Visiting Camp Navarro in Medocino was a delight! Agathe, Cameron and I camped out in the rustic cabins, drank wine around the camp fire, and fell in love with the redwoods in the Anderson Valley.
We dreamed of their wedding in the Great Redwood Grove with hanging lanterns, and farm-to-table cuisine. We loved the idea of all guests receiving headlamps as arrival gifts, and styling each cabin with wool blankets and vintage camping lanterns. The Navarro River is absolutely gorgeous and just 10 minutes down the Highway you can launch canoes and inner tubes for a really fun group ride.
I often visit plant stores and shops for event design inspiration. I find them especially helpful when planning a living arrangement centerpiece for an eclectic wedding design. One of my favorite online stores is Terrain (which is an extension of Anthropology and Urban Outfitters). Their line of gardening and outdoor living products are perfect for bringing the outside in.
I love this line of plant trays designed to catch water runoff from larger planters, but they themselves can be packed with moss, succulents, and air plants to create a long, beautiful, fresh arrangement in the center of your tables. It's an easy project, and it's eclectic approach makes it fairly easy for any DIY Bride and her family to create.
Here are some of this week's obsessions…
Loving this LA vintage eclectic wedding with modern bohemian accents.
I'm in love with Caitln Flemming for the first time. I cant believe I never knew about her until now!
San Francisco Firehouse 8 is an iconic venue full of possibilities for weddings, special events, and pop-up restaurants. I'm obsessed with brick (and, let's be honest, Firemen too).
Obsessed with this incredible modern rustic Sonoma wedding at the Summerhill House by Hugh Forte Photography. Katey Oursler did a killer job with the farm-to-table dinner!
If you are in the market for decorations, unique dinnerware, or stylish lounge furniture for your upcoming wedding, Flea Markets & Swap Meets are the ticket. While Craigslist is a great resource for used wedding items as well, you can often find the unusual and unique if you venture out into some of these events.
Here are some ideas for your shopping list: mason jars, chalkboards, photo booth props, vases (try ceramic as well for an earthy look), candles, cake stands, vintage pie tins, lanterns, vintage table linens, rugs for the aisle or lounge.
For a list of Flea Markets in the SF Bay Area (where I live and work), SF Gate provides a great one here. My favorite from this list is the Alameda Point Antiques and Collectable Faire held on the first Sunday each month. There are so many gorgeous handmade crafts and beautiful antique items for sale.
If you are lucky to live in Chicago, plan on attending The Great Wedding Recyclery on Sunday April 27th. It's an awesome event where former brides sell their gently used wedding items to brides and grooms and get to share with you how the item was used and experienced at the wedding.
Here we go again, it's tax time! For all you Newlyweds that were married in 2013 (even on December 31st), take note of these important tips you can take advantage of when filing jointly (source irs.gov).
Make sure all the information is current and correct. If you've changed your name or address, you need to make sure your W-2s are accurate as well as correct with the Social Security Administration and the IRS.
Know the benefits to filing jointly. It is possible that you can earn more money at a lower tax rate when filing as a married couple. BONUS!
Don't settle for standard deductions anymore. Itemized deductions are now your friend. If you didn't qualify for them previously, that may have changed. Don't forget to gather your tax forms and receipts for things like home mortgage interest, property taxes, car registration, reimbursed employee expenses, and charitable contributions, which may give you more tax deductions and a bigger tax refund.
As weather is heating up, I'm reminded of one of my favorite guest pampering tips, the "Refresher Station". Upon arrival, guests love to be made comfortable, and I think it's always a great idea to offer fruit-infused ice water and maybe a house-made lemonade before the ceremony. Because many guests have traveled a distance to get to the event, and this easy DIY water station will help to cool them off before they are seated.
If you don't have the budget to have it maned by a bartender, place mason jars out with hanging tags so guests can write their names and hold onto their water glass for the night. Don't forget to get a wooden crate, or wine box to lift the water jugs off the table in a stylish way. It's important to raise the spouts up far enough off the table to make it easy for the glasses to fit underneath. Handmade chalkboard signs are a great way to finish off the look.
Not just your average salad servers, these adorable bamboo spoons and service wear come with sweet motifs of swallows, branches and hearts. These would make the perfect eco-wedding gift– unique, usable, and made from a super renewable resource!
You can check out the full bamboo range on the dandi website.

