Novella about a widow who needs guidance with her loss.
The Consummate Game
By: DJ Cloutier
Clarissa sat cross-legged on the hard wood floor surrounded by camping equipment. Pack, hiking boots, sleeping bag she thought how much fun it was going to be trying to stuff this into a small pack and hoping that she could carry it. She had been planning this trip for a while. It had not been an easy year for her. She turned 55 this year and had lost her husband of 25 years. Six months ago she decided to stop moping and went to the gym. This back packing trip was her goal. Garibaldi Provincial Park was in between Vancouver and Whistler just north of Squamish. She planned to hike up to Garibaldi Lake and do day hikes to all her favorite places like Black Tusk and Panorama Ridge. She had also started doing photography again so hopefully the weather would co-operate and the alpine flora would be out in full bloom.
She couldn't wait to see her old college roommate, Jo, again. It had been years since they had visited each other though they didn't live very far apart. Clarissa lived in Squamish and Jo in Victoria. Damned ferries. Too expensive and Clarissa would also have to stayed in a hotel. She just couldn't see Jo putting her up after all these year.
She looked down at the detritus on the floor. They would be sharing the load so she had to wait until tonight to finish packing. Stove, tent, water pump and food would be shared all the rest had to fit into the backpack. She was very good at this. When the kids were young she and Joe had backpacked at least twice a year. Separating and weighting gear making sure there was enough food for all the days they would be away and one extra day just in case something happened. Always planning for emergencies is the very nature of being a mother. There was a scratching at the sliding deck doors. She stood up to let the dog in and saw her reflection, not bad, she thought. She had lost weight with all that walking she was doing and being alone some of the time she didn't eat very much. Soups and salads mostly and when she was working as a camp chef she didn't eat all the heavy foods she cooked for the guys. They had physical jobs and needed the calories she didn't. She never found it easy eating her food after she spent all day preparing it.
She was five foot two slim but not skinny now. She still had the dyed brown hair. Her hair dresser would not let her grow it out. She would have been gray now. She had let it grow a little long but it was always full of body and curled softly around her face. She had a strong somewhat square face with brown eyes, not to many wrinkles just laugh lines she wore no makeup. She opened the door to a large hairy gray dog. Donkey came running in and sniffed all the stuff on the floor, the dog seemed to know something was up. Clarissa said" going away for a few days girl. Kevin is coming to look after you." Her son was a teacher and would be starting his new position Tuesday as a history teacher having found a school in Vancouver to work at. He had promised he would come and look after the dog while she was away.
The phone rang and she hurried to answer it. "Hello" she said and Jo answered "Hi Clarissa, I have some bad news. My Dad was admitted to the hospital an hour ago and it seems serious." Her dad was in his late eighties. "I am going to have to cancel my trip. I am so sorry to disappoint you." Disappointment flooded Clarissa, but she understood and wished him a speedy recovery. Jo said "maybe we could postpone. Clarissa answered "no I only have this week off and I will be back in camp for another two weeks. Then it will be too late to go up into the alpine. It's alright. Maybe I could come to Victoria to visit." Jo agreed and she signed off.
Clarissa plopped down on the floor again and looked at all the gear. The dog was happily nosing the food for all the great smells. "Get your nose out of there Donkey" she pushed the dog's hairy nose away from the food. "I guess I'll have to put all this away" she said to the dog. "I was so looking forward to getting away and thinking about the future." She had no debt. She had inherited a nice nest egg from her mother and her job paid quite well. Sean, her youngest son, was finishing up his last year University and was on scholarship. With no debt, she was thinking about opening her own place. She had found the perfect space and a good partner for front of house. He was a business friend not too close personally with a good head on his shoulders. This was going to be a weekend she would make that commitment or not. She had planned to use Jo as a sounding board. Oh well, she thought. Then the idea formed in her head. Maybe she could go alone. It would be a busy weekend and there would be lots of hikers up there. She could also let the park rangers know she would be alone. She would have to scale back some of the hiking just in case it got a little dangerous. That would leave her the meadows for doing photography. The weather looked gorgeous for the weekend and it would clear her head. She would leave Thursday morning and be at the camp ground to get a good spot. Kevin would not be happy with this and she knew he would give her grief. He could be such a mother now that his father was gone. With that plan in her head she sat down and began reorganizing the gear. Less food and more equipment she thought.
Chapter 2
Richard stood by his car thinking about the coming weekend. He was in the middle of a shoot and they were going on location next week. He had five days off and was planning on doing some exploring. He decided to go native and try out backpacking. One of the crew had told him about this hike he could do up in the mountains North of Vancouver. A voice from behind him broke though his revelry. "What are you doing for the week end Rich"? Richard answered him "Hi Fred, I'm going to hike up in some of your gorgeous mountains. I need a few days away from everything, need to get my head clear before next week." Fred looked at him with a smile "all by yourself" he quipped. Richard looked at him and assured him he was not bringing anyone.
Richard had looks to knock over most women. He was six foot two perfect teeth, striking blue eyes, dark brooding smile and voice that women sighed at. He had no problem filling his bed when he wanted to. Lube and oil change his friend called it. No commitment though. He was way too busy for all that. Make money and I will settle down when I'm fifty he laughed.
Richard opened the door to the rented Porsche and dropped into the seat. He set the GPS to the outfitters on the north shore and drove away from the studio.
The phone rang and he hit the button to answer it. "Hello" he said "Hi Rich its Rupert" Richard's college friend. "How's Blighty" Richard said. "It's fair. Raining though, how's Canada." "It is absolutely gorgeous." Richard replied. "Look Richard I need your input for the game. We are falling behind the girls and it looks like they might win this year. You know that there is 400,000 pounds riding on this and I need the money not like you. You better hold up your end of the bargain OK." Richard thought about the game and how it could be so emotionally draining at times. "Rupert" Richard said "I'll see what I can do but I'm going away alone for a few days. Maybe when I'm on location I can work on my end. Don't worry we'll beat the girls. Were just better at this game then they are." Richard ended the call and thought about the game he and his friends had been playing since college. The stakes have gone up but the rules were the same.
His mind was taken away from the thought of the game by the beautiful landscape of Vancouver. He was heading over the Iron Workers Memorial Bridge. The snow capped mountains in the distance. His mind turned to the weekend. He needed to stop and get his gear and food. He had already spoken to a sales clerk at the outfitters store and was renting some gear and purchasing the rest. He had hiking boots already which was a bonus; breaking in hiking boots was not an easy task and would be impossible on a four day hike.
