With New York City as a backdrop, photographer Richard Nesbit has presented a colorful collection of his poignant, "one of a kind", candid street moments, coupled with contemplative quotes from the literary and entertainment world. Created with his photos from Central Park to Coney Island, and everywhere in-between, each page has been crafted to surprise, entertain, and inspire. Presented on superior qualtiy, semi-matte, semi-gloss, archival grade paper, this beautifully bound keepsake makes an original gift, as well as a collector's item that will increase in value with the passing of time.
Upon returning from a 2005 mission trip with Habitat for Humanity in Eastern Europe, Richard's photography caught the eye of the administration at Carl Zeiss Lens. He subsequently sold over 100 canvas reproductions of his images to decorate the offices, hallways, and conference rooms of their New York corporate headquarters.. Over the years his work has been sold at charity auctions and to private collectors, A public exhibition of canvas prints was displayed in the popular Upper West Side neighborhood restaurant "The Shining Star" and his work has appeared throughout the cyber world in websites, online news articles, and travel sites. He has also been commissioned for portraiture, book-jacket cover, and head-shot work. Enjoying the camaraderie of friends and other photographers, Richard continues to exercise his craft with his daily postings on social media sites Facebook and Flickr. This is his first published work, and he is looking forward to the creation of his next book.

Nov. 28, 2011
PULLMAN, Wash. - Washington State University had nine student-athletes receive All-Pac-12 Conference recognition including three named to the second team, the conference announced Monday.
Linebacker Alex Hoffman-Ellis, defensive end Travis Long and wide receiver Marquess Wilson were each placed on the second team. Offensive linemen John Fullington, David Gonzales and B.J. Guerra along with cornerback Damante Horton, wide receiver Jared Karstetter and defensive lineman Brandon Rankin each received honorable mention.
Hoffman-Ellis caps his WSU career with his first all-conference selection after posting a team-high 88 tackles, good for seventh in the conference which included a conference-leading 68 solo stops in his 12 starts. The Los Angeles native finished with 11 tackles-for-loss, a pair of sacks and one interception he returned for a touchdown.
Long, a junior, earns all-conference honors for the third consecutive season after making 42 tackles, 31 solo including a team-best 12 tackles-for-loss, good for a tie for fifth in the conference. The Spokane native started all 12 games and also led the Cougs with four sacks.
Wilson picks up his second career all-conference accolade after setting WSU single-season records for receptions (82) and receiving yards (1,388) while tying Jason Hill for the second most touchdown catches with 12. The Tulare, Calif. native posted six 100-yard performances and was the only player in the conference to eclipse the 200-yard twice (236 - at San Diego State, 223 - Arizona State). Among the Pac-12 ranks, Wilson, a sophomore, led the conference in receiving yards, receiving yards per game (115.7), was second in touchdowns and third in catches.
Fullington earns his first career all-conference honor after starting all 12 games at left guard as a sophomore. Gonzales closes out his Cougar career with his first career accolade after starting all 12 games at left tackle and Guerra earns honorable mention for the second straight year after starting all 12 games at right guard.
Horton, receives his first career all-conference honor after tying for the conference lead with four interceptions, returning one for a touchdown. The sophomore also finished with 31 tackles, three pass break ups and two forced fumbles. Rankin picks up his first career all-conference accolade in his final season at WSU, making 20 tackles, 12 solo and 4.5 for loss.
Karstetter caps his Cougar career with his third straight honorable mention accolade after finishing second on the team with 60 catches for a career-high 700 yards and six touchdowns. The Spokane native finished his career with 166 career catches, the fourth most in WSU history and 19 career touchdown catches, good for third all-time in program history.

