Binghamton University President Harvey Stenger's Quarterly Report - December 31, 2014
I recently spent some time working out with one of the University's yoga classes. While the class at the Appalachian Dining Hall was a great opportunity for informal networking between students and administrators, what I liked most about it was that it provided a chance to work with students in a combined exercise. Sometimes, on this campus and others I've been on, students, faculty and administrators seem to be operating in different universes. While everyone tends to their work and the institution continues to flourish, sometimes the distances between groups appear to be growing and the silos look like they are getting taller. The interactions I had with the students in the yoga class reminded me not only of my aging body, but also that it is important to stretch a little, to move out of your comfort zone and to relax some. Most of all, it reminded me how important it is to shake up your day and interact with other groups and individuals. Lying on a mat for 20 minutes really can change your perspective.
Looking back on the past quarter (Sept.-Dec. 2014), I can see that the University is really stretching. It's getting bigger and better, with new students; more faculty; new schools and facilities; a growing impact in the region, state and globe; and continuing investment in the University's future through the Road Map to Premier. At the same time, we continue to work to break down the silos and walls that divide us, replacing them with a shared commitment to success for the entire campus community.
Campus growth
Ever since NYSUNY 2020 passed in 2012, much of the University's energy has been directed toward growing the campus, with a goal of enrolling 20,000 students by 2020. Over the past two years, we have slightly exceeded our growth target of 400 to 500 students per year; this is due in no small part to the growing reputation of our academic programs, resulting in a greater percentage of students accepting admission than in the past. Current enrollment is nearly 16,700 students, which is close to our target for 2017.
This being the season when high school seniors are applying for college, we also see that interest in Binghamton is as high as it has ever been. Freshman applications are up by more than 2,300 compared to last year at this point in time, and more than 10,000 students applied for early action consideration. Our admissions office has been paying close attention to the "yield" of applicants with regard to the academic characteristics of the incoming class, and while it is early in the admissions process, evidence suggests that next year's incoming class will be of very high quality.
But growing the University means more than just increasing enrollment — it means hiring faculty at a rate that actually reduces the student-to-faculty ratio. We are currently in the midst of a hiring initiative that will bring a net of 150 new tenure-track faculty (TTF) to campus, significantly lowering our overall student-to-TTF ratio.
If our growing reputation allows us to recruit better students, it also helps us attract top-quality faculty. This fall we've hired 46 new faculty; of the 39 faculty who received PhDs from U.S. universities, 31 have come from research universities ranked in the top 50 nationally. In addition, experienced scholars and researchers have come to Binghamton from distinguished universities including Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Wake Forest and Purdue. Hiring continues to be broad-based, involving all schools and focusing on our Transdisciplinary Areas of Excellence (TAEs). This semester we've conducted 64 faculty searches spread essentially evenly between Harpur and our professional schools. Forty-six of these searches revolve around specific TAEs, suggesting that University research and scholarship will advance significantly in the coming years.
Campus growth also means a need for professional and support staff. All told, 214 additional staff have been hired since 2011. While slightly more staff have been hired than faculty, the rate of increase is significantly lower, meaning that the University continues to be a lean and efficient operation.
Academic programs and facilities enhancements
We continue to move forward with our School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Johnson City. Following a very productive search, led by Graduate School Dean Susan Strehle, I'm pleased to announce that Gloria Meredith has joined us as the inaugural dean of the Binghamton University School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. After four years, we will enroll 380 students, comprised of approximately 320 Pharm D students and 30 PhD students.
Not only is the campus adding new academic programs, but we are also looking closely at the pedagogy used to teach students, so that learning is active, engaging and long-lasting. Binghamton University has thrived because we value excellence in teaching and we continuously adapt our pedagogy to the changing needs of students. We take our teaching seriously, and continually look for ways to improve the classroom experience for students and faculty.
This semester the University took an innovative step toward understanding best teaching practices with the introduction of a new Learning Studio under the leadership of James Pitarresi, director of the Center for Learning and Teaching. This room is a true "learning and teaching laboratory" where faculty can experiment with pedagogy, room design and technology. Already, seven instructors are using digital technology and assessment tools to discover what works — and what doesn't — when it comes to student-centered learning.
In October, we dedicated our Center of Excellence building at our Innovative Technologies Complex. After four years of construction, this $30 million facility is housing the Center of Excellence in Small Scale Systems Integration and Packaging (S3IP). The center has several distinct research foci, including component miniaturization, thermal management, energy optimization, and energy harvesting and storage technologies.
Protest and constructive engagement
Because Binghamton University is one of the primary institutions in the Southern Tier, I have always believed that we need to be a leader in our engagement with the broader society. This fall there have been several instances where circumstances beyond the campus gates have been reflected in the attitudes and concerns of our students and faculty. In particular, the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner in Ferguson, Mo., and New York City have resulted in significant protests, on campus and across the nation.
At Binghamton, a large group of students and faculty gathered near Bartle Library and marched through campus, briefly blocking traffic near the University Union. Unfortunately, one or more persons used social media to post anonymous, derogatory and racist comments about the protesters.
In response to these vile statements, I sent out an urgent communication to the University community expressing both my embarrassment about the posts and my pride in our students, who, through their rights of assembly and freedom of speech, show that they care deeply about creating an inclusive environment, not just on our campus but in our country and world. At the same time, I noted that speech, even hateful and disrespectful speech, can be protected by the First Amendment. At a town hall meeting following these events, students discussed the campus climate and urged the campus to develop ways to increase cultural awareness on campus. During the closing weeks of the semester other senior administrators and I have been meeting with student groups to find constructive ways to address their concerns. We will continue these meetings in the spring semester.
One person who will be working to make the campus more inclusive is our new ombudsman, Bathabile Mthombeni. The ombudsman plays an important role on campus, providing independent, confidential and impartial counseling and support for individuals on campus who have concerns or grievances. Mthombeni brings a great deal of experience to campus — having previously served as an instructor of dispute resolution at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and as the founder and principal for Untangled Resolutions, a private mediation, negotiation and conflict management firm. Significantly, Mthombeni has also served on the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board and has served as associate university ombuds officer for Columbia University.
