Sun Protection: At 9,000 feet, exposure to the sun is 40% greater than it is at sea level. We recommend sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 15 or higher, as well as eye protection.
Lightning and Thunderstorms: Afternoon thunderstorms are common in the mountains and may cause interruptions and delays in summer activities and lift operations. Lifts and activities may close on occasion due to weather conditions, causing delays. Take proper precautions when you see or hear a storm developing: seek shelter, keep off ridgelines, and stay clear of chairlift houses, lift towers, power lines, open spaces, lone trees and signposts.
High-Altitude Environment: If you live at a lower elevation, you may tire more easily. Take it easy at first, plan short trips until you are acclimated and drink plenty of water. Some visitors may experience symptoms associated with Breck's high altitude. Symptoms may include headaches, nausea, and dizziness, loss of appetite, restless sleep, coughing and difficulty in breathing. If symptoms persist or if you have a concern about your health, you should seek medical attention."

At 10am, just as I was having my third coffee of the morning, the siren went off. It wailed and went on wailing.
Was Tel Aviv under attack? Was I meant to run as fast as I could to the closest underground shelter? Wherever that was.
The back of my hotel door only had directions to the fire escape. It said nothing about the nearest bunker. It said nothing about war. It only asked me to conserve water.
The siren was still blaring shrilly like some giant clearing his throat prior to making an important announcement. I rang reception to ask what was going on and what I should do. The phone rang and rang. No one picked up. No one answered.
I gave up and switched on the television, turning up the volume to hear what was being said. Nothing was being said on CNN about any kind of attack. Only a lot about Syria. And quite a bit about sport. I was told that the MAOF Index was up.
But nothing about an attack. I switched to the local channels. There seemed to be something wrong with the signal.
The siren whirred on. I looked out of the window at the street below. All the traffic had stopped. No car was moving. Nothing moved apart from a flag. No one on either side of the street was moving.
Everyone was perfectly still. Totally motionless. Frozen to the pavement. Adhered to the tarmac. I saw one man standing in the middle of the road. Another paralysed in the middle of a pedestrian crossing.
A man stood beside a car parked at the kerb. He was staring nowhere with his hands crossed over in front of him. His mouth seemed to be moving. He seemed to be talking to himself as if in prayer.
Behind shop windows I saw faces that didn't move. They seemed mesmerised into a trance by the wailing siren. Two schoolchildren, hand in hand, stood on the corner of the road neither speaking nor moving. Only their ponytails flapped in the breeze. The sun was hot but no one wiped their faces or the backs of their necks or blew out their cheeks at the heat. Nobody moved. They listened to the siren not wanting to miss a note.
To my right I saw an old man staring into a butcher's shop. I watched him. He didn't move at all. He stared into the window. He had just stopped what he was doing. Everyone had. Everyone did the same. Nothing.
On top of one building, amid scaffolding, I saw workmen who had stopped working. They looked glued to the planks that supported them. Away in the distance, I saw some movement. But it was only traffic-lights changing.
A bus stood at a bus stop, its door open to passengers. But the people at the stop refused to get on. There were 10 of them. Was it the wrong bus for them all?
They stood, straight-backed and chins held high looking at the bus, not saying a thing, not moving a muscle and stubbornly not getting on.
A dog barked and pulled at its lead. Its owner was expressionless and statue still.
The dog sat beside him and waited. Like him, like everyone, listening to the siren, as if reflecting on it. They looked asleep with their eyes open.
Then the siren stopped. The silence was deafening. And life resumed. People suddenly recognised each other again. They started talking to each other, smiling, laughing happily.
The schoolchildren skipped on and disappeared around a corner. The workmen went back to what they were doing. Cars moved off down the street, their delay over. The old man walked into the butcher's shop. Animate again, the butcher served him, smiling and wishing him well. Asking about his family. And business.
The man on the zebra crossing got to the other side of the street passed by two old ladies and the man walking his dog, the lead once more stretched tight. The figures at the bus stop got on the bus and it moved off.
I rang reception to see what had been going on and was told it was the Holocaust Memorial siren. The voice was flat and calm.
"Today is Yom Hashoah, sir. Holocaust, Devastation and Heroism Remembrance Day. It was first inaugurated in 1953 by Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and President Yitzhak Ben-Zvi. The nation remembers. Candles will be lit and Kaddish will be said." The voice paused. "For the six million."
There seemed nothing else to say.

Next year's Yom Hashoah on April 27-28, marks the anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto rising. Eighteen governments observe the day. The UN's Holocaust Memorial Day is on January 27.

Anyone made their own light weight down jacket? If so were these from a pattern and would you care to share the link/details?

Hi Mark,
I've seen a lot of information shared here on jackets, vests, etc. Have you tried searching the MYOG forum for "down jacket" yet?Apr 27, 2009 at 6:37 pm #1497396
Charles GrierBPL Member
@rinconLocale: Desert Southwest
You can get a good quality kit here:
Good materials, good instructions. The down jacket is the "Whitney Jacket" on the list of products. I made one and I am very happy with it.Apr 28, 2009 at 10:47 am #1497533

@4quietwoodsLocale: Michigan
Hi, Mark-
I seem to remember a comment from you on my MYOG baffled down vest article… that's about the best I can do as far as details for such a project. I didn't really have a pattern per se, just sort of worked one out using some existing garments as a starting point. I did end up with a pattern of sorts traced onto and cut out of plastic sheeting, but I don't have a way of digitizing or otherwise translating that information.
If you do work up your own, know that the pattern will shrink significantly in girth and length once you add down–so if it looks too big once you cut it out, don't sweat it.Apr 28, 2009 at 12:16 pm #1497552

@conlyLocale: Lots of canoeing and snow
I've made the one from Thru-Hiker and would definitely recommend it. I've made things from my own patterns before and they never turn out as well as something that came with a pattern and instructions. In fact, the jacket turned out well enough that it doesn't look homemade and I wear it around town as a winter coat.Apr 28, 2009 at 1:26 pm #1497572

