|More honors for Iupati
University of Idaho graduate Mike Iupati, a starting guard for San Francisco since being drafted by the 49ers in the first round of the 2010 draft, added Associated Press All-Pro honors to his continually growing list of accolades.
The Associated Press team was announced the same day as the 49ers upended Green Bay to advance to the NFC Championship game. Earlier in the week, it was announced that Iupati was the leading vote-getter among offensive guards in the fan poll for the NFL's Pro Bowl. He also was the leader among guards in the AP balloting.

I need to automate a way to distribute files to many servers. The problem of course is I need to use a secure protocol (SSH or SCP) and the username / password on each server is different.
The scenario is we have a master server a, with user a_prod and we need to send updated scripts / configs, etc. to servers b, c, d, ... and on these servers the usernames are say b_dev, c_test, d_prod with each having unique passwords.
The usernames need to be unique across environments for a few reasons, dealing with DB2 and corporate security.
Shared keys will not work in this scenario, so I need to pass the usernames and passwords via a script. It is an AIX environment, and I do not have the ability to install expect.
Any ideas?
Shared keys are mentioned in multiple responses below: I have tried a few ways to do this, I think the main issue is the remote user ID's do not exist on any other host, so I can not do an ssh-keygen for them on the host I want to ssh from to do a shared key implementation with the main user (a_prod) having multiple identities depending upon the target host (b_dev, c_test_d_prod). The private key for these users needs to be generated on host a for the remote users, and then their public keys need to be copied to the target hosts.

Code green: (may be) coming to you in 2012
By Jim Schneider, LEED AP
For several years, those who design and construct buildings have been working with numerous sustainable rating systems, energy efficiency standards, and competing claims of "green" products and systems. The overall approach to building has changed worldwide and continues to evolve. As we get better at building efficient, sustainable structures, the next phase is to move green practices from optional rating systems to codified standards and requirements.
The International Green Construction Code (IgCC) intends to be the first step in a direction that would solidify best practices as standard practices. Originated by the Washington, D.C.-based International Code Council (ICC) in collaboration with numerous organizations, including the Washington-based U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), Washington-based American Institute of Architects (AIA), West Conshohocken, Pa.-based ASTM International, and Atlanta-based American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers Inc. (ASHRAE), the proposed code represents many things to many people.
To some it's a series of benchmarks that will encourage improvements in efficiency and technique and drive a sustainable construction revolution. Others fear it could become an onerous set of regulations that will make construction tougher and more expensive.
As often is the case, reality likely will not match either extreme as the code seeks to occupy the space between.
Development of the code began in 2009. With numerous competing sustainability certification programs in the market, the idea was to create consistency and to approach green building using prescriptive, rather than aspirational, language.
"Other systems and standards didn't appear to be well-coordinated with the language used in the I-Codes," says ICC Senior Staff Architect Allan Bilka, referring to the organization's family of building and maintenance codes (see list at right). "That makes them difficult for members to enforce and apply.
When published in March 2012, the International Green Construction Code (IgCC) will become the 14th official member of the International Code Council's family:
"Code officials and inspectors already are in the field and familiar with construction documents. Once they're familiar with green requirements — if they're well-written and coordinated with the requirements of the I-Codes — it should be much more effective to review plans and do inspections. Coordinating with other I-Codes reduces some of the administrative costs involved with green building."
The council's goal is to create a standard framework for designing, building, and operating sustainable structures. Instead of a rating system, the code establishes higher performance and material thresholds and incorporates the concept of project electives to offer incentives for owners and designers to exceed the minimum environmental and energy requirements.
"The only way to affect widespread change is through mandatory requirements," Bilka says. "You can create iconic examples of green building, but those may not be within the economic reach of every owner.
"If we raise the floor without being excessive, we can bring about real change. The trick is having something that's usable and adaptable by jurisdictions. The code has some flexibility that other documents don't have. It's much more customizable because green isn't a one-size-fits-all strategy."
Like any proposed model code, this one must undergo a series of drafts, public comment periods, and hearings to gather input, suggestions, and concerns.
Public Version 1 was released in March 2010, with hearings that year in June and August. Public Version 2 was posted in November 2010 and a public hearing was held this May. Further comments were accepted until Aug. 12. Final action hearings are scheduled for Oct. 31 through Nov. 6 in Phoenix.
The completed model code is expected to be published in March 2012.
Something as broad and potentially controversial as green building was bound to generate feedback from parties ranging from manufacturers and trade associations to architects, contractors, and building officials. Based on their comments, notable changes were made between Public Versions 1 and 2; still more changes will come after the recently completed comment period. The May hearing alone dealt with 1,400 change proposals.
As at least one metal-industry company discovered, getting involved in the development process pays dividends.
"We expressed concern over the definition of regional content," says Bob Zabcik, technical director with NCI Group Inc., a Houston-based manufacturer of coil-coating solutions, components, and custom building systems for the non-residential construction market. Version 1 required manufacturing and natural resource extraction to occur within 500 miles of a project. This is very prohibitive for the metal industry because iron ore is extracted only in certain places and recycled material can be difficult to trace.
"The wording in Version 2 states that either the manufacturing or extraction process has to happen within 500 miles, but not necessarily both," Zabcik says. "The metal industry does a good job of manufacturing components within 500 miles."
Like USGBC's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, IgCC requirements are broken down into sections covering different aspects of design, construction, and operation:
The model code also contains two additional elements.
Jurisdictional requirements are strategies that make sense in one area and not another.
For example, a metropolitan area could decide to add a jurisdictional requirement that buildings be constructed close to public transit, while a more rural area wouldn't because there's no public transit in the area.
Project electives are more ambitious and wouldn't be appropriate as mandatory requirements.
For example, a project may receive a point for building on a brownfield site. It wouldn't make sense to require all buildings to be built on brownfields; but because remediating polluted land and bringing it back to positive use should be encouraged, an elective credit is designed to provide incentive.
A common question is how the model code will impact or possibly compete with certification programs like LEED or Green Globes from the Jessup, Md.-based Green Building Institute (GBI). In fact, such organizations have been actively involved in IgCC's development.
"One might think USGBC would feel threatened by this kind of activity, but the opposite is true," the ICC's Bilka says. "They're fully in support and see it as a push/pull arrangement: USGBC tries to keep ahead of the codes; when the codes start to catch up and even surpass some of the requirements in LEED for various criteria, the next edition of LEED will take another leap forward."

