Dec 14, 2011Smoking Whitefish
We had heard some rumors of some amazing smoked whitefish coming from just over the hill near Bear Lake, UT. We asked around to find out who it was and found it was a fellow by the name of Scott (we'll leave the last name out since he doesn't know we're posting this). As it turns out, Scott is a friend of Camp Chef legend Guy Perkins. But then again, who isn't a friend

Here at Camp Chef we hear about all kinds of crazy recipes and unique ways of cooking. Often times they get stuck in our head.

Sea-level rise: Where we stand at the start of 2013
Fig. 1. Source: Global Sea Level Rise Scenarios for the United States National Climate Assessment, NOAA (2012)
The range intermediate-low to intermediate-high of 0.5-1.2 meters is almost the same as the range 0.5-1.4 meters of my 2007 Science paper.
This week an expert elicitation by Bamber and Aspinall was published in Nature Climate Change, which confirms that the body of expert opinion expects much higher sea level rise than the 4th IPCC report. The median contribution from ice sheets alone by 2100 was estimated as 29 cm, with a 95th percentile value of 84 cm. The paper compares a range for total sea-level rise for the RCP4.5 scenario of 33-132 cm based on their expert elicitation to our recent semi-empirical range (Schaeffer et al., Nature Climate Change 2012) of 64-121 cm.
Recent progress in understanding sea-level rise
Just before Christmas an overview of process-based sea-level estimates for the 20th Century was published by Gregory et al in Journal of Climate, a paper with many authors that presents a whole suite of estimates for individual sea-level contributions, partly data-based and partly model-based. The paper then looks at the sum of all these components, see Fig. 2.
Fig. 2: Comparison of timeseries of annual-mean global-mean sea-level rise from four analyses of tide-gauge data (lines) with the range of 144 synthetic timeseries (grey shading). Each of the synthetic timeseries is the sum of a different combination of thermal expansion, glacier, Greenland ice-sheet, groundwater and reservoir timeseries. Source: Gregory et al in Journal of Climate.
This diagram shows the range of sea-level histories that is obtained by combining all the single estimates in various combinations. It shows that the observed sea-level history can be obtained when combining the individual components in all possible combinations (144 in all), but the observations lie at the very edge of the range. The authors write:
We would judge that a given synthetic timeseries gave a satisfactory account of observed global mean sea-level rise if it lay within the uncertainty envelope for 90% of the time. Very few of the synthetic timeseries pass this test.
If we take the mid-point of the grey range, this shows that the central estimate of 20th Century sea-level rise, based on adding up all processes, is ~11 cm. The central estimate of observed rise is ~16 cm and ~40% larger.
The authors conclude that a residual trend is needed to make up for the discrepancy and argue that this must come from a long-term ice loss in Antarctica. They write:
If we interpret the residual trend as a long-term Antarctic contribution, an ongoing response to climate change over previous millennia, we may conclude that the budget can be satisfactorily closed.
I guess it depends on how easily one is satisfied. The estimated required residual trend is given as 0 – 0.2 mm/year, so it explains at most 2 cm of rise over the 20th Century and does not make up for the shortfall mentioned; as I understand it, it just increases the synthetic range enough to bring most observations into its 90% confidence interval, though still near its edge.

COLUMBUS, Georgia (WLTZ) -- Thirteen year-old Devin Brown loved mixed martial arts fighting and had dreams of going to culinary school.
But Devin's dreams were shattered after his father says he became the victim of cruel bullying.
The eighth grader moved to Columbus to live with his dad, Ray Brown, six months ago and started school at Rothschild Middle School.
"But he never wanted to talk about that. We talked to the school, they said we haven't heard anything about it and just let it go," said Brown.
But an incident at school last week was the final straw for Devin.
Devin told teachers about a classmate with a knife, threatening to kill a teacher.
"He said everyone is calling me a snitch, and he said there's about 15-20 people who want to jump on me," Brown said.
That night, Devin hung himself in his closet with a belt.
Brown's mission now is to make the bullying stop.
Brown says his son is not the only child being bullied at school, and teachers and students confirm fighting is a problem.
The Brown family now hopes to start up a foundation to fight back against bullying.

Turning 50 is no longer what it used to be. In fact, many believe "50 is the new 30" and there's a lot to celebrate with the milestone. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 41.7 million women aged 50 or older living in the United States, and quite a few are blowing out the candles with style, sass and some words of wisdom.
"Whether you're turning 50 or 90, consider it the best time of your life," says Lynn Doyle, political director and "It's Your Call" host/executive producer, who recently marked her 50th birthday. "Think about how much you've learned, those things that you didn't know then but do now. Always keep in mind there are so many other things you still have to learn."
Doyle, a multi award-winning broadcast journalist, is just one of many women embracing their age. In order to share the inspiring stories of women like her, Doyle launched a special programming series, "50 and Fabulous," airing on "It's Your Call" on CN8. The year-long initiative explores the accomplishments, dreams, challenges and exceptional lives of women 50 and older, such as cosmetics entrepreneur Bobbi Brown and popular musicians Naomi Judd and Carlene Carter.
Like many of the women featured on "50 and Fabulous," Doyle has a busy schedule that includes producing and hosting "It's Your Call," participating in numerous charitable activities, mothering two daughters and fulfilling her newest role: grandmother to twin boys. Despite all her commitments, Doyle is always sure to make time for herself and offers the following advice on being magnificent at any age.
First she says to go easy on yourself:
"We are a generation of over-achievers, type-A personalities and Baby Boomers gone overboard. At 50 and beyond, it's time to give yourself a break and enjoy your accomplishments, whether it be the family you've raised, the career you've built, or the legacy you'll leave," offers Doyle. That doesn't mean you should be complacent or ambivalent about new things. It just means it's time to acknowledge your strong points and accept your weaknesses. "We've finally reached a point in our lives when we can say, 'This is who I am, and I like it!'"
She also says to throw a party. There is no reason to dread birthdays, no matter how many candles are adorning the cake. "My dad says take every birthday they give you because it beats the alternative," shares Doyle. "That's why in our family we celebrate birthdays, big or small, with a party. My dad is about to mark his 80th with a cruise to Alaska."
She also points out that style still matters at 50. Comfort and habit can lead mature women straight to the rack of shapeless elastic-waist pants. Resist the urge and try to update your look by incorporating some of the new trends into your wardrobe, provided they are age-appropriate. "For example, leggings may not work for you, but layering or a new belt might. A simple purchase like a fashionable purse or sunglasses can give you the appearance of being 'with it' no matter your age," Doyle suggests. "You're probably no longer feeding and clothing the kids, so don't be afraid to indulge yourself a bit more; definitely dump the polyester!"
Doyle says that physical fitness is important too. It's never too late to start incorporating healthy exercise into your routine. You will see the benefits in your physical and mental well-being.
"Try to do something active everyday," recommends Doyle. "Take a walk, ride a bike, swim, meditate - anything that gets you moving. Remember that while you are moving it's harder for age to catch up with you."For my 50th birthday this year, I will again participate in the Breast Cancer Three Day Walk in Boston to raise funds for breast cancer research."
She says it's also okay to say no. By now you've done the obligatory bake sales, school parties and work functions. You've earned the right to say "no" to things that are not pivotal or a priority in your life. Use that time to focus on the things you really want to do, instead of "have" to do. "But the exception is babysitting the grandchildren, do that as much as you can. I want to babysit my twin grandsons, Drew and Zack, as often as possible!"

Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 4.71 out of 7 votes cast
Warm Coat
I have to agree, that although the description says "camel", it does have a yellow cast to the coat--for me, it is not a true camel shade-this is the only reason, I gave it 3 stars..However, this coat is light in weight, but will keep you warm.
Paris, Ill
Cute Coat
I bought this coat in Camel, the fit is perfect, comfortably over blazers. The color is a very pretty camel, leaning toward creamy yellow. A keeper !
Wendy the walker
Oxford CT
This coat is so comfortable. I can wear a blazer or a bulky sweater and not feel confined. I purchased the Laguna turquoise and get compliments on it all the time. This is my second winter and it still looks like new. It's my "go to" coat for beating the winter blahs! (I'm thinking of purchasing it in another colour.)
Aroostook, NB
So many compliments!
I bought this coat in the burnt orange. I get so many compliments. the pockets are large and roomy - easy to drop a cell phone or gloves into. I don't have to fumble around and find the pocket opening. Sleeves are roomy enough for a hoodie or sweater underneath. The wrists aren't tight, so it's easy to tuck gloves up under my cuffs for a wind-break. The coat doesn't weight alot so I can wear it all day shopping. I love it!
Fayette, MO
Great Coat
I bought this coat in Camel. I get compliments on it all the time. The only thing that I wish that the coat had was a zipper, but other than that, I love it!
Waldorf, MD
This is a very beautiful coat! I bought it in navy. Every coat that I buy from Chadwicks is a winner!
Youngsville, LA
I love this coat, it looks just as good in person as it does in the catalog or on line. I purchased it in the laguna turquoise.

Identify theft continues to pose a mounting law enforcement concern at locations across the nation and the state.
Thousands of Americans fall victim to the crimes and the Utah Attorney General's Office indicates that Carbon County residents are not immune to the escalating problem.
Identity thieves utilize various modes of operations, but tend to rely on several general tactics to unlawfully obtain the personal information of potential victims, points out the attorney general's office.
The common modes of operation the criminals follow to commit identity theft crimes include:
Stealing the identification cards, credit cards and bank cards of consumers.
Stealing an individual's mail, including account statements, pre-approved credit card offers and income or property tax information.
Buying the personal information of potential victims from sources like employees at stores, restaurants or hotels.
Downloading an unsuspecting target's personal information off the Internet.
After obtaining the information, the identity thieves frequently open new credit card accounts using the names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers of the victims.
When the subjects use the credit cards without paying the bills, the delinquent accounts are listed on the victims' credit reports.
Identity thieves also call a victim's credit card issuer and, by pretending to be the individual, change the mailing address on the account.
The subject then runs up charges on the credit card account, continues the attorney general's office.
Since the bills are being sent to the new address, the victim may not immediately realize there is a problem.
In addition, the criminal offenders open bank accounts using an individual's personal information, write bad checks and establish cellular phone service in the victim's name.
Becoming educated about the issue is the best way for Carbon County residents to minimize the danger of falling victim to identity fraud, emphasized the attorney general's office.
Local consumers can alleviate the risks of identity theft by:
Never disclosing Social Security, credit card or bank account numbers before determining exactly how the requester plans on using the information.
Never giving Social Security numbers, a mother's maiden name or account information to strangers who contact consumers at random, especially by phone, Internet or mail.
Always collecting mail as soon as possible after delivery. Consumers should never allow mail to build up while they are out of town, stresses the attorney general's office.
Monitoring the arrival of monthly bills and promptly contacting creditors when statements are late.
Storing all personal information, including account statements, receipts and forms, in a secure location. When the items are no longer needed, consumers should shred or tear before throwing written documents into the trash.
Leaving Social Security cards in a safe place. Residents should not disclose Social Security numbers unless absolutely necessary.
Carrying only the necessary identification and credit cards. Consumers should leave unneeded identification and credit cards in a secure location.
One of the best ways to minimize the risk of identity theft is to request a copy of credit reports annually, points out the attorney general's office. Consumers should check the credit reports for inaccuracies or inconsistencies.
To file an identify theft complaint with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, Carbon County residents may contact the agency's telephone hotline toll-free at 1-877-438-4338. Consumers may submit written complaints to Identity Theft Clearinghouse, Federal Trade Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20580.
Citizens may report suspected fraud incidents to the U.S. Social Security Administration by calling the federal agency toll-free at 1-800-269-0271 or writing to SSA Fraud Hotline, PO Box 17768, Baltimore, MD 21235.
To report suspected mail tampering incidents, residents may contact the U.S. Postal Inspection Service office at 801-974-2271.
Consumers may call the Internal Revenue Service toll-free at 1-800-829-0433 with income tax fraud and identity theft concerns.
In addition, Carbon County residents may contact the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation's Utah field at 801-579-1440 with identity theft complaint.