The recent New York drama around some wedding photographer's gone bankrupt, leaving many couples left in the dark with their wedding photo's and albums, is so concerning.
I'm happy to see that the Attorney General of NYC is following up on the case, and has issued the following great advice for couples about hiring a wedding photographer.
1. Insist the company identify the photographer who will be at your wedding, and make sure they are listed on the contract you sign
2. Check at least 3 references for weddings that took place within the last 3 months
3. Never pre-pay in full
4. Discuss and decide on due dates for each task and make sure the contract contains that information (ie, proofs are ready for you to view by a certain date)
5. Check to see if the vendor belongs to a wedding photographer's association
Spring weddings are a great time to integrate the color green. It signifies "fresh" and "new"… and against white can make for a crisp modern look, or a classic feel.
This green and white wedding style shoot featured on Green Wedding Shoes is one of their most popular pages, and for good reason!
Check out the subtle use of baby's breath in the bouquet (it's so sweet!), and the integration of antique lace as the "something old" is quite eco-fabulous!

I love to follow trends.. what woman doesn't?! But more than that I love to follow eco-fabulous fashion and wedding trends. Of course, no eco-wedding trend should have a shelf life, expiring at the end of the year…after all they are all great, green practices for any green event!
The Recycled Bride, which also has a fabulous real weddings section of their blog, publishes their take each year on the years great eco-wedding trends.
This year's report says that the eco-savvy brides and grooms are…
1. still into chalkboards, be it for menu's, seating charts, or programs they cut down on unnecessary paper waste, and just plane look cool
2. staying away from diamonds by either opting for colored gems or (my favorite) buying man-made stones, which are naturally conflict free
3. staying home for their honeymoons, seeking out romantic hometown adventures (hmmmm? if you lived in San Francisco maybe…)
4. sourcing local food, inspired by Chelsea Clinton's wedding (of course)
5. opting for a smaller guest list, making for more intimate weddings (and more affordable)
6. recycling, by reusing gowns, party decor, and wedding accessories (though technically, this is called "reuse")
7. shortening wedding dresses, so they can wear them again (very practical!)
8. registering green to support the sustainable economy (yayyy!)
9. love vintage bird cage veils, opting out of long veiled accessories
10. And last… featuring a more vegetable based dinner, reducing the meat at each plate! (victory for the vegetarians)
The trends are posted at Project Wedding now.. and the photo's are just adorable, courtesy of Catie Ronquillo (I love the photo shoot!).

Let's talk about Bayesian classifiers. They're everywhere. They filter your spam, recommend new links, and categorize web pages. Why are they so omnipresent? Because the math behind them is simple to understand, and simple to implement. So simple, in fact, that we'll do it in an hour.
I'll go over Bayes' theorem and how it relates to classification. I'll walk you through creating basic tokenization, training, and testing functions. Then we'll categorize stuff. My implementation language will be Perl, but you're welcome to use whatever language you'd like.
I'm going to try to attend Sunday during the day. I hope to see you there.

