Wilfrid Laurier University (commonly referred to as Laurier or WLU), is a Canadian public research university located in the heart of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Laurier has several other campuses, such as in Toronto, Ontario (Canada's largest city), Brantford, Ontario, Kitchener, Ontario and in Chongqing, China.[3] It is named in honour of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the seventh Prime Minister of Canada. Laurier offers a full range of undergraduate and graduate programs in a variety of fields. Laurier is one of the fastest-growing universities in Canada (enrollment more than doubled from 1997 to 2006). The main campus in Waterloo sits in the heart of the "Silicon Valley North" of Canada, as the "KW" area and Ontario more broadly speaking has the largest concentration of tech companies in North America apart from California.[4] [5]

The history of Wilfrid Laurier University dates from 1911, when the Waterloo Lutheran Seminary of Canada[6] opened its doors to students. Waterloo was selected as the location because of the land granted by the citizens and the town administration on the edge of the town, and the fact that Waterloo and Berlin, Ontario (now known as Kitchener) had very large Lutheran populations.
In 1914 the Seminary developed non-theological courses under the name of the Waterloo College School. In 1924, the Waterloo College of Arts was established, offering post-secondary three-year programs.[7] Waterloo College of Arts became affiliated with Western in 1925.
Laurier's school colours of purple and gold originated in 1927: maroon and gold were the colours of Waterloo College, but to honour the link with the University of Western Ontario, whose colours were purple and white, maroon was discarded in favour of purple.
The Waterloo College Chapel features several stained glass windows including "Light of the world" (1941) and "Christ in the garden" (1940) by Robert McCausland Limited.
The University of Waterloo was originally conceived in 1955 as the Waterloo College Associate Faculties (WCAF), a semi-autonomous entity within Waterloo College intended to operate an expanded science program. UW was incorporated as an independent university in 1959.
In 1960, Lutheran church relinquished its sponsorship of Waterloo College. As a church-affiliated institution, Waterloo Lutheran was ineligible for capital funding from the province, and the Lutheran church was in no position to invest heavily in the university. The school also ended its affiliation with Western and was renamed Waterloo Lutheran University. The Lutheran church maintained control of Waterloo Lutheran Seminary, which federated with Wilfrid Laurier University.[7]
Wilfrid Laurier University was established by Wilfrid Laurier University Act 1973, which was amended in 2001.[8]
Laurier opened a second campus, in Brantford, Ontario, in 1999, and in 2006 the Lyle S. Hallman Faculty of Social Work moved from the Waterloo campus to a campus in downtown Kitchener. The Brantford campus is centred on a number of historic properties in the downtown area which have been restored for university use. They include a former Carnegie library, Brantford's 1880 post office, and 1870 mansion, and a 1950 Odeon Theatre. The Kitchener campus is located in the historic and fully renovated former St. Jerome's high school building.
In October 2008, the University was named one of Waterloo Area's Top Employers and featured in the Waterloo Region Record and Guelph Mercury newspapers.[9]
Waterloo Lutheran Seminary continues to operate in affiliation with the University and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada.
When Waterloo Lutheran University became a public university, a new name was needed. There were 94 proposed names, among them Beaver University, Louis Riel University and the Iroquois University of Waterloo. Eventually Wilfrid Laurier University was selected in 1973, but not without controversy, as some students at the time charged that Wilfrid Laurier was a politician of "questionable reputation" who had no connection to the school or the region of Waterloo. There has been speculation over the years that the name Wilfrid Laurier University was chosen mainly to preserve the initials as WLU.[10]
Book publishing[edit]
The Wilfrid Laurier University Press, which was founded in 1974, deals with archaeology, military history and sociology/anthropology.[7] Wilfrid Laurier University Press is one of only 17 university publishers found in Canada.[11]

