WISE 2014 Calendar
Our 2014 WISE Calendars are now available for purchase from the school for $25. This year, it features art from our Students, Staff/Board and Parents. The WISE yearly Calendar is a beautiful, useful way to support our school. You can pick one up from our office or the school store.
Camino Chocolates
Order Fairtrade and Organic chocolate bars and support our school. A great way for people to give twice through one purchase: to WESE, and to family farmers in Southern countries through Camino's fair trade business practices. For every $4 chocolate bar purchased, $1.60 goes to WESE. Chocolate bars are available in the school office
Stepping Stones Fundraiser
For our Garden of the future, we would like to have a winding path of Stepping-stones around the school, engraved with the names of those who helped support our school during its first years. By purchasing a stone, you will help us create a path to our future.
If you donate to our school between during our Stepping Stone fundraiser between December 2012 and March 2013, we will purchase and engrave a Stepping Stone, to be laid in the garden of our School in Fall.
Purchase a Stepping Stone and Help Create a Path to our Future
Please consider making a donation to support our unique programs. Each donation over $100 will be represented by a Stepping Stone to be placed in the garden of the WISE (ie, a donation of $700 will be represented by 7 engraved Stepping Stones, to be laid in the garden of our school). A donation of $2,500 or more will be represented by a garden bench, engraved with your name(s). A receipt for tax purposes will be issued for your donation.
Mabels Labels Fundraiser
It is very important that parents to label all their children's school belongings prior to the start of school. A great way to do this is to order labels from our fall fundraiser through Mabels Labels. They have packages just for school that includes clothing, shoe and container labels. Orders can be placed online at the following link. www.wise.mabelslabels.com. Labels are sent directly to your home.
Catfish Coffee
Order locally roasted, organic coffee and support our school. For every pound ordered, $5 goes to WESE and $3 for every 1/2 pound. Order forms can be found on the bulletin board outside the Wondergarten classroom, or downloaded here. Orders and payment can be dropped off in the parent lounge any time. Orders are placed around the middle of each month, with the coffee delivered to the parent lounge 1-2 weeks later. Each month, the order deadlines will be published in the WISE newsletter and on WESE's Facebook page.
Bulk Buying
Check out our bulk orders page for detailed information
Shop at the Enchanted Garden
The Enchanted Garden, the volunteer-run store within the WISE, is well-stocked with many Waldorf-related items that are difficult to find locally, such as Stockmar art supplies, Elsa Beskow children's books, wooden toys, and Waldorf dolls. The store is open Thursday evenings from 7:30-9:30 and is also open during most WESE events. If you have any questions, please contact the store director, Julie Yerex, at email@example.com.
WISE Wish List
Parents and Friends who wish to direct their gift towards something specific that benefit a student, class or the school may be interested in looking at our wish list. There are many opportunities to contribute financially and in kind. Please contact our office for more information.
'Many hands make light work!' The operation of WISE requires more than present tuition fees and fundraising can provide. In addition to the tuition funds that each family provides, we ask that families contribute volunteer time throughout the year towards the support of school operation and activities. The overall objective for all—parents and supportive volunteers—is to equitably share the work and financial cost of running the school. Please sign up for a volunteer task, and help enrich the school while strengthening our community. Many jobs can be done at home, in your own time. Please contact the office for more information.

I'm not a bodybuilder but as I'm training quite a bit, I find the Butterfly Chicken Breast + Spicy Rice + Corn On The Cob a good combo
guacho for steak
nandos for chicken

Gourmet Burger Kitchen is decent. Pretty much have your burger however you want.
Mcdonalds happy meals...
Pub lunch places
Curry houses (tikka/tandoor)
Seafood places
Anthing where you can get chicken/steak and rice/cheese/potatos is a winner - only places I wouldn't go is pizza places.
nandos! 2x butterfly chicken breasts 120g protein almost!
All you can eat buffet, Chinese is decent, chicken and rice followed by ice cream - PWO heaven
Do you have cheat days? Just go out to a restaurant on a cheat day, even if it's not a full cheat day and just 1 cheat meal for the week have it in a restaurant somewhere - doesn't matter which, that's the only way I think you could sustain sociability with your girl. Bodybuilding requires sacrifice but it's a bit selfish sacrificing your girls time because you won't eat or go places with her due to diet.

