Hanyu's TES of his TEB free was 87.3 points.
Replacing first two jumps with those of GPF, you will get TES of 99.9 points.
Such a huge number could prop up his PCS at least 3 or 4 points.
Most likely, Hanyu would have gotten about 280 points at TEB if he skated like at GPF.
The difference of 13 points could be explained for the home bonus and federation's favorite ("ace") bonus.
I think he was given about 286 points even if it was not in Japan, beating Chan comfortably.
These PCS are what Hanyu should get if he were skating to an updated version of his 2012 Long Program. His current program is formulaic crap and the scores are undeserved. Unless he skates absolutely perfect, he definitely won't get that much at the Olympics.
However, I'm glad Hanyu scored so well at this competition, to shut up some annoying people who like to downplay his abilities/chances. His technical ability is higher than anyone else in the World and he can be an amazing performer, when given the right vehicles.
There's pretty much nobody I'm rooting for to win the Olympics at this point. All of the Men in contention have disappointing Long Programs this season.
Oh, and seeing Patrick fans cry foul when another skater is overscored strikes me as a bit hypocritical - just saying .
Hanyu - excellent. That program is great for him, and the choreography is great too, very expressive. I loved what Brian Orser said in the kiss and cry, that there is still room for improvement. So if he can get a score like this with a fall and a bad combination spin, then he can still beat Chan, even without the PCS inflation as others are saying. I really hope he can skate clean at the Olympics! The only thing I have to shake my head at is the way he acted after his program was finished. A little dramatic for my tastes...
Chan- beautiful program to Four Seasons. Still room for improvement too though in time for the Olympic Games. He didn't seem to happy with it, though he skated clean pretty clean. Maybe because he knew he had 13 points to make up?
Oda- woohoo! He was so happy to be on the podium, and he set himself up well for the Olympics! Happy for him
Machida- This is my favorite Fire Bird program that any skater has ever skated to. Very artistic and pays attention to detail. Great skate for him too

Vibrant colors, lavish textures, and visual depth are the hallmarks of my work. My inspiration lies in the natural world that surrounds me and can run the gamut from ocean waves breaking on a seashore to irrigation patterns seen from an airplane window to the warmth of the summer sun shining on my head. These visions are the starting point; I work in abstract images and impressions and seldom does a literal representation appear in my work.
My medium is fabric and thread. With this very versatile resource I can achieve the colors and textures that appeal to me so much. Starting with ordinary white fabric, I work with multiple surface design techniques, which might include dyeing, painting, stamping, and screen printing. Layer upon layer of color is added to each fabric. I love the process of mark-making on my own fabrics. I am now ready to cut the fabrics into pieces and reassemble them into a composition. Then, using the time honored technique of quilt makers, I create a fabric sandwich with top, batting, and backing. The thread and stitching that holds this sandwich together form another layer of color, texture, and depth. From a distance my work often resembles a painting; but as the viewer approaches, the stitching detail beckons and invites even closer inspection. The possibilities inherent in these little surprises are what delight me the most about the fabric medium.

Examining how school physical activity policies and food policy environments affect student outcomes of body mass index (BMI) and obesity
The Foundation's Active Living Research program was designed to support investigator-initiated research to identify and assess structural, environmental, and policy changes with the potential to increase population levels of physical activity.This grant provides supplemental funds for a study originally funded by the Foundation's Healthy Eating Research (HER) program in its Round 1 funding focusing on school food policy environments and policies that are most likely to affect students' diet and obesity in a national sample. This HER supplemental grant will add to the HER Round 1 grant by including school physical activity policies on student outcomes of BMI and obesity. Data on school physical activity policies will come from a variety of state and local physical activity policies. Potential physical activity measures will be coded to all for comparisons with school nutrition policies being studied in the HER Round 1 grant.

Report: NFL committee says David Bakhtiari violated concussion protocol
Green Bay --- So this is another twist in the NFL's everlasting questionable handling of concussions. In this case, the league has put the onus on the player.
According to the Associated Press, Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari re-entered Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers with a concussion. Two players violated league concussion protocol last weekend, according to a letter sent by the NFL's head, neck and spine committee to all NFL team doctors and trainers, the AP reports.
The other player is New Orleans Saints cornerback Keenan Lewis.
Bakhtiari went into the game for an extra point attempt despite being diagnosed with a concussion and not being cleared. In the letter, the NFL's committee essentially blames the tackle himself, saying it finds "no fault" in the medical staffs.
"On two occasions last weekend, and contrary to the advice of the team medical staffs, players who had been diagnosed with a concussion and therefore declared ineligible for play nonetheless refused to leave the sidelines as required by league concussion protocols," the letter said in the report. "In one case, the player went back onto the field for one play before being removed from the game.
"We emphasize that we find no fault in how the team medical staffs conducted themselves last weekend. If a player refuses to follow your advice and leave the sidelines after being diagnosed with a concussion, we recommend that the head athletic trainer seek assistance from the player's position coach (or another member of the coaching staff) or from another team official to remove the player from the sidelines as soon as possible."
Players who suffer concussions must be examined in the locker room or another quiet location.
Lewis reportedly refused to leave the sideline but did not re-enter his team's game against Philadelphia. Neither player or team has been fined.

