|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 7
Background: Font color:
"Due to unforeseen circumstances the Hufflepuff Vs Gryffindor Quidditch match has been cancelled. The Halloween feast will not take place and Students are not to leave their common rooms until told otherwise." Said Genevieve, the Transfiguration teacher and Dylan's cousin. She rolled up the parchment slowly and looked at Dylan. No one knew exactly why they were forced to stay in the common rooms but everyone had noticed how Piper and Colette weren't there and how James Potter had suddenly come back to school. The common room had a sullen atmosphere. Genevieve took a deep breath.
"As the Head girl isn't present Hilary Silverstone has been made head girl."
"Where's Piper?" Hilary asked, pushing through the crowd. "And Colette. I haven't seen them all day. They were supposed to be with you." She said to James.
"I haven't seen them either." James said. "I'm not sure if we should tell you but Piper and Colette have gone missing." Dylan heard the Gryffindors all gasp in shock. Sophie rubbed his arm reassuringly.
"They're not missing." Dylan muttered, "Piper's as good as dead."
"It's not your fault" Harper said.
"It is." Dylan said.
"How? All you did was see the prophecy." Fraser said. They were all trying to cheer up Dylan but it was difficult as they weren't particularly happy themselves.
"How does that make it any different. Piper's dead." Dylan said. The others gave up trying to cheer him up. He was just making it harder.
"We don't know that Piper's dead. You saw it in a vision, it doesn't mean that it's actually coming true now." Sophie said. Dylan looked at her. He knew she was right. He nodded and slouched in the chair. There was nothing he could do. Just wait until he received the news that his sister was dead. He closed his eyes and tried to just ignore the noise around him.
Everyone was whispering about Piper and Colette going missing. Even his friends, though they were talking in hushed voices. Dylan felt like it was all his fault. Piper had gone missing because of him. But she hadn't taken his warning very seriously had she? So it wasn't his fault, it was her fault. Dylan suddenly got up and went to his dorm, he just wanted to sleep and try and forget about everything that had happened today.
* * * * *
The week went slowly for Dylan and the rest of his family. There had been an article in the Prophet about the two missing teens and Dylan was trying to find as much information as possible. He wanted to get his sister back. Kevin and Holly had taken to moping around saying how they had never meant to annoy Piper as much as they did. They seemed to like her more then they showed. Nick had decided to not talk to anyone but Charisma and Dylan had a suspicion that they were dating each other now. Everyone had quickly presumed that Colette and Piper were dead and that there was no chance they were going to get back. Well there was one thing that everyone got right and that was that the girls had been taken by deatheaters. Dylan sat in Transfiguration watching a subdued Genevieve teach them how to change a beetle into a button.
"Who ever can change the beetle first will earn ten points for their house. If you have any difficulties do not hesitate to ask for help." Genevieve said. Dylan did it easily. He had three goes before managing to change his beetle. Fraser wasn't as successful and accidentally squashed his beetle using Rachel's Transfiguration textbook.
"Urgh," Rachel said picking up her book by the corner and handing it to Harper.
"I'm not taking it." Harper said.
"Oh, here." Genevieve said taking the book and removing the dead beetle by magic. "And here's another beetle." Genevieve said putting another beetle on the desk.
"Thank you." Fraser said shyly. Genevieve nodded and set off around the classroom.
"Dylan, how did you do that?" Sophie asked.
"Like this." Dylan said. He showed Sophie how and Sophie copied. Her beetle changed almost immediately.
"Oh, well done. You two both get ten points." Genevieve said. She didn't seem to be in the mood to teach anything and obviously wasn't making that much of an effort.
"What's up with Professor Vergara?" Harper asked.
"Piper was her favourite cousin." Dylan said glumly.
"Oh right." Harper said. The bell rang and Genevieve took all the buttons, most of the buttons had legs, hard shells and antennae.
"Those of you who did not succeed I would like you to practice the transfiguration for homework." The class got up silently and shuffled out of the classroom. The whole school had gone pretty quiet with only peeves going around and occasionally singing Taps, a muggle army bugle call, when any of the Weasleys or Nick passed him. Dylan and his friends passed him now and Peeves floated in the air inches above Dylan humming taps and he had made up some words this time.
"Potter's gone, like the sun, she got killed squashed and-"
"Shut up Peeves!" Dylan snapped as he turned around.
"Would you like my other version then? I think you'll just love it." Peeves said, "Weasley's dead, our favourite head-"
"PEEVES!" Genevieve snapped as she came out of the classroom. "I thought the Bloody Baron spoke to you about singing these songs in the hall ways."
"Sorry Professor miss." Peeves said taking his hat off and giving a long and deep bow in mid air before darting off.
"Oh, I am going to talk to Minerva about him." Genevieve said marching towards the headmistress's office. Dylan's friends turned to Dylan. He had his fists clenched and he looked ready to hurt anyone, given the opportunity.
"Calm down Dylan. Piper's not, you know-" Rachel said uncertainly.
"Whatever." He muttered before turning around and walking away.
"Dylan." Rachel said.
"Leave it." Sophie told her. "He's been wanting some time to himself for a while."
"And he can't get that in the common room" Fraser said. The girls nodded and the four of them went to the hall.
Dylan found himself heading towards the north tower when he heard Harrietta Malfoy talking to her friends.
"Urgh, I discovered that my dad works for Potter last night." Harrietta muttered angrily. "He's always encourage me to be-well no he hasn't always encouraged me but he was supposed to be a dark wizard. Turns out he's good"
"That's not good" Justin said. Justin was one of Harrietta Malfoy's 'friends' he always hung around with her because she was a Malfoy. "Why is he working for Potter?"
"Something about they shared a sister, which is twisted!" Harrietta said, "It means I'm related to that big headed James Potter and that Nick Potter." There was a pause.
"What about Seth? Has he joined the ranks of the new dark lord yet?" Asked Justin.
"NO! I can't believe him, my brother is supposed to be a respectable Malfoy and he's gone and helped with the search."
"But I thought Seth hated Gryffindors." Said Justin. He sounded as smart as he really was.
"I thought so to but apparently him and James Potter are really good friends" Harrietta said, "He was even offered a chance to be part of Gringotts Raiders. Seth is a lying piece of filth, I'm surprised he got into Slytherin, he's so-"
"I wondered why he never picked fights." Said a girl. She had a high voice and Dylan knew it was Pat.
"Yeah, he stopped the fights. He's helping that Mudblood find her daughter. If you ask me Piper Weasley and Colette Potter deserve to die." Harrietta Malfoy said. Dylan went around the corner and held his wand out.
"Don't you dare say that." He said.
"Why not Weasley?" Harrietta Malfoy said turning to look at him. "Think your sister is actually still alive? The less people like her there are in this world the better." Dylan let out a stream of jinxes and each one hit Harrietta, Justin or Pat.
"Don't you ever speak about my sister like that again. She's better then you'll ever be Malfoy." Dylan said. Looking at Harrietta. He walked past a slightly deformed Harrietta Malfoy and started up the steps of the North tower to the old Divination room. Dylan went up the ladder into the classroom and proceeded in kicking a pouffe at the wall. He let out a shout of frustration and he felt like hitting something or someone, Harrietta Malfoy, but he couldn't because she was a girl.
"Stupid morals and conscience" Dylan said bitterly. "Stupid prophecy, deatheaters and everything else." Dylan wanted his sister back. It was strange not hearing from her. He didn't have anyone to confide to, his friends were ok but Piper knew everything about him and wouldn't make any assumptions about his feelings or anything. Dylan sat down and stared out of the window at the mountains that surrounded the school. Everything was so tranquil, even the wind had died down and was being good and nice. Dylan felt so bad, he hated this. Why was the world getting darker and it would be his family in the front line wouldn't it? Why couldn't have been someone else's parents who had defeated the last dark lord. Why did Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley have to be the ones who were best friends on the famous Harry Potter! It just meant they were all in danger. And on top of that Dylan thought he was beginning to get some sort of new feelings for one of his best friends.
"No, we're just friends." Dylan muttered to himself. "We promised" But every time Sophie looked at him he did feel a bit better, and she was really pretty. Dylan shook his head and stared outside the window. He saw a single carriage coming up to the castle and he stood up. He opened the window and peered out. Two figures stepped out. The minister of Magic and her deputy.
"Mum." Dylan whispered. The two figures spoke below them and Dylan sat back down in the big seat that the teacher obviously used to sit in. He put his bag down and decided he needed to do something to get his mind off his sister and Sophie. He pulled out his charms work and began to do the work until an owl came to the window and tapped on it. Dylan looked up and just stared at the owl. It had a letter in it's beak that had small slightly slanted handwriting that Dylan recognised. He got up slowly and went to the window.
