Dr. Kirk is one who takes her job seriously. When she ask you to get a test done or refers you to another doctor she expects you to follow her orders. She is not one who believes in putting things off. The only thing is that there are times when it is hard to get an appointment because she is a doctor that cares for all her patients and she takes time out you to explain everything to you. The one thing that I Love about her is that she is not afraid to send you out to a specialist. She is not one who says it may be this or that. If she is not sure she will refer you out to a specialist, one who she trust and believes in their ability.
Dr. Kirk and her staff are great. I have been going to her for 10 plus years.
I am so thankful I found Dr. Kirk. I have had issues for 20 years; other doctors wouldn't take the time to figure out what was wrong. Dr. Kirk is the only one who ordered test to find the problem instead of masking it with pills. I have a rare spinal condition that I probably would have lived with for another 20 years. She tries to find the root of the problem as opposed to writing prescriptions. Her staff is great too.
Dr Kirk ia an excellant physition and a very caring person,She is highly recommended,
Every time I call for an apt, they don't have one for a week! They always send me to a walk in clinic. It is so ridiculous!!
Dr. Kirk is wonderful. She takes the time to sit down and actually listen to you. She doesn't write a prescription and run out of the room like a lot of doctors often do. She doesn't hesitate to order test to find out what is wrong. If one test doesn't find the problem, she will order another until she does find the problem. She doesn't blow you off. She is great!!!!
Dr. Kirk is one of those rare doctors that actually spend time w/you..and cares about what you're thinking (accepts your imput and works w/you). She has been dead on when diagnosing any problems I've had. She is a pleasure to see and if something is ever really wrong w/me she is the one I want taking care of treatment!!! I trust her completely.

Driving Assistant.
Driving Assistant combines the camera-based systems Lane Departure Warning and collision warning.
It detects lane markings and warns you of an unintentional lane change at speeds from approx. 70 km/h by means of vibrations in the steering wheel and a visual warning in the instrument cluster. The warning is not activated if the lane change is deliberate, in other words the turn indicator has been activated. The camera also detects pedestrians. Here again you are warned if there is the risk of a collision, and if necessary the brakes are applied.
The system also warns you of a potential collision with a vehicle ahead from speeds of approx. 15 km/h, as well as conditioning the brakes for a faster response at the same time.

Getting the first minute (or four or eight) of a show or movie is a great teaser, but it's even better when it's preceded by an introduction by an executive producer or two. Particularly when those executive producers are Eric Kripke and J.J. Abrams. Here you go, the first minute of the return of Revolution, with an introduction by Eric Kripke and J.J. Abrams:
Clip: Revolution – First Minute of Midseason Premiere
It looks great, and I love what the EPs are saying. Word is that you could start the series with the midseason premiere and not feel like you've missed a step, so if you're a newbie, jump right in. Okay, Revolution. Come back now.
Revolution, starring Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Anna Lise Phillips, Zak Orth, Graham Rogers, JD Pardo, Giancarlo Esposito, David Lyons, Maria Howell, Daniella Alonso, Tim Guinee, and Elizabeth Mitchell, returns Monday, March 25th at 10/9c on NBC.

Oedipus the King
by Sophocles
Oedipus the King Power Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Line). We used Francis Storr's translation found on Project Gutenberg.
Quote #4
Not so, if thou wouldst reason with thyself,
As I with myself. First, I bid thee think,
Would any mortal choose a troubled reign
Of terrors rather than secure repose,
If the same power were given him? As for me,
I have no natural craving for the name
Of king, preferring to do kingly deeds,
And so thinks every sober-minded man.
Now all my needs are satisfied through thee,
And I have naught to fear; but were I king,
My acts would oft run counter to my will.
How could a title then have charms for me
Above the sweets of boundless influence?
I am not so infatuate as to grasp
The shadow when I hold the substance fast.
Now all men cry me Godspeed! wish me well,
And every suitor seeks to gain my ear,
If he would hope to win a grace from thee.
Why should I leave the better, choose the worse?
That were sheer madness, and I am not mad.
No such ambition ever tempted me,
Nor would I have a share in such intrigue.
And if thou doubt me, first to Delphi go,
There ascertain if my report was true
Of the god's answer; next investigate
If with the seer I plotted or conspired,
And if it prove so, sentence me to death,
Not by thy voice alone, but mine and thine.
But O condemn me not, without appeal,
On bare suspicion. 'Tis not right to adjudge
Bad men at random good, or good men bad.
I would as lief a man should cast away
The thing he counts most precious, his own life,
As spurn a true friend. Thou wilt learn in time
The truth, for time alone reveals the just;
A villain is detected in a day. (583-615)
Creon insists that he has everything he wants in terms of wealth and status. This passage becomes important in Antigone, when we see what wealth and status have done to Creon.
Quote #5
Let the storm burst, my fixed resolve still holds,
To learn my lineage, be it ne'er so low.
It may be she with all a woman's pride
Thinks scorn of my base parentage. But I
Who rank myself as Fortune's favorite child,
The giver of good gifts, shall not be shamed.
She is my mother and the changing moons
My brethren, and with them I wax and wane.
Thus sprung why should I fear to trace my birth?
Nothing can make me other than I am. (1077-1086)
Oedipus immediately assumes that Jocasta's reaction has to do with a concern for status. Even at this late point in the play, he is unable to see the minimal importance of such matters in the face of fate.

