Kids Talking Spinach...
I'm not much of a kid person. But these kids are pretty freaking cute. It's a commercial for an insurance company, which stinks, but the little boy is priceless. It's spinach, not Spanish!
Now, not all kids are enthusiastic about veggies. This little girl is totally whacked out about green beans. She REALLY doesn't want them. Maybe she needs a visit from Captain Vegetable!

|Made the mistake of thinking this was hidden crack and expected 2 more pitches above.. Ended up doing right side of the vegetated ledge to the right of the P2 anchor and felt like that was closer to 5.10. Continued up above the 2nd pitch to a nice big ledge. Found a crack and followed it to a roof, then did a peek-a-boo-ish move out right up more then left to a ledge. Felt 5.8R. Then made a traversing pitch up and right to the lightening ledge. Lol what an adventure! Always good times on table..

Another quality Table Rock route. The first pitch is okay but the second pitch is fantastic. Once you reach the ledge after the first pitch you will see a lone bolt about ten feet up, this is the start of the second pitch. Second pitch takes great pro and is very safe. The crux is engaging, fun and well protected (#10 BD stopper at yo face!). Bring plenty of extendable draws for the second pitch.

|A very nice climb. The first pitch is just access. Kinda 5.5 sport. The view and the climbing on P2 is so sweet! It's not that hard. Barely 5.7. Get on this one! And yes one 60m is fine. Two raps.

First reaction: lab-made burger short on flavor
Mark Post, developer of the stem cell burger, poses before the first public tasting, in London, Monday, Aug. 5, 2013. For hamburgers that cost more than $300,000 to produce, you might expect fries and a shake too. But this is no ordinary burger being served to two volunteer taste-testers in London on Monday. This meat was grown in a laboratory from stem cells of cattle. Mark Post, whose team at Maastricht University in the Netherlands developed the burger after five years of research, hopes that making meat in labs could eventually help solve the food crisis and fight climate change.

At its fMC event in New York City this Wednesday, Facebook announced major design changes to brand pages. Page administrators were able to preview the changes starting this week and a mandatory roll out of the redesign begins on March 31st.
While Facebook Timeline for personal accounts incorporated cover art and other visually appealing elements to the Facebook page, Timeline for Brands is more than just a visual overhaul. Facebook has also incorporated new page management features that help page administrators curate the Facebook experience and highlight their most important content in conspicuous and attractive post formats. Also, for administrators of multiple pages, Facebook released functionality that streamlines multiple page management from one central location.
Timeline for Business does not change the core way that people use Facebook, but it does bring the importance of content even further to the forefront. Below is a summary of some of these and other changes for page administrators.
Ad Changes
Moving forward, Facebook has announced that sponsored stories will appear in the news feed instead of where they are currently showing in the right rail above other paid advertisements. In addition to this change, Facebook will begin to show ads that display in the news feed to users who are using a Facebook mobile app or viewing on m.facebook.com. Facebook has also made various changes to their Premium ad offering. (Premium ads are available to clients who sign an insertion order and spend a minimum of $25,000 per month.)
Timeline for Facebook Business Pages
While current business pages can "opt in" to the timeline functions starting on February 29th, all business pages will be forced into the new layout beginning on March 31st. Facebook has already stated that, later this year, this new layout will also be shown when users access your page using a mobile device.
You can see how companies are already using this layout here: facebook.com/cocacola or here: facebook.com/livestrong
Changes to Page Functionality
Facebook has announced a few key changes to the functionality of these new Business Pages.
Changes to profile image:
Profile images are now reduced to measure 180 pixels by 180 pixels. However, Facebook has added new image space with the 'cover photo'. The cover photo will appear across the top of the page measuring in at 851 pixels by 351 pixels with the profile image to the left.
While businesses are able to choose this image, Facebook has set some strict ground rules to the use of this space. Facebook has stated that cover photo images cannot contain price or purchase information, contact info, calls to action, or references to Facebook functions such as 'like' or 'share'.
Changes to page options:
With this update, pages are no longer able to set a default landing tab. All users will be sent directly to your wall. Facebook suggests using a post with a link to the tab you want users to visit in order to drive traffic to a certain tab. This post can be pinned to the top of the page.
Facebook has also added the ability for business pages to send and receive personal messages. Businesses are not able to initiate the conversation, but this is a great place for companies to respond to customer service issues without replying in public on the wall of the page.
Changes to tabs:
One major change is the change to tabs. Instead of a list on the left hand side of tab options, tabs are now displayed by images measuring 111 pixels by 74 pixels across the top of the screen. Currently, 4 tabs are displayed but more tabs can be added and will show as a drop-down option.
In terms of what the tabs look like when clicked, they are now displayed as individual pages with a small control bar at the top of the page. Apps can now be up to 810 pixels wide with this new expansion.
Changes to Page Posting Options
Facebook now gives a few new options when writing posts and managing them on your wall. You now have the ability make changes to any post on your timeline including the option "star" it or "pin" it.
When you "star" a post, the post goes from taking up one-half of the timeline to taking up the entire screen. Importantly, if you want to "star" a post with an image that is not the correct size, Facebook will alter the size and aspect ratio of the image. When an image is displayed normally on one-half of the timeline, the image is approximately 403 pixels by 403 pixels. When the post is "starred", the image is increased to 960 pixels by 637 pixels. For past posts, Facebook crops the image automatically to fit the space.
A standard image post on timeline:
A starred image post on timeline:
As shown above, Facebook cropped the couch out of the photo in order to achieve the proper size.
In addition to starring a post, you now also have the option to "pin" a post to the top of your wall. This post will then remain at the top of your wall for 7 days unless you manually "un-pin" it.
Changes to Page Post Layouts
Facebook now shows new boxes on your Page Timeline, featuring friend activity, friend check-ins, friends who have posted about your brand in their status, and posts by other users. These boxes appear at the top of your timeline on the right hand side.
Friend activity:
Friend check-ins:
Friends posted about:
Posts by other users:
Notice above all posts to your wall that are not posted by you will be aggregated in the posts by other users box.
These new changes provide new opportunities for all types of businesses to better connect with customers. Get out there and create your own corporate story!

