|north twin summit
Date Climbed: May 30, 2015
|Biked/hiked in to the west ridge trail got a late start didn't hit the ridge till about 6 pm. passed a couple groups coming down none had made the summit, I was worried about losing daylight but pushed on and made the summit with the sun starting to set over the San Juans man what a view. Headed back down the ridge and reached the gravel road just as the sun disappeared behind a ridge. I biked back to my car in the dark using a headlamp man that was a blast. All in all great climb!

Date Climbed: May 3, 2014
|Due to ridiculous spring snow accumulation, conditions were just a little too sketchy to even attain the base of the ridge (even with snowshoes). Got rained on HARD for 1.5hrs+ while pushing bikes up the trail which didn't help - snowshoes helped, but eventually proved fruitless due to snow conditions (loose corn below a slippery crust - avy potential high). Couldn't imagine the west ridge being very fun cramponing up, nor backtracking on the way down due to the North Bowl being off limits with avy danger. Will check it out again in a month or two. Super fast downhill MTB on the way out made it a worthwhile trip

|I had my eye on the Twins for several years and finally got the chance to tick one off the list! I must say I was certainly not disappointed! Pushing the bike up the logging roads was a major drag but 3+ hours later the real fun began! The rock quality was superb as expected, and there were myriad route options to choose from. My group reached the summit in just under 6 hours. The downclimb was one of the best I have ever done. A nice glissade down the north face, short walk back to the bikes, and a swift ride down the logging roads. Having the bike for the descent made it more than worth it pushing the dang thing up hill for all those miles! I climbed this one with Brett and his friend Sean. Car to car in a little under 9 hours.

|A wild guess on the date. As described, the rock here is amazing, so gritty that even tiny holds feel very secure. So much so, that I remember my friend and I intentionally going off-route so we'd have an excuse to use the tech gear we carried up. The loggers/mining company people can be very unpleasant on the drive in, don't know what their problem is.

|Ran up Pugh the day before. Arrived at the gate to see maybe 10 cars, all just starting out as well. Even on an exposed rock nose with deadly exposure can you still feel great unroped, everytime you need a hold-it's right there. Descended the North Face with very little snow to meet up with the ridge at about 4,500' & with a bike ride like the one you get on the way back, this may be annual ordeal.

|Excellent climb. It was my first mountain in the Northwest. Couldn't have asked for a better day. Sunny all day and relatively cloudless.
The snow level was very low. Almost all of the snow in the saddle between the summits was gone. Also the snow field on the north face was small. Glissading wasn't possible.
my only regret is that i lost my camera on the trip. i accidently dropped it and it rolled off a ledge

ThermaPod Lunchbox
Most geeks I know, including myself, like to be organized...at least when it comes to food! I like my sandwiches to not be squashed, my chips not broken, and my food not touching. With a bunch of Ziploc bags I can keep my food separate, but trying to jam a bulky brown lunch bag into my briefcase or laptop case always spells doom for my lunch. Not anymore! ThermaPod is the latest in lunchbox technology. With its small laptop-like (which is what caught my attention) form it can easily slip into a briefcase, laptop bag, or backpack. It has four separate, but roomie compartments to store all sorts of lunch items. ThermaPods are freezer safe, microwave safe, and stackable for those of you with larger households or even those who like to prepare their week's lunch in advance. They are also dishwasher safe and super durable. ThermaPods are also healthy for the environment. They are FDA approved and 100% PBA free! Plus with making your own lunches, going green can save you green in this case. Choose from five stylish colors and never worry about squashed lunches again!

The Woods presents "Nunsense"
January 30th, 2014 | SMWC
A comedic spin on a fictional tragedy is the basis for this year's spring musical at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC). The SMWC Music and Theatre Department presents Dan Goggin's 1985 musical comedy, "Nunsense," on Feb. 27 through March 2, 2014, at the Cecilian Auditorium.
"Nunsense" is a musical comedy about the Order of the Little Sisters of Hoboken, once a missionary that ran a leper colony in the south of France. While a group of nuns are out playing a competitive game of bingo with rivals, the Maryknolls, the convent cook Sister Julia (Child-of-God) accidentally poisons fifty-two of the nuns – leaving those who returned from bingo in need to raise money quickly to bury them. With the success of their greeting card company, it seems the surviving nuns have raised enough money to bury each poisoned sister – that is, until the Reverend Mother spends frivolously and they wind up without enough money to inter all of the sisters. In a rush to earn the money wasted, the remaining sisters put on a fundraiser to cover the rest of the funeral costs – and maybe a flat screen T.V.?
"It's a musical comedy that all types of people can relate to and appreciate," states Danielle O'Connor '11, theatre director/productions manager at SMWC. "It may be about Catholic nuns from the East coast, but it's entertaining for people of various backgrounds. What's unique about this production is that it is being produced in a Catholic environment, nearly thirty years after it was written. So all that's happened not only in the world, but also within the microcosm of Catholicism resonates differently in some of the jokes and material. It's great that younger audiences will be able to connect to another generation through this musical via the pop culture references and musical styling."

Our Forefathers Fought For This
Yes, gentlemen, the rumors are true: You can get gay-married in New York! Huzzah!
Like a scene out of Block-Shaped Sluts 6, Snooki and Deena Cortese celebrated the Fourth of July weekend by getting so sloppy Cannoli-shit-hammered, Snooki had to be carried off the beach, again, while Deena raped innocent bystanders using nothing but brute force and strategic belly-flops. Later, she'd grow a big red beard and tell Frodo all about the Mines of Moria and how it'd be safe to travel through them.