The world's largest country by area, Russia stretches from Eastern Europe across Northern Asia to the Pacific Ocean, spans 11 time zones and borders 14 countries, including China. It is tied with China for having the most international neighbors.
The first Russian state was established in the ninth century, centering in Novgorod and Kiev. Ivan the Terrible was the first to formally be declared tsar in 1547. Peter the Great founded the Russian empire in 1721.
Social unrest, economic hardship and utter disaster in World War I led to the downfall of the autocracy, culminating in the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution and the establishment of a communist regime and - five years later - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The Soviet Union officially splintered on December 26, 1991.
President Boris Yeltsin resigned on December 31, 1999 and Vladimir Putin became acting-president. He was officially elected president on March 26, 2000. In March 2008, Dmitry Medvedev was elected president.
Russia has competed as an independent nation at the last four Olympic Winter Games. In just four Olympics as an independent nation, it has won 76 medals (33 gold, 24 silver, 19 bronze). Russians won every gold medal from 1964 to 1998 in the pairs figure skating competition.
Russians are expected to medal in multiple figure skating events, and are gold medal favorites in men's hockey, thanks to a roster full of NHL superstars.

Buddha's Birthday at Yonggungsa Temple

The long weekend brought me back once again to Busan. After spending Sunday afternoon surfing with some friends I visited Haedong Yonggungsa Temple for Buddha's Birthday. Awash in a sea of lanterns, the strong ocean breeze, and calming scent of burning incense made this occasion that much more memorable.

Henry IV Part 2
by William Shakespeare
Henry IV Part 2 Family Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Scene.Line). Line numbers correspond to the Norton edition.
Quote #1
...Hotspur's father, old Northumberland,
Lies crafty-sick. (Induction.36-37)
When Rumour says that Northumberland "lies crafty-sick" at Warkworth castle, we're reminded of the way the earl betrayed his son, Hotspur, by pretending to be too ill to help him fight at the battle at Shrewsbury, where Hotspur lost his life. As if to emphasize the familial betrayal, Rumour refers to the old man not simply as "Northumberland," but as "Hotspur's father." It's also important to note that the reference to Northumberland's betrayal of his son occurs at the beginning of the play, in the Induction, which tips us off that father-son relationships will be an important theme in the play.
Quote #2
Let order die,
And let this world no longer be a stage
To feed contention in a lingering act;
But let one spirit of the first-born Cain
Reign in all bosoms, that, each heart being set
On bloody courses, the rude scene may end,
And darkness be the burier of the dead. (1.1.170-176)
When Northumberland learns the news that his son, Hotspur, has been killed in battle, he calls for more rebellion and civil disorder – "let order die!" There's a whole lot to say about this passage but the point we want to make for our discussion of "Family" is this: the loss of his son incites Northumberland to call for the "spirit" of "Cain" to "reign" in the hearts of every man. Cain, as we know, is the firstborn son of Adam and Eve in the Book of Genesis. He's also known for being the first person, ever, to commit murder (he killed his brother, Abel). So, when Northumberland imagines rebellion against the king, he imagines it as a form of domestic violence, which reminds the audience that civil strife is, in fact, a family affair.
Quote #3
For the box of the
ear that the prince gave you, he gave it like a rude
prince, and you took it like a sensible lord. I have
checked him for it, and the young lion repents.
[Aside.] Marry, not in ashes and sackcloth, but in
new silk and old sack.
Well, God send the prince a better
God send the companion a better prince! I
Well, the king hath severed you and
Prince Harry. (1.2.197-208)
In Henry IV Part 1, Prince Hal rebelled against his father, King Henry IV, and took up with Falstaff, who became a kind of surrogate father figure to the prince by tutoring him in the wild ways of life in Eastcheap, London. Here, Falstaff sounds like a parent when he claims he put Hal in check when the prince "boxed" the LCJ on the ears. Falstaff did no such thing, of course – he's mocking the Lord Chief Justice, who knows that Falstaff is a bad influence on Hal. When the Lord Chief Justice points out that Hal and Falstaff have been "severed" or separated, we're alerted to the fact that Hal and Falstaff don't spend much time together in Part 2. In fact, Hal and Falstaff will only have one personal encounter (in Act 2, Scene 4) before Hal becomes King Henry V and banishes Falstaff altogether in Act 5. Here, it seems that Hal and Falstaff have already begun to grow apart. Is Shakespeare preparing the audience for Hal's painful rejection of Falstaff? Check out "Power" is you want to think about this some more.