Have you ever seen a performance where a piece of choreography literally gives you the chills because it's so moving and powerful? There are a few great pieces of choreography that I have seen in the last few years that have done just that; Jo Stromgren's Kraak, Susan Marshall's Cloudless, Glen Tetley's Mythical Hunters immediately come to mind.
One of these works that I watched as part of Repertory Dance Theatre's Elements performance is Eric Handman's Ghost Ship. This piece left me absolutely breathless. The dancers' movements are fast and flowing, the music haunting.
Excerpt of Eric Handman's Ghost Ship performed by RDT
This weekend you have the opportunity to not only see this piece but also works of local choreographers Satu Hummasti, Nicholas Cendese and Natosha Washington, as well as Susan McLain. Repertory Dance Theatre's PASSAGE interprets ideas of relationships, memories and history through dance, singing, speech and 120 pounds of falling rice.
RDT performs Satu Hummasti's Songs I Wanna Sing (to you)
Three of the four pieces of PASSAGE were commissioned for RDT including Susan McLain's Karyo (1996), Satu Hummasti's Songs I Wanna Sing (to you) (2010), and most recently, Nicholas Cendese & Natosha Washington's What You Leave Behind (2012).
RDT Dancer Sarah Donohue, Photographer Chrisopher Peddecord
The creation of the world premier of Nicholas Cendese & Natosha Washington's What you leave behind has been documented through a LIVE blog. Click here to see their process, videos and how their ideas grew into movement.
The Leona Wagner Black Box Theatre is a very intimate, smaller theater. If you are sitting in the front rows, you feel so close to the dancers that it is almost like you are sharing the stage and the space with them.
It is the perfect way to see this amazing choreography.
RDT will dedicate this show to an esteemed and valued friend, Susan McLain who tragically passed away on August 5, 2011.
RDT dancers Christopher Peddecord, Rosy Goodman in Eric Handman's Ghost Ship
Repertory Dance Theatre presents Passage March 22–24 at 7:30 p.m (a Saturday matinee will be held at 2 p.m.)
See it at the Leona Wagner Black Box Theatre at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center, 138 W. Broadway, SLC. Tickets are available through arttix.org or by calling 801-355-ARTS. On Thursday night all tickets only $15
If you want to actually dance instead of just watching it—RDT is having an open house for their Community Dance School on Saturday, March 24 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is in the West Studio at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center.
Open House participants can participate in any or all of the Community School's classes during the day for $10 all day (no advance registration required), or free with the purchase of a ten-class punch card. 10 class punch card at the Open House are also discounted to $90.