Brands Pump Up Fans With Kickoff of Super Bowl Ads
This Sunday the country's largest sporting event and one of the most-watched nights of television will have fans glued to their flat screens. But it's not just the "Big Game" that fans are anticipating – it's also the commercials.
Beyond the Field of Your Dreams: Careers in the Sports Industry Abound
For those who have a strong interest in sports, the news is good. Beyond the privileged few who wear jerseys with numbers on their backs as pro athletes, the business of sports offers many opportunities in a wide variety of occupations and organizations according to John Lord, Ph.D., professor of sports marketing.
PHILADELPHIA (Dec. 21, 2012) — Saint Joseph's University entertainment marketing students are helping the elderly get their groove back, and hopefully their memories at the same time.
Mobile Shoppers, an Opportunity for Retail?
Consumer shopping patterns this holiday season point to a very clear trend: mobile shopping is increasing in popularity. In the past, mobile and online shopping have been viewed as a threat to traditional brick-and mortar stores, but Brent Smith, Ph.D., associate professor of marketing at Saint Joseph's University, sees an opportunity for retailers to connect with tech-savvy consumers through their mobile devices.
Recession Retail: Big Changes Coming to America's Apparel
No segment of the economy has been immune from the economic downturn, but U.S. clothing retailers have had a particularly rough time.
Now, even as the economy makes its slow climb back, the apparel industry isn't out of the woods. They're facing another set of challenges: retaining customers as new competitors with game-changing ideas fight to break into the market.
Film Office's Pinkenson to be Recognized with Marketer of the Year Award
PHILADELPHIA (Oct. 2, 2012) – Saint Joseph's University's chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMA) will honor Sharon Pinkenson with the annual Marketer of the Year Award on Thursday, Oct. 4 at 11:30 a.m. in the Campion Student Center's Doyle Banquet Hall.
Grammys Honor the Art – Not the Commerce – of Music -
Entertainment marketing expert Brent Smith, Ph.D., says that, despite the shift toward more popular music genres, the Grammy Awards should still be taken seriously by viewers as an event where artists are recognized for the quality of their work.
"To some degree, every brand must stay relevant with mainstream audiences," says Smith. "Yet, the Grammys still represent the most respected awards show in the music industry because the nominees and winners are elected by their peers."
Pepsi Ends Longtime Tradition of Super Bowl Ads
David Allan, Ph.D., an entertainment marketing expert and professor at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, says the big news this year about Super Bowl commercials is what viewers won't see.
Pepsi, which has bought up commercial slots during the Super Bowl for more than 20 years, has opted out this time around, leaving the field open for other companies to make their move.
Myths About Health Care Reform Leave Seniors in the Dark
The rumors swirling about health care reform are as sizeable as the 1,000 pages of proposed legislation. Of particular concern to George P. Sillup, Ph.D., assistant professor of pharmaceutical marketing at Saint Joseph's University, is the misinformation floating across the Internet, and over the airways, about how health care reform will affect Medicare.
Health Care Reform and Medicare Recipients
From the time presidential candidate Theodore Roosevelt first discussed health care reform in 1912, the topic has been a precedent-setting issue in the U.S. The 2010 passage of health care legislation is no different, but has many Americans in a quandary about how it will affect them. This is especially true of senior citizens.

Weedy species of Cirsium, Carduus, Echinops, Sonchus, and other plant genera of the composite family. The term usually refers to prickly leaved species of Carduus and Cirsium, which have dense heads of small, usually pink or purple flowers. Because they have spiny stems and flower heads without ray flowers, Carduus species are called plumeless thistles. Canadian thistle (Cirsium arvense) is an attractive but troublesome weed in agricultural areas of North America. The thistle is the national emblem of Scotland. 763
Learn more about thistle with a free trial on Britannica.com.
Thistle is the common name of a group of flowering plants characterised by leaves with sharp prickles on the margins, mostly in the plant family Asteraceae. Prickles often occur all over the plant - on surfaces such as those of the stem and flat parts of leaves. These are an adaptation to protect the plant against herbivorous animals, discouraging them from feeding on the plant. Typically, an involucre with a clasping shape of a cup or urn subtends each of a thistle's flowerheads.
The term thistle is sometimes taken to mean exactly those plants in the tribe Cynareae (synonym: Cardueae), especially the genera Carduus, Cirsium, and Onopordum. However, plants outside this tribe are sometimes called thistles, and if this is done thistles would form a polyphyletic group.
Genera in the Asteraceae with the word thistle often used in their common names include:
Plants in families other than Asteraceae which are sometimes called thistle include:
In the language of flowers, the thistle (like the burr) is an ancient Celtic symbol of nobility of character as well as of birth, for the wounding or provocation of a thistle yields punishment. For this reason the thistle is the symbol of the Order of the Thistle, a high chivalric order of Scotland.
Another story is that a Viking attacker stepped on one at night and cried out, so alerting the defenders of a Scottish castle. Whatever the justification, the national flower of Scotland is Scots Thistle, Onopordum acanthium. It is found in many Scottish symbols and as the name of several Scottish football clubs.
Thistle flowers, along with bugle and brambles flowers, are favourite nectar sources of the Pearl-bordered Fritillary, Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary, High Brown Fritillary, and Dark Green Fritillary butterflies.