One of President Obama's many mistakes when it comes to Israel was his insistence on being the anti-Bush whenever possible. It was a mistake he could have avoided, a decision against which he was advised by some of his smarter advisors. President Bush didn't leave office with a lot of hope for the peace process, but he did leave behind a functioning mechanism for its continuation. And he did it for a reason, as I wrote at the time:
[T]he president is still determined not to repeat what the previous president did. Hopefully, he will be sufficiently determined. Well-positioned persons note that [Bill] Clinton passed down to his successor a dysfunctional peace process. A violent intifada. The size of the abyss into which the two sides slid was commensurate to Clinton's ambition to bring an end to the conflict. A senior official described it thus: "Clinton drove an expensive race car in order to reach the end of the race, but spun at the curve. What Bush got from him was not a car but a pile of rubble." The outgoing president - in 10 months - intends to leave his successor the keys to a car in working order.
Obama made the mistake of wanting to start over, scrap whatever mechanism was in place and reinvent the peace process. As Steve Rosen explains in his new paper (see Rosner's Must Reads):
Obama's strategy of confrontation over settlements, in other words, has backfired. The Palestinian issue has now regressed to the pre-Madrid situation before 1991: Palestinians once again refuse to meet with Israelis, and speak of abandoning the two-state solution and returning to armed struggle. By comparison, during the term of George W. Bush, who, Obama believes, did so little for Israeli-Palestinian peace, Abbas met with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert for talks that Abbas himself characterized as among the most productive ever held. Between the November 2007 Annapolis Conference convened by Bush, and the end of 2008, there were 288 negotiation sessions by 12 teams representing Olmert and Abbas, all while limited construction of Jewish homes in east Jerusalem and the settlement blocs continued.
Enter Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee. And what does he tell the pro-Israel crowd of the Faith and Freedom Coalition?
"I think, by and large, you can just look at the things the president has done and do the opposite".
Apparently, the crowd loved it:
Those words prompted prolonged applause and cheering from an audience of 250 in the ballroom of a Washington hotel.
I don't. Doing the "opposite" is what got Barack Obama into trouble with Israel, and doing the opposite would get Romney in as much trouble if he insisted on pursuing such a policy. Doing the opposite is the opposite of doing the right thing – that is, of building on one's predecessor successes and changing where one's successor had failed. Obviously, at this stage the "opposite" quip is no more than an election one-liner aimed at getting cheers. Alas, such quips have the occasional tendency to become the policy of new administrations, and as a policy it is really a bad one.
So yes, Romney should "do the opposite" from Obama on Israel, but just in one regard: he should do the opposite by not doing the opposite.

My original idea was for the most masculine/macho building in town. With a garage, steak & bbq restaurant, kick boxing studio, gun range, and a Jacuzzi on the roof; but I decided to simplify so here we have a motorcycle dealership.
Lets start with the female manager doing a smokey burnout and a punk kid at the only working payphone in town. The utilities control box is to its right.
Now for some exterior shots, this building was an old warehouse that's been rennovated. The service bay, with brick build doors, is down a narrow alley. The alley isn't in the best shape (looks like someone has been doing burnouts in the alley as well); the city's budget is stretched so there is no money to repave it. The alley also has two dumpters, which are usually full of rusted parts, boxes, and also meet the rules requirements of having technic connectors on both sides. The brick-built shutters do close when pushed together.
Around back we have the stairs leading up to the second-floor showroom and the HVAC system that feeds the first-floor service bay. There's also a small patch of wild growth outback with Mickey-the-rat, the shop mascot. The new owners wanted to brick in both sets of windows on the side, but the Fire Marshall said they had to have fire escape access so they left two alone (the fire escape windows are offset in half a stud and align with the vertically-striped interior walls).
Lets take a look at the service level, clockwise from the left we have the elevator used to move bikes from the service bay to the second-floor showroom (you didn't think they would hump them up the stairs did you?); a dyno to tune the bikes; emergency fire equipment; vents for the HVAC I mentioned before; a poster of a cute girl on a Guzzi cafe racer; a back room under the stairs for Harry Potter... I mean the coffee maker and bathroom; the workbench with tools, drill press, radio and service manuals, and a coke vending machine (although you can't see it, I'm using a string-piece and a jumper plate to simulate the vending machine being plugged in). I removed parts of the overhead door rails for this photo. The interior walls still have their original brickwork even though the outside of the building was repainted. You can see the blue bricks that give the back of the phone booth its color.
On to the second floor showroom. We have two more brick built bikes, bringing the total to four. You can get either the regular two-up version, or the racier sportbike with the solo seat. The red display platforms are on turntables so you can angle them any way you want. You also have the manager's office with table, clock radio, and register. Being that the manager is female, she decided to put up pleasing wallpaper, if she had left it up to the men the walls would have been covered with newspaper clippings and old Farah Fawcett posters.
The third floor is where the real money is made...accessories. On the wall there are different handlebars, exhaust pipes, and custom bodywork. On the floor is a high performace front end so you can upgrade your suspension and some helmet displays.
While I didn't intend this to be a corner building, with a little modification it could. In my gallery you can also see how the alley and the dumpsters integrate with other modulars. Even though it is a little taller than the Grand Emporium, its still shorter than the Town Hall. I have more and bigger pics on the Flickrs.
Fun Fact: I was going to use BrickForge scooters until they said no 3rd part bricks; which is why I brick-built the bikes.
PS. On Cuusoo.