Restaurant review: Novu in Wayne
The new Novu Restaurant in Wayne isn't out to break ground. Its elegant beige-and-white dining room, polite wait staff and familiar fine-dining staples such as Chilean sea bass and rack of lamb provide a pleasant predictability that is at once this restaurant's greatest asset and its biggest liability.
Photos: Novu in Wayne
Those who appreciate quality ingredients prepared simply and mildly flavored should enjoy themselves. Those who find most restaurant food too salty for their taste should make a reservation right now. But those looking for creative fare or big, bold flavors may find Novu unmemorable, even boring.
Not many chefs declare that they are opening their own restaurant so that they can have more time to spend with their family. But that was precisely the goal of Tony Dumani, 60, who spent 16 years as executive chef of the River Palm Terrace in Mahwah, known for its dry-aged steaks. The Macedonia native who grew up in Rome says his typical workday at the River Palm began at 8 a.m. and ended around 10 p.m. But at Novu — which does not serve lunch — he arrives around 3 p.m. and works what he considers a leisurely seven hours in the kitchen, while his wife and restaurant co-owner, Kathy, warmly greets customers in the 110-seat dining room.
On a recent weekday, we arrived at the Wedgewood Mall strip mall to find the dining room hopping: At one point, only one table sat vacant. A big private party was taking place in an alcove that is set apart from the main dining room but provides no separation from the noise. When full, the restaurant was hectic and servers stretched; we took to nabbing one when we could.
The menu says Novu's lightly breaded, tender squid rings are tossed in a "mild sauce." Our waiter called the dish "spicy." I found it somewhere in between – just zippy enough to be perfect ($12). It is no surprise, given Dumani's background, that my two other favorite dishes were meat: a bone-in filet mignon that brought back memories of steaks from his River Palm kitchen ($39) and a rack of lamb with a refreshingly pungent mustard-pistachio crust and a remarkable flavor that reminded me of a good aged steak ($39).
Take note: The filet is prime — the highest quality grade, based on marbling and flavor, and a step above what you'll find in many restaurants. The lamb, which is from Colorado, is generally regarded as richer and more tender than the same meat from New Zealand or Australia. Dumani is serious about using quality ingredients.
Another example: the "crabby mac" Novu-style, a $10 side dish, which entwined so much jumbo lump crab in the creamy pasta that I actually preferred it to Novu's Maryland crab cake ($9).
A Chilean sea bass dish was successful largely because of its colorful and flavorful bed of shiitake mushrooms, endive, scallions and heirloom cherry tomatoes ($32). But we found our table salt shaker essential in other parts of the meal — namely, the bland veal limone ($24), the dull pasta with broccoli rabe and jumbo shrimp ($26) and the mussels and overcooked clams in a flavorless cherry tomato broth ($32).
Even the crème brûlée ($7) was bland – a little more vanilla would have gone a long way – and the "apple tower" ($8) paired a lot of pastry with a meager amount of apples. The more balanced Key lime pie ($7) is my pick for the dessert that may lure you back.

This post comes to courtesy of Arjan Tupan. Arjan loves to learn about new things, and spends much of his spare time diving into the world of MOOCs. He's a nomadic European, an amateur poet, and also likes to run, read, blog and figure out this thing called parenthood. He loves to have a conversation with you on MOOCs and much more via Twitter. About.me reveals more about him.
You can never recreate or replace the accelerated learning effect of being able to interact with your teacher and fellow students in person - in physical proximity. At least, this is an argument that is often used by those who are not big fans of MOOCs (massive open online courses). The last time I saw it was in an article about the Intelligence Squared debate at Columbia University on the question: 'bricks or clicks?' But, in our connected world, does that really hold up? Do we really need to be in the same room as our teacher to learn more than just the presented knowledge? I don't think so. It helps to be able to connect with fellow students and the teaching staff, but there are many ways to do this. In the world of MOOCs, it's not limited to the bricks of the university real estate. Here are four ways to connect with students in other places than a campus.
Join the conversation
Sure, by just watching the lecture videos, maybe taking in some of the readings and then doing some of the quizzes, you'll learn a lot from MOOCs. But the fun and learning really starts when you dive into the conversation on the discussion forums. This is where you can meet your fellow students, exchange ideas, help each other and maybe even share or find links to resources to learn more about the subject. It's also a great place to test your ideas for a peer-reviewed assignment, if the MOOC you're taking has them. On top of all that, it's probably the best place to ask your questions to the teaching staff. Even though the sheer number of forum posts usually means that the lead instructor cannot participate in all threads, they do show up in the forums.
Pro tip: Be nice. No one likes unfriendly, grumpy or mean people, especially not on discussion forums. Being unkind will distract people from the topic, and will focus them on getting back at you. When in doubt about your words, just ask yourself "what would my mother think of this?"
Go social
For every MOOC I've been in, there was a Facebook (or LinkedIn) group. Sometimes they're started by the teaching staff, sometimes they're a student's initiative. In both cases, this is another place to hang out with fellow students and sometimes teachers and staff. Often, the conversations in the Facebook groups go a bit broader and further than the discussion forums of the MOOC, plus, they will still be there after the MOOC is closed or restarted. An added bonus: if a MOOC is rerun, new students will join, with a fresh view on the topic. Students you can help, and/or learn from. So, look out for the groups on Facebook or LinkedIn, especially when they are mentioned in update posts from the course organizers.
Pro tip: If there is no Facebook group yet, create one, and post the link on the discussion forum.
Follow the leader
Twitter has an amazing ability to flatten the world. Someone who normally seems out of reach, like a MOOC professor, is just a mention away. Many MOOC teachers have Twitter accounts, some of them even tweet themselves, and some are even active tweeters. They all are worth following, and you can always try to ask them a question there. Don't always expect an answer, but you might be lucky and really connect.
Any self-respecting MOOC has a dedicated hashtag on Twitter. If you use a Twitter client, create a stream or column to follow that hashtag. You might find great links for further learning, or great fellow students to connect with.
Pro tip: to keep in touch with teachers after the course, why not write a Mooctivity review of their MOOC and share the link in a tweet mentioning the teacher.
Go local
Maybe the best way to really get a campus feeling, is to find a study group near you. In every single MOOC I have been in, one of the earliest threads or sub-forums is about study groups organizing local meetups. In some locations, learning hubs have been set up: meeting places dedicated to taking MOOCs together.
Pro tip: create a map on which people can indicate where they are located. This is not just a fun exercise, but also makes it easy to see where clusters of fellow students are. You can, for example, use Zeemaps for this.
As you can see, there are many ways to connect with students and teachers outside the boundaries of the campus grounds. In other words: the world is your campus. Enjoy it.
If you have found other ways, or have great tips to maximize peer-powered learning, let me know on Twitter.

