I am so full. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were packed with delicious meals and I am officially stuffed. Like a turkey. With this in mind, the cocktail for this week is light and refreshing and even a little bit on the healthy side!
There is a grocery store in Miyazakidai, about 10 minutes from our apartment by train, that seems to always have unusual items in the produce department. From green papaya to star fruit and pomegranates, I have found things here that I've never seen in other Japanese-style grocery stores. It's like Christmas every time I walk through the doors and the first place I go is the self-named "obscure fruit spot." I love it.
During my most recent visit to this store, I found the mystical dragon fruit! This was exciting after seeing dragon fruit in several other blogs over the past weeks. I have to confess that I had never tried dragon fruit until this week. I know. Sad, isn't it?
The bright pink skin of the dragon fruit against (in this case) the black speckled white flesh is truly beautiful. In order to get some of the vibrant pink color into this cocktail, I muddled two pieces of the skin in the bottom of the glass with the fruit, lime juice and mint leaves. When that didn't work as well as I wanted it to, I added a touch of cranberry juice. Just enough to add color without taking away from the clean taste of the dragon fruit.
With a texture similar to soft kiwi, dragon fruit has a gentle sweetness that is not overpowering. The flesh is soft enough to scoop out with a spoon. I wonder, what would happen if you froze half of the fruit? Would it be like sorbet? I'll give it a try today and get back to you…
If you don't like the "floaties" in this cocktail, you can blend the dragon fruit and press it through a strainer into your glass. However, I don't think it will give you the same results in taste or presentation.
Dragon Fruit Mojito
Makes 1 drink
2 tablespoons fresh dragon fruit flesh
2 strips dragon fruit skin
12-15 mint leaves
2 oz white rum or vodka
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
3 oz Tonic or soda water
In the bottom of a glass, muddle the dragon fruit flesh and skin, mint leaves, and lime juice until well combined and fragrant. Add the vodka to the glass and stir to combine. Add ice to the glass and top with tonic or soda water. Garnish with a lime wedge and extra mint leaves.

I am glad that Helm is still in instead of Hartigan. As for Flip...I am still not completely sold on him, but for the sake of keeping a winning line up together, I am glad he is probably going to be ok.
I think we are all a little relieved it was just a typo! As for Flip, you gotta give him some credit, 5pts in 10 games (all even strength points) while being 7th in +/- and having no PIM, not to mention he has been playing with a nagging groin injury.

DEXTER – Residents of Dexter appeared to be going about their business as usual Tuesday, but conversations quickly turned to the impact the closing of the local shoe manufacturing plant will have on their community.
A sign standing by a vegetable stand on Route 7 stating "Pray for us" could just as easily have been meant for the unemployed Dexter people as for all Americans affected by the terrorist attacks a week ago.
"That company is the only thing that kept this town going," said Donald Morrill, 52. "I can see a lot of people will be leaving this area."
Morrill said that he had been raised in Dexter, and "when I was a boy, this town had five or six mills and industries. There is nothing left. This is really, really going to hurt."
As he bought a hot dog and a coffee for lunch Tuesday at Toot's Deli on Main Street, Morrill said his thoughts kept turning to a dear friend who has worked for Dexter Shoe for 30 years. "Thirty years. Thirty years," he said, shaking his head. "What is he going to do now?"
Farther north on Main Street, Earlene Briggs was at Shop 'n Save buying groceries. "We all knew it was coming," she said from her car in the parking lot. "They've closed Milo, Skowhegan and Newport. It was just a matter of time before we closed here."
Briggs said she worked for Dexter Shoe for eight years and was one of the first 20 workers laid off in 1998. "We're going to end up just like Corinna," she said. "Everyone will put a 'for sale' sign in front of their houses."
Monica Merrill of Dexter, who works for Shop 'n Save, was rounding up grocery carts in the parking lot. Her boyfriend, who has worked at Dexter for 7 years, had called her earlier that morning to tell her he was being laid off.
"I don't know what we're going to do," said Merrill, "but it is not just us who have family working there. This is going to affect all of us. The majority of [Shop 'n Save] customers work there. Some of our part-timers work there." Merrill said some of her co-workers were very upset when their husbands called and said they had lost their jobs.
"No one quite knows what is going to happen," she said.
Another customer, Elsie Sherwood, added, "They've always been here. It's going to change around here. That's for sure."
Mary Bugenske summed her feelings up in one simple statement: "Dexter Shoe closing is the end of the town of Dexter."
Sue Burton took a double hit Tuesday. Her husband has worked for Dexter Shoe for 17 years and is in upper management. Burton said her husband was aware of the impending closing several days ago, but "he doesn't know if this affects his job yet," she said Tuesday afternoon.
Burton also provides day care for two Dexter Shoe employees' children. "It could have been worse," she added. "I consider myself lucky because a few years ago, all my children were Dexter kids." She said as rounds of layoffs occurred over the past five years, many former Dexter employees found work outside of town.
That trend was echoed by Peggy Mossey, who also provides day care on Zions Hill. Mossey said that she used to have several children of Dexter workers but now the parents of her clients work in Bangor, St. Albans and elsewhere.
Robert Wintle of Dexter was slightly optimistic about the town's future. "A lot of people will be suffering for the short term," the 70-year-old said, "but eventually jobs will replace the ones that are lost. Maybe not a single company will come in here, it could take one or a half dozen, but the bottom line is people have to work."