Letter from New York, 9-20: Fringe with the Frilly on Top
The Bearable Lightness of a Barely Curated Festival
By Philip W. Sandstrom
Copyright 2007 Philip W. Sandstrom
NEW YORK -- The New York International Fringe Festival invaded New York City from August 10 through 26, spreading new and original works of
theater and dance around town. I was pleasantly surprised to
see that dance was represented by seven companies. I saw six of them.
Some of the venues, which were carved out of industrial loft space,
old store fronts, and hidden back rooms, were new to this
reviewer. Others, like New York University's Skirball Center, provided lush and comfortable settings, which challenged the work presented within by raising
the bar by which the performance is judged.
The international theme was a stretch for the dance presentations.
There was but one company/artist of international origin, Isabelle Barbat from Paris. Nonetheless the United States at large was widely represented by Ledges and Bones Dance Project from Los Angeles; Movement Forum from Salt Lake
City; MN2 Productions from Cleveland; Anatomical
Scenario Movement Theater from Columbus, Ohio; and New York's Vissi Dance
Each company was provided with four to five performances in the
same venue but at different times of the day. For most companies
the performances were spread across both weeks of the festival,
which prevented direct conflicts with other dance performances on
the festival.
The Fringe provided an opportunity to view dance work that was
essentially self-curated. The festival chose from work submitted
by the dance companies to the festival. In general the festival is
very generous in its process of choosing. The curatorial vision
appears to be: variety of style, exciting concepts, and catchy
titles that may attract audience interest. On the positive side,
this process allows the dance audience to see work that they might
otherwise miss.
Each company had a viewpoint and a unique idea. In all cases
it was obvious that much thought and genuine hard work was behind
the idea -- it was apparent that the choreographers and dancers
believed in their dance. But in some cases the idea was not new;
it had been explored before by many others. In other cases the work
was unevenly executed, or the idea didn't really work as a dance.
The strongest group piece was "Unrest" from the Ledges and Bones
Dance Project, choreographed by Holly Johnston and performed in the
Linhart Theatre @ 440 Studios. Johnston has worked with Victoria Marks
and it showed in a good way. The quirky movements provide many
moments of unpredictability. Starting with an eccentric solo,
danced by the choreographer, that made good use of the floor,
Johnston quickly changed gears into group work that more clearly
reflected her smart use of timing. By juxtaposing entrances and
exits with accumulation which came together in a less than
predictable pattern she piqued our interest in would
come next and why. Unfortunately, the dancers were not up to the
choreography, appearing to be either under rehearsed or not quite up
to the level necessary to do justice to the dance. With the
exception of the last section of the dance, Johnston's effective
use of simple electronic music enhanced the movement patterns and
seemed to propel the motion and define each section of the dance
like an asynchronous metronome. Unfortunately, as the music built
in intensity throughout the evening the dynamic nature of the
movement remained the same: lovely, pleasing, unpredictable,
consistently interesting but with the same steady energy.
Consequently by the last section of the dance section the volume,
intensity, and frenetic nature of the music overtook the dance,
spoiling the effect of the dance and destroying a well planned
choreographic experience. Nonetheless, Johnston, who has been
named by Dance Magazine as one of the top 25 to watch in 2007, is
indeed someone to follow. I would absolutely attend her next
choreographic endeavor, hoping for hoping for more congenial music
and stronger dancing.
The most powerful dance performance was "Requiem Pour une ame
Seule" choreographed and performed by Isabelle Barbat. A giant of
a performer, Barbat's voice and her physical presence seemed to fill the
Gene Frankel Theater even when she was still. She began prone,
slowly shaking and rising, holding our attention through the
intensity of her minimal movements, which eventually mimicked
childbirth. Upon rising she walked in a deliberate fashion around
the stage emitting moan-like sounds in her mezzo-sopranic voice
which had no direction, almost ventriloquist-like in nature. Its
haunting quality was all-encompassing in nature. She slowly built to
an emotional frenzy while standing in a doorway facing
upstage and singing unintelligibly to great effect. Her back was
brightly lit and etched in space. The idea of grieving and pain
was readily apparent in Barbat's trembling torso as she made full use of
her voice's dynamic range. I only wished for a clearer image of her
well-muscled back, which was broken by a disturbing bra strap
anchored horizontally across its rippled surface. Just when the
abstractions where taking hold in my mind and she had my attention
firmly in her grasp, Barbat left the doorway and began moving towards
the audience and singing "Sometimes I feel like a Motherless
Child." I held my head in horror and bowed it in depression. How
could she introduce a song of this nature, actually any song, as
the ending moment of what had been up to this point a riveting
performance experience? I left trying to blot the song from my
memory for the remainder of the day.
In the arena of old ideas/lame ideas I place the Anatomical
Scenario Movement Theater's production of "Anna and the Annadroids:
Clone Zone," choreographed by Anna Sullivan and performed in the Linhart
Theatre @ 440 Studios. This was a one-act dance and video relaying
the vicissitudes of the valium-medicated suburban girl who freaks
out at her own birthday party by nodding out into her own birthday
cake. Her delusional dreams, shown in a video, centered on the
downer effects of her favorite drug. Upon awaking moments later,
although we were subjected to the extended dream version in the
video, she runs from the party vowing never to drop downers again.
The dance looked like robotic cheerleaders in white face, jumping,
tottering, and gyrating their way around the stage.
As for old ideas that have been explored by others we had the
"Ancestral Voices," presented by MN2 Productions, choreographed by
Natalie Kapeluck and Mark Tomasic and performed in the Linhart
Theatre @ 440 Studios.The piece was based on Ukrainian folk songs and
consisted of stories told and sung by Nadia Tarnawsky and danced by
Tomasic and others. Each dance, done in a faux Limon fashion, was
disappointingly presented and performed.
As for ideas that should never have been made into a dance we had
"The Hoard," presented by the Vissi Dance Theater and performed in
the Skirball. Written, directed, and choreographed
by Courtney Ffrench (sic) this dance drama tells the tale of two
tribes or peoples, the conquerors and the conquered. Through the
portrayal of the peaceful tribe being attacked, conquered, and
subsumed by the Hoarde tribe we see the incubation of revenge,
which is meted out by the conquered queen upon the conquering king
through betrayal, filicide, and finally murder.
As a story we quickly get the idea, and the program tells us what
is going on in each section of the dance. It's a combination of
Judith killing Holofernes to save the Israelites, and Medea
killing her children to punish Jason. But, why a dance? Why not
an opera? Why not a movie starring the gun-toting Jody Foster?
An epic of this nature is difficult for the most talented of
companies. "The Hoarde" lacked the strong choreography necessary to
keep the dance consistently interesting and Vissi Dance Theater
lacked the classical trained dancers necessary to perform the
larger-than-life roles required. In this case the Skirball was the
correct theater for this work; unfortunately the dance did not live
up to the venue.
Finally, another old idea with a semi-fresh approach, "The Game" by
Movement Forum, began as a fun playful improv theater-like dance,
which appeared interesting from a stand-up comedy viewpoint. The
premise was that each dancer was a contestant. They competed for
applause as they performed dance moves in response to ideas and
concepts set forth by the "announcer," not the audience. We were
left out of the equation. The first few contests held promise for
a fun filled evening but the dance soon devolved into a
contrivance. By the end we could not tell why the dancers were
eliminated from the competition or why the final dancer won. There
was little information to allow the audience to gauge the nature of
the competition or the nature of the judging or whether our
applause really counted for anything. The vacuous nature of the
rules quickly sapped me of enthusiasm.
The Fringe dance experience lent itself to variety and
unpredictable performances. Although the fare was less than
satisfactory, the concept of intra-national presentations was
inviting. I expect to see more dance companies from around the
country and for that matter around the world on next year's Fringe
and will continue to hope for better results.

