I have been having back issues. I stopped by two different chiropractic vendors at a fair recently and they both said I was having issues in the same areas and could benefit from seeing a chiropractor. Is it ever recommended that someone see a chiropractor? Is it safe to see a chiropractor? If so, are there any good ones in the area or is there a way to determine if they are qualified?
It is an individual's choice to use alternative health providers but you have free access to a sports medicine specialist, Dr. Warren Howe, at the Student Health Center, so my recommendation is you start there for free before spending money on off campus providers.

London Olympics needs poets
It's exactly 100 days until the opening of the London Olympics and the event needs poets, according to the BBC. They are short of 20 poets for a cultural event featuring a poet from every nation competing in the 2012 Olympics. Apparently, they still need poets from places like Mali and Liberia. I suspect Mali's poets might have something else to worry about after several months of violence, uprising and turmoil. Jo Shapcott will represent Great Britain and Ireland's Seamus Heaney is also going to be there.

The papal health watch is underway -- again. Pope Benedict XVI has reached the age John Paul II was at his death in April 2005, and every stumble or step with a cane is watched for signs of impending doom.
A U.K. Catholic news site TotalCatholic.com picked up word from Vaticanistas that the pope has "arthrosis."
Their Rome correspondent quotes Andrea Tornielli at the Vatican Insider, who said the pope asked to use the mobile platform used by his predecessor, because he's afflicted with a "a degenerative, non-inflammatory joint disease" of the hip, knee, ankle and shoulder joints...
The friction of the joint surfaces increases by overexertion and the shock absorbing function diminishes. Movement is possible, but restricted, and usually painful. Long travel is a problem.
Long travel is ahead for Benedict. He's scheduled to visit Africa in two weeks and there's no mention of any changes in the schedule. Benedict never had the globe-trotting agenda of John Paul in that pope's early years. But if you compared both pope's travels in their early 80s, Benedict has had more journeys outside Europe, says Matthew Bunson, editor of The Catholic Almanac and a biography of Benedict.
Last month, the pope abruptly began using a mobile transport platfrom bequeathed by John Paul to traverse the football-field-length aisle of St. Peter's.
Barbie Latza Nadeau was already speculating on Benedict's well-being -- and prospects for the pope's retirement -- last month at The Daily Beast. She wrote:
... When he headed the Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith, he tried to retire twice "due to poor health," but his predecessor John Paul II refused to let him go. He acknowledged in a biography co-written with German journalist Peter Seewald that he saw nothing wrong with retiring from the papacy: "If a pope clearly realizes that he is no longer physically, psychologically and spiritually capable of handling the duties of his office, then he has a right and, under some circumstances, also an obligation to resign."
Prominent Italian Vatican journalist Antonio Socci fueled further panic last month when he wrote in Libero newspaper that this pope could call it quits next spring. "For now, he [Joseph Ratzinger's personal assumption], is saying that this may be true but I hope the story does not reach the news," Socci wrote. "But this rumor is circulating high up in the Vatican and therefore deserves close attention. The pope has not rejected the possibility of his resignation when he turns 85 in April next year."
DO YOU THINK ... media are so focused on Benedict's mobility they're neglecting his mental agility?

Saint Petersburg (AFP) Nov 18, 2013
A Russian court on Monday extended the pre-trial detention of one of 30 Greenpeace activists arrested for a protest against Arctic oil drilling, but unexpectedly freed a Russian doctor on bail.
Yekaterina Zaspa, a doctor with Greenpeace's Arctic Sunrise icebreaker, became the first of the arrested crew members to be freed pending trial, after two months in detention.
She will be released on bail of two million rubles ($61,400, 45,500 euros), Greenpeace said, citing the ruling of the Kalininsky court in Russia's second city of Saint Petersburg.
"She may be released on bail, but she is still charged with hooliganism, the charge of piracy has not been officially withdrawn, and therefore she still faces maybe 20 years in jail for a crime she didn't commit," Greenpeace's Mads Christensen said in a statement.
The 30 activists from 18 countries were first charged with piracy, which carries a maximum sentence of 15 years. The charges were later changed to hooliganism, which carries a punishment of up to seven years.
But, in another sign of hope for the detainees, a prosecutor said Monday he was not against another activist, Ana Paula Maciel from Brazil, also being freed, Greenpeace said.
Judges in Russia often side with the prosecution.
A decision on Maciel's fate will be announced on Tuesday.
Earlier on Monday, another Saint Petersburg court extended the pre-trial detention of Australian activist Colin Russell until February 24, meaning he could remain in jail through the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, which end on February 23.
A request for bail or house arrest was denied.
"I love you all. I love everybody," said Russell, 59, after the judge announced her decision. "I am not a criminal," he said in comments released by Greenpeace.
Earlier in the day Russell insisted he was innocent.
"I have not committed a crime so I have nothing to run from," Russell, looking visibly upset, said from a metal cage in the courtroom.
Greenpeace International executive director Kumi Naidoo said: "This case is now a circus.
"We will continue to pursue every legal avenue we can, and leave no stone unturned, until each and every one of them is home with their families," he said.
'Let me go home'
The two courts were scheduled to rule on the detention of several more activists and freelance journalists, but some of the hearings were postponed until later this week.
The Kalininsky court was also scheduled to decide on the detention of Russian photographer Denis Sinyakov. The prosecution demanded that his extension be extended by three months, Greenpeace said on Twitter.
The Brazilian activist Maciel held several placards inside her metal cage on Monday.
"I love Russia but let me go home," read one poster. "Save the Arctic," read another.
Her lawyer earlier urged the judge to think about Russia's international reputation.
"I am calling on the court not to violate the legal norms otherwise no one would come for the Olympics because no one would want to come to a country where law is violated," Sergei Golubok said in court.
But Nikolai Petrov, an analyst with the Higher School of Economics, suggested the activists could be released in the run-up to the high-profile event "to improve Russia's image".
The countries were put in pre-trial jail in September after their ship was seized at gunpoint by Russian security forces following their open-sea protest against Arctic oil drilling.
A range of stars including Madonna and politicians such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel have called for the crew's release.
The global outcry over the Greenpeace campaigners' treatment has been compared to the international shock following the jailing for two years of two members of the punk band Pussy Riot after they performed an anti-Putin song in a Moscow cathedral last year.
On Friday, an international maritime court will rule whether to order Russia to release the activists in a case brought by the Netherlands, the ship's flag country.