How many steps do you walk every day? Do you hit 10,000 steps [1], which experts recommend and is about 5 miles' worth? Do you match the daily walking of a Hadza man or woman [2] (8.3 or 5.5 km/day, respectively)? If you're anything like the average American, you're doing 5,117 steps a day [3], well shy of the 10,000 step mark and flirting dangerously with a formal sedentary classification. But we're not alone (though we're the worst). Of the four industrialized countries studied, not a single one found the mark. The Australians seem to come close, walking 9,695 steps a day. The Swiss follow with 9,650, and the Japanese are a bit further off with 7,168 steps per day. Contrast that with rural South African women [4], of whom just 11.9% can be classified as sedentary (under 5,000 steps a day) and for whom an average day means walking 10,594 steps (many of them done while carrying a load), or Amish aged 18-75 (PDF [5]), who walk an average of 18,425 steps (men) or 14,196 steps (women) each day, and we're all looking pretty darn sedentary.
Do we even need the cold hard statistics to know that we're not walking [6] nearly as much as we should? When I look out the window at 8 AM on a weekday and fail to see hordes of barefoot children walking uphill in knee-deep snow toward school (and uphill again on the way home), I know in my heart that walking is becoming a lost art in this country. But does it have to be like that? I don't think so. Just take a look at a totally-fabricated-but-completely-plausible average daily schedule for an adult with a standard 9 to 5 job:
His alarm blaring (and eyes bleary), Ken Korg [7] rolls out of bed and trudges to the bathroom. That's 16 steps.
After brushing his teeth [8], flossing (if he remembers), and showering, he heads back to the bedroom to get dressed. That's another 16.
From the bedroom to the kitchen to putter around making coffee, grabing some breakfast (bacon [9] and eggs [10] and a bowl of raspberries), and cleaning up is 40 steps.
He kisses his wife, packs his lunch, grabs his gym bag, and heads out the door to his car. That's 50 steps.
He sits in his car for 45 minutes, never moving from the seated position. Zero steps.
He parks the car and walks to the office, which is located 300 yards away. At roughly 2.5 feet per step, that's 360 steps.
He gets up from his desk several times before lunch, to make coffee (30 steps there, 30 back), to use the bathroom (45 steps there, 45 back), and to chat with a coworker (35 steps there, 35 back). That's 220 steps.
For lunch, Ken likes to hit the company gym and eat afterwards at his desk. After walking to the gym (500 steps), he does a basic circuit, including an easy half-mile warmup on the treadmill (1000 steps) and walking to and from various weight stations (500 steps). That's 2500 steps, including the 500 back to the office.
It's 100 steps to an afternoon meeting in an adjacent building, and 100 back. 200 steps.
Ken's off at five o'clock. He pops in to a colleague's office to confirm their dinner date later that week (30 steps), then heads to his car (360 steps), for a total of 390 steps.
He stops by the market for a few things. They're having steaks and grilled asparagus tonight. It's a 100 yard walk from his car to the store (120 steps). Once inside, he wanders around the aisles (1,500 steps) for a bit, pays for his stuff, and returns to the car (120 steps). That's 1,740 steps.
Ken gets home and goes directly to the kitchen to drop off the groceries. That's 45 steps.
He grabs some salt, some pepper, assorted spices, some matches, and heads outside to start the charcoal and prep the steaks and asparagus for grilling. This takes about 80 steps.
After dinner and cleanup (30 steps), Ken and the fam take the dog out for a short, leisurely walk around the neighborhood. They do a mile and a half (3,000 steps), for a total of 3,030 steps.
That's pretty much it for Ken. There's some miscellaneous movement around the house, but nothing crazy. Let's say another 200 steps before bed, for a grand total of 8,887 steps. That's over 3,000 more steps than the average American takes, and in my eyes, that seems like a pretty easy day of walking. Nothing too strenuous, no dedicated lengthy walks or hikes. I may have been a little generous with the step counts, but it's overall a manageable sum for an able-bodied adult, wouldn't you say?
So why aren't we hitting it? Why is the fictional character outdoing the general population? Why are between 25-35% of American adults completely inactive [11], meaning they work sitting down, drive everywhere sitting down, and sit down at home?
The main problem is that modern life isn't made for walking. Though it isn't true for everyone living within its borders, particularly in dense urban centers, the US (and other industrialized nations, increasingly) is a car country. We drive to work. We drive to the grocery store. We drive our kids to school. We drive to a fitness center to go walk around a track or on a treadmill. We drive because everything is spread out. We drive because our cities aren't built with pedestrians in mind, because it isn't always safe to walk. We drive because half the residents in our neighborhood don't see a need for sidewalks and actively resist their construction [12]. We drive because that's just what you do, because "all my friends have their licenses already," because "walking is for poor people." Oh, and we drive because walking is tiring, dude, and the car is right there. In short, we drive because we no longer have to walk. Walking – real walking, for more than twenty or thirty minutes at a time – has become an elective activity.
And we rarely elect it anymore.
That's really too bad, because walking is good for our general wellbeing. It'll help you lose body fat, if you're into that sort of thing, and the age-old bodybuilder trick to lean out is an early morning walk on an empty stomach (supplemented, of course, with stringent dieting, heavy lifting, and smart supplementation). But it's also good for your brain, your fitness, your memory, your longevity, your blood pressure, and your general health. From a previous post, see this short snippet of potential health benefits associated with regular walking to get an idea:
- Kids who walk to school [13] are fitter than peers who do not.
- Older healthy adults who walk briskly live longer [14] than those who don't.
- Healthy adult males who engage in short bouts of brisk walking experience lower resting blood pressure and postprandial triglycerides [15].
- Regular walking improves working memory [16] in older adults.
- Walking improves longevity [17] in women over 70 years of age.
- Walking programs improve cognitive ability [18] in people with Alzheimer's.
So, obviously, walking more is a good thing. That brings me to a challenge. It's a short one – just a week long – but it's important. Crucial, even. And I hope you'll accept it.
I have this niggling feeling that you guys – my whole cow-sourcing [19], veggie-fermenting [20], standup-workstation-constructing [21], type-of-cooking-oil-inquiring Primal readership – still aren't getting in your five hours a week of low-level activity [22]. Are you? Be honest with yourselves. Do you measure up to Ken Korg, the Australians, the Japanese, the Hadza, or the Amish?
Let's take a poll. Be brutally honest.Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
Well? How'd you do?
Not so great, huh?
To rectify this situation and show you what you've been missing, I want you to spend at least one dedicated hour every day (yes, I'm bumping it up a notch) engaging in low-level aerobic activity – walking, cycling, hiking, rowing, swimming, or a mix of all of them. Just log that hour (and more, if you want) every single day. Walking around the mall or grocery store or to and from the bathroom don't count toward your total. This has to be a solid hour of slow moving, preferably unbroken but splitting up the hour into two blocks works, if that's easier.
I also want you to track your results. Remember last week's fasting Q&A, where I mentioned using a logbook and tracking/writing down your results? Do the same thing for this challenge.
As you progress through the week, rank your energy level, mood, general sense of wellbeing each day, restfulness, or sense of productivity from 1-10.
If you're able to, track an objective marker, like blood pressure or waist size. Since this is just a weeklong challenge, these objective measurements may not change much, if at all, but they'll likely start to shift if you stick with the daily regimen.
If you have or want one, a pedometer would be a fun way to get immediate objective results. I guarantee if you get that hour of solid movement in, you'll hit 10,000 steps without a problem.
If you must, walk on a treadmill. Heck, walk around your house like a crazy person. While it'd be ideal to walk outside, preferably purposefully through space and time, say on a wooded path or city street, what we're ultimately after is the basic mechanics of bipedal movement. Lift foot, fall forward, catch your descent with lead foot, lift back foot, repeat. That is the premier Primal human movement pattern for which all of us are well-suited (injuries and preexisting conditions excluded, of course), and which many of us have forsaken – to our detriment.
Let's knock that off. Let's walk (or cycle, or swim) for an hour every day. Can you do that? I'm going to do it. Who's with me?

