The Christmas season,[2][3] also called the holiday season (especially in the U.S. and Canada),[4][5] the festive season,[6] or simply the holidays, is an annually recurring period recognized in many Western and Western-influenced countries that is generally considered to run from late November to early January,[7][8][9] defined as incorporating at least Christmas and usually New Year, and sometimes various other holidays and festivals. It incorporates a period of shopping which comprises a peak season for the retail sector (the "Christmas (or holiday) shopping season"), and a period of sales at the end of the season (the "January sales"). Christmas window displays and Christmas tree lighting ceremonies when trees decorated with ornaments and light bulbs are illuminated, are traditions in many areas.
Originally, the term "Christmas season" was considered synonymous with Christmastide,[10][11] a term associated with Yuletide, which runs from December 25 (Christmas Day) to January 6 (Epiphany), popularly known as the 12 Days of Christmas. However, as the economic impact involving the anticipatory lead-up to Christmas Day grew in America and Europe into the 19th and 20th centuries, the term "Christmas season" began to become synonymous instead with the traditional Christian Advent season,[11][12] the period observed in Western Christianity from the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day until Christmas Day itself. The term "Advent calendar" survives in secular Western parlance as a term referring to a countdown to Christmas Day from the beginning of December.
Beginning in the mid-20th century, as the Christian-associated Christmas holiday became increasingly secularized and central to American economics and culture while religio-multicultural sensitivity rose, generic references to the season that omitted the word "Christmas" became more common in the corporate and public sphere of the United States,[13] which has caused a semantics controversy[14] that continues to the present. By the late 20th century, the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah and the African American cultural holiday of Kwanzaa began to be considered in the U.S. as being part of the "holiday season", a term that as of 2013 has become equally or more prevalent than "Christmas season" in U.S. sources to refer to the end-of-the-year festive period.[13][15][16] "Holiday season" has also spread in varying degrees to Canada[17] and Australasia,[18][19] however in the United Kingdom and Ireland, the phrase "holiday season" is not widely understood to be synonymous with the Christmas–New Year period, and is often instead associated with summer holidays.[20]
Saturnalia was an ancient Roman festival in honor of the deity Saturn, held on December 17 of the Julian calendar and later expanded with festivities through December 23. The holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn, in the Roman Forum, and a public banquet, followed by private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere that overturned Roman social norms: gambling was permitted, and masters provided table service for their slaves.[21] The poet Catullus called it "the best of days."[22]

The tradition of celebrating the birth of Christ on the 25th of December appears to date from the 4th century when Christianity was adopted as the official religion of the Roman Empire.
In the Christian tradition the Christmas season is a period beginning on Christmas Day (25 December). In some churches (e.g. the Anglican Communion) the season continues until the day before the Epiphany, which is celebrated either on 6 January or on the Sunday between 2 and 8 January. In other churches (e.g. the Roman Catholic Church) it continues until the feast of the Baptism of the Lord, which falls on the Sunday following the Epiphany, or on the Monday following the Epiphany if the Epiphany is moved to 7 or 8 January. If the Epiphany is kept on 6 January, the Church of England's use of the term Christmas season corresponds to the Twelve Days of Christmas, and ends on Twelfth Night.
This short Christmas season is preceded by Advent, which begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day: the majority of the secularized Christmas and holiday season falls during Advent. The Anglican Communion and some Protestant churches follow the Christmas season with an Epiphany season which lasts until Shrove Tuesday which is also known as Mardi Gras or 'Fat Tuesday'. Other European cultures have their own carnival festivities between new year and Lent.
According to Yanovski et al.,[8] in the United States the holiday season "is generally considered to begin with the day after Thanksgiving and end after New Year's Day". According to Axelrad,[9] the season in the United States encompasses at least Christmas and New Year's Day, and also includes Saint Nicholas Day. The U.S. Fire Administration[23] defines the "Winter Holiday Season" as the period from December 1 to January 7. According to Chen et al.,[24] in China the Christmas and holiday season "is generally considered to begin with the winter solstice and end after the Lantern Festival". Some stores and shopping malls advertise their Christmas merchandise beginning after Halloween or even in late October, alongside Halloween items. In the UK and Ireland, Christmas food generally appears on supermarket shelves as early as September or even August, while the Christmas shopping season itself starts from mid November when the high street Christmas lights are switched on.[25][26]
The precise definition of feasts and festival days that are encompassed by the Christmas and holiday season has become controversial in the U.S. over recent decades. While in other countries the only holidays included in the "season" are Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, St. Stephen's Day/Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and Epiphany, in recent times, this definition in the U.S. has begun to expand to include Yule, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Thanksgiving, Festivus and Black Friday.[27] Due to the phenomenon of Christmas creep and the informal inclusion of Thanksgiving, the Christmas and holiday season has begun to extend earlier into the year, overlapping Halloween and Guy Fawkes Night in commonwealth countries. Radio stations in North America typically begin playing Christmas music in the middle of October, shortly before American Halloween[citation needed]. Similarly, Valentine's Day and Easter products are available in many shops even before Christmas[citation needed].

