Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/1/2013 (1677 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A Winnipeg songwriter who mused about the nature of hope during moments of deep despair trusts national exposure for her song might inspire others to keep going in their own dark moments.
"Sometimes we just live our lives, but when crisis hits and we face challenges, that's when we think about these things more," explains Jaylene Johnson about her thoughts when writing her song titled Hope, released earlier this month on video.
"In crises, that's when I've leaned on God and experienced God more deeply in my life."
Johnson's melodic pop song, co-written with Nashville musician Jim Kimball, was chosen from 70 entries last year as the winner of the Anglican Church of Canada Marks of Mission contest. Johnson has also written music for TV shows such as Pretty Little Liars and Degrassi: The Next Generation.
Marks of Mission refers to the common themes and beliefs of the worldwide Anglican communion.
Johnson's prize was a professionally produced music video of her song, recorded last spring in Vancouver and Winnipeg. Running at just under five minutes, the video features shots of Johnson at The Forks and recording in Vancouver with the Gospel Noise Choir, which provided backup vocals.
Former BTO member Randy Murray, now based in Vancouver, volunteered his time to produce the album and compiled a team of professional musicians and technicians.
"Really, it's putting (together) a piece of music which is pop music with some depth out on the national stage, from the national (Anglican) church, which is not something we usually do," explains Murray in a brief video about the recording of Hope.
The depth in the song stems from Johnson's hopes that her life would get better, despite her personal troubles. For years, she dealt with chronic pain from injuries in a car accident, and despaired she'd ever resume her regular activities. More recently, her voice was damaged from tubes in her throat during surgery.
"In the thick of it, I didn't know if I'd ever feel like myself again," says the substitute teacher and part-time ministry co-ordinator at St. Benedict's Table, an Anglican congregation that meets at All Saints on Sunday evenings.
"Now I'm in the thick of wondering if I'll ever get my voice (back) again."
But she has hope, and not in a trivial way. Johnson is adamant the basis of her hope is always her Christian faith.
"Hope in and of itself is a God-created thing," says Johnson, who acknowledges her song doesn't speak directly of God, the church or faith.
"We don't have to dig too hard to find inspiring stories where so often the thing that keeps people going is hope."
Senior producer Lisa Barry says this is the first time the Anglican Church of Canada has funded and produced a video of a popular song, now posted on YouTube and the national church website (www.anglican.ca/hopesong). Every Anglican parish in Canada will receive a free DVD of the video.
"We are planning through our website to reach the Anglican communion worldwide and make it available," Barry says by telephone from Toronto.
The website also contains the song's lyrics, which compare hope to a bird and a boat providing safety far from shore. Barry says her office is in the process of producing chords so people can sing the song in their churches.
Johnson also sells the track for $1.29 on her website (www.jaylenejohnson.com).
But Hope the song may go on to do bigger things, says Barry, who previously produced videos featuring Anglicans across Canada singing well-known hymns.
"We've seen that when things catch on they can really spread," she says, referring to the viral nature of online videos.
Barry is considering hosting a video competition of people singing Johnson's song and producing a compilation video of the results.
Whatever direction the video takes, Johnson is thrilled to have a professional quality recording of her song to share with her fans and the broader church. And when people listen to it, she hopes they'll pause and take a little time to think about the place of hope in their lives.
"I think we can trivialize hope," she says. "But as a Christian, the hope of my calling is anchored on something eternal."

Got a nice goodie bag from my buddy Griffin today... He hooked me up with a few of his favorites from TX... some Salt Lick Dry Rub, some Salt Lick Lauren's Spicy Recipe BBQ Sauce and a Baylor University t-shirt.
Decided to try all of the above out tonight... I wasn't quite sure what to do with the Rub or Sauce, but I gave it a go on some Chicken Halves...
And my wife snapped a picture of me wearing the Baylor Bears shirt while I waited for the Big Green Egg to come up to temp....
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times by now.....I am bee-yoo-ti-ful!
Anyways, enough pictures of yours truly, before all of you lose your appetite.
Smoke roasted the halved chicken at a dome temp of 375 deg f with some Apple and Cherry Woods for about 45 minutes to an hour.
I didn't sauce the chicken on the grill...instead I served the sauce on the side. I wanted the chicken to stay crispy.
Served up with some Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole, Momma's Homemade Rolls, Corn on the Cob, and the Salt Lick Spicy Recipe Sauce on the side.
This was some of the best chicken I've ever tasted. Griffin, you Texans know your stuff. Thanks again for the hookup! My wife snapped this picture just for fun....
I promise I didn't get any sauce on my shirt. I'll wear it proud when I watch the Bears play ball....UNLESS they are playing my SC Gamecocks. Can't wait to give the Rub and the Sauce a try again...You gotta let me know what else I can use it with.

