Getchell's Diaz finally gets moment in state spotlight
Senior motivated by fluke injury that kept him out of state last year
For Diaz, that moment sure beat sitting up there watching the action, which is what he was doing at this time last year. As a junior, Diaz qualified for the state wrestling tournament, but he ended up going to Tacoma as a spectator after suffering a fluke knee and ankle injury in practice just two days before the competition began.
"It was just a freak thing to have happen," Chargers coach Todd Freeman said. "If the tournament had started maybe a day or two later, he might have been able to wrestle."
Instead, Diaz watched, and while it was painful to miss out on his first state tournament, it was also motivating.
"I kept telling myself, I've been here now, now I know what I need to do to get back here and get in the top three," said Diaz, who wrestles in the 285-pound class, "After I got injured, I was so devastated. I kept telling myself, next year will be my moment. I took it step by step to get to this point."
Diaz's goal of a top-three finish -- and possibly more -- is very much in play when the tournament resumes today. He cruised to a 13-0 decision in his first match, then finished off a low-scoring quarterfinal with a third-round pin. Diaz now faces Glacier Peak's Mosese Fifita in the Class 3A heavyweight semifinals.
Regardless of what happens today, Diaz's coaches and the fans who were cheering him on Friday night are thrilled to see him back the Tacoma Dome, but on the floor this time instead in the bleachers.
"It was really hard on him," Freeman said. "He's been on a mission this year."
Lake Stevens brothers advance, team eyes record
Vikings senior Eric Soler won a hard-fought 145-pound quarterfinal victory, putting him two wins away from another state title, while his freshman brother Michael advanced to the semifinals at 106 pounds, setting up a possible all-Lake Stevens final with freshman A.J. Crew advancing to the other 106-pound semi.
"When you've got a title, it puts a big X on your chest," Eric Soler said of defending his title. "They're gunning for you. Everybody wants to knock off a state champ, right?"
The Soler brothers were just two of seven Lake Stevens wrestlers who advanced to the semifinals along with Crew, Jake Douglas (120 pounds), Cody Vigoren (170), Shaq Reed (220) and Brandon Johnson (285). With that kind of depth, the Vikings, who built a big first-day lead with 84 points, have their eyes on not only another team title, but also the 4A record of 190 points, set by Tahoma last year.
"We're doing all right," Eric Soler said. "We're trying to set a new scoring record. We've got the numbers to do it."
Soler was one of four local defending state champs wrestling Friday, and all four advanced to the semifinals. Edmonds-Woodway's Noah Cuzzetto, who won a title at 106 pounds last year, made it to the 113-pound semi; Everett's Jessie Lopez, who moved up to 145 pounds to face stiffer competition, made it through after winning a title at 132 pounds last year, and Glacier Peak's Sean Elledge is two victories away from defending his title at 182 pounds.
Smith wins Wesco 3A showdown
In a battle between two of the area's top wrestlers, Meadowdale senior Morgan Smith narrowly edged Marysville Pilchuck sophomore Drew Hatch, winning a 6-5 decision. Coming into the match Smith was the state's top-ranked 3A wrestler at 160 pounds, while Hatch was ranked fourth at 170 pounds, his weight class during the regular season.
Two local 2A wrestlers in semis
Archbishop Murphy junior Foster Wade and Cedarcest senior Carlos Toledano were the only are wrestlers to win both their matches Friday in the 2A competition. Wade won a pair of decisions to advance, as did Toledano who needed overtime in his quarterfinal victory.

The last thing I want is people to find our name "hip." This isn't about what people in Ottawa think of our name. So long as the name is about us. Krewe works for that purpose.
And so does Pelicans. Though I'd rather Krewe, VooDoo, Brass, adn even Knights before that.
Arc(h) Angels too.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Pelicans sounds like a MiLB team. Don't tell me you don't agree.
Pelicans would better suit a girl beach volley ball team or a terrible WNBA team
I once had some of the worst grits and drippings in the Queen City
I was lucky enough to spend the past weekend in y'alls' lovely city, and I met up with Big Dub Friday for what turned out to be a great night on the town. As an outsider, I kind of failed to grasp the 'Pelicans' thing too, but he showed me some of the new stuff he's been working on (but hasn't posted online yet), and I feel fairly confident that if y'all saw what he's drawn up (particularly the logo...wow) some minds would be changed (I know mine was).
Anybody that's seen his other designs knows he can make just about anything look good, but man...I was blown away with the Pelicans motif. Don't rule it out just yet
And yeah...New Orleans...WOW. I've never been sadder to leave a city than I was while I sat on the tarmac at MSY this morning. Thoroughly blown away. Can't wait to come back!!!
We Beelieve: Charlotte...Take Back Your Hornets! links:
Glad you had a good time
And I really feel that the name isn't nearly as important as the logo/theme, as you expressed with the Pelicans name and logo. Glad Dub's getting some official eyes on his work, it's the best out there that I've seen.
Arc(h) Angels sound D-League & Knights sounds college
Teams:New Orleans Hornets(Pelicans) & Houston Texans
I'm a fan of the Hornets since like 10 years ago when they were in Charlotte, and I would want them to keep the "Hornets" as the identifier. The name, the logo, the colours of the team looks AWESOME.
If they change it I will be really dissapointed and it will not be the same anymore.
On the other hand, I guess you guys want an "own" name for the team of New Orleans city because you may "feel" like it's not yours, cos the team before arriving at your city was from Charlotte.
I'm from Barcelona by the way!