DISD's new Zan Holmes Jr. Middle School opens to students
Zan Holmes Jr. Middle School principal Barbara Moham spent some time on Monday talking about the new school building. The building's geothermal system focuses on recycling and using temperatures underground for heating and cooling. The facade of the building and some surrounding walkways are made from recycled ash.
New DISD Superintendent Mike Miles visited Holmes and said the building was impressive.
"It's amazing," Miles said. "Hard to believe it's a middle school. We just now have to have the instruction to match the building."
Some parents dropping off their children were impressed with the size of the three-story school. Holmes is about 200,000 square feet, Moham said.

Saying No to 'Crouching Tiger'
Meet the people shaping life and culture in Asia. More from The Moment
Since Ronny Yu got his start in the late 1970s, his filmmaking career has spanned both Hollywood and Asia, as well as genres ranging from martial-arts movies ("Fearless," starring Jet Li as a soul-searching warrior) to horror flicks ("Bride of Chucky" and "Freddy vs. Jason").
This year he turned his attention to the historical epic with "Saving General Yang," based on the revered Yang family. Mr. Yu spoke with the Journal about tackling different genres, passing on the "Crouching Tiger" sequel and why his cast won't be on horseback in his next film. An edited transcript of the interview follows.
How did you first fall in love with film?
Mr. Yu: As a child I had polio, so I couldn't walk too well. I confined myself to chairs. My father, seeing me all the time by myself in the house, said, "OK, I'll take you to the movies." I felt so good inside that dark house. Nobody could stare at me and I didn't have to get up and walk. Children are very cruel, they would say things that really hurt. Within that two hours, I thought, wow, this is my world. The biggest escape for me from my real world was movies.
Why did you decide to become a director?
Through that time I saw all sorts of movies—Hong Kong wasn't that strict. I could see action-packed, really brutal and violent movies. I loved all those heroes. Later on, I asked my father, "Who is the guy responsible for telling the story?" He said, "That is the job of the director." From that day on, I said to myself: "When I grow up I want to be a film director so I can help people to escape their daily needs, pain, whatever."
But you first studied marketing at Ohio University.
My father is a very conservative businessman in Hong Kong. He thought that film is not a steady income. He said: "Study marketing if you want to go to America."
I said to him: "Give me some time to try to work and fit into the film industry." He gave me $200 and took back all the credit cards. He said: "See if, in the real world, you can." That is how I started.
Your directorial debut, "The Servant," based on the screenwriter Philip Chan's experiences in the anti-Triad squad of the Hong Kong police force, was a surprise box-office hit in the 1970s.
I remember the midnight show, which is almost like the first test screening. We were up against some big movies. "The Servant" was not an A-list cast. I thought, oh my God, we are going to be killed. The result was astonishing.

