Since they passed that stupid "No Smoking" rule, it's been impossible to use cigarettes to maintain a fixed exchange rate (exchange rate adjusted for the relative price/service cost differential) that maintains parity with our cost indexed currency exchange rate.

"Fiat" currency is a tool. Broadly, it causes inflation when supply exceeds demand, and deflation when demand exceeds supply. Ideally, a little bit of inflation is good, in that it encourages a moderate level of use (investment, consumption), leading to real economic growth.
A tangible currency made from a limited supply of raw material tends towards deflation, which encourages hoarding, which discourages use, leading to real economic contraction.

That simply moving aluminum between warehouses [nytimes.com] make more "value" in a year than the work of hundreds of persons in all their lives, no matter how much they risk their lives or how much important is for others is a bad symptom.
AND I want the creation right of money in the hands of the government. In this case, working for the government (as representation of society) will create money. This money will have its built-in tax, as it is always created by doing something for society (repairing a road, for example). Also, the value of money is automatically equal to work done for, or goods delivered to, society.
This would mean that government spending would not equal increasing debt towards bankers, but equal helping the economy.
This is why you never, ever, want to give banks actual control of any industrial process.

Does anyone remember that money was invented in Lydia, what is now Turkey, to lubricate the barter of things you actually worked for? It's an abstraction of direct means of sustenance, and it's supposed to represent valuable resources and work.
Entire empires - the Inca, for example - have never used this abstraction. The Inca had an even allotment of labor time in exchange for an even share out of the empire's storehouses. They left us amazing agricultural insights, cities of amazing stonework, and fabulous textiles. Anyone who thinks that stock market derivatives are wealth or that the only alternatives to capitalism are poverty or Joe Stalin can chew on that.
Money as we know it has gotten to be a more devilish abstraction than anything us programming nerds would ever allow. It's gotten to be a tool to make sure that CEOs, shareholders, and bankers have all the clout, and hence, nearly all the take. They get paid in digital money for throwing around digital money to their advantage so much that, if wealth were perfectly equal in America, we'd all make $100,000, have a home paid for, have a college education paid for, or some other configuration of lifestyle. I'm not saying that perfect equality is the way to go, but I'm saying that the way clout has overridden value of labor shows that money is now deeply broken.

Ningis are not negotiable currency, because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change.

The classic naked baby shot Craig and I wanted. I shot this with my phone, as Craig shot with his normal camera. We were hoping Quinn didn't pee on the bed.
(In Jamie Cotten's words) This is "Life as a New Mom through a Hipstamatic Lens." The work mirrors the beauties and struggles of being a new mom, and the advantages and disadvantages of using a camera phone to document those beauties and struggles. Quinn, pictured here on his changing table where we read to him on our knees, was born Feb. 2 this year. "Dedicated to our families, and to each other," this book reads on its introduction page. Over the course of the first year of Quinn's life, it's become clear to me that's how families make it - dedication.
Before I had my own family, I don't know if I'd pick out scenes like this as easily. It appears to be a family parting ways for the day early one San Francisco morning.
This is after his six-month shots.
And as I'm sure some of you have heard or may know, with childbirth comes hair loss.. a lot of hair loss. At first I hardly lost any, but when Quinn turned six months old, it started coming out in gobs. At one point, my hair even started to turn brown, and with red hair being such a part of me my entire life, I wondered what else might change from having a baby.
I finally had the chance to clean the bathrooms one day, and when I glanced at myself in the mirror, I was shocked at my appearance. I had to shoot it and, as with many of these images, wouldn't have done it with my normal camera.
When Craig returned to work, so did I. Only it wasn't shooting photo assignments nine-to-five, as I'd done previously. Instead, I cleaned, cooked, did laundry and took care of Quinn, and I was more exhausted than I'd ever been in my life. This is our sink with two empty wine glasses, a spatula, a knife - all regulars in our house - and a non-traditional item in our sink - a baby nose-cleansing sucker thing. I still don't know its proper name.
I had this overwhelming sense of needing to protect Quinn, and this was a precautionary note I left on the window of his nursery for Craig.
Craig holds up a witch face for Quinn, as Quinn laughed.
A lone goose on one of our walks.
We found many things on that beach - dead jellyfish, unidentified bones, and a decomposing bird carcass.
Craig lies on the floor, exhausted, with Quinn during a barbecue at a friend's house as Quinn tries to crawl away.
A spook sits on a our babysitter's front porch to scare trick or treaters. Quinn, dressed as a pumpkin, didn't cry once.
And back home, I shot another photo of me and Quinn to send to Craig when he was out of town. The light was minimal, and I of course couldn't change my camera settings. But I loved the moment.
Quinn picked up friends everywhere we went. This is on the 1 Train in NYC, headed downtown to see the 9/11 Memorial.
Immediately after walking inside the memorial, I felt an overwhelming sense of loss. Thousands of engraved victims' names covered the charcoal-colored stone of the North and South Pools. One name in particular hit me like a freight train - a woman's name "and her unborn child" it reads. I wept.
Craig rests his hands on his chest before bed. He does this a lot, and to me it's a symbol of his strong values - loyalty, dedication and family.
Quinn wakes up near Craig's camera on the ground at a friend's house during a barbecue.

