Stage Fright - Page 3

Stage 1, 31.5 miles, began with relatively easy running on a downhill hard-packed road. Gayter took off with the front pack, which included Caroline Richards, 51, of England, also recognized as a potential winner of the women's race. Richards had been a top finisher in self-supported stage races in places such as the Kalahari and Gobi deserts.
There was little question that the dominant male competitor would be Salvador Calvo Redondo, 50, of Spain, whose resume includes five wins in the past four years at 250K stage races. But two Italians were primed to stay on Redondo's heels: Stefano Gregoretti and Davide Ugolini, both 38.
Under a slightly overcast sky, I settled into a comfortable pace, opened my eyes and ears to nature, and contemplated the vastness of the brown landscape dotted by grayish-green desert brush. It extended uninterrupted until hitting reddish escarpments far off in the distance.
The sun-parched plateau transitioned to a steady uphill, and the course led us through weeds and calf-high cacti in an off-trail stretch. Suddenly, I came upon Gayter sitting on a rock a few miles from the finish. She was picking cactus needles out of her shoe and said stoically, "This pack's killing my shoulders."
I reached the finish line in 6 hours 46 minutes. Tess Geddes wrapped me in a big hug and delivered the surprising news that I was the second woman, finishing five minutes behind Richards.
Near sunset, virtually every runner and volunteer stopped what they were doing and gathered at the finish line to applaud a pair of runners at the back of the pack, KiSuk Song and Kyung Tae Song of South Korea. Kyung Tae, 51, lost his sight 30 years ago in a grenade accident while serving in the military. The blind man was covering the entire course while holding onto his guide, KiSuk.
Stories from the trail passed among runners as we sat around a campfire. Using my spork to eat from a small foil bag of pasta, I felt unusually satiated from the food and profoundly satisfied from the run.
Stage 2, just under 29 miles, turned out to be a day of mishaps. I took off my shoes to fuss with blisters, and I tripped and fell into a juniper tree that punctured my water bottle. Everyone wilted in furnace-like heat—until the sky changed abruptly, and thunder and lightning roared in. Runners in the second half of the pack got soaked in a downpour. The campground turned into a bowl of red-dirt soup.
Heading into Stage 3, women held eight of the top 15 spots. I was the third female and ninth overall. While the top three men—Redondo, Gregoretti and Ugolini—had a commanding lead, the next four guys were pushing each other hard to secure a top-10 spot. It was anyone's guess how the arduous 47-mile Stage 3, would play out.
The Grand to Grand throws in the added challenge of placing this long stage mid-week. Most self-supported, weeklong races follow a format of four days of around 25 miles each, a long stage of around 50 miles on Day 5, followed by a rest day and then a short sprint for the final stage. The Grand to Grand format meant we'd run the long stage with a heavier pack (since we hadn't eaten through as much food at that point), and with the knowledge it would be followed by back-to-back stages of marathon distances. What's more, the 47 miles held all kinds of terrain and obstacles while ascending 6400 feet and descending 5300 feet.
A mile into Stage 3, I heard a runner call out, "Look, a condor!" But I didn't look because I was fully focused on gripping red rock and hoisting myself up a boulder on a vermilion cliff. Shortly thereafter, I had to concentrate on skating down slopes of slick rock that broke up the sandy hills like sheets of ice on a powdery ski run.
Richards, the female runner who dominated the first two days and leapfrogged with Gayter during the early hours of Stage 3, began to fade in the afternoon. I passed her at sunset as we ran along a highway toward the Coral Pink Sand Dunes park entrance.
I made it over those sand dunes and past that snake that looked like a dropped headlamp. The sandy road led deeper into the night, to the penultimate checkpoint around Mile 40. Gayter was sitting at that checkpoint and glanced up from her cup of soup with haunted-looking eyes. She put down her soup, took off, and I followed about 200 meters behind.
A cluster of orange ribbons indicated a turn into an off-trail section choked with brush and no discernable path. Gayter's light bounced down the road straight ahead—she missed the turn. For a split second I considered letting her continue off course, but then I hollered, "Sharon!" Her headlight turned around and came back.
When she passed me, she stated the obvious, "Had to backtrack a bit," and busted through the brush while swinging her trekking poles like scythes.
I hoped to stick with her for guidance and extra light. No such luck—while she fearlessly plowed ahead, I stepped gingerly over spiky yucca and whimpered when branches tugged at my hair. Several times, when I couldn't spot any marker, I stopped cold to scan the woods and tried to suppress my fear.
Late in the night, alone and now hallucinating that the sticks on the ground were slithering, I did what any good paranoid person would do: I began talking out loud. But it didn't sound like my voice. I seemed to channel a Minnesota granny plucked from a cruise ship.
"Oh, for Pete's sake, wouldya look at that?" I talked to the trees and scolded the orange flags for hiding. "You betcha it's dark, my heavens!"
Picking through piñon and talking myself down from an anxiety cliff, I made it through the woods and reached the campground at two minutes past midnight. I went straight to the medical tent to lie down on a cot, buried my face in a paper towel and had a big cry—the shoulder-shaking, sobbing kind. After a day that demanded so much strength and resolve, I could finally uncork my emotions.
Stage 3 put Gayter in the lead among women and fourth overall. I found myself 12 minutes behind her, second in the women's field and fifth overall.

Chronicles of a Dustball - Page 4
Olson prides himself on his sporting versatility, from ultrarunning to skiing to paddling. Photo by Justin Bastien.
Dusty the Sidekick
Yet the way Olson would come to be defined—at least in running circles outside Duluth, where he is considered a local legend all his own—was as a prominent but not leading figure in Jurek's development, life and career. The super-domestique. That certainly wasn't how it started, though.
"I looked up to [Olson] a lot as far as someone who worked really hard in training," Jurek says. "Dusty resonated with me when it came to the work ethic early on in my career—put in the miles, work your butt off. That's who he was."
Of course, their athletic fortunes reversed somewhat, and while Olson is not bitter— despite what some tellings of the story suggest—he admits his eventual role wasn't his dream as an athlete.
"The whole thing kind of snuck up on me," Olson says. "When Scott asked me to pace at Angeles Crest in 1998, I was like, 'Sweet, I'll do it.' The first couple years I was just helping a friend out. But as Scott started having more and more good results, I had more and more pacing responsibilities, and I was able to focus less on my own opportunities to train and race."
Not that he was required to help. "We were buddies, and I asked him to crew for me because we liked each other's company," Jurek says. "We both loved it. But people sometimes see his role as a supporting role. It's unfortunate now, but for some reason a lot of people see it in a different way."
Jurek's life wasn't all glitz and glam, either. Most elite ultrarunners don't rake in huge paychecks today, and that was even more the case in the early 2000s. "I was working extremely hard the whole time," Jurek says. "Dusty was too. I wanted him to be in on that because he kept it fun. It's too bad people get this impression that there's sour grapes, that I got all the fame and glory and Dusty got nothing."
Olson, for his part, says he was happy to help a friend.