This would be slow cooker recipe number two for this week- I'm killin' it. I've been seeing and pinning about a million and one versions of oatmeal. No-cook, baked, refrigerator, overnight.. pumpkin pie, banana bread, peaches and cream, carrot cake, honey nut.. you name it, I've got it pinned somewhere on my breakfast board. To me a warm bowl of anything in the morning makes for a great start to the day.

Lately peanut butter and banana toast is all I can think about when I wake up in the morning, so that has been a routine breakfast for me for the past month or so. I'll switch it up and have fruit or Greek yogurt to go with, but the PB toast is always a constant.
Until this morning.
Before heading to bed, I threw my ingredients for this overnight oatmeal into the slow cooker and let it cook away. One of the pure joys of being 25 weeks pregnant, is that I am up and down all night long- bathroom breaks, and in between, stops to the kitchen for something to cure the insane dry-mouth I have around 2:30am, and again about 4am.
It is a vicious cycle that I can do nothing about: drinking and peeing- over and over again. Between my potty breaks and fridge runs, I got pleasant whiffs of cinnamon and brown sugar..
For whatever reason I had been putting off the making of this (or any) oatmeal recipe until after I was at home..and had a little more time to mess with it. After seeing how easy it was, and how quickly my breakfast came together this morning I ask myself, 'why?' I definitely spend more time toasting, spreading, and slicing to whip up my peanut butter and banana toast than I did this morning to pull off the lid of my slow cooker and dish myself a generous bowl of delicious smells.
After I portioned out oats for myself, I continued to lick the spoon..double dipping and totally forgetting that I had an entire bowl waiting for me and getting chilled while I halfway scalded my mouth on the steaming breakfast in the crock pot.
With all these yummy smells of fall weather, I half way expected to wake up to it being 47 degrees outside. But who is lucky enough? I live in Texas- this morning it wasn't as cool as I'd hoped, slightly humid, and looked of rain.
I enjoyed my bowl of oats sitting in front of the kitchen window, where it looked cool and crisp on the outside- and that was good enough for me.
Adapted from Our Best Bites
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 2 large tart apples (such as Granny Smith or Pink Lady), chopped

Spray a 3 1/2 quart or larger slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Combine chopped apples, milk, water, oats, sugar, butter, and flax- stirring to combine. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours (overnight). Stir in 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt into the oatmeal just before serving.
If desired, serve with additional toppings (1 tablespoon dried fruit and 1 tablespoon chopped nuts, each)

CINCINNATI (AP) -- A southwestern Ohio police officer accused of conspiring to smuggle marijuana across the country is set to change his plea to guilty in federal court Thursday.
Bryon Roos had pleaded not guilty in August to charges of money laundering, illegally structuring financial transactions, and conspiring to bring hundreds of pounds of marijuana to southern Ohio from Texas.
The 43-year-old was charged with 10 other men in the case. A number of them have agreed to plead guilty to some charges while others were dropped.
Roos is a veteran officer in the Cincinnati suburb of North College Hill.
North College Hill police have described Roos as a decorated officer who received a medal of valor for rescuing a woman from a burning home in 2011.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo softball team (7-4) collected a pair of wins on day one of the Saint Leo Spring Invitational, Friday evening from University Softball Stadium. The Lions upended Pittsburg State in the opener, 4-2, before downing Lindenwood (Mo.), 10-2, in a six-inning nightcap.
A pair of runs in the sixth inning assisted the Lions to the 4-2 victory over the Gorillas in the opener; while a six-run fourth inning guided the squad to a mercy rule victory over Lindenwood.
In total, the Lions saw 18 hits, including a team-best four base knocks from freshman McKenzie Burns. The centerfielder also scored a team-best four runs. Four other Lions also registered at least two-hits, including Brittany Yates who also led the squad with three RBI.
The Lions took to an early lead in their contest with Pittsburg, as Yates roped an RBI single into right center scoring Burns. After increasing its lead to 2-0 in the second inning, Saint Leo saw its lead disappear by the fifth inning. However a Torrie Weindorf sacrifice fly, coupled with an Angela Kafalas RBI double in the sixth inning gave the Lions a lead they didn't surrender as they posted a 4-2 win.
Ashley Ehlers registered a no decision in the win, but tossed five innings of six-hit ball. She recorded a career-best eight strikeouts in the performance. Kristen Kelly (2-2) received the win as she stymied Gorilla hitting for the final two innings.
Finding themselves down 2-0 after two innings of game two, a shaken Lions' bunch regrouped to tally nine runs over the third and fourth innings.
Alex Garris' RBI double in the third highlighted a three run outburst as the Lions took the lead away from a feisty Lindenwood crew. The onslaught continued in the fourth as Ali Lamb blasted an RBI double to highpoint a six-run fourth inning. The frame saw the Lions manufacture the six runs off only three hits. Victoria Cooper enacted the the mercy rule with an RBI single in the sixth inning.
Megan Still (2-1) was phenomenal in six innings, striking out three batters and scattering four hits.
The Lions stole five bases on the evening, while pitching combined to strike out 11 batters and allow just two earned runs.
The Lions will return to action on Saturday, February 8, when they continue action at the Saint Leo Spring Invitational. The Lions host No.6-ranked Valdosta State at 9 a.m., before challenging St. Mary's at 5 p.m.