The exchange of gifts is central to the Christmas and holiday season, and the season thus also incorporates a "holiday shopping season". This comprises a peak time for the retail sector at the start of the holiday season (the "Christmas shopping season") and a period of sales at the end of the season, the "January sales".
Although once dedicated mostly to white sales and clearance sales, the January sales now comprise both winter close-out sales and sales comprising the redemption of gift cards given as presents.[28][29] Young-Bean Song, director of analytics at the Atlas Institute in Seattle, states that it is a "myth that the holiday shopping season starts with Thanksgiving and ends with Christmas. January is a key part of the holiday season." stating that for the U.S. e-commerce sector January sales volumes matched December sales volumes in the 2004/2005 Christmas and holiday season.[30]
Many people find this time particularly stressful.[31] As a remedy, and as a return to what they perceive as the root of Christmas, some practice alternative giving.
In the United States, the holiday season is a particularly important time for retail shopping, with shoppers spending more than $600 billion during the 2013 holiday season, averaging about $767 per person. During the 2014 holiday shopping season, retail sales in the United States are forecast to increase to a total of over $616 billion, up from 2013's $602 billion. The average US holiday shopper is expected to spend over $800, of which close to 73 percent will be in gifts.[citation needed]
It is traditionally considered to commence on the day after American Thanksgiving, a Friday colloquially known as either Black Friday or Green Friday. This is widely reputed to be the busiest shopping day of the entire calendar year. However, in 2004 the VISA credit card organization reported that over the previous several years VISA credit card spending had in fact been 8 to 19 percent higher on the last Saturday before Christmas Day (i.e., Super Saturday) than on Black Friday.[32] A survey conducted in 2005 by GfK NOP discovered that "Americans aren't as drawn to Black Friday as many retailers may think.", with only 17% of those polled saying that they will begin holiday shopping immediately after Thanksgiving, 13% saying that they plan to finish their shopping before November 24, and 10% waiting until the very last day before performing their holiday gift shopping.[33]
According to a survey by the Canadian Toy Association, peak sales in the toy industry occur in the Christmas and holiday season, but this peak has been occurring later and later in the season every year.[34]
In 2005, the ceremonial kick-off to the Christmas and holiday season for online shopping, the first Monday after US Thanksgiving, was named Cyber Monday. However, although it was a peak, that was not the busiest on-line shopping day of that year. The busiest on-line shopping days were December 12 and December 13, almost two weeks later; the second Monday in December has since become known as Green Monday. Another notable day is Free Shipping Day, a promotional day that serves as the last day in which a person can order a good online and have it arrive via standard shipping (the price of which the sender pays) prior to Christmas Eve; this day is usually on or near December 16.[35] Four of the largest 11 on-line shopping days in 2005 were December 11 to 16, with an increase of 12% over 2004 figures.[36] In 2011, Cyber Monday was slightly busier than Green Monday and Free Shipping Day, although all three days registered sales of over US$1 billion, and all three days registered gains ranging from 14% to 22% over the previous year.[35] Analysts had predicted the peak on December 12, noting that Mondays are the most popular days for on-line shopping during the holiday shopping season, in contrast to the middle of the week during the rest of the year. They attribute this to people "shopping in stores and malls on the weekends, and [...] extending that shopping experience when they get into work on Monday" by "looking for deals, [...] comparison shopping and [...] finding items that were out of stock in the stores".[30]
In 2006, the average US household was expected to spend about $1,700 on Christmas and holiday spendings.[37] Retail strategists such as ICSC Research[38] observed in 2005 that 15% of holiday expenditures were in the form of gift certificates and that that share of expenditures was rising. On the basis of that they recommended to retailers a strategy of managing their inventories for the entire holiday shopping season with a leaner inventory at the beginning of the season and the addition of fresh winter merchandise for the January sales.
Michael P. Niemira, chief economist and director of research for the Shopping Center Council, states that he expects gift certificate usage to be between US$30billion and US$40billion in the 2006/2007 holiday shopping season. On the basis of the growing popularity of gift certificates, he states that "To get a true picture of holiday sales, one may consider measuring October, November, December and January sales combined as opposed to just November and December sales.", because with "a hefty amount of that spending not hitting the books until January, extending the length of the season makes sense".[39]
According to the Deloitte 2007 Holiday Survey,[40] for the fourth straight year, gift cards are expected to be the top gift purchase in 2007, with more than two-thirds (69 percent) of consumers surveyed planning to buy them, compared with 66 percent in 2006. In addition, holiday shoppers are planning to buy even more cards this year: an average of 5.5 cards, compared with the 4.6 cards they planned to buy last year. One in six consumers (16 percent) plan to buy 10 or more cards, compared with 11 percent last year. Consumers are also spending more in total on gift cards and more per card: $36.25 per card on average compared with $30.22 last year. Gift cards continue to grow in acceptance: Almost four in 10 consumers surveyed (39 percent) would rather get a gift card than merchandise, an increase from last year's 35 percent. Also, resistance to giving gift cards continues to decline: 19 percent say they don't like to give gift cards because they're too impersonal (down from 22 percent last year). Consumers said that the cards are popular gifts for adults, teens and children alike, and almost half (46 percent) intend to buy them for immediate family; however, they are hesitant to buy them for spouses or significant others, with only 14 percent saying they plan to buy them for those recipients.
Some stores in Canada hold Boxing Week sales (before the end of the year) for income tax purposes.
What has become known as "Christmas creep" refers to a merchandising phenomenon in which merchants and retailers exploit the commercialized status of Christmas by moving up the start of the holiday shopping season.[41] The term was first used in the mid-1980s,[42] and is associated with a desire of merchants to take advantage of particularly heavy Christmas-related shopping well before Black Friday in the United States and before Halloween in Canada.
The term is not used in the UK and Ireland, where retailers call Christmas the "golden quarter", that is, the three months of October through December is the quarter of the year in which the retail industry hopes to make the most profit.[43] It can apply for other holidays as well, notably Valentine's Day, Easter and Mother's Day.
In the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom, the Christmas shopping season starts from mid-November, around the time when high street Christmas lights are turned on.[25][26] In the UK in 2010, up to £8 billion was expected to be spent online at Christmas, approximately a quarter of total retail festive sales.[26] Retailers in the UK call Christmas the "golden quarter", that is, the three months of October to December is the quarter of the year in which the retail industry hopes to make most money.[43] In Ireland, around early December or late November each year, The Late Late Toy Show is broadcast on Irish television, which features all the popular toys throughout the year being demonstrated and showcased before the holiday season and shopping sprees commence.