Not a question of 'if' but 'when.'
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
What makes a great NBA uniform?
http://espn.go.com/espn/playbook/sto...-ones-bad-onesTo wit: The Hornets, a fairly average club since moving to New Orleans, may not seem to have a particularly outstanding outfit. The pinstripes don't exactly mesh with this incarnation of the team, and they seem to be trying too hard with those newfangled side panels. But their locally inspired font and Mardi Gras-honoring alternates are tasteful ways to incorporate the city's flavor and culture. (The "Nola" alternates are garish, but, hey, it fits the locale.) The team's identity is its city, and the designers captured it nicely.
I guess the next time he does one of these we'll have new unis by then.
The Mardi Gras colors would be a great look. I would enjoy seeing that color scheme as long as New Orleans is on the away jersey as opposed to the brand. I wouldn't mind seeing the city on the home jersey either.
As far as our jerseys go,
Let's face it, the stripes are awful.
The mardi gras jersey's are just painful on the eyes
I really hate the New Orleans in one row across the jerseys our name is too long for that.
I really like the two colors that are in the same shadish, it leads to a really visually attractive look, and it's important to keep it simple, the Rockets jerseys are a perfect example of the resulting awfulness if you don't.
A perfect example of what I'm talking about are these throwback Lakers Jerseys, put the New and Orleans on different levels like that
I don't really know what you can do with a Voodoo color scheme, I just think it's a recipe for disaster (pun intended). I mean no one really cares what your name is really, Clippers and Knickerbokers? Most people have no idea what those are. I would just pick a name that identifies with Nola and can be visually appealing in logo/color scheme/jersey

Mardi Gras jersey is awesome. I love the garishness and the over-the-top look it has.

Has anybody thought about the name Believers? We can keep the whole "Bees" thing. Our mascot can even still be a Bee. Maybe even black and gold although I would prefer something other than black. Maybe like a red and gold. Thoughts?????

Wales skipper Sam Warburton has been dropped to the bench for Friday's Test against Samoa.
Justin Tipuric will start at openside in Warburton's place, while Ryan Jones will lead the team.
'With a short, six-day turnaround it was important for us to freshen things up and also make use of the competition for places we have within this squad, something which has been a key ingredient for the success of the squad over the last 18 months,' said interim Wales coach Rob Howley.
Howley has made eight changes in all to the side that started against Argentina last week. Jones replaces the injured Josh Turnbull, lock Bradley Davies comes in for Alun Wyn Jones, while hooker Richard Hibbard and prop Paul James are promoted to the front row.
In the backs, scrumhalf Mike Phillips and flyhalf Dan Biggar are given starts, as is centre Ashley Beck.
Wales – 15 Leigh Halfpenny, 14 Alex Cuthbert, 13 Ashley Beck, 12 Jamie Roberts, 11 George North, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Mike Phillips, 8 Toby Faletau, 7 Justin Tipuric, 6 Ryan Jones (c), 5 Ian Evans, 4 Bradley Davies, 3 Aaron Jarvis, 2 Richard Hibbard, 1 Paul James
Subs: 16 Ken Owens, 17 Gethin Jenkins, 18 Scott Andrews, 19 Luke Charteris, 20 Sam Warburton, 21 Tavis Knoyle, 22 Rhys Priestland, 23 Scott Williams.
Samoa – 15 Fa'atoina Autagavaia; 14 Paul Perez, 13 George Pisi, 12 Paul Williams, 11 David Lemi (c); 10 Tusi Pisi, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i; 8 Taiasina Tuifua, 7 Maurie Fa'asavalu, 6 Ofisa Treviranus; 5 Teofilo Paulo, 4 Daniel Leo; 3 Census Johnston, 2 Wayne Ole Avei, 1 Sakaria Taulafo
Subs: 16 Ti'i Paulo, 17 Viliamu Afatia, 18 James Johnston, 19 TBA, 20 Tivaini Fomai, 21 Jeremy Su'a, 22 Johnny Leota, 23 Robert Lilomaiava.

Through whole foods, you can learn to trust your intuition, live from your authentic self, and communicate more easily and effectively.
Food is an important ingredient in the development of your relationships. Processed foods lack vital life essence as well as nutrients and create imbalanced body, mind, and emotions. However, energetically balanced foods, like organic whole grains and vegetables, help ground you so you can think clearly and articulate your feelings. Can you understand how these strong qualities nourish your relationships?
When you express yourself in an open and honest way from a place of authenticity, you feel good from the inside out. When you feel good, good things happen to you. As you model this healthy behavior, your partner feels more comfortable to express himself or herself as well.
When you eat high quality foods and develop your inner wisdom for true health and wholeness, your inner beauty naturally shines through. And there are valuable side-benefits: your relationships become deeper and more intimate.
Healthy Relationship Tip
When you feel disconnected, angry, or frustrated with your partner, follow this tip:
Step onto a table. Now see the situation from this new place. You may receive new inspiration just from physically changing your position.
Alternatively, if both of you are seated, switch places with your partner. Now you may start to see things from your partner's position. This can help release blockages and allow healing to begin.

Glad to see an idea like this in print. Often, people don't understand the relationship between their emotions and the quality of the food they eat. Although it takes awhile to absorb this idea, seeing is believing. I hope people listen to you and your sound ideas. They will be glad they did. Here's another tip: If things are off kilter in your relationship, try eating more healthy.

Does your infant have a regular fussy period each day when it seems you can do nothing to comfort her? This is quite common, particularly between 6:00 p.m. and midnight—just when you, too, are feeling tired from the day's trials and tribulations. These periods of crankiness may feel like torture, especially if you have other demanding children or work to do, but fortunately they don't last long. The length of this fussing usually peaks at about three hours a day by six weeks and then declines to one or two hours a day by three to four months. As long as the baby calms within a few hours and is relatively peaceful the rest of the day, there's no reason for alarm.
If the crying does not stop, but intensifies and persists throughout the day or night, it may be caused by colic. About one-fifth of all babies develop colic, usually between the second and fourth weeks. They cry inconsolably, often screaming, extending or pulling up their legs, and passing gas. Their stomachs may be enlarged or distended with gas. The crying spells can occur around the clock, although they often become worse in the early evening.
Unfortunately, there is no definite explanation for why this happens. Most often, colic means simply that the child is unusually sensitive to stimulation or cannot "self-console" or regulate his nervous system. (Also known as an immature nervous system.) As she matures, this inability to self-console—marked by constant crying—will improve. Generally this "colicky crying" will stop by three to four months, but it can last until six months of age. Sometimes, in breastfeeding babies, colic is a sign of sensitivity to a food in the mother's diet. The discomfort is caused only rarely by sensitivity to milk protein in formula. Colicky behavior also may signal a medical problem, such as a hernia or some type of illness.
Although you simply may have to wait it out, several things might be worth trying. First, of course, consult your pediatrician to make sure that the crying is not related to any serious medical condition that may require treatment. Then ask him which of the following would be most helpful.

