| From the editor
We have arrived into late October, into a period of time where most of the hubbub surrounding the recent admin and bureaucrat nominations has died down. Furthermore, the novelty activity resulting from the episodes of the Legend of Korra has finally declined sharply from the figures we had a month or two ago - where we used to average over thirty editing users on the most active page, we are now netting ten.
Though our count of rollback users and the considerable number of comments we receive per day may indicate otherwise, the truth of the matter is, there will be a general lack of activity across (nearly) all aspects of the wiki. The mainspace will be the particularly hardest hit, with its reliance on canon content to drive it, and a pool of dedicated editors year round - which is unrealistic, to say the least. Even among our rollback users, there is an overall count of eleven who have not managed to edit an article within the past week - and there is even one who has not logged in since September.
Our recent flair during and the months after the LoK was predominantly due to seasonal IPs and users providing bursts of activity during times of interest. Large events, such as the nominations, also contributed to pulling relatively inactive users out of the woodwork. However, with the next Book for LoK far off into next year, as well as the comics, inactivity will be the name of the game for the next few months. So, to our esteemed readers, try not to be the first users who drop off the radar! We and the wiki will definitely miss the activity and input you give to us.
In brighter news, balancing the drop of activity within the mainspace, fanon seems to be as strong as ever, with regular releases of the White Lotus Sentinel and a good many users involving themselves in that part of the wiki. Though I myself have never written a fanon before in my life, I'm thinking it may be time to turncoat into doing fanon instead...
But, as always, I digress from the purpose of this newsletter. As an end to my rambling, I present a congratulations to Lady Lostris, who has become our new bureaucrat, and a farewell to BlackMonkey as deputy editor of the Ba Sing Se Times, stepping down due to his relative inactivity. But without further ado, I will now allow you, the reader, to proceed to the articles. Enjoy!
As some of you might know, I have always been a huge admirer of architecture and a very dedicated studier of geography. One of the initial reasons I began enjoying Avatar was the geography in the series. The different climates and regions explored as Aang and his friends traveled the world and the extreme detail that the creators gave to everything simply made the World of Avatar seem almost like a real place. And as for Republic City, I must give the creators and producers of the show some credit for creating such a realistic and incredible city.
But of course, Republic City has major influence from several other cities in the real world, and in this column I will be outlining a few of my ideas as to what cities "make up" Republic City. I will also be mentioning a bit about the possibility of skyscraper development in other cities in the Avatar World.
The location of Republic City, all things considered, seems reminiscent of Vancouver, Canada. Vancouver is situated on several peninsulas, and albeit they are a bit larger than Republic City's main peninsulas, it is quite similar. One of Republic City's defining features is, of course, the mountains that rise from the areas to the east of the city. Vancouver also is bounded by large mountains immediately to the east. There are several other real world cities that are situated on peninsulas or are surrounded by mountains, such as New York, but most cities do not include both of these features as Vancouver does.
However, although the location does not match New York's entirely, The shape of the central peninsula of Republic City seems to match the shape of Manhattan Island in New York City. I also think that the true extent of the skyscraper development in Republic City is only paralleled by New York; the busy harbors that each respective cities thrive on are also reminiscent of each other.
And while I'm talking about possible American influence, I'll move on to Chicago. The criminal activity in Republic City resembles mob activity that occurred during the Prohibition Era. However, the concept of "triads" was prevalent in many Asian cities, therefore some of the criminal activity seems to be based upon events in Asia.
And of course, this brings me to architecture. The architecture of Republic City's high rise, and even low rise, buildings is predominantly Asian in its appearance. This is likely derived from cities such as Shanghai, Hong Kong, and perhaps Taipei.
Lastly, I'll talk about the possibility of tall structures in other locations in the World of Avatar. In the real world, the method of using steel to build taller buildings spread from the United States across the globe quickly. Most large cities developed a central business district where these buildings would be built. I am predicting that the same occurred in the World Avatar - the world's major cities which had a demand for more workspace began constructing taller structures to accommodate these workers.
So this arises the question - which cities developed high rise buildings? During the original series, the Fire Nation seemed to enjoy impressing the world with the newest, most modern technology that was available; they also built a few taller structures. This seems to be a reasonable place for skyscraper development. Another major city, Ba Sing Se, seems like a place where taller buildings would be necessary. The city is bounded by walls on all sides, and they have one area to build - up.
These are just a few of my predictions and musings about development in the Avatar World.
From editing articles, posting comments, and writing fanon, AW has it all. Once you log in, you meet many friendly users, those who will some be on your friends list on your profile, or those who you laugh and joke around with on the IRC. They soon become like family to you, even if you can't see what's behind the screen. Avatar Wiki soon becomes your home.
However, we must not separate ourselves from reality. Although we may be sad to see those who are your friends become inactive, they may become something spectacular some day. Maybe, the next time they'll log in, they'll be a successful lawyer who is still intact with their fellow Avatar fandom.
Sometimes, there are things on AW you may not expect. I never expected myself to be a rollback user. But hey, life is full of surprises. I've made a lot of good friends in my time here, and hope to make more in the future.
It's that time again, folks! Lady Lostris, one of our renowned administrators has been elected by the community to the post of bureaucrat. An excellent all-round contributor, she has been spreading her web of influence over us all since the beginning of 2011, first as good ol' regular autoconfirmed user, later as a rollback, and finally as an administrator... And, well, most of our readers should know the rest of the story from there. Now, let us all hear the welcoming words of wisdom from our newest bureaucrat!
1. The community has elected you. You know your role, and your responsibilities. One week in, has reality matched your previous perceptions of the post?
2. Here's hoping that you have a long bureaucratship. But on that note, how long do you think you will stay as bureaucrat?
3. Now that you have gained insight on the job, is it any different to your previous role as an administrator?
4. As the new bureaucrat of this wiki, are we to expect any new immediate changes - policy or otherwise?
5. Any final thoughts on your election to this post?
|from the fanon portal