Thread: Wot films are you watching?
Oblivion (2013). Not actively annoying, but the story seemed told in a very messy way and the happy ending seemed tacked on. Other than that I can't really remember it, except that there were some nice craters.
Doomsday (2008). I hadn't heard about this, but caught some of it on TV last night, so I watched the whole thing today.
I liked it. It has plenty of silly stuff, like cars exploding any time they run into something (even corpses), some plot holes and some unrealistic things, but it's somehow okay, although possibly mainly due to Rhona Mitra. She's quite convincing. The other actors aren't bad either, though.
It did make me wonder once again why bad guys in so many post-apocalyptic movies (and games) have mohawks. I can only assume most script writers have never had to maintain one.
Wild At Heart - Got al lthe Hallmarks of David Lynch definitely, to be honest the first half seemed very aimless and it kind of didn't really recover. One of the reasons I like Lost Highway and Mullohand Drive, and Blue Velvet is the even though its really weird story makes sense and the weird images just fit the tone. The first half just seems to be full of the characters having sex and the really interesting disturbing Hiring of assassins on the side that I really liked because its just vintage Lynch. The second half seems a lot better where it goes seriously weird and just has so many disturbing people and images not all of them seem to make sense like the Cowboy Black dude and his really horrible and strange looking wife. Also it liked to crowbar the Wizard Of Oz references which seemed very unsubtle for Lynch.
Watched Chronicles of Riddick - Director's Cut due to SirKicksalot's mention of it a while back. It's surprisingly different from the theatrical cut, the first half is sort of a complete remix and quite a bit weirder too. I think I probably prefer the theatrical's first half, but it's a close call. The theatrical just seems a bit cleaner in its storytelling and maybe a bit more epic. On the other hand, some things are better explained in the director's cut.
the Worlds End - Very entertaining and funny and very very original got to be one of the best films I have seen this year. I think this was definitely more of an ensemble piece then previous movies have been and all the characters are very funny including Simon Pegg who is very likeable unlikeable. Its choc full of just entertaining jokes and action and even has a sly theme about conformity. Simon Eggs character is quite tragic actually can't help feeling sorry for him as well as disliking him. Nick Frost is something else as the respectable one and all the rest are quite fine as well. The ending is very weird and almost ruins it by saying something that is a bit grating when science fiction does but it was still quite funny and the proceeding movie was so likeable that I didn't mind it. All in all a very boozy recommendation.
Just watched Drive after being told that Hotline Miami takes inspiration from it. Possible one of the best movies I've ever seen. Everything about it is great. My one complaint if I had any was that I felt a bit robbed that you don't get to see Ron Perlmans characters get killed properly like the others."Halo is designed to make the player think "I look like that, I am macho sitting in my undies with my xbox""
Steam ID
Inbred: Well, Inbred certainly isn't going to be everybody's cup of tea. As far as utterly depraved filth goes, it was surprisingly light-hearted (in that there's some pitch-black gallows humor) and I actually even gave a shit about one or two of the characters. The tone is somewhere between Killer Joe, Peter Jackson's Braindead, and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the latter of which it could easily have been a sequel to.

I may well have mentioned it last time I saw it, but Grosse Point Blank was just on the telly again and it remains one of my favourite films ever. It definitely has one of the greatest soundtracks of all time. Dan Akroyd's on top form, too.[RIGHT]
A really weird movie but surprisingly watchable. Usually I don't have enough attention to watch something this long at home but I only paused once to go grab some coffee. Again, surprisingly I liked the non-action stuff most. The action itself is so-so and CGI is kind of bad, still I can't say I wan't entertained.

