Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2013
|Hot day for a solo climb but it was beautiful. However, I think there was at least 50 false summits on this one :) Every time I got to the top something was a little higher a little further away. It almost got comical,... almost.

|North Ridge Route
Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2012
|Started just north of Stergen Meadows at the head of Arizona Creek. Hiked directly up a slope to reach a ridge line, then traversed up mostly open country towards the North Summit. Walked the summit ridge to reach the South Summit. Sunny and warm. Enjoyed reading the summit registry and recognizing so many names from SummitPost.

|followed the north ridge route which worked quite well. No snow left even is early in the year. Barely dodged some storms. The road up to 6000 feet is not too bad but you are a long way from anywhere if something happens

|West Side
|We drove up Arizona Creek and left the truck on the NW side of Pueblo (near Stergen Meadows). We hiked the road till it dipped and we headed up the west slope. Had lunch on top. Friends moved the truck and we descended the NE side to Catlow Creek. I remember the descent as not much fun.

|I parked my car at the 4300' level on the Arizona Creek road and packed up to the top of Pueblo Mountain via the north ridge. I descended to Ten Cent Meadow and camped below the West Pueblo Ridge then ascended West Pueblo the next day. Amazing views!

|Summit 7 of 9
Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2010
|My favorite mountain of the trip and our highest peak. Parked at 6000 feet and walked around the bend. Took the line of sight route to the peak on the steep Northwest flank. It was tough on the heels, but worth it for the speed.
Note the road is not all that great once you get beyond the fork at 5400 feet. Almost worth walking from there because, if you are like us, you'll be traveling the road at 3-4 MPH max (to save your tires).
I love the summit, and wish we could have done Little Cottonwood-Modesto on the other side of the canyon. Next trip I suppose. Happy trails and have fun summiting.

Date Climbed: May 5, 2010
|North ridge from the gate. Explored the road on towards Ten Cent but it was boggy enough to warrant not risking getting stuck. I was on my own and no-one but no-one comes this way.
Clear ground to the saddle beyond the first bump in the ridge, then climbed mostly snow slopes to the false summits and the real one beyond.
Snow showers and increasing wind throughout. The summit was bitterly cold; my fingers froze in seconds when I took my gloves off for photos. Good views of W Pueblo between snow squalls. Couldn't find a summit register.
Descending I dropped directly down snow slopes from the first false summit to an old road I could see below; runs parallel and to the west of the N ridge. It joined the Ten Cent road and I walked back to the car on it - round the foot of the ridge.
Finally a word about "that" road. I didn't find it too bad going up. However, going down, debris or simply the angle of the road tipped the truck over towards the drop off on a number of occasions. Probably wasn't that bad but it felt alarming at the time. Just something to be ready for.

Date Climbed: Aug 16, 2009
|Pat and I drove up Arizona Creek to the high point in the road (7,000 ft) on the west side of Pueblo. There is a major bog just beyond this that I didn't want to get stuck in. Camped and made the climb to the col just north of the summit, then up ridge to summit. Antelope on top ... hot day. Total round trip from camp 3 1/2 hours.

Date Climbed: May 23, 2009
|Bob Bolton and I made our way up from the west side. Great mountain but the road that leads to Ten Cent Meadow area is not one I will ever repeat. One section of about a mile is narrow with big drops and no place exists to pass another vehicle coming the other way.However, the Ten Cent Meadow area and scenery in this area is spectacular. Beautiful area.

Deceit, betrayal, and revenge—assisted by magic potions—drive the drama in this final instalment of Siegfried's journey. Do you need to brush up on your Ring Cycle knowledge or simply want to learn more about our upcoming production? Here are Nine Things About Götterdämmerung!
Wagner's Far-reaching influence
Richard Wagner (1813–1883) is without a doubt one of the most important and controversial artists in human history. His influence extends far beyond music and has touched all aspects of modern culture, from literature, poetry, fine arts, and cinema, to literary theory, politics, philosophy, and more. Renowned music critic Andrew Porter has claimed that "No artist has been more influential than Wagner."
Der Ring des Nibelungen, Wagner's massive cycle comprising four interconnected operas, took approximately 26 years to compose. Music critic Alex Ross has pointed out that the Ring's entire score is "more than two thousand printed pages [and if the music were played from beginning to end] would last from morning until midnight… arguably, the most ambitious work of art ever attempted." The COC opened its opera house, the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, with the Ring Cycle in 2006 and more recently presented three of the Ring's four operas over consecutive seasons: Die Walküre (2015), Siegfried (2016), and Götterdämmerung (2017).
In Götterdämmerung, which translates to "Twilight of the Gods," the multi-generational epic that began with Wotan's theft of a magic ring—precipitating a curse and prophesy of doom—comes to a stunning resolution that sees the world of gods and humans falling to the flames of destruction. Yet the end is also the beginning, as the opera leaves open the possibility of rebirth and renewal, and perhaps a better world to be remade from the debris of our faults.
In one sense, Wagner wrote his Ring Cycle "backwards," starting with the end of Götterdämmerung and elaborating the events that took place before its conclusion. Once he had the text of the narrative written, he began to compose the music going "forwards." Yet the process wasn't as linear or simple as the music fitting to an unchanging textual mould. Over time—more than two decades of work—Wagner's philosophical outlook, musical style, and worldview all went through significant, sometimes intense, changes; the text was altered and revised, reduced and expanded, revised again, becoming layered with the accumulated history of a shifting psyche and an evolving personal and political consciousness. Most notably Wagner experimented with many variations on Götterdämmerung's ending, which ran the gamut from uplifting optimism, in its initial incarnation, to later expressions of resigned fatalism. Ultimately he settled on an option of rich ambiguity, prioritizing musical expression over any definitive textual summation: "[Understanding the opera's conclusion] is more a matter of feeling than of subtle arguments… I have once again realized how much of the work's meaning is made clear only by the music."
Götterdämmerung features some of the most complex and riveting music in the operatic repertoire, including Siegfried's "Funeral March"—an orchestral showcase which offers a musical retrospective of the Ring itself—as well as Brünnhilde's famous "Immolation" scene, a powerful aria in which she restores order to the world and joins Siegfried on his burning pyre in an act of profound sacrifice.
A debut for Johannes Debus
With this production, COC Music Director Johannes Debus conducts his first Götterdämmerung. During our recent multi-season exploration of the Ring Cycle, Debus has been at the podium for both Die Walküre and Siegfried, earning extensive acclaim for his work. "A piece like Götterdämmerung is far more universal than I expected. That's the thing that surprised me. We all know that Wagner was highly interested in Greek tragedy. And that's what he goes back to—those really elementary everlasting human questions. At the end of the opera, as depressing as it has been, you can see a sign, I think, that says, 'Hope. …'"
Director Tim Albery's vision for Götterdämmerung was first presented by the COC in winter 2006, and then in fall 2006 as part of the company's full Ring Cycle. It has been called "as stunning a feat of staging as [has been] seen in Toronto" (National Post), with critics singling out that "the great virtue of Albery's production is the urgency and absolutely clarity of the storytelling" (Opera News), while also noting the presentation as a whole represents "the COC's proudest hour" (Globe and Mail).
The production designer Michael Levine worked on all four COC Ring operas, acting as a unifying architect of the cycle and giving it a coherent visual progression from opera to opera. He sets Götterdämmerung in a world that is recognizably ours, sleekly corporate and computerized, with business suits and modern dress. Yet the use of space and shadow, the dramatic lighting by designer David Finn, also produces an undercurrent of strangeness, as if this is a world that touches ours but simultaneously remains of another realm entirely.

