Turn Your Ferry Wait
into a #FerryWin!
Words by: Maya T.
Summer is in full swing, and we all know what that means right? ...epic tan lines, melted ice cream-faced children (or adults!), wicked festivals, rope swings, bonfires at the beach, and... ferry waits. Let's be honest, waiting at a hot ferry terminal is not necessarily the most enjoyable part of your next trip to the Sunshine Coast. But, never fear! With a dash of creativity, a pinch of imagination, a stomach satisfying treat or two, and a bit of patience (okay, a lot of patience!), you can turn that ferry wait into a ferry win. Here are our suggestions to get your trip started right with a #FerryWin!
Ferry Win #1 - Get caffeinated
If you recognize the importance of staying awake at the wheel, then you are going to love the caffeinated options the ferry terminals offer. If you are coming from the Vancouver direction and find yourself at the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal, be sure to head down and check out the village in Horseshoe Bay for a veritable medley of coffee and delicious snacks and drinks. Many of the other Sunshine Coast terminals have yummy treats as well, but it's never a bad idea to pack a snack bag, and have your own picnic while waiting!
Ferry Win #2 - Reconnect with your travel partners
A ferry wait is a perfect opportunity for laughter and connection with your fellow vagabonds. Why not use this time to play some games like "20 questions", "Never Have I Ever", and "If you could…". You have probably heard of the first two games, but here is a quick rundown of the third: "If you could…" is simply a fill in the blank game. You take turns asking each other "If you could" questions, such as "If you could only eat one kind of food for the rest of your life, what would it be?" or "If you could only choose one word to say for the rest of your life what would it be?". Let the games begin!
Ferry Win #3 - Enjoy the greenspace!
One of the biggest bonuses of the ferry terminals is that each one has a great greenspace to act as a little oasis away from the sauna that your car has probably turned into. Pack a blanket or a towel and check out the grasslands, or explore the piers and beaches located at a few of the terminals. Chances are you don't want to spend the entire wait time in your car, so the greenspaces provide the perfect opportunity to get out, stretch your legs, and enjoy the fresh air!
Ferry Win #4 - Make last minute additions to your travel plans
Now, chances are that if you have already made the conscious decision to travel to the Sunshine Coast, you probably already have some plans made. Areas you want to visit, restaurants you want to eat at, or places you want to stay. But if you find yourself stuck in the ferry line on the way to your adventure, why not take the time to put together an actual vacation bucket list! Or, if you have just finished your vacation and are waiting to head home, then this would be the perfect time to compile a list of all the things you didn't get to do and would like to the next time you come. To help tickle your bucket list brain waves, here are a few of the favourite excursions the Sunshine Coast offers:
•Visit beaches….all the beaches! Not only is the Coast hugged by the ever loving and affectionate Pacific Ocean, but it also houses a huge multitude of pristine lakes perfect for families…or those who are looking for perhaps a slightly warmer aquatic experience.
•Adventure outside. Regardless of season, the Sunshine Coast is a mecca of play. Whether you prefer diving with the fishies or cruising on a bike, guaranteed there is something here to keep you occupied to your hearts content!
•Try something new. The Sunshine Coast has a lot to offer that is unique to the area, or maybe something you have always heard of but never tried. Ever taken a burlesque class? Yep, we have that here. Ever night paddled in bioluminescence? Yep, got that too. How about taken a ride on a float plane? No, never done that? Well you're in luck, because we got that too! C'mon, be wild and crazy! You know you want to.
Ferry Win #5 - Get out the camera
Half the fun of going on vacation is making all your friends and family jealous by posting killer photos. It's not hard in this corner of the world to capture that stunning shot, and each terminal is photogenic in its own right. Waiting for the ferry is the perfect time to grab a terminal selfie or prep your gear for that top deck photo of a lifetime.
Ferry Win #6 - Relax!
Whether you're at the start of your trip or the end, you might as well take those few extra minutes (or hours...) to just sit back and relax.
• Be crafty – ie. Bring something to keep your hands busy. Knitting, sewing, rubiks cube.
• Read a book – you're on vacation, so you have no excuse not to read that book that has been sitting on your nightstand far too long
• Get a tan – hey, there are no rules that say you can't lay on the top of your car and get some rays
• Write a note, or letter – as much as I am sure your friends love getting emoji laden texts, why not bring back the tradition of sending postcards from your travel destinations
Hopefully this was at least a little helpful for all you travelling spirits. May the wind be at your back, or in your sails, or shoving the ferry along just as fast as that little engine could. Share your #FerryWin with us:

A Sunny Disposition at the
Gibsons Landing Jazz Festival
Words & Photos: Maya T.
You know how the saying goes: "Sun's out, drums out….unless it's pouring rain in which case the drums are out anyways but accompanied by a whole plethora of other musical devices". What's that? That's not how the saying goes? Sorry, you have been tragically misled then, because I'm pretty sure that's what they say. At least, that's what everyone who braved the rain to attend the Gibsons Landing Jazz Festival would say.
The sound of jazz music could be heard streets away as I parked my car and proceeded to stroll down to the festival dressed like a Bering Sea fisherman trying to hold my umbrella in one hand and taking pictures with the other. I was pleased to see that despite the less than ideal weather the turnout for the event was actually quite good. This can only be a reflection of the immense talent to make an appearance, and innate ability of that smooth, sexy saxophone to lure in even the fair-weather ducks.
I arrived just as the group called Silk Road Music – an inter cultural mix of styles – was finishing up their performance on the main stage. Their eclectic and truly sound of Chinese, Spanish, and Jazz music was the perfect entrance as I was met by an excited and crowd of people all huddled together out of the rain under various tents. Everyone took turns attending to the vital job of poking the undersides of the tents to ensure the accumulating puddles of water didn't douse any people (or instruments!) with an unwanted shower. Thankfully we had a few stilt walkers to keep an eye on the skies, and provide a truly authentic Sunshine Coast feeling.
Also on the main stage was the Daniel Brubeck quartet. Name sound familiar? Well, that's because Daniel's father, Dave Brubeck, is one the most famous and well-known jazz musicians of his time. Turns out, like-father like-son, because Daniel and his group turned out to be quite the crowd-pleasers! Watching a musician become so enthralled in their craft that they stop playing the music and the music starts playing them is one of my favourite sights to behold, and such was the case for all members of the Danial Brubeck quartet. For the entire time they held the stage it was like the rain didn't exist. All that existed was the sweet rhythm…
Speaking of the music playing the musician, I have perhaps never seen this so personified as when I watched The Carnival Band take the stage. I am inclined to believe that the rain only came down harder during their performance because it wanted to be closer to the magic. I was lucky enough to attend their concert at the Legion later that night as well, and all I can say is that what I saw there that night is life at its fullest, in as many forms as there were feathers on the boa of the trombone player. The evening concluded with the best surprise I could have never imagined. The extraordinary sousaphone player allowed me the honour of playing the final song with the band, the ultimate highlight!
The final day of the festival saw the sky clear up and the crowd grow in numbers. Visitors and locals - including a few furry friends - showed up with their lawn chairs to lounge on the hillside overlooking the marina while the Creek Big Band and their special guests "Definitely Diva" serenaded the eager audience. The sweet harmonies of the Divas, accompanied by the ever-lovely and talented Big Band, had the crowd bumpin' in their loungers. So, despite the deluge and the tent puddles and the dangerous wildlife, the Gibsons Landing Jazz Festival was a raving success. All of the invited musicians had the well-deserved chance to showcase their immense talent, and it was apparent that their audience was supremely grateful. This is what I love about music. It doesn't care what you look like, where you come from, what colour your rainboots are or whether your idea of dancing is simply running around with a grand ole smile on your face. Music erases the differences between us.
The Sunshine Coast is a vibrant destination, and there is always something new and exciting to experience. You can drive five minutes down the highway and see something completely different. And at events such as the Gibsons Landing Jazz Festival, you can walk five seconds in the other direction and hear something, see something, experience something different. So whether you are a local, a visitor, or a member of the local wildlife, be sure to check out the many events the Coast has to offer! Memories await you.

Picture Blog: Sunshine Coast Weekend
A weekend on the Sunshine Coast of BC can take many forms, but my favourites usually involve good friends, sunshine, water, trees, yummy food and delicious beer. Here's a quick photo blog to share some of that Coastal goodness!
Fresh off the ferry on a Friday afternoon, the first order of business is sunset paddleboard session off Davis Bay. We rented paddleboards from Alpha Adventures who delivered them to the beach for us.
Our sunset paddle made for growling stomaches, so we followed up with dinner at the Gumboot Restaurant in Roberts Creek & a tasty beer from one of the Sunshine Coast's craft breweries, Townsite Brewing. (Photo courtesy Townsite Brewing)
The next day was the perfect day to hike to Skookumchuck Narrows. Though our timing didn't work out to view the rapids at their finest, the inter-tidal life and scenery was nonetheless spectacular.
All good visits to the Sunshine Coast should involve sunsets, in my humble opinion. Rarely a disappointment, and most often a breathtaking delight.
Whether for a quick getaway or a month long stay, the Sunshine Coast is a place to unwind, relax, and reconnect; with friends, with nature, and often the most needed--with yourself.

The Army's investigation into the string of suicides among Houston-based recruiters found that poor leadership, job-related stress, personal matters and medical problems all contributed to the deaths. The two and a half month probe cited relevant factors, including the command climate. Brigadier General Dell Turner led the Army's official investigation.
"There was no single cause for all these things, but all of them suffered from challenges in their personal lives, I would say. The command climate challenge was something that we saw over the course of time, over a period of years, but I wouldn't say the command climate was a relevant factor in all of the suicides."
Last week, a "stand-down" day was held for all units in the recruiting command. A training and education program was conducted to help recruiters learn how to deal with the stresses of the job. Sgt 1st Class Oscar Castro knew one of the recruiters. It was reported that Sgt. Larry Flores was berated for failing to meet a quota.
"On a business end of things I talked to him, talked about recruiting, but I identified myself with him, being married, having kids, having the pressures at home. They have issues to deal with and of course, it affects us all."
Sgt. Castro says it's not easy being a recruiter.
"A lot of fear of going to combat, a lot of fear of the unknown, because the Army is of course, intangible."
Hernandez: "So, you can't sugar-coat the fact that anything is possible when you tell somebody maybe you ought to consider a career in the military?"
Castro: "That's right, because we need to toughen them up, if in fact they're going to join the Army. We're the first people they meet, the first people that they see. The way we conduct ourselves is what their impression of what the Army's gonna be."
General Turner said he met with the families of the four recruiters before addressing the media.
"All of them were very appreciative they got the phone call before hand, but more so, they all expressed a desire that some good come out of these four tragic events. I am convinced that good is coming out of this."
Texas Senator John Cornyn had initially asked for an independent investigation.
"I'm satisfied with the report, but I think it's important from the perspective of a country that depends on an all-volunteer military for the Armed Services Committee to have a hearing, to ask some more questions, and perhaps explore the results of this investigation a little bit more."
Cornyn says he plans to attend a hearing by the Senate Armed Services Committee on the mental health of troops and on suicide prevention efforts.

Front bumper question
I have a grille guard and the basic OEM bumper, but am wanting to upgrade it. Is it possible to buy a new bumper and still keep my guard? Or do I have to get rid of the guard in order to obtain a really sturdy more aggressive looking bumper?
Depends on the bumper and you want to get and how the grill guard attaches. I bought a rock crawler style bumper and put my light bar on it.
im still using the stock bumper with the Genright stinger bar modded to work wit hthe stock bumper.
I'm looking at either an XHD front bumper or a warn bumper. I will put a pic of my front end tomorrow evening. I want to keep my grill guard, of which it seems like it sits on top of the bumper.
1 Attachment(s)
Ok, so here is a pic of my front bumper with the grille guard that came with it. And hopefully you'll all be able to see it correctly, thank you and I look forward to any advice. Also, I'm not sure if I want a front bumper with fog lights already in the bumper, like on the delta front bumper, or if I should just replace my fog lights, and of course move them more outwards.
32 Attachment(s)
it looks like the grill guard is only installed at the 4 bumper mount bolts. it will still fit with some other bumpers like this one:
Thank you Nicolas, that is good to know, as like I've mentioned before, I love my guard and would want to keep it if at all possible and just replace the bumper.
take off the milk jugs.cheap bumper upgrade.
Oh, damn. nevermind!:rolleyes:
Thank you alst for the input. What type of bumper would you recommend?
use stock bumper just take off the ugly jugs on the ends.real cheap upgrade.i had tow bar brackets and winch on mine and didn't want to change it all.
And your talking about the end caps correct? Just making sure I take off the right thing lol
Yea, then run to a local welding shop and have them close the ends in and the can re-enforce it too a little. Some black rattle can spray paint and you have a brand new bumper! Re-drill you lights to the outside of the grill guard or add in 2 more hehe.
I'm gonna have to replace the lights as right now they are right next to the actual grille bars, not inbetween like they should be. Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it
take a pic after you take them off please.
Man I wish you all lived closer to me. I could fix you up in about an hour. I agree with the jug removing. I have modified several of these by cutting the ends off at a 45 degree angle just past the frame rails and then capped them. They look really good and having them shorter, they don't get hung up on rocks which we have alot of in the Ca. mountains.
Ironman, looks like we need to get a roadtrip going and meet halfway :punk:. And also is that what you would recommend? Is to cut it off at a 45 angle? And yes I will take a pic of it when I'm done :D