It is the Summer of 0 ASC. Syra, an eleven year-old Air Nomad girl, is leading a peaceful life at her home, the Eastern Air Temple of the Telukin Mountain Range. With summer having arrived, school days have turned from lessons in the classroom to Airbending practices outdoors. At the same time, a twelve year-old Fire Nation boy, named Siro, is living in the small town of Sen Go not too far from the Fire Nation Capital. His father is one of the advisers to the head of the town and therefore, is very keen on all current events happening; his older brother is training at a local military school. - A description of WANWtE
Hey Everyone, Godsrule here with another FFF (Fanon Fact Finders) interview. Today I am interviewing The Ultimate Waterbender about her fanon When Air Nomads Walked the Earth. So without further ado, may I give you the author of When Air Nomads Walked the Earth The Ultimate Waterbender!
The renowned BlackMonkey has returned - I think! Except as a ninja that secretly watches over our fanon portal, ensuring that his brilliant Advertising Systemis still running strong. But while he's doing that, I'll attempt to update you all on the Fanon Advertisement news again.
Today, October 20, marks the end of Chi-Blocker's promotion. There were a total of three participants in the Advertisement Contest: me, Acer Indonesia, and Typhoonmaster. With me and Acer being part of the group that changes out the promotions every two weeks. Seriously, guys? I thought userboxes were a thing here! I mean come on, winning that fortnightly contest will get you some nice attention in the BSST too! Ya leave me no choice but to lay it down on you… How many of you guys wish you had more active commenters on your fanon? How many of you can say that you have at least five consistent ones per chapter? Oh, I know the answer: almost none. I think I've read enough fanons to have a pretty good idea. And you want to know why this is so? Look at the overwhelming and gracious support for fanons in the Advertisement System! One person outside the "staff" that runs the system itself left his advice for the contest, i.e. advice that's supposed to help the promoted fanon.
So there you have it. I know some of the habits you fan-hungry authors practice; commenting on your own fanons to ask for other comments, agreeing to subscribe only if the other subscribes in return, commenting on other fanons to demand the same for yourself, starting messages on others' walls only to guilt-trip them into a subscription, or even butting into someone else's thread just to advertise your fanon… I've seen quite a bit. I don't think much of it and I hold nothing against anyone who practices these habits, but today I just felt the need to point out why you still don't have fans. None of those things work. Or maybe they'll work for one person, but five active commenters? Probably a stretch, huh? And the reason is right in front of your face. You don't support other fanons. Here in this Advertisement System, where support is made so easy and even rewardedwith userboxes and a BSST announcement, you still can't leave a single meaningful comment. So that naturally gives me good reason to believe that you probably won't support the fanon outside of the Advertisement System, either. Now I know many of you are involved in other ways to help fanons, but that doesn't change the fact that a great number of authors are still floating around the portal, doing nothing and screaming for fans as if they'll come. Well…what can I say that I haven't already? If there are others like you, the fan-hungry author who never reaches out to leave any form of supportive feedback…do you really expect them to treat your fanon any differently? You tell me.
(Ahem) …Bah, talking this seriously is wearing me down. The formality of the BSST and the obligation not to use my beloved emoticons must be getting to me. But ANYWAY… like I was saying, today marks the end of one promotion and begins another. And I was most delighted to find that Phantoms by Aritiane is this week's pick! There's no shortage of praise I can give this masterpiece. It's one of those fanons that I just can't understand why commenters aren't flocking by the hundreds around. If you've ever had any gripes about LoK, namely in character development and shallow plotlines, this fanon takes care of it all! In fact, this fanon is 1 of 2 that ever received a 9.0 or above average in Minnichi's FRS reviewing history (the other is Energy Saga, naturally). It's not like I do it on purpose, guys, but I just can't stress enough that Aritiane writes really, REALLY well! The characters have all the depth that the show doesn't give us, and the dark, conspiracy-themed plot is so well-planned and intense that I wouldn't be surprised if Aritiane turns out to be a paid author in real life. It's just…gah, you mustread it! That's really all I can say.
And that concludes the update on the Advertisement System. The contest is open to anyone who wants to comment and be glorified in the next BSST issue! Probably more useful than begging for fans or whatever else you're trying at the moment, just saying. Speaking of which, Acer Indonesia gets a special mention for winning the contest this time. He's the most consistent commenter of all and truly deserves this glorification. You guys gotta stop letting him win!
As much as authors are encouraged these days to continue writing regardless of the state of their fanbase, it's never easy when your comment section is a barren desert. One begins to wonder if people even like their fanon, let alone read it. Welllll, for anyone who's not familiar with the site, Fanfiction.net has a handy tool called "Traffic Stats" that reveals the dark truth! …Okay it's actually a pretty awesome truth, but this here's just to show you guys how bad we have it with lurker readers, i.e. those who view your fanon and enjoy it without leaving a single trace of feedback.
With this in mind, I think it's safe to say that 100% of fanons have readers. That's right – ALL of them. I took a little screenshot of the September Traffic Stats for my story, Silent Hero in Emerald, just to demonstrate:
This graph was from the month of September (and as you can tell, my last update was on the 8th). "Views" refer to the number of times any of your chapters were clicked on, while "visitors" refer to how many different IP addresses, or people, viewed your story. And now to the point: In Fanfiction.net, fan comments are referred to as "reviews," which they keep in a huge collective pile of pages instead of a chapter-by-chapter section, and the author only replies to them via PM. My fanon's last update brought back like 6 reviews, I think (I lose track of which chapter they were meant for in the collective pile). They were all posted on the day of the update, September 8th…but look at the graph. On the 8th, there were 158 views and 40 visitors – FORTY VISITORS?! That means that out of forty completely different people, only six went through the effort of writing a fan comment and posting it. One might blame this on the possibility that people were "trying out" my fanon at first and didn't like it, so only a few commented. But as you can see… the trend continues as the days pass. Of course, there're never as many as 40 after the day of update, but even now I'll see it jump to 20 and above on certain days, while it's been well over a month since September 8th.
Just think about this, guys. There are more lurker readers out there than we can imagine. A 40 to 6 ratio of visitors to actual commenters is really saying something. As much as we want to show the world actual evidence of fans, truth is the great majority just read leisurely in the background. But they're there! Meaning YOUR fanon has readers. Period. Don't ever quit because of lack of readers...because there really isn't a lack at all. Try to lure the lurkers out, if anything, but don't ever forget about them.
So my final message? Authors: stay confident; you always have fans! And to the lurkers: get off your butt already and leave feedback if you truly like the story! You have no idea how much damage you do by staying hidden.