Mars players, coaches find benefits in Pitt's 7-on-7 camp
The Mars football team hopes to reload rather than rebuild.
However, after losing a bevy of seniors from last season, defending the WPIAL Class AAA Greater Allegheny Conference title is no sure thing for the Planets.
Mars head coach Scott Heinauer and his assistants know that's the case every year, which is why they continue to have their players hone their skills in the summer.
The workouts are voluntary and low-key, but that didn't stop the Planets from participating in one high-profile event — Pitt's 7-on-7 team passing camp on June 22 and 23.
It was the second year the team took part in the competition, which has grown into one of the region's premier offseason events.
"We were there last year, and we all thought it was a good experience," Heinauer said.
"I know our kids enjoyed doing it. I know they will enjoy doing it next year. We learn a lot as coaches and the players learn. There were 40-some teams there, and you're able to get a good look at some kids from some different teams; you get a little look at what they can and cannot do."
The camp, which drew high school squads from Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Virginia, offers a unique offseason competition. It gives players a chance to be seen by Pitt's coaching staff and experience a college atmosphere at the Panthers' UPMC South Side facility.
"I am not big on going away to a whole lot of places," Heinauer said.
"I think you have enough competition and good teams here in the WPIAL that we don't need to go out somewhere far away. I am sure the kids want to go out of town, but I like to have kids sleeping in their own beds. I think it's just better.
"It was two long days, but a great bonding experience for our kids down there. They learn they really have to depend on one another. We took 20 kids down and they all got an equal opportunity to play. It's not about winning and losing; it's about getting your kids ready to play."
The Planets went 7-3 at the camp and were eliminated in the semifinals.
All teams at the camp are grouped together — regardless of classification — into four divisions with a double-elimination format in effect on the camp's second day.
"That's pretty good for a team that doesn't throw the ball," Heinauer said.
"We don't have five-wide receiver-type sets; we have more of a running game than a passing game. We throw the ball, but not every down. Overall, I was pleased with what our kids accomplished there."
On the first day, Mars beat Peters Township, Plum, East Allegheny and Perry Traditional Academy and lost to Woodland Hills. The Planets beat Neshannock, Elizabeth Forward and North Hills on the second day, but lost to Kirtland, Ohio, and Indiana in overtime in the semifinals.
Games are 30 minutes long with a running clock. Each team begins an offensive possession on the 40-yard line and has four downs to reach the 20. Once there, they have four more downs to score. Linemen are not involved, and the players wear helmets and no other pads.
"It's an unrealistic situation because it's geared toward the passing game; winning games and losing games there has no direct bearing on how the season is going to be," Heinauer said.
"You need to see how your quarterback fares, and we have a three-year starter (Owen Nearhoof) back, so that is a big factor. You need to find kids who can catch the ball or kids who can run routes or see what they need to work on.
"On the defensive side, you get to see about covering man-to-man or zone; you can see if some things are working or not. You can't run man-to-man all day long. You have to mix up things and try to disguise some things and try to confuse the quarterback. I think we did very well."
While the Pitt camp was a unique experience, 7-on-7 passing scrimmages are a regular part of Mars' offseason. The Planets take on local schools in weekly passing encounters. And, again, the teaching/evaluation is more important to Heinauer and his coaches than anything else.
"When the scores start to go in the paper, then it becomes important," he said.
Mars' offseason program of weight lifting, on-field drills and passing scrimmages is beneficial and hard work for the Planets, but not overly demanding.
"A lot of schools go from 8 a.m. until noon every day. We're not like that, and I don't think that's necessary to win games," Heinauer said. "We don't want to burn out the kids. Everyone has his own philosophy.

No folks, there's no need to go hunting for the utmost ridiculous idea to come out of 2009. It might have just scrapped under the wire with all the big fast food blogs handing out invite codes but there is no doubt – Blippy is a brain-dead idea.
When news about the service was first breathlessly broken to the world I wrote up my first impressions of the idea over at my home blog and had a bit of a conversation with Sean P. Aune in our nightly podcast about the in beta service. My feeling some fourteen days later hasn't changed one iota.
For those of you who might not have the faintest clue as to what I am talking about here's the gist of the Story of Blippy.
Sign up with the service.
Add one or more credit cards to your spanking new Blippy account.
As with Twitter add some people to your Blippy Followers list.
Go out and buy something using that credit card.
Then automagically what you have spent, where you spent the money and what you bought will be broadcasted to all your tag-along friends on Blippy.
Yes you read that right. You can broadcast to the world what you are buying and how much you have spent. Talk about a new way to "one up the Jones'". Can someone please – please – tell me how this is in anyway a good idea?
In an interview with Liz Gannes over at GigaOM one of the founders of this <cough>brilliant</cough> idea, Philip "Pud" Kaplan, said that people need to get over the hump of being able to share this kind of personal information.
Uh .. No. No they don't and neither should they just because some Social Media wanker says this is really cool idea and everyone should get in on the fun. On top of it all if you do decide to do something stupid and sign up for this Blippy defaults to share everything publicly – you actually have to go into whatever settings there and flip the switch to private.
Excuse me but this is only begging for something to go wrong. I can just see it now Christmas morning:
"Honey … where is that diamond ring that you bought the other day. You know .. the one that showed up on Blippy?"
"Uhmmmm .. "
<Wife looks up the phone number to her lawyer>
Don't think this will happen? Well in a world where Facebook entries are increasingly be used as grounds for divorce and lawyers are mining them for incriminating information there is no doubt that at some point Blippy will will find itself in the same place. Especially; as Kara Swisher noted in her post about the service, when Blippy inevitably integrates Facebook and Twitter as a way to expand its userbase.
Of course Mr. Breathless Blogger is back pimping a bunch more precious invites but regardless of the spin this is still the absolute stupidest idea to come of 2009. Period.

La Sardina Attends the Antony Morato Opening!2012-07-06 1 Share Tweet
What do you do when an italian fashion brand opens a new showroom in Milano and invites you for the party? It's the best occasion to get fancily dressed and create a lomo reportage with the creative potentials of the La Sardina!
On June 12, 2012, I received the invitation for the opening party of a new showroom in Milano of the fashion brand, Antony Morato.
Since the beginning of my lomo experience, I wanted to portray the energy and the joy of a party event with the particular style of a lomo shooting.
I decided to use my La Sardina equipped with Fritz the Blitz flash and 3 colour filters because of its versatile possibilities of shooting wide angle pics also in poor light conditions, and in addition I wanted to try some light painting effects using the colourful neon lights of the showroom.
I usually like to capture details of things and people, even getting very close to the subject, and La Sardina was the ideal companion also for close-up pictures. The party was full of creative people and the energy of the brand Antony Morato was always around.
As I experimented in the past, the appeal of a lomo camera make it easy to involve people as subjects, and the creative angle of some shootings helped me to get smiling faces around me. Even the two or three dogs were happy and curious to be captured by La Sardina.
Shooting from the top of a light cube or from the floor-height, gives to this reportage a perfect idea of the possibilities to get some images in a divverent perspective.
I used two films: Fuji Velvia 100 x-processed to get that particular fuchsia-coloured images, and Lomo X-pro slide 200 to capture the best of images in poor light conditions.
In addition to that, the people of the party was really attracted by my light painting experiments and many of them wanted to know more about that strange camera and the analogue way of taking pictures.
Thanks to all people at Antony Morato that allowed me to capture the happiness of this nightly party!
Get ready to sail the high seas with our new La Sardina collection! These 35mm cameras are equipped with spectacular wide-angle lens, multiple exposure capabilities, and a rewind dial—everything you need for fun-filled and thrill-soaked escapades. Get your own La Sardina camera now!