REVIEW: Under The Skin
While many a critic are raving about this sci-fier based on a work of fiction, I was totally confused til the end. Plus- I was completely unaware til I read the "notes" from the publicist that most of this was filmed, not with actors, but with real people who didn't recognize a brunette-hookerized Scarlett Johannson trying to pick men up.
O.K. So here's the story. Scarlett Johansson plays an alien in human form who drives around Scotland looking for lonely, unattached men who won't be noticed missing after she takes them back to a cottage where she seduces them, leading them to their doom, in order to feed them to her fellow aliens, who are off in another world.
Johannson has her first full on nude scenes - 4 of them, in fact. The pacing is slow. The imagery is dark. Most of the time, Johansonn is just in her pick –up, trolling for male victims. The most jarring scene shows Johansson's heartless alien impassively watching a crying toddler whose parents had just drowned on a chilly beach with the tide closing in on the wailing baby.
It's a gutsy, off-beat role for Johansson, a far cry from her big film opening this weekend. Honestly, I'd have enjoyed it more had I known from the get-go that her scenes were filmed with real people who failed to recognize the superstar.
This is not your typical sci-fier. It's super creepy , at times sexy and very artsy. In many ways, it's unforgettable.

By Elaine Knight, designer and creator of Lost Iguana
Costa Rica tops list of 'happiest' nations – CNN.com — Forget Disneyland! Costa Rica is the happiest place in the world, according to an independent research group in Britain with the goal of building a new economy, "centered on people and the environment."
Costa Rica is a beautiful country with happy, friendly people called Ticos. The name Tico originated from their frequent use of momentico (in a short moment). Outside of San Jose, you will not see poverty or beggars. People will sell things along the street, but they are rarely pushy. Ticos are proud of their country and happy to have you visit.
Traveling within Costa Rica You can easily travel anywhere in Costa Rica by plane, bus, taxi or rental car. There are small tourist busses that are inexpensive and go directly from main tourist cities and pick up ⁄ drop off at your hotel. Rental cars are expensive, but fun for exploring the country. It is still easy to get lost since there are no road names. There are signs to the volcano, beach or a large city. CR does not have addresses, instead, it has directions as in 1 Km east of the dam Arenal. The roads, unlike a few years ago, are in fairly good shape. There are still plenty of bad roads and unnerving bridges left – but just bad enough to give you good stories to tell your friends. If you are considering renting a car, I do suggest you consider hiring a driver to bring you to the hotel and renting a car a day or two after you arrive. A driver will be at the airport and you will avoid both the hour plus wait picking up the rental car and the chance of getting lost. If you relax the first day and pick up a car the next day the cost of the driver will be same as 2 days without a rental car. Your car will be brought to the hotel and it takes about 15 minutes to fill out the papers. Easy!

Safety There is violence in parts of San Jose, but it is almost unheard of in the rest of the country. Petty theft, however, has increased dramatically as tourism has changed from mainly surfers and nature lovers, to high end resorts and well-to-do travelers carrying expensive electronics and jewelry. It is very important to protect your valuables at all time.
Food, Money & Tipping You can stop at any local restaurant and feel welcome. Most menus are in Spanish and English. The local food is simple and not spicy. When in doubt, order arroz con pollo (seasoned rice with chicken pieces). Prices in all non tourist restaurants and stores will be in colones, but everyone will take dollars and usually give you change in colones.
The small difference in the bank's exchange rate is not worth the long lines and its much easier using dollars. The exchange rate at the airport is bad and starting off with colones is not necessary. All taxis will quote prices in dollars. Do not bring all large bills, since most stores do not accept bills over $20. Many hotels, restaurants & stores will not accept travelers checks. The Lost Iguana does accept travelers checks from guests with proper ID. Credit cards are always accepted and there are ATMs around tourist areas. Bring plenty of $1 bills for tipping and for taxis who will conveniently never have change. Tipping is not customary for locals, but is expected from tourist. I tend to tip about half of what I would in the US. A 10% service change is almost always added to your restaurant bill and you do not have to pay more.
Gallery not found. Pleasecheck your settings.
Weather, What to Pack I strongly recommend you buy a good guide book to Costa Rica for information on different zones.
Costa Rica is very different from coast to coast and changes dramatically from one zone to the next. The Pacific coast gets extremely hot and dry. The Arenal area gets more rain, is always green, and the temperatures rarely get very hot or cold. You can travel all over Costa Rica with 2 pairs of jeans or comfortable slacks, shorts, a few T shirts, sleeveless or hot weather tops, and good hiking shoes or tennis shoes. Don't forget a bathing suit and light weight rain jacket. If you are going to an expensive hotel or restaurant, Its good to have one nicer outfit. For the women, a sundress is perfect with a sweater for cool evenings. But even at the nicer hotels, you will see people in blue jeans or hiking clothes.
Arenal weather & the Arenal Volcano The weather around the volcano is completely different than the rest of Costa Rica. The end of November is not the dry season. March and April are the only two months that I consider too hot and dry to plant. All other months usually have some rain. I will share what I consider to be normal but please realize I have also seen exceptions to everything I am telling you. The only thing I can say for certain is that Arenal has extremely unpredictable weather and there is no weather forecast that is ever correct. December and January usually have light rain with less sun. February is a transitional month where at some point we go into the dry season which is hot, sunny and very little rain. May is the transitional month that starts the rainy season. Normally a mix of sun and light rain. June through the end of October are mixes of sun and outbursts of rain which last from 10 minutes to hours. These are my favorite months.
All rooms at the Lost Iguana have balconies or porches that have perfect views of the volcano.
Gallery not found. Pleasecheck your settings.
Bugs We have surprisingly few biting insects considering we are in a jungle. You may want insect repellant for trails, and you will definitely need repellant if you are going to the coast where the mosquitoes can be irritating. For those who find bugs intriguing, you will be in paradise. There is an array of very unique bugs. We do our best to keep to keep them outside.
Water I have never heard of anyone becoming ill drinking the water in Costa Rica. However, if you are concerned there is always bottled water available. At the Lost Iguana, we have a 400' artesian well with excellent water. The waiters will still try to sell you bottled water, but I would askagua mineral.
Snakes There are a number of poisonous snakes in Costa Rica. Several fluer de lances, coral snakes and eye lash viper snakes have been found by the gardeners on property. It is not likely you will see one. I have hiked through the jungle for years and only encountered a couple of harmless snakes who were successfully hunting frogs.
Snakes do not want to be around humans, and when you encounter one it is as surprised as you. Snakes are most active at night, so having lights at night and making noise will help warn a snake of your presence.
I am far from an expert, but I will share a few things that I have learned that might help those with concerns. The most common situation likely to result in being struck by a poisonous snake is encounter with one that has just swallowed a large meal. After eating, it is so full it is unable to easily move to find cover. This snake will strike in self-defense when it feels threatened. However, in killing its meal it has used up most of its venom and for several days its poison glands will be very diluted and of low toxicity. The most dangerous bites occur when a snake has been starved for a number of days. Due to the amount of food available to snakes in Costa Rica, there are not too many starving snakes. There are two types of vaccines available for snakebites. One is for the coral snake, another for all other poisonous snakes. The coral snake has red and yellow stripes on black and is very small. If it is red and white, it is the king snake and not poisonous. There is an emergency clinic in La Fortuna that has vaccines available. A few guests have encountered snakes, but no one has ever been bitten.
Leaving Costa Rica The airlines ask you to be at the airport 2 hours before departure time. If you arrive less than 1 hour ahead, you will most likely not be allowed to board. Be prepared to pay a $29 for person departure tax prior to going to your airline. You can pay in colones, dollars or use a credit card.