If you judge in the CoP, a Fall shows bad skating skills, and it disrupts the program. The minus one penalty is not enough to cover sloppy skating. It's not that the skater Falls all the time, it's judging the skater on what he does in competition. (Not what he can do last week.)

Daisuke Takahashi
NHK LP (no falls): 8.39

Jeremy Abbott
NHK LP (no falls): 7.79
CoR LP (two falls): 7.89
Denis Ten
NHK LP (three falls): 6.25
Skate America LP (five falls): 6.43
I could go look up more, but I think that the judges are clearly not incorporating falls on elements in PCS in Skating Skills.
In COP system, each element and component is judged separately. A fall incurs its hefty penalties. Do you think a skater's marks for his spins should be deducted if he has a fall from a jump? Skating Skills is a separatly judged component, just as a spin is.
SS is worth about 10% of the total score and on its own doesn't win a competition. Point differnces among top skaters are usually less than one, factored into less than 2 points in LP. In SC, Chan's SS was 0.18 point over Oda's in the SP and, in the LP where they each had a fall, Chan's SS is 0.58 X 2 = 1.16 over Oda's. The total diference is 1.34 for which Chan has been bashed over for months and likely forever.
I think many people confuse the "Skating" part of Skating Skills as the performance of an entire skating program, as in how a pregram is "skated". Therefore, falls means bad skating, and bad Skating Skills. But it ain't so in scoring a competitive program, or else someone skating an easy program will easily win over a skater with difficult jump content.
Any way, why are you dwelling on one competition from early in the season? Do you still consider Patrick Chan as having poor skating skills? Should PCS be increased proportionately with jump success?
Eta. Good illustration, IPogue! Nothing like facts to spoil myths.

Speaking of Savchenko/Szolkowy, they received an 8.79 in SS even though she stumbled out of a SBS, yes they got no credit for it but she stood there for 15 seconds like a deer in headlights. Good skating skills? Also at the GPF they received 8.57 and they had no mistakes so evidently you can stand around for at least 15 seconds of a program and the judges consider that good skating skills, even though you are nor even skating . I guess more skaters should do that
Not listed by IPogue, Chan's PCS, however, do seem to reflect his numbers of falls in his LP:
81.30 COR (3 falls)
84.14 SC (1 fall)
87.22 GPF (no fall)
In contrast to other skaters, Chan is the exception whose PCS suffer from his falls.

mousepotato, I'm sorrry that a point I was making in my previous post was rather easy to interpret differently from intended, which I have gone back to clarify before your response. My question about whether a spin should be penalized when a skater had fallen pertained to a fall from a jump, a seperate element, not a fall from the spin itself. The point is about seperate judging and assassment of each element or component of the program performed.
mousepotatot, where should they marked down? In which bullet? Because if it affects none of the bullets posted, then what you are suggesting is that judges make up new rules to follow while judging.
I believe the CoP is there to protect skaters, and Falls are a wrist slap. They have bundled up all the discrepancies both Tech and PC into a minus one (-1) deduction, and ignored the affect Falls have on the Program. And for Tech, there is more credit if a skater Falls, than if he does not Fall on an underrotation. So much for a sloppy sport, imo.

- "Crush, Tear, and Curl, a machine-based process which macerates the leaves by pressing through counter-rotating rollers to create a stronger, more coloury tea."
The traditional Indian processing method is referred to as orthodox. Most CTC teas are considered inferior to orthodox processing, but they can sometimes be quite good. I think CTC caught on so well in India, because most Indians make their Assam into Chai, a concoction that does not require high quality tea, but does benefit from strength and color.

Smoke from wildfires blankets northern Minnesota
KARLSTAD, Minn. (AP) — Evacuees were allowed to return home Wednesday in Karlstad after firefighters stopped a rapidly advancing wildfire from engulfing the small northwestern Minnesota town, but smoke from several fires in the area was causing concern for other residents as it blanketed a large part of northern Minnesota.
Updated figures show the wildfire destroyed seven mobile homes, four regular homes, two garages and 22 other structures in the Karlstad area Tuesday, said Jean Goad, a spokeswoman for the Minnesota Interagency Fire Center.
The smoke was being carried as far as 200 miles away by strong winds out of the northwest and was trapped close to the ground by a temperature inversion, Goad said. The inversion was expected to lift and bring some relief Wednesday afternoon, she said.
"But folks in northern Minnesota are going to see smoke for a few days because there's so much peat burning up here," Goad said.
Residents in the Bemidji, Deer River, Grand Rapids, Orr, Cook, Virginia, Hibbing and Tower areas — as well as Fort Frances, Ontario — were among those who reported seeing smoke and expressed their concern to local authorities, Goad said.
About 180 miles east of Karlstad, Hibbing Fire Chief Scott Nehiba said his department had received upward of 30 calls by 11 a.m. Wednesday and had to check them all out to make sure they weren't false alarms.
"They are calling in house fires," Nehiba told the Hibbing Daily Tribune. "People smell smoke and think the house next to them is burning."
Bruce Roed, fire service specialist with the State Fire Marshal Division, said the wildfire that nearly surrounded Karlstad was 95 percent contained by Wednesday morning and had not grown since Tuesday night. About 400 people returned to their homes, he said. The fire burned about 12 square miles to the south, east and west of the city of about 750 people after it flared up Tuesday afternoon, but there were no injuries.
Authorities evacuated 69 residents of Karlstad's nursing home and assisted living center. They also evacuated the city's K-12 school as the fire blanketed the community in thick smoke Tuesday afternoon.
It was one of eight fires in northwestern Minnesota aggravated by extremely dry vegetation, low humidity and high winds Tuesday. The area has been in drought most of the year.
The fire danger remains extreme to very high across much of Minnesota, and red flag warnings were out for the southwestern part of the state. Anyone who witnesses an actual fire should report it immediately by calling 911, Goad said.
Fire departments from all over the surrounding area sent crews to help, and Goad said the Michigan Department of Natural Resources sent engines that took the night shift.
The Minnesota National Guard was expected to send a third Blackhawk helicopter Wednesday to join two Blackhawks and one Chinook helicopter already deployed on fire duty, Goad said. The big military helicopters have been helpful because conditions were too windy for smaller aircraft, she said.
Fire managers planned to fly over the area with infrared equipment to detect any remaining hot spots, she said.
The weather turned considerably colder Wednesday. The local forecast called for rain starting in the afternoon, changing over to snow early Thursday with accumulations of up to 7 inches. Winds were expected to be gusty Wednesday but not as high as Tuesday.
That will give firefighters "a little bit of a reprieve," Goad said, but it won't add up to much moisture to recharge the soils in northwestern Minnesota, which she said is 12 to 15 inches behind on precipitation.