Andy Xie on China as a Ponzi scheme
The Big Picture links to an excellent piece by Andy Xie on China's recovery building up to a Ponzi scheme. He first sets the scene with the dollar.
Like in the 1970s the Fed is denying the inflation risk due to its loose monetary policy. The longer the Fed waits, the higher the inflation will peak. When inflation starts to accelerate, it would cause panic in financial markets. To calm the markets, the Fed has to tighten aggressively, probably excessively, which would lead to a massive dollar rally. This would be the worst possible situation: a strong dollar and a weak US economy. China's asset markets and the economy would almost surely go into a hard landing.He then looks at the Chinese market today.
Chinese stock and property markets have bubbled up again. It was fueled by bank lending and inflation fear. I think that Chinese stocks and properties are 50-100% overvalued. The odds are that both will adjust in the fourth quarter. However, both might flare up again sometime next year. Fluctuating within a long bubble could be the dominant trend for the foreseeable future. The bursting will happen when the US dollar becomes strong again. The catalyst could be serious inflation that forces the Fed to raise interest rate.Add demographics to this mix.
Chinese asset markets have become a giant Ponzi scheme. The prices are supported by appreciation expectation. As more people and liquidity are sucked in, the resulting surging prices validate the expectation, which prompts more people to join the party. This sort of bubble ends when there isn't enough liquidity to feed the beast.
The most serious damage that a property bubble inflicts is in changing demographics. High property prices bring down birth rates. When property prices decline after a bubble bursts, the low birth rate culture cannot be changed. Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan all went through property bubbles during their development. Their birth rates dropped during the bubbles and didn't recover afterwards despite government providing incentives. China's one-child policy alone will lead to a demographic catastrophe in two decades. The property bubble makes the trend irreversible: when the government abandons the one-child policy, there wouldn't be meaningful impact on birth rate.The trouble is I see something very similar happening in India vis-a-vis asset bubbles. I think the current *recovery* in the equity markets and real estate is more likely to be linked to the weaker dollar rather than any fundamental change; corporate earnings, for example remain weak.

The bad news is students on summer vacation will have to temporarily look elsewhere to curl up with a book. The good news is their old spot is getting a makeover.
The White Bear Lake Library is preparing for a $3.5 million overhaul to get underway this summer. The renovation is expected to bring the roughly 40-year-old building into the 21st century, according to Sandy Walsh, deputy director of the Ramsey County library system.
"Aside from a few cosmetic changes, the building hasn't been touched since it was built in the early '70s," Walsh said. "We're basically gutting it and starting over."
The outdated building isn't conducive to the growing and changing use of technology, Walsh said, adding that the building lacks adequate teen and children's sections and is without bathrooms that are accessible to the disabled.
Group meeting spaces, an increasingly popular use of public libraries, are also insufficient, Walsh said.
The project includes a 4,000-square-foot addition to the 12,800-square-foot library.
"We have been waiting for this," said Therese Sonnek, branch manager at White Bear Lake. "We are excited about getting some new stuff and expanding our children's services and meeting spaces. ... Our building is old, so it will be wonderful when everything is done."
The $3.5 million cost will be mostly paid for through the sale of bonds, Walsh said, adding that a small portion would be covered through the library system's capital balance fund.
A kickoff meeting to begin the design portion of the project will be held later this month with plans to close the library for construction in June.
During construction, residents will have to visit public libraries in neighboring cities, Walsh said, adding that White Bear Lake staff would be temporarily relocated to those locations to allow for expanded hours.
Knutson Construction and Bentz, Thompson, Rietow Architects are leading the design and renovation efforts, said Bruce Thompson, Ramsey County's director of property management.
The team will help the county adhere to Minnesota's Sustainable Buildings 2030 Guidelines, a form of energy-efficient building practices.
If it goes well, the county could adopt the model for future projects, Thompson said.
The White Bear Lake Library had about 150,000 visits last year, positioning it in the middle of the pack in attendance at the county's seven libraries, Walsh said.
After edging up for several years, attendance at public libraries metro-wide has seen a slight decrease in recent years, Walsh said, noting that attendance at White Bear Lake has mirrored that trend.
The next branch slated for an upgrade in the library system's master plan is Shoreview.
"We haven't even started in on that one yet, though," Walsh said. "First we need to get going on White Bear Lake."