@cowboisgirl-2Locale: Southwest
Is the construction of the Thru-Hiker kit sewn-thru or baffled?Apr 28, 2009 at 3:52 pm #1497606
Thomas ConlyBPL Member
@conlyLocale: Lots of canoeing and snow
The baffles are sewn through. My experience has been that unless the loft of the jacket is really high there isn't much point in having true baffles. There certainly wouldn't with the Whitney. I gave some advice to a guy on the forum once about making one. Here's what I wrote for anyone interested:
Mine is a an extra large and I used the athletic cut. They are really quite a bit smaller than you'd expect. I normally take a large but the extra large is still a bit smaller than I'd like. I shouldn't have used the athletic cut. It'd be a lot easier to layer if it wasn't A couple ideas from my experience: get the overfill and put any left over down in the arms in the centre three baffles. All the down tends to shift from the inside of the elbow to the outside when you move your arms and they get really cold. Also, I wish I had sewn the toggles for the drawcord in place. The instructions don't call for it, but you can get toggles that you can run a ribbon or webbing through, then you can adjust each side of the drawcord single handed.Apr 28, 2009 at 5:28 pm #1497621

@zkoumalLocale: Prague, CZ
I've made the jacket from thru-hiker's kit too, but baffled instead of sewn through. It required some thinking on how to assemble and fill it, but everything went well. It also used a bit more down, but I wanted a jacket for real cold.
The sizing seems good to me (I used the wider cut). The only problem is the really wide and relatively low collar. I wish I had measured it before I cut the fabrics, I'd modify it to fit better. As it is, it works well when layered over other cold-weather clothes, but when put just over some light layer, it doesn't seal the neck at all. If you decide to make the kit (I think it's cheaper than buying the materials separately), measure the pattern and check how it works for you.Sep 8, 2011 at 6:00 am #1777251
Jeremy OsburnMember
@earn_my_turnsLocale: New England
I made the thru-hiker jacket as my second MYOG project. I modified the design to be very minimal. It came out great, I ordered it with the overfill option and found a hood pattern linked in a MYOG thread on this forum. I also made it a pullover with a half zip, eliminated the pockets and pull strings. It has 5.9 oz of down and weights 10 or 11 oz with a stuff sack. The pattern is very easy to follow, I would recommend it to anyone with a lot of patience and a little bit of sewing skills.Sep 10, 2011 at 4:51 am #1778052
Jamie ShorttBPL Member
@jshorttLocale: North Carolina
Here is a pic of a down pullover I made starting with the pattern from Kinsman pullover. I made some mods to the sleeves and collar, and adjustments to convert it from a synthetic non baffled jacket to a down sewn thru jacket. For me the fit is the better than than any commercial down jacket I have tried on.
more details…. LytW8_M50_Down_Pullover
I realize you are looking for a pattern and this isn't a pattern I can share, because it was based off a thru-hiker pattern. But I would highly recommend thru-hiker kits.
An alternative way would be to obtain a pattern for a wind shirt. Something like this one….
and simply add the features you need, i.e. a full zip. Then make 2 layers identical layrs for each piece and sew them together, stuff with down, and add some sewn thru baffles. A little thought will need to happen as you assemble but this is all I did to make the pullover.
A down jacket is a bit complicated so if you think you need more instructions than what I have offered then I would recommend you consider a kit from thru-hiker. I really think the instructions may be more valuable than the pattern.

I got a strip kit of minky at the road 2 ca show, but have never sewed on minky, should i used a special foot to piece it together. I have a roller foot that i could use, just asking those who have experience with minky
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I got a strip kit of minky at the road 2 ca show, but have never sewed on minky, should i used a special foot to piece it together. I have a roller foot that i could use, just asking those who have experience with minky
When I did mine I used lots and lots of needles and my regular foot.. I have heard to use a walking foot. Just give yourself a little extra leeway o the seam 1/4 is nearly impossible!
quilting and LOVEING IT!
When you say needles did you mean pins
a longer stitch length- a stretch (round point) needle- i've always used my regular foot- but if you are someone who does well with your walking foot you might want to use it- a little wider seam allowance (i use a 3/8"- just under 1/2")
it is a polyester knit- and does have stretch so you want to smooth-not stretch it out of shape....which is why some people use lots of pins.
hiding away in my stash where i'm warm, safe and happy
I do seem to have better luck using my walking foot! But have used a regular foot as well, but reduced the pressure on the foot. Yes lots of pins and a ball point needle in your machine.
Glad you posted this Dolyphn, I will be watching all the suggestions. Have some minky I want to use in a project.
They say money does not buy happiness, but it buys fabric & fabric makes me happy!!
I just finshed a quilt with minky. I used my walking foot. Got as close to 1/4 inch seam, lots of pins n ironed seams open. I made a mistake tho, I had the raised dot minky and when I ironed I ironed the raised dots flat....oh well just more texture now in the quilt. I wasn't thinking lol.
I use a walking foot and it seems to go pretty smoothly.
I just used minky for the backing on a very small (20"x20") and LA'd it...it turned out great! No extra pinning except what I usually do and no problems...I am still stunned!
If you feel like you're special...it's 'cause you are!
I think a roller foot would work well too.

Two men have been arrested after a car fleeing police crashed into a transformer, cutting power in the south Auckland suburb of Takinini early this morning.
The brief pursuit started shortly after 2am when a police patrol spotted the car travelling at high speed down Great South Rd, Inspector Andy Brill of police northern communications said.
"They did a u-turn and within a couple of seconds the vehicle made a turn off Great South Rd and ploughed into a power transformer, and put a fair bit of Takinini in darkness," he said.
One man was arrested at the scene and a second man ran off. He was later caught by a police dog handler.
No injuries were reported in the crash.