Quinn reaches up to grab Craig's nose and touch his mouth, almost as if to express his love for his dad.
A lone trumpeter plays some tunes as he sits on a side street near The San Francisco Chronicle building.
Quinn gets his plushy fish stuck on his face - yet another moment that made me laugh when we were alone together.
Surfers walk down a cold beach, four blocks from Judy's house in San Francisco.
This is another self portrait with Quinn I sent to Craig on one of his trips for work.
A lone crow flies over some telephone lines.
This is a car wash, where I was reminding myself that, although I'm a mom, I'm still also a photographer. I'd often use Hisptamatic as an outlet for the loneliness and probably a bit of postpartum depression I often felt. These next frames are reflections of that.
Quinn discovers his feet. No matter how much support I had as a new mom, I often felt lonely.. just me and my baby. This moment was one I wished Craig could have seen in person. I sent this to him when he was out of town for work.
I often thought of Juma back home, and wondered if he felt lonely and neglected.
This is after a night of successful laundry hanging and folding.. and decompressing.
Quinn liked a lot of solid foods, but he loved carrots most of all.
Quinn soon outgrew his bassinet, and though Craig and I were happy to have our room back to ourselves again, it felt empty when the little guy moved to his crib. Though it was a sense of accomplishment, as well.
This isn't a very common scene, actually. But it was a fun one to shoot with the square Hipstamatic frame.
Though my mom and my stepdad, Howard, did not have to evacuate, they were on the pre-evacuation map. They packed boxes of their most treasured items - old family photos and some valuables. In a house that was usually full of the smell of good cooking and life, there was a sense of emptiness and fear.
And for all the moms out there, this is a common morning scene. It's amazing how much your little ones rely on you, and it feels good to know you're doing the best job you can.
Craig, Quinn and I took a walk up to the Garden of the Gods where Craig walked Quinn a usually busy road to get a better look of the still burning and smoking fire.
And when we woke from sleeping at my mom's house that night, I remember peering over into Quinn's pack 'n play and thinking, "God, I'm lucky." With my family and friends safe, I can't imagine what else I'd put into a box.
Quinn and I spend a lot of time grocery shopping, and though it's a process, I love how he makes me smile as I walk the food aisles. I remember the first time I went to the store without him, it took me like a half an hour less to do all my shopping, and I felt 50 pounds lighter. But of course I missed his cooing and keeping me company.
When a friend asked where I wanted to go to happy hour, I said, "wherever people won't judge me for drinking with a baby." We ended up at a restaurant, where Quinn was fascinated by the reflection of my wine-filled glass on the table.
Quinn plays in what we call his "baby spacecraft." He was a little small for it here, but he could touch the bottom.
Juma hides under some paper on the kitchen floor.
This is a brush for Quinn's bottle on our sink with a note behind it made of gum and mints Craig picked up for me on his travels, "Jamie I love you Craig," it reads. On the top right of the frame are three pine cones I picked up on one of my walks with Quinn that represent our family. The taller, grey one on the right is Craig. I'm the reddish-colored one, leaning on Craig. And Quinn is the little one in the middle.
It was amazing how people would come out of the woodwork to take some of the load off. My cousin Dave, left, and Craig pass Quinn back and forth at Red Robin while I took a break.
Our family walks were also really important, especially during the first six months of Quinn's life, and this is a photo of Craig taking a photo of Quinn on one of those walks. Craig often posted photos on Facebook, which I could not do as much I'd like with this project.
Another one of those touching moments I walked into.
A lone spider on our back screen door.
A woman looks out over a lake, where I often walked with Quinn.
Quinn would play on his play gym, and would often fall asleep. This is another fun square frame to shoot.
This is at a bluegrass concert where, though I was with family, sat in the back of the outdoor garden in case Quinn started crying. I felt a little like an outcast, when a snake appeared in the crack of the back garden wall as if to say, "I know how you feel, man." I got dangerously close to it - close enough for it to strike me. But it didn't, and I got the shot.
This is from another walk near our house with Quinn - remnant of another passerby.
A meat vendor smokes a cigarette in Mong Kok market, Hong Kong.
This is a stationary Quinn, watching me as I fold clothes. He doesn't sit still like this now, as those of you who are parents know.
And so was Craig.
Craig reads his favorite children's book, "Where the Wild Things Are," to newborn Quinn. Quinn was fascinated.
And then in June, the Waldo Canyon fire broke out in Colorado Springs, burning over 18,000 acres and more than 340 homes. Though it was not the largest fire in Colorado's history, it is called the most devastating because of the homes it destroyed. Craig was sent to shoot the devastation and document the families the fire affected. Quinn and I joined, and figured we'd stay at my mom's house near Manitou Springs.
It seemed that I could never produce enough milk. Pictured on the right is a bottle with under two ounces of the liquid gold - over three ounces short of what Quinn needed in one feeding.
Quinn in his infant tub, which he's about to outgrow. He seems to really enjoy bath time, especially when he has his rubber ducky.
Juma. Juma would do almost anything to get my attention. Wherever I was, he'd appear suddenly. He'd jump in the bathtub as I washed my face in the sink. Or he'd be at my feet when I got coffee ready for the following morning.
I took classical piano lessons for nine years, and have neglected practicing since Quinn was born. I'm playing with him here, as he pounds on the keys.
Supply and demand. That's what breastfeeding a baby is all about, and I was adamant and committed to breast feeding Quinn. Though I'm thrilled about his health and the stamina I've had with breastfeeding, I often felt discouraged. As soon as I had two or three milks in the freezer, they'd be gone. I could never keep a stash. This photo of an employee stocking, left, and a customer consuming at a New York City market reminded me of my situation.
And this is a self portrait with Quinn, six weeks old here. I shot maybe eight frames of this, and the shadow of my phone was in most of them. When I finally got it, I realized I wouldn't have been able to shoot this with my D3. It's just too big, and between hiding the camera in the shadows and holding Quinn's head up, I couldn't have done it.
Back home in Colorado, it was a bit cold. This is our back door the night we returned from subtropical weather in Hong Kong.
I lived on the East Side in New York City during my first year of college, and it was a wonderful experience, but a struggle. As many people who've lived in NYC know, it's a hard city, especially when you're young. This is at the hotel where we stayed during our first trip to NYC with Quinn.
Quinn and I shop at a used baby-clothing store here, as he grabs a shirt I pulled off the rack. I was flattered. He makes me laugh constantly, and it's moments like these that make motherhood that much more worth it.