The Bachelorette
JP Rosenbaum: Why Emily Maynard Should Pick Jef or Arie
JP Rosenbaum admits he went on The Bachelorette Season 7 thinking it would be a nice little vacation from work and a story to tell later. Little did he know he would end up falling in love with Ashley Hebert. Not everyone goes on the show for whatever "the right reasons" may be, but hopefully they aren't all just there to get famous, become The Bachelor or pick up more chicks online after their fifteen minutes of love journey fame.
Some contestants just seem more "real" than others and when HollywoodLife asked JP which guy he wants Emily Maynard to pick on Season 8, Cupcake explains, "Arie and Jef. They just seem like me, normal guys. The rest of them seem like they have an angle or an attitude and you don't know if they are playing a part or what their MO is. But these guys [Arie and Jef] seem, from what I see, the most real. I think that's what she's looking for."
Do you agree? Do you feel like JP is leaving someone out who is also normal and real — or should Emily be focusing on bromance buddies Jef and Arie?

Carbon piracy, lack of recognition of indigenous rights undermining REDD in Peru, alleges reportmongabay.com
November 30, 2011
Rainforest in Peru.
The report, authored by three Peruvian indigenous organizations — AIDESEP, FENAMAD and CARE — and the Forest Peoples Programme, says that several REDD pilot projects "are already undermining the rights of indigenous peoples, and are leading to carbon piracy and conflicts over land and resources" in Peru.
A statement from the Forest Peoples Programme explains:
Project developers are roaming the jungle attempting to convince indigenous peoples and local communities to enter in to REDD deals with promises of millions of dollars in return for signing away their rights to control their land and forest carbon to third parties. Many deals are being conducted using strict confidentiality clauses and with no independent oversight or legal support for vulnerable communities. Some of these peoples are not yet fully literate in Spanish, but are being asked to sign complex commercial contracts in English that are subject to English law. Many communities have already come to regret some early deals made with carbon traders and NGOs, and are now attempting to extricate themselves.
While the report expresses alarm about how REDD is progressing in Peru, it proposes another alternative: use REDD funds to secure indigenous peoples' territories and support community-based efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
"These community and rights-based approaches are cost-effective and proven to protect forests," said a statement issued by AIDESEP.
"Only in this way can REDD truly become an opportunity for indigenous peoples instead of a threat," added Alberto Pizango Chota, President of AIDESEP.

Glee Season 4: Dianna Agron Teases "Really Funny" Things to Come in Quinn's Return
Roughly a year ago, we would say that Glee's Quinn (Dianna Agron) — circa her baby-stealing phase — would probably be the last person who would be qualified to be a mentor. But now, things have changed.
Dianna talks to E! Online about her hugely-anticipated return to Glee's upcoming Thanksgiving episode, and says she will in fact be helping some of the newer McKinley students to learn the ropes.
"You come back seeing a lot of the graduates coming home for the holidays and really interacting with and mentoring the new kids who are trying to fulfill their legacy," she says.
Dianna promises that hilarity will definitely ensue, and we'll also finally get to hear her lovely singing voice again. "It leaves for some really funny moments and some really touching moments, and I get to sing in that episode, and that's always fun because I'm really trying to grow as a singer."
So who will Quinn be mentoring? Well, we know that she'll be spending a lot of time with Kitty — much to Santana's (Naya Rivera) chagrin — so that would be our guess.
And we can't imagine how much Dianna can really grow as a singer, since her voice is already amazing!

Like his wines, Heritage Oak Winery's Tom Hoffman has never been one for hyperbole or false deprecation: he just says it like it is; and if it makes sense, that's the way he does it. One thing you can always depend upon when enjoying a Lodi grown Heritage Oak wine: it will taste pretty much like the grapes it is made from, along with the vintage conditions shaping its sensations.

Meanwhile, the memo came in Monday (October 22) from Peirano Estate Vineyards, a property originally planted by an Italian immigrant named Giacomo Peirano in the 1890s: Lance Randolph – Giacomo's descendent, and current Peirano winemaker/owner – has taken off his red shorts!

The quality of the Petite Sirah grapes, according to Viñedos Aurora winemaker Gerardo Espinosa, looks "a little more intense than previous years," due primarily to a more dedicated regime of deficit irrigation. This has resulted in a 2012 harvest of smaller clusters and berries – higher skin-go-juice ratios, which tend to increase flavors while favoring a better.. VIEW MORE »

Allan Savory claims there is increasing desertification of much of the US (Letters, 27 March, p 56). On the contrary, a century and more ago much of the US was cleared of forests and turned into farmland, and this probably destroyed some species. But a recent increase in the efficiency of US agriculture is now releasing land from farming.
Forests are regrowing on abandoned US farmland at such a great rate that it seems the tree growth is consuming as much carbon dioxide as the total US industrial emissions of this gas.
This forest regrowth can be expected to result in greater biodiversity because existing species will enter the new forests and new species may evolve with the growing forests.