Grace Self Storage is the trusted solution to your Sydney storage needs that comes to you. Think competitive pricing, convenience and service orientated, storage could not be easier.
Excellent service
The service provided was excellent. Had no issues with the process from collecting to storage to return. Professional and friendly.
Superb service
Very flexible and accommodating with great rates, careful handling and optimal storage conditions – even the wine tasted great after sitting in the container for two years.
Hassle free with excellent service
We moved our storage to Grace from another supplier. The team at Grace Self Storage were amazingly good to deal with, easy going and careful with our stuff. I was impressed!
Very impressed
I was thrilled when I noticed a Grace Bros portable storage unit delivering furniture across the road from where I was living. Ive moved a few times in the last few years and have been bitterly disappointed with a number of the removalists I've used. I must say from beginning to end I was very impressed with Simon and his team. The whole exercise was handled very professionally which eased the stress on me. Plus the portable storage means less handling while in storage. Congratulations Simon and GB's!
I wouldn't use anyone else now!!
We renovated our home and needed to put half the home in storage for 5 months approx. I called GRACE a couple of days before, and it was the easiest process I have ever gone through with removalists. Filled and signed the form online. They then turned up and loaded the storage container in such little time, so friendly, professional and careful. The loading option was great! I then emailed when we were ready for everything to be dropped back and it was the same seamless process. Everything arrived on time , nothing was damaged, very well stored and unloaded into our home. Nothing was too much to ask, the team was a dream to have in the home, and really worked hard and quickly. Extremely reliable. I was seriously impressed by this service. Couldn't fault a thing!!!!

Brunch Menu Ideas:Pain Perdue (New Orleans Style French Toast), Fiesta Potatoes with Peppers & Onions, Fiesta Eggs with Homemade Salsa, Hot & Sweet Mustard Cranberry Glazed Canadian Bacon and Chilled Strawberry SoupGuest Chef Randy Fuhrman
Pain PerdueMakes 6 servings
1 Loaf of Sourdough French bread (Get 6 to 10 slices pending on the size bread you use)3 Cups Half & Half8 Eggs, beaten¾ cup of Southern Comfort liquor(You can do this without any liquor for the kids or also substitute Grand Marnier, Amaretto, Spiced Rum½ cup of brown sugar½ teaspoon ground cinnamon½ teaspoon ground nutmeg¼ lb sweet butter to use as needed to brown off French toast 1. Cut bread into 2-inch slices; place in a single layer in a 12-cup casserole.
2. Combine Half & Half, beaten eggs, Southern Comfort; sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in large bowl; pour over bread slices. Weigh down bread with a dish; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally until all liquid has been absorbed by bread.
3. Next day, butter a large skillet; arrange bread slices in pan; sauté, turning once, until golden on each side.
4. Bake in moderate over (350°) for 20 minutes or until puffed.
Serve With Maple Syrup With Wild Berries (Can Use Frozen When They Are Out Of Season).How to make Syrup11/2 cups real maple syrup 11/2 cups assorted berries fresh or frozenRaspberry's, blueberries, blackberries or strawberries. I like them all with this.
Fiesta Potatoes, Peppers & OnionsServes 4
2 large Idaho potato1 red onion peeled and cut julian1 red pepper deseeded and sliced julian1 yellow peppers deseeded and sliced julianSeasoned pepper to tasteSalt to taste½ teaspoon finely chopped garlic (optional) (you can use granulated garlic)2 T salted butter2 T cup safflower oilLarge cookie sheet
1. Wash the potato and puncture with a fork.2 .in your microwave place potato and put on high heat and cook for between 4 to 7 minutes ( You want the potato to still be firm put partially cooked).3.

In large skillet melt the butter and then put in the oil.6. put your potatoes and season them with the garlic, salt and seasoned pepper.7. Cook potatoes so that they look brown on one side and then flip over till they get brown on other side.8 take done potatoes and place on cookie sheet and place in preheated oven.9. Get pan hot and then add onions until almost soft.10. Then throw in your peppers and sauté until totally warmed through season with salt and pepper (you do not want to overcook the peppers so that they still have a little crunch to them when you put them in the oven with the potatoes).
Note: These can hold in a warm oven for over an hour so you can do these ahead of time so you are not doing them last minute. I serve these with ketchup.
Fiesta EggsServes 4 to 8

Sauté off chips for about 5 minutes on a medium heat.3. Add your onions and keep sautéing until onions are soft.4. Then add your beaten eggs and keep stirring occasionally until eggs are set.5. Add the cheese and stir well when cheese is melted.6. Then add the salsa and stir a couple of times.
Note: If you are concerned about this being too spicy use a mild salsa and you can serve a spicier salsa on the side for you guest.
Some other things you can add for condiments to make it a little more fun if you like are:Sliced olivesSliced green onionsSour creamCilantro leaves
This dish does extremely well for brunches because you can put it out on a hot plate and it will not dry out.
Authentic Mexican Basic Tomato Salsa RecipeFresh Tomato Salsa Recipe Ingredients Makes Around 2 Cups
. 2 large, red ripe tomatoes, peeled and seeded . 1 garlic clove peeled. 1 Anaheim green chili, seeded and cut into thirds. 3 green onions, cleaned and cut into 1 inch pieces. 4 oz canned chopped green chilies . 1 to 3 whole jalapeños, deveined and seeded (Optional to taste). 1/4 cup packed tightly fresh cilantro leave, . 1 teaspoon olive oil . 1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice . salt and pepper to taste . ¼ cup ice water
1. Char the tomatoes over a gas grill or under the flame of a hot broiler for a few seconds, turning them until the peel blisters. Slip off the peel, and the flesh will still be firm. Remove the green stem core and cut the tomatoes in half vertically. Use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds.
2. In the food processor, turn the motor on chop first and drop in the garlic, cilantro, green onions and jalapeños into the bowl of the food processor to chop for just a few seconds. Turn off the motor and scrap down the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula.
3.Add all the remaining ingredients from the tomato salsa recipe, tomatoes, Anaheim chili, the chopped green chilies, olive oil and lime juice . Process with brief pulses to reach the desired texture, somewhere between a chow-chow relish and a textured puree.You want to see bits of all the vegetables throughout the salsa.
4. Salt and pepper to taste. Pour into a serving bowl and allow to season for approximately one hour. Just before serving mix in the 1/4 cup of ice water to cool the salsa.