Concerns about inclusivity and personal safety also are driving SUNY's recently announced statewide uniform policy to combat sexual assault, announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Chancellor Nancy Zimpher this past October. Under the terms of the new policy, consent must be "clear, knowing and voluntary." Other provisions of the policy include amnesty for those reporting assaults with regard to other actions, such as alcohol use, that violate our Student Code of Conduct. The new policy also provides for increased training for campus police and administrators, increases confidentiality protocols, and requires campuses to develop a climate assessment regarding prevalence and attitudes toward sexual assaults.
Significantly, Binghamton already has many of these policies in place, as you can read about in the Student Affairs section of this report. The interpersonal violence prevention coordinator provides programs and events designed to increase information and awareness for students, and the University Police provide more than 100 presentations each year focusing on campus safety, personal safety and self-defense.
Economic impact for the region and beyond
The University's community engagement also operates in the area of economic development. This quarter has seen several significant advances in this arena, beginning with the Southern Tier High Technology Incubator groundbreaking in downtown Binghamton. We had hoped to get construction under way this fall, but just as we were to go out to bid, we learned that one of our partners on this project, SUNY-Broome, was awarded an additional $6 million which allowed us add a third floor to the building. We are in the re-design phase now and hope to start full construction this coming spring. We see this as an ideal way to advance our technology transfer efforts and want to grow our own jobs. While this incubator will not exclusively be for University-related spin-offs, we do expect it to be the natural next step for research and development on campus to make its way into the private sector.
One of the University's missions is to provide space and expertise for discussions on subjects that impact the region. This fall, Binghamton held two such meetings that expressly related to economic development and the University's role in technology transfer. Earlier this month, we were pleased to have in attendance Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo and Assemblyman Clifford Crouch as the University hosted a special conference focusing on the NY Prize initiative — a $40 million competition to engage communities in advancing plans for local power microgrid infrastructure.
The goal of the initiative was to help communities reduce costs, promote clean energy, and build reliability and resiliency into the grid. This is important for us, since, as a modern university, the use and distribution of energy is one of our most critical administrative concerns. Each year we budget over $10 million for electricity, natural gas and other sources of energy, so anything we can do to reduce these costs means that these monies can be used to educate students and reduce the taxpayers' burden. As a charter member of the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment, the University has had a years-long commitment to reducing our carbon footprint. Over the years we have taken strong actions to reduce our energy use; for example, we are using LED lighting in our newest buildings, equipping them with geothermal heating and cooling, and continuously upgrading the components of our power plant.
A second conference this semester related more directly to the University's role in regional economic development. As part of the SUNY Business and Education Cooperative of the Southern Tier (SUNYBEST) program, we hosted a conference organized by the Empire State Development Division of Science, Technology, and Innovation (NYSTAR). NYSTAR is one of the leading granting agencies in New York state government, with its primary goal being to support scientific endeavors that contribute to the economic development of the region and state. For example, Binghamton has benefited from NYSTAR grants to support our Center of Excellence, our Center for Advanced Technology and the Southern Tier High Technology Incubator. These investments have supported the University's explorations into truly cutting-edge areas of research — areas such as solar energy and roll-to-roll thin film production, flexible electronics, next generation batteries, energy-use reduction, and nanomaterial manipulation and production. With a great turnout, the conference gave faculty and administrators a better idea of NYSTAR's agenda for the future, as well as an opportunity to network with people who shape the funding process.
Perhaps the biggest event of the quarter, at least in the realm of economic development and community impact, was the news that the Southern Tier Regional Economic Development Council (STREDC) was again a top winner in Gov. Andrew Cuomo's Regional Economic Development Council Awards ceremony, with the region receiving $80.8 million in funding for a wide range of economic development projects. The University itself will benefit in a significant way, as the STREDC proposal included $800,000 for the establishment of a Global Center on campus. This center will bring together many of the University's international programs and offices in one central location; these offices include the Office of International Programs, International Student and Scholar Services, Languages Across the Curriculum, the Dual Diploma Program with Turkey, Global studies, English as a Second Language, and the Confucius Institute of Chinese Opera. Space vacated by our Information Technology Service (ITS) in the Computer Center will be renovated, with spaces to provide for conferences, classrooms, and international resources. Design and prep work will begin in early 2015, with construction expected to begin by next fall.
Road Map to Premier
We are now in year two of the Road Map and have just concluded the submission period for proposals for 2016-17. By the submission deadline, we had received a total of 93 submissions from across the University, indicating that the campus community is very engaged in the Road Map proposal process. At first glance, there are a number of very good proposals, so the funding process will again be very competitive. Together, the submissions targeted all of the University's five strategic priorities, suggesting that the Road Map continues to be a valuable tool in helping move us toward our goal of becoming the premier public university. I recognize that organizing and developing these proposals is both complex and time-consuming, so I want to thank everyone for their continued work on behalf of the Road Map.
We are now deep into the implementation process. We recognize that the changes created by the Road Map, combined with the pressures of a growing campus, can occasionally make for bumpy transitions. Our goal this semester has been to identify and strengthen various supports that will allow us to achieve our strategic priorities with a minimum of disruption and upset. For example, with regard to Strategic Priority 1: Creative Activities, we have a system of supports that includes support for TAEs and new Organized Research Centers (ORCs), enhanced research space and increased faculty start-up support, among others. Similarly, some of the supports for SP2: Student Outcomes include more undergraduate research opportunities, improved advising and enhanced graduate stipends. We have developed a similar list of supports for each of the strategic priorities.
But the most important question regarding the Road Map is: "How do we know we are making progress?" We have been working with the Road Map Steering Committee to develop the right series of metrics that we can use to track our progress in reaching our strategic priorities. In the end, we have identified five metrics closely linked to the goals we want to achieve for each strategic priority. For example, under SP1: Creative Activities, some of the metrics we will be following include the number of doctorates awarded, the placement of our doctoral graduates, research expenditures, participation in interdisciplinary research and the national ranking of select graduate programs. Similar metrics have been developed for assessing progress in our other strategic priorities, e.g., the percentage of undergraduates receiving Pell grants, the number of study-abroad students and total University revenue. A full list of metrics can be found at online.
Finally, I want to take some time to recognize the achievements of our student athletes. These individuals give so much to the University community while excelling in their academic work. I especially want to congratulate the men's cross country team that recently won the America East championship, placing five runners in the top 21 at the November meet. Three runners, seniors Matt Johnson and Jesse Garn, along with sophomore Ethan Hausmann, were each named to the all-conference team. These individuals, and all the Bearcat athletes who compete on behalf of the University, compete with integrity and help raise our visibility.