MARLBORO, MA-Competing against some of the top-ranked players in America and Canada, the Vermont Shamrocks went 1-3 in tournament play at the Beantown Classic this past weekend. The weekend opened up with Vermont squaring off against Team Detroit.
In what was described as a well-played, fast-paced game, the Shamrocks got out to an early lead, and had Detroit on the ropes, but the mid-western girls got things going and prevailed in the end 3-1.
In the second game, it was combination of old foes from California facing VT.
The Junior Ducks and the Junior Sharks combined forces to form a super-team to bring to this tournament, and the Cali girls edged out Vermont 5-4 to keep the green and white winless.
Things did not get any easier in game number three, as the Toronto Hurricanes, which featured some college players, shut-out Vermont 3-0.
In their final game, the Shamrocks broke through, picking up their only win of the tournament, a 3-2 victory over a previously undefeated Washington Machines.
Vermont's college showcase tour coach Buzz Hoer was upbeat after the tournament, saying in an email, "Great competitive weekend. We did well despite a tough draw as you can see from the results, especially that great game Friday night vs Anaheim when the rink was packed with coaches, some of whom were overheard to say they thought our team played surprisingly well. And to hang on and win vs Washington helped everyone have a good drive home. All's well that ends well!"
The Shamrocks will get going again this fall/late summer as they get ready to prepare for the 2013-2014 season.

Set I the lights went down and the strains of My Friend floated up to us and we were off. Solid and well played and then right into Rift. A raucous version again straight ahead and it kept everyone moving. Up next was Free. I dig this tune dark subject matter around 4:45 or so it starts to go out there a bit. No crazy Type II but a nice jammed out version. A quick break in the action and then that circus intro could only mean one thing Esther was up! A flawless version in my humble opinion Esther never goes way out there in the jam department, but its still one of those songs that makes up the nucleus of Phish Out of Esther and into Llama. Llama was well played and fun for all. This is when I notice my friends they looked scared as shit and were standing stock still Something was up with their trip and I was damn glad that I was not on it. Besides Gumbo was up and it was (and still is) one of my favs. Again a solid version nothing crazy out there. Out of the Gumbo and into Disease this rocked out pretty good not Fall 97 good, it stayed within the confines of Type I, but full of heady jamming. There was a good Page part at 8:22. The end did seem a bit rushed though Out of Disease and into Caspian, which worked other than Esther, it was the only slow down for the first set. A rocking Frankenstein the place went nuts (except my friends) and that ended set one.
Set break my friends seemed to relax a bit, but they were still on a different wave length than most of the other folks in the building Not exactly 15 minutes, but before long the boys took the stage and so started the second set.
Set II its not on the recording that I pulled off of the spreadsheet, but Im fairly certain there was an audience chess move in there. A Floyd tease and then into Bag good stuff here and it got the second set off to a great start. Everyone was getting down then Sparkle kept us all moving. Sparkle into Slave a very solid version indeed well worth the price of admission alone and another song that only Phish could do. Next was Bouncing a nice quick, tight version. Split Open was very good weirdness ensues at around the 10:12 mark and then is reeled back in pretty quick Fluff was in the next slot Fluff came to New York the only Fluff Ive ever seen again, another well executed song in Set II. Swept Away and its companion Steep brought us down for a few minutes of rest and then some screaming at the end woke us all up and the melodic note of Antelope came gently out of said screaming. At the 5:20 mark they go out there a bit and I thought for sure that would be the end of the set, but they came back out for some acapella magic HMB and then they made their way off stage .for a few minutes and then for the first encore Fee with megaphone!! Despite a lyric flub it was fun to hear/witness. After Fee into a quick, ripping Rocky Top and it was over A solid show all around not much in the way for you lovers of Type II, but nonetheless a good show.
Back into the cold night we made our back down Main Street. Somehow we ended up at a TGIFs (or some sort of chain place like it) not a good place for the freaked out, but after a few beers everyone seemed to come down a bit and eventually we trekked back out into the cold, found a cab, stuffed all five of us in and then made our way back to the apartment

The HTC Evo Shift 4G is a device that has been highly anticipated by fans of the manufacturer. The device will be released on several different carriers under a variety of names including the HTC Knight and HTC Speedy, and with the release of a number of cell phone accessories shots last week, it appears as though we can start to brace ourselves for the release of the device.
The images that were released last week show a number of different features of the phone. First of all, it will have a four-line QWERTY keypad for speedier texting. The second image that was released also showed the phone in a protective case. The case does appear to add a lot to the size of the phone but the fact that the phone will feature a QWERTY keyboard has already ensured that it will be more hefty than the previous EVO 4G.
Following the release of the photos a rumored release date for the phone also made its way online; January 9th. Early estimates for the release of the phone stated that it would be released on January 6th, and the switch to a 9th release would match up with the previous Sunday launches that HTC has unveiled.
The addition of the slide out QWERTY keyboard is something that will make the device much more viable for business, or simply for those of us that prefer the keypad over a touch screen. This version of the phone will have a smaller display, at 3.7 inches, than the HTC Evo 4G that was released by Sprint. The HTC Evo Shift 4G will reportedly come standard with Android 2.2, but could potentially even see 2.3 following the announcement of 2.3 Gingerbread. All of the details regarding the unlocked cell phone should be seen as speculative at this point, but it is clear that we are inching ever-closer to the release of this highly anticipated phone.

David Matsumoto, a psychology professor at San Francisco State University, trains national security officials and police officers to recognize "microexpressions"—fleeting, split-second flashes of emotion across someone's face. Matsumoto says those subtle cues may reveal how an interview subject is feeling and help officials to hone their line of questioning.