Each shining trinket has a story it can tell
Your moments pining like those tales all intertwining

The morning marine layer, known by locals simply as June Gloom, did nothing to deter competitors at the annual Santa Monica Pier Paddleboard Race and Ocean Festival this past Saturday. The decade's old event featured a variety of ocean going competitions, from swims to dory races, but it is the new sport of Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) which has rapidly ascended to take center stage.
The competition has increased in recent times and this year did not disappoint as top competitors from around the globe descended upon the historic pier to battle it out in the waves. The team from Quickblade Paddles fell just short of scoring a trifecta in both the men's and women's elite SUP races as teammates Jamie Mitchell and Chase Kosterlitz dueled all the way to the finish line, crossing one and two respectively, while Rogue SUP's Javier Jimenez and Quickblade's Matt Becker rounded out the top four.
On the women's side, it was Shae Foudy all the way. The young competitor led the pack of seasoned athletes as Quickblade's Morgan Hoesterey finished a solid second ahead of Kelsa Gabehart and visiting teammate Silvia Mecucci from Italy.
The excitement did not stop with the pros, as local standouts and newcomers demonstrated that they too could turn it on. Ryan Khysh made his first visit to the pier and delivered a solid performance, claiming second in the men's stock class open 16-39 division. The young Canadian paid a visit to the Quickblade Paddles HQ prior to the race and his result suggests he picked up a tip or two from four time Olympian Jim Terrell along the way. Local favorite Mike Vaughan took home first in the stock 40-49 division, while the Sultan of the South Bay – Gene "Tarsan" Smith won his division and finished second overall in the stock class competition.
Pete De'Avila delivered a sound performance in the men's 14' class race, claiming second place, among a stacked field of local athletes, as Southern California stalwarts Kristen Thomas and Antoinette Cocco each won their divisions.
In addition to the morning's 5.5 mile course, the event featured a SUP Cross competition later in the day. Born out of a format first used on the shores of South Lake Tahoe, SUP Cross involves multiple heats of competitors racing from shore around a series of buoys and back in a high intensity and dramatic competition. Unlike many SUP races where competitors rapidly fade from view, SUP Cross takes place directly off shore making the races thrilling to competitors and spectators alike.
Quickblade's Candice Appleby proved she still has what it takes after taking time off to recover from an injury by claiming first in the women's SUP Cross competition – in addition to winning earlier events in prone paddling. The cross training on prone boards has clearly paid off as the Queen of SUP demonstrated she is more than a one trick pony by sweeping the field with first place victories in the 5.5 mile prone paddleboard race, SUP Cross and Prone Paddle Cross events.