"I will typically go up Whites Canyon to Plum Canyon to avoid that (Bouquet) intersection," said Silvers, 53, of Canyon Country. "It's a few more minutes out of my way, but less aggravation."
Silvers admits recent improvements to Bouquet Junction have relieved congestion, but during rush hour, he said it's still a mess.
"You just can't easily take out a shopping center to add more lanes," he said.
While several drivers continue to name Bouquet Junction as SCV's most notorious intersection, city traffic engineer Andrew Yi said complaints about the intersection have diminished since recent improvements.
"Bouquet Junction got a lot better since we put in a triple left turn," he said. "It used to be a four-minute cycle. Now it's about a two-minute cycle."
But Bouquet Canyon Road still has its issues.
For example, there is some congestion at northbound Bouquet Canyon Road turning onto Newhall Ranch Road, Yi said, but he expects the Cross Valley Connector will alleviate it.
But the city's most complained-about intersection lies on the other side of the valley: the crossing of Sierra Highway and Soledad Canyon Road.
Space and timing
Yi attributed to the congestion to multiple factors including mere traffic volume, limited access throughout the city and growth in the area.
There is no set plan to improve the intersection yet, but the city is looking into the feasibility of adding an additional left turn lane from northbound Sierra Highway onto Soledad.
It's another intersection Silvers tries to avoid.
"That arrow right there is the most unpredictable arrow," said Silvers, while pointing to the arrow signaling a left from northbound Sierra Highway onto Soledad Canyon Road.
"Sometimes that arrow will let three cars through and other times it'll let 10."
City traffic engineers retime signals once at least every three years, Yi said.
As a part of a citywide effort to retime 130 traffic signals, engineers will analyze this and other problematic intersections.
Areas of improvement
For the most part, April Bustos of Canyon Country believes traffic in the Santa Clarita Valley isn't so bad.
"I'd rather drive here than L.A.," Bustos said recently as she filled up her gas tank at the corner of Sierra Highway and Soledad Canyon.
City spokeswoman Gail Ortiz said local traffic problems used to be a primary concern at City Council meetings.
"When I came to the city, people came to council meetings screaming about traffic," she said. "If you weren't here 20 years ago, you just don't have an appreciation when compared to what it was like."
For example, she said, the "Canyon Country crush" between Whites Canyon Road and Sierra Highway "was even worse when it was four lanes. Now it's six lanes."
Safety has also called for traffic improvements.
"We recently put a protected left at Plum Canyon and Bouquet Canyon Road - traveling east to west on Plum Canyon," Yi said.
Yi said that by next year, Santa Clarita plans to begin using an intelligent transportation system which would measure the amount and speed of traffic on city streets.
The goal is to use that information to alert the public either via cell phone or internet, giving them the information needed to avoid potentially congested areas.
Yellow light, red lights
There are only a couple of those flashing yellow left-turn signals around town and there's a reason for that: They're being used on a trial basis, Yi said.
"By blinking it demonstrates much better observance by motorists - that's what it's supposed to do," Yi said. "We're trying it here to see if it reduces the amount of collisions."
The flashing yellow lights have been installed at the Valencia Boulevard and Citrus Street intersection and the Mall Entrance and Valencia Boulevard intersection.
The red-light cameras on seven different intersections throughout the city has improved traffic safety, Ortiz said.
"It's an expensive program to administer but the threat of having that huge ticket is changing behavior," Ortiz said.
On average, intersections with the red light cameras saw a drop in collisions involving red light violations from 2.8 to 1.1 annual collisions per intersection, Yi said.
The fines paid by red-light violators caught by those cameras feeds directly to cover costs of the program, Ortiz said.
Yi said there is no plan to add additional red light cameras.

This is a spin off of the Older siblings helping younger siblings with academics post.
I have 6 kids in my family. 3 of my own, 13, 8 and 6. Plus a 3yo nephew 2yo neice and 3 month old neice. And I have to say I rely on the older to help with the younger.
Starting when my oldest dd was 5, I had her watching 1 week old brother in his crib while I took a shower. When she was 7 she was rocking baby sister to sleep and now she regulary babysits whenever me and dh go out. 8yo ds helps take 3yo cousin to the bathroom and tutors his 6yo sister with her sight words. 6yo dd changes her 2yo cousins diapers, gets her snacks and "baby sits" while I clean the house.
I think there is nothing wrong with siblings helping out. Especially if you have older ones having their hands out wanting money lol

VATICAN CITY - The Vatican has again been embarrassed by a botched translation of its teachings, with the launch yesterday of an error-plagued book that implies the Holy See approves of contraception and euthanasia.
The errors came to light during a Vatican news conference launching "Youcat: Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church," a compilation of the thick volume of core church teachings. The book, a project of the Austrian, German and Swiss bishops' conferences, is to be given to young people attending this year's World Youth Day in Madrid.

If you've decided to resign from your position with a company, chances are you'll be asked to participate in a job departure or "exit" interview. This meeting typically involves a human resources representative asking you pointed questions about your decision to leave the business. While this may feel like an awkward encounter, there are a number of good reasons to participate in the interview.
Get Closure
Participating in a job departure interview will give you the chance to broach subjects you might have been uncomfortable discussing while employed with the company. An exit interview usually includes questions about why you're leaving, what you liked and disliked about your job, and what kind of circumstances would have made you stay with the position. This is an ideal time to bring up issues such as excessive workloads, below-average salaries or unfair treatment of supervisors. While some people choose an exit interview as the time to vent and outline everything they disliked about their job, be professional and straightforward in responding to the interview questions.
Help Former Colleagues
Chances are you had some good working relationships with co-workers who are still employed with the company. Your forthright approach to answering job departure interview questions may help improve the working conditions for them after you leave. Many exit interviewers will question you on how well you were managed and whether you had the support and tools you needed to perform your job. If you know your former colleagues are overworked, understaffed and poorly managed staffers dealing with outdated equipment, this is the time to go on the record.
Ensure Good Future References
Being honest but not brutal at your job departure interview can leave a good impression with the human resources department. You'll be viewed as a professional looking to expand his horizons with new opportunities rather than a disgruntled employee who can't wait to escape the building. Leaving a good final impression will help ensure that you get a good referral when future employers call to verify your past employment.
Leave the Door Open
Just because the job you're leaving wasn't right for you at the time doesn't mean there won't be better opportunities with the company in the future. If you offer suggestions for improvement during your job departure interview, your comments may find their way to higher-ups in the company. This could help your career down the line, especially in specialized industries or tight-knit business communities.