The Good, The Bad & The Whatever At The 2012 Tribeca Ball
There's always a solid style turnout for the Tribeca Ball, and it's no wonder why. The occasion, hosted each year by the New York Academy of Art, calls upon an eclectic cast of characters, from the most watched celebrities and socialites to revered artists and tastemakers. Last night's Ball was the first to denote a guest of honor — Robert DeNiro was distinguished for his lifelong commitment of the arts, namely in Tribeca. In fact, the actor is actually responsible for founding Tribeca Film (and, later, its eponymous festival) in 1988. Pretty cool! Anyway, let's get to it: here are my picks for the good, the bad, and the whatever from last night's event. Teaser: Paz de la Huerta was there. Thank God!

PlayhouseSquare to Commence Dramatic Neighborhood Transformation
We are making a dramatic change to our neighborhood: through a spectacular design plan that includes dynamic lights and video signage, elegant gateways and the world's first and largest outdoor chandelier, we are bringing the historic beauty of our theaters outdoors for all to enjoy. Watch a video of the beginning of our transformation here.
Design Elements
Chandelier Spectacular
The centerpiece of the plan is the world's largest permanent crystal chandelier in the style of grand chandeliers seen in Playhouse Square lobbies. The chandelier itself will be 20 feet in height and adorned with more than 4,200 crystals. Suspended from a 44-foot high steel structure, the chandelier will grace the intersection of E. 14th Street and Euclid Avenue.
Improved Outdoor Experience
The perfect place for casual meetings, relaxation and entertainment, Star Plaza has been refreshed a stage for concerts, lectures and more; a new sound system; a cozy fire pit and a new dining experience by Cowell & Hubbard's Zack Bruell. Dynomite features sandwiches, wine and beer.
Four elegant gateways will define the Playhouse Square neighborhood, creating a feeling of anticipation as you arrive at a destination guaranteed to inspire.
Retro Signage
A retro "stick built" sign structure, featuring 9-foot letters and rising to a height of 40 feet will be erected on top of the buildings near the corner of E. 13th St. and Euclid Avenue, paying homage to Cleveland's 1920s-era roots when Playhouse Square's historic theaters were built.
Lighting Up Playhouse Square
Existing Playhouse Square signage – the iconic vertical sign, marquees and news tickers – will be replaced with energy-efficient LED signage. In addition, key neighborhood buildings will receive "up-lighting" treatments to create a glowing nightly ambience and movement.
Active and Engaging Signage
A digital signage network will come to life both above and at pedestrian level to create movement, interaction with viewers, color and vibrancy throughout the neighborhood. Engaged users may see their own images, special messages and visual art as it is being created.
Save the Date of May 2!
We have set the date of May 2, 2014 for the lighting of the dramatic design features commissioned to bring the beauty of its historic theaters outdoors, creating an even more inviting and vibrant destination in the heart of downtown Cleveland. The May 2nd event will include a gala benefit and community celebration. "We hope everyone will plan to be part of the excitement on May 2," said Playhouse Square President and CEO Art J. Falco, "While we are not yet ready to announce the evening's details, I will say that it will be quite a special night for Northeast Ohio. You are going to want to be able to say you were there." Click here to watch the video of the announcement made on Fox 8 News.
Announcing the "GE Chandelier"
On May 2, Playhouse Square will unveil the "GE Chandelier," the world's largest, permanent outdoor chandelier. This 20-foot tall chandelier, the most unique element of the Playhouse Square neighborhood transformation project, will grace the intersection of Euclid Avenue and East 14th Street.
GE Lighting has become a major supporter of the project and exclusive sponsor of the chandelier. GE LED lighting solutions will be used in several transformation design elements: digital signage, gateways and building uplighting, as well as in the chandelier.
"GE Lighting is proud to be the exclusive sponsor of Playhouse Square's iconic chandelier and also play a significant role in lighting the theater district with innovative, energy-efficient LED lighting," said Maryrose Sylvester, GE Lighting President and CEO.
Going for the Record
It's official! We will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for largest outdoor chandelier. We will send in our evidence after the GE Chandelier is installed and anticipate a ruling by mid-summer.
PlayhouseSquare has engaged Mark Cheplowitz of Wizard of Ahs as event director for the May 2 community celebration and unveiling. His impressive resume includes Superbowl half-time shows, college bowl games, a wide array of corporate events and the grand openings of the Great Lakes Science Center and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. We feel fortunate that he is right here in Cleveland, and will share information about the plans he's dreaming up for the big event soon.

Focusing mostly on sidescrolling action, the upcoming Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate has been characterized as a "MetroidVania" experience, much to the delight of gamers like, say… Chris Sims. In a new interview with Polygon, BAOB director Mark Pacini may have sweetened the pot even further for players as he likened the title to yet another classic gaming series. How does Batman with a Mega Man twist sound?
No, Batman won't be blasting away at robots, but BAOB will allow players to choose their own boss order. Beating bosses yields upgrades, too, giving players the chance to complete the game at varying degrees of difficulty to encourage replaying again and again.
"It's more akin to how Mega Man used to do it," Pacini told Polygon, "where if I get this item, then this boss is a lot easier."
Depending on which path players take (and which items they equip), "the game's final half hour" will apparently be vastly different. Beating the game will also unlock new items like special suits with the kind of perks that make dying less of a concern – like increased bullet resistance.
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate will be available on the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS/2DS on October 25.