The Desert Lord's Bride
Olivia Gates
July 2008, Series Romance
Sil Desire #1884, $4.75, 186 pages, Amazon ASIN 0373768842Part of a series
I've avoided sheik books in the past, primarily because, like cowboys and vampires, sheiks are just not my fantasy. I picked up The Desert Lord's Bride because I wondered if it wasn't a little unfair to completely dismiss the sub-genre as "not for me." After reading it, I knew the sub-genre was not for me, and I couldn't help wondering why it appealed to anyone else either.
Shehab Aal Masood, a prince from Judar, is in a difficult spot. The continuation of Judar's monarchy and the entire stability of his political region depend on his marriage to Farah Beaumont. Farah is the promiscuous mistress of a rich American, and she's also the daughter of King Atef Aal Shalaan, from a neighboring country. Shehab intends to do his duty, but he's sure he won't like it. Farah may be beautiful, but inside she is cold as stone. So he'll seduce her, marry her, knock her up, and then go about his not-so-merry way, knowing that he can never find true happiness.
Shehab arranges to meet Farah at a party in L.A. They fall in love instantly. Or they fall into something anyway. To make a long story short, she gets champagne all over herself, flees into a garden, nearly attacks Shehab in her haste to get his clothes off, gets photographed by paparazzi, and gets in his private plane and flies to Judar. Without a passport, or a change of clothes, or a toothbrush. Or common sense. When they meet, Shehab gives a fake name and pretends that he is merely a powerful financial magnate. Farah can relate to this, because despite the fact that she has the street smarts of a three year old, she works in high finance too. Bill, the old guy she is supposedly boffing, is really her boss, and their whole relationship is a charade. Why? Best not to ask.
They arrive at Shehab's palace, where Farah is bathed in luxury. Though foreplay and silly innuendo abound, he really wants to make her wait for actual sex. Eventually, Farah risks her own life to save him during a scuba diving excursion. Convinced of her love and lack of guile, Shehab finally takes her to bed. He feels guilty, but he knows that he can't tell her who he really is...yet.
You can probably see where this is headed, and you'd be completely right. It goes exactly where you think it would, right down to its ridiculous and inevitable end.
As I was reading the book, I couldn't help hearing the words "Too Stupid to Live" echoing in my ears. When I first started reviewing romance, lots of heroines were too stupid to live; it was practically an epidemic. In recent years, you just don't see it as much. As a community (of readers and writers) we've mostly moved beyond that, I think. In case you are really missing those TSTL heroines, look no further than Farah. Let's see. She gets on a plane with some guy she doesn't know, after half an hour's acquaintance. She apologizes often when she upsets him - which is usually when some glimmer of common sense peeks through, and she doubts him for a moment. She agrees to all kinds of crazy crap, and doesn't even bother googling the guy (and yes, she has internet access). The kicker? She doesn't bother with birth control either. After the inevitable happens and she finds out who Shehab really is, she runs away and he comes to her. She thinks, "he still didn't realize. Or he was still trying to bluff his way out of it? He probably thought he could. She was too stupid to live, after all. She'd proved it for six long weeks." Is it better if the heroine is TSTL and knows it? Not much.
But let's not give Shehab a free pass. He's a scary, controlling ________ (rhymes with smasshole). He feeds Farah, bathes Farah, and makes choices for Farah. He also threatens anyone who harasses Farah, and not in a "I'll kick his ass!" way - more in a "I'll take care of him permanently" way. I found their relationship creepy, not sexy. Also, I couldn't bring myself to care what happened to their monarchy. I guess I just don't get monarchy in general, unless it's of the figurehead variety.
The language of the book is also old school, and at times I was almost sure I was reading one of our old purple prose parody entires - possibly a winning one. But it wasn't a joke. Everything is simply over the top. I laughed out loud when Shehab is about to feed Farah something exotic, and she is overcome by the moment: "He laughed. She moaned. At the sound. At the scents of food mixed with that of virility." I'm not sure what virility smells like, but I was thinking a cross between beer, jockstraps, and lawnmowers. And this is hardly the only line of this type.
I came away thinking that one woman's fantasy is another one's nightmare. And I guess you can tell which category The Desert Lord's Bride fell into for me.

Inky Tissues : Side Effects of Filling a Fountain Pen
If you are a fountain pen user like me, chances are you are used to inky fingers and inky tissues. (From wiping off the nib after filling.) I'm always amazed at the designs the ink leaves on the tissues, so I decided to share a few.
This first one is J. Herbin's Lie de The. It's a brownish color and I'm fascinated by the orange halos...
Next is J. Herbin's Bouquet D'Antan. A light pink color, it looks pretty on the tissue - the color of Bazooka Bubble gum.
I always seem to have difficulties shooting anything purple. This is J. Herbin's Violette Pensee. It really is purple, though it looks more blue on my monitor.
Vert Reseda, also by J. Herbin. A bright teal color.
This is ink, I swear!!! Though it looks even more like blood in person. The color to the upper left of the tissue is Diamine's Pumpkin, a super vibrant orange, in the middle (bottom) is Diamine's Poppy Red - a gorgeous saturated red, and in the upper right, Diamine's Maroon.
Maybe I should make some sort of collage out of them.......hmmmmmmm.

Yeah, definitely make the collage. And frame it. What better art then something that is a part of what you love anyway? And those colors are so pretty.
I have a suggestion for an entry, btw. I have always been interested in getting started with fountain pens, but they're intimidating. Can you blog on what the best starting pen, ink and paper would be? As well as another separate entry on different how-tos (best cleaning methods, best filling for beginners, etc)?

Isn't this fun to do! The way browns break down is particularly interesting. Nothing else seems to be as obviously a mix of at least two colors whether brown and orange or brown and yellow. I can't recall which blue ink broke down into blue, purple and pinkish red but that was really pretty. Have you seen that one?

I guess this is how they came up with the Rorschach test. Are those drops of blood or perhaps cartoon balloons waiting for a character's words?