Lundi 7 mai
Well, here's more of what happens after the first catch was impressive the way. We let each other's arms, which both feel guilty as hell, Lesley to mourn a bit, then wiped his eyes and said : Well, we have now ', and it was fantastic, lets go up . I saw her skirt twisted boobs jiggle as dreamamateurs attractive as she moved out of it. He turned and went upstairs, I followed meekly, mesmerized by her hips gently swaying and waving vaguely. in the bedroom, she is on her knees and sucked my cock rampant what seemed an eternity, I had never been so difficult so soon after having sex for years, this was something else. stood up and turned around presenting her ass to me. I gave her a kiss on both cheeks and pulled them apart and ran my tongue over her pussy and butt hole. Sh is shoved breath in me, and I pushed my cock into her from behind deeop in one fluid motion. She grunted and then buried his head in a pillow, since fUcked slowly but firmly. , when he began to pant with passion, and began pushing back against me, I have faster, beating my meat dreamamateurs in her pussy fucking greedy dreamamateurs well. I pulled her hips on me and forced me deep inside her and took my cock in it, as it happened the second time my sperm deep into her lap while she screamed like a puppy, and told me how good the for me it was shit. I felt fantastic, here I was a fucking sexy woman, and she said it was great. Time was moving, so we dressed and ready for our families had to return home. I won ` t bore you with all the feelings I had when my wife came home, I tried to be normal. The next day I received a text from Lesley meet in the parking lot located dreamamateurs in a local beauty spot. Of course I went. Once I arrived, she was dressed in his car in a miniskirt and bikini. She grabbed my hand and led me to a piece of the jungle. He leaned against a tree and lifted her skirt to show they hadno pants and her lips were swollen protruding dreamamateurs tufts of hair. I put my hand on his lap and put her finger in her pussy. He squirmed and kissed me dreamamateurs on the lips, tongue in search of one another as I had an orgasm. He leaned against the tree and opened her legs for me to take his foot, wild as I wanted to hit her. When I was about to end told me to stop and look over your shoulder. A man over 22 years of age with the mouth open and watched us. She is on her knees and sucked me right in front of this type. who came a little closer and began to masturbate. Imy sperm, as it began to get out of his cock from her mouth and let my sperm in her face and hair, as he sounds Mmmm mmmmm and dreamamateurs fingering her pussy to orgasm. WOW, what a girl who was absolutely crazy with lust and even allowed Wank also on the other. We spoke to the man who taught us to be themselves, and took his phoneNumber...... what happens in the next few weeks really surprised. but that's another story.

What is it
The hybrid technology has been developed for racing application, so two electric motors supplement the 480bhp 4.0-litre engine.
However, instead of the batteries you'd find in a hybrid road car, a generator powered by the car's flywheel delivers energy to the two electric motors.
Generating power
The generator is charged whenever the driver applies the brakes, at which point the electric motors stop delivering power in order to act as generators themselves.
Rather than braking energy being lost as heat, it is converted into power that can be used at a later time by the car's driver.
Saving fuel
As well as creating extra power, the hybrid system helps reduce fuel consumption. Performance is also improved because the car will need a lighter fuel tank and fewer pitstops.
Car on test
After the Geneva motor show, Porsche will be testing the 911 GT3 R hybrid in long-distance races at the Nurburgring in Germany.
Porsche hopes that the car will act as a 'racing laboratory' to help develop future hybrid technology in road-going applications.
The Porsche you see here at the Geneva motor show is not the company's first attempt at hybrid technology. Ferdinand Porsche first developed a vehicle with hybrid drive 110 years ago; the Lohner-Porsche. This had two combustion engines and an electric hub motor, and could store energy in a battery.