The owl flew in and put the letter into Dylan's hand before flying away. Dylan closed the window and sat down again. He opened up the letter and read it slowly
Please can you come to the entrance hall as soon as you get this letter? We need to talk about Piper. Bring your dream recorder with you. We want to get her back as much as you do and your friends have told us that you've missed all your lessons except Transfiguration.
Please come and meet me
Dylan put the letter down and dug into his bag and put his hand around a smooth glass orb and closed his eyes. He saw the vision again.
"Ah, miss Weasley." The woman said with an evil smirk. "Nice of you to join us." Dylan looked around the room. He couldn't recognise it at all.
"This meeting was prophesised and as long as the prophet is alive you won't succeed. That's all I'm helping you with. If you need my help again bring something that will make it worth my while to help you." Said Jessica Lowe. A different prophecy. Dylan kept his eyes closed. As long as the Prophet is alive they wouldn't succeed. How was that possible. Dylan wished he had Piper's knowledge, she was so much cleverer then he was. Dylan opened his eyes and decided he'd just let his mum figure it out for him. He was too tired to figure it all out. Too many things were at play and his mum probably knew better then anyone else. Dylan packed up his bag and left the room and went down the ladder. He got to the bottom of the steps from the north tower as Harper walked past looking in a book.
"Hey." Dylan said dully. Harper started with surprise and looked at Dylan.
"Where have you been? We've all been so worried about you" Harper asked going to him and giving him a hug.
"Thinking" Dylan said. "Well I've got to go and see my mum. See ya."
"Ok. I'll see you in a bit ok?" Harper said. Dylan nodded and he headed towards the entrance hall. Hermione was standing with her arms crossed and looking at a portrait of some old wizard. April was talking to Professor McGonagall quickly and quietly.
"Hey." Dylan said. Hermione turned and smiled. She knew that Dylan didn't really like hugs or big welcomes.
"Dylan. Have you got your dream recorder?" Hermione asked in a sort of official voice. Dylan put his hand in his bag and held it out for Hermione. She took it and gave it to April.
"Thanks. Minerva do you mind if we use the antechamber coming off the great hall?" April asked.
"Of course not." McGonagall said. Dylan followed Hermione and April as they walked to the Great hall. A few people were still eating and watched curiously as April and Hermione went through the hall.
"MUM!" Kevin shouted waving his hand. Hermione looked over and gave him a smile before going into the antechamber. It was dark but April lit a fire in the fireplace and the room was filled with flickering fire light.
"Here, sit down Dylan." April said conjuring a chair. Dylan sat down and looked at the adults.
"Why am I here?" Dylan asked them.
"In school or here with us?" April asked with a slight smirk. Hermione gave April a tired look. "I'm old Hermione."
"Just gone sixty, that's not old." Hermione said.
"You wait until you're my age." April said. Hermione gave a mutter of annoyance.
"Have you found Piper?" Dylan asked.
"Um, not yet but we're making progress" April said.
"How?" Dylan asked.
"Hermione, keep an eye on Dylan. I'm going to have a quick look at this boy's dreams" April said. Hermione nodded and April sat down and looked into the orb and closed her eyes. Hermione sighed and turned to Dylan.
"Are you ok? It must be difficult for you." Hermione said.
"Yeah." Dylan muttered.
"We'll get Piper back."
"We wont" Dylan said.
"No, Dylan we will, it'll be ok." Hermione said optimistically. Dylan looked at his mum and into her hazel brown eyes.
"No we wont. Piper's going to die." Dylan said, "I saw it in a prophecy."
"We don't know that for sure and prophecies can be avoided." Hermione said.
"How?" Dylan asked.
"They just can Dylan." Hermione said hopefully. "How is quidditch?"
"The game was cancelled." Dylan said. Hermione sighed and put a hand on Dylan's head.
"School?" Hermione asked.
"Mum, how do you produce a patronus?" Dylan asked.
"A Patronus?" Hermione asked slightly surprised.
"Yeah, I want to be able to create a Patronus." Dylan said.
"Oh, they're really not easy." Hermione said. "Incredibly complex magic"
"But you managed it and Harry did it when he was my age."
"He was in his third year."
"No difference." Dylan said. "How do you make a Patronus?"
"Well, I guess you know the spell but before you can make one you have to think of a really happy thought." Hermione said. Dylan nodded and went to watching April. She shivered slightly before she opened her eyes.
"That bitch, can't keep her nose out of anything." She muttered.
"Who?" Dylan asked.
"Jessica Lowe. Why haven't I been informed about half of these prophecies? I should have been told that Jessica has been brought into the equation." April said to Hermione.
"I did tell you." Hermione said. "You must have forgotten it."
"Not likely." April said. "I've been looking two particular prophecies. The one with Jessica Lowe and the last one. I'll have to take this to get it looked at by the unspeakables and I have to get in contact with the African Ministry. We need to bring down Jessica Lowe before anything happens there. Africa has too many talented witches and wizards." Hermione nodded.
"So, anything new?" Dylan asked.
"No." April said, "But I did notice that the building your sister was in seemed to be an abandoned place. Hermione get the law enforcement office on that job and some of the aurors. Dylan, you can go back to your common room."
"Is there any way I can help?" Dylan asked hopefully. April looked at Dylan.
"Yes, try not to fight with the youngest Malfoy." April said.
"I'm a legillmens Dylan, you know that" April said. "listen to everything that Grout tells you, his knowledge is incredibly valuable and he'll be able to teach you a lot." April looked at Hermione and Hermione nodded.
"We have to go, you'll be ok won't you?" Hermione asked Dylan. Dylan nodded and Hermione gave him a hug.
"Mum." He said slightly annoyed.
"I'll send you an owl if we find out any more." She whispered. Dylan looked at her slightly surprised. His mum rarely sent anyone any information unless it was authorised. Dylan had often heard his dad nagging at her and asking her to share information.
"We'll go by Floo, it's quicker." April said. She conjured a bag of Floo powder. Soon both women were gone and Dylan was left on his own in the antechamber. He sighed and left the antechamber. He slowly walked up the castle, deciding to take a slightly longer route around the castle Dylan didn't feel like talking right now but he had to get back to the common soon because it was nearly his curfew.
Dylan climbed through the portrait hole at exactly curfew time. He saw his friends sitting on a sofa arguing about something.
"Sophie you're wrong." Harper said.
"Actually I agree with Sophie." Rachel said nodding.
"Yeah," Sophie said.
"Why are you girls arguing about this?" Fraser asked.
"Because it's fun." The girls all answered. Dylan walked up and dumped his bag on the floor next to the sofa.
"Hi guys." He said quietly.
"Hey, sit next to us, you look tired." Harper said. Dylan muttered something under his breath and sat down on the chair next to Harper.
"What are you arguing about?" Dylan asked.
"That gnomes would make interesting pets" Sophie announced proudly. "I think they would but Harper doesn't."
"Why not?" Dylan asked. Harper rolled her eyes.
"Ok, promise not to laugh." She said.
"We'll try." Rachel said with a smirk.
"I'm scared of Gnomes." Harper said. Everyone tried to suppress the smiles that broke out on their faces, even Dylan.
"Wow, you're scared of the strangest things." Fraser said. He received a light hit from Harper and he just decided to smile.
"Oh my god Harper." Sophie said with a grin, "You are so strange."
"If you think I'm strange, wait until you meet my sister." Harper said. "She just sits there like this." Harper looked at us with her head to one side with a geeky grin and wide eyes. "Ooo, big people" She said in a high voice.
"I'm sure your sister isn't like that."
"Yes she is." Harper said going back to usual. "Oh, did you hear someone curse the hell out of Malfoy and her group." Harper said excitedly.
"Really? Where did you hear that from?" Fraser asked. Dylan squirmed slightly and sank into his seat.
"Joanne told me and I kinda saw them being carted off to the hospital wing. I wonder what happened." Harper asked.
"What did they look like?" Sophie asked with a grin.
"Well they looked like they had been hit with a jumble of spells that shouldn't be mixed." Harper said.
"Well I could kiss the person who did that." Sophie said, "It means no Harrietta Malfoy for at least a week!" Dylan looked up at Sophie's first statement. No, just friends. He told himself.
"I wonder who would do that though." Fraser said. Harper shrugged at this and Dylan closed his eyes.
"It was me." He said slowly.
"What!" Harper asked amazed. "Dylan that was great, why did you curse them?"
"Um, because they were slagging off my sister." Dylan told them.
"Oh." Came the reply as the group went slightly quiet.
"Well, do you want your kiss now or later?" Sophie asked with a smirk. Rachel grinned as well.
"Um…later?" Dylan asked.
"Ok." Sophie said. "Well going to bed, done the homework and I'm knackered."
"Same." Dylan said. "Quidditch practice tomorrow."
"Oh yeah." Sophie said slightly annoyed. "I was hoping to have a bath. Oh well. Night guys." She said waving at them and going to the girls dorm.
"Night." Dylan then said.
"I'll come with you." Fraser told him. Dylan picked up his bag and the two boys went up to the boys dorm room and Dylan put his bag on the floor and began to change.
"Did you really curse Malfoy?" Fraser asked with some awe.
"Yeah" Dylan said nodding.
"Cool." Fraser said with a smile.