By Mawuse Ziegbe
Last month, The Natural History Museum hosted a gang of Chicago-bred, genre-blending upstarts from the Fools Gold label. It was a Flavorpill production that turned the site of numerous ennui-inducing school field trips, into an electro-hop playground. Hip hop tag team The Cool Kids, known for their musical-head-nod-to-the-old-school single, "Gold And A Pager," busted on stage with their reliable bag of rowdy tricks. Then Kid Sister, in a shimmery disco-flapper ensemble, doused the crowd with super sass, performing body-rockin' numbers like "Let Me Bang." But the skinny jeans really hit the fan when Kanye West hit the stage with a surprise performance and dropped his verse from Kid Sister's single, "Pro Nails." Mr. West then put on a mini-concert with tracks from his latest album including "Good Life" and "Stronger." The party made a few headlines which mostly gushed about Kanye's impromptu performance. But the real story is the hip, young artists who made the party possible. Kid Sister and The Cool Kids have the swagger to pack hundreds into a sprawling planetarium on the upper west side and are tossing out online releases met with bubbling critical buzz. Even with delighted critics and rapturous fans, including Grammy-winning rappers, some kids, through no fault of their own aren't going to hit big. So, instead of list of artists who will hit big in the '08, I've compiled a list of kids who should get gobbled up by the masses but are simply too cool for mainstream consumption (Also, while reading these predictions, please take note of the tongue in my cheek).
Photo of Santogold © Mel D. Cole.
Santogold, the dub/rock/electro project fronted by A&R turned rock-star Santi White, has been popping up on "Next Big Thing" lists from the BBC to Rolling Stone to The Fader. She's showstoppingly adorable. She sits comfortably at the popular kids table, collaborating with artists like M.I.A., Mark Ronson and Spank Rock. And it doesn't hurt that she's wicked talented. She had a hand in the production of singer Res' debut album 2001 How I Do. Her latest music is laced with the same dubby, wafty tones and rockin' urgency as the Res' project. Producer Switch is helming her full-length.
Why She Might Go Bust:
Her esoteric lyrics and genre-averse sound might make it hard to brand her for the Wal-Mart crowd.
Why She Might Go Big:
Homegirl's music is downright loveable! Angsty but with the most feathery vocals. Refreshing combo and with the proper co-signs by her friends in fly places (M.I.A. Mark, et al), she could be a contender.
Kid Sister
The aforementioned Kid Sister is bringing back sass in a big way. Her style is reminiscent of legendary b-girls Salt-N-Pepa and she counts '90s girl groups like Xscape and Total amongst her influences. On wax, her delivery is punchy and her rhymes are real – she goes off on everything from horny guys ("Telephone") to hooked-up nails ("Pro-Nails"). While she definitely bring the girl powah, what really sets her apart is her refreshing humility. In her live performances she genuinely seems happy to be there. There's a lot of, "thank you guuuuys!!" and kissy-faces to her boyfriend/DJ A-Trak (bless them for taking the Ashford & Simpson approach to hitmaking).
Why She Might Go Bust:
Her sound is fun and "serious" and "significant" stars aren't supposed to be fun. She's gotta pick up some pesky drug addiction or make electro-driven funereal music to turn the tide.
Why She Might Go Big:
She's got swagger like Kanye, off and on the mic, but her ego is considerably more manageable. In a sense, the anti-Kanye.
DC has a soul history but not many hip hop stars boast a Chocolate City pedigree. Wale could potentially make his city pop his nimble lyrical action. I guess you could peg him as an East coast Lupe Fiasco in terms of skill level but he takes himself a lot less seriously. And thankfully too because that means droppin' rhymes over anything that's kicky from J.U.S.T.I.C.E.'s tinkling disco gem "D.A.N.C.E." to Mark Ronson's velvety instrumentals (he's signed to the producer's Allido label). He brandishes his envy-inducing rhymes skills with a swaggerlicious ease that pop music could use right now.
Why He Might Go Bust:
There are only so many songs you can make about your footwear (Meh, at least the kid has a hobby).
Why He Might Go Big:
He's intellectual without being depressing. And he's got that innate hipness that the masses flock to Pharrell for. More a tastemaker than a taste-chaser.
Whether or not these artists and many more like them lock down endorsement deals and receive gilded mini phonographs this year is fairly irrelevant. Pop success isn't even all that appealing anymore since scandals and psych wards are what seems to keep people in the news these days. In a perfect world, we'd be making it rain on stars like the aforementioned up-and-comers. But since we live in the real world, perhaps the least we can do is give these artists little green pieces of paper in exchange for a few minutes of fun.

Cute But Deadly trademark confirmed!
Would have preferred Illidan over Arthas for the WoW statue, but DIABLO IS SO CUTE.
oh my god I can't wait to get mine!
Why Arthas? :O Is that some sort of hint
One suspects that you'll be able to recoup most of your travel costs by selling these on eBay

jesus christ... what is it with you people and thinking EVERYTHING is a hint? cant something just be what it is without having to be a hint?
im looking so much forward to blizzcon so everyone can just shut up about hints and speculations about the next expansion
Cute but deadly the latest additions to Skylanders
what do those 3 have in common? they are all cool and badass, but only arthas is dead. sad
How adorable! I'll have to settle for my in-game pet, I guess.
they could've been way more cuter and idiotic looking tbh
I find it strange that they chose Arthas. Not Garrosh? Thrall? (again...), Even Sylvanas or Ilidan?
Don't get me wrong - I'm pleased as punch they did that! Arthas represents my favorite WoW expansion, and it's really awesome they went with that! ^_^
I have a strong suspicion that the way these characters are stylized is representative of their in-game model for "Heroes of the Storm".
Dunno about Diablo but Arthas and Kerrigan were both confirmed like 2 years ago as playable in the Heroes of the Storm..so likely why they chose Arthas.
Cute But Deadly - Next WoW expansion? Half-Life 3 confirmed?
Lame... You'll find mine on eBay...

Why I am a bit jealous that I am not getting some plastic figures that I likely would not have even bought in the first place?
i cant wait to put these up on Ebay lol

Happy National Candy Corn Day! I know it's ironic that I review a candy corn flavored Hershey's Kisses to mark the occasion, but I feel it's fitting. You'll soon understand.
Candy corn is something I find people either love or hate with very little gray area in between. Those of us who are fans, and yes I am a fierce candy corn lover, also tend to have strict loyalties to specific brands. I find that Brach's candy corn sings to my taste buds compared to the others. That's the beauty of candy though, everyone has their own tastes.
These flavored Kisses were released for the first time last year as a limited edition exclusive to Target. I was excited by the idea to say the least. The first release of these Kisses were real white chocolate (from what I remember, I could be wrong) that were colored and layered to look like squat candy corn kernels. Today they're a blend of funky tropical oils but keep to the original appearance.
The bag really smells odd when you open it, and it immediately is a spoiler for the flavor. It reeks of butter. Not the good, real, fresh butter either. Oh, no. We're talking the fake stuff that Fabio made a mint selling on TV commercials.
Let me just cut to the chase and say that these Kisses smell and taste of microwave popcorn. Last I checked, candy corn didn't taste like that to me.
Despite the fact that the flavor is completely off and therefore horribly unappealing, there Kisses do have some uses. They are simply stunning to look at, and I'm sure one could get creative with these in the kitchen. Unless you buy them for this specific purpose though, I can't bring myself to recommend them. Along with beauty, I also crave substance.