I don't think the skaters feel the same way so many fans seem to. Why would they?
Firstly, getting the largest possible number of next Worlds entries for US skaters is not emphasized or even considered as the goal and the criteria of the selection process of skaters to send to Worlds.
Secondly, unlike the Canadian and Japanese skaters, team concept has never come across as an important or natural concept to the US skaters, who are often bitter rivals.
From where would a skater get the idea of team spirit and self denial after all the hard work and intense competitions to be where they are? Their motivation, obligations, and considerations are naturally based on their supporters and sponsors, such as families, financial backers, their coaches, and fans. Their journey, hard work, sacrifices and struggles are very individual. Their teams are comprised of coaches, therapists, psychologists. etc., and don't include other skaters. Those are their competitors. If the federation is more involved and plays a bigger part in their development, and the training procedure involve more interactions with other skaters, they may feel more differently. As it is, any friendly relationship with other skaters is personal, such as being training mates, especially in different diciplines.
Fan's theorectical principles and expectations are not instilled values and pririorities of the U.S. skaters.

Jezebel's Daughter HTML version
Chapter II.11
The New Year had come.
On the morning of the second of January, Mrs. Wagner (on her way to the office at the
customary hour) was stopped at the lower flight of stairs by Madame Fontaine--evidently
waiting with a purpose.
"Pardon me," said the widow, "I must speak to you."
"These are business hours, madam; I have no time to spare."
Without paying the slightest heed to this reply--impenetrable, in the petrifying despair
that possessed her, to all that looks, tones, and words could say--Madame Fontaine stood
her ground, and obstinately repeated, "I must speak to you."
Mrs. Wagner once more refused. "All that need be said between us has been said," she
answered. "Have you replaced the money?"
"That is what I want to speak about?"
"Have you replaced the money?"
"Don't drive me mad, Mrs. Wagner! As you hope for mercy yourself, at the hour of your
death, show mercy to the miserable woman who implores you to listen to her! Return
with me as far as the drawing-room. At this time of day, nobody will disturb us there.
Give me five minutes!"
Mrs. Wagner looked at her watch.
"I will give you five minutes. And mind, I mean five minutes. Even in trifles, I speak the
They returned up the stairs, Mrs. Wagner leading the way.
There were two doors of entrance to the drawing-room--one, which opened from the
landing, and a smaller door, situated at the farther end of the corridor. This second
entrance communicated with a sort of alcove, in which a piano was placed, and which
was only separated by curtains from the spacious room beyond. Mrs. Wagner entered by
the main door, and paused, standing near the fire-place. Madame Fontaine, following her,
turned aside to the curtains, and looked through. Having assured herself that no person
was in the recess, she approached the fire-place, and said her first words.
"You told me just now, madam, that you spoke the truth. Does that imply a doubt of the
voluntary confession----?"

RBI eases foreign borrowing limit for infra companies
India's infrastructure companies raise a large chunk of their borrowings from overseas because of attractive rates.
Mumbai: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said on Monday it has relaxed overseas borrowing limits for infrastructure finance companies, a move that will enable companies in the investment-hungry sector to raise funds more easily.
The RBI said infrastructure finance companies will no longer need to seek approval for raising funds overseas equivalent to up to 75 per cent of their owned funds. The limit had been 50 per cent.
India's infrastructure companies raise a large chunk of their borrowings from overseas because of attractive rates.
The RBI also relaxed the hedging requirement for currency risk for these companies to 75 per cent of the exposure, from an earlier limit of 100 per cent.

Gatorade and NFL Films have partnered for the second season of "Everything To Prove," the online series that chronicles the journeys of 11 rookie NFL players trying to make a league where everyone must prove themselves each and every game.
The series begins this week with new episodes posting monthly throughout the season.
This year's cast features the top five picks of the 2012 NFL Draft, including Indianapolis Colts QB
Andrew Luck, Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III, Cleveland Browns RB Trent Richardson, Minnesota Vikings OT Matt Kalil and Jacksonville Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon. The other six athletes are Indianapolis Colts TE Dwayne Allen, Carolina Panthers LB Luke Kuechly, San Diego Chargers LB Melvin Ingram, San Francisco 49ers RB LaMichael James and Houston Texans DE Jared Crick, along with his teammate, K Randy Bullock.
The game of H-O-R-S-E between Robert Griffin III and Trent Richardson took place at API Phoenix when the two players were prepping for the Combine as part of a shoot for the Gatorade and NFL Films "Everything to Prove" online series.
The first episodes of "Everything to Prove" are up and can be found at NFL.com/ETP, but our good friends over at Gatorade sent us this clip of this game of H-O-R-S-E.
Check out RG3's windmill at the end. Not too shabby at all:

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
After we receive the application, we will call you for a phone interview and then schedule a home visit, At the end of the process, we'll recommend several dogs for you to consider for adoption, or hold your approval for the future.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