|Maclean's Comprehensive[12]
The University is home to around 16,000 full-time and part-time undergraduate students, 781 full-time and part-time graduate students and over 500 in faculty and staff.[13] The university has consistently ranked among Canada's top schools in its category, an honour which is regularly confirmed by Maclean's magazine's annual rankings. The 2013 Macleans rankings placed Laurier fifth overall (first in Ontario) of the 21 Canadian universities in the category of "Primarily Undergraduate" universities.[14]
In 2012, for undergrad programs, the minimum entering average was 84.3% for the arts, 83.8% for science, and 87.5% for business (89% in 2014).[15] The internationally renowned Faculty of Music at Laurier is considered one of the best in the country, with programs in performance, music education, composition, music history, church music, theory and music therapy. In addition, Laurier is home to the Penderecki String Quartet - an internationally recognised group playing largely new compositions. The music faculty boasts two performance spaces, the Theatre Auditorium and the Maureen Forrester Recital Hall (named after the famous contralto and former chancellor of Laurier). The faculty also attracts a greater percentage of students from outside Ontario than any other faculty at Laurier. Laurier's Music program boasts the only Masters Degree in Music Therapy. Laurier's strength in "music and business education" is touted as one of the reasons that Waterloo Region is a "powerful educational hub" by former University of Waterloo president, and now Governor-General of Canada, David Johnston.[citation needed]
The university is also home to the Laurier Institute for the Study of Public Opinion and Policy, the Laurier Centre for Military, Strategic and Disarmament Studies, the Cold Regions Research Centre, and several other research centres.[16] [17]
Laurier is the current headquarters of the Academic Council of the United Nations System (ACUNS) which was previously hosted by Yale, Brown and Dartmouth. The ACUNS goal is to strengthen the study of international organizations and to create strong ties between the academic community and diplomats within international organizations.
Laurier is also a prominent partner in the new Balsillie School of International Affairs, opened in Uptown Waterloo in 2008. The school offers three programs: a masters in arts in global governance, a masters in international public policy and a PhD program in global governance.[18]
Laurier Library[edit]
The Laurier Library holds more than 965,000 print items, more than 240,000 electronic books, more than 25,000 full text electronic journals and databases, thousands of media titles (about 5,000 including streaming and DVDs). In addition, the library is a member of the TriUniversity Group of Libraries (University of Waterloo, University of Guelph, Wilfrid Laurier University), through which access to a combined information collection in excess of seven million print items is available.
The Library, in conjunction with Wilfrid Laurier University Press, hosts Scholars Commons @ Laurier, an institutional repository that aims to support open scholarly communication, collaboration, and lasting visibility and recognition for Laurier scholarship. It houses faculty scholarship, theses, dissertations, online journals, and an archival collection of The Cord dating back to 1926.
Laurier offers a variety of different programs through its 6 faculties: Arts, Science, Education, Music, Social Work, and Laurier School of Business & Economics.
Waterloo campus[edit]
Laurier's primary campus ("The Waterloo Campus") is located in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. The majority of the University's faculties reside at the Waterloo Campus, including Business, Arts, Science, Music, and Health. Altogether, approximately 15,000 students attend classes at the Waterloo campus.
- Virtual Tour A new business school is under construction at the Waterloo campus.[19]
Laurier Waterloo operates one all female residence (Conrad Hall), one all male residence (Little House), and ten co-ed student residences: Bouckaert Hall, Bricker Residence, Euler Residence, King's Court Residence, King Street Residence, Leupold Residence, Macdonald House, Marshall Street Apartments, Regina Residence, Spruce Street Apartments, University Place Residence, Waterloo College Hall, and Willison Hall. Together, these residences house approximately 2,780 men and women, with 2,664 beds reserved for undergraduate first-year students.[20]
When applying to residences, students can choose to be a part of a Residence Learning Community, a themed residence environment where all members share a common interest, major, or coursework. These communities are designed to extend opportunities for learning and development beyond the classroom, mainly through networking opportunities with peers, faculty, and staff. Residence Life currently operates the following communities: Glocal: Thinking Global, Acting Local, Innovation: Entrepreneurship, Languages and Literatures, School of Business and Economics, Faculty of Science, Singer and Songwriter, The Reel World: English and Film Studies, and Vimy Hall: War, Memory and the Canadian Military Experience. [21]
Brantford campus[edit]
Laurier's secondary campus ("The Laurier Brantford Campus") is located in Brantford, Ontario, approximately 50 km south of the main campus in Waterloo. The campus opened its doors in 1999 with a total of 39 students in its inaugural year. As of 2010, over 3,600 students were enrolled at the school.
- Grand River Hall
- Post House
- Rizzo Building
- Wilkes House
- Lawyer's Hall
- Lucy Marco Place
- Expositor Place
(all of which are apartment style)
Kitchener campus[edit]
In the Fall of 2006 the Faculty of Social Work (previously on the Waterloo campus) moved to downtown Kitchener. Located on Duke St. it moved into the old St. Jerome's High School which was designated a heritage site by the City of Kitchener. This move allowed the students to be closer to the community and social service agencies with which they are partnered. Also in an effort to partner better with the community and make the building more welcoming, faculty and staff held such events as the Political Coffee House Series, several all-candidates debates and the Expressions of Social Justice Festival
Proposed Milton campus[edit]
The Town of Milton, Ontario and Laurier have been working together since 2008 with the intent of developing a 150-acre campus in Milton within the Milton Education Village (MEV).[22][23] The Town initially donated 60 hectares to Laurier worth $50 million. In 2015, the Milton Velodrome was opened in the MEV as a venue for the 2015 Pan American and Para Pan Am Games.
In May 2015, The Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities turned down Laurier's request to fund its proposed Milton campus. The Ministry says there will be a second call for proposals in spring 2016, for a campus in the Peel and Halton region — which includes Milton. Laurier has confirmed it will re-submit its proposal.[24]
The university is represented in Canadian Interuniversity Sport by the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks.
The history of the team name (Golden Hawks) dates back to the 1961. For many years, the Waterloo College teams were called simply the Waterloo College teams, although sometimes they were called the Purple and Gold and other times the Waterloons. In 1950, the college's newspaper mused that a name was needed, and in December 1951 a new name was tested: the Mules.[25]
Subsequently, the hockey team became the Ice Mules and the women's basketball and volleyball teams were known as the Mulettes.
In 1960, with the shift from college to university status, the university student newspaper again lobbied for change. At a meeting that year, somebody suggested Golden Hawks and that was the name adopted. A headline in the January 16, 1961 issue of the newspaper read "From 'Jackass' to 'Bird of Prey'".[26]
On November 13, 2004, the Golden Hawks football team won the Yates Cup against the McMaster Marauders at University Stadium in front of a record crowd of 8,175. It was the sixth Yates Cup victory for Laurier in its history. The game also ended McMaster's four-year Ontario championship winning streak. The men's football team scored a second successive Yates Cup victory in November, 2005, followed by a victory in the Uteck Bowl against Acadia. The Hawks then defeated the University of Saskatchewan Huskies 24–23 to win the 2005 Vanier Cup, their first since 1991.
Laurier's first female national championship was won in 1992 by the women's soccer team, which followed that up with their second CIS title in 1995. The men's soccer team claimed back-to-back national championships in 2000 & 2001.[27]
In 2007 the women's lacrosse team achieved a dynasty status by winning their fifth OUA Ontario University Athletics gold medal in a row. In February 2008, the women's hockey team claimed its fifth gold medal in as many years and seventh since 1998. The women's hockey team won its first CIS national championship in 2005. Both teams have since won sixth consecutive championships in their respective sports, furthering their dynasties.
In 2008 both the men's and women's curling teams won the inaugural CIS Championships and represented Canada in China at the 2009 World University Games. The women's team repeated as CIS Champion's in 2009 in Montreal and went on to represent Canada in the Karuizawa International Curling championships where they claimed first place.[28]
The athletic facilities at Wilfrid Laurier University include an Athletic Complex, a Football Stadium and an outdoor multi-purpose fieldturf field. The Athletic Complex houses three Gyms, two squash courts, an Olympic-size swimming pool, a rock-climbing Wall, and Aerobics/Weight Rooms. University Stadium includes a fieldturf football field and a large indoor gymnasium.[29] The swimming pool underwent a $2 million renovation in 2009/2010.[30] In 2007, University Stadium underwent a $5 Million renovation.[31]
Students' Union[edit]
The Students' Union is funded by undergraduate student fees, and all students are automatically members of the Students' Union. Their mission is to enhance the holistic student experience at Wilfrid University by providing innovative resources and effective representation within a safe and empowering campus community.[32] The Students' Union provides a number of services for students, including bus passes, Direct2U Prescription, emergency response team, food bank, foot patrol, health and dental insurance coverage, the member card, peer-help line, student life line, and tech share.[33] The Wilfrid Laurier University Students' Union Clubs and Associations department supports over 130 clubs and associations involving over 3,000 students. Clubs and Associations supports all clubs by offering resources and financial support as well as acting as a liaison to the Students' Union and University administration.[34]
Laurier alumni have recently reached over 88,000 graduates from 85 countries.[35]
Tuition Costs[edit]
For the 2014-2015 academic year, tuition costs are $5,980/year for non-business majors and $7,905/year for business majors (for domestic students).[36]
Investment Banking[edit]
Many of Laurier's graduates are employed in investment banking in Canada and abroad. Laurier University ranks second in Canada for investment banking. The ranking is determined by comparing the number of Laurier graduates employed directly in the investment banking industry relative to other universities (and their graduates) in Canada.[37]
Laurier has the oldest business co-op program in English-speaking Canada and largest business co-op program in Canada.[38] There are several co-op opportunities with KPMG, Ernst and Young and CIBC World Markets. [39]
The chancellor of Laurier University multi-billionaire financial investor Michael Lee-Chin, was featured in Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown CNN series in the Jamaica episode, number 8. Mr. Bourdain interviews Mr. Lee-Chin from his Jamaican mansion.[40]
Greek Life[edit]
Wilfrid Laurier is home to a vibrant and growing Greek life. With about 5% of the student populations involved in Fraternities and Sororities on campus.