Why do you think it hit a nerve?
I asked [Hong Kong filmmaker] Raymond Wong. His answer was: "Because you know s— about filmmaking. Because the audience at the time had so many cops and robbers films, and people are dying for something fresh. You don't have that film-school background, you just go with your gut, and you look at the movie like an audience member. You had nothing to lose." After "The Servant" I didn't want to repeat myself. I wanted to try different genres. I just wanted to learn more.
You were asked to direct the sequel to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
Harvey Weinstein asked me to do the sequel, and I turned it down. This was around the Chinese New Year. It's nothing to do with the script. I told Harvey it's out of total respect for Ang Lee's work. Ang Lee is the best director in my generation. He's the most courageous and the most smart. I thought that "Crouching Tiger" was a classic. I don't think we should muck around with it.
What inspired you to bring "Saving General Yang," featuring one of China's most enduring folk tales, to the big screen?
I have never done a big historical epic. After working with Jet Li on "Fearless," he said: "This is your roots. You have to give back something." So I have been trying to find something with a very strong Chinese cultural base or story line. I am tired of those epic historical Chinese movies. They are all so boring, so preachy.
Then Raymond Wong came along three years ago and said do you know about the Yang family? I went back and looked at all those legends and thought, we need to find a way to tell this story. It has a message about love and loyalty, the thousand-year-old Confucius virtues.
You were originally going to cast all women and make a movie about the Yang-widow warriors. What changed?
The more I developed it, the more I don't believe it. According to history, these widows don't exist. It's an urban legend. I turned away from that in 2010. We started from zero.
"Saving General Yang" was filmed outside Beijing in Mandarin and is a China-Hong Kong co-production. Is the Hong Kong film market being squeezed by mainland China?
I don't see this as Hong Kong being squeezed, it's just natural evolution. You need money, follow the rules. A movie is a commercial product.
So what's next?
A contemporary movie along the line of "Ocean's Eleven." No more riding horses. We are going to be driving Porsches and Ferraris.

Heat Report: 31.12.13
Mike Cadarette reports from Abbotsford
The Heat dished out a convincing couple of wins this weekend against the Oklahoma City Barons - wins that saw them shoot up to first place in the Western Conference.
On Friday evening, the Heat punished Barons' goalie Richard Bachman in a 5-1 victory.
It was the college rookies, Ben Hanowski and Corban Knight, who scored quickly for the Heat to give them a 2-0 edge heading into the first intermission. Then, Max Reinhart picked up his sixth and seventh goals of the year in middle frame thanks to two helpers from Ben Street who finished with four assists in the game. Rookie Josh Jooris capped off the scoring with his third of the campaign late in the third period.
Joni Ortio stopped 32 of 33 in the game to take second star honours.
Saturday's rematch wasn't all that different. The Heat's offence continued as they downed the Barons 4-2.
Markus Granlund was the first out of the gate for the Heat as he scored his thirteenth marker of the season on a beautiful top-of-the-circle snipe, ending a four-game pointless skid for the rookie. Knight scored the only goal of the middle frame to give the Heat a 2-1 edge heading into the second intermission. Midway through the third period, Lane MacDermid knocked home a pass from Carter Bancks to pick up his first goal of the season and his first in a Heat uniform.
However, the Barons' Curtis Hamilton responded 0:15 seconds later to attempt a comeback. Sven Baertschi had other plans as he netted his first AHL goal of the year on the power play with less than two minutes remaining in the game to seal it for the Heat.
The Heat hope to continue their winning ways on Friday and Saturday at home against the Hamilton Bulldogs.
With 206 career games played in a Heat uniform, the second most in franchise history, long-time Heat forward Greg Nemisz is moving on.
On Monday, the Calgary Flames acquired tough guy Kevin Westgarth from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for Nemisz. The Courtice, Ontario native was drafted 25th overall by the Flames in 2008. As the man who has been around him the most throughout his professional career, Heat head coach Troy G. Ward reflected on the 23-year-old's tenure with the Heat with praise.
"Greg was a good pro. He was a good man. He was a good man to himself, he's a good family guy, he's good to his teammates and he's always good with the coaches. Most of all he was a really good person. In any facet of hockey that came up, whether it was competitiveness or success or failure or just life, Greg was a good man.
"That part will be missed because those are the key ingredients that are behind the scenes that keep things together. As you know him, whether your interviewing him or coaching him, he was never too high, never too low. He was always optimistic. We'll miss that part of him."
However, Ward was able to meet with Nemsiz one last time before he hopped his 6:00 AM flight out of Abbotsford.
"He did come in and meet with me at 4:15 this morning. He came in and met with me, we said our goodbyes and had a good ten minutes together. I was happy about that. He's a class act."
The Heat welcomed a new face to the team this week. As is the case in the American league, when injuries and call-ups happen, new players need to be ready to step in. Perhaps no one is more ready than new signee, centre Adrian Foster.
Waiting for his shot in the AHL for over two seasons, Foster, 31, has been around the block a few times, but according to Ward, that didn't discourage him, it only made him hungrier.
"The biggest thing, when we lost Granlund the other day, when we started looking at replacements was somebody that, it's the same philosophy that I had in college, you recruit people that are hungry. You don't necessarily recruit the best players, you recruit people that are hungry. So I wanted to bring in a guy that I thought was humble and really wanted to prove himself.
"He's at the end of his career, he's been in Europe, he's a first-round pick of the Devils, he's had his years, he had a good year for me in Houston one year. But he's really hungry to get back, so he held out this fall to try and get an American league deal, it didn't work. He held out last fall to get an American league deal, it didn't work. So everyone was basically telling him it was over. He went to Idaho [of the ECHL] and had a point per game last year. This year he went to San Francisco [of the ECHL] and had a point per game there. Because he's so hungry and he's been good to me in the past and has some skill, we felt that was the best choice for the short-term."
Paul Byron has been a wonderful story for the Calgary Flames since his call-up, but his former coach isn't surprised at Byron's success.
Ward believes the diminutive forward's success in the NHL is a testament to his other players about the heart and determination it takes to succeed in the business.
"I'm really proud of Paul," said Ward. "We sold him after the first three weeks of the season. We kept saying, 'He's the guy, he's the guy.' They didn't take him because they were questioning his size. We kept saying, 'It's not the size, it's the size of the heart.'
"His speed and his heart have really been a bonafide teaching point for everybody that's down here that hasn't gone up. If Brian Burke likes big guys, big truculent guys, then why is Byron still up? That's sending a huge message to the guys down here … He's been a nice story."