He turned off the highway and headed down Main St. following the GPS's instructions. He arrived at the outfitters store and went in. He went to the sales desk to inquire about the gear that he would be renting and also if he could have some help with the purchase of the rest. He had never really been back packing as in the UK you could just trek along to the next village and stay at a B&B. A lovely and very trim women came over to help him. She had recognized him he could tell. Their faces always betrayed that faint of recognition. Canadian's he thought always polite not wanting to intrude on anyone's privacy. The girl's face had turned a little pink. She began by bringing out the rental equipment first. He was renting a tent, pots and stove but he would be purchasing a back pack, sleeping bag and mat and any food stuff that he might need. She showed him the same tent on the storeroom floor. It looked almost too small for his 6'2" frame. She told him to crawl in and try it out so he did so. Funny enough he fit with enough room to spare for his gear. The same went for the sleeping bag as she chose a down-filled mummy bag for him. Light weight and warm she said as the nights in the alpine would be hovering around 0°C. She helped him pick out the rest of the gear he was going to need and he chose 2 new pair of hiking socks, shorts, trousers and a fleece jacket. Paying for his purchases he smiled down at the very helpful clerk. She went completely red now. Thank you Mr. Guilford she said as she handed back his credit card feigning the reading of the name on the card for recognition. He thought he could have had this girl in a minute if he wanted to but not today. Just himself today, though he did touch her hand ever so gently when he took the preferred card back from her. He felt her hand give a little flutter. Oh how he loved these little sexual power exchanges. It made him feel good. She wished him well on his trip and helped him out with is gear.
With all his stuff crammed into the Porsche he set the GPS for Garibaldi Prov. Park and it sent him back the way he came and out onto the Upper Levels Highway. He had taken this road up to Whistler before and it was one of the most scenic roads he had ever been on. It followed the ocean along a twisting road cut into the side of a mountain. The views were incredible. It was a sunny September day and the snow capped mountains were in the distance. His thoughts were on his future and he needed to decide what his next project was going to be. He was tired from the constant travel he had been doing in the last five years. His career was going gang busters and was given the choice of 2 movie projects for next year or a full time American TV Show. Both were about the same money TV was a bit of a step down but it would mean that he could settle down in one place. Maybe actually meet someone and start a family or more travel and more interesting projects. That was what he had to decide this weekend. His agent needed to know by Tuesday whether he was joining the cast of the first of the movie projects. The Porsche hummed up the highway as he was lost in his thoughts of the future.
Chap 3
Clarissa was sitting on the top of the stairs with her pack and hiking boots ready to go. She was going to tell Kevin that she was going and that was that. She heard Kevin's car door close and a minute later the door opened. The dog burst from behind her and leapt down the stairs in full lick mode. "Arghh" Kevin said. She was laughing when he finally managed to get control of the dog. "Hi, honey" she said "how was your drive." Kevin, her blond, blue eyed baby was now 24. "Hi Mom, it was good nice day to drive up the highway. I see you are ready to go. Where is your friend, I was looking forward to meeting her." "She couldn't make it. Her father ended up in the hospital and she didn't want to leave him." Kevin looked at her packed gear and said "looks like you are still leaving." With determination she said "yes, I am, all by myself." He looked at her and said "okay Mom, I wasn't going to try to stop you." "Good because I thought you may not be happy if I was going up by myself." He looked down at her and said "just don't do anything too dangerous." Clarissa promised she wouldn't. They discussed the dog's meals and walks for a few minutes and Clarissa got in her little red Yaris and headed for the highway.
Clarissa turned her car into the Garibaldi Prov. Park parking lot. She tried to choose a spot that thieves would not look to covetously at her car. Leave nothing in your car the sign said. She got out of her car and opened the hatch. Sat down on the edge of the tail gate and put on her hiking boots. Putting her comfy shoes to await her longed return she pulled out her pack and hiking poles. It was a warm morning so Clarissa took off her light jacket and put it in the top pocket of her pack along with the lunch she had made for herself. The last fresh veg and meat she would have for several days. She planned to get to the barrier and stop for lunch there. She checked her two water bottles on either side of her pack and then put the pack on. She spent a few minutes adjusting the pack's weight to her back grabbed her poles, locked the car and set off to the trail head. A map was there with information and photos of the park. She had already paid her fees on line so she didn't have to pay for anything here. The trail post stated that Garibaldi Lake campground was 9 km away and a 900 m elevation gain. It also warned to wear sturdy foot wear and make sure you were prepared for inclement weather.
She had done this hike many times with her husband and kids and knew the physical gruel the first 6 km of switch backs to the barrier could be. She had worked hard to get into physical shape for this and felt fine. Off she started up the path. It was well worn and well marked by many feet. The path lay in the forest, dappled sunlight shone on the forest floor. Lovely ferns and plants grew thickly between the mossy rocks; the smell of forest floor was heady. She could hear the Rubble Creek flowing in the distance. Up she walked feeling her legs protest the early morning rigor. The perspiration was running down her back and between her cleavage. Her legs slowly warmed up and stopped protesting the exercise, her thoughts began to wander.
What was she going to do about her situation? Her choice between status quo and a business was a big one. She was getting bored of the camp life. The people she served were great but not intellectual geniuses. She missed her husband for that part of her life. The two weeks on one week off was hard on all her friendships and she had not kept up with her friends for over a year now. She was lonely when she was home. The kids didn't need her and that just left the dog. She wasn't really looking for a relationship as much as she was looking for commonality in people. Someone she could go out to dinner and have a discussion about politics, science or current affairs. If she was home and had her own business she could take some courses and hopefully meet like-minded people. Business though she thought, it is like having a perpetual two year old. It always needed to be nurtured. That would not leave a lot of spare time to meet people and she was not sure whether she could take the commitment in hours to make the whole thing work. She loved the idea of her own menus and being as creative she wanted to be. She liked her business partner. He was a wiry fellow, dynamic and could get the bums on seats all she had to do was to perform her usual mastery in the kitchen and all would work. She was just afraid of sustaining that for a long period of time. She would have to put her house on the line for this venture and that was frightening. If only there was a little extra money she could hire a Sous chef to help her out. She had to come up with her decision by the end of this week end or they were going to lose the place they were looking at. The agreement was to be signed on Wednesday morning if they were going to take the place.