The Kindness of Students
Sexual tension so thick you can cut it with a knife. Humor wicked enough to make Liz Taylor blush. Greed, death, dysfunction, and the powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity. Hardly the kind of thing youd expect from fresh-faced college students, but thats just what youll discover at the University of Miamis Ring Theatre. The Theater Arts Department is opening its season with a boozy bang, with the rich sinfulness of Tennessee Williamss Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Can Streetcar be far behind?
The play has revived more than a dozen floundering acting careers -- Kathleen Turner, Ashley Judd, Jason Patric, and the late Fred Gwynne have all drawled and stumbled their way across the stage, and the 1958 film further cemented Paul Newman, La Liz, and Burl Ives as Hollywood icons -- all with good reason. Williams captured the dynamics of Southern gentility with sprawling, magnificent roles that give actors a chance to act sexy, drink onstage, and hiss at each other with ferocity. Theater buffs should be determined to see it. And theres nothing more determined than a cat on a hot tin roof, is there? Is there, baby? Oh yeah.

Shamrock Ponies Win 28-12
B.C.A.C Shamrock Ponies coasted to their first victory of this early
season with a 28- 12 romp over the Bayville Falcons.
Patrick Cavnaugh led all scorers with two touchdowns. Cavanaugh opened up the game with a 50 yard touchdown run around the left end as he followed some outstanding blocking from the offense line. Speedster Cavanaugh scored his second touchdown of the game when he led off the second half with a 60 yard kickoff return. The Shamrock offense was spectacular, being led by quarterbacks Shariff Soliman and Benny Gross.
Soliman lead the team up and down the field in the first half with some pinpoint passing to Andy Minami and Dennis McMahon who scored on an extra point conversion. Soliman was error free throughout the first half leading the offense. Benny Gross took over in the second half and did an outstanding job. The offense line had an outstanding game blowing open holes on each side of the line for the running backs. Danny McMahon, Ray Agolia, Ray Newton, Robbie Consolo, Anthony Dello, Brian Madden and Kathy Kelly all contributed to the offensive outburst. The offensive drives were provided by the monster running of Willie Gill, Spenser Daly and Anthony Pagano. Gill scored on a three yard blast up the middle. Spenser "I Can Do It Coach" Daly kicked an extra point right through the uprights which brought the large home crowd at Memorial Field to their feet, Daly was also outstanding on defense making some crushing tackles. The awesome hard running and unbelievable defensive play of Pagano has the league in fear. Pagano was in the opponents backfield all day causing havoc for the offense. Joey Feria
one of the most dynamic players on the team scored a touchdown for his second of the season. Feria has become a fierce player with his ability to run the ball as well as his rough defensive play. The Shamrock defense has been dominating in their first two games being led by middle linebacker Captains Danny McMahon and Willie Gill. McMahon closed the middle all game with some
grueling hits and is probably one of the most feared hitters in the league.
Gill recorded two quarterback sacks and made some big hits. Sean O'boyle had his first interception of the season and had some fine tackles form the corner back position. Connie Denny. Eddy Walls ,Timmy Lenoard, David Bierne, Joe Tyne,Benny Gross and Shariff Soliman all played outstanding on the
field. Coach Gene Guttieri called an outstanding game on the offense side.
Gene was seen smiling all game as his offense had it's way with the opposing defense all day. Coach McMahon had his superior defense rising to the occasion as it held the opponents to just two touchdowns, one coming on the last play of the game. Special teams coach Gerrard Brosnahan was relieved after the game as he survived another week as the special teams coach. After
giving up a touchdown on a punt return in week one coach Gerrard sporting his new coaches shirt was on the demoting block. The Ponies head to Levittown Friday night 8:00 p.m. sharp and take on the tough Levittown team.
The Broad Channel Athletic Club would like to bid a sad farewell to Kevin Boyle who moved on to greener pastures. Kevin was always there for the B.C.A.C. and we
over in the Channel will miss him and his outstanding views from Boyle-ing Points. Good Luck to ya Kevin and welcome to John McLoughlin, hope we can have as good a relationship with you as we did Kevin.
Coach Martin Feeney

HERE is a mystery. Why is there no agreed format for distributed video? There is for compressed still images - it is called JPEG, a format agreed on by camera and software makers when digital imaging was in its infancy. All cameras know about JPEG and all photo-editing programs, web browsers and email clients display JPEG compressed images.
The story with video is different. There are a number of different compression methods to make video files small enough to fit on memory cards or shared on the interweb. When these files are loaded into a video-editing program, the output can be in any one of several mutually incompatible formats.
Adobe Flash Video was the universal format until the late Steve Jobs declared that Flash would not now, or ever, work on his iPhones and iPads. Only a codec called, generically, H.264 was permitted on his iDoodads. Firefox supports a format known as Ogg and plays Flash video and the latest news is that future releases of the browser will support H.264 - another victory for Apple in its inexorable march to monopoly.
If you share your videos through YouTube, this is all esoteric irrelevance because Mr YouTube sorts it all out for you and no matter what device or browser your pals are using, they will be able to watch your masterpiece.
However, if you want more control over your shared content, creating your own web pages or blog with video inserts, the solution is coming with HTML5. The new convention allows for a ''video'' tag in the hypertext markup language (HTML) code and, between the opening and closing of the tag, links to the video in all the necessary formats for universal viewing are inserted. The web browser scans the formats on offer and chooses one it can play and opens that.
The drawback with this arrangement is the tedium of creating the video file in several formats and then writing the lines of code.
Enter Easy HTML5 (easyhtml5video.com), a free program to make the job a doddle. Just make the video in any format - say, MP4 - then drag and drop the output file into Easy HTML5, select all the options and click Start. Go away, have a cup of tea and when you get back the video will have been converted to other formats and the HTML5 code generated.
The lines of code between the ''video'' tags need editing to link to the server where the content folder is uploaded, then they can be pasted into your blog HTML. It's as easy as the name claims. With the free version, a discreet link to easyhtml5video.com is inserted at the top right of the video frame. The bought version ($49) removes the link.