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|Initial pressings of THE JOURNEY included a bonus CD featuring 12" remixes.
|Personnel: Donna Summer, Barbara Streisand, Brooklyn Dreams (vocals); Giorgio Moroder, Vangelis (programming).
|Producers include: Pete Belotte, Giorgio Moroder, Gary Klein, Quincy Jones, Michael Omartian.
|Compilation producer: Bill Levenson.
|Includes liner notes by Brian Chin.
|As one of the few performers from the disco era to have a career beyond one-hit wonder status, Donna Summer has continued forward on her creative path well into the 1990s, necessitating the release of the two-disc THE JOURNEY: THE VERY BEST OF DONNA SUMMER. Summer neophytes will get their share of this diva's classic '70s fare including soft-core anthems ("Love to Love You Baby"), streetwalker tributes ("Bad Girls"), erstwhile Jimmy Webb covers ("Macarthur Park") and songs that became ubiquitously associated with proms and weddings ("Last Dance"). Disco aficionados also get a taste of deeper cuts, including "Heaven Knows," "I Feel Love," and "Bad Girls."
|This set also features Summer's foray into more straightforward pop like "She Works Hard for the Money" and "This Time I Know It's for Real," the comeback dance-pop smash that also doubled as a collaboration with '80s production team Stock/Aitken/Waterman. Although the second disc only contains five songs, it showcases the lengthy extended versions of songs that dance music fans are accustomed to hearing. This means you get 12" inch remixes of "I Feel Love" and "Hot Stuff," along with an epic version of "You're So Beautiful" that clocks in at just under 11 minutes.

Source: PC Authority
Lenovo's 2011 vision of the ultimate boardroom ultraportable, the ThinkPad X1, simply didn't live up to expectations. Now, however, the company has gone back to the drawing board and attempted to right the wrongs of its predecessor. Enter Lenovo's business Ultrabook: the X1 Carbon. There are minor niggles, but with the usual ThinkPad quality now matched with excellent performance and a modicum of style, the X1 Carbon seizes a deserved place on the A-List.

3317U: Ivy-Bridge-based ULV-CPU in Q2 2012. Offers a core clock of 1.7 - 2.6 GHz and an HD 4000 GPU (350 - 1050 MHz). The TDP is rated at 17 W.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
14.0": 14 inch display size is a mixture between the small formats of subnotebooks and the 15 inch standard display. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.4 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist only few sub-notebooks, which weight less. 10 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

The company initially began as a reseller, distributor and later CM for foreign brands, including IBM, entering the Chinese market. In 1990, Lenovo started to manufacture its own PCs and by 1997 became the market leader in China. In 2004, Lenovo bought IBM's PC business for $1.25billion.

Somalia's Transitional Federal Government must come to an end in August, a top UN official told RFI. Augustine Mahiga, the special representative for Somalia, said there have been "ups and downs" since 2004, but it will soon be time to "broaden the political base", ratify a new constitution and run elections.
Mahiga said in a telephone interview Wednesday that he wants a "much broader" political base to take over from the Somali TFG, involving the autonomous regions of Somaliland and Puntland, clan leaders, prominent religious leaders, civil society and grassroots organisations, as well as the diaspora and business community.
Mahiga, a Tanzanian career diplomat, believes that the TFG has already brought most of the armed opposition into the "political and military fold".
He calls those left "hardcore terrorists, who I don't think are interested in any kind of dialogue or to renounce their strategy of violence", such as Al-Shabaab, the hardline Islamist group fighting the African Union mission in the country.
"We think it is important that we use this opportunity to take stock of what the government has been able to do and not able to do," says Mahiga, of the transition.
He said it is important to "extend outreach, reconciliation and cooperation with the areas of relative stability in Somalia including Puntland, Somaliland and other local emerging administrations on the margins of the areas controlled by Al-Shabaab".
Somaliland, which is seeking international recognition, is according to Mahiga a role model.
"It has been going through a very successful political process and a democratic one for that matter".
But he recognises that the region is reluctantly part of Somalia, and despite efforts by the TFG, involving them in the next phase of Somali government "is going to be a difficult path to pursue".
On the other hand, Puntland, he says, is an area of stability.
"Despite the frequent forays of terrorists and pirates, it's not entirely lawless. It's probably an area of potential stability. I've been myself to Garowe and I've seen that it's a relatively safe place."
Parts of Somalia remain a battleground, and control of Mogadishu is split between Al-Shabaab and a contingent of federal government troops and African Union soldiers.
In spite of the ongoing fighting Mahiga is optimistic. He sees the ratification of a draft constitution by a "constituent assembly" over the next seven months.
Then he says elections "would be the ideal end of a peaceful and stable Somalia once the security situation is at rest".