The colours and stain marks are lovely. I think they would make for a great collage or just displayed together as a collection. :)

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Container Gardening & Ponds
Fuchsia Flair (page 3 of 3)
by Joseph F. Williamson
Protection through Cold Winters
If winter lows will drop down into the mid-20s or lower, bring potted fuchsias indoors, and put them in a cool place until spring. Small container plants can stay outdoors if laid on their sides pot and all, and covered with sawdust. For plants in the ground, cut back branches and cover the base of the plants with sawdust.
Fourteen Favorites
Among the hundreds of fuchsia varieties sold in the United States, 14 are so good and so readily adaptable that they are sold, bought, displayed, and enjoyed everywhere that fuchsias can possibly be grown: the Pacific Coast; the Great Lakes regions; the Atlantic coast from the Carolinas north; and in New England. These varieties do not enjoy hot, steamy nights, but they tolerate them better than other varieties do. Flowers are single, semidouble, and double. The single flowers have four petals, the semidouble flowers five to eight petals, and double flowers more than eight.
To give you an idea of how long fuchsias have been popular and how many countries grow them, I've included the country and year of introduction for each variety. The kinds of fuchsia described here are all varieties of F. hybrida. Flowers of F. magellanica are always red and purple -- it's in plant size and growth habit that many named varieties differ.
'Autumnale' (Europe, 1880). Red and reddish violet flowers. Variegated yellow-and-green leaves turn to copper red. Hanging plant or shrub. Remarkably heat-tolerant.
'Billy Green' (Britain, 1966). Single salmon pink flowers. Vigorous shrub.
'Cascade' (United States, 1937). Single red and white flowers. Hanging-basket type.
'Checkerboard' (United States, 1948). Many single red-and-white flowers. Vigorous bush type. Remarkably heat-tolerant.
'Display' (Britain, 1881). Single flowers in violet and shades of pink. Bush type. Notably hardy.
'Dollar Princess' (France, 1912). Small, profuse double flowers are cherry red and rich violet. Bush type. Notably hardy. Remarkably heat-tolerant.
'Gartenmeister Bonstedt' (Germany, 1905). Long, tubular orange-red flowers. Dark bronze red-green leaves. Bush type.
'Hidcote Beauty' (Britain, 1949). Many single medium-sized flowers in cream and pale salmon pink. Bush type. Remarkably heat-tolerant.
'Lena' (Britain, 1862). Many semidouble flowers in coral pink and deep pink. Vigorous bush type. Hardy.
'Marinka' (France, 1902). The most popular fuchsia of all, with many medium-sized single red flowers. Hanging plant.
'Mary' (Germany, 1894). Bright scarlet single flowers. Dark green leaves with reddish purple veins. Bush form.
'Swingtime' (United States, 1950). Many scarlet, milky white, and cherry red flowers on vigorous plants. Hanging plant.
'Thalia' (Germany, 1905). Long, slender, light orange-red flowers. Bushy shrub. Fairly tender.
'Tom Thumb' (France, 1850). Carmine and mauve-violet flowers. Bushy and hardy.

The Art Voyager, 2-12: Gallery Hop-o-thermia
Fear & loathing in Chelsea
By Paul Ben-Itzak
Copyright 2011 Paul Ben-Itzak
NEW YORK -- Only a true art-fanatic with a death wish would walk 50 blocks to the Chelsea Art Valley on a polar night in Manhattan, when the towering buildings on the seemingly interminable blocks between 10th and 11th Avenue make the art voyager seem particularly naked in the Naked City. So there I was -- oui, moi -- with a scribbled list of a dozen galleries hosting openings Thursday night, in search of high middle-brow art 'arrosed' by red, red, wine. What I found was middle-concept middling art watered down by tepid white wine (doesn't stain like red), only one artist worth remarking among the 12, this defeated art voyager treading wearily home in his Fort Worth Mexican flea market tan cowboy boots, only to be saved by Joel McCrea riding out of the high country with Randollph Scott riding herd.