|North Hopkins beats Cumby in five games
|Joseph Elerson | News-Telegram Sports Writer
Sept. 21, 2005 - CUMBY - With a No. 10 ranking by the Texas Girls Coaches Association and a 18-3 record going into their district opener, the North Hopkins Lady Panthers needed five games against a scrappy Cumby Lady Trojans team Tuesday night.
The Lady Panthers won by scores of 25-9, 25-19, 20-25, 23-25, 15-7 to open 1-0 in District 19-A with a non-district doubleheader against Avery and Sulphur Bluff Friday night. North Hopkins plays Fruitvale next Tuesday night.
"That is what you call volleyball - the emotional ups and downs of the game, and you just have to be mentally tough at the end," said NHHS coach Danna Lewis.
"The girls put it together at the end and didn't make any mistakes which is important. I am proud of how the girls played in the first, second, and fifth set and I don't know what happened in the second and third set."
Renee' Morris, in here first year as head coach at Cumby, was proud of the way her team battled against North Hopkins.
"I felt like we played hard pretty all night and we never gave up. I am proud of the kids for the effort that they gave in the game," the coach said.
North Hopkins opened Game 1 on a 6-1 rally as Maegan Baxter assisted Katy Williams for an early kill. Baxter finished the match with 26 assists, three kills and one ace, while Williams had 18 kills, four blocks and two aces.
"Katy is awesome at the net and you can talk about your setters and Maegan is the only one that I have. She is working overtime, and she is averaging over 30 assists a game for us," Lewis said.
Game 2 was a back-and-forth affair between the two teams as Cumby's Scarlett Tarno tied the game at 4-4 on a kill from a Mary Ugalde assist, but Cumby could not get a lead during that game.
"Scarlett is my overall go-getter on offense and defense and she is a leader for the team and also is my most consistent player on the team," Morris said. "Beside Scarlett, Mary also is one of the top players that runs this team."
In Game 3, the Lady Trojans came out intense as they took an early 5-1 lead on an ace from Lindsey Lemon, and strong play from Ashley Heer secured the win on three consecutive aces late in the match.
Lewis said one of the main areas that the team needs to work on before Fruitvale next Tuesday night is working on filling some holes on the defensive side of the floor.
"We need to fill up some holes that we saw tonight and Cumby did an awesome job scrapping in the game," Lewis said.
In Game 4, Cumby (11-10) jumped out to a 12-6 lead on a kill by Karen Lacey, but the play of Williams and Ebbonye Johnson tied the game back up at 18-18.
Cumby won the game, 25-23, on a kill from Erin Templeton off an assist from Kasidy Huddleston.
In the final game, North Hopkins found every way possible to confuse Cumby and took a 14-7 lead on a kill from Johnson off an assist from Baxter.
Lewis said Tuesday's win was a total team effort and praised the play of Johnson and Tashona Berry for their play at the net. Berry had three aces and eight kills, and Johnson finished with nine kills for the Lady Panthers.
Morris said the Lady Trojans will be working on positioning and reading the opposing defense during practice this week as they prepare for Yantis next Tuesday.
Tarno led the way for the Lady Trojans with 11 kills, five aces and one block, while teammate Templeton had nine kills and one ace. Ugalde had 10 assists, four kills and three aces.

Beyonce's Baby Gender Reportedly Revealed
A source close to pregnant pop star Beyonce has spilled the beans on baby Jayonce's gender! Following previously reported speculation, the source has confirmed that Bey and hubby Jay-Z are expecting a baby girl!
Beyonce's mom Tina Knowles revealed that she and those close to her famous daughter already knew the baby's gender, and it looks like the singer's friends just couldn't keep the secret to themselves. The insider reportedly told In Touch, "Beyonce is thrilled she's having a daughter."
And while the mom-to-be would've been happy with a healthy child of either sex, she reportedly was secretly hoping for a girl. "She and her mother are so close, and she's wanted to have that relationship with her own child," the source revealed.
The source also alleges that the fashionista is so eager to play dress-up with her baby girl that she has been swiping her credit card to buy the future diva mini outfits from designer brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton. "Her family's afraid there won't be anything left to buy for her baby shower in December!" the source claimed.
To go along with her wardrobe fit for a princess, Queen B's daughter will have a palace-sized nursery to match — a reported 2,000 square foot nursery to be exact. We're guessing it will be pimped out with a gilded crib and diamond-encrusted baby monitor, too.

Tony's Testimonial finale, taking place at Sixways Stadium, will be a glamorous star-studded night packed full of unmissable entertainment and special guests. Comedian Vince Earl will be hosting the evening with rugby internationals Chris Latham, Sam Tuitupou, Rico Gear, Pat Sanderson and Greg Rawlinson all in attendance to support their fellow team-mate.
The evening will start with a champagne reception followed by a four-course dinner, auction, raffle, charity casino and one of the UK's best Rat Pack tributes 'The Brit Pack' providing musical entertainment.
Money raised on the night will go towards Tony's Benefit Year and his chosen charities; Acorns Children's Hospice and the PRA Benevolent Fund.
"There are few, if any front row forwards who have contributed so much and for so long as Tony," said Worcester skipper Pat Sanderson.
"It does not do justice to talk solely of his rugby achievements as they don't nearly describe the effect this man has had within the game of rugby both at Gloucester and most recently at Worcester. A great club man, and a real leader. It is a real testament to Tony's ability - and age for that matter - a prop serving over twenty years of first class rugby is surely something we are likely never to see again."