I'd never seen Vicente like that: dumb drunk. I regard him as much my big brother as Julián's, and I love him for being the father in Julián's life during the eighteen years Benjamin spent in prison (three separate stints, all for marijuana cultivation, starting in 1963, the year of Julián's birth).
Vicente is the only one of Benjamin and Luisa's six children who is a loyal Communist Party member, a militante, and I always thought his kindness and decency and work ethic were the revolution's best recommendation. It's true that for years he carried too many responsibilities -- he and his wife (who had stayed at the faraway finca) kept having babies while his crops decreased with the drought; the government was paying him less for its share of the produce; and his father and farming partner was wearing down. In fact in the next few days, Vicente planned to sign documents authorizing his household to move to a more accessible farm closer to Boniato.
So he had more than enough reason to stay drunk for a week. But I could see Julián was uncomfortable with his brother's uncharacteristic lack of decorum. His long-time fears about Vicente's health revived: He was too thin, Julián worried, and his hair and beard were too gray. Vicente, as hardheaded as the rest of the family, paid no mind.
Later that day Julián's good friend Héctor picked us up in his 1983 Lada. We were moving to the more comfortable house of Julián's half-brother Bernabé in Santiago, about twenty miles away. Bernabé is Benjamin's son from a pre-Luisa relationship. En route we bought more rum and water, then dropped in on Luisa's younger sister, Silvia, who lives in the hills outside El Caney, an agricultural center on the road to Santiago. She and her two adult children, Sonia and Sergio, were thrilled to see us. Sergio immediately plugged in a boom box and began the elaborate preparations for killing and roasting a young pig. Julián opened a bottle of Havana Club, and that was the cue for most of El Caney to appear on the steep concrete steps to Silvia's porch. The men cleaned, gutted, and dressed the pig, dug and fired up the pit, skewered the carcass with a long branch, and then took turns patiently turning it over the smoldering fire.
A dozen or so of us sat around a small back patio where the boom box played. Cándido Fabré was singing about los apagones, the systematic electrical outages throughout the island, and how he had lost some good pork chops in the fridge. We were joking about the difficulties of life in Cuba, but the mood turned darker when we learned that Sonia, who is married to a policeman, had lost her two-year-old daughter eighteen months earlier. The girl had been playing with some other children on a roadside not far from the house when a drunk driver struck her. Those types of alcohol-influenced car accidents were becoming all too common, the neighbors agreed.
The air was cooling off fast, and Héctor made a quick rum run. I think he is the only one of Julián's legions of friends and family in the oriente who owns a car. By Cuban standards he has it good: a decent job, a beautiful wife and daughter, and an apartment far nicer than the residences of any of Julián's family. But Héctor is still sick with longing for his ex-wife and sixteen-year-old daughter in Miami, even after almost ten years.
"We were so happy," he confided softly that night on Silvia's patio. "She's the love of my life. Please don't tell her that." Héctor has pale skin and eyes, a gingery mustache, and fine features that contrast with his barrel-chested frame. He had never said much to me before and would never admit such heartache without help from Havana Club. "If she had to go, why did she have to take my little girl?" he asked. But of course he knows; Héctor is just one of millions of Cubans who have seen their families dissolve.
The pig was carved up and tiny portions served with congrí and yuca. By then there were probably 40 people wandering in and out of the house, and close to 20 transfixed around the television set in the front room. A telenovela was on, one of two wildly popular soap operas airing alternate nights on Cuba's two TV channels. Tonight was the penultimate episode. As it came to an end, Julián made moves to leave, but Sergio went out and killed one of his chickens and a goat. Of course we couldn't refuse his hospitality. Héctor went on another rum run.
The night air carried a slight chill and the smell of dry vegetation. After the food and rum had been finished off and the neighbors all sent home, Héctor, Julián, and I settled into Héctor's Lada and rumbled down to the road from El Caney to Santiago. The old highway is irregularly paved, widening and narrowing and turning capriciously. Massive root-bound trees border the road on both sides. Along some stretches, the branches make solid arches overhead.