Know Your Own Weaknesses
They either won't admit to them or they don't have a firm understanding of what it takes to be a good manager and, therefore, can't assess the gap between their behavior and that required to be an effective manager. By not recognizing weaknesses, a manager sets employees up for ineffective and unproductive output and behavior. A manager must be able to objectively evaluate what he/she does well and doesn't do as well. Once identified it is critical that they work hard to change their behavior to more closely align with the traits and skills necessary to effectively manage. Common Attributes of Good Managers points out the basic requirements of effective management. Compare your behavior and tendencies against the list in that article and objectively rate you in terms of any gaps that might exist. Use those gaps to work on changing your work behavior to become more effective.

There must be something in the water drunk by Republican politicians which results in sexuality running rampant. Arnold Schwarzennegger is the latest Republican who admits to having had sexual romps with someone or other. In his case, the former Republican governor admits to having fathered a baby about ten years ago with a member of his household's personal staff. His wife, Maria Shriver was told about it a few months ago and she now seeks a divorce. If there was an all star team of political sexually promiscuous men, its name would be, "Republican Perverts."
1. Arnie slept with a person who worked in his household and produced a child.
2. Senator John Ensign just resigned after admitting screwing his best friend's wife and then paying off his best friend's silence.
3. Newt Gingrich screwed around while married and now is the leading advocate of Family Values.
4. We have Republican senators found in public toilets attempting to solicit men.
5. Rudy Giuliani had an affair while married and dumped his wife.
6. Mayor Bloomberg has been divorced.
The list of moral hypocrites would readily win an election if held in a small town. What is most fascinating is how this group of moral men blast liberals as "Socialist secularists" who seek to end the institution of marriage. Republicans charge Obama wanted to set up "Death Panels" while they seek to establish "Sex Panels" which allow men free reign to screw around and still be allowed to be champions of FAMILY VALUES!

RVCC President Selected for Two National Presentations
Dr. Alicia B. Harvey-Smith, the president of River Valley Community College (RVCC) in Claremont and Keene, was selected to share her leadership expertise by both the National Council on Black American Affairs (NCBAA) and the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC). Dr. Harvey-Smith presented on March 21 and April 4, at the NCBAA and AACC conferences respectively to deliver a message on the challenges and opportunities of organizational leadership, lessons learned and advice to new leaders. Also shared was a message on the importance of community colleges in economic and community development.
NCBAA serves as a collaborative voice, promoting the academic success of African American students, faculty, staff and administrators and is an affiliate council of the American Association of Community Colleges. AACC, headquartered in Washington, D.C., is the national "voice for community colleges," representing nearly 1,200 two-year, associate degree–granting institutions.
Charlene Lovett, chair of River Valley Community College's Advisory Board and local councilman, said, "This is great news and we need to get the word out. This is an excellent example of how leaders in Claremont are engaged at the national level. We are thrilled to have Dr. Harvey-Smith here, and doing such exciting and commendable work."
"These represent exciting opportunities to help cultivate leaders and to share much of the good work being done in New Hampshire, at River Valley Community College, through the Community College System of New Hampshire and with partnerships and collaborations, which serve to lift and sustain our communities and support economic and community development," said President Harvey-Smith.
Dr. Harvey-Smith was appointed in March 2013 and took the reins of RVCC in July 2013. She will be formally installed as the president of River Valley Community College on Sept. 19, 2014.