I would add a bouncer seat to that list - don't get one of the crazy expensive ones because LO grows out if it fast, but it's a handy thing to have - especially if your baby has a little reflux.posted 11/26/2012 by clark27
Most places have a registry checklist that will cover everything... though keep in mind you might not really need all the things it suggests. Also, you can register at Babies R Us and Target, they have different models of similar items (ie they both have 2 different colors/patterns of the same Fisher Price baby swing) Plus some things will be on sale at one vs. the other. You will also get registry completion coupons from each of them to use for 10% off a one time purchase to get the rest of the things off your registry so make sure to put ALL the stuff on there, even little things like pacifiers, baby lotion, etc.... might as well get the discount on stuff you're going to be buying anyway!!posted 01/14/2013 by themommaduck6

Ji Hong Ahn in "The Girl in the Moon"
Senior Filmmaker Spotlight: Ji Hong Ahn
Screening at Double Exposure (CCA Film final screening)
Thursday, May 8, 7 p.m.
Timken Lecture Hall
Ji Hong Ahn's latest film, The Girl in the Moon, was conceived as he looked toward his last semester at CCA. "I began to wonder what it would be like if someone could be completely detached from his/her responsibilities and burdens.
"Are we ever truly free from them no matter what we do? It was just a passing thought, but it became a perpetual one as I started to feel the pressure of graduating and looking for a full-time job."
A so-called third-culture kid, Ji Hong was born in South Korea, but raised in the Philippines before coming to the United States. His work at CCA reflects both this experience in its preoccupation with characters who exist outside of expected social norms, the beauty of everyday life, and the relationship of that beauty to loss and estrangement.
Prior to his latest piece, he directed a pair of beautiful, melancholic, and deeply philosophical films whose subjects and narratives occurred primarily off-screen: The Girl in the Moon signals a return to his work with on-screen characters, but in a far from conventional manner.
Don't miss this unique blend of manga and poetic film aesthetics at the Double Exposure screening.

|2009 Miles That Changed My Life
tour started June 2011, submitted 4 January 2012
People deal with the plights of life differently. When something major happens, some become mentally paralyzed and others just go and do. I was getting to that point where I couldn't do anything, so I decided to do something that wouldn't let me hibernate-I biked the Pacific Coast by myself. Vancouver to Squamish to Bowen Island, back down through Vancouver to Washington, through the Islands, over the Olympic Penn., and then down the WA, OR, & CA coast.
2009 miles that changed my life forever

My plan is simple: ride as long as it is fun!
In July 2007 I closed the door behind me to start my first trike tour. I had no idea how far I would get and this tour took me from Canada to Guatemala. I had such a good time I continued on spending 9 months cycling New Zealand and Australia. In 2009 I cycled through Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand.
|East by Northwest - 2008 solo cycle tour across North America
tour started March 2008, submitted 24 August 2010
From mid-March until late October of 2008 I cycled some 13,000 kilometres (8100 miles) across North America. I started from Victoria, British Columbia, slowly making my way north by bike and ferry to Anchor Point, Alaska, the most westerly point in North America reachable by continuous road from elsewhere on the continent. From Anchor Point I headed more or less south east, but not in a straight line, taking my time to explore and to visit, letting the wind and my whim dictate my route, eventually arriving at Cape Spear, Newfoundland, the most easterly place in North America.
|Montreal - New York City Tour
tour started September 2009, submitted 7 August 2010
I have heard so much about the beautiful Hwy 100 which mainly winds down Vermont. Starting at Montreal, which is worth more as a day. I remember, when mountains appeared at the skyline, and a Canadian bicyclist said: you will find hundreds of them, if you ride down to NYC. He was right...! NYC, a place for bicyclists. Car drivers are friendly - never closing a path gap. Police are friendly. If I would get a Dollar for crossing an intersection on red, I would be a millionaire...
The Central park: a huge bike way, which closes in a round 5 miles circle. Some bikers doing city races. Hard to follow. I have been staying for 10 days in NYC, did my daily exercise in crossing the city to the Hudson river bike path. Very recommended bicycle path. Starting at the Statue of Liberty, ending at the Harlem river mouth. Good luck to all the followers!

|A Bicycle Trip to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island July 2003
tour started 2003, submitted 25 November 2009
For the last many summers, we have visited the islands of the Eastern Atlantic seabord: Lofoten in Norway, the Outer Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland in Scotland, Ireland, Wales which is not an island, but might as well be one, and Gotland in Sweden which is an island, but in the Baltic, not in the Atlantic. The time had now come, we thought, to cross the Atlantic and see what it looks like on the other side. As islands seem to be our preferred locations, we chose Prince Edward Island (PEI in the local vocabulary) in Canada which has the advantage of being fairly small and not too hilly.

We're cycling 25 000 km across the Americas from Alaska to Argentina to raise funds for Cyclo Nord Sud, a non-profit that sends used bicycles to developing countries. As ambassadors for this organization, we will meet with Cyclo Nord Sud's Latin American partners and hopefully create contacts with new ones along the way.
We're a francophone/anglophone couple from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. We're each adding original content in our respective languages, so our blog is a 2 for 1. Enjoy!

En tant qu'ambassadeur, nous visiterons leurs partenaires en Amérique latine et créerons de nouveaux contacts.
|Across North America on a Yellow submarine
tour started July 2009, submitted 18 August 2009
The lack of traffic brings wildlife closer to the road. He sees two cranes, some kind of partridge with a crest on its head, a fox and a strange black creature the size of a big cat with long fat tail (a wolverine maybe?). There is also a bird who sings refrain 'We all live in a yellow submarine'. This becomes a hit for the rest of the tour, especially the beginning 'In the toooown, where I was boooorn, lived a maaaaan, who sailed the seeeeeas', as this is all Mr. Iik can remember from the song.

