Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
ATOMIC athlete Jossi Wells continues his already strong 2011/12 winter season with victory at one of the biggest inner city big air events last weekend. The London Freeze attracts riders from across the globe and is one of the most highly respected titles on the big air calendar.
The European inner-city big air competitions are among the most coveted titles on the freestyle circuit. As the opening events of the season, they are a chance for competitors to lay down their biggest tricks and send out a message of intent to their rivals. ATOMIC athlete Jossi Wells continued his run of form from his 3rd place finish at Freestyle.ch with a win at the London Freeze last weekend.
The iconic and impressive Battersea Power Station that acts as background to the London Freeze was upstaged on Friday night by the freestyle action taking place around it. ATOMIC athletes Jossi Wells and Elias Ambühl were both looking to build on their success from Freestyle.ch in Zurich, where Elias had claimed gold and Jossi bronze. Elias looked unstoppable with his double corked 1440º mute grab. Jossi was also looking good, and one of the few people to drop into the jump switch, with a switch double 1080º safety grab. It was no surprise to see them both in the last sixteen and the finals. With a head to head format for qualified riders, the athletes were only three rounds away from the super final.
The seeding for the head to head rounds was based upon the qualifying scores, and both ATOMIC athletes easily made it through their first battles to the last eight. Unfortunately it was at this point that the two riders met in an unbelievable quarter final. Elias Ambühl was first out of the gate and laid a high marker with another textbook double corked 1440º. Jossi Wells didn't hold back either and found his best switch double 1080º of the night, displaying huge amounts of style. The difference was a mere point to Jossi. On their second jump Elias fell and effectively handed Jossi the pass to the next round, the judges described it as one of the best head to heads of the evening. ATOMIC athlete Jossi Wells then went on to win the event, beating Oscar Scherlin in the final with the trick that had been serving him well all evening, the switch double corked 1080º. It was another good weekend for both of the ATOMIC athletes, and a continuation of their excellent start to the season.
Check out Jossi Wells' and Elias Ambühl's ATOMIC Punx.

CANTON James Sabre Jr.s future lies in the hands of a St. Lawrence County jury.
The 44-year-old Waddington mans sexual-assault trial concluded Tuesday afternoon, with his case turned over to jurors after 3 p.m. Jurors deliberated for over an hour before being sent home for the day. Deliberations are set to resume at 9:30 a.m. today.
Sabre, who is accused of attempting to assault three women on three different dates in 2010, resumed his testimony Tuesday, the final witness to speak before closing arguments.
According to prosecutors, Sabre knew all three women and tried to force himself on each of them.
Speaking about the woman he allegedly assaulted in a bar entrance, Sabre testified that they were social acquaintances and often had done drugs together prior to that night in summer 2010.
She realized that I smoke weed, she smoked weed, and thats how the relationship started, Sabre said. It was mostly marijuana-related.
Sabre testified that the woman was seeking cocaine from him the night they sneaked away from a post-bar gathering at his home under the pretense of looking for the womans lost phone.
He denied that he tried to force himself on the woman in a bar foyer, as she previously testified. Rather, he said the two began kissing and hugging and stuff like that, until Sabre saw one of the womans friends approaching and thought it was the womans boyfriend. The two then stopped and exited opposite doors of the foyer.
Sabre also said that while he had never had a sexual relationship with the woman, she had on previous occasions grabbed his buttocks and genitals while socializing at the bar.
Sabre also disputed the version of events given by a third victim, who claimed he grabbed her by the wrists and tried to sexually assault her in a reclining chair at his home one night. They had gone there after Sabre drove an intoxicated friend home in the womans car when they left the bar together. According to Sabre, the woman smoked marijuana with him, listened to music and danced, and then they began
kissing in the chair. The woman stopped, Sabre said, saying, Bucky, I cant do this because she was friends with his ex-girlfriend.
It ended. No is no, Sabre said.
Defense attorney Peter A. Dumas, in his closing, urged the jury to be skeptical about whether the prosecution had met the burden of proof.
Really, there has been a lack of evidence here, Mr. Dumas said. He said there was no medical evidence, no physical evidence and no eyewitness evidence with respect to any of the alleged attacks, merely he said, she said allegations.
Assistant District Attorney Amanda N. Nissen told the jury to be mindful of inconsistencies in Sabres testimony compared with statements he gave a county investigator in 2010, as the jury heard in a recording of his interview.
In particular, Ms. Nissen asked the jury to consider why Sabre was heard mentioning only marijuana and pills to the investigator when asked about drug use at the bar, but not cocaine, as he later mentioned in court. None of the women, Ms. Nissen countered, had any motive to tell you something other than the truth.

Time to "Free the Airwaves"
(Cross-posted from the Official Google Blog)
For quite some time we've been talking about the potential of the unused airwaves between broadcast TV channels ("white spaces") to provide affordable, high-speed wireless Internet connectivity nationwide. For this to happen, the Federal Communications Commission must allow unlicensed use of this spectrum.
If you care about the future of the Internet, now is the time to take action. The FCC has completed its field testing and is expected to make a ruling in the coming months. With this in mind, today we're launching Free The Airwaves, a new effort to bring users together around this important issue.
To help you to learn more about the tremendous promise of these airwaves, people from around the country have filmed video testimonials. Matthew Rantanen of Tribal Digital Village explained how freeing the airwaves would bring new opportunities to the Southern California Native American community, currently underserved by today's broadband providers. Wally Bowen of the Mountain Area Information Network discussed the potential of these airwaves to bring broadband access to rural communities. Many others have also weighed in, and we hope you will too.
At its core, Free the Airwaves is a call to action for everyday users. You don't need to be a telecommunications expert to understand that freeing the "white spaces" has the potential to transform wireless Internet as we know it. When you visit the site, you'll be invited to film a video response explaining what increased Internet access could mean for you, to sign a petition to the FCC, to contact your elected officials, to spread the word, and more.
When it comes to opening these airwaves, we believe the public interest is clear. But we also want to be transparent about our involvement - Google has a clear business interest in expanding access to the web. There's no doubt that if these airwaves are opened up to unlicensed use, more people will be using the Internet. That's certainly good for Google (not to mention many of our industry peers) but we also think that it's good for consumers.
That said, we can't pretend to speak for you. To learn more about what's at stake and to get involved, check out FreeTheAirwaves.com. We hope that once you've explored the facts for yourself, you'll want to make your voice heard.