Powertool earmuff discussion
If I'm venturing too far off-topic for the culture of the FB forums, let me know and I'll try to refrain from these kinds of discussions.
That said...
I'm curious what advice people have about powertool earmuff protection. These days you can get powered active noise cancelation earmuffs, same basic concept as the ones people use for more general uses, like airplanes and such, but there are also lots of passive, heavily padded earmuffs, the kind people have used forever.
Do people find that active cancelation works well with powertools? Would you recommend them?
With regard to passive earmuffs, are there any suggested ranges of performance, dB reduction, frequency range of effectiveness? Brands to go for, brands to avoid?...overall recommendations?
Re: Powertool earmuff discussion
This isn't exactly what you were asking about, but I have a pair of headphones with active noise cancelling. They're not earbuds, but headphones. I use them all the time at work (construction) to get rid of everyone else's noises- I don't wear them when I need real protection, as I do when I am running a saw or something else loud. They work pretty well to reduce the sounds other people are making with saws, radios, mixers, etc. I don't have to turn up my music to unsafe levels (I'm pretty conservative on volume) in order to hear. When my battery quit last week, and I had to use them without the noise cancelling, the difference was pretty clear.
I would expect that noise cancelling ear muffs would work pretty well. I use the plain ones when I need more protection than my headphones provide. Does the package for the ones you're talking about have a db rating on it?
My husband favors the earplugs you squash and put in, but they don't fit my much smaller ears well, and they itch.
Whatever you choose, be consistent in using it, because I know far too many people who are deaf as posts from not using protection!
Re: Powertool earmuff discussion
The NRR (noise reduction rating?) on passive headphones tend to be in the 20-30 dB range. Obviously, higher (stronger) is better. The active headphones are a little different. They don't have a single fixed reduction, but rather filter out loud noises while intentionally permitting quieter noises through.
However, not all active cancelation phones do this -- I've never seen this feature advertised for airplane active cancelatiion phones for example -- but some of the construction phones, do, aka the Harbor Freight phones mention a 85 dB cutoff.
I am considering using both squash-in-the-ear and muffs together. Haven't decided yet.
Re: Powertool earmuff discussion
Lots of cheap ones here:
Buy ear muffs from Bilsom, MSA, E.A.R., Moldex, and North.
I used something similar (and a respirator as well) for all the angle grinder work (I did not buy a big tile saw, so my small tile saw would not cut the angles...)
Re: Powertool earmuff discussion
Keep in mind, whatver you put on your head is going to be covered in brick dust. Expensive noise cancelling headphones will become as messy as your work boots. I've been using small yellow silicone ear plugs for a long time....the kind that look like a christmas tree with a blue cord running between them. You can pick them up at Home Depot or Lowes for cheap. They work great. Been wearing them for years riding my Harley and used them during the whole build. To get them into your canal you need to wet the silicone a bit (usually spit works) and they seal real nice in the ear. These are a whole lot better than the little foam earplugs.
Re: Powertool earmuff discussion
Ha! Excellent wisdom Breven. Thanks. I've been looking into the earplugs too. They often have a higher NRR rating than the earmuffs as a matter of fact; I just wasn't sure I believed it (I also considered using both :-D ). So, you're recommending silicon over foam. I'll bear that in mind.
Re: Powertool earmuff discussion
1 Attachment(s)
Now that I think about it, they might not be silicon...but they look like the picture attached. They might just be a soft rubber. The foamy kind that you sqeeze down and then shove into your canal, don't work nearly as well as these. Plus these are really easy to put in and take out when your not cutting bricks. Also, you can just clean them off with warm water and reuse them 1,000 times.
Now...maybe I should go see about an endorsement check from these earplug companies, eh?
Re: Powertool earmuff discussion
I've always had excellent luck with the squishy foam ones. They are easy to put in once you get the hang of it, and are available in 32 NRR, which better than just about anything out there. There are ones available that have a cord tying them together, just like the plastic ones Breven mentioned.
They are what I used when I was working as a line service mechanic on jetliners, so yeah... they work.
I also second what Breven said about noise-cancelling headphones getting dirty... that would be a sad, sad waste. They are great for constant, mid-level noise, but not so much for intermittent high-decibel protection, so they're really not even the best thing for the job.
Re: Powertool earmuff discussion
I didn't use the headphones when building my oven. I used plugs like Breven shows. I find that they itch, though, and have a pair of the big muff things now, as well. I use the headphones on job sites (building houses) to keep other people's tool noise down- sanders, saws, radio stations I hate, etc. I find them sufficient for this purpose, but NOT for when I am using the tool- too close up, they can't close off enough noise to be safe. Then I use the muffs. Nothing I am doing on a job site will get my headphones cruddy enough to be a problem. No drywall!