Editors Note: I originally wrote this post on another blog, with the intent of letting men know that they too can be stalked and harassed. As I now have my "own" blog, I have decided to start
moving the various posts that I have all over the place to their new home. This particular post came from talking to and reading about how different men who were being stalked/cyber-stalked and the outrage I felt and still do by the way. The humanist in me felt that reaching out to the men who are going through this terrible situation is as important as reaching out to all women and talking about how to read the signs and learn how to handle, what can be a terrifying ordeal is necessary if we
are to truly help and support those who need us. How does it feel to be stalked? I Dare you to take this lollipop test - then you tell me?
moving the various posts that I have all over the place to their new home. This particular post came from talking to and reading about how different men who were being stalked/cyber-stalked and the outrage I felt and still do by the way. The humanist in me felt that reaching out to the men who are going through this terrible situation is as important as reaching out to all women and talking about how to read the signs and learn how to handle, what can be a terrifying ordeal is necessary if we
are to truly help and support those who need us. How does it feel to be stalked? I Dare you to take this lollipop test - then you tell me?
This post starts out with a news story that happened in 2011….
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has obtained a temporary restraining order against a California man accused of stalking him, his girlfriend and his sister. Read the rest of the story about this stalking issue
The fact of life is that as more and more people are using the web, it is not just the rich and the famous who are being stalked and harassed and it is not just children who are having to deal with these terrible issues, but ordinary people like you also. It is a truism that as we use social networks more and more, we put ourselves at risk, letting our guard down, parting with so much information about ourselves, little realizing how that same information can be used against us, by those who feel hurt for whatever reason which can include family members or close friends, colleagues and lord forbid the "ex's". While women are still the main focus of stalking and harassment, men are also having to deal with the same issues and it can be down right scary! In some ways I feel that men do not get enough support nor help from people on these issues ( unless you are a Mark Zuckerberg) and so this post is for all the men who are going through this type of situation – oh and ladies, maybe these pointers will be of use to you as well. Many people tend to think of men being stalked like the movie "Play Misty for Me" ( 1971 movie with Clint Eastwood) and for some that might be the case, but there is a lot more going on in the digital world and in ways a lot more "deadlier". Just as women need to learn how to protect themselves, so do men so here are some tips to watch for. The first and the most important clue that there is something very wrong is when the stalker person pushes for information regarding your personal life, private life, or life away from the net! I have to be honest guys, it is one thing to chat with different people, to communicate and to even share "some" of your life, but when a person ( and it can be other guys) start pumping you for information and will NOT BACK DOWN when you politely tell them to stop..that should be a red flag for you to be super cautious!
Some signs to look for that this could be happening to you…. You keep getting emails from a person. They keeping wanting to know about you and what you are doing, but will NOT share any information about themselves. (RED FLAG) You have politely told a person to go away in an email and they keep mailing you on all kinds of topics and most of them are personal ( RED FLAG) You are on a social community like Twitter, Facebook and a person is constantly insulting you, challenging you or on the other side of the coin, they can be very helpful and very nice BUT they just don't stop ( RED FLAG) You are on a community and that "person" is directing comments or suggestions directly at you..all the time! You feel singled out and uncomfortable ( RED FLAG)
While many people and guys this includes you, think that you can handle this situation, it never hurts to remind you that there are steps you should be taking to protect you and your family…. First off educate yourself! How do you know when it is harassment, cyber-stalking or just a person wanting to communicate According to Black's Law dictionary Harassment is
"A course of conduct directed at a specific person that causes substantial emotional distress in such person and serves no legitimate purpose" or "Words, gestures, and actions which tend to annoy, alarm and abuse (verbally) another person."
Cyberstalking is a focused kind of harassment and according to Department of Justice 1999 study defines it this way
the use of the Internet, e-mail, or other electronic communications devices to stalk another person. Stalking generally involves harassing or threatening behavior that an individual engages in repeatedly, such as following a person, appearing at a person's home or place of business, making harassing phone calls, leaving written messages or objects, or vandalizing a person's property." Cyber-stalkers frequently follow their targets around the net, frequenting in chat rooms, message boards, newsgroups or mailing lists in which the target participates. At times they will also attempt to form relationships with those who are friendly with the target in order to get more information about the target.
So what can you do?
1. Send the person a strong message "Do not contact me in any way in the future."…trust me you wont have to explain and you don't want to give any leeway for them to engage with you. 2. On most communities you can block people. USE the block button asap. If they find
a way to message you, ignore them, do not respond in any manner to anything they might say.
a way to message you, ignore them, do not respond in any manner to anything they might say.3.Save everything that this person might be sending to you and that includes tweet, Facebook statuses etc. If they send emails, save them in a special folder. You may not think some of the things said are important, but they will build a picture of stalking/harassment. 4. Tell people that you trust -your best buddy, a family member, doctor about what is going on. Get their opinion and support. Stalkers are like bullies, they thrive on the power they have over you..lessen that power. 5. Contact a community administrator of a social site. Take the time to read the terms of service on any social site to get ideas or for help Twitter – Reporting an abusive user Facebook - Report Abusive Behavior 6. If you have taken all of the steps listed above and the abuse continues then notify your local local police department…and please don't wait! Have I missed anything? Lets talk about this – you are not alone and Remember guys and gals , its is OK to protect yourself …. #justsaying

Credit for this recipe goes to the McAfee family–Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe with me!
Last Friday, I cooked dinner in time for a friend's arrival. I wanted to make one of his favorite dishes, so I settled on this ah-maz-ing dish that is different than anything I ever cook, but is super tasty and EASY!
This dish doesn't really have an official name (to my knowledge), so I just call it Flavorful Sausage Pasta. I've made this before so it doesn't count as one of my new recipes/month, as I resolved to do for New Year's, but it is still too good not to share!
- 1 lbs. sausage (I used mild)
- 1 box of bow-tie pasta
- 1 can of diced tomatoes with basil, drained
- 1/2 can of banana pepper rings chopped (I used mild)
- Olive oil
- Seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Accent (use to your liking)
- Boil water and cook the bow-tie pasta. Drain and place in a bowl or baking dish.
- Brown the sausage. Drain.
- Drizzle olive oil on the pasta, enough to coat it.
- Drain tomatoes and add to pasta.
- Cut up pepper rings and add to pasta. Add some of the pepper ring juice to the pasta for added flavor.
- Sprinkle on seasonings. Stir.
- Add browned sausage.
- Optional: Put into a baking dish, sprinkle on parmesan, and bake in the oven for a few minutes.
That's it! So easy and so yummy!
What's cookin' at your house this week?
Linking up to the Create & Inspire Party!

Instead of trophies, I ordered these for my U8 girls team. We put their names on the ball, I then told them that I wanted them to wear the ball out over the winter. The girls seemed to like these better than a trophy.
After quite a bit of comparison shopping for soccer balls to go in OCC boxes, I decided on these. They arrived in two days and deflate/inflate correctly with the $2.99 pump sold here. The ball has 'regulation weight & size' printed on it. Exactly what I wanted. Just deflate with valve on one end,fits great.
I purchased for my grandson and tried it out myself and loved it so I didn't give it to him LOL
Ball looks good and plays great. Very colorful! You can't miss this ball on the field.
I bought 20 of these balls as party favors for my 2 year old's birthday party. They arrived much sooner than I expected, and they were in great condition (no scratches or scuffs like the ones I saw in store). The only problem was that I had to borrow a neighbor's air pump to inflate them a little bit more. Overall, a great purchase that the kids loved.
These were exactly what was represented in the puc, and was a good price.
I bought this ball for my granddaughter to use in her practice days for league soccer. All of her fellow teammates loved it, and she can really get distance with this ball. The smiles on her face make the true review of this soccer ball. Thanks
I brought when my friends family come to my house. The kids enjoyed playing soccer with this ball. Great ball!
My son chose this during the Olympics and thinks "it's cool"
Great gift and very pleased with the product. Great online service
I bought the balls for my boys for Christmas. They loved them!
I bought this ball for my U-14 daughter. Great purchase!
I bought this product a while back and happy with product.
Since we bought this ball it has been used daily and stands up well to all the usage.
This item was delivered quickly! Exactly as described, perfect size & colors.
It's good, it changed my life and what i thought about soccer. so sad that the copa a is comming to a end but at least there are eruos
This is a decent ball but it is a size 4 futsal ball for adults. I was looking for a size 3 futsal ball for youth.
I bought two of these Brava size 5 Pro Soccer Balls for my grandson, which plays on a Select Soccer team. Great durability, love the different colors offered. A great practice ball!
So far this ball has been great! The sparkle on it is a little rough to touch, which is different than any other soccer ball we have played with.
Product arrived quickly and in good condition. Would definitely purchase from here again.
Have been buying size one soccer balls for my German Shepherd Dog. Most puncture easily, lasting a day or two. These are built so even when they are chomped on they last. Still have one from my first order in February.
I bought this soccer ball for my son and he absolutely loves it!
We got this as a Christmas gift for our son. We're so glad we did--he LOVES IT! Great ball, very high quality!
Bought this for my grandson. He thinks its the coolest ball ever. Shipping was fast. We are very happy with our purchase.

