When Corky Hall '71 entered Augsburg College, he knew he could achieve athletic success. But he had no confidence that he could excel in academics, and he didn't see a future for himself outside of sports.
Hall served as captain of both the hockey and football teams at Augsburg, becoming the College's first athlete to be named All-American in hockey. He grew accustomed to compliments when he scored points for the team. Never did he receive compliments about his academic performance.
Growing up, he never received the message that academics were important. His mother and step-father did not graduate from high school, and no one in his family had gone to college. Hall says, "I rarely did homework before entering college."
Saugestad first person ever to tell Hall he was smart
When Hall came to Augsburg, he encountered Ed Saugestad '59 and developed a close friendship with him. Saugestad was a stellar hockey coach, compiling a 503-354-21 record. His team won Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference titles six straight years (1976-82) and won the NAIA national championship in 1978, 1981 and 1982. Saugestad also served on the football coaching staff for Augsburg from 1959-84, including being head coach 1970-71. He taught in the Health and Physical Education department throughout his career, and was men's athletic director from 1981-87. He retired in 1996.
"Ed was the first person to tell me that I was smart," Hall recalls. "He said, 'I know you can succeed academically.' And he kept after me to produce good grades so that I could stay eligible for sports at Augsburg. I can't tell you what a tremendous difference that made."
"I still remember the first time I aced a test," Hall says. "I can see in my mind's eye the chair I was sitting in when Ed handed my test back to me with an 'A' on it. It was in his physiology class, a hard class. I couldn't believe it at the time. Ed just conveyed that he knew I could do it."
Saugestad set Hall on a path that led to business success
This winning coach with a deep concern for his players as student athletes changed Hall's life. "He set me on a path I wouldn't have found otherwise."
With this supportive intervention, Hall pursued success in business. After initially working at General Mills, he created and owned U.S. Communications together with Bill Urseth '71, which grew to become the second-largest promotional marketing agency in the country, U.S. Restaurants and U.S. Studios. He later founded a business and brand consultancy, Hall Batko, and now is founding partner and CEO of Stellus Consulting in Minneapolis. He guides corporate leaders in creating the vision for their company and in building a strong relationship between their brand and customers to achieve that vision.
Corky and Lori Hall recently learned more about plans for the Center for Science, Business, and Religion. Corky believes the building "is a good forward step for Augsburg College. We have always been known for having a great heart and great athletics, yet our buildings have not been visual symbols of our academic strength. This new building will put us in a new league. Our facilities will start to match the quality of the faculty."
The Halls thought about giving to support the CSBR construction, and Corky started to think about naming a space. But whose name to feature? Corky reflected on what transformed his academic life at Augsburg, and Coach Saugestad's name immediately came to mind.
"The building will be key in developing future student athletes," Hall adds. "That is why I am giving to the CSBR rather than to athletics. Augsburg needs great facilities for athletes to develop their academic side. Ed made the bridge for me between athletics and academics, and if I hadn't gotten strong academics at Augsburg, I wouldn't be the person I am today. I want to give a gift that says thank you to Ed for making such a difference in my life."
Hall says Ed also had a positive effect on his brother Dan '74 and his step-brother Mark Hultgren '88. "He impacted our family in a significant way."
Halls give $25,000, invite others to join them so CSBR hallway can be named in honor of Ed Saugestad with gifts totaling $150,000
Corky and Lori pledged $25,000 as a lead gift in naming Saugestad Hall, a hallway outside the physics suite in the CSBR. They hope many other grateful alumni touched by Ed Saugestad will join them in honoring this man.
The naming opportunity cost for the hallway is $150,000. According to Keith Stout, Director of Principal Gifts for Augsburg College: "Ed Saugestad touched the lives of hundreds of students over his 39 years of coaching and teaching. We believe that many people will be interested in helping achieve the goal so that the hallway can be named for Ed."
"I envision a huge plaque showing the names of all those who contribute to the Saugestad Hall, and it will be a testament to the huge effect Coach had on all of us," Hall says.
'Saugestad kindled the fire in me and in many people'
"He is the person who kindled the fire in me, seeing academic potential I hadn't seen yet in myself. He helped me become a more well-rounded person. I think he did that for many, many people."
"Let's work together to honor this great man," Hall says. "He deserves it. Ed did so much to make our lives better. Now it's our turn to say thank you."

Serious problems removing harmonic balancer!
I have the puller rigged up right, when I was using a breaker bar and 4 ft long pipe the crank came up at an angle. I was told wrong that I could untorque the main bolts before pulling the harmonic balancer. I should have followed the book.
What should I do now? The harmonic balancer is on at an angle and the crank ends up about 1/2 inch the above the block. I haven't been able get it straight by hammering the balancer either. I have no idea what to do now. btw this my first time turning a wrench. Any help is much appreciated, John
Where's the timing cover? I can't see why you would need a 4 ft bar to remove a balancer. To you have a rotating cap on your puller?
Try tapping the pistons back down in their bores to get the crank back into position. Reinstall the caps. Get a balancer installation tool and try to get it back straight.
Your description isnt very good Im totally confused. :drunk:
Are you trying to pull the damper off using a jaw type puller or what?
It kind of sounds like you have all the main caps off and torqued on the thing and dislodged the crank from the bearings.
Is the engine on a stand?
All the pistons and rods are out of the engine?
That makes things a lot easier.
The crank is just stuck now because you had caps off and torqued on it.
Its wedged on the thrust I suppose. See if you can turn it back the other way it should fall back into place.
When you get the caps back on there use a 2x4 block of wood between the counterweight and pan rail to keep it from rotating when youre removing the damper.
Use some kind of washer on end of crank snout so it doent get damaged and make sure threads on puller are oiled up good.
I can still spin the crank a little bit, I need a way to get the harmonic balncer in straight. thanks, JOhn
Liquid Wrench is not good enough.
Next thing that will happen is the threads in puller will seize up.
Use oil or grease.
Guess thats just a pet peave of mine.
Get the crank back into its proper position, torque the caps down and verify that the balance is actually cocked...may be just an optical illusion.
If it is cocked, then get it back on right like Bracketeer said.
Block the crank with wood and carefully remove it with the balancer puller. You could add a little heat with a propane torch, just a little though.
I can't get the crank back into the proper positon because of the balancer not being on straight, I'm positive.
What exactly is the balancer interfering with...the timing cover?
I'm not really sure honestly. I don't know how the harmonic balancer is keeping the crank from falling back into place, it doesn't make sense to me.
Bet you wont do it this way ever again.
Everybody messes up when I first started boss came and told me every time you ******* up we take a knuckle then he holds up his hand like he was missing a couple fingers.
Possibly when crank tilted up in back chain side got some slack and timing chain is out of line keepng front side pulled down.
If youre working on a small block Chevy take the puller off and measure how far the end of crank is from edge of damper.
If damper hasnt moved at all will be about 1 inch, if its about 2" watch out for your foot its ready to fall off.
Its 302 ford, it has been pulled off quite a bit, I have no idea how far it goes though.
I don't thing the balancer is holding you up at all. I think by using a 4' breaker bar and having loose caps you have that crank wedged. Try prying on the counterweights (very carefully) in the opposite direction as you cranked on the puller.
Just for a dumb qusetion on my part, but the crank bolts' washer isn't still stuck to the balancer? This is about the only thing I can Think of that would make a balancer need a 4' snipe to remove.