2007 was the year of cycling across Canada, the headwindy way - of course :) After this 9000km trip now he is in the planning stage of the South-American tour for 2009.
|From Oregon to the Yukon
tour started 2007, submitted 11 March 2009
Two months of cycling from Portland, OR to Whitehorse, Yukon in four segments. 1) Solo- Portland, OR to Seattle WA via the Pacific Coast. 2) Solo- Victoria, BC to Cortes Islands, BC to Vancouver, BC. 3) with Nick C. and Stacy: Vancouver, BC to Port Hardy, BC via the Sunshine Coast. 4) with Nick P. Prince Rupert, BC to Whitehorse, Yukon via the Cassiar Highway.
The first three segments were very civilized with camping in state/provincial parks and beautiful summer weather (except the occasional rain storm). The final segment was 12 days of intense cycling (100+km per day), rustic camping, many, many bears, but some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever cycled.

|Canada C2C 2008 - Biking Canada Coast 2 Coast

In the spring and summer of 2008 my husband Mike and I cycled 9450 km across Canada from Victoria BC to St. John's NL. We were joined for almost all of this trip by our friend and long time cycling companion Mark.
I took a small computer and we were able to keep a blog for the entire trip. Our website is full of stories, detailed maps, pictures, and links. I hope you find it interesting.
All in all, we had a fantastic trip through a country full of stunning landscapes and wonderful, warm, welcoming people. A ride across Canada is truly one of the world's great bicycle adventures. I highly recommended it!

tour started November 2008, submitted 6 April 2008
Two Poole based intrepid travellers are setting off on a journey of a lifetime to raise funds for a local charity, Julia's House and the international charity, SOS Children's Villages.
Kelly and Dave will be starting in Ushuaia, at the Southern tip of Argentina in South America and will cycle to Alaska, the extreme northwest portion of the North American continent.
They anticipate that they will be on the road for up to 2 years, facing extreme weather conditions and the challenging terrain that the American continent has to offer. They plan to cycle the world's driest desert and the high altitude mountain regions of the Andes.
By doing the trip by bicycle they are hoping it will bring them closer to the environment and learn about the ever changing world that we live in and aim to leave minimal impact upon the environment.
|Journals of a few modest bike tours in the Western US and Canada
tour started January 2007, submitted 4 December 2007
I live in Berkeley, California and my friend John lives in Los Angeles. Since 2003 we've been getting together each year to do a modest 7-12 day bike tour. Our criteria include, if possible, light traffic, beautiful scenery, reasonable odds for good weather, and no more than 80 miles between indoor accommodations (so we don't have to lug camping gear). The journals of other bike tourists have been so helpful in planning these trips I thought I should share ours as well. As of 2007 we've ridden on the Oregon Coast, the Central Oregon High Desert, Wyoming (Yellowstone NP, Teton NP, Wind River Valley), Sunshine Coast of British Columbia and Vancouver Island, and Southwest Utah (Zion, Bryce & Capitol Reef NP).

We're Andrew & Friedel Grant - two Canadians who, after living in the UK for 6 years, have set off to travel the world by bicycle. We had no previous bike touring experience when we began, having really only gotten into cycling at the start of 2006, and when we say we ``got into cycling'' that means short commutes to work along flat cycle paths and the odd day trip, that usually ended up at the pub. We're still not quite certain how that translated into the situation where Friedel said ``hey, let's bike around the world'' and Andrew said ``sure, why not''. The first leg of our tour was in Canada, then through Europe to Morocco. We will keep cycling around the world; hopefully next towards eastern Europe and the Middle East.
|Banff, Canada to Montana, USA - Back Country with Lodging
tour started September 2005, submitted 25 February 2007
This trip had riders and non riders alike. This might be the most beautiful experience in Canada that any American can have. Even the cabin in the woods (which outside of no electricity and running water, was phenomenal - see pics from day 3) was impressive. Non riders could hike in and out to this location, or spend 2 nights in Elkford. Only the motel in Elkford was modest - even though it also had high speed internet. The remaining accommodations would all be rated 3 or 4 stars, yet were very modestly priced. While food selections were limited in some locations, the food was outstanding in others. All in all, I would not be afraid to take even the most seasoned traveler on this trip.
There is a button that details each day of our trip. Lots of pictures, my diary of what happened each day, and I've posted both the original itinerary as well as the packing list (which turned out to be just right). The map we used was from the Adventure Cycling Association, and it was right on! It only lacked good information about climbing. I've added that myself as I uploaded it from my GPS.
|Spinning Southward - Alaska to Argentina for Brain Tumor Research
tour started July 2005, submitted 16 November 2006
America: USA, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, ElSalvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, CostaRica, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina
In 2002, my brother Mike and I began to talk about an epic, tip to tail, bicycle trip spanning the length of the Americas. At the time, however, our geographic separation and respective professional endeavors would force us to shelve our dream ride and hope for more accommodating circumstances. Two years later, that opportunity presented itself in the fall of 2004 when our lives converged in the mountains of Colorado. Over the course of our stay in Colorado, my brother and I began laying the groundwork for a bicycle trip that would take us from the far northern shores of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina, the southern most city in the world. On July 26, 2005, having cleared all financial and logistical hurdles, we will start pedaling on the long road south.
The motivation for our trip is a reflection of our life-long ambitions - to explore new places, to make meaningful connections with other people and cultures, and to test the boundaries of our physical endurance and mental resolve. These ambitions are inspired by the enduring spirit of our late mother, Jean, herself an accomplished world traveler who always supported and encouraged our explorations of the world. We dedicate this trip to her memory.
In 1996, our mother Jean was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor that took her life in the winter of the same year. To honor our mother's lasting legacy and help those confronting the same illness that eventually took her life, Spinning Southward has partnered with Racing Ahead®, a program created by the National Brain Tumor Foundation that celebrates the passion of cyclists, runners and other athletes. NBTF is a non-profit organization dedicated to innovative brain tumor research and patient care. We are committed to raising both financial support and awareness for the NBTF through our nine-month, 15,000-mile ride across 13 countries. We hope that our ride will inspire you to join us in support of this worthy cause through a contribution to Jean's Journey.

|Vancouver to Montreal on Bike
tour started May 2001, submitted 8 February 2006
We awoke to cloudless skies and a strong headwind. Breaking camp we hit the road only to learn that Saskatchewan highways don't always have paved shoulders. We assumed the alpha formation whereby Nick takes point and Dave is the rear guard. Appearing inebriated, Dave would sometimes swerve into the road to scare cars into the far lane. Making possibly the smartest decision of his life, Dave stopped to ask road workers if we could have two pairs of disposable earplugs to drown out the wind. These were great for the moral and allowed us to phase out of this world and create sci-fi stories which became entertainment for our breaks.
As we were getting into Maidstone, Dave got a flat back tire. Inspection of said tire revealed multiple punctures: two staples, three pieces of glass and a small rock. These had all managed to work there way through Dave's ``Perfect'' (brand name) tire. Much to Nick's dismay Dave decided to swap front and back tires. This took a few hours since Dave makes bike repairs at a Tectonic pace. As we mounted our Cromoly steeds Nick realized that he too had a flat tire. (Just ask us about road tar, we dare you) Dave's response: You're shitting me, right?