Homeopathy -Medicine for the
New Millennium
By George Vithoulkas
The International Academy of Classical
Homeopathy.- Athens, Greece; 2000.
This is a new, expanded edition of Vithoulkas' book 'Medicine of the New Man'. I have always considered the original book to be one of the finest introductions to homeopathy available. My original copy is dated 1979, and it is a long time since I last looked at it, so I was very interested to read this new edition and to compare it with the former.
It is essentially the same book (Chapters I - 9, 1 1 and 12 are unchanged) but there are some changes, and some significant new additions making an extra 84 pages in all. Chapter 10: 'Does Homeopathy Work?' has been substantially rewritten including several new cured cases. These cases, although anecdotal, are an extraordinary testament to what homeopathy can achieve in seemingly impossible situations.
Chapter 13: 'Plans for the Future' has some changes. Entirely new are the chapters: 'The Great Misunderstanding', 'What is the Alternative' and 'Revolutionary New Proposal'. 'The Great Misunderstanding' refers to the widely held belief that constant improvements in orthodox medical science have brought a better state of health to mankind. Vithoulkas asserts that this is not so, and that not even one chronic degenerative disease can be truly cured by current orthodox therapeutics. He also asserts that no centralized health system can succeed and advocates an entirely different system for delivering health care which he outlines in the next chapter 'What is the Alternative?'. Crucial to this is much more research into alternative methods of treatment such as homeopathy, and provision of necessary funding to finance this. The chapter 'Revolutionary New Proposal' details how health care might be funded in order to make his vision a reality.
The original book contained detailed materia medica of four well known polychrests, Nux vomica, Lycopodium, Natrum m riaticum, and Phosphorus. In the new edition these have been replaced by Alumina, Argentum nitricum, Aurum metallicum, Ba ta carbonica, and Calearea carbonica. These remedy pictures are much more detailed than the originals, and are based on the author's now much more extensive clinical experience. The book is worth buying for these remedy pictures alone. They are taken from Vithoulkas monumental work on homeopathic materia medica "Materia Medica Viva"which is being published in stages.
One of the main features of Vithoulkas' writings on materia medica is how he details stages of development of pathology from the beginning, right through to the end stage at the mental, emotional and physical levels. His ability to do this is based on detailed observation of many thousands of cases. This level of detail brings many new insights and it is one of the main reasons that I was first attracted to him as a teacher.
So far I have been writing for those who have already read the original edition of 'Medicine of the New Man'. For those who have not read it I will outline the contents of the book as a whole. It is an excellent introduction to the basic principles of homeopathy which is suitable for the general public and students alike. The explanations are clear, concise and articulate, and expresses particularly the classical homeopathic view.
He begins with an introduction to Hahnemann and the Law of Similars and follows with chapters on 'The Vital Force', 'The Dynamic Plane' and 'Predisposition to Disease' with reference to the appropriate paragraphs from the Organon. He continues with a chapter on 'The Homeopathic Interview' where he describes the procedure of case taking giving a delightful example of one of JT Kent's cases. He follows this with a theoretical case of influenza describing a series of pertinent remedies with differential diagnosis.
The next chapter, 'The Patient's Responsibility' is an unusual and welcome subject in a book of this nature. Here Vithoulkas outlines the patient's role in the homeopathic interview and treatment. He writes 'Homeopathy is a powerful and effective therapy, but it also demands a great deal from the patient. One doesn't get something for nothing. The patient must learn to observe areas of life which are ordinarily ignored by most people, and this observation must be done objectively and dispassionately.' He goes on to give details as to how this may be accomplished, pointing out the various pitfalls. He also underlines the need for patience as homeopathic prescriptions are always designed to bring about cure of the entire organism, not merely momentary relief of specific symptoms. The goal of harmonious functioning on all levels may take weeks, months or even years. Cure is dependent upon the strength of the patient's vital force, history of severe illness particularly if treated with orthodox drugs, hereditary factors and the history of poor diet, lack of exercise and drug or alcohol abuse. He then describes interfering factors which could influence the effect of the medicine including dental treatment and coffee. He also includes a short paragraph on the handling and storage of medicines. He finishes the chapter with a description of remedy aggravations or healing crisis. This is a practical chapter for patients. The following chapters are of equal interest to patients. In 'Does Homeopathy Work?' Vithoulkas gives a number of case examples from his 40 y in practice and in the next two chapters describes the homeopathic understanding of the process of cure in an easily digestible manner.
In conclusion, this is an excellent update of a previously excellent book which has done much to promote homeopathy. Its clarity and simplicity of style would make it a welcome addition to any practitioner's bookshelf.

Driving incident under investigationJuly 23,2013Driving incident under investigation
KILLINGTON A local man was arrested Saturday following a complaint from a motorist who said Norman Corbin tried to force the driver off the road on Roaring Brook Road.
Corbin, 42, wasnt charged by Vermont State Police with any kind of careless or negligent operation of a motor vehicle charge. Instead, police say he will answer in September to misdemeanor counts of driving with a suspended license and providing false information to a law enforcement officer.
However, Trooper Erin Hodges, who charged Corbin, said police are still investigating the incident and could bring more charges.MORE IN This Just InIve written much lately about the need for better media literacy and the importance of vetting...

Let $(\mathcal{A},*)$ be a $*$-algebra, we have the following observation:
Let $\|\cdot\|_1$ and $\|\cdot\|_2$ be two norms on $\mathcal{A}$ such that the involution is an isometry with respect to both norms, and that $\|\cdot\|_1$ and $\|\cdot\|_2$ are equivalent on $\mathcal{A}_{sa}$. Then the two norms are equivalent on $\mathcal{A}$.
That is, if we have two $*$-norms ($\|a\|=\|a^*\|$) that are equivalent on $\mathcal{A}_{sa}$, then they are equivalent on the whole algebra. The crucial part of the proof of the observation is that $a\in\mathcal{A}$ can be expressed as linear combination of a fixed number ($\le 2$) of self-adjoint elements ($\frac{a+a^*}{2}$, $i\frac{a-a^*}{2}$), which are themselves convex combination of $a$ and $a^*$ (both have norm $\|a\|$).
I wonder how far we can generalize this observation. There seem to be three directions, i) from $\mathcal{A}_{sa}$ to other spanning set (projections?); ii) from norms to other subadditive functions; and the one I am most interested in now iii) from $\|\cdot\|$-topology to other locally convex topologies.
Thus my question: is the topology of a $*$-algebra determined by the topology of self-adjoint elements?