Visitors to Camp Wanocksett are reminded that, in accordance with state regulations, to help prevent the spread of invasive species, outside firewood is not permitted at Camp Wanocksett. Visitors are requested to leave firewood at home.
An infestation of Asian Longhorn Beetles and Emerald Ash Borers in central Worcester County, and Berkshire Country has prompted the USDA and Massachusetts DCR to impose a quarantines prohibiting the transport of natural wood materials (e.g., twigs, branches, trunks, logs, stumps, etc.) from areas in Western and Central Massachusetts. The State of New Hampshire has issued a similar quarantine prohibiting importing firewood from outside of the state.
Asian Longhorn Beetles and Emerald Ash Borers are an invasive and destructive species that cause significant damage to hardwood forests. Transporting firewood is one means for these invasive pests to migrate.
To aid in the containment of this infestation, and to protect the beauty of Camp Wanocksett, Nashua Valley Council requests that no outside firewood be brought into camp. For more information on the damage caused and efforts to combat these pests please visit http://www.dontmovefirewood.org
Unit leaders and visitors, are asked to assist in this effort by leaving firewood at home.

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - A group of local rafters will compete this weekend for their ninth straight national rafting title.
They're the soggy Boston Celtics, and most of them are raft guides with Timberline Tours.
The Teva U.S. National Champion Men's and Women's Whitewater Raft Teams will be in Oregon this weekend to compete in the U.S. national championships. The men have won eight straight years.
Between the men's and women's teams, they've won 14 national titles.
They leave Wednesday for Portland where the event is part of the Clackamas River festival.
"It's one of those things that sound like a cliche, but it really is special to the travel the world, run rivers, and be on a team with your best friends. That's what fuels it for most of us," said Mike Reid, who's part of the men's team.
Then there's the opportunity to represent their country in international competition. If they win the national title, they'll compete in the IRF World Rafting Championships this October, in Costa Rica on the Upper Pacuare River.
"There's no greater honor than to be competing with the American flag on your chest. It's an honor like no other any of us are likely to experience," Reid said.
Also, if you win the nationals you represent the U.S. in all world championship events for the next year.
"It's an incredible honor to be able to compete at that level and to represent your country," said Lisa Reeder with Timberline Tours, who helped pull the teams together.
Experience matters
The men's team has remained intact since competing in Bosnia for the 2009 world championships. Three members have been together for nine years.
"Experience helps. You can really see it. It takes having one world championship event under your belt to be able to compete at that level," Reid said.
The same men's team competed in the Netherlands for last year's world championships.
To compete in the world championships, you have to win your national title.
Did we mention the local men have done that eight times, and a win this weekend would make nine? And that the men's and women's teams have 14 national titles between them?
They finished fourth in the Netherlands last year. They missed third by one point, so they along with the thrill of victory they also understand the agony of defeat.
"That's a heartbreak, but that's sport. But it is more fun to win," Reid said.
Timberline Tours and Teva sponsor the teams.