People have forgotten how to tell a story. Stories don't have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning.
I'm as guilty as anyone, because I helped to herald the digital era with "Jurassic Park." But the danger is that it can be abused to the point where nothing is eye-popping any more. The difference between making "Jaws" thirty-one years ago and "War of the Worlds" is that today, anything I can imagine, I can realize on film. Then, when my mechanical shark was being repaired and I had to shoot something, I had to make the water scary. I relied on the audience's imagination, aided by where I put the camera. Today, it would be a digital shark. It would cost a hell of a lot more, but never break down. As a result, I probably would have used it four times as much, which would have made the film four times less scary. "Jaws" is scary because of what you don't see, not because of what you do. We need to bring the audience back into partnership with storytelling.
I've discovered I've got this preoccupation with ordinary people pursued by large forces.
Stanley Kubrick
If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed.
I've always been interested in ESP and the paranormal. In addition to the scientific experiments which have been conducted suggesting that we are just short of conclusive proof of its existence, I'm sure we've all had the experience of opening a book at the exact page we're looking for, or thinking of a friend a moment before they ring on the telephone. But "The Shining" didn't originate from any particular desire to do a film about this. I thought it was one of the most ingenious and exciting stories of the genre I had read. It seemed to strike an extraordinary balance between the psychological and the supernatural in such a way as to lead you to think that the supernatural would eventually be explained by the psychological: "Jack must be imagining these things because he's crazy." This allowed you to suspend your doubt of the supernatural until you were so thoroughly into the story that you could accept it almost without noticing. The novel is by no means a serious literary work, but the plot is for the most part extremely well worked out, and for a film that is often all that really matters.
I do not always know what I want, but I do know what I don't want.
Werner Herzog
What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.
It is not only my dreams, my belief is that all these dreams are yours as well. The only distinction between me and you is that I can articulate them. And that is what poetry or painting or literature or filmmaking is all about… and it is my duty because this might be the inner chronicle of what we are. We have to articulate ourselves, otherwise we would be cows in the field.
Your film is like your children. You might want a child with certain qualities, but you are never going to get the exact specification right. The film has a privilege to live its own life and develop its own character. To suppress this is dangerous. It is an approach that works the other way too: sometimes the footage has amazing qualities that you did not expect.
Alfred Hitchcock
Four people are sitting around a table talking about baseball or whatever you like. Five minutes of it. Very dull. Suddenly, a bomb goes off. Blows the people to smithereens. What does the audience have? Ten seconds of shock. Now, take the same scene and tell the audience there is a bomb under that table and will go off in five minutes. The whole emotion of the audience is totally different because you've given them that information. In five minutes time that bomb will go off. Now the conversation about baseball becomes very vital. Because they're saying to you, "Don't be ridiculous. Stop talking about baseball. There's a bomb under there." You've got the audience working.
There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.
Ken Loach
Why do they say I hate my country? And what does that even mean? Am I supposed to hate my town, am I supposed to hate all English people, or my government? And if I do hate my government, does that mean I hate my country? It's a democratic duty to criticize the government.
A movie isn't a political movement, a party, or even an article. It's just a film. At best it can add its voice to public outrage.
Pedro Almodóvar
Yes, women are stronger than us. They face more directly the problems that confront them, and for that reason they are much more spectacular to talk about. I don't know why I am more interested in women, because I don't go to any psychiatrists, and I don't want to know why.
I think decor says a lot about someone's social position, their taste, their sensibility, their work, and also about the aesthetic way I have chosen to tell their story.
My school and the cinema were only a few buildings apart on the same street. The bad education I received at school was rectified when I went to the cinema. My religion became the cinema. Of course one could create one's own belief system, and anything that helps or supports you in life can be seen as covering the function of religion. In that sense you could consider cinema my religion, because it is one of my major stimuli that I have for living. Cinema has that aspect of devotion to saints and idolatry as well. In that sense it is entirely religious.
Terrence Malick
Experience it like a walk in the countryside. You'll probably be bored or have other things in mind, but perhaps you will be struck, suddenly, by a feeling, by an act, by a unique portrait of nature.
Louis Malle
You must find the note, the correct key, for your story. If you find it, everything will work. If you do not, everything will stick out like elbows.
I think predictability has become the rule and I'm completely the opposite--I like spectators to be disturbed.
Martin Scorsese
When I did "The Age of Innocence," the critics said, "Is it wrong to expect a little more heat from Scorsese?" I thought "The Age of Innocence" was pretty hot. So I said, "Alright, I'll do 'Casino,'" and they said, "Well, gee, it's the same as 'Goodfellas.'" You can't win. Yes, "Casino" has the style of "GoodFellas," but it has more to do with America--and even Hollywood: the idea of never being satisfied.
"L'avventura" gave me one of the most profound shocks I've ever had at the movies, greater even than "Breathless" or "Hiroshima, mon amour." Or "La dolce vita". At the time there were two camps, the people who liked the Fellini film and the ones who liked "L'avventura." I knew I was firmly on Antonioni's side of the line, but if you'd asked me at the time, I'm not sure I would have been able to explain why. I loved Fellini's pictures and I admired "La dolce vita," but I was challenged by "L'avventura." Fellini's film moved me and entertained me, but Antonioni's film changed my perception of cinema, and the world around me, and made both seem limitless. I was mesmerized by "L'avventura" and by Antonioni's subsequent films, and it was the fact that they were unresolved in any conventional sense that kept drawing me back. They posed mysteries--or, rather, the mystery of who we are, what we are, to each other, to ourselves, to time. You could say that Antonioni was looking directly at the mysteries of the soul.
The cinema began with a passionate, physical relationship between celluloid and the artists and craftsmen and technicians who handled it, manipulated it, and came to know it the way a lover comes to know every inch of the body of the beloved. No matter where the cinema goes, we cannot afford to lose sight of its beginnings.
Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne
In "L'enfant," we have a main character, Bruno, a man who cannot be a father, who is never able to be a father, and it feels like at the end of the movie he at last became a father. Well, I'm not sure things will be OK afterwards. But it seems like when they're in the prison, where people can speak with their families, I think he says, "How's Jimmy, how is he doing?" Well, he never said the name of the kid before. It means that he has changed. Because of the kid that he has saved from the water, Steve, he became someone else. It takes time. So we felt that it was the right moment to end the movie. Our movies are like portraits.
We haven't found any place or room for music in our movies. Maybe because we are not able to find the right music, I don't know. And when we're shooting, I think that's where things happen actually. When we're building our plans, et cetera, the rhythm of that construction is partly based on the sounds, not only the dialogues, but touching the objects. And rhythm is based on the sounds that we can hear on the set, the noise of the bodies moving, the breathing of the characters, that's our music. We just don't see the need for music. When we're shooting we just don't think about it.
I think one of the big wishes of the human kind is to transform things, to work on things to construct, to destroy, to sometimes construct again. And not only to look at the world, let's say, passively. I think that's the aim of humankind, being a man, a woman, is to change things. And cinema is about showing things that are changing.
宮崎 駿 | Hayao Miyazaki
I would like to make a film to tell children, "It's good to be alive."
I've become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue. Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mutually inspire each other to live--if I'm able to, then perhaps I'll be closer to portraying a true expression of love.
Personally, I was never more passionate about manga than when preparing for my college entrance exams. It's a period of life when young people appear to have a great deal of freedom, but are in many ways actually oppressed. Just when they find themselves powerfully attracted to members of opposite sex, they have to really crack the books. To escape from this depressing situation, they often find themselves wishing they could live in a world of their own--a world they can say is truly theirs, a world unknown even to their parents. To young people, anime is something they incorporate into this private world. I often refer to this feeling as one yearning for a lost world. It's a sense that although you may currently be living in a world of constraints, if you were free from those constraints, you would be able to do all sorts of things. And it's that feeling, I believe, that makes mid-teens so passionate about anime.
Wes Craven
You don't enter the theater and pay your money to be afraid. You enter the theater and pay your money to have the fears that are already in you... dealt with and put into a narrative.
What you want to do is you want to put your audience off-balance. You have to be aware of what the audience's expectations are, and then you have to pervert them, basically, and hit them upside the head from a direction they weren't looking.
I think the experience of going to a theater and seeing a movie with a lot of people is still part of the transformational power of film, and it's equivalent to the old shaman telling a story by the campfire to a bunch of people. That is a remarkable thing... If you scream and everyone else in the audience screams, you realize that your fears are not just within yourself, they're in other people as well, and that's strangely releasing.
Quentin Tarantino
If you're a film fan, collecting video is sort of like marijuana. Laser discs, they're definitely cocaine. Film prints are heroin, all right? You're shooting smack when you start collecting film prints. So, I kinda got into it in a big way, and I've got a pretty nice collection I'm real proud of.
The exploitation films were made in such an artless way with these big wide shots of Sunset Boulevard or of Arcadia or downtown L.A. or wherever. In mainstream films, especially in the 1980s, the Los Angeles you saw wasn't the real one; it was a character with this backlot sort of atmosphere. They tried to luxuriate it. In exploitation films, you see what the place really looked like, you see the bars and mom-and-pop restaurants.
I've had people write that I've seen too many movies. In what other art form would being an expert be considered a negative? If I were a poet, would I be criticized for knowing too much about Sappho? Or Aristotle?