Costume Voting Now Open
It's time! Time to vote on what my costume for Halloween should be! Whoop! You guys came up with some AWESOME suggestions. It was really hard to narrow it down. BUT, I have picked my top 4 (weird number, I know) options. And here they are. I did a small preview of what each costume will look like. Now, these were just quick looks. For the real thing they would look much better.:
1. Gypsy- This one wasn't exactly suggested. But Lo (I think it was Lo, I couldn't find the comment) mentioned how she was a gypsy all growing up and I loved the idea!
2. Snow White- My older sister has been begging me to be Snow White.
3. A Tree- This one was suggested by Katilda and I loved it. I would rat my hair up like crazy and cover it in leaves and possibly make it into a nest. haha!
4. Hermione (not pictured)- Growing up I was always told I looked like Hermione. For some reason I've never been her for Halloween. But when I won Sarah's time turner necklace (like the one Hermione uses in Prisoner of Azkaban) and Candace suggested being Hermione, I decided it was time to consider it. Actually both Sarah and Candace are going to be Luna Lovegood for Halloween! haha!
Which one do you like best? Place your vote in the pole box to the left. :D

I love the idea of dressing up like Snow White. That would be so much fun. Although seeing as you have already had your time 'helping' out at Disneyland...maybe you should go for a gypsy. Imagine all the beautiful colours and jewels you can wear.
Vote 1 Gypsy costume :)

hmmm i think Hermione or a tree would be so fun for the makeup!!! good luck i am still in limbo of what i'm going to be :)
- October 24, 2011 at 9:52 AM
- katilda said...
my pride dictated that i vote for the tree...although i do love them all. the fact that you have a time-changer necklace would make your hermione costume legit, but there's also hundreds of other girls who will dress up like hermione....gypsy is fun too...and snow white. dangit, i'm all indecisive so we should probably go w/ my first idea. you could always hang an apple from your hair too...
- October 24, 2011 at 12:13 PM

I voted and really hope tree wins. It is sooo unique and fun the way you described it!