The Netherlands and Belgium have a double holiday. The first one, the arrival of the Bishop Saint Nicholas and Black Peter, starts about mid November, with presents being given on December 5 or 6. This is a separate holiday from Christmas, Bishop Saint Nick (Sinterklaas) and Santa Claus (Kerstman) being different people. Netherlands and Belgium often do not start the Christmas season until December 6 or 7, i.e. after Sinterklaas has finished.
In France, the January sales are restricted by legislation to no more than four weeks in Paris, and no more than six weeks for the rest of the country, usually beginning on the first Wednesday in January, and are one of only two periods of the year when retailers are permitted to hold sales.[44][45]
In Italy, the January sales begin on the first weekend in January, and last for at least six weeks.[44]
In Germany, the Winterschlussverkauf (winter sale before the season ends) was one of two official sales periods (the other being the Sommerschlussverkauf, the summer sales). It begins on the last Monday in January and lasts for 12 days, selling left-over goods from the holiday shopping season, as well as the winter collections. However, unofficially, goods are sold at reduced prices by many stores throughout the whole of January. By the time the sales officially begin the only goods left on sale are low-quality ones, often specially manufactured for the sales.[46][47] Since a legislative reform to the corresponding law in 2004,[48] season sales are now allowed over the whole year and are no longer restricted to season-related goods. However, voluntary sales still called "Winterschlussverkauf" take place further on in most stores at the same time every year.
In Sweden, where the first Sunday of Advent marks the start of the Christmas and holiday season, continuing with Saint Lucy's Day on 13 December, followed up by Christmas before the Mellandagsrea (between days sell off) begins on 27 December (nowadays often 26 December or even 25 December) and lasts during the rest of the Christmas holiday. It is similar to Black Friday, but lasts longer. They last 34–35 days. The Swedish Christmas and holiday season continues over Epiphany, and ends on St. Knut's Day.
In Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia, holiday sales starts in the middle of December and last for at least one month.
A selection of goodwill greetings are often used around the world to address strangers, family, colleagues or friends during the season. Some greetings are more prevalent than others, depending on culture and location. Traditionally, the predominant greetings of the season have been "Merry Christmas", "Happy Christmas", and "Happy New Year". In the mid-to-late 20th century in the United States, more generic greetings such as "Happy Holidays" and "Season's Greetings" began to rise in cultural prominence, and this would later spread to other Western countries including Canada, Australia and to a lesser extent some European countries. A 2012 poll by Rasmussen Reports indicated that 68% of Americans prefer the use of "Merry Christmas", while 23% preferred "Happy Holidays".[14] A similarly-timed Canadian poll conducted by Ipsos-Reid indicated that 72% of Canadians preferred "Merry Christmas".[17]
The greetings and farewells "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Christmas" are traditionally used in English-speaking countries, starting a few weeks before Christmas (25 December) each year.
Variations are:
These greetings and their equivalents in other languages are popular not only in countries with large Christian populations but also in the largely non-Christian nations of China and Japan, where Christmas is celebrated primarily due to cultural influences of predominantly Christian countries. They have somewhat decreased in popularity in the United States and Canada in recent decades, but polls in 2005 indicated that they remained more popular than "Happy Holidays" or other alternatives.[49]
"Merry", derived from the Old English myrige, originally meant merely "pleasant, agreeable" rather than joyous or jolly (as in the phrase "merry month of May").[50] Christmas has been celebrated since the 4th century AD, the first known usage of any Christmas greeting dates was in 1565, when it appeared in The Hereford Municipal Manuscript: "And thus I comytt you to God, who send you a mery Christmas."[50] "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" (thus incorporating two greetings) was in an informal letter written by an English admiral in 1699. The same phrase is contained in the 16th century secular English carol "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," and the first commercial Christmas card, produced in England in 1843.
Also in 1843, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol was published, during the mid Victorian revival of the holiday. The word Merry was then beginning to take on its current meaning of "jovial, cheerful, jolly and outgoing".[50] "Merry Christmas" in this new context figured prominently in A Christmas Carol. The cynical Ebenezer Scrooge rudely deflects the friendly greeting: "If I could work my will.. every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding."[51] After the visit from the Ghosts of Christmas effects his transformation, Scrooge exclaims; "I am as merry as a school-boy. A merry Christmas to everybody!" and heartily exchanges the wish to all he meets.[52] The instant popularity of A Christmas Carol, the Victorian era Christmas traditions it typifies, and the term's new meaning appearing in the book popularized the phrase "Merry Christmas".[53][54]
The alternative "Happy Christmas" gained usage in the late 19th century, and in Great Britain and Ireland is the common wish, rather than "Merry Christmas". One reason may be the Victorian middle class influence in attempting to separate wholesome celebration of the Christmas season from public insobriety and associated asocial behaviour, at a time when merry also meant "intoxicated" – Queen Elizabeth II is said to prefer "Happy Christmas" for this reason.[50] In her annual Christmas messages to the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth has used "happy Christmas" far more often than "merry Christmas".[55]
In the American poet Clement Moore's "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (1823), the final line, originally written as "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night", has been changed in many later editions to "Merry Christmas to all", perhaps indicating the relative popularity of the phrases in the USA.
In the United States, "Happy Holidays" (along with the similarly generalized "Season's Greetings") has become a common holiday greeting in the public sphere of department stores, public schools and greeting cards. Its use is generally confined to the period between United States Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. American use of the term "Happy Holidays" to replace "Merry Christmas" dates back at least to the 1970s[56] and was a common phrase relating to the Christmas season at least going back to the 1890s.[57] The term may have gained further popularity with the Irving Berlin song "Happy Holiday" (introduced in the 1942 film Holiday Inn).
In the United States, it can have several variations and meanings:[citation needed]
The increasing usage of "Happy Holidays" has been the subject of some controversy in the United States. Advocates claim that "Happy Holidays" is an inclusive greeting that is not intended as an attack on Christianity or other religions, but is rather a response to what they say is the reality of a growing non-Christian population.