In the early Sixties, Roger McGuinn had been playing with David Crosby and Gene Clark, billing themselves as the Beefeaters. When Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke joined that group in December 1964, they changed their name to the Byrds. Folk rock pioneers, the Byrds were once described by McGuinn as "Dylan meets the Beatles." Fittingly, the group's first single, "Mr. Tambourine Man," was written by Bob Dylan and reached Number One. They'd score another Number One hit in 1966 with "Turn! Turn! Turn!," based on a Bible passage set to music by Pete Seeger, but it was McGuinn's inspired reframing of a traditional folk song that made a poignant statement on 1965's Turn! Turn! Turn! album, transforming "He Was a Friend of Mine" into a eulogy for John F. Kennedy, two years after he was assassinated on November 22, 1963.
In 1965, the Byrds were charging forward, building their sound around the three-part harmonies of McGuinn, Clark and Crosby, and McGuinn's shimmering, jangling 12-string Rickenbacker guitar. Their album Turn! Turn! Turn! was released at the end of the year and its title track would go to Number One, but "He Was a Friend of Mine" remains among its most emotionally resonant moments. Dylan was singing a version of the song in the early Sixties, but the Byrds' version went in a different direction thanks to a significant reworking by McGuinn. Traditionally, "He Was a Friend of Mine" expresses grief following the death of a friend who died penniless, but McGuinn's new melody and lyrics candidly spoke about the Kennedy assassination: "He was in Dallas town / From a sixth floor window a gunner shot him down / He died in Dallas town / He never knew my name, he never knew my name / Though I never met him I knew him just the same / Oh, he was a friend of mine / Leader of a nation for such a precious time"
In The Byrds: Timeless Flight Revisited, McGuinn recalled: "I wrote the song the night John F. Kennedy was assassinated. I suppose you could say it's one of the earliest Byrds songs."
The Byrds were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991 and are featured in the Los Angeles Music Scene section of the Museum's Cities and Sounds exhibit.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Plant Care Techniques
Gardening Fact...or Fallacy? (page 2 of 2)
by Robert Kourik
3. When planting trees and shrubs, the more compost, peat moss and other amendments you can mix into the ground, the better.
In the early 1970s, Carl Whitcomb, a researcher at Oklahoma State University, disproved this oft-repeated advice. In controlled studies using percentages of different amendments (up to 40%), roots of ornamental trees and shrubs were consistently larger in unamended soils. The amendments seemed to encourage roots to stay in the vicinity of their planting holes and not grow out into the unamended soil, leading to stunted root systems. Whitcomb concluded that it's best to let the roots begin to grow in the nativ soil right away and to use organic matter on the surface as a mulch, rather than mixing it with the soil. If a tree isn't suited to native soil, you are better off growing it in a container than trying to change the soil with amendments.
4. When pruning, always cut tree branches flush to the trunk.
Though U.S. Forest Service worker Alex Shigo debunked this myth some 20 years ago, the news is just now getting around. A truly flush cut does serious damage to a tree. You should leave the branch "collar," a swelling or shoulder around the base of each limb. Shigo discovered that this collar has the ability to produce chemical changes in the area behind a break or cut that preserve tissue and confine decay to a small area, preventing it from moving into the core of the wood. Look at trees in your walks around town or in the woods, and you'll begin to notice these collars, which differ in size and shape with each species.
5. When planting a bare-root tree, prune away enough branches to balance the top with roots lost when the tree was dug.
When a bare-root tree begins to grow, it's able to limit new shoot and leaf growth to the capacity of the root system on its own. Pruning takes away some of the healthiest buds and robs the tree of stored energy. More ground-breaking work by Carl Whitcomb in 1979 demonstrated that removing apical buds provided little benefit to ornamental trees. He showed that trees pruned by more than 15% exhibited "reduced visual quality" as they matured.
If, however, a new tree has a broken limb, prune it back to the nearest strong bud or side shoot. After the tree has grown for a season and recovered from the stress of transplanting, begin pruning for a balanced shape with well-positioned main limbs. Use the least number of cuts possible.
6. Put a layer of gravel in the bottoms of pots to provide drainage.
A little common sense disproves this chestnut as well. If the soil in the bottom of a pot stays wet, a plant's roots get waterlogged and rot. But it's the holes in the bottoms of containers that allow the water to flow through. In pots with no drainage holes, a layer of gravel will do no good. In fact, any gravel in the bottom reduces the volume available for potting soil, as well as making everything heavier than it needs to be. All that's needed is a small fragment of terra-cotta over the pot's drainage holes to keep the soil from slipping out. If the pot rests in a shallow saucer, don't habitually keep the saucer full of water or roots in the bottom layer of soil will be damaged.

Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Summer/Fall 2008 issue.
It's not that I don't love working in an office enveloped in artificial light, but as a free spirit and fun-loving, outdoorsy kind of girl, I'm always ager for an adventure that takes me out of the office and into the sunshine — all in the name of research, of course!
Sea lions have fascinated me since my childhood, their cute dog-like faces and antics reminding me of a seafaring golden retriever. But my first face-to-whiskered-face encounter with these playful pinnipeds would be on an excursion to beautiful Las Caletas. So, I was showered and dressed well before my alarm went off that morning.
At the Maritime Terminal, the staff from Vallarta Adventures was efficient and friendly, answering questions and directing guests to the shaded waiting area before escorting us to the catamaran for the 9 am departure. The crew was welcoming and brimming with energy, and before we had sailed out of the marina, a lovely light breakfast of sweet bread, fruit, juice and coffee was served.
Sailing south along the coast, our cruise director introduced the crew. These high-spirited fellows demonstrated their dancing prowess, much to the delight of female passengers, setting the tone for a fun and memorable day.
A few minutes later, we stopped near Los Arcos National Marine Park and learned about this unique ecosystem before proceeding down the coast toward Mismaloya. In front of the historic cliff side movie set of the Night of the Iguana, we paused for a brief look and to receive guests from the hotel at Mismaloya, brought to the catamaran via a motorized inflatable boat.
By 10:30, we had reached the tropical paradise known as Las Caletas. Not accessible by car, Las Caletas originally was home to Night of the Iguana director John Huston and now is leased by Vallarta Adventures from the Chacala Indian community. Our group consisted of visitors from Canada, USA and Mexico, including a bride and her maid of honor who were spending the day relaxing with massages and onsite spa treatments in preparation for a Las Caletas wedding that evening. The guests and the remainder of the wedding party were to arrive by sailboat after our departure for a sunset ceremony and beach reception.
On shore, we were given the specifics of the day's events, my only disappointment being that there was no way I would be able to fit in everything I wanted to experience. Included in the ticket price are snorkeling, sea kayaking, a yoga class under a shady palapa in the jungle, a paella-cooking lesson, a guided nature walk and a bird and monkey encounter. Additionally, there are numerous beach chairs available for
people who just want to kick back and relax in barefoot comfort. Optional activities for an additional fee include massage and other spa treatments, beginner and certified diving, clay modeling and, my reason for being there that day, snorkeling with the sea lions.
After quickly exploring the well-marked pathways and the spacious, stylishly decorated restrooms, I opted to try sea kayaking. The staff provided a helpful "Kayaking 101" briefing, fitted me with a lifejacket, and helped get me on my way quickly. I chose to leave in advance of the guided kayak tour, so I wouldn't be late for my date with my flippered friend. I found paddling along the shore to be both scenic and relaxing.
A few minutes later, fitted with flippers and lifejackets, five of us swam toward a boat anchored about 30 meters off shore that contained the object of my affections: Litibu, a six-year-old, 159-kg (350-lb) male South American sea lion rescued from Isla de Lobos, Uruguay. His trainer, Julio, uses positive reinforcement training methods, rewarding good behaviors and ignoring the rest. Litibu's favorite reward is fish, and over the course of a day, he consumes about 10.5 kg (23 lbs)!
On Julio's command, Litibu exuberantly jumped off the boat and into the water, but I wasn't sure if it was because he was eager to interact with us or because he knew there'd be lots of fish coming his way, or both. It didn't matter. Just being so close to this magnificent animal was an amazing experience.
Our encounter with Litibu provided numerous opportunities to interact with him, including scratching his back as if he were a dog, getting a fishy, whiskered kiss on the cheek, watching him jump high out of the water, feeding him a fish, holding onto him while being pulled through the water and, finally, a favorite Vallarta pastime, posing for pictures. At the end, Litibu jumped back into his pen on the deck of the little
boat, ready for his ride back to his home at the Vallarta Adventures Dolphin Center in Nuevo Vallarta.
Exhilarated and starving, I made my way to lunch. The delicious buffet offered numerous freshly prepared choices, including breads, salads, barbecued ribs, potatoes, pasta, guacamole and even steaming hot handmade tortillas. The pastry chef outdid himself, and my decadent glazed chocolate cake tasted like it came from a gourmet bakery. The tables were stocked with pitchers of limonada (limeade), and other refreshments, including bottled water, beer and assorted adult beverages, were available on request. Service was prompt and unobtrusive, equaling that expected in an upscale restaurant on land.
After lunch, I had some time to interact with the parakeets, macaws, cockatoos and a squirrel monkey, and even got close to a beautiful tamed owl perched calmly on the arm of his trainer. Animal encounter experiences will be expanded with the inclusion of a trained falcon in the near future.
All too soon, it was time to board our catamaran and enjoy the fiesta on our way back to Vallarta. It was a full and fabulous day, and even though I hear that Litibu has been kissing other women, I still smile whenever I see our romantic photo and recall our time together, the exhilarating highlight of this unforgettable day in paradise.
Rhythms of the Night is the enchanting evening excursion to Las Caletas. Enjoy a sumptuous candlelit buffet dinner along the shore and follow a torch-lit path to a natural amphitheater in the jungle for a spectacular pre-Hispanic-inspired, professionally choreographed show. This unique experience is perfect for sharing with a loved one, family or friends.
Vallarta Adventures Operations Director Ashley Clarke initiated a companywide recycling and ecology program in 2007. Within the first month, their volume of trash was reduced by an astounding 80%! Numerous aesthetically designed and clearly marked bins for separating trash are located onboard and throughout Las Caletas. Gone are the Styrofoam cups and paper napkins of the past. Beverages are served in reusable plastic glasses, and lunch tables are set with lovely fabric napkins and placemats, as well as real cutlery, all washed and reused. All employees are expected to uphold the company's commitment to protecting and improving the environment.

CHUNGJU, Korea –The University of Washington rowing team had 15 former and current athletes and coaches competing at the highest level of the sport at the World Rowing Championships held in Chungju Tangeum Lake, Korea, from Aug. 24-Sept. 1.
The Dawgs' performances were highlighted by coxswain Katelin Snyder ('09) and Kerry Simmonds ('11) who helped the U.S. women's eight take home the gold with a time of 6:02.14. This was the same boat that set a world-record time in July at the World Cup of 5:54.16. Megan Kalmoe ('06) rowed in the U.S. women's quad, that won bronze last year at the London Olympics, and took fifth place at the championships with a time of 6:50.79.
Rob Munn ('12) was just off the podium in fourth place in the stern seat of the U.S. men's coxed pair at a time of 7:16.17.
In the men's eight race Ambrose Puttman ('12) was in the four-seat of the U.S. men's boat that took home bronze at 5:33.92. This boat was coached by former UW freshman coach Luke McGee, who was with the Dawgs from 2008-2012.
There were two other former Washington coaches at Tangeum Lake. Carlos Dinares, who was UW's volunteer coach in 2007, coached the U.S. women's single boat to a fifth place finish. Bryan Volpenhein, the Huskies' intern in 2005, helped the U.S. men's coxless-four win bronze.
Also in the men's four without coxswain, three former Huskies rowed in the Canadian men's boat: Conlin McCabe ('13), Will Crothers ('09) and Rob Gibson ('09). Two other Huskies also rowed for the Canadian team. Current senior Patricia Obee ('14) placed ninth overall in the women's lightweight single with a time of 8:14.19 and Rosie DeBoef ('10) was the spare for the women's eight.
Two dawgs competed in the men's quad; Hans Struzyna ('11) rowed with the U.S. men and Washington rookie Grega Domanjko ('16) helped the Slovenian team place ninth overall with a time of 6:12.40.