- Kristy Lynn said...
i have such an issue with disney = no snow white.
gypsies are actual people with identifications and histories of mass scale oppression. It's a little like dressing up like an aboriginal person. = no gypsy.
I don't know who Hermione is. sooooo....
trees are cool. I vote trees.

I'm super excited to announce the kick off of a new recipe series I'm working on and to tell you about a must read new book.
The book is "Have Mother, Will Travel", and the recipe series is "Have Kelly, Will Cook".
Here's a heart warming video peek into the book. To read more about the book and these amazing women click here.
I met Claire and Mia about 20 years ago at their home in Los Angeles. There are two things I will never forget.
#1. The first time I saw Mia's beautiful smile, it literally brightens a room.
#2. The first time I ate Claire's Lamb, she cooks it like no other.
We have since become the best of friends.
Claire describes food with the passion of a poet. When she told me about a confection she had gone crazy over in Provence, I could taste it myself. It was a candied clementine, honey, and marzipan, dunked in dark chocolate, called la Gourmandise. As usual, we immediately started brainstorming ideas to recreate this confection. Little did I know, this conversation would lead to a series of recipes based on wonderful food they tasted while on a global scavenger hunt. For more of the story, click here.
The first recipe of the series is a Chocolate Clementine Tart with Almond-Shortbread Crust and Honey Cream. I knew this recipe would be amazing given the flavor combination described by Claire. The key to this tart is to use cold butter and eggs, and to work fast, otherwise the filling wont emulsify. Have all your ingredients measured and ready to go before you start to mix. You will be amazed, it only takes a minute to come together.

The Computer Cable Store™ will keep you at the head of the pack with our high performance 350Mhz
custom patch cables. Category 5 Enhanced high speed cabling is a pre-requisite for today's performance demanding Ethernet and gigabit networks. Computer Cable Store™ Booted CAT5e Custom
Patch Cable
- Blue - 1.5 FT are well constructed using Enhanced Cat5e bulk cable, which consists of 4 unshielded twisted pairs, 24 AWG, stranded conductors, and a PVC jacket. Computer Cable Store™ Enhanced Cat5e custom 350Mhz patch cables easily handle bandwidth intensive applications and more. Our UL certified patch cables meet all the TIA/EIA standards. We terminate the non-booted Enhanced Cat5e cables with
plugs, which are staggered and are plated with 50 microns of gold plating per contact. We terminate the snag less booted Enhanced Cat5e cables with short body RJ45 plugs, which are plated with 50 microns of gold plating per contact. Constructed with high-quality wire and a shortened body plug will keep Near-end Crosstalk (NEXT) levels to a minimum. Our snag less boot prevents unwanted cable snags during installation/maintenance and provides extra strain-relief.
Cat 5 e cable is an enhanced version of Cat 5 that adds specifications for far end crosstalk. It was formally defined in 2001 as the TIA/EIA-568-B standard, which no longer recognizes the original Cat 5 specification. Although 1000BASE-T was designed for use with Cat 6 cable, the tighter specifications associated with Cat 5e cable and connectors make it an excellent choice for use with 1000BASE-T ethernet networks.
The 8 Position 8 Contact (8P8C) (often called RJ45) plugs and sockets are most regularly used as an ethernet connector. 8P8C connectors are typically used to terminate twisted pair cable.
A patch cable or patch cord (sometimes patchcable or patchcord) is an electrical or optical cable, used to connect ("patch-in") one electronic or optical device to another for signal routing. Devices of different types (ie: a switch connected to a computer, or switch to router) are connected with patch cords. Patch cords are usually produced in many different colours so as to be easily distinguishable, and are relatively short, perhaps no longer than two metres. Types of patch cords include microphone cables, headphone extension cables, XLR connector, RCA connector and 1/4" TRS connector cables (as well as modular ethernet cables), and thicker, hose-like cords (snake cable) used to carry video or amplified signals. However, patch cords typically only refer to those short ones used with patch panels.