Critics of "Happy Holidays" generally claim it is a secular neologism. The greeting may be deemed materialistic, consumerist, atheistic, indifferentist, agnostic, politically correct and/or anti-Christian. Critics of the phrase have associated it with a larger cultural clash termed the "War on Christmas."[58] However, some Christians, concerned that the 20th century conflation of St. Nicholas Day (December 6), Christmas (December 25), and Epiphany (January 6) has subsumed the meaning of Christmas itself, have taken to using "Happy Holidays" and "Season's Greetings" throughout the season, reserving "Merry Christmas" for December 25.[citation needed]
"Season's Greetings" is a greeting more commonly used as a motto on winter season greeting cards, and in commercial advertisements, than as a spoken phrase. In addition to "Merry Christmas", Victorian Christmas cards bore a variety of salutations, including "Compliments of the Season" and "Christmas Greetings." By the late 19th century, "With the Season's Greetings" or simply "The Season's Greetings" began appearing. By the 1920s it had been shortened to "Season's Greetings,"[59] and has been a greeting card fixture ever since. Several White House Christmas cards, including U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower's 1955 card, have featured the phrase.[60]
Various studies have been performed on the effects of the Christmas and holiday season, which encompasses several feast days, on health. They have concluded that the health changes that occur during the Christmas and holiday season are not reversed during the rest of the year and have a long-term cumulative effect over a person's life, and that the risks of several medical problems increase during the Christmas and holiday season.
Yanovski et al.[8] investigated the assertion that the average American gains weight over the season. They found that average weight gain over the Christmas and holiday season is around 0.48 kg (1 lb). They also found that this weight gain is not reversed over the rest of the year, and concluded that this "probably contributes to the increase in body weight that frequently occurs during adulthood" (cf Lent).
Chan et al.[24] investigated the increases in A1C and fasting plasma glucose in type 2 diabetic patients, to see whether these increases were steady throughout the year or varied seasonally. They concluded that the winter holidays did influence the glycemic control of the patients, with the largest increases being during that period, increases that "might not be reversed during the summer and autumn months".
The Christmas and holiday season, according to a survey by the ADA, is the second most popular reason, after birthdays, for sharing food in the workplace. The British Columbia Safety Council states that if proper food safety procedures are not followed, food set out for sharing in the workplace can serve as a breeding ground for bacteria, and recommends that perishable foods (for which it gives pizza, cold cuts, dips, salads, and sandwiches as examples) should not sit out for more than 2 hours.[61]
A survey conducted in 2005 found shopping caused headaches in nearly a quarter of people and sleeplessness in 11 percent.[31]
Phillips et al.[62] investigated whether some or all of the spike in cardiac mortality that occurs during December and January could be ascribed to the Christmas/New Year's holidays rather than to climatic factors. They concluded that the Christmas and holiday season is "a risk factor for cardiac and noncardiac mortality", stating that there are "multiple explanations for this association, including the possibility that holiday-induced delays in seeking treatment play a role in producing the twin holiday spikes".
The Asthma Society of Canada[63] states that the Christmas and holiday season increases exposure to irritants because people spend 90% of their time indoors, and that seasonal decorations in the home introduce additional, further, irritants beyond the ones that exist all year around. It recommends that asthmatics avoid scented candles, for example, recommending either that candles not be lit or that soy or beeswax candles be employed.
According to the Stanford Recycling Center[64] Americans throw away 25% more trash during the Christmas and holiday season than at other times of the year.
Because of the cold weather in the Northern Hemisphere, the Christmas and holiday season (as well as the second half of winter) is a time of increased use of fuel for domestic heating. This has prompted concerns in the United Kingdom about the possibility of a shortage in the domestic gas supply. However, in the event of an exceptionally long cold season, it is industrial users, signed on to interruptible supply contracts, who would find themselves without gas supply.[65]
The U.S. Fire Administration[23] states that the Christmas and holiday season is "a time of elevated risk for winter heating fires" and that the fact that many people celebrate the different holidays during the Christmas and holiday season by decorating their homes with seasonal garlands, electric lights, candles, and banners, has the potential to change the profile of fire incidence and cause. The Government of Alberta Ministry of Municipal Affairs[66] states that candle-related fires rise by 140% during the Christmas and holiday season, with most fires involving human error and most deaths and injuries resulting from the failure to extinguish candles before going to bed. It states that consumers don't expect candle holders to tip over or to catch fire, assuming that they are safe, but that in fact candle holders can do this.
Because of increased alcohol consumption at festivities and poorer road conditions during the winter months, alcohol-related road traffic accidents increase over the Christmas and holiday season.[67]
This section requires expansion. (June 2008) |
In the United States, the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has had significant legal impact upon the activities of governments and of state-funded public schools during and relating to the Christmas and holiday season, and has been the source of controversy.
Public schools are subject to what the Anti-Defamation League terms the "December Dilemma",[68] namely the task of "acknowledging the various religious and secular holiday traditions celebrated during that time of year" whilst restricting observances of the various religious festivals to what is constitutionally permissible. The ADL and many school district authorities have published guidelines for schools and for teachers.[69] For example: The directive on maintaining religious neutrality in public schools over the Christmas and holiday season, given to public school administrators in the District of Columbia by the Superintendent,[70] contains several points on what may and may not be taught in the D.C. school district, the themes of parties and concerts, the uses of religious symbols, the locations of school events and classes and prayer.
In 2002, for the Christmas and holiday season, Moscow mayor Yuriy Luzhkov ordered all stores, restaurants, cafés and markets to display seasonal decorations and lights in their windows and interiors from 1 December onwards. Banks, post offices and public institutions were to do the same from 15 December, with violators liable for fines of up to 200 rubles. Every business was ordered to have illuminated windows during the hours of 16:30 until 01:00. This caused a mixed reaction, with people objecting to being forced to put up decorations.[71]
Ottawa shoppers are in the mood to spend this holiday season and could drop as much as $3.2 billion in retailers' tills, a new survey has found.
John Lewis, too, has reported a fantastic start to the Christmas season, with sales up nearly 6 per cent on a year ago.
ignored (help)And so does the culture, with a commercializing of himself that Santa deplores even as he has watched the holiday season creep back to Labor Day.
The term Christmas creep was first used in the mid-eighties, though gained wider recognition more recently, possibly due to subsequent coinage of the expression mission creep.