If you're out and about and desperately need your iPhone charged, the PowerTrekk may be just for you. The device uses water to power any USB device.
A new technology found in the charger combines a fuel pack and water to create energy. The process creates hydrogen, and then turns that hydrogen into energy. And according to the creators the charge time is instant, eliminating the waiting that plagues solar powered charging devices. It's also safe.
"The chemistry process is safe, controllable and eco-friendly, and the only bi-product from the fuel cell is a little water vapor," the PowerTrekk site read. Unfortunately, details on when it will be available and for how much haven't been released.

Joanna Lumley talks about The X Factor culture
"We say we have to create jobs — it"s not just about creating jobs, people have to get out and do stuff," the Telegraph quoted her as saying.
"We"ve stopped having an interest in things, we just sit there watching other people"s lives on TV. It"s not pitiful — it would be snotty and stupid to say that — but it"s dull. Teeth-rottingly dull. I simply can"t bear lethargy. And when children here want to be on The X Factor I think, 'Why? Don"t just want to be famous, do something that"s really fascinating. The world is crammed with opportunities"," she said.
Her advice to young people is not to wait until someone "creates" a job for them, but to find something to do that they are passionate about. "All children are boiling with excitement," she said. "But if you crush it, then feed them filth, dullness, repetitive nothing, tell them they"ll be paid for doing nothing, tell them a job will be created for them, how can that child ever know there are horizons to see or to follow?" she added.

For Immediate Release: Saturday, June 8, 2013
Under a brilliantly conceived and executed ride by jockey Kendrick Carmouche, Richlyn Farm's Lighthouse Bay rallied past six rivals to post a convincing two and three-quarter length victory in the $75,000 Jostle Stakes Saturday afternoon at Parx Racing. For the three year-old Speightstown filly it was the second stakes of her six race career and jumped her lifetime earnings to just over $172,000.
Breaking from the inside gate in the seven horse field in the six and a half furlong sprint for three year-old fillies, Lighthouse Bay broke well, but with every horse on her outside also out in good order, Carmouche quickly settled on his strategy. "Mr. Weaver (winning trainer George Weaver) and I wanted to put her in position to make one good run," remarked Carmouche. "We'd done that over the winter in winning a stake in Maryland. When all the other fillies came charging out of there, I took hold of her and got her to the outside. I didn't want to stuck down on the inside. We put in her perfect position to make her run and it couldn't have worked out any better."
Having been gathered back, Lighthouse Bay was last coming out of the short shoot onto the main track, but guided into the clear on the outside she very quickly and very readily made progress toward the two front runners, Sense of Reality and Dreamingofcarmella as they moved toward the half mile pole. Five lengths back in the opening furlong, Lighthouse Bay was only two back with four furlongs to go. Having moved into the perfect striking position outside the two leaders, Carmouche now bided his time onto and around the far turn, creeping just a bit closer as they approached the top of the stretch.
Knowing it was time to go, Carmouche asked his filly to engage the now tiring leaders just outside the eighth pole and quickly took command. Taking over in the middle of the race track, Lighthouse Bay immediately began to pull away and widened that advantage down to the wire, winning by a clear cut margin of two and three-quarter lengths.
Bet down to 3-5 at post time, Lighthouse Bay paid $3.40, 3.00, and 2.40. Dreamingofcarmella (7-2) stayed on well despite being with a contested pace, proved second best and paid 4.20 and 3.20. Doubled (10-1) rallied late to get up for third and paid 4.00 to show. The final time over a track that had dried to fast was 1:18.40.

President Obama speaking in Virginia yesterday.
Photo by Cliff Owen/Associated Press
It's presidential campaign season and though completely unopposed at this point, President Obama is in full campaign mode.
To wit, his latest gambit pushing for a $5 to 10 billion plan to help certain home owners, those currently keeping up on their monthly payments but whose mortgages are under water.
The proposal would affect 3.5 million homeowners with good credit, but can't refinance at today's low rates because their homes current value is less than what they owe.
His argument is these homeowners can't afford to let the housing market bottom out is a direct counter to Mitt Romney (his likely opponent next November) who remarked recently that the housing market needed to "hit the bottom" before it could recover.
So the president was clearly aiming a campaign jab solely at Romney intending to show their differences where he is squarely on the side of helping homeowners while Romney's remarks revealed he could care less about the homeowner's plight.
But really, it's all political theatre. The Republicans, particularly in the House, aren't about to endorse Obama's plan which was highlighted by House Speaker Boehner saying, "How many times have we done this? I don't know why anyone would think this next program would work." It has no chance of being enacted.
So Obama's plan is really dead in the water, but to borrow a phrase from ex-president, now wise man Bill Clinton, it shows Obama "feels your pain."
The bottom line is, if this president really cared about homeowners, he'd have pushed for helping ALL homeowners in distress way back in the first 100 days in his presidency in 2009.
Back then the sub-prime mortgage bubble had burst in 2008, millions were already being foreclosed upon, most couldn't get refinancing, their mortgages out valued by the homes current worth, people were walking away from their homes, many people were in bankruptcy court and judges weren't permitted to force mortgage holders to rework and refinance with homeowners i.e. reduce principal based on the current market value ("cramdown") which would have permitted people to remain in their homes.
Obama's supporting these types of real reform would have taken guts. It would have meant directly confronting intransigence on the right. It would have been politically risky. It would have meant taking on the big banks. And this was before the "robo signing" scandal that showed the big banks and other large mortgage holders were continuing to scam the system.
Where was Obama then? In fact where has he been BEFORE re-election mode became paramount and required him to "appear" he was on the side of the people?
So why so rough on Obama; because he raised expectations and didn't deliver; people trusted him; I trusted him. He raised hopes, then squandered it all by appeasing the right and his own "blue dog" Democrats on everything of consequence from health care reform, reform of the financial industry, mortgage foreclosure reforms to holding the Bush mob responsible for authorizing torture, expanding the wars to increasing the use of drones; the list goes on and on.
So maybe most Americans have short memories or ready to vote for the lesser of evils. But all this will do is continue, business as usual, regardless of who wins in November.
What it all comes down to is it's all a political charade, masquerading as real differences between the Republicans and the Democrats. But it's only a continuation of our plutocracy of oligarchs who have captured both parties and our representative democracy to do their bidding.