Our production of The Magic Flute has officially begun, so we asked some of the opera's stars to tell us about their memories of this masterpiece. Click here if you missed the first part of this two-part blog exclusive!
Kirsten MacKinnon – Pamina
"The Magic Flute was my very first opera. I sang as one of the three spirits with Vancouver Opera when I was 10 years old and had a blast. I can't believe what a dream it is that the very next time I get to perform The Magic Flute, it's with the COC and I'm now singing Pamina. I've always loved Mozart (he and I are pretty tight) but The Magic Flute is particularly special to me since it's the first opera I ever performed. Pamina is a pleasure to sing. Who wouldn't want to play a princess?
"Flute is a favourite not only because of the music. The characters really make the show. I'd go for Papageno alone. He can be such a quirky weirdo and I completely dig it!"
Ambur Braid – Queen of the Night
"I first heard some of The Magic Flute in the movie Amadeus and it was captivating.
"Deep down, The Magic Flute is a very spiritual and human story about being a better individual in a crazy world. It's filled with advice like 'be steadfast, be patient, be silent' and opens with a large snake going after Tamino, the image most connected to achieving a higher state of consciousness. It's about self-improvement and morals. Who doesn't want their kids to learn about this stuff?!
"There's something for everyone in The Magic Flute. You can laugh, cry, and maybe even change the world.
"Villains are appealing and the Queen of the Night is an incredible lady. Yes, she has some pretty famous high notes, but she's a woman who is obsessed with power and that can be pretty ugly. We all have that desire inside of us, so it's nice to play the dark characters to keep it in check. Mwa ha ha!"
Joshua Hopkins – Papageno
"The first time I saw The Magic Flute I was transported. It was only the third live
opera I had ever seen and I was lucky enough to watch my wife (then
girlfriend) sing Second Lady in a Toronto-based young artist summer
program. The production was set in, of all things, the Star Trek universe. Papageno's character
was recast as Data, from the series Star
Trek: The Next Generation, which I watched religiously growing up. I
thought the concept really worked!
"Alongside some of Mozart's most glorious and
tuneful music, the story is entertaining and enchanting. It is a
fairy-tale that speaks to all ages, having characters to whom the audience can
relate, like the character I play, Papageno, and his long-lost love, Pagagena, who keep the story grounded. The opera has adventure in foreign lands, the
search for true love and plenty of laughs making it perfect for young audiences
and first-time opera-goers.
"I love so many aspects
of playing the role of Papageno. He is the only character in the opera who
steadily 'breaks the fourth wall' and directly communicates with the
audience. In most of the roles I sing in opera, I don't normally get
scenes with dialogue so I relish the chance to exercise my acting chops and
find my own comedic timing. Despite having performed in six different
productions throughout my career, this is actually the first in which I will be
speaking the dialogue in German!"
"I first saw The Magic Flute performed at the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb while I was still in high school. I remember I admired the Queen of the Night and her fantastic arias, but didn't pay that much attention to Sarastro. Some years later, when I was student of opera studies at the University of Zagreb, I sang my first Sarastro ever in the same production and was brought full circle.
"The Magic Flute is like mille-feuille; it has a bit of everything for everyone. There is a fantastical side, where human beings talk to the animals and dragons; there are a few love stories; there is a huge story about the relationship between children and parents; and at least one, if not more, philosophical clashes. All of that through the stories of Papagena and Papageno, Pamina and Tamino, and the Queen of the Night and Sarastro. Mozart's music gives body and soul to Schikaneder's libretto. Almost every character has a hit aria, and all of these arias are different from each other; one cannot be bored listening to this opera. The frame-story of Papagena and Papageno and Pamina and Tamino are so popular, especially among young audiences, because they can relate to them and Mozart's marvelous music, with ear-worm arias delivering those stories in a super interesting way. There are so many well-connected layers in this opera.
"Sometimes the ambivalence of the characters to the Queen of the Night and Sarastro drives me crazy. I've sung this role so many times in different productions and I still don't have a clue who's positive and who's negative towards them. Every production gives me new answers to that question.
"I'm so sad that the Queen of the Night and Sarastro don't have a duet. Can you imagine what it would be like to listen to the two most extreme human voices, a coloratura soprano and a dark bass, clashing in a musical way? I hope one day some composer will add that number to this opera and I hope Wolfgang won't be mad."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - If you drive across the Mathews Bridge, you are driving across nearly 60 years of history. The bridge was originally built in April of 1953. Saturday people from across the area came to celebrate, even people who were there when the bridge first opened.