There is evidence that Wal-mart is illegally cheating it`s workers of their money. They hire a slow amount of workers and make them work overtime. BUT, they don`t pay overtime. So they`re just like, "Well, get the job done by tomorrow." I`m not saying all Wal-Marts do this.
And what about the workers in China? Those who work 5AM-10PM, in a hot sweatshop?

"We've been developing a plan that would fulfill the requirements of the law and satisfy our customers," she said this morning.
Tom Scott of the Michigan Retailers Association told the Detroit Free Press that some stores still can choose to keep price tags. The new law requires that prices be displayed close to the item.
Instead of tagging each piece of store inventory, D&W/Spartan product prices will now be seen on price signs or tags at or near the product — "just as the law requires," Norcross said.
The 97 D&W/Spartan-owned stores — including one in Grand Haven — still have tags on most of its products, but will be "transitioned" out as products are sold.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

We were in full-on cringe mode yesterday when we saw the first cover of Dasha Zhukova's new magazine Garage, for which a woman had her vagina tattooed to resemble a butterfly. And that woman says she has absolutely no regrets whatsoever about the painful procedure, or carrying around Hirst work around with her at all times for the rest of her life.
Model and illustrator Shauna Taylor told Page Six that she would have been crazy not to take advantage of the opportunity to have artist Damien Hirst tattoo her vagina. Because someday, she's going to give birth through a work of art.
"I would have been stupid not to be part of this project. I have a piece of art on my vagina. Not one single person can ever say they gave birth through a Damien Hirst piece of art. I can [if I ever give birth]."
Call us pedantic for this observation if you want to, but while Hirst himself may have designed the tattoo, he didn't ink the green and black decoration onto Taylor's pudenda himself. He left that to professional tattoo artist Mo Coppoletta. At best, the tattoo isn't a Hirst original. It's more like a print.
But we digress. Taylor went on to say that she had hoped the procedure wouldn't hurt, but that getting her most sensitive area tattooed "was probably the worst pain I have felt." We wonder if giving birth through a work of art would hurt more?

Rebels Reject Syrian Govt Calls for Negotiations
Demand Assad's Immediate Resignation as Precondition
Syrian rebels have once again angrily condemned offers for negotiations with the Assad government, insisting that they would never negotiate until Assad announced his immediate resignation, adding that they believe he and other members of the regime are "criminals and we will not negotiate with a criminal."
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem said that the government was ready to negotiate without any precondition, and that they were even willing to negotiate with armed factions, and indeed anyone else willing to negotiate with them.
The comments are a step forward for Syria's government in agreeing to negotiation, as previous offers have come with preconditions of a ceasefire. The rebel position, which is to reject any talks, has not changed.
The rebels appear not to have an endgame that involves a negotiated settlement, despite the apparent stalemate of the ongoing civil war. Minor territorial gains are forever being reported, but the rebels seem no closer to actually conquering the nation, let alone imposing a new government on the nation.

this was Obama-Clinton message from day one, before the "civil war" …message: Assad must go. They pushed that message, people seem to forget the willingness of the WH to push for overthrow. Then how quickly they skirted the issue. of course, that was back when the Libyan adventurism was going so well (at least on the surface/msm drivel…)
now where are we at? A useless opposition group making demands because Kerry et al in Roma may make these idiots look appealing to the donor crowds?
er., oppositional fighters for hire convention in Rome, sponsered by Kerry-Obama…
well, 2+ years and blah blah. blah. Assad is not falling. 100 years of stupidity from Ango-Franco-American alliance baiting angry men to kill for empire and promise of land. French Americans still don't get their countries hands in all of this.
To save their masters face they will say and do anything..,
"Minor territorial gains are forever being reported, but the rebels seem no closer to actually conquering the nation, let alone imposing a new government on the nation."
Yet, the media continues to claim – as they've been doing for two years now – that the regime will fall at any moment. Any media outlet that's worth any grain of salt would be embarassed by this kind of one-sided reporting based on "reports" from "activists" (i.e., the rebels). They've yet to conquer any major cities or establish any kind of stronghold worth anything in the country. the Syrian military is well armed and determined to vanquish these vermin from their country – especially after the atrocious bombing in Damascus last week which the US couldn't even bring themselves to condemn.

