5 Artists Who Stopped Sucking Out of Nowhere
And that's true not just for real world concerns, but also in the realm of pop culture. Doing a 180 degree turn in your opinions about an artist or work of art can be intensely satisfying. The first time I heard Faith No More's "Midlife Crisis" and Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game," I felt like I was dying. Both songs made me physically uncomfortable, and I distinctly remember shutting off the radio on FNM and actually leaving the record store for Isaak. (Oh -- for our younger readers -- a record store is a place where, as a teen, I failed repeatedly to find chicks willing to have sex with me.) But by the third or fourth listen, something clicked and both songs became all-time favorites of mine.
The video, however, I liked right away.
With artists, it's a little different. The change usually comes for me after a specific performance I call the 180 moment. It's a defining event big enough for me to do an about-face on all my previous opinions. Here are my five biggest 180s on artists I once thought had absolutely no value.
#5. Neil Patrick Harris
To me, Neil Patrick Harris was always Doogie Howser, M.D. -- a vaguely irritating boy actor on a show I rarely watched. It never occurred to me to think of him as anything other than a child star who would go away for 10 years before popping up briefly on TMZ in a tragic drug overdose story.
"I decided to follow up my 'Doogie Howser, M.D.' performance with a daring role as the inhabitant of a chalk outline."
The 180 Moment: Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle
In 2004, I went to Blockbuster and rented Harold & Kumar go to White Castle after hearing it was good despite all appearances to the contrary. (Oh -- for our younger readers -- Blockbuster was a store where, as a young man, I failed repeatedly to find chicks willing to have sex with me.) In any event, all the buzz was true, and Harold & Kumar ended up being one of my favorite comedies. But that's not the important part. The big story was Neil Patrick Harris's portrayal of Neil Patrick Harris as a drug addicted, womanizing thrill junkie.
Sometimes cool people disable embedding. The link's above. Sorry.
The performance was great on so many levels. Even as mere stunt-casting it would have worked; innocent boy actor is actually a bad ass. Harris could have said his lines, hit his marks and delivered laughs. Instead, he created a performance so memorable, it demanded to be repeated in two sequels. Instead of watching Harris and saying, "Oh, I get it, Doogie likes to fuck," you believed he was a bad ass womanizer, and it was completely inconsequential that Harris was openly gay. Not only a great comedic turn, but hopefully inspirational to any gay actor who thinks they can't come out because the audience won't accept them in straight roles.
#4. Justin Timberlake
For a long time, I had a fairly large amount of disdain for Justin Timberlake in the same way I would hate any soulless performing monkey that made millions. I saw no difference between, the N'Sync teen star and the little kid doing country on Star Search. Both were just wind-up toy singing whores.
The 180 Moment: Hosting Saturday Night Live
In 2003, Justin Timberlake hosted Saturday Night Live, and I had to throw out most of those opinions. True, N'Sync was still pop garbage he spewed for lots of cash, but he was not the talentless, blonde automaton I thought he was. Two skits made that clear. The now-classic "Omeletteville" skit and his performance of Robin Gibb on Jimmy Fallon's Barry Gibb talk show.
Sure Timberlake sang and danced with great aplomb in the "Omlletteville" skit, but more importantly, he looked like a giant douchebag. I had no idea this petite pretty boy would be on board with making fun of himself, and that helped change my opinion as much as his killer comedic performance.
One giant, douchey egg-suit. See how easy it is to win my love?
As a huge Bee Gees fan, The Barry Gibb Talk Show is one of my favorite SNL skits of all time. Mostly, I love it for Fallon's performance which shows the unfairly maligned Barry Gibb as a force to be reckoned with while simultaneously equating the Bee Gee falsetto with rage. But Timberlake's portrayal of Robin Gibb (get well) as a hapless simpleton also shattered my disdain and convinced me that not only could he act, but he'd spent many hours listening to the Bee Gees.
#3. Soundgarden
I'm a huge Soundgarden fan. I love Chris Cornell and the boys so much they've basically ruined loud music for me; it just seems pointless to listen to any other band. But it wasn't always that way. My first exposure to them was the mention of their name: Soundgarden. Mmmm. Sounded ethereal and prog rocky, appealing instantly to my lame suburban sensibilities. I was eager to check them out. What I got was this:
At that point, I relegated them to the dumb ass, punk rock junk pile as mindless cretins. That was my mistake. First off, I had no idea that song was called "Big Dumb Sex" and was mocking the "hey let's fuck" sensibility of some dance music. More importantly, the best was yet to come.
The 180 Moment: Temple of the Dog
In 1991, I first heard "Hunger Strike" from Temple of the Dog -- a tribute album to the late Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone. The one-off project featured Soundgarden's Chris Cornell and Matt Cameron with Stone Gossard, Mike McCready and Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam. The song, quite literally, stopped me in my tracks and made me change direction until I found where the music was coming from. (Spoiler alert: God. It was coming from God.)
The album redefined how I thought about songwriting and rock vocals. Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger, featuring "Outshined" and "Rusty Cage," was already out at the time, but I had ignored it, writing it off as more "Big Dumb Sex" noise. But Cornell's songwriting and vocals on the more mellow and soulful Temple couldn't be denied. I played the CD over and over. (Oh -- for our younger readers -- CDs are things I listened to as a boy after failing repeatedly to find chicks willing to have sex with me.)
After hearing Temple, I went back to Badmotorfinger and realized all that same songwriter craft was still underneath the more aggressive arrangements. I'd sold Soundgarden short. Thankfully, I did my 180 before Superunknown came out so I was in full blown fan mode when the greatest album of the '90s arrived.*
*To Radiohead fans: maybe OK Computer is better. To Faith No More fans: maybe Angel Dust is better. To Nirvana fans: You're adorable!