She came back from her thoughts to her surroundings. The path was going up and up. She adjusted her pack to make it more comfortable on her back, and grab her water bottle from its pocked and had a drink. She set off again one foot in front of the next. Some lean hikers passed her as she walked and she said a friendly greeting. She was glad there were others on the path. It made her feel safer. She was about ¾ the way to the barrier when a park ranger passed her. She flagged the uniformed woman down and told her that she was alone so if they didn't mind keeping an eye out for her. The ranger said that would be okay. She finally made it to the barrier. Ah what a sight. It was a natural dam and looked like it had been engineered for just that purpose. Apparently there had been a volcanic eruption during the last ice age and the lava flow had come up against a glacier and set up in a perfect dam shaped barrier. Garibaldi Lake had formed behind the barrier from glacial melt. It was absolutely spectacular to stand up on the cliff and look down the valley towards Howe Sound and the Ocean.
Clarissa happily took off her pack and sat down beside it. She began digging around in the upper pocket and found her lunch and then grabbed a water bottle from a side pocket. She leaned up against a rock and enjoyed her wrap. Nothing could taste better when exercise was added to the sauce she thought. Finishing her lunch she looked at her watch and it was only 11 am. She decided to take a little nap before she set out again. No harm in an old lady having a cat nap on such a lovely day and organized herself so she was comfortable and drifted off to sleep.
Chapter 4
Richard steered his car into the Garibaldi Park parking lot. He parked and started dealing with all his gear. He formed it in a big pile all around him. "How am I going to get all this stuff into that little backpack" he thought. He began by removing all the packaging and threw that away in the trash bin. Then he organized it into piles and started shoving it in. It finally all fit in. Next he put on his trusty old hiking boots. At least I know how to put those on" he thought. Fumbling around he put the pack on closed the car up locking it and made his way to the trail head. He glanced at the map and sign and without much thought to distance he set off up the path. The pack didn't sit well on his back and his left boot was chaffing his little toe. He persevered, walking through the pain. He kept up a steady progress and his long legs managed to bring him up to the barrier quite quickly. His poor back was aching and his toe was killing him so finally decided to stop and have one of those energy bars that lovely young lady sold him.
He dumped the pack unceremoniously of his back and left it in a heap at his feet. He grabbed his water bottle and had a great big satisfying swig. With the back of his hand he wiped his mouth and forehead. He looked out at the barrier and starred in absolute wonder. He was in paradise he thought. He walked dangerously close to the cliffs edge and looked down. He saw crumbled rock and a small river flowing about 300 m below him he looked out towards the other snow capped mountains. He took his cell phone and snapped a couple of shots. He knew that it wouldn't do it justice. He then looked at his cell phone and realized he had no signal. Oh well he thought that would be great if he was completely incommunicado for the whole weekend no one to bother him.
He turned around and saw a woman sleeping by a tree in the shade. Or was she sleeping he thought. He walked over to her and peered at her. Richard decided to wake her by clearing his throat. Clarissa startled awake. She looked up a saw what appeared to be a bleary man hanging over her. Richard started as well and said "are you okay". Clarissa cleared her foggy brain and rubbed her eyes. She had that feeling of complete disorientation from sleep to wakefulness. Then she was overcome with complete embarrassment and apologized. "Sorry" she said "oh I am completely flustered. I was having a little after lunch nap before I headed out again. I am so sorry." She still couldn't understand why she was apologizing to this stranger, but she was. Richard looked at her and was quite amused by her. Typical Canadians even apologize when they have no need. Richard proffered his hand to her. "Can I help you up I didn't mean to startle you". Clarissa gave him her hand and stood up and brushed the dirt and grass from her clothing. She ran her fingers through her hair and finally had a good look at the man before her. Tall, fortyish, with brooding good looks though he looked slightly familiar she couldn't place him and by his accent he seemed to be from the UK. Clarissa cleared her voice and said "thank you." She looked at her watch and saw that only ½ hour had passed and began to relax. Thanks for waking me up I better get my things together I'm heading to the lake, are you?" she asked. Richard said he was but needed to sort his feet out. Blisters she said and he nodded. Clarissa asked "is it your first time up Garibaldi?" Richard said "yes and I am having a hard time will all the gear." Clarissa looked over at his pack and tutted. "Did the outfitters not give you any instructions on how to pack your backpack?" He nodded in a lost child way. "I could give you a hand if you would like." Richard thought it couldn't do any harm and his shoulders were killing him. Clarissa opened his pack and began pulling all the contents out of it onto the ground. "The sleeping bag" she started telling him "should be at the bottom" she began and looked at him. He still looked lost and now somewhat embarrassed himself as she went through all of his personal items in his bag. His pants, clothes, food and all his stuff he had just purchased. Clarissa organized into separate piles and began to repack it deftly. When she finished she handed the pack back to him "here" she said "try putting this on and see if it fits a little better." Richard took the pack from her and tried putting it on. "Stop" she said. "Here I will show you an easier way to put one of these on so you won't wreck your back. She grabbed her own and showed him. One hand on the handle strap on the back and one had on the shoulder strap and she slid it up her leg and gently onto her back without any real effort. Taking it off again, she said "give it a try." Richard followed her example and it slid on effortlessly. She felt almost motherly and she realized like usual she was getting too involved. Clarissa apologized again "I'm sorry I am being way too personal with you and I don't even know your name. So, hi I'm Clarissa" and she offered her hand. Richard took it and said that he was grateful for her help. "I can do one more thing for you. Those outfitter stores are not manned by the most adept people and they think everyone had been hiking all their lives. You have six straps on the pack that adjust the weight to your back. This allows you to change the weight distribution on your body depending on the terrain you are walking on. Here" and Clarissa showed him the straps at the shoulders, middle of the shoulder straps and hips giving a good tug on them all to show they worked and then releasing the tension on them by pulling the clips back. At this time she realized that she had been physically pulling on his body and yanking him this way and that. "Oh, sorry again I'm being terribly forward." Richard looked down at her and smiled the most natural smiled he had smiled in years. This little terrier of a woman was really amusing him. He felt like he was at home with his mom though she wasn't as old as his mom. She looked up to see a lovely man smiling down at her and the Clarissa flushed red. "Any way" she stumbled "you can see how it works and the weight should be sitting on your hips not your back or shoulders." Richard manipulated the straps and found his comfort zone. "My names Richard by the way" as he turned to leave, he looked back and said "hope to see you up at the Lake, Clarissa" trying her name out on his lips for the first time, and he walked up the path towards the lake.
Blushing, Clarissa grabbed her pack and slipped it on her back adjusting it as she had shown him. She grabbed her hiking poles and started off after him. She knew she wasn't going to catch up to him, his stride was so much longer that hers. She began scolding herself again. She was always helping the boys out and she keeps forgetting about personal space. Always being a mother, even with the men in camp. They enjoyed it though she thought nice to be mothered every once in awhile.