LOUISVILLE - Officials from the town, fire department and Northern New York Volunteer Firemens Association all agree that this past weekends firefighters convention was a success.
I think for a first time convention host they did a bang-up job, association President Duane St. Louis said.
Mr. St. Louis said he was especially pleased with the attendance at the group annual meeting, memorial service and other events throughout the week.
Andy Fregoe did a great job, Mr. St. Louis said, referring to convention chair Andy S. Fregoe. He held a great crowd all three days.
According to Mr. St. Louis, the annual meeting was attended by 100 to 120 firefighters, with another 150 to 200 in attendance at the memorial service.
We had a very good turnout, Mr. St. Louis said. Im proud of the job they did, and I hope we can have another convention in Louisville.
Mr. Fregoe said he was also pleasantly surprised by the attendance at many of the weekends events.
The memorial service was impressive, he said, noting the New Testament Church of Massena proved to be a very good host.
You could play a football game in there, he said. Ive been to other services where there were people standing up in the back with more people waiting outside.
Mr. Fregoe said the towns facilities, which also included the fire hall and arena, were the topic of much discussion.
Everyone kept talking about our facilities, he said, adding that wasnt something he had put a lot of thought into leading up to the event.
Mr. Fregoe also said the support from the community helped make the event the success it was.
The town, recreation department and highway department all did a great job, he said, also naming Curran Energy Renewables, A. Cappione, Inc. Frenchies Ford, Frenchies Chevy and Hurlbut Tent Rental as other contributors to the event.
While the attendance at Thursdays and Fridays events may have exceeded expectations, Mr. Fregoe said the crowd on Saturday really showed other members of the association what Louisville has to offer.
Looking out at the crowd on Saturday was a truly impressive sight, he said.
Like Mr. St. Louis, Town Supervisor Larry R. Legault said he would like to see the town host another convention.
I think it was a huge success. There was a very good crowd and the weather was great. I dont think we could have asked for anything better, he said. I think we proved we could host a convention. I would like to see the department pursue another convention down the road.
And while Mr. Fregoe gave credit to the town, Mr. Legault was quick to credit the convention chair for his work over the past several months.
I think a lot of the credit should go to Andy Fregoe, who chaired the convention, and the other members of the department. They did a great job.
When asked is he was nervous heading into the event, which Louisville was hosting for the first time, Mr. Fregoe said no.
I knew things would work, he said.

Panel finds evidence to punish Rep. Derrick Smith
June 6, 2012
The Associated Press
The Illinois House has enough evidence to punish state Rep. Derrick Smith in the wake of a federal indictment accusing him of accepting a $7,000 bribe, a special legislative committee that investigated the Chicago Democrat said in a report released Wednesday.
The committee's task was only to determine whether Smith should be punished. Another committee will choose whether to reprimand, censure or expel Smith — or to take no action.
The seven-page report said the alleged misconduct legislators should examine is that Smith "abused the power of his office by participating in a scheme to obtain a personal benefit in exchange for his official acts."
Smith, 48, allegedly took the bribe for backing a $50,000 state grant application on behalf of a day care center that turned out to be fictitious. Authorities say it was an FBI sting with an undercover informant wearing a recorder.
Smith has pleaded not guilty to accepting a bribe in exchange for using his influence to obtain a state grant. He has mostly avoided public comment on his legal trouble but told reporters in April that he planned to fight the charges.
If convicted, Smith could face a maximum 10-year prison sentence and a $250,000 fine.
Appearing before the committee last month, Smith declined to speak, something the committee's report noted. It said he was within his rights but suggested his refusal to talk was "an impediment to (the committee's) fact-finding mission."
During the hearing, his attorney, Victor Henderson, accused the government of relying on "manufactured documents and other fake information in their zeal to create an alleged crime."
In making its finding, the special committee had a much lower standard of fault-finding than Smith would face in federal court.
Smith's political saga in some ways echoes the corruption case of imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. As with that case, Smith's also has proven an embarrassment for Illinois Democrats.
Democratic leaders were shocked when Smith, who was appointed to his House seat to fill a vacancy, was arrested on the federal bribery charge just before Illinois' March primary. Still, Democratic leaders encouraged voters to back Smith because his Democratic primary opponent was a former Republican official.
Once Smith won with an overwhelming majority, Democrats switched course and party leaders from across the state began calling for him to resign.
Smith has given no indication he intends to step down.
"The people in my district elected me ... even after the government charged me with wrongdoing and that's because they believed in me and what I will do to represent them in Springfield," he said in April. "God gives us all a cross to bear and this lawsuit is mine."