In previous years, Super Bowl Sunday has been renamed Good Commercials Sunday in my household. Then we heard about the Kitten Bowl from the Hallmark Channel. So my two cats, both adopted from the local animal shelter, and I studied the line-up and cast our votes. Bob the Wonder Cat was favoring the North Shore Bengals, while Miss Kitty gave two paws up to Home & Family Felines.
Here's the play-by-play as we saw it:
- TV personality and animal activist Beth Stern rocked our house. Every time that he heard her voice, Bob ran around in circles, purred and tossed his favorite furry mouse high in the air.
- When emcee John Sterling spoke, Miss Kitty listened. She was so overwhelmed by his calls that she fell asleep (sorry, John).
- Meows rang through the house when Tim Teepaw let the fur fly. Although Miss Kitty is spayed, she woke up with a jump and ran over to stare intently at the screen. Could there be a platonic relationship in the future?
- A time-out for unnecessary cuteness was called in our home when Bob decided he needed to wash Miss Kitty's ears and they both purred so loudly that they drowned out the TV.
Overall, bonus paws for whisker wisdom on this show. To quote the feline observers:
- Bob the Wonder Cat: "Rescue rocks! Adopt today."
- Miss Kitty: "Meeeow."

How to Find Happiness – A Balanced Life
Key to Happiness #14 – A Balanced Life
Family, work, health, ministry, leisure, God, civic duties, friends, etc. are all areas that fight for our time. Finding balance is not a simple process…it takes discipline.
There are certain times in our lives where one or two of the above areas seem to consume every minute of our time. I sure struggle with this sometimes. I remember when I was in my twenties and I was really into exercising. I literally worked out seven to eight hours per day. I'd run several miles, then swim for two hours, then do weights and leg lifts for another few hours. I was in great shape, however, other parts of my life where non existent or were seriously lacking.
Then, in my late twenties and early thirties, I was really focused on work. I could work sixty hours per week and still want to work more. I had to prove I was the best!
My next phase was when I was very involved in church…always busy doing something. Don't get me wrong…there is nothing wrong with working hard and being involved in good causes. At the same time, if your family life is suffering and therefore it costs you your marriage or you lose your health over it – or even worse, if it costs you your soul, it is not worth it! I think we all know people that have had such outcomes. It's always easier to see the imbalance in other peoples' lives so it is helpful to examine our own every so often.
Prioritizing and balancing our activities is very helpful, however, in my opinion, the only way to find true balance is to have God in the center of all our activities. Only then will we find true balance and happiness.
God wants to be the center of our universe. We are made that way. "In His presence is fullness of joy." Ps 16:11
Any time we replace him with something else from the outside, we are literally putting something in the way of true happiness and contentment.
Here are some scripture that talk about our priorities:
Matthew 6:33 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; …
Matthew 22:36-40 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Philippians 3:7-8 "But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ…"
Scheduling your time:
The only way we can get balanced is to schedule times for our activities. We start with the most important areas and work our way down to the least. Some should be daily activities like praying (preferably with your spouse) and spending time in the word. Other activities like exercise might be 3 times per week, etc. It is important to note that if you have never exercised or read the Bible, I suggest you start small and build up so you won't get burned out. Start with just 5 minutes per day reading the Bible for example and add as you grow. The same with exercise – don't commit to one hour of exercising if you have never done it. Just start with a few minutes once or twice per week and as you feel motivated add additional time.
In addition, don't work 7 days per week. Take off a day and relax to re-charge your batteries.
Keys to happiness exercise:
- Ask God for help and direction (ask Jesus into your life if you have not done so already… He's your guide, your helper and your key to happiness).
- Set some time aside to set your priorities
- Set a schedule that is workable.

May you find happiness by balancing your life! We hope these tips help you get started.

SECAUCUS, N.J. – Washington State junior outfielder Yale Rosen was selected by the San Diego Padres in the 11th round of the 2014 MLB First-Year Player Draft, Saturday. He was the 327th player taken overall.
He was the first of four Cougars to be drafted, Saturday. The Houston Astros selected Nick Tanielu in the 14th round followed by Tanner Chleborad to the Baltimore Orioles in the 16th round and Collin Slaybaugh becoming property of the New York Yankees in the 26th round.
Rosen was the only Cougar to start all 54 games for Washington State in 2014. He batted .294 with 13 doubles, two triples, five home runs and 28 RBI. His round trippers are tied for eighth in the Pac-12.
"Before I left Pullman at the end of the season, I talked with the (WSU) coaching staff about my intentions to start my professional career," Rosen said. "I had a chance to work out for the Padres in San Diego a couple of days ago and there are some really good people in the organization. I am going to have an opportunity to play in Eugene, Ore., in the Northwest League, so this is a very exciting time."
A native of Oak Harbor, Wash., Rosen led the Cougars in slugging percentage each of the last two years. His 63 RBI combined in 2013-14 was top at Washington State.
Rosen is the eighth Cougar all-time to be drafted by the Padres and the first in 21 years. He joins pitcher Joe McIntosh (13th round, 1973), pitcher Bob Sherwood (25th round, 1977), second baseman Dan Wodrich (35th round, 1980), shortstop Paul Noce (14th round, 1981), pitcher Marty Kain (22nd round, 1981), pitcher Mike Costello (10th round, 1984) and pitcher Mark Hendrickson (21st round, 1993). McIntosh reached the big leagues with San Diego while Noce and Hendrickson each made their MLB debut with another club.