Mornin' everyone.
Well - that month's done!
6.4 racewalking miles this morning: 28F with wind from the west. I was disappointed that the cloud cover was thick enough to completely obscure the moon. Fortunately, there was still enough light to tell road from everything else. The winds got a little whippy at times, and was like a cold slap of Aqua-Velva on the side of my face. Near the end of my walk, the clouds opened for a few seconds so the moon could reveal itself - nice. As I approached home, I saw a huge deer wandering our front garden. I was scary enough that it took off for safer territory.
Gotta go - have a greta day!
Without ice cream there would be darkness and chaos.
Hi Jay. Nicel way to finish off Nov.
Got my quick 2 and sent the kids off. Time for an all day training class or snooze fest.
Looking forward to my evening run to finish off the month in style.
Make it a great one o ye Masters of RA.

Happy Friday all!
8 hilly miles in Northern, NH at 5:00 am. Feeling fine. It's nice to be without a serious target race for the moment and just run. Sunday's 5k race will be all about fun and seeing how far ahead of me the kiddo will run.
Aqua-Velva!? Made me giggle Jay.
delicate flower
'Morning, newfound internet friends! 6.7 miles last night at an 8:20 pace. I was planning a much slower run, but my legs felt great so I took advantage of it. I still kept it dialed back though. I've got 7-8 easy miles on the treadmill on my post-work agenda today, which will wrap up a heck of a mileage month for me. Today and tomorrow need to be nice and easy so I can hammer my 5K Sunday.
Time to go hit the work cafeteria for my first water refill of the day. Enjoy your Friday!
I finally felt a little better last night,but I had to run the kids to sports an hour after I woke up. So I did manage to get a 3.5 miler in at a 9:00 pace.
I have my fingers crossed that I should be able to FINALLY get a decent run in tonight. It's supposed to be in the 50's or so here today. I'll be running in shorts and a T-shirt instead of sweats tonight!
See ya.
A Man On The Run!
Good Morning All,
I am new to RA and new to running also, been running since July 1 of this year. I have been lurking since the mass migration from RW. I thought it was time to say "Hi: and get more involved.
Was suppose to do 4 miles this morning but life called and changed my plans....off to work early today.
CW - I love early morning runs when the moon is out. Have e great day.
CR - have a great training class...or snooze.

(Tsukene : Zennou Kyanon) - Root Release : Almighty Cannons
Type : Offensive / Defensive / Supplementary
Rank : S
Range : Short - Long
Chakra cost : 40
Damage points : 80
Description : There are multiple stages to the completion of this technique. First, the creation of a large, hollow root that remains dormant underground, gradually filling itself with water at an incredible pace. All around the large root are several other roots that branch out at various directions. No matter the level of aridness of the terrain, this root will manage to retrieve the water it desires underground, as its sense of water has been further enhanced by chakra. After the time taken to collect the water, the user performs a single handseal, which sends a chakra signal to all the roots. Upon receiving the signal, several or a single root will erupt out of the ground, surrounding the target. The distance between the root and the target will be at least short-range or more. If the user decides to utilize multiple roots for the technique, they will be positioned to form a somewhat, 'circle' around the target, with the circle having the radius of short-range (or more). These roots are connected to the large, main root that holds the water underground. Even while the roots are emerging, they are already undergoing the process of being pumped with water, creating enough pressure for it to be launched as a jet of water, which will momentarily subdue the target, though, not killing them, as there is a true, hidden meaning behind the technique. During the process of all the above shards of roots have been created out of the roots themselves and hidden within the core of the water jets. With the pressure applied by the water jets, it will be enough to pierce these shards into the opponent. Due to the pain felt by the enemy because of the jets of water, it conceals the pain produced by the root shards. The user can choose to silently leave the root shard there for however long they wish, or perform another handseal to activate the root shards. The root shards grow multiple roots that seem to come out of the target's body (since that's where the shard is), and they bind the target, strangling their body, leading to consequences the situation makes for (usually unconsciousness or breaking of bones).
Note : Can only be used twice per battle
Note : Requires at least one or more turns to retrieve the water
Note : The strength of the root shard levels the power of A-rank
Note : Water Release techniques of any rank may not be used in the same turn
Note : Root Release techniques higher than A-rank may not be used in the same turn
Note : Cooldown interval between usages of at least one turn after technique completion

I'm quite new to python scripting and work mostly in arcmap. However for my problem ArcMap does nog have a solution. I want to import a raster dataset and than extract from every cell of the raster the value of the 8 neighbour cells als a list / table. I think this is possible by creating a moving window and a list of list. However, because I'm still a dummy python user I wonder if anyone has an elegant usable solution / script for this problem.
Thanks a lot already