"I was happy to help Scott...[even though] it was hard to juggle it with my job as a self-employed carpenter and my own life," he continues. "But being a Midwesterner, you just kind of put your head down and work hard for someone, and hope it comes around. It is what it is."
Olson also accepts that this scenario may have been an inevitable result of Jurek's willingness—and Olson's reluctance—to focus on just one athletic pursuit. "I might not have had the results he has, but I'm well-rounded," he says. "I can rip through moguls on telemark skis, and paddle through steep creeks."
Kohler, who lives in St. Paul but has stayed in touch with Olson since high school, says it fits Olson's friends-first mentality.
"Even with all the time [he travels], whenever he's passing through the Twin Cities, he's always good at staying in touch and coming around," Kohler says. "He's always good about trying to get together."
These days, Olson is a more autonomous fixture on the running and skiing scene than during Jurek's peak of success. For several years he split his time between Duluth in the summer and Winter Park, Colorado, in the winter, before a job change found him coaching a high-school ski team in Minnesota.
He has also fought a recurring bout of Lyme disease that has prevented him from training much in the past year, though in at least one encounter with Decker, Olson appeared not to have lost his sense of humor.
"I'm hardly running right now," he said, lifting his shirt to demonstrate the weight he had lost from Lyme. "But look how fit I am! I haven't been this fit in years."
It's hardly the first speed bump in the road for Olson, whose story often reverts to his putting his head down and grinding it out. Failing that, his ability to handle adversity with humor is second to none.
"I'm half run bum, half ski bum," he says of his own uncertain path. "I'd say I've got it pretty figured out."

As we celebrate The Well-Tweeted Clavier, don't miss pianist András Schiff live on stage as he plays the complete The Well-Tempered Clavier over two concerts, Oct 27 and Nov 1.
Why are the keys different colors?
"To me, Bach's music is not black and white; it's full of colours. In my imagination, each tonality corresponds to a colour. The Well-Tempered Clavier, with its 24 preludes and fugues in all the major and minor keys, provides an ideal opportunity for this fanciful fantasy.
Let's imagine that in the beginning there was innocence, and therefore C major (all white keys) is snow-white. The last piece of both books is in B minor, which is the key to death. Compare the fugue of Book 1 to the Kyrie of the B-minor mass. This has to be pitch-black. Between these two poles, we have all the other colours: first the yellows, oranges and ochre (between C minor and D minor), all the shades of blue (E-flat major to E minor), the greens (F major to G minor), pinks and reds (A-flat major to A minor), browns (B-flat major), grey (B major) and finally black."

Fruit of the Vine Ultreya
A day of reflection was recently held, entitled "From Embers to Flames." Deacon Mike Quinn, the spiritual director for the diocese's Cursillo Movement presided. It was an afternoon of prayer, music and reflection on the Cursillo Movement – where it evolved from, where it has been and the future of the movement. Then there was a more personal reflection as everyone was asked to think about their own personal experiences from their own Cursillo weekends, and if they wished to, asked to share some of those memories from those weekends. After the reflection ended, everyone attended the 4:30 p.m. Mass at St. Joseph's Church. After Mass, everyone gathered in the cafeteria for a social potluck dinner.

Carne Asada Tacos with Green Salsa
Recipe courtesy of Brian Boitano
- What Would Brian Boitano Make?
- Carne Asada:
- 2 cups vegetable stock or broth
- 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 2 chipotle peppers
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 4 pounds beef round roast
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
- Green Salsa:
- 2 poblano peppers
- 4 tomatillos, chopped
- 2 avocados, halved, pitted and flesh diced
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 bunch cilantro, leaves chopped
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- Pinch salt and freshly cracked black pepper, plus more for seasoning
- Tacos:
- 3 cups canola oil
- 24 corn tortillas
- 24 small flour tortillas
- 1 small head green cabbage, shredded
- 2 cups crumbled queso fresco
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe. Carne Asada:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Add the vegetable stock, tomatoes, chipotle peppers, onions and garlic to a Dutch oven and stir to combine.
In small bowl, combine the cumin, chili powder, salt and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the beef so that it is evenly coated. Put the seasoned beef into the Dutch oven and cover. Braise in the oven until the meat is fork tender, about 3 hours. Remove the beef from the pot and put it into a baking dish. Shred with 2 forks and drizzle with some of the braising liquid to keep the meat moist. Cover with some aluminum foil until ready to serve.
Green Salsa:
Preheat a broiler.
Put the poblano peppers on a sheet pan under the broiler for 8 minutes, turning every 2 minutes until the skins are charred. Remove the pan from the broiler, put the peppers into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let them sit to allow the skin to separate from the flesh, about 10 minutes. Core, seed and peel the charred skin from the peppers.
Add the peppers along with the remaining salsa ingredients, except 3/4 of the diced avocado, to a blender. Puree the mixture until smooth. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl, and add the remaining diced avocado. Gently toss the salsa with a rubber spatula to coat the avocado. Taste and adjust the seasonings with more salt and pepper, if needed. Set aside
Bring the canola oil to 350 degrees F in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the corn tortillas in batches until crispy but still slightly pliable, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer them to a sheet tray lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Put the flour tortillas in a damp towel and microwave for 45 seconds on high to soften them. Arrange a fried corn tortilla onto each flour tortilla. Spoon some of the beef onto the fried tortilla, top each taco with some shredded cabbage, 2 tablespoons green salsa and 1 tablespoon queso fresco. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.

Group: Drop in casino revenue shows saturation
Tribe blames economic downturn
APPLETON, Wis. - Revenue at Wisconsin's 20 Indian casinos has dropped 5 percent from 2007 to 2011, fueling the argument that the state has reached the saturation point with gaming facilities.
The Post-Crescent of Appleton reported a coalition opposed to the expansion of off-reservation gambling uses the numbers to suggest there are already enough casinos in the state. Brian Nemoir of Enough Already WI argues that anyone who wants to gamble already has enough options.
But the Menominee Indian Tribe, which is trying to open a new casino in Kenosha, blames the downturn on the economy. It says there are still plenty of people who want to gamble.
Tribe spokeswoman Lisa Waukau said the economy will bounce back, which is why the tribe is continuing its efforts for the Kenosha site.