Are there any plans to also target the UK with your free the airwaves campaign?ReplyDelete
Does anybody with more design skills than I have want to design a badge people can stick on their blogs/sites to promote this?ReplyDelete
Too bad none of your videos show any of the downsides of your campain. While I understand all the sentiments used in pushing your ideas here, I don't think they are all genuine and they don't point out all the bad things.ReplyDelete
1. One of the videos makes it sound like the Whitespaces are being released to the public. In fact that's not really true, it would likely be auctioned off to the highest bidder just like some of the other upper UHF TV bands were recently by the FCC. Who gets that money.. yep Uncle Sam. Who gets the bandwidth.. the hightst bidder.
2. No mention is made of the current users of the white space bandwidth. I am an audio professional. Guess what frequencies are used by almost all wireless micrphones these days. Yep.. unused UHF TV channels. By letting a bunch of consumer devices into this bandwidth you have essentially killed a bunch of wireless microphone technology. That doesn't seem like a big deal until you really think about all the places wireless mic technology is used. Politicians, your church, any Broadway or local theatre, any sporting event or live broadcast. You name it!
Well that's my $0.02..

Can someone explain to me how this would be used for internet access?ReplyDelete
I understand how I can get the wifi signal as it will be broadcast from some central point - but how will I send data upstream?
I am very upset with Google for taking this stand. What Google says is totally false. The "white spaces" are being used by every American every day. All of the wireless microphones and other wireless technology that is used in the entertainment and sports fields use these spaces and if they are successful in "freeing" these whitespaces our way of communicating will come to an almost complete stop. Wireless mics are used in TV, athlectic events, live theatre, political events,and the Olympics. Google is doing this to make more money and they do not care about the truth.I for one am contacting Google advertisers and letting my voice be heard, please join me.ReplyDelete
If it's free... I'll take two.ReplyDelete
A quote from http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-10014456-94.html?hhTest=1ReplyDelete
"Simply stated, the prototype devices were unable to consistently identify operating wireless microphones or distinguish occupied from unoccupied TV channels," said Mark Brunner, Shure's senior director of public and industry relations. "More troubling, the devices failed to detect the presence of wireless microphones when switched on--an occurrence that takes place multiple times during any NFL game."
I would be happy to support the "Free the Airwaves" campaign, but not at the risk of incumbent technologies.

"More troubling, the devices failed to detect the presence of wireless microphones when switched on--an occurrence that takes place multiple times during any NFL game."
Google should not be allowed to monopolize ALL of the white space that is currently being used daily by others -- from your pastor/rabbi to Miley Cyrus to Barack Obama. Google needs to start being reasonable and stop being so greedy.
What Google wants is to tell EVERY church, synagogue, public and private school, non-profit organization, government building, sports complex, entertainment hall, live event venue, convention hall, every single sound company, every musician, politician, and public speaker, etc. that uses current wireless devices that have been in use in some form for three decades w/o FCC intervention, to throw it away come Feb 09 and buy new equipment that doesn't yet exist in these troubling economic times simply because Google wants to make a few more billions to add to their already incredibly deep pockets.
Do you think it's really fair to tell the small sound company owner that has invested $100k in equipment that as of February 09 the stuff is useless and offer him no solutions, rendering him w/o any way to make a living simply because Google's CEO wants to make another couple of billion dollars on top of the $13 billion he's already worth?
Let me ask you this? Do you like going to concerts? See a Broadway play. Perhaps? Go to a political rally maybe? Watch your 1st grader's recital in the school auditorium? If Google does what they want to do and take over ALL of the white space ALL of that will disappear. ALL of it. Oh you can try but instead of hearing Bruce Springsteen sing "Born to Run" you'll hear Brtiany and Kim's cell conversation about how Chloe is a skank. Or, instead of hearing your pastor's rousing sermon you'll be hearing some heavy metal band playing some street festival nearby.
While it has been in development for a couple of years, the replacement technology (ultrawideband and digital) for live sound does not yet exist and as you can see by the link that adam provided the technology to share the white space with those already using it does not yet exist.
So sorry but those of us who eek out a living in the live sound industry just can't roll over and let the big Goliath that is Google take away our livelihood.

Acne Solutions Oil-Control Cleansing Mask
This oil-absorbing clay mask is still well-suited for those struggling with acne (and/or oily skin).
Clear Regular Strength Daily Skin Clearing Treatment with 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide
This anti-acne treatment contains 2% benzoyl peroxide, which kills acne-causing bacteria and prevents future breakouts.
Add to Faves?
In order to make the Best Products list, anti-acne products must be able to truly make a difference in breakouts by:
For killing acne-causing bacteria, benzoyl peroxide is considered the most effective topical treatment. Generally, benzoyl peroxide products come in concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, and 10%. As a general rule, it's best to start with a lower concentration to see if that works for you. If not, you can then try the next higher concentration.
If you find that the higher concentrations of benzoyl peroxide don't work, then it may be time for you to consult a dermatologist for a prescription topical disinfectant and/or for other topical acne treatments (e.g., Retin-A, Avita, Tazorac, or generic versions of these [active ingredient tretinoin, and, in the case of Tazorac, tazarotene]). Differin (adapalene) is also a very good prescription option.
For exfoliating inside the pore lining and helping with blackheads, BHA (salicylic acid) is preferred over AHAs (such as glycolic acid) because BHA is better at cutting through the oil inside the pore. Penetrating the pore is necessary to exfoliate the pore lining. However, some people (including those allergic to aspirin) can't use BHA, so an AHA is the next option to consider. If that describes you, please refer to the list of Best AHA Exfoliants elsewhere on this site.
For absorbing excess oil, use gentle, non-drying cleanser and, when needed, mattifying products or absorbent masks. Oil-blotting papers are also an excellent way to keep facial shine in check when you're away from home.