Originally posted on Celtics Life | Last updated 6/27/13
After being traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, Doc Rivers sat down to talk with Jackie MacMullan. Doc professed his love for Beantown, saying "I always knew when I took the job with Boston that I would love the Celtics. I knew I would love the tradition and the players. But I had no idea how much I would fall in love with the city and the people in it. Honestly, I get emotional thinking about it. I will cherish every single moment I had in Boston." The cynic in me wonders why, if Rivers loves Boston so much, he's taking his talents to Tinseltown. However, I, too, will cherish Doc's tenure: the motivational speeches; frantic timeout calls; and championship Gatorade shower. It's sad to see Coach Rivers go after all the great memories, but I respect how genuinely he appreciates the city of Boston and its fans. Here's hoping that the C's new helmsman wins with class the way that Doc did. Follow Jacob on Twitter @TheReelJZ

The mystery of Revelation is unfolded by the Prophet, the Lord Jesus Christ. Revelation is based on the prophetic themes of the Old Testament and the development of those themes in the Olivet Discourse. This commentary integrates the book of Zechariah, most of the book of Daniel, and several chapters from other visionary prophets with the message of Revelation. The world is in the throes of the labor pains of the end times. Bible prophecy alludes to the nations that will be of worldwide concern during these times: England, the United States, Russia, Israel, and several Middle East nations. Persecution of Christians and Jews, terrorism, and Satanism are prophesied. The Scriptures tell of a Great Middle East War that will occur at the end of the Great Tribulation where weapons of mass destruction may be used. The relevancy of prophecy to the current world situation is discussed throughout this commentary. During his medical career, the author has studied internal medicine, geriatrics, and infectious diseases and been credentialed in these fields. He has published in scientific journals in the discipline of infectious diseases. His medical fellowships include the American College of Physicians, the American College of Physician Executives, and the American College of Healthcare Executives. He has held several administrative positions at an executive level. He has published in Christian periodicals on the subject of "Medicine and the Scriptures" and authored a prior book, The Twelve Generations of the Creation with Biblical Timelines from Adam to Christ (Longwood, FL: Xulon Press, 2007). He is a past Dean of a Christian medical school. He has served on several boards of churches and Christian organizations. He has taught group Bible studies for over four decades. In order to better understand the Bible, he has studied Hebrew and Greek.

Brendon Kinney, 18, and 17-year-old Colleen Furr carried out the attack last April after hearing rumours the semi-detached house belonged to a paedophile.
In fact, the house in Aspley, Nottingham, belonged to Lisa Holmes and had nothing to do with anybody who had been convicted of child sex offences.
The attack happened when Kinney broke a kitchen window to the house with a brick before Furr opened a bottle of white spirit left on the window sill and poured half the bottle in to the property.
Kinney then ignited the white spirit with a lighter.
At Nottingham Crown Court today, Kinney and Furr admitted one charge of arson with intent to endanger life and damage property.
Granting them bail until they are sentenced, Mr Justice Saunders told the pair: "I am not giving you any impression that there will be anything other than a custodial sentence."
Kinney, of Minver Crescent, Nottingham, and Furr, of Dulvaton Vale, Nottingham, will be sentenced on September 25 at Nottingham Crown Court.Reuse content

WHAT TO DO: 16 top family adventures around Seattle
1. Pike Place Market
1501 Pike Place • Free to browse
"It's the soul of the city," Market historian Alice Shorett has said of Seattle's 107-year-old Pike Place Market. From the fish throwers, buskers and Hmong flower sellers in the open-air market to the kitschy magic and comic shops that burrow beneath, the market is all color and chaos. Enjoy the traditional highlights —visit the gum wall, watch cheese being made at Beecher's and picnic at view-rich Victor Steinbrueck Park. But find your own new favorite corners, too.
Pair with: A walk to the whimsical, unconventional Seattle Public Library's Central Library (1000 Fourth Ave.). Then, a few blocks away, be whisked to the top of the Sky View Observatory on the 73rd floor of the Columbia Center, the tallest viewing area open to the public west of the Mississippi (701 5th Ave., $9–$12.50; kids 5 and under, free).
2. Pioneer Square
100 Yesler Way • Free to browse
Seattle's National Historic District is a compact treasure hunt of a neighborhood, with a hidden garden (Waterfall Garden Park, 2100 Second Ave. S.), art galleries, sunny plazas and a gem of a free museum, the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park (319 Second Ave. S.). Pick up a self-guided walking-tour brochure, or, if you have older kids, pay for the well-worth-it Underground Tour (608 First Ave., no strollers or high heels), which takes visitors on a zany, fact-packed historical jaunt below ground through 19th-century Seattle.
Pair with: Coffee and treats at Zeitgeist Coffee (171 S. Jackson St.), across from the Klondike museum; a spin through grandly restored King Street Station (303 S. Jackson St.); and a stop at Milepost 31 (211 First Ave. S.), a free information center that tells the anything-but-boring tale of Seattle's Highway 99 tunnel project.
3. Wing Luke Museum
719 S. King St. • $8.95–$12.95; ages 5 and under, free; free on first Thursday and third Saturday • 206-623-5124
The nation's only museum dedicated to the Asian Pacific American experience, the Wing is housed in a historic, multilevel, light-filled building in the International District that began its days as a hotel where new Asian immigrants stayed. Admission includes a 45-minute guided tour of the hotel and the Yick Fung Company store — if you have older kids, do not miss it.
Pair with: Uwajimaya (600 Fifth Ave. S.), the huge Asian grocery-department store selling trinkets, anime and exotic produce, plus an epic food court; the Danny Woo International District Community Garden (620 S. Main St.), where the elderly and children garden side by side; and the Pinball Museum (508 Maynard Ave. S.), with 53 pinball machines ready for play.
4. Seattle Center
305 Harrison St. • Prices vary • 206-684-7200
The city's arts-and-entertainment hub, built for the 1962 World's Fair, can keep an adventurous family busy for a week. Start with the Pacific Science Center (planetarium, dinosaurs, butterfly house and a super-cool spy exhibit through Sept. 1) and continue on to the Frank Gehry–designed EMP Museum (one-of-a-kind science fiction and fantasy artifacts, music-making galore). Hungry? Refuel at the Armory's foodie court: Try Eltana Bagels or Bean Sprouts Café. Sunny day? Splash amid whooping kids at the 137-jet International Fountain or admire the shredders at the Seattle Center Skate Park. Rainy day? Settle in at the super-interactive Children's Museum. Ready to splurge? Head to the tippy-top of the Space Needle or to the inventive displays at Chihuly Garden and Glass. Tip: Check the Seattle Center website for free international festivals, concerts and movies.
Pair with: The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Visitor Center — across the street from EMP Museum — for inspiring mini-lessons on global challenges (440 Fifth Ave. N., free). Every kid should pick up the 16-pound bucket of water and consider what it's like to walk several miles with it (or even several steps).
5. Museum of History & Industry
60 Terry Ave. N. • $12–$14; kids 14 and under, free; free on first Thursday • 206-324-1126
From knee-high-level programs to its truly awesome digs in the Moderne-style Naval Reserve Armory, the new MOHAI has made history more relevant than ever. Kids can hand crank iconic Seattle artifacts, "hammer" railroad spikes to simulate the transcontinental railroad project and get a 360-degree view of Lake Union through a periscope from a World War II–era submarine. A new exhibit on chocolate should be a sweet draw (June 14–Sept. 28, with tastes!).
Pair with: Lunch at MOHAI's Compass Café; run through the fountains at Lake Union Park; or sail from the Center for Wooden Boats (free boat rides on Sundays). Next, hop on the Seattle Streetcar for downtown destinations.
6. Volunteer Park
1247 15th Ave. E. • Free
A 107-step water tower with one of the best free views in the city; a recently updated playground and large wading pool; a conservatory that's a tropical refuge on cold, wet days; lily ponds and old-growth trees: You've struck it rich with a visit to this 48-acre city oasis in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. It's worth a pop into the wonderful Seattle Asian Art Museum, also located in the park, if only to admire the gorgeous Art Deco architecture (free on first Thursday or Saturday, with family programs).
Pair with: For Bruce Lee fans, a stop at Lee's gravesite in next-door Lake View Cemetery. For lunch, nosh at homey Volunteer Park Cafe (1501 17th Ave. E.); or pick up picnic food at gourmet general store Cone and Steiner (532 19th Ave. E.).
7. The Seattle Great Wheel
Pier 57 • $8.50–$13; ages 3 and under, free • 206-623-8607
As a special outing, it's hard to beat a few rotations in a glass-bottom gondola on Seattle's two-year-old, 175-foot waterfront Ferris wheel. Follow the wheel's Facebook page for updates on summer light shows, which you can check out for free as you wander the kitschy-fun waterfront. Pier 57 also offers a vintage carousel and an arcade.