The Australian Privacy Commissioner has launched an investigation into Google after revelations that it had been recording data transmissions on WiFi networks using Street View cars.
Google this week admitted to collecting samples of transmissions -- called 'payload data' -- on non-password-protected networks, in addition to publicly broadcast SSIDs and MAC addresses.
It claimed to have been collecting SSIDs and MAC addresses to improve its location-based services, as GPS and mobile tower data was often "insufficiently accurate".
The collection of payload data was a mistake, Google said, promising to dispose of the data following advice from international regulators.
While Privacy Commissioner Karen Curtis said that publicly broadcast SSIDs and MAC addresses was not considered personal information under the Privacy Act, the collection of payload data was a different story.
Curtis was reported to have met with Google representatives on Monday, and is discussing "action to be taken by Google in respect of any information it has collected".

Idiots? Well...aren't you the clever one? You and the rest of the pom-pon shakers can probably look forward to rooting on your fav Euro Wings to more greatness in the springtime "world championships" going forward. They'll be available the way things are going. Meanwhile, undersized forwards (sound familiar, Moron?) out of the OHL are leading LA into the Cup finals
He made 1st team at the IHOP World Championships! BooooYaahhhh! More Indispustable Proof of the Pure Genius of Hockey Town's GM and front office! In other news, LA's up 3-1 on a team that has to rent its ice time for practice. These two heavyweights still fighting for the Cup in May. But they can't place any of their fancy players on the IHOP 1st team. Losers
Not a problem - OK with making the playoffs then being exposed as frauds in April, party on, Garth. Might want to expect something more, though, from an outfit with the chutzpah to call itself Hockey Town and the "most successful team of the Modern Era." Up to you
We'll see what this vastly overrated GM does now. Better hope he wasn't serious with the CYA nonsense this weekend. Look at the trend last 4 years - no more complicated than that. Yet all he does whine about how hard it is with the CBA and it's not his fault. So all you Critics, Listen Up: we're better than Toronto so count your blessings and Shut Up
Deal with it DS89, this guy loves The Johan. He and the pom-pon shakers can whine all they want about Cap reality. Boils down to personnel evaluation with this guy and the rot's been setting in for four years now
Yep...that's the GM called the league's "gold standard"
Punxsutawney Johan stuck out his head from the locker room last night. Saw his shadow, went back inside. 5 months of offseason
Lotta questions about Holland? Ya think?
Good post, HH. Wonder what The Johan plays? Titleist, Taylor Made or Ping? Might be a little cold on the course over in Sweden next week, but he's a Tough Guy - he'll just fire those famous afterburners. Holland will be with him over there, scouting the next wave of supremely skilled Jan/Feb Wonders
Still looking for those "afterburners" to fire from Mr. Playoffs Franzen? First four games more of that "psychological possum" from Babs? Got 'em right where there want 'em now, eh? Old gray dudes, they ain't what they used to be. Great job, Holland - really fine work. Put yourself in for a bonus
No kidding, slow-d. And water's wet. The Johan's useless. This is him being "tough." Actually, it's an upgrade to hiding out in the trainer's room. Babcock either needs to demand Holland fixes this roster or take a walk
Good for Babs - finally stating what rest of this league has known about this team. Don't have the personnel to get back at Weber and haven't for years. Hope his boss finally learns
Whoa, whoa, whoa. The Johan actually hit somebody? And knocked them down?! Holy Jumpin'! Holland needs to extend his contract for another three years
Hang on to that dream
Maybe Bertuzzi will shoot him one of those withering glares
To paraphrase Grapes (and for all the pom-pon shakers out there, he originally directed it at Cindy): if you're gonna look for trouble, you're gonna find it
So predictable. Or as Uncle Mick would babble: Holy Jumpin'......Put Up or Shut Up time's arrived and we're back to hugging the second shooter conspiracy theory (4th installment). Not to worry - the Mule's getting ready to "fire his afterburners"
Good intro. Bet here is Nashville smacks The Johan in the grille early and he folds right up. We'll see
Holland will deserve every bit of criticism he gets leveled at him when this bunch gets shown the door this month. Upside, LGRW and all that, will be that after a third-straight crummy performance he'll finally start pruning the dead wood. For starters this summer trade (waive, fire, charge $10 for Hot'n'Readys and eat the contract, whatever) this malingerer Franzen. Let him go pout in Sweden or Putin's league
THAT is a dead parrot / No, he's resting. Beautiful plumage!