Efficacy of a workplace relaxation exercise program on muscle tenderness in a working community with headache and neck pain: a longitudinal, controlled study
Eugenia ROTA 1, 2, Andrea EVANGELISTA 3, Manuela CECCARELLI 3, Luca FERRERO 1, Chantal MILANI 1, Alessandro UGOLINI 1, Franco MONGINI 1 ✉
1 Headache-Facial Pain Section, Department of Clinical Pathophysiology, University of Turin, Turin, Italy; 2 Neurology Department, Guglielmo da Saliceto Hospital, Piacenza, Italy; 3 Unit of Clinical Epidemiology, Città della Salute e della Scienza and CPO Piemonte, Turin, Italy
BACKGROUND: Pericranial muscle tenderness shows a remarkable prevalence not only in tension-type headache, but also in migraine, both episodic and chronic. Neck pain is a common disorder and leads to a high rate of work disability; its prevalence increases for headache.
AIM: This study aimed at examining the effects of a relaxation exercise programme on pericranial/cervical muscle tenderness in a working community with headache and neck pain.
DESIGN: This was a controlled, non-randomized trial.
SETTING: The study was carried out in a working community, on the employees of the City of Turin's central and peripheral registry and tax offices.
POPULATION: A total of 384 workers were enrolled and divided into two groups: a study group (group 1; 192 subjects) and a control group (group 2; 192 subjects).
METHODS: A programme, with relaxation/posture exercises and a visual feedback, was carried out for Group 1 for 6 months and, afterwards, also for group 2 for the same follow-up period throughout. Data on head/neck pain were collected. Standard palpation of pericranial and cervical muscles was done, scoring each patient for Pericranial Muscle Tenderness (PTS) (0-3), Cervical Muscle Tenderness (CTS) (0-3) and a Cumulative Muscle Tenderness (CUM) (0-6).
RESULTS: After 6 months from baseline, a significant difference was observed between the groups: i.e. group 1 had an average change from baseline of -0.19 for PTS, -0.2 for CTS and -0.36 for the CUM score – in association with a reduction in headache, neck and shoulder pain. The difference between the groups in PTS, CTS and CUM scores was no longer detectable at the end of the study, after also group 2 performed the programme.
CONCLUSIONS: The administration of a workplace relaxation exercise intervention significantly decreased pericranial/cervical muscle tenderness in the working community, in association with head-neck pain benefit.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: This relaxation exercise programme was remarkably cost-effective, yielding a relevant benefit on pericranial/cervical muscle tenderness in a working community, at a relatively low cost.

3. Nonparametric EBLUP (Opsomer et al., 2008)
In the literature there are many nonparametric regression methods (kernel, local polynomial, wavelets…) BUT difficult to incorporate in a Small area model
Methods based on penalized splines(Eilers e Marx, 1996; Ruppert et al., 2003) can be estimated by means of mixed models -> promising candidate for SAE methods

Exactly as pictured
The bedspread took a lot of time to get here but it was great. It was exactly as pictured and is both more than large enough and it's heavy enough to use in the winter as well. It is large enough in the queen size to almost touch the floor on both sides of my large bedframe as well as cover the pillows as a bedspread is supposed to. In short - it's perfect.

Mailman also integrates most things people want to do with mailing lists, including archiving, mail <-> news gateways, and so on. Documentation can be found in: /usr/share/doc/mailman-2.1.5 When the package has finished installing, you will need to perform some additional installation steps, these are described in: /usr/share/doc/mailman-2.1.5/INSTALL.REDHAT --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Fixes security issue CAN-2004-0412 noted in bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123559 Mailman subscriber passwords could be retrieved by a remote attacker. Security hole is fixed in mailman-2.1.5 Important Installation Note: Some users have reported problems with bad queue counts after upgrading to version 2.1.5, the operating assumption is this was caused by performing an install while mailman was running. Prior to installing this rpm stop the mailman service via: % /sbin/service mailman stop Then after installation completes restart the service via: % /sbin/service mailman start Red Hat RPM versions of mailman 2.1.5-6 and above have enhanced the init.d script that controls the mailman service so that "/sbin/service mailman status" now returns valid information. The RPM has been augmented to detect if mailman is running prior to installation and if so it will temporarily stop mailman during the install and restart mailman after the install completes. If mailman was not running the RPM will not start mailman after installation. Since the RPM depends on service status working the installed version of mailman you are replacing must be at least 2.1.5-6 for the automatic pausing of mailman during installation to work. This also means since this is the first RPM with this feature you will need to manually pause mailman during installation, future upgrades should be automatic. --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/1/ bff6400afb0f212e81ffb7a2e2b0e617 SRPMS/mailman-2.1.5-6.src.rpm fa23a12ebe267bc951f36836518c6205 i386/mailman-2.1.5-6.i386.rpm 97e885b25e126c2eef5943e82a37ea49 i386/debug/mailman-debuginfo-2.1.5-6.i386.rpm f15fba5a424e91403cc54fa527755aab x86_64/mailman-2.1.5-6.x86_64.rpm 999512cc65437cf9542df2cdb82b41e1 x86_64/debug/mailman-debuginfo-2.1.5-6.x86_64.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command.