/// Ratings Slump Dings Broadcast Sales
Diluted prime time deliveries and a calendar quirk that moved NCAA Final Four dollars into April contributed to a $317 million decline in first quarter broadcast TV ad expenditures. According to a new report from Kantar Media, clients in Q1 invested $5.77 billion in network TV time, down 5 percent from $6.09 billion in the year-ago period. Prime time ratings in the 18-49 demo plummeted 17 percent in the first quarter of 2013, marking the sharpest rate of decline for the period since Nielsen began measuring TV deliveries. Also not helping matters was a shift of March Madness dollars to Q2. Whereas the 2012 Final Four took place on March 31, this year's semi-finals were broadcast on April 2. That alone removed as much as $75 million in ad sales revenue into the April-June quarter; the going rate for a 30-second spot in CBS' 2013 Final Four coverage was around $700,000. Per its most recent earnings report, ratings champ

Perfect tee/hoodie since Seattle discovered the SLU Mammoth tusk.
Truth in sadness expressed in a nicely moody tableau (and writeup).
Elephants don't really make art.
A very talented Mammoth.
I giggled when I saw this shirt.
Why would the mammoth need a spear w/ those giant tusks?

He doesn't need a spear. He stole it from the person he is chasing.
I love this design! In fact, I honestly think it's one of the best new designs I have seen, in a long time. It's simple, to the point and humorous.
But do I need another brown hoodie? I already have 2 zip-ups and a pullover.
Of course I do. Nice work Pyne! I hope to see more.
Mammoth's got game.
lordbowen wrote:Mammoth's got game.
He's orchestrated the game.
Fido bring pointy stick back to human. Human run away screaming. Fido turn pointy stick into brush, and Fido write story on rock.
It was so disappointing when Spielberg went in and replaced all the spears with paintbrushes in the rerelease...
(actually, I am completely doing that next time I teach about Lascaux to my elementary students!- heh)
Really cool design!
still more believable than evolution!
Because they look so cuddly & adorable otherwise.
He needs the spear to show that he is a killer.
At first I thought the elephant was painting a picture of an elephant painting a picture of a human.
I can't draw.
Will someone please do a Downton Abbey Road mash-up with the characters (do NOT forget Maggie Smith)crossing? Please.

Obvious troll bait is obvious.
hahaha awesome!
Thanks y'all!
And I love the write up! Maybe if that cloning project ever happens (not holding my breath), a mammoth might just get a revenge opportunity ;)
Brilliant, pynee! 3 awesome prints in a row. Keep up the great work! Congrats!
he doesn't really NEED the spear, he just took it from the hunter and is now giving him the business ;)
Funny, I just went to the Lascaux Cave exhibit in Houston Monday. I have several rock art t-shirts and this will be an unusual addition!
Too bad they didn't trample all of our ancestors to death. And elephants they never weren't.
The difference between 16,000 and 60,000 years is a lot, don't you think? Who hired the paleontologist? I'm not one, but I'll work for beer, and give a better guess than that. I think you guys have been had.
I work at the Waco Mammoth Site, and my coworkers and I LOVE this! Expect a lot of orders from Central Texas.

That's so awesome- thanks for making my day! As a former Natural History museum/zoo employee, I salute you;)
The mammoth history books obviously have it a lot different than ours. . . .

Silk Looks To Stay On A Roll At Stafford
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Heading into the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour season-opener two weeks ago, storylines were aplenty: Past champions returning to the Tour or changing teams, up-and-comers looking to become contenders, weekly standouts getting a touring series opportunity. And what happened? The defending champ reminded everyone why his trophy has yet to collect any dust.
Much like when he became a championship contender a year ago, Ron Silk entered the Icebreaker at Thompson (Conn.) International Speedway on April 15 with little limelight. Yet once again, he was standing in Victory Lane with the hardware at the end of the day.
After adding the Icebreaker trophy to his growing collection, the Norwalk, Conn., driver is now focused on winning this week's CARQUEST Tech-Net Spring Sizzler at Stafford (Conn.) Motor Speedway. Silk has now reached the point in his career where going after premier event wins has become a goal, and the Spring Sizzler is every bit as prestigious as winning the Icebreaker.

From The Soul of the Apostolate, by Dom Chautard, OCSO, this is the first of around ten posts I will make about this very important subject. The capital letters and the italics are in the original.
What is the Interior Life?
In this book the words life of prayer, contemplative life will be applied as they are in the Imitation of Christ to the state of those souls who have dedicated themselves to a Christian life which is at the same time out of the common, and accessible to all, and, in substance, obligatory for all.
Without embarking upon a study of asceticism, let us at least remind the reader that EVERYONE is obliged to accept the following principles as absolutely certain, and base his inner life upon them.
FIRST TRUTH. Supernatural life is the life of Jesus Christ Himself in my soul, by Faith, Hope, and Charity; for Jesus is the meritorious, exemplary, and final cause of sanctifying grace, and, as Word, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, He is its efficient cause in our souls.
The presence of Our Lord by this supernatural life is not the real presence proper to Holy Communion, but a presence of vital action like that of the action of the head or heart upon the members of the body. This action lies deep within us, and God ordinarily hides it from the soul in order to increase the merit of our faith. And so, as a rule, my natural faculties have no feeling of this action going on within me, which, however, I am formally obliged to believe by faith. This action is divine, yet it does not interfere with my free will, and makes use of all secondary causes, events, persons, and things, to teach me the will of God and to offer me an opportunity of acquiring or increasing my share in the divine life.
This life, begun in Baptism by the state of grace, perfected at Confirmation, recovered by Penance and enriched by the Holy Eucharist, is my Christian life.
SECOND TRUTH. By this life, Jesus Christ imparts to me His Spirit. In this way, He becomes the principle of a superior activity which raises me up, provided I do not obstruct it, to think, judge, love, will, suffer, labor with Him, by Him, in Him, and like Him. My outward acts become the manifestations of this life of Jesus in me. And thus I ten to realize the ideal of the INTERIOR LIFE that was formulated by St. Paul when he said: "I live, now not I, but Christ liveth in me."
Christian life, piety, interior life, sanctity: in all these we find no essential difference. They are only different degrees of one and the same love. They are the half-light, the dawning, the rising, and the zenith of the same sun.
Whenever the expression "interior life" is used in this book, the reference is not so much to habitual interior life, which we may call the "principal" or "capital" of the divine life deposited in us, by sanctifying grace, as to the actual interior life, which invests this capital and puts it to work in the activity of our soul, and in our fidelity to actual graces.
Thus I can define it as the state of activity of a soul which strives against its natural inclinations in order to REGULATE them, and endeavors to acquire the HABIT of judging and directing its movements IN ALL THINGS according to the light of the Gospel and the example of Our Lord.
Hence, a twofold movement. By the first, the soul withdraws from all that is opposed to the supernatural life in created things, and seeks at all times to be recollected: aversio a creaturis. By the second, the soul tends upwards to God, and unites itself with Him: conversio ad Deum.
The soul wishes in this way to be faithful to the grace which Our Lord offers to it at every moment. In a word, it lives, united to Jesus, and carries out in actuality the principle: "He that liveth in Me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit."
THIRD TRUTH. I would be depriving myself of one of the most effective means of acquiring this interior life if I failed to strive after a precise and certain faith in the active presence of Jesus within me, and if I did not try to make this presence within me, not merely a living, but an extremely vital reality, and one which penetrated more and more into all the life of my faculties. When Jesus becomes, in this manner, my light, my ideal, my counsel, my support, my refuge, my strength, my healer, my consolation, my joy, my love, in a word, my life, I shall acquire all the virtues. Then alone will I be able to utter, with sincerity, the wonderful prayer of St. Bonaventure, which the Church gives me for my thanksgiving after Mass: Transfige dulcissime Domine Jesu.