Words and Photos: Aaron Smith
Here's another post with more Kansas City photos. Hope you all aren't getting sick of my KC homies because…I'm not.
Ryan Pearce is one of the lucky ones that can skate anything. Here he is backside crailsliding over 10 feet deep.
He did it frontside before. I think he did this easier and with less fear than I have dropping in on this thing.
Speaking of being able to skate anything, Mr. Sean Malto is one of the lucky ones too. Although, you kind of have to be able to skate a wide variety of things if you're pro. Here's Sean doing a backside over crook in a bowl in wintery Kansas City.
This might be one of Kansas City's most well known spots. Well, at least I think so. I've been skating here for years. I love those spots that you skate all the time and new tricks somehow keep going down. This fakie 5-0 Sean is doing is insane! Just think about it. Popping fakie up to this high ledge and being able to grind all the way to the end. Pretty insane! This is one of the few things I've seen Sean battle for.
Speaking of this ledge, here's Dag (Dillon Aguilar) doing a front crook. I really like this photo mostly because of the memory of him doing it. Dag had just learned front crooks and wanted to do it on this just to do it. It was one of those no stress sessions where you're just hanging out with friends and somehow you shoot a photo too.
This nosepick Dag is doing is insane! The ground up to this spot is the worst! Also, factor in this was in the middle of winter in Kansas City which means it's coooold! I really don't like shooting in the cold but I do admire people willing enough to try to get a trick when it's freezing out.
More Dag! This is another insane trick. I wouldn't touch this dumpster with a 10 foot pole. There are way too many possible deadly outcomes when you try to skate something like this. This is one of those times where I honestly have no idea how he did this nosegrind.
I really like this spot. What photographer wouldn't like a stair set that's background is a bunch of over sized books? I really love the way Rod Harper skates because he always does something a little different. He did this wall plant with no problem at all.
I remember this night like it was yesterday. I shot this photo on November 8, 2008. Who remembers what happened on that night? Yep, Obama won the Presidential Election. Now, I'm not going to go into my political views but when that happened America went nuts. I was 20 years old when this happened and the first time I has ever participated in an election so I don't have a frame of reference but it was crazy. I wouldn't say any of my friends are especially politically active but we all were around the TV or radio that night because we knew a major event was about to happen. When the news came in Tyshaun Johnson was hyped! He said lets go to River Market rail. We drove across town and lots of people were out partying and honking their horns. We joined in and were yelling "Obama" out the window. It was rad. Tyshaun did this kickflip noseslide that night and every time he would go back and try it again he would say he's doing it right here for Obama. He was hyped!
Here's another photo of Tyshaun. This time he's doing a front feeble pop out. I really like all the colors in this photo. Sorry no cool election story for this picture.
Josh White is a monster. I've seen and been through a lot with this kid. He did this 50-50 down this 20 stair second try. First try he got into some weird smith grind and pretty much flew down the whole rail and slammed on his face. He was no excited to try it again. I offered him $20 (1 buck for every stair) and that got him hyped enough to give it one more try. Pretty crazy.
This was a very weird day. One of those slow days where you're sure nothing cool is going to happen. Somehow Ernie and I and a few other people ended up at this ditch and were just messing around for awhile. Ernie saw this drain that led into the ditch and thought you could ollie from it and into the bank. The only problem was the fence was in the way. So, while hopefully no one was looking, we broke down the fence and made it possible to skate. Ernie did this ollie first try.
Here's one of Garrett Olinger doing a kickfip over a wall and into a bank. This was one of those "getting kicked out and you have one more try" tricks. He nailed it. I always like those. Last week I wrote that Garrett was a Graphic Designer in New York and link to a website which was wrong. So this week is redemption. Here is the link to his website.
I'm pretty sure this was the first switch heelflip Sean has ever done over a gap. This would not be my first choice of spots to try a new trick down. I ollied this thing years ago and the was hard as hell. Going super fast switch toward this is not my idea of fun. Sean pulled through like he always does. He did this switch heel unbelievably good!
Now we're getting to the my two favorite photos in this post. This one is of Ryan Pearce doing a boardslide popover in downtown Kansas City. I know I don't need to explain how gnarly this is. Just look at it. Fun fact about this photo is the Malto actually took it. I shot a sequence of this trick and I handed Sean another camera and told him where and when to shoot it and he did.
Malto was messing around warming up one day and switch flipped 5 board on flat. Needless to say, I knew he had to do something with that switch flip. This hydrant spot was one of Kansas City's favorite warm up spots. I told Malto that he should switch flip this hydrant. He had never thought about it, which is weird because it's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw he could switch flip that high. He didn't think he could do it but within about 10 minutes he was rolling away from one of the best switch flips I've ever seen! This day was unbelievably cold! My equipment was acting weird because of the freezing temperature.
Check back next friend for even more Kansas City photos.

Ecuador Seminar: Team Celebrates in Quito
Posted by: Adam Knoff, Casey Grom | January 14, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Ecuador
Domingo. This is the Spanish equivalent to Sunday. And as we all know, on the seventh day of God's exhausting work week he rested. Granted he did create all living things, the land and sea as well as the heavens so deservingly so he earned the right to sit on the couch and mourn a Green Bay packers loss. Our team simply climbed a 19,000 foot mountain which God would dismiss as child's play but we are mere mortals. Regardless, Sunday greeted our freshly washed group at La Cienega with beautiful sunshine and happy humming birds. After breakfast we loaded the van and rolled back to Quito to celebrate Ginger and Albert's time with us. By mid afternoon the team had sniffed out the most American sports bar this side of the amazon and watched what us gringos consider "real" football. Jaime keeps calling it hand ball and for some reason I can't find a witty comeback. All I can say is God is a Green Bay packer fan. After football we rested some more and then headed out for our fair well dinner. We have all passed this one Mexican restaurant with a short mariachi man standing on the corner blowing a toy trumpet trying to persuade any hungry looking gringo into his place. Because I seem to promise this funny little guy we will come in next time, I figured it would be bad karma to pass him up again. So Mexican it was. Sadly they can't serve beer after 4pm on Sundays because too many people were getting sloshed after church and crashing their cars, so I had to sooth my jalapeño burns with red wine. The food turned out to be great so the team went back to the hotel content. We now head south to Chimborazo. Albert and Ginger, we will miss you. Wish us luck.

This year Thanksgiving is a little different because for some reason or the other, you've decided that you won't go home for Thanksgiving– so it's time for you to make the most of where you are with the family of friends that you have collected over the months.
Thanksgiving is usually celebrated with family but this time you will have to recreate that atmosphere and share the love with your friends. This means that you have to introduce some new ideas that break traditional Thanksgiving meals – so as to accommodate a circle of people who may not necessarily be comfortable with each other – in the way families are.
But the beauty of Thanksgiving is in its spirit and here are ways in which you can share it with people that surround you, wherever you maybe this Thanksgiving:
Invite the social outcast along with your friends to your Thanksgiving party. It's a little out of your comfort zone, but you will be surprised how the 'odd' guest at your party may actually bring a new flair to your circle of friends and in exchange be inspired by your Thanksgiving spirit.
Share the responsibilities of planning a Thanksgiving meal with your friends. It may be burdensome on one person to foot the bill of a Thanksgiving party – so why not pool resources among friends and decide to share responsibilities of preparing meals according to their home traditions. This will make Thanksgiving somewhat different and more exciting as you all embrace each other's unique ways of preparation and traditions.
Make it sentimental, fun and memorable. While nostalgia fills the air as most of you can't go home for Thanksgiving – you still feel sentimental over this family day and use it to build memories with your friends, the same way that you would with your family. Play games, reflect on what you have been grateful for this past year and use it as an opportunity to get to know each other more personally.
Feed the homeless. When your bellies are filled with all the delicious yummy food and you still have some leftover food– share the meal with homeless people who haven't been treated to the blessing of a warm Thanksgiving meal. They will be ever so grateful.
Thanksgiving is about being grateful for all that you have been blessed with and sharing this quality time with your family and loved ones. And if you can't be with the one's you love then you might as well share this love with the ones that you are with this Thanksgiving.