What's more essential to our democracy than voting machines that we can trust? Nothing, that's what. Citizens must have confidence that all votes will be counted accurately.
So, before we rush into using computerizing voting machines, let's do everything we can to make sure they are not easily manipulated by computer hackers or unscrupulous politicians.
The solution is simple. Each machine should be required to print out a receipt for voters. This would provide a record and a method for a reliable recount in case one was ever needed.
I don't understand who would ever be against this common sense idea.

I think Fred Richardson's letter to the editor in a recent edition (Sun Advocate, July 31) is a masterpiece of clear thinking. I'd like to see that letter printed in every newspaper in the country. Most of all I'd like to commend Fred for standing up and telling it like it is

This is that LawnGnome that whats-his-name is always ranting about?
GNOME 2.10 is going to be the latest and greatest thing from the GNOME Desktop Project this March 9th. Here is a sneak peek of some of the things that are currently in the GNOME 2.9 development snapshot.
This is a Work in Progress
Full Peek here!
This is that LawnGnome that whats-his-name is always ranting about?
It does look very nice
Lots of features that I always wondered where they were in other desktops.
Thanks for the heads up, eh?
Lawn Gnomes are evil!! Don't say I didn't warn you! On a related note, I wonder if the new release will come with any sort of speed bump?Originally Posted by Fatal Error";p="5793
signed: whats-his-name
A speed bump would quite nice if it's there in 2.10. With that said, I think Gnome is not as bad as a resource hog as it's reputation suggests.
E.g., I am running Gnome 2.9 on a 233MHz G3 w/ 288MB RAM. And although it's not a speed demon, I can still get a lot done using Gnome. It doesn't seem unresponsive or bloated or slow... But that could be because I yanked out Jaguar to install Ubuntu. Hmmm.

The main difference between your normal, everyday cutting board and commercial cutting boards is the size and color variety. Your typical home cutting board measures about 12" x 24", but commercial cutting boards can be much more generous in size. They also come in a mixture of colors to help separate foods, even purple for those allergy causing foods. When keeping foods segregated and needing plenty of cutting room is part of the game (which is in every commercial kitchen, right?), stocking up on commercial cutting boards is a given.

Dorothy's Diary: Body Shame and Hiding Our True Selves
Confession time:
Well...I need to confess something to you. On date #1 with Mr. Dynamic, he actually did more than touch my legs. He pretty much touched everything there is to touch. And I returned the favor.
The reason I'm confessing is because I want to talk about body image and how a negative body image affects your sex life and romantic relationships. And I believe this is also connected to food and food issues.
When I was younger, I had some very bad reactions from certain men after taking off my clothes. I also had some good ones, but it's the negative ones that stick with you. For example, I heard: I cannot marry you because I can't stay attracted to your boobs/body. Another comment: Can you please put your bra back on? Yeah, those are actual statements said to me. Seriously! And I completely believed them and felt ashamed, like I was damaged goods.
This photo was taken by an old boyfriend. He thought my hips were a little too big and he was the one who couldn't marry me because of my body. I remember exactly how I felt at that time - I thought I was fat, yes fat and not pretty. Now looking at the photo, I see a beautiful young girl. Why couldn't I see it back then?
I'm telling you all this because I have spent my whole life and so much energy on hiding my body beneath my clothes. Nothing too tight. Wearing two bras to the gym to hold my chest down. All sorts of secret measures. Keeping a t-shirt on in bed during sex, trying to cover my chest with pillows. Anything I can think of to avoid being completely naked. Naturally, I've always been a "lights off" gal. Even while having sex, I'm thinking about the position, what does my body look like, how can I hide the jiggly parts. It takes a whole lot of energy to hide yourself. It's almost impossible to experience full pleasure, let alone an orgasm.
Over the years, it became a terrifying experience to take off my clothes in front of a man, especially the first time. I never knew what kind of reaction I would get. I used to wait until I had dated the man for a while, until I knew he liked me. I thought he would accept my body more if he liked me. (Nope, not necessarily the case.) Then I decided NO, take your clothes off early on in case there is a bad reaction. Then who cares if you never see the guy again.
I'm giving you all this history to let you know that I was pretty darn scared on that first date. I mean I was petrified! We started out with nice conversation and a glass of wine, but in his New York ways, Mr. Dynamic was direct and pretty intense. Not letting me avoid or hide. Then it turned a bit romantic. Okay, not a bit. It felt more like the earth was parting under my feet. Mr. Dynamic took off his shirt and then said, "Okay, you next." I had to instantly decide what to do. What the heck? Don't think! Just go for it. I took off my top, then my skirt. He took off his shorts. Then he took off the rest of my clothes, and OMG I was naked. Just plain naked, out of my environment, and almost numb with the fear. Then I heard Mr. Dynamic say, "You have awesome tits," and I knew it was going to be okay. He said, "Guys must date you for your chest," and it felt like the greatest compliment ever. I started smiling. This was a GOOD reaction.
The only thing I'll mention at this point is that when I saw Mr. Dynamic naked, I almost started whooping with delight, and said a thousand thank you's to the heavens above. That was one sexy naked man standing in front of me. And he took charge from there. I'm not saying it was all breezy, easy beautiful. Some TMI excerpts:
Mr. Dynamic: I have never had to work this hard to get someone to relax and have fun in bed. Ever! (Said after over an hour of him trying to make his moves while I was jumpy and resisting and scared.)
Mr. Dynamic: You are the most uptight chick I have ever met. I would NEVER have to worry about you sleeping around. (I told him I was surprised he hadn't given up yet. He responded by saying he might have when he was younger, but not now that he was older and wiser.)
Mr. Dynamic: Owwwwwwwww (holding his jewels because I accidentally kicked him while trying to turn around on the bed.)
The good news is that Mr. Dynamic knows a woman's body, and once I relaxed enough, the night was FANFUCKINGTASTIC. I mean, I couldn't have dreamed it up that good.
I wondered what would happen at the end of playtime. Would he ask me to go? Would I pick up my clothes and sneak out? I wasn't sure what the protocol was. As it turned out, there was no discussion. I went to put on my t-shirt, and Mr. Dynamic said, "No clothes in bed." Then he put his arms around me, pulled me into his body and went to sleep.
I'd love to say that I slept blissfully in his arms. That wasn't the case. He never moved. I was a restless sleeper; I could not stay still. Then I couldn't breathe. I felt a bit claustrophobic. I kept moving over to my side of the bed, but Mr. Dynamic would move over too. Finally I hit the edge. I got up out of bed and went into the living room several times. I tripped on a step and broke my big toe nail. I finally just stayed out on the couch and stared out the window until the light came up. Mr. Dynamic, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly in his bed.
When he woke up, Mr. Dynamic cooked me a lovely breakfast. He acted like this was the norm. I didn't tell him that I wasn't used to spending the night - and I certainly wasn't used to a man cooking me breakfast! It really was this amazing date - packed with nervousness, fear, discovery, self-awareness, personal growth, and best of all, really great sex. When I drove away, my body was alive and my mind was calm.
A little over a week later:
I didn't know if I was going to see Mr. Dynamic or even if he would come over (although there had been lots of sexy calls and texting). But I just wanted the house to have clean energy again. I opened all the windows and let the fresh air in. Washed the dishes, did loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen countertops, stove, etc. Next came the bathroom, then swept and mopped. Wow, I was feeling so proud of myself! Did more laundry. Time to pick up the bedroom, make the bed, fluff the pillows, hide the sex toys.
Then I checked my phone. Mr. Dynamic had tried calling me at:
What??? I was in such Cinderella cleaning mode that I hadn't noticed. I called Mr. Dynamic immediately.
Me: Hi there.
Mr. D: Hi, I'm in Auburn headed your way.
Me. What?! You are?
Mr. D: Yes, now how do I get there?
Me: Umm... Do I have time to take a bath?
Mr. D: Yes, I think you should.
Me: Okay, bye.
RUN! Run down the hall and start running the tub. Shoot, shoot, shoot. No notice!! Thank GOD I cleaned my house. I'm not joking. Thank God. I would NOT have let him in. I have NEVER invited anyone over, especially not a man. OMG. Shoot. Okay, think. Take bath, shave legs (second time now), some lotion for the legs, and quick, what am I going to wear?! Shoot, I can't wear the same thing as before. What am I going to wear?!?!
Throw on shorts and a sweatshirt. Now I know that's not sexy but he could arrive at any moment. It was the first thing I grabbed. My face was clean - no makeup. Slooowww down, Dorothy.
My cell phone rang. It was Mr. Dynamic. He's a bit lost. He tells me he's a mess, and I said, "Good, thank God. I don't have makeup on." He asked why I needed that (love him), I told him "to look beautiful," and he simply ignored that and asked for directions. I ended up staying on the phone with him the whole way until he arrived. I heard knocking on my front door. I quickly brushed my hair and did a quick prayer to the universe. Then I opened my door...
I tried to give him the tour but he just started kissing me and was sort of lifting me/dragging me towards my bedroom. He was a man with a focus. My head was spinning. I think he was naked on my bed in less than three minutes. Off went my sweatshirt. Off went my shorts. I flung my bra and underwear across the room.
Here's the amazing thing. THE AMAZING THING. I took my clothes off and I did not try to hide or cover up. I did not worry about hiding my jiggly parts. I did not try to put a pillow over my chest. It's unbelievable but I was not self-conscious at all. This is the first time - THE FIRST TIME EVER EVER EVER - that I felt like this. I cannot tell you how utterly liberating it was. I have spent so much energy on covering up and avoiding my body.
For now, let's just take a two-hour pause so you can watch the butterflies and hummingbirds that are flying around my ceiling and outside my window. I'm hearing zippidy doodah, if you wish upon a star, and any other Disney song you can think of. Bluebirds are singing. Flowers are smiling at me. I am dancing barefoot on the clouds.
I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, I am alive.