John Pule is squatting down when I arrive at his studio, working on a canvas with a fine brush. "Just doing the finishing touch," he says, pointing to the tiny sailing ship he has just added to the web of lines and scumble.
"The show is about oceans, what happens with the ocean, what we do with it, and how we use it and get from one place to the other." The larger paintings are at the gallery, and we stand looking at the five smaller works pinned up along the long wall. In the centre of each is a dark area, a mass of poured enamel and varnish.
"Is that Niue?" I ask, thinking the shape looks like the uplifted coral rock Pule left in 1964, when he was two.
"No, it's not. I have thought of doing things like that in the shape of islands, but not this show," says Pule.
Oh well, interpretation is a strange thing. An inked lattice of crosses could reference Allan Maddox's paintings, but in Pule's hands it's more likely to be a nod to the repetitive patterning of tapa cloth or its Niue variant, hiapo.
"Keep talking because I've got to put a title on this last one," says Pule, grabbing his ink and fine brush again."I've got a book of titles. I spend a bit of time trying to figure out titles because they're very important. They've got to be full of poetry. You've got to entice people into the work so they can look at the title and compare it to the work."
Pule was a poet first, or it was in that context I first heard of him some time in the mid-1980s, this guy from Otara who was writing epic love poems full of lush imagery and self-publishing them.
He's also had a couple of novels published, brutal and beautiful pieces of Pacific magic realism. He talks of wanting to take a year off to finish the third, but poetry and poetic prose can't feed the family the way painting can.
Meanwhile he devours books, as piles stacked around the studio testify. He lists what's going into the show.
"I was reading Nicholas Thomas' Discoveries (a telling of Captain Cook's voyages by the Australian academic who collaborated with Pule on a book about hiapo) and Anne Salmond's Trial of the Cannibal Dog.
"I was also looking at William Hodges' paintings (the artist on Cook's second voyage) and Bernard Smith's European Visions of the South Pacific. I'm seeing how the Europeans depicted indigenous local people and tried to negotiate with them as if they were from another age, another world, which in a way they were.
"Then all these creatures and all this strangeness about them. I looked at the plant collections in the paintings and the way they created a very strange and beautiful world." Pule took from his researches the licence to add extraordinary details to his hiapo frameworks: birds, strange sea creatures, sharks, whales, plants and angels. Angels? Something to do with the missionary position, say Pule.
"There was a lot of f***ing going on. I use the angel as a metaphor for sexual desire." Of course, that mixture of exoticism and eroticism was what drew Paul Gauguin to the South Seas.
We look at some of his wave forms, white marks flecking the black oceans. "It's not Hokusai's wave. That's a great wave, but I wanted to give it sense of urgency, desire, violence, and I think I've achieved it. Also all these creatures, shipwrecks, and human emotions locked inside the waves along the coastline." Is there self-consciousness about being a Pacific artist, a Niuean artist?
"I live in it. I thought about it a long time ago. In the 80s there were three or four Niueans practising as artists. I don't know where they are now.
"In one sense the pathway was cleared for us by contemporary Maori artists. They created a space that made it easy for us but in another sense we have to deal with the whole issue of living in another country. We are a nation here and do our thing, thinking this is our country," Pule says, and then worries about how it sounds.
I sort of understand him, and let it ride as part of a wider conversation about nationalism and identity which is always evolving, and only a part of the reason people do things.
Gallery dealer John Gow arrives to pick up the paintings. "How dry are these?" "They're fine. Just be careful of this bit here," says Pule, pointing to his sailing ship.
The studio is always a moment of truth for a gallerist. They commit to an artist, get their name out there, and hope they will produce something that pays the gallery's rent and lighting bill and enhances its reputation. And surprises them.
What they can't do is tell the artist what to make. Pule has had a show at Gow Langsford every two years since 1995, so the relationship has been mutually beneficial, keeping both in the game.
We load the car, and Gow heads back into the city. I tell Pule I like some of the painterly aspects about his new work, which haven't been sacrificed for the storytelling. "It's always about storytelling, drawing things that mean something."

Adam McQuaid out for road trip
|11.15.13 at 8:17 pm ET
Bruins coach Claude Julien told reporters Friday that defenseman Adam McQuaid did not travel with the team for its three-game road trip, meaning that in addition to missing Friday's game against the Senators, McQuaid will be out Monday and Tuesday against the Hurricanes and Rangers, respectively.
McQuaid suffered a lower-body injury in his second shift of the Bruins' win over the Maple Leafs last Saturday. He left after grabbing his groin area and did not return. Julien did say Thursday that McQuaid was working out and riding the stationary bike, and McQuaid has been spotted at various points over the last week walking without a limp.
With McQuaid out, Matt Bartkowski will remain in the Bruins' lineup. Bartkowski had a pair of assists in the first period Friday against the Senators, making it his first career multi-point game in the NHL.

why doesn't he change?
Essay by: claudia storm
Status: Finished
Genre: Other
You don't get to pick ones family, but i surely would like to pick mine. I can't make choises for others only for myself and i chose to stay far away from the man i call my father, but unfourtunatley i can save everyone, i can't save mum neighter my grandparents. Sometimes i think that this all happens because of the choises my gransparents and parents made in life, sometimes i have the impression that someone could end up dead because of my father i just hope i'm wrong.
Everything started when i was young my grand grand mother was close to her death and she couldn't give her last breath so she was suffering, my mother went to a priest that could make a ceremon that would relieve her sould and she could die peacefuly. That priest could also see in the future and in the past, we found out so many things that changed us slowly.My father had a drinking problem from about 18 ears old and it got worse with the ears now i can call him a retired police officer and an severe alchoolist.
To end it shortly eighter he dies and everyone is peaceful eighter he straitens himself(don't think that will happen). Everytime we say someting to him he feels guilt but when he drinks it's like a deamon posseses him he can't stop himself . I would send him to a psich. but he won't go. Sometimes i belive he has a bipolar disorder, sometimes i think he is mad somethimes i'd wish i could make him stop by overpowering him. It's hard to try to make something of myself when you have lost the suport of your family and started living in drama. I have to pass an exam to law school,i have to get married, so many plans and when i hear bad news from home my hole concentration goes to hell.
I'm so afraid to become my parents, i allready have panic attacks, rage atacks, depression days all the signs i could be a bad wife and mother, i suicide wouldn't be a sin and i knew what waits for me over the veil i would have done it hoping that my father would steightn himself up but that wouldn't happen, i dare to think he belongs in jail or in an loony house, better than dead right, but the jail will only keep him for about 5 years so he will return home after max 10 year with the total of restriction to visit him house and still cause damage, loony house needs to be payed and the finances are few now, yes complaining complaining, when there are so many other worse cases in the world.
God may condem me for saying this but i would trade my father's life for the life of an inoccent person who would cherish it more then him. He doesn't see what he has beautiful in his life, an ok family, an ok pension, a house, he did not realize his goals but he is alive with a house and some money that's enogh to live.
I could not achieve my gouls in life but i hope i won't end up like him, i'm so afraid of that...