Just ask longtime BFFs George Clooney, Rande Gerber and wife Cindy Crawford, who did just that in Los Cabos, on the southern tip of Mexico's Baja peninsula, and are showing off their to-die-for vacation homes in November's Architectural Digest.
The trio named the compound Casamigos – "House of Friends" – and the longtime close pals, who launched a tequila company of the same name, use the structures accordingly.
"Our lives go back and forth," Crawford, 47, tells the magazine. "We'll have cocktails at our place and dinner at George's, and vice versa."
Architectural Digest
"They wanted houses that were very elegant and almost like an art piece," their architect, Víctor Legorreta, tells the magazine. "But where you would still be comfortable walking around barefoot and in a swimsuit."
Clooney, 52, also told Architectural Digest he wanted the homes to "blend in" with its surroundings, and "be something indigenous that would feel in harmony with the setting."
Initially, the trio planned to build one large home for all of them – including Crawford and Gerber's two children, son Presley, 14, and daughter Kaya, 12 – but the idea was squashed when they they decided, "it's just nice at the end of the night to have your own place to go back to," Gerber, 51, explained.
Architectural Digest
Both homes also feature large swimming pools out front. We can only assume Clooney pal and practical joke victim Sandra Bullock now knows that she must take a dip at her own risk.

This is the only liquid substance you can pour onto yourself to make you "doper".
When you pour dope sauce on you it makes you dope. The first person to use dope sauce was Cee-Lo-Green. If Cee Lo didn't use dope sauce then he would just be some fat wierdo. Also Skrillex used dope sauce.

Given a second opportunity to vote on their school budget, residents of the Clarence School District voted overwhemingly to approve a budget, 3,541 to 1,817.
Voters approved the district's second-chance budget by roughly 66 percent to 34 percent.
The approved budget in Clarence brings the tax rate under the state's cap. The passage means the district will cut nearly 30 positions from its original budget, which was defeated last month, but avoid a "disaster" situation with even more staff and teacher cuts.
However, Wilson School District again turned thumbs down today.
But budgets were approved in the Lewiston-Porter, Niagara Wheatfield and Bemus Point districts.
The Wilson budget was defeated 903 to 604.
In Lewiston-Porter, the budget was approved, 1,663 to 993; in Niagara Wheatfield, the margin was 2,402 to 1,795; and in Bemus Point, 601 to 440.
Altogether, voters in six Western New York school districts went to the polls a second time in two months today, as districts offered budgets for a revote.
Statewide, 32 of 676 budgets were defeated in May. Voters considered new budgets in most districts, although some districts submitted the same budgets that were defeated last month.
Some budgets, like those in Clarence and Lewiston-Porter, would spend less than this year. The tax levy in those and in Alden, Niagara Wheatfield, Wilson and Bemus Point would go up, although none of the levies is above the tax cap, and all needed a simple majority to pass.
The Clarence school vote got a lot of attention after last month's resounding defeat of the original budget that called for a 9.8 percent tax increase.
Turnout for the Clarence school revote was steady throughout the day but not as high as when the first budget was defeated a month ago.
More than 5,300 voters had cast their ballots, the second-highest vote total in the history of the district.
The consequences of a second budget defeat can be dire to districts. Their school boards must adopt budgets that do not increase the tax levy from this year. That means cuts of several hundred thousand dollars to more than $1 million to others, such as Clarence.
Last year, there were 24 revotes, and only two districts in New York State operated on contingent budgets: Cheektowaga Sloan, and Oppenheim-Ephratah Central in Fulton and Herkimer counties.
"Crafting budgets this year was like walking a tightrope. Move too far in one direction and you cut too deeply into educational programs. Move too far in the other direction and you run the risk of exceeding your tax levy limit," said Timothy G. Kremer, executive director of the New York State School Boards Association.

James Van Der Beek is sexy and he knows it – but does PEOPLE?
In anticipation of Wednesday's big Sexiest Man Alive reveal, Tuesday's Don't Trust the B–– in Apt. 23 (9:30 p.m. ET/PT on ABC) features a very eager Van Der Beek vying for the coveted title.
During the episode, the actor's pal Chloe, played by Krysten Ritter, storms into the magazine's New York City headquarters and tries to take charge and get Van Der Beek on the cover.
In a clip from the show, Van Der Beek, 35, exemplifies his sex appeal by prancing around naked in front of costar Dreama Walker, who plays June Colburn, an avid fan of the annual issue.
"When the issue comes out every year, I look at it to see if they've gotten it right, and they haven't yet because I haven't seen myself on the cover," the former Dawson's Creek star recently told PEOPLE jokingly (in real life). "Brad Pitt, George Clooney? They try, and I give them credit for it. But my day will come."
PEOPLE's choice for the Sexiest Man Alive title will be revealed Nov. 14. Be one of the first to find out.