Awww, congrats! I felt like I was reading a romance novel. :) Truly spectacular. I feel like within the past year, I have gone through the same rejection as you experienced in your past (online dating). It has made me weary to pursue any new relationships. I'm a naturally shy persion, and in a weird place where I don't feel comfortable being really forward, nor do I want to make the guy not interested by not doing giving him what he wants. Your Mr. D sounds like a perfect match. I hope one day I find my Mr. D :)

My husband and I have been together 20 years and he is the most wonderful man. He never makes me feel less about anything. My relationship before that was the exact opposite. It makes all the difference to have someone in your life who makes you feel special. I'm very happy for you!

The City of Colorado Springs is seeking regional talent to compete in the Cascade SmartScape Challenge sponsored by Xerox. Led by City Councilmember Brandy Williams and Mayor Bach's Streetscape Solutions Team Leader Dave Munger, the competition seeks to recruit local professionals to help create a streetscape design concept for the future. The demonstration's goal is to enhance our community and beautify a central location in downtown Colorado Springs while demonstrating environmental and financial sustainability. The median on Cascade Avenue between Pikes Peak Avenue and Colorado Avenue will be redesigned as a result of this community competition. The winning retrofit will incorporate beautiful cutting-edge design and concepts such as permeable surfaces, native and xeric plants, recycled materials, local materials and low maintenance materials.
The City of Colorado Springs is hosting the Green Cities Coalition's fourth annual meeting at the Gold Hill Police Station Community Room, 955 West Moreno Avenue, on Thurs., Jan. 26. (This location is a site of some of the City's latest energy efficiency retrofits.) The Green Cities Coalition is ready to take the next step… creating a 501(c)(3) nonprofit which can receive grants, have tax deductable dues-paying members and a paid coordinator. The coalition will share the group's latest significant green initiatives - a great chance to network and get involved. It's a potluck from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Please plan on bringing your own reusable plates, cups and utensils. RSVP with what food you'll be bringing to email@example.com.
The City of Colorado Springs and Greener Corners recycle/trash bins located throughout downtown and in major parks are seeing average diversion rate of 40 percent. That's 40 tons of recyclables over 8 months with an estimated environmental equivalent of:
City offices often receive holiday cards from community businesses and appreciative residents. After the holiday season, the City is sending its cards to St. Judes Ranch to be reused. So far, more than 625 cards have been collected from offices and employees. St. Jude's Ranch for Children turns them into new cards that can be purchased to help support their non-profit program. Those who come to the Mon. Jan. 30 Green Bag Lunch-n-Learn my also bring cards to be sent to the St. Judes program. Cards can also be reused locally for crafts, gift tags or postcards. When recycling cards, first remember to remove felt, glitter, metallic foil, photos and any other non-paper items as these parts can't be recycled and should be sent to the landfill.
Looking back at 2011, there are many things for our community to celebrate. Here are just ten of them!
The City is cleaning out supply closets and before throwing items away or recycling them, it's trying to find them a second home first – either in another City work group or with a local non-profit. For the last several years, the City has held an annual supply-swap. It helps reduce office supply costs, brings awareness to making prudent office supply purchases, promotes inter-departmental teamwork and shows respect for the Earth's limited resources. Local businesses are invited to join the City's efforts and donate any unwanted but usable office items on Friday, Feb. 3 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. On Monday, Feb. 6, following the internal event, local non-profit organizations (with proof of local, non-profit status) are invited to "shop" at no cost from remaining items from 1:30 to 4 p.m. and take whatever they can use. Typical supplies include 3-ring binders, printer cartridges, organization tools, microfiche machines and professional development materials. Furniture will not be available. Questions? Contact Cheryl Callahan at 385-5543.
In 2010, the City and Colorado Springs Utilities created a pilot program using Energy Efficiency Community Block Grant (EECBG) funds. The project, which united local college students and businesses interested in energy audits and retrofits, ended when the ARRA funds ran out in 2011. Yet, its legacy lives on through the connection made between Colorado Springs Utilities engineer Steve Doty and Pikes Peak Community College. Doty's primary job is to perform energy audits for commercial and industrial customers. In fact, it was Doty who oversaw audits of several City-owned buildings in 2001 which ultimately lead to the retrofit of three facilities – the City Administration Building, Stertich Ice Arena and Senior Center. Doty, who is also a nationally-recognized energy efficiency author, is continuing to train the next generation via a state-approved Energy Management Technology Program now offered at Pikes Peak Community College. Students benefit from a mix of theory and practical applications. Those who complete the course will be prepared for certification from the Association of Energy Engineers and may also obtain an Associate in Applied Science degree. Ultimately, the City was so impressed with one of the participants from Doty's 2010 project, that this person was later hired to serve as the City's Energy Efficiency Services Administrator. For more information, read a Colorado Sustainability Record story or visit the Pikes Peak Community College web site.
In December, a group made up of the Downtown Partnership, neighborhood organizations, local non-profits and City staff took a half-day trip to Denver to tour award-winning affordable, sustainable housing. The Denver Housing Authority's Park Avenue development includes mixed income stacked flats, townhomes, commercial space, a Bike Share station and LEED-ND/ LEED-NC certifications. The sites incorporate principles of smart growth, new urbanism and green design such as geothermal and solar energy, low impact development stormwater systems and urban agriculture. Click here to watch a short, fun video of the tour from the City's YouTube site.