Stampede Park
1410 Olympic Way SE, Calgary, AB, T2P 2K8
800-661-1260 | Website
Stampede Park is home to the Calgary Stampede, Calgary Flames, Calgary Hitmen, Calgary Roughnecks and countless trade shows, concerts, and events.
Profile Last Updated: March 25, 2009
Calgary's impressive Stampede Park is bordered on the west by MacLeod Trail, on the east by the Elbow River, on the north by 14 Avenue SE and by 25 Avenue SE in the south. The Park is easily accessible by the city's Light Rail Transit system (otherwise known as the LRT) by both the Erlton-Stampede and Victoria Park-Stampede stations. During the first weeks of July the entire area teems with the sights and sounds of the Calgary Exhibition & Stampede, and throughout the rest of the year they host NHL hockey games, big-name music acts and countless trade shows and conventions. The park houses the following facilities:
Pengrowth Saddledome
Unmistakable for its distinct, saddle-like shape, the Pengrowth Saddledome is home of the National Hockey League's Calgary Flames, the Western Hockey League's Calgary Hitmen, and the National Lacrosse League's Calgary Roughnecks. This facility can seat nearly 20,000, and its acoustics and riggings are capable of handling the demands of the productions of music superstars the likes of U2, Cher and Pink Floyd. Throughout the Stampede it is busy hosting Heavy Horse Shows, Mounted Shooters Competitions and Team Cattle Penning contests.
Round-Up Centre
This newly-expanded and modernized complex is event central for Calgary. It has nearly 400,000 square feet of floor space, complete catering capabilities and state-of-the-art meeting facilities. During the Stampede it houses a massive trade show and popular casino.
Welcome to Calgary's oldest arena, where the Flames began their Calgary career and good, old-fashioned Stampede Wrestling used to liven up the weekends. It plays host to the IAMS Superdog challenges during the Stampede.
This open-air facility hosts the Stampede's chuckwagon races and grandstand show nightly, and the world-famous rodeo during the day. These two huge events attract more than a million viewers yearly.
Big 4 Building
Otherwise known as The Getaway, during the Stampede the Big Four is an escape from cowboy life into the hi-tech world of gaming and the seductive world of style. There are numerous events daily here, including Wii and Xbox tournaments and Mode Models fashion shows.
Agriculture Building
If it's agriculture related, you are bound to find it in the Agriculture Building, also known as the Agriculture Pavilion, located at the northeast end of the Stampede Grounds. At the west end of the Ag Building is the Victoria Pavilion, which is home to almost all the Stampede's show horses, cows, sheep and swine.
Nashville North
This is one big beer garden and where the party is on from noon until night during the Stampede. Taking the stage daily are several well-known live performers, and the dance floor is always stuffed with couples expertly two-stepping in their kickin' cowboy boots.
The Stages
Two free stages makes the price of admission more than worthwhile at the Stampede. Each evening the Coca-Cola Stage showcases the newest, hippest and hottest rock n' roll bands, while the Enbridge Stage is busy hosting such acts as the award-winning Calgary Stampede Band and the jaw-dropping antics of the USA Break Dancers.
Saddledome Lane
New for 2008 is Saddledome Lane, where daily events promise to include Heavy Horse Hitching, Stars of the Show Evergreen Theatre productions, a Kids Pedal Tractor Pull and Youth Talent Performers.
Tip: Parking is at a premium around the Grounds, so it is a good idea to leave your car at a nearby LRT station and take the train in.

Eggnog is a seasonal item that deserves to be a year-round indulgence. The creaminess and spiciness of this ever-popular drink is enticing to many. Sometimes, it has a liquor content while some brands leave out the cognac or rum. Either way, it tastes great. So, December 24 is set aside just to celebrate eggnog. It is known as National Eggnog Day.
Of course throughout the winter holiday season, eggnog is availble in stores. But, if you have a craving for eggnog at any other time of the year, fret not. You can make eggnog easily at home. All you need is milk, eggs and spices. Oh, a blender will help. You will have a delicious treat in minutes.
Here's a simple recipe for eggnog:
Easy Eggnog
- 2 eggs, beaten well
- 3 tbs sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg, ground
- 2 1/3 cups milk
Blend all ingredients and serve chilled.
But if you want to buy your eggnog, you can find it at many Chicagoland stores, including grocery stores, convenience stores and specialty stores like Trader Joe's or World Market.