China tourists twig to Beijing's Bird's Nest
By Phyllis Xu and Mark Chisholm
BEIJING (Reuters Life!) - For years, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall have been among the biggest tourist attractions in China. These days, the Bird's Nest is giving them a run for their money.
Nine months after the Beijing Summer Olympics, thousands of tourists from all over the country flock to the iconic stadium, venue of the dazzling Olympic opening and closing ceremonies, every day.
They pay the 50 yuan ($7) entrance fee to sit in the stands, get their picture taken on the central green and watch nothing.
"We didn't expect the Bird's Nest to become so popular among the Chinese people after the Olympic Games," Zhang Hengli, deputy general manager of the CITIC Consortium Stadium Operation Company, told Reuters.
"The large number of tourists is out of our expectation. Even though the weather has not been very good lately, and it is not holiday season, we still see between 20,000 and 30,000 tourists every day," said Zhang.
The landmark Bird's Nest National Stadium, cloaked in a mangle of steel girders giving it its name, has been rarely used after the Games, and with a price tag of over $500 million, many fear it could become the mother of all white elephants.
But Zhang said that despite the tough economy, revenue from entrance fees could cover the 70 million yuan maintenance costs a year and annual interest payments of up to 90 million yuan.
The Bird's Nest, which can now host 80,000 people, has become a showpiece of China's growing power and wealth, and the success of the Olympics has turned the structure into a source of national pride. Continued...

Difford's Encyclopedia of Cocktails by Simon Difford, includes information like Cocktail History and Angostura Bitters and cocktail recipes like East India, The Lady Wears Red, Navy Grog, Negroni, and Pisco Sour.
(Updated #8)
Glass: Goblet
Garnish: Three drops of Angostura bitters
Method: BLEND all ingredients with 120z scoop crushed ice and serve with straws.
Variation: Dust with cinnamon powder.
Origin: The national drink of both Peru and Chile and both countries lay claim to the origins of the drink and the spirit it is made from. The Pisco Sour is said to have been created in the early 1920s at Bar Morris located at 847 Calle Boza, Jiron de la Union, Uma, Peru. The drinks recent popularity outside of its native Peru and Chile is attributed to Joe Baum who promoted the drink in the 1960's at La Fonda Del Sol in New York.
Comment: One of the few really brilliant blended drinks.
Glass: Old-fashioned
Garnish: Three drops of Angostura bitters
Method: SHAKE all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.
Origin: My adaptation of the Chilean and Peruvian classic.Comment: Traditionally this drink is blended with crushed ice, but I prefer it served straight-up. Be sure to drink It quickly while it's cold.