Jesse H. Rhodes' new book, An Education in Politics: The Origin and Evolution of No Child Left Behind, provides us with much detailed information on how our great business leaders got involved in the education reform movement but failed in the end to improve our public schools. Unfortunately, Mr. Rhodes, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts (Amherst), wears the usual liberal blinders, and thus gives us a skewed history which, nevertheless, is useful to anyone interested in why even high-powered business CEOs haven't been unable to improve our public schools.
For years, business leaders had been complaining about potential employees unable to write or think mathematically. They lacked the skills needed by our high-tech economy, and something had to be done about it. Finally, the Business Roundtable, the National Alliance of Business, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce decided to act. They said:
We need a clear national strategy for addressing education reform ... to ensure that every student leaves compulsory school with a demonstrated ability to read, write, compute, and perform at world-class levels in general school subjects as well as to learn, think, work effectively alone and in groups and solve problems.
In April 1983, the National Commission on Excellence in Education had produced its famous Nation at Risk report, which said that low student achievement was pervasive and threatening the nation's economic and social well-being.
It was President Reagan's secretary of education, T. H. Bell, who created the Commission in August 1981, directing it to examine the quality of education in the United States and to make a report within 18 months of its first meeting. The final report contained some practical recommendations for educational improvement, but it also contained some very harsh criticism of American educators. It said:

There's a new program that has schools throughout Utah buzzing with excitement.
Known as the Gold Medal School Initiative, the program is encouraging schools to establish policy and environmental supports that give students and staff more opportunities for physical activity and nutritious food choices.
The program encourages the mentality that healthy kids make healthy learners. This year, two Carbon county schools are part of the new program. Both Castle Valley Center and Creekview Elementary have begun the program and each school has kids running more and eating better.
Southeastern Utah Health District public health nurse Jessie Huff said that the Surgeon General's call to action regarding the promotion of healthier youth indicates that intervention should go beyond health and physical education.
"Schools are identified as a key setting for health strategies to prevent and decrease the prevalence of overweight and obesity," read Huff. "Public health approaches in schools should extend beyond health and physical education to include school policy, the school physical and social environment and links between schools and families and communities."
In addition to promoting physical activity and healthy nutrition, the incentive program calls for a tobacco free lifestyle.
The funding partners include the Utah Department of Health, comprised of the following divisions: Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, Tobacco Prevention and Control, Maternal and Child Health and the State Office of Education.
In-kind funding is provided through the Asthma prevention and control, diabetes prevention and control, immunizations, local health departments, the American Heart Association, IHC Healthy Communities, Utah School food Service Association, Healthy Utah, Violence and Injury, Action for Healthy Kids, Local school districts and the PTA organizations.
The program began in the fall of 2001 in conjunction with the Winter Olympics. It continues today as a part of "A Healthy You Legacy," which includes schools, work sites, communities and campuses to bring resources and support to schools.
Recruiting takes place in the fall and spring. Principals are sent packets of information in the spring. Presentations are done through the school district offices to encourage principals to sign their schools up with the program. Each participating school is given a mentor and training material.
School coordinators at Castle Valley Center include Jill Haley and Geri Chavez, while Sara Haycock is the mentor, working with Principal Mike Keller.
Jeannie Franklin serves as the coordinator at Creekview Elementary, assisting Sara Haycock, mentor and Joan Atwood, principal.
The program includes 90 minutes of structured physical activity every week, establishing a Gold Medal Mile walking program and setting a goal for student participation. Each school creates a wellness program and the school also makes a policy that food is not to be used as a reward or punishment for students.