Former Springbok assistant coach Alan Solomons believes the Sharks or Stormers could become the second South African winners of the Super 14 while his outlook for New Zealand's franchises is bleak.
Solomons, who currently works as a high performance consultant for the IRB, coached the Stormers to a semi-final in 1999 and was also the assistant to Nick Mallett during a golden period for the Springboks when they went 17 Tests undefeated. In addition, he has also coached Ulster to the Celtic Cup title.
Speaking to keo.co.za from Belfast, Solomons predicted that the quality of the Sharks' squad and their coaching staff meant they had the best chance of winning the tournament, but he noted that the Stormers were an emerging force who would build on their improvement in 2008, and challenge for the title this season.
"My money is on the Sharks and Stormers to make the play-offs and then for one of them to kick on from there and win the whole thing," he told this website.
"South Africa are currently in a golden cycle in terms of the calibre of players we're producing or currently have playing the game at Super 14 level, and the Sharks in particular have the bulk of those elite players. They have the depth in talent, and in [John] Plumtree they have an outstanding coach. Their strength lies in the fact that they can rotate their squad and still field an unbelievable unit.
"The Stormers did well under Rassie [Erasmus - head coach] in 2008. I liked the brand of rugby they played and they've made some good signings between now and then. They'll build on what they achieved last year and if they can get into the semi-final anything can happen on the day."
Solomons noted that it would be a defining season for Bulls coach Frans Ludeke, who last year failed to mount a successful title defence with the Pretoria franchise.
"Last year was tough for Frans. He had just taken over the defending champions and replaced Heyneke Meyer, who had built that squad of players over a number of years," he said.
"He struggled to put his unique mark on that side, which makes 2009 a defining year for him. He did well in the Currie Cup, but the measure of the man will come in the Super 14. He'll be helped tremendously by the return of [Victor] Matfield though. I think people underestimate his impact from a playing and leadership perspective. It'll be huge.
"There's a question mark about how they'll go, but I certainly think they'll finish in the top half of the table. That said, if they play to their potential consistently they have the ability to win the tournament."
His outlook for the Lions and Cheetahs was less optimistic however. Solomons identified a lack of depth as the primary challenges they would have to overcome if they hoped to be involved at the business end of the tournament, but he didn't foresee them finishing in the top half of the table.
Meanwhile, Solomons noted the mass exodus of players from New Zealand to Europe would continue to hurt them.
"You could probably pick a very strong All Blacks side from the New Zealanders playing in Europe," he said. "Their franchises have suffered with some top players deciding to move north and [Dan] Carter's and [Robbie] Deans's departures will certainly make the Crusaders vulnerable.
"Neither they nor Australia have the depth of talent we have to combat an exodus like that. When I was coach of the Stormers [between 1997 and 2000] the New Zealand blokes would often tell me that a fifth New Zealand franchise is not sustainable because they simply didn't have the quality of players to fill five.
"This all points to a successful year for the Sharks and Stormers. I'm very positive about their chances. In fact, if they manage to keep their core of their sides together over the next four or five years, they could well dominate in the manner the Crusaders have."

Book Review: Shockaholic by Carrie Fisher
Simon & Schuster (2011), $22
By Brendan McLean, NAMI Communications Coordinator
By Carrie Fisher
Carrie Fisher is largely known for one role: Princess Leia. Her Star Wars notoriety has followed her and carried her through much of her life. But fame and fortune don't exclude you from illness.
In the past few years, Fisher has been open about her struggles with addiction and living with bipolar disorder. In her most recent biographical book, Shockaholic, tells more stories from her life. Her reason for writing this memoir: the possibility of losing pieces of her memory due to electroconvulsive therapy.
Fisher deserves recognition for discussing her personal experience with mental illness and discussing the role of ECT in her recovery, a topic not often openly discussed because of its negative depiction in the past.
Apart from the first few chapters where she discusses her reasons for beginning ECT, the horrible depiction of ECT n the book does not touch on the topic much at all. Mixed with her wit and humor, she mentions it sporadically throughout her book as the impetus for writing down these memories but does credit it immensely for helping pull her out of depression: "And whereas before my brain had felt as though it was set in cement, leaving me I don't know kind of stuck, the ECT blasted my Hoover Dam head wide open, moving the immovable."
Shockaholic is often funny and many times, random. Her stories, howeverincluding those with her step mother, Elizabeth Taylor, how she met and became close with Michael Jackson, and how she forged a relationship with her father, Eddie Fisher, after the two had been estranged for yearsilluminate the importance of why Carrie Fisher decided to write down her memories. Her stories help reveal the importance of being open and honest with yourself, making amends with those who you've wronged and living without regrets. With those three keys in mind, and Fisher's humor, the world is undoubtedly a better place.