Set me free.
Teenage daughter, mother ... I don't have a daughter, so I can probably won't understand the anxiety behind this. But If I did, I am sure I would have been as paranoid as this mother. I can't blame either for not understanding. It's just one of those things that one has to experience. Its hard to be on either side.
My mother saw me talking with a boy
With that, her quiet world came to an end
my modesty was irreparably damaged
that no amount penance could ever mend
Yes, it was a obsequious "boy" - I know
but we engaged in harmless conversation
Would this consitute too large a crime
that would require an explanation?
I do have some sense of good and bad
although you think I'm often wrong
But I need to discover this on my own
even if takes me twice as long
There will be girls; there will be boys
that I might encounter along the way
lessons I learnt will forever remind me
the moment that I begin to stray
I appreciate the concern you have
After all, you only wish the best for me
But a little faith is all that I ask
Unbind me and set me free.

#46 – Why software sucks
No one makes bad software on purpose. No benevolent programmer has ever sat down, planning out weeks of work, with the intention of frustrating people and making them cry. Bad software, or bad anything, happens because making things is hard, making good things doubly so. The three things that make it difficult are: Possessing the diverse skills needed not to suck.Understanding who you're making the thing for.Orchestrating the interplay of skills, egos and constraints over the course of the ...

Native Audio with HTML5
Once upon a time, audio on the web lived primarily in the world of third-party browser plug-ins like Flash, QuickTime and Silverlight. This was not a bad world, but it had its issues.For one, most plug-ins require the user to install them, but not all users are willing (or able) to install them. Also, many players built with these plug-ins are inaccessible, making it difficult for folks who use assistive technologies to access the audio or alternative content.Then there are the front-end design ...

In HTML, one can specify two different submission methods for a form. The method is specified inside a FORM element, using the METHOD attribute. The difference between METHOD="GET" (the default) and METHOD="POST" is primarily defined in terms of form data encoding. The official recommendations say that "GET" should be used if and only if the form processing is idempotent, which typically means a pure query form. Generally it is advisabl...

|Separate WC's
|2,500 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
The house faces the downtown skyline and pacific ocean. To the north are the lights defining Grouse and other the Coastal Mountains. The road to Whistler is 2 hours to the north. Mount Baker and America is and to the east is the rest of Canada.
Capitol Hill is a quiet residential neighborhood which is close to downtown on the 135 bus or by car. Hastings Street, a main thoughfare runs to the waterfront from Springer Avenue is just 3 blocks down the hill. It is located between the Holdem and Brentwood skytrain stations from the 129 bus. The house is equipped with dishes and linens for 12 persons (8 beds) at 2 per room. There is a master bedroom with a king sized bed, en suite, and walk-in-closet; there is one queen sized beds on the top floor and one on the lower floor. The is a bedroom (2) bunk beds. Finally, there are two sofa beds. The top floor has 2 full bathrooms. The main floor has the living room (sofa bed), dining room and kitchen and a powder room; The lower floor, as well as the queen-sized bedroom, has the laundry, and a living room space with a sofa bed. There is a small front porch, a back deck, gardens and a yard.
There is Wi Fi and telephone. It is clean, and cozy for family, corporate and other groups.
The view from springervacationhome is spectacular. The house is centrally located in the heart of the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD). It is spacious providing lots of room for groups and families to mingle or be alone. The area is quite and surrounded by parks, but very close to the city if one wants to go downtown and experience the hubbub.The house is close to the trade and convention centers, Simon Fraser University (SFU), British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE), Bridge Studios and Electronic Arts.
All the comforts of home in a peaceful community a few short minutes away from the downtown core
Absolutely no complaints. Stay was fantastic, view of downtown Van was amazing. House super clean and in great location. Owner was very friendly and accommodating. Would recommend this location to anyone.
The house was better than expected. It fit our needs perfectly. It was clean and had everything we needed for the week. The kitchen had what we needed to cook our meals. There were plenty of bathrooms to cover the group we had. And the communication with the owner was outstanding. She was great to keep us informed. We had a snow storm the evening before we checked out. We had to get up early to go to the airport and to our surprise, the owner had shoveled the snow on the sidewalks and around our cars. It was a huge blessing. Next time we are up here, we hope this home is available.
We spent 5 days in this vacation home for my brothers wedding. Deborah was very accommodating and super friendly. Great location and a very spacious home! Highly recommend!
The location of the house was lovely with a beautiful view of Vancouver and the mountains. The house was a perfect size for our party of 8 with enough bedrooms and bathrooms to meet our needs. The home owner was also gracious enough to provide us with a playpen to use for our 9 month old grandson. However, we were dismayed to find dirty floors upon our arrival that necessitated cleaning since we didn't want the grandchildren playing and crawling around on dirty floors, also windows and mirrors were very streaky and spotty. When the homeowner arrived, she was very defensive and short with us about the condition of the home although she did later apologize. In addition, the lawns and landscaping need some work. While it was emphasized that the lawns hadn't been cut for environmental reasons, it was interesting to note that the majority of homes in the area had lawns and gardens that were nicely manicured and lovely to view. It would also have been nice to have new linens and pillows as some of the sheets were tattered and the pillows were in bad shape. Overall, our stay, while enjoyable, could have been better. We definitely would like to return to the area in the future but will not rent the same house.
We spent the Christmas holidays in Burnaby BC with our daughter and her husband's family from Victoria and Nanaimo BC. Our son's family from Oregon also joined us. Seven of us (four adults and three children) stayed eight nights at the Springer Vacation Home, then eight more folks joined us for Christmas day. We were all very comfortable. The VRBO owner Deborah was so accommodating and helpful and personable. She provided a Christmas tree and some ornaments to us for the children to decorate, and she baked us two pies for gifts. She was very busy with her own holiday activities, but whenever we called her with a question or request, she responded immediately. All residents and guests commented about the beautiful Springer house. It was very clean, well-maintained, stocked with plenty of dishes, towels, linens, etc. The grandchildren were delighted with their rooms and the views; their repeated comment was "Awesome!". Thank you so much Deborah. We hope to have another family reunion again before too long, and we will give you a call.
We stayed in this house when our daughter was graduating from SFU in early October. The house was equipped with comfortable beds and bedding, a large kitchen and dining room. It was a lot more comfortable than a hotel and cheaper than booking numerous hotel rooms. The area was beautiful to walk around.it was a very relaxing stay : )
The restaurants in the area are outstanding!!! Favorites were Stans pizza and Cotto!
A book was left with various coupons around Vancouver- wonderful idea!
Would highly recommend this house to friends and family
Thanks Deborah
The property is located on Capitol Hill in North Burnaby, BC Canada.It is central to most other cities and a suburb of Vancouver. It is quiet but close to the action.

