A year later, Amy Winehouse still lives on
NEW YORK (AP) -- Singer Amy Winehouse's father says it's tough dealing with the loss of his daughter, but he's happy she is having a helpful impact on the world through the foundation named after her.
"Even after a small space in time — we're talking a year since Amy passed away — we are beginning, well, Amy is beginning, to have a positive effect on a lot of disadvantaged young people's lives," Mitch Winehouse said in an interview Friday.
Amy Winehouse died on July 23, 2011, at her London home from accidental alcohol poisoning at age 27. The Amy Winehouse Foundation was launched last year in the United Kingdom and in April in the United States.
Mitch Winehouse says he expects Monday — the one-year anniversary of Amy's death — to be difficult, but he will spend the day with family and friends. First they'll go to Amy's house for Jewish prayer and to be with the singer's fans. Then close friends will head to a party at Jazz After Dark, which was "Amy's favorite jazz bar."
"There are going to be lots of tears and lots of laughter and that is exactly how Amy would have wanted it," he said.
Amy Winehouse was one of music's critically revered singers, praised for her touching lyrical content, soulful tone and authenticity. Her debut, "Frank," was a U.K. success, but her breakthrough came with 2007's "Back to Black," a multiplatinum effort that won her five Grammy Awards. Mitch Winehouse says during that peak, "she was Adele and Lady Gaga rolled into one."
In the United Kingdom, the Winehouse family has raised more than $1 million and has assisted various charities. In America, the group is working with the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra to develop "after school music club houses" and feed hungry children throughout Louisiana.
The foundation has raised profits from donations and the release of the Amy's posthumous album "Lioness: Hidden Treasures" and a book by Mitch Winehouse titled "Amy, My Daughter," released this summer.
"I don't feel any accomplishment or any joy," Mitch Winehouse said of the book. "The reality is I shouldn't have had to written the book in the first place."
"I wrote it fairly quickly after Amy passed away. I found writing it quite cathartic and I thought it would help me in my recovery, and to a certain extent it has," he continued. "But reading the book back for edits was very difficult indeed; more difficult than writing the book."
Mitch Winehouse also said there's more Amy Winehouse music on the horizon: "We're working with (music producers) Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson to see what they've got. But we have to be mindful; we don't want to put anything out that could be damaging. It wouldn't be right for Amy's fans."
A film on his daughter's life is also a possibility, he says.
"Whatever we do we have to make sure it's done in good taste," he said. "We don't want a sensationalized movie going out, you know, but equally there's no point in sort of massaging the fact that Amy was a alcoholic and drug addict; no point in pretending that didn't happen."
The first annual Amy Winehouse Inspiration Awards and Gala will take place Oct. 11 in New York and will honor Remi and Tony Bennett, with whom Amy Winehouse won a Grammy with this year.

The ability to step back and look at the big picture is a luxury, particularly for anybody running his or her own company.
Business Bulding
A bit different, wouldn't you say? Luxury Homes is now Luxury Home Builder. Why the change you wonder?
A bit different, wouldn't you say? Luxury Homes is now Luxury Home Builder. Why the change you wonder?
Simple: this magazine and these articles aren't just about the homes featured in "The Tour" section of each issue. While these dwellings are some of the most spectacular examples of new residential construction, they are only part of the story. The story behind the story, if you will, is you--the builder who crafts these homes.
Everything we do in this magazine is about one thing--helping you build a business--and not just a house. This has always been the mission of this magazine and we think the new name puts the emphasis where it needs to be.
The name isn't the only thing different in this issue. There is a new and important new feature in Luxury Home Builder--The Tutorial. Custom home builder Tom Stephani is a lot like most of you. His company builds homes and not just houses, and there is a difference. While every house eventually becomes a home, the business of building homes versus houses is very different.
Luxury home building defies nearly every characteristic that makes for successful production building--product and floorplan standardization in an almost manufacturing-type environment. It's a faster paced business that depends, in part, on rapidly converting lots to houses to be profitable. Yours is a business of one--building a specific house for a specific client in a specific location. This is the truest definition of a custom home.
The business of building these homes is risky. The time it takes to plan and construct a luxury home is long and leaves a lot of room for leaks--not of the natural kind but of the dollar variety. The best budget at the beginning of a project can look very different at the end. It is this topic--building a profitable business from the first day and every day forward--that Tom explains. He lives your world day in and day out and has likely made many of the same mistakes. He knows how hard it is to manage the business while managing the client, the subcontractors, the construction and the office. He also knows how critical it is. Neglecting the business puts all the rest in peril.
Our job as a magazine is to gather this information and present it in such a way that our entire industry learns and grows from these examples. Your job is two-fold:
The strength of every magazine is the collective intelligence of its readers. We'll do our part at Luxury Home Builder to collect and share those stories. You do yours as well.

DC And Warner Bros. Strike Back With "Restructuring"
Oh snap! In the wake of the big HUGE Disney buys Marvel news, Warner Bros. has created DC Entertainment, a new division with Diane Nelson (who does all the Harry Potter stuff) serving as DCE president and Paul Levitz, president and publisher of DC Comics, to "return to his roots as a writer for DC and become a contributing editor and overall consultant."
Wow. Is it me or does it sound like he got shafted in the mix? I guess that's how comics rank in the Hollywood of the DC Universe. Sorta like how Superman is incredibly strong, can fly, and turn back time on planet earth but on his home of Krypton was just some dude. Whatevs, alls I know is, I hope they make a Commissioner Gordon movie with Gary Oldman and no Christian Bale because this version of the Batman cowl always makes Bale's face look fat and his "masked" voice sounds like he's choking on oyster crackers.