Who Is Hope Dworaczyk? The Sexy 'Celebrity Apprentice' Sounds Off
Competing alongside the likes of Gary Busey, Marlee Matlin, LaToya Jackson, rapper Lil John, 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star NeNe Leakes and Star Jones, Dworaczyk is raising money for Best Buddies, an organization designed to provide mentoring and employment for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
But we all know that Trump's cutthroat competition (Sundays, 9PM ET on NBC) doesn't always mean rainbows, butterflies and the joy of helping people -- and this season looks more aggression-filled than ever.
I caught up with Dworaczyk (pronounced "dor-AH-sik") to get the real scoop on this drama-packed season, including those nasty fights between NeNe and Star, the benefits of playing nice, a very meaty challenge and the celebrity she calls "so crazy!"
And if you were already overwhelmed by how bad the bickering was in the season premiere, you haven't seen anything yet. ("Oh, there's so much more!") Judging by her candid answers and teases of challenges to come, it sounds like Dworaczyk wasn't quite prepared either.
"I thought I was showing up to do a show where you're really using business skills and I was gonna prove myself to everybody, and instead it's just catfights," she says.
But don't discount Dworaczyk because she's quiet. In fact she admits that she found herself in the middle of the NeNe vs. Star drama, but jokes that she lasted "much longer" than her fellow competitors who came looking for a fight.
Very interesting ... keep reading for more.
All of your castmates were talking about how they've got daggers hidden, and they're ready to rumble. They came prepared to fight!
Yeah, I wasn't like that, to tell you the truth. But I lasted longer than most of the people that were, I can tell you that. [Laughs] Much longer. You'll see.
Ooh ... well for now, it's really the NeNe Leakes / Star Jones fighting that has everyone intrigued. Is it as big of a deal as everyone's making it out to be?
Absolutely. It's actually really scary because I'm put into the middle of it. I'm really quiet, but at one time when they're going at each other, I'm in the middle, and NeNe yells at me because I won't react. She gives it to Star Jones a lot more because Starr does react. I just stand next to her and look straight and don't answer anything she says.
So NeNe's kind of the instigator?
NeNe and Star are just both ... it was not good energy past a certain point. They really tried being BFFs -- maybe for a couple of episodes they were good and solid. Who knows what they said once they got into the quiet interview room, but it didn't last very long.
And do you have to live with these people?
Oh no, you don't live with them, so that's good. We all had separate suites. They tried putting us on different floors, but I lived next door to Gary Busey and Niki Taylor.
Random! When you heard the cast for this season, who were you most excited to meet?
I was so excited about Niki Taylor because when I wanted to be a model before I was ever in New York, I just loved her and always thought she'd be so sweet, and she ended up being really kind. We've stayed in contact. I was also really excited that Gary Busey was part of it because he's so crazy! I knew that I wouldn't be bored. [Laughs] I also knew not to underestimate Lil John. I knew he was going to be really smart ... I was excited about working with him. Marlee [Matlin] was sweet too ... I had met her before in L.A. at Yom Kippur dinners and stuff like that.
You might be Playmate of the Year, but you're still sort of the under-the-radar one. Do you think that helps you in the game?
When I went in, I just knew that I had to go in friendly. Being young and in my 20s, the next youngest is Niki who's 35 or 36. And then there's Dionne Warwick who's like 70 years old, and Star Jones is maybe 50 ... so going in with women who were that much older than me, I knew they'd be like, "This is the young one. Let's get her out of here because she's a bimbo." They just stereotype you. So I just went in, not really with a strategy, just wanting to get along with everybody because I didn't really want to have a fight on national television.
And you think other people came in looking for that?
Well I didn't look at this show as being a way to promote myself and make myself a reality star. At all. I actually thought it was going to be good because it'd end up showing that you're creative, you have skills ... we go through so many different tasks. We had to produce ... I can't say what it was, but a big project. That's why I was out of the catfights. Some of the people that were on there were on as reality stars -- like Richard Hatch or NeNe Leakes -- so their thing is to cause drama because that's how people watch more and know their names. So I think it worked a little bit to fly under the radar, because I wasn't a threat right away to anybody. And then I was.
Did you have a favorite challenge?
I have to be careful not to say why it's my favorite, but ... I don't know if I can say this, but I don't eat red meat, and one challenge is difficult because it was for Omaha Steaks. [Laughs] But that was one of my favorites. And I loved the art task, too, because we were painting and it was just a good time, and we raised so much money.
What was the hardest part of doing the show?
It was really challenging because of the hours. I really thought we were going to show up and a lot of it would kind of be done, and the producers would make the phone calls and you would just be hanging out on camera. But it's not like that. It was so, so challenging. And the ladies had it much tougher because we had to get up for hair and makeup, too. The guys would roll out of bed at six and get ready in five minutes, and the ladies would be up at five.
Do you feel like Donald is the ringmaster of this little circus?
He is the Ringmaster because he has the final say on who's there, and I know some people he requested specifically. And he loves the drama. He loves it because he knows it's great television. I guess you always have to get the sweet one, the troublemaker, the backstabber -- kind of cast it -- but he thinks a lot about it.
Any chance you'd do another reality show?
I've learned to never say never, but I have so much more that I want to do. You don't want to film my life! Like I feel like my life is not that interesting. [Laughs] I also don't want to open up that much. I don't know ... I would never want a camera in my home. If it's something like 'Dancing With the Stars,' that may be different, I don't know. But as far as having a camera inside my house -- it's just uncomfortable. I can't imagine having personal conversations ... or waking up and brushing my teeth. You don't want to see me brush my teeth. I want secrets.
What do you think people will be most surprised by this season?
I think you're going to see sides of people that you've never seen. Meat Loaf, for example, like crying and then yelling. Lil John is really funny. John Rich is gonna be tough. You'll get to know people too, as the tasks go on. It's not all screaming and fighting -- there's actual bonding that happens. And then the fights happen. [Laughs]

"Where you come from is gone;
where you are headed weren't never there;
and where you are ain't no good unless you can get away from it."
I started out last may commuting on a $180 mountain bike. I put street tires on it and called her good. Later put on fenders and a rear rack. Anywho, I had no idea that there was such a thing as a hybrid bike until 4 months after I had bought my MTB. I didn't have much money at the time so thats why I bought the price I did. If you are unafraid of your bike being stolen because of the locks you own and the area you are in and money is not an issue then obviously the commuting bike would be best. Quality over quantity. Riding a mountain bike isn't bad at all in fact I enjoy it and usually go no 20 mile rides when I don't have to commute every day. A hybrid will make you get there faster than a MTB with street tires. I would go with alu because if you are going to ride all year eventually steel will rust.
Life is short, focus on the things that do matter in life and don't forget the rest.
Every commute is different, but I voted older road bike updated with brifters. It'll probably have decent tire clearance unles syou deal with a lot of snow, and brifters are pretty good for urban riding if that's something you do. Also, while I do frequently commute on new bikes, locking up an older beater with less money sunk into it is much more worry-free.
People will disagree, but my experience with brifters in the cold has been extremely poor. Any bit of rain in the cold, or freezing rain and they freeze up and won't shift.
That's why I voted downtube with fenders. But my personal choice is a sensibly geared, steel SS with fenders.
Not too much to say here
I'd update an old road bike with bar-cons. I'm kinda nervous about using downtube shifters in traffic, and I absolutely hate using brifters myself.
I like old-school, so I voted road bike with downtube shifters. An 80's touring bike with clearance for wide tires and fenders, canti's and lots of braze-ons would make an ideal commuter.