Driving in winter weather can be a challenge, the following are some winter driving tips to help you navigate the ice and snow of the rough winter roads.
Who is considered the product manufacturer?
In operational lingo, outside of the microcosm of product liability insurance, an entity that produces a product is considered the manufacturer, however, in the world of
insurance the definition is quite different. The reason for the disparity is primarily dictated by the US Court systems and here is why. Typically, in the event of a product liability insurance suit, the courts will rarely, if ever, export a claimant overseas to obtain satisfaction when injuries are involved, either bodily injury or property damage, and will contrarily opt to settle the claim here on domestic soil. This being the case, the first link in the domestic chain of the product's life often becomes liable for damages and judgements that arise from the use of the product. What this means plays a tremendous part in how your insurance policy is written, because whether you are directly importing a product directly from overseas, having a product manufactured for you overseas (especially if that product bears your company name) or marketing a product that is to be delivered directly to an end-user or retailer, that originates from overseas, then this makes you the first link in the domestic chain, so whether you consider yourself a distributor, retailer, or wholesaler, or an importer, for purposes of product liability insurance, YOU ARE A MANUFACTURER.

Multiple productions taking place in the US.
While at a recent
continuing education class, the topic of *Self Driving Cars* arose. The
concern from an insurance stand point is "Who would be liable in the
event of an accident?" The driver, the auto manufacturer, the system
To date Google's self driving cars have driven in excess of
1,500,000 miles, and although there have been 12 accidents, none of them
have been the fault of the self driving car. As these self driving cars, or autonomous vehicles, begin to roll
out, however, there will be, during the transition in, both manually
driven and autonomous vehicles sharing the road. The problem arises here... You are
occupying a self driving car, heading towards you is a semi truck, to
your right is a vehicle occupied by an elderly couple, to the left is a
woman pushing a stroller with 2 infants. The computer system identifies
the scenario and determines that someone has to die. It'll be either
you, an elderly couple without much life left to live, or a mother and
her two children.
Now what?
It stands to reason that these
systems will need to be programmed with risk mitigation analysis to
minimize the cost and severity of a claim. The question remains, will
these be published scenarios with full transparency that clearly state
what the outcome the systems will choose when faced with these
situations? With assisted self driving cars to roll out as early as 2017
and fully autonomous vehicles slated to hit the streets as early as
2020, there are several obstacles that will need to be overcome. However
the severity of the incident will no longer be determined by the
driver, nor will the potential outcome of your life, it will be
determined by a computer programmer.

CECIL HURT: Bielema trying to right ship at Arkansas
Published: Tuesday, October 15, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 14, 2013 at 11:35 p.m.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.| Timing has not been the University of Arkansas' friend in its football rivalry with Alabama recently.
Last season, Alabama came to town in mid-September, arriving in the wake of the Razorbacks' tumultuous start (on the heels of a terrible offseason). John L. Smith was coaching and Tyler Wilson, who was supposed to be quarterbacking, was not. That combination propelled Alabama to a 52-0 win that probably could have been more lopsided if Nick Saban had wanted it to be.
So what could be worse?
Well, this year, with the game pushed from its usual mid-September slot, Arkansas has a new coach, Bret Bielema, but the same quarterback who had to replace Wilson in last year's rout, Brandon Allen.
Defensive tackle Robert Thomas, a legitimate NFL prospect, is out with a season-ending broken leg. After an early burst of new-coach optimism, the Razorbacks have gone from tough but respectable losses (Rutgers, Texas A&M) to worrisome ones (Florida) to a downright embarrassing blowout against South Carolina last Saturday. So they hardly come to Tuscaloosa riding a wave of momentum.
So what advice does Bielema give his squad as it prepares to play the nation's No. 1-ranked team?
"I say, 'Don't be a Debbie Downer,' " Bielema said at his Monday press conference.
If that comes across as flippant, it didn't sound that way in person. Bielema talks at a mile-a-minute clip, with minimal filter. Many times, he is trying to be funny — for instance, his offseason comments about his record in the Big Ten being much better than Nick Saban's were more for the benefit of a Razorback Club audience than a serious throwing down of the gauntlet.
Bielema does go a little over the line sometimes — see his running feud with Wisconsin fans on Twitter for proof. But he is serious about fighting a battle not to lose control of this Arkansas team, starting with their attitude.
"It has blown me away how we can have such a blowup when we have a bad situation," Bielema said. "This is a team that has some done some good things, but we have a negative play, and it just carries into everything. We throw an interception, and it doesn't just affect the quarterback and the receiver, everybody gets down. How it affects the other nine guys is beyond me, but it does."
Obviously, at least some Arkansas players are suffering from long-term shell shock. Before Bobby Petrino's dismissal last season, some reputable people thought the Razorbacks could be a BCS contender in 2012. Instead, they had a losing season and appear headed for another unless things turn around quickly.
Bielema said he "hasn't seen any indication" that players are giving up on the season, or the coaching staff. And, although he mentioned "freshmen" and "younger players" frequently, he stopped short of saying that the rest of this season will be an all-out youth movement.
"My job as head coach is to look at the long range for this program," he said. "But on Saturdays, I want to win."