Crystal Studded Headphones: Love or Leave?
A majority of you were not feeling the bling desk accessories whatsoever, so I'm wondering if you think these Swarovski Fashion Rocks headphones are tacky as well? The difference with
these bedazzled headphones is that they are encrusted with real Amethyst Crystals, making them uber extravagant. When I saw the pink ones on Born Rich, I immediately thought—yowzas! But the purple I can definitely handle. For around $2,404 you can get yourself a pair, which come in a luxury box and small carrier bag. Putting the hefty price aside, are you loving these crystal studded headphones?

Long story short, Reborn is once again being developed by NLS.
Posted by Zeke_Dlyoung on Oct 28th, 2013
Long story short, Reborn is once again being developed by NLS. I don't want to go into details because there are a lot of misunderstandings and even I myself an not 100% sure what happened. All you need to know is that we're working on Reborn again.
First things first, there's going to be some changes on how we're going to work on Reborn. Instead of making a new version from scratch like what we tried to do for V7, we're going to continue TPA's 6.24 patch and release a new full version of Reborn V6, that we're going to call V6 Full. (since the current V6 version released by Nuker is an unfinished beta)
V6 Full will mostly have bug fixes and new models and textures for existing placeholder and broken models, but won't have new units or structures.
New units and structures will be added in the next version V7. We will announce more details about V7 once V6 Full is done.
That's all for now, sorry for the lack of an actual update, and thanks for reading.
good news! :D
I did the 6.24 Patch. Why is it in DenGresh Name?
My bad, it's fixed now :P
I just changed, and what's wrong?
HAHA xD
I'm not sure that an upgrade will start with patch V6.24, from the moment when and how much will be completed full Reborn mod without bugs and glitches...
Back in Black? :D
You could say that :P

Degree of Guilt (1992)
by Richard North Patterson
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This was my first introduction to Richard North Patterson. The novel was in a bag of books that I was given for 'recycling'. I'm so glad that I decided I should glance over the titles before immediately passing them forward. This novel has definitely earned my praise as one of my highest recommendations / examples of legal thrillers. I haven't found as compelling a legal novel since reading Brad Meltzer's "The Tenth Justice" or John Lescroart's "The 13th Juror" and my appreciation of the character Dismas Hardy but Christopher Paget has easily surpassed regard of Dismas Hardy.
On the author's web site various phrases or short comments are excerpted from reviews. A review from People says, "Compulsively readable… A Chinese box of a puzzler, where one mystery is penetrated only to reveal another." An excellent description as you unravel the clues of a mystery and another reveal begins. WoW! I'm off to add RNP's other titles to my "Wish List to Read". Would definitely like to read one (or more) of his titles during a vacation time period so I could simply enjoy the uninterrupted reading time.
loaned to pop
I liked this book because the unravelling of the facts of the case came through questioning and evidence presneted in a pre-trial, and not by the lawyers turning into renegade investigators. The characters, particularly Mary Carelli, were complex, as were the relationships outside of the courtroom.
Attorney who feel s mother of his child ( teen ) is guilty of murder defends her , meny twists but interesting.
I actually haven't read many legal thrillers. The one before this I remember best was Grisham's The Firm and the one I read just before this was Lescroart's Hard Evidence. Patterson has it all over Lescroart, who within a hundred pages showed he knew nothing of the law, completely losing credibility. And credibility is important, whether you're writing about a nuclear submarine or medieval London. Patterson, who worked as a trial attorney and was a liaison to the Watergate special prosecutor, has credibility to burn. As for Grisham. Well, The Firm is about lawyers, Degree of Guilt is more about the law. The Firm immerses you in the seductive lure of a plush rich corporate firm. The law isn't really what it's about. Degree of Guilt is about a murder case--and rape. Not who--we know that from the beginning. But how, why, and what degree of guilt should be assigned Mary Carelli in the killing of Mark Ransom. And in the book the defense lawyer Christopher Paget takes some real risks gaming the legal system that make for a suspenseful page-turning story.
And yes, in some ways it is a trashy book. The kind where every character teases you by reminding you (or being an obvious stand in) for a real life public figure. There's a scandalous tape of Laura Chase (Marilyn Monroe) involving the charismatic Senator Who-Cares-About-Social-Justice James Colt (Jack Kennedy) who died a tragic death. There's the famous starlet turned producer and feminist social activist with a famous father Lindsay Caldwell (Jane Fonda). There's our murder victim Mark Ransom (Norman Mailer), the Pulitzer-Prize winning novelist who is "America's most famous living writer." There's the accused murderer Mary Carelli (Diane Sawyer?) who is a renowned television journalist who interviews the likes of Anwar Sadat and once worked for a Republican administration ridden with scandal. The hero of the novel, Christopher Paget, given he was involved investigating a Watergate-like scandal, seems a stand-in for Patterson himself. This is the trashiest aspect of the book, no question. While the novel is not really a roman a clef, the characters are close enough to real life counterparts for me to feel a bit voyeuristic at times. I was also bothered with how close the characters fell into certain stereotypes. The good characters full of integrity are identifiably liberals; the bad, manipulative "social Darwinist" characters are more than hinted to be Republicans. Also, through Part One--about the first 100 pages--the characters left me cold, cold, cold.
They grew on me though. And one character in particular who started out as despicable did turn out to be more complex that it first appeared, another who appeared cold turn out to have good reasons, and yet another character who I did like from the beginning grew to have more and more of a role. So if you found yourself not liking any of the characters in the first quarter of the book, you might want to hold on a bit longer--things aren't how they first appear.
I also appreciated how the novel handled the matter of rape which figures into the mystery. There are several different rape victims who tell their stories in the book. Unlike in so many cases this comes up in popular fiction, those depictions didn't come across as titillating or exploitative. Maybe because they're told by the victims themselves to another well after what happened, putting some distance between the act and the reader, yet leaving you aching for the person involved. One telling in particular was harrowing to read. And each experience was woven in tightly into the mystery of Mark Ransom's death at the hands of Mary Carelli. Through those experiences Patterson also holds up to scrutiny how we handle cases of rape in America. Not bad for a trashy pop thriller. This is a sequel by the way--there's an earlier Christopher Paget book. But I didn't feel lost because I hadn't read it.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 034538184X, Mass Market Paperback)The core of Richard North Patterson's legal thrillers is characterization, and Degree of Guilt, the novel that relaunched his career in 1993, features two captivating individuals: Christopher Paget and Mary Carelli. Paget, the upstart hero of Patterson's 1979 Edgar-winning The Lasko Tangent, is now a sophisticated trial lawyer doing his best to raise a teenage son in San Francisco. He's a man to be admired: famous for bringing down the president in a financial scandal, he has settled into the comfortable life of a successful attorney. His life is transformed, however, when his former lover (and mother of his son), Mary Carelli, pays a visit.
The novel begins in a San Francisco hotel room as Mary, now an NBC journalist, surveys the torn landscape of author Mark Ransom's apartment. Ransom is, or was, America's most eminent writer. As she tells the police, Ransom had uncovered new recorded evidence of an affair between a long-dead starlet and a now-sainted senator (shades of Marilyn Monroe and JFK). While Ransom and Mary were listening to the tapes, she claims, he tried to rape her and she killed him in self-defense. Mary turns to Paget to defend her in what becomes a complex case of missing and conflicting evidence. Old emotions are stirred between the two just as Paget begins to doubt Mary's innocence.
The suspense of Degree of Guilt is grounded in the twists and turns of the trial at the novel's center, but just as compelling is the emerging history of Mary and Paget, and Paget's struggles to keep his son out of the media frenzy surrounding his mother's case. As well, Patterson addresses the deeper ethical questions that face many lawyers as they decide which cases to take and which evidence to use. Capturing archetypal characters and situations, Degree of Guilt becomes a parable of American law. --Patrick O'Kelley