Last month, Public Safety Canada followed through on commitments to review and consult on Canada's national security framework. The process reviews powers that were passed into law following the passage of Bill C-51, Canada's recent controversial anti-terrorism overhaul, as well as invite a broader debate about Canada's security apparatus. While many consultation processes have explored expansions of Canada's national security framework, the current consultation constitutes the first modern day attempt to explore Canada's national security excesses and deficiencies. Unfortunately, the framing of the consultation demonstrates minimal direct regard for privacy and civil liberties because it is primarily preoccupied with defending the existing security framework while introducing a range of additional intrusive powers. Such powers include some that have been soundly rejected by the Canadian public as drawing the wrong balance between digital privacy and law enforcement objectives, and heavily criticized by legal experts as well as by all of Canada's federal and provincial privacy commissioners. The government's framing of the issues are highly deficient. Specifically, the consultation documents make little attempt to explain the privacy and civil liberties implications that can result from the contemplated powers. And while the government is open to suggestions on privacy and civil liberties-enhancing measures, few such proposals are explored in the document itself. The consultation documents also fail to provide detailed suggestions for improving government accountability and transparency surrounding state agencies' use of already-existent surveillance and investigative tools.
In light of these deficiencies, we will be discussing a number of the consultation document's problematic elements in a series of posts authored in conjunction with Christopher Parsons at the Citizen Lab, beginning with today's installment (after the jump, or in PDF format) regarding the government's reincarnation of a highly controversial telecommunication subscriber identification power.
CIPPIC appeared today before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy & Ethics (ETHI) in its ongoing review of Canada's aging Privacy Act. The Act regulates the federal government's handling of personal information, comprising a central component of Canada's privacy framework. However, it has not received any substantial updates since its introduction in the early 1980s, despite tectonic shifts in the incentives animating government data-related objectives as well as in the technological capability to achieve these objectives. In addition, the government has introduced numerous laws designed to update and expand its ability to collect, use and share private data since the 1980s, including laws specifically designed to address technological developments. In the face of this one-sided expansion of state capabilities, the Privacy Act has simply not kept pace, and is in serious need of modernization if it is to continue to effectively meet its objectives to protect individual privacy rights, facilitate government accountability and safeguard public trust.
CIPPIC's recommendations sought to address key gaps in the Privacy Act, while adding principled protections that will help the Act stay relevant in the future. This includes the addition of principled limits on how long data can be reasonably kept by the government. There is currently no such explicit obligation in the Privacy Act, despite the fact that retention limitations are a hallmark of data protection regimes. An over-riding reasonableness obligation is also necessary, as it would ensure government data practices remain proportionate and in alignment with Charter values. CIPPIC also called for addressing central shortages in the Act's transparency framework, including the incorporation of statistical reporting obligations attaching to all law enforcement electronic surveillance powers, and a general 'openness' obligation compelling the government to proactively explain its privacy practices. Additional recommendations addressed the need for mandating reasonable technical safeguards, a mandatory data breach notification regime and formalizing privacy impact assessment requirements.
CIPPIC and the Citizen Lab, released a report today that describes and analyzes a class of covert electronic surveillance devices called cell site simulators (typically referred to as IMSI Catchers or by brand names such as 'Stingray'). IMSI Catchers operate by impersonating cell phone towers in order to trick mobile devices within range into transmitting digital identifiers, which are then used to track mobile devices or identify the otherwise anonymous individuals associated with them. The report (Executive Summary, FR) argues that the devices are inherently invasive. The geo-location and identification they facilitate engages sensitive privacy interests and, moreover, they are inherently coarse - for each target they are deployed against, the privacy of thousands of non-targeted mobile devices within range is collaterally affected. IMSI Catchers are also intrusive for their interference with the operation of mobile devices, which cannot receive or transmit any phone, text or data communications while engaged with an IMSI Catcher. This can include interference with critical communications such as emergency 911 calls.
Exacerbating the intrusive features of this electronic surveillance tool has been the cloud of secrecy that pervades its use. The report describes significant efforts by journalists and civil society, in Canada and abroad, which sought to uncover use of this device in Canada and the heavy and unnecessary yet persistent resistance these efforts have experienced. The resulting secrecy, which appears to be encouraged by non-disclosure agreements imposed on Canadian agencies by IMSI Catcher vendors, has delayed important public policy debates regarding the appropriate use of these devices, while eroding public confidence. The report calls for the imposition of a range of transparency, proportionality and mitigation measures, modeled on regulatory frameworks adopted by other jurisdictions for IMSI Catchers, by Canadian courts and legislatures for comparably intrusive electronic surveillance tools and by international normative frameworks for digital privacy protection.
Cell-site simulators, colloquially referred to as IMSI Catchers or by brand names such as "Stingrays" or "King Fisher" are surveillance tools used by state agencies to identify or track mobile devices (and, of course, the individuals associated with such devices). Compared to other surveillance devices, IMSI Catchers are inherently invasive. They are designed to impersonate cell towers, in both functionality and appearance. As a result, IMSI Catcher surveillance is broad and indiscriminate -each time an IMSI Catcher is deployed against a specific target, it interferes with all devices in range. Each time an IMSI Catcher is used against one specific target, it can interfere with the privacy of thousands, collecting the digital identifiers (IMSI, IMEI) of all mobile devices within range. With these identifiers, otherwise anonymous individuals can be geo-located or tracked. In addition to the privacy interference, IMSI Catchers interfere with the functionality of mobile devices in range, preventing them from sending or receiving phone calls, text messages or data, including emergency 911 calls.
The secrecy surrounding the use of these devices has been significant, with law enforcement agencies in Canada generally refusing to acknowledge, or even deny, whether they have ever made use of such a device. The Vancouver Police (VPD), for example, have refused to respond to a freedom of information demand from the Pivot Legal Society for any records relating to its use of these devices. CIPPIC and Christopher Parsons from Citizen Lab represented an intervener in the appeal of that refusal, OpenMedia. VPD defends its decision on the basis that acknowledging any IMSI Catcher would undermine their utility as surveillance tools. However, as we pointed out in the intervention, a lot of information is already in the public record regarding the capabilities of these devices and their use by state agencies, and there is a compelling public interest in publicizing use of these devices, to facilitate public debate regarding the appropriate parameters of their use. UPDATE: On May 25, 2016, after reviewing the record of the appeal, VPD issued a response, indicating that they do not own an IMSI Catcher and have no records relating to the use of such devices. However, ongoing questions remain regarding whether VPD has used these devices in past investigations through the aegis of the RCMP.
In the wake of the Paris attacks, there have been numerous calls by security agencies to once again expand the nature and scope of surveillance and other security framework under which they operate. Many of these calls were neatly summarized in an opinion piece in the Globe and Mail published November 25, 2015. A number of civil society organizations wrote in response today, refuting the one-sided expansion of state powers as an enduring solution to the world's security problems, the full response and list of signatories is replicated below. Also today, the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group penned a well-argued response to attempts by RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson, who has renewed calls for legislation granting police unsupervised and unrestrained access to online identifiers. The post recalls how Canadians have soundly rejected such calls in the past when it was presented as a solution to, in succession: cybercrime, child pornography and cyber-bullying. This latest iteration is equally as invasive and equally as unnecessary as its predecessors. Online identifiers are the essence to digital privacy and anonymity. Granting wholesale access to them is neither necessary to effective law enforcement or counter-terrorism, nor is it a proportional incursion on our digital privacy. If police need specific access to identifying information, it should only be obtained through the use of a dedicated production order similar to those already in the Criminal Code for other forms of metadata such as transmission and tracking information.
Overall, as both civil society initiatives note, we are seeing a familiar list of demands for new powers from law enforcement following the Paris attacks. However, it is notable that none of these are responses to whatever shortcomings (if any) in surveillance powers may have contributed to the Paris attacks. The Globe and Mail letter is reproduced after the bump and can also be read here.
CIPPIC, OpenMedia, and over 40 other civil society groups and privacy experts wrote to the government today calling for a public consultation on the legacy of Bill C-51, the highly controversial and one-sided overhaul of Canada's security and investigative framework adopted by the previous government late last year. The letter notes with enthusiasm the government's commitment to address some of the pressing problems raised by Bill C-51, but urges that these fixes come only after public engagement on the issue has occurred. Bill C-51 was developed in an atmosphere and process that was often openly hostile to civil society input, and this is reflected in almost every facet of its multi-pronged expansion of security powers. It detrimentally impacted on several elements of Canadian society while exacerbating long-standing problems relating to Canada's flight-restriction mechanisms, information-sharing, intelligence oversight and due process. It is no surprise that over 300,000 Canadians have spoken out against Bill C-51, and in just the past week more than 10,000 have called on the government to publicly consult on how to address its legacy.
In spite of this controversy, the letter points out, neither this government nor the previous has ever made the case for any of Bill C-51's elements, and that doing so must be the first step to a reasoned debate around its various elements. Once this case has been made, in the form of a discussion paper, the letter calls for an online public consultation as well as an opportunity for stakeholders to comment on the measures and justifications underlying the changes to Canada's security framework that the government wishes to adopt or retain. In particular, there is concern that the adoption of parliamentary oversight for intelligence agencies - a mechanism that has proven useful, but not independently sufficient in many foreign jurisdictions including the United States and the United Kingdom - will be presented as a panacea to the excesses of Canada's security apparatus. The letter, as well as a joint media release that accompanied its delivery, can be read after the bump, and our Bill C-51 primer (with OpenMedia and Canadian Journalists for Free Expression) can be read here (PDF).
Agents of the State
In a submission filed with the Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs in May 2007 on Bill C-31, CIPPIC objected to the expansion of personal information used for secondary purposes without the consent of electors. Under the Act, Elections Canada is required to share names and addresses from the National Register of Electors with political parties for fundraising and other campaign purposes. Bill C-31 would have added date of birth to the lists of electors shared for these purposes. As a result of opposing to this proposal by the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and CIPPIC, sharing of date of birth was removed from the bill before it was passed by the House of Commons.
Privacy in domain name registration (CIRA & ICANN)
In response to planned outsourcing by the British Columbia government of certain database administrative duties to a U.S.-linked company, the British Columbia Privacy Commissioner invited public input by August 6, 2004 on the extent to which the USA Patriot Act allows US authorities to access the personal information of British Columbians, and the implications of such access for public body compliance with privacy legislation.
New information and communication technologies such as the Internet, email, cellphones, and encryption offer individuals new ways to communicate, organize, and engage in criminal behaviours, creating challenges for law enforcement agencies in their efforts to investigate and prosecute criminal activity. On the other hand, these same technologies provide authorities with access to potentially vast amounts of personal information on individuals.

Government reintroduces online spying legislation (Winter 2010)
In an open letter to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics, CIPPIC and a number of civil society organizations voice serious concerns with respect to Bill C-29, currently before the House and scheduled for second reading early next week. The Bill, ironically dubbed the 'Safeguarding Canadians' Personal Information Act', proposes a number of amendments to Canada's federal privacy protection statute, PIPEDA. Far from improving privacy, the Bill threatens to erode civil liberties in serious ways. Even where it attempts to improve privacy, it falls short by failing to provide any incentive for compliance.
The most troubling elements of the Bill pave the way to a dramatic expansion in the ways in which private businesses can be used in investigations against their own customers. While privacy should never be a bar to legitimate investigations of actual wrongs, the law provides mechanisms such as warrants, production orders, mandatory disclosure laws, and discovery processes that ensure investigations can occur with proper safeguards in place. This Bill essentially bypasses all of these safeguards by adding and expanding exceptions that permit organizations to simply give away their customer's information and includes elements evocative of the US PATRIOT Act and all the civil liberties violations that accompanied it.