Apple's Crash: A Wall Street Tragedy
Even with proper perspective applied, it feels tragic. No matter what AAPL ends up doing today or from here, the damage has already been done.
My trajectory on the stock has been straightforward: In early 2012, I warned Apple would never be the same without Steve Jobs. And that Tim Cook simply could not innovate. While I had bearish moments (consider this May 16, 2012, article ), I was largely OK with the near-term, but cautious looking out 12 to 36 months. AAPL bulls ripped me for constructively questioning the company's future.
As the end of the year approached, AAPL weakened. The freefall kicked into high gear in mid-September 2012. Suddenly, every analyst and financial media member started hawking the post-Steve Jobs story I was selling months prior.
Things spun out of control. Sentiment shifted on a dime. AAPL had no chance. Shockingly, it became a horrible long-term investment. A majority of investors had no business owning AAPL, especially intraday Wednesday. And most certainly now.
Most people are not nimble enough to do the only thing you can do with AAPL: trade it like a sardine . You're 100% better off in names such as News Corp. (NWSA) , Disney (DIS) , Time Warner (TWX) and Madison Square Garden (MSG) .
It's come to this. Apple reports one of the best quarters in the history of earnings reports. It sold one iOS device every 10 seconds during the last three months of 2012. Reached $54.5 billion in revenue. Delivered 48 million iPhones. Moved 23 million iPads. iPad mini, branded a failure by many before it was even released, sold out. Yet Wall Street treats Apple like a company fighting for its life.
Valuation means nothing in this stock market. In some respects, it shouldn't. There's no reason for investors to attach a lofty multiple to disasters such as Microsoft (MSFT) , Dell (DELL) or Research in Motion (RIMM) until they prove they're worthy again. And there's no reason to take Amazon.com (AMZN) or LinkedIn (LNKD) down a notch because their long-term narratives absolutely remain intact.
It's patently absurd that Wall Street no longer gives AAPL the benefit of the doubt, in and of itself or relative to AMZN or LNKD. That's been my line for weeks.
Even if they look like they're getting better, things are only going to get worse.
I told you not to own AAPL before earnings because of the irrational market . And I am telling you not to own it after earnings. Your sanity is more important than showing loyalty to AAPL. If you still have profits, take them. If you're down, get out. Waiting for a rebound -- no matter how right you think you are -- ends up a loser's game. For every one you salvage, another handful will break you.

Category: 1099's
1099-R: How do I Enter Distributions from Pensions, Annuities, or Other Retirement Plans?
How do I report my 1099-R?
Form 1099-R is generally used to report income that you received from a retirement account. This income could have been from a pension, an annuity, a retirement or profit-sharing plan, an IRA, or an insurance contract.
Box 1 - This box shows the total amount of distribution you received this year. You will need to enter this entire amount from your original form.
Box 2a- Even if there is a taxable amount entered in Box 2 of your 1099-R, you may qualify to use the Simplified Method to reduce the amount that is taxed. If you are not sure if you qualify to use the Simplified Method to determine your taxable amount, Click here.
If the taxable amount is NOT determined you will check Box 2b; however that does not mean that you will not be taxed on the distribution. In this circumstance it is the taxpayer's responsibility to determine the amount to be taxed. If your annuity starting date was before July 1, 1986 you will use the General Rule to figure the taxable part of the distribution if it was not rolled over within 60 days. If your annuity starting date was after July 1, 1986 you may be required to use the Simplified Method Worksheet. This worksheet is available on our 1099-R screen within our program. Please refer to the Simplified Method Worksheet link below for further instructions.
Box 4- Shows federal income tax withheld from the distribution.
Box 7- The codes in this box identify the distributions and whether or not they may be subject to an additional 10% tax. Click Here to determine what your code in Box 7 means.
Box 12-17 If state or local income tax was withheld from the distribution boxes 14-17 may show all or part of the distribution as taxable to the state. If there are withholdings listed in Box 12, Box 14 must have a value. Generally, Box 14 will be the same amount as Box 1 or Box 2 Distributions.
How to report my Rollover?
If you "roll over" an IRA you are moving it from one company to another. You have 60 days from the time you receive the funds from one company to invest it with the other company before it becomes taxable to you. To make an entry for an IRA Rollover in our program go to Federal section > Enter Myself > IRA/Pension and Social Security Benefits >Add or Edit an IRA- 1099-R > then make your entries and mark the check box that states "Check here if all/part of the distribution was rolled over, and enter the rollover amount."
How do I enter this form in my account?
From the Federal Section >> Income Menu >> Enter Myself >> IRA/Pension & Social Security Benefits >> Add or Edit a 1099-R.
If you have questions about the Distribution Code that is entered in Box 7 of your 1099-R, Click here.

Great information David. I actually have an old, old single board computer with a 20mA current loop. It's a 1979 vintage Super Elf based in the CDP1802. I have no idea if the current loop portion of it works though.
These early electro-mechanical or mostly mechanical devices like the ASR-33 are really fascinating. Funny that I see them as incredibly complex and almost beyond my comprehension, where a nice little MCU powered device, like a Beagleboard, seems relatively easy to understand.

Great, But Not For Those With Sensitive Teeth
Posted by HawaiianViking on Jan 10, 2013
Now Foods, Solutions, Xyli•White Toothpaste Gel is mostly great. It really does clean and whiten teeth without fluoride and without drying the mouth. It removes plaque, too, and keeps it from re-forming, which I believe is due to the Xylitol in this product's formula. Soon after I started using this product, I did notice that my teeth were becoming much more sensitive, and after using this product for several months hot and cold beverages were downright painful. Now, I alternate Now Foods, Solutions, Xyli•White Toothpaste Gel with Auromere, Herbal Toothpaste, Fresh Mint, and that's been a great combination for me.
Flouride free toothpaste gel!!
Posted by LivingNatural on Oct 17, 2012
Since I heard that flouride have been used in rat poisons, I stopped to use flouride toothpaste. I found the very best product in whole iHerb and have been using it for a year now. The toothpaste is natural and doesn't taste bad. My teeth are healthy and clean. Thank you again Now foods!!

Teresa A. Sam
RIPLEY – Teresa A. (Bauer) Sam, age 82, of Ripley, NY, formerly of Dunkirk, NY, died Friday, March 29, 2013 at Twinbrook Medical Center of Erie, PA.
She was born on August 23, 1930 in Buffalo, NY, the daughter of the late Joseph and Amelia (Ruhlman) Bauer.
A Dunkirk resident for many years, Teresa and her late husband had been the proprietors of the former Sam's Place on Roberts Road. She had been em-ployed by A. Sam and Son of Dunkirk in the offices and retired in 2006.
Mrs. Sam was a member of St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church of Dunkirk and had been very active in Church activities and the Church's Altar Guild. She had resided in Ripley since 2006, moving there to be closer to her daughter. While in Ripley she greatly enjoyed being a part of the Ripley Central School Grandparent program to the point that she actively exercised with the students. She enjoyed puzzle books, reading, and baking. She was an avid collector of spoons from various states and countries. But most of all her family was the love of her life.
She is survived by her three daughters, Judith (Martin) Rowe of Ripley, NY, Suzette (Brian) Smith of Gerry, NY, and Samantha (Troy) Way of Wyandotte, MI; her two sons, Paul (Christine) Zimmer and Mark (Josi) Zimmer; her stepson, Rev. Albert (Hannah) Sam of Lock-port, NY; her two step daughters, Nancy (Johnathan) Carroll and Sadie (Al) Kwiej, both of Dunkirk, NY, as well as her sister-in-law, Rev. Helen Sam and her brother-in-law, Esau Sam both of Dunkirk. 27 grandchildren, 47 great-grandchildren and several great-great grandchildren also survive.