THE WINNERS:For a second time in 2002 we have a tie in a dye contest! The two winners are awesome dyes with high degrees of difficulty and innovation. Our winners are Marty Bindel of Baltimore and K.J. Landgraf from Cordova, MD. Marty was a second place finisher last year and also won the Inside Lacrosse 2002 Dye Contest. He and his father work together (encouraged - we know dads are no more coordinated than kids) on the dyes and they are pretty spectacular. The second place winners are pretty impressive on their own and might have broken into the winners circle if not for our two amazing winning dyes. Two of the second place winners, Peter Boone and Zach Uhler, got first place votes, but not enough to topple the winners. Over forty other submissions were great dyes and terrific efforts, but we have to cut off the field somewhere. Keep up the great work! We expect to see many of you back with contenders in the future!
2000-2001 Winner / 1999-2000 Winner / 2001-2002 Winner
Thankseveryone for all your submissions! Keep dyeing and documenting the steps with photos. We'll just kick off the next contest right now! E-Lacrosse will come up with some awards to offer. On September 15 (originally June 15), 2003 we will choose the very best dye job submitted and showcase the stick and it's designer right here on E-Lacrosse in July! Entries should include:
The contest is for individual stringers and not for Lacrosse stores and kids who just buy a head at a store already dyed. Parents may participate with their kids. We know kids are better at this anyway. Start now. Be careful. Send as many entries as you like. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

Springfield M1A or DPMS 308?

Rifle Country
> Springfield M1A or DPMS 308?
November 7, 2008, 10:27 AM
Springfield M1A (Loaded, SOCOM etc) or DPMS 308 (SASS, AP4 ECT)? Yes the differences are night and day. I like both and can only get one. So let me know which one you would pick and why please.
If you enjoyed reading about "Springfield M1A or DPMS 308?" here in TheHighRoad.org archive, you'll LOVE our community. Come join
today for the full version!
November 7, 2008, 12:03 PM
I have the sme decision and will decide on the DPMS 308. I can purchase a DPMS 308 for $1100 and a spare .308 upper for around $600. This virtually gives me 2 rifles for the price of 1 M1A loaded. The AR system has proven to be combat effective by the US military and the .308 caliber is great! Eventually all barrels will fail once you put enough rounds through them, if you shot ALOT like I do. When this happens, I can do the work on the AR myself; the M1A has to go to a gunsmith.
November 7, 2008, 12:05 PM
Even though it cost more im getting the M1A.
November 7, 2008, 05:24 PM
You guys are killing me! I want both but can only get one. The M1A feels more like a riflemans rifle to me but I have two AR-15 that shoot very well too and having a real caliber would be a plus! I'm fortunate enough to own a beautiful M1 Garand with a new Wilson 308 Win bbl you think I should stick with that and get the DPMS for the "Tactical" factor?
If you don't mind a little show and tell here she is:
November 7, 2008, 05:31 PM
I'm deeply torn on this one. I personally can't stand an M1A that isn't in a wood stock. For some reason it just seems like the only appropriate way to go. As such if it were down between the DPMS and anything but the plain wood stock M1A I would go DPMS. I really love the Garand and I really like the plain M1A and if those were what you were looking at it would be a tough call. I wouldn't be able to scope the M1A and I would the DPMS. I think I would get more functional use out of the DPMS but having a classic looking M1A would be a big grin maker every time it was looked at or used.
November 7, 2008, 05:43 PM
I would take the M1A... Perhaps the SOCOM 16 with a good scout scope. I am pretty biased towards piston-operated rifles though. They just keep going, and going, and going...
November 7, 2008, 05:49 PM
Go nuts and have SEI built you an M14 EBR like mine - No food for termites allowed :evil:
November 7, 2008, 06:04 PM
You already have ARs, stick with the manual of arms you're already familiar with.
November 7, 2008, 07:06 PM
Definitely the M1A... Stand out amongst a sea of black rifles. No termite food here either :)
N I C E M1 though jpwilly. I too had to have one to keep the M1A company
November 7, 2008, 07:22 PM
I have both and if I could only get one it would be the M1A. I like the feel, the way it looks, the way it sights, and no twang when you pull the trigger.
November 7, 2008, 07:51 PM
November 7, 2008, 07:52 PM
Whats a typical M1A run and where's a good place to find them?
November 7, 2008, 09:42 PM
i would go with the ar because that is what i am most comfortable with.
November 7, 2008, 09:52 PM
If I had the money I'd go with the m1a. I'm poor so I had to get the DPMS....
Great rifle though, I can shoot MOA all day. Mine seems to like 150 Grains the most, anything over 170 and it gets a little squirrelly.
November 7, 2008, 10:51 PM
I have both and love my M1A Loaded.
November 7, 2008, 11:04 PM
You already have an excellent Garand, get the DPMS LR 308 or in whatever configuration. It is an excellent buy. And think of the ammo and mags you can get for the difference in price. The M1A must rely on the knowhow of a skilled gunsmith who works on M1As as a rule; this is not the case with a DPMS LR 308.
November 8, 2008, 10:11 AM
My criteria is if you want to run optics or not. If so, go with a flat top DPMS. If not, go with the M1A. I wanted optics, so I ordered a DPMS LR308B. Last April.
November 8, 2008, 10:20 AM
I would go with the DPMS for a few reasons. You can easily change the upper and have multiple calibres, mount optics easier, find parts, do repairs, replace the barrel and it doesn't require the constant care and affection that a loaded M1A does to keep it in tip top shape.
Not saying the M1A is a bad rifle. Its pretty good. Its also more expensive than it needs to be and needs the loving care of a good gunsmith to do anything but minor repairs and adjustments usually. It does have fairly decent iron sights though and I wouldn't turn away a nice wooden stocked one.
November 8, 2008, 10:34 AM
ParaElite The M1A must rely on the knowhow of a skilled gunsmith who works on M1As as a rule;
For what reason?
November 8, 2008, 10:38 AM
I almost can't believe that question needs to be asked...
I never fully grasped what my uncle meant when he said "I miss my m14" untill I got my hands on an m1a, honestly, nothing ever felt so right.
November 8, 2008, 10:54 AM
M1A. Best iron sights period. Lube the bolt roller, keep the gas system dry, it'll run forever.
30 years, seven M1As, zero malfunctions. Not one. Ever.
.308, 7.62 NATO, hand loads, not one.
Not to mention GI M-14s I have used. No malfunctions with those either.
Current production mags from CMT are pretty much perfect.
If you look hard enough you can find one with all GI parts. Check the gun shows.