10-08-2013, 05:44 PM #1552Powered by Steam. And biscuits. I'm also a twit and dabble in creative writing.
I like the part where they're running from the sunlight more than anything in Pitch Black.
Today was the special day, I watched three movies whole, without rewinding or pausing, I don't remember doing that in years. Whats more important, I was entertained, that rarely happens. Here goes two that weren't Riddick, some small spoilers ahead:
1. Star Trek Into Darkness
It was too predictable even for a summer blockbuster. And characters acted kinda stupid. At times I wanted to scream at the screen in frustration. And the whole "starfleet" thing is weird and they act weird. I mean they are in the military, aren't they? But hey, it's Star Trek, I remember from various TNG episodes that Earth military is a bunch of hippies in disarray with no discipline or coherent roe. They usually do whatever and then go explore. And they are not even a military. So who cares if they act stupid, right? Well no, but honestly I can overlook that. Otherwise movie was entertaining but forgettable. And there were some things I consider giant plot holes( like why didn't Eath synthesize a cure for all diseases from the blood of those people? Why?) and some "twists" required viewers stupidity and blindness way beyond suspension of disbelief( like the ressurection... when you have 72 panacea vials on board. But maybe they jsut were afraid of opening tubes in fear of killing them, perhaps. But the thought never even crossed their minds). Still, I never wanted to alt+f4. It was entertaining and acting was ok.
2. Skyfall
Well usually I hate Bond movies. Even though some had good comedy. I kinda dislike the whole formula "Bond drives fast car -> Bond bangs random woman -> Bond kills tons of faceless mooks -> Bond bangs villains gf -> Bond kills villain with ease and a oneliner -> God save the Queen". Just too formularic in my opinion. But this one had surprisingly little jamesbonderry going on. Maybe spoilerish next. So the bad guy( Xavier Bardem acting a spoiled child/creepy depraved bisexual hacker blong villain guy with strange acent) didn't have a spacestation or base on volcano island and his brilliant plan was to just break in and shoot some people. And he succeeded in a way. And then they just shot it out in some remote location. Even though they telegraphed the whole "Old ways are not bad" thing way too much and not subtle at all through the whole movie, I still felt this whole thing was refreshing in a way. Bond going AWOL for three months is not something I'd forgive if he was our spy though.
Also, it's funny how this movie explains that "whistleblowers" who leak secret documents are not entirely harmless. Releasing the documents that may compromise the identities of secret agents is basically condemning them to death in painful ways. Truth in TV.

All this Riddick talk and I had not seen the trailer for the new movie yet.
I watched Elysium yesterday. The similarities with District 9 are obvious, as is the commentary on current American immigration policy. The thing that bugged me about the movie were the jump cuts in fighting scenes. Admittedly, it wasn't as bad as Batman Begins, but it was distracting in the final fight. I enjoyed the movie over all, but there were some minor niggling points that I won't get into here. I'd recommend it to fans of action and/or sci-fi movies, but you're going to need to turn parts of your brain off to fully enjoy it.The Medallion of the Imperial Psychopath, a Napoleon: Total War AAR

Yah, there was a few holes in Elysium, although I imagine were intention and some got cut.
Why do director's feel jump cuts are good movie making? Hire a good choreographer and get your actor's to learn one good fight scene. I did like the 180 cut rotation with the blurred background... but then it went back to hard to follow cuts again. Jodie Foster's role was disappointing... she is only getting headlined due to her history. Its like Morgan Freeman being put on all the Oblivion marketing despite his small role in the movie.
Then again, that film was also terrible beyond belief, so it makes sense that they would heavily advertise the one good thing about it.
Europa Report
I'm a sucker for Hard Science Fiction, and boy, did this movie deliver. I don't think I've ever seen a more realistic depiction deep-space exploration since "A Space Odyssey".
Although there's a main cast of 6 (six!) full people, comparisons to "Moon" will be inevitable - but they'll be justified. The direction, atmosphere and performances are great, conveying the utter desolation and danger of space, but at the same time, ever so slightly, an ambiguous sense of discovery and adventure. Nevertheless, this is essentially a horror movie, but let that not discourage you, silly people who don't like horror movies. There is exactly zero bullshit in this movie, and absolutely no cheap jump scares.
My greatest problem with this movie is that I found the faux-documentary parts to be pretty much redundant, and at times anticlimactic. I would've very much prefered if the movie had actually ended on the last frame, without the Not-Tilda-Swinton CEO lady explaining why the last frame was so significant (not a spoiler, or so I hope). But those sections comprise about 5 out of 90 minutes, so it's a minor complaint.
Anyway: "Europa Report" is, in my humble opinion, the best Science Fiction movie since "Moon". You should watch it.
Good Vibrations
"New York had the haircuts. London had the trousers. We had the reason."
What a great fucking movie. There's no plot to speak of - but it doesn't matter. I challenge anyone - Punk, Square, Hippie, whatever - to go watch this and not leave with a huge fucking grin on their face.
Seriously, "Good Vibrations" is some of the best fun I had at the movies this year. You should watch it.There is no place in this enterprise for a rogue physicist!