Need Help with Buttons on Clip Zip
The Clip Zip destroyed my reading experience yesterday afternoon and I
was ready for a refund. I wished wholeheartedly that I had invested the
money in another new Clip+ which except for rewind problem Is PERFECT
for audio books. So far I cannot say that about the Zip.
I loaded a ripped book that had worked perfectly on Clip+, picked up in the
middle of it on the Zip and was thinking what a fine choice I had made.
When I wanted to go back to Settings to set turn off time in sleep I knew
I was in trouble BECAUSE THERE IS NO HOME BUTTON.
I knew from loading that the right side of the player will take me from
Music to Settings etc. some of the time. When I tried that move the Zip
went back and began searching in the book itself, I lost my place and I
was burned! When I got back on the disk I needed the Zip gave me
this white screen that asked did I want a new start or did I want to resume. Would you believe that command was grayed out and It just
kept going back to the beginning of the CD. I finally got back almost to
where I was but how I don't know. Why give a resume command if it
doesn't work?
Which button should I have hit to go to settings and stay with my book?
For years SanDisk has given 0 instruction for books and this is no different. Somewhere there should be a tree of the main categories
on the player and the buttons are poorly explained.
What is the Back Button for exactly? I really miss the track info and other
items on the Clip+ for books. Why no home button? I know this is long
but I feel like I've been taken for a $100 for two of these!

Have you tried experimenting using the back button, either single or double-clicking it? That may give you some of what you want (I don't have my Clip Zip in front of me to experiment, but have used the back button in this regards before). And I agree, not having home button, after 3 years of having one, is a bit of an adjustment.
Help with Buttons for Audiobooks
Thanks for your answering my rant which is what it is. I do not bow to defeat easily. Yes, I found that the Back button will take me to settings for sleep set and then with a few clicks it will take me back to the book.
Is it a HOME Button in disguise?
The resume button does respond to the up and down buttons but why
would the command be in gray to look as if it would not work.
I just think everything is upside down on this machine and yes I will learn how to use it. We do need the track info, in fact all the book info that is
on the Clip+. Why they threw that out is beyond me!
Thanks again and I'm loading an Overdrive book now with no trouble so
it will be interesting to see how it works.
You know, if Sandisk had fixed Clip+ rewind problem????? Oh Well!
As I said, I found the Back button a bit confusing (I think just like you) and my fingers just started pressing it in a variety of ways under automatic pilot until I saw that it seemed to do what (we all) want it to do. It, indeed, seems to be a Home button in drag (or an uber-Home button--I'm not sure which).
And ranting about technology and manufacturer "silly" decisions? I'm glad I don't do that (more than every other hour).
SanDisk has shown that it can be responsive, and I'm really hoping that people tell it what needs to be implemented/brought back, at the SanDisk Clip Zip forum.
For me, it's the info. that's missing on the music what's playing screen: the time elapsed/remaining, and the track no./total tracks no. info. I'm guessing that the info. was deleted for aesthetics, but form over function never works for me.
But the nice thing with a new device, with firmware that can be upgraded (as SanDisk has done in the past with the Clip firmware), is that, well, the firmware can be upgraded. I'm hoping it will be, with enhancements of the above type. Let 'em know!
By the way, I read just earlier today that Overdrive works perfectly with the Clip Zip--good luck! I haven't used Overdrive yet, and I'm intrigued (and need to). Audible books don't currently work on the Clip Zip--Audible, apparently, needs to release a Clip Zip device profile plug-in for the Audible manager used to transfer books (and is working on it--hopefully for yet this month?). Score one for the public library!
On the Clip+, the Home button is the small button to the right and above the regular keypad. The description on page 3 of the Clip+ Manual is "Returns to the Main Menu; press-and-hold to lock or unlock".
On the Clip Zip, the Back button is above and to the left of the regular keypad. The description of the Back button on page 4 of the Clip Zip Users Guide is "Press and Hold to return to the Main Menu; press once to go back".
Since I don't own a Clip Zip, I can't test this.
Good Luck, Steve
Buttons on Clip Zip
Thanks for all the great ideas.
I will write more later about my OverDrive experience and the Home Button
in Drag. What a great name for it--so creative!
I've tried to get back into the SanDisk forums and they won't take my user name as they say it is someone else's since they have never heard of me or my password. Sounds a lot like the buttons on the Clip Zip.
I love this forum and the help that you all give.

EVGA GeForce GTX 770 SC review -
Product Showcase
Product Showcase
If we rotate the card and look at the backside we can see two SLI connectors, so in theory four cards in quad-SLI GPU mode are supported. Quad SLI however is difficult and often a maze of driver problems, Nvidia has never really recommended and actively supported quad-SLI. But for a handful of benchmarks and sheer e-peen, it will work OK'ish. We really recommend to go with a maximum of 2 maybe three cards.
Each GeForce GTX 770 will have a maximum power design of 230 Watts, but they are made to overclock as well. As such Nvidia is using one 150W 8-pin PEG, and one 75W 6-pin PEG (PCI EXpress Graphics) connector. Another 75 to 150 Watts is delivered though the PCI slot and thus motherboard. This should be plenty for a decent overclocking session.
Here we see the EVGA card (you can find it under SKU code 02G-P4-2774-KR) installed on our test bench.
So overall you are going to witness some pretty interesting stuff in the upcoming days. That's it for this photoshoot though. We need to tell you a tale or two about the GPU and the architecture. Let's march onwards.
In this review we test the EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti SC SuperClocked ACX review, armed with that 450W cooler and our FLIR camera we'll see if it really is good cooling. Oh and hey, SC means a factory o...