The origins of Late Quaternary debris avalanche and debris flow deposits from Cofre de Perote volcano, Mexico
Rodolfo Daz-Castelln et al., Centro de Geociencias, Universidad Nacional Autnoma de Mxico (UNAM), Campus Juriquilla, 76230 Quertaro, Mxico. Posted online 16 July 2012; doi: 10.1130/GES708.1.
Cofre de Perote volcano is a compound, shield-like volcano located in the northeastern Trans-Mexican volcanic belt. Large debris avalanche and lahar deposits are associated with the evolution of Cofre. The two best preserved of these debris-avalanche and debris-flow deposits are the ~42,000-year-old Los Pescados debris flow deposit and the ~11,000- to 13,000-year-old Xico avalanche deposit, both of which display contrasting morphological and textural characteristics, source materials, origins and emplacement environments. Rodolfo Das-Castelln and colleagues used multiple analytical techniques to identify the most abundant clay, sulfate, ferric-iron, and silica minerals in the deposits, which were either related to hydrothermal alteration or chemical weathering processes. They next used cloud-free Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) remote se

Arizona Cardinals
Report: Todd Haley views Cardinals as 'great opportunity'
According to reports Thursday, the Arizona Cardinals had asked the Pittsburgh Steelers for permission to interview offensive coordinator Todd Haley for their head coaching vacancy.
Haley was the offensive coordinator in Arizona for the 2007 and 2008 seasons before leaving to be the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, and he made some sense as a candidate.
However, early Friday a report circulated that Haley had not yet agreed to speak with the Cardinals, perhaps in part because of his affinity for working for the Steelers.
According to Arizona Sports 620's Paul Calvisi, it looks like you can disregard that report.
Per NFL source: "don't believe" ESPN report on Todd Haley.I'm told he views AZ Cardinals head coaching spot as a "great opportunity.."
— Paul Calvisi (@PaulCalvisi) January 4, 2013
The Cardinals are currently scheduled to chat with Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy Saturday, and as of yet nothing is known to be on the docket with Haley.
That may change shortly.