I love'em both.. Get the M1A so you can check it off the list while you can.
So what I'm saying it that , Get'em both... but M1A first.
November 8, 2008, 11:07 AM
I would go with the DPMS for a few reasons. You can easily change the upper and have multiple calibres, mount optics easier, find parts, do repairs, replace the barrel and it doesn't require the constant care and affection that a loaded M1A does to keep it in tip top shape.
"Constant care and affection?" The AR wrote the book on excessive required maintenance, and still holds the that undisputed title. The M1A requires nearly no maintenance by comparison.
Having trained on the M16, I will take my current M1A over an AR any day of the week and twice on Sunday based solely on the M1A's vastly increased ease on maintenance and not even considering improved ergonomics, reliability, and an overall better shooting experience.
The M1A is so much better, it isn't even in the same league--it isn't even in the same sport. Like others on this post, I found true love the first time I shot my M1A. "Nothing has ever felt so right" is a perfect way to describe it.

M1A standard or scout/bush is the way to go .
November 8, 2008, 04:59 PM
This is a very useful thread. I'm trying to decide between the Springfield M1A SOCOM Urban Camo and the Springfield MA9104 M1A Standard with a MOSSY OAK stock.
H2O MAN, you're the resident expert on the M1A so is there a significant accuracy trade off between the standard barrel and the SOCOM barrel? What is the standard or SOCOM M1A capable of in terms of accuracy? Is there anything else to consider when choosing between the two? I have a Remington 700 (blueprinted) in .308 with an AI stock (10 round detachable magazine), Kreiger barrel (1:10 twist), Obermeyer chamber, Leupold Mark 4 scope and AI bipod suitable for long-range work so I figured that a SOCOM would be a good companion, particularly if I can feed both with the same loads.
I have a Mini-14 too so I like the idea of having the "original" version. The reliability of the M14/M1A/Mini-14 platform is hard to beat.
November 8, 2008, 05:04 PM
If plan to keep iron sights M1A but the AR 10s are good with scopes!

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
Is Dwyane Wade's ex-wife Siohvaugn having a melt down? A tipster sent Deadspin.com photos of Siohvaugn Funches in the middle of downtown Chicago. She appears at the Richard J. Daley Center at 50 W Washington. This is where most Civil Matters are held including Domestic Relations and some Child Support. The tipster claims they overheard Funches ranting about "$90 million contracts" and "houses on the water." This comes just weeks after Funches attempted to sue Wade for portions of his endorsements claiming he was hiding money that he was ordered to pay her. She later dropped the charges. Has she officially lost it or is she seeking justice by any means necessary?
Views: 95362
that is just sad. For her childrens sake, she shouldn't be resorting to stunts like this.
I hope she gets whatever help she needs, whether it be in the form of medicine or talk therapy, because this is much. I understand that Wade may be really frustrated dealing with it, but underneath it all, that woman mothered his children (plus did so much for him at the beginning of his career) and he doesn't have to do it directly, find SOMEONE who can help her.
She clearly has been driven INSANE
@Old Spice, agreed 100%. Who is that helping her?
She is only helping his case . I really wish she wouldn't do things like this . I have been on her side from the beginning . I feel he was wrong to take her babies away from her , knowing that he will be gone all the time , now they don't really have either of their parents , She helped him get to where he wanted to be , and he really disrespected their relationship ( publicly ) . I understand her pain , but this is not the smartest move on her behalf . If I was her , I would have never left that house . I know she was hurt , but now she has given him the upper hand .
I thought she had a house....so sad to see her like this
If I lost my child I think I'd go nuts too...

I knew that I had a 3 week vacation from school, but somehow along my days spent in bed instead of in the books, I somehow came to the conclusion that I only had 2 weeks vacation and that I would be returning to school today. Mentally I wasn't prepared to go back to school today, and I really wasn't prepared for waking up early. I thought I had an 8am class, then something told me to check my schedule online, and I realized that class was at 1pm, not 8am (yes, more sleep for me).
Then I woke up this morning dreading going to class - I just wasn't all there today. All of a sudden I remember that I had some business to clarify in the financial department at school and that I couldn't attend class this week until I faxed them this information. For some reason though, I couldn't find the paper and I can't really say that I was interested in finding it. Finally I came to the conclusion that I would skip my 1pm class, but make it to my 6pm - I knew I'd be good by then.
All day I had been in contact with my financial planner via email trying to get this all sorted out so that I could attend class this week. My fax machine wasn't working, and I wasn't going to drive to Office Depot to pay a couple cents to send it off. By this time it was about 4pm and I was loosing hope that I'd make it to class for 6pm.
Finally I gave up! I asked my financial planner if I could just bring the paper to her tomorrow in person around 5pm so that I could make it to my 6pm class. Not even a minute later she emailed me back saying "There are no classes tomorrow, school doesn't start until next week" - ha I knew it! If I hadn't been a lazy bum today, I would have driven 45 minutes to school and wasted my gas only to find out that there were no class - how stupid would I have felt? Lol. If I had sent my paper in on time, I would have showed up at school today wondering why I wasn't fighting someone in the parking lot for a spot.
OOOOOhhh weeeeeee - an entire (extra) week off that I can spend at home with my fiance (since he's home too - see blog below) - it's like vacation! Today I was thinking that we should take a quick vacation. There is a cruise company that does day trips to The Bahamas (which we've traveled on before) that is only charging $30 per person due to the fact that no one is traveling - we just might take advantage of that this week.
As far as the wedding, we are still planning on getting married this year - at the end of the day it's not about "the wedding" but instead the fact that we want to marry one another. One of the venues that we were considering in the beginning has an extremly affordable package for daytime weddings...
For a lot cheaper than anything else that we looked at we can have buffet (instead of the sit down dinner that we planned on), our cake, linens, chair covers (which I'm not really a fan of, but who cares at this point), cocktail hour, a chocolate fountain (which I really want for some reason) and check this out...a candy bar (oh hell yes). We'll see what happens - don't cry for me Argentina, I am still getting married this year - how's that for thinking positive?