Khloe Kardashian found a good way to get back at her ex-husband, Lamar Odom, who allegedly cheated and used drugs during the marriage. She's posting pictures of herself and rapper The Game on her Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. According to She Knows, March 10, 2014, Khloe is going around town with The Game.
Rumors are rampant that Lamar Odom is jealous that Khloe and The Game are seeing each other. He believes Khloe is using it as a revenge tactic. Although Khloe and The Game deny there is anything going on between them, the pictures might give Lamar reason to think otherwise.
In February, The Game explained his relationship with Khloe while on the on the BBC Radio, "Charlie Sloth Show." He said, "Those are just rumors. It's funny cause me and Khloe, we cool. I've been knowing Khloe for 12 years. I went and dated Kim for a little while, a little short while. A long time ago." Although The Game did hint that he used to date Kim Kardashian before she hooked up with Kanye West.
Lamar is in Spain, playing for Laboral Kutxa for at least two months. He believes when he gets back to the United States, he and Khloe will reconcile. On Us Weekly, Lamar said, "I love my wife. She'll always be my wife — no matter what."
So, who do you think is telling the truth? Do you believe Khloe when she said there is nothing going on between her and The Game? Do you think that Lamar has a chance to get Khloe back? Let me know your thoughts.

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
Mallory McDonald gets fouled twice on her way to the basket during Friday night's victory over the Lady Bobcats of Myrtle Point. McDonald would score three points in the game. The Pilot/Jef Hatch
The Brookings-Harbor High School girls basketball team dropped 19 points in the first quarter Friday night on their way to a 63-28 victory over the Bandon Tigers.
"Our team did really good," senior Brianna Juarez said following the game.
Juarez had seven points and a number of rebounds on the night, but was outshone by fellow senior Kambri Coleman who splashed 21 points on the board with a 3-pointer in three of the four quarters she played.
"They played well," Head Coach Chris Schofield said. "I'm really pleased with them tonight."
The first quarter was a smash-and-grab job as Bandon couldn't break the Bruin press and turned over the ball numerous times, which resulted in fast-break points for the Lady Bruins.
The Bruins kept the flames lit under the boiling pot that was the Tigers' offense in the second quarter and scored 16 while limiting their opponent to just two.
The third quarter saw the Bruins pull back into a zone defense and slow the game down a little. The Hatcher sisters provided all of the scoring in the third, with Lakota putting in six of her eight and Shawndee dropping two.
The Lady Bruins caught fire in the fourth quarter, scoring twenty with spot-on shooting by Coleman and co-senior Maysea Young who had 10 points for the game.
"The world is always better when you shoot well," Schofield said. "And we shot well tonight."
Other key contributors: Josey Glazebrook, six; Whitney Floyd, four; Mallory McDonald, three; and Iva Hart, two.
The Lady Bruins will face the Lady Bobcats of Myrtle Point in the tournament championship game at 5 p.m. tonight (Dec. 10).

Two minutes in the box with Panthers D Steve Montador
Q: What's something visitors to your house should definitely see?
A: "Probably the drum I bought from the kids in Africa. They charged us maybe 12 bucks, but I think it's real animal hide. I don't know what kind, but they made it in a few days and gave it to us. That's one of the ways they support themselves…they make money through dance and song festivals and then the things they sell. [The drum] is pretty neat. It just sits there in my living room and I bang on it once in a while."
Q: Do you have any musical talent?
A: "I wish I could say yes, but not at all. I sing in the shower with the best of them, that's about it."
Q: What's something you're skilled at besides playing hockey?
A: "I'm a really good Free-Cell player. I'm a pretty good Sudoku player as well. I'd say I'm right up there with anybody on my team for sure. If I'm killing time and don't feel like I relaxing I just give in to those little mind games. Nine times out of ten in Free Cell if I don't finish it the first time, I'll re-start until I finish it."
Q: What do you remember about the famed 'Red Mile' while playing in Calgary?
A: "Shirts off for [Calgary goalie Miikka] Kiprusoff. That was the motto. I guess girls would walk around, and Girls Gone Wild came there – I know that's a little bit out of my [age] bracket]…but on top of that, it was one of those places where you'd get 20,000 people hanging out and no one would get hurt. There'd be no riff-raff, just people partying and having fun. If anyone is out [in Calgary] they should experience the Red Mile or the Calgary Stampede."
Q: Are you a rodeo fan?
A: "Yeah I like to go once a year. I'm not a huge fan, but when I see it on TV once in a while I wonder how crazy some of those guys are making a living the way they do. But it's pretty neat to see it live up front."
Q: You ever think about being a rodeo clown?
A: "No, but back in my younger days I got drunk and rode the bull at Saddle Ranch on Sunset Ave. in L.A. when I was a rookie. …I had a brand new pair of dress pants and I took them off to ride the bull because I didn't want to mess them up. And the guy up in the booth thought I was being a hero and cranked it up to level nine or 10 and I lasted half a second."
Q: What's a funny practical joke you've seen in hockey?
A: "There was one in junior where somebody put a fish in Chris Neil's car, underneath his seat, and it was really cold so I don't think you got the smell right away. But by the time it fermented in about a day of sun and heat, he wasn't too happy about it. One of the coolest ones I did hear is somebody filled up a teammate's car full of popcorn – you know the extra bags of popcorn they have here in the buildings.
Q: What would you like to do when your NHL career ends?
A: "I've got a lot of ideas. Possibly stay in the game, maybe working for management or as a coach. Broadcasting possibly. But I've also had thoughts of being an owner or part owner of a junior club. I also want to be involved with some golf courses, but I have to make a lot more money to do that. I've even thought of becoming a therapist."
Q: What would people be surprised to find out about you?
A: "I don't drink [alcohol]. For a healthy lifestyle, I felt it was time to make the decision two years ago. I just don't go out to bars because one, I don't enjoy it, and two, it's not a place where someone who wants to get to bed early and doesn't want to drink should be."
Q: If you could have a gourmet chef whip you up whatever meal you'd like, what would it be?
A: "Good question. I'd probably go with some scrambled eggs mixed with salsa and blueberry pancakes — or any kind of French toast. I'm a big breakfast guy."

Construction crews today began a series of alternating street closures as heavier work resumed on an expanded state Highway 14 in Camas and Washougal.
Workers planned to close Second Street at the highway at 8 p.m. both tonight and Tuesday night until 6 a.m. the following mornings. The street will close again from 8 p.m. Thursday to 1 a.m. Friday.
Nearby Union Street will close from 8 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday, then again from 1 to 6 a.m. Friday.
The closures will allow crews to complete bridge work on the newly raised highway, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.
The work is part of a $49 million expansion of Highway 14, elevating and widening the roadway over a four-mile stretch east of the West Camas Slough Bridge. Crews also plan to repave and stripe the highway in the coming months as weather allows, according to WSDOT.
The entire project is expected to be finished this summer.