dantalian is a transparent file-tagging system using hard links. Tags (which are directories) can be accessed on the file system level (with or without fuse), allowing maximum interoperability with other applications. Tagging operations are performed with scripts, and can also be hooked into other applications. dantalian is file-agnostic and can be used with any and all types of files. Tags can be organized hierarchically and can also be tagged. With (optional) fuse support, dantalian can also create virtual tags (currently limited to tag intersections (AND), but will be expanded later), which can be accessed transparently on the filesystem level.
Pytaf is a test automation framework designed for simplicity and ease of use. Using JSON configuration files, this lightweight, general-purpose test harness can execute any and all Python 3 methods. The driver hands over the configuration to the method and collects the results. Everything in between is open and unrestricted. While there are plenty of test approaches available in Python, sometimes you just want to do your own thing your own way. Pytaf is intended to help you do just that. The Pytaf project does come with sample code showing some ways of using it (including HTTP and Selenium WebDriver tests), as well as a complete README, but you can also make up your own guidelines at will. The only requirement is the format of the JSON configuration file and a (boolean,string) tuple returned to the driver.
RCSSmin is a CSS minifier. The implementation is based on the semantics of the YUI compressor, but aiming for speed instead of maximum compression so that it can be used at runtime rather than during a preprocessing step. rCSSmin does syntactical compression only (removing spaces, comments, and possibly semicolons). It does not provide semantic compression (like removing empty blocks, collapsing redundant properties etc). It does, however, support various CSS hacks (by keeping them working as intended).
pyautomate is a general-purpose CLI automation tool. Unlike other tools, you describe a state machine in a configuration file and use the CLI to go to a certain state. pyautomate will automatically figure out which tasks to run to get to your desired state. The configuration file is a Python 3 module, which allows you to easily and flexibly define your tasks.

MELBOURNE, Fla. – The upset-minded Saint Leo women's tennis team (5-2, 2-2 SSC) continued to play impressive tennis as the team posted a 6-3 win over Sunshine State Conference foe Florida Tech (4-2, 2-1 SSC), Friday afternoon from the Fee Avenue Tennis Courts.
The SSC contest saw Saint Leo grab a 2-1 doubles lead, before upending the Panthers in 4-of-6 singles matches.
The Lions No.12-ranked doubles tandem of Laura Kemkes and Emily Singleton gave the Lions the first an immediate boost as they took down the No.7 team of Katarina Huba and Kristina Huba, 8-4. The Lions No.3 pair of Adrianna Daszkiewicz and Jeanette McDonald followed with an 8-5 defeat of Stephanie Dohner and Monica Price.
Capturing the final two matches of doubles, the Lions rode the momentum into the singles portion as Saint Leo grabbed wins at one, three, four, and five singles. McDonald highlighted the match with a 6-4, 6-0 win over Abey Keister, while Laura Kemkes took down the No.13-ranked Huba in a super tiebreak thriller, 4-6, 6-4, 11-9.
"This is another good confidence boost for the girls today," said Head Coach James Bryce. "We played well in the critical times, but we need to make sure we come out prepared on Saturday."
The Lions will waste no time in returning to the court as they host Rollins in Sunshine State Conference action. First serve is set for 11 a.m. from the Saint Leo Tennis Center.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/2/2013 (1643 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Sometimes a Saturday night at home looks a lot more inviting than going out, especially during the kind of deep freeze we've been having, but getting out of the house during the day doesn't seem quite so intimidating.
Brunch is an attractive (and less expensive) alternative to dinner, but although there are many brunches on Sunday, just try to find one on a Saturday. There are plenty of Asian choices, but the pickings are slim for a more traditional brunch.
One of the few and, fortunately, one of the best, can be found at Mise on both Saturday and Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It's a polished little bijou of a room, with one dark grey wall hung with local artworks, and a wall of windows opposite that overlooks a patio in summer. The ambience is serene and smart, but comfortably casual.
You can have lunch if you wish (another rare Saturday/Sunday find) and I was briefly tempted by the curried chicken salad on cranberry bread, or the Italian sausage with roasted peppers and provolone on a baguette ($15.95 each, including two sides of chips, salad or soup). But it was brunch we were primed for -- a leisurely, sit-down, served-at-table brunch.
The menu isn't huge but the selections, which range in price from $7.95 to $17.95, are elegant and interesting. One terrific choice was the Mise Special Breakfast -- a puff pastry filled with mushrooms, bacon, cheddar and shirred egg yolks, baked under a fragile and beautiful meringue -- which was not only delicious, but so pretty it seemed almost a shame to destroy the structure by digging in.
Another winner was eggs Benedict, the bright yellow yolks perfectly runny, layered with flavourful back bacon, and cloaked in a rich hollandaise that was sheer perfection (there's also a vegetarian version with chimichurri sauce). Tender crepes -- generously filled with salmon, shrimp and scallops and topped by cheddar cheese -- might also have approached perfection if its cream sauce had more flavour.
There are no fruit juices or other la carte items, but most dishes come with a container of fresh, prime fruits. Most are also garnished by what the menu describes as wild rice hash -- erroneously (in our case, at least), since there were only token grains of wild rice among the potatoes, which would have been just as tasty totally on their own.
Other options include a spicy Italian sausage skillet with peppers, zucchini and onions; grilled Atlantic salmon with poached eggs and hollandaise; a New York steak with poached eggs and chimichurri and roasted red pepper purée. More spartan tastes can opt for just two eggs, any style, and, for sweeter teeth, there's fig and star anise French toast topped by sautéed bananas, whipped cream and candied pecans.
Service was attentive to start with, but elusive when the place filled up.
-- -- --
A few blocks down Corydon and you're in another world. Nobody would ever describe Falafel Place as a polished little bijou. Actually it's the very antithesis -- a diner with no decor, and a decibel level that reduces conversation to a shout. Don't expect a leisurely meal -- the place is bustling and perennially packed, and you'd feel guilty if you kept your table while others are waiting for it.
But in its own way it's a gem. You can have brunch from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. any day of the week, and if you can find a time between meals when it isn't full, good luck (I'm not sure there is such a time). But whenever you come the wait won't be long and the food -- part Middle Eastern, part East European, part classic deli -- will be copious, made from scratch and top-notch.
The breakfast platters cost from $6 to $9.50 for two eggs, with either a potato pancake or hash browns (both excellent) and toast. Most are augmented by the meat of your choice, not just the usual bacon, ham or sausage, but also salami, corned beef, tender and flavourful medallions of beef tenderloin, a lightly breaded chicken schnitzel, or (a personal favourite), the garlicky ground turkey burger. There are several kinds of hash -- corned beef, chicken or turkey -- for which the meat, eggs and hash browns are all mixed together (the eggs will be cooked separately if requested).
There are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices as well. The fabulously fluffy (no, that's not an oxymoron) falafel are aromatic with hints of cumin and cilantro, and are served with tahini sauce and velvety hummus (for vegans, with vegetables instead of eggs, i.e. beets, eggplant or kohlrabi, possibly). And the blintzes are simply wonderful, bulging with smooth, vanilla-scented and slightly sweetened cottage cheese, served with jam and a dollop of sour cream.
Many of the items can be ordered la carte or in half portions. The orange and grapefruit juices are freshly squeezed, and there are six varieties of luscious house-made jams, as well as a moderately hot sauce for those who hunger for a dash of heat. And, as busy as the place is, the service is always friendly and phenomenally efficient.