1) Springervacationhome welcomes corporate guests and accepts both American Express and Discovery credit cards. Vrbo does not support these cards therefore you will have to call 604-299-9773 and give the credit card information over the phone. The payment will be processed by the CIBC as Springervactionhome on your visa statement. Canadian customers can also call and pay in Canadian funds. 2) The check in time is 16:30 and check out is 10:00 sharp. thank you
3) A damage deposit of $1000.00 is required and held on a credit card, upon arrival, with the proper identification, but is not processed with the booking and the 15-day hold neither appears on the statement afterward, nor accrues interest.
3) The refund policy is: first to offer you (the guest) an alternate date (of equal value) with no loss to client; the second option is to try to re-rent the property with a 10% loss to the guest if the property is rebooked deducted from the refund to cover the credit card and administration fees; the third option is to encourage guests to make an early booking (definitely recommended) to insure specific dates, but inform you that if you are uncertain of your plans, please do not book, until you are certain, as a refund is not guaranteed. Refunds will be considered based on the circumstances of the guest's specific and/or difficult situation (with proof required) and only at the owner's discretion.
4) Capitol Hill is a quiet residential neighbourhood zoned for family living and cannot be used as a reception hall for large events because the infrastructure cannot support the parking, refuse, noise, etc. There is parking for four to six cars on the street; four in front of the house and two spaces in the back lane between the houses, but there is no parking at the neighbour's houses; a policy that is strictly enforced.
5) I thank-you for your understanding in these matters and i hope your group chooses Springervacationhome for your Vancouver vacation.

However, the code, prepared by the BioIndustry Association, does not oblige companies to disclose more information about their drugs than do existing London Stock Exchange rules. "We are setting out principles, not rules," said Robert Mansfield, chairman of the BIA.
"The interpretation that we are going to bring a big whip to the industry is wrong." The code requires biotechs to publish information about their drugs that may be price sensitive only at an "appropriate" time, and to the London Stock Exchange in the first instance.
Mr Mansfield said that meant there would be less disclosure of information. "We want to stop leaks to lawyers and bankers," he said. "It would be sensible for companies to remain silent whilst in communication with regulators." The BIA said it was shareholders' responsibility to ensure that biotech companies comply with the code. Last month the London Stock Exchange censured British Biotech for issuing misleading announcements on the prospects of one of its drugs whilst it was still seeking regulatory approval. The scandal might not have happened if the code had existed in 1997 and shareholders had enforced it, Mr Mansfield said.

Jeff Schreve
Acts 16:22-34
Lord we praise You, and we bless You and we clap our hands to You. Lord You are worthy and our minds can't comprehend what it is going to be like that day we meet You in glory. Lord thank You for the promise that You have given to us and that is eternal life and that starts the moment that we receive You as Savior and Lord and it culminates in the day when faith turns to sight. And we get to meet You face to face Lord, the One that we have known heart to heart. And God I ask You to speak as You have spoken through the music to speak through this message and speak through the power of Your Word to our hearts that our lives would be changed. Holy Spirit of God move and sweep through this place remove the blinders that the devil has put on eyes, break chains. Change people's lives by Your mighty power for we pray in Jesus' name amen.
Hollywood is known for producing tough guy, guys that have so much machismo and so much power in the movies. Clint Eastwood, macho man, he was Dirty Harry, he is known for saying things like ''You feeling lucky punk?'' Do you remember that when he was Dirty Harry? ''Go ahead make my day'', he wanted you to shoot at him I mean he is just a tough guy. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a tough guy, famous for being the ''Terminator'' ''I'll be back'' is what he said.
''Rambo'' he tears up his arm and he pulls out a needle and thread, sews up his own arm? That is just tough. But none of those guys can compare to the toughest guy around and that guy is Chuck Norris. (Laughter) Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris did a slew of martial arts movies and then he caught on in 1993 with the show that really took the nation by storm especially in our part of the world, ''Walker Texas Ranger''.