If you've been using Groovy for a while, you're certainly familiar with the concept of Categories. It's a mechanism to extend existing types (even final classes from the JDK or third-party libraries), to add new methods to them. This is also a technique which can be used when writing Domain-Specific Languages. Let's consider the example below:
We have a simplistic and fictive Distance class which may have been provided by a third-party, who had the bad idea of making the class final so that nobody could ever extend it in any way. But thanks to a Groovy Category, we are able to decorate the Distance type with additional methods. Here, we're going to add a getMeters() method to numbers, by actually decorating the Number type. By adding a getter to a number, you're able to reference it using the nice property syntax of Groovy. So instead of writing 300.getMeters(), you're able to write 300.meters.
The downside of this category system and notation is that to add instance methods to other types, you have to create static methods, and furthermore, there's a first argument which represents the instance of the type we're working on. The other arguments are the normal arguments the method will take as parameters. So it may be a bit less intuitive than a normal method definition we would have added to Distance, should we have had access to its source code for enhancing it. Here comes the @Category annotation, which transforms a class with instance methods into a Groovy category:
No need for declaring the methods static, and the this you use here is actually the number on which the category will apply, it's not the real this of the category instance should we create one. Then to use the category, you can continue to use the use(Category) {} construct. What you'll notice however is that these kind of categories only apply to one single type at a time, unlike classical categories which can be applied to any number of types.
Now, pair @Category extensions to the @Mixin transformation, and you can mix in various behavior in a class, with an approach similar to multiple inheritance:
You don't inherit from various interfaces and inject the same behavior in each subclass, instead you mixin the categories into your class. Here, our marvelous James Bond vehicle gets the flying and diving capabilities through mixins.
An important point to make here is that unlike @Delegate which can inject interfaces into the class in which the delegate is declared, @Mixin just does runtime mixing — as we shall see in the metaprogramming enhancements further down in this article.