Most of us use a checklist to keep track of what we need to accomplish. Some are informal — maybe just a mental list of what we need from the grocery store. A checklist can also be more formal and in writing. Indeed, many professions mandate use of a checklist. For example, a pilot must run through a safety checklist before taking off and a surgeon must complete one before making an incision.
On Sunday evening I sat down at my computer, as is my routine, to check my clinical responsibilities for the upcoming week, as well as to see what meetings, proposals and deadlines were coming up. On this particular evening, my heart sank as I thought about the difficult five or six days ahead, which would be full of clinical complexity, serious family issues, and a number of proposals and presentations.
Given my long to-do list, I was tempted to skip or cut short my usual morning workout and go to work early. However, a little voice reminded me that my health and well-being should be at the top of my list. When we neglect ourselves and become tired, irritable and overwhelmed, we can't be thoughtful, compassionate and engaged individuals.
In other words, we can't give what we don't have. A simple lesson but one most of us struggle with repeatedly. What do other list makers have to add?

IU's Wilson determined to end Hoosiers' disappointment
Kevin Wilson has had a long time to think about his debut season as a college head coach and he's vowed never to experience anything like it again.
"I'm personally embarrassed, and if we're going to win this year significantly and make strides, the first thing that has to happen is I have to coach, and our coaches have to coach better," said Wilson. "I said a year ago that we have got some talent. It's getting the attitude right and the ability of our coaches to reach and understand our talent and make adjustments."
Team leadership and togetherness were commodities in short supply last season, according to Wilson. Add in the Hoosiers' lack of depth and experience on the lines, at receiver, at running back and in the secondary, it's really not surprising that IU failed to win a Big Ten game. But what aggravated Wilson is that the average margin of defeat in the conference was 24.4 points, including a 59-7 loss at eventual league champion Wisconsin at midseason.
IU also was only one of two Big Ten schools to not qualify for a bowl game — Minnesota being the other — and it was the only school from a BCS conference that didn't win at least one game against a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent. Indiana's one win was a 38-21 decision over lower-division South Carolina State of the MEAC.
"I think we'll be better on defense, but we're not at a point physically in year two to play lights-out great defense. We've got to score a lot more points, too. Everybody talks about our D struggling. We averaged 18.1 points — that's as poor an offense as I've been around since 1999.
"So we need to score points because that will help our defense."
After spring drills, Wilson felt like his squad made strides in terms of depth, skill, trust and leadership.
But none of that will mean much if the results on the field don't begin to change when IU opens the season Saturday against Indiana State.
Wilson began addressing some of the Hoosiers' deficiencies — and defections — last season by launching a youth movement by playing a total of 32 freshman, half of which were redshirted players.
Entering this season, the Hoosiers will have 16 returning starters, including three offensive linemen and four defensive linemen.
To bolster the numbers and the level of experience, Wilson and his staff have brought in six junior college transfers, five of which are defensive players. The additions of linebackers Jacarri Alexander and David Cooper improved IU's ability to limit big gains on the ground by opposing teams.
"David Cooper gives us something we need at middle linebacker. Jacarri Alexander at outside linebacker should help us blitz better and contain the run."
Offensively, Tre Roberson, a true freshman who started Indiana's final five games in 2011, will face a battle for the starting job this season from another Juco transfer, Cameron Coffman.
Roberson was athletic enough to get himself out of trouble when teams blitzed last season, but his passing efficiency left a lot to be desired. Roberson completed just 57 percent of his throws for 937 yards and three touchdowns with six interceptions.
"We're not going to be a good team in the Big Ten with average quarterback play," said Wilson.
Coffman, a transfer from Arizona Western who has three years of eligibility remaining, passed for 2,244 yards and 21 touchdowns with just six picks. Wilson also is high on Modesto, Calif., freshman Nate Sudfeld, who threw for 2,400 yards and 29 touchdowns last season.

Ceremony: O-ver-ra-ted. Played out, too. Three NYC shows? Talk about Matador Records forcing a band on people. Yo Matador how much did you pay to have Ceremony open for Refused and Screaming Females? LOL.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Rev. Avery Caesar Alexander (29 June 1910 – 5 March 1999) was a Louisiana civil rights leader and politician. He graduated from Union Baptist Theological Seminary and was ordained into the ministry in 1944. He was elected to the Louisiana House of Representatives as a Democrat in 1975 and served in that office until his death.[1]
He participated in voter registration drives in Louisiana prior to passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. He helped organize boycotts against businesses in New Orleans which did not hire blacks, including a successful boycott to force the monopoly utility and transit company to hire black bus drivers.
Rev. Alexander participated in several marches with Martin Luther King, Jr., and in sit-ins to integrate lunch counters. In a well-publicized and videotaped incident in the basement cafeteria at City Hall in 1963, he was arrested and dragged upstairs by the heels.[2] In a similar incident in 1993, police used a chokehold to subdue Rev. Alexander when he participated in a protest against David Duke at a Liberty Monument ceremony in New Orleans after Alexander repeatedly crossed police lines separating protesters and celebrants.
In 1999 McDonogh #39 School on Saint Roch Avenue was renamed after him. Charity Hospital's official name is Avery C. Alexander Memorial Hospital.

