their excellent, self-titled debut EP with yet another fantastic collection of gauzy, feedback-drenched songs alternately guided by Andy Tennant's whispery delivery and Jim McTurnan's drony, melodious croon. Epic. — Herrera
Cephalic Carnage, Xenosapien (Relapse). Creatively speaking, Xenosapien takes Cephalic Carnage to the next level. Although the metal vets' latest is just as brutal as past offerings, the sounds they draw upon are more varied than ever. From highly technical (and occasionally even artsy) guitar playing to rhythms so heavy they could crush diamonds, Zac Joe and his fellow Cephalites wreak fascinating havoc. — Michael Roberts
Cique, Cique (Capri). First things first: The name is pronounced "sick," as in "That was sick," an oft-heard comment following the band's live shows. In laymen's terms, of course, that means "That was badass," and this disc is. Keyboardist Jeff Jenkins takes some cues from the late Joe Zawinul and late-'60s/early-'70s Miles, and gets help from guitarist John Abercrombie on a few cuts. — Solomon
John Common, Why Birds Fly (Free School Records). Far too many performers settle for predictability — but Common constantly pushes himself, his songs and his arrangements onto paths that few travelers have trod. While his work can seem inconsistent at times, even the misses are intriguing — and the high points (like "Moonlight" and the preternatural "Not So Bad") truly take wing. — Roberts
Ian Cooke, The Fall I Fell (Self-released). With dynamic vocals that are every bit as enchantingly unique as this disc's packaging, Ian Cooke delivers a riveting concept album that explores the exasperating nature of unrequited love, using a cello as primary focal point. Hands down, The Fall I Fell is the most awe-inspiring release of 2007. — Herrera
Deca, The Hedonist (Excess Entertainment). Deca's voice and flow sets him apart from most of the MCs in Colorado. That, coupled with fresh beats from Yonnas (of the Pirate Signal) and appearances from fellow luminaries Paas, Mane Rok and Ichiban, make The Hedonist one of the hottest hip-hop efforts of 2007. — Salazar-Moreno
Epileptinomicon, Nekrobukuro (Sleeping Giant). Nightmarish, primordial drones run through this experimental ambient masterpiece. Nekrobukuro sounds like what it might be like to explore the lost civilization at the Mountains of Madness. Tones collide, fuse, drift apart and get stuck in your head like a terrifying yet inexplicably beautiful vision of darkly infinite horizons. — Murphy
Flobots, Fight With Tools (Self-released). If hip-hop ever had a conscience, it's been safely transplanted into the soul of Flobots. Led by a pair of cerebral wordsmiths, this insurgent seven-piece ensemble subverts convention by using live instrumentation to power incisive, thought-provoking content. There's a war going on for your mind, they insist, and clearly, these guys are winning. — Herrera
Reed Foehl, Stoned Beautiful (Red Parlor/Never Foehl). It's no wonder that former Acoustic Junction frontman Reed Foehl has enjoyed so much success in getting his songs licensed. Each of the earthy vignettes on Stoned Beautiful is filled with the kind of contemplative musings that are easy to relate to, regardless of your lot in life. — Herrera
Forth Yeer Freshman, Rock Your Box (Self-released). Summoning equal parts grit and wit, Forth Yeer Freshman put together the year's most fun record. Rock Your Box is grin-inducing no matter how much song titles like "Hungry for Your Butt" and "Balls Deep" might make you squirm. It's like having someone squeeze an entire tube of Bengay into your shorts. — Herrera
Fucking Orange, Fucking Orange (Self-released). Boasting colossal, droning riffs that erupt like a Titan weary with outrage, Fucking Orange recalls the work of Neurosis, but with a good deal more Teutonic discipline. Here the men of Fucking Orange explore their dark and heavy psychedelic side, proof positive that heavy music can be both artistically sophisticated and unbelievably crushing. — Murphy
George&Caplin, He Really Got Through to Advertising (Beta-lactam Ring). Half of Advertising is flush with fuzzy 4AD shoegazey guitars set against dreamy Boards of Canada-esque electronic landscapes, while the other half finds Jeffrey Wentworth Stevens and Jason Fredrick Iselin venturing into warmer territory, bringing in acoustic guitars and flutes. It's an epic journey, albeit a short one, as the disc is just under thirty minutes. — Solomon
gOP@Riot, gOP@Riot (Self-released). Thundering out of Hell's basement, Nate Weaver, Sean Inman and Ben Williams coax more musical mayhem from two bass guitars and a drum kit than many other bands pull from a full stage of players. The trio combines punk, post-rock and math-rock influences with blunt and brutal force. Unsuitable for cardiac patients. — Eyl
Great American Taxi, Streets of Gold (GAT, LLC). If you thought Vince Herman's musical ride was over, try again. While absent some of the loony genre-mashing and noodle ethos that marks much of Leftover Salmon's output, the Taxi brings straight-up hooks while appealing to the throwback sensibility of bar-room hippies everywhere. — Nick Hutchinson

Installation Profile: Intelligent Design
Feb 1, 2009 12:00 PM, By Jack Kontney
How technology helps realize a thoroughly modern vision for the new home of one of our nation's oldest museums.