When the air begins to bear a bitter chill, there is but one pleasure I always look forward to: cozying up to a warm, smooth cup of hot chocolate. The chilliness that accompanies Fall and Winter can be disheartening, but I can always count on a good cup of cocoa to warm me up. There's nothing quite as comforting as hot, liquified chocolate. It brings back memories of playing in the snow as a kid, then, after becoming sufficiently frozen, running inside to find a crackling fire and a mug of hot cocoa. Those were the days.
Nowadays, I worry a bit more about the calories in that hot chocolate. Sure, it's delicious, but is it worth it? I'm very much against drinking calories, my reasoning being that why waste your calories on a drink when you can use them on indulgent foods and drink all the water you want? I do a pretty good job of sticking to this; I don't find soda or juice the least bit tempting. But hot chocolate? Now, that's a different story.
Luckily, there is hope for those of us who are hot for hot chocolate: 25-calorie hot cocoa mix. It's made by Swiss Miss and it's pretty darn delicious, especially considering it's a meager 25 calories. Such a small number has little impact on one's day, so you can sip away without any remorse!
Because I drink so much of that stuff in the colder months, I need a way to switch it up every now and then. Hence this Cinnamon Swirl Hot Chocolate. I love a little sprinkle of cinnamon with my hot cocoa. The flavors wonderfully compliment each other.
This version is even better with a touch of vanilla sweetness from powdered coffee creamer and a deepened chocolate flavor from the addition of rich cocoa powder. The best part about this warm, indulgent drink? It clocks in at 84 calories!
So, if you're looking for something sweet & cozy to warm you up without filling you up (with guilt), then whip up this frothy, creamy, comforting beverage!
A Few Tips Before You Get Cooking:
- If you've never tried almond milk, now's the time! Why you ask? Well…
- It is delicious. It tastes just like regular milk with the slightest little nutty flavor (which I personally love). It makes all your cereals better (especially ones like Honey Bunches of Oats where its nutty flavor compliments the flavor of the cereal) and it's AWESOME in hot chocolate.
- It's much creamier than just using water in hot cocoa and adds that yummy nutty flavor you can't get from regular milk.
- A cup of almond milk is only 40 CALORIES. One cup of fat-free or skim milk has 86 calories, which is more than double, and 1% has 110 calories which is almost 3 times as much! That's a huge difference. Almond milk is your friend, my little cookies.
- Do NOT substitute regular milk for the almond milk. As I stated above, you could be almost TRIPLING your calories. If you refuse to give the almond milk a shot, then use water. It's calorie-free!
- This takes all of 3 minutes to make, so it's perfect when you need something nice and sweet super fast!
- You can use the sweetened almond milk instead for just a couple calories more.
- Wondering how else you can jazz up plain hot chocolate? I like to mix in a teaspoon of espresso powder. It deepens the chocolate flavor and gives the hot cocoa an added kick.
- You could certainly make an indulgent, full-calorie version. Just replace the diet hot cocoa mix with regular! You could also use regular milk in that case, but I still suggest the almond milk for its flavor.
Cinnamon Swirl Hot Chocolate
Recipe by The Smart Cookie Cook

Whether Colorado Mountain College will start charging for classes teaching English as a Second Language remains to be seen.
The CMC Board of Trustees unanimously decided at its Monday meeting that more studies and discussions were needed before such a decision could be made.
"We are seeking more comprehensive input," CMC board chairwoman Doris Dewton said.
In May, CMC's College Council, which includes deans and administrators from all CMC campuses, voted to charge for ESL courses starting next spring.
After the recent review by the CMC Board of Trustees, more information will be gathered and discussed at the board's November retreat. At that point or later, the board will decide whether such charges should be put in place.
If the CMC board decides to go forward with fees, they likely would not be put in place before fall 2006, CMC President Robert Spuhler said. Exactly how much could be charged for an ESL course is undetermined, but one value that has been considered is $24, Spuhler said.
The concept of charging for ESL classes has been discussed for three or four years, he said.
Currently, the classes are free and are funded through the college's general fund, as well as through grants for adult basic education, he said. Classes were free, in part, because federal grants used in the program forbid charging fees.
However, fees now are all--owed if they are reasonable and if no student is denied access, Spuhler said.
The college does not want to put financial obstacles or barriers in front of any student population, he said. But with a small fee, the college could put money back into the program to enhance it.
The college's budget is set up so that as more teachers and classes are needed, the college receives more funding to pay for those employees.
The extra funds would not pay for teachers, he said, but would help pay for supplies, textbooks, student support, tutoring and assistance for teachers.
Spuhler said that if fees were put in place, the college would provide financial assistance to students who could not pay for the program. Anyone who expresses interest in the program and talks with CMC staff should be able to participate.
However, he said, it would take careful communication to make sure the number of people interested in the program contacting CMC in the first place did not decrease because of incorrect or insufficient information about fees.
Spuhler said he was not surprised by the CMC board's decision and that there has been no rush to start charging for the program.
Rather, the college is committed to providing education and training for non-English speakers who are learning English.
"It's been a great program," Spuhler said. "The program has just continued to grow."
The ESL program at CMC's Alpine Campus in Steamboat Springs serves about 150 students a year.

Do conservatives really want to defend Mitt Romney's finance capitalism? Bill Kristol gets the Mitt & Bain game right
by Ryan Streeter on January 10, 2012. Follow Ryan on Twitter.
Bill Kristol's short piece on the whole controversy over Mitt Romney's Bain record is about the best statement on the matter.
As Kristol point out, the critiques from Newt, Perry and Huntsman "have been unfair, over the top, and, for that matter, all over the place."
But just like the 60s radicals who quoted Sartre and Camus ad nauseum but never read them, a number of conservative commentators have pulled out the Joseph Schumpeter they love to quote but have never read and have rushed to Romney's defense. Of these folks Kristol writes:
Criticism of any behavior by a private firm? Outrage! An Assault on Capitalism! Haven't they read Schumpeter? Don't they know the glories of Creative Destruction? And, of course, all such destruction must be assumed to be creative! Yikes. If this is where some in the conservative movement and the Republican party are inclined to go—four cheers for finance capitalism!—good luck. Indeed, it's useful to flush out this tendency now, and subject it to debate. Because it's a recipe for political disaster—and intellectual sterility.
Good words.
The problem with Romney's defenders isn't that they're wrong about the value Bain created. Bain did a lot of good, I'm sure, through its Schumpeterian dynamism. The problem with Romney's defenders is that their view of capitalism is too narrow, just as Romney's is. Finance capitalism works well for the financiers, but by itself, it's not necessarily pro-opportunity or upward mobility. Romney, like some of his defenders, has little to say on this topic. His tax plan tries to show he's a middle class guy by its treatment of rates and capital gains – but that's nothing, really. He has yet to show he understands how the ladder of opportunity works in America.
And defending Bain as evidence on this front just makes him and his defenders look silly.