"Fathers in Uppsala and Västerbottens county take out the most parental leave days in Sweden," according to a February 4, 2012 article in Uppsala's newspaper, Uppsala Nya Tidning.
I live in Uppsala and am fascinated by the idea of equal maternity and paternity leave. Since this is just a blog and not a treatise on parent leave, I did just a small amount of research but I thought I might share with you what I learned. I encourage you to find out more on the subject if you're interested.
An April 14, 2011 article in Svenska Dagbladet noted that…
…more fathers are taking parental leave for more days, according to TCO's father Index. Västerbotten tops TCO's List and Uppsala and Jämtland come shortly after. At the bottom is Skåne, Värmland, and Kalmar.
The index is a weighted average of fathers' share of all the selected parent days and the proportion of males of the parental leave. If parents contributed equally to parental leave, the index value would be 100.
TCO's paternity index was launched in 2000 and is based on statistics on parental leave from the National Insurance. A completely equal use of parental leave to this year's growth rate won't be reached for another 31 years, according to TCO."
TCO's paternity index was launched in 2000 and is based on statistics on parental leave from the National Insurance. The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees (Tjänstemännens Centralorganisation, TCO) is a national trade union umbrella organization.
An April 15, 2011 article in The Local wrote that "Young fathers are the least likely to use their parental leave benefits, according to the study, with 35 percent of fathers under 35 not even taking out the month that is reserved for them."
Parental leave in Sweden allows parents to take a total of 480 days off their jobs (per child). This time can be used up until when the child starts school at age seven. Each parent must take at least 60 days off but the rest of the days can be split between the parents in any way they want.
Businesses must have a job for the parent when they return. (Because I am exploring job opportunities, I can attest that I have seen many jobs advertised that are for a limited period and are only temporarily replacing a person on maternity or paternity leave.) The government pays the worker a high percentage of their previous wages while they are on child leave. Technically, s/he should get the same job back when s/he returns but sometimes the company restructures or something and the worker is offered a different job.
Surprisingly, not all fathers take paternity leave. Sture Nordh, chairman of TCO, said in a statement quoted in The Local. "It does make you wonder when parental leave, bonuses, and time earmarked especially for the father is not enough to convince fathers to stay at home with their kids."
But what is this bonus, Nordh is referring to? Well, believe it or not, since there weren't enough fathers tempted to take paid time off from work, the government started offering an incentive to do so. The strange part is that everyone didn't immediately queue up to get the money. "Swedish parents missed out on over 60 million kronor ($ 9.67 million) last year after almost half of couples entitled to the government's gender equity bonus (Jämställdhetsbonus) neglected to apply, according to recent figures from the Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan)," according to The Local.
The Swedish Government's gender equality policy says, among other things that there should be "Equal distribution of unpaid care and household work. Women and men shall take the same responsibility for household work and have the same opportunities to give and receive care on equal terms.
A June 2010 article in the New York Times said…
Companies have come to expect employees to take leave irrespective of gender, and not to penalize fathers at promotion time. Women's paychecks are benefiting and the shift in fathers' roles is perceived as playing a part in lower divorce rates and increasing joint custody of children."
…"Many men no longer want to be identified just by their jobs," said Bengt Westerberg, who long opposed quotas but as deputy prime minister phased in a first month of paternity leave in 1995. "I always thought if we made it easier for women to work, families would eventually choose a more equal division of parental leave by themselves," said Westerberg.
…"Society is a mirror of the family," Mr. Westerberg said. "The only way to achieve equality in society is to achieve equality in the home. Getting fathers to share the parental leave is an essential part of that."
…Introducing "daddy leave" in 1995 had an immediate impact. No father was forced to stay home, but the family lost one month of subsidies if he did not. Soon more than eight in 10 men took leave. The addition of a second nontransferable father month in 2002 only marginally increased the number of men taking leave, but it more than doubled the amount of time they take.
…Clearly, state money proved an incentive — and a strong argument with reluctant bosses.
…The daddy months have left their mark. A study published by the Swedish Institute of Labor Market Policy Evaluation in March [2010] showed, for instance, that a mother's future earnings increase on average 7 percent for every month the father takes leave.