BELOIT -The mark of many good point guards is the ability to influence the game even when their shot is off. West Branch junior Melinda Trimmer showcased that skill Wednesday night against Canfield.
In a matchup of perennial area powers, Trimmer had 11 points, nine assists and made the defensive play of the night as the Warriors withstood a late Cardinal rally to win 52-50.
The Warriors (2-0) have now defeated the Cardinals (1-1) three straight times in the regular season. However, the last two years the Cardinals got the last laugh in the postseason, winning back-to-back district finals over West Branch.
"It's a nice win at the start of the year," Trimmer said. "We didn't play to our full potential tonight. Canfield played hard and showed how bad they wanted it, but we'll definitely take the result."
Trimmer, the reigning Northeastern Buckeye Conference Player of the Year and a Youngstown State recruit, made just one field goal, but was pinpoint with her passes and got into the lane frequently, which resulted in 12 trips to the foul line, many of them in the second quarter as the Warriors steadily built a 12-point lead.
"My shot was not exactly falling tonight," Trimmer said. "But I still tried to play as hard as I could on defense and focused on doing whatever I could to help the team win."
"Melinda did a great job of not getting discouraged," West Branch coach Walt DeShields said. "She showed how many ways she was able to help us tonight."
The beneficiary of many of Trimmer's assists was Pavin Heath, who finished with 20 points on the strength of four three-pointers. Trimmer found Heath open beyond the line early and often.
"I knew they would be focused on Melinda, so I knew I had to step up," Heath said. "I knew early that I would get some opportunities and she did a great job of finding me."
The Warriors led most of the game, and were in front by double digits much of the second half. Canfield, which lost four starters from last season's Division II regional finalist squad, had trouble finding an early rhythm on offense. Guard Rachel Tinkey, the Cardinals lone returning starter, had 26 points and eight rebounds, but the Warriors were able to neutralize everybody else.
"We have a lot of young kids in new roles," Canfield coach Pat Pavlansky said. "Even Rachel is having to adjust to being the main option of offense. We struggled for a lot of the night, but were able to do some nice things defensively late to get back in it."
Behind Tinkey, the Cardinals clawed back from a 47-36 deficit to close the margin to 49-44 with one minute to go. After a steal, the Cardinals got the ball and guard Lynnae Whitehead headed for the basket. However, Trimmer was with her step-for-step and blocked the layup attempt. The Warriors grabbed the rebound, forcing the Cardinals to foul. Trimmer iced the game at the free throw line.
"I knew she was going to try and take it to the hole," Trimmer said. "It felt really good. I like to be in a position to help the team at the end of the game."
CANFIELD SCORING: Lynnae Whitehead 2-0-5, Rachel Tinkey 8-7-26, Jamie Giambattista 0-0-0, Crissy Gelonese 0-0-0, Erin Risner 3-0-6, Emily Ellis 3-0-7, Ashley Kaleel 2-1-6, Savannah Barko 0-0-0. TOTALS 18, 8-14: 50
WEST BRANCH SCORING: Melinda Trimmer 1-9-11, Emily Menegay 0-0-0, Kaylee Manning 1-0-3, Pavin Heath 8-0-20, Amanda Linhart 2-2-7, Taryn Hahn 1-3-5, Lauren Martig 0-0-0, Lea Bock 3-0-6. TOTALS: 16, 14-22: 52
Three-pointers: Canfield (Tinkey 3, Kaleel, Ellis, Whitehead), West Branch (Heath 4, Manning, Linhart).

At 34 years of age, Truckee's own Katerina Nash is one of the most accomplished mountain bikers North America has seen and accompanies a sorority of racers with a realistic shot at an Olympic medal this weekend in London.
As a racing member on the longest-running, most successful single-sponsor team in the history of the professional sport, regardless of gender, the Truckee resident joins two others from her LUNA Chix Pro Team, Catharine Pendrel (Canada) and Georgia Gould (USA), at the Olympic Summer Games.
Men's and women's mountain bike competitions at this year's Olympics will take place along the gentle countryside of Hadleigh Farm in Essex London. All riders start together in seeded order, according to their world ranking, and must complete a set number of laps, with races lasting between 1 hour, 30 minutes and 1 hour, 45 minutes for both men and women. Feed and technical stations are set at designated areas where athletes can make repairs and accept supplies of food and water.
Born and raised to compete, you wouldn't know it by her warm and encouraging demeanor. Finding her love for cycling as a youngster, Katerina reminisces, "As little kids, we would always ride behind my grandmother's rural town, looking for wild blueberries and adventure. Once I began realizing I was a good rider, my grandmother would step up the pace, and I'd always have a difficult time keeping up."
Katerina moved to the United States from the Czech Republic in January of 2000 when she received a cross-country ski scholarship to the University of Nevada, Reno, where she graduated with a marketing degree in 2005. Now living near Truckee's quaint downtown, Nash enjoys quality local races and training rides, organic farmers market and the bounty of remote Sierra in all directions.
Katerina heads to London as one of the most experienced Olympians across all sports, representing the Czech Republic at the first-ever Olympic mountain bike event in 1996 in Atlanta. She also competed in the cross-country skiing events at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, and again in the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, making up a very short list of athletes who have represented their country at multiple Summer and Winter Olympic Games.
Katerina is best known on the bike for her deadly combination of sprinting prowess and exceptional technical skills. While the London course has limited technical challenges, its high-speed track and long finishing stretch will suit Nash very well.
Watch out for our hometown favorite. Having beat out Katie Compton on North American soil in recent years, she's found great success in Cyclocross techniques and strategies, earning a World Cup title, multiple National Championships, and USGP races and series. We are all rooting for you, Katerina!

Get Mom 'Extra Help' this Mother's Day
Mother's Day is right around the corner. It's always nice to give Mom a card, flowers, and candy. But this year people all over the country can help their moms save nearly $4,000 a year on the cost of prescription drugs. You can tell your clients to help their moms too and it won't cost them a dime.
The high cost of prescription medication can be a burden on mothers (or anyone) who have limited income and resources. But there is Extra Help available through Social Security that could pay part of her monthly premiums, annual deductibles, and prescription co-payments.
Social Security has an easy-to-use online application that anyone can complete at www.socialsecurity.gov. Just select the link on the left of the page that says, "Get extra help with Medicare prescription drug costs." To apply by phone or have an application mailed, call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) and ask for the Application for Extra Help with Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Costs (SSA-1020). Or go to the nearest Social Security office.
To learn more about the Medicare prescription drug plans and special enrollment periods, visit www.medicare.gov.
On Memorial Day, it's important to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. We at Social Security honor the heroism and courage of our military service members and mourn for those who have given their lives in defense of freedom.