Setting the stage:
If nothing else, the Timberwolves have my attention the rest of this season due to the Kevin Garnett and Gary Neal trades. To say that the team is playing more enjoyable basketball over the past couple of weeks would be an egregious understatement. While players have returned from injury, the two that have mattered the most are Kevin Martin and Ricky Rubio. Everything else is just gravy along the rest of the way through this season.
With the Pups playing better, there are several chances for the team to walk away with a few victories this week. Here is a brief preview for this week's four games:
Game 66: Monday, 3/16, 7pm – Brooklyn Nets @ Timberpups (TV: FS North)
It may not be too surprising to see the Nets' season go down the tubes since the trade deadline. The team essentially threw in the towel and the results since have the team looking below them in the standings to see if anyone else in the Eastern Conference will pass them by.
Opponent to watch:
Thad Young – This will probably be the last time I ever mention Thad on this board, so might as well take the opportunity. The former Pup takes on his former team at the Target Center.
Game 67: Wednesday, 3/18, 6:30pm – Timberpups @ Toronto Raptors (TV: FS North)
The Wolves and Raptors have yet to play this season, but the crowd should be engaged in this one as Andrew Wiggins (and Anthony Bennett) return to the homeland. Toronto has a double digit lead on every other team in its division and has run away with the Atlantic division. However, the standings are tight and they can't afford to drop a home game against the Wolves.
Opponent to watch:
Kyle Lowry – Lowry is having a career best year, leading the Raptors in steals and assists, while second on the team with over 18 ppg. He will give Wolves' PG's fits, particularly if he can get Rubio into foul trouble.
Game 68: Thursday, 3/19, 6:30pm – Timberpups @ New York Knicks (TV: FSN Plus)
Tankapalooza takes its next step as the Wolves head to Madison Square Garden to take on the (dreadful) Knicks. A win by the Wolves should lock up a better season record vs. New York, as Minnesota already defeated the Knicks in early November.
Opponent to watch:
Alexey Shved – Welcome back to Timberpups.com Alexey Shved! Someone is likely telling him to "change your face" on a nightly basis having to play for this awful franchise.
Game 69: Sunday, 3/22, 6pm – Charlotte Hornets @ Timberpups (TV: FS North)
Al Jefferson may be destined to never play meaningful minutes in the playoffs. There is no reason for the Hornets to miss the playoffs and lose a spot to the likes of the Pacers. This team is going to continue to underachieve until Michael Jordan is forced out of retirement again, aren't they?
Opponent to watch:
Mo Williams – Williams has played incredibly well for the Hornets since being traded by the Wolves. Consistently seeing over 30 minutes per game may not be a great way to keep Williams fresh for the end of the season, but the Hornets have no other option at this point.
It is a week of returns for ex-Pups players and facing their former team. The Wolves should be able to pull at least two victories out of this coming week. Let's go Wolves!

Nathan gets 300th save with wild ending
Disputed game-ending called third strike preserves win for Ogando
ARLINGTON -- It wasn't the way Joe Nathan had envisioned getting his 300th save, the milestone that places him among baseball's elite closers, but take this to the bank: he's not throwing it back.
Instant replay showed Nathan's ninth-inning, two-out, runner-at-first, 3-2 curveball to Ben Zobrist darting outside of the strike zone. What it also showed was home plate umpire Marty Foster, taking a deliberate step back as he yanked his right fist backwards.
Strike three. Game over.
On the mound, Nathan wiped the 'I can't believe I got that call' expression off his face and breathed a sigh of relief. He mouthed one word: "Wow!"
"I think I might have been the last guy on the field to realize the game was over," Nathan said.
It was. Nathan's 300th save allowed the Rangers to escape with a 5-4 victory over the Rays in the opener of a three-game series Monday night at The Ballpark in Arlington.
The ninth-inning drama threatened to erase the memory of a game the Rangers had seemed to have well in hand after back-to-back solo home runs by A.J. Pierzynski and Mitch Moreland had given them a 3-1 lead back in the fourth. When Elvis Andrus provided extra padding with a two-run single in the seventh, Texas manager Ron Washington felt confident his bullpen could wrap things up.
Or not.
The Rays rallied for two runs in the eighth off relievers Michael Kirkman and Derek Lowe and had cut the Texas lead to 5-4 on Sean Rodriguez's sharp two-out ninth-inning single up the middle off Nathan.
That was not how Nathan had things planned.
"They have a lot of guys on that team that have given me tough at-bats and tonight was no different," Nathan said. "It was the tough part of their lineup and they've seen me a lot in my career.
"Zobrist has a pretty good history against me, so I was just trying to be careful with him and they had another pretty good hitter in Longoria behind him."
A pretty good history? You might say so. Zobrist came to the plate 4-for-5 with two homers and a walk in six plate appearances against Nathan.
"That's why the Rodriguez at-bat was so huge," Nathan said. "I thought I made a good pitch on 3-2. I thought it was going to be enough to get him out and he hits a bullet that almost goes off my elbow.
"Now I'm thinking, 'Crap!' I know what's coming up and I know the numbers. I'm just trying to be careful and make pitches. On 3-1 [to Zobrist] we went backdoor slider [for strike two] and then tried to get him to fish at the backdoor curveball and got the call."
The Rays couldn't believe it. Manager Joe Maddon followed Foster and crew chief Tim Welke off the field, arguing the call all the way.
The Rangers simply got off the field as fast as they could.
"I threw the pitch where I wanted to, he just didn't offer at it like I thought he would," Nathan said. "I think it's safe to say we got a very fortunate call there, but we'll take it. We've had plenty go against us, so we'll take 'em when we get 'em for us.
"Did I draw it up like this for my 300th? No, but like I said, we'll take it."