A BBC presenter accused of wasting police time over claims that he killed a former lover who was dying of Aids, could be jailed for up to six months after prosecutors said they believe he lied during a documentary on death and dying.
Ray Gosling, 70, recorded a programme in February in which he claimed to have smothered a friend. Speaking after being summonsed by police in Nottingham yesterday,
Gosling apologised but would not be drawn on whether he was telling the truth. Gosling said: "I'm sorry if the police think they wasted their time. It got out of hand."Reuse content

Healing Hands and Bands
During the first LoveFest two summers ago, I spent more than two hours in Hollywood's Young Circle getting shiatsued, Reikied, and generally being pampered. My muscles were relaxed, my mind flowed with random thoughts, and my wallet was just a little lighter than it was when I started the day. I'd received four massages and other New-Age enticements and sampled one or two of the event's 62 bands -- all for only $5.
Last year I concentrated more on the music. I started at Revolution 2029, listening to the acoustic rock of Doug Jacobson, worked my way over to Sneakers for Friction Farm's power pop, and ended my day eight hours later boogying to the blues wail of vocalist Cathy Cotton at Shuckums. I can't remember how many other bands I saw, but those eight hours passed way too quickly.
On July 19 festgoers can once again take advantage of all the massage, acupuncture, and hypnotherapy they can handle when more than 30 alternative-care practitioners set up temporary shop. But don't get too relaxed to rock; some 120 bands will gig at more than 20 venues along Hollywood Boulevard and Harrison Street and in Young Circle, along with eight standup comedians. It's all there for the taking -- still for just a $5 donation. Also on tap is the Art & Cool Stuff auction of merchandise and services donated by area businesses.
LoveFest began in 1996 as a benefit for the late James Morlock, founder of Now Art Cafe and an artist who'd been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His self-described soulmate, Angel Spence, asked a few local bands to help raise "a few hundred bucks" for Morlock's cancer treatment. Word spread, and soon 62 bands and numerous holistic practitioners were involved. They raised $12,000.

Chasing Circles
A woman runs from her past as it chases her with memories.
My breath came out in short gasps. My feet pounded into the frozen earth, my legs moved up and down, and my arms pumped by my sides. Adrenaline rushed through my veins, dispelling the cold that surrounded my body. The city drew closer, but so did the footsteps that chased after me. I kept running, and running, and running, until I was finally safe.
Cold sweat beads on my forehead after I snap out of my flashback. I've had these flashbacks every time I let myself zone out a little bit, but I'm not sure if they're real or if my mind is playing tricks on me. I've been on the run from people these past weeks but I don't know who they are or why they're chasing me, and I wonder if I ever will.
My stomach grumbles, so I get out of bed and walk to the bathroom. I'm living in an abandoned shack I found outside of New York City, but I know I can't stay for long before they find me again. I reach the bathroom and rinse my face with the thin stream of water that runs out of the faucets. I glance up at the mirror, which is coated with grime. My dark brown eyes gaze back at me, and I examine my sharp nose, puckered mouth, heavy freckles, and the wild curly brown hair cascading down my shoulders. I see the smooth, wrinkle-free skin under my eyes and wonder how old I am- I could be in my twenties or thirties, but I'll never know. A drop of water runs down my cheek and drips into the sink, and I'm not sure if it's sink water or a tear- they come quite often these days. I straighten my back and begin my way to the door- now is not the time for tears.
The air is brisk, but nothing I can't handle. I catch a bus to the city with the spare change I've found and make my way to the farmer's market. The crowd is thick and loud, but I can get through it- I'll have to if I want to eat. I swoop into the mass and make my way around the stalls, and when I find something I want, I duck out of the crowd, grab it, and duck back in, making sure no one notices me. I continue this process for a while, but then I feel a nip at the back of my foot. Someone had stepped on me! I whirl around, ready to chew out the culprit, but the crowd is so thick I can't tell who did it. So I stop and hold my arms out. If I can't pass through the crowd without trouble, neither can they. People glare at me and shout at me to get out of the way, one guy even flips me off, but I don't move. As I defy the crowd a flashback surfaces..."YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!" I screamed at the guards that held me back, but they wouldn't let go. They tried to drag me back to my cell, but I didn't want to. I wouldn't. I bit one guard and brought my elbow back into the other's face. They cried out and let me go for a split second, and that's all I needed to bolt. I ran, faster than I ever had before, past other guards, through the doors, past the gates. I kept running, until my feet hurt and my lungs gasped for air, but even then I kept running.
A big, burly man shoves me out of the crowd. I stagger, still shocked from the sudden flashback. I take a moment to regain my balance, then run past a soda stall, grabbing a Pepsi from the stand, but I'm not sneaky enough this time. The shop owner calls out and then I'm being chased by the people in dark navy uniforms with weapons strapped to their sides. I sprint toward an alleyway, but a uniformed man catches up and tackles me. I tumble to the ground, scraping my elbows and knees, but I barely process the pain as my mind scrambles to find an escape. The man wrestles my hands behind my back, takes the Pepsi, and locks my hands so I can't move them. I struggle to get away but he keeps me on the ground, shouting at me to stay where I was. Finally another uniformed woman takes out some sort of device and points it at me, and lightning shoots through my body. I scream to the sky, to the uniformed people, to the people watching, to anything that will listen. My screams echo through the streets and slowly fade... until everything is black.
I was trapped in a room. Everything was white, my clothes were white, the ceiling and floor and walls were white. I felt like I was in a cloud, carefree and harmless, but my mind told me so much more. My arms were wrapped around me, like I was giving myself a hug. The only different color in the room was a little black camera in the corner and the beige door that didn't have a window. I stared at the camera for a moment and wondered about the people who were monitoring me. I heard a creak, and the door opened behind me. Two guards unstrapped my arms and picked me up, beginning to drag me out of the room. That's when I launched my plan.
I wake up on an uncomfortable metal bed. So now my flashbacks are in my dreams, too... I laugh to myself. My life is so messed up that I no longer care how my brain chooses to trick me. I sit up, look around, and realize that I'm in a jail cell. A man stands at a desk not far from my cell. He hears me sitting up and motions in front of him, and I see two guards that I vaguely recognize walk up to my cell. They grin maliciously at me and a spike of terror pierces my heart. They open the door of my cell and take my arms, and the irony that they think I would try escape when I have nowhere to go makes me giggle. My laughter bubbles up inside me, growing louder and louder until my cackling resonates throughout the building. I'm dragged out of the building and into a car. I hear the revs of the engine, and I allow my head to pull back into the seat as the car starts and giggles still escape me. We drive for a long time, and with each minute that passes my heart beats faster. Finally we slow down and stop. I wipe my sweaty palms on my ex-trashbin jeans and then I'm shoved out of the car and taken into a new building, but not before I notice the sign. That's when I remember.
The guards chased after me, but I knew they wouldn't catch up. I'd been imprisoned for so long, trapped with my own thoughts and feelings, that all my energy was built into this sprint. I burst out of the doors and across the parking lot and sent one fleeting look to the building I had escaped. The sign read, "Parkington Insane Asylum."