So back in 2008, with the rise of these trading card-based arcade games, Square Enix set about making their own. The result was Lord of Vermilion. Four years and two major updates later, it is still going strong.
While other trading card games focus on a single existing property (e.g., Gundam or World Cup Soccer), Lord of Vermilion features characters from Final Fantasy, Romancing Saga, Magic: The Gathering, King of Fighters, Nier, Black Rock Shooter, BlazBlue, and several other series—in addition to its many original characters.
I had long wanted to try out this game. However, as with any collectible trading card game, getting into Lord of Vermilion can be quite expensive—not to mention confusing. Luckily, I had a friend with a box of extra cards willing to teach me to play.
You start by choosing your party. Each character card has a point cost and your entire party can be no more than 90 points. In addition, only four cards can be in play at any time.
When the game begins, it plays more like an RTS than anything else. You place the four cards you want to use on the field—my party included Final Fantasy VI's Kefka and Magic: The
From that point on, the game is basically a "capture the point" type game. You try to destroy your opponent's three arcana stones while he or she tries to do the same to yours. Then, every three stages, you face a boss fight instead.
Of course, there's more to the game than that—with reinforcements, special skills, equipment, smash attacks, special summons, and a host of tactics and strategies—but the core of the game is that simple.
Lord of Vermilion sports online versus play as well as a robust single player campaign—and win or lose—the game dispenses a new card for your deck each time you play.
I really enjoyed my time with Lord of Vermilion and had to fight the urge to go to a card shop and buy myself all the cards for a Final Fantasy deck. It's a complex game that felt more like a game of League of Legends where I controlled four characters rather than one. Getting a starter deck only takes about 500 yen (about six dollars), and even with beginner cards, the easy difficulty levels are beatable. So if you have the money, access to a machine, and at least a little Japanese language ability, I recommend giving Lord of Vermilion a try.
To see my deck in action, check out the video above.
Lord of Vermilion was released in Japanese arcades on November 7, 2008. The latest update, Lord of Vermilion Re:2 was released on July 26, 2011.

The European Union has threatened Sweden with legal action unless it rescinds its first issuance of wolf-hunting licenses in 45 years. Swedish Minister for the Environment Andreas Carlgren announced that his country has no wish to engage in long legal proceedings in Brussels, the de facto capital of the European Union, which would be the next step if the EU member-state failed to comply.
EU Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik asserted that the Swedish wolf-hunting licenses violated EU directives, although Carlgren observed that the interpretation of what is allowed is "rigid."
It can hardly be asserted that the New Age socialist politics of Sweden are insensitive to animal welfare. The fact that there have not been licenses to hunt wolves — costly pests in largely rural Sweden — since 1966 suggests that the policy decision to issue the permits was not made lightly.

A controversial end-of-life care pathway already known to be killing thousands of elderly patients in U.K. hospitals is now being used to euthanize children and infants.
News reports have previously disclosed that hospitals in the United Kingdom are euthanizing thousands of elderly patients who may not be near death — and raking in big bucks from the government for doing so. Now it emerges that the aged are not alone in being killed by starvation and dehydration. Infants, too, are falling victim to "nationalized health care … mixed with the belief that quality of life is more important than life itself," in the words of the New Hampshire Union Leader.
According to London's Daily Mail, "the practice of withdrawing food and fluid by tube" — known as the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) — "is being used on young patients as well as severely disabled newborn babies." The LCP for children, it says, "involves the discharge to home or to a hospice of children who are given a document detailing their 'end of life' care." The paper claims to have "seen" a copy of the children's LCP guidelines, which include "tick boxes, filled out by hospital doctors, on medicines, nutrients and fluids to be stopped."
Alder Hey Children's Hospital (pictured), which developed the LCP for children, "confirmed that children and babies are discharged for LCP end of life care 'after all possible reversible causes for the patient's condition are considered,'" the Mail writes.
How did the LCP, originally developed by a hospice for use in very limited circumstances, come to be applied to old people who were not terminally ill and babies with birth defects? In a piece for National Review Online, Wesley J. Smith explained:

So day one of the WWDC has now ended and as expected there is a new iPhone coming to the world. Apple has announced the Apple iPhone 3Gs. The overall look remains the same but there are some big changes. First the iPhone 3Gs will come in two flavors. It will come in a 16GB version and a 32GB version.
The Apple iPhone 3Gs will also be getting two camera upgrades. The first will be to a 3MP camera. The second is the iPhone 3Gs will now have video capabilities. It also now has a built in compass, "fingerprint resistant" screen and a longer battery life with up to 9hrs of talk time.
AT&T has released a press release annoucing that it would be available on June 19th. So now it's just a matter of time. As of the press release there has been no new announcements of reduced pricing plans but for now having a less expensive iPhone available to the market will open up more people finally being able to make that long awaited switch