Hi, thanks for reading. I'm a friend of Ben's and he's letting me put down this post. I run a small electronic music blog at astropope.com. If you have seen the post about how to boost wordpress audio with Amazon S3, then you know we are the guinea pigs to test a new breed of online music blogging.
Pompous? Maybe. Fun? Yes. If you like music as much as we do, you probably want to be wearing it around your neck 24/7. In my case, you want it to listen to on your public transportation commute to work. Right? Or you're having a hard time transporting 100+ gigs of music to your FreeBSD workstation. I know the feeling.
In this article, I am going to show how to set up your Sansa e260 as a "dual boot" with Sandisk's original firmware and the Rockbox software.
I am not an expert on the technical differences between MSC or MTP, but in order to install the Rockbox software, you MUST have your Sansa in MSC mode. In Sansa's original operating software, you will need to navigate to the "Settings" part of the wheel menu. Within there, you will find an option to switch between MCP and MTP. Many Google searches will give you quite intoxicating information of the minute details of both protocols.
The first thing it would be nice for you to do is update the firmware (since mine was refurbished, I had to update the firmware). Download the firmware updater and install it. I cannot always guarantee the accuracy of that link, but if it ever goes down, go to sandisk.com and look around.
Once you have updated what I called the "OG" Sansa software, you are ready to start installing Rockbox. You can begin by going to the install page and selecting the appropriate device.
At the time of this version, we are working with version 3.1 of Rockbox and SanDisk Sansa e200. I tried Option 1, the Automatic Install, but this did not work for me as it constantly claimed it could not detect my Sansa device, so I opted for the manual install.
Download the archive for the Rockbox installation and extract the contents to the root of your Sansa's file system. For example, H:\.rockbox
Once that has been completed, you can access both the Rockbox software and Sandisk original firmware by installing sansapatcher.exe.
You should now have a pretty sweet "dual booting" mp3 player. Upon reboot, it will default to Rockbox, but you can get to the "OG" by pressing left on the main control.
You have any problems, please let us know!

On a night that saw a major tea party upset in Virginia, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham out-maneuvered six challengers to secure the Republican nomination without a runoff.
The win represents an overwhelming victory for the GOP establishment, while also sending much of the South Carolina tea party packing.
"Leadership and problem-solving comes with some political risk," Graham told more than 250 supporters at the Hilton Columbia Center Hotel after he was declared the winner. "You get lots of people running against you. But I'm here to tell you it's very much worth it."
Graham collected about six out of every 10 Republican votes Tuesday.
The victory is considered especially significant because the tea party movement in South Carolina was among the most active in the nation. Graham also survived on a night of major political upheaval as House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., was defeated by his underfunded tea party challenger, fellow Republican Dave Brat.
Meanwhile, in the state's other U.S. Senate primary, incumbent Republican Tim Scott easily secured the nomination with better than 90 percent of the vote against Upstate resident Randall Young, who filed for the seat in March but then disappeared from the campaign trail.
Scott faces the Democratic Party's U.S. Senate primary winner, Joyce Dickerson of Columbia, in November.
She too is black, practically assuring that South Carolina will have its first elected African-American U.S. senator; Scott was appointed to the post two years ago.
Graham's win quiets what had been a months-long press by some conservatives and tea party activists who had worked tirelessly to make his cozy relationship with Arizona Sen. John McCain, and his willingness to sometimes work with Democrats, issues in pressing for his replacement.
A majority of the Charleston County Republican Party's executive committee had even voted to "censure" Graham last month for what they called un-Republican behavior.
College of Charleston political scientist Gibbs Knotts said two story lines were at play in the outcome Tuesday.
First, Graham didn't take the race for granted, campaigning full-bore while armed with his $7 million war chest.
Second, Graham's six little-known GOP challengers ended up dividing the anti-Graham vote, not allowing for a single or choice opponent to emerge.
Also, "there wasn't any national money that came into the race," Knotts said. Outside money played a significant role in tea party candidate Chris McDaniel's success last week in Mississippi, taking GOP Sen. Thad Cochran into a runoff.
Graham's closest competitor was state Sen. Lee Bright of Spartanburg, who trailed significantly with about 15 percent of the vote, according to unofficial returns with 97 percent of the precincts reporting.
Next in line were: Upstate businessman Richard Cash, 8 percent; Columbia minister Det Bowers, 7 percent; Charleston businesswoman Nancy Mace, 6 percent; Orangeburg lawyer Bill Connor, 5 percent; and Columbia lawyer Benjamin Dunn, 1 percent.
Graham, who is seeking his third term in Washington, will face Democratic state Sen. Brad Hutto of Orangeburg in November. Hutto was a 76 percent-24 percent winner over newcomer Jay Stamper, according to unofficial returns late Tuesday.
Graham remains a heavy favorite to win re-election in November. Hutto said Tuesday he is not going to simply roll over.
"Rather than appearing on the Sunday talk shows and manufacturing stunts to make the national news, I believe the people back home should be the highest priority for a Senator representing South Carolina," Hutto said. "I'll stand up to the party bosses and special interest groups that control Washington politicians like Lindsey Graham. I'll be an independent fighter for South Carolina."
Exit polls showed Graham's steady hand was what many voters wanted to stay with, including voters like John Mitchell, who cast his ballot Tuesday afternoon on James Island.
"He actually is open to talking to the other side," Mitchell said in explaining why he voted for Graham. "There's no way we can get anything accomplished if we don't talk to each other."
Beyond Graham's willingness to compromise, Mitchell said his time in office has been positive for South Carolina.
"He's done a lot of good for this state," Mitchell added.
During his victory speech, Graham returned to the themes he campaigned on, including strengthening the country's military and fighting radical Islam "over there so you don't come over here." Graham also asked minority voters to not write off the Republican Party, because it has a lot to offer.
Graham also promised to return to Washington to "repeal and replace Obamacare" with a bipartisan product.
"To my Democratic friends, Social Security is worth saving," he said. "If you need a partner, Lindsey Graham is here."