Charming Moms2013-05-20 2 3 Share Tweet
During the month of the flowers, the good weather arrives and we enjoy it with the special day of the best of our families: with our mothers.
My mother is accommodating, calm, and with a big sense of humor. She's always willing to get in front or behind my camera, helps me develop films at home and even takes my films to the lab. I would like to introduce you my mother, María.
Another mother who is very dear to me is my mother-in-law, Pepa, and I'm not sucking up to her, I've been lucky to get one of the "good ones!"
Finally, I would like to talk about the queens of our homes. Grandmothers, who are more than mothers, they are the mothers of mothers! They become even more special the older they get. Wrinkles talk about the dozens of stories they have and they are eager to tell them to the world. Below you can see a picture of one of my grandmothers, Marcelina (on the right side), and Saturnina (left), my grandmother-in-law.

David Fuentes, Department of Music
Do You Hear What I Hear?
Deciphering a Universal Language
Lecture: Tuesday, November 12, 2013
4:00 pm CFAC Recital Hall
(refreshments will be served)
About the lecture: Why is it that we understand music intuitively, yet we're lost for words when trying to describe its effect on us? While the language of music is a mystery to many, composers and advertisers know how to use it to affect concert goers, consumers, and congregants in predictable ways. Want a glimpse into their bag of secrets? Professor Fuentes will explain how paying attention to a few simple connections can open the way to a better understanding of how music "speaks" about matters that matter to us all, such as the nature of courage, the certainty of joy, and what it feels like to be in love.
|Brief Bio: David Fuentes is Professor of Composition and Theory
at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he composes concert and liturgical music for chamber ensembles, solo instruments, orchestra and chorus. He also writes music for film, dance, television, theater and
integrative collaborations with visual artists, here and abroad.
Fuentes lectures on contemporary composers, film music, music and faith, and music vocation, and the place of music in human flourishing. He is currently working on Ears To Hear, a book which looks at ways in which people throughout human history have considered music spiritual and demonstrates how Christians might use these to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit. As part of that project, he received a McGregor grant to work with a student researcher on a project titled, "Exploring the Role of Music in Identity, Sports, and Faith Formation."
Fuentes earned a Ph.D. in music, music composition and theory from Brandeis University in 1988; a master of music in composition from the University of Iowa in 1983; and a bachelor of music from Roosevelt University in 1981. For more information, please visit his web page.

Consumers Spend $330 million on pet costumes
Traditionally an occasion to wear a costume and live the fantasy of being a superhero, monster or pop-culture icon, Halloween is increasingly a time to put on the dog. Or put one on the dog.
According to the Denver Post, The National Retail Federation says Americans will spend $330 million on pet costumes this year.
That is just a small fraction of the $6.9 billion consumers will spend on candy, costumes and decor.
The owner of a pet boutique in Larimer Square in Denver jokingly said dogs are the new children. This time of year, he stocks up on costumes such as monkey, lions and turtles.

By Lake County Captains | April 26, 2014 10:50 PM ET
(South Bend, IN)- B.J. Lopez singled home George Roberts in the bottom of the sixth inning and the Silver Hawks went on to beat Lake County 6-4. At the time the single made it 5-2. South Bend clinched the three game series with the win. Lake County has dropped their eighth straight ballgame. The Captains are 1-10 on the road.
The Silver Hawks (14-8) scored two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to take the 2-0 lead. Joe Munoz singled home a run and the other run scored on a ground out. Lake County halfed the lead in the top of the fifth inning when Anthony Santander singled home Grant Fink and the score was 2-1.

Corbett signals acceptance of hotel tax enabling legislation
After its long slog to his desk ended late last week, Gov. Tom Corbett plans to sign House Bill 1588 allowing Adams County to raise its hotel room tax from 3 percent to 5 percent, spokeswoman Kelli Roberts said.
Legislation of this nature does not directly raise taxes but effectively gives a county the authority to increase a local levy assessed when visitors pay for a hotel rooms within its boundaries.
There were some questions and ambiguity last year whether Corbett would go for such proposals considering his general stance against raising taxes.
The governor is signing off because the law would enable local authorities to make the change themselves to provide money specifically for the given community and its tourism industry, Roberts said.
State Rep. Dan Moul, R-Adams County, proposed the bill in May 2011 after his first effort ran out of time during the previous two-year legislative cycle.
He said he is happy the bill has gotten to the finish line with the help of lawmakers backing hotel tax legislation for counties they represent.
"Elated is probably the more accurate word," Moul said.
The 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg is approaching, so Adams County needs the additional promotional and support resources created by added tax revenue to fully leverage the milestone, he said.
Significantly diminished state support in recent years is a primary reason why county tourism stakeholders, including Moul, have sought permission for local officials to raise their respective taxes.
Elsewhere in the midstate, similar legislation has been proposed for York County to raise its tax to fund tourism promotion efforts.
House Bill 2239, proposed by state Rep. Ron Miller, R-York County, has remained in committee since he proposed it in March, according to the state's legislative website.
In addition, there is talk of raising the levy in Lancaster County as stakeholders seek funding solutions for the downtown convention center in Lancaster.