As the trial of a well-known TV journalist accused of murdering a world-famous novelist unfolds, the defendant's claim to innocence becomes increasingly undermined.

Trelissick Gardens
Trelissick Gardens
Perched at the head of the Fal Estuary, Trelissick Gardens boasts jaw-dropping views and a huge array of plant species. An inspirational garden with varied woodland planting, mixed borders with bright summer and autumn flowers together with exotic perennials.
Quite literally at the water's edge, you can catch the ferry from Truro, Falmouth or the Roseland Peninsula to land at this waterside garden and exotic wonderland. At its heart, the 40-acre garden itself is a year-round display of colourful blooms, noted for its camellias, rhododendrons and a collection of photinia and azaleas.
But its not just the tranquil gardens and tender species that set Trelissick apart from the rest; nestled in no less than 375-acres of parkland and woodland, this is most definitely one of the finest gardens for walkers. Extensive trails meander through the woodland, traverse the parkland and follow the riverside.
On leaving the gardens and crossing the sweeping green parkland towards the Fal Estuary, the staggering views and lush terrain serve-up some of the best walking country on the south coast. Even within the garden's grounds, a little exploration under the canopies of oak, beech and conifers will unveil hidden treasures such as the log summerhouse, a water tower and a footbridge.
Although the house is not open, its grand architecture sits magnificently in its surroundings and you can check out the art and craft gallery if you want to look around indoors. The facilities at Trelissick are fantastic, making it a very family friendly day out in the great outdoors. There's plenty of room to let the kids run wild, and you can lead their imaginations across the globe as you discover foreign trees and shrubs collected on worldwide wanders.
There is also a specialist plant shop, restaurant and café on-site, so you can fill hungry bellies and indulge in some green-gifts for your garden at home. Dogs are allowed in the woodland area only. The garden closes at dusk. Parks and walks open all year every day.

I am with you on this one.. Criterion releases some beautiful discs, beautiful packaging - very sophisticated, beautiful transfers, and very fucking weird movies.. I am in love with independent cinema and I am sorry but a lot of these people are far too weird for their own good.. they go overboard and it doesn't feel profound nor interesting because they are trying far TOO hard to be artsy when it should just come naturally from the material.. a lot of these movies feel very forced to me.
The thign that bothers me is when they call movies that no one's ever heard of "classics". Even if they deserve to be classics, which is often true, I think it's important that a classic (unless it's a cult classic) is well known, which these Samurai films, to my knowledge, are not. More of a pet peeve than something that seriously annoys me, but whatever.

By Randy Schultz
Following his graduation from West Point in 1959, Heisman Trophy winner Pete Dawkins received an invitation to participate in a Detroit Red Wings practice.
Dawkins had played hockey growing up in Michigan and was good enough to make the West Point varsity team. He got the invite through a friend, went to practice, warmed up with the Wings and then played in a scrimmage.
"When I lined up to take the faceoff," Dawkins says. "I looked to my right and Gordie Howe was my right winger."