It seems like the deals will never end today here at the Football Transfer Tavern and according to Sky Sports we have just confirmed another one. Liverpool youngster Daniel Pacheco has left on loan for the rest of the season.
The 22-year-old has thus far struggled to establish himself in Brendan Rodgers side and was keen to leave in order to participate in first team football elsewhere. This of course is not his first experience out on loan – he has previously spent time at Rayo Vallecano making eleven appearances and also Norwich City where he netted twice in six appearances for the Canaries. This time the player is set for another spell in Spain – in the Segunda division with SD Huesca. The struggling side are in a relegation scrap and are fighting for their lives currently sat in 19th place in the league.
Pacheco has made 17 appearances for Liverpool since arriving in 2007 from that little known Spanish club – Barcelona. This term he has only made three senior appearances – once in the Europa League and twice in the Capital One Cup.
For Huesca it was vital to secure Pacheco's services after selling both forward Sergio Diaz and highly rated midfielder David Vasquez.

You can only imagine our delight this morning when we saw reports that French electro-pop outfit Phoenix would be releasing a new album in April of next year. You see, Phoenix's most recent album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix was our (and a lot of other publications') favourite album of 2009. Even now, a few years after its release, it still gets played with pretty heavy regularity on the entertainment.ie speakers.
The news broke at a Spotify event yesterday when Daniel Glass, head of the band's label Glassnote, spoke to the assembled crowd and said that he'd just got off the phone with the band and they told him they'd completed the record in a Paris studio. The band have been working on the album since 2011 and, while no name has been announced yet, some are suggesting that it's called TPC, based on this image from the band's website.

Playing with numbers.
By insidemyhead on Jun 21, 2007
Consider that you have a 32 bit machine and you have a number such as say Hex CF39. How would you go about counting the number of 1's in the binary representation of this number? In other words, the binary representation of CF39 is 1100111100111001. What is needed is a way to count the number of 1's in this number i.e the answer should be 10.[ Your 32 bit machine doesn't have an instruction that can do this :-) ]

If there's one big lesson to be learned in writer/director Ti West's The Innkeepers it's "be careful what you wish for." Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy), the last two employees left at the Yankee Pedlar, would love to get their hands on some real evidence of the rumored ghost that haunts the halls of their creaky hotel before the place closes down for good. Luke has the equipment and the Schlitz; Claire has the dedication. Both find more than they bargained for.
As a ghost story, The Innkeepers isn't chock full of scares, but the few that it has are strong ones. What really makes this movie something special is its unique, well-rounded characters. Claire is an appealing, realistic female lead — she's attractive, but not the type of sexualized teeny-bopper eye candy we're used to seeing in horror films. She may not always make the smartest choices, but that doesn't mean she makes outright stupid ones. Most of her worst decisions are motivated by her deep sense of curiosity and the mistaken idea that ghosts are benign lost spirits. As Claire, Sara Paxton displays a natural comic energy that's barely been hinted at in previous roles. The Innkeepers might not be big enough to be a star-making movie, but Claire is a star-making role.
Pat Healy provides support as Luke, another character who feels like a real person and not the horror movie version of what a comic relief slacker is supposed to be like. The chemistry of the casting elevates The Innkeepers above its indie horror brethren. Even smaller roles, like Kelly McGillis as a tired former TV star turned New Age healer, make a big impression. West has made a fairly stock haunted hotel movie, but he's filled it with non-stock characters.
It's a decision that pays off. It provides The Innkeepers with a much-needed edge, especially considering how dusty some of its haunted house tropes are. There are pianos that play themselves when no one is looking, a ghoulish bride that shows up when the film needs jump scares, and a dire warning about the spooky old basement. This is pretty much Haunted House 101 stuff, and none of it is particularly bone-chilling. It is sort of comforting though — like a familiar story, well-told.
Ti West continues to prove himself as one of horror's most diverse young talents, and The Innkeepers is his slickest, most confident effort yet. It's really a perfect chiller for the scaredy-cat in your life. The interplay between the two leads makes the film almost immediately accessible, and the moments of horror, while effective, lean more on the PG-13 side. Bloodthirsty fans won't find an experience as dark as West's popular 2009 effort, House of the Devil, but they'll definitely find one that's a bit more fun.

Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius said Tuesday she refutes the argument that the Obama administration ever said they would have 7 million Obamacare enrollments by March 31, 2014.
She claims she "volunteered" that number last year. Sebelius added, "First of all, 7 million was not the administration. That was a CBO, Congressional Budget Office prediction when the bill was first signed," being interviewed by The Huffington Post.
"I'm not quite sure where they even got their numbers. Their numbers are all over the board, and the vice president has looked and said it may be closer to 5 to 6."
Her comments go in a completely different direction than her quotes for NBC News one day before Obamacare's disastrous launch last September. At that time she used the word "success" describing her opinion there would be 7 million Americans enrolled in the Obamacare exchanges by the end of March.
Her direct quote was, "I think success looks like at least 7 million people having signed up by the end of March 2014." She was speaking on the record to NBC's Nancy Snyderman on September 30, 2013.
As far back as June, 2013, she told reporters, "We're hopeful 7 million is a realistic target."
Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer felt compelled to criticize Sebelius Tuesday while speaking on Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier."
As Krauthammer put it, "Of course, she was the one that said it, among others. You know, it's an old rule, 'say the truth, it's easier to memorize.'"
Sebelius is not the first administration member to misquote Obamacare projections. White House healthcare policy adviser Phil Schiliro said in December that attracting 7 million enrollees to Obamacare by March "was never the administration's goal. That figure was put out by the Congressional Budget Office in March, and was never our target number," he told NBC News at the time.
Americans have grown cynical of Obamacare numbers at a time many Democrats are seeking political credibility for their November races.