While the fates of politicians were decided on Election Day, the fates of five playoff-hopeful Blackstone Valley clubs could be determined as early as this weekend or as late as Thanksgiving morning.
When October ended, so did much of the drama in the Division II-B playoff race. Last weekend's play saw the top three seeds etched in stone in Tolman (6-0), Woonsocket (5-1), and St. Raphael (4-2) and the final spot still up for grabs between Mount Hope and Toll Gate.
While the fates of politicians were decided on Election Day, the fates of five playoff-hopeful Blackstone Valley clubs could be determined as early as this weekend or as late as Thanksgiving morning.
When October ended, so did much of the drama in the Division II-B playoff race. Last weekend's play saw the top three seeds etched in stone in Tolman (6-0), Woonsocket (5-1), and St. Raphael (4-2) and the final spot still up for grabs between Mount Hope and Toll Gate.
But now it's November and who will join those three teams in the playoffs? For Burrillville and North Smithfield, it looks fairly easy -- all they need is one win in their remaining division games and they're in.
Lincoln also needs one more win, but it has to come tomorrow in its league finale against mighty Middletown or the Lions are as good as out.
For East Providence, it's going to take at least two wins and maybe a bit of help along the way, and for Shea, the Raiders also have to win their division finale tomorrow against Johnston and then keep an eye on three other league games and hope those results favor their slim hopes.
Six games are on tomorrow night's schedule, with the top attractions being the Townies' clash against Division I power Barrington at Victory Field, the Raiders' Division II-A contest with the Panthers at Max Read Field, and the Lions dueling the Islanders in Division III action at Ferguson Field.
Those games will get under way at 7 p.m., as will the Division II-B contest between Tolman and Toll Gate at Pariseau Field and the Division II-A affair between Coventry and Cumberland at Tucker Field.
Winless Smithfield will also take on the Providence Country Day co-op unit in a Division IV game at Providence's Conley Stadium that begins at 6 p.m.
Saturday's action features a 2 p.m. Division III clash pitting Burrillville and Tiverton at the Broncos' Alumni Field and North Smithfield's 4 p.m. contest in Providence against Division IV foe Mount Pleasant.
Saturday's other games are Division II-B contests that will see Woonsocket host West Warwick at 1:30 p.m. at Barry Field and Ponaganset visit SRA at 4 p.m. at Pariseau Field.
Central Falls has a bye week.
Here's a look at the weekend's five games with playoff implications:
Division I
East Providence (3-2) at Barrington (5-1)
Undefeated Bishop Hendricken leads the Division I race with a 6-0 record that's a game better than the Eagles, and right behind those teams are three that are fighting for the next two playoff spots in La Salle (4-2), Portsmouth (4-2) and the Townies.
The Townies have their battle against the Eagles, next week's game against winless South Kingstown (0-5), and their Thanksgiving Day clash with La Salle remaining, and while they are expected to defeat the Rebels, they must take care of business against their other tougher foes.
The Eagles promise to be a very tough challenge for the Townies. They are averaging a division-best 26.5 points per contest and have one of the state's best quarterbacks in Jackson Ryan.
But even if the Townies stun the Eagles tomorrow, their Thanksgiving clash with the Rams is probably going to end up being a winner-take-all battle for a playoff berth. The Rams have this weekend off, but an easy test next week against Cranston East (1-4) that should land them their fifth victory.
Portsmouth, which beat E.P. earlier in the year, has winnable games against North Kingstown (0-6) and Cranston West (2-3) and owns the head-to-head tiebreaker with E.P. should they both finish tied in the standings.
Division II-A
Johnston (4-2) at Shea (3-3)
Of the five teams still searching for postseason berths, the Raiders face the toughest road. Not only do they have to beat the Panthers, but they need to keep an eye on the other division games (Coventry at Cumberland, Central at Chariho, and Warwick Vets at Westerly) and hope for the best.
At 5-1, Chariho has already sewed up a playoff berth. Central and Johnston are both 4-2, and Shea, Coventry, and Westerly are each 3-3.
It looks like head-to-head tiebreakers will determine anywhere from one to three berths and that's where the Raiders are in trouble. Of the five teams in the hunt for the last three spots, Shea's the only one with three head-to-head losses (to Coventry, Central, and Westerly).
Westerly is also the only team with three head-to-head victories (over Shea, Central, and Johnston), and they have a very easy game against the winless Hurricanes, who are 0-8 overall and have been outscored by a better than 4-to-1 margin (274-65).
That means Shea's best bet to overcome the tiebreakers is a Central victory over Chariho that would ice the top two seeds in the Knights and Chargers and a Cumberland win over Coventry that would bump the Oakers from the playoffs.
Westerly would own the tiebreakers over Johnston and Shea, and a Shea win over Johnston would give them the nod over the Panthers.
Speaking of the Panthers, Shea is going to need its 'A' game in order to beat Johnston, especially defensively. The Panthers boast a 1,000-yard passer in quarterback David Bubar and two players in their backfield who can run the ball as well as catch it in Bret Simas and Greg Doutre.
Division III
Middletown (4-2) at Lincoln (4-3)
Expect Ferguson Field to be a packed house for this duel with the Islanders, who boast one of the division's best tailbacks in Rico McCray (905 rushing yards, 16 touchdowns) and a defense that has yielded an average of less than 10 points per game.
The Islanders, who were promoted to Division III after appearing in the last two Division IV Super Bowls, dropped an ugly 34-6 loss two weeks ago to Moses Brown, which a week earlier, had lost to the Lions by a 20-14 score. The week before that loss, Middletown fell to unbeaten Rogers, 7-0.
The Lions will need to do two things if they plan to hold off their visitors -- limit their penalties and keep McCray, who is also a linebacker, on defense by controlling the clock.
If the Lions lose this duel, the only other way they can eke into the playoffs is if M.B. (4-2) gets upset by winless Classical on Saturday and loses to East Greenwich (2-3) the next week. The Quakers are the only team ahead of the Lions in the standings that do not own a head-to-head tiebreaker over them.
Division III
Tiverton (1-5) at Burrillville (4-2)
Unless a royal disaster happens, the Broncos should put away the Tigers and clinch their first playoff berth since 2006.
The Tigers are fielding one of the youngest teams in the league and that has been evident in their play. Tiverton has lost their last four games (and were outscored 74-8 in their last two defeats to East Greenwich and Middletown) and allowed an average of close to 25 points per game.
After this game, the Broncos will bus to Aquidneck Island next Friday night for what could be a playoff preview against Middletown. Rogers (6-0) has already clinched the No. 1 seed, meaning that the Broncos, Islanders, Moses Brown will be vying for the No. 2 berth and a home playoff game.
Burrillville dropped a two-point verdict to Moses Brown earlier in the year, and the Quakers also own a win over the Islanders.
Division IV
North Smithfield (4-1) at Mount Pleasant (6-0)
If the Northmen hope to clinch their first postseason berth in the program's 43-years history this weekend, they are going to have to pass a difficult test in the Kilties, who are enjoying their finest season since their 1984 Class C championship season.
The Kilties, who are tied for first place with mighty Exeter/West Greenwich and will play the two-time champions a week from Saturday on the Knights' campus, are averaging a whopping 36 points and close to 300 yards rushing per game.
The Kilties are also excellent defensively and surrendering an average of 9.6 points per game, but right behind them are the Northmen, who are allowing 10.4 per contest.
If the Northmen lose this game, they will still have two more opportunities to pick up their fifth triumph and land a spot in the playoffs. They will visit Central Falls (2-5) next Friday at Macomber Stadium and host Scituate (1-4) on Thanksgiving Eve.
Prior to this season, the Northmen's best season in their history was their 8-2 campaign in 1981, but back then, only four teams in the entire state made it to the postseason and the four that qualified that year were undefeated.