By Roni Caryn Rabin
Keith Smith was 14 when he was raped by a driver who picked him up after a hockey team meeting. He had hitchhiked home, which is why, for decades, he continued to blame himself for the assault.
When the driver barreled past Hartley's Pork Pies on the outskirts of Providence, R.I., where Mr. Smith had asked to be dropped off, and then past a firehouse, he knew something was wrong.
"I tried to open the car door, but he had rigged the lock," said Mr. Smith, of East Windsor, N.J., now 52. Still, he said, "I had no idea it was going to be a sexual assault."
Even today, years after the disclosure of the still-unfolding child abuse scandal in the Catholic Church and the arrest of a former Pennsylvania State University assistant football coach accused of sexually abusing boys, rape is widely thought of as a crime against women.
Until just a few weeks ago, when the federal government expanded its definition of rape to include a wider range of sexual assaults, national crime statistics on rape included only assaults against women and girls committed by men under a narrow set of circumstances. Now they will also include male victims.
While most experts agree women are raped far more often than men, 1.4 percent of men in a recent national survey said they had been raped at some point. The study, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, found that when rape was defined as oral or anal penetration, one in 71 men said they had been raped or had been the target of attempted rape, usually by a man they knew. (The study did not include men in prison.)
And one in 21 said they had been forced to penetrate an acquaintance or a partner, usually a woman; had been the victim of an attempt to force penetration; or had been made to receive oral sex.
Other estimates have run even higher. A Department of Justice report found that 3 percent of men, or one in 33, had been raped. Some experts believe that one in six men have experienced unwanted sexual contact of some kind as minors.
But for many men, the subject is so discomfiting that it is rarely discussed — virtually taboo, experts say, because of societal notions about masculinity and the idea that men are invulnerable and can take care of themselves.
"We have a cultural blind spot about this," said David Lisak, a clinical psychologist who has done research on interpersonal violence and sexual abuse and is a founding board member of 1in6, an organization that offers information and services to men who had unwanted or abusive sexual experiences as children.
"We recognize that male children are being abused," Dr. Lisak said, "but then when boys cross some kind of threshold somewhere in adolescence and become what we perceive to be men, we no longer want to think about it in this way."
Even when high-profile cases dominate the news, said Mai Fernandez, executive director of the National Center for Victims of Crime advocacy organization in Washington, "attention goes to the things we feel more comfortable talking about — such as whether Penn State had done enough, and what will happen to their football program — and not to the question, 'What do we do to prevent boys from being sexually assaulted?' "
In an interview with The Washington Post this month, Joe Paterno, the Penn State football coach who was fired after the abuse scandal erupted and who died of lung cancer on Sunday, said that when an assistant had told him about witnessing an inappropriate encounter between a young boy and Jerry Sandusky, the former assistant coach who is facing charges of sexual abuse, he had been confused and unsure how to proceed. Mr. Paterno said the assistant "didn't want to get specific. And to be frank with you, I don't know that it would have done any good, because I never heard of, of rape and a man."
Much of the research on the sexual assault of men has focused on prisons. But men are also raped outside of prison, usually by people they know, including acquaintances and intimate partners, but occasionally by complete strangers. They are raped as part of violent, drunken or drug-induced assaults; war crimes; interrogations; antigay bias crimes; and hazing rites for male clubs and organizations, like fraternities, and in the military.

Gainesville hopes to attract flight to New York City
Published: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 2:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 2:26 p.m.
The Gainesville Regional Airport is asking travelers to fill out an online survey about their flight preferences as the airport builds a case for attracting a nonstop route to New York City.
A link to the survey is available at www.FlyGainesville.com.
An average of 70.8 passengers per day fly from Gainesville Regional Airport to New York/Newark through connecting flights, an increase of 13 percent over 2011, the airport said in a news release. LaGuardia Airport is the second most popular final destination from Gainesville, with Miami International being the most popular.
"We are approaching the point of having enough daily New York area passengers to attract new service. But it will still be a challenge to convince airline route planners to give Gainesville a shot given the climate of the air travel industry," said airport CEO Allan Penksa.
"Our community's support of a direct route to New York City is vital to convincing an airline to add service."