Each month throughout the winter, dedicated Colorado Springs resident Michele Mukatis pulls together an opportunity for active community members to network and learn more about environment-related topics over lunch. It's called the Pikes Peak Environmental Forum (PPEF) and it's been around, in one form or another, for about 20 years. PPEF began as way for professionals specializing in environmental fields to earn continuing education credits. Over the years the topics have become somewhat less technical and appeal to a broad range of attendees. February's topic is "Agriburbia" and in March the City, also a 2012 PPEF sponsor, will present "Colorado Springs's Efforts Toward a Sustainable Future." While the presentations are free, attendees are expected to purchase and pay for a delicious lunch, usually at The Margarita at Pine Creek restaurant. To RSVP or be added to the e-mail notification list, contact PPEF coordinator Mukatis at firstname.lastname@example.com.
On Monday, Jan. 30, local sustainability consultant and Living Building Challenge Ambassador Stella Hodgkins will provide an overview of this voluntary building standard, the most stringent of its kind. As a free "Green Bag" Lunch-n-Learn she'll share how certified buildings achieve net benefits to the natural environment. Just a few years ago being able to achieve this level of built environment construction might have seemed like science fiction, yet now more than half-a-dozen Living Building Challenge facilities exist. All certified projects meet exceptional green building requirements, such as integrating urban agriculture, preserving natural habitat area, achieving net zero water and energy, managing 100 percent of generated stormwater on-site, offsetting the project carbon footprint, creating an end-of-life materials management plan, including cultural features, providing public education/access and purchasing locally to support the regional economy. The lunch-n-learn runs over the noon lunch hour, from 12:11 to 12:49 p.m., at the City Administration Building, 30 S. Nevada, in Suite 102.

Difference Between Eating and Dining Together
Eating is the simple act of feeding the body. It's something we need in order to survive in life.
Dining, on the other hand, goes deeper than just putting food into our mouthes. I've always said it's a spiritual connection that we have between God and the people sitting in our dining chairs. It's more than food, presentation, and taste. It's about people and what happens around our tables and it's good for our souls.
When you think about the "setting," it can add an element of "life" whether a fancy restaurant, a picnic, an outdoor dinner party, an elegant wedding celebration. It's not always about the food, is it?
I love eating with old friends, even "older" friends, and getting to know new friends, reminiscing, sharing, serving (yes, when we have a dinner party in our home, my husband and I will "serve").
It's all about relationships.
What if the conversation is boring? How do you liven it up? Add personality or charisma to the evening? That's a tough question, because depending on our attitude, if we're being hospitable (realizing that it is not about us!) it takes the pressure off of expectations and disappointments. We have to think of questions to ask one another. It's okay … that is how we get to know each other.
I recently overheard someone saying that 'dining' is much stuffier, more pretentious than just eating. Again, it depends on how you view the experience. No matter how fancy the restaurant or home, if it's a place where we all come together to laugh, share and commune, so I don't see dining as a stiff experience. Stiffness comes when we are rigid, unknowable, and we can't connect with others.
Going in to a meal, I've really noticed that my attitude changes everything. It's a barometer for how I treat my family ahead of time, my guests at the door, and then for the remainder of the evening. If my attitude is bad, the "feel" of the eating experience can become fake and shallow.
A riff
It's about the diners. The guests. The bodies in the chairs … however you want to put it. We all know that being in the most creative place, stunning ambience, enticing food … but you're with someone who has no respect for you, or you for them, it changes the experience.
Interesting food
Edith Shaeffer is a role model of mine. She wrote about food being an art in her book, The Hidden Art of Homemaking. She changed my view of how food should be presented nicely, how it should have flair and flavor, and how it can become a work of art. There's nothing better than going to dinner in a home or restaurant that serves "interesting" or beautiful food.
What about thinking ahead to your dining experience and having a vision of how it will nourish your body, but also your soul. I know that sounds "heady," but that thought recently came to me when we were preparing to go to friends' house for a fabulous meal. I was excited thinking ahead to my friend's cooking and how I was going to sit back, enjoy, relax, and savor every bite.
When you look around and see that everyone is having a good time, that is success. We'll never know what each pallate experiences, and usually we don't discuss every bite with those around the table. But when there is laughter, joy, and an overall sense of happiness – I just chalk it up to a good time for all.
I think of classy dining for sure with linens, even if ti's just the cloth napkins. It's also classy when everything has some kind of continuity, or matches … where there is a pattern, color scheme, or even though it's simple, a good feel.
I really don't care about gourmet and I try not to use that word very much. I think it's pretentious, in a way. Gourmet paints us in a corner, it labels us, it's a little snooty. When it comes to hospitality and entertaining, again, the food is important but the experience goes way further than the fine details of how food is cooked and served. I love gourmet, yes, but I'd never want to make anyone feel bad who doesn't cook so elaborately.
So again, there are places that bring more to the table than a meal (eating = putting food in the mouth). Dining together means that we enjoy the flavors, no matter the setting, but we really enjoy the company.
Good company makes food taste a whole lot better.
Wouldn't you agree?
How do you define the difference between eating and dining?