The ribbon snapped Saturday, celebrating the 60th anniversary of Mathews Bridge, looked much like the one celebrating it's grand opening.
In April 1953 Jacksonville celebrated the brand new bridge with a parade. And they did the same this time, with the same queen who led the parade 60 years ago.
"We rode over the bridge you know and we thought we were big somebody's you know," says Frances Padgett. "But it was fun it was fun and we did the same thing while ago and it was so much fun!"
"We used to have to go down Atlantic Boulevard for me to go to Western Electric, which I worked for 22 years," Padgett recalls. "And everybody that moved to Arlington rode with me. I had a convertible. We put the top down even when it was freezing, but we turned the heat up. And then they got the bridge up and they shortened the time less than half."
SLIDESHOW: History in photos
Saturday people took a chance to walk across the bridge the usually only see in their vehicles.
"It's fun it's really cool cause when you're driving it's a lot different so you actually get to see what you're doing," says Donovan Geloghegan.
Named after State Sen. John E. Mathews, a ride across the bridge used to cost drivers 15 cents.
When the Mathews bridge first opened it was called a "bridge to nowhere." Sixty years later, things have changed.
Steve Matchett, president of Old Arlington Incorporated says, "Immediately all the town and country shopping center gets cleared and developed literally hundreds of subdivisions homes and subdivisions popping up all over Arlington."
And as they celebrate 60 years of the bridge that made it possible, organizers are looking forward to many more years of growth.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/3/2013 (1621 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The oldest tourist destinations in the world are natural attractions -- mountains, hot springs, waterfalls. One of the oldest in Quebec is Montmorency Falls east of Quebec City, which attracted sightseers from among Canada's aboriginal nations long before the first European explorer, Jacques Cartier, arrived in 1534.
At 82 metres high, the falls are 30 metres taller than Niagara Falls, although they are much narrower and therefore don't have the same panoramic quality. The remarkable thing about them is they give birth every winter to an offspring that is a natural attraction -- a little mountain of snow and ice at the base of the falls known as the Pain de sucre, or Sugarloaf. Prominent painters of the 19th century paid homage to it, mostly notably Cornelius Krieghoff in 1853 with his oil painting, The Ice Cone at the Falls of Montmorency near Quebec.
The little mountain takes shape every winter as mist from the crashing waterfall rises into the air, crystallizes, then falls again as ice or snow on the frozen bay at the base of the falls. Provided temperatures remain consistently below zero (as is normally the case in winter in Quebec City, unlike the more balmy Niagara Falls, Ont.), the little mountain rises steadily in height throughout January and February, especially after a fresh snowfall.
Eventually, it comes to resemble a giant sugarloaf, the name derived from the conical shape of the loaf form in which sugar was sold until the late 19th century before it was sold in granular form or small cubes.
Krieghoff's tribute to the Pain de sucre shows happy habitants playing on it in winter and riding around the frozen bay in horse-drawn carriages. With global warming, though, dangers have set in. Six years ago, a woman fell into a small crevice near the top of the cone and broke her leg.
Access was closed after that, opening again only three years ago on a more restricted basis. Now, people are only allowed to walk around the base of the ice cone except during Montmorency Falls' annual Féerie hivernale in February.
When I visited with my family Feb. 1, there was no access allowed to the base of the sugarloaf. An exceptional warm spell in January meant there had been no significant growth in the little mountain. Also, the bay itself had not frozen over, which was unusual. But weather conditions changed and full access to the Pain de sucre and tobogganing resumed.
On other winter weekends, access to the base of the sugarloaf is permitted only when ice thickness, which is carefully tested for safety, exceeds a certain threshold. But even when ice thickness is insufficient, Montmorency is still worth a visit in winter. The pedestrian suspension bridge above the falls, linking the west bank of the Montmorency River to the east bank, is open year-round. By comparison, there is no bridge above Niagara Falls.
Standing in the middle of the suspension bridge, looking directly down at the cascading waters of the Montmorency River, visitors can sense the enormous power of these falls. Canada's first electricity-generating station was built at the falls in 1886. Once opened, it powered the first area to receive electrical lighting in this country -- Dufferin Terrace behind the Chateau Frontenac.
Although the generating station closed in 1964, there's another historic building on the cliff beside the falls. Kent House, originally known as Haldimand House, was built in 1780 for Frederick Haldimand, governor of Quebec during the American Revolution. The Sunday brunch at Kent House, which I savoured a couple of years ago, is highly recommended, like the rest of Montmorency Falls.