An older road bike with brifters would do it for me. That is what I am using now. Here in Southern California we do not have the weather issues that can mess up the shifting. I also like the safety factor of not reaching for downtube shifters in traffic.

Sorry, none of the above.
The vast majority of my riding (measured by number rides, hours and miles) is commuting and errands. Therefore I want my best bike under my butt for those rides. I'm willing to compromise on fun bikes, but not my commuter. Between the bike, accessories and a second wheelset for the snow tires, I'm closing in on $2.5K for my new commuter rig. Three months after-the-fact, riding in fair weather and foul, I think it's the best money I ever spent.
Part of it too it is that around here, there seems to be no such thing as a decent used bike, and very few used bikes at all that fit me. My fun road bike was a $100 Craigslist special I bought only because it was the first road bike I'd seen in nearly a year that was the right size. The bike was a total POS that required a complete rebuild. With the exception of the occasional Madone, that's characteristic of all the bikes I've seen on CL here in the past two years.
My two favorite things in life are libraries and bicycles. They both move people forward without wasting anything.
The perfect day: Riding a bike to the library.Peter Golkin
Lucky for me, I work at a library and bike to work.
I would pick a couple from that list...
Older mountain bikes with classic geometry and rigid forks are a popular choice for commuters here as they are robust and can take a beating...the higher volume tires also make the ride much more comfortable. I ride an '87 Kuwahara Cascade that has been converted to a fixed gear and besides fenders and lights it also has front and rear racks to better distribute loads. It runs semi slick tires in nice weather and gets studs in the winter.
Older road bikes make good sense from an economic perspective and can be configured in many ways and I would lean towards one with dt shifters (simple and reliable) and insist on having a rack and fenders on most of my commuter / utility bikes as I prefer paniers over a backpack.
The choice really depends on the distance, terrain, and climate you have to deal with and I have 4 bikes that I use for commuting that include2 fixed gears (road bike and mtb), a cross bike, and a vintage mtb that I converted to a three speed (internal gear hub).

Don't run red lights, wear a helmet, use hand signals, get some cycle lights(front and rear) and, FFS, don't run red lights!
Is None of the above OK? I use a Bruce Gordon touring bike, well over your $1,000.00 limit.
This space open
Of course I live in Georgia... the only time our roads get salted is when we spill boiled peanuts on them.
My winter beater is steel as well, and they salt the crap out of the roads here. It gets wiped down on the weekends, and that's about it. I can't say there's not a SPOT of rust on it, but it's certainly not going to rust through and fall to pieces anytime in the next 5 years.

My vote goes to something with 2 to 3 wheels.
All a commuter means is that it regularly goes from one place to the other.
It is up to the rider how and on what he\she wants to get there.
I have a aluminum fixie and am currently looking for a MTB beater for winter.
I also plan on building up a road frame that will take fenders and a rack. Not necessarily a touring bike but more like a relaxed roadie. Something like a soma smoothie ES.
In summer I commute on my full carbon bike from time to time.
When I commute, which isn't often enough, I do so on a Jamis Coda Sport. The flat bars and generous tire clearance are great. The price was $403, delivered to my workplace this past spring from a shop in Canada.
I have a Soma Smoothie ES siting next to the Jamis and I have to say that I prefer the Jamis for my six mile commute.
I have issues with flat bar bikes so in my case I would prefer the soma smoothie ES.
You've got to love the myriad of options we have.
As I haven't actually taken the poll yet, I'd ride any of the above. Ideally, this time of year would be any kind of mountain bike or a cross bike. Ideally when it's warmer would be any kind of road bike. I'm not terribly picky. I have a roadie, a hybridized rigid MTB and a decent hardtail with knobbies. Given the opportunity, I'd buy any of my bikes all over again.
ax0n: Geeky and bikey
My latest tip: Carrying your laptop
My latest geeky project: Ethernet-testing cuff links
I made the mistake of buying too expensive of a bike (2005 Trek 6700 disc) for commuting. Sure it rides nicely but I have to park it in a location that doesn't have great security and has the sun beating down on the bike all day. I think for next year I'm going to go out and buy a $300 max MB (w/o shocks). That way I can ride it to work or the grocery store without worrying.
I voted for the first option, but lemme tell ya... when I'm done building up my new bike, it's going to be well over the $500 - $1000 range.
I'm actually replacing my current commuter, and my too small road bike, with one bike to do it all. Surly LHT, built up with a SON28 hub, racks and fenders front and back, B-17 saddle, and eventually switching the drivetrain over to 105 or Ultegra triple wtih a 10spd rear.
For starters though, it's just a stock LHT complete: a shade under the 4 digit price tag.