Town Square
MOVIE REVIEW - JULIA vs. JULIA
Original post made by DoUgLaS kEnDaLl, Downtown, on Oct 3, 2009
Last night was Date Night, so I took Mrs. Kendall to the movies, to see a chick-flick. I take the wife to chick-flicks as an act of supreme love. Taking a wife to a chick-flick can also be a supreme act of unrequited love.
I believe we saw something like JULIA vs. JULIA. Last week, we saw THE TIME TRAVELLER'S COOK. The movie this week was about the life a cook starting out in New York City in 2002 and ending up back in time in Paris, France 1948, or something like that.
Or, maybe the movies were the other way around – I've got a little ADD or SUB or something – I can't remember. (The wife says it's everything from ADA to ADZ. Our sophisticated college daughter asserts that I've got all sorts of 4-letter acronyms which I won't even TRY to remember -- or I might accidentally set off a 4-letter F-bomb or two). Whoops, I digress..
Oh, I remember the movie now! Julia Childs is a cook with a weird affliction causing her to instantly travel back in time whenever she accidentally cuts herself while cooking -- the worse the injury the farther back in time. (One awful time, after sampling the cooking wine a little too much, she was trying to debone her first roast pig and cut off her hand completely, sending her 2,000 years back in time where she fortunately met Jesus, who, being a good Jew, rebuked her for cooking pork, put her hand back on, and even cured her left-handedness for free, making her ambidextrous so she could cook two meals at once because He knew that one day she would need to win IRON CHEF in order to save the world. (I think this was a hint there will be a sequel to the movie.)
The movie was a little hard on Republicans. Every time Julia got hurt with a knife, she'd angrily blurt out "NIXON!" and immediately go back in time. And if it was during a Republican presidential administration, she'd knife the Republican President to death, and escape back to the future.
She also kind of did the reverse aging thing (maybe Brad Pitt produced the movie – he likes to do that) and finally wound up as a cute and perky social worker in New York in 2002 with President Gore in the Whitehouse, because by then conservatives like George Bush (technically a 'virtual' conservative) were too afraid to run for the Presidency, the Republican Party being completely outlawed as the essential cause of Global Warming (and of Global Cooling, too, just in case – ohhh, let's just call it 'climate change' to cover all bases and keep that fear money rolling in).

I saw Julia vs Julia (or was it the reverse?)on a recent date night with my wife too. I must have dozed off longer and more often than I thought. I don't remember a quarter of the things you remember from the movie! I do remember it was better than The Informant. That movie put both of us to sleep.

When we arrived in Cagayan I decided to spend the night before heading to Camiguin Island. Klaus was a very good host and took me out to eat some Philippino food which was very tasty and consisted of marinated raw fish (that I probably shouldn't have eaten). He also took me to see a Cock Fight. When we arrived we were told there were no ring side seats left and we were sold two seats in the stand. As soon as we walked in though we were ushered by some of the locals into an air conditioned perspex booth at ringside! I realise that this is a brutal sport but I can tell you that it is still a massive part of the Philippino culture (similar to bullfighting in Spain I suppose). There are actually advertisements for dietary supplements, steroids etc to enhance the performance of your Cock. The Cockfights in Manila are also broadcast nationwide on the TV every Sunday which was a shock to me.... Oh and there are also Roosters absolutely everywhere you go, which can pose a big problem when you are trying to sleep.
I stayed in Cagayan for a second time on my way back from Camiguin Island on advice from Klaus that I should experience the Cagayan night cafe which is on every Friday and Saturday night in Cagayan. This was definitely worth seeing as the whole of the town square was blocked off to vehicles and the streets were covered in markets and plastic chairs and tables. Here you could buy 1 litre bottles of San Miguel beer for next to nothing, feast on BBQ meat and be relentlessly hassled by roaming vendors to buy Peanuts!.
The next night I was back on the overnight ferry to Cebu.

Monsieur de Pourceaugnac HTML version
1ST PHY. He has forced through every obstacle I had placed to hinder him, and has fled
from the remedies I was beginning to prepare for him.
SBRI. To avoid remedies so salutary as yours is to be a great enemy to oneself.
1ST PHY. It is the mark of a disturbed brain and of a depraved reason to be unwilling to
be cured.
SBRI. You would have cured him, for certain, in no time.
1ST PHY. Certainly; though there had been the complication of a dozen diseases.
SBRI. With all that he makes you lose those fifty well-earned pistoles.
1ST PHY. I have no intention of losing them; and I am determined to cure him in spite of
himself. He is bound and engaged to take my remedies; and I will have him seized,
wherever I can find him, as a deserter from physic and an infringer of my prescriptions.
SBRI. You are right. Your medicines were sure of their effect; and it is so much money
he takes from you.
1ST PHY. Where could I find him?
SBRI. No doubt, at the house of that goodman Oronte, whose daughter he comes to
marry; and who, knowing nothing of the infirmity of his future son-in-law, will perhaps
be in a hurry to conclude the marriage.
1ST PHY. I will go and speak to him at once.
SBRI. You should, in justice to yourself.
1ST PHY. He is in need of my consultations; and a patient must not make a fool of his
SBRI. That is well said; and, if I were you, I would not suffer him to marry till you have
physicked him to your heart's content.
1ST PHY. Leave that to me.
SBRI. (aside, and going). For my part, I will bring another battery into play; for the
father-in-law is as much of a dupe as the son-in-law.

Odwiedzamy pałac w Mierzęcinie
Po obiadokolacji w gospodarstwie agroturystycznym Adam wpadł na pomysł aby pojechać i zobaczyć pałac w Mierzęcinie. To około 8 km w linii prostej przez las. Szybko zapakowaliśmy się na motocykle i w drogę.