A desperate father whose daughter was "abducted" three years ago has won the right to name and publish pictures of the alleged culprits in the latest stage of his legal battle to get the eight-year-old home.
Safraz Khan has not seen daughter Aamina since August 2011 after he said his ex-wife Humma Dar abducted her from Morden and took her to Pakistan.
He claims the youngster is being hidden by family members who repeatedly fail to co-operate with Pakistani and UK authorities investigating the disappearance.
Continued campaigning from Dr Khan last month saw Justice Peter Jackson make a High Court order stating family members alleged to be involved in the conspiracy can be named and pictured for the first time to help secure her return.
Dr Khan, of Ballards Way, Croydon, said: "I am hoping someone will know the family and will have a guilty conscience and see that this father has been searching for three years.
"I am not being vindictive, I would die for my daughter, and I would do anything possible to get her back."
Dr Khan's ex-wife Dr Dar was living with her family in Camborne Road, Morden, after she divorced Dr Khan in 2008 following an unsuccessful arranged marriage.
Dr Khan won custody, which allowed Dr Dar to only see Aamina three weekends a month.
After agreeing to let Aamina visit her mother for a longer period over the summer holiday, they suddenly disappeared.
Dr Khan, who has since re-married and has another daughter, is desperate for information before Aamina's ninth birthday in July.
He said: "It's like bereavement, but I haven't got a grave or a headstone; she's disappeared from my life.
"I'm surrounded by her possessions – her school uniform, her clothes, and unopened presents."
Dr Khan has travelled to Pakistan five times to find his daughter and spent about £150,000 on the search.
A police report from Lahore in September last year revealed a car owned by Dr Zahid Zaheer, Dr Dar's uncle, containing clothes, books and toys "probably belonging to Dr Humma Dar and her daughter Aamina Khan", were found and seized.
Dr Khan said: "The car was obviously used by the family.
"Police were tracking their movements and have recovered those items from the car."
The report states Munawar Dar, Dr Dar's mother, and Munawar's son Usman Dar first said Dr Dar would appear before the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan.
"When it was adjourned Usman and Munawar visited the police office in Lahore to record statements which "entirely changed their previous version and also denied knowledge regarding whereabouts of minor Aamina Rukayya Khan and Dr Humma Dar."
The report concludes it believes Aamina is in the country but family members refuse to co-operate.
Dr Khan has set up a website as part of the search.
If you have any information, contact Dr Khan on email@example.com.

FDA Targets Antibacterial Soaps, May Finally Submit Triclosan Safety Review This Year
Tiffany Kaiser

Triclosan is found in many household items and may be dangerous
After taking its sweet time, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will make a decision on whether a chemical found in
household antibacterial soaps
is safe or not.
The chemical triclosan, which is found in about 75 percent of liquid antibacterial soaps in the United States, has been in question for quite some time now. Animal studies have shown that it could lead to infertility and early puberty -- and lawmakers and advocates want the FDA to make a decision now.
The case involving triclosan dates back as far as 1972. At that time, Congress passed a law that made the FDA set guidelines for antibacterial chemicals. The FDA published its first tentative set of guidelines in 1978 for the liquid soaps, which said that triclosan was not seen as "safe and effective" due to lack of research proving otherwise.
The FDA made many drafts since then, but none were ever finalized. Hence, triclosan was never removed from household products like antibacterial soap, toothpaste, deodorants, bedding, and even toys.
Last summer, the FDA said the review would be complete by the end of 2012, but that was later pushed to February 2013. We are now in May 2013, and the FDA is being pushed to finalize the review.

The FDA was even threatened with a lawsuit by the nonprofit Natural Resources Defense Council in March of this year.
Right now, the FDA's website states that "the agency does not have evidence that triclosan in antibacterial soaps and body washes provides any benefit over washing with regular soap and water."
In August 2012, researchers at the University of California - Davis and the University of Colorado discovered that triclosan actually
affects muscular strength
in mice, swimming in fish and muscular contractions in skeletal and cardiac cells.
The researchers reached these conclusions by first exposing living mice to doses of triclosan similar to that humans and animals would be in contact with on a daily basis. After 20 minutes of exposure, the mice had a 25 percent drop in heart function. They also had an 18 percent decrease in grip strength after an hour of exposure.
While the removal of triclosan could prove to be a nuisance for many industries, companies like Johnson & Johnson have already vowed to remove triclosan from all adult products by 2015.
There's no exact date planned for the final review by the FDA, but it's expected to come this year -- hopefully.

The accounting & finance sector plays an important role in the UK economy and covers a range of job roles including credit controller, payroll, financial analyst and accountant. The industry is concerned with gathering and utilising financial information and more than two million professionals are employed in areas such as accountancy, banking and insurance. Due to the skills required for the industry, specialist local and nationwide finance recruitment agencies are needed to source the best candidates in the market who are of the highest suitability to their clients.
Salaries in the accounting and finance sector vary depending on the job type but average earnings are around £30K per annum. Recent graduates and entrants into the industry can expect a starting salary of £18K - £22K but gaining the right qualifications and experience can see this rise quickly. Clerical, admin and secretarial recruitment agencies within the public sector, will usually recruit for the lowest salaries, whereas management / executive personnel such as corporate finance executives, can earn £50K+. London and the South East usually offers the best salary and career opportunities, however city locations such as Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds also provide openings into accounting and finance.
When looking to fill accounting / finance jobs, employers will look for candidates with a university degree to a 2:1 level. Numeracy related qualifications are almost essential to enter the sector with courses in financial management, insurance and accounting all being looked upon favourably. Professional qualifications will also be required for many job roles and these tend to be provided by The Association of Certified Accountants (ACCA) and The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).
As well as qualifications, candidates need to have strong analytical skills, attention to detail and be able to work with statistics. An accounting and finance recruitment agency will have the market knowledge and experience necessary to uncover potential staff who carry the qualities to be an asset to their clients.