Where I stayed
Breakfast was great, a big buffet including pancakes made on a crepe skillet, omelets to order and a wide selection of salads, yogurts, granola, jams, compotes and hot items...more eggs and breakfast meats and bacon..plus cold cuts. There was also delicious oatmeal with maple syrup, nuts and other toppings I could take from roaming around the buffet. There were more families this morning than last night, so perhaps Morry's fears of this being like The Shining are misplaced! I managed to get a few stories on video of mom and dad's prior travels...the one about their trip to France just after the war when the franc was facing huge inflation and the currency printers could not keep up. Dad paid a cab driver 10 x the francs he should have.
Customer service remains sporadic. In some cases the people are friendly, but completely uninformed. In many guidebooks it speaks of the walk up the mountain to the Diana tower. It is a lovely hike, but try to get someone to tell you how to get there. The info person at the hotel appeared not to even know what we were talking about...and this site is described thusly in the guidebook. You have not seen Karlovy Vary if you have not visited the Diana Tower!
So we set off and as soon as we found the trail, conveniently located behind our hotel(making it even more imponderable as to why the guest services woman had no idea where it was!) it started to rain. We came back to the hotel, gathered our umbrellas (Mom and Dad were walking the boulevard), and started up the trail. At the beginning of the trail there is this completely abandoned building right by the funicular. There is really very little attempt to "pretty up" the tourist sites, although admittedly very few people were walking up. There do seem to be a lot of abandoned properties though. It is a lovely walk in the woods that is very badly marked. A funicular also takes you to the top, but of course, that was out of the question for me. At times, the trail markers point in two different directions, but we managed to figure out that the trail marked 17 in the map, was actually the trail marked by two white and one blue stripe. Once we had gathered this, it was pretty easy to find our way up. We were faced with a downpour at one point, but I optimistically pointed to a clear spot in the sky and convinced Morry to continue the climb. It did clear up, and at the top, where we met the funicular, we were rewarded with the said tower (tourist trap restaurant) and a fabulous view of the valley below us.
At the top of the hill, there is a tower which I walked up and Morry took the lift. There is a sign at the lift that it is available, but "sports types" can use the stairs. That fit me! Then Morry tried to take the funicular down, but without a ticket we could not, and I was more than content to walk down, the rain now behind us. After the past few days in the frenetic cities of Berlin and Prague, some time in the woods was a welcome break.
The hotel is beginning to fill up and I guess as the weekend approaches it will get busier. The springs seem to have people who have arrived on buses. As I write this later in the afternoon, it seems to have settled down a bit. Almost no one was on the trail to the Diana Tower, the crowds preferring the town. I still have the bitter metallic taste in my mouth of those restorative waters.
Karlovy Vary is not hectic, but it is filled with tourists...and the only language you really hear is Russian. Most shops, understandably cater to the Russian tourists,which may explain the selection of goods available (see below). After the climb, we decided to try the famous springs. There are 15 of them and they are supposed to help you with "locomotive" problems. Not sure I want to know the translation! Mom and dad had returned to the hotel as we came to return our umbrellas and had purchased one of the crazy sippy cups. It was a tiny one, lucky for me. Mom had already tried the water and said it was awful. Yet, there are hundreds of people crowding around these springs, filling vessels far larger than the tiny one of mine. I approached with an open mind. All I can say, is it was like drinking liquid minerals. I tried about 10 of them, tasting no more than a tiny swallow with my miniature cup. Each one was worse than the one before, the only difference being the temperature of the water. I said to Morry I think it is like the Emperor's New Clothes...no one is brave enough to say that it is awful. And really, you should see the size of some of these jugs. There are signs that the maximum you can fill is 1 litre! Judging by the looks of the crowds, I'm not so sure of the restorative powers, although without knowing exactly what locomotive problems are, maybe they are being miraculously healed. Or, perhaps these jugs are being used to service cars. I don't know, but we took some funny pictures anyway and seemed to be the only skeptics among a throng of believers.
We then walked the 4km or so stretch of boulevard, which again, has its charming and lovely points, but for the most part is populated by one shop after another of clothing (expensive and ugly), china and porcelain (expensive and ugly), jewelry (ditto) and restaurants. I am a pretty interested shopper, so to have a 4km stretch, back and forth along the river, making 8km of prime shopping real estate and having not one entice me enough to enter says something about the mercantile offerings. Either I am losing my desire, or really, this stuff is just gaudy and tasteless. Yesterday, when I did enter one leather glove store, the staff hovered over me in an almost distrustful way and nothing had prices. When I asked the cost of a pair of gloves, the clerk took out a calculator to press in 2200 to show me. I guess it is easier than trying to explain, but easier still would be to post prices. I always get nervous when they are not and a calculator, which is far to variable, is used to exhibit costs.
Dad described his mother and father in a picture here from 1929 walking down a street lined on both sides with trees, so we went looking for that area. We may have found it at the other end of the town from the hotel, but I am not sure. Meanwhile, he is worried that his parents visited in 1929 just before the crash and we are here now. Let us hope that history does not repeat itself.
We took the long walk in search of an information booth which was supposed to be in a hotel called the Thermal Hotel. Talk about throwback to the Soviet era It is this massive hulking block of a building dominating one end of the boulevard. Hideously ugly and soon to be home of the July 2011 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. The signs directing you towards the info spot suddenly stop and we could not even enter the Thermal Hotel, where the outdoor patio is crumbling, the windows are streaked with grime, and there is an overall look of forlorn neglect. They do seem to be trying to spruce it up for the film festival, but what an odd place. We never did find information.
On our way meandering back, we shared a great margherita pizza in one of the hundreds of cafes that line the boulevard. It was attached to the Hotel Kosmos, a seedy looking place and the patio was filled with bikers. In fact, Karlovy Vary today is filled with bikers! Seedy though it may have been it had a clean WC and wifi, so as an added bonus, we were able to check our email. Just stopping to view the menu brought out the waiter who all but dragged us in. However, the meal was good...pizza and a beer. (185 crowns)
Again, it is really a strange place here. It is as if time stopped in 1929, its glory days as Carlsbad, and then again in the 1950's. I must say, and I am enjoying this trip immensely, but Eastern Europe still has a way to go in terms of providing the kind of tourist experience that many from the West expect. I can see how Howard's work in Montenegro is needed. We walked into one of the main spas here, famous since probably the turn of the Century. The outside of the Lazne III is ornate and elaborate, like those old Atlantic City buildings on the Beach. You walk inside and Morry says, it is like walking into a hotel in China during the 80's. Dingy, dark, hand-written signs (the closed info booth inside directing you back to the Thermal Hotel, where we could find no sign of information), run down empty hallways and corridors. And this is where you get a doctor to give you a full physical and recommend your spa treatment. No thanks! It is really a strange place!
Tonight is our last night as we head off by car to Krakow. It will be a long drive, probably over 8 hours, but it is time to pack our wagons and head out. Not only that, the weather seems to be changing again...overcast and much chillier than earlier in the day.
Back from the Embassy Restaurant and a delicious meal. Just a block away from the hotel, we entered a dark elegant series of rooms. The service was crisp and very good, but our highly efficient waiter was without affect and had n sense of humor. Dad and I had the trout, which was excellent. Mom had goulash with spaetzle. The goulash she said was salty. Morry has boar, which was tough, but that may be the nature of the beast. Literally. The Moravian white wine was quite nice, but the highlight was the three desserts we ordered. One was an apricot filled dumpling which was noted on a card on the table. What was not noted nor did the waiter tell us, that it took 20 minutes to prepare. Dad was starting to get rather annoyed, the coffee had come and we had finished it, but just in the nick of time, the dumplings arrived with the other two delicious selections. We ordered just because of the description, cooked strawberries with green peppers and ice cream. We had to try this. In fact, it was green pepperCORNS that were cooked with the strawberries and it was delicious! The spicy peppercorns were matched perfectly with the sweet strawberries and the ice cream! It was very yummy. The third dish was good, but felt like breakfast...pancakes with blueberry sauce and whipped cream. All in all, at the same price as last night's dinner of 2700 crowns, it was overwhelmingly better and well worth it. The reason I am putting in various prices is for posterity. Mom and dad were saying that when the Four Seasons Restaurant opened in the 50's the $12 lunch was at the time the most expensive restaurant meal in NY. I think the meal was 4 battered shrimp with a mustard sauce.
Another lovely evening, although it feels like a fall evening in Vermont and not a summer evening in June! Tomorrow we leave the strange contradictions of the Czech Republic and explore Poland.