Man enters no contest plea in fatal crossbow shooting of horse
ALTON- The man accused of shooting and killing a horse with a crossbow entered a no contest plea to a felony count of cruelty to an animal.
According to the Humboldt County District Attorney's Office, Joshua Slater shot a young horse named "Cash" in Alton back in April. A second case of felony animal cruelty involved the alleged killing of a goat just eight days later. The District Attorney also said in March park rangers at the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park allegedly found Slater in possession of deer and elk parts. Becki Bean, Cash's owner, said she and her family are still trying to deal with the loss of their horse, and hope Slater gets his maximum sentence,
"From what I know about him I do not really want to see him back out on the street period. If you are going to begin torturing animals, it may move to something more serious and that freaks me out. It is always terrible when you lose an animal, the kids are always asking about him so we are just glad that everything is coming to a close and we can move on past everything."
Slater is set to be sentenced Jan. 15 and faces up to three years in local custody.

I'm also currently considering buying similar glasses but in tortoise/brown. What's your guys take on that? Thanks for the input!
Most Helpful Guy
It would be better to see other ones for comparison. Yea they look pretty good. I don't think tortoise/brown would work though. But I'd have to see it. With your dark hair I think you'd want to stick with something black like you have, or maybe something more neutral.
I agree with the other people who said it might be too big with too thick of frame. Mainly it's the bridge and earpiece that's a little too thick. As far as size, I think it's only slightly too big. Your eyes seem to be close to centered in the lenses (which from the strictly visual aspect is good). If the lenses are super wide or narrow, then your eyes won't be centered.
I can't remember how the numbers work, but there are two numbers. I think one is the distance across the bridge, and the other is the width of the lens. You have to combine the two numbers to come up with the distance between the center of the lens. You can probably learn from experience by trying them on which numbers work best for you. I say this, because in my experience the opticians don't volunteer much info.
They also don't volunteer that optically, rectangular frames are not as good as round. Unless you have strong astigmatism - in which case you want something with a little shape, but don't need a lot.00|00|0
Thanks for the advice on color. I'll try on the tortoise frames and keep in mind what you said.
I agree that the frames could be a little thinner. The problem, however, is that I have a super wide face, so it's hard finding frames that even fit well width-wise. So, unfortunately, my options are limited and to my eyes, the glasses I'm sporting in the picture were the best I could afford and find. And yeah, one of the things I was keeping an eye out for in a pair of frames is whether my eyes were relatively centered in the lenses or not.
I didn't know that about rectangular frames. I do have moderate astigmatism (-1.50 cyl in each eye), so I guess rectangular frames are somewhat practical for me?
Thanks for the input!