Drive Highway 10 anytime and you will see them. The coal haul trucks that is.
And south of the Hunter Power Plant, just outside of Castle Dale, at times these trucks could appear as a train as much as a string of individual vehicles.
They come north with full loads and flow south with empty beds ready to be filled again. These trucks are the SUFCO trucks.
They are particularly noticable at night or in the early morning hours. Coming off the hill just south of Emery, and descending to near the Sevier County line their lights stretch, at times, almost without end toward I-70.
They often run 24 hours a day along this long, almost straight piece of blacktop, carrying coal to a plant that pulverizes it and blows it into boilers that create 450 megawatts of power that flow through lines that feed to the Wasatch Front.
It is just one little part of the effort that goes into providing power for people who often have little idea of what it takes to get electricity to their homes.

The intellectual property rights (IPR) available in China are very similar to those available in Europe.
Assuming SMEs have registered their IP and found it being infringed then they will want to enforce it. How will they find it being infringed? Their customers might tell them about competing products, they might find infringements for sale on the internet, they might see infringing products at a trade fair. The China IPR SME Helpdesks' latest guide gives SMEs an overview of what steps they should take once they have gathered sufficient information and decided to take action and enforce their IPR rights in China.

Greetings from Fort Lewis, Wash. The troops are doing great, morale is high and we are excited to answer the "call to arms" in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Company A Detachment 1 of the 1457th Engineer (Combat) Battalion felt a true sense of patriotism when we left Price. It was wonderful to see such a tremendous amount of support from the community.
We had a fine dinner before we left and the "guard"ian bears the kids were given were wonderful. I know that my three children treasure those bears.
Typically a person may view a member of the National Guard as only a weekend warrior and not realize that the weekend is spent preparing for a mission such as we are now serving. I am proud to be a member of the Utah National Guard and I am proud of the opportunity to serve my country.
I would ask that the community that gave us such a great send off not forget our families that we left behind. They are making the supreme sacrifice of letting us go. They will need your continued support throughout the coming weeks.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Translating Ideas into Action is the premise behind this year's featured event. We will take problematic architectural concrete designs and demonstrate how these can be done through strategic alliances. Over a 4-day period Tao Group will create examples of selected floor designs from Architectural & Design Groups across the country. In the end, multiple floor designs will combine to create a Tribute to the History of Architecture, Craftsmanship and the World of Concrete.
This is an official world of concrete event, with all demonstrations and presentations facilitated by Tao Group. This premiere event will take place during show hours at World of Concrete 2014 in the Silver Lot. The event is held over a 4-day period at the Las Vegas Convention Center January 21-24; Seminars January 20-24. This is an exclusive area and only qualified attendees will be admitted.
Prior to the show, you will receive a letter of invitation via email inviting you to this area.
Exploring Architectural Praxis is a hands-on education/demonstration area. The Architect, Engineer or Designer who is present at any one of a number of demonstrations will walk away with a better understanding of functionality and aesthetics in concrete. The demonstrations will address limitations in design, common technical issues and help bridge the gap between the Architects, Engineers, Designers and Contractors. Specification examinations will also be provided during the show. There is no formal test, nor any manner of verification of learning associated with this area.

Packing up our instruments and musical gear is always a bittersweet task: it's nice to wrap up an exhausting performance, but at the same time, the adrenalin rush that comes from being onstage is one of the things we live for. Still, curtain call always comes eventually, and that's when it pays to have the right gig bags and cases to make sure everything gets to the next show in good shape. Road Runner accessories are focused on that simple reality, with a huge selection of cases to choose from.
With that said, a lot of the gear you'll find here is even designed to pull double-duty, serving as cases between shows and as racks or stands while the lights are up. A few examples of that would be the Road Runner 7 Guitar Stand Flightcase, the 10U Slant Mixer Rack, 2U Vertical Rack and the Road Runner Deluxe Turntable Case. When you're looking for accessories that are just as useful on the stage as they are on the road, options like these will definitely have you covered.
As far as instrument cases are concerned, you have one important question to ask: "hard or soft?" That is, of course, referring to whether you want a rigid shell like the Road Runner RRMESG ABS Molded Double Cutaway Guitar Case, or a soft one such as the Road Runner Roadster Classical Guitar Gig Bag. Fortunately, it's a simple choice to make: for situations that need lots of protection (for instance, air travel or long tours), go for the rigid case. But if you're just driving around town for local gigs, you'll be all right with a gig bag, which is easier to handle thanks to its lower weight and less bulky size.
Whatever sort of artist you are, from a guitarist or bassist to a DJ or sound tech, there are Road Runner accessories for you in this section. It's all just a matter of finding the ones that are right for your instruments or equipment, and you'll be well on your way to travelling in style the next time you take your show on the road.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

During last weekend's Disrupt SF Hackathon events, 147 teams had 24 hours to design, build, test and present their products to judges. Only three teams had the chance to demo their projects in front of the crowd. The first place team was awarded a $5,000 grand prize.
Techcrunch, the sponsor of the event, invited hardware hackers to "Build toys, robots, Arduino cases, or whatever you want and enter the Disrupt Hackathon as an inaugural hardware hacker. We dare you." 400 hackers took TechCrunch up on their challenge.
While the Sirious Margarita Maker "a highly complex system that allows you to tell Siri to make you a margarita, and the Memstash app "that helps you memorize anything" gave the winners a run for their money, three other teams beat them and everyone else out of the top prize.
First Prize: Livebolt
Livebolt is a cloud-based identity management system. It consists of a metal block that slides on the back of a physical lock. The block responds to an order from an iPhone app. Once a user passes authentication, the iPhone app can authorize the metal block to lock or unlock the user's door.
Runner-up #1: Autopus
Autopus is an app that lets sellers on sites like Craigslist to conduct auctions on their own listings. As bids are placed on their stuff, sellers gets notified and can monitor activity in almost real-time.
Runner-up #2: HeatData
HeatData provides a way to track the gestures of mobile website users. Knowing how users interact with pages helps vendors determine how to improve the design and UI for their mobile app.
Many of the other teams didn't go home empty handed. Sponsors like AT&T, Evernote, dotCloud, Ford, Locu, Microsoft Bizspark, Dropbox, New Relic, Pearson, Qualcomm Innovation Center, Qualcomm Labs, SAP HANA, SkyDrive, TokBox, Twilio, and Zypr all awarded prizes to the teams that made the best use of their services.
TechCrunch Disrupt is one of the most anticipated technology conferences of the year, and it's underway this week through Wednesday.
Hold onto your smartphones, tablets and any other device with a broadband connection. There's a lot of innovation going on out there.