In search of more energy truths
To the editor:
I would like to thank the Sibley County GOP Board members for their efforts to seek out the truth about the real cost of producing energy in our country. I am looking forward to their fact finding results about the oil and coal industries as well.
I have wondered frequently how much oil was spilled in the Gulf of Mexico and how much wildlife died as a result. Also, I have heard almost nothing about how many oil pipeline leaks there are in the US each year, the causes of the leaks, how much oil is spilled, how much wild life is killed and how many streams and lakes are polluted. I have heard that it is over 100 major leaks and tens of thousands of gallons of oil, but have rarely seen and news reports on them. Smells like a cover up to me.
I would also like to know how many tax dollars are spent subsidizing the oil and coal industries. However much it is, it should stop since the oil industries report billions of dollars in profits each year. I say it's time they pay their own way and stop picking the taxpayers' pockets. I am looking forward to finding the truth about these other energy industries as well. Thanks again.

GoingOutGuide Bars+%26+Clubs

On the weekends, Adams Morgan sometimes feels like an alternate universe, where Miller Lite is king and jumbo slice, his greasy mistress. For the last week and a half, restaurant/bar Black Squirrel has been charting a slightly new course on the 18th Street strip, serving up duck roll appetizers, swordfish entrees and tasty beers.
"I was a little bit worried about the bar atmosphere that takes over on the weekend," says chef and co-owner Gene Sohn, who previously was the chef at Marcel's. "There used to be a lot of good retaurants here," he said. "They're coming back."
The restaurant, which takes its name from the 18 non-native black squirrels that the National Zoo released during Teddy Roosevelt's time, sits in the old T. S. Muttly's space. Sohn and his two partners put just over $100,000 worth of renovations into the space to transform it from a dingy Irish pub to a much brighter dining-and-drinking spot. High tables line the perimeter of the long, skinny space and kitschy film posters -- think "Superfly" and "The Hustler" -- don the red walls. The cutest (but perhaps chilliest) seat in the house is the one by the window, where low chairs and benches surround a table that looks like a section of a tree trunk.
Sohn describes the cuisine as "good American comfort food." Appetizers -- including mussels in a cream sauce and shrimp dusted in a salty blackened Cajun spice -- were the highlight of my weekend visit. Entree options, which Sohn says will all be priced under $20, include baby back ribs in a port barbeque sauce and a grilled Angus ribeye. Want to give the new place a shot? Go on a Tuesday, when, for the foreseeable future, food will be half-price.
Black Squirrel's extensive, multi-page beer list is particularly exciting. Try the bar's namesake beer -- a dark brew that's not too heavy and not too sweet. Sohn says the short wine list is growing.
It'll be interesting to see how the establishment's attention to dining will play out in the coming months. When you stroll in at 11 p.m. on a Saturday, will you see people finishing up meals and sipping drinks at the tables? Or rocking out to '80s music on the Internet jukebox and downing pints at the bar? Perhaps some combination of the two. What do you think?

TeaFanatic wrote:Welcome to the community Yellville...I hate to start off my introduction by disagreeing with one of your statements. Although, national newspapers state that mate has caffeine, it can be argued that mate instead has a different chemical compound known as mateine. Mateine is different in that it does not cause jitters or have any of the negative aspects of caffeine.
To this day, scientists have argued as to whether mate has mateine or caffeine, and since there has been to little research on the subject, it is hard to tell who is right.
The element does has the stimulating effect such as caffeine, so it should still be avoided by those who have high blood pressure.

A Plattsburgh-based state trooper has pleaded not guilty to forcibly raping two women while he was off duty.
Trevor J. Donah, 32, of Plattsburgh, was arrested at 4 p.m. Tuesday by state police investigators and charged with two counts of rape in the first degree, police said in a news release. First degree means the rape was done by forcible compulsion. Police said Donah was off duty at the time of his arrest.
"His arrest is the result of an investigation by state police into allegations from two female victims known to him," the release states. No other details about the alleged crimes were provided.
Although the alleged rapes occurred in Clinton County, Clinton County Court Judge Kevin Ryan has appointed Franklin County District Attorney Derek Champagne as special prosecutor in this case.
Champagne told the Enterprise this morning that the investigation began in September 2012, but he wouldn't say what triggered the probe. He said one of the rapes allegedly occurred in 2012 and the other in 2010. Neither took place while Donah was on duty, and the incidents were "not employment related," Champagne said.
The DA wouldn't provide the ages of the alleged victims, only saying they were adults at the time of the alleged rapes. Champagne also wouldn't provide any more specifics on how Donah knew the women.
Donah was arraigned in Plattsburgh city court, pleaded not guilty and was remanded to the Clinton County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail or $100,000 bond. He was still in jail this morning. Donah is due back in court at 10 a.m. on Feb. 11.
Police said temporary orders of protection for the alleged victims were issued during Donah's arraignment.
Donah was represented at the arraignment by Lake Placid attorney Brian Barrett. In a text message to the Enterprise, Barrett said, "It is my hope that this matter will be decided in a court of law, not in the court of public opinion."
Donah attended Saranac High School and graduated from Clinton Community College in 2001 with a degree in criminal justice, according to his Facebook page. He is a 2008 graduate of the state police academy. His wages last year were $90,300, according to the website SeeThroughNY.net.
Police said Donah was suspended without pay pending further investigation.
Champagne said the case will be presented to a grand jury.
"If anyone believes they have any information relative to the ongoing investigation, please contact state police in Ray Brook at (518) 897-2000," Champagne said.
Donah's name was in the news in 2009, when he shot and killed a black bear that he said tried to take his food while he was camping with his girlfriend near a lean-to at Marcy Dam in the High Peaks Wilderness. The Enterprise used it as an example of a rash of nuisance bears being killed in the Adirondacks that summer.