More than 70 residents of Dry Ridge-Mt. Zion Road and surrounding areas do not want an outdoor event venue for a neighbor.
These residents have signed a petition asking the Grant County Board of Adjustments to deny a request by Larry and Mary Creekmore granting a conditional use permit to operate the venue on property they own at 242 Boltz Lake Road in Dry Ridge.
Mary Creekmore doesn't understand why the community wouldn't welcome an event facility that could showcase the beauty of the area and bring business to local hotels and restaurants.

xantha - Monday, March 17, 2008 - linkJust to add what was already mentioned in the article - gaming notebooks in Australia are more affordable than many may realise if you are using salary sacrifice. This is where the cost of the laptop is taken out of your pay prior to tax being calculated - effectively reducing the cost of the laptop by 40%.
In addition you dont have to pay the GST portion so thats another 10%.
So the $4000 laptop now becomes $3636 without the GST - of which you were going to be losing $1454 to the government even if you didn't buy anything. Making the laptop only $2184...god I love our tax laws sometimes :D
Stas - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - linkMore improvements for $4K laptops... Too bad I couldn't care less. Reply
SilthDraeth - Tuesday, November 20, 2007 - linkWhy don't you compare this head to head against a ATI mobility 2600XT? Instead you compare it only to other Nvidia mobile cards, and then tell us it's better than ATI. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, November 20, 2007 - linkProbably because I don't have one to compare it against? I don't even have the 8800M laptop right now - I tried to make it clear that those preliminary results are straight from NVIDIA; I'm waiting for a laptop still.
That said, X2600 XT and 8600 GTS are relatively close in performance on the desktop, and there's no reason placing should change on laptops. Similarly, there's a huge gulf in performance between 8600 GTS / 2600 XT and the 8800 GT, which we should also see on the mobile side. Reply
SilthDraeth - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - linkSorry Jared. I went and posted without fully reading the article.
Inkjammer - Tuesday, November 20, 2007 - linkThe 15.4" laptop is the Alienware m15X that's been leaked from Alienware's newest ad campaign. The estimated date of release was supposed to be November 19th, but they didn't get up yesterday.
Alienware announced a new 15.4 and 17" gaming laptop, one with the 8800m, the other an SLI Santa Rosa update for the m9750. Initial news of it broke out on www.notebookreview.com. Reply
her34 - Monday, November 19, 2007 - link
we were told the 8800M GTX sitting idle at the Windows desktop consumes 4.7W... While the idle power consumption isn't particularly high, the fact of the matter is that battery life is extremely important for many laptop users, and battery life will still suffer compared to IGP laptop offerings.
what is the idle power consumption of igp like intel? Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, November 19, 2007 - linkAs it's part of the NB, it's not really possibly to pull out a separate power figure. Generally, the IGP Northbridge chips don't use much more power at idle than the regular non-IGP NB chips, so IGP at idle is almost "free" graphics. I'd guess that total IGP power use at idle is around 1W, maybe. Reply
Lonyo - Tuesday, November 20, 2007 - linkIs there any news of new ATi mobile chips? I would assume with the move to 55nm they c ould get reasonable performance in a mobile package.
Also, as asked earlier, how do you post a new comment instead of a reply? Reply
fus3d - Saturday, November 24, 2007 - linkATI probably will release a rv670 mobile equivalent. Reply
smn198 - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - linkTry the "Post comment" link at the top of the comments. Reply
GhandiInstinct - Monday, November 19, 2007 - linkIs not DX10 so take that off your list of DX10 games. Reply
Pirks - Monday, November 19, 2007 - linkPC version has DX10/Antialiasing option in its video settings, hence it is a DX10 game. Reply
crimson117 - Monday, November 19, 2007 - linkTypo on first page:
"with per-orders starting shortly"
should be
"with pre-orders starting shortly Reply
gerf - Monday, November 19, 2007 - linkI like my 8600m GT. Good battery life: 5 hours with 85Whr battery, 1.6GHz c2d, and I've been able to play any game I care for. The Crysis demo was ok if I turned off AA, at 1200x600 and medium settings. Reply
SilthDraeth - Tuesday, November 20, 2007 - linkHow do you post your own new comment? Everything looks screwy with the new layout.
gerf - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - linkI posted before the new layout. So I dunno.
Anyway, I'd been using integrated graphics for 2 years, and a GF3 Ti500 before that, so I'm basically easily pleased with a new higher-end card, especially in a laptop. Reply
ttnuagadam - Monday, November 19, 2007 - linkyou must have had the shadows on low right? i have a 8600m gt and a 2.2ghs c2d (t7500) and even have my GPU/vram overclocked from 475/400 to 625/525 (pretty crazy for a laptop!) and at settings lower than the ones you mentioned i rarely ever get over 20 fps in crysis.
overclocked its juuuust right for Bioshock at 720p with everything on (drops in the low 20's sometimes)
kinda sucks that these 8800m's are about to come out, i just bought my laptop less than a month ago. 8600m gt is a little slower than i would have liked, though overclocking it puts it in a decent sweet spot (UE3 games at 720p). my jaw dropped when i saw how well the gpu overclocks, i went from 3400 in 3dmark 06 to 4400, which is pretty close to the 8700m.

Inspired by Griffin's Hatch Chile Lime Wings, I used his recipe as a base for some of my own this past weekend. I couldn't find any Hatch or Anaheim chiles so I had to make do with 3 poblanos I bought Thursday afternoon.
I picked up a chuck roast when I bought the peppers, and since the grill was already burning I split it and had chuck steak for dinner.
It had a really good flavor and had hardly any tough bits.
The original plan was to grill the wings Friday night but they got pushed back to Saturday lunch, when I grilled them over direct coals on the 26" Weber kettle.
We really enjoyed them; they weren't overly spicy but had a nice citrus touch and even Mrs. Chicken ate 4 or 5, which is saying something!