The big day?
... like other stations in Europe that tell you where your coach is so I ambled along to the front of the platform to where first class would be and then the Thalys train arrived in all its glory. Nice looking trains these and we'll equipped too, but what I noticed the most apart from the large breakfast and endless coffee was how smooth the train was compared with the jolt and rattle of the sleeper from Poznan. Oh if only it was like this I would have slept so ...
Day 40 - Kołobrzeg
To sum up today in one sentence: we didn't do much today. Of course, like writers down the ages, I'll pad it out a bit to keep my loyal readers happy. But the fact remains. If you decide to have a chill out day before starting off back back to the channel ports, by definition not much happens. I felt slightly guilty sitting about doing nothing, but this is a result of having such a busy sightseeing holiday. We both decided that on future expeditions we must allow time ...
Day 39 - Gdansk to Kołobrzeg
... We chose the Pergola, for no other reason that they had a German menu on display and the prices looked reasonable. It turns out they had an English menu too, and the food was outstanding. I had some traditional sausage and egg soup (excellent), followed by pork and asparagus with mushroom sauce (done to perfection). Alison had fish soup (very good) and duck with dumplings, apple, gravy and red cabbage with raisins and spices in a deep fried pastry bowl (the meal ...

Love Love SKINN Line
By Lory
from Kingston, Ontario
I have many of SKINN products including this line. Love it is all I can say. Never going to try another line again. I also love SKINN foundation which is in another line on TSC from SKINN. Looks amazing. Keep up the great work Dimitri. Just one question though, any thoughts on the SPF and UV ratings on products as you don't seem to include this in your products. Please talk about that next time when you come to TSC. There must be a reason you don't add those to your products.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
By Janice
from Kitchener
I purchased the last two SKINN showstoppers and have seen a remarkable change in my skin. I love how the cleaners do not leave my skin feeling tight. I am very please with this line and I am glad that I ordered this showstopper with the auto delivery. A great gift to myself!!!
Fantastic Product!
By Angie
from Newmarket
I have very dry skin and I've tried everything!! Nothing worked until this! My skin feels fantastic after only a few uses and the elasticity is definately improved because my skin is actually hydrated, not stripped!....I don't really wear makeup so the powder to brighten the skin is a terrific finishing touch for me. It goes on easily and isn't flaky or powdery; I also bought the cleansers and they make your skin feel so fresh and revitalized. Lastly the eye cream....even if you don't put it in the fridge it feels cool and refreshing. Get this product ladies!!!! You won't be sorry! I'm sold on this brand!
My new fav - Plasma Finish Bright Veil
By Michele
from BC
I give only 4 stars, as I haven't use the rest of the other products yet. Just received it, and excited about the Bright Veil on its own. Have used the regular and bronze Plasma Finish, and this new one, Bright Veil...is great! Conceals redness and under eye shadows, and is an excellent highlighter without any shimmer. I hope Dimitri and The Shopping Channel keeps this in stock for me to buy, but as a separate item! (the reason for my review) Plasma Finish is my fav Skinn products!
Packaging Problems
By selective shopper
from northern ontario
I have nothing but good things to say about the contents of this latest Skinn kit.. however, like the other reviewer I too experienced a defective pump container of the Huile Vital (the cap was very loose and would not snap on tightly). Luckily, I still had an old container of this serum so before disposing of this first container .. I tried the cap on the latest and was able to substitute the two. Dimitri.. I love your products.. but please find a way to ensure that we don't lose the contents of our products in transit to our homes.
damaged - bad packing
By Cat
from Nova Scotia
My star rating is for Skinn in general but I have not used this enough yet to review the product but my package arrived and the hydro deep moisture treatment was cracked and product was leaking. I have taped it up with packing tape and not lost too much. if that does not work I will have to transfer to another container which will not have the useful pump top. While I applaud less packaging it has to allow what we paid for to get to us intact.

There has been a lot written about happiness in the workplace recently - what it does for efficiencies, productivity, staff retention and loyalty. So I am not being entirely altruistic. I think if I succeed in creating a happy company I will probably deliver against the 'harder' objectives I get set every year far more easily.
Ego enables us to see shortcomings and weaknesses in others, but not in ourselves. And when we do see our weaknesses, ego hides them and claims to the world that we have none. How do you know when your ego is at work? If you feel insulted, if a criticism hurts, if you get defensive, lose confidence.... it's your ego reacting!
Pietersen is arguably the most talented English player of the modern era. Simply by looking at his statistics it's clear to see that he was on the way to smashing the record book and becoming an England legend. However, look past the statistics and some would say you'd find an enigmatic talent, unwilling to adapt his game or listen to authority.
Forced-ranking of employees means that all the employees within an organisation are compared or ranked against one another in order of performance. Then, using the statistical bell-curve specific numbers of employees are placed in categories ranging from: exceeds all expectations; exceeds expectations; meets expectations; partly meets expectations; fails to meet expectations.
Whilst virtual team working suited everybody better in terms of the work/life balance we did not the mechanisms in place to work together virtually - we lost our mojo. During this time some of our best people left and I ended up buying out my business partner, our sense of connection, shared purpose and ability to address issues as a team had faded.

New training for Sullivan County fire departments
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - The Sullivan County fire departments have a new way to get real-life training.
On Monday the departments showed the Sullivan County Commission exactly how their new "fire trailer" will improve their training.
Sullivan West Fire Chief Drew Deakins says the trailer has several rooms and a garage inside it, giving fire fighters different training that's important for real-life experiences. "A lot of times when you're in a smoke-filled environment like a house, it can be confusing. This allows them to kind of come up with some good rules and methods when they're searching for a victim so they're practicing here as opposed to a real thing," adds Deakins.
The trailer only cost the county $6,000 because they had help from several sponsors.
Deakins tells us it will be available to other department around the region for training.

Edison: His Life and Inventions HTML version
The Electric Railway
EDISON had no sooner designed his dynamo in 1879 than he adopted the same form of
machine for use as a motor. The two are shown in the Scientific American of October 18,
1879, and are alike, except that the dynamo is vertical and the motor lies in a horizontal
position, the article remarking: "Its construction differs but slightly from the electric
generator." This was but an evidence of his early appreciation of the importance of
electricity as a motive power; but it will probably surprise many people to know that he
was the inventor of an electric motor before he perfected his incandescent lamp. His
interest in the subject went back to his connection with General Lefferts in the days of the
evolution of the stock ticker. While Edison was carrying on his shop at Newark, New
Jersey, there was considerable excitement in electrical circles over the Payne motor, in
regard to the alleged performance of which Governor Cornell of New York and other
wealthy capitalists were quite enthusiastic. Payne had a shop in Newark, and in one small
room was the motor, weighing perhaps six hundred pounds. It was of circular form,
incased in iron, with the ends of several small magnets sticking through the floor. A
pulley and belt, con- nected to a circular saw larger than the motor, permitted large logs
of oak timber to be sawed with ease with the use of two small cells of battery. Edison's
friend, General Lefferts, had become excited and was determined to invest a large sum of
money in the motor company, but knowing Edison's intimate familiarity with all
electrical subjects he was wise enough to ask his young expert to go and see the motor
with him. At an appointed hour Edison went to the office of the motor company and
found there the venerable Professor Morse, Governor Cornell, General Lefferts, and
many others who had been invited to witness a performance of the motor. They all
proceeded to the room where the motor was at work. Payne put a wire in the binding-post
of the battery, the motor started, and an assistant began sawing a heavy oak log. It
worked beautifully, and so great was the power developed, apparently, from the small
battery, that Morse exclaimed: "I am thankful that I have lived to see this day." But
Edison kept a close watch on the motor. The results were so foreign to his experience that
he knew there was a trick in it. He soon discovered it. While holding his hand on the
frame of the motor he noticed a tremble coincident with the exhaust of an engine across
the alleyway, and he then knew that the power came from the engine by a belt under the
floor, shifted on and off by a magnet, the other magnets being a blind. He whispered to
the General to put his hand on the frame of the motor, watch the exhaust, and note the
coincident tremor. The General did so, and in about fifteen seconds he said: "Well,
Edison, I must go now. This thing is a fraud." And thus he saved his money, although
others not so shrewdly advised were easily persuaded to invest by such a demonstration.
A few years later, in 1878, Edison went to Wyoming with a group of astronomers, to test
his tasimeter during an eclipse of the sun, and saw the land white to harvest. He noticed
the long hauls to market or elevator that the farmers had to make with their loads of grain
at great expense, and conceived the idea that as ordinary steam-railroad service was too
costly, light electric railways might be constructed that could be operated automatically
over simple tracks, the propelling motors being controlled at various points. Cheap to
build and cheap to maintain, such roads would be a great boon to the newer farming
regions of the West, where the highways were still of the crudest character, and where