Warsaw (Dec. 31)
30 per cent. of the Jewish traders and artisans throughout the country have been unable to pay the fees necessary to renew their licences for the new year, it is stated to-day. Intervention made to the authorities to allow licence holders to pay their fees by instalments has been unsuccessful.
Delegations from the Central Federation of Jewish Small Traders and the Central Federation of Jewish Artisans have been appealing to the Warsaw Jewish Community to help them to pay the fees for their members, because otherwise they would have to shut their shops and workshops, but the Community was unable to raise the money. The Jewish Rescue Committee expressed itself anxious to help, but has been waiting for funds from the Joint Distribution Committee which have not yet arrived. Saturday is the last day on which the licences can be renewed, otherwise they lapse.

This is an excerpt from Maria Popova's excellent Brainpickings, about subjective mapping of Manhattan. It's actually more relevant to some of Rebecca's earlier work than it is to this particular conversation, but I think it's still to the point.
Just a quick note:
I cannot tell you how exciting it was to be in a room of other folks thinking about trauma on both the personal and cultural level.
Wonderful presentations. Great discussion. Exciting community of thinkers!
What made this event successful, I think, was the way it moved beyond simple issues of repression toward (as Dr. Medina pointed out) appropriate silence. (Dr. Medina seemed to point us toward the different of Lyotard.)
So many connections, all valuable…
What is unspoken says as much or more than what is said, sometimes I thought was eloquently said by Prof. David Beard. I thought that the panel discussion did an excellent job in the juxtaposition of visual text, photography and imagery.
One of the underlining themes that stuck out to me during the presentations and discussion was the "Silence of Shame". This phrase encompasses a dimensional interpretation from the; past, present and future. The act of remaining silence is sometimes a coping method that is used by perpetrators and bystanders. To conceal the events in hopes that the transgressions dissipates into vacuum of obscurity, is a way that "we" as a community tend to find resolute instances that were discussed. This transgression of the actors upon the inflicted audience (People or persons) demonstrated by (Ground Zero, Guantanamo, the Duluth Lynching.) exemplified this meaning of "Unspoken". I would like to see or hear more about the role of shaming and the context and relationship it has by the perpetrator and the victim.
Rebecca Krinke sent this message for the blog, to get the conversation about the panel started.
Making as Thinking
For IAS Blog —Unspoken
Rebecca Krinke
September 7, 2013
The impulse to create an Unspoken Panel came from my art practice. I have learned through making my art that "the unspoken" is a primary theme of my work. Tim Ingold, in his new book, Making: Anthropology, Archaeology, Art, and Architecture, offers the premise that the academy foregrounds the theorist or scholar who "makes through thinking", and does not often see another way of thinking – the artist who "thinks through making". This was useful to me – and as one who primarily "thinks through making" – I realized that I wanted to explore the theme of "the unspoken" with those who primarily "make through thinking". I see this panel as one aspect of a large multidimensional project I am just beginning on "the unspoken".
I will open the Thursday @ 4 by very briefly showing two artworks of mine that helped me to see "the unspoken". One is from my studio practice (Undertow: The Clues), an installation made for a gallery show, and the other a participatory work of public art (What Needs To Be Said?).
I am delighted that five distinguished scholars David Beard, Jeanne Kilde, Kevin Murphy, Naomi Scheman and José Medina accepted the invitation to be part of Unspoken and present short illustrated presentations on how they see "the unspoken" in their work – primarily with sites of trauma: Ground Zero, Guantanamo, the Duluth Lynching. The enthusiasm for this topic showed by the panelists has been deeply gratifying; for example, when I first floated the idea of this project/panel, David Beard, Associate Professor, Rhetoric, UMD, wrote to me:
"As a communication teacher, I am deeply interested in supporting this. What is unspoken says as much or more than what is said, sometimes. As a Duluthian, the standard example of this was the erasure from the public record and the public discourse of the Lynching in 1920. From about 1930 to 1990, the Lynching was repressed in public memory and actually obscured, by some accounts, from the public record (perpetrators were convicted of "incitement" rather than of murder, for example)."
Some of the questions I am interested in exploring in my own work and in the Unspoken project are:
• What does it mean to speak the unspoken? When does this happen and why? What results?
• In a global, online culture, what are the ways that virtual space interacts with the unspoken? And how can we think about the role of physical space and virtual space for addressing the unspoken?
• How do conceptions of public and private engage ideas of the unspoken?
• What are the conditions that surround the making of the "new memorials" that have been built in the last ten years – that center on ideas of redress, atonement, and reconciliation? What impact do these sites have on those affected by the trauma? How do they compare with "unofficial memorials" built by individuals or grassroots efforts?
About Rebecca Krinke, panel organizer:
I have built several works of public art-design that explore ideas and issues surrounding what is public and what is private, what is said and not said, and what is deliberately withheld (unspoken). I have also explored what cannot be said because it exists in memory fragments or intrusions only. Recent built works of mine have created temporary shared social spaces for emotional engagement and catharsis; these include What Needs To Be Said?, a contemplative writing room and social engagement project located in a vacant storefront on University Avenue and at the Nash Gallery, 2012; and Flood Stories, 2011, commissioned by the Plains Art Museum in Fargo. Unseen/Seen: The Mapping of Joy and Pain traveled to parks and public spaces in Minneapolis-St. Paul in the summer of 2010, and challenged conventional ways of seeing the Twin Cities as it invited participants to map their emotional connection to place.

Tipitaka >> Sutta Pitaka >> Samyutta Nikaya >> Bilaro Sutta
Translation by Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna
I heard thus. At one time the Blessed One was living in the monastery offered by Anathapindika in Jeta's grove in Sàvatthi.
At that time a certain monk was engaged with the business of families too long. Then other monks said to him: "Friend, do not be engaged with the business of families for such a long time."
He did not take that advice and did not stop it.
Then many monks approached the Blessed One, worshipped and sat on a side.
Sitting on a side those monks said to the Blessed One: "Venerable sir, a certain monk is engaged in the business of families too much. We told him friend, do not be engaged in the business of families too much, he did not take the advice and did not stop it."
"Monks, in the past there was a cat who tracked weak mice at the edge of rubbish heaps and dust heaps, thinking. `When these weak mice come for food, I will get at them and eat them then and there.'
"Then, monks, the weak mice came for food and the cat ate them completely. It ate the mice and their entrails as a result it met death or unpleasantness close to death.
"In the same manner, monks, a certain monk wearing robes in the morning and taking bowl and robes enters a certain village or hamlet for alms food not protected in the body, in words and the mind.
"There he sees a woman not well dressed and not well covered and his mind is overwhelmed with greed. With a mind overwhelmed with greed he comes to death or deathly unpleasantness.
"Monks, in the dispensation of the noble ones death is a synonym for the monk's stepping down from the holy life. Deathly unpleasantness is a synonym for falling to some offence, for which he has to make amends by some declared suitable means.
"Therefore, monks, you should train thus: `We will enter a village or hamlet for alms food, with our body, words and mind protected, mindfulness established and with controlled mental faculties.'
Monks you should train thus."