Bollant gets first UI commit
Mikaala Shackelford thinks so much of new Illinois women's basketball coach Matt Bollant that she recently committed to him for a second time.
The 5-foot-11 guard/forward in the Class of 2013 from Hopkins, Minn., originally committed to Green Bay when Bollant was the head coach of the Phoenix. She switched her pledge to Illinois after a visit to campus last week.
"Coach Bollant and (associate head coach) Mike Divilbiss are the main reasons I switched," Shackelford said. "I had a connection with them from Green Bay."
Shackelford is the first recruit to commit to Illinois since Bollant took over in late March. She can sign a letter of intent with Illinois in November.
"They called me and said to make sure that she talks to (new Green Bay) coach (Kevin) Borseth to see if she wanted to stay," Hopkins coach Brian Cosgriff said. "They said they were not going to recruit her until she decided to open up her recruitment again."
Shackelford comes from a program at Hopkins that has won each of the last two Class AAAA state championships in Minnesota. Shackelford was the first player off the bench on the 2011 title team, averaging 7.6 points and 3.3 rebounds.
She was averaging 10 points and 3.6 rebounds this past season before a torn ACL ended her season in January.
"It's going well. I'm starting to work out now and that's a nice change for me," Shackelford said of her rehab. "Hopefully I can get back out there in early September to start playing again."
Cosgriff said Shackelford, whose best attribute is her defense, had offers from Minnesota, Colorado and Colorado State, among others.
"She's a good one. We've won two state titles and we're real pleased with her play and excited to get her back," Cosgriff said. "She's a defender, shoots the three, a slasher, very athletic. She's a tireless worker and a very good student. She's the complete package."

Hmmm! Bollant(UWGB) was 7-0 vs Big Ten the last three years! Beat 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams in 2011. Recruit played for best High School team in MN where every player is a D1 player. I bet she might be able to play BB and he might know what kind of player is needed to be successful at Illinois!
Looking at last seasons stats, there were only 2 players who averaged over 10 pts/game, and 2 who averaged just under 10. The rest averaged less than 7/game. From a purely statistical view, averaging 10/game looks like an improvement. Granted, many of the players had so few minutes, it would be hard to determine if their averages would have been higher with more minutes played.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think Law was a bad recruiter, she just did not know what to do with the players she got.