Medical marijuana advocates met at the Oklahoma Capitol to argue their case for making "Charlotte's Web" legal in the Sooner State. "Charlotte's Web" is a specific form of medical marijuana that appears to help children with epilepsy. According to a February 12 report by KWTV Channel 9 News in Oklahoma City, it doesn't appear that a bill will be written to make "Charlotte's Web" legal.
Parents and doctors testified about "Charlotte's Web," urging Oklahoma lawmakers to make this form of medical marijuana legal. It is a non-smoked, non-psychoactive marijuana that seems to decrease the seizures many children with epilepsy experience.
The creator of "Charlotte's Web," Josh Stanley, said that children who take this marijuana oil have seen an 88% reduction in their seizures. He was at the hearing at the Oklahoma Capitol.
"It's no longer the hippy in the corner sitting there saying 'Free the weed'," Stanley explained. "We're saying 'Save the children'."
Despite all the pleas from the parents and the doctors of children with epilepsy, it is unlikely that "Charlotte's Web" will become legal in Oklahoma. Enid lawmaker, Senator Patrick Anderson, stated he will not introduce any legislation to make legalize "Charlotte's Web." Anderson was just one of many lawmakers at the hearing.

According to Thursday's publication of the Washington Missourian, a dog was shot and killed by deputies in Franklin County, Mo., who were trying to serve a search warrant.
The deputies were at the residence investigating a stolen vehicle which was reported to be on the property - residents at the property had been arrested in the past for various crimes. The vehicle in question was located, seized and removed from the property.
The deputies did not locate items that had been reported to be inside of the stolen vehicle, so they secured a search warrant for the home, and returned to the property to complete the search for stolen goods.
The situation became dangerous when repeated attempts by the deputies, to get someone to answer the door, failed. When no one answered the door, the deputies attempted to gain access to the home's interior through a window - one officer came face to face with a protective dog inside of the house.
After utilizing pepper spray on the dog, the deputy was able to exit the residence.
After the window attempt, a woman finally came to the door and the deputies informed her that the dog needed to be secured in order for the house to be searched - though the woman told the deputies that the dog would be put away, the door was instead opened and the dog exited.
The deputies have stated that the released dog "aggressively" charged at them - the dog was killed when the officers opened fire.

Alan Watts torrent
Alan Watts Torrent Description
This is 1.6 DAYS of Alan Watts audio. It is, from what I have found, the most complete Alan Watts audio collection in a torrent. These files are often a VERY low bitrate. I mean some are at 16kbps. But they are still totally listenable. Also they are not in the best organization. This is how they were when I downloaded them (actually I\'ve cleaned them up somewhat). All I ask is that, if you have an interest, please Google \"Open Source Religion\" and discover a religion that is highly congruent with Watt\'s philosophy.

Grilling and picnic season is on. Cleaning, cooking, separating and getting the proper chill on can keep your Memorial Day outdoor activities continuing at warp speed.
Prepare all foods on surfaces that are cleaned between before and after preparation. This also means washing your hands before and after, and if you are cooking and preparing, and checking other foods while you prepare other foods washing your hands is important before you change onto the next food whether it is cooked or to be chilled. This goes at the picnic site, keep anti-bacterial hand wipes at the picnic/grilling location if water and soap can't be used.
The raw from the cooked
Bring plenty of plates and eating, cooking utensils. Make sure only raw foods go on raw plates and make sure only cooked foods go on cooked plates. Keep raw and cooked meats, http://www.examiner.com/article/summer-seasonal-healthy-low-country-boilfish separated. Pack meats at the bottom of the cooler, in case of leaks, meat juices will not cross-contaminate other foods and drinks.
Cook foods meant to be cooked all the way. Do not cook partially meaning to cook the rest of the way at a later time. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal cooking temperature of meats. Keep meats cold until cooking time.
Keep cold foods cold in the cooler. The trunk is not the coldest place in the vehicle and not the safest for foods. Make sure the time a cooler with food spends in the trunk is limited or the ice is constantly checked and added to when traveling long distance. Keep coolers in the shade when outdoors. Remove raw food only when you are ready to cook them. When outdoors discard any perishable food that sits out longer than two hours in temperatures above 80-degrees.