Picking the ideal commuter bike is impossible even if because commutes can be vastly different. I would probably pick completely dissimilar bikes for a 4-mile urban commute than for a 25-mile rural commute. However, in my conditions (urban rides, mostly under or around 10 miles one way), my choice is older rigid mtbs with high-pressure slicks. For one thing, I like the smaller wheels, since they eliminate or greatly reduce toe overlap, which is important in a stop-and-go commuting where I might have to go very slowly and wobble in my quasi-trackstands while waiting for lights to change. I also like that there is lots of room for thicker tires, since I ride in winter too, and slicks aren't the best idea for the snow. I've no particular preference for a straight bar, but since that's what comes with rigid mtbs, I take it.
Stomping as lightly as I can...
I voted brifters only because I want brifters, and you asked what I'd choose. Really, though, I commute on a mountain bike with semi-slicks and it does me well. I added barends that emulate drops to allow me to ride in more positions and get lower to fight the wind, as well as a rear rack and changed the pedals to clipless. I don't commute very far, though. When I move home from school and start commuting to my job, I'll likely use a road bike or a fixie.
Build a true commuter bike-
Steel frame/fork with a hub gear, fenders, a rack etc.
A CrossCheck is a pragmatic platform to start with.
I have my Panasonic set up with rack/fenders. MTB was same, now just fendered with messenger bag and looking for a cheap rigid front end...
I vote one of each if you can?
Car Free Life.
Riding without a brake is like saying that you trust traffic. ~ jonestr
Depends far too much on your commute to vote. Where in the country do you live? How far will you ride? What sort of terrain?
If you have a safe place to lock your bike, you can spend more on it; if it's a short ride a mtb might be fine, if it's a longer one you might want a road bike, or a performance hybrid; fair-weather commuting needs a different bike from winter commuting. The list goes on.
Zero gallons to the mile
My thought was this. I live in Alaska. This means I will be runing studs 4-6 months out of the year, and not the oh-there-might-be-some-black-ice-on-the-way-to-work-700x38 variety, but th 2.1, 290 studs/tire+ variety. I prefer to ride a drop-bar road bike in the summer, but move back to the MTB in the winter.
I think what I am trying to determine is two things. First, I believe that the bikes made after about 1970 are of just as good quality as those made today (not counting the Muffy's which I guess are also still around today). The difference is primarily in components and the fact that newer materials have resulted in much lighter frames. In fact, I would assert that a mid to late 80's steel bike is better suited for commuting in terms of the balance between technology and stoutness than any non-commuter made today. You may or may not agree with this, but it seems to me that there are a whole bunch of people just as pleased commuting with their 1986 Schwinn Le Tours as their are with their new Rivendells.
This leads to the second thought which is more of the cruxt of the poll. If one accepts that a 1991 Bridgestone MB-3 with slicks, rack and fenders is equal to in performance and quality a similar Scott Sub 20, Treck 7.?, or pick-a-commeter available today, then I am wondering what the split would be between those who would dump the money into a new bike when it is at a 2-3 times premium of a converted old bike and why. Yeah, maybe you get a warranty, or the satisfaction of putting the first scratch in it, or whatever, but the fact is that if a steel bike has made it 16 years, it is probably going to make it another 16. Further, any drivetrain is going to be shot after several thousand miles, which is equal to 1-3 years of daily commuting anyway.
Finally, when I do wear out that good old Shimano 600 SIS, or Suntour non-indexed ARX, do I go to the trouble of converting over to brifters (to include the brifters, derailuers, new rear wheel and cassette, and probably the cranks), or do I just replace what is there and keep on truck'in.

where you are headed weren't never there;

Commit to Be Fit making a difference for kids
Even though it's only been a month, the Commit to Be Fit program taking place at three sites in Indian River County is making a difference in the fitness level of children.
Sue Brenton, food service manager at Treasure Coast Elementary School and one of program coordinators, said 150 children are enrolled in Commit to Be Fit at Pelican Island Elementary School, Storm Grove Middle School and Vero Beach Elementary School.
"I would say that the improved level of fitness is the best part of the program," said Brenton, who lives in Sebastian. "We're trying to make the kids aware of ways that they can be fit, even without ever stepping foot inside a gym."
Some of the activities include swimming and tumbling in a bounce house, Brenton said. And the children are taking their new-found knowledge home to parents as well.
"Parents say they really love the program," said Brenton. "The kids are reading the nutrition labels and asking their parent more questions about their health. It's really making a difference."
Several of the children have already lost weight because of the increased activity level, Brenton said. And they've learned how to check their pulse and heart rate to make sure their exercising at a peak performance level.
Another important component of the Commit to Be Fit program is teaching children how to garden and grow healthy vegetables for snacks. Gardens have already been planted at Storm Grove Middle School and Vero Beach Elementary School, with children at Pelican Island taking on a container gardening project.
"Everything we grow in the garden is all natural," said Brenton. "We didn't use any chemical fertilizers or pesticides. And when the program ends, teachers in each of the three schools will continue the gardening project with their students."
Commit to Be Fit is the brainchild of physical education instructor Marianne Day, who is a gym teacher at Storm Grove Middle School.
Day, Brenton and their colleagues applied for a $150,000 grant from the state's Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program to set up the program, which teaches children about fitness and healthy eating habits. Children receive a healthy breakfast and lunch each day as part of the Commit to Be Fit program, Brenton said.

A Borger man has been sentenced to 45 years for a murder that occurred in the spring of 2010.
Yesterday, visiting 316th District Judge David Gleason sentence Jose Israel Rodas, 38, of Borger, to 45 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for the April 17, 2010, slaying of 36-year-old Gloria Arias.
Her body was found with multiple stab wounds early in the morning of April 18, 2010, in her apartment at 504 West Second Street in Borger. After an in-depth investigation by the Borger Police Department, Rodas, a native of El Salvador and the former boyfriend of Arias, was named as the key suspect and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
On April 21, 2010, Rodas was captured in the canyons northwest of Borger by using a Texas DPS helicopter along with the assistance of several local law enforcement agencies. Rodas was indicted by a Hutchinson County Grand Jury on June 3, 2010, for first degree felony murder.
As part of the plea agreement, Rodas pleaded guilty to the murder, waived his right to a jury trial and he further waived his right of appeal. 84th District Attorney Mark W. Snider prosecuted the case for the State and Rodas was represented by Borger Attorney James Mosley.
Over the last year and a half, District Attorney Snider and his staff have met several time with Arias' children, and they approve of the 45-year prison sentence given to Rodas.
Several members of the Arias family, as well as Borger Police Department detectives who investigated the murder, were present at the hearing. All three of Arias' children were able to formally address Rodas in court following his sentencing.
District Attorney Snider said he is very pleased with the outcome of the case and hopes Rodas will remain incarcerated for the remainder of his life.
I am thrilled that he will be in jail the rest of his life, but I wish it would be in his native country, now that would be punishment! Our prisons have so many non-us citizens, that we again pay for..I don't understand why? Deport them..it's like sending them to an all male nursing home, so much better than where they came from...grrr