Moonlight Rising
ON OCTOBER 21, Kate Rutherford and Madaleine Sorkin free climbed Zion's Moonlight Buttress (5.12d) in a two-day push. Theirs was likely the first redpoint by an all-female team, and the second female ascent of the route after that of Mia Axon—who completed a team free ascent with Topher Donahue in 1995.
First, Rutherford and Sorkin rapped into the route to work a few key pitches and stash bivy gear. During the ascent, Rutherford led the 5.12d crux and Sorkin dispatched the "slot pitch"—5.12 ringlocks in a tight corner. The duo placed all the gear on lead with the second following free.
After topping out, Rutherford and Sorkin rapped to retrieve their bivy gear, and, wearing sombreros to celebrate, passed out chocolate caramels to the aid climbers they passed.
"They were stoked," says Rutherford. "And while we ruined their wilderness experience, at least they laughed."

Here is my story of a small action -- only an "evil stare" to interrupt rape culture. And this story shows how just saying where we work may make a difference. This story appears in my blog. This took place sometime in the mid-1980s while I was giving blood. As I was laying down with the needle in my arm, the male nurse asked me what I did for work. I responded that "I worked for the National Clearinghouse on Martial Rape." I was then surprised when he responded by saying "I practice that every night." Here I was laying down, feeling weak, and I heard this anemic rape joke. So I mustered all the energy I could and made my best effort to give him an evil stare. It seemed to work, as he apologized and we talked about why such jokes are troubling.

• The paint of the Expert Series is pasty, allowing you to work with it using both a brush and a painting knife.
• This acrylic paint contains the highest possible concentration of the purest pigments. This ensures strong and brilliant colours.
• The Expert Series comprises a group of colours with authentic, very exclusive pigments.
• Many of the colours of the Expert Series are single-pigmented. These colours therefore have a maximum purity. When these single-pigmented colours are mixed they produce a 'pure' mix.
• Due to its basis of a 100% acrylic resin the paint has a durable and flexible paint film.
• The acrylic colours of the Expert Series have a uniform degree of sheen. You therefore do not get undesired differences in sheen.
• The original colour of the paint is maintained for at least 100 years under museum conditions. This is due to the highest degree of lightfastness of the colours.

HOUSTON - A driver who was shot and killed crashed into parked cars and a fence in southeast Houston.
Police said the victim was driving a pickup truck when his passenger shot him several times, including once in the head, at 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
According to investigators, the man's truck veered off of Duane Street near Larkspur Street and crashed into two cars before hitting a fence.
Police said the victim may have known his shooter.
"The shooter at one point was inside the vehicle. He exited the vehicle when it came to a stop, proceeded to shoot our victim. The victim was able to drive away two blocks before finally coming to a rest before striking two parked vehicles and a fence," said Christopher Hassig with HPD Homicide.
The man died at the scene. His name was not released.
Police said the gunman escaped. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

2011 An Accountable Year
The first days of the New Year have always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. It's a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on those changes.
There are countless different ways to make resolutions and change.
I would strongly recommend you take time to write a letter to your future self.
Doing this exercise is a very insightful experience. Just imagine writing a letter to yourself based on 1 year from now, then opening it at that exact moment 1 year from now to see how much of it you achieved. Writing your Dear Me letter helps crystallize exactly how you anticipate yourself to become over the next 12 month period.
At the very moment you are writing your letter, your conscious is captured and stored within the words. Upon opening your letter you get to compare your writings with reality. What was really important to you will have been remembered and achieved. The letter lets you see in totality how much things have changed over the past 12 months – in itself this is an intriguing experience. It's interesting to just see how much you have grown/changed since you wrote the letter.
No longer will a Year just drift and unaccountable.
You begin by writing Dear Carey (in my case) and summarising the year that has just past. An honest assessment of how you saw the year through your eyes.
Then select your headings – mine are:
Family Health Work Financial
The writings should be totally written to yourself describing what you want to achieve in your selected headings.
The writing should not be over 2 pages.
Once you have completed your writing sit quietly and read over them a minimum of 5 times.
Then it is time to seal up your letter and either place in a secure area or give your letter to a trusted friend to be handed or posted back at year end.
I know many people who now write a personal letter to themselves every year. It has made a consistent change process for me with a path to follow.
I am more than happy to provide help with your personal letter or to hold any letters in safe keeping.
For more information of goal setting please visit Dwayne Alexander web site at
My best wishes to you for a successful 2011 and beyond.