This boy Luke and I have been talking on and off randomly since last year it varies. But sometimes when were talking I feel like he talks to me like I'm "one of the guys" maybe he doesn't know what he wants but he brought me home the other day and I had to ask him to come in and he left his car running... maybe he just thinks were friends I don't know how can I get him to see me out of being one of the guys?
How can I get him to see me out of being one of the guys?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
You're clearly not flirting enough. Reach down his pants once in a while!00|00|0
Trust me I flirt with him but we always stop texting each other but he just talks to me like I'm one of the guys
Well in that case I would stop acting like one of the guys. Do you dress to show your femininity? Make plans that don't include the other guys and don't involve male activities. Since you're already his friend you have a perfect excuse to invite yourself out to dinner or a movie.
What Girls Said 1
flirt with him, wear sexy clothes in front of him or just in general but DONT BE A SLUT! just like maybe tight shirts and an occasional low cut top. flirting will help a lot but if your not good at that then do the clothes.. both would help more tho :)00|00|0

SolarCity, Tesla Link On Central Coast Charging Stations
Foster City-based SolarCity and San Carlos-based Tesla Motors are building a network of four charging stations between San Francisco and Los Angeles, to service electric vehicle owners, SolarCity said today. In a deal with Rabobank, SolarCity said that it has installed charging stations in Salinas, Atascadero, Santa Maria and Goleta, in order to allow all-electric cars to travel between San Francisco and Los Angeles. SolarCity said the charging stations will provide a full charge in one-third the amount of other charging stations. The new stations will be at Rabobank's bank branches along the 101 Freeway.

Definitions Edit
A plausible denial is an "[o]fficial disclaimer supported by a believable cover story."[1]
Plausible deniability is a term coined by the CIA during the Kennedy administration to describe the withholding of information from senior officials in order to protect them from repercussions in the event that illegal or unpopular activities by the CIA became public knowledge.
The term most often refers to the denial of blame in (formal or informal) chains of command, where senior figures assign responsibility to the lower ranks, and records of instructions given do not exist or are inaccessible, meaning independent confirmation of responsibility for the action is nearly impossible. In the case that illegal or otherwise disreputable and unpopular activities become public, high-ranking officials may deny any awareness of such act or any connection to the agents used to carry out such acts. The lack of evidence to the contrary ostensibly makes the denial plausible, that is, credible. The term typically implies forethought, such as intentionally setting up the conditions to plausibly avoid responsibility for one's (future) actions or knowledge.

Please see the following message on behalf of Rick Phillips, OLA VP of Coaching:
Greetings fellow coaches, and welcome to the 2016 lacrosse season. In 2015, we noticed a pattern where coaches were bypassing the community development level in both box and field, and instead taking the competitive intro clinic. This year, this has become a full-blown problem. The OLA Coaching Pathway clearly states that it is essential for first-year coaches to successfully complete the community development clinic prior to enrolling in a comp intro clinic (which is required for coaches involved in bantam and above).
Because of the significant number of coaches who failed to follow the OLA Coaching Pathway and have had their field lacrosse cards rejected for lack of proper certification, the OLA made a one-time exception for these coaches in order to allow them to coach the 2015 field lacrosse season. These individuals must attend a community development clinic before the beginning of the 2016 field season to satisfy their missing component, or they will be ineligible to coach. The OLA also realized that this issue occured with box lacrosse coaches as well, and as a result, the same one time exception was granted for the 2015 box season. Again, these coaches must attend a community development clinic prior to the 2016 box season in order to be certified. There will be no exceptions for either sector in 2016.
We trust that this message will be circulated to coaches eo ensure that they are informed of this decision, as well as the requirement to follow the OLA's Coaching Pathway for proper certification in the future. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter, as well as your involvement in the OLA's coaching program.

text: For a long timer we've had the ability to build each libvirt driver as a loadable module. We have never used this by default and as a result it constantly bit-rots. This series fixes various bugs, and then enables it by default in configure. It also makes the PRMs use the loadable modules, adding new new sub-RPMs for each module. We can now finally install minimal libvirt binaries for each hypervisor. ie yum install libvirt-kvm will not pull in Xen libraries!

The Night Boat, Robert McCammon's third published novel, first appeared as a paperback original in 1980. Following on the heels of Baal and Bethany's Sin, it offered further proof that a writer of great narrative power and limitless potential - a writer who would achieve a significant position in modern popular fiction--had arrived.
The story begins with a vividly written prologue in which a German U-boat--sometimes known as an 'Iron Coffin'--attacks an unsuspecting merchant vessel, and is itself attacked by a pair of Allied sub chasers. The action then shifts to the present day and to the idyllic Caribbean island of Coquina, where life is about to change in unimaginable ways. David Moore, a young man with a tragic and haunted past, is skin-diving in the waters off Coquina, searching for the salvageable remnants of shipwrecks. He accidentally detonates a long-unexploded depth charge, uncovering and releasing a submarine that has lain beneath those waters, virtually intact, for decades. The battered vessel that rises to the surface contains a bizarre and terrifying cargo that will transform a once peaceful island into a landscape of unrelenting nightmare.
The Night Boat is a story of cannibalism, ancient voodoo curses, and shambling, undead entities filled with a bottomless rage and an equally bottomless hunger. But it is also the story of a past that refuses to die, that lies in wait just beneath the surface of the unsuspecting present. Furiously paced and viscerally frightening, this horrific early gem is both an outstanding entertainment in its own right and a harbinger of the masterpieces to come.