Softball Closes Out Regular Season with Sweeping By Francis Marion; Await Final Seeding/Opponent for Friday's Tournament Opener
April 10, 2011
Story Courtesy of FMU Sports Information
FLORENCE, S.C. Junior second baseman Ashley Jaramillo drove in four runs with a pair of doubles as Francis Marion University blanked Pfeiffer University 6-0 en route to a sweep of Sundays non-conference softball doubleheader. Junior right-hander Kayla Ellingsen recorded the win in both games as the Patriots also rallied to win the opener 4-3. Playing its final home games of the season, Francis Marion ups its record to 24-19-1, while Pfeiffer falls to 18-28.
In the first game on Sunday, Pfeiffer grabbed an early lead with three runs in the top of the first inning. After an Amber Johnson walk, Hannah Jackson would reach on a FMU error. Two batters later, Sarah Waylock smacked a two-run double to center for a 2-0 Lady Falcons lead. Later in the frame, Rachel LaBar would single home Waylock for the third tally.
FMU answered with one run in the bottom of the opening frame. Ellingsen (11-7) relieved FMU senior starter Cea Knox in the second inning and pitched 5.1 scoreless innings. She allowed only five hits, while striking out nine.
Ellingsen also recorded the big hit of the contest, a two-run double to right in the bottom of the fourth inning that lifted the Patriots from a 3-2 deficit to a 4-3 lead.
Ellingsen finished game one with two hits as did center fielder Destinea Schneider. Junior first baseman Megann Sallinger was 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored.
Waylock led Pfeiffer with a 2-for-4 game that included a double, a run scored, and two driven in. Right-hander Allison Braswell (7-11) took the loss.
In game two, Ellingsen and Knox combined on a five-hit shutout. Ellingsen pitched the first four frames, while Knox tossed the final three to earn her second save of 2011.
Francis Marion took advantage of three Pfeiffer errors to score five times in the bottom of the third. Jaramillo had the big blast a three-run double to left center field. Seniors Jessica Hogan and Chelle Phillips also drove in runs with infield grounders.
The sixth Patriot run came in the fourth inning when Jaramillo doubled home freshman Brooke Barnhill. In addition to Jaramillo, FMU sophomore third baseman Tristan Faile also posted two hits in the second contest.
Pfeiffer's Jackson was 2-for-3 in game two, while Waylock added another hit. Shelby Brown (4-7) was the losing pitcher, although four of the runs charged to her were unearned.

The lack of snow in Tahoe did not delay the planned start of the Tahoe League Race Series, which kicked off on Saturday, Jan. 7 with the Auburn Ski Club Tahoe League Dual Slalom event at Boreal Mountain Resort.
Boreal has the benefit of high elevation and great snowmaking, which led to firm snow on the race course for the young competitors.
Dual Slaloms are exciting to watch and the fact that two skiers race two slalom courses simultaneously adds extra fire in the belly for the racers.
The 7/8-year-olds and 9/10-year-olds raced on Saturday, with Diamond Peak's Aidan Pretti stepping up to the podium in second place in the boys' 7/8 division and Otto Albrecht of Diamond Peak placing 11th in the same division.
On Sunday, Diamond Peak's Tim Novak raced to a fourth-place finish among 11/12 boys and Diamond Peak's Carl Moller finished sixth in the boys' 1/3/14 division.
Head Coach John Albrecht praised his team for training diligently over the holiday break with numerous 7:30 a.m. "early loads" to train prior to the resort's opening each day.
Over at Sugar Bowl Resort, the Diamond Peak J4/5s (girls and boys ages 9/10 and 11/12) raced in their first two-day slalom event of the season.
On Saturday, due to a chilly east wind, the conditions were icy with a tight-set course. Diamond Peak's Casey Delaney and Winston Pretti had the two fastest times for the J4 men on their second run, but both "did not finish" the first run due to falls and missed gates.
In Sunday's race, despite falling twice on the first run, Winston Pretti laid down the fastest second run to earn a third-place medal on the podium for the J4 boys.
Diamond Peak's Belle Johnson took fourth place for the J4 ladies and Satchel Hirsh skied to a 14th-place finish for the J5 men in his first-ever Far West race on Saturday.

The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming : Tall Stories Theatre Company
This absurdly funny Christmas story about a distressed potato pancake is the first UK stage adaptation from the rich and strange world of American children's author Lemony Snicket, best known for A Series of Unfortunate Events.
The story begins in a tiny snowy village, where a Hanukkah Latke, a fried potato pancake, is born screaming (as anyone would if they were thrown into a pan of boiling oil).
The Latke leaps from the boiling pan and races through the wintery village, encountering several different kinds of Christmas decorations, deep in the throes of festive preparations.
A show about being yourself and appreciating others. Will our Latke ever find where it belongs?
The cast of five play a variety of instruments including the ukulele, clarinet, saxophone, melodica, banjo and guitar with vegetable battles, sparkling lights and pine trees.
This event takes place at Roundhouse, which has achieved Gold Status for disabled access from Attitude Is Everything.