Grace Bell/ Snake Eyes
Her father was the leading expert in snakes. Not the most elegant job, but he loved it. When Grace's mother passed away, he took her with him on his adventures, and so from an early age she grew up with the world at her finger tips. Grace had seen Africa, America, Australia, and her favourite of all, India. This was the place she loved; for the heat, the spices, and the animals. She loved the elephants, the tigers, and of course, the snakes. But it was here that her life changed forever.
She should have died, they said. She should never have survived. And yet she did. The cobra had struck, Grace had fallen to the floor, the world had gone dark. And then she'd woken up in hospital, and her life had continued.
Back in England, it was only a matter of time before Grace discovered the changes. The changes that made her move to America, away from the England home which her father had been brought up in, away from his grave. And away from anyone who might notice if she began to act any differently.
America was where her mother had lived. America was the land of oppertunity. The land where you could shine like a star, or disappear from the world. And Grace needed to disappear.
An apartment with a fabulous view. This is where she hides, under the most unlikely face. Grace Bell, the wealthy English woman in America, with shares in major companies and plenty of family money to her name. She couldn't possibly have a secret, not when everyone was in her business. And this is why it is such a good cover.
This is where she hides.
The necklace had caught Snake's eye earlier that day. It was beautiful, one of a kind. Very expensive. Impossible to steal, because you couldn't wear it in public and you couldn't sell it. Everything would lead back to you. You definitely stole it.
But that's what made it so... delicious.
They had left the smallest little window open, clearly too small for a human. But, not for her. She slithered inside, bending so that she could easily fit through the pane. She swung herself on to the bars of the ceiling and climbed over the floor. There would be a lot of security. But then, she didn't mind. It was easy.
As she hooked the necklace round her finger, the alarm was triggered. Snake Eyes held the necklace tightly, climbed back along the bars and slipped out of the window. She ran at the drain pipe on the opposite wall, and climbed. Only when she was several buildings away did she stop. Sirens filled the air, and she watched as police appeared from the building, shaking their heads. She looked down at her gloved hands. Nothing would show. They wouldn't know it was her.
How boring.
"Police officials were stunned to find this morning that the stolen necklace had been recovered. When the owners of this branch of Tiffany's returned to the scene of the crime this morning, the necklace was back in its place. An insider informs us that a message had been left with the necklace, simply stating 'Well, that was no fun. S.E'. I think it's clear to see John that Snake Eyes has been playing her games again. Back to you at the studio."
Grace switched off the t.v and wandered in to the bedroom, bowl of cereal in hand. Time to get dressed and begin another day of building her social status.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Read an APGAR Score
Three Parts:Reading the CategoriesReading the Test as a WholeLearning About the Timing and Positioning of the TestCommunity Q&A
The APGAR test is one that measures the well-being of a baby shortly after birth. Virginia Apgar developed the test in 1952, and since then, it has become a standard test for most newborns.[1] Basically, it just gives the medical staff a numerical way of assessing the health of the baby.
Part 1
Reading the Categories
1Learn an acronym to help. Even though APGAR refers to the designer's name, it can also be used as an acronym: "APGAR" can stand for appearance (skin color), pulse, grimace response (reflexes), activity (muscle tone), and respiratory. This test is used to measure the overall well-being of the baby by looking at the major indicators of wellness.[2]
2Look at the scores for heart rate. The first category on the APGAR test is heart rate. A nurse, doctor, or midwife will check for the baby's heartbeat. The medical staff will also determine the pulse rate to see how the baby is thriving.[3]
- If the baby doesn't have a heart rate, the score is zero.
- A score of one indicates a heart rate under 100 beats per minute, which is not quite as fast as it should be.
- A score of two indicates the baby's heart rate is over 100, which means the baby is thriving.
3Learn the rating for breathing. The next category on the APGAR test is breathing. A person on the medical staff examines the baby to see how they're breathing, then assigns a number to the breathing effort from zero to two based on what they observe.[4]
- A zero means the baby is not breathing, while a one means the baby has irregular breathing.
- A two means is the baby is breathing just fine, which usually means the baby is crying.
4Watch your baby's movement to determine muscle tone. After breathing comes a check of muscle tone. Muscle tone just measures the baby's activity to see if it is moving around on its own. An active baby indicates that they are doing well.[5]
- A zero indicates the baby is limp or not moving much at all.
- If the baby is given a one, it means they are bending arms and legs and moving some but not as vigorously as the doctor would prefer.
- A two means the baby is actively moving around.
5Understand the score for the grimace response. The grimace response is how the baby reacts to mild stimulus. For instance, the baby may be lightly pinched to see if the baby responds a lot or if it doesn't respond at all to the stimulus.[6]
- A zero indicates no response.
- A one means the baby pulls a face (grimaces) but doesn't sneeze or cough.
- A two means the baby pulls a face and sneezes or coughs in response.
6Look at the appearance score. The final category is appearance. In this part of the test, the medical staff will look at the baby's skin color. The skin color can indicate whether the baby is receiving enough oxygen or not.[7]
- A zero in this category means the baby is blue all over.
- A one means the baby is mostly a healthy color but may be bluish at the hands and feet.
- A two means the baby is a healthy color all over, including pink at the hands and feet.
Part 2
Reading the Test as a Whole
1Analyze the whole score. The score from the APGAR is generally taken as a whole rather than in individual categories. In other words, all the scores from each category are added together to get one number. The best possible score is ten, which means the baby is doing as well as they can be. However, most babies don't score a ten at birth.[8]
- A score from seven to ten means the baby will just need standard care.
- If the score is under seven, the baby will need more monitoring and possibly interventions, such as help breathing.[9]
2Don't be afraid of low scores. While a low score may seem scary, it usually doesn't mean the baby will have long-term health effect. Rather, it just means the baby needs a little extra care right after birth to help stabilize their health.[10]
- Certain factors can cause the APGAR score to be lower. Often, it's caused by a C-section or a birth that's a bit more difficult than other births. A low score can also be caused by fluid in the airway.
3Prepare for interventions from the medical team. If the baby has a low score, generally one of two things will happen. With the first intervention, the baby's airway will be cleared out if it has fluid, and the baby will be given oxygen. A second option is the baby may be given stimulation to get the heart beating more rapidly.[11]
Part 3
Learning About the Timing and Positioning of the Test
1Be aware where the test will be performed. Generally, the baby will be placed somewhere warm while the test is performed. That can either be on a parent's belly or under a warmer. Keeping the baby warm is important.[12]
2Understand the one-minute test. As the name implies, the one-minute test is performed a minute after the baby leaves the mother's body. It tells the medical staff how well the baby did during the birthing process and accesses the baby's need for assistance.[13]
3Learn about the five-minute test. The five-minute test, as it sounds, is given five minutes after birth. This test is the same as the one-minute test, but it's given to measure how the baby is doing out in the world (out of the womb).[14]
- This test also helps evaluate whether any interventions are working.[15]
4Watch for it to be given a third time. While the test is usually just performed twice, it may be given a third time. Usually, it's given a third time if the baby has a low score, to see if the baby has improved any from the five-minute test.[16]