Have recieved Mitsubishi Diamondpro 930sb - Not happy. Monitor not "totally flat" as stated and blurry on text. Also pixel pitch can clearly be seen yielding unsmooth surfaces on workarea at 1280 by 1024 res (on a side note would like to hear from people with same model if have had similar experience or not).
I now need peoples recommendations as to which monitor to get for CG work (mostly Maya Photoshop compositing and a lot of reading). Price dictates I aim for something in the area of 19 inch crt or 17 inch lcd display. Still, would be happy to hear about your positive experience with any monitor setup.

The Cubs addressed an urgent need Wednesday when they acquired left-hander Mike Montgomery from the Mariners in a four-player trade.
Montgomery, 27, was a first-round pick of the Royals in the 2008 draft. He was a starter in the minors and last year with the Mariners before turning to relief this season. He has a 2.34 ERA in 32 appearances while striking out 54 and walking only 18 in 61 2/3 innings. Montgomery has limited left-handed batters to a .164 batting average.
The 6-foot-5 Montgomery could return to the rotation as soon as next season, President Theo Epstein said.
"I had a lot of good times (with the Mariners), but I'm excited," Montgomery told...

The first thing that comes to mind when talking the cornerback position is playmakers! Guys that can truly change the way a offense attacks a defense. When you have a dominant player at this position, it makes an offense take notice of where that person lines up each and every play. It sometimes limits your offensive schemes and alters where and when to attack, unless you have a receiver that can match up with an equal skill set!

We are settled in our cute apartment and after another sleep in we arose at 9am to face another day. I have not previously mentioned the weather, it has been nothing other than beautiful ,just like Spring days in Sydney. Ken sitting outside on balcony enjoying a glass of wine at 5.30 in tee shirt.

As usual we were following the google maps lady and as I had decided to take the backroads she decided to take us up the back streets of Gordes. As we wove up the hill the corners were very tight and at times I slowed to a crawl to avoid scrapping the wheels on one side or the other. ...

Shoppers of the world unite, Aix-en-Provence is the place for you!
I am not a shopper, however, so I don't feel I could appreciate this city as much as others could. I took the bus from Avignon....direct, simple trip. The centre of town was only a 5 minute walk from the bus station, and right away I saw a pretty awesome fountain right in front of me. I was hoping for more of this, Aix is sometimes called the city of fountains, but the rest ...
The long, long day, Part Deux
... As with the other concerts, we were pretty well drenched by the time we were done. The ladies were sweaty, but I really feel sorry for the guys in their tuxes with no air conditioning and Mediterranean weather. The orchestra hosted an after-concert gathering in the courtyard after the concert with pizza, sandwiches, brownies (sounds American, no?) and wine. We were on the buses by 11:30 p.m. and started the two-hour drive to Cannes.