100 Years Ago in the Forward
As a large-scale rent strike engulfs Manhattan's Lower East Side, more than 150 strikers were called into Municipal Court on charges of failing to pay their rent. Of those standing accused, only one was sentenced by the court to leave his dwelling. With his landlord and the building's housekeeper testifying against him, Abraham Ludzhin of 44 Essex Street received a court order to move out immediately. The following day, the city marshal appeared and moved all of his and his family's belongings out of the apartment. But, to the chagrin of the landlord and his housekeeper, as soon as the family's things were moved outside, the rest of the building's residents brought them right back up, hiding them in various apartments. When threatened with eviction, the building's residents laughed in the landlord's face.

The Soviet communist "clean-up" of undesirable party members continues as this year's harvests are lower than ever and as "industrialization" is declared to become the foundation of the country's economy. As part of the "clean-up" of undesirables, the well-known Ukrainian communist leader M. Kipper was threatened with expulsion from the party because the region he leads failed to meet the government's bread quota. Kipper heads the large collective known as "Apikoyres." Two other leaders of the Apikoyres collective, Simkin and Kusovski, were ejected from the party for associating with "kulaks" and for not adhering sufficiently to Bolshevist ideals.
It sometimes seems like the world is full of jokes that are either about Jews or by Jews. In France, both types of jokes are extremely popular. More often than not, the Jews come out looking good. For example, when you tell a joke to a Catholic, he laughs three times: once when he hears it, once after it's explained to him and once when he understands it; a Protestant laughs twice: once when he hears the joke and once when it's explained (he never really gets it); a Muslim laughs only once — when he hears it — and there's no sense explaining the joke, because he'll never get it; a Jew doesn't even laugh: He tells you he's already heard it.

Last week, Leonard Bernstein began a new career as head conductor of the New York Philharmonic. He also performed a piano solo by Soviet composer Dimitri Shostakovich, Piano Concerto No. 2. The star-studded audience received Bernstein's premiere with great enthusiasm and thunderous applause in a sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall. But some critics were unhappy with Bernstein's choice of Shostakovitch — this was the first time his second piano concerto was played in New York — whose work has suffered as a result of the strict parameters of Soviet culture and politics.

Anthony Commey refuses to blame misfiring New Edubiase
New Edubiase coach Anthony Commey refused to criticize his players after their 1-1 home draw against Ashantigold on Saturday.
Edubiase needed an expertly taken free-kick from substitute Stephen Manu to grind out a point in front of their home fans.
Ashantigold will be happier of the two following a string of unimpressive performances this season.
Edubiase failed to make home advantage count as they huffed and puffed in front of goal.
But with their players likely to come in for lots of flak from their supporters coach Commey has stucked by his players even though they let him down.
"I don't think we should dish out blame to anybody. It was a collective display from the team,†Commey said
"I am satisfied with their performance. We wanted to win and did everything possible on the pitch, but we managed to at least pick a point.
"We should leave it that way and focus on our next game.â€
Edubiase will travel to Kpando to face Heart of Lion.

Next U-M Event: Saturday, March 29 -- vs. Indiana (Canham Natatorium), Noon
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 18-ranked University of Michigan water polo team wrapped its perfect tournament weekend and extended its win streak to 12 straight games with lopsided wins over Siena, 14-6, and Fresno Pacific, 13-2, on the final day of its Wolverine Invitational on Sunday (March 16) at Canham Natatorium.
Sophomore Presley Pender (Costa Mesa, Calif./Newport Harbor HS) scored five goals, including a career-best four against Siena, an assist and three steals to headline the Wolverines' offensive efforts. Seniors Hathaway Moore (Atherton, Calif./Saint Francis HS) and Kelsey Nolan (San Jose, Calif./Leland HS) also posted hat tricks while sophomore Barbara Lanier (Lafayette, Calif./Acalanes HS) registered two goals in each game.
For the second straight day, the Wolverines utilized all three goalkeepers, and the trio combined for 22 saves, including 14 in U-M's finale against Fresno Pacific. Sophomore Hayden Green (El Segundo, Calif./El Segundo HS) posted a leading nine saves, while freshman Emily Browning (Lake Forest, Calif./El Toro HS) allowed just one goal through two quarters of play.
The Wolverines took advantage of significant early leads in both contests. Michigan led 9-4 at the halftime break in the morning slate against Siena behind scoring bursts early and late in the opening half. Pender and Lanier struck quickly, both scoring in the first minute of the game. Lanier stole the ball at mid-pool, drew the kickout and scored from two meters; she added her second tally on another two-meter shot just minutes later.
Michigan closed the half with three goals in the final 35 seconds. Pender drew a five-meter penalty and successfully converted it herself, while Moore scored on back-to-back counter attacks just 14 seconds apart, completing her hat trick with a backhand shot at the buzzer.
The Wolverines added five goals in the second half, including two apiece from sophomore Kelly Martin (Orlando, Fla./Winter Park HS) and Pender, who netted a pair of outside shots in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter.
Michigan jumped out to an even bigger advantage in the Fresno Pacific game, scoring three goals in the first and seven in the second to carry a 10-1 halftime lead. Nine different Wolverines tallied goals against FPU, including seven different goal scorers in the second quarter alone. Kelsey Nolan netted two within a minute window midway through the first quarter before completing her hat trick effort with a one-touch goal in front early in the fourth.
Michigan will take a week hiatus before hosting rival Indiana on Saturday, March 29. The game, U-M's third against the Hoosiers this season, is slated for a noon start Canham Natatorium.