Mix of John Carpenter's THE FOG & Dawn of the Dead
I read the boat more than 20 years ago & have always had a fondness for it. To hear it was like listening to a movie. First time I read it, I loved it. Reminded me of the 1979 film The Fog by John Carpenter, Then you see the zombie side come out in the story. This novel should be turned into a movie.

A CAR has crashed into a house in Farnworth.
A red Lexus ploughed through the front garden of a property in Harper Green Road before hitting the house itself at about 7pm tonight.
Three people were in the garden at the time of the incident, with another two inside the house, but nobody was hurt.
The driver of the car fled the scene and is now being hunted by police.
A 74-year-old woman was treated for shock at the scene, according to the fire service.
The house has been left uninhabitable after the front elevation and side gable were damaged.
Fire crews from Farnworth and Leigh attended after hearing reports of a collapsed structure.
The police removed the car after an assessment concluded that taking it out of the house would not affect the stability.
A building inspector has visited the street and concluded that the house is safe and not at risk of falling down.
Fire station watch manager Tony McKenna said: "This could easily have been a very serious incident.
"Fortunately nobody was hurt but an elderly lady was treated for shock at the scene.
"Fire crews will be in the locality in the next few days offering home safety checks to reassure the community."

text: Three States II [disquiet0053-ice2013] by :¬l published on 2013-01-06T23:23:09Z For the 53rd Disquiet Junto project - Ice for 2013. This project is a repeat of the very first assignment on the first anniversary of the Junto. As before, the simple instruction was: "Please record the sound of an ice cube rattling in a glass, and make something of it." The aim of this piece was to use basically the same setup as before, but with a different type of sound as the basis of the track. When I did the first of these pieces a year ago, I made most of the sounds from the ice cubes clinking against the glass. This time, I recorded only the sound of ice melting - making small noises as it squeaks, cracks and slides in the glass. This was a challenge because it is so quiet, but using a JRF contact mic and trial-and-error, it was possible to record the tiny sounds. The best results came from placing the mic between ice cubes in a glass without any water added. Four short recordings of the ice melting and cracking were processed simultaneously using a modular feedback system in Audiomulch, involving granular synthesis, delay and convolution reverb. The system generates three streams of sound with different delays - one dry, one processed with a single pass through the effects modules, and one in which the effects feed back to each other. A simple one-note bass synth part adds a tonal centre to the atonal sounds. Two versions produced with this system and one unprocessed recording are mixed in the final piece. Compare this with the original piece: http://soundcloud.com/notl/three-states More on this 53rd Disquiet Junto project at: http://disquiet.com/2013/01/03/disquiet0053-ice2013/ More details on the Disquiet Junto at: http://soundcloud.com/groups/disquiet-junto/info Comment by D I O S C U R O your work is superb. 2013/01/30 12:43:03 +0000 Comment by :¬l @sunhammer: Thanks Jay. That's mostly just the ice doing its melting business - surprising how busy the sound was when I managed to record it properly.

Registration fees include maps, hand-outs, insurance, park entrance fees, HST and online registration fee.
Navigation is the skill of finding your way from a place where you are to a place where you want to be. Knowing that navigation is the most important skill in the sports of adventure running, adventure racing and orienteering, DontGetLost Adventure Running have developed Canada's most innovative and hands-on navigation clinics. Over 3,000 people have taken our clinics and seminars in the last few years including novice outdoors people, gnarly weekend warriors, and professional adventure racers.
The map is the most important piece of equipment in adventure running, adventure racing and orienteering and this is certainly the case when learning to navigate. Accordingly, we believe that your first experience in learning to navigate MUST be on a map of high quality with a large scale (e.g., 1:10,000). Our cartographers have developed a series of innovative maps for our adventure racing clinics. Our maps are high quality, accurate, and do not require declination. Map accuracy and detail is decreased (and declination added in) for the higher level adventure racing navigation clinics to mimic adventure racing map quality. We are the only navigation clinics in Canada that match map quality with participant skill level development.
Successful navigation requires skills and confidence development. In our intro/intermediat participants learn navigation basics on a high quality map and gain important self confidence towards their sense of direction. As participant navigation skills develop through the upper levels, the participants are more prepared for the challenges of our inaccurate topographical maps and more prepared to learn the many navigation strategies taught by our certified coaches. Our clinics are designed and taught by international level adventure runners - the best navigators in the country. Our instructors are nationally certified coaches and officials and design adventure and orienteering race courses.
Learn the basics of map and compass skills in the first 2 hours of this clinic. Learn to read and understand maps, map legends and scales. Basic compass skills will be introduced, for map orientation and introductory bearings. Preparatory route selection and relocation techniques will be covered.
Our Advanced Nav Techniques clinic has now been replaced with our new weeknight adult program.
|April 2
|Morgan Firestone Arena , Ancaster
|September 30
|9am- 1pm
|Morgan Firestone Arena, Ancaster
Clinics with fewer than 3 participants will be cancelled or rescheduled. Clinics will also be cancelled if the weather is colder than -15C or -20C windchill.