An October visit to Abbott's Glen Inn Reveals Foliage and Fun
I didn't know that I needed this break. I had no idea, in the enjoyably cool weather of fall in New England, that I'd crave the chance to be free, naked and bathing in the sun in Southern Vermont. But I did. And what a break it turned out to be!
Guests and hosts alike shared the phrase "It's exotic, not erotic," and "the two-minute rule of nudist living." And it's true that after just a few minutes, the prurience disappears and you no longer really care what your body looks like. Abbott's Glen Inn is in West Halifax, at the very southern part of the Green Mountain State. For seven years they have cultivated a loyal following of part time nudists who come there for the delectable food, beautiful grounds, conversation, and yes, a little naked dancing too. They offer tent sites and seven rooms inside in various configurations at different levels of comfort.
Abbott's Glen reminds of me what I'd have hoped that my old prep school would be set up like. With sylvan glades protected from the faculty to tryst in, and a sunny circle of chairs where everybody can relax naked and read a book or talk. And no homework, just the assignment to get to know your fellow nudists and share your interests and relax.
The buildings are all reclaimed from the original farm. The carriage house has guest rooms, a large living room with a wood stove for hanging out, wine tastings and the evening dance parties.
Right across a path is the main building with upstairs guestrooms, kitchen and the dining room which looks out at the pond.
The carriage house bedrooms utilize these bathrooms, so if you want to be able to walk from bed to toilet, you would want to be in a different building. For warm weather an outdoor shower is available for getting clean au naturel right in nature.
A Party of 20
Amy Abbott and Lindy Abbott met decades earlier at another naturist resort, and remet when they both lived in Burlington Vermont. Eight years ago, and both decided to pursue a mutual dream when they found land in Halifax, three hours south of the small capital city.
There were quite a few repeat guests like Maryanne, who said, "Amy and Lindy really foster an environment of comfort and ease. My husband and I love it here!"
The youngest guests were a couple in their 20s; a nurse and a flooring installer from Springfield, Massachusetts, who keep a pop-up tent camper here and come most every weekend.
There were a few couples in their 70s who travel to many naturist resorts and always come back to Abbott's Glen.
Was it the nakedness that created an open-ness among the guests? I think it has something to do with it.
Caters to Couples
"They start chasing the few unattached young women around, and that isn't good." A young female employee chimed in. "Not so good!" Like the Abbotts, she socializes with the guests, dancing naked with the crowd, so it's just better not to inject the single male's energy into a coupled crowd. This isn't the place to meet a date, but it's sure a great place to take one!
Of course, everyone to me looked terribly normal; no one stood out in any way. (I'm not sure why they would, but it crossed my mind for some reason).
Dinner dress varied, most of the men wore their terrycloth robes (supplied by the resort) and let them slip down the chair, and most of the women wore shorts and nothing on top. Nobody came to the table or most anywhere else fully clothed.
Unlike in many other nudist resorts, at Abbott's Glen, the food is a key selling point. It's very, very good, but not fussy or pretentious. Hosts Amy and Lindy pride themselves on making their guests feel comfortable and creating an atmosphere of relaxed decadence. More chocolate cake anyone?
Friday nights is pizza night, made using a wood-fired maple sugar boiler, refitted with pizza stones. In the spring, Lindy makes maple syrup from trees on the property. After pizza there is a bonfire. The wood-fired sauna building is right there for your pleasure, any time.
Saturday night dinners are special occasions, with linens, candles and a bounteous spread. Guests can bring their own wine and beer, and it's a sit-down affair for all 20 guests. Local produce and meats are used extensively. They are happy to uncork your wine or bring you the right glasses for a beer.
Dancing Naked
After a dinner that lasts a few hours, enjoying conversation with our newfound naked friends, guests can adjourn to the carriage house across from the main building. Here, with a brightly blazing fire in the woodstove, a top quality sound system provides the music for dancing.
Dancing in front of a fire is always a treat. But mixing in topless women, joyous naked men to the pulsing beat, and well, now you've got a party! The liberation of dance and the feeling of being free to shake your booty, move your hips and wave your arms are magnified with everyone nude. I think this experience deserves a place on more people's bucket lists!
Amy Abbott told us some of the ways that the resort deals with its toughest problem: the cold. In some ways it is more of a perception issue than a reality, but when people mention Vermont, getting naked isn't the first thing that comes to mind.
"In January we sit outside in a living room that is formed by erecting three walls of heavy sailcloth around the bar. We created one wall hung with thousands of shiny CDs so that the sunlight is reflected toward the center. Even on the coldest days, it's still warm there, enough so that folks often take breaks and lie in the snow to cool off."
On our visit in October, we were blessed with lots and lots of sun, and despite the turning leaves, we had plenty of chances to suntan and lounge. Sunday morning found us joined by four other couples in the Adirondack chairs lined up near a large field. One couple entertained us by flying kites.
We asked some of our dinner guests about how they've come to enjoy clothing optional recreation and why. Missy, from Virginia, told us that it seemed to her that when she and others shed their clothes, they become more open, more honest, and less interested in hiding what they think and believe.
She said it's as if the playing field has been leveled because we're all naked, and there is no clothing to hide behind. Of course that would also eliminate any of the self-perceived status that may come from expensive clothes, or jewelry.
Two Challenges for Naked Fun
Amy Abbott said that there are two challenges that are different for women and for men when they first come to a nudist resort. For women, it's the issue of safety. Often there is reluctance by one partner yet an enthusiasm for being naked from the other.
Commonly it's the men who are comfortable and the woman who are shy at first. But more often than not, Amy said, the reluctant partner sheds their clothes as the comfort level increases, and by the end is as happy naked as their partner.
Abbott's Glen is most popular during the summer months, when they sell campground sites for $38 per night and sometimes have as many as 50 people dancing to a local blues band in the carriage house.
But the fall is still a good season to come, especially if you're not from New England and still marvel at the spectacular fall foliage of that time of year. No matter what the season, at Abbott's Glen you're assured an interesting group of happy people, all wearing a smile.

Integrity in sport
The football community is faced with a significant number of match-fixing incidents and allegations of corruption. Match-fixing in football is a global challenge, with more than 60 countries initiating investigations over the past two years.
Estimates of the money made through illegal betting alone run into hundreds of millions of euros annually, while the use of Internet gambling networks has made it extremely easy to bet on matches anywhere in the world.
With large profits to be made, match-fixing has become more and more attractive to criminals and organized crime groups. Match-fixing also poses a wider danger, as the money generated is used by criminals for other illegal activities.
It has never been more important to implement coordinated strategies to prevent match-fixing, incorporating stakeholders on national, regional and international levels.
INTERPOL's response
INTERPOL and FIFA entered into a joint initiative with two main aims:
- To educate and train key actors in football on how to recognize, resist and report attempts to corrupt or fix matches;
- To better prepare law enforcement on how to investigate and cooperate in corruption or match-fixing related cases.
INTERPOL's Integrity in Sport programme is a global training, education and prevention initiative with a focus on match-fixing as well as irregular and illegal betting.
The objective is to raise key actors' awareness and understanding of the phenomenon of match-fixing, the strategies used by its perpetrators and the methods to detect and counteract them. The programme offers a number of tools to protect football from corruption, including national and regional workshops, and e-learning modules.
Added to this framework is a wide range of INTERPOL services which together form a multifaceted strategy, able to effectively address match-fixing and corruption in football.
Multifaceted strategy
- INTERPOL Major Event Support Teams (IMESTs) can be deployed to assist member countries in the preparation, coordination and implementation of security arrangements for major events, including sporting events such as the Olympics or FIFA World Cup. IMEST team members facilitate the real-time exchange among all 190 INTERPOL member countries of messages and vital police data, including fingerprints, photos, wanted person notices, and data relating to stolen and lost travel documents and stolen motor vehicles.
- Operation Soga is an ongoing tactical operation coordinated by INTERPOL to disrupt the illegal soccer gambling activities of criminal organizations in Asia. As of 2013, four Soga operations have resulted in:
- 2,360 successful raids;
- The closure of illegal gambling dens which handled illegal bets worth more than USD 2 billion;
- The seizure of more than USD 27 million in cash.
- The Match-Fixing Task Force is a specialist network of investigators. The initiative provides an international cooperation platform enabling member countries to enhance the exchange of intelligence and experience and to develop strategies to combat the organized crime networks involved in match-fixing across geographical borders.
Protecting integrity in football
INTERPOL's Integrity in Sport programme offers a continuum of learning based on five core principles: partnerships, information, coordination, prevention and proactivity (PICPP).
The programme can assist football associations, government departments, law enforcement agencies and other relevant stakeholders in developing prevention strategies, integrity units and training courses for specific audiences.
- Partnerships: No organization can tackle the problem of match-fixing alone. A cross-sector approach is necessary at national, regional and international levels in order to successfully reduce match-fixing. Strategies should incorporate partnerships between national football associations and betting organizations as well as public authorities including law enforcement and regulators.
- Information: All partners – including stakeholders, key actors and targets – need general details about match-fixing to ensure there is a shared understanding of the problem. Each group also needs specific advice that can directly assist them in their individual role in protecting the integrity of sport.
- Coordination: It is important that all stakeholders operate in a coordinated manner, especially at national level, to ensure a comprehensive and unified approach to both the prevention of match-fixing and responses to allegations of match-fixing.
- Prevention: This is the most important factor in tackling match-fixing and corruption in football. Prevention measures include awareness raising, training and education, as well as deterrents such as regulations that ensure sanctions for unprofessional behaviour.
- Proactivity: Exhibiting leadership and acting proactively is essential to creating an effective strategy to protect football from match-fixing. Anticipating threats and putting the necessary preventative measures in place is necessary for the long-term preservation of integrity in football.