Senior Kelsey Nolan's hat trick was her team-leading sixth of the season.
Michigan Head Coach Matt Anderson
On the weekend effort ... "We're coming off spring break and we're in midterms, but we want them to maintain their focus. It's good to be at home. We had our marquee game last night; that was a huge win. Then it's a matter of coming back and playing well this morning. We did a nice job this morning after the first period, and I thought we had a very nice first half this afternoon. Today we focused more on playing three different groups. There were a lot of positives, but there are also still some growth process things. This weekend definitely established the pecking order and how we're going to move forward."
On the defensive play ... "We got very solid goaltending. We had much better one-on-one defense, which was our goal. We were able to play the ball better and get some steals that a month ago we weren't getting.
On their biggest focus going forward ... "Our biggest focus is to focus at this point. We have three games over the next three weeks, so right now they've got to focus on the little things. We don't have time to try to correct during the game or during timeouts, because we want to move forward and give them new challenges. We need to finish out these next three weekends before we get into the championship tournament at a high level."
U-M Senior Kelsey Nolan
On the weekend sweep ... "It was awesome. Everyone's spirits are up; it's nice to get some wins under our belts and keep the streak going. We're excited to move forward from here, taking what we learned over the weekend -- good things and bad things -- and moving forward as we prepare for Easterns."
On the biggest positive from the weekend ... "A lot of people got playing time, including people that normally don't get as much. That's great, because it allows us to deepen our bench for when we're going to really depend on it."
On what U-M can continue to improve looking ahead ... "Offensively, we need to work on executing, especially on our counter attacks. We're getting up on our counters; we've done a lot of conditioning, so we're enough, we're just not finishing. Defensively, we need to minimize stupid kickouts and getting ourselves into kickout trouble. I know I personally have to work on that."

SANTA CRUZ -- Santa Cruz firefighters responded to a smoldering hose on the dredge vessel at the Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor Thursday morning.
About 8:30 a.m., there was a report of a vessel in the water on fire, said Mike Venezio, a battalion chief for Santa Cruz Fire.
The crew of the dredge vessel, which was in the water near the mouth of the harbor, had boarded the vessel when they noticed smoke in a small compartment, Venezio said. The crew closed the door immediately and called the fire department.
Three engines were dispatched from Santa Cruz Fire and Central Fire Protection District. Firefighters deployed a fire boat and a harbor patrol boat to fight the fire, Venezio said.
In the smoke-filled compartment, firefighters found a hose draped over a generator. The hose had heated up, creating smoke and a small fire, Venezio said.
Firefighters were able to douse the fire, Venezio said.
"Anytime you get a fire on a boat with all the electrical stuff and grease and oil, it could be a huge deal," he said.
The 28-year-old dredge, which has never been out of the harbor, had minor damage but should be able to function, Venezio said.
There were no reported injuries and no foul play is suspected.