For redundancy (see caveat), I use the Toshiba Canvio 1TB which does a good job as well. Caveat: I have read that ALL external HDs fail sooner or later and my LaCie failed after 23 months. Fortunately, there was a 24 month warranty and the company replaced the unit without hassle. It has been functioning now for 11 months without problems. Each of our computers has El Capitan (OS X, version 10.11.1) and we use Time Machine with both HDs. Good luck.

David Brin: Conservatives keep pushing fairy tales about taxes and job creation
Why should Mitt Romney and the fabled "one-percent" pay only a 15% marginal tax on investment income … half the rate charged to a dentist or auto mechanic on wages earned from work? This was not the case until recent Republican Congresses slashed taxes on passive, unearned dividends and capital gains.
The rationale for that immense tax cut for (mostly) rich investors was simple and alluring – that super-low rates would entice more of the rich to invest in companies within the U.S., helping them to increase their productive capacity and hire more workers. Moreover, the resulting boom in economic activity would then result in so much new tax revenue, even at low rates, that deficits would disappear.
Let's put this in context with a term you may have heard. "Supply side" economic theory maintained that this flow of investment capital would pump up the factory end of things, increasing the supply of goods and services, offering them cheaper, thus stimulating demand.
In contrast, the standard Keynsian "demand side" model was to fight recession by ensuring that poor and middle class folks had enough cash ("high-velocity" money) in their pockets to buy – or "demand" – goods and services. Whereupon producers would be drawn into greater production.
For a more detailed description of the differences between these two economic models, see my earlier missive A Primer on Supply-Side vs Demand-Side Economics. (It really is one of the top issues of our day and an informed citizen should know about it.) Here in this place, I'll try to be brief.
Once upon a time…
Who was right? Blatantly, the Keynsian approach worked in the 1940s, when massive government spending on WWII resulted in a boom that ended the Great Depression. A boom that then continued for 30 years, till Vietnam crushed it against a wall. Throughout that period, high tax rates and stimulative spending seemed to work, whenever the economy needed a little help. Moreover, during that era, a very flat social structure – (CEOs earned only a few times what factory workers did) – combined with the most rapid growth of the middle class and the most vibrant era of startup capitalism in human history.
That does not make Keynsianism perfect! Critics like Friedrich Hayek, have indeed exposed some faults and blunders that later Keynsians, like Paul Krugman, openly admit and have striven to correct. Still, the Demand Side approach can point to many clearcut successes.
In particular, it is plain that during recessions, when economic activity lags and deflation looms, what you want is "high velocity" money in circulation – money that will pass from buyer to seller and then to another seller and so on. Not money that just sits.
Does Supply Side have a similar track record? Not even remotely. Not even once. Simple charts – and hard conclusions from the Congressional Research Service – show that the Supply Side assertion was… and is… utter mythology. None of its predicted effects ever happened. And let me reiterate. Not ever, even once.
Specifically, cuts in tax rates for dividends and capital gains have never had any long-term effects upon capital investment, since records were kept in the United States. (See this cogent article putting the myth to rest, once and for all. Also my article: A Primer on Supply-Side vs. Demand-Side Economics.)

Did you know?
The Venda language uses the Latin alphabet of the Lemba tribe.
Venda traditions go back to the great walled settlements found in Limpopo province and Zimbabwe.
The Venda people were one of the last African groups to migrate south of the Limpopo River. When they moved to present day South Africa they found a bountiful area, which they named Venda (pleasant place) and settled there.
Their local history began in the valleys and mountains of Limpopo, where their forebears established a great civilisation centred around Mapungubwe. Though ruled by kings, the position of women in Venda culture is unusual in Africa in that they are encouraged to occupy senior positions in society.
Children and the elderly in the tribe have their own role to play. This is linked to Venda beliefs in ancestors, who are involved in their daily lives. Having just joined the earthly plane, children are still close to the ancestors. The elderly are also close to the ancestors because they will soon join the spiritual realm in death.
The king in Venda traditions is seen as a living ancestor, which guarantees him devotion and respect. He even has his own language, further suggesting his divinity.
There are many sacred sites in Limpopo where the Venda go to communicate with their ancestors. Lake Fundudzi, high in the Soutspansberg Mountains, is one of the most esteemed as it is believed this is where the White Python − the god of fertility − and other mystical water sprites (zwidutwane) live. There are a number of rituals and traditions involved in the interaction between the Venda people and the spirits of Lake Fundudzi.
What really sets the Venda apart from other groups in South Africa is the role of art in the community. Artists are called by the spirit world through unusual dreams and visions to fulfill their destinies, giving their work a supernatural energy. This places them on the same social plane as a traditional healer.

I am retiring in a year. So I am a little too far out to apply for jobs that don't require huge security clearances, or have really long hiring processes.
Here's our selection ideas so far, I have it broken into 3 tiers.
Best fit:
* Alaska, but selectivly so: Bristol Bay, SE, Valdez, Tok, Copper Center/Glennallen and Kenai. No Anchorage and no Fairbanks. Right now I am an Alaska resident so it's an easy no wait hunting oppertunity.
* Top 2/3rds of Wyoming (as I am a Fremont native), parents live in Wyoming and I grew up there mostly so it's an easy fit, probably hunt cow elk and doe antelope as a non resident next year.
* Western Montana (as I graduated high school in SW Montana). Go Wardens! Easy fit lots of family in SW Montana. And can still hunt Wyoming as a non-resident.
2nd Tier
Northern Idaho
NE Washington state
Alpine, Texas area; with the thought I could have a low fence lease for Aoudad, javelina, mule deer and whitetails
New Mexico other than the big cities, because you can buy land owner tags, and if you were in SE New Mexico you could have a west Texas lease like above.
3rd Tier
Arizona other than Pheonix and Tuscon
Utah other than Salt Lick
Colorado other than the Denver I-25 coridor.
Nevada other than Reno or Vegas.
Northern California, could have a deer and wild pig lease.
Texas Hill Country, could have a hunting lease.
Western North and South Dakota
My thoughts are I already buy points in Nevada, Arizona and Utah for everything and hunting there is super limited, so while they are nice places to live I plan on using my points wisely in those 3 states.