Our customers rate iStorage Aston 4.67 stars out of 5. You too can have a great storage experience by calling (610) 485-5200 right now!
Overall, great experience. I hadn't rented a storage unit before iStorage but after using other storage units afterwards, I realized they are fantastic. The customer service is wonderful and I had 24-hour access to my things. It was clean and secure and the check in was very speedy which is unusual. Other places will have you wait a considerable amount of time to check in so they were very efficient.
The manager Darlene was able to answer all my questions, double checked that our code worked, got rental agreement papers ready quickly so I could move in before the office closed in case I needed help. The lights outside my unit were not working, Darlene assured me that maintenance would be out to fix it the next day. I do not like that some vehicles in the parking storage are large enough to block traffic flow by my unit.
Service was excellent and Mary was very helpful and friendly.
The customer service at this location was impeccable. She made renting a unit a stress free environment. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone that needed one.
It was easy to get in and unload 2 vehicles.
Very friendly and easy to do business with.
No hassles. They do the work for you! Storing with iStorage Aston has been a great, easy experience. It's the first time I've ever rented a storage unit, and they made it a simple process for me. They explained everything to me, so all the terms were quite clear. My deal was a little complicated, but they made it easy. While I haven't seen the unit itself due to my complicated situation, I have seen the facility, which is well-kept, clean and well-manicured. I assume the unit is just the same. They provide great customer service. I would say you should go ahead and use them. They make the experience easy with no hassles.
Clean and well-maintained storage facility. So far, so good! I have had no problems with iStorage Aston. They are very efficient and seem to know what they're doing. I just had a little bit of a disappointment that one gentleman, who was there when I first came, hasn't been there when I have gone in since. I didn't feel right asking the ladies at the desk if he still worked there because I didn't want them to think I didn't like them. The ladies aren't as friendly as him, but they do their job well. It's just that friendliness means a lot. Just being friendly and smiling goes a long way and the guy that was there that first time I went was like that. I've been back to my storage since I got it a couple months ago and I noticed that they're putting things around for bugs and mice. Everything's dry and there's no bugs or anything. Everything's been great. It's very clean and they did a beautiful remodeling job too. I would definitely highly recommend them. The prices are decent.
Great. When I first went to IStorage Aston, their prices were the same as everyone else, but they did give me a truck for free and that saved me a whole lot of money. They told me about specials that weren't advertised which was great. They helped me out by being accommodating and giving me more time with the trucks. I've already recommended them to a few people.
I like it! Things have been good at iStorage Aston so far. I've only been there a month, but when I went to sign up they were very courteous and saved me some money by showing me what deals they had available. I also like that I can go in there when I need to and move my equipment in and out.
It's easy! iStorage Aston was good enough that this is my third time using them. I have one unit and no problems.
Everything was great. The grounds and buildings were all very nice an clean. The special I received on the unit was great. The people were very helpful and nice.
A great place for storage. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The free truck use is one less headache to worry about. If you need storage this is the place
Excellent. Very helpful and friendly!
Everything is wonderful, but it could be cleaned a bit. The service at iStorage of Aston is very nice, but the corridors are dirty. They need to sweep them inside. That's the once thing I told Mary to tell her manager. The storage is good, but clean it at least once so there are fewer bugs and things. Before you give the units out, just grab a broom very quickly to make it even better! Besides that, everything and all the people are wonderful!
Take advantage of our web-only specials by calling (610) 485-5200 right now!

It is well established that the proteolytic processing of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) generates beta-amyloid (Abeta), which plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In contrast, the physiological role of APP and of its numerous proteolytic fragments and the question of whether a loss of these functions contributes to AD are still unknown. To address this question, we replaced the endogenous APP locus by gene-targeted alleles and generated two lines of knock-in mice that exclusively express APP deletion variants corresponding either to the secreted APP ectodomain (APPs alpha) or to a C-terminal (CT) truncation lacking the YENPTY interaction motif (APPdeltaCT15). Interestingly, the deltaCT15 deletion resulted in reduced turnover of holoAPP, increased cell surface expression, and strongly reduced Abeta levels in brain, likely because of reduced processing in the endocytic pathway. Most importantly, we demonstrate that in both APP knock-in lines the expression of APP N-terminal domains either grossly attenuated or completely rescued the prominent deficits of APP knock-out mice, such as reductions in brain and body weight, grip strength deficits, alterations in circadian locomotor activity, exploratory activity, and the impairment in spatial learning and long-term potentiation. Together, our data suggest that the APP C terminus is dispensable and that APPs alpha is sufficient to mediate the physiological functions of APP assessed by these tests.

MEDFORD, Ore. — Medford Police have arrested a suspect connected to a stabbing that occurred in downtown Medford last Sunday, shortly after 2:00 a.m. Aaron Riley Westensee, 25, of Central Point was arrested today on charges of Attempted Murder, and Attempted Assault in the first degree. He is lodged in the Jackson County Jail and being held with $2,000,000 bail.
Detectives with Medford Police were able to identify all of the involved parties in the incident. There were a total of eight males who were involved in a verbal dispute which occurred just prior to the stabbing. The dispute between the parties was determined to go back several months and there is a history of assault behavior among the parties.
During the incident on Sunday morning, many of the involved parties were intoxicated when they came across each other in the downtown area. Police determined that Aaron Westensee produced a knife and began menacing the victim and his group of friends. The victim fled on foot and Westensee chased after him. When he eventually caught up to the victim, he stabbed him three times in the torso.
Westensee and his two companions fled the scene, but the victim and his four associates remained at the scene and called 911.
Police are continuing to interview the eight individuals who were involved in the incident. While the investigation is ongoing, the victim's name is not being released. However, Police can confirm that the victim is a 28-year old Medford resident. He remains at Rogue Regional Medical Center and is in stable condition.