Is Writing for the Rich?
There's an interesting article in The Week that asks what is perhaps a rhetorical question: Is writing for the rich?
Comments (21)
I haven't read the article yet, but must answer the question. Yes, of course, darling, writing is for the rich. Of course! Of course!
This sounds like more whining from print media, the old, dying order, on the rise of blogs. My, my. You'd think on-line writing was the end of everything good, rather than a thrilling democratic revolution.
Writers never starved before the internet? Excuse me?
John Maynard Keynes was a Lord,with A-list political connections. The other example wrote for Hearst.
We're supposed to believe that writers will starve if they try to publish on the internet? No, they might have to work a day job, that's all. The internet is not taking away jobs; it's making an older, less democratic process less relevant. I say, hurrah for that.
Writing is LESS a rich man's job today than it was in the days of John Maynard Keynes.
My friends who are sculptors or filmmakers like to remind me that writers are lucky because it only takes a pen and paper to practice their art. Time is precious no matter what. But as far as materials go, all you need to be a writer is your thoughts, a pen and paper.
Writing is like painting. Just about anyone can go down to the hardware store and buy a few brushes and cans of paint. If you can't do that you can go through the garbage around a construction site. You are sure to find something there, if only a beginning. We can enterprisingly start with the proverbial white picket fence and work our way up to the house. We can even subcontract the job like Tom Sawyer. That's painting. And there is also Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock. Two usual suspects is the argument of minimalist forms. How much content does a white picket fence have and what are its sexual politics? Is it really part of the patriarchal death machine? Does painting necessarily make us good neighbors?
Tom gave up the brush with reluctance in his face, but alacrity in his heart. And while the late steamer Big Missouri worked and sweated in the sun, the retired artist sat on a barrel in the shade close by, dangled his legs munched his apple, and planned the slaughter of more innocents. There was no lack of material; boys happened along every little while; they came to jeer, but remained to whitewash. By the time Ben was fagged out, Tom had traded the next chance to Billy Fisher for a kite in good repair; and when he played out, Johnny Miller bought in for a dead rat and a string to sing it with—and so on, hour after hour. And when the middle of the afternoon came, from being a poor poverty-stricken boy in the morning, Tom was literally rolling wealth. He had, besides the things before mentioned, twelve marbles, part of a jew's-harp, a piece of blue bottle-glass to look through, a spoon cannon, a key that wouldn't unlock anything, a fragment of chalk, a glass stopper of a decanter, a tin soldier, a couple of tadpoles, a kitten with only one eye, a brass door-knob, a dog-collar-but no dog – the handle of a knife, four pieces of orange-peel, and a dilapidated window-sash.
He had had a nice, good, idle time all the while—plenty of company—and the fence had three coats of whitewash on it! If he hadn't run out of whitewash, he would have bankrupted every boy in the village.
No, but perhaps eating, dressing and living in style while writing is.
on the one hand, Woolf: "Give her a room of her own and five hundred a year, let her speak her mind and leave out half that she now puts in, and she will write a better book one of these days."
on the other, Faulkner: "People really are afraid to find out just how much hardship and poverty they can stand. They are afraid to find out how tough they are. Nothing can destroy the good writer."
(& I agree with both of them, naturally.)
Kind of insulting to his readers for Wilkinson to write this pretending he's purely concerned for young writers. When you restrict publishing to a handful of people, it's easy to keep your yes-men eating well.
Wilkinson's own business model is in danger. If he admitted his own selfish motives for rustling up fear over the Internet, his article would be easier to take seriously. If the price to pay for having free public access to publishing is that a lucky few can't buy a second SUV, well, then it's a price I pay gladly.
"If the price to pay for having free public access to publishing is that a lucky few can't buy a second SUV, well, then it's a price I pay gladly."
No, the price you're paying is that our would-be Sontags cannot pay rent while devoting themselves full-time to writing and reading.
But something tells me that "writers" who rely on smug, hackneyed political shorthand like "second SUV's" probably doesn't think there's a valuable difference between writers. It wouldn't be "democratic" to suggest that some writers are just damned smarter and should be rewarded for it.
Writing needs a lot of passion some people writes about their inspirations some writes about their experiences some essay writer writes because of the job but the mos important of all you write because of passion because you love doing it.
You're right Katy, it was a hackneyed response to an article that I felt wasn't presenting both sides of an important issue. The reality is more complicated than either I or Wilkinson suggested.
To me, writing, publishing, and reading are resources before they are industries. The Internet gives an exponentially larger amount of people access to these resources. If anyone is suggesting restricting access to these things for a massive amount of people, even for the purpose of paying a handful of people's rent, I'm sorry, but I just can't get on board with that.
People not being able to pay rent is a whole other issue (and one I can certainly sympathize with). This is a problem for way too many people (not just would-be writers), and there's no excuse for it in a country as rich as ours. I'm willing to fight that battle on any number of fronts, but I'm not willing to restrict access to what should be universal resources in order to do it.
The Internet is killing the print industry, and this causes a huge amount of complications. These complications need to be dealt with seriously, and not with "smug, hackneyed political shorthand" like my own earlier. But we can't pretend the fall of the print industry isn't also the freeing of millions of voices.
No matter which way you take this article and the author's motives (and a variety of interpretations are popping up here) it's definitely frightening – especially for freelancers. Grub Street never was an easy place to live, and it's certainly not getting any easier.
Iaian, I have spent most of my career under the assumption that writing, publishing and reading are resources before they are industries. But I also know that the best criticism I read in major publications beats the stuffing out of the best blogs I can think of. And being paid is what gives, say, Barry Schwabsky the time to write a 4,000-word masterful review of Barbara Guest in The Nation. I don't think that we can just assume, in our race to the bottom, that the Schwabskys of the world will just do that work on a free blog in the future. That's just one aspect of my internet pessimism, and it's enough for now. Full disclosure: I make some money writing. And I drive a ten-year-old station wagon whose heater core needs to be replaced, and I can't afford to fix it. ;-(
I wasn't the poster here, Martin, but points taken.
That most people who identify themselves as "writers" are poor is an unsurprising statistical fact.
Mr. Wilkinson's article merely iterates some of the reasons why most will remain so.
The Internet does actually have its own working business models, but personally, I'm not interested in business models. For the first time in history, writing has the ability to operate outside of both the tyranny of the market and the tyranny of big money. If there were ever something that needed to be said, but no one was willing to pay for it to be said, the Internet now provides a place for that kind of speech. We've already seen bloggers in countries where paid journalists have never been able to penetrate be able to tell the world about the conditions they live in, and alert us of human rights abuses we would have otherwise been unaware of.
On a less sensationalist note, the Internet provides new possibilities for grass roots raising of money (as both Ron Paul and Obama's campaigns well know). New ways of raising money for writers, and new ways of finding readers will provide smaller groups ways of publishing writing that otherwise could not get funded. I think there are a huge amount of small press publishers that have already experienced this. Large publishers have something to fear from the Internet, but no so much the writers and small presses. It's the same with the recording industry. The RIAA is the only one who has anything to fear, artists who have embraced the Internet have already begun to make more money. This is the death of the superstar we're talking about here, but not the death of the paid artist.
The idea of "free speech" in a pre-internet culture is almost a joke compared to what it is now. It was only "free" if you had enough money to speak it, or were willing to submit yourself to the censorship of those who did. I think we will actually see an increase in the quality of writing now that there is so much less bureaucracy standing between the passion of the writers and publishing of the product. As long as there is money, there will be people willing who are willing to shell it out for Barry Schwabsky's 10 page reviews. That said, I will continue to exercise what I consider my basic human right to "access" knowledge that I cannot afford.
"I agree that, in an ideal world, studying epistemology, classical music, and Italian Renaissance art would be part of every cultivated person's education. But we live in a world in which 27,000 children die every day from preventable causes.
In such a world, it is difficult to deny that some areas of study are an indulgence. It's not wrong to pursue them. Arguably we need some indulgences, some pursuits that broaden our gaze and refresh our spirits before we turn back to more-urgent problems. But indulgences need to be placed in a setting in which it is clear that they are not the most important thing in our lives, or in the education we offer."
Peter Singer
Civilization is not an "indulgence." This assumes that if we diminish the importance of classical music and poetry, for instance, charitiable giving will somehow increase, and this is not the case. Wealth-creation is a highly complex issue. I don't doubt Mr. Singer's sincerity, but the guilt-trip is beside the point, I'm afraid.
One man's guilt trip is another man's guilt. Agree or disagree with Singer, who puts the case more boldly than Wilkinson, everybody must decide how literally they take WCW's lines:
It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die every day
for lack
of what is found
Speaking of that WCW quote, here is a great NYTBR Letter to the Editor about the latest Orr column On Poetry:
To the Editor:
Am I the only loyal reader (and subscriber) who would rather have read several reviews of "not great" contemporary poetry than David Orr's tiresome essay? Like an adventurer who climbs the greatest glaciers as the climate system that makes them possible collapses, Orr claims the "greatest" poets while the system of popular newspaper poetry reviewing that supports a literary culture trickles out. Please start giving us readers the news of poems, preferably from contemporary poetry presses rather than the "great" trades, because we're dying miserably every day out here for lack thereof.
Thanks for quoting E.J. MCADAMS.
"Like an adventurer who climbs the greatest glaciers as the climate system that makes them possible collapses, Orr claims the "greatest" poets while the system of popular newspaper poetry reviewing that supports a literary culture trickles out. Please start giving us readers the news of poems, preferably from contemporary poetry presses rather than the "great" trades, because we're dying miserably every day out here for lack thereof."
But the letter writer is surely not blaming Mr. Orr for the dying out of popular newspaper poetry reviewing?
"Please start giving us readers the news of poems, preferably from contemporary poetry presses…"
But the quantity of "us readers" asking for "contemporary poetry" is too small for the newspaper editor to pay his bills.
Until the numbers pick up, E.J.'s request to "start giving us readers the news of poems, preferably from contemporary poetry…" will fall on deaf ears, and meanwhile it will be necessary for reviewers like Mr. Orr to ask as provocatively as possible for great poetry.
Writing for the rich? If that is to be the sole means of income, there will be a significant number of writers who will quickly learn that thoughts and pencil lead do not a meal make. But, how many writers truly hold to the concept that writing is going to be their only means of income. You must become established in order to make the a "living" from your writing alone. The same is understood in all circles of life. College is a beautiful opportunity, but not many students can be students alone. Therefore, is college only for the rich? I have a love of basketball, but it will not keep the lights on in my home. It must be for the rich, also.
The internet is merely the newest canvas/spiral notebook. As old forms of communication are replaced by new technology, the art will adapt to the medium. There may be a chaotic period during the transition, and we may lose some of the talented individuals who are not capable of adapting, But, writers have written, knowing that they must have a supplemental income, since the dawn of the art. Be it as professors, lecturers, factory workers, or fast food delivery boys/girls. Writers will write, some will be paid, and the lucky few will be able to make a living on their craft alone.
So, Good Luck to you all.