[Special Preview] Creased: The Art of the Fold — An Alpha Posse Exclusive
It's time to for our next challenge!
Each month, we guide our Alpha Posse members through a fun skill-based, month-long challenge with tutorial videos, special interviews, and ongoing feedback and advice from our GMB Trainers.
Better flexibility is something that a lot of us would like to have but sometimes it can be difficult to know exactly what to focus on in order to get there.
But this month, we've got you covered! We're going to work on being able to improve a single stretch: the forward fold.
However, we aren't going to sit in position for long stretches of time, hoping to make progress with it. Instead, we're going to use other movements to help prep us for the fold and then finish up with some locomotion.
Perform this every single day (you can do this in minutes, just add it to the end of your current training sessions!) and see what kind of progress you make with it.
The challenge begins Sunday, September 6th and we'll choose a winner on September 30th! Want to join us in this challenge?

The Best Family Dining In The Smoky Mountains!
Bennett's Secret
It's no mystery why Bennett's Bar-B-Que meals are so moist, tender and packed full of flavor. First our pork ribs, chicken, chopped pork and beef briskets are basted in Bennett's own special sauce, then they're set over smoldering hickory wood and smoked for up to 14 hours. The heat and sauce penetrate deep into every layer of meat; turning it a perfect pinkish color while enriching every juicy mouthful with rich, smoky flavor. Since everyone likes different amounts of our mouth-waterin' sauce, we serve it warm on the side so you can pour on as much or as little as you like. After you've savored the last bite, we hope you'll agree that all the work we put into preparing your bar-b-que was well worth it!
The Applause Keeps On Coming!
Come by Bennett's to enjoy "award winning" BBQ and ribs as voted by local Mountain Press readers and festival attendees!
"You can find delectable hickory-smoked ribs at Bennett's" – The Houston Chronicle, July 11th.
Hello Gang at Bennett's,
We visited your restaurant last week while in Pigeon Forge and I wanted to tell you that I had the VERY BEST BBQ ribs I have ever had, anywhere. I have traveled all over the US and all over the world and your ribs are absolutely THE BEST!! Thanks! We are coming back up In October and I already have Bennett's on my list of places to go back to!

Just wanted to let you know we've been to your Gatlinburg and Sevierville locations many times when we vacationed in the Smokies. We love your food, especially the sauce. We always bought a case of your sauce to take home to Michigan. Now we are a little farther away and fortunately we planned ahead. We bought our case of sauce and brought it to Stuttgart, Germany with us! I don't know if this is the furthest your sauce has traveled, but it might be. Just wanted to let you know when we get a little homesick, this helps lift our spirits. See you in about 3 years when we move back to the states.

"The Best Thing I Ever Ate for Thanksgiving"
Posted Monday, November 30, 2009, at 8:05 AM
Maribeth Ward, Reporter, Greencastle IN Banner-Graphic
The best thing I ever ate for Thanksgiving wasn't your traditional turkey, potatoes and stuffing. It wasn't pumpkin pie or green bean casserole–no, not even sweet potatoes or grandma's
homemade rolls.
This year it was barbeque baby back ribs from my favorite rib joint in the world–Bennett's
in Gatlinburg.
They had a traditional buffet with all the usual expected holiday goodies. But, when you go to Bennett's you go for barbeque and that's what my husband and I had.
We didn't care that almost everyone around us was munching down on turkey and all the fixings. We came for that hickory smoked flavor and I don't mean in a turkey (although they had that too).
You can get turkey any old time–but only when you are in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge Tennessee can you find the most delectable perfectly cooked baby back ribs and pulled pork.
This holiday I am thankful for all the traditional things–family, friends, health–and, we celebrated the traditional way the Saturday before. But I am especially thankful for the baby back ribs at Bennett's Barbeque in Gatlinburg, Tennessee on the Little Pigeon River and that I could share them with my husband in a little log cabin on the ridge of a mountain in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Brought some home so if you hurry, you might get a bone or two…
"This is a nice little restaurant (with saloon) across from the tram. Greeted quickly, we were seated and a bubbly great waitress (Stephanie) was there to help. I ordered ribs, pulled pork, brisket, beans and corn on cob. Drinks came in pint or quart mason jars (remember Po' Folks?). The food was great;…Definitely will return to eat here"
Review in The Jackson County Banner Newspaper