We are mountain people. We are innovators. We are the builders of our products.
Our designs and products are born from our mountain experiences. We are as passionate about our gear as we are about the mountains. We build products that we use.
The belief that there is always a better way fuels our drive to create . Even though we are setting new industry standards with our products- we know we can make them even better and we will.
We take pride in building each product as if it were our own gear. Our products are built with our own hands. By riders for riders.
We love the mountains. We love creating. We love building our products in North Bend, Washington.
Our ambassadors are world class athletes, mountain guides and advocates for Karakoram. Every athlete we work with approached us about trying our gear and we are honored to have some of the best freeriders in the world riding Karakoram bindings.
Karakoram ambassadors test our gear all over the globe in the harshest conditions, from splitboarding in the polar lands of the Arctic Circle to exploring the desolation of Antarctica, climbing the highest peak in North America to riding endless pow in Japan, touring backyard stashes to claiming first descents. If we haven't put our gear through harshest tests first, our ambassadors are sure to do it for us.
Splitboarding is snowboarding in it 's purest form. It 's about scoring the line you've eyed for years, riding untracked pow with friends, earning your turns and coming home safe. Splitboarding is not about the biggest trick or who is sponsored, splitboarding is best described by Craig Kelly's words- "the simple rider who's out there just for the experience." #WeAreSplitboarding is dedicated to the splitboard community, the people who live and breathe mountain life. We are a small but growing community of passionate backcountry snowboarders. We are splitboarding, here are our stories:
(we are splitboarding stories)
Why are you a splitboarder?
Well the snow is better, the lines are more challenging, the terrain more varied, and things never get that tracked out. I mean it also keeps me from being arrested, because of how badly I want to hit the guy in the lift-line who is smoking, and yelling, and then leaves his crushed beer can on the ground *grin*. However, that aside, I do have to say that being able to get away from people, the noise, and all of the distractions that make a lot of resorts feel like extensions of the city is a big part of why I am out there. As a rider it has exposed me to deeper snow, more challenging riding, and a very different community. I think all of that can be seen in the way that back country riding is now far more of a life-style for me rather than simply being something I do a few days every winter.
Why are you a splitboarder? How has splitboarding changed you as a snowboarder?
I love snowboarding, the backcountry, solitude and the mountains. The progression to splitting was very natural. Splitboarding has allowed me to expand my knowledge as a snowboarder, and taken me to places I could never have gone on a regular snowboard. Once I started splitting, it reshaped how I viewed snowboarding. Now when I think of snowboarding, I think about the backcountry and where my next tour is going to be, not about riding at the resorts.
Why are you a splitboarder? How has splitboarding changed you as a snowboarder?
Splitboarding truly allows me the freedom to ride untracked powder and explore the peace and serenity of the backcountry. I like the complete experience of climbing as well as riding my line. While splitboarding I can experience a sort of intimacy with the mountain that you can't get doing sled laps or riding a lift. You really earn that view from the peak and a cold beer with friends at the end of a big day. I also splitboard so I can bring my dogs along.
How did you get into splitboarding?
After a few years of snowshoeing around the Tahoe backcountry I saw people starting to split board and saw a bunch of splits in movies and was just like yeah if the technology is there, it will ride like a normal snowboard, and I can put miles behind me!? Yeah that's what I want to do.
How long have you been splitboarding?
First year on the ol' split.

Oh, and should we ban people who use the word "banning" in thread titles? Personally, I think we should. I suggest starting with smug limies who borrow other people's cats for their usernames.
A point, but since I'm the instigator, picking on a destitute and very ill old man who just wants to spend his final moments peacefully attacking and threatening people between boughts of football dementia, I should just be banned. Hijack you cat name theft character.
People who ask to do polls about banning should be banned to the British Isles. Wales would be a good place.
Wales is far from London, so I have no problem with you sending people there. What about Utah, though? Wouldn't that be a fate worse than death? At least Wales is green and beautiful.
Behave! I have my own opinions about the you/NEM thing but I'm keeping 'em to myself. BTW, I never realised you were destitute and very ill. :rofl:
Picking on Utah, huh? You thread-hijacker. We have a really good thread going, and you have to launch personal attacks on people from Utah. LOL
I tried prostitute and very ill, but I wasn't making any money, O mirror image of a charmingly handsome and buff box_o_rocks.
Ooops! I soooo should have checked before disparaging Utah. Bear in mind I have never been west of Ireland. I thought of salt lakes and stuff. Sorry!
So, he's not the Prince of Wales? Next thing you'll be telling me is that there is no King of Queens.
Look, quit while you're behind! Before I continue with my insults, are you able to ban me? Prince is sh*t, but then I never watch the half time "entertainment". It's for the casual "fans" who wouldn't know Cover 2 if it slapped them in the face with a wet fish.
No, not unless you post porn stuff at the Ladies Lounge. And then after a long and deliberate process of inspecting all of the evidence. I could challenge you to a self banning poll* but that didn't any answer when I tried it recently. I'm sure that you would accept and get Mike as a second.:rofl: *see link attached to my sig.