ELON — In what became a roll call of responding to adversity, the obstacles, one after another after another, that perhaps should have been too difficult for Elon University to overcome were not.
Leading scorer Lucas Troutman (sprained ankle) and starting guard Tanner Samson (strep throat) parked on the bench in dress clothes beside previously injured point guard Austin Hamilton?
Trailing by eight points with less than five minutes left? Eight scholarship players available? Heavy minutes logged by Elon's thinned core of remaining veterans?
None of those detriments deterred the relentless Phoenix, which delivered a clutch comeback for an against-the-odds, 61-58 defeat of Appalachian State in Southern Conference men's basketball Thursday night at Alumni Gym.
"This is a special victory, because of what we did, what our players did," Elon coach Matt Matheny said. "Our guys stepped up."
Sebastian Koch sank a pair of free throws to put Elon in front 59-58 with 4.5 seconds left and the Phoenix, the league's North Division leader rallying through crunch time, won for the ninth time in its last 10 games.
Ultimately, it went down as the latest step worth savoring in what has emerged as a season of significance for Elon (17-8 overall, 10-3 conference).
"We're becoming a veteran team and it's helping us do things like come back in the last few minutes of the game and get a win," said Elon junior forward Ryley Beaumont, who starred down low in Troutman's absence with 22 points and a career-high 13 rebounds.
After Koch's go-ahead free throws — he swished the first, then, after an Appalachian State timeout, the second one bounced in — Nathan Healy's hurled inbounds past midcourt was too tall for teammate Jamaal Trice, and Elon gained possession on the turnover by the Mountaineers (11-14, 7-7).
Jack Isenbarger nailed two free throws to give the Phoenix a three-point lead with 3.2 seconds left.
And when Appalachian State's Mike Neal missed a running 3-pointer from about 40 feet as time expired, Elon had won a grinding game that at times seemed sure to become its first Southern Conference loss at home since Dec. 1.
Isenbarger added 16 points and Koch chipped in 11 points. Pair their production with Beaumont's and Elon's experienced junior leaders, down to three on this night minus Troutman, supplied more than 80 percent of the team's scoring while nearly playing from start to finish.
Beaumont was on the court for 39 minutes, Koch 38 and Isenbarger 35.
"We just didn't do the mental things that it takes to win," Appalachian State coach Jason Capel said. "It came down to getting stops, and not taking care of the basketball. And we didn't defend them without fouling.
"We didn't do the tough things it takes to win."
Determination oozed from Beaumont, who wore something of a refuse-to-lose look down the stretch and scored eight points in the final 4:43, after the Mountaineers moved ahead 53-45.
Beaumont absorbed a foul inside while depositing a finger roll — punctuating that move with a fiery "let's go!" — then, 30 seconds later, faked Tevin Baskin off his feet and scored again, trimming the Mountaineers' lead to 54-53 with 2:15 remaining.
"He was sensational. He was a warrior," Matheny said of Beaumont. "He made tough plays, he made aggressive plays. I thought he made the right plays. And the way he communicated, it's taking leadership to another level."
Ryan Winters' bucket inside off Beaumont's driving assist and Beaumont's free throws with 57.8 seconds left kept Elon's deficit at one point.
Trailing 58-57, Elon came up with a knock-away on Appalachian State's ensuing possession. Kevin Blake dived on the loose ball for the Phoenix and then Isenbarger was dribbling across midcourt with about 20 seconds left and counting, as Matheny quickly contemplated calling timeout before deciding against it.
Koch ended up driving and drawing a foul in the lane on the Mountaineers' Trice while dumping off a pass to Winters.
This building held its collective breath as Koch, a 77.8-percent foul shooter, stepped to the line with 4.5 seconds showing.
"It's just me and the basket at that point," Koch said. "I'm just trying to shut everything out and just focus on the basket. In our lifetime we've taken a million free throws, so I just tried to stay with my rhythm. And when I made the first one, I knew I was going to make the second one, even though there was a little bounce to it on the rim."
Jay Canty's 17 points and nine rebounds led Appalachian State. Healy had 12 points and seven rebounds.
-- TIP-INS …: Matheny said he expects Samson to be well enough to play Saturday night against visiting Western Carolina. … Matheny said there's a possibility that Troutman, who missed all except the opening 18 seconds of Elon's victory last weekend at Furman, will be ready to play Saturday, too. … Elon led Appalachian State by seven points in the first 80 seconds of Thursday night's second half. A drought of only one field goal during a stretch of more than seven minutes (from 11½ minutes remaining to 4:14 left) forced the Phoenix into rally mode. … Junior forward Egheosa Edomwonyi and sophomore guard Kevin Blake made appearances in Elon's starting lineup. Thursday night marked the 41st game of Blake's college career and his first start. Edomwonyi started two games for Elon last season. … Blake missed 5½ minutes in the second half. He was down on the court in visible pain before being helped to the bench.