An Interesting Proposal
As Ciara took a few moments to gather herself, leaning against the edge of the balcony and looking out at the city, Daniel spent his time looking at her, leaning casually with one hand on the back of a chair. She was aware of his regard, but pointedly looked out at the cityscape, unsure what to do or say. Here she was, nominally alone with a man who was known to everyone who was anyone in artistic circles, but who in truth she knew very little about. In short, despite being very public he was also very much a mystery. A scary - and heady - thought. Mostly, though, she was just hoping to avoid making a bigger fool of herself than she already had.
Finally turning to him, realizing the silence had gone on a little longer than she expected, she caught him examining her curiously, that amusement still lingering in the lines around his eyes. And there were tiny lines there, suggesting he was probably somewhere over 30 although being any more exact was more difficult than she would have expected. Aside from the lines he looked just about perfect. Perhaps that was the effect of a visit to some doctor or dermatologist. Not that uncommon among the socially elite. It would surprise her though as he hardly seemed like the metrosexual type. There was something a little too wild, a little too untamed about him.
Clearing her throat, aware that she had gone from staring out into the night to staring at him, she flushed. "So, Mr. Alverston." Another pause. Expectantm, waiting. Her tongue flicked out and wet her lips and she nervously adjusted her hair, although nothing was out of place. He was the one who had said he had something he wanted to speak to her about. Why wasn't he speaking?
His laughter was rich, layered, and he seemed more relaxed outside as though he had been on guard inside, surrounded by people. Just as she had been, although she was not finding herself any more relaxed on the balcony. "So, Ms. Fitzpatrick. Although I really would prefer if we could be on a first name basis. Please, call me Daniel. And I hope you will allow me to call you Ciara. It is a beautiful name, if you will permit me to say so." Her flush was ready enough, even as one brow raised in a sardonic expression.
"It appears you've already said so." Her laughter was soft, still with an edge of unease, but she found herself slightly more relaxed. Perhaps that had been his goal. "And certainly you may call me Ciara," a slight pause, "Daniel." She couldn't help fidgetting as she glanced back at him, trying to avoid staring, but equally feeling her eyes drawn to him.
Her fingers crumpled her skirt a little, fighting the urge to sketch. It was an ironic battle, considering that she had nothing to draw on or with. If it got much worse, however, she might just be willing to grab a cocktail napkin and any pen she could beg or borrow. She knew the signs too well. Her muse would only be denied for so long.
The way Daniel was looking at her suggested he might just know that. He had been looking at her with amusement almost since their eyes had met across the room earlier. It put her back up just a little, to think that he found her so entertaining without even knowing her. It felt a little to her like he viewed her as an adorable pet, or at most a precocious and entertaining child. Someone to whom he was superior, at any rate, and it brought her eyebrows together despite the urge she felt to sketch him until he knew him better than he knew himself. Actually, that sketching might just give her a feeling of superiority, give her the upper hand. Thinking about his reaction to just what a sketch might reveal about him gave her an expression rather like the cat that ate the canary.
Daniel looked at her, caught the expression, and it was his turn to clear his throat and look just a little uncertain, albeit equally curious. "Well, Ciara, perhaps we should discuss business first and then on to matters less serious. If that suits you, of course." His smile was pleasant enough, and Ciara was surprised to realize that it seemed a little more honest, less a mask. That droll expression of before was gone, leaving glimpses of the true man behind. She felt an answering smile curve her own lips, although it could equally be classified as pleasant rather warm or even happy. She nodded her assent, waiting for him to continue. He had the upper hand and he was well aware of it, and there was little enough she could do at the moment aside from playing along.
"I have been following the development of your career rather attentively. I found your work to be very... expressive. Some of your portraits are amazing. To put it bluntly, I was rather hoping I could convince you to accept my patronage." He made the offer as though it was of little or no consequence although something around his eyes and mouth suggested that her answer was more important to him than that.
Ciara's eyes widened with surprise and Daniel's laughter was quite delighted. He held up a hand, holding her back from her questions and the outburst she was about to make. "Your work would be hanging in a gallery I own. I keep myself as a silent owner, of course, but it is prominent enough that it would guarantee you exposure. A show of your own, if you wished it, although I assume you would require a certain amount of time to put together the right pieces and certainly some new and unseen work would be called for. Also, I was thinking-."
At that point Ciara could hold back no longer. "Mr.- I mean Daniel! That is.. I don't know how to express... Wow." And then an expletive found its way out of her lips and she fell into silence, wincing visibly, then taking a deep breath. "Sorry. I didn't mean to say... umm.... Thank you. I never expected- I mean I heard you never- Thank you?" It was all she could manage for a few moments.
Staring at him, rather dumbfounded, she found his amusement a whole lot more bearable. Less insulting. And just for a moment she saw something else lurking behind it. She couldn't tell if it was sadness, wistfulness, or something just a little hungry. All she knew was that it was apparently about her. It made her swallow, and think for just a second that perhaps she should be cautious. Why would he offer something like this to her after all the people he had apparently taken an interest in?
But it was too good an offer to do anything but accept graciously.
She found herself taking a step closer and releasing her dress. Nervous energy flooded through her and with it her control began to slip. Something lit within her eyes; her muse had struck, and she needed to find some way of letting it out. "Do you... could I have some paper? A pencil? Anything to draw with?" Her voice was breathless and her cheeks felt flushed. A part of her knew that in the wake of his offer such an outburst was insane and could very well cause him to change his mind.
She fought her musef for domination. It had never been this strong before, never driven her this hard, this suddenly. It was rare that she met someone randomly and felt this compelled, but there was no denying that there was something about Daniel Alverston that sent her creative impulses into a frenzy.
Her tongue flicked out again, wetting her lips, and her eyes began to travel over his face. Certainly not the gaze of a woman admiring a man. No, it was the gaze of an artist. Gauging shadows and highlights, angles and curves. Disecting proportions. The gaze of an artist translating three dimensions into two, considering mediums and poses, lighting and shadows.
"Would you let me draw you? Please?" The last word forced out, a memory of polite behaviour surfacing just long enough to keep her from yet more rudeness. "I just... there is something about you. I really want to paint it, and if you will let me I want to get to work on sketches right away." She sounded eager, and there was so much passion in her, passion directed at her work. Utterly caught by the inspiration that held her, the man-turned-muse that stood before her.
Something of surprise took Daniel's face, and then his expression turned considering. His head cocked slightly, eyes narrowed, and he lifted a hand to tap a finger on his lips. And then his decision was clearly made and he dropped his hand. "I'll take you home. They hardly need me here. I presume working with your own materials in the right environment would be preferable to sketching here with an avid audience" Ciara's had just enough self-awareness to turn and see various guests catching glances at them through the glass that separated them. Normally she would have flushed, would have cared. Normally she would not have forgotten her surroundings.
Something in her face must have made that clear. His laughter was easy, but something about his stance suggested he was rather pleased with the excuse for escape, as pleased as Ciara would have been herself had she still been thinking about the party.
Had she been thinking of anything beyond sketching him, she might have felt the oddness of the offer, but she was too far gone, inspiration breathing down her neck and riding her hard. So she simply nodded her assent distractedly, following him back inside. The party engulfed them but she hardly noticed, not even when he took her elbow solicitously to help guide her through the room when it became obvious she was not looking where she was going. People parted around them, in deference to Daniel clearly. He motioned to one of the waiters, and her coat was brought. Then out the door, down the private elevator. All a blur for Ciara, but clearly he was paying enough attention for them both. A good thing. She could not afford to offend anyone too greatly, even with Daniel's offer. Not that she was thinking of that.
Ciara gathered her wits slightly as she realized he was holding a car door open for her. The trip from the penthouse gathering to the garage area of the building had completely passed her by. Her eyes widened and she shook her head a little, rational thought making a brief appearance. "Are you sure? I don't live in the best area, and this... it's beautiful. I would hate for anything to happen to it." 'This' was a lovingly-restored or maintained classic 1960s Cadillac convertible. But he assured her that he was not worried as he ushered her into the passenger seat, closing the door firmly before going around the car and slipping into the driver's side.
"Where to?" His voice broke her reverie again, interrupting thoughts of how to catch the line of his jaw, or exactly how to stroke in the curls of his hair, and she gave him her address, then followed it with directions when she realized he was unlikely to know how to get to that part of the city. Not exactly an area she could see him frequenting. He smiled at her, the engine purred to life, and they drove out of the private garage and onto the city streets.