After decades of false dawns and failed reforms, the long journey to create a plan for the health of the Murray-Darling is almost at a close. The plan is now in the hands of the federal government. And we now have compelling evidence for why the Murray needs higher flows than the current version of the Basin Plan allows.
Newly released scientific research is providing a valuable insight into what the Murray Darling Basin Plan could achieve if national leaders put the Basin's long-term sustainability ahead of vested interests.
After months of requests for modelling of higher volumes from environment groups, scientists and politicians, the Murray-Darling Basin Authority has modelled the environmental benefits of returning 3200 billion of water to the environment; rather than 2750 billion recommended in the current Basin Plan.
The results show that the extra water would mean the difference between life and death for many of the Basin's internationally significant wetlands, including the Coorong, Hattah Lakes and Gunbower Forest.
This ACF analysis shows the improvements that 3200 billion litres of additional water can provide over the current 2750 billion litre version of the Basin Plan.
The extra 450 billion litres could provide the river enough flows to flush two million tonnes of salt out to sea a year and to keep its mouth open without the need for dredging. The flushing flows would mean the difference between life and death for the Coorong – the largest internationally significant wetland in the Southern Hemisphere.
By the last drought, decades of unsustainable water use had left the river so weak that its mouth closed over and the Coorong became five times saltier than the sea
The salty water left native flora and fauna struggling to survive and made for the ideal breeding ground for invasive tube worms, which attached themselves to the shells of native freshwater turtles. These bulky parasites weighed down many of the turtles so that the suffocated and drowned.
Conditions were tough for communities at the mouth too. Tourism was all but put on hold, dairy operations dropped by 70 per cent and more than $35 million of South Australian tax payers' money was spent on dredging in an effort to open up the river mouth.
As this new research shows, improving the Basin Plan to return higher environmental flows is the only way we can restore the Murray's health and to prevent South Australia from suffering the same fate again.
While it is a step in the right direction, the new modelling shows that 3200 billion litres will not be enough water to stop the decline of all key floodplain wetlands in the Murray-Darling Basin
Key areas of floodplain wetlands and large areas of river red gum and black box forests at the Hattah Lakes in Victoria will not be saved under a 3200 billion litre Basin Plan. These magnificent old-growth forests grow on upper floodplains and rely on being intermittently inundated when flows are high enough to spill over the river banks The recommended increase is an improvement, but still not adequate to protect Basin's ecosystems against the mounting impacts of climate change.
On top of this, the modelling does not take into account the impacts of extracting large volumes of groundwater, as proposed in the current plan. The modelled increase from 2750 to 3200 billion litres is a step in the right direction, but it is not enough and more work needs to be done before a final plan is tabled in federal Parliament. The majority of South Australian federal members of parliament have been calling for an improved Basin Plan since the release of the draft in late last year.
The Basin Plan is now in the hands of the federal government and the clock for delivering a good plan is ticking. South Australian federal MPs now have a final chance to stand up for a strong Basin Plan which returns the Murray to health.
They recognise that with this Basin Plan comes a rare opportunity to restore our nation's lifeblood so its wetlands can function as habitat for endangered wildlife and filter river water for communities and industries to use. It's worth getting the plan right and this new scientific research is evidence that with more environmental water we can.
Call your federal MP to speak up for more environmental water for the Basin.

Mindy Tran speed bump: Tran's decision to use her body as a "speed bump" saved the lives of her two small children. The Lawrence, Massachusetts mom saw her vehicle rolling down her steep driveway with her two-year-old twin daughters strapped in the back, and she threw herself down behind the vehicle to halt the car from rolling into busy traffic below.
According to ABC News on Wednesday, "Tran says she is lucky to be alive after she lay on the ground behind her Honda Accord to stop it from rolling into the street with her kids still inside."
The 22-year-old Tran said she had been staying in a shelter, and had just moved into an apartment when the accident occurred. Tran said she saw the car moving with her young twins – daughters Saleen and Sydney trapped inside – and her instincts just took over.
"I knew it was either mine or their (lives)," the teary 22-year-old told WCVB.
Tran said she tried to stop the moving car by bracing herself behind it, but could not. Screaming, she laid down behind the wheels. A neighbor then rushed over and applied the brake. Tran spoke from the Boston-area hospital where she was airlifted. The courageous mom is recovering from a broken leg and a dislocated shoulder and hip.
"I had to use myself as a speed bump to slow it down enough for one of my neighbors to get in and completely stop the car," she said.
Lawrence Fire Department Chief John Marsh said the vehicle had rolled and stopped on top of Tran, pinning her underneath.
"Firefighters responded to the apartment and they stabilized the car with wooden blocks and then used an airbag to lift the car off Tran," Marsh said.
"It felt like I was starting a new life," Tran said. "The girls had started at daycare and we just moved in. It seems like when things are going too well, something bad will happen."
The Huffington Post writes: "The maternal instinct is often associated with tender, nurturing care. But given a dash of adrenaline, it becomes an entirely different creature." Tran knows this all too well.
"My daughters are my everything," Tran said. "It was all for my kids. I'm just glad my kids are fine."
Tran is now in a wheelchair and awaiting surgery, but insists she did what any parent would do. "I don't consider myself a hero," she told ABC. "I am just a mother."
Several media outlets have picked up this remarkable story, and social media users have applauded her brave efforts.

Kate Beckinsale looked like the definition of style at a Tod's boutique event. Paired with simple black peep-toe pumps, this bright indigo can really shine. We know it's tempting, but the key to this sleek style is to not over accessorize.
Snag the look for way less with the Cowl Front Tunic ($33) in cobalt by Akira. No wrinkle worries weigh you down in this draped jersey dresses, and it can easily for from casual to chic night out. The model and Kate even have the same ideas with the hair: rock the loose waves. Simply pin the back up in a messy bun, throw on a bracelet and heels, and step out on the town feelin' like a goddess.