In October 2013, NYPD officers responded to multiple calls reporting a case of animal cruelty in the Bronx. Their investigation revealed that a dog named Red was indeed a victim of cruelty. His owner was subsequently arrested and charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty.
Luckily, this was just the beginning of a transformation for Red. When he arrived at the ASPCA Animal Hospital, he was thin and had multiple wounds on his head and leg. Red received treatment including IV fluids, pain medication and antibiotics. After six weeks of care and recovery, Red was ready to find a new forever home.
Just before Christmas, Red went home with adopter Zach C. to begin his new life as a beloved pet. Red, now known as Hank, is thriving with Zach and his cat, Frank.
"ASPCA volunteers stayed late so that I could bring Hank home before the Adoption Center closed for the holidays," Zach says. "Hank is now part of the family and adds his own personality to an already happy home. There's nothing like waking up with a dog who is excited to play and hang out with me all day."
Zach reports that while he was initially nervous about Hank and Frank getting along, the two are very curious about each other and love to compete for the attention of Zach and his girlfriend.
We're thrilled that Hank is so happy and healthy in his new home. Unfortunately, thousands of animals are victims of cruelty nationwide. If you live in New York City and witness animal cruelty, please call 311 (or 911 for crimes in progress) to notify the NYPD. To learn how to report cruelty in your state, please visit our Reporting Cruelty FAQ.
Ready to help more animals like Hank in 2014? Join us! Become an ASPCA Guardian, and for just a few cents a day, you can make a huge impact on countless lives.
I am so thrilled for Hank and his new pal, Frank. Thank you to kind and generous Zach for bringing Hank home to love and joy and fun and safety. Beautiful "happy tail."
love love this story. Good people do exist and prove "open heart" is rewarded with endless love that only an innocent animal can give.
GOD bless Zach and Hank and Henry : -)
Char, how about you stop butting in line. Don't reply to the first comment just so yours is seen. If you do, at least make it a response to the first poster.
lisa, you shut up. let her answer, okay?
Yes I agree with you Mallory, Lisa sounds like she is giving an honest comment, Lisa, I wonder what is up with you. We all just want to say we are happy for Hank and other animals like him. Lets be positive and focus on the point of donating money so that other animals can be saved from abuse like Hank.
Sorry I meant Lisa is having issues where people respond to comments.
Lisa should stay focused on saving animals, not saving spots for online comments

Manual or hand mills are great -
- When you brew small amounts of coffee.
- When you have limited counter space.
- If you want a conical grade mill on the cheap.
- If you live off the grid or travel a lot.
- If you want to avoid the noise of an electric mill.
- If you want a minor upper body workout.
There are a few factors to consider when purchasing a hand mill, such as, size, weight, capacity.... though probably the most important factor to consider is how will the mill will fit in your hand. Grinding on a handmill requires a sturdy grip, and you will want to maintain good leverage for the few minutes it will take to grind the beans. Consider a mill that you can comfortably grasp in your hand, or alternativly a Zassenhaus Knee Mill, which you can leverage between your knees. Manual mills are suitable for a drip, espresso and the finer side of a French Press Grind.

The Avid XO brakes are the meanest and leanest hydraulic disc brakes around. Weighing in at just 310 grams, the X0 won't weigh you down as you're hitting some gnarly singletrack. The unique shape of the lever combined with the newly designed cylinder and bleed port give you everything you love about Avid XO brakes while addressing an issue some riders were experiencing when going to bleed their brakes. The new TaperBore technology allows for more air to be cleared from the bleed port while bleeding the brakes and keeps any air bubbles left behind out of the hose ultimately resulting in a more powerful braking system.

Comments about Avid Xo Disc Brake 2012 Oe:
This is my second set of XO brakes. I loved the first set on my 29" bike. The disc brakes on my 26" bike were OK and difficult to maintain. These brakes are very simply to change the pads and to bleed the lines. So far my first pair has been bombproof. I expect this new pair to be bombproof as well. I would buy them again in the future.

Global Representation is committed to companies that are environmentally conscious.
To honor this commitment, Global Representation would like to acknowledge the following active customers for their environmentally friendly products and services.
Global Representation is the only website where manufacturers, service providers, and distributors can post their sales representative recruitment advertisements and receive high quality applicants to represent their business -- anywhere in the world. Global Representation can get employers connected with independent sales representatives who already have established relationships with their future customers. Why spend countless hours and resources trying to cold call your prospective customers? An employer's time and energy should be spent building an effective outside sales force that can immediately jump start their sales growth process.
Independent sales representatives work on a commission basis and only get paid once a sale is made. Stop paying for sales prospecting and start paying for performance.