Steve Carell knows just how his friends on The Office feel now that the series is winding down – a lot like he felt when he left the sitcom in 2011.
"I just hope they savor it, because it was such a special thing for me and a really moving transition in my life. And it was hard to say goodbye," the actor, 50, told PEOPLE at Monday's Hollywood premiere of his new movie, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone.
Carell, who played Dunder Mifflin branch manager Michael Scott for seven seasons, says he's been in touch with all of his old castmates recently, and he feels their pain.
"They're going through the same thing that I went through two years ago," he says. "It's a lot because it was a big part of all of our lives. And we're all very close. So I understand what they're going through."
His empathy, Carell added, is all he can really offer. "There's no advice that I can give to them," he said. "They all are so appreciative for what [the show] was to each and every one of us."
The final episode of The Office is set to air May 16 on NBC. Carell himself will not appear in the finale. Last week, he told CNN why not.
"I figured the character would go back and visit everybody, but he wouldn't do it on camera at this point," he said. "I think he had grown past the idea of being in the documentary, that was my take on it … I just thought, yeah, he'd go back and visit, but he wouldn't want the camera crew to be documenting it."

From Vernayaz in the Rhone Plain, the Trient Valley seems almost unreachable. The narrow-gauge tracks of the cogwheel train "Mont-Blanc Express" Martigny - Châtelard - Chamonix conquer the valley-step in tight bends and ascend the sunny high plateau. Here you will find the small, tradition-rich resorts of Salvan, Les Granges, Les Marécottes and Finhaut. A cable car whisks guests to the hiking and skiing area of La Creusaz (1777 meters). An Alpine zoo and a beautiful swimming pool in the rocks await your visit.
At the entrance to the valley the first highlight of the Trient Valley can be found: a 200-meter deep gorge near Vernayaz that has carved the wild Trient stream's path through the rocks. A bridge, built at a dizzying height in 1934, links the two rock walls that face each other. Deep below, near the stream, a spectacular footpath leads across wooden footbridges.
Take a side trip to the impressive 114-meter-high waterfall near Vernayaz, it's well worth your while. In 1779 Goethe wrote: "At last we stood before the waterfall, which had earned its fame before all others." Shortly before Le Châtelard, the magical Nymph Grotto in the Tête-Noire Gorge (Grotte aux Nymphes / Gorges mystérieuses de Tête-Noire) is reached by foot via an adventure trail.
Particularly alluring is the hike from the Forclaz Pass to the mighty Trient Glacier, often considered one of the Alps' most beautiful glaciers. In the 19th century ice blocks were blasted from the glacier and exported by rail to the major French cities. The hiking tour follows the old, restored Suonen (Water conduits).
Near Le Châtelard another adventure beckons: One of the world's steepest funiculars, with a gradient of over 87%. A narrow gauge railway with tiny panorama wagons and a short open-air lift take guests to the nature and hiking paradise of the Emosson Reservoir Lakes. Here you will enjoy a panoramic view of Mont Blanc and the high mountains along the Trient River. Dinosaur hunters will find dinosaur traces at the upper reservoir lake.
For skiers and snowboarders there are five lift-systems in the winter sports arena above Les Marécottes on Mont Luisin. The small towns offer winter hiking trails and snowshoe opportunities.
- Mont-Blanc Express – spectacular narrow-gauge railway connection from Martigny via the Trient Valley to Chamonix (F).
- Emosson Reservoir Lake and narrow-gauge train – an extremely steep funicular and a very narrow-gauge train climb up to the reservoir lake located at 1930 meters. A beautiful view opens up to the Mont-Blanc.
- Trient Gorge – a 200-meter-deep canyon near Vernayaz that the wild Trient stream has carved into the rocks. Concrete suspension bridge built in 1934 at a height of 187 meters; a spectacular trail runs along the water below, a true climbing paradise.
- Trient Glacier – fabulously beautiful glacier on the northern slope of the Mont-Blanc Massif. It is 4.5 kilometers long and covers an area of 6 square kilometers.
- Rock pool Les Marécottes – the natural swimming pool is surrounded by granite rocks.
- Alpine Zoo Les Marécottes-Salvan – local wild animals, wolves, foxes, black bears, boars, ibex and rare birds call this home.