Career-focused Adults
Financial guidance for maturing adults without children
Maximizing your paycheck in your 30s and 40s is a priority during this time when your income tends to rise. You may have discretionary income for travel and hobbies, and the challenge is to find the right balance between spending and saving. The financial decisions you make now will have the greatest impact on the lifestyle you will enjoy during retirement. Its important to note that people are retiring earlier and living longer, and you may need more money in the future than you think.
Anderson Brothers Bank can help you stay on track with your long term financial goals.
Seeking the best mortgage or consumer loan by shopping, comparing and negotiating may save you thousands of dollars. A mortgagewhether for a home purchase, refinancing or a home equity loanis a product, just like a car, so terms may be negotiable. Youll want to compare all the costs involved in obtaining a mortgage including interest rates, points, fees and down payment and private mortgage insurance requirements. Home equity loans and lines of credit can be helpful when extra cash is needed to reduce significant credit card debtbut be cautious about re-building credit card debt once it is paid.
With competitive rates, experienced lending professionals and local decision-making, youll be sure to find a loan at Anderson Brothers Bank that meets your needs. To apply for a mortgage or consumer loan, stop by and talk with one of our lending officers.
Your financial behavior over the past seven years, including how much credit you have, how long you've had it and whether you pay your bills on time is information included in your credit report. Three credit reporting agencies Equifax, TransUnion and Experian maintain these reports, and lenders buy them to help them decide whether to offer you a prequalification. Your credit report also carries your credit score ranked between 300 and 850 that many lenders use to decide whether you are creditworthy and will repay a loan. Your credit score can also influence the interest rate you pay. In many cases the higher your score, the lower your interest rate. Your credit score is available from the three credit reporting agencies:
Equifax www.equifax.com
TransUnion www.transunion.com
Experian www.experian.com

- Make sure your mortgage payment, including taxes and insurance, represents no more than 41 percent of your gross monthly income.
- Spend less than you earnits the simplest way to stay free from all-consuming debt.

Playing around with
id(). Began with looking at the addresses of identical attributes in non-identical objects. But that doesn't matter now, I guess. Down to the code:
class T(object):
class N(object):
First test (in interactive console):
n = N()
t = T()
# prints 4298619728
# prints 4298619792
No surprise here, actually.
n.__class__ is different than
t.__class__ so it seems obvious they can't possible be the same object. Is the
__class__ the only difference between these objects at this time? Assuming no, as:
>>> n1 = N()
>>> n2 = N()
>>> id(n1) == id(n2)
Or does Python simply create separate objects even if they are exactly the same, content-wise, instead of assigning the names
n2 to, at first, the same object (in memory) and re-assign when either
n1 or
n2 is modified? Why so? I understand this may be a question of convention, optimization, mood, low-level issues (don't spare me) but still, I'm curious.
Now, same classes as before,
N() -- executed one after another in the shell:
>>> id(N())
>>> id(N())
>>> id(N())
>>> id(N())
Why the juggling?
But here comes the weird part. Again, same classes, shell:
>>> id(N()), id(T())
(4298619728, 4298619728)
>>> id(N()), id(T())
(4298619728, 4298619728)
>>> id(N()), id(T())
(4298619728, 4298619728)
Not only the juggling stops, but N() and T() appear to be the same object. Since they cannot be, I understand this as whatever
N() returns being destroyed after the
id() call, before the end of the whole statement.
I realize this may be a tough one to answer. But I'm hoping someone could tell me what I'm observing here, whether my understanding is correct, share some dark magic about the inner workings and memory management of the interpreter or perhaps point to some good resources on this subject?
Thanks for your time on this one.

Survivor 2015 Worlds Apart Power Rankings Week 11
Survivor 2015 continues to be all over the place, and therefore, so do the Survivor Worlds Apart Power Rankings. Last week Shirin's luck finally ran out, so now it's time to see where everyone left in the game falls.
Survivor 2015 Power Rankings For Week 11
1. Mike. I'm boosting Mike back to the top tonight because he had back-to-back immunity challenge wins and that hidden idol trick he pulled at Tribal Council was smart and almost worked. It's proof that he's one of the better players from the season, even if he's going home the second he doesn't have immunity.
2. Carolyn. Also winning immunity was Carolyn. And she's still got her idol tucked away as well. She steals the No. 2 spot though because she knew that Mike was bluffing and stuck with her vote for Shirin. She's definitely one of the smarter players in the game.
3. Rodney. Even though Rodney falls to the No. 3 spot, I think he might be in one of the best positions in the game. By the time he becomes the main target, they will be at the end of the game. So unless something plays out weird, I think Rodney is good.
Who Is Left On Survivor 2015: Worlds Apart – Week 11
Things are getting tight on Survivor 2015 as we're down to just seven castaways left on Worlds Apart and only one underdog against the large alliance.
Shirin Oskooi was sent off to Ponderosa this week leaving Mike as the last player between the power alliance and their plan to make it to the final six. Unfortunately for them they won't make it while he's got that Immunity Idol in his pocket.
So who will be the odd man out from the alliance of six? We'll get to see if this is finally the time for Dan to put his special vote to use. Can Tyler smirk his way out of this one or would they go for a bigger target? We'll find out on Wednesday's Survivor episode.
Check out who is left and guess who could be this season's Sole Survivor from Worlds Apart.
Merged Tribe – Merica:
- Carolyn Rivera
- Dan Foley
- Mike Holloway
- Rodney Lavoie
- Sierra Thomas
- Tyler Fredrickson
- Will Sims
Shirin Oskooi– voted off last week
Who do you hope is the next to go on this week's Tribal vote?
Survivor 2015: Shirin Oskooi Arrives At Ponderosa
Shirin Oskooi was voted off Survivor 2015 this week when a valiant effort by Mike Holloway managed to only disrupt the power alliance instead of keeping them both in the game.
Now at Ponderosa Shirin focuses on her conflict with Will and its deep roots in her childhood. It's an emotional backstory but definitely gets heavy for Survivor. Luckily Jenn is there to break it up with some joking about Shirin's heavy handed demands at their resort life.
Check out the pictures from Shirin's arrival at Ponderosa including some beautiful scenery at their break from the game as the Jury prepares for its upcoming role of deciding who will win the million dollar prize.
Survivor 2015: Episode 11 Gallery: Double Immunity & Tribal Fireworks
What a tense Survivor 2015 episode this week as the pressure mounts on the underdogs as the numbers continue to shift against them. Despite their disadvantage things were kept interesting at the Tribal Council and it looks like that could make things fun to watch next week.
Scroll through the gallery of pics from last night's Survivor Worlds Apart for a look back at this week's episode.