Katlodeeche First Nation
Today the Katlodeeche First Nation Reserve is a thriving community. Since the 70's, it has healed many wounds and built a viable economic base for itself and for its children. Development continues on many fronts, and the Dene continue to find answers to today's problems that are both innovative and consistent with their traditions.
Read the Full Story
Who Are the Dene
The Dene people are the original habitants of the area of land stretching east to west from the Hudson Bay to the interior of Alaska, and south to north from central Alberta to the Arctic Ocean.
Read the Full Story
Katlodeeche First Nation History
The area around Hay River has long been a gathering place for the South Slavey. The abundant fish stocks of Great Slave Lake around the mouth of the Hay River called the Dene back every summer. In the winter, the families that had gathered on the east banks of the Hay could be found on the shores of Buffalo Lake, south of the present-day reserve. Here, the winter hunting and trapping was quite good.

Oak Hill Academy split in a pair of district games this past weekend against Leake Academy and Manchester Academy. The Lady Raiders and Lady Rebels, two teams that will undoubtedly face off in the district championship come February, were neck and neck after a very competitive first quarter that favored Leake 16-10. As the game got scrappy and the pace was slowed down, the Lady Rebels barely spread the lead out to make it a 28-19 game at halftime. Oak Hill never could manage to cut the lead any lower than nine, and the foul-laden third quarter came to an end with Leake holding a 40-30 advantage. In the final period of play, the Lady Rebels took over, holding Oak Hill to nine points in the quarter while scoring 20 of their own to grab a 60-39 victory.
The Lady Raiders were plagued by poor shooting from the field- they shot 28.5 percent- and the free throw line, where they converted 11 of their 22 freebies. The difference in the game was LeakeŌĆÖs ability to shut down Shay Atkins, who finished with two points and seven rebounds on the night. Rachel Herndon led Oak Hill in scoring with 15 points, followed by Maegen Ellis with 13. Anna Ready and Sarah Dill scored four points a piece, while Lauren Billington and Sydney Holton added two points each on the night.
The junior Lady Raiders won in thrilling fashion with a 47-45 victory. Sarah Dill and Sydney Holton led in scoring with 16 and 14 points, respectively.
Saturday night was a much different story for Oak Hill. The Lady Raiders put the tough loss behind them to rock the Lady MaverickŌĆÖs world in a 59-6 beat down. Manchester was simply overwhelmed by the fast play of Oak Hill and faced an insurmountable deficit by the end of the first half. Anna Ready led all scorers with 12 points. Rachel Herndon recorded a double-double on the night with 11 points and 10 boards. Shay Atkins and Maegen Ellis also scored 11 each. Sarah Dill and Lauren Billington added six and three points, respectively, while Bet Langley and Kelci Jo Langford finished with two a piece.
The junior Lady Raiders kept their undefeated season alive with a 52-7 thrashing of their own. Sarah Dill and Sydney Holton led Oak Hill in scoring with 14 and 12 points.
Next up for the Lady Raiders is a rematch at home against Indianola on Thursday night.