Last week Google+ announced its acquisition of Fridge, a social network, for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition is said to help in making Google+ more symmetric. And now, they've just announced another acquisition.
PittPatt, or Pittsburgh Pattern Recognition, a facial recognition software company, has been acquired by Google. The acquisition is likely a technology buy to be applied to Google Apps, including Google+ and YouTube, as well as Images. Mobile is probably an important area of integration as well, as this is another area Google's spent resources on image recognition technology and use cases.
PittPatt posted on their site that "joining Google is the next thrilling step in a journey that began with research at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute in the 1990s and continued with the launching of Pittsburgh Pattern Recognition (PittPatt) in 2004.
"We've worked hard to advance the research and technology in many important ways and have seen our technology come to life in some very interesting products. At Google, computer vision technology is already at the core of many existing products (such as Image Search, YouTube, Picasa, and Goggles), so it's a natural fit to join Google and bring the benefits of our research and technology to a wider audience. We will continue to tap the potential of computer vision in applications that range from simple photo organization to complex video and mobile applications.
But the facial recognition has already raised security and privacy issues when applied to large scale social networks, like when Facebook launched their facial recognition in their Photos app. The feature, which Facebook users thought was helping them tag their friend in photos, was being used by Facebook to create an online image profile database to automate online identification. This concerned users, as the facial recognition, when rolled-out, was set by default to all Facebook users (a tactic often used for new Facebook product roll outs). Facebook fights their detractors by saying that no user has reported any issues with the facial recognition, and they are actually enjoying it. But many users aren't aware that they're using the facial recognition to create a database.
As for PittPatt on Google, the facial recognition will reportedly be used for "practical applications" of the technology, including measuring the effectiveness of digital signage, advertising, kiosks and narrowcasting, customer traffic flow, or gathering insight into customer behavior and shopping patterns. In some ways it can even aid in security-related matters, such as being able to send alerts when the PittPatt software detects a face that isn't in its database (Big Brother, anyone?).
Google seems to be moving into talent and technology acquisitions, purchasing companies that will enhance their features and services to make them more competitive in the market. The convergence of these companies will create an awesome output, but sometimes, too much talent rolled into one can also lead to a disaster. Google hasn't flourished with all its talent buys, but it does signal to the market that something bigger is going on here. Active participation from the big boys is highly encouraging of an innovative startup market.
As for Google's fast-rising social network, Google+ continues to modify and update according to profile types, private interactions and marketing potential. Google+ is still being strict with user names; they want users to create profiles using their real and legitimate names. There's really nothing wrong with that, but some people are thinking that Google is becoming a hindrance to their freedom to express. Some people express themselves with the names they use on social networks, so this move can lead to members leaving the network. Google's also appealing to business users with the inclusion of analytics for the upcoming business profiles, building in the tools they'll need to run certain types of campaigns within the Google+ network.

Skateboarding was born out of surfing – or the lack of it. And this mini cruiser of mine is an absolute source of stoke whenever I couldn't go out for a weekend surf. That's why I've been hitting concrete almost every other day. Totally addicting. I mean I'm no awesome skate/longboarder but yeah. It's great. Cruisin', a bit of noseridin' – simple joys man.
So one night surfer/skater Nicky boy, his friend Brix and yours truly met at the Fort to skate and we were messing around and was tripping on Brix's Ipod. The video below wasn't really intended to be an actual skate video but just a collection of each other's ride but we were totally stoked on it so I gave it a shot to edit the videos. Below is the result. Hope you guys like it. Haha.

I've used this to pin water bottles, thermoses, and gym bags to the brass ring attaching the strap to my messenger bag. Taking the bus into work over a year with this strapped on, it's exactly as expected with minimal loss of paint through the friction and no evidence of compromise to the structural integrity.