Pulitzer winning masterpiece
Meet the Tyrones: Like most resilient, American families, they have had their share of highs and lows – from celebrity and financial success to illness and loss. One fateful day, as their increasingly drunken hours slip by, they are forced to confront the demons that plague them individually, in a final effort to save the family. One of the most powerful plays in American theater and the crowning achievement of a masterful career, Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night won both the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize for Drama and has been enthralling audiences ever since. Epic in scope and elegant in its simplicity, O'Neill's autobiographical masterpiece "restores the drama to literature and the theater to art" (New York Times).
Tickets start at $40!
Long Day's Journey into Night runs approximately 3 hours, including one intermission.
The Eugene O'Neill Festival is generously sponsored by Joan and David Maxwell.
"A masterpiece … Helen Carey, with major-league emotional authority portrays Mary Tyrone [in] as meticulously detailed a portrait of this anguishing character as I've ever encountered."
"[Helen] Carey's riveting … stunning and heartfelt."
"[Nathan] Darrow's Edmund is terrific."
"Wonderful … incandescent performance of Helen Carey."
— Curtain Up
"Striking and magnetic production …
Helen Carey's exceptional performance."
"Fantastic … Helen Carey … is particularly striking."
"Spectacular … Carey's Mary is heartbreaking, infuriating, compassionate, selfish, maternal, and cruel all at once."
" … a must see."
"Powerful … taut emotional performances."

My first visit to Arena Stage was back in the early 1970s, and I am thrilled to be directing here this season.
I first produced Long Day's Journey into Night with Jessica Tandy and William Hutt at the Grand Theatre in London, Ontario, during the 1970s. I revived the production later during my term as the artistic director of the Stratford Festival, where it proved to be one of our most successful presentations.
I also directed the great Jessica Lange and Charles Dance in a production for London's West End.
Now I am returning to the play again. I feel very fortunate to be working for this remarkable theater company and I am grateful to Artistic Director Molly Smith for inviting me, and making this opportunity possible.
I am so grateful for the chance to revisit this monumentally beautiful and tragic play.
What a pleasure the new experience promises to be.

My grandson loves any book that has to do with the weird. This book fits the bill. The pictures are great, the information is easy to read and understand. I bought it for him for his birthday and he lives out of state but is always calling and telling me things he has either seen that he read in the book or just information from the book. It is eduactional as well as fun to read.

By bedtime reader
from Chevy Chase, MD
My kids can't get enough of this book! They LOVE the pictures and sharing the weird facts. I don't like to turn on the TV when I'm making dinner, but I don't really want the kids underfoot either. If this book is out on the table, they are completely absorbed. And then we have lots to talk about at dinner, too! A two-headed turtle? A two-story doghouse? A bison that rides in a convertible? It's a weird world out there!

Womens Water Polo Making Return Trip to Southern Division Title Game
The top-seeded Princeton women's water polo team kicked off the CWPA Southern Division Championship with a 13-4 victory over fifth-seeded Bucknell, before handedly defeating fourth-seeded George Washington 16-2 to conclude bracket play. With the Saturday sweep, the Tigers are headed to the Southern title game for the second consecutive year.
The 12th-ranked Tigers' extended their undefeated stance in divisional play to 7-0 with the pair of wins and improve to 22-5 on the year. Princeton now awaits the conclusion of Bracket B play to determine its opponent on Sunday at 12 noon.
Unlike their meeting a week ago with the Bison, it was the Tigers who jumped out with the offensive control and maintained it throughout the 32-minute match.
A five-goal second quarter burst guided Princeton to a 7-1 halftime advantage. As the defense limited Bucknell to three second half goals, the Tigers closed things out riding a 6-3 run to earn the opening round win.
Leading scorer Katie Rigler had a team-high four goals, scoring twice on counter attacks. Kelly Gross added three of her own, while Jessie Holechek and Molly McBee scored twice.
Ashleigh Johnson made 15 saves and limited the Bison to goals in only the second and fourth quarters. The freshman goaltender also added a pair of assists and a steal.
No. 1 Seed Princeton: 2 – 5 – 3 – 3 - 13
No. 5 Seed Bucknell: 0 – 1 – 0 – 3 – 4
Goals: Hatcher 1, McBee 2, Rigler 4, Klein 1, Holechek 2, Gross 3
Assists: Hooks 1, Dunstan 1, Temple 2, Zwirner 1, Gyorffy 2, Gross 2, Johnson 2
Steals: Hooks 2, Zwirner 2, Gross 1, Johnson 1
Saves: Johnson 15
George Washington peppered in 18 shots on frame, but Johnson managed to deflect all but two to help the Tigers' advance to the championship game behind their 16-2 victory.
As the defensive line held off the Colonial attempts, the offense carried over its firepower from the early game.
Princeton landed 16-of-24 shots as 10 different players got in on the scoring game. Rigler and Saranna Soroka each led the way with three goals apiece, while Gross and Ashley Hatcher found the back of the net two times apiece.
The Tigers jumped out to a 6-0 lead after the first quarter and corralled a 7-1 advantage by the break. GWU's goals came in the second and third quarters and its defense was unable to slow down the Princeton offense that closed out the game outscoring them 9-1.
No. 1 Seed Princeton: 6 – 1 – 6 – 3 – 16
No. 4 Seed George Washington: 0 – 1 – 1 – 0 – 2
Goals: Soroka 3, Hatcher 2, McBee 1, Dunstan 1, Rigler 3, Temple 1, Zwirner 1, Gyorffy 1, Holechek 1, Gross 2
Assists: Soroka 1, Hatcher 1, Hooks 1, McBee 2, Dunstan 1, Rigler 1, Temple 2, Zwirner 3, Klein 1, Gyorffy 1, Johnson 1
Steals: Hatcher 1, Hooks 1, Rigler 2, Zwirner 1, Martinez 1, Gross 2
Saves: Johnson 16