At times he stands* with a hip-shot stance, his flanks! drawn in and a faint age-growth of wrinkles showing against his toughened hide. But he isn t quite finished yet. Not him. He is old. no doubt of it, but his dark-bay coat is richening tome with the rising of new spring grass, and his eyes hold a sharp perception. And he isn t lonely. Almost any day in the week he's likely to have company—a passel of neighborhood kids. RARIN' TO GO: Don't let his gaunt look fool you. Old Choppo, twenty-nine-year-old horse owned by Eual Harris of the VA,.r Porce' st'rt bas plenty of power for traveling. Holding the horse is Eual's father, I. F. Harris of Francis. His name is "Choppo." He is a twenty-nine year old horse belonging to Segeant Eual L. Harris of the U. S. Army Air Force. Horse and owner, Sergeant Harris' father says, are about the same age. "Choppo" is now' in a pasture on the I. F. Harris farm one mile east of Francis, where the Harris family has resided since 1917. Mr. Harris purchased the horse for his son when "Choppo" was only 8-years-old. Boy and horse knew a long-time association until young Harris entered the Air Force nine years ago. Sargeant Harris is now with a medical student squadron at Gunter Air Force Base. Alabama. He is married and has three boys aged six. five and two. One boy was born in Germany, one in Texas and the other at Tinker Air Base, Oklahoma City. Sargeant Harris intends to keep - old "Choppo" for his boys to ride I when they visit their grandparents near Francis. "Neighbor kids keep Choppo gentled up good for riding." the elder Harris said. When asked if it was mostly on Sundays, he said, smiling. "Might he any day in the week.'* Old "Choppo" is still pretty much of a horse in spite of his twenty-nine years. His hooves aren't splayed or broken and his I teeth are intact. He eats, according to Mr. Harris, "All the corn he can get hold of."

Included in the offering are 50 covv-and-calf pairs, the calves sired by high testing performance tested bulls. Some older cows will also be sold, Corbin notes: animals which are still good for four or five calves, hut require a little more care than the big Stoneybroke operation can give them. The sale catalog lists 99 head, 43 bulls and 56 females. However, Corbin says he will also sell five performance tested bulls, potential herd sires, unlised in the catalog. In addition to these he will offer 20 pair of what he calls purebred commercial animals—cow's which have lost their chains and whose ear tattoos have become illegible. All animals in the sale will be in good pasture condition, Corbin says, and there will be "something for everybody." The sale is scheduled to kick off at I p. rn. in the big circular sale barn at Stoneybroke. Auctioneers will he Holland Jester, Ardmore and Guy Shull, Lawton. In traditional Stoneybroke style free lunch will he served to all comers before the sale by the women of the Pittstown Methodist Church. McDonald Sees Dividends In Diversi fled Ranching By ERIC ALLEN Bad markets and fickle weather can sometimes upset a livestock grower's equilibrium worse than the gyrating antics of a bucking horse. Unless a man knows how to gauge the jumps and keep his seat in the saddle, he may hit the turf with a w'rench-ing jolt. Dale McDonald, a recent member of the rodeo circuit and now vice-president of the Pontotoc and Coal County Livestock Association. seems to know how to guage the humps. And McDonald makes th? tough riding easier by taking the route of diversified ranching. He goes in for cattle, horses, growing of small-grain crops and the business of raising hogs. Spread McDonald's ranch is a 1000 acre stretch of hills and bottomland along the South Canadian River northeast of Francis. He runs 150 head of Whiteface cattle, raises some riding stock, and down on a IOO acre strip of the river bottom, he grows barley, oats and com to feed his hogs. McDonald has been in the hog business about five years, raising mostly top-quality feeders and stockers. His success in this is evidenced by the fact that buyers from Arkansas, Missouri and from as far away as Central City, Iowa, come to his ranch to purchase hogs. In addition to his long-range program of feed ers and stockers, he purchased 120 head of mixed Hampshire. Yorkshire, Landrace, Duroc and Poland China this spring and intends to top them out. "It's partly an experiment," McDonald said thoughtfully. "But a man doesn't jump into this business just hit-or-miss. I figure I'll have these hogs topped out by the middle of June and that wray I'll be ahead of the fall or late - summer market slump. I'll keep some of the best ones for breeding, too. and the price I paid for the pigs wasn't too steep." Rations The 120 head of hogs, already putting on meat and healthy and active—and as camera-shy—as mountain goats, are confined in a big feedlot adjoining a pond at the base of the timbered hills. McDonald is fattening the hogs on maise. soybean meal and trace minerals, but usually, for his feeder and stocker program, he grows his own feed. "I don't think it's a good idea to dry-lot feeders and stockers." the rancher said. "And I don't think it's good to throw weaning pigs inside a lot unless a man has time for limited feeding. I don't have time for that. Too many irons in the fire." McDonald is using self-feeders in his present fattening project. How'ever. looking forward to expanding his feeder and stocker program, he is going to build a new barn 60 feet long and 20 feet wide. The barn will have a concrete floor, a self-feeder spanning one whole side, and enough stalls to handle 14 farrowing sow's. He has ordered 50 purebred Hampshire sows and intends to cross them with Landrace. He may try a cross between Tamworth and Hampshire too. "It may take a year to find the breed I want." McDonald said. "I'm trying for the best lean-meat, bacon-type hog. When my barn is ready. I hope to farrow 14 sows every 60 days.'* Barley Booster Much of McDonald's hog ranching is done on the open mast, but he goes in strong for the growing of barley. He usually sow's it early in September, pastures his w'hiteface cattle on it during the winter, then pulls them off and lets the grain mature for combining and grinding. He believes that barie}-, mixed with tankage, is about the best kind of home-grow'n feed. Another interesting phase of McDonald's operations this year will he the planting of a twelve-acre tract of bottomland to soybeans and Honeydrip cane. He will plant the crops together in rows, and will cultivate, but he doesn't intend to harvest the crops himself. In the fall he will turn in feeder and stocker shoats and let them "hog it down." ;

Los Polkeros De Ben Tavera King
Considered by many to be King's finest album, Themes of Passion was composed for the PBS documentary Los Mineros as part of the popular series, The American Experience. Rich and beautiful, with many passages of brooding intensity, the work combines traditiona Mexican music with contemporary elements; scored for King's trademark nylon-string guitar, marimba, accordion, synthesizers and harmonica, the score explores depths of musical emotion rarely encountered in television productions. (Talking Taco #107) ~ Philip Krumm, Rovi