How to Be a Man... Out in the World
One of the few things you always want in your pack — aside from your camera, snacks, and toilet paper — is a good waterproof shell. The Marmot Exum is super breathable, with water-resistant zippers and armpit vents to keep you cool(er) through the muggy rains you'll encounter lower on the mountain. Plus, it has a moldable wire brim that keeps rain from dripping onto your face, and it weighs only fifteen ounces.
Marmot Exum ($425; marmot.com)
Made out of a spongy, almost neoprene material, these are the most comfortable, durable hiking pants out there. They block wind and most rain, and the material is just thick enough that you can walk through nearly any brush without fear of tearing up your pants — or legs.

I'm not sure why it hit me so hard, but the other day as I was putting together Thursday's newspaper, I was checking dates on the top of each page. Luckily, each page read Aug. 15, 2013, however, it didn't set well with me.
That's right, my friends. Half of August is gone, kaput, absent, missing ... Where did it go?
Why it wasn't that many years ago when August seemed to go on forever — a steamy, hot friend who came and didn't leave until school started after Labor Day. I loved him like one cherishes any free-spirited friend who challenges the norm and kicks caution to the wind. August was the kid who didn't abide by any rules and sucked you into his whimsical ways and mischievous monkey business.
August was the time when our adults pretty much left us alone. Perhaps it was because they were so sick of our antics they couldn't muster the energy to keep us on the straight and narrow for one more day ... or maybe they just knew school was looming in the not-too-distant future and this was going to be our last hurrah. Either way, August was the culmination of our summer, and probably only because we wanted it to, the days drug on and on and on ... We loved it.
We spent countless hours doing everything yet nothing. We played in the fresh water spring in the pasture and made the trek to Big Bureau Creek as often as we could. We laid in the grass and talked ... again about everything yet nothing. We sat on the porch. We rode our bikes on countless adventures. And we completely ignored the new school clothes, the new saddle shoes and the new school supplies, knowing these items were like the enemies that would ultimately fire the bullets that would kill our summertime bliss.
We would spend an enormous amount of time planning our visit to the Bureau County Fair; daily, we counted the money we had saved. We spent hours trying to figure out how much money would be devoted to rides on the Ferris wheel, the tilt-a-whirl and the merry mixer, which each cost only 50 cents back then — long before armbands were even invented. We looked forward to the fair with all the gusto kids from the '60s could muster, and never once, did the academic equation of starting school ever enter into our plans.
After all, August was for daydreaming, lolly-gagging, soaking up every bit of summertime fun with no thoughts of schedules, homework. School was as far away from our youthful minds as it could get, and we liked it that way. We lived in the moment and thought of nothing further than that moment. There was time ... plenty of it.
But then somewhere along the line, some school board member somewhere in the world made the ugly decision to start school in August (probably some board member who never had the chance to study the clouds in an August sky, play in the murky waters of the local creek or ride his bike down a gravel road — destination, unknown). His fellow board members agreed, and the idea of starting school in August spread like a wildfire, ravaging every summer dream in its path.
It was a spark — presumably fueled by adult thinking that focused on getting out of school earlier in the spring; the use of snow days; the lack of air conditioning in schools; and more. Though the excuses were as weak as a kid with a supposed stomach ache on the day of his math test, the motion was made, seconded and passed. School boards across the country jumped on that yellow school bus bandwagon, and now, we are left to wonder where August really went.
The result? August has been interrupted, and I, for one, resent it. Today's kids will never know the wonderful, lingering, hot and steamy, lolly-gagging days of August. But there's no more time. I'm sorry, kids, for your loss ...

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Thrilled with the final product. I included a photo on the back and the colors are stunning. I had questions about adding the photo and sales support was immediate and through. I love the details on the front, the quality is excellent, and arrived on time. Color has more green in it than I thought but still thrilled with the invite."
"This design was just perfect for our dinner. It was pretty and elegant, but casual, and it allowed enough space for all the wording we needed, without looking crowded. I was looking for something that highlighted the couple's names, rather than the dinner itself. We used the space on the back of the postcard for listing the entree options for guests to choose from."
"Great work, just what we wanted. Thanks for offering this beautiful invitation. We were proud to send to friends and family."
"After searching through what seemed thousands of styles and variations of rehearsal dinner invites, I came across Wedding Paper Divas and the style Darling Rustic. It was exactly what I was looking for. Customer service and order printing/delivery were very prompt and the product is exactly as described. Would definitely do business with WPD again and have already recommended the company to friends."
"My fiance and I ordered this card for our rehearsal dinner (in pink) and it was perfect! I asked for some custom wording on the card and the design team perfectly executed what I asked for. The customer service from Wedding Paper Divas is awesome, and we have been more than satisfied with all the products we've ordered for our wedding!"