Wednesday's storms in the mountains gave a needed boost to snowpack numbers.
According to figures provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, snowpack in the South Platte River Basin on Thursday was at 73 percent of its historic average for Dec. 20.
Two weeks ago, South Platte Basin snowpack was at just 39 percent of average.
Greeley, like many other cities in Colorado, depends heavily on snow in the mountains to fill reservoirs that provide water to residents. Weld County's farmers and ranchers, too, depend on winter and spring snows to provide runoff that fills irrigation ditches during the growing season.
Much to the delight of local water users, meteorologists with the National Weather Service reported that 8-12 inches fell on most mountain areas north of Interstate 70 on Wednesday.
All of Colorado's eight major river basins have seen sharp increases in snowpack numbers.
The Arkansas River Basin has been the driest in 2012, but during the past two weeks, it has seen its snowpack go from 28 percent of average to 58 percent of average.
Snowpack in the Colorado River Basin — where the Front Range also gets some of its water supplies — stood at 67 percent of average on Thursday, after sitting at 39 percent of average two weeks ago.

Big win for the Montreal Canadiens in Game 5 last night at the Bell Centre.
The Habs staved off elimination with the 7-4 victory, forcing a Game 6 in New York Thursday night but it was the performance of left wing Rene Bourque that is getting all the attention today, with many suggesting Bourque helped save the Canadiens' season.
Bourque had the Bell Centre going wild with his first playoff hat trick of his career.
His Dad, Gary Bourque, couldn't be prouder.
" It was a great night for me and the family and the community." he told CJAD's Aaron Rand Wednesday afternoon.
Bourque says after his son's three goals, the small community of Lac La Biche, Edmonton celebrated - some by tossing hats on his lawn to mark the career first.
The senior Bourque predicts tomorrow night's game will be an interesting one.
"I guess when you're determined and focused and the line is playing unbelievable for one another, stuff like this happens. It doesn't happen all the time, but last night was the night."

Evolution of the archival profession and development of the records discipline
ICARUS has been instrumental in establishing a research infrastructure for the emerging academic discipline of archives and records management in the UK. Drawing on historical understanding of the archives profession, including archival education, ICARUS has played a leading role in the development of an academic discipline in the field.
From 2006 to 2007 Elizabeth Shepherd led the AHRC-funded Network project, ARMREN, which resulted in, for the first time, a baseline map of research activity, a research network and the beginning of a UK research agenda. Her historical research, including the monograph, Archives and Archivists in 20th Century England, articles and chapters on 'Archives' in British librarianship and information work 1991-2000, 2001-2005, has been foundational in establishing a new field of archival history. In addition, work on UK research infrastructure reported on in the article, 'An 'academic dilemma: The tale of archives and records management' (JoLIS, 2013) has helped the discipline to develop critical mass. Geoffrey Yeo has established and edits the discipline's first UK series of monographs (Principles and Practice in Records Management and Archives, Facet) and has also written and spoken extensively on professional developments, including Geoffrey Yeo and Erica Ander, 'Student expectations of the UK job market in archives and records management', King's College London, February 2008 and Geoffrey Yeo, 'The role of the archivist in document management and records management', Congreso de Archivos Municipales Españoles, Lugo, Spain, November 2008.

NEW ORLEANS - Tropical Storm Matthew, the 13th named storm of the 2004 hurricane season, weakened Sunday after moving into southern Louisiana, causing scattered flooding as heavy rain drenched the area.
Elsewhere, the 14th named storm, a "subtropical" system named Nicole, blew gusty wind across Bermuda.
A tropical storm warning along the Gulf of Mexico from the Alabama-Florida state line westward to Intracoastal City, La., was discontinued when Matthew weakened to a tropical depression, the National Hurricane Center said in Miami.
Up to 12 inches of rain flooded streets and homes in southeastern Louisiana, according to the National Weather Service. No injuries were reported.
A canal levee was breached in Terrebonne Parish, causing flooding in about a dozen homes, said Mart Black, spokesman for the parish's emergency operations center.
Officials patrolled flooded streets and blocked motorists from driving into lower St. Bernard Parish southeast of New Orleans, where up to 2 feet of water filled the roads, said Larry J. Ingargiola, parish emergency chief.
New Orleans received about 3 inches of rain Saturday and Sunday and saw scattered power outages.
The hurricane center issued what it expected to be its last advisory for Matthew on Sunday morning, when its sustained wind had slowed to about 35 mph and its poorly defined center was about 40 miles west of New Orleans.