Author Thomas Wright
We went out to Bennetts for dinner while in Pigeon Forge, and had the best experience. The waiter, from Boston, was so friendly and kind. The atmosphere was fun and warm without being hyper. The food was outstanding!!!!!!, and reasonably priced. How do you know you have good food??? When the vegetarian with us said your salad was very fresh! I felt sorry for her, that she was missing the mouth-watering pulled pork and smoked chicken. Yeah…….. After all the horrible food in Pigeon Forge, we are still dreaming about our night out at Bennett's. I intend to have some BBQ sauce sent to our house!
Teresa Ballantyne
I came here to eat, hungry as I could be. Bennett's Pit Bar-B-Que filled that need for me. A loaded baked potato hit the spot. The Blackberry Cobbler
so delicious is what I got! So Full, Happy and Content I didn't know where to stop.
Martha and Benny Thornton – Anderson SC
Good Morning!
My family recently stayed in Pigeon Forge and had Bennett's cater one of our meals. I was extremely hesitant about booking a catering order from SC without having a chance to taste test the food first. I did my research on your website and was a little nervous but booked the catering order. I was thinking that the food would be good enough to satisfy our hunger, but SURELY it wouldn't be good enough to please the self proclaimed BBQ experts in my family. The delivery driver was extremely courteous, arrived earlier than expected and setup all the food. As soon as the first family members started eating, I could hear sounds of approval. I couldn't wait to try it. I must admit that the BBQ was some of the BEST that I've ever had. Being from SC and from a family that BBQs all the time, I thought I had tasted the BEST in BBQ—that was until I had Bennett's! I've only been home 3 days, but I've already started recommending your restaurant to friends that will be visiting the area soon. You are definitely now my family's restaurant of choice when visiting the area!!

Having an arm and leg amputated won't stop Noah Galloway from dancing like a pro.
Noah Galloway is an Iraq War veteran. While there, he lost his left arm and leg during a roadside bombing.

Bolting is the growth of an elongated stalk with flowers grown from within the main stem of a plant. This condition occurs mainly in plants that are grown for their leaves, such as cabbage, lettuce, spinach, and other leafy greens. Bolting is induced by plant hormones of the gibberellin family. Bolting occurs because of the photo period. Some plants are long day plants (LDP) while others are short day plants (SDP) and some are day neutral. When a LDP such as spinach receives light for a longer period than it is dark for then it will bolt, otherwise known as flower. Bolting will affect many plants by causing unsatisfactory storage (onion),[1] and poor taste (lettuce).
Plant grows a central stalk with flower head/heads or bulb present. Leaf production is reduced.
Cut off flower stalk. Follow preventative methods to stop other plants bolting.
Bolting can be caused by growing in the wrong season (early or late planting), extreme weather such as a long, hot summer or cold spring or by planting in loose soil. Keep the soil and roots cool during hot weather. Try shading, watering regularly and mulching to preserve water.[2]

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin South, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, has urged Christians in public positions to serve the country conscientiously and selflessly, with integrity and the fear of God.
That, he said, would help ameliorate the menace of corruption and black magic often perceived to be associated with politics in the country and in Africa as a whole.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic in Accra last Tuesday, Rev. Fordjour, who is the Senior Pastor of Victory Bible Church International (VBCI), East Legon branch, indicated that regardless of the seemingly volatile nature of Ghanaian politics, manifesting the tenets of a true Christian in politics was possible.
He said although African politics in recent times had been perceived as characterised by corruption and the use of black magic (juju), he took pride in the election of God-fearing President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the appointment of the Speaker of Parliament, Professor Mike Aaron Ocquaye.
The pastor legislator also cited the election of Rev. Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as an example.
Mr Ntim Fordjour's profile
Mr Fordjour, 30, succeeded Prof. Dominic Kwaku Fobih as the new MP for the Assin South Constituency.
He holds a Bachelor's degree in Mineral Engineering from the University of Mines & Technology, Tarkwa and a Master of Arts (MA) degree in Economic Policy Management from the University of Ghana. He is currently a PhD Political Science student at the University of Ghana.
Mr Fordjour founded his first business at age 20, employing 120 skilled and semi-skilled staff at age 25 and is currently running 15 operating firms and delivering value-adding services across various sectors of the economy.
He has a multi-disciplinary background of Mineral Engineering, Human Resources Management and Economic Policy Management. With a successful management-level corporate experience in a blue-chip mining firm, he served as Human Resources Superintendent at age 24 with Gold Fields Ghana Ltd, Tarkwa Gold Mine.
After nearly a decade of dedicated service in VBCI as Church Administrator, Elder and Youth Pastor respectively, Mr Fordjour currently serves as Senior Pastor of VBCI - Higher Heights Sanctuary, East Legon, since 2014.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Saint Leo baseball piled on seven runs in the top of the ninth inning and rolled to a 12-6 win over Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on Friday night at Sliwa Stadium, to open the teams' three-game weekend series.
Saint Leo improves to 15-14 overall with the win, while Sunshine State Conference provisional member Embry-Riddle tumbles to 10-21 overall. The Lions and the Eagles will conclude the series on Saturday at Sliwa Stadium with a doubleheader starting at 1:00 p.m.
The Lions chalked up just three hits in their seven-run uprising in the ninth to bust open what had been a 5-4 ballgame.
Saint Leo took advantage of a costly two-run Eagle error at short with bases loaded and none out to push across the first two Saint Leo runs of the ninth inning. Four walks issued by Embry-Riddle pitchers during the frame – two of those with bases loaded – furthered the Saint Leo cause, with the Lions plating two more runs on an RBI single by Chase Turner and a sacrifice fly to right by Lane Stancil.
Embry-Riddle countered with a pair of runs in the bottom of the ninth to cut the margin to 12-6, but Saint Leo reliever Jordan Pendleton induced a fly out to center field to end the game with bases loaded for the Eagles.
Saint Leo posted two runs in the first inning on two runs and a pair of Embry-Riddle errors, then extended its lead to 4-1 with two more runs in the top of the second. Alex Mata singled through the right side for the Lions' two runs in the second inning, plating Stancil and Derek Gibree.
Embry-Riddle trimmed Saint Leo's lead to 4-3 in the bottom of the third inning, when Jonathan Camp sent a two-run single down the right field line.
The Lions got one of those runs back in the fourth – again off the bat of Mata, who laced a single through the left side to score Gibree. From there, the score remained unchanged for the next three innings with neither side able to get a runner past second in the fifth, sixth, or seventh.
Harris accounted for three of Saint Leo's 12 hits during the game, and crossed twice for the Lions. Stancil, Mata, Turner, and Shane Williams each had two hits, with Mata logging three runs batted in.
Saint Leo starter Tyler Bauman fanned nine Embry-Riddle batters over 6 2/3 innings of work to get the win, improving his record to 3-0.
For Embry-Riddle, Luis Olivier charted three hits in four at bats, while Camp and Kyle Guttveg each finished with two hits. Starter Matthew Russell yielded five runs, three earned, on nine hits on his way to the loss.