Bravia color-blasts San Francisco's streets.
When announcing its new line of TVs, Sony enlisted Fallon, an agency based in London. The idea? Drop a quarter of a million bouncy balls down San Francisco's curvy, narrow, sloped streets—and catch it on film. Compressed air cannons launched balls into the air while earth-moving equipment poured thousands of balls down closed-off streets. Cars, props, and crew members were given shields and crash helmets for protection. Sure, some viewers doubted the veracity of Bravia's fanciful ad, but San Franciscans who witnessed the massive six-day clean-up effort won't soon forget Bravia's name.
The "Life Comes at You Fast" spill.
Nationwide Insurance had terrific product awareness, but the company was struggling to boost awareness of its financial-planning products. Marketing agency TM Advertising decided to blended blunt truth with subtle humor. The landmark advertisement for the campaign was installed in Nationwide's hometown of Columbus, Ohio, where a banner depicted a spilled paint bucket with paint dripping down the side of the building into the parking lot below. The eye-catching outdoor promotion not only had a tendency to stop traffic, but also garnered awards. Since the campaign, Nationwide's company profits have grown from $100 to more than $2 billion in 2006.
Cleaning up the city with Mrs. Meyer's.
Mrs. Meyer's wanted to do good, give out samples, and use kitchen sink imagery. That's where Mono, an agency based in Minneapolis, stepped in. It turned a fountain in San Francisco's Ghirardelli Square into a super-sized washbasin, complete with cup, saucer, sponge, and a huge bottle of Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day detergent. White balloons suggested soap suds, and passers-by who took one got not only an (included) sample, but the knowledge that a $2 donation was being made to charity. That's good and clean.
Launching the Samsung Wave.
Samsung and marketing agency Jack Morton developed a live and digital event to take place at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress in February 2010. For the live portion, a massive room was created, surrounded by a 360-degree digital cube. Thirty-two HD projectors illuminated the walls to demonstrate the graphics available on the new smartphones, and live entertainers also participated to help engage the crowd and build excitement.
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was originally imagined by Macy's employees, many of whom were first-generation immigrants who wanted to celebrate in a manner like their parents did back at home. It was staged by a mixture of store employees and professional entertainers, and called the "Christmas Day Parade," even though it took place on Thanksgiving. Now, it has made the brand ubiquitous, and is so popular thousands of people even trek to view the parade's balloons being inflated.
M&Ms "Dare to go to the Dark Side."
In March 2005, to celebrate the launch of M&Ms new Dark Chocolate candies, M&Ms and Mars Candy Co. worked alongside LucasFilm. Advertising group Eventage dropped an authentic X-Wing Fighter on an island in the middle of New York's Times Square, and invited Anthony Daniels—the original C-3PO—in costume with Darth Vader, six Storm Troopers, and M&Ms also dressed as Star Wars characters. The actors participated in a performance that seamlessly blended the Star Wars universe with the world of M&Ms. The promotion received 184 million media impressions, was covered on 25 national television segments.
Snapple White Tea "High Tea" Tour
Snapple Beverage Corporation was ready to launch its newest creation: Snapple White Teas, "The Lightest Tasting Teas on Earth." Eventage advertising group took a tour of nine U.S. cities from June to August 2010 to take consumers skyward. At each location, Snapple set up three 22-foot helium balloons, each balloon featuring a new Snapple White Tea flavors, and flew consumers up to 1,200 feet above the ground. Snapple also set up tents and gave out bottles of their new product, distributing a total of 21,000 samples of Snapple's White Teas. The U.S. tour sparked 33 million media impressions, as well as photos and spots in The New York Times and BrandWeek, making this promotion one of the most successful in Snapple's history.
Levi's proves "Size Does Matter"
Levi's brand jeans wanted to market their new slogan: "Size does matter." To accomplish this, Levi's hired A Squared Group to execute a publicity stunt in Washington Square Park in Manhattan. For the stunt, 75 single men and women were chosen to find their perfect match. The women had 5:01—a nod to Levi's 501 jeans—to race to a pile of men's jeans, grab a pair, and search among the 75 shirtless men to find the perfect match. The guerilla promotion, which reinforced the idea that everyone has a perfect fit, reached over 20 million consumers through unpaid media coverage.
OfficeMax gets edgy.
Innova and PR partner Maccabee Group helped OfficeMax launch a new ink cartridge refill service with a revealing media event. Ten models braved sub-freezing Chicago weather to show off the iconic Windy City imagery airbrushed on their backs for media and curious passersby. Many media outlets, including the Associated Press, CNN, Forbes, the Chicago Tribune, and five Chicago network TV stations covered the eye-catching guerrilla promotion, helping drive OfficeMax's ink sales up 15 percent the following week.
Touring the Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales
It's one of America's most famous and memorable marketing campaigns, but don't you only see it on TV? The Budweiser Clydesdale hitch been the undisputed champion of "mobile" marketing since its introduction on April 17, 1933, when August Busch Jr. and Adolphus Busch III presented the hitch to their father to celebrate prohibition's repeal. Later that day in 1933, the Clydesdale hitch delivered the first post-prohibition case of beer. Today, the world-famous hitches—there are five active roaming around the country at all times—travel more than 100,000 miles each year in North America. That's one new city visited every week.
Gap shows its true colors.
To launch Gap's (Product)Red campaign to help fight the spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa, Oprah Winfrey hosted a live, in-store episode of her show, spotlighting the (Product)Red collection. For the event, marketing agency A Squared Group renovated Gap's flagship store in Chicago to give the entire building a ruby makeover. The store's unveiling on Chicago's Magnificent Mile brought in celebrities, fans, and several million at-home viewers directly into the store for the (Product)Red campaign launch.
Samsung's impromptu concert.
For its launch of 3D TVs, Samsung worked with Jack Morton to created an event that generated more than 2.4 billion media impressions, helping solidify Samsung as the market leader in 3D TV. The magic formula? Drop in the Black Eyed Peas to Times Square for a surprise concert. Hire Avatar and Titanic director James Cameron to film it. Talk to the press, and host an exclusive VIP party. Stir it up.

Carved into the basalt cliffs and perched above the rolling Columbia River in George, Washington, The Gorge Amphitheatre is perhaps the most picturesque music venue in all of North America.
Perhaps inspired by their scenic surroundings, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers delivered an electrifying set that lived up to the stunning show setting. Night one at the Gorge featured the live debut of "Don't Pull Me Over," a reggae-inspired song off their new album, Mojo, which drew an appreciative, smoke-filled response from the audience. Dedicating it to all the lovers in the house, Tom faced off with guitarist Mike Campbell to kick-start "Free Fallin'," before dropping a stellar version of "Oh Well." Donning a fan's Mad Hatter top hat that was tossed onstage, Tom launched into "Don't Come Around Here No More" with a sly grin, a nod to the song's legendary music video.
Joe Cocker's set continues to provide the perfect preface to the Heartbreaker's headlining set. "Feelin' Alright" got the crowd on its feet early, but today's highlight was a fiery "Shelter Me," capped by Cocker's song-closing hop. "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window, another incredible Beatles" cover, slammed the door on Cocker's set.
Check back at TomPetty.com for photo galleries, show recaps and more from the tour as we return to Canada for shows in Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Saskatoon!