Volkman (13) Husaberg, was punted by Butch Jensen's 462 on day 2 stage 5, 10 mi north of San Juanico. He is pissed, especially for a super mellow dude, and his crew even more so. As they should be. It took an act of God to get NORRA to DQ the assailant. I tell ya, some people have no business out there and the effects of horsepower, ego and adrenaline outweigh common sense.
You could be the best rider in the world, but when the vados aren't denoted by exclamation points in the RB, I'm over it. People that rode the Purisima to Loreto section in 2012, were on a different course this rear as a result of the storms last fall.
Franky, I was relieved to stop racing when I did. My wife getting sick was a blessing in disguise. Like JB said, and I respect his position, I think I wont race again, at least not like that.
Further, it ain't a rally, Nice folks they all are, but it ain't a freakin rally if the winner didn't even have a roadbook reader. Give a man a GPS file and he won't be watching for the vados, mis vatos.
my rally report here:

Beyond the Architectual Experience...
I mean, to think of my life architecture program-less would be different. For the past 8 years its been all I think of; analyzing, designing, hypothetical thinking, and realistic thinking, would be lessened quite dramatically. Although I would probably be using the same logic throughout my life, I think the artistic, bodily, and architectural factors would still be a huge contribution to what I do now regardless if I was partaking in the program or not. For the past 6 years I have owned and operated my drywall company, with six employee's, and all the equipment you could imagine. This outfit has been very good to me for the years that i have been doing it, and chances are, if i was to be denied my architecture program, I would continue on with the profession I have created and succeeded. As you know drywall is a very important part to compliment architecture, internally that is. I would continue to take pride in my work and the work of my crew to produce some pretty outstanding interior design finishing touches. This particular field of work is for an artist, it takes precision, patience, focus, and a keen eye. This job focuses on the majority of things stated in the prompt. In fact, the most difficult part pertaining to this would be the lifting, monotony, and SANDING. Oh how I HATE sanding. It is part of the job however, and I must do it for it to turn out phenomenally well. Like I said, I take pride in my work and I'm not done until the customer is 100% satisfied. Nice sales pitch aye!? So this whole drywall thing would be how I would contribute my services, and abilities to help people in need that either hate drywall, or don't know what they are doing. I have, however, given up a lot of jobs to go back to school, as I don't have the time to go out bidding on homes while I'm studying to better my life. This has hurt both my employee's and I, I am grateful that they understand, and I continue to keep them working while I am away. Although it is hard, I line up jobs to keep them busy until I can get back up north to find more, but usually contractors call me, and I just set it up through them, being, I have worked with them for six years, and there is trust and loyalty amongst our companies. Back on the subject,...I would continue with this profession if I hadn't the choice.
Here is a few pictures of a job I've done...This is how I would continue to impact my environment.
So, that being said, if any of you need me to impact your environment, give me a call!!

"THE situation may be much worse than we thought," says Duncan Wingham of University College London, about the rapid melting of Arctic ice due to global warming. "There simply hasn't been a change like this for the past million years."
It is to keep tabs on the depth of floating sea ice in the Arctic that Wingham's team designed CryoSat, due to be launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) on 8 October from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in north-west Russia.
CryoSat's radar-based instruments will also measure the ice cover in the Antarctic, Greenland and Alaska. The mission has gained in urgency following observations showing that the annual melt of Arctic ice now occurs earlier than ever before (see "Arctic ice shrinking as it feels the heat).
The launch will be watched closely by ESA, as this will be the first of its satellites to be carried by a Rockot ...

School board elections move to November
Today, Gov. Snyder signed into law PA 232 and PA 233, which require school districts to hold elections during the general elections in November of even-numbered years beginning Jan. 1, 2012. According to Snyder, this will cut administrative costs and "help schools maintain focus on educating students" and make sure school board elections are held when voter turnout is highest.
What these new laws really do is again strip school boards of local control and make school board elections more political, with school district business being lost in other issues.
Along with the MEA, many school district officials opposed the legislation. With these new laws, school board members will be in their seats longer since the next school board elections will be held in Nov. 2012. If board members' terms ended in June 2012, they would stay in their seat until Dec. 31, 2012.
Another concern is that the make-up of a school board could drastically change in the middle of a budget year. School district budget years run from July 1 to June 30.