During the past week, five events in two countries caused me to think about lane position and discipline.
The incidents
1. East of Los Angeles on the twisty Azusa Canyon Road in the San Gabriel Mountains. I was following a really old Toyota Camry with four young people in it. The driver continually and deliberately cut corners by driving across the other lane.
2. The next day on Route 95 outside of Missoula, Mont., a young lady at the wheel of a fairly new Dodge minivan kept dropping one wheel off the shoulder.
3. I obtained first-hand experience with the lane-monitoring system in the upcoming 2012 Mercedes ML350 SUV.
4. Two days later on the drive home from the airport, I was behind an older Honda Accord being driven by an adult male who repeatedly crowded the centre line, only to pull back sharply when an approaching vehicle got close.
5. The fifth was the report in the newspaper of a deadly crash in which one vehicle was witnessed "wandering" into the path of oncoming traffic.
The reasons
1. The first situation was a deliberate attempt to shorten the distance travelled, to straighten out a relentlessly twisty piece of road. There can be no argument that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Nor that the best line around a race tack involves an apex in the middle or a corner and using all of the road when entering the corner and accelerating out to the opposite edge when leaving the corner.
But this does not apply on public roads where lane markings are used for a number of purposes, chief among them separating vehicles travelling in opposite directions. The young driver in this case was caught out by an oncoming vehicle mid-corner. Each time this happened, he would jump on the brakes and steer sharply back into his lane.
2. This was clearly a case of inattention or distraction. As we pulled alongside while passing on a four-lane section, I could see the lady talking – whether to someone on the other end of a hands-free call or one of the two youngsters in car seats in the second row.
The driver was resting her left hand on the window sill with her right at the 3 o'clock position on the steering wheel. Each time her attention wandered from the task of driving safely, the unbalanced position of the right hand naturally pulled down, causing the vehicle to pull to the right and onto the shoulder. The resulting noise and vibration were a wake-up call.
3. The lane monitoring system has become rather common in luxury cars. These systems use cameras to watch the vehicle's position within parallel lane markings and warn the driver when he has wandered outside the lane, unless he or she has signalled first, indicating an intention to move out of the lane.
The most recent version I have driven – in the 2012 Mercedes ML350 – is the best yet. The company calls its Active Lane Keeping Assist. If you should start to move out of that lane without signalling, the system will shake the steering wheel. The vibration is impossible to ignore. If the vehicle continues on its wayward course, the system can selectively apply the brakes on one inboard wheel to pull the car back into the lane.
4. That is exactly what I wanted to do to the driver of the Accord who kept wandering over the centre line and the back into the lane in front of me – pull him back. On two occasions, like the young Camry driver in California, he was surprised by oncoming traffic.
5. The crash might well have been caused by inattention, distraction or the driver falling asleep. The driver in the No. 4 situation could well have ended the same way. Both situation show the importance of staying within your lane.
The lesson
We learn about lanes in driving school, their purposes and the danger of forgetting that one of them is to create and maintain a safe distance between vehicles travelling in opposite directions.
In this day of multiple lanes, choosing the correct lane becomes a critical factor, not only with respect to safe driving, but also progress.