Survivor 2015 Worlds Apart: Shirin Oskooi 'Day After' Interview
Despite annoying everyone, Shirin Oskooi outlasted many of her fellow Survivor 2015 castaways. For a minute it even looked like she might be carried to the end. But her luck ran out this week when she was eliminated from Survivor Worlds Apart.
Following her elimination, Shirin stopped by for her exit interview, where she owned up to all of her missteps, but kept us hanging on whether or not she actually had fun or would play again if given the opportunity.
"I think I was often on the bottom," she said of her game. "I never let it get me down. I always had a positive outlook. I never took the easy route."
As a fan of the show, Shirin knows what she did wrong in the game, but she also knows what she did right, and she's proud of that.
"I thought I was pretty good at identifying secret alliances — I had the axis of evil pegged — even though I could do nothing about it," she said. I played to win. I didn't do it successfully, but I took risks. I'm happy with that."

As of this post, here are the films that are currently showing (at least one of these has been featured here).

Eleven Miles to Paradise Trail Run
Sunday, May 15th, 2016
Registration will open for 2016 at 8 AM on February 16th.
This 10.6 mile race runs through Lolo National Forest along a scenic & rolling single-track trail that parallels the mighty Clark Fork River outside Paradise, MT. Nutritional supplements from Hammer Nutrition will be provided at our halfway aid station and at the finish line. Each participant will receive a stylish 11 Miles to Paradise T-shirt, bus shuttle to race start, chip timing, snacks at the finish line and an option for post race massage!
Course Description: The course begins as an old two track forest service road for one mile before narrowing down into single-track for the remainder of the course. The trail weaves and rolls through the forest next to the Clark Fork river while contouring along small drainages and hillsides. Although the race does follow down river, and therefore will have a net elevation loss, there are some short climbs along the way! The race ends at the Ferry Landing Fishing access site along State Route 135 only a few miles from Quinn's Hot Springs. Take advantage of the COLD waters of the Clark Fork to ice the legs before heading on the shuttle back to Quinn's.
Aid Station: There is one aid station along the course. It is at the halfway point and will be stocked with goodies from Hammer Nutrition. There will be gels, an electrolyte drink (Hammer Fizz), water and some snacks.
Course Map: Click Here
- Registration will open on February 16th at 8AM
- There will be no refunds, transfers or deferrals for this event. Also we will not manage a wait list once the event is full.
- This race is capped at 450 participants!
Base Registration Fee:
- $45 from 2/16-4/23
- $50 from 4/26-5/15
- $55 Race day registration if we have not reached our cap of 450 runners.
The base race fee covers:
- T-Shirt: A stylish 2016 11 Miles to Paradise Run T-shirt.
- Shuttle: A shuttle to the race start from Quinn's Hot Springs and a shuttle from the race finish back to Quinn's Hot Springs.
- Hammer Goodies: Hammer Nutrition products for fueling at our halfway Aid Station
- Homemade cookies and snacks at the finish line.
- Chip Timing: Our event will be timed by Competitive Timing this year.
- Post race massage: The great team at Sapphire Physical Therapy will be providing two treatment tables for post-race massage and injury prevention consultation for all who are interested.
Additional Options:
- Shuttle from Missoula to the race and back. (NEW THIS YEAR!) ($12): This year we are offering an optional bus ride directly from Missoula to the race start and then from Quinn's Hot Springs back to Missoula! This will save on any parking issues, allow you to sleep in a bit more on race morning, take away from the stress of driving and allow you to relax and enjoy the entire day with friends! And it's only $12 a person!
Shuttle Details:
The bus will leave from in front of the Runner's Edge on race morning at 7AM. From there it will be a 1 Hour and 20 Minute drive directly to the race start. There will be no stops along the way, but there will be porta potties and water at the race start when you arrive. We will shuttle your gear from the race start, to the race finish for you. From the race finish, we will shuttle you to Quinn's Hot Springs for the post race festivities and awards. The shuttles will leave from Quinn's to Missoula at 2:00 PM. IF YOU PLAN TO PURCHASE A TICKET TO RIDE THE BUS FROM MISSOULA YOU MUST PICK UP YOUR RACE PACKET AT THE RUNNER'S EDGE ON SATURDAY MAY 16TH BETWEEN 10AM-5PM. This will save on any early morning stress or registration issues which may arise. Lastly, if you believe the race will take over 4 hrs for you to complete, you will not have much time at Quinn's before needing to load the bus to return for Missoula. We took this into consideration, however, the departure time of 2PM from Quinn's makes the most sense for a majority of the participants. Thanks for understanding.
- Quinn's Lunch and Hot Springs Pool Pass ($12): Normally valued at $22 per person, we are offering up a post race lunch and hot springs pool pass for just $12 for our race participants! When registering, you will have your choice of cheese burger, pulled pork sandwich, curried chicken sandwich or vegetarian wrap with your choice of a side and one drink (ice-tea, lemonade, or water) If you, or your friends and family want a lunch or pool pass on race day you will also have the option to buy those in advance at the normal price of $10 for a meal or $12 for a pool pass.
Wave Starts:
We will have 3 wave starts separated by 5 minute offsets. This will minimize resource damage, congestion on the trail and make for a better experience for all. You will have the option to choose 'Wave 1′, 'Wave 2′ or 'Wave 3′ while registering online. Suggested waves based on predicted finishing times. Feel free to reference past results to see where you stack up:
- Wave 1: Estimated time of 1hr. 40 min. or under
- Wave 2: Estimated time of 1hr. 40. min to 2 hrs.
- Wave 3: Estimated time of more than 2hrs.
Packet Pick-Up:
- We will have packet pick up downstairs in the Runner's Edge from 10 AM-5 PM on Saturday May 16th. (All participants signed up for the shuttle directly from Missoula to the race start must pick up their race packet on Saturday at the Runner's Edge to alleviate any registration issues before race day.)
- We will also have packet pick up at Quinn's hot springs from 7-7:50 am the morning of the race before loading the busses by 8AM.
- 7:00-7:50 Packet Pick Up & Check-In at Quinn's Hot Springs.
- 7:50-8:00 Runners load busses; shuttled to race start. All participants must go to Quinn's in order to be shuttled to the start line. The road to the race start is narrow and there is not much room for traffic. The Forest Service has been clear they do not want people driving to and parking at the start line. Since they are the organization generous enough to allow us to put this event on their land, we plan to honor their request. Thank you!
- 9:00 Race Start
- 10-12:00 Runners finish the race and are shuttled every 20 minutes back to Quinn's from the Finish Line
- 11:15-12:15 Runners arrive back at Quinn's and have lunch
- 11:00-2:00 Runners soaking hours at Quinn's Hot Springs (New this year! We will be partnering with Quinn's to have a Bloody Mary and Caesar bar out by the pool with some fun ingredients!)
- 12:45'ish Awards Ceremony with unique awards made by a local artist and wood maker Merrill Bradshaw (Overall Winner for Men & Women both receive a free night's stay at Quinn's Hot Springs or Jackson Hot Springs – good for one year.