- Comment: I'm honestly not quite sure at this point. It'll make the most sense, but they'll probably need reformatting and rephrasing and all that. So for now, I don't know. We'll probably move them in time, when we get to the D/P/Pt walkthrough. Or we could have a group of volunteers who'll fix that one. Jäzzi 19:18, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

At some point, the Supreme Hibachi Buffet on Coursey near Sherwood will cease to be referred to as being in the "old Ryan's" restaurant building. But, in the meantime, it's a helpful landmark reference.
What will help Supreme Hibachi become a landmark on its own is the way it's put its own stamp on the place, from the darkly finished doors to new red trim on the outside, to a nicely redone inside.
Expecting to find a still recognizable, glossed-over former Ryan's, we didn't.
Instead, the place was a spacious, well-lit, uncluttered space with a wide swathe of the center devoted to seven gleaming steam tables and cold-food tables.
At one end of the room was a chef preparing fresh sushi and at the other end was a chef at the hibachi station, prepared to grill chicken, beef or eggs, with assorted chopped vegetables ready, at the customer's request.
We found a wide assortment of buffet items.
At the salad table, for instance, in addition to items like the salad greens kept fresh in iced water, there were iced-down boiled shrimp and oysters on the half shell.
The seafood table offered boiled crabs — along with the necessary crab-cracking tools — and boiled crawfish and shrimp.
The dessert table, loaded with sweets, also presented the entertaining spectacle of a chocolate fountain, with marshmallows nearby waiting to be skewered and covered with chocolate.
All of the food looked fresh and mouth-watering.
A buffet wouldn't seem to be the best setting for sushi, which demands freshness, but the ongoing preparation of it, on the spot, seemed to scratch that concern off the list.
There were about 12 different types of sushi rolls available that evening and several types of sashini, slivers of thin, fresh seafood — such as salmon, snapper and artificial crab — resting daintily on small portions of rice.
We would have appreciated descriptions of the different sushi, posted over the counter where they were served, but the strongest sushi fan among us knew the Philadelphia roll when he had it and pronounced the sushi, made with salmon, cream cheese and cucumber, "solid."
In fact, we found all the sushi we tried to have a consistent, good quality.
We had more pluses than minuses on the items we tried.
Getting a thumbs up were the vegetables like roasted potatoes, crisp green beans and plump mushrooms and side dishes including fried rice.
We also liked the Japanese dish teriyaki, grilled chicken with a soy sauce, served on a stick, as well as a number of other Chinese — or Americanized Chinese — dishes, like the sweet and tender, fried "honey chicken" and the mildly spicy, deep-fried General Tso chicken.
And it seems that restaurants can't mess up delicious crab rangoon, deep-fried dumplings filled with cream cheese and bits of crab meat or artificial crab meat.
The grilled salmon I had, topped with a sweet, orange sauce, was a little dry, and the guest who had stuffed crab said it had a fishy flavor she didn't quite take to.
But, overall, the Supreme Hibachi Buffet was a good experience, with a friendly wait staff, and with the wide variety of new items to try on future visits, it's a nice addition for dining-out choices.
The lunchtime buffet costs $6.89, during the week, with a price of $3.99 for children ages 4 to 6 and $4.99 for children 7 to 11. Children under the age of 3 eat free, at any time.
The dinner buffet is $9.99, again with a different break-out for little ones: $4.99 for those 4 to 6 and $5.99 for children 7 to 11.
The buffet price on Sundays, for adults, is $9.99 throughout the day, again, with lower prices for children.

Making weather forecast is possible for a human being by various methods. However if a plant has the capability to make weather forecast, then this is an amazing wonder of Creation.
The lupin plant in Arctic tundras makes weather forecast. In the light of this forecast, if it feels the weather conditions do not permit, it does not sprout but lapses into a kind of sleep under the earth and waits for the clement weather. In certain times of the year, the seeds of this plant needs warm weather to grow. Once the seeds feel the weather is not warm enough, a miracle happens and although the environmental conditions prove to be proper, the seeds do not sprout and, within the frozen earth, waits for the weather to get mild in the frozen earth. When conditions permit, the lupin seeds resume to develop even after a very long sleep. Indeed it is seen that plant seeds found in rock fractures remained there for hundreds of years and they neither got rot nor sprouted.
As it is seen the seed undergoes some changes as if it were aware of the outside conditions. To stress the importance of this subject, let us once again ask the following questions: how does the information of the outside reach the roots? Is it possible for the plant to be aware of the outside, that is, to make weather forecast. A mechanism within the seed informs the seed about the situation. Upon this information the seed abruptly ceases its development as if it received an order. In this case how did this communication system come into being? Did the plant think about this system itself and find it? How did it bring about the technical equipment within its system?
Surely the plant did not discover this system itself. In the genetic code of the seed which exists from the moment the plant first appears, this capability is already coded. It is by means of this genetic code that the lupin has the system which freezes its development when faced with cold weather. It is impossible for the information coding within the plant cell to come into existence all by itself. No matter how long the imaginary development process evolutionists propound may be, and no matter what kind of incidents take place in the meantime, it is impossible for such a system that informs the plant seeds about the weather conditions to have come about by itself. It is Almighty Allah – the One Who holds everything under His sway- Who grants these features to the plant.