Dang Spot by Plaid from their album xltronic Plaid is a British electronic music duo comprising Andy Turner and Ed Handley, and based out of London. They are former members of The Black Dog and used many other names, such as Atypic (Andrew Turner) and Balil (Ed Handley), before settling on Plaid. They have collaborated with female singers Mara Carlyle, Nicolette and Björk, and have released records on the labels Clear, Peacefrog, Black Dog Productions, and Warp Records. In 2006, the duo composed the original music and soundtrack to the Japanese anime film Tekkon Kinkreet. Aside from their own material, Plaid have done extensive remix work for many other artists, including Red Snapper, Björk, Goldfrapp, and The Irresistible Force. Parts in the Post (2003) contains just a handful of Plaid's remix work to date. Plaid often works collaboratively with video artist Bob Jaroc, whose animations often accompanied the music during live performances. They have developed a DVD consisting of new material and video artwork to accompany the music, entitled Greedy Baby.

Richie Kavanagh: My Dog Spot
Pointer :30, element.honda.com
Cal Worthington and his "dog" spot. A southern California fixture for nearly six decades.
Spot's mum and dad take him to the beach. Spot builds sandcastles, and covers his dad with sand while he's sleeping! While exploring the beach, Spot meets another dog, and they play "chase". Series 1 episode 13. First broadcast on 17th July 1987. en.wikipedia.org catalogue.bbc.co.uk www.tv.com Plus a short bonus clip of Andy Crane reading out some kids' birthday cards :)
It's a windy day, and Spot wants to fly his kite. He has some trouble getting it airborne, and eventually it gets stuck in a tree, too high for him to reach. Suddenly a hat, blown by the wind, lands on his head! It belongs to Mr Kangaroo, who retrieves Spot's kite from the tree. Spot tries to fly the kite again, and this time it goes soaring into the air! Series 1 episode 12. First broadcast on 16th July 1987. en.wikipedia.org catalogue.bbc.co.uk www.tv.com
Surprised there isn't more of these online- Cal Worthington practically owned the airwaves, his commercials were inescapable. He owned Worthington Chevrolet in Sacramento, and a few other car dealers on the West Coast. I heard he just retired not too long ago. I pretty much quit watching TV in the 90s, but all through the 80s these commercials usually included the "Cal Worthington and his dog Spot" intros that dated back to the 60s, along with the "Go see Cal" theme song that many misinterpreted as "Pussy Cow". The video glitches are from the TV broadcast's master, just adds to the flavor of local commercials.

Head Up The Ass syndrome. Living or acting (especially while driving) in such a way that any sane person would easily conclude that you've clearly got shit for brains.
1) Most drivers in Miami have an incurable case of HUTA; 2) "Pull your head out of your ass, dickweed, the view's nicer out here!" is commonly shouted at drivers with HUTA.

Apparently, being a major motion picture star has its perks. I saw these photos today and I immediately stormed into the Jaco offices.
"Why don't I have my own track suit?!"
Are you starring in a major motion picture, Ryan?
And then security escorted me out of the building.
But a big congrats to Chris Pine for looking so dapper on set in his Jaco track suit. I'm jealous. (And for starring with Brooklyn Decker, but that's a whole seperate blog post.) The movie is set for release in May, 2014.
And any Hollywood producers out there, I'm ready for my close up.

THE owner of a luxury caravan park is hoping visitors past and present can help him celebrate the complex's 50th anniversary.
Ken Britton, who runs the multi-award winning Seafield Park in Seahouses, had planned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the day the site first opened for business by staging an exhibition of five decades of caravanning.
But almost every photograph Ken and his family had of the park has been lost.
So now he's hoping to use the pictures and memories of former guests to highlight the fun holidaymakers have had at the Seafield since June 1, 1960.
"The world has changed enormously over the past 50 years, but the affinity the British have for caravanning lives on," said 62 year-old Ken.
"I grew up here at the Seafield and know the affection with which many people look upon this place, I want them to share the laughs and enjoyment they've had here on holiday in their caravans over the last five decades.
"My father Jack and mother Mary had moved to Seahouses from Durham in 1947 to run a hotel and opened the Seafield caravan park 13 years later."
He added: "Back then, nobody realised just how popular it would prove to be.
"I know we had books of photos we took over the years, but we've ransacked the offices and all our homes and can't find them; we've just got the faded old ledger with the first advert that announced we were open for business.
"So we'd love it if anyone has family snapshots of their holidays at the Seafield anytime since 1960 up to the present day to send us a copy and tell us what they remember about their time here.
"I want to put as many as I can on show here in an exhibition to demonstrate just how far caravanning has come since the sixties."
Ken explained: "Back then people were staying in glorified touring caravans and to be honest the facilities were limited.
"Some people are still a bit snobby about caravan holidays, but we've moved it on here and offer the very highest quality facilities.
"That's reflected by some of the guests we get, people like Coronation Street star Chris Gascoyne, who plays Peter Barlow, he was here recently.
"We also get a lot of footballers, like the former Sunderland and Wigan player Kevin Kilbane who is now at Hull City and some of the Newcastle Falcons rugby players, like the All Black star Carl Hayman."
The Seafield caravan site was launched with no fanfare back in 1960 - just a one-inch advert in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle which promised a limited number of pitches being available 'for caravans of proprietary makes' on the site overlooking Seahouses bay and the Farne Islands.
Back in the June 1960, when sliced bread had just gone on sale in Britain for the first time and a pint of milk was three pence in today's money, holidaymakers could put a caravan on the Seafield for 40 for the entire year.
The park had a restaurant and toilet and shower blocks, but not much else apart from the fresh sea air and glorious coastal views.
These days, the site, which has won more tourism awards than Ken can count, boasts the Ocean Club, a 2.5 million health club with two swimming pools, a sauna and steam room as well as a beauty treatment centre and caf bar.
The site itself has expanded hugely to cope with ever-increasing demand. There are currently 400 pitches catering for motor homes, site and touring caravans, as well as state-of-the-art holiday homes.
And demand from holidaymakers from across the UK and abroad for a break at the Seafield is growing so much that Mr Britton has just sought planning approval to increase the size of the park by another 200 pitches at a cost of 3 million.
"When we opened there was my father and one member of staff, a groundsman called Jimmy English, looking after the place," said Ken.
"Now we've grown so much we employ 55 people and the money our guests spend currently puts 3.5 million a year back into the local economy.
"The British have always loved caravans. We get lots of people who could afford far more expensive holidays, but they keep coming back to stay in a caravan, they love the outdoor life.
"Holidaymakers particularly enjoy coming to Seahouses because of everything that's on hand here, from the fabulous beaches, the country walks, the golf courses, you can go horse riding or simply enjoy the magnificent countryside.
"We now find that people who were brought here as children by their parents turn up a generation later for a holiday with their own kids, which is testament to just how many people have treasured memories of the Seafield."
*If you have photographs or memories of your holiday at the Seafield please send them to Ken Britton, c/o Seafield Caravan Park, Seahouses, Northumberland. NE68 7SP, or e-mail your memories and snapshots to info@seafield park.co.uk