Contact email for this symposium: aisb50qdd
Important Dates:
January 3, 2014: Deadline for submission of full papers
February 3, 2014: Notification to authors
February 24, 2014: Deadline for final camera-ready copy of full papers and copyright forms
April 3, 2014: AISB symposium at Goldsmiths
Scope of the Symposium:
The ability to engage in a dialogue has been trumpeted as a good indicator of general intelligent behaviour since Turing (1950). Philosophers such as Hamblin (1970), Brandom (1994) and Davidson (2001) can be said to have proposed various types of linguistic rationalism, the notion that linguistic abilities are a pre- or co-requisite for rationality: in Brandom's terms, the hallmark of rationality is the ability to take part in the game of 'giving and asking for reasons'. The capacity to engage in a dialogue could very well be AI-complete, i.e., employ all the skills abilities that constitute human-level intelligence.
The year 2014 marks the 20th year since the publication of Brandom's Making it Explicit. It is fair to say that this work has so far had little direct influence on computational or formal approaches to language, though some partial formalisations have been offered by Lance and Kremer, Kibble and Piwek. This symposium will be loosely organised around various themes arising from Brandom's work, though participants will not necessarily be expected to directly engage with his original texts.
Topics of Interest:
Suitable subjects will include, but are not limited to:
- Inference in dialogue
- Commitments, norms, discourse obligations and dialogue games
- Intentionality: Can discourse and dialogue be modelled without reference to mentalistic notions of intention and belief?
- Comparison of formalisms for discourse analysis: e.g. RST, SDRT
- Argumentation: analysis and representation of argument structure
- Coherence in discourse
- Questions and answers
Contributions will be welcome from all disciplines which include discourse and dialogue in their subject matter.
Submission Details:
Submission will be by means of full papers, using:
Submissions and final papers must be prepared in LaTeX or MS Word format, see:
. Final papers should be no more than 8 pages long (shorter papers are also welcome).
Accepted papers will be published in the general proceedings of the AISB Convention with an ISBN number, with the proviso that at least one author attends the symposium. Authors of accepted papers will be required to complete a copyright form in advance. The main purpose of this form is to give AISB permission to publish your contribution, and there will be no further limitation of your rights in the material.
We intend to include a selection of high-quality submissions in a journal special issue.

This bracelet consists of a double-strand of gold beads, with a golden clasp. It was made from a necklace of gold beads belonging to Elizabeth Freeman ("Mumbet") and given by her to Catharine Maria Sedgwick. The clasp and gold separators probably date from the 1840s. Mumbet is seen wearing the necklace in the miniature portrait of her by Susan Anne Livingston Ridley Sedgwick (see online display of miniature portrait).

4-1 Police blotter
March 31, 2009
Samplings of recent calls received by Clovis-area law enforcement officers, according to reports:
About 6 p.m. March 21 an officer responded to a business in the 3000 block of Prince Street for a report of a domestic dispute.
Witnesses told dispatchers a man chased a woman into the store and shoved her to the ground.
The suspect's 26-year-old girlfriend said they were arguing about her son and her boyfriend forced her into his vehicle and held her there until she ran after her daughter into the store.
Officers noted she had redness on her neck and redness and bruising on her arm.
The officer arrested the 16-year-old boy and transported him to the juvenile detention center.
• • •
About 10 p.m. March 21 officers responded to an undisclosed residence for an incomplete 911 call.
A 13-year-old boy said he had kicked one of his younger brothers while playing and when he tried to explain the reason to his father, the man grabbed him by the neck and slammed him against the wall.
The boy's mother and grandmother told the same story, adding that they tried to stop the man from choking his son, but he slammed the child into the wall hard enough to knock down a picture.
His father was arrested, charged with child abuse.
• • •
About 11 a.m. March 22 an officer responded to a residence in the 400 block of Heaslet Street for a report of criminal sexual contact.
A 22-year-old woman said she was walking to her grandmother's house and an older man pulled up twice and offered her a ride, which she accepted the second time.
The woman said when they began driving, the man started to grope himself and unzipped his pants. She said he then offered to pay her if she would show him her chest.
She said she told him to stop the car and when he wouldn't, she got out when he slowed at a stop sign.
Officers located the 70-year-old, who said the woman told him she was struggling financially, so he offered her money in exchange for seeing her chest and she got mad and demanded to be let out.
The man said he knew what he did was stupid, but he was just trying to help her out.
The officer consulted the district attorney's office and was told it was unclear if a sexual crime had been committed and to release the man and attempt to get a warrant.
• • •
About 1 a.m. an officer responded to the 700 block of Comer Drive for a crash report.
The officer found a woman sitting in a pickup truck in the front yard of a residence and damage to nearby parked vehicles.
The officer smelled alcohol on the 23-year-old, so began field sobriety tests, but stopped when the woman was so uncoordinated, he became afraid she would fall and injure herself.
After a breath test returned a reading of .30 — the state minimum is .08 — the woman was arrested.

Thinking about this incident later, joy and sadness grip me.
…to be continued…
Girl I always enjoy your writing. I haven't been back home in 10 years and seeing you use these Guyanese terms takes me back. Ever thought of compiling everything for a book?
Perspective is where things in the distance look small but things up close look big.
One of the problems with fears is they sit up so close they are behind the eyes, obscuring everything else. They are as huge as its possible to be.
But when we take them out of our heads and place them on the table, we find they are always a lot smaller than we thought they were.
GG, you aren't a coward, some things just unnerve you. That isn't cowardice. x
Guyana Girl, I learned to embrace my inner coward and talk openly about it after my ex-husband abandoned me and our sons in Brazil. As I struggled to raise my sons alone in a foreign country, I learned that only those who face their inner fears are truly courageous.
Besides, only the courageous can talk openly about their cowardice.
Rats are scary, but centipedes scare me more. There's a difference between being a coward and being scared. Fear is going to we need it to survive. It's what keeps all of us from jumping off a bridge when time gets though, because death is more scary than living.
Jihan, speaking of centipedes...I'd better try to walk above ground now...
Rosaliene, your best revenge is success. I hope you do exceptionally well!
JohnG, you don't know the half of it, haha x x
Kim, eeek I ain't putting them on the table, they're going to bite me!
Hey, Sista, welcome! You should hear the new words people have coined here...I must write them down.
Thank you for the good words about my writing. I'm trying to figure out an interesting way to put together a Guyana book.
You've started a blog too, oh good. I enjoy reading about Guyanese overseas.
it's so true. everyone is scared of something. me, i imagine every kind of horrible thing that could befall me every time i step out the door.
Nothing wrong with being a fraidy cat. It was my own career choice as a matter of fact.
DaddyP, hooray, I knew it could be made into a career...
Cadiz, you sound like me :-D
I'm a bit better now, I try to daydream it all away.
haha, i remember you and de roach at 11:00 at night an you hollering for me to come kill dem and wen you read Amittyville book an come crawling me bed at 1:00AM DEMANDING that i should "guh dung" lil bit coz you scared..both me an you smell wan waft of pufyum and run out the room hallering fuh mommy...hahaha
oh and wan night i hanging the mosquito netting, i lift the right end of it, chook it unda an see ah foot...if you see how i jump back an hit me head...oh! was me own foot!..
KFM, hahaha, yes, I remember the Amytville book, OMG. For YEARS I was scared.
I don't remember the kakaroach thing though, you're so lying.
Did you kill them?
Were you scared?
I still run and scream..........
I am so glad somebody else is afraid of those damn cockroaches. That is the ONLY reason I don't go to the tropics.
CG, also the GIANT BIG COW FLIES!
what Kim says would work for me. To a point. Unless I was s--t scared.