14-year-old Kerie and 18-year-old Emily have lived in and out of foster care most of their lives. Right now, they don't even live in the same home. Even though they are separated, they still love each other very much and want a forever home together.
These two great kids also have a little wish. They would like to go see a wrestling match together.
If you would like more information about becoming part of their lives or granting their little wish, please call the Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition at 1-800-FOSTER3.
A special thank you to L'Ecole Culinaire and Chef Damon Payne! The kids had a blast!

Ke$ha's ass. I think.
I honestly haven't paid much attention to Ke$ha because up until now I thought she was just Lady GaGa after a shower. But here she is in London last night flashing what might be her ass. Don't quote me on that because it could just as easily be two uncooked biscuits falling out of her dress. Still waiting on a call back from NASA.

NASA Partners with Utah State University's Space Dynamics Lab
Friday, May. 03, 2013
SDL's Thermal and Optical Research chamber provides the capability to simulate the space environment for thermal balance testing, allows sensors to reach in-flight temperatures and provides a low infrared background for precise calibration testing.
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Innovative Partnerships Office has entered into a Space Act Agreement with Utah State University's Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL), North Logan, Utah, to develop a high-resolution optical encoder.
The partnership, funded by SDL through a Reimbursable Space Act Agreement, allows for the joint development of a high-resolution cryogenic optical encoder — an angular position sensor — to be used in conjunction with the laboratory's large, evacuated Thermal and Optical Research (THOR) chamber. The period of performance is for one year from October 10, 2012.
The encoder will be used to very accurately measure the pointing angle of a large, high precision mirror in a second vacuum chamber connected to THOR. Using this encoder technology, the Space Dynamics Laboratory expects to reduce uncertainties in the performance and calibration of space-based sensor systems and to increase efficiency of sensor calibrations it performs for NASA and the Department of Defense programs. NASA Goddard's Doug Leviton invented and patented this encoder technology.

Easy and Elegant Christmas Cocktail Party
A holiday cocktail party is a great way to welcome the season with friends and neighbors.
A holiday cocktail party is a great way to welcome the season with friends and neighbors.
Serve bite-sized foods and a special drink for the occasion and keep in mind peoples busy schedules. You can limit the time to a couple of hours, or host it open house style where guests can come and go at their convenience. An important thing to remember is to send out those invitations early. Schedules fill up quickly this time of year!
This post was sponsored and inspired by Pear Tree Greetings, but the great ideas come from the creative minds of our contributors, not the advertiser. Inspire yourself and visit Pear Tree for Christmas cards , graduation party invitations and birth announcements.
The holidays have always been my favorite time of year. Historically, we have held a big cocktail party to celebrate the season, usually on the second Saturday of December. This year, inspired by the Christmas Holly Hurry Christmas party invitations from Pear Tree Greetings, I'm sharing a mini version of our classic party style which includes festive decor, tasty appetizers, and a signature cocktail.
The invitations are a combination of silver and gold with a hint of red. This inspired the party decor where I used gold wrapping paper as the backdrop to the food table. The print on the gold paper is very similar to the print on the invitation. Using a white base lets the colors and the food shine.
DIY plate stands hold a variety of hearty appetizers for guests to serve themselves. A few pieces of ribbon placed on the table highlight each food item without taking up space. An acrylic tray is turned upside down and used as a riser. When decorating for your party, "shop" your home for items you can use in new and creative ways.
A circle menu card was made to resemble the invitations. A menu card is great for a buffet table as your guests can see at a glance what's available.
Food can also become an integral part of the decor. Goat cheese toasts are topped with roasted red peppers, and sundried tomato pesto and bring a pop of red to the table.
We also served mashed potatoes in shot glasses for an appetizer appeal at this cocktail party.
Baked brie with honey and slivered almonds also made an appearance at our soiree - a rich, creamy cheese is always welcome at a holiday party!
Sugar and spice pecans were littered throughout the party space for easy munching as guests mixed and mingled.
To add something heartier to our passed appetizer menu, we made these easy, yet elegant chicken and artichoke quiches.
And lastly, this was a holiday cocktail party, so we concocted a signature drink to fit the occasion. A sweet and tart red mix got dressed up for the occasion with the name, Santa's Sleigh!
See how Dawn Sandomeno and Elizabeth Mascali elevate the every day with their fantastic recipes and ideas!Read More »

THE spoken and written word was celebrated during a festival of workshops and special events.
The King's School, Worcester, held Words Alive from Thursday, January 30 to Thursday, February 6 to demonstrate the vibrancy of the school's cultural life through a diverse programme of events designed to encourage a love of the spoken and written word.
It was made available to the whole school community, parents, visitors and other local schools.
Pupils worked with visiting professionals including author Joe Craig, the deputy chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary Philip Durkin, Birmingham's young poet laureate Matt Windle, poet Charles Bennett and actor Nick O'Brien.
The eclectic evening and weekend programme included a performance by the nationally-acclaimed poet, Wendy Cope, a family workshop with award-winning illustrator and author Petr Horacek and a powerful performance of Woyzeck set in the aftermath of the First World War, presented by Scene Productions.
A large audience enjoyed the festival finale when poet-in-residence Wendy Cope was joined by current and former pupils who presented and performed a memorable evening of music, dance, film and drama.


text: One thing I have always enjoyed is that in earlier versions of BackTrack (I did not use BT4) there were preloaded bookmarks in FF, full of useful tools and resources. I recall Milw0rm (Now 1337day) and others being prominently displayed on the bookmarks bar, as well as categorized bookmark folders filled with a decent amount of links. My question is where did they go? Upon loading BT5 I only see 3 Bookmarks + the SOMA FM Link (Excluding Backtrack's own links). If anyone either has a list of the old preloaded bookmarks or suggestions of their own it would really help me out. I hope this isn't too off-topic for the general forum, but I didn't find a more appropriate sub-forum to post this in.