Ever Go Dumpster Diving?
|Email Print
Cory Doctorow published a story last year about his friend, Darren Atkinson, an accomplished corporate dumpster diver who has funded his musical career through the waste of corporations. "When he travels overseas, he is always sure to carry over a suitcase with a thousand or so British power cables (server manufacturers include both U.S. and U.K. cables with their products, so every data center regularly throws away the foreign leads). He sells them in London for a pound each, financing his round-trip airfare and hotel with his e-waste arbitrage."
Back in college, after reading about dumpster diving, I joined a few friends of mine in scouring some of the dumpsters at Carnegie Mellon. Carnegie Mellon is known for computer science and engineering, so there was always a lot of technology being tossed into the trash. We only went out a few times, to some dumpsters in a loading area of Wean Hall, and most of the time we came back empty handed (none of us were willing to go into a dumpsters). However, one time we brought back some huge spools of Cat-5 ethernet cable and baluns, turning that trip into a hugely (for college kids) profitable trip. Back then, all the buildings were wired for high speed internet and to interface with the system you needed a balun. You could buy it from the bookstore for $25, or you could buy it from us for $10 or $15 a pop on misc.market (the bboard used to buy and sell stuff on campus). One of my friends, over the summers, would do subcontracting work on new office buildings and he borrowed some tools so we could crimp and attach RJ-45 connectors. We would sell ethernet cable on the cheap and then the baluns that would help you connect them to the network. I still have one of those baluns in a box… though it's probably worth nothing now. It wasn't a bad racket for some weekend beer money.
This isn't a true dumpster diving story in that no dumpster were involved but we used to scour the dorms after finals week for discards. People would just leave perfectly good stuff outside their doors for people to take. My friend made a habit of finding all the dorm fridges and storing them in his room for the summer, he could sell them for $100 a pop come the fall semester. There were pots and pans, furniture, and all sorts of electronic equipment; all sitting in piles for you to take. The reason why there was so much quality stuff was because CMU had a lot of international students who, if they were moving back abroad, weren't going to be taking their stuff with them. Man those were the days…
Have you ever gone dumpster diving?

We know that Kyrie Irving and Derrick Williams are set to go at the top of the draft, but as to what teams will be taking them, that is still up in the air.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are not going to trade the No. 1 pick, and all signs point to Kyrie Irving as being the first piece to help replace LeBron James, but they need more than just a point guard to fill the void left by the game's biggest name.
The second piece will likely come at No. 4 and Cleveland could take any number of players, but not Derrick Williams.
The Arizona Wildcat forward is widely considered the second-best player in this draft but the Minnesota Timberwolves have been a lightning rod for trade rumors during the draft process and could allow any team into the No. 2 pick for the right offer.
There are rumors circling a large group of veterans and we could see trades come fast and furious in this draft with big names landing at new teams before the draft is complete.
The Washington Wizards have three picks in the top 34; the New York Knicks, Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns and Detroit Pistons could all be on the move; and the Portland Trail Blazers have been active in trying to move up for a point guard.
We're going to go over all this and more as we look at the latest speculation in the NBA Draft.

The Summerville Fire Department Over-the-Hill-Gang proved they are more Fantastic Four than over the hill, when they came in second in the world in the Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge, Over-40 team relay October 27.
Missing first place two seconds and they came within one second of breaking the world record, the SFD team beat last year's world champion – the U.S. Air Force and last year's second place winner Winston-Salem, NC. It even beat the European all-star team, Team Europe.
The winner of the Over-40 was Waukegan, Il.
The world record for the event is 1.16 and SFD accomplished it in 1.17.
The SFD team ran the challenge with a handicap. It is a four-man team while its competition all have five-man teams.
This is the second championship the team has competed in. It won the Nationals a few weeks ago.
The four-man team is comprised of Kenny Sott, 56, Rodney Profit, 48, Billy Penn, 40 and Mike Quick, 45.
"We just have to work harder," said Sott. "We had a goal of winning, of course, but this is really our first year of competition and only the second competition…not bad."
The event was taped by CBS and will be aired sometime in early December, they said.
However, anyone wishing to view it now can do so at firefighterchallenge.com.
So what's next?
"We're training now!" said Penn, "for next year."
The four said it was great to have the support of their department, the town and their families.
"The competition was live streamed around the world," said Profit, "and the guys here were watching while it was happening and so were our families."
"We had supporters on the ground, too…Lindsey Penn was there as were Cpt. Jacob Evans' parents – Ken and Jill Evans – who happened to be in Las Vegas at the time and came to root for us."
They came in 19th in the entire competition. The top 18 competitors get to go to the Cotton Bowl for the All Star competition.
"However," said Sott, "we may still get to go if another team can't make it."
Scott said those going to the Cotton Bowl get to take part in unfurling a 150-yard flag down the football field. "It takes 350 people to unfurl that flag."
The World Championships were held in Las Vegas. The team members paid their own hotel, food and other expenses. The SFD covered the airfare for the team members. Others paid their own way. They stayed at the Stratosphere.
"We want to thank the town, the department, the community and our families for their support," said Profit. "We couldn't do it without them."
The team is currently looking for business sponsors.
"We would post a banner with our sponsors names, put articles in the newspaper and have photos, etc., with their logos," said Penn.
Anyone wishing to sponsor the team should contact Penn or Profit at the Summerville Fire Department.