A new measurement system to determine how many people are watching television shows online is yet to devise a way to account for the different types of advertisements on each platform.
The system, being developed by TV ratings agencies OzTAM and Regional TAM together with Nielsen, will potentially revolutionise overall TV ratings but will not benefit advertisers until the discrepancy in ads is reconciled.
"We haven't worked out how we report that and put it back together," said OzTAM chief executive Doug Peiffer.
Another factor to be determined is the maximum time period to take data from, whether it is one week, like consolidated TV viewing numbers, or one month.
"We've got to cut it off at some point," Mr Peiffer said.
The three agencies have been trialing the online TV viewing system this year and hope to have the first batch of data to analyse by early next year.
"It's still very early days," he said. "I haven't seen any data in terms of viewing figures."
The free-to-air TV industry is eager to use to data to persuade advertisers that the reach and frequency of individual TV shows is significantly more than the combined audience numbers for live viewing and consolidated viewing (when people watch a show on their personal video recorder up to one week after the live broadcast).
Consolidated viewing alone can lift a program's audience numbers by as much as 30 to 50 per cent.
However, with online viewing of TV shows – often called "catch-up TV" – advertisers must book ads separately than for those ads that appear in the TV broadcast. In addition, the online version of the TV shows do not have the same number of commercial breaks than on TV.
Mr Peiffer said one option was "data fusion" to reconcile and capture data from the different ads on TV and online.
The trial involves some of the panel households set up for TV ratings taking a dual metre for both TV and PC.
It started with 100 households at the start of the year taking dual panels and will increase by the end of the year to about 350, representing 10 per cent of the 3500 total number of panel households by then. "At some point we have to decide how big to take that sample," said Mr Peiffer. "Ten per cent is not enough."
Although the TV industry is hoping to use the online data next year, Mr Peiffer said the timing of launch had still to be decided.
The system will be extended to smart phones and tablets at a later date.

Bridget Marquardt in a Bikini
Do your lips hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?
Haha true. But to be fair shes probably got a better body than any of the people who'll ever comment on this site
Isn't she like 40 or something? So her body is fine.
She quite aging well, body looks good!
She is 37, I also think she looks great. Long slim legs, real boobs, nice face – she's hot! She might not be perfect, but when people are, they're usually photoshopped ;)
I agree, she looks even better than when she was on TGND. It doesn't look like she does Botox at all, good for her!

Year abroad depression
I'm currently on a year abroad as part of my degree, and since being here I've been really really depressed. I'm really struggling with the language - I can write and read just fine, but when it comes to understanding and speaking I just can't do it at all. I've been here for 6 months and I don't feel like I've improved at all. And I keep seeing other people on Facebook who are on their year abroad saying how much they love it and are having an amazing time, and that just makes me feel worse. I just feel awful, like I can't do anything and I'm useless and worthless. Travelling was supposed to be my dream, but now that I'm actually here, I just feel so depressed all the time and not enjoying it at all. But at the end when I go home I know I'll feel like I've wasted my time here, but right now I don't know what to do. I'm too depressed to do anything.

Re: Year abroad depression
I understand your situation. I have been in countries where I was dependent on a contact for verbal understanding and speaking. I learned a few important phrases to help.
You have not mention the language you need to understand. Being able to read and write puts you at an advantage from most people not speaking that language.
Even google translate that can be used on a low price Smartphone would be helpful. You could write in the phrase you wanted to speak and the translator using wifi could speak the words.
That's the most cost effective software translator I can think of, without paying someone.
On the internet, you could determine if there are any fellow countrymen/women living nearby who would have suggestions as well.
You could try researching a room rental company that organizes the renter to find accommodations. Sometimes, you will come across English speaking people, either the renter or person letting out the room. Then, they may be able to give you some ideas on how to help you out with possible local contacts.
I get fed, don't worry.

I wanted to make something handmade for Easter. So, I made this tussie mussie reminiscent of the Victorian era.
While searching the internet for ideas, I saw some crocheted Easter eggs, and some tussie mussies made from paper.
To make this tussie mussie, I used designer paper and other materials that I had on hand. Designer paper is perfect to use as it is stiffer than paper, but not as still as cardboard.
All nestled atop a bed of moss-
I crocheted the eggs, flowers, and lace border (chart here) using crocheted thread. The ribbon is sewed on using little buttons. Then to make the sign, I used my trusty PSP7 program. The little bunny is a computer graphic that I had made years ago.
I used a cone template, for the tussie mussie, that I found online. Here is where you will find all kinds of cone templates. To hold the tussie mussie together, I glued and then used brads for added security.
You can find the chart for the lace edging here.
This was a cute, easy and quick little Easter project.

Real Estate Law
Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
Thank you for contacting Just Answer. I look forward to assisting you.
By using the eviction track, you've used one of the options I was going to suggest to you. The next step is court, of course. With a court order, the property can be removed from the shed.
Another option is mediation, but this isn't realistic if you can't find one of the parties.
So yes, the most prudent thing is to legally evict this person from the shed, as you are already doing. You will need proper service for court; a legal messenger service may be able to serve him, and then in court, request that the client be reimbursed for the cost of service of process (and the filing fee, interest, whatever).
If the "tenant" feels he is owed money, well, that's a whole different matter, and he can go after the other person through mediation or Small Claims Court.
These are two separate matters (legally) unless you are describing two halves of a married couple.
My best,
Jane Doe Deer
Sure - and will you tell me if it's going to snow when I fly into Denver on Saturday? :)
Let me clarify one thing with you.
When the guy whose stuff is in the shed left it there, was he just renting the shed, period? If so, was there a monthly amount, or was it in exchange for the work? Or did he even rent the shed? Was he just storing his gear in the shed while he was doing the work?
I'm asking all these questions to find out whether this should be treated like a residential eviction or commercial eviction. I'm also trying to look at it from a basic contracts angle.
I'd treat it in the eviction as an "in the alternative."
The complaint can have a section where it says, if the court treats this as commercial property, here's what we are arguing and what we want.
In the alternative, if the court treats this as residential, here's what we are arguing and what we want.
Naturally, if there is a significant difference for you between it being residential or commercial, you'd want to let the judge know in what you write up which one you're asking him or her to call it.
However, I searched the CO statutes and the only distinction I can find is between house/apartments and mobile home parks. I don't see a special eviction procedure for commercial.
As you know, I can't give you advice on what's the better course, because that would be legal advice. But what I told you gives you both alternatives in one package.
Link to state statutes: http://www.michie.com/colorado/lpext.dll?f=templates&fn=main-h.htm&cp=
As you may know, many courts sell the packet of forms needed for an eviction, or even provide them for free online.
Here is a good starting place to look for free forms and instructions: http://www.coloradosupremecourt.com/
Here are the eviction instructions I found: http://www.courts.state.co.us/Forms/PDF/JDF%20100%20FED%20Instructions.pdf
Here are what appear to be the eviction forms: http://www.courts.state.co.us/Forms/Forms_List.cfm/Form_Type_ID/28
I'll assume that I have answered your question and will "ACCEPT" my answer unless I hear back from you with follow-up questions.
Bonuses of even a few dollars are much appreciated.
I REALLY appreciate POSITIVE FEEDBACK!