A £100,000 appeal has been launched to safeguard the future of the oldest club in the Lancashire League.
Supporters of 184-year-old Colne Cricket Club are look- ing to raise the total in just 12 months to guarantee its survival.
Club officials have been working around the clock to revive the outfit's off-field performance, and launched successful summer camps with South African head coach Shadley van Shalkwyk.
But a number of costly break-ins over the past year, dwindling spectator numb-ers, and a historic debt have left the club's future in jeopardy.
An emergency appeal had to be undertaken just this week to find £1,000 to pay an electricity bill, or their Hors- field ground would have been cut off. Club chairman Jane Williamson said "Over the past 12 months we've been building a strong team to take the club forward, and to hopefully save it.
"But the financial posit-ion we inherited is just un-manageable.
"Without making some progress in terms of lower-ing the debt, the club simp-will not be able to cont-inue."
An appeal, called 'Save Our Ground', is being launched today and townsfolk are being asked to donate at least £1 to preserve its fut-ure.
One of the club's main sources of income is the function room in the pav-ilion.
But the management will be reviewing the viability of this at the end of the year.
The appeal website - www.saveourground.com - will go live today.
Offers of help can be made to Jane by calling 07803 726845.

EIGHT people have been arrested this morning following disorder in Burnley last month.
Police launched an investigation after trouble flared in the Burnley Miner's Club, Plumbe Street after the match between Burnley FC and Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, January 18th.
The violence, which is thought to have involved around 40 people, broke out at about 6pm and left a window at the club smashed and other damage. It is not clear whether anyone was seriously hurt The eight men have all been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit violent disorder.
A 54-year-old man from Rochdale, a 52-year-old man from Burnley, a 21-year-old man from Colne, an 18-year-old man from Burnley, a 38-year-old man from Padiham, a 49-year-old man from Nelson, a 17-year-old man from Burnley and a 37-year-old man from Burnley were all arrested.
Searches will take place at their home addresses today.
Chief Supt Chris Bithell, of Burnley Police, said: "The level of violence shown by those involved in this disorder was mindless and obscene and today's arrests show that we are determined not to tolerate thuggish behaviour of this kind linked to football.
"We will continue work hard with both the club and members of the public to identify all of those involved in this disgraceful disorder, and my message to those people is to expect a knock on the door from the police in the near future."
Those arrested will be interviewed during the course of the day.

Poem by Howard Megdal
Golden and Koosman
Cannot compete with Dickey
For scoreless innings
Recap by Pete Barrett
David Wright does not have to hide. Johan Santana took care of that.
In the bottom of the first inning, B.J. Upton chopped a ball down the third base line. Wright took a couple of steps in, then decided to stab at the ball with his barehand. It hit his knuckle. Thats fitting, considering the Mets 37-year-old knuckleballer R.A. Dickey was pitching.
Wright's misplay was scored as a hit, the only one Dickey would allow. If it was not for Santana's masterful no-hitter on June 1st, Wright would be the latest goat keeping the franchise from making history, and throwing their first no-hitter in 50 years of Mets' baseball.
History was made anyway as Dickey eclipsed the former consecutive scoreless innings record holder, Jerry Koosman (31 2/3 innings, 1973) in the 8th inning.
Dickey's knuckle ball was as good as it has been all season long allowing just one run in the complete game. It dipped, dodged, ducked, dove and dodged to a major league leading tenth win.
During his 2nd career one-hitter, the mountain climbing, book writing, ulnar collateral ligament lacking Dickey's lone run was allowed in the 9th inning, ending his franchise record at 32 2/3 scoreless innings.
While the Rays' bats were silenced, the Mets' bats started working. Slumping players Jason Bay, Mike Nickeas, and Andres Torres entered Wednesday's game a combined 0-43, but all singled in Wednesday's victory.
A once-doomed Ike Davis has accumulated two consecutive multiple hit games, and has hit safely in each of his last four.
David Price started for the Rays and struck out eight, but allowed seven earned runs in five innings.
The Mets (34-29) will attempt to sweep the Rays (35-27) at 1:10pm Thursday. Johan Santana (3-3, 2.96 ERA) faces Jeremy Hellickson (4-2, 2.65 ERA.)

Do you remember many games like this the last two years? The last seven? Twelve?
How many times do you think the Rangers have come across a game like that, with so much snarl from the start, and not only won it, but seemed to get more fired up the nastier it got? Seriously.
How often did that happen with guys like Gomez, Redden, Brashear, Lisin, Kotalik, Higgins, Jokinen in the lineup? Not to mention, perhaps unfairly, Drury and Prospal and Rozsival?
Here's another question: How much do you love the way this team plays hockey?
A few thoughts:
1) Dan Girardi had a very strong game, but that 3-on-1 with him sliding on the ice … I know, he didn't have much chance of breaking that one up. It's just that it seems no Rangers defenseman ever stops the pass across with that sliding backward move on a 2-on-1 or 3-on-1. Right?
2) The guys on TV read my mind as I was thinking, this Rangers team sends out four lines, and every one of them makes you think something positive might happen.
3) The Step-child seems to be over his early jitters, doesn't he. Looks like he belongs in the NHL to me.
4) Derek Boogaard is starting to change my mind a little bit. Just a little bit. But he's been able to arrive and deliver some hits. Now he needs to get in more people's faces in scrums around the net, you know, be a little bit of a bully. Because, really, you can count on one hand the number of guys who want to fight him.
5) Nobody does promos like MSG Network. My gosh, do they ever, ever end? My favorite might be the one with "Raymond Felton leads the Knicks against his former team." My initial reaction: Who?
6) The vicious cycle: Sean Avery can't be Sean Avery getting this kind of minutes. But if he isn't Sean Avery, he won't get more minutes. Catch-16.
7) Martin Biron=5 wins. All goalies not named Lundqvist all of last season=3 wins.