Abdullah, Muhammad Madi and Uli, Jegak and Ismail, Azman (2009) Training and education program as a major determinant of quality improvement in Malaysian electrical and electronics industry. International Journal of Business and Management Science, 1 (2). pp. 205-219. ISSN 1985-692X
Full text not available from this repository.
Organizations that are committed to quality improvement invest heavily in training and education (T&Ed) program of their employees. T&Ed program is therefore becomes an important aspect in the human resource management. The aim of the paper is to examine the influence of training and education program on quality improvement in 255 Electrical and Electronics (E&E) firms in Malaysia. The findings reveal that quality improvement in the Malaysian electrical and electronics industries are significantly influenced by training and education.

The two Ed's in charge of Labour policy is going to be wonderful to watch. David would be best to defect to the Libservatives.
A little prediction..... if Mili-twerp the younger gets the 'Crown' he will be the shortest serving Labour leader since Foot.
Ed has the killer instinct, David doesn't. That is a key, key lesson of this campaign for Labour, and it's why i think they'll have made the right choice if they plump for Ed.
Ed a killer instinct? Example?
All I see is someone telling the labour party what it wants to hear. Killer or coward?

My family and I want to express our great gratitude to everyone associated with the Survivor Voices Concert: Chorus participants, Dr. Michael and Laura Williamson, Muncie Civic Theatre, Cancer Services of East Central Indiana-Little Red Door, and to each person who supported these wonderful people.
It was an uplifting and heartwarming event. The singers and director radiated energy, optimism and enthusiasm, and the audience joined right in. Thank you for asking survivors in the audience to stand. Three members of our family have battled cancer, and we know the time, energy and dedication that is needed for the battle.
Cancer treatment and recovery can be lonely and tiresome. Sometimes you almost feel a stigma because it is not easy to talk about cancer. This concert accented the importance of family, medical and community support. Thank you for honoring those who fought a great battle, who have experienced the greatest healing, and who are now cheering us on from a better place.
We commend you for your project to create and develop the Survivors Voices Chorus, and we wish you great success. May East Central Indiana realize the great asset of your group and encourage others to sing and to attend the concerts.
Have you considered walking off the stage singing, moving to the lobby where we could greet and thank you? There were two voices who made a great difference in my recovery, but I have never been able to tell them how important they were to me.

The studio is eager to distance itself from Card's expressed views in time for the movie's premiere.
The November 1 premiere of Lionsgate's Enders Game is fast approaching, but with the recent scandal over author Orson Scott Card's anti-gay views, the studio is in a bit of a panic to distance itself. Card will not be present at the company's Ender's Game panel at Comic-Con, to be held on July 18th at Hall H. It is unknown whether this move was intended as damage control, but Card is certainly a notable figure in the sci-fi world, so his absence is very conspicuous. Keeping the author out of the public eye isn't having as much of an effect as Summit intended, however.
Harrison Ford, on the other hand, will most definitely be present at the panel.
Despite the book having been out for more than three decades and Card's views being known for a similarly long time, the movie's upcoming release has prompted a strong backlash and the advent of the Geeks OUT petition to "Boycott Ender's Game" Summit have responded with a statement of their own, Deadline reports. The company is calling potential boycotters to keep in mind everyone else, who worked on the movie and calls to attention their history of open support for the LGBT community.
Watch the Ender's Game trailer below.
"As proud longtime supporters of the LGBT community, champions of films ranging from Gods and Monsters to The Perks of Being a Wallflower and a company that is proud to have recognized same-sex unions and domestic partnerships within its employee benefits policies for many years, we obviously do not agree with the personal views of Orson Scott Card and those of the National Organization for Marriage," the statement reads.
So will Asa Butterfield (pictured), Hailee Steinfeld and Abigail Breslin.

Last month, One Direction announced they will begin an extended hiatus "at some point next year," which came as a shock to 1D fans across the globe. As upset as the band's millions of fans were to hear this, they knew there was a silver lining to all of this; One Direction was to release a new album before they begin their hiatus. Well now, new details about the upcoming album have emerged.
With the specifics coming via a 15-second video uploaded to the group's Twitter account, it is now known the album will be titled Made In the A.M. Currently available for pre-order, barring any setbacks, the album will be released on November 13 of this year.
The guys have an exciting announcement for you...