Hi Folks
I'm Andy, have just come back to owning a Ford after a gap of a couple of years. I'm now driving a 51 Mondeo Estate Lx.
Cracking buy, a 2 owner car with full Ford history, a bargain I couldn't miss. Last Ford was another Mondeo but the V6 Ghia X and I missed it!
Bought this new one just for the load space and obviously the reliability of the Mondeo. They are a cracking motor on all counts

Congratulations are in order to Dean Loumos and Ledell Zellers, two Madison, Wisconsin Green Party members who were elected yesterday to the Madison School Board and the Madison Common Council, respectively!
There was good news in other parts of Wisconsin as well: Rae Vogeler, a former Green Party candidate for the U.S. Senate, was elected to the Oregon School Board. And the voters of Fort Atkinson and Whitewater both joined the Move to Amend by voting overwhelmingly (84% and 77%) for the We the People Amendment (see http://www.WethePeopleAmendment.org).
We thank all of the Greens who ran for office in Madison this Spring.
Thanks to CJ Terrell, Damon Terrell, Barbara Davis, Christian Hanson, Sarah Manski, Leslie Peterson and Hawk Sullivan, each of whom ran strong campaigns we can be proud of. Sarah Manski, who won her primary with 45% of the vote, withdrew from the race shortly after the primary for family reasons, yet still won a third of the general election vote from diehard supporters.
Now on to elections in Chicago and Washington D.C.!

attempted to board her; but a sudden discharge of her guns disconcerted them. The following day the vessel dropped down to the mouth of the straits, where she was detained six days by calms. Meantime, Pontiac determining to destroy her, for this purpose floated down burning rafts, which were constructed of the timbers from barns destroyed by the Indians, dry pine, and a quantity of pitch added, to make the whole more combustible. 303 Notwithstanding two such rafts were constructed and sent down the river, the vessel and boats escaped them. A breeze springing up on the 30th of June, the vessel was enabled to hoist sail, and reached the fort in safety. General Amherst, the commander-in-chief, though weakened by the force withdrawn for the Indian war in the west, was fully sensible of the perilous position of the western posts, in consequence of the Indian hostility, and prepared to send at the earliest period, reinforcements to Forts Pitt, Niagara, and Detroit. The relief destined for the latter post was placed under the orders of his secretary, Captain Dalzell, who, after relieving Niagara, proceeded to Detroit in armed batteaux, at the head of a force of 300 men. To the joy of all concerned, this reinforcement arrived at Detroit on the 30th of July, when the place had been besieged upwards of fifty days. Captain Dalzell, who brought this timely accession to the garrison, proposed a night assault on Pontiac's camp, which the commandant assented to, not, however, without some misgivings. Two hundred and fifty men were selected for this duty, and, with this force Captain Dalzell left the fort, as secretly as possible, at half-past two o'clock on the morning of the 31st. At the same time, two boats were despatched to keep pace with the party, and, if necessary, take off the wounded. The darkness of the night rendered it somewhat difficult to discern the way, and made it a task for them to keep the proper distance between the platoons. After marching about two miles, when the vanguard had reached the bridge over the stream, which has since been known as Bloody Brook, a sudden fire was poured in by the Indians, which created a temporary panic among the troops, from which, however, they recovered. The intense darkness completely obscuring the enemy, a retreat was ordered; when it appeared that there was a heavy force in the rear, through which the column had been allowed to pass. The English were, in fact, in the midst of a well-planned ambuscade. Dalzell displayed the utmost bravery and spirit in this emergency, but was soon shot down and killed. Grant, on whom the command devolved, was severely wounded. The Indians were concealed behind the wooden picketing, which lined the fields, and sheltered the buildings of the habitans; but as the day began to dawn, the troops were enabled to discern their perilous position. They then embarked some of their wounded in the boats which had accompanied them, and, concentrating their forces, retreated toward the gates of the fort, which they entered in compact order. The loss in this attack was seventy men killed, including the commander, and forty wounded; being