8. Olympic Sculpture Park
2901 Western Ave. • Free • 206-654-3100
Get a big dose of art, nature and views at Seattle Art Museum's spectacular waterfront park. Pose your kids against the backdrop of sculptures such as Anthony Calder's Eagle as you wander down the pedestrian paths that connect the upper park to the waterfront. Don't miss the greenhouse–nurse log installation called Neukom Vivarium or two new installations, a dramatic 46-foot-tall sculpture titled Echo and an interactive sound sculpture by Trimpin.
Pair with: Beachcombing at the sculpture park's small beach; on low-tide days volunteer naturalists are there for starfish education. Or walk or bike on the scenic Elliott Bay bike-and-pedestrian trail at the bottom of the park.
9. Woodland Park Zoo
750 N. 50th St. • $11.75–$18.75; ages 2 and under, free; $2 discount for transit riders • 206-548-2500
With award-winning exhibits designed to mimic natural animal habitats, Woodland Park Zoo is home to more than 1,000 animals and 300 species. Charismatic megafauna such as lions, grizzlies and jaguars draw the crowds; but fascinating lesser-known species such as Komodo dragons, warthogs and sloths are worth seeking out. In the summer kids can pet critters at the Family Farm; on rainy days, the indoor Zoomazium is a fun, wear-'em-out option. New this summer: two cheetahs, the fastest land mammals on the planet.
Pair with: Lunch a few blocks north at the super kid-friendly Phinney Market Pub & Eatery (5918 Phinney Ave. N.), starring gourmet pub food and a train table where kids can practice their sharing (or grabbing) skills.
10. Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture
University of Washington campus, 17th Ave. N.E. and N.E. 45th St. $7.50–$10; ages 4 and under, free; free on first Thursday • 206-543-5590
This wonderful small museum truly serves all ages, from show-stopping mastodon and sloth skeletons to a walk-inside volcano exhibit and a permanent exhibit about Pacific Rim cultures. Most weekends have family activities; this summer, don't miss an exhibit that spotlights some of the stars of its huge collections, such as a mammoth tusk recently found in the South Lake Union neighborhood.
Pair with: A University of Washington campus tour for teens and tweens; or kayaking and Mexican food at Agua Verde Café and Paddle Club (1303 N.E. Boat St.) a few blocks south of campus on Lake Union (go during off-hours and weekdays to avoid waits).
11. The Fremont neighborhood
N. 34th St. and Fremont Ave. • Free
Funky Fremont: Isn't it just like you to solve urban blight under a bridge by designing a troll? After climbing around the giant concrete-and-steel Fremont Troll under the Aurora bridge, visitors to the "center of the universe" should tour Theo Chocolate, the nation's only Fair Trade organic chocolate factory (3400 Phinney Ave. N.), and, on Sundays, browse the large, European-style Fremont Market (3401 Evanston Ave. N.). On a rainy day, shred (or watch) at Seattle's only indoor skate park (3500 Stone Way N.).
Pair with: Kite-flying at Gasworks Park (2101 N. Northlake Way), a green space with a cool story: In the 1970s, this former coal gasification plant was converted into a park with industrial art. It's about a half mile south of Fremont via the Burke-Gilman trail.
12. Hiram M. Chittenden Locks
3015 N.W. 54th St. • Free • 206-783-7059
See salmon run! The Ballard Locks, as it's called, is the link between saltwater Puget Sound and fresh-water Lake Union. Watch the boats move up and down through the locks as you make your way across the swinging walkways (leave the stroller behind) to eventually reach the fish ladder at the other end, where from June to October you can marvel at salmon fighting their way home. Look for free concerts on summer Sundays on the expansive lawns of the park.
Pair with: Ballard, a hipster haven a few blocks east. Browse the lively Sunday farmers market; splash or skate at Ballard Commons Park (5701 22nd Ave. N.W.); and try out a board game or two at Card Kingdom (5105 Leary Ave. N.W.), with next-door Café Mox providing treats and table space.
13. Elliott Bay Book Company
1521 10th Ave. • Free to browse • 206-624-6600
Seattle's 41-year-old temple of books moved in 2010 from Pioneer Square to Capitol Hill's Pike/Pine corridor, helping cement the microhood's growing reputation as one of the most walkable and interesting in Seattle. Cozy up in the children's section or in one of the comfy reading chairs sprinkled throughout the wood-paneled, spacious building.
Pair with: A scoop at Molly Moon's (917 E. Pine St.); a banh mi or other super sandwich at Baguette Box (1203 Pine St.); and people watching, chess playing and wading at Cal Anderson Park (1635 11th Ave.), voted by Forbes.com in 2009 as one of the nation's best parks (the area can be sketchy after dark, though).
14. Alki Beach Park
1702 Alki Ave. S.W. • Free • 206-684-4075
Alki is Seattle's answer to California, with a long beach strip, a wide pedestrian-bike path, a stunning view of Seattle's skyline and all the beachy fun you'd expect: volleyball games, inline skaters, kids digging to China. A fun outing is to start downtown, take the King County Water Taxi to Seacrest Park and bike the flat two miles to Alki.
Pair with: Classic fish-and-chips at Spud Fish & Chips (2666 Alki Ave. S.W.); or pork sliders at stupendously yummy Marination Ma Kai (1660 Harbor Ave. S.W.) at Seacrest Park.
15. The Museum of Flight
9404 East Marginal Way S. • $11–$19; ages 4 and under, free; free on first Thursday • 206-764-5720
Located in a south-of-downtown Seattle neighborhood that's a hub of industrial activity (trains, planes, big trucks), this museum thrills transportation-crazy kids before they even arrive. Take a spin in a flight simulator, peer at a Blackbird (the world's fastest spy plane) and the original jet-powered Air Force One, and tour the only full-scale mockup of the space shuttle orbiter astronauts used in training (make online reservations for a space shuttle tour).
Pair with: The funky-artsy neighborhood of Georgetown, minutes away. Pose with the famous Hat 'n' Boots sculpture in Oxbow Park (6430 Corson Ave. S.); shop for treasures at the Georgetown Trailer Park Mall (5805 Airport Way, open weekends); or sample Georgetown's historic brewing tradition at the Machine House Brewery (5840 Airport Way S.), which welcomes kids and outside food.
16. Columbia City neighborhood
Along Rainier Ave. S., between S. Orcas St. and S. Genesee St. • Free to browse
Take the light rail a few stops south of downtown to explore this walkable community that's part of the nation's most diverse zip code (98118). Play or swim at Genesee Park on Lake Washington. Shop for two-wheelers at Bike Works (3709 S. Ferdinand St.), a unique nonprofit that teaches kids to fix up and sell used bikes, or for toys (and a haircut!) at Retroactive Kids (4859 Rainier Ave. S.). At lunchtime, head straight to Tutta Bella (4918 Rainier Ave. S.) for superb wood-fired pizza, huge fresh salads and wine.
Pair with: A visit to nearby Seward Park, one of Seattle's most extraordinary natural areas, with a swimming beach, old-growth trees, a nature-themed playground and excellent Audubon Center.