Last week, the wildly popular boy band, One Direction announced they will begin an extended hiatus next March after the release of their fifth studio album. Although this is only rumored to be a "hiatus," everyone (who cares about the band) is left to speculate if the four will ever reconcile. The hiatus, which will last for at least a year will give the group's remaining members some rest and will allow them to work on their solo careers. The break also means there will be no tour in support of their upcoming album, so you better see them in concert while you have the chance!

If you've been eagerly awaiting to hear something new from One Direction, you're in luck: the band today announced their On the Road Again Tour dates for 2015.
The boys will launch their new tour in July 2015 in San Diego, CA, then visit states across the country before concluding in Boston, MA, in September 2015. But let's be real: with a new album on the way, more dates are probably on the horizon.

It's kind of a big week for One Direction: this morning, they announced a new album and a new single for their throngs of fans. 1D's fourth album — appropriately titled "Four" — will be out Nov. 17, while their single is currently available for free on their official website for the next 24 hours. Co-written by Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne, "Fireproof" is a soft pop song reminiscent of their recent tracks "You & I" and "Story of My Life." Listen here:

OTA Update 6/8
From the Truman Sports Complex
The Chiefs offensive struggles in throwing the ball during the weekend mini-camp definitely got the attention of head coach Todd Haley. As the team went through its OTA session on Monday morning, there was extra time given to the passing game.
During individual position drills, Haley spent the time right in the middle of the wide receivers. Remember Haley's background as an assistant coach was working with the wide receivers. During the practice, he saved his sharpest retorts for the guys catching the ball, and especially those dropping the ball.
"We need work, we definitely need work, to improve our execution of just the basic pass game," said Haley. "We are having a hard time in some simplier areas. We are making plays, it's just that the execution has to pick up. "
There were 81 of the 85 roster players on the field for the OTA. Missing were LB Brian Waters and OLB Mike Vrabel, thus keeping intact their string of not taking part in anything this off-season that hasn't been mandatory. Also missing was the recently married TE Tony Curtis and rookie CB Donald Washington who is expected later this week once classes are over at Ohio State.
Here are some observations from the workout, which was held in very cool and windy conditions as the weather made a complete change from the hot, steamy weekend:
– The rehab crew remained the same as it has been for all these sessions: QB Brodie Croyle, RB Kolby Smith, DE Glenn Dorsey and DT Ron Edwards.
– Along the defensive line, the guy who is leading that group right now is veteran DE Alfonso Boone. During a team passing segment of practice he broke up a screen pass from QB Tyler Thigpen to RB Dantrell Savage in the backfield.
– Matt Cassel got the most work and he was 15 of 18 in the portions of practice where he threw against a defense. He did have one picked off as ILB Derrick Johnson jumped an inside route by TE Brad Cottam and made the interception for what would likely have been a pick six. It was hard to tell if it was a great play by D.J. or a bad route by Cottam.
– Thigpen was six of 11 in the work against a defense. He also threw an interception, as S Jon McGraw grabbed a pass that bounced off RB Jackie Battle.
– Ingle Martin was six of 11 and had one of the prettiest offensive plays of the day, when he hit a deep running Cottam in stride for a play that would have gone for 25 to 30 yards. Cottam beat CB Londen Fryar on the play and S Ricky Price didn't get over in time to break up the throw.Â
– The Chiefs had their quarterbacks on the move in this workout, as both Cassel and Thigpen had multiple throws on short bootlegs to the left and right. Thigpen and WR Rodney Wright combined on a nice throw and catchÂ
– OLB Tamba Hali read a running play in the teamwork portion of practice and almost grabbed the handoff from Cassel to Battle. It was one of the better defensive plays of the off-season.
– WR C.J. Jones was wide open and Martin threw a nice pass, that was juggled and then dropped. Jones can't afford to drop those kind of passes.
– In teamwork, RB Larry Johnson had a nice run off right guard, hitting the hole quickly and accelerating to the second level of the defense.
– Defensively, McGraw, S DaJuan Morgan and rookie LB Jovan Belcher all knocked down passes in coverage.