Alfred N'Diaye: "The manager was angry. This is normal - we lost 6-1."He said that we need to work more. We need to work more this week to beat Stoke, and he said that to us."It is not normal to lose by five goals, it is not normal to lose six goals in one game."It was a bad day. It was a very bad day for us, and I do not know why."You can't concede six goals in one game, it is just not normal. We are back in the relegation fight."

I've been reading through forum posts and it seems like the most common solution is that people purchase the Metra pocket to fill the space left over when they install a single DIN stereo to replace the factory double DIN. However, I am finding it more difficult than it should be to find the Metra kit anywhere. Any help there would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I have an older replacement stereo that I want to throw in because the CD player on the factory unit is acting up and the replacement stereo has an aux jack for my Ipod. Anyway, the replacement stereo has no mounting brackets on it. How do I secure the aftermarket stereo into place?
If anyone has any pics of what theirs looks like or any advice I would be grateful. I want to try and get the parts ordered and get this done soon. Thanks!

I resent the remarks you made about Sheriff Ron Hewett. I know who you are by the expression you stated in your opening remarks. Just a word for you. Ronald Hewett was THE Sheriff of Brunswick County. He should still BE the Sheriff of Brunswick County. But, THINGS happen for a reason. Ron Hewett will be the better person in the end, because he has endured. At least he is not a wantabe. He HAS held the office. Be careful of the words you spew to another because those same words will be hard to swallow when you have to eat them. »

Soup and Salad — Meatless Monday
by Maria Russo in Recipes, February 27th, 2012Though it's a timeless vegetarian combination, soup-and-salad lunches and dinners do not have to be basic, boring meals featuring predictable dishes. Food Network Magazine puts a twist on traditional favorites using vibrant, in-season ingredients, fragrant herbs and spices and bold textures to ensure its soup and salad recipes are anything but ordinary.
Filled with good-for-you vegetables, each hearty bowl of Food Network Magazine's Slow-Cooker Sweet Potato and Lentil Soup (pictured above) is bursting with the warm flavor of curry powder, subtle notes of ginger and plenty of fresh sweet potatoes, carrots, celery and leeks. Before serving, squeeze fresh lemon juice on top of the soup to lighten it and add a bit of refreshing citrus.
While the soup finishes cooking in the slow cooker, prepare Food Network Magazine's Mango-Cucumber Rice Salad (pictured). This lettuce-free salad boasts filling rice and quinoa, crunchy peanuts, smooth chopped mango and a single jalapeno for a touch of heat. Serving up to eight people, one batch of this mixed salad will yield multiple lunches that can easily be packed for the office.
Meatless Monday, an international movement, encourages people everywhere to cut meat one day a week for personal and planetary health. Browse more Meatless Monday recipes.

I moved to the middle of nowhere and miss Ethnic foods. With limited ingredients, it is hard, but sometimes I hit the jackpot. Just happened with Melissa d'Arabian's $10 Dinner Moussaka recipe. Didn't think I would like the potatoes, but it was the best I ever had. Made it with venison instead of ground beef. Bumped up the sweetness by using leftover spaghetti sauce instead of canned tomato sauce. Dee Lish! LOVE her and that show's concept. Has a different meaning for me than just doing things on the cheap. More of using simpler ingredients that I can find! Hooray!
Wow both look delicious, especially the mango cucumber rice salad, I used to make salad with pasta, didn't know rice can also be used in salad. Also mango to be used in salad is something new to me, only eat it as a fruit usually
where is the recipe of this souP? it looks amazing!

rum-lust lips make gentle friends,
words slurred in hands blurred,
burning in between the lines to find
drunken concoction of wilted laughs
and heavy sighs, scented sultry
with desperation.
you are that
rasping in my throat when my voice
deteriorates and I am left breathless
and hopeless and raw, my
muscles ache in memory of the
motions to forget-
we do not let go.
and cold beds call, stability,
metal frames and sunken heads
rest now, rest with
a prayer on your lips you don't
care to share, a dream in
your mind you'll never get back;
rest and the earth will lend you peace
you will stop. the rivers will clean
your bones; the sand will smooth
your tongue; you will stop, brain blank,
as smooth ivory promises persist.
(interpretations mean less than nothing)
you will stop and rest,
at peace.