An Interview With ASNE's Incoming President
Rick Rodriguez, executive editor of the Sacramento Bee, and a longtime colleague and dear friend, will be the new president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors.
Rick started his career as a kid working for the Salinas Californian, his hometown newspaper. He worked for the Fresno Bee and later joined the Sacramento Bee as a reporter in the Capitol bureau. From there, it was a steady rise up the ladder: assistant bureau chief, assistant managing editor, managing editor, and then his current post.
He is a graduate of Stanford University, and will be the first Latino to serve as ASNE president.
Before taking the gavel at the annual convention next week, Rick, who is currently ASNE vice president, sat down for an interview.
Favre: You once said you took a pay cut to leave a job in a tortilla factory and take a job as a newspaper reporter. What drove you to become a journalist?
Rodriguez: I was working at a Mexican grocery store that included a tortilla factory, when I went to work as a copy boy at the Salinas Californian. I did take a 10-cent an hour pay cut. I had just graduated from high school, where I had been editor of the school paper for two years. I went to work at the Californian at a time when Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers union were beginning to organize in the fields. I went out to the front lines, first to translate, then I fairly quickly started writing stories. I had a ringside seat to history, and coupled with the fact that I loved to read and write, I was hooked on the profession. What really sealed the deal was the support I got from a series of mentors throughout my career, great journalists and people who respected my work and made me want to reach higher.
Did you ever dream that you would someday be president of ASNE?
Never. It's quite an honor to be selected by your colleagues for such a high-profile position. I'm truly honored.
Your umbrella theme for your presidency is "Unleashing the Watchdogs." Why did you choose this theme and what do you hope to accomplish?
I've always been interested in investigative and public service journalism and it seems now as much as ever that kind of journalism will set us apart from other media. What I hope to do with that theme is to bring attention once again to a kind of journalism many of us entered the profession to do. Editors today have lots of demands on them that they didn't have 20 years ago. But we still have control over what kinds of stories we pursue and where we can make a difference. Investigative journalism that is done fairly and thoroughly gives us the unique content the Northwestern readership study talks about. And my theme will also help us to focus on ethical standards, issues of credibility and First Amendment issues. I also think it's a topic that resonates throughout newsrooms. At the same time we're doing the serious journalism, we also need to encourage newsrooms to have fun doing the journalism.
What other goals do you have for ASNE in the coming year?
Another major goal is to get cooperation and coordination between ASNE and other journalism groups. Too often, we spend time reinventing the wheel when what we ought to be doing is building off of each other. There are limited resources available, so let's work together to accomplish the goals we share.
You will be the first Latino elected ASNE president and you have spent much of your career fighting for diversity in newsrooms and in coverage of communities. How do you think the industry is doing in this area and what should be the next steps? How do we attract and retain more journalists of color?
The industry is just doing OK. We've obviously made strides over the past 20 years, but we have a long way to go. It takes work to bring diversity to a newsroom because it's a combination of recruiting, nurturing and retaining. Attracting journalists of color will be difficult for years to come partly because I don't see a lot of serious commitment from many companies and partly because not enough students of color are going to college, let alone selecting print journalism as their majors or career choices. In California, for example, a new report shows that about half of Latino and African American male students don't graduate from high school. Right there you're starting with a vastly limited pool of potential journalists. ASNE can act as a bully pulpit, and it has been a leader in extolling the virtues of diversity. But the real movement has to come from individual companies and newsrooms. Success in diversifying a newsroom really takes commitment from the top. Without it, it won't take hold.
What are you hearing from colleagues across the country about the future of the newspaper business, and do you sense there is less or more angst among newsroom leaders?
There is still a lot of uncertainty and angst among editors. The industry is changing. The demands on editors are changing. There are different kinds of competitive pressures. But editing a paper is still a great job because as an editor, you can control where to use your resources, how you can make a difference in a community, and how you can entertain and inform your readers. It's still fun and challenging and like no other job.
If you look down the road a year from now, how will you measure the success of your year as president?
I guess if we've made people think about critical issues like the use of anonymous sources, readership, diversity, ethics, and we've established relationships with other groups that help advance our profession, I'll be happy.
Committee work is the heart of ASNE. What are some things your committees are working on in their efforts to make newspapers better?
We have lots of good things going on, a lot of them tied in with the watchdog theme. We'll focus on providing an ethical foundation for aspiring high school and college students. We'll have what we hope to be a national dialogue on the use of anonymous sources through our Ethics and Values Committee. We're setting up a pilot program through our Diversity Committee to have our newsrooms work with local ethnic media to cooperate on stories that we might not ordinarily get. Our Readership Committee will be looking at how we can respond and attract those who say they are "too busy to read." That's just a sampling.
You have followed the readership studies carefully for the past few years. What are some of the lessons editors should take away from what has been learned?
A few really stick with me. One is the need to produce unique content, which is why I am really sold on investigative reporting. Another is that people say they don't see themselves in newspapers. We need to find ways to connect with our readers, to learn and write about what is important in their everyday lives. And again, I think we also have to be entertaining, fun as well as useful.
What advice do you have for young men and women who want to be journalists? And what should journalism schools be doing to help prepare students for a successful career in newsrooms?
You have to start with a solid ethical foundation. I'm concerned about recent reports that large numbers of high school students don't believe in or know about the First Amendment, that many college students see nothing wrong with plagiarism. I would tell students and journalism schools that credibility is something we need to emphasize. It's something that can set us apart. As far as journalism careers go, I'd tell students that there is always going to be a need for people who can clearly communicate. In the future, those who do it well will be in great demand and those who can do it in different media channels will be even more in demand.
How have you gone about creating a culture of watchdog journalism in your newsroom?
We're doing it piece by piece through hires, training, and an emphasis on beat reporting. I think the best watchdog journalism starts with good beat reporting. Managing editor Joyce Terhaar and I have emphasized that and it has paid off. As for training, we've brought great investigative reporters to speak to us; we've done computer-assisted reporting training; we worked with IRE to bring a Better Watchdog conference and in-house training here to Sacramento and about 50 Bee reporters and editors attended. We've given reporters time to do some terrific impact journalism. I think the culture is well on the way to being established but there's much more to do.