"He did have one picked off…"
I do believe that's at least three that have been mentioned recently…
June 8, 2009 - alex k says:
as always, amazing updates.
One thing ive noticed, is Haley rarely calls out players in a good or bad way, but one guy he did mention was belcher was a special teams guy, nice to see him making plays.
Love that Haley is holding recievers accountable, This coach gets better every day, love his approach
June 8, 2009 - aPauled says:
…and read on "It was hard to tell if it was a great play by D.J. or a bad route by Cottam." Obviosly BG didn't find fault in Cassel's pass which appears to be the objective of the comment.
"The Chiefs had their quarterbacks on the move in this workout…" With the O-Line that we currently have, this will probably be the norm again this season. If Waters gets back on board we are still weak at 2 of 5 positions (C and RT). Without Waters, we are really in trouble offensively.
June 8, 2009 - chiefsfan101 says:
I know it would probably make the team worse but i really would like to get rid of waters. He just seems to be somewhat of a cancer at this point. everyone is buying in and yet he is too good to try an approach that is different from the ways the chiefs have been trying it for a while. which, mind you, is a losing way.
June 8, 2009 - gorillafan says:
I agree with you 101.
ONE person is not going to make or break this team. If he continues his negativity, Ship him out the door.
Like you sead, everyone else is buying in, I like it, dont let one man bring you down
June 8, 2009 - gochiefsxxx says:
so should we get rid of Vrabel too he is not showing up either? and it will hurt if we loose Waters. As Gretz wrote in another artical rookie Megee was getting by Waters backup then when waters get in Waters shut him down.
June 8, 2009 - gorillafan says:
TRUE, but if he dont want to be there Haley wont let him stay anyway.
June 8, 2009 - alex k says:
ok, the vrabel waters argument is STUPId, Vrabel is not showing for one reason, hes a REP, hes using his rights just like all other reps
Waters on the other hand, skipped a charity function, dont give me that "i didnt get the list", dont tell me those other 30 players who werent chairs of the board that did show just arent close to waters? and if so, then, that speaks volumes.
Vrabel doesnt show for union reasons, waters is overweight, and disgruntled.
June 8, 2009 - alex k says:
further more, the argument that magee didnt do well vs waters doesnt dispel the concept that waters is out of shape, mentally out of a state that you want your OG in, and honestly, the guy flat out did not have a good season pro bowl or not, the tape speaks volumes.
oh and magee is at a new position, whereas waters is a 13 year vet, advantage waters at the first Manditory OTA
June 8, 2009 - arrowhead1978 says:
Advantage Waters at the second and third and fourth… Waters is the Chiefs player representative. You don't think that Vrabel and Waters are in cahoots with the rest of the NFLPA on what they need to do?? I read somewhere also that said Vrabel has stated that he didn't sign on to play in KC, he was traded and that there is a big difference between being a FA and being traded. Doesn't sound like a leader that wants to be in KC!!!
June 8, 2009 - gochiefsxxx says:
alex k says:
ok, the vrabel waters argument is STUPId, Vrabel is not showing for one reason, hes a REP, hes using his rights just like all other reps
Vrabel isn't a union rep anymore the Chiefs union rep is Waters. Vrabel was NE union rep he is not on that team anymore. So your argument is for Waters skipping not Verbel.
June 8, 2009 - gochiefsxxx says:
And also Alex on the Magee thing as you said Waters came in out of shape and he still took care of the rookie but that same rookie was able to get by the back-up for waters, that just tells you we need Waters. I think both Waters and Vrabel are wrong they should be here for the team. I don't care if they are traded or have a problem with the coach they are paid a lot of money to help this team and skipping training when it's a new system and new coach is not helping.
June 8, 2009 - aPauled says:
"Vrabel isn't a union rep anymore"
True…technically. Vrabel is still on the NFLPA executive committee in addition to be being the former Pat's player rep. He is a core part on the players union as a part of the Executive Team.
June 8, 2009 - KCZAR says:
We need Waters, but if we can get a third round pick for him next year, lets do it… Hopefully Waters sheds some pounds and is in better shape for next Mandatory practices.
Veterans know the score, they will be cut the second they are no longer as useful as their contract indicates. I don't care one bit if Vrabel or Waters doesn't want to come to voluntary OTA's.
June 8, 2009 - Merwin says:
Sounds to me like Vrabel and Waters just don't want to be with the Chiefs. It's one thing to be a veteran on a experienced team that's been together for years like Vrabel was with the Pats. And like Waters was when Vermiel was here. Now that they are both learning a new system as well as Vrabel is with a new team, they should be putting in all the work they can with their team mates. That will be the only way that they will learn all the habits of the guy playing beside them. Their tendencies and and the way they block, pull on running plays, rush the passers, drop back in pass protection, etc. Seems like they just need to be spending time with their team mates as much as possible.
June 8, 2009 - Kevin B says:
I could care less that Waters has a bad attitude. I am tired of paying for direct tv and watching my team lose. Waters, even if he is grouchy and bad for team chemistry, is the best we have. Keep him and let him earn his check.. He isn't being obnoxioius about not wanting to be here, he is just not lying. I am not always happy in my job but I stay because I want to get paid. Waters needs to stay so we can finally WIN. It would be different if he was bashing the organization. I would probably want out to be with a winning team. Lets get some wins and his attitude will change
June 9, 2009 - Jdawg says:
Yes, the best we HAD, on a 2 win team. Sorry, but if you watch his tape from last year, Waters dropped off in play, and team chemistry is VERY important, to no show the charity event, when EVERY other O-lineman showed, tells you many things…So Waters has no relationships with O-lineman on our team evidently since no one called him about the "list", on top of that, chemistry on the line is huge, the rest of them are gelling, and waters isnt that much of an upgrade at this point in his career over wade smith
People need to realize his feelings are hurt from a situation where the chiefs were busy on the cassel deal, and waters is his own agent, that can create issues, they didnt want to talk at that time, get over it brian.
June 9, 2009 - SG says:
"…and waters isnt that much of an upgrade at this point in his career over wade smith."
To quote Jim Carrey from Ace Ventura…"Reee-heee-heeee-heaallllly!" I'd like to see how many people agree with you on that assertion.
June 9, 2009 - Rin Tin Tin says:
C'mon SG … you know darn well we've enough any 22s around here to get the job done & then some. Brian Waters? Hah! We don't need no stinking All Pro offensive lineman!
Too, forget last years find Branden Albert: he's also not any 22 enough to fit 'check's profile – no, we don't need or want him either. He's young and Brian is older but that's no excuse: Branden too will grow old soon enough.
We have vets aplenty, guys named Goff, McIntosh, Smith, Ghiaciuc and Niswanger – the Washington Redskins had 'The Hogs' and Buffalo's Bills had 'The Electric Company'; and Kaycee? Why we have 'Five Characters In Search of an Exit'.
As Rod Serling described them in that Twilight Zone episode's opening narration:
Clown. Hobo. Ballet Dancer. Bagpiper. Army Major. A collection of question marks. Five improbable entities stuck together into a pit of darkness. No logic, no reason, no explanation … just a prolonged nightmare in which fear, loneliness & the unexplainable walk hand in hand through the shadows.
In a moment, we'll start collecting clues as to the whys, the whats and the wheres. We will not end the nightmare we'll only explain it because
(cue Rin Tin Tin) "this is the Chiefs offensive line."
June 10, 2009 - SG says:
"Brian Waters? Hah! We don't need no stinking All Pro offensive lineman!"
ROFL…much more entertaining stuff – up to the level we expect there Rin.