You said it so well. Eating is a necessity. Dining is more about communion with those we love.
You really made me think about this…for the past few months we have definitely been eating (stuffing our faces in front of the tv) rather than dining. Last night, we went to a restaurant with friends and suddenly the meal was about conversation and laughter, not stuffing our faces. Much better!
Sandy, I'm going to use this for my Foods class at school! I'm always trying to get them to view food with a "bigger picture"! Thanks so much!!!
Eating is what we do when we have to rush out to a class on a Wednesday night. Dining is taking the time to set the table and relax over a meal for just a few more minutes. Dining can be as simple as a BBQ on a Saturday night if it's created with care.
In our house, we're really relaxed. it's all about literally feeling comfortable in your surroundings. If we feel comfortable, meals go really well :) :) We have a good time at mealtime and there's no pressure to be or do anything in our home. It's really nice :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather :)
Sandy, I love this! You are speaking my language! Going to give a little talk at a bridal shower coming up about this very thing–I think bridal showers are a perfect opportunity to impart these ideas and encourage the next generation to invest in dinnertime and those gathered around their table. Passing this along today :)
Excellent definition! It really is all about relationships. :)
Loved this post. Yes, it is about the people. And love Edith Schaeffer's work. Such a thoughtful approach to life.
I totally agree. I think of dining as something that is done to perhaps impress others, eating together is all about relationships.
Hi Sandy,
Just love this post – so insightful. I too love The Hidden Art of Homemaking. Such a wonderful book. And yes, good company when dining makes all the difference in the world.
Before my husband and I were married he looked at food as simply fuel – – – nothing more. Inhale and go. To me that defines "eating".
Once we were married, we would sit down and eat dinner together – often over very simple faire…some times just homemade chicken soup and toasted bread spread with butter. But as we would eat we would chat, getting to know each other better. My husband would often pull his chair closer to mine and we would linger at the table, sometimes holding hands, enjoying a bit of hot tea and a little bite of dessert. It was wonderful. To me, that is dining. :-)
Have a great day.
I love this! And it is so true. We have always come to the table together for dinnertime. It is all about relationships and good conversation. I always said, "you can eat standing up, but you must sit to dine."
Ah yes eating together, gathering to eat. More often than not lately we eat, but we are not dining. Last night we dined. We all sat together as a family at the table we prayed, we shared, we passed the food, we laughed. It was a beautiful thing.
I wish we as American's would learn something from other cultures. I am married to a man of Russian decent, and the culture of food is so different than ours. They do have hurried meals of course, but when they have guests, it is very different! Tables are set up, wherever…no matter how small the house is, it is not for its decorative appearance, but then the food is set around the table. You sit and eat, and talk, then tea is served with desserts. As you sit there, cut up fruit may appear, and other candies….more tea is served. Last night, dry fish and a sort of "bacon" that they eat raw with mustard and garlic came out during tea time! We sat there for over 3 hours, visiting and eating slowly. You don't eat as much as you think that way. You eat slow, you learn that they will be offering you more and you take your time.
But I am always amazed at it! It is one of the best experiences!!!
Oh, Sandy! I love Edith Schaeffer! I gave her book "Hidden Art" to my grown daughters, and have given "What is a Family?" as a wedding gift many times. Definitely worth reading! Thanks for sharing.