LEETONIA- An extensive drainage project that has significantly altered the appearance of the historic Cherry Valley Beehive Coke Ovens in Leetonia is almost complete.
The park will remain closed through the winter as the grounds recover from the construction of an underground drainage system that will reroute the water runoff that had filled the mine shafts into a nearby creek to the east of the park. The $250,000 project is being completed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources with grant funding from the Office of Surface Mining.
According to Justin Hite, Leetonia's community development coordinator, the drainage system includes five manholes and several rock-lined channels that catch the water and route through underground pipes to the creek, eliminating most of the water that has collected in the coke oven shafts. The system has been pumping water out, at a pace of one million gallons a day at one point, since the middle of October, and the difference is already visible, with discoloration showing where the water has lowered more than a foot in most places.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is finishing up an extensive underground drainage system at Leetonia's historic Cherry Valley Beehive Coke Ovens that will re-route water from the mine shafts into a creek to the east of the park. The previously wooded area along Main Street is gone, opening up the park to a view from the roadway. The trees were invasive in nature and preventing access to the drainage system. (Salem News photo by Kevin Howell)
Hite said the water was nice to look at for what it was- mine water- but that ultimately it was damaging the ovens, blowing out walls and causing collapses.
"Our primary objective is preserving the ovens," he said.
Once the water is drained, the park will probably require some additional excavating to fill the canals with gravel or stone, Hite said, noting that village officials do not know how deep they really are due to sediment at the bottom.
Currently the only cost the village has had to invest is in-kind labor to remove the tree stumps from the excavation along Main Street, which has seen the removal of all but one tree from the previously dense wooded area.
Hite said the trees, invasive in nature, had to be removed because they prevented access for the system. The area will be graded into a slight hill and resod, with the possibility of a new tree line in the future, he said.
Removing the trees does have its benefits, though, Hite said, noting that it makes the grounds easier to manage as far as erosion is concerned.
"Plus it opens [the park] up to a view from [Main Street], makes it more accessible," he said.
The project is scheduled to be complete in the next couple weeks.

Phi Theta Kappa Promotes Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Fellowship.October 1, 2013 // 2 Comments
Mirna G. Gutierrez CCBC Essex
Phi Theta Kappa is an organization that allows individuals to succeed and helps them reach their goals," said a very proud and enthusiastic Sagar Chapagain, a Biological Science and Pre-Medicine major at CCBC Essex.
Proudly wearing his chapters' t-shirt letting his surroundings know how involved he is in this organization he agreed to share some information with Mirna G. Gutierrez a Communications Major at CCBC Essex.
Though Mr. Chapagain had multiple friends that were part of the organization he had his own reasons for joining, "Some of my friends were officers while others were members so I got a chance to experience the advantage of becoming a member… there are millions of dollars of scholarships available as a transfer student and all members have access to these. All we have to do is apply!"
Intrigued by the chance to have access to many scholarships and being able to transfer and attend a university free of charge is one of the reasons Chapagain wanted to join PTK.
"Phi Theta Kappa provides an opportunity to grow not only as a student but also as a leader and to create a difference in society." Sure of what he wants in his future, Chapagain appears to be a very intelligent and determined young man who is willing to take advantage of being part of this organization as it provides many resources to guarantee his success in life.
Sagar Chapagain first became aware of the "Chi Theta chapter," Phi Theta Kappa's International Honors Society his second semester at CCBC Essex; first becoming a member and now being the Vice-President.
Knowing pretty well the type of organization he takes part in he tells the story of how the organization first came to be. "Phi Theta Kappa traces its beginnings to a Society that originated with six charter members under the name of Kappa Phi Omicron at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, in 1910. The Society continued to grow and in the spring of 1918 was one of many honorary groups in Missouri. At a meeting of the presidents of the Missouri junior colleges for women in 1918, it was decided to organize a new honorary society, chapters of which would have a common character, stand and similarity of organization. The name Phi Theta Kappa was chosen, and the Society was incorporated in Missouri as a national organization."
How did it become international?
In 1924 through constitutional amendment, the field of activity was enlarged to cover all junior colleges. In 1926, Phi Theta Kappa expanded beyond the borders of Missouri and into coeducational institutions. The American Association of Junior Colleges (now known as the American Association of Community Colleges or AACC) recognized Phi Theta Kappa as the official honor society for two-year colleges in 1929.
Does the organization celebrate the day that they were founded?
The annual meeting is held November 18 and 19 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the AACC officially recognizes Phi Theta Kappa as the national honor society for junior colleges and November 19 is recognized annually as Phi Theta Kappa Founders Day.
Who formed part of the board of directors?
Dr. Dale Parnell, President of the American Association of Community Colleges, was elected to the Phi Theta Kappa Board of Directors in 1988.
What is the organization recognized for? What is its mission?
The National Awards Program is reorganized to reflect the Society's Hallmarks of Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Fellowship. According to a CCBC Media Release, Its mission is to encourage the academic achievement of two-year college students and provide opportunities for individual growth and development through participating in honors, leadership, service and fellowship programming.
What are some of the benefits of becoming a member?
You can receive The Phi Theta Kappa Golden Key Membership Pin, A Phi Theta Kappa Membership Certificate and ID Card, Recognition during college induction ceremony, The official Seal of Phi Theta Kappa placed on your college diploma, Notation of membership on your college transcript, Recognition by wearing Phi Theta Kappa Commencement Regalia during college graduation also a Press Release announcing your academic achievement.
What are some scholarship opportunities?
Phi Theta Kappa members have access to more than $37 million in scholarships, a benefit unmatched by other honor societies. Transfer Scholarships, more than $37 million in transfer scholarships available to Phi Theta Kappa members are available at over 700 four-year colleges and universities.
What Chapter is at CCBC Essex?
The Phi Theta kappa Chapter in CCBC Essex is called "Chi Theta". All community colleges have their own chapters, so each CCBC campus also has their own chapters.
How can someone join?
In order to become a member, one must be a student at CCBC and must have completed a minimum of 12 credits… also have a minimum GPA of 3.5; and generally students who fulfill the requirements are invited to join this honor society through their CCBC email address. All accepted students receive a conformation email and are asked to join the induction ceremony where they will be formally inducted as Phi Theta Kappa Members.
Sagar Chapagain, one of the many students at community college wants, "to grow not only as a student but also as a leader," he wants to make a difference in society.
Being an active member and officer of this organization is helping him improve himself as well as encouraging others to better themselves and getting involved in organizations that can only better their futures.
"Recently, we organized a 'Commit to Complete' campaign at the welcome back fair at CCBC and many students signed the pledge to complete their education at CCBC … Many others got the information about becoming a member and the opportunities phi theta kappa provides to grow and flourish as a student and a community leader."Chapagain does not want anyone to be left behind, "We officers are here to help with by any means possible."