What to eat: 5 Seattle food adventures
Are you a vegetarian? Asian food aficionado? Fish-and-chips fanatic? Seattle's vibrant, cross-cultural culinary scene has it all. Here's a family-friendly must-nosh checklist.
MORE: Seattle insider tips, What to do in Seattle, Amazing adventure giveaways
1. Play-full cafés
Why: Because sometime the kid mosh pit is your salvation — and Seattle has loads of cafés with play spaces.
Find it: Vios, a pair of restaurant cafés on Capitol Hill (903 19th Ave. E.) and in the Ravenna neighborhood (6504 20th Ave. N.E.), combines delectable Greek food with toy-packed play areas that keep kids busy. Cafe Flora in Madison Park (2901 E. Madison St.) offers some of the city's best vegetarian food in a gardenlike setting with a play area. In the middle of Seattle's vibrant Queen Anne neighborhood, Twirl Cafe (2111 Queen Anne Ave. N.) boasts a large jungle-themed play space for kids ages 9 months to 6 years (small fee to play, some free play times) and a decent meal/coffee/wine menu. (See more restaurants and cafés with play areas at parentmap.com/cafes.)
2. Awesome Asian
Why: Seattle's hundreds of Asian eateries — serving everything from dim sum to dumplings to conveyor-belt sushi — allow families to dip into wide-ranging Pacific cultures.
Find it: Try a kaiten sushi spot — such as Blue C Sushi (located in Alderwood Mall, downtown Seattle, Bellevue, Fremont, Southcenter, University Village) — for a small-plate meal that's instant and entertaining as only conveyor-belt cuisine can be; Swish Swish (14603 N.E. 20th St.) in Bellevue for Japanese hot pot; or Din Tai Fung in Bellevue (700 Bellevue Way N.E.) and Seattle's University Village (2621 N.E. 46th St.) for legendary, Taipei-style dumplings. In the International District, try Shanghai Garden for barleygreen handshaven noodles (524 6th Ave. S.) and Jade Garden for dim sum (424 7th Ave. S.).
3. Go fish
Why: Grilled Copper River salmon, Dungeness crab cakes, mahimahi tacos, fish-and-chips . . . should we go on?
Find it: Pike Place Market's Steelhead Diner (95 Pine St.), serves Market-inspired seasonal cuisine, sustainable seafood and views. Chinook's at Fisherman's Terminal (100 W. Nickerson St.) dishes fresh catch, family-friendly style and an entertaining setting (boats, trains!). Head north to Edmonds for the ultimate, kid-friendly seafood experience: Anthony's Beach Cafe (456 Admiral Way) offers patio dining — sunset views, ferry and boat watching — with a long sandbox for kids to play in.
4. Gourmet pizza, please!
Why: Wood-fired pizzerias are booming in the Emerald City, pleasing both plain-pizza–loving kids and their foodie parents.
Find it: Tutta Bella, with five locations (Crossroads Bellevue, Columbia City, Issaquah, Wallingford, Westlake), is a winner, from the Wikki Stix handed to kids to perfect pies. Seek out Veraci's inventive pies at farmers markets or its cozy Ballard location (500 N.W. Market St.). Foodie families with older kids should check out Tom Douglas' Serious Pie downtown (316 Virginia St.) or nationally famous Delancey in Ballard (1415 N.W. 70th St.).
5. I scream, you scream . . .
Why: In a mere five years or so, Seattle's gourmet ice cream scene has boomed.
Find it: With six locations, Molly Moon's (Ballard, Capitol Hill, Madrona, Queen Anne, U Village, Wallingford) is the queen of the gourmet ice cream craze. If you'd like an old-school pinball game and new-school microbrew with your scoop, Full Tilt is the place for you (Ballard, Columbia City, U District, White Center). Other standouts include Bluebird Microcreamery and Brewery (Capitol Hill, Fremont, Phinney Ridge) or Fainting Goat Gelato (1903 N. 45th St.) in Wallingford.

"Start off by complimenting Kansas State," Stoops said. "Congratulating them on a well played football game. The guys really, which they have been doing and everyone knows, played hard, played well. Executing in a big football game."
The Wildcats were the beneficiaries of miscue after miscue by the Sooners, and in large part, off the hands of signal caller Landry Jones.
In the first half, Jones coughed one up and K-State linebacker Jarell Childs picked it up for a 1-yard touchdown return.
Later in the first half, Jones wildly missed wide receiver Trey Metoyer outside the left side of the end zone on what would have been an easy touchdown.
That came after he earlier threw errantly behind tight end Brannon Green on OU's first scoring drive, or it could have cashed in six.
"We played really dumb football, me especially...this one was on me," Jones said.
Mixed in all that, though, was quarterback Blake Bell's botched snap on a first-and-goal play at the 1 that K-State picked up and took over, avoiding any damage on that possession.
But it didn't stop there.
Deep in the third quarter with OU seemingly starting to take control of the game despite owning just a 13-10 lead, Jones fired off his back foot and found not Crimson and Cream, but instead a white and royal purple jersey of defensive back Ty Zimmerman for a costly interception.
"The fumble, the pick, missed Moose on the tight end pop-up play," Jones said. "A lot of different plays left up to me."
That set up K-State's eventual go-ahead score, a 5-yard touchdown rush by quarterback Collin Klein, early in the fourth quarter.
K-State made it 24-13 with just 7:27 remaining when running back John Hubert sprinted nine yards to pay dirt.
But the Sooners even still had their chances.
Jones took the Sooner offense 65 yards on 10 plays in 3:14 and brought them to within 24-19 on a 10-yard pass to freshman wide receiver Sterling Shepard with 4:09 to go.
OU elected not to onside and it looked destined to pay off, but it could not hold on a third-and-11 play in which Klein found his wide receiver Tramaine Thompson for 12.
"They kind of worked us on third down and that kept drives going," said OU defensive coordinator Mike Stoops.
With one last gasp, Klein rushed for five on third-and-3 to ice it inside the 2-minute mark as the Sooners were without a timeout thanks to calling one before their earlier 2-point conversion play.
"We were fighting all night to get them in an uncomfortable situation," Mike said. "I thought they played the game at their tempo most of the night. They know how to plaly and we just couldn't get control of the game the way we wanted to."
All in all, the Sooners committed three turnovers, while in a hostile environment, the Wildcats were poised, took care of the ball and committed none.
Not too surprisingly, OU actually out-gained K-State 386-362 and still came up short because of those turnovers and also a couple costly penalties.
"You do those things to yourself, though," said OU co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel. "You play behind; you don't take advantage of opportunities when you've got them; you put yourself in the negative situations where you are playing behind the chains--those are all things that we really did to ourselves. It was just a lot of situations that we could be a lot better."
Shepard led the way with seven catches for 108 yards and a touchdown, and Jones finished 28-for-43 for 298 yards and a touchdown, plus the fumble and interception.
OU only amassed 88 total yards on the ground, with running back Dominique Whaley picking up 51 of those.
"We could be more consistent and stay on the field," Bob said. "We've got a lot to work on, obviously."
For K-State, Klein finished 13-of-21 for 149 yards, but he was hugely efficient, hitting on several key third downs, including the one late.
Hubert ran for 130 yards and a score on 23 carries.
The Sooners (2-1, 0-1 Big 12) now head into their second bye week before heading to Texas Tech in two weeks, while K-State (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) also takes a week off before welcoming Kansas to Manhattan.