Has capitalism gone too far when even Montana wind can be graded for its commercial value? For those who care about where their electricity comes from, the answer is no.
Sometime within the next six weeks, about 5,000 Montanans—those who have shown their concern for a clean environment by joining various "green" groups—will get a chance to buy their electricity from clean, green sources. The Montana Electricity Buying Cooperative (MEBC) was formed three years ago by the Montana Legislature as part of the overall law that deregulated the energy industry.
The cooperative will act as an energy broker, linking consumers with suppliers. Its immediate goal is to find enough Montana customers to create a demand for solar, wind, small hydroelectric dams or other clean, non-polluting source of electricity.
"Montana Power has indicated after it sold off its generation that it did not want to supply electricity," says Jim Morton, an MEBC board member. "So that's where the idea came from."
In this new and uncertain age of electricity deregulation, there are currently no large-scale renewable sources of power being generated in Montana. One com-pany, Montana Wind Harness, was the successful bidder on a project to develop large-scale wind power in Montana. But wind power is only one part of a larger energy portfolio that has been challenged by various entities before Montana's Public Service Commission (PSC).
While the PSC wades through the issue in a series of upcoming hearings, the MEBC has moved forward by contracting for green power with a young but already proven supplier, the Portland, Ore.-based Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF).
What started out as a partnership with the Bonneville Power Administration to conduct a watershed restoration program and develop new sources of renewable energy has grown into a full-fledged supplier of green energy. In 2000, BEF, then only two years old, developed the "Green Tag" program to supply clean sources of energy to places where it is currently not available, like Montana.
So who decides what is green and what's not? "That's usually a contentious issue," says Morton. "That's why hydro is not automatically a green source, because it can have a detrimental effect on the environment." But according to BEF, the issue really isn't all that contentious. The non-profit BEF buys green power that has been independently reviewed and endorsed by three environmental groups: the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Renewable Northwest Project and the Northwest Energy Coalition. An approved green power source finds it way from the sun—or wind or water—to your meter the same way fossil fuels do: through the existing northwest power grid.
The BEF invests the money it makes linking suppliers with buyers in developing more sources of renewable energy and in other environmentally friendly projects, says John Schneeberger, a Hamilton man contracted by MEBC to promote the organization. One example is a solar-powered well located in the Big Hole, which is designed to keep cattle away from streams where they can inflict damage on riparian areas.
Whether Montana will ever develop its own sources of green power remains unclear. Morton says people involved in the green power business suspect that the Montana Power Co., now NorthWestern, was never truly interested in the renewable energy side of its business. Speculation abounds that Montana Wind Harness, with its lack of experience but valuable political contacts, may have been chosen because it was doomed to fail.
"Right now we're in a transition," Morton says of MEBC, "because we don't actually have anyone providing wind [power] in Montana."
Regardless of the politics of green energy, there is plenty of supply in Montana. "If you look at a map of the west," Morton says, "Montana has specific sites" perfect for wind power generation. As anyone who has ever visited eastern Montana knows, there are plenty of kilowatts in them thar hills.
In fact, says Morton, Montana doesn't have just any old type of wind, but "commercial-grade wind," perfect for harnessing and dumping into the greater electricity grid, and complementary to ranching and farming. BEF knows exactly where its power comes from. The organization then tells its brokers, like MEBC how those renewable energy producers are generating their energy and how much. "They'll buy from existing sources and will keep involved in what's going on [in the renewable energy business]," Morton says. "If there's a project going up, these guys are right there, trying to buy [power from] it."
Schneeberger says the Legislature, by requiring a percentage of electricity to come from renewable resources, may not have expected that far-flung Montanans would actually take lawmakers up on it. "Part of the conceit of all this is that consumers can take part in it," Schneeberger says.
But convincing thousands of homeowners and small business owners to "spontaneously get together with their neighbors" and work up enough demand to get the attention of a traditional power supplier may be unrealistic, he says. That's where the MEBC comes in, and why the Green Tag program will eventually become a viable option.
When the mailings go out next month, interested Montana power consumers can sign up for a $40 fee. That money is invested in BEF's renewable energy development program and watershed protection projects. It also provides consumers with a percentage of green power that's added to the traditional fossil fuels they're using now.
Consumers can literally wield the power, he says. But he adds, "We need to show there's a demand for green power in Montana. You need both ends of it, supply and demand."

I apply a strong hold gel to soaking wet hair, scrunch lots with just my hands and then a couple times with a t-shirt.
If I am in the mood or want tighter curls, I might apply a curl-enhancing product after this. I've never experimented with applying it before so I really can't say if that'd be better.
I find the one thing that makes a big difference in how defined my curls are is scrunching. I scrunch my hair in the shower as I'm wetting it, I scrunch conditioner into it, I scrunch it after rinsing conditioner out, I scrunch gel in, I scrunch it to dry, etc. I think if I raked a product into my hair it would lose a lot of its curl.
side note - does anyone else feel like not a true curly/wavy because if they don't apply product and or scrunch, it's pretty straight? sometimes I struggle with that. but as my cousin told me, you can`t do that (curls) to straight hair! So I guess if scrunching gives you curls, you`re curly.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan volleyball program and head coach Mark Rosen have announced the hiring of two members of its coaching staff. The Wolverines hired Kyle Luongo to be their volunteer assistant coach and Ben Belanger as their director of volleyball operations.
Luongo joins the Wolverines after spending the past three seasons as the assistant boys' varsity and junior varsity coach at Harvard-Westlake High School in Studio City, Calif. He preceded Harvard-Westlake with a one-year stretch as head boys' and girls' varsity volleyball coach at Heritage Christian School in Granada Hills, Calif., while simultaneously serving as volunteer assistant coach for the men's volleyball team at Pierce College in Woodland Hills, Calif.
Luongo began his coaching career at Gold Medal Squared in 2007 while still playing collegiately, and is currently the lead camp coach, traveling to various states leading high school volleyball athletes in 4-day skills camps. He also served as Head Coach for the Los Angeles Volleyball Academy from 2007-2011, running tryouts, evaluating talent and planning and executing practices. Prior to his coaching career, Luongo was a standout volleyball player at Pierce College (2006-07), starting as setter for a team that lost in the state finals his freshman year and the state semifinals his sophomore year. He then transferred to Pepperdine University (2008-10), playing for Coach Marv Dunphy. After he was redshirted his first year, he helped Pepperdine make it to the MPSF finals in 2010. Luongo graduated from Pepperdine in 2010 with a degree in sports medicine.
Ben Belanger
"We did a national search for the volunteer position and Craig Boller (who now is a full-time coach at Delaware) set a great example for what that person can bring to our program," Rosen said. "He made a great impact so we had a high expectation for what we were looking for. In that national search, Kyle really emerged to be, to me, the best candidate. He comes from a very different background than all of our other coaches, which we're excited about. He played for Marv Dunphy, one of the legends in our sport and Marv is a fore founder in kind of a volleyball movement called Gold Medal Squared. It's kind of a different coaching philosophy than we've been exposed to, so he comes from that background and I think that's going to be a giant asset for us to grow our mindset and grow our approach to this team and this program. We were looking for something different and I think we got it. Aside from his volleyball background, Kyle is a great person, a great young coach that really wants to move up through the profession. That's exactly what we're looking for -- someone that has great ambition to be in this profession for the long run."
Belanger is no stranger to Michigan, joining the volleyball staff after spending the past year as an administrative assistant in the Athletic Director's Office at U-M. He also served as an administrative assistant for the University of Michigan men's basketball team in 2012, where he assisted the head coach with day-to-day office tasks and handled general correspondence with the public, among other responsibilities. He also served as a compliance assistant at U-M from 2010-2012, working closely with coaches and Operations Directors to make sure each varsity sport met compliance standards. Belanger graduated from the University of Michigan in 2010 with a degree in sport management and is currently pursuing a master of arts in higher education student affairs at Eastern Michigan University.
"We feel like Ben is a great hire at our director of volleyball operations," Rosen said. "It came together quickly in the sense that he was already in the department and was open to make a move to a different part of the department. Ben has great knowledge. He's a sports management major. He understands logistics, how an athletic department -- specifically our athletic department works -- so we're very fortunate to have him. We're excited to have him be a part of our program. In the short period of time he's been here, he got hired and we had to immediately prepare for a trip to Brazil and Argentina. He was at the forefront of that and did a great job so I'm very excited about having him involved in our program. I think he could be a huge asset."
Luongo and Belanger join Rosen, associate head coach Leisa Rosen and assistant coach Erin Virtue as the coaching staff for the 2013 season.
"We're very fortunate to have some very stable entities within our program," Rosen concluded. "Having Leisa as our assistant for every year we've been here is huge. Erin has been such a great addition to our program and we're hoping to be able to keep her for a long time. She makes such a great impact in the gym, in the office with recruiting and in every aspect of our program. She's very, very involved and very effective. We've always felt like we want to have a staff that's very committed and very invested in what we're doing and that's also very close, that enjoys being around each other. You add Mike (Favre), our strength coach, into that and I think we've got a great group that I can't wait to get into the 2013 season with."
Michigan opens the 2013 schedule on Friday, Aug. 30, against Clemson in the Xavier Invitational in Cincinnati, Ohio. First serve is scheduled for noon. The home opener for the Maize and Blue is on Friday, Sept. 6, against Oregon State in the Big Ten/Pac-12 Challenge.