The Kindle Fire range has been a success story for Amazon. It all started with the original Kindle Fire, but Amazon has upgraded and overhauled its Android offerings since then. The Kindle Fire HDX comes in two sizes (with a 7-inch or an 8.9-inch screen) and it plugs you directly into Amazon's world of content.
Feedback on the devices has been generally positive. However, even the most popular products have a downside and, beyond being limited to Amazon's content offerings, there are a few Kindle Fire HDX problems you may encounter. We also deal with some common Kindle Fire HD problems. Below are solutions and workarounds to try and help you get past them.
Related: 12 helpful tips to improve your Kindle Fire HDX
Problem: Keeps shutting down
If you find that your Kindle Fire HD keeps turning off by itself, then you're not alone. There are a few different reasons that this might happen.
Potential solutions:
- You'll want to start by making sure that the battery is completely charged.
- Try resetting the the tablet by holding down the power button for 20 seconds, waiting a few seconds, and then pressing the power button again. You can also just hold down the power button continuously for 40 seconds to force a restart.
- If the problem is just that the screen goes off, then go to Settings > Display > Screen Timeout and set it to be higher or Never.
- It might be overheating. If it feels very warm to the touch, then try removing any case that might be on it, and give it time to cool down before you turn it on again.
- Try using a different charger and cable to make sure the battery is being properly charged.
- Your penultimate option is to back up all your files and perform a factory reset. Go to Settings > Device > Reset to Factory Defaults > Reset.
- If nothing has worked, then it's time to contact Amazon.

My friend Lydia and I have both become quite infatuated with experiments in our slow cookers, and the experimental part in this Slow Cooker Cannellini Bean Stew with Tomatoes, Italian Sausage, and Kale was adding the kale to the slow cooker after the other ingredients had cooked for a few hours. I was really thrilled with how the raw kale softened perfectly in the slow cooker with just a little more cooking time, and the slightly chewy kale was one of my favorite parts of this dish!
(Makes 6-8 servings; recipe created by Kalyn.)
I used my Crock-Pot 5-Quart Smart-Pot Slow Cooker for this recipe, but a slightly smaller slow cooker will work.
5 links (19.5 oz.) hot turkey Italian sausage
2 tsp. olive oil
2 cans (14.5 oz.) petite dice tomatoes with juice
2 cans (15 oz.) cannellini beans, drained
2 T minced garlic
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. ground fennel (or more, I love fennel in recipes like this)
1 1/4 cup chicken stock
4 cups chopped kale leaves
freshly-grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)
While the stew is cooking, chop the kale, cutting away and discarding any thick inner ribs. (Wash kale in a salad spinner if you're using garden kale.) After 2 1/2 hours on high (or 5 hours on low), add the kale and stir gently into the stew. Continue cooking stew about 45 minutes more on high (or 1 1/2 hours on low). Serve hot, with some Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
This freezes well and can be reheated in the microwave or in a pan on the stove.

Garry Breitkreuz Yorkton—Melville, SK
Mr. Speaker, Saskatchewan farmers are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. Farmers say the devil in this case is the minister responsible for the wheat board who seems incapable of getting the grain moving from prairie elevators to port.
A private supermarket can get thousands of products to thousands of consumers on the very day they need any one of them, but the wheat board cannot get one product to one port in the month the customer wants it let alone the right day. The government blames the railways, the railways blame the wheat board and the farmers pay. Bureaucratic inefficiency has cost farmers between $65 million and $115 million.
Some farmers in the Yorkton—Melville area have been denied this year's initial payment from the wheat board because they have not been able to pay back last year's initial payment. And why is that? They have not been able to sell their grain because all the elevators are plugged, again thanks to government intervention in the marketplace.
Farmers are telling me it is time for an exorcism to get the devil out of the grain transportation system in the prairies.

Maurizio Bevilacqua Vaughan—King—Aurora, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday residents of Vaughan—King—Aurora gathered at St. Joan of Arc High School in Maple to discuss the Speech from the Throne and the government agenda for the next few years.
Residents were united in their desire for the government to stay the course on deficit reduction. They agreed that a balanced budget is essential to our nation's economic health. They approved of the government's plan to invest in key areas of the economy such as trade and technology, but they urged caution, calling for wise investments that produce results.
The residents also applauded the government's continued resolve in the area of youth unemployment and took the opportunity to call on local businesses, community organizations and all levels of government to continue to work together to create opportunities for youth. Residents also discussed the importance of preserving and improving our health care system and expressed their support for an efficient, affordable and effective pharmacare and home care programs. They want the federal government to continue to exercise leadership to ensure Canada remains a strong and united country.

Odina Desrochers Lotbinière, QC
Mr. Speaker, Quebec is an open and tolerant nation made up from people of every ethnic background and various religious faiths, who came from every corner of the world to find in our province a sense of freedom.
Today is the first day of an intense and important time of year for thousands of our fellow citizens. On behalf of the sovereignists in Quebec, I would like to wish a happy new year to the Jewish community in Quebec and in Canada. Rosh Hashanah , the Jewish new year, marks the beginning of a Holy week culminating with Yom Kippur , the Day of Atonement. What better occasion to gather with one's family and friends to reflect on the old year and the new.
We take this opportunity to wish them peace, happiness and health in the new year. Shana Tova .

Mac Harb Ottawa Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, October 6 will mark the beginning of national family week. Each year thousands of communities across Canada celebrate this special occasion. Family Service Canada in partnership with Health Canada is working to improve the well-being of the family. Throughout the years it has worked to lay the foundation for positive family relationships and communication in family friendly communities.
We are celebrating world teachers day on October 5. It is a day to reflect on the importance of education and the contributions of teachers to education.
I see a correlation between education, teaching and the family. Let us celebrate what we have done but keep in mind that we have more to do.

Bill Gilmour Nanaimo—Alberni, BC
Mr. Speaker, Senator Andrew Thompson is one of the reasons why Canadians have such a low opinion of our upper House.
Senator Thompson's attendance record is the worst in the Senate. He shows up about once every two years and yet he continues to collect his pay cheque of around $85,000 per year.
This not only brings into question the internal workings of the Senate, but obviously senators cannot or refuse to police themselves. It also begs the question that if the prime minister has the power to appoint senators should he not have the power to dismiss senators.
As Mr. Thompson is a former Ontario Liberal leader, it is doubtful our prime minister would toss him out despite Senator Thompson's being the most rotten apple in an ancient—