"This is a very open, reflective space, with about a dozen or so exhibits in fairly close proximity in each of the main areas on the first floor," Dunmeyer says. "Having the ability to focus audio in a very specific path really helps. So when you move from one display to another, you move out of the beam of one speaker system and into the next."
The tabletop displays have room for wheelchair access, which in turn created a need for small computers and compact rear-projection systems that are designed for extremely short throw. For this reason, the most challenging exhibits contain a Mac Mini computer and Toshiba TDP-EW25U video projector.
The museum's ADA mandate dictated that all video systems have captioning available. With both HD and SD displays, finding a seamless method for providing captioning was a challenge. The solution was to create an application suited to the task.
"We just couldn't find a playback device that could switch to captioning on the fly in an attractive and timely manner. You don't want to wait multiple seconds; it should just be like a reveal," Harris-Cronin says. "We used a graphical programming environment by Cycling '74 called Max/MSP/Jitter. Basically, you push a button for captioning, and the computer just jumps to a different piece of video in the same spot, but with captions in place. It takes less than half a second."
Exhibits called Person-Facilitated Experiences (PFE) put a human face on things. Basically, these allow visitors to interact with working personnel, mediated by a docent. Examples include a dive show in the coral reef exhibit, penguin-feeding shows in the Africa Hall, and a working research station.
The Philippines Coral Reef is a two-story tank containing live coral and hundreds of various fish. Periodically, a diver enters the tank and speaks with observers through a Clear-Com CellCom intercom system.
"With one Cell 10 station, you can get six completely different audio pathways, so we could do all the exhibits we needed with a single system," Kaufman says. For underwater applications, the diver wears a full face mask with integral microphone and headphones from Ocean Technology Systems; a comm line carries audio up to the surface where the CellCom beltpack resides in a waterproof case.
The popular African Penguin exhibit also features a live show, with penguin cams, which are also viewable on the museum's website. The cameras are Sony SSC-DC374s, each encased in custom weatherproof housing to prevent degradation from the salt, humidity, and smells of this living exhibit.
Another unique exhibit is the Research Lab. The academy has a long history of leadership in field research, and it wanted to make it more accessible to the public. A glass wall allows guests to see the researchers, who can present content from their ongoing projects. A projectiondesign F10 1080p projector accepts images from a microscope camera, a DNA sequencer, a ceiling-mounted videocamera, or a video source. Again, the researcher uses a CellCom 10 system to communicate via loudspeakers on nearby kiosks, while the docent uses a handheld Sennheiser ew335G2 wireless system to relay questions and comments. Both the Clear-Com system and the Sennheiser wireless are used throughout the academy and routed through the MediaMatrix system.
"It's kind of a complicated audio path," Kaufman says. "But again, if desired, we can take those signals and output them anywhere in the building. Once the signal is in MediaMatrix, you can do just about anything with it."

Napa Cabbage & Carrots with Rice Wine-Oyster Sauce
In northern China, napa (also known as Chinese cabbage) is popular in the winter. It is delicious in soups, dumplings, braises and of course stir-fries. Napa is much sweeter and more tender than green cabbage, resembling Savoy cabbage, which can be substituted.
Yield: 4 servings, about 1/2 cup eachActive Time: 20
Total Time: 20
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced shallot, (1 large)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 4 cups thinly sliced napa cabbage, (about 8 ounces)
- 1 cup thinly sliced carrot, (1 large)
- Rice Wine-Oyster Sauce, (recipe follows)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or large skillet over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl canola oil into the pan, add shallot and garlic and stir-fry for 10 seconds. Add cabbage and carrot and stir-fry until the cabbage just begins to wilt, about 1 minute. Stir Rice Wine-Oyster Sauce and swirl it into the pan; cook for 30 seconds. Stir-fry until the cabbage and carrot are tender-crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in sesame oil. Serve immediately.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Prep the cabbage up to 4 hours ahead
- Shao Hsing (or Shaoxing) is a seasoned rice wine. It is available in most Asian specialty markets and some larger supermarkets in the Asian section. If unavailable, dry sherry is an acceptable substitute.