So my search-fu must be weak, as I've scanned a ton of threads trying to figure out how to customize a color scheme. I'm using the Soda Dark Theme with the Monokai Soda color scheme, but I want to change those colors. Where/how do I do this? In what program?
Check here for general information about Sublime, and here for color schemes specifically.
The Monokai syntax theme can be found in Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Monokai.tmTheme . This is an XML file and you can edit it in any editor; ST2 works well because the changes will be applied instantly (barring any syntax errors).
If you have access to Textmate, you can edit the theme there with its GUI, and then copy the theme over to sublime.
Note: we are talking about "color schemes", such as Monokai, which are ".tmtheme" files.'
"Themes" like Soda Dark, are a different matter. The terminology is completely confusing.

McNeese State coach Dave Simmons and the Cowboys (3-3) will host rival Louisiana-Lafayette (3-5) in a nonconference game at 7 p.m. Saturday. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Friday, December 07, 2012 10:07 PM
By Alex Hickey / American Press
Six games into the college basketball season, it is difficult to tell what kind of team McNeese State has this year.
The Cowboys (3-3) have beaten three non-Division I programs and lost to three stronger programs. They'll finally get a look at how they size up against someone comparable when old rival Louisiana-Lafayette (3-5) visits at 7 p.m. today.
"That's when we'll find out what we really are," said guard Jeremie Mitchell. "It's a game we can win, but they have a real good team at the same time. This is going to be a good test."
The Ragin' Cajuns are also trying to figure out where they stand. Four of their five losses have come to teams likely to be in the NCAA tournament picture — Boise State (63-57), New Mexico State (79-57), Michigan State (63-60) and Middle Tennessee State (72-58).
"Obviously we've got to step up the level of competition," said McNeese coach Dave Simmons. "That will probably be a measure of where we are. Lafayette's a good team. They had an opportunity to win at Michigan State. They are a very dangerous basketball team."
On paper, the Cajuns present the undersized Cowboys a difficult matchup in the form of 6-foot-9, 243-pound forward Shawn Long. The Mississippi State transfer and Morgan City native is averaging 16.9 points and 8.0 rebounds per game.
However, Simmons said the Cajuns don't use Long as a back-to-the basket player, which somewhat negates his size advantage offensively.
"They very seldom put him on the block," Simmons said. "He's more a face-up guy then back-to-the basket."
Simmons said guard Elfrid Payton, who missed a shot at the buzzer to bring Michigan State to overtime, is also a dangerous scoring option.
Forward Desharick Guidry has the hot hand for McNeese, going in with three consecutive double-doubles. He is seeking to become the first Cowboy with four straight double-doubles since Anthony Pullard in 1989-90.
Simmons said freshman forward Austin Lewis, who missed the second half of Monday's win over Texas-Tyler with a sprained ankle, should play tonight, though his minutes might be limited.
ULL easily won last season's meeting, 78-56, but has lost its last three trips to Lake Charles going back to 2004.
"We've been very successful at home and they've been very successful at their place (in the rivalry)," Simmons said. "It'll be a good for both of us. (Bob Marlin) has a lot of young kids just like we do. It'll be a good measure of whose program is where we want to be at this point in progression."
NOTES: Marlin's contract was extended five years through the 2016-17 season on Friday. Marlin is 33-36 in three seasons with the Cajuns. The base salary of $180,000 from the original contract remains unchanged, but the premium benefits of the contract increased from $95,000 to $220,000 a year, giving the contract a guaranteed sum of $400,00 per year.

DALLAS -- Redskins owner Daniel Snyder said he had "no idea" of the details of an incident two days earlier in which Washington DL Albert Haynesworth was accused of simple assault but expressed optimism that the controversial player can be a significant contributor next season.
"It may still work out," Snyder said. "You never know."
Fellow motorist, Joel Velazquez, 38, of Leesburg, Va., claims that Haynesworth left his vehicle and punched him in the nose during an altercation Wednesday in Reston, Va. Simple assault in that state is punishable by a maximum sentence of one year in jail and a fine that may not exceed $2,500.
Although the legal process must play out, Snyder sounded as though he believes the team can still develop a good relationship with a player who repeatedly clashed with Mike Shanahan in his first year as head coach.
"I want him to do the right thing and work with his coach, Mike Shanahan, and his general manager, Bruce Allen," Snyder said.
He also outlined a future that may include aging QB Donovan McNabb.
"I like Donovan very much," he said. "As a person, he's unbelievable. I think he's a good player."
Snyder emphasized, though, that personnel decisions will be left to Allen and Shanahan.
"I'll support whichever way they go," he said.

Zalman ZM1000-HP Plus 1000W Power Supply
Test Results
Our load tests utilize a couple of FAST ATE active load testers and a variety of other equipment such as an oscilloscope, power conditioner, temperature probe and a power consumption meter. You can read more about our standard testing approach here.
The tests performed are based around six conceivable setups that are out there and progressively load down the PSU up to the power supply's limits or 1000W, whichever comes first. Since our test equipment's limits are equal to that of the Zalman ZM1000-HP Plus, we can test it to the maximum.
Zalman's ZM1000-HP Plus performs excellent throughout all of our tests. All of the rails show minimal changes in voltages and never even come close to falling outside of the ATX specifications. Efficiency was also spot on for the 80Plus Silver rating on the power supply. Zalman has also managed to keep the ripple down on the 12V rail. Even under full load, the ZM1000-HP Plus only measured 28mV peak to peak.
The dual heat pipe design combined with the 140mm fan kept the Zalman ZM1000-HP whisper quiet through all of the tests as well and could barely be heard. It wasn't until the power supply reached the third test that the fan even became audible which is approximately 56% load. The fan noise remained the same throughout the rest of the tests.
Final Thoughts
Zalman has produced a very solid power supply with the ZM1000-HP Plus. It performed very well in our load tests and one simply can't ask for a power supply to perform much better. Zalman's inclusion of dual heat pipes to cool the power supply coupled with a large 140mm fan to dissipate the heat and provide fresh air is fantastic. It keeps the power supply nearly silent even under load and makes it ideal for those seeking silent powerhouses.
Zalman could still do several things to improve the quality and value of the unit. The price is quite steep for a 1000W power supply. There are many others out there that offer nearly the same output performance wise for much less, but aren't quite as silent. Not utilizing a grommet as the wires come out of the power supply is something that I have only seen in a handful of power supplies over the last five years or more, and never in such a high end unit. The warranty on the ZM1000-HP is also a bit short, especially when looking at the offerings of other high end power supplies available.
After the great capacitor fiasco of the early 2000's, many people still remain highly reserved about any PC product that incorporates them and is one of the main reasons there has been such a large focus the past couple of years on pointing out the inclusion of Japanese capacitors. Zalman made sure to point out that the power supply used Japanese capacitors on the box, but didn't mention that it was only throughout part of the power supply. It would be nice to see 100% Japanese capacitors through the entire PSU.