Fair Board doesn't get it
March 10, 2013
Johnnie Gorthy, Minot I was so sad to hear that the State Fair Board is going to evict the Historical Society from its present site, which they have occupied for longer than most of us can remember....
Move it out with the air museum it won't flood there.

Our original All Seasons Arena was voted down. Hostefest was the drive for the building. Since then some $14+ million has been given by Minot and Ward County to the State Fair--much directly benefiting Hostefest, a private business. Don't let them do it. It smells like lutefisk to me.

You have to know when you're not wanted anymore. Must be the time. Time to move to new and better places.
The Ward County Historical Society needs to have a fund raiser to raise some cash and forget about the fair board.
The Ward County Historical Society does not need the NDSF.
If the fair board wants the buildings off of the fairgrounds, they can do it themselves if they want them gone so bad. The fair board can find a location where the buildings can be placed. All at the expense of the NDSF.
Next thing you know, the fair board will ask the Norsk Hostefest to find a new venue.

Yes, let's keep our historical collection right along the river so it can be destroyed by nature. (sarcasm, for those of you not sure how I stand on things;-)

This was really good, I wasn't sure if we were going to like it since I'm not a huge veggie fan, but it was great. All I did different was add some mushrooms (I had some I needed to use) as well as kick up the heat with some chili powder. My corn tortillas just feel apart and practically melts into the rest of the meal, the other half didn't care, he loved it anyway!
This will be making repeat appearances here!

ZF-5010: Zend_Validate_EmailAddress fails to reject certain invalid email addresses
According to RFC 2822 (Section 3.2.4) - [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt], The local part of an e-mail address may consist of alphabetic and numeric characters, and the following characters: !, #, $, %, &, ', *, +, -, /, =, ?, ^, _, `, {, |, } and ~, possibly with dot separators (.), inside, but not at the start, end or next to another dot separator: {quote}dot-atom-text = 1atext *("." 1atext){quote}
The expression used in Zend_Validate_EmailAddress misses the "next to another dot separator" part. For example, the following e-mail address validates:
Further, according to RFC 2821 (Section 18.104.22.168) - [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt], {quote}The maximum total length of a user name or other local-part is 64 characters.{quote}
An email address with 65 characters in the local part validates.
The second is no longer true.
Email addresses with more than 64 chars in the local part and more then 255 chars in the hostname part are no longer valid.

THE XX, THE COMPLEX, Tuesday, Oct. 16, 7 p.m., $27.50
English indie-pop band The xx burst on the scene in 2009 with a self-titled debut that landed in the Top 10 of many critics' year-end lists, and garnered the Mercury Music Prize, an award for what is deemed the best album from the United Kingdom/Ireland. The band's sprawling, often delicate songcraft is further explored on this year's follow-up, Coexist, which garnered reviews nearly as strong as the debut. While the band members claim the new set is reflective of the past couple years the band spent on tour, partying in clubs rather than moping through school (a period that informed their debut), it's hard to listen to Coexist and exactly dub it "party music." Even so, it's stirring in spots, interesting throughout, and certainly proves The xx to be a band worth keeping an eye on in the future.

|Route Climbed: Grizzly Gulch Trail Date Climbed: July 22, 2005
|My first fourteener. The east slope approach is harder than the American Basin approach but worth it. A perfect day of sunshine made the climb and view spectacular. We went down the west side to see both sides as well as the American Basin. The wildflowers are still in bloom and there is still a good bit of snow keeping the creeks alive. The only downside of going up one side of Handies and down the other is that you either have to hitch a ride back to Burrows park or walk.

|Great mountain for a first run at a 14'er. But, oh my!, sheer torture for this body; 4 days was just not enough acclimatization. Not to mention the trudge through 8" of fresh snow. Almost turned around with only 500' to go to the summit. Those specks at the top could have it all to themselves!
I took a moment to resolve my will, and finally made it. Found some great comrade: diggler and pellucid wombat. (Open invitation to California!)
The view has to be among the best anywhere: uninterrupted snow-shrouded peaks in every direction. And for me, an eye to the next, beautiful Mt. Sneffels. We'll save the trip down Handies through the melting snow for another time. In 10am-out 5pm.
Happy to say, my knees forgave me after a few soaks in Orvis, and Sneffels was a breeze!