In a week when it was discovered that two thirds of the 2 million undocumented immigrants deported from the US under the Obama administration had committed only minor infractions or had no criminal record, the Guardian traveled from the forests of Washington to detention centres in Tijuana, in order to allow some to share their stories.
Reporter Rory Carroll and photographer Felix Clay met migrant workers who make their living picking salal and mushrooms in Forks, Washington; those workers described being hunted by Border Patrol agents as the town's residents reported a general feeling of unease.
In Tacoma, a handful of the 34,000 undocumented migrants in detention facilities spoke of being treated like criminals despite having no criminal record.
And in Tijiuana, where some 60,000 undocumented migrants were deposited last year, detainees reeled from their traumatic experiences.
Mexican nationals comprised 65.5% of the 368,644 deportees last year, creating a thorny situation for the US government and difficulties for thousands of migrant families struggling with poverty, single parenthood and a loss of identity.
Carroll joined Maru Mora of Latino Advocacy Friday to discuss the reporting and the issues at stake. Read the transcript below and explore the series:
Explore the series
• The backward trek from Washington to Mexico
• 'They put me in shackles. Why? I'm not a criminal'
• 'Stuck in Tijuana hoping for a miracle: the deportees with nowhere to go'
Discussion transcript and highlights
Question for Rory Carroll: Can you tell us more about how border patrol efforts have impacted local economies and small communities in Forks, Washington?
The Border Patrol devastated the latino community. It's about half what it was - hundreds fled south, beyond BP reach. Those that remain are anxious. Local schools, trailer parks, salal merchants and stores are suffering.
Question for Maru Mora: Can you please tell us more about efforts in Mexico by local and national authorities to support deportees, and reinsertion?
There are no real support efforts in Mexico for those that are deported. I just received a call from a person deported arriving in Mexico City. He told me is lucky because he has family there. He lost his 3 children to the state and is trying to come back to gain custody again.
Question for Rory Carroll: What are the most important things that the admin can do quickly to provide relief?
One measure would be to expand the pool of judges who hear immigration cases so people who are resisting deportation don't sit in detention centres for months and years waiting to argue their case. It's nuts that there are thousands of underemployed Border Patrol agents and way too few judges. Another way to humanise the system is to oblige Ice and Customs and Border Protection to notify families when they detain someone. Many of the deportees I interviewed in Tijuana said they hadn't had a chance to talk to families since being scooped up. Imagine the impact on a child when Dad goes out to work and vanishes for days, maybe weeks, before discovering what's happened.
Question for Rory Carroll: Rory, any key takeaways from your reporting? You had the numbers in front of you and went and humanized the story, but what else did you learn from this trip?
I learned that marginalised families are being snagged and pulled apart by a system impelled by bureaucratic and political inertia. I'm not unbiased on the subject. I'm Irish, and our history has been one of emigration and having a tough time, at the beginning, on foreign shores. Yes the US needs to control the flow. But this broken system needlessly punishes families. I respect and admire the courage of those who build better lives here against the odds.

May 7, 2013 at 8:42 pm #1302683

A brook trout I pulled out of the Kearsarge Lakes many years ago…
I have a good deal of experience fly fishing. I used to be quite a junkie, actually, getting up at 3AM every weekend, even just to fish for tiny trout in tiny streams.
After many years, I got tired of it and slowed down…
I expanded from targeting trout to chasing steelhead and salmon in Northern CA. I did that for a few seasons, but living in SoCal, I can't do it often. And it's expensive.
So I moved into saltwater fly fishing in the surf. Perch, croaker, shark, but mainly targeting corbina. No offense to the freshwater fly fisherman, but pound for pound, the corbina has to be one of the fastest fish alive. I've never come across anything like it in freshwater. It's not uncommon to nearly get spooled by one in less than 30 seconds on a 6-7wt. setup. Sink tips, shooting heads, giant flies, and horrendous wind…saltwater is a whole different beast. I've spent more time fly fishing saltwater than anything else.
But out of all of it, my overall favorite fishing was in tiny streams for tiny fish. Getting into stalker mode, doing very "quiet" fishing in tiny local canyons and areas that nobody else fished. My favorite rod is a 7'6" with 2 wt line. I actually had a wine bottle holster for my belt and would stand barefoot in summer streams all day…A bona fide fish-chasing drunken Zen lunatic.
And then I just got tired of chasing fish. And then I got to thinking a lot. And I got tired of harassing fish for fun. I started to seriously question the ethics of catch and release. (I now spearfish in the ocean. I only spear what I will eat)
And I quit fly fishing. It's been a few years now.
And now it's calling me again. I miss sitting and tying flies. I miss walking quietly in streams. My father (who is no longer alive) taught me to fish. I miss fishing with him. Those were good times, good memories, and very much a part of why I don't want to turn my back completely on stream fishing. I think I'm looking to rekindle that connection with my children, to take them fishing in the High Sierra this season.
All of this is my roundabout way of saying that I'm thinking Tenkara is the answer.
I just want to fish. No fooling with tons of gear, line, flies, gadgets…
I think I'd be willing to fish again if I had a setup so simple and light that if I were inspired I could break it out at any small stream or lake in the Sierra and fish for a few minutes and move on. And Tenkara looks good for kids. I just took my son to some local casting pools and he enjoyed it quite a bit. But he was free of the nightmares of snagged backcasts, overhead branches and bushes, wind knots, and obstacles everywhere. I think Tenkara would be a sure bet for him in the Sierra.
I'm bummed I missed out on the Daiwa Soyokaze, I think that would've been my rod.
I'm looking for something that will be primarily for small fish. 12" would be epic where I'll fish for trout (local and in High Sierra lakes).
I don't need brand names.
Even with the ability to cast, all the trout I typically catch, at home and in the Sierra, are caught at 20' or less. So I'm not sure I need an 11' to 12' rod.
This line on the TenkaraBum site stood out:
"For a backpacking rod intended for larger trout, I would suggest the Shimano Kozuka. For a go-anywhere rod intended for micros, or at least relatively small fish, I would suggest the Kiyotaki."
I'm considering the 8'10" Kiyotake27 kids package at Tenkarabum for ~$100.
It seems like a good way to get into UL Tenkara for fairly cheap. This sounds like it could fit the bill for tiny High Sierra brookies and goldens.
Or the Daiwa Kiyose 27? It seems to be the slightly smaller brother of the old BPL Tenkara Hane.
So….?May 7, 2013 at 9:28 pm #1984299