My study partners and I examined texts, batted around ideas about being Jewish and American -- and revealed some of the most personal aspects of our lives.
I had never met the five men at the table before tonight, and yet with very little small talk, we jumped right into an examination of the essence of our identity as Americans and as Jews.
That some of us were Orthodox, others Reform, Reconstructionist or simply Jewish, was a fact lost as soon as the conversation began -- which was the point of "Meeting In Torah," an evening of interdenominational study at the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles' Westside facility, sponsored by the Board of Rabbis of Southern California, a Federation-affiliated agency.
Later we would sing together to the music of Sam Glaser, then gather in different groups with different rabbis.
The buzz of learning enveloped the 250 people, including 15 rabbis, who sat at conference tables in two rooms, and spilled over into the lobby.
In my group, Abraham, who had come from Iran in the midst of the hostage crisis, spoke of the intermingling of his two identities: He was able to enter America more easily because he was a Jew, and he could practice Judaism more freely because he is an American.
Salvador tapped into the idea, brought through Biblical and Talmudic texts, that we are responsible not only to the Jewish community, but to all those around us.
Allen grappled with the question of whether he had more in common with other Americans, or with Jews from anywhere in the world.
Most of us in my group came to the conclusion that in an inexplicable way, there was something remarkable about the common language all Jews share, where creating a connection with someone you've never met comes naturally.
We weren't talking about ourselves. But we may as well have been. The connection was there. The shared experience was there. And for one evening, at least, the differences disappeared.
We welcome your feedback.

Fernando Torres is excited about the prospect of playing with Cesc Fabregas at Chelsea next season.
The striker has failed to set Stamford Bridge alight since joining the Blues from Liverpool for £50million in 2011, managing only 20 goals in 110 English Premier League appearances for the West London side.
But he hopes the arrival of Spain team-mate Fabregas can help him and Chelsea when the new campaign gets underway.
"I wish he could have joined us a couple of years earlier," Torres told Spanish radio station Onda Cero.
"He is a blessing for strikers, he always looks to find that final key pass - he's the type of player Chelsea don't have."

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The Saint Leo men's basketball team, behind a 25-point, 15-rebound night from senior Jordan Prais, nearly erased a 22-point deficit to come within one possession of drawing even, but could not complete the comeback as they fell to host American International College 76-70 on Saturday afternoon.
After a poor-shooting first half, the Lions came out a reenergized team and completely shut down the host Yellow Jackets to quickly erase the double-digit deficit.
The Lions came out very sluggish at the start, hitting just one jumper in the first five minutes, while the host Yellow Jackets were on fire from the opening tip, hitting five shots, including two 3-pointers to take a nine point lead into the first timeout.
The AIC roll didn't stop there in the first half as it seemed they couldn't miss from the field, using the glass and the 3-point line to push their lead to 22 points with three minutes to go. The Yellow Jackets would take a 16 point lead into the lockers as they shot 50 percent from the field and 43 percent from behind the arc.
The beginning of the second half seemed to be the same story as AIC again stretched the lead to 22 points with 17 minutes to play. For the next five minutes the game hovered between an 18 and 20 point advantage for the hosts from Springfield.
With AIC up by 20 with 11 minutes to play it seemed the game was on its way to an uneventful ending, but suddenly Saint Leo came alive and stormed back, outscoring American International 22-5 over the next nine minutes. Suddenly, fans in attendance looked up to the scoreboard and saw the visiting Lions trailing by just three points at 69-66.
After trading baskets for the next two minutes, the Lions saw themselves in a prime position to draw even. After AIC missed two free throws with SLU trailing by three and less than a minute on the clock, Saint Leo pulled down possession and took the ball down the court looking to knot the game.
With 24 ticks on the clock, the Lions saw a Jamal Thompson trey attempt spin the iron before rimming out and getting pulled down by the Yellow Jackets, who would promptly be fouled. AIC would make their resulting free throws as the clock would run out on the Lions' comeback attempt.
Prais' double-double gives him 1490 points and 719 rebounds for his career, tying him with Duane Fort '88 for sixth all-time at Saint Leo. His 15 boards in the AIC game see him leap-frog Ron Taylor '90 for fourth all-time. Ironically enough, Prais now sets his sights on Fort's 726 rebounds for third all-time.
SLU also saw Jeremy Jackson drop in 18 points in the loss as the Lions outscored the visitors 40-30 in the second half.
AIC guard Isiah Wallace scored 23 points to help the Yellow Jackets hang on for the win.
The Lions will now travel to Manchester, NH to face Southern New Hampshire University. Saint Leo and the Penmen will tip-off at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