If you have a high school diploma or the equivalent, or are at
least 18 years old, and are able to benefit from enrollment,
you are eligible
for admission to NVCC. You are encouraged to
apply online. For information, go to the College Web
site at http://www.nvcc.edu/novaconnect.
It is to your advantage to complete and submit your application
early. You will be unable to enroll until this form has been processed
and you have been admitted to the College, usually within 24-48
hours. You can also complete an Application for Admission,
Form 125-30, and submit it to any campus Student Services
If you think you qualify for in-state tuition rates, you must
also complete the Application for Virginia In-State Tuition
Rates section of Form 125-30 prior to registration and payment of tuition.
When you apply for in-state tuition, you should be prepared to
present documentation to support your claim. Eligibility for in-state
tuition rates will be determined on review of this completed form
online or at any campus prior to registration for classes.
To be eligible for in-state tuition rates, you must be continuously
domiciled in Virginia for at least one year immediately
preceding the first official day of classes for the semester. If
an error
is discovered in the original domicile decision, the College reserves
the right to bill you for tuition due. Non-U.S. citizens on temporary
visas, in restricted classifications, or undocumented are not eligible
to establish Virginia domicile and eligibility for in-state tuition.
Eligibility for in-state tuition rate is determined no later than
the first day of classes for each term. Please refer to the College Catalog or
contact a campus Student Services Center for further domicile
Changes that may occur later in your residence, tax payment status,
auto registration, etc., must be reported to a campus Student Services Center. Failure to report changes that could affect
your domicile and eligibility for in-state tuition could result
in the College's billing you for tuition due and/or taking
disciplinary action against you.
International Students. This College is authorized
under federal law to enroll non-immigrant students. If you are
an international student applicant requiring an I-20 form for a
student visa, and/or your native language is not English, you should
see the College Catalog (also located on
the College Web site at http://www.nvcc.edu/curcatalog/admin/admissn.htm)
for admission requirements.
Restricted Programs. If you plan to apply to
any of the Allied Health, Nursing, or the Veterinary Technology
you must meet the special admission requirements outlined in the
"Instructional Programs" section of the College
Catalog. Also, in this schedule, see the "Off-Campus
Class Locations and Campus-Specific Information" section
for details about the Nursing and Allied Health Programs at the
Medical Education
Campus and the Veterinary Technology Program at Loudoun. Note:
If you apply using the online
application, you will be placed into General Studies until
you meet the special admission requirements for your program.
English Language Requirement
In order to register for most courses, new students are required
to achieve a satisfactory score on the college English placement
test. Regardless of course selection, all students will be required
to take the English placement test prior to registering for the
16th credit.
Basic skills assessment and placement testing are intended to assist
you in selecting courses and designing an academic program in which
you most likely will be successful. THESE TESTS ARE NOT
ADMISSIONS TESTS. However, you are required to demonstrate
a specified level of English proficiency in order to enroll in most
college credit courses.
Prior to testing, you must have submitted an Application for
Admission to the College. Photo identification is required
when you come
to the Testing Center to take the tests.
For information about testing or testing accommodations, contact
the Counseling or Testing Center at any campus.
Basic Skills Assessment. Assessment of your strengths
and weaknesses in reading, writing, and mathematics will help you
determine the appropriate courses to select. This assessment is
accomplished through a group of basic skills assessment tests administered
through the Testing Center at each campus.
If you are a degree-seeking student, you are encouraged to take
basic skills tests in reading, writing, and mathematics before
you enroll for classes.
If you have not taken the basic skills tests and have a cumulative
grade point average (GPA) of less than 2.00 after completion of
9 semester hours at NVCC, or if you are transferring to NVCC with
a cumulative GPA of less than 2.00 (regardless of the number of
hours completed) you must take the basic skills test in reading
and writing. A counselor will determine if it is appropriate for
you to take basic skills tests in mathematics as well. For more
details about GPA, see "Academic Information," in the
Administrative Information section of the College
Catalog. All
new students, regardless of GPA, must take the English placement
test prior to enrolling for the 16th credit.
Course Placement Testing. Most courses require
that you obtain a minimum score on one or more placement tests
before you may enroll in those courses. If your score on the required
placement test(s) does not meet the standard, you must complete
prescribed courses. The course(s) required will be determined by
your score. These requirements apply to all campuses and ELI, unless
specifically waived by the responsible division dean. See a counselor
to review test scores.
Students who first entered NVCC in fall 2002 or after, must
take the English placement test prior to enrolling for college
credit courses unless the course

TRANSIENT STUDENTS: Special Provisions for Students Currently
Enrolled at Four-Year Colleges and Universities. Students
currently enrolled at four-year colleges and universities may enroll
in most NVCC courses without taking a placement test (see Assessment
and Placement Testing above). Such "transient"
or guest students maintain their primary enrollment with the four-year
college (home institution) and elect to enroll at NVCC for the limited
purpose of taking one or more classes. To qualify for this special
provision, you need to document current enrollment or admission
to a four-year college or university. Please visit www.nvcc.edu/admissions/transientstudents
for a list of contacts and instructions. To enroll in a course that
has a college-level prerequisite (e.g., students taking ENG 112
must have completed ENG 111 or the equivalent), you must provide
a transcript showing that you have met the prerequisite.

Peter de Villiers has made four changes to his starting line-up for the Springboks' next Tri-Nations clash against the All Blacks in Wellington.
Lock Gerhard Mostert, who was a late injury replacement for Flip van der Merwe, has been rushed into the second row to make his Test debut this Saturday. Blindside flank Jean Deysel is also promoted to a shuffled loose trio, with Danie Rossouw shifting to No 8 and Ashley Johnson falling to the bench. Deon Stegmann keeps his No 6 jumper.
The other two changes are to the backline, with outside centre Adi Jacobs replacing Wynand Olivier in the midfield and Juan de Jongh picked at inside centre. Fullback Pat Lambie fills in for the injured Gio Aplon, who returned home with Van der Merwe on Wednesday.
South Africa – 15 Pat Lambie, 14 Bjorn Basson, 13 Adi Jacobs, 12 Juan de Jongh, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Morne Steyn, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Danie Rossouw, 7 Jean Deysel, 6 Deon Stegmann, 5 Alistair Hargreaves, 4 Gerhard Mostert, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 John Smit (c), 1 Dean Greyling.
Subs: 16 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 17 CJ van der Linde, 18 Ryan Kankowski, 19 Ashley Johnson, 20 Charl McLeod, 21 Wynand Olivier, 22 Odwa Ndungane.