Q: We have been trying to get a refund from Southwest Airlines for almost one year. It�s a refund that Southwest fully admits it owes but always finds another excuse not to pay. I hope you can help us.
Last spring, my family had tickets to fly from Fort Myers, Fla., to Milwaukee. When we arrived at the gate, a Southwest agent told us our flight was oversold and that all seats had been assigned. We were denied boarding.
They informed us that we had two options: either accept a refund of the cost of our return flight and find our own way home, or take the next available flight from Ft. Myers to Milwaukee, which was not until two days later.
We took the refund. The agent wrote a check with the numerical amount of $1,387.20. However, she wrote the dollar amount in longhand as �One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Three 40/100.� Therefore, there was a discrepancy in the two identified amounts written on the check.
In all the commotion that was occurring with a number of passengers trying to deal with this same issue, we did not notice Southwest�s error in writing this check. We only discovered the error when we were notified five days later that our bank refused to deposit the check because the dollar amount did not match the legal written amount.
We contacted Southwest by phone and were told they would write a new check. But we�ve gone back and forth for months, and I�ve been getting passed from one department to another. We�ve also reported this to the Department of Transportation. Still no check.
As a result of Southwest Airlines� denying us boarding rights to our scheduled flight, we incurred significant costs to obtain four one-way tickets on another airline. Because we were forced to buy one-way tickets with less than seven days advance purchase, we had to pay the highest rate possible. Can you help us get our money back? � Greg Melgares, Milwaukee, Wis.
A: Southwest should have written you a check in the right amount when you couldn�t board. But that�s not all.
Have a look at the airline�s travel policies (www.southwest.com/assets/pdfs/corporate-commitments/contract-of-carriage.pdf). Its contract of carriage (PDF download) spells out Southwest�s obligations when you�re turned away at the gate, a process referred to as involuntary denied boarding. Check out section 9 under �Service Interruptions.�
You were entitled to more than just a refund for being kicked off your flight. You should have received twice the sum of the value of your remaining flight coupon, or you could have opted for flight vouchers for the same amount.
No question about it, Southwest shorted you.
I�m surprised the Transportation Department didn�t get involved in your case. The involuntary denied boarding compensation requirements are part of federal regulations, and they are well-enforced by the government.
If this ever happens to you again, don�t allow yourself to be processed by a ticket agent. I understand there were crowds at the airport � after all, it was spring break � and that the agents seemed overworked. But this is what they do, and you shouldn�t feel bad if they�re having a stressful day.
Stop the process. Pull up the airline�s contract of carriage on your cellphone and read the paragraphs about involuntary denied boardings. Don�t let them hurry you up and force a resolution. Read the check and make sure it lines up with what the contract says.
I contacted Southwest on your behalf. It called you and apologized, saying the person responsible for your refund had left the company and that your refund had �fallen through the cracks.� It overnighted to you a check for the correct amount and a $500 travel voucher.

To launch this innovative way of communication by the youth to the youth, we propose to begin the campaign by holding the event on 4 December, from the Civic Center Piazza to the Civic Centre A Block Council Chamber passing the "Torch of Hope" amongst each volunteer until it is handed to the Executive Mayor, Honourable Councillor Amos Masondo for the President. We will be pledging support to 0% new HIV infection rate by year 2020, making a plea to the City for partnership with the youth towards this goal.
The Human Chain campaign will be an annual event to mobilize youth towards the 0% new HIV rate by year 2020. The 2005 campaign will be a launch of this concept of youth mobilization and awareness creation about International Volunteer Day on the 5 December. In implementing this project, partnerships were formed with the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality, Department of Social Development, United Nations Volunteers, and the Human Sciences Research Council Social Aspects of HIV/AIDS and Health and others.
Youth 4 Life is targeting to mobilize 100,000 youth volunteers to pledge their commitment to the campaign this year. By 2010 we aim to have recruited 1,000,000 volunteers to participate in various Human Chains around the country. The campaign also intends to raise public awareness on other issues affecting the youth including volunteerism, moral regeneration, human rights abstinence and voluntary counselling and testing.

A Johnte is most-commonly known as a black man with an abnormally large genitalia. They are rarely seen, because they tend to mostly keep themselves occupied with women in their rooms throughout the night. During the day, a Johnte will eat non-stop. You may see something that you've never seen before and will never see again.
I saw a johnte take three women into his room the other night.

To get to Josh and Henry Streets front door, visitors have to pass an abundance of produce: carrots, blueberries, thorn-less blackberries, tomatoes, horseradish, pineapple guava and fig just to name some.
Henry Street is the owner of Charleston Homesteads, LLC, a family-run landscaping business that provides plants that are not only meant to be aesthetically pleasing to a persons yard, but are also edible. The business opened in July 2013.
In fact, the Streets have about 40 plant species on their property and all of it is edible. They grow enough to feed a family of four.
Henry Street said he and his brother practice something called permaculture.
We try to create plant communities that take care of themselves, he said. Its a plant community that is diverse and has a lot of variety of different plants that are more successful and lower maintenance.
On Saturdays Henry Street can be found at Summervilles Farmers Market, selling edible herb boxes and plants. His business works with homeowners associations to create landscaping designs that involve replacing existing landscapes with all-edibles.
The idea is to help people grow their own food and get away from pesticides and genetically modified organisms in stores.
Its just a healthier lifestyle, really, Henry Street said, and its a lot cheaper than buying organic produce in grocery stores in the long rum. It is a long-term investment, really.
Josh Street, an assistant in Charleston Homestead, said the edible landscape is still aesthetically pleasing; items like apple trees and peach trees look nice when they are in bloom.
Ive really enjoyed the basil and the herbs, Josh Street said. Blueberries have been really good, and figs have been my favorite food by far.
Josh Street said he likes the function of the whole project that is it aesthetically pleasing and just very logical.
Its easier to appreciate, he said. Its got a depth about it. It gives your yard a really original touch, and it shows off your personality.
Charleston Homestead consults with homeowners and comes up with the landscape designs and maintenance of plants. Henry said he tries to sell the idea of permaculture to residents because not many people know about it.
I basically try to replicate the forest: the forest has a community of plants that take care of each other, he said. You never see people out in the forest, fertilizing or spraying pesticides, because a forest naturally does that. That is what youre trying to create. The diversity is what it is all about.
For example, Henry Street really likes comfrey, an herb he describes as a root miner with a really long taproot that brings up a lot of minerals to plants. If someone were to plant a fruit tree next to comfrey, that comfrey will help provide minerals to that fruit tree.
Its helping the community grow their own food and be friendlier to the environment, he said. People go out and spray their lawns with pesticides and weed-killers and synthetic fertilizers. They really arent doing anything except killing their soil. Its a temporary fix, but eventually youre just going to have to replace your lawn. It just doesnt work.
Its better if you use a product that is organic the more organic matter you have in your soil, the healthier it is going to be.