PAWTUCKET — This comeback ran out of steam.
After falling behind by a 4-0 score and getting blanked for 7 2/3 innings by Gwinnett Braves righthander Omar Poveda, the Pawtucket Red Sox found a way to battle back in the last two innings off him and reliever Wirfin Obispo and nearly pull off an amazing victory.
But it wasn't meant to be for the PawSox, who soon found themselves trying to battle back from a 6-1 deficit in their final swings and ended up with a 6-4 loss – their fourth defeat in their last five games – on Thursday night before a small gathering at McCoy Stadium.
Poveda, who improved to 3-2 and dropped his ERA to 2.35 (the third lowest in the International League), worked eight innings and only threw 93 pitches in his longest stint of the year to help Gwinnett – just a week ago, owners of a 14-game losing streak – earn its fourth win in its last five contests.
He limited the PawSox to five hits and a walk through his first seven innings of work, but the hosts banged out a pair of hits in the eighth that led to their first run.
Brock Holt led off with a rocket double that one-hopped the wall in front of the Braves' bullpen, and with two gone, he rambled home on a sharp single to left by Jose Iglesias, sliding across the plate on a very close play.
In the top of the ninth, Gwinnett added two insurance runs off reliever Chris Hernandez, who worked the final five innings and threw 97 pitches, but in the ninth, Poveda exited the contest in favor of Obispo, and the PawSox did their best to storm back off him.
A leadoff walk to Drew Sutton and a two-out free pass to Jeremy Hazelbaker was soon followed by a ringing double deep into the gap in right-center field by Ron Bermudez that drove in both runners.
Obispo then wild-pitched Bermudez to third, and Holt kept the inning going with an opposite-field base hit to left that allowed Bermudez to easily score and bring the tying run to the plate – No. 9 batter Alberto Rosario.
That sent Gwinnett manager Dave Lezotte to the mound to pull Obispo and bring in his closer, Cory Rasmus, to put out the comeback, and Rasmus only needed two pitches to get Rosario to ground out to third and end the contest.
PawSox starter Rubby De La Rosa worked the first four innings, striking out three batters and allowing only one base hit as he matched his season-high in pitches with 71.
But De La Rosa struggled with his control, especially in the first and fourth innings, and only threw 36 strikes. He ended up with four walks (two in each of those innings), and it was his last free pass of the night that came back to bite him.
With two outs and no one on base in the fourth, De La Rosa walked Brandon Boggs, and the next batter, Joe Leonard, hit what appeared to be an inning-ending fly ball to right field. But Hazelbaker, playing right fielder, dropped it, and Boggs was able to score all the way from first.
The visitors made it a 2-0 contest in the sixth off Hernandez, who walked the first batter he faced, Joey Terdoslavich, and then gave up a long double into the gap in right-center to Boggs that drove in Terdoslavich.
The PawSox nearly got on the board in their half of the inning when Rosario led off with a hustle double to left-center (his first hit in three games with the PawSox) and dashed to third on a sacrifice bunt by Justin Henry.
The next batter, Iglesias, then smacked a sharp grounder to shortstop Paul Janish. Rosario tried to score on contact, but he was thrown out at the plate with ease.
Instead of being down by a run, the PawSox soon found themselves trailing by four in the seventh, no thanks to Todd Cunningham's two-run homer – only his second blast of the season in 141 at-bats.
With one out, Jose Constanza blooped a single into center, and Cunningham followed that by golfing a 1-1 pitch by Hernandez into the PawSox's bullpen in left.
The Braves scored their final two runs in the ninth on a two-out, run-scoring double in the left-field corner by Cunningham, followed by an RBI single to right from Tyler Pastornicky. Little did anyone realize at the time that those two runs would end up paying dividends in the bottom of the inning.
EXTRA BASES: Boston Red Sox closer Andrew Bailey will make a rehab appearance in Saturday's 6:05 p.m. game at McCoy against the Indianapolis Indians. Bailey threw 15 pitches in a simulated game on Thursday afternoon before the Red Sox's game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. … Another rehabbing Red Sox pitcher, southpaw Franklin Morales, will get the start in that game, his second with the PawSox. … Pawtucket left fielder Bryce Brentz's seven-game hit streak came to an end. He went 0-for-4. … Rosario, the PawSox's catcher, threw out three would-be base stealers, two of them trying to swipe third. … PawSox reliever Chris Carpenter (right triceps strain) and first baseman/outfielder Mark Hamilton (right wrist fracture) were both placed on the 7-day disabled list (retroactive to May 14). As a result, the PawSox went into Thursday's game with just 23 active players, putting them two under the roster limit. … The series with the Braves concludes tonight with Alfredo Aceves (2-1, 3.50) making his fourth start for the PawSox opposite Daniel Rodriguez (2-3, 6.82). Game time is 7:05 p.m.

Vehicles with J.D. Power Quality Ratings
The Ram 2500 and 3500 HD pickup trucks gain a few new features this year including more torque for the 6.7-liter turbodiesel and a new heavy-duty vinyl seat option for the work trucks. New power-folding trailer-tow mirrors help when towing and parking.
Ram 2500 models gain a new 5-link independent rear suspension for 2014. A new 6.4-liter Hemi V8 along with load-leveling rear air suspension is also available on both the Ram 2500 and 3500.
While the half-ton pickup market is the bread and butter of the industry, when it comes to serious towing and payload, it's the heavy-duty 3/4- and 1-ton models customers rely upon. With no foreign competition to speak of, Ram has only the Ford F250/350 and Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra HD to worry about, although perhaps it's Ford and Chevy that should be worried. With a class-leading 30,000-pound tow rating and best-in-class payload and gross combined weight rating, the Ram HD for 2015 is no slouch. Exclusive to the Ram brand is a multi-link rear suspension that vastly improves on-road comfort, while an available diesel engine with a manual or automatic transmission gives customers a wide range of choices, making the Ram our pick for heavy-duty chores.

warm weather — and warmer waters — is a possible cause for their sudden appearance on the Oregon coast. The warm weather we've had made our water a little bit warmer and possibly brought the squids up to the surface,read my article

This is not that uncommon for this time if year. These Squid moved into the area several years ago and seem to be getting more and more numerous as the years go by. We are in a warm water year which might have someing to do with it as well.