What can you trust in China these days? An investigative journalist who says a well-known company has allegedly been manipulating its financial results? Or the company that denies that point blank? How about a police force that crosses provincial lines to arrest the "offending" journalist on suspicion of damaging that company's commercial reputation?
Above all, can we now trust the confession of the journalist – paraded on state TV with head shaved and in handcuffs – admitting that he was paid to falsify those stories? Read more

I know this sort of blog post is normally done closer to New Year than at Christmas, but this time of year gets me to thinking about all that's happened over the last 12 months.
I think it's because Christmas is something that I remember quite clearly, whereas New Year can all be a bit of a blur (for different reasons!).
I asked hubby what his favourite dishes were, of those I've cooked over the last 12 months. We were both agreed that the best ones were the surprises. Not "surprise" as in "sausage surprise", but the things that we'd never had before and which turned out to be completely delicious.
Things like the Baked Camembert. That lovely warm, soft, melting cheese being dipped into with griddled asparagus spears. Oh, truly To.Die.For. We knew it was going to be good, but oh my word, how it surpassed being simply "good".
The real taste revelation that was Black Pudding. I'd never had black pudding before and had been too leery of it in the past, to try it. I was so glad I did - and I suspect it was just at the right time.
It has a complicated flavour that has very little relation to blood, but has an intense savouriness that is just so great – in small doses – with all kinds of dishes.
Another surprise was the Borscht. I'd been aware of this beetroot soup for donkey's years, but hadn't ever tried any. To be honest, up until the last couple of years, I'd been carrying a childhood dislike of beetroot.
However, my re-awakened interest in food and cooking has woken me up to many different flavours, one of which was the humble beetroot. I certainly wasn't anticipating the depth of flavour, nor the complicated levels of flavour that the Borscht brought.
Oh, and while we're thinking along beetroot lines - how about the Chocolate & Beetroot Cake! Now there was a really delightful surprise.
I've since made the cake on three different occasions - two of which were (very successfully) for family birthday parties. Generally, the news that the lovely chocolate cake before them is, in fact, made with beetroot (along with chocolate) sends eyebrows shooting skywards in surprise.
It is fun to watch everyone taking their first bite and waiting to be assailed by a beetroot club, only to find a gloriously moist and sticky, chocolatey mouthful of loveliness instead.
Another big surprise came from another humble vegetable. Who'd have thought that a couple of avocados could make such an unctuous, gorgeous, incredibly moreish, dessert when coupled with a tin of condensed milk, a couple of limes and a packet of digestives!
If you're in any doubt, give the Avocado Pie a go. I bet you'll be as pleasantly surprised as we were.
Something else that came as a surprise, was the Cream of Celery Soup. Now we knew that this soup stood every possibility of being lovely, but the actuality was (again) so much more.
In comparison, I can quite categorically confirm that the tinned soup tastes as much like Celery as its label does, i.e. not at all. Who knew such an unassuming vegetable packed so much flavour, that was so successfully eradicated in the tinned version?
For me, one of the big surprises of the year has been my immediate acceptance of Goat's Cheese. I had always been vehemently against Goat's Cheese, not in general but as something liable to cross my plate.
This is entirely down to a goat I used to know, by the name of Harvey, who was the smelliest most disreputable creature known to man. He was a lovely boy really, but God, did he stink!
My most stellar experience with Harvey was when I received a phone call from his owner to say Harvey had escaped and was holding the guests of a local Hotel hostage as he prowled their lounge - and could we do him a favour and go and retrieve him?
We found Harvey happily munching his way along a trail of bread rolls which led out of the door of the Lounge - except every time he reached the door, instead of going out he'd turn back and ask for more.
Not being frightened of him, we quickly grabbed a horn each and frog-marched him back along the road to his pen, where he was quickly attached to a long chain to prevent any further ideas of Hotel domination.
For years, though, the smell of goat's cheese was just too reminiscent of the smell of Harvey to be anywhere near palatable.
After all, I knew what he'd done to himself to create such a green miasma to hover above his head - and it didn't make me think "yummy!". Nope. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Perhaps you can imagine my surprise when I ventured tentatively into goat's cheese with the New Potato, Bacon & Goat's Cheese salad and absolutely loved it. Seems like even a rampant male goat can become acceptable, if you add twenty or so years to the mix!
So, with that trip down my culinary memory lane completed, it just remains for me to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and the best of all things in the year to come. Who knows what I might try, next year. I've always had a hankering to try some truffles ....