We strive to treat every customer with fairness and respect. Whenever a claim is denied it is because it is not covered under the terms of the customers contract. Every year we have thousands of satisfied customers that have peace of mind knowing their repairs have been covered under our vehicle service plans. This claim was reviewed and determined to be a pre-existing problem.
This customers contract had a 30 day/ 1000 mile pre-existing period. He called in 10 days and 221 miles after his pre-existing period expired with the complaints of a whining noise in the morning, a shudder in the steering, and a ticking noise under the hood. All of these problems he said he noticed when it got cold, which he said was a couple of days ago. The mechanic diagnosed a leaking power steering rack.
The customer did send in a record from a 60-point inspection that was done before he purchased his contract. However, there was nothing documented stating what was checked to know if the leak was there or not and he failed to provide us anything demonstrating what was inspected.
An inspector from a third-party company was sent in to verify the failure. The inspector is a certified mechanic. When looking at the leak he stated: all leaks appear to be long term with road grime build up. We also had our master technician look at the report and the pictures that were taken and he also determined this leak was there for longer than 10 days because there was build up. This leak in the power steering rack was not something that occurred in the last 10 days. The customer may have noticed the noise after his pre-existing period had expired, however his contract clearly states that a failure is pre-existing if its condition may reasonably be assumed to have existed prior to the sale date/miles of this contract or prior to the expiration of the pre-existing period.
We are following the terms of the contract and even sent in an inspector to verify that this problem was pre-existing. Unfortunately, some people do purchase our service contracts with the intent of filing claims for failures that already exist on their vehicles at the time of purchase. When problems arise, we advise customers to please contact us directly so we can help resolve their concerns.
AWS maintains the cleanest reputation in the vehicle service contract industry. A simple search of competitors in the industry will demonstrate that AWS maintains the best image and lowest number of complaints due to our commitment to customer service and strong business values.

On a cloying, compelling afternoon Australia revealed their grand design for the Ashes. It is based on one of the oldest, most effective and terrorising weapons in the game: the bouncer.
When propelled at high pace as inevitably it was on the second day of the First Test, it intimidates batsmen so that it disturbs their mind and erodes their soul. Michael Clarke, Australia's captain, will know precisely how England felt as he urged his bowlers to turn up the gas.
He had been brutally exposed himself in his side's first innings, made to look a nincompoop. It was not retribution he sought necessarily, he has simply come to recognise the menace. Welcome to Bodyline, gentlemen.
Was that Douglas Jardine looking down through the harsh glare of a Queensland day and smiling, fondly remembering perhaps his legacy to the world left 81 years ago when England launched their own assault? And was that Pelham Warner, his manager, grimacing at the prospect of it all over again? It would be a travesty if every match was based on this but amid the ferocity there was something beautiful about it.
Not all of England's batsmen fell to the bouncer or the short ball on a rapid, lively pitch but they all realised with grim certainty that another one was coming along soon. Mitchell Johnson, who had talked the talk before the series, walked the walk in a thrilling exhibition of irresistible, hostile, potent and rapid bowling.
He was supported importantly by the exemplary Ryan Harris, who was also unafraid to give his opponents the chance to smell leather. The important intervention of the off-spinner, Nathan Lyon, himself assisted by bounce, merely compounded England's misery.
It all went horribly wrong in that second session of play, the period of the day known to Australians as the arvo. Johnson's drooping moustache made him look as fearsome as Emiliano Zapata, the Mexican revolutionary who gave his name to the facial growth. He loped in and let it go as Emiliano did to government forces.
England lost six wickets for 39 runs in 25 overs but six of them went down for nine in 13.3 tortured overs. Three times before, England had suffered comparable collapses, the last in Melbourne in 1990 when they went from 147-4 to 150 all out when their nemesis was another mercurial left arm fast bowler called Bruce Reid.
If the bowling was impressive it was supported by some cunning captaincy by Clarke. He changed his bowlers often, in Johnson's case he switched them from one end to another. He suggested a different line of attack from over and round the wicket, crucially he sensed when the opponents were ready to crumble.
There was, as on the first day of a series which threatens now to be full of fire and brimstone, a key moment. It arrived in the last over of the first session, before the arvo began.
Australia had been bowled out for 295 and England would have been feeling pretty pleased with life. They lost Alastair Cook, their captain, much earlier, about a day earlier, than they would have liked when he edged a ball from Harris which lifted and moved away outside off stump.
In came Jonathan Trott, out came the bumper. Trott could not settle in the crease, Johnson was moving him around it with a series of well directed balls aimed at the head. Perhaps he was unlucky when he nicked one of these aimed down the leg side but it was a plan perfectly hatched and executed as the batsman moved across his crease yet again. Trott needs to seek urgent counsel from someone because this sort of fallibility can terminate careers. Like Clarke the day before it was almost sad to see a player of such high accomplishment treated in this manner.
For a brief passage before the flames began spitting from Johnson's mouth, Kevin Pietersen, in his 100 Test, flirted with the idea of doing something special for the occasion. But he was too carried away with imposing himself and clipped a ball from Harris to mid-wicket. That made England 82 for 3 and it was to become a whole lot worse.
The tourist's top scorer was Michael Carberry, a man playing only his second Test at the age of 33, nearly four years after the first. He had provided a minor master class in the art of leaving the ball and he ignored most of the stuff that was pitched up outside off, of which there was not much, and the short-pitched battery, of which there was plenty.
Johnson, moving fittingly from the Stanley Street End to the Vulture Street End, changed his line of attack to round the wicket. He whistled a couple past Carberry's nose and then forced him to play at a ball searing at him around off stump.
At this stage, of course, there was always Ian Bell. In the summer there had always been Bell. But Lyon removed him with a snaking, lifting ball which he played off bat and pad to short leg and then did more or less precisely the same to Matt Prior next ball. It was one of those beastly quirks of sport, of life: England had spent days ensuring Prior was fit for this match after sustaining a torn calf and then he goes and lasts one ball.
There was a brief, brave riposte from Stuart Broad who was greeted to a succession of bouncers and took most of them on before being caught in the deep hooking once more. But the truth was out. If England are to find harmony on this tour they have to learn to play chin music.