|Route Climbed: Southwest Slopes Date Climbed: September 4, 1986
|Another solo climb. I car camped down valley at one of the forest service campgrounds. I had summited Sunshine and Redcloud the day before, but still felt quite strong. I parked at the American Basin entrance (tough to get my little car there) and quickly hiked up the valley. After having to maneuver thru a herd of grazing cattle along the Silver Creek trail the day before, there was now a herd of 500? domestic sheep grazing in this valley. Other than the shepherd manning his camp up there, I saw no one else all day. Fortunately, the sheep were skittish and moved from my route. I remember summitting in beautiful sunshine and screeing down the southwest slopes for maybe 1,000 feet. I made great time, returning to my car by 1:15 p.m. I had enough time to pack my camp and drive back to Denver that same day.

|Route Climbed: W slopes to S ridge, from Grouse Gulch Date Climbed: 6 September, 2004
|Unfortunately, my only CO 14er this summer, after Mark (Pellucid Wombat) & I were foiled by non-cooperative climbing conditions on Wilson Peak the day before, & rain/snow/low visibility on Castle Peak 4 days later (gotta love that Colorado Rockies weather!!!) helped make up my mind that that summit would wait until another day as well.
Left TH @ 8.47. Getting up to 13k' saddle, then descending 600' to the base of Handies was tedious & disheartening, but in the end no big deal. Summited @ 12.39, after Mark blew by me a couple hundred feet from the top. Lots of people there that day (though few used our approach). Due to recent snowfall, views that would have been great anyway were absolutely breathtaking- almost all of the magnificent San Juan peaks that were as far as the eye could see, in an almost 360 deg circle, were mantled in summer snow! Probably the best summit views I've ever seen. Wow.
Hung out up top for quite some time, chilling & talking to fellow hikers. Bacardi 151 sure packs a whallop @ 14k'! 90 Shilling was nice, too. Got to know another cool Mark on the summit, this one from Texas (told him about SP, which he joined afterwards (flying fish!)). Left summit @ 14.40 or so (?), & got back to the TH/car @ 18.00.
Breathtaking views along the Million $ Highway afterwards, & nice soak in the hot springs in Ouray- great day!!!
|Posted Sep 16, 2004 10:41 pm
|Route Climbed: South Ridge via Grouse Gulch Date Climbed: September 6, 2004
|Although the route was easy, the views made the hike very worthwhile - certainly one of my favorite summit views! The 6"-2' snow cover from the storm that passed through on the 4th made it look like the middle of winter!
|Posted Sep 8, 2004 2:35 pm
|Route Climbed: American Basin Date Climbed: August 2, 2004
|6th time up. I always enjoy the flowers in the American Basin and pausing at Sloan Lake. One year the wind was so strong I had to lie down to keep from being toppled. And on another occasion, in the first week of August, it was snowing so hard on top I couldn't see more than 100 yrds.
|Posted Sep 6, 2004 4:10 am
|Route Climbed: Grizzly Gulch Date Climbed: August 9, 2004
|Beautiful day, great hike. We were a party of four. Only saw 2 other hikers all day who had summited from American Basin. They said several more parties were hiking from that direction but we did not see them. View from the summit is spectacular.

|Route Climbed: Grizzly Gulch Ridge Traverse Date Climbed: 5 Jun 2004
|Climbed to Grizzly Lake and then on to the ridge up a few moderate snow slopes. From the 13,500' saddle I dropped my pack to run up Pt 13,971 and then continued traversing along the ridge around the basin until I summitted Handies and then Whitecross before returning. Great weather and views from all the summits...much more fun than simply climbing Handies by itself.

As seen on Nat Geo WILD.
Sale Price:
National Geographic follows a group of four-legged forces to be reckoned with in today's workplace. They diagnose bladder cancer by the smell of a patient's urine.

Their work is challenging, stressful and often dangerous, but for the thousands of highly trained working dogs that clock in for duty each morning, it's all in a day's work.
Dogs have forged close work partnerships with humans for thousands of years, and new methods of training dogs to complete complex tasks continue to be pioneered. National Geographic heads to the office with these extraordinary canines and their human partners on jobs that push the limits of their skills.
Episodes include Canine MD, Border Hounds, and New York Police.

When the Devil is too busy

They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
I'll vote 5. It's in the middle since I was miserable for a lot of the time but I learned some valuable things, made some good friends, and made a few good stories to tell.
I think I'll follow Vash's trend.

-2 Shitty Grades
+2 Introspective Binges
+2 Lost My Virginity

you lost the big one!? Way to go squiddy!
When the Devil is too busy

seriously you think you can get away with saying this without getting up pics of the girl?+2 Lost My Virginity
I thought that'd be presumptuous of me.
hm need a better pic to fully judge but as it is i can say i would consider it
good work, squid
I only have that one, I don't blame you though. The demon grin she has going on there would've made me second guess her too. But clearly that's not the way it went 8 ]
it does add a bit of intregue to the bedroom antics though
You mean the mystery of whether or not it's going to turn into exorcist porn?
yes. it's an option i always like to leave open.
I agree, the whole torrent of vomit thing is always a good way to spice things up.
your proud of losing your virginity? I guess I will be too when I lose mine...
Edit: BORING MUMBO JUMBO NOBODY CARES ABOUT
Another trophy to hang on the wall.
The exorcist was on the tv schedule yesterday
but I didn't watch it because I was busy
damn straight it does
god that demon child was sexy
that makes me think of rosemary's baby
I didn't like the elderly people who lived next door from rosemary. they were creeps.
God, what song did you loose your virginity to?

Why is Olivia Wilde desirable?
Olivia Wilde is uber-girlfriend material: She's witty (follow her on Twitter for proof), beautiful (like, crazy beautiful) and resolutely down to earth. No matter what role she's playing, that inherent likability shines through (her cameo in Her was particularly memorable). Jason Sudeikis is a lucky, lucky man.