Carolyn Bennett St. Paul's, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, October 5 Canadians from across the country will run for the cure. They will be running, walking and jogging in support of breast cancer research.
The CIBC, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and an expected 50,000 participants in 18 cities across this country are hoping to raise $3 million for breast cancer research, education, diagnosis and treatment. I am proud to be part of that effort.
I am reminded of those who came before us in this fight, Ms. Pat Kelly and the Breast Cancer Action Group who fought hard to overcome systemic barriers to raising money for breast cancer research but, more important, fought to gain a voice for women in determining how breast cancer research dollars would be spent.
The run is the main fundraising event of this year for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. One of the many accomplishments of the foundation has been the establishment of the first Canadian chair on breast cancer research located at Women's College Hospital in Toronto.
I am heartened by the enormous effort and contributions of the—

Mr. Speaker, from October 3 to 5, Jonquière will be, for the first time, host to the rally of the Conseil québécois du patrimoine vivant, the fifth in its history.
Jonquière, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary, is a great place to hold this momentous event. Under the theme "La grande criée d'automne au Saguenay—Lac-St-Jean", this event will showcase, through conferences, workshops and performances, the various aspects of our region's heritage, including folk tales, traditions, legends and heritage sites.
I join with my hon. colleague from Jonquière and take this opportunity to extend our welcome to everyone visiting our beautiful region and to thank the Corporation de sauvegarde du patrimoine de Jonquière and the William Price interpretation centre for their contribution to these activities.
Fire Prevention

Paul Bonwick Simcoe—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, none of us expect when we start out each day that our homes or offices might be destroyed by fire. Yet it was on a busy day much like this 81 years ago that our predecessors in the House of Commons found themselves in the heart of an inferno.
On February 4, 1916 Canada lost its original Parliament Buildings to a horrific destructive fire. That tragic event serves as a reminder that fire can strike any time, anywhere and no one is immune to it.
From October 5 to October 11 Canada will observe fire prevention week to remind Canadians of the danger of fire, to promote fire prevention and to honour the dedicated firefighters across this country who risk their lives for the safety of others.
Each year in Canada fire claims hundreds of lives and incurs hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. The latest statistics for 1995 show that 62,346 fires resulted in 389 deaths, 3,792 injuries and a direct property loss of over $1 billion—

Mr. Speaker, given that the government's policy is to create jobs, and that this can only be achieved in a strong and growing economy, I find it hard to understand the Bank of Canada's decision to increase its rate, when there is no indication of a rise in inflation.
The chartered banks immediately doubled the rate increase set by the Bank of Canada. This could generate some concern among Canadians who, in the past, have been hard hit because of high interest rates, with a large number of businesses having to fold and many families nearly went going bankrupt because of high mortgage rates.
The government's policy of attempting to control our economy by manipulating interest rates must be questioned. It continues to cause our economy to lurch from boom to bust and by this every move turning the stock markets and serves only to make increased profits for financial—

Peter Goldring Edmonton East, AB
Mr. Speaker, yesterday a Tory member questioned the government and its ministers on allegation of influence peddling and improper fundraising. These allegations are being raised ironically by a member of the Tory Party. We will long remember names like Cogger, LaSalle and Moores who faced criminal charges while members of the Tory administration.
Presently the Tory leader is raising money in Saskatchewan and perhaps stopping in on the trial of Senator Bernston who is facing charges of criminal fraud. Maybe he will visit the group of convicted Tory felons who now call the Regina correctional institute their home away from home.
It is this type of Liberal-Tory hypocrisy which breeds voter cynicism. Reform is here to bring integrity back to the House of Commons.
Francophones Outside Quebec
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Eugène Bellemare Carleton—Gloucester, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, the hon. member for Rimouski—Mitis deemed it necessary to explain, in the House, her disparaging remarks concerning French Canadians.
She denied calling us second class citizens. Yet, the official report of the Debates reads, and I quote: "As a French Canadian, I am a second class citizen". The member went on to say that francophones outside Quebec could count on her support.
I say to the Bloc Quebecois member that we French Canadians outside Quebec have no use for the kind of support Bloc members have been giving us from time to time since they arrived in this place, by using our problems to promote their separatist goal. Such negative support is harmful to our cause and we can easily do without it.

Summer/Fall 2000
Volume 5 Number 1
Good Statement, Bad Title
It is always good to receive my copy of inSpire, to read its varied and informative articles, and to catch up on happenings among alumni/ae. I see my Class of '54 gradually moving closer and closer to the front of Class Notes.
In the spring 2000 issue were a surprise and a disappointment. The surprise was to find some "beefcake" on page 36 (On and Off Campus). I wondered if I was reading a muscle magazine or if this was really a product of my theological seminary. The Reverend William Buie Jr. makes a profound statement about the body being the temple of the Holy Spirit, which is a corrective to the anti-body stance of mainline Protestantism. What a surprise to see this connecting of body and spirit! Thank you for including it.
My disappointment was the line used as a title: "I bet my pastor can beat up your pastor." The secular world sees physical prowess as a tool for violence and domination. Further-more, our society continues to value male physiques as tools for war and killing. In addition, the Presbyterian Church (USA) has made a commitment to peacemaking, and the title for the article does not honor that intention.
What a surprise it would have been and what attention it could have received if your article had been headed, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Some might even have begun to rethink their assumptions about the body and the spirit, a needed task in this violent-prone culture.
Thanks for reading this far and I hope my comments serve a positive purpose.

Mark Riedl is an assistant professor in the School of Interactive Computing and director of the Entertainment Intelligence Lab. His research focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence, virtual worlds, and storytelling. The principle research question Riedl addresses through his research is: how can intelligent computational systems reason about and autonomously create engaging experiences for users of virtual worlds and computer games.
Riedl's primary research contributions are in the area of artificial intelligence approaches to automated story generation andinteractive storytelling for entertainment, education, and training. Narrative is a cognitive tool used by humans for communication and sense-making. The goal of his narrative intelligence research is to discover new computational algorithms and models that can facilitate the development of intelligent computer systems that can reason about narrative in order to be better communicators, entertainers, and educators.
Additionally, Riedl has explored the following research topics: virtual cinematography in 3D virtual worlds; player modeling; procedural generation of computer game content; computational creativity; human creativity support; intelligent virtual characters; mixed-initiative problem solving; and discourse generation.
Prior to joining the Georgia Tech faculty in 2007, Riedl was a research scientist at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies, where he researched and developed interactive, adaptive training systems. His research is supported by the NSF, DARPA, the U.S. Army, Google and Disney. He was the recipient of a DARPA Young Faculty Award.