A Waynesville man was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to robbing Security Bank of Pulaski County in February.
Arthur John Green, 42, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge M. Douglas Harpool to 12 years and seven months in federal prison without parole.
On April 2, 2014, Green pleaded guilty to robbing the Security Bank of Pulaski County.
According to court documents, Green allegedly entered the bank on Feb. 20 and handed the teller a note that said he had a weapon and wanted money. While the teller was gathering money, the suspect told the teller to hurry or he would start shooting and that he had his finger on the trigger. The teller gave the man $1,100.
Video from the bank identified Green leaving the scene in a stolen 1995 Buick.
A few hours later, a Pulaski County deputy found the vehicle later that afternoon. Green was arrested and was found with $1,080 in his pants pocket.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Carney. It was investigated by the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department and the FBI.

About the Book
"The Feral Warriors are hot."
—New York Times bestseller Rachel Vincent<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Immortal shapeshifters, powerful and wild, are dedicated to combating evil in Pamela Palmer's extraordinary paranormal romance series—and Hunger Untamed is the magnificent continuation of their passionate adventures. A brilliantly original mix of sorcery and sensuality, Hunger Untamed unites a dangerous, mistrusting Kougar with the beautiful, ethereal life-mate who abandoned him thousands of years earlier, as they join forces to battle a darkness that threatens to destroy both their races. The Chicago Tribune loves Palmer's "dark and intense" Feral Warriors, a series that, "delivers plenty of sexy passion and high-testosterone drama"—and any reader who has ever been seduced by the dark romance of Lora Leigh, Marjorie M. Liu, and Nalini Singh will love it, too.
They are called Feral Warriors—an elite band of immortals who can change shape at will. Sworn to rid the world of evil, consumed by sorcery and seduction, their wild natures are primed for release . . .
For a thousand years she has haunted him—Ariana, Queen of the linas, a beauty of mist and light. His love, his life mate . . . Kougar believed her lost to him forever, until the truth of her stunning betrayal left him bitter and hungry for revenge. Now she alone holds the power to save two trapped and desperate Feral Warriors.
Ariana, caught in a deadly battle of her own, is neither the soulless creature Kougar believes her to be nor the savior he seeks.
And when darkness threatens to annihilate both races, the greatest danger of all becomes the glorious love Kougar and Ariana once shared. A love that must never rise again. A love that has never died.

Junior League of Dallas Annual Gala | Keynote Speech (24 minutes)
Wellesley, MA, Mother's Group: Keynote Speech (21 minutes)
"I really wanted to thank Missy for coming to Wellesley! I couldn't be happier with how things turned out. The feedback from our members has been phenomenal -- I haven't heard a single negative thing said, and believe me, around here that is rare!
"People have been raving about Missy and what a great speaker she is. They said it was the best lecture they've seen in all their years. We all loved her laid-back style, her annecdotes from her own personal experiences, how approachable she is and of course, her practical tips for improving our families' nutrition. Unlike certain other "celebrity" chefs, she just seems so real -- like she said, she's just another mom, trying to get her family to eat healthier, facing the same challenges we all face. When she said we're all in it together, we could tell she really meant it. I think Missy will have a lot of new fans here in Wellesley! Thank you, thank you, thank you again! It was great to meet you and I hope our paths cross again!"

"This was one of the best events we've had this year. Your passion for ensuring nutritious meals emanated from your presentation. We really enjoyed learning about healthy methods that we had never considered before! It was a delight to hear both your words of wisdom as well as to see the practical side. Members of the board had wonderful things to say about your presentation. Your cooking style got us excited about the culinary arts and made us realize how easy it is. Your demonstration was interactive and exceptional. We are now motivated to increase the goodness of our meals!" ~Executive Board
Trade Show
Green Bay, WI
"Missy Chase Lapine was at our Get Cooking Food Show in Green Bay, Wisconsin on September 20, 2008. She was such a joy to work with. In advance, we had received everything she needed for her demonstration (ingredients, appliances, and kitchen utensils) and there was no last minute rushing to get things added or changed. We had high school culinary arts students assisting her with the demo and they made a few mistakes for the first demo. Missy went over what needed to be done differently and the second demo was done perfectly! She is so great interacting with the crowd! What she makes is so simple and healthy at the same time and she did a great job of communicating that.
She was very supportive of our presenting sponsor as well. She made sure to mention them along with their products – the presenting sponsor was ecstatic! What a true professional at her job. I would hire her again to be part of our cooking show."~Kris Mattes, Director of Shows & Events