beautiful place
Multimedia artist and licensed art therapist Lynne Okun is on a mission to capture the aesthetic essence of Ventura County through a new, innovative program. "I want to tell the world we live in a beautiful place," she says. How is she accomplishing this? Okun, one of the brains behind the Art Barn and Kids' Arts, spent the last decade inspiring and enabling youth to find their own passions through a broad spectrum of artistic endeavors. She notes, "I want to use art to help people build community inside and outside of themselves. When I work, I usually involve other people."
Okun began to find her niche at UC Davis, working with the preferred medium of the 1980s: silkscreening. She screened political posters, and realized that this was her opportunity to begin a lifetime of advocacy. Locally, Okun worked with the Ventura County Rainbow Alliance, where she helped nurture the spirits of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth. Okun's main tool is art therapy, which she defines as "anything artistic that can help somebody." Her most current endeavor is called "Exploring the YOUniverse through Art." Okun strives to help individuals create a sense of community by helping individuals discover their unique sense of artistic freedom. According to her website, she promotes awareness through permaculture, gardening, sustainable design, earth-building, partner yoga and Thai massage.
of town
As one who "loves to create programs from start to finish," Okun took it upon herself to create a program for underserved children in the outlying cities of Fillmore and Piru, primarily children who live in Central Station, a migrant worker community. Through the use of photography, she gives these children an opportunity to explore the landscapes of their local neighborhoods, along with treks to Rancho Camulos and Rancho Temescal in Piru. The goal of the project is to create about a dozen postcards showcasing the lost treasures of Ventura County through the eyes of young people who normally do not have access to digital media tools. Known as "Capture the Beauty," the project is ongoing. The images are taken from readily available cell phones and several donated digital cameras.
"I enjoy the process of creating programs and providing more information for people to create more projects for kids in the community," says Okun. Funded by the Ventura County Arts Council and private donations, "Capture the Beauty" is expanding past Piru and Fillmore by reaching out to all Ventura County youth. Images of Ventura County landscapes should be sent via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com with the name and age of the participant, the precise location and a title of the image. Find Lynne Okun's dynamic approach to life via her website: www.lynneokun.com.

It is the rare adopted child who has not received questions and comments about adoption. They come from people who know them or from complete strangers:"Do you know anything about your 'real' parents?" "Why were you adopted?" "Do you want to find your 'real' parents?" or "How come you don't look like your parents?"
Some people ask adopted kids questions because they are being friendly or curious. Most are unaware of the embarrassment and pain their questions or comments may cause. Other kids ... Continue ReadingPosted in Specific Groups

Last weekend, the Human Rights Campaign, in partnership with the National Education Association and American Counseling Association, hosted the first-ever "Time to Thrive" conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. The conference brought together hundreds of educators, school administrators, coaches, social workers, mental health providers, and other youth development staff for a conversation about promoting safety, inclusion, and well-being among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth.
Since taking office, President Obama and his Administration have taken significant steps to advance equality for the LGBT community – including addressing and preventing bullying and harassment of LGBT young people in classrooms and communities around the country. That's why I was proud to moderate a panel discussion with colleagues from the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, and Agriculture to highlight some of the bullying prevention and youth empowerment resources available across the federal government.Continue ReadingPosted in Specific Groups

In order to stop bullying before it begins, it is necessary to improve the consistency and comparability of data on bullying. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Education (ED), and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) partnered with bullying experts to develop a uniform definition of bullying for research and surveillance. In January 2014, CDC and ED released the definition listed below:Bullying is any unwanted aggressive behavior(s) by another youth or group of ...

The conversations we've had with community members across the country have taught us that training tools are among the most sought-after resources for promoting bullying prevention research and best practices.
Guided by feedback from community members, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) created the resources that would empower even more individuals to address bullying in the community. In partnership with the Federal Partners in Bullying Prevention, HRSA unveiled free Training Module Resources last year, to help local leaders organize an event or town hall on ...

It's over for Drew Carey and his longtime fiancée.
The Price Is Right host and Nicole Jaracz have ended their nearly five-year relationship. "He and Nicole still have a great deal of love and affection for one another," Carey's rep tells PEOPLE in a statement. "He will still be very involved with their son's life."
Carey, 53, and Jaracz announced their engagement in Oct. 2007. At the time, Jaracz had recently graduated from culinary school.
"They are both very happy and excited about their future together," Carey's rep said at the time, adding that no wedding date had been set.
In 2010, Carey dropped 80 lbs., and attributed his significant weight loss to the inspiration of his fiancée and her son, Connor, now 6.
Noting that he'd get winded while trying to keep up with the boy, Carey told Parade then, "That was a terrible feeling. I thought, I'm never going to see him graduate high school."

The plea deal – entered on his behalf by his attorneys to Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Leland Harris – comes with some pretty hefty consequences. The singer will have to complete five days of community labor and an anger management program, according to a statement released by the L.A. County District Attorney's Office. He also must pay $80,900 in restitution, and stay away from his neighbor and his family for two years.
In addition, Bieber, 20, was placed on a two-year probation.
"Justin is glad to get this matter resolved and behind him," Bieber's team said in a statement issued to Entertainment Tonight. "He will continue to move forward focusing on his career and his music."
The singer has had his fair share of trouble with the law this year. In addition to the vandalism charge, Bieber has also been arrested for assault and DUI, and has been accused of attempted robbery.