Bought these for my lotion warmer. Perfect size and work well!
I was in a hurry and needed to get my order placed. I added the plastic bottles in the sizes I needed (some for client giveaways) without noticing that you need to purchase the caps separately. Obviously this was my error but a very easy one to make.
It is not an easy task to lock the pump spout. Others I've had are easy by turning the pump spout to lock position. This one more messy having to push down and screw in.....
These bottles are great for oils and lotions. It can be setup with or without pump. easy to clean and recyclable.
It works like a charm. The eight ounce has a pumpable top, which is what I use. The two ounce has a flip top. The eight ounce looks huge compare to the others, but it the right size

Prosecutor wrote:With Boobie and AP both out we got an extended look at KI and Sessions in the backcourt together, although Mychel Thompson started. That pairing led a furious Cavs comeback that fell a little short as Garnett and Pierce held off the rally with some key baskets. Gee had a nice game including another highlight reel dunk and Andy was everywhere - and even hit three or four outside shots. I thought Scott screwed up at one point when he had a lineup of Sessions, both Thompsons, Samuels, and Varajao. There was nobody on the floor who could create his own shot the Cavs had nothing going offensively while the Celtics pulled out to a 22-point lead. It was ugly and he took too long to get a scorer back in there. If Andy could start knocking down that unchallenged 17-footer from the elbow with consistency it would add a lot to the Cavs' offense. Bass was a huge pickup for the Celtics. He saved their bacon tonight.

I just don't think you can do that the more I see him. There's no difference in his effort or his game from when it was LBJ and 66 wins to now.You can't buy that and you can't get enough value back in a trade on what he does. He's playing every game til he retires at warp speed and he's adaptable into any offense because he's not a guy that needs or gets a play called for him.A lot of people raised eyebrows when he got paid a couple years back.Dude is a bargain and maybe one of the best values in the league.

Prosecutor wrote:Yeah, I'm pulled both ways on that. The Cavs were down 22 points in the 3rd quarter last night and Andy was banging the boards, hustling his ass off, throwing himself on loose balls, and taking charges just like the game was tied and the playoffs were at stake. I agree, you can't buy that. What an example for the young guys on how to be a pro.That being said, Andy could make a huge difference on a number of teams that will be in the playoffs this year. He contributes at both ends of the floor, is totally unselfish, does a lot of things that don't show up in the stat sheets, can play both center and power forward, can start but doesn't mind coming off the bench, and is a bargain for three more years. He is being wasted on a below average team. The question is - can a contender offer the Cavs a worthwhile deal? They all will be drafting in the 20's, which is where you get guys like Eyenga and Hickson. If they get Andy they'll be drafting closer to 30. Even if they throw in somebody off their bench, how can that be worth a Varajao, especially since the Cavs would be left with Hollins and Erden at center?The Western Conference has eight teams with records in the 12-9 to 14-7 range. Good teams but in need of a player like Andy to give them a legitimate shot at the Finals. But how many of them could offer fair value, if any? If the Cavs don't trade AV, how will they avoid getting stuck in the middle, on the fringe of the playoffs but unable to get better?

Two good days...
I took a couple of days off from work and took my 18yr old son fishing. We went to Tremont on Thursday and did very well. He caught his first trout pretty quickly on a green weenie. We fished until just before 7pm and caught about 20 bows, with my best coming in at 9.5". We went to the Little River Camground and threw down the tent and had some hot dogs and roasted some marshmellows before turning in. We got up at 5:30 cooked some b-fast packed up and headed out for more. Our first stop was just below Elkmont and I picked up a 10" brown right away. After about an hour we headed up to Road prong and caught plenty of bows and brookies. He caught several and we had a great time. Not sure if I'll get out again this weekend, so good luck to everyone. Don't leave home without a green weenie. Every fish we caught hit the weenie, but one brookie on a #14 yellow body PA.
Re: Two good days...
Glad you did good. How did you do last Sunday? I stayed home and a lot of folks were doing well. If you read my post for Labor Day you saw that I didn't do too good. Difficult fishing.
Re: Two good days...
I'm sure this won't be much of a suprise, but we ended up not camping at #18. By the time we got back and had a bite to eat, time was getting sketchy. Not to mention I think we both were starting to chicken out a little. Mountaineers we are not. It started out that there would be four of us, then that dropped to two, with another guy from the board already supposed to be there. With the weather we were not sure if he would be there either. So it came down to just Mark and myself and that just wasn't good enough.
Back to your question... We fished lower elevation stuff and were sucking at it yet again, so we decided to go back to old faithful (Tremont). We caught plenty of bows and headed home around 2pm.
Are you feeling better? I'm looking forward to a Deep Creek trip soon... I may be able to fish Sunday, but I won't know until late Saturday. I'm out of town next weekend, but after that I should be in good shape. Maybe Clinch, HI, Deep Creek, or 'Luftee...

Even my husband uses it now!
Posted by NaturalMum on May 16, 2013
I wanted to switch to a fluoride free, natural toothpaste and after much research and ingredient researching settled on this one. Whilst the non-minty taste compared to regular toothpaste took a few times to get used to, the consistency is great and my teeth feel clean and my mouth feels fresh after using it. I would also add my mouth feels less dry than with commercial toothpaste. Best of all though is after my hubby calling me a hippy for switching I now know he's using it too as the same empty Colgate tube has been sitting in our bathroom for almost a year now!

Jason Sea Fresh Spearmint Toothpaste
Posted by Sprinkles on Apr 12, 2009
This is a very nice-tasting toothpaste to use. Soft spearmint flavor; not too strong. It would never burn your mouth like some other mints. This one doesn't do anything for whitening the teeth, however. Also, it has an extremely odd quirk in that the paste doesn't all melt down and foam out - some "clumps" of it stay in your toothbrush instead of all coming out in your mouth while brushing, so at the end, you have to rinse your toothbrush and shake it a couple of times, and the remaining toothpaste will then fall out in the sink in little clumps -- some rinses down the drain easily, but other clumps of it stick to the sink and are hard to get off. Very messy and too much trouble; I will not buy this toothpaste again because of this.
Great Product!

I go out of my way to buy this brand and here's why: at first I was concerned about using a toothepaste without floride - but floride is getting a VERY bad rap these days. Now the anti-bacterial formula in THIS toothpaste is as good or better than floride. It does a great job of keeping my teeth fresh and clean. If I'm having gum pain due to particles getting in and around my crowns and bridgework, I just head to the sink and brush with "Jason" - and the pain goes away. This is MY brand from now on! I have total confidence in it and can say NO more crest - NO more floride!!

Quite a pleasant toothpaste! After using it I feel my teeth are really clean, and I cannot say that about all supermarket brands I used before. The breath stays fresh for long too! And the tube is quite big. I'll order again.

My family, including a young child, has been using this toothpaste for 3 years. Back then I was not familiar with carrageenan. I was recommending this to a friend and wanted to send her the ingredient list when I found carrageenan was included. I will not be using this anymore until the ingredients are totally safe.

I have used this toothpaste for at least two years. This is the best toothpaste on the market. My dental hygienist cannot believe my gums and teeth are so good. I owe good dental health to Jason.

I don't like the taste. Not strong enough. Its not unpleasant. I just prefer my toothpaste to also act as a mouthwash.
Not for sensitive teeth

Tastes very good, but makes my sensitive teeth even MORE sensitive. I had to stop using it, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with sensitive teeth.
tastes great

and foams up good too. many natural toothpastes don't foam up very good or taste very good but this does both.