Madonna Art – The New Erotica
Madonna art is something I always approach with an air of excitement. Iconic artwork always gives me a buzz but I would get very bored as an artist if I did not try to bring something new to the canvas each time I approached a familiar subject.
Having painted Madonna many times before, it becomes inevitable that the same source material needs to be used. I love the shot of Madonna which this painting is influenced by but I wanted to bring it right up to date in terms of where my technique and painting process is currently at.
The earlier painting of this pose was one which I was particularly fond of. It had a really clean look to it and was one of the last "pop art" style canvases which I painted.
This new painting of Madonna from the Erotica period is in oil and, similar to the recent Kate Bush painting, I am refining it every time I return to the painting. Also, I love the way that the orange background is working, although there is every chance that this will be completely removed by the time that the painting is completed. Other artists and some visitors to the studio have mentioned that this Madonna artwork has something of Tamara De Lempika about it. As admirer of De Lempika's work that is very flattering to hear.
The painting measures approximately 19 x 23 inches (excluding frame)and is oil on board.

THE first two turbines have been delivered for a controversial wind farm site at North Charlton.
Middlemoor Wind Farm - which was the subject of a public enquiry in 2008 - is now under construction, five years after it got the Government go-ahead.
Developer RWE npower renewables says the 18-turbine wind farm, which should be fully operational by the end of the year, will generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of almost 30,000 homes.
The first two turbines have now been delivered to the site, which overlooks the Cheviot Hills just off the A1, with the remaining 16 turbines expected to arrive between now and mid May.
The components for the first two turbines - towers, hubs and blades - made their way from the Port of Blyth along the A1 and onto site, using the new access road off the A1, under police escort.
Martin Kelly, project manager for the Middlemoor wind farm, said: "This is an exciting stage for us and marks the culmination of all the hard work carried out so far."
The new access road was deemed fit for purpose following a trial run.
Mr Kelly explained: "We carried out a successful test run which proved that the route is suitable for the large vehicles, including the new access junction direct off the A1, and the first two turbines were delivered to site with no problems."
The Middlemoor wind farm is scheduled to become fully operational by autumn this year.
By then, an £81,000 per annum community investment fund should be open to applications from groups and projects in the area.
RWE npower renewables will shortly be launching a consultation to gather ideas from local people as to how the community benefit fund should be spent.
Once operational, Middlemoor Wind Farm will have a total generating capacity of 54 megawatts, which is enough green electricity to meet the average annual demands of up to 27,600 homes.
The developers say that every unit of electricity from Middlemoor Wind Farm will replace electricity generated from conventional power stations, therefore reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the UK's dependence on imported fossil fuels.
The original plans for the 18-turbine development at Middlemoor were subject to huge objections from residents.

Helper gets a recipe redo
Hamburger Helper needs some help.
The classic General Mills product, long the nation's dominant dry dinner mix, has lost a big chunk of market share recently to a new offering from rival Kraft Foods. Pre-prepared dinner concoctions -- from the grocery freezer to the deli case -- are proliferating, giving consumers more options.
Starting this month, new products will combine the customary dry mix and pasta with a sauce pouch. Packaging will be revamped. And General Mills will retool its Hamburger Helper marketing plan, broadening its message to younger consumers.
Hamburger Helper hit supermarkets in 1971.
China plans to further restrict car purchases
China plans to increase the number of cities that restrict vehicle purchases in a bid to fight pollution and traffic congestion.
With more than 13 million cars sold in China in 2012, motor vehicles and their emissions have emerged as the chief culprit for the air pollution in large cities.
Four cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, already curb the purchase of vehicles for private use, through lotteries and auctions of a limited number of license plates.
Senior citizens carry more debt
Senior citizens have a reputation for being frugal and saving for rainy days, yet in recent years, more Americans who are either in retirement or approaching retirement age are in debt.
A recent study found American families headed by individuals 75 or older had increased their use of debt and the average amount of debt they had in 2010. For families with heads of household 75 or older, the average debt level increased from $13,665 in 2007 to $27,409 in 2010.