Canada will stop processing visa applications from foreign nationals who have visited West African nations with large outbreaks of the Ebola virus, Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander said Friday.
Applications will be returned to people from Ebola hot spots who have already applied for visas, officials said in a press release.
The changes do not affect Canadians currently in West Africa, the press release said. Health care workers in West Africa will be permitted to travel back to Canada.
The action is similar to that taken by Australia several days ago.
"Our number one priority is to protect Canadians," Alexander said. "We continue to work with domestic and international partners to aid efforts to respond to the outbreak in West Africa, while strengthening our domestic preparedness here at home."
Also on Friday, the United Nations Ebola coordinator said it's not necessary to quarantine people merely because they come from Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea.
"People do not need to be quarantined unless they have come into contact with people have Ebola or unless they have symptoms," said Dr. David Nabarro, U.N. system coordinator on Ebola.

Lord Alexander MontagueMature
Light streamed through the archway, bleaching my lids red. I placed my hand over my eyes and opened them. I moved my hand, looking around at my room. It was simply furnished. I got out from the covers, clutching my chest from the pain. From habit my fingers traced the scar.
I sighed and walked through the archway leading to a balcony.
The sun was slowly rising, showering the great city of Helos with a soft orange light. Slowly the marble pathway descended down in a straight line through the city, cleaving it in two and at the botton, the harbour walls and crystal water held a bustling trade life. Next to my abode stood the Temple, the largest building in the city surrounded by pillars and steps.
I slipped on a tunic and touched the shoulder of my wife. Her gentle eyelids fluttered open. She smiled up under her large lashes, her mahogany curls dropping onto the bed as she grabbed my neck to kiss me.
"Don't go," she pleaded.
"You know I don't have a choice, the King calls for me," just a year ago I had battled a Magi who had summoned a dragon. I had defeated him... at a cost. It was only thanks to a wandering Dryad that I had been healed and allowed to live, to return to my wife. But with my improving health, I had been placed on several patrols to build up my strength and skills once more and now... now the King wanted to place me on the front line again, "I am close to the King, I may be able to stay a few more weeks, but I cannot put it off forever, he grows impatient for my return to commandeer the front line."
She bowed her head, grabbing my shoulder and pulling me down onto the bed. She kissed me passionately but I pulled away, "I have to go my dear Helen, I shall return."
I threw on my cloak and left the house, walking down the path with my sword slung on my shoulder along with my special bow, my breastplate on my chest and greaves on my legs and a horsehair helmet under my arm.
"Get her ready!" I called to the harbour and stepped onto my ship. I sighed as I looked down the Agean River, ready to go to the Capital and so, ready to join the war.

Employers who pay out severance to their employees run certain risks that need to be considered beforehand. Some employers have learned the hard way that severance agreements aren't always the best course of action. Last year, the University of Oregon received bad press when it was discovered that former head coach Mike Bellotti received a substantial payout upon his departure.
Recent temperatures in the northeast were near record lows, meaning employees working in cold temperatures could face serious health risks. Cold weather is particularly dangerous to employees spending long hours outside, such as construction workers. Prolonged exposure to freezing or cold temperatures can result in serious health problems like trench foot, frostbite, hypothermia, and in extreme cases death. With winter bearing down upon us, it is a good time to familiarize yourself and your employees with the danger signs and important tips to protect them from the cold weather and potentially serious health threats.
With the Holiday Season in full swing, many employers ask us about the wisdom of holding company parties where alcohol will be served. They generally want to know about the risk involved if an employee drinks too much at the party and misbehaves, or worse, injures or kills someone on the way home.
Every year at this time it's traditional to look back and review the year's highlights. Our list is a bit of a twist, however. If there is anything that sets labor and employment law apart from other areas practiced by our legal brethren, it seems to be the high percentage of odd fact situations that crop up. Here are a few that we'll reminisce about for a long time.

Good question.
But, imho, not the proper one.
What they/'we' should be asking is: What are we gonna do when the Dems DON'T regain power?
Cuz, good vibrations and hope and earnest desire notwithstanding, there is nothing on the landscape that suggests to me that the coming 'election' can withstand a concerted effort to steal it, again.
For there to be any protection against another out-right theft, the SCUM* will have to pick up the story. There are several reasons why they won't.
1) There are already floating about several narrative possibilities to explain how the vote-as-counted can be at WIDE variance from the pre-vote polls.
2) The SCUM have a structural bias in favor of the status quo. Supportable claims of massive electoral malfeasance would challenge--and endanger--the whole house of cards of which the SCUM (either the actors themselves or--more likely--their employers and owners) are staunch up-holders and major stock-holders.
3) The SCUM honor process, not results. They report Barry Bonds' home runs faithfully, despite the claims that he's juiced himself. They report the legislative fate of bills, despite the machinations that ensued to bring about the results. In a horse-race, the splits don't matter til you're trying to handicap the next race.
I believe that, optimism and polls notwithstanding, there is a very high probability that the SCUM will report an Nov. 8 that, improbably but not inexplicably, the Pukes have lost ground, but remain in control over BOTH houses of Congress.
So the question under consideration, at least in the back of the discourse, ought to be: What then?

A Tory-led council is using Youtube to save local taxpayers' money - to decidedly mixed acclaim.
Tory-led Hammersmith and Fulham posted a 60-second film with a cover version of Down Down - an old Status Quo track harking back to 1975 - to announce its second 3% council tax cut in a row.
A spokesman for the council said it was trying to 'box clever' to find the cheapest ways to communicate with the local public.
Ironically, these very savings - including cutting the number of press officers and ending the council's relationship with glossy brochures - have contributed to council tax cuts which will be the envy of local taxpayers up and down the country.
A council spokesman said the film had proved to be value for money. "It cost us £500, which is half the cost of a quarter page in the local paper. We have already reached more people than through a newspaper advert."
Our man in west London must be referring to the coverage in today's Evening Standard, which alerted us to the film. The headline rather accurately reads: "Tories boast of tax cuts with worst ever YouTube pop video."
"Did you like it?" asked the excited press officer. "Yes", I lied. It felt churlish to point out that resorting to Status Quo isn't most people's idea of sexing up local government. But hey, it's a start.
The council believes it is the first local authority in the country to use YouTube as part of its media strategy. Some may argue the bar has been set rather low.