The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News Digital News Associates Jayce Henderson, Jacqueline Fernandez and Amanda VanAllen
ABC News' Amy Walter: "Romney's GOP Opponents Back off Bain Capital Bashing. But Is That Really A Good Thing for Mitt?" After launching full-throated attacks against Mitt Romney's business record earlier this week, Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich are now backing off the Bain bashing. ABC's Arlette Saenz reports from South Carolina that Perry debuted the term "vulture capitalism" on Tuesday, but by Wednesday afternoon, the line of attack was removed from his speech. Gingrich, according to one GOP source I spoke with, has been getting pressure to lay off the attacks by some of his donors who are worried that it could brand him as anti-capitalist. LINK
The New York Daily News' Aliyah Shahid: "Survey finds 56% of Mormons have faith U.S. will elect a Mormon as President" Many Mormons don't think America is ready for one of their own as President. Just 56% of those who identify themselves as being part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints believe Americans are ready to elect a Mormon to the White House, according to a Pew Research Center survey released Thursday. LINK
The Washington Post's Amy Gardner and Peter Wallsten: "GOP divided over potential impact of Bain attacks" Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney appeared Thursday to have successfully blunted attacks on his work at Bain Capital, with still more conservatives coming to his defense, his rivals backing down and voters at campaign stops in South Carolina saying they disapproved of the critique. LINK
The Washington Times' Seth McLaughlin: "Venture or 'vulture,' Romney takes spotlight with business background" Staples is now the world's largest office-supply company, employing 90,000 workers worldwide, but in the 1980s it was a startup having trouble attracting investors — until it came to Bain Capital, an investment firm founded and run at the time by Mitt Romney. LINK
The Hills' Jonathan Easley: "Rick Perry in new ad: 'I'm not about to quit'" "I have never quit a day in my life," Perry says. "I am going to stay in this race." In a new Rick Perry Web advertisement titled "Champion," the Texas governor says he's committed to staying in the GOP presidential race and is capable of staging a comeback. LINK
USA Today's Catalina Camia: "Pro-Santorum group increases TV buy in S.C." A "super PAC" backing Rick Santorum increased its TV ad buy in South Carolina, where the former Pennsylvania senator could have huge appeal with evangelical voters. The Red White & Blue Fund is pumping another $600,000 into the Palmetto State, pushing its total there to about $800,000. LINK
The Wall Street Journal's Brody Mullins: "Wall Street, Washington and Gingrich" Newt Gingrich and his consulting companies helped financial-services giant Credit Suisse Group gather exclusive Washington information and analysis, showing that the Republican presidential candidate benefited from a practice that has come under fire from lawmakers. This "political intelligence" business—while legal—also risks muddying the campaign argument by the former House speaker that he has been a Washington outsider since he left Congress in 1999. LINK
The Los Angeles Times' John Hoeffel: "Newt Gingrich veers away from attacking Mitt Romney" Newt Gingrich, his rumpled-professor suit coat buttoned, spun out a detailed step-by-step proposal to bring new manufacturing jobs to an economically battered South Carolina, winning rousing applause both times he made the pitch in two campaign appearances in the state's capital. LINK
The New York Times' Nicholas Confessore and Jim Rutenberg: "PAC's Aid Allows Romney's Rivals to Extend Race" Under the old political rules, Mitt Romney arrived in South Carolina this week the prohibitive Republican front-runner: flush with cash, awash in endorsements from a party establishment starting to coalesce behind him and buoyed by victories in Iowa and New Hampshire. LINK
Politico's Ginger Gibson and Dylan Byers: "Young women more involved in campaign coverage" Before CNN reporters left for the campaign trail this cycle, the network's Washington bureau chief, Sam Feist, gave each of them a copy of Timothy Crouse's account of his romp across the country with the all-male 1972 press corps, "The Boys on the Bus." Half of those books went to women. LINK

Thanks, Opaww. I've been reading Mike Vanderboegh's book as it came out chapter by chapter - it's pretty darn good! Vanderboegh is also the guy who, with David Codrea, first broke the Gunwalker scandal. He is knowledgeable about history, our founding, the constitution and he has a tell-it-like-it-is manner about him. Check out his blog for countless pearls of wisdom and insight if you're interested.
I posted all this so our newish people can read a great story and have a good insight into Mikes workings. Also so we had the links here on the board instead of someone just running accross it while searching for something else.
I would love to save this page. Is there a way to do that?
Thank You for these links.
I started reading this on Monday and I'm hooked. I just hope the IT guys don't notice that I'm keeping that page open at work for most of the day so I can read a little when there is a little down time.
Join the NRA! Stop the Brady madness!
Thanks for posting. Bookmarked.

But i also loved S4 League. =p its really too bad that game is over-run by cheats cuz its really great. I love cartoons, anime, comic books so i really enjoy the art style of this game. Not only that but the maps are so small that im always in the action! I love it, ive seen a lot of people complain about spawning so close to each other and stuff but for me thats what makes it fun. Not all maps are super tiny but its mostly a pretty fast paced game because theyre not huge. I hate running around a game with 32 players in it and not running into anybody for five minutes. lol I really like this game. =) |

reading this.. it sounds like a personal ad on a dating website.. that being said, small maps in a fps = lame tastic. the only game i accept small maps on are the old dod 3.1 and cs 1.6 games. other wise you wind up with a sniper camp funtastic which is boring as hell, when you get sniped in the spawn. this game sounds like another cookie cutter asian fps like combat arms... glad you love it, but honestly super small maps suck. |
If small maps sucked i wouldnt prefer them. I also like A.V.A. for its close quarters. Every single shooter has annoying campers. You will never avoid that. Also smaller maps make it easier to spot them and take them out quicker. |