He'll jump up from a set of post-practice push-ups to talk about the tattoos across his midsection dedicated to his younger sisters. And if it's Dwayne Difton on the other side of the football? Howard will do his best to tattoo him before showering his "little brother" with trash talk.
"No. 1, I feel I am a leader," the junior cornerback said Tuesday. "No. 2, I like to talk trash because I know other guys will compete even harder with me because they don't want to get played in front of everybody. Once I start talking, once I start getting in their chest, they want to get right back at me. It ain't nothing but competing."
One of the enduring sights of 2009 preseason workouts is No. 6 jumping up and down, high-fiving, exhorting teammates. If he's not leaning into Malik Generett, he's getting stiff-armed to the ground by Difton only to drill the hotshot freshman after he stepped out of bounds.
"Every time I go with D-Dif, it's all out," Howard said. "I want to make sure I beat him down every time, because he comes hard. We both have that mentality in everything we do. We're trying to make each other better every day.
"I call him my little brother. He calls me big brother. I've taken him under my wing the way Darius Butler did with me. We're all from the same area [South Florida]."
On this day, Howard's reveling in a practice dedicated to the two-minute drill. Passes are flying everywhere. He's a magnet to the ball.
"I love the two-minute," he said.
You get the feeling he loves the other 58 minutes, too. He got his nose snipped by Randy Edsall in the spring after he dived into the end zone after an interception. That display of showboating got him thrown out of practice, a lesson that there is a line between exuberance and hubris.
"I got excited about making a play and did something stupid," Howard said. "You won't see it happen again."
Howard isn't a captain. He only seems that way. He is assertive. He is engaged. He is non-stop. This is not the nervous freshman fumbling away a punt at West Virginia. Remember the team-high four interceptions last year? The Big East-leading 11.8 yards per punt return, including the 69-yard TD at Syracuse? The fumbled punt in the International Bowl? Or the un-fielded punts that twice pinned UConn inside the 5 at Rutgers? This isn't even the sophomore who tight-roped through those highs and lows. Howard looks different. He understands nutrition and conditioning. He's only 5-9, but he's stronger physically and surer mentally. The little guy is poised for a very big autumn.
"He has tremendous ability," Edsall said. "He has tremendous confidence now."
"I've been a punt returner since I was 7 in Pop Warner. I won't give it up for nothing. I plan on being the Big East leader again this year."
"A new offensive coordinator, new offense, everybody wants to know what's going on. I understand. But the defense is still the same. We're NASTY."
"I hope they throw my way. Whether they do or don't, I'll find a way to get the ball somehow."

It's that time of year again, when we start coveting coats, searching for sweaters, and yearning for scarves--but not just any old winter pieces will do! From Dasha Zhukova to Bianca Brandolini D'Adda, the seven stylesetters in today's edition of Styling Tips have inspired us to pass on the plain and neutral in favor of more lively pieces--patterned tights, a graphic topper, and head-to-toe prints, anyone? Even basics should have a bit of a twist this season, whether it's swapping your standard knit sweater for an oversized, turtleneck iteration or smartening up distressed jeans with a sophisticated blazer coat. Admit it, your cold-weather collection could use the update!
Tip #1: Keep cozy this winter in a chunky turtleneck sweater.
Where would our fall wardrobes be without a knit sweater or two? This year we can't wait to snag an oversized iteration with a cozy turtleneck inspired by this look, courtesy of Stockholm Street Style. We particularly adore how the well-dressed civilian teamed the roomy piece with slim leggings and basic boots, creating a proportionally balanced ensemble.
Get the Look
American ApparelUnisex Oversized Fisherman Turtleneck Sweater ($135); 3.1 Phillip Lim Funnel Neck Cocoon Sweater ($575); Otte Nancy Solid Sweater ($450); Autumn Cashmere Textured Cowl Poncho ($385).
Tip #2: Try a velvet miniskirt in a rich, autumnal hue.
We're always excited to see what Leigh Lezark wears to all the fashion shows, and this season we definitely weren't disappointed. At the Givenchy S/S 13 show in Paris last month, Lezark selected Kenzo's Yellow Boiled Wool Sweater ($453) and Yellow Micro Checked Velvet Skirt ($640, 877.773.6735), which she paired with black tights and ankle boots. We admire the mix of rich yellow hues, plus the velvet skirt lends the overall outfit a sumptuous look.
Get the Look
American Apparel Velvet Full Woven Skirt ($38); Jenni Kayne Straight Velvet Skirt ($495); Yves Saint Laurent Vintage Velvet Skirt ($261).
Tip #3: Forgo the jewelry and opt for an embellished neckline instead.
If you don't have time to search for the perfect necklace to complement an outfit, consider emulating Cody Horn and opt for a top with an embellished neckline instead. The actress was spotted at the Environmental Media Awards in Los Angeles last month wearing a two-in-one top and skirt from Barbara Bui's Resort 13 collection with Monique Lhuillier lace heels. You can't go wrong with built-in jewelry, as it simplifies the what-accessories-do-I-wear-with-this conundrum and looks undeniably elegant.
Get the Look
Zara Combined Necklace Top with Peplum ($80); Forever 21Embellished Collar Top ($23); Topshop Pearl Collar Shell Top ($70); Tracy Reese Couture Cloth Embellished Neck Dress ($425).
Tip #4: Liven up a neutral palette with a printed coat.
If your closet is full of standard-issue outerwear, we think it's time to invest in more eye-catching pieces a la Dasha Zhukova. Snapped leaving a restaurant in Milan last month, Zhukova finished off a white dress with Prada's Print Jacquard Coat ($2480). As warm as it is stylish, a vivid coat is the perfect cover-up if you want to look polished on cold-weather days.
Get the Look
Free People Changing Patterns Wool Swing Coat ($298); Topshop Unique Quilted Cross Boyfriend Coat($500); J.Crew Gondola Striped Stretch Wool Coat ($495); Kenzo Oversized Wool Blend Coat ($1,005).
Tip #5: Experiment with printed leggings for a high-impact evening look.
Perhaps you've jumped on the printed jeans bandwagon, but what about printed leggings? If model Elena Perminova's chic outfit is any indication, we think they're certainly worth a try. Snapped at the Stella McCartney S/S 13 show in Paris earlier this month, Perminova enhanced a khaki cape trench with a photo print H&M dress and matching tights, which lent a fashion-forward flair to her outfit.

Tip #6: Polish worn-in jeans with a menswear-inspired coat.
If you usually only bring out your worn-in jeans for concerts or weekend errands, we think you'll appreciate this tip inspired by a stylish civilian on Stockholm Street Style. The tastemaker upgraded her casual denim with a long blazer coat, button-up blouse, and heeled booties, and the sophisticated additions made for a refined-yet-relaxed outfit.

Tip #7: Make a statement in matching, head-to-toe prints.
If you consider yourself a fashion risk-taker, you might want to give the matching prints trend a try this season. For some guidance, take a look at the ensemble Bianca Brandolini D'Adda assembled for the Giambattista Valli S/S 13 show in Paris earlier this month. The model selected head-to-toe prints, from said fashion house's F/W 12 collection (see the Checked Wool-Blend Tweed Coat ($5346) for a similar style) along with Muzungu Sisters' Dana Tassel Loafers ($257) and a Christian Dior bag. So what makes this outfit a success? Clean, simple silhouettes throughout, which help to streamline the entire look.