These thanks are long overdue. My mother and I visited Wooster for The College of Wooster's 2007 Homecoming this past October, and were received warmly and graciously. Little things like a clean, spacious room at the downtown Best Western, counter service at Freedlander's, friendly smiles at Buehler's market and first-class dining at TJs Restaurant made our visit all the more special.
Most memorable was an experience in the neighboring town of Smithville at the family-owned and run restaurant The Barn. I haven't had pie that delicious in years.
I want to thank the people of Wooster, Smithville and Wayne County for making my homecoming both special and fun.
Best regards,

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/4/2014 (1203 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Brandon has a strong connection to one of Canada's gold medals won at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
Winnipeg's Jill Officer, who worked at the now-shuttered CKX-TV station in Brandon for several years, was in town to sign autographs and pose for pictures with her Olympic hardware at Shoppers Mall on Saturday.
"I came out here in 2001 to work at CKX-TV and I didn't think I'd be here for more than six months or a year and I was here for six and a half years," she said.
Officer won the gold medal with the Canadian women's curling team skipped by Jennifer Jones at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in February.
"I made a lot of friends and a lot of ties to Brandon, and I truly love coming back here to see the community, see how it's changed and see those friends," she said.
A steady stream of people lined up at the mall to catch a glimpse of the gold medal and with its detailed etchings, it rewards a closer look.
"It has a life of its own," Officer said.
"When you pull the medal out, it's a whole new ball game, it's very interesting and very cool and I'm happy to share it with people."
Officer was also in town as part of the RBC Royal Bank Olympic program as a dignitary at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair on Friday.
"The people were really happy to see me back in town," she said.
Officer, along with her team, is still on a whirlwind tour that started the day after the team landed back on Canadian soil when the team announced they would be presenters at the Juno Awards in Winnipeg at the end of March.
"It was great to be part of it, get all dolled up and be part of a great event in Winnipeg," she said.
The Junos was also a homecoming of sorts for the team. The award show was the first time they had been back in the MTS Centre after winning the Olympic trials at the arena in December.
"The response we got at the arena was so out of this world," she said.
Officer and her teammates presented the Fan Choice Award at the Junos, which went to an absent Justin Bieber — and a win that drew boos from the crowd.
"I didn't anticipate the boos for Bieber, but it got us on TMZ I guess," she said laughing, but added it didn't take away from the experience.
"The whole Juno experience was amazing," she said.
"It caught us off guard. I felt a little bit bad for him."
In preparation for their last event of the season in P.E.I. later this month, Officer and her teammates have been shoehorning ice time into their hectic schedule of public appearances.
Officer is off to Yorkton, Sask., this week.

Consumers are bypassing butchers, bakers, greengrocers and convenience stores to do more of their top-up shopping at Coles, fuelling near record sales growth at Australia's second-largest supermarket chain.
Coles is now serving between 1.5 and 2 million more customers a week than in 2007, when
Customers are not only opting to do their big weekly shop at Coles, lured by lower prices, but are popping back for meat, fruit and vegetables, and deli items, driving strong growth in higher margin fresh food sales.
"On almost every measure we look at, we are in much better shape than when we took over the business – and there's been significant improvement in the way customers see us in terms of price and fresh products and availability," Wesfarmers managing director
"Each of our stores, we think, are winning back share Coles had lost when the business lost its way."
Coles clocked up its fastest food and liquor sales growth in almost two years in the March quarter. Sales growth outpaced that at
Sales from stores open at least a year rose 7.2 per cent, the strongest rate of growth since the fourth quarter 2009 and almost double the rate of growth in the March quarter last year. If trading had been adjusted for Easter, same-store sales would have risen a record 7.8 per cent.
Woolworths, which has 30 per cent more floor space than Coles, also delivered better than expected growth, lifting food and liquor sales by 4.6 per cent or $404 million (5.2 per cent adjusted for Easter) to $9.1 billion over the 13 weeks ended April 3. But Woolworths' same-store sales rose about half the rate at Coles.
Both retailers are growing faster than the overall grocery market, taking share from independent retailers and fresh food specialists by winding back prices and improving their produce, meat, bread, seafood and deli offers.
The price reductions have led to calls for greater regulation of the major chains to curtail abuses of market power.
While a Senate committee investigating the impact of Coles's Australia Day milk price cuts has postponed its report until October, consumer group Choice and the Australian Food & Grocery Council have renewed calls for a supermarket industry ombudsman.
Mr Goyder described the call as a "waste of time and money. Why you would want to overload a competitive sector with bureaucracy I have no idea."
Wesfarmers had no intention of backing down from its campaign to restore customer trust in Coles's prices, he said. Prices for soft commodities such as wheat have risen 40 per cent in the past few months and sugar prices have doubled, but Mr Goyder said Coles was continuing to resist pressure from suppliers to lift prices and recoup higher costs.
"We'll only pass on price increases if they're warranted, and we need to be satisfied they are warranted," he said.
Bunnings also delivered better than expected growth in the March quarter, with total sales rising 8.1 per cent and store-on-store sales up 5.5 per cent despite the impact of the floods.
Aviva Investors investment manager John Guadagnuolo said: "Overall I thought the Coles result was very solid, and Bunnings surprised on the upside, given a weaker consumer and a softer housing sector."
But Kmart sales fell and Target's remained soft amid continued price deflation and lacklustre consumer spending.
Mr Goyder said Wesfarmers was pleased with the progress at Kmart, which is moving from a high-low offer to an everyday-low-prices strategy. But he conceded it was struggling to forecast demand as prices and products changed.
Wesfarmers also warned the floods and Christchurch earthquakes would cost its insurance division about $70 million this year, $40 million more than initial forecasts, denting full- year profits.
"It was a solid result from Coles and Bunnings but the shine might be taken off that by the release of the insurance guidance," said Constellation Capital Management equity analyst Dan Nelson.