I've never fished before. As a kid it looked boring sitting around a pond in a city park in Birmingham (not AL, the other one) waiting for something to bite. But I attended a presentation delivered by Daniel Galhardo recently and I liked the simplicity of tenkara equipment. Seems like the initial learning curve is easy enough for my young son and his internet-imposed ADHD dad to pick up quickly, yet offer plenty of room for growth to keep us challenged. I picked up a 12' TUSA Iwana a few weeks ago, and I'd like to take it out to the local creek soon before the snowmelt puts a temporary hiatus on activities. A potentially great father and son bonding activity. Yet exactly what you mentioned about the ethics of catch and release gives me pause.May 8, 2013 at 5:33 am #1984330

A short rod will make it easier to fish the willow tunnel creeks and the brush lined lakes.
You can always fish a longer line if you feel the need for reach. The challenge with a long line is playing the fish. As long as the fish heads away you can maintain control. When it runs to you and you can't lift the rod enough to keep the line tight you may lose the fish on the first jump or headshake (I fish barbless). If you are fast enough to gather the line as the fish comes to you, and can keep the line tight, you'll do ok. It is a fun dance. And usually short.
Unlike the Hane, the Kiyose (keiryu rods) have no cork on the handle, only a textured surface the diameter of the butt section. They feel amazingly small and light. Just casting will make you smile. But there is a picture somewhere with a 22" brown caught with a Soyokaze 27, so the rods are more than capable. Some are short when collapsed (16") but not all. Those pack well.May 8, 2013 at 6:53 am #1984347

Tenkara will make you feel like a kid again, have you wanting to miss work to spend your day fishing.
I have a Daiwa Sagiri I will send you "free" to get you started if your interested. You can read a review of this telescoping rod on the T Bum site.May 8, 2013 at 7:29 pm #1984639

Thanks for all the response everyone.
I'm thinking the Kiyose will work for me. I actually like the rods without cork handles; I'd want something as minimal as possible.

The words fall out of my mouth like gravel, like loose change spilled from worn-out pockets. I hadn't even meant to say them, really, they just tumbled out of their own accord. Funny how the body gets its' own ideas sometimes, overrides the brain, forces festering thoughts to the surface like a splinter out of the dermis. Out, out. It's for your own good.
The oddest expression has captured her face, eyes slightly wide, lips parted and twisted. She's about to reply but she can't find her words. She'd be shocked but she saw this coming. She'd be angry but she doesn't care enough. She'd be relieved, but she doesn't want to hurt me.
It's agony, waiting. It's the instant after falling, suspended, anticipating the impact of bruised wrists and skinned knees. A snake coiled to strike. Every analogy I've ever regretting making, looming over my head, ready to drop.
Her tongue brushes the tips of her teeth and there's the sound of breath escaping. My body is tensed in silent prayer, aching for a response, any response.
Rather a lifetime in hell than another moment in this limbo.

Chipolopolo boys arrive in Cape Verde
The Zambia National Football Team has arrived in Cape Verde ahead of this evening's Africa Cup qualifier against that country.
This is according to a latest FAZ face book positing.
FAZ says the match between Zambia and Cape Verde will kick off at 16-hours local time which is 19-hours Zambian time.
The Chipolopolo's departure for Cape Verde was delayed and the team left late last evening for today's game.
The Ministry of Sports has taken blame for the delay in the team's departure.
AND, football analyst MPONGA LIWEWE says Cape Verde Island is a very experienced team and the Chipolopolo needed to prepare adequately.
LIWEWE says the Cape Verde side is one of the top teams in Africa and has players who are well organised.
He has warned that last minute preparations may not work well for the Zambian team.
Meanwhile, LIWEWE says it is NOT wise for the Zambian coach to do away completely with the old players because the Zambian side is still in a transition stage.
He was speaking on TV2 news and current affairs segment of morning live ahead of the Zambia – Cape Verde match today scheduled for Estádio Nacional de Cabo Verde in Praia.

Kian's world, apart from the backwards names, is fairly normal. To me, anyway. There are differences, though. But I don't really notice them much.
I breathed in happily as soon as I left his tip of a room, enjoying the fresh air from the open window in the hallway. Once I was out of there, his house was a relaxing place to be in, with it's large, open rooms and beautiful decoration. His family are rich - which I suppose is an up-side to having him as an imaginary friend.
Yawning, he followed me out of his room.
"I still don't get that thing about the new kid."
I was about to reply when our moment's peace was interrupted abruptly by a voice from downstairs.
"Naik! Your breakfast has been prepared!"
Kian looked faintly irritated.
"Yes, mother." was his reply, as he headed for the stairs.
Kian's mother and father are both powerful businesspeople, who run a huge company together. This could partly explain how well he always does at school and how annoyingly antisocial he is. It doesn't stop him from dropping the polite act with me, though. Believe me, the company's clients who have met him would never believe what a pain he actually is.
We sat around the breakfast table as usual. Well, I stood. I hate the feeling of other people walking through me in his world, and didn't want to take the risk of someone sitting where I was.
"Now Naik, your father and I have a client visiting us today, so we'd like you to be presentable as always. But it also means that you'll need to sort out that room of yours..." Oh god, I thought. Here comes the daily morning rant. Kian's father clearly knew what was starting too, but he was sitting on the sofa reading his newspaper, keeping out of it.
"You don't have to show them my room" Kian's arguments were always calm but logical, and deadly serious as he always seems to be when he's in his own world.
"Well if the situation arose, it would be a total disgrace! All those posters-"
"We had a deal."
"We also had a deal about this little imaginary friend of yours, and I still hear you every now and again, talking to yourself! Seriously, Naik, I do worry for you, and your lack of co-operation with every single psychiatrist we hire is just terrible! Really, you just have no idea what we do to ensure your future..."
"And the company's future."
"For heaven's sake! You know that's not true!" She was getting all flustered over it, but Kian calmly stood up.
"I've finished my toast." he went to take the plate into the kitchen.
"No, sit down right now! Let the servants do it, I haven't finished speaking to you."
"I need to go to school."
"Ugh, that's the other thing, how you insist on going to that poor-person's school when we offered you so many options of private tutoring, and prestigious boarding schools..."
"Well, maybe I'll consider the boarding school."
With that, he left the room.
I'll hand it to him; he knows how to win an argument.