The weather has been glorious, but expect the market to be indoors for two more weeks. The acoustics are great for our weekly music, so we're still enjoying the indoor market. On May Day we move outside to City Park. 'Til the end of April, Willits Farmers Market is at Little Lake Grange, 291 School Street, just a block from downtown from 3 to 5:30 pm.
Spring has brought lots of greens to market, but it's still best to come early to get your pick. As the summer season starts, there will be more and more on offer so you can think of Farmers Market as a one-stop shop for groceries. The John Ford Ranch is on hand every week with specials on John's local, grass-fed beef. Mike Taaning brings his sister's sausage, pork, lamb, and eggs from Inland Ranch. Lately he's had asparagus, too.
Prepared foods are popular at market any time of the year. Robert Goleman has gourmet frozen dinners, luscious desserts, and this week, thinking of Easter, chocolates of all sorts. Amanda Fairall brings pepper jellies and creative jams and every week prepares a hot dish to eat on the spot or take home for dinner. Amanda will take this week off, but she'll be back next week.
Roland's Bakery has also been a regular at winter market, with the best bagels west of New Jersey, breads and pastries of all sorts. Michelle Costa and Sarah Archer each bring their own specialty fermented sauerkraut and kim chi, and Michelle has kvass for the adventurous. Stop and talk to each of them, learn about the advantages of fermented foods, and try a taste.
Newcomer Caprice Becker from Laytonville has spices galore and spice mixes made with Caprice's own recipes. And Denise Bartolomei brings flavored vinegars and olive oils most every week.
And don't forget the crafts. Valerie Trimmer is a regular, with knit caps for all ages, gloves and scarves. Tara Plotkin brings her dolls and toys for the younger set every month. Arabella's and Dancing Madrone Soap Company are each on hand once a month with hand-crafted soaps made from natural ingredients. And Maya Youngstrom has been bringing hand-decorated T-shirts and fanciful jewelry every few weeks.
Spring brings lots of eggs as ever busy hens think about taking a break and hatching a clutch of chicks. What to do with all those eggs? Here are some ideas.
If you're planning on decorating eggs for Easter, you should know that the super-fresh, free-range eggs you get at market probably aren't going to work out for boiled eggs. That is, if you intend to eat your creations. That's because the shells tend to stick to the whites on fresh eggs. If you want to boil and decorate eggs, you'll need to buy the older, supermarket version.
On the other hand, you could "blow" eggs ? empty them of yolk and white through a little hole in the tip. This is the way the fancy painted Ukrainian eggs you've seen are made. They're much more delicate, of course, but they can be kept forever with care. But what do you do with all the yolk and white?
A souffl? comes to mind. I had never been able to make one until I started using fresh, free-range eggs. If you compare naturally raised eggs with the factory farm variety, you can see why. Crack one of each and you'll see that the eggs from chickens allowed to roam, fed table scraps and good grains literally stand up on the plate. The yolks are firmer, richer; the whites don't spread but hold together. That's what you need for a good souffl?, or meringue, or even an omelet.
Here's my favorite souffl? recipe from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone.
Giant Cheddar Souffl?
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
5 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons flour
2 cups warm milk
6 egg yolks
1 ? cups Cheddar cheese
? teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika or ground red chili
10 egg whites
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 12-cup gratin dish or deep casserole and dust with Parmesan.
Melt the 5 tablespoons butter in a saucepan, whisk in the flour and cook over low heat for several minutes. The flour will thicken and bubble. All at once add the warm milk and continue whisking for a minute or two, making sure there are no lumps. When the mixture begins to thicken, take off heat and beat in the yolks, 2 at a time. Stir in the cheese. Season with salt and paprika.
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they hold firm peaks. Fold into yolk mixture trying to coat all of the whites with yolk without deflating them too much. Pour the mixture into the casserole. Put in the oven and bake at 375 for at least 30 minutes, until the souffle is browned on top, firm when you gently shake it, and risen. It will get quite high. Serve immediately. The souffle will deflate fairly quickly after removing from the oven, so put it on the table at its most spectacular.
Willits Farmers Market accepts EBT cards. EBT cardholders should see us at the Green Uprising stall to swipe your cards and receive tokens for use at market.
Michael Foley, Sara Grusky and friends run Green Uprising Farm in Willits. Michael is market manager at the Farmers Market. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Very few bands have blended rap rock and nu metal so successfully and deftly as Linkin Park. The Grammy Award-winning band broke onto the scene with their unique sound with the release of Hybrid Theory in 2000. Since that time, Linkin Park has released three more studio albums, played numerous sold-out concert dates, and won countless awards. Linkin Park's latest album, the 2010 A Thousand Suns, marks the second record with producer Rick Rubin and the first concept album by the band. After eleven years of stardom, Linkin Park is continuing its seemingly never-ending success with twenty-two international tour dates in 2011.
Originally called Xero and Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park was signed to Warner Bros. in 1999 after vice-president Jeff Blue included their signing in his employment contract. A year later Linkin Park released their debut album, Hybrid Theory, which launched them into super stardom. Almost unheard of for a debut album, Hybrid Theory reached #2 on the Billboard 200 and the single "Crawling" won a Grammy for Best hard Rock Performance. The successful debut was followed by a number of high-profile concert dates for Linkin Park, including the formation of their own Projekt Revolution tour.
Linkin Park's 2003 album, Meteora, combined the band's rap rock/nu metal sound with a number of obscure, experimental instruments. Critics and fans responded positively as the album shot to #1 on the Billboard charts and eventually went four times platinum. Instead of immediately starting work on a new album after promoting the previous, Linkin Park took a break. While on hiatus, members of the band played tour dates and engaged in various side projects before returning to the studio in 2006. During that time, they also released a successful mashup album with Jay-Z called Collision Course. Minutes to Midnight was released in 2007 and, despite even further experimentation away from nu metal, the album experienced similar success as the band's previous record.
Linkin Park's latest album, A Thousand Suns, is a concept album revolving around fears experienced by human beings in a modern technological society. However, it's technology that helps make Linkin Park concert dates so spectacular, including upcoming tour dates in 2011. Tour dates begin on June 4 in Irvine, California, at KROQ's annual Weenie Roast. Following a tour date in Mountain View the following day, Linkin Park will head to Europe to play concert dates beginning June 12. Linkin Park will perform a number of shows in Europe (particularly Germany), before heading to Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore. 2011 tour dates for Linkin Park will end on September 25 at the Singtel Singapore Grand Prix, so fans (especially in Asia), should buy tickets on Eventful asap.

(STRANGFORD LOUGH, Ireland) — At least 10 people were injured Monday when stormy weather struck an international boating event in Northern Ireland, causing boats to capsize.
The Belfast Coastguard was first contacted before 2 p.m. local time to alert authorities about the strong winds and capsized vessels in Strangford Lough, officials said in a release. Bangor and Portaferry rescue teams, the Irish Coastguard and the RAF Valley also responded to the scene.
Authorities believe all those in the water have been accounted for, but continue to search the area to be sure. Most of the injured who were treated on the scene showed signs of hypothermia.
The GP14 world championship is one of Northern Ireland's largest events for single class twin crew dinghies. According to BBC News, more than 200 competitors come from as far as Australia to participate.

Police seek help identifying robbery suspect
Police seek help identifying robbery suspect
Police are asking for the public's assistance in identifying a suspect in a reported robbery that occurred over the weekend in Puna.
On Sunday, police received a report from a 60-year-old Volcano woman that at about 6 p.m. the previous day, she offered a ride to a male acquaintance to assist him with his disabled vehicle. Instead of driving to the location of the vehicle, the male suspect apparently drove to another location in Mountain View, where the driver was assaulted and pushed out of the vehicle by the suspect who stole her vehicle, according to the Hawaii Police Department.
The suspect was described as a Caucasian man in his early to mid 50s, approximately 6-foot tall, with a medium build, medium tan complexion with long, wavy brown hair just slightly shorter than his shoulders, unknown eye color, no facial hair and no glasses, unknown tattoos, scars and marks. He was last seen wearing jeans and a long sleeve gray button shirt. The suspect may speak with a slight lisp, police said.
The victim sustained injuries from the assault and from falling from the truck. However, she declined treatment, police said.
Area I Criminal Investigation Section detectives are continuing the investigation, which is classified as a second-degree robbery and first-degree unauthorized control of a propelled vehicle.
Anyone with information on the identity of the suspect or may have witnessed this robbery should call Detective Wendell Carter or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com. Those who prefer to remain anonymous may call Crime Stoppers at 961-8300 in Hilo or 329-8181 in Kona and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