Is lethargy and pain normal 5 days after spay surgery?
My 7mo old pug puppy was spayed 5 days ago and she is obviously still in a lot of pain. She is lethargic and stays in her bed, crys out in her sleep and when touched near her incision and does not react or act as usual. My vet told me over the phone to give her baby asprin twice a day, they did not seem overly concerned. Is something else going on or is my puppy just taking longer than normal to heal? Her incision looks fine, she is going to the bathroom fine. She is eating but i have to raise her dish, she won't lean down to it. No vomiting. I don't think she has a fever, but I don't have a dog thermometer. Do I just watch and wait or get her in immediately to another vet?

get her back to the vet ASAP, this is not normal An internal infection could be going on and its nothing to mess with.
You do not use straight asprin on dogs. What the heck is wrong w/ your vet???
normal dog temp is 102, take her temp w/ a thermometer, If they put her out w/ a tube down her throat, then make her a couple soft meals lighly warm. if any heat on her stitches or her temp is over 102, get her top another vet.,
the only asprin type med you should give is called Ascripton, its malox coated asprin, this will not upset her intestinal tract. The raising of the dish says immedialty that its her throat., most likely .Warm water, or a soft canned may be needed right now. Me? i'd have mom make me some scrambled eggs
pure protein, cooled off Soft and yummy for the tummy

I would check back with your vet again, and if you don't get any help, better talk to another.

When I had my hysterectomy (same as a spay) I can tell you it hurt like heck for weeks after and I can imagine it is the same for our canine fems.
Eating, going to the bathroom, and no sign of infection are all good signs she's starting to recover from her surgery. She could possibly need a few more days to start feeling like herself.
A call to the vet or seeking anothers advice will certainly put your mind at ease and ensure your pup is healing properly. You can never go wrong with a quick check up.

You need to go back to the vet as a walk in.
The dog is in pain after 5days not normal.
They can give you antibotics to give and also examine the dog's abdomen.
Let them know she is in pain, they can also give you something for that too.
I hope she feels better soon.

I don't think it is normal, it sounds as if your vet may have botched the job. I would most definately have another vet check your baby out.
Member 788102 answered on 9/15/09. Helpful? / 0
Spaying is a pretty painful surgery... she might be showing that she's in pain more now because it's been a while since the anesthesia and high-dosage painkillers given by the vet have worn off. Also, since it's healing, it might be a little irritated.
If you've contacted the vet and he didn't seem worried, continue to do what he says, and continue to help her out. Is she moving a lot? Try and keep her calm as possible, as movement will slow the healing process.
The one thing to look out for is infection in an incision as big as this. a little bit of redness and swelling is ok, and discomfort when touching within 1 inch from the wound, but any farther than that, and much more swelling or redness can indicate infection. (also watch out for pus or bleeding) At that point, you should bring her in for another checkup.
For now it sounds like you're doing fine.

NOPI car shows began in 1988 at a NOPI store parking lot. It all started out as a Volkswagen show. In 1990, we added Trucks to the mix. Then in 1992, we added import cars, then in 1993 we opened it up to domestic cars. The NOPI Nationals was born. The event in Atlanta grew and grew to the point where there were over 7000 vehicles in the show, over 300 vendors and up to 100,000 people.
NOPI began Drag Racing in 1997. First we had a drag race in Atlanta partnering with NIRA (National Import Racing Association) Then in 1988, we joined forces with ID Drag Wars and took NOPI events on the road. In 2002, we formed our own drag racing series partnering with Universal Studios. It was the Fast and Furious Drag Racing Series. In 2004, it became the XBOX Cup Series and in 2008, the NOPI/NHRA Drag Series began.
Drifting exhibitions began in 2003 at a number of NOPI events. The NOPI Drift series was added in 2007 with the final round held at the NOPI Nationals.
NOPIs TV show - NOPI TUNERVISION ran from 2002 through 2007 on Spike then on Speed. Most episodes had dozens of airings. It featured scenes from all aspects of NOPI events.
Unfortunately in 2008, the events were stopped mid-season due to a string of bad weather dates and the onset of the economic downturn.
In 2009 thru 2011, we struck a deal with REDLINE TIME ATTACK (2009), HIN (2010) and NSCRA (2011) to do a series of combined events.
Now in 2012? NOPI NATIONALS Atlanta anyone

What years of X5's are most susceptible to the dreaded oil separator failure?

Mein Auto: BMW X5
View My Garage
Was driving my 2006 X5 on the highway when all of a sudden the engine shut off. I was able to feel the slight loss of power early so was thankfully able to make it the shoulder (right at the apex of an off ramp...pretty scary). The car wouldn't start again. I had it towed and was informed it was hydrolock which in turn had damaged the crankshaft and rendered the engine useless. I have constantly maintained my vehicle at the dealer and have long records of the car burning oil and constantly having to get the maintenance people to top it up (even sending an e-mail for the record indicating my concern regarding this issue). With each inquiry as to why it was going through so much oil I was met with a standard response of "I don't know". It would appear that BMW is very well aware of this design flaw in their vehicle as I have read numerous similar stories on the internet. Is there any rumblings of a recall? Or any recourse that can be taken in a friendly manner to get BMW to help in the huge cost of a new engine? Thoughts, comments or support of any kind are greatly appreciated.