"For this particular invitation I needed a lot of the wording changed to fit my particular event. The designers edited the invitation exactly how I asked and it turned out perfectly!! After submitting my final approval I was surprised at how fast I received the invitations! Everything was perfect. This is the second time I've used this company for invites and I highly recommend them to help make any occasion extra special!"
"As always the quality of this rehearsal dinner invite is great. It is the perfect size and design for the occasion and everyone that received it, loved it! Aside from adding my own event details, I didn't change a thing which made the process very easy."
"I changed the color of the paper to go with the overall themeof the wedding. I changed the shape of the card whichI thought made it look different. I spoke withsomeone on the phone throughout my entire order process since I had some trouble with my internet browser. she stayed on the phone withme until my entire order was complete. I can't say enough about this personalized service. I ordered at the last minute and was able to get my order in 3 days."
"I ordered these invitations for my son's rehearsal dinner. They were perfect. I love the color combination. It blends beautifully with the wedding colors. The quality of the paper and the envelopes was excellent. They were delivered exactly as promised. The only negative thing I can say is that the invitation size was smaller than I anticipated. I would highly recommend the wedding paper divas!"
"2 weddings within 6 months-whew! Ordered Rehearsal Dinner invitations for both from WPD and both orders, although different, were absolutely beautiful. The invitations were simple to customize and arrived ahead of schedule."

Topic: My father diagnosed with Klatskin Tumour
My father was diagnosed with a Klatskin Tumour on May 17th.
We are from Bogotá, Colombia.
He is 65 years old.
I am going to describe our experience and i hope to get your advices.
His first and only symptom was jaundice. We went to the hospital and after some tests doctors said that he has a Klatskin Tumour.
The tests that they did were:
magnetic resonance cholangiography:
Hypointense mass en T1, isointense mass in T2 at the hepatics confluence with extension to the comun hepatic and cefalic extension in the 4a segment, with not well defined edges.
There are dilatation of the intrahepatic bile duct.
In the seventh segment there are a Hypointense image in T1.
There is parenchyma reduction related with the mass at the 4a segment.
There is not lymphadenopathy.
There is a thrombosis of the left branch of the portal vein.
CAT scan with Contrast
it is seen a 24 mm hypodense nodule in the right thyroid lobe.
discrete bilateral posterior basal fibroatelectasics tracts.
small left basal cyst of 9 mm
no mediastinal or pleural injury
dilatation of the intrahepatic bile duct in both lobes with bad-defined image of 28 mm at the confluence of the hepatics
subcapsular hypodense focal lesion of 19 mm in segment vii
pancreas and adrenal glands of normal appearance
negative bone metastasis
The blood test values:
Total bilirrubine: 21.9
Direct Bilirrubine: 17.9
Indirect Billirrubine: 4.0
ca 19-9: 13.9
ca 125 negative
After that diagnosis they decided to put the stents.
One stent was placed in the right bile duct, it can't be placed in the left bile duct.
After that procedure a pancreatitis (Balthazar b) was generated. And he was in the ICU for 3 days.
He recovered from the pancretatitis and they did a percutaneous biopsy with negative results for malignancy.
Then we come back to home.
three days after that, my father have fever and vomiting. We come back to the hospital and the diagnosis was an abdominal sepsis.
They decided to do a percutaneous biliary drainage. It was only possible at the right lobe because the left lobe has an important decrease in size.
He was in a 14 days antibiotic treatment at the hospital and after a good response he is again at home.
The last blood tests (June 7th) have the following values:
Total Bilirrubine: 5.4
Direct Bilirrubine: 3.5
Indirect bilirrubine: 1.9
glutamic pyruvic transaminase: 120
glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase: 81
alkaline phosphatase: 316
Creatinine: 0.6
Now we are at home expecting what kind of treatment can be done. But it is not clear because of the negative result of the biopsy.
Have you some experience with similar cases.
Thanks a lot.

Man accused of molesting girl in Black Friday line
Published: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 10:39 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 5:01 p.m.
A Starke man was arrested early Friday morning on allegations of molesting a teenager at The Oaks Mall as they were waiting to get in a store when it opened at midnight Thursday.
John Wesley Mosely, 19, of 17690 NW 59th Loop, was charged by the Alachua County Sheriff's Office with one count of child cruelty without great harm.
Mosely was standing behind the 14-year-old girl in a line at the Hollister when he grabbed her between her legs, the report states. The girl told deputies she initially thought it was accidental and tried to move forward.
However, Mosely continued to grab and fondle her until he fell to the ground when the crowd surged forward as the doors opened, deputies said. The report states Mosely still had his hand between the girl's legs as he sat on the ground.
Two officers who were working in plain clothes in the mall were given information on the incident, including a description. They quickly identified Mosely as the suspect as he was walking to the food court.
Mosely denied touching the girl.

As a now-famous YouTube clip from 2010 shows, kids as young as 2 can operate an iPad, quickly learning how to open apps and play games. Unfortunately, some parents who used their iPad or iPhone as a babysitter ended up with a steep bill when their kids spent hundreds of dollars on virtual items in "free" games.
Five disgruntled parents blamed Apple for failing to provide appropriate controls around in-app purchases, and together filed a class-action lawsuit against the iPhone maker in 2011.
After fighting the case for two years, Apple agreed to settle last week, according to court filings first spotted by GigaOm. Read more

Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 8:47 a.m.
STUART, Fla. — A teenage surfer was posing for pictures in the waters off central Florida when a shark bit him.
Cole Taschman needed 12 stitches in his right hand after being bitten Sunday in the waters off Stuart.
The high school junior tells The Palm Beach Post that he was in waist-deep waters when a blacktip reef shark bit his hand.
Taschman says he hit the shark with his surfboard and then ran out of the water to get help. He says the shark he saw was between 4 feet and 5 feet long.
The 16-year-old had been posing for pictures for a fundraiser for an injured friend.
According to the University of Florida's International Shark Attack File, Florida leads the country in shark attacks.