Curiosity Killed the Cat
The end of the honeymoon period was marked by a time when she left for a place where the sun always shined.
Before she departed for Norway, she met with him in the night on the dark street. She had a weight to lift off her chest. She told him her passion would starve being chained. She knew she never did well under confinement. She asked him if he would be interested in seeing other people over the summer. He didn't respond, his full blond hair covering his face. When he looked up, there were tears rolling down his cat green eyes.
"You think what we have is replaceable?"
And she was overwhelmed with dilemma. She never wanted to close a door on an opportunity that could lead to something better, but she couldn't close a door on something she wasn't exactly sure she was getting.
"If you find someone else over the summer, I wont be here when you get back." And he sealed her confinement. She thought of all his patience, all his respect and positive energy, and all the good he'd done for her. She could never close a door on something so wonderful. Kept in the naive, she was convinced she was getting the best. And she cried too.
She flew off to a Norway summer camp thinking of him nonstop. Every new activity she wished he were experiencing alongside her, every challenge she wished he were there to comfort her. She often cried alone in her bed wishing her were there. She missed his smile, his comfort, his eyes, his enthusiasm.
She distracted herself by throwing herself completely into the task of unifying everyone and making it a family. She brought people together through sports, crafts, hikes, and most of all singing. Then she met the other singer. His name was Carl.
There was no awkwardness about Carl. His flowing long dark hair and long stride made him look like a wizard. He hugged her before he had met her, no restraints. They sung together all the time in their own little world of harmonious tunes and connection. They took pride in their strange meeting places like the hammache, or under Carl's blanket cape to hold spontaneous discussions about the weird things mankind does. They brought out the weird in each other, among food fights and ballroom dancing, there was larping and sword play, carving stone and preforming improv. She was young again, she was free.
They talked for ages about everything and anything. They spent so much time together he could be telling a story, and she could stop him and describe the scene the way he pictured it without ever having seen it.
She promised herself he would become her best friend. He made that impossible.
They spent every moment together. In the rainy days of Norway every moment was filled with the sunshiney warmth of a great time.
One day they were lying the hammache together and she asked him how it was possible for him to be so happy all the time. His answer was he used to be depressed about everything, and then his parents got divorced. He realized there was no need to get upset about the things that didn't matter. His carefree lifestyle inspired her, and made her question the struggles she'd fight back at home side by side with her green eyed companion. She realized she didn't want to fight battles, she wanted to release the upset and focus on the good. In such a happy environment, it looked like Carl had all the answers. He had everything going for him.
He was the only guy who had successfully snuck out to the girls rooms without getting caught, and he did this frequently. But he would never come into her room, it was always the girls next door's room. It was here, hearing them laughing on the other side of the wall was she over come with the most overwhelming sense of longing.
She couldn't take the pain, and retreated to a small nook in the barn made cozy by blanket and pillows where she read her journal of crazy adventures and cried alone so confused. She couldn't love Carl, she was obligated to stay true to her man back home. All she wanted was a hug.
Either by fate or coincidence Carl walked into the barn. He pulled her to her feet, and walked her into the middle of the barn floor where he bowed, and clasped one hand around her waist, and interlocked his fingers with hers. Then they began to waltz.
In a magical moment where all problems are settled, she leaned in to embrace the comfort of distraction instead of talking her way through all discomforts.
From that moment on, a wave of happiness flooded her entire being every time Carl entered the room. Her eyes would flash in delight when he smiled at her, and he made her soul sparkle at even the faintest brush of her skin.
The guilt killed her inside. It drove her to tears. She loved the freedom and passion she felt around Carl. But she couldn't be sure to how much of that was due to her man back home. It could be a dillusion because she missed him and she was creating someone else. Or perhaps Carl fell for her because she was so much happy from being with someone back home. Or maybe it was because she wouldn't let herself love someone that she wanted it all the more.
She hated the uncertainty. She hated she couldn't be reminded about the things she loved about her man, that he wasn't there to defend himself. All she could think of were the parts she disliked. She could only see him as an obsticle in the way of her and Carl, and thinking that only worsened her guilt.
She had to end it. She pulled Carl into an empty room and spilled all her thoughts. She told him of her feelings, she told him of her confusion and her guilt over her boyfriend. And she cried telling him how hard it was to deal with and her proposal to distance each other.
The pain in his face caused her to feel like someone had stabbed her from the inside out. He told her he had feelings for her too, and was unaware of all the pain it caused her. He proposed to give her three days to go hiking and think about what she wanted where she wanted to take things.
The next three days she battled the uphills and cold water externally, and the conflicting emotions internally. On day one all she felt was loneliness. She felt empty without a companion. The day she felt conflicted. She missed the comfort of both laughing away pain, and talking through it. On the third day she decided in the long run, talking through problems is what gets things solved, and while Carl was a fun fling, they couldn't last.
Telling the news to Carl broke her heart a second time, and she doubted her choice. She was so confused about how to keep away pain. Then she heard the best advice:
Do what you want because you want to, not because you feel you have to.
And so she resolved to break away from them both and be free. Camp ended and she flew back home preparing herself for how to break the news to her other love.
As soon as she saw him she was reminded of all the things she missed most, and guilt ate her insides once more. How could she have chosen to leave this behind to fall for someone else?
Her guilt drove her to follow through what she had started, and she severed the healing ties once more. But they couldn't be severed. He refused. He told her he wanted to be there for her during her hard recovery. His unwavering loyalty brought ever more guilt.
Unfortunately, the problem with this increasing stack of guilt was it caused her extreme termoil inside, and she found herself uncomfortable with him. She had flung herself after a far away comfort and didn't deserve to receive such a devoted love.
To relieve the tension, or perhaps distance herself from it, she searched for excuses to lessen him down to a level equal to hers, or give reasons to distance the two. She became judgmental in the relationship, unraveling all he had done to satisfy her, and then she lashed out at him when he wasn't all she expected him to be. Worst of all, she compared him to Carl. She compared two different people under two different circumstances, during two times- one of satisfying struggle and one of extreme euphoria. And she favored the image that couldn't be altered from perfect.
By doing that, she not only fell out of love, but made his life increasingly unpleasant. Her venom was inserted into the relationship as well as both partners and all three slowly worsened.