Fat dolphins go on a diet at Kinosaki Marine World
The dolphins at Kinosaki Marine World were having trouble making high jumps during shows, so trainers investigated and found that the dolphins were too plump to jump:
Keepers measured their weight and found all had gotten plumper, some up to 22 pounds heavier just during the summer.
All had the same menu _ about 31 pounds of mackerel mixed with some white fish _ but keepers found the mackerels had gotten fattier, adding too many calories for the dolphins.
Keepers immediately put them on a weight loss program, feeding them more white fish and less fatty mackerels, while instituting a routine exercise regime, Imazu said.
Expect updates on the progress of the Diet at Kinosaki Marine World's WordPress blog (Japanese).

It's a bad deal.
To make the trade completely equitable, he should be giving you cash and a Glock for your pistol.
Of course, he can't make a profit that way, so he is being businesslike and reasonably ethical.
In truth, the 1911 is the better target pistol, particularly as a "learner." In my personal opinion, it's much easier to shoot well than the Glock will be.
As a concealed-carry pistol, however, the Glock might be the better choice.

What I did
Visit Hobbiton
Our adventure off the beaten path took us to a little town called Matamata. This happy place adopted the name of Hobbiton (at least their sign said as much), but we knew the truth: Matamata wasn't the real Hobbiton. The real Hobbiton laid just 15 kilometers outside of town on a beautiful sheep farm with rolling hills. That's where Katie and I were headed, and Matamata was the gateway to getting there.
During our New Zealand research we'd decided to skip this stop on the road, not because we weren't interested in seeing Hobbiton (obviously we were), but because Hobbiton had been reduced to a mere whisper of what it once was. The original sets had been dismantled since the making of "The Lord of the Rings," leaving behind some sad, dark holes gaping upon a hillside.
This decision, however, we reached well before Peter Jackson and Co. unveiled the adaptation of "The Hobbit" into a feature film. Lo and behold, the very place where Hobbiton was created for the trilogy was now being brought back to life! And since we just happened to be cruising past that very spot on our way up north, there was no way we weren't going to stop and take a look.
The Matamata visitor's center was decked out in all sorts of wizardry (and not the tasteful kind, at that). It was abundantly clear that Hobbiton was this town's one and only claim to fame, and they were milking it for all it was worth. But as they say, advertising pays, and we were living proof of that, eagerly dishing out a fair amount of dough for the chance to see a wee little village for wee little people.
Even though our feet were firmly planted in a small New Zealand town on the other side of the world, Hollywood was still wielding its unmerciful reach, stretching its long limbs across the ocean and plopping down nondisclosure agreements right in front of our faces. Yes, in order for us to enter the lichen covered gates of Hobbiton we had to sign on the dotted line, because Lord knows no one has ever set eyes on the set of Hobbiton before…ahem..
This all adds up to one thing my friends: I can't tell any of you about our incredible visit to "Bag End." I can't even show you a picture! (though many were taken) But I can tell you a few things. For one, our guide was a sweet elderly chap by the name of Eric, and he adored me. What can I say? I'm very loveable. From the beginning of the tour to the end I was hopping at his heels firing questions at him like a jackrabbit. Even though he was hard of hearing, he was a veritable fount of knowledge (I just had to make sure I stood in front of him when I spoke).
He's been guiding these tours since the very beginning, eight years ago, and was now on cloud nine seeing Hobbiton coming back to life once more. He loved the place like a home, constantly waxing poetic about the future. "The possibilities are endless," he'd say time and time again while gazing out at the landscape. By the end of our tour I was just as thrilled with Hobbiton as he was, so I asked him, "If I stay in New Zealand can I become a Hobbiton guide like you?" He laughed, put his hands on my shoulders and replied, "It takes years of experience." When we got off the bus I thanked him and he wrapped me in a big hug and said, "There's a good girl," as though he were my grandfather
The other thing I can tell you is that with every Hobbiton tour comes a free sheep shearing demonstration! (I know, random, right? But you have to consider that this magical place resides on a working sheep farm. They've got to push their product.)
So, if you're ever traveling through these parts and want to step into a living, breathing fantasy, I can't say enough about the rare and unique experience of visiting Hobbiton. It's no longer somewhere that lives in my imagination. It's real! It exists. And I'd love to return to it someday. Not just for the landscape, either. It was wonderful seeing Katie at home amongst her people. With her kinsmen all around she felt comfortable enough to whip out those hairy feet of hers and even dance a jig! I was so proud.
In conclusion, our few hours spent off course were well worth it. We got to stretch our legs, smell the flowers, and sing a happy song under the party tree. Time well spent in Middle Earth.
UPDATE! Alice and Katie are now embarking on a Round the World trip!

Is my kitten a purebred Himalayan?
This little furbaby came to live with us Christmas 2011. I was told he was purebred Himalayan (Seal-Lynx Point). The only think that has me doubting this is the fact that his eyes are robin's eye blue in the middle, surrounded by pale yellow. When I asked about this, I was told that this is typical of the Lynx line. Does anyone know this for a fact? I thought Himalyan eyes needed to be pure, bright blue. Thanks!

Does it really matter that much? If he doesn't have pedigreed papers from a reputable breeder he's not really ideal for serious "cat-fancying" or proper breeding, right? And no matter what he's still a gorgeous little cat. Plus at 2 months his eyes probably aren't the exact color and shading they'll end up when he's all grown up.
Also since the breeder let her animals have rampant flea infestations she probably wasn't screening her breeding candidates closely to minimize the chances for Himalayan genetic problems like polycystic kidney disease or overly recessed noses leading to breathing problems, so if he has a little of a hardier breed or moggie cat mixed in his background that's probably a blessing! We hope you reported her to animal control- no breeder should be selling kittens with fleas and untreated URIs, that is gross neglect. Rescue groups don't even adopt out feral kittens until those kind of problems are cured!

I'm glad that Jack Frost has found a good home. Your story about the breeder makes me mad. It's breeders like that that give the rest of us a bad name. Has Jack gotten a thorough health check? If the yellowed eyes are the sign of a health problem, you should know. I've never had a colorpoint cat, but in the case of moggies and Maine Coons, eye color doesn't stabilize until three months or so. At two months, eye color is still fluctuating. Any breeder who sells a cat before its eye color has stabilized is selling their kittens way too soon. This breeder should be reported to animal control and/or any regristry the breeder belongs to. The world doesn't need sleazy breeders.
