Game Notes
Since it was the week before Easter, several players were out-of-town and unable to attend this session. The players of Chef, Shiellapho, and Tarryn did not participate.
Session Summary
After defeating the crazed bandits, the party loaded some handcarts with Wyndell's stolen goods (and a bound, unconscious crazy man) and began the trip back to Hommel Lane. The bandit prisoners provided menial labor for the task. It was an uneventful trip, with no sign of the bandits who had fled the previous night. The group decided to enter town in a round-about way to avoid passing the trading post before reaching the constable. Instead of entering along the north road, the party entered from the east.
They immediately stopped at the constable's quarters, a nondescript wooden building with heavy shutters and a sturdy door. Constable Ruskal listened to their story and agreed to lock-up their prisoners for trial. However, he wasn't certain that he was the best person to have custody of the crazed, potentially possessed, prisoner. He suggested that the prisoner be kept at the temple with Sir Moonbrook, but the party insisted and he relented (locking the maniac in his own cell). He then went with the group to investigate the involvement of Gremag and Raynen Daval with the bandits. (Martiris noticed a wariness in the constable's eyes and a slight hesitation on his part to investigate the traders, but with the testimony found in the bandit's journal, he had no choice.)
The group found Gremag and Raynen at the trading post, along with three workers. Gremag loudly proclaimed their innocence and suggested that the whole idea was some sort of frame to hurt an important business for the town. However, several crates of Wyndell's goods were found during a search of the trader's warehouse. This discovery broke Raynen Daval's silence and she admitted to working with the bandits. Once the dam was opened, her words did not stop. She confessed that Gremag and she had even visited the bandit headquarters at the old moat house. They had met the leader of a cult, Lareth the Beautiful, as well as the bandit leader, Enda Yate. Lareth had tasked the traders with obtaining more robes for his people. In fact, several robes were currently in a crate in the warehouse. When pressed by Brother Edmund, Raynen remembered over-hearing a word whispered by Lareth to bypass the magical wall as he left their meeting to return to his dungeon lair: "Annihilation."
With all the found evidence and confession from Raynen, Constable Ruskal arrested the traders and their hirelings. The party escorted the constable and his new prisoners back to his quarters, where they were locked up alongside the bandits.
At this time, Chef took her leave of the group, wishing them good fortune as she went on her way to find the Inn of the Winsome Wench. That was the place that had hired her as a cook. The party decided to allow her to discover state of the abandoned inn on her own and only voiced their goodbyes as she left.
The heroes then went to Wyndell's home to give him the good news (and deliver his carts of goods). Wyndell was happy to see the group and even happier to see his goods. Brother Edmund explained that even more of his stolen goods had been left at the moat house and asked that Wyndell bring a couple of wagons with the group the next day to retrieve them. Wyndell readily agreed and then rewarded the characters with 20 gold pieces each for their hard work.
Honourable Martiris mentioned to Wyndell his concern that there could be problems with the bandit prisoners. (He just didn't trust that look he had seen in the constable's eyes – Ed.) He asked Wyndell to arrange for his oldest son to watch the constable's quarters that night. If the halfling saw anything amiss, he should immediately report to Martiris. Wyndell agreed and told them his son, Murve, would be there.
The heroes left Wyndell with his goods and decided to visit Castellan Zaborr. (Fortunately without Shiellapho, who retired to the Golden Grain Inn to ponder the mystery of the magical wall with his guide, Tarryn.)(After his last visit, Shiellapho was not well liked by the castellan. – Ed.) Honourable Martiris wanted to inform him of what they had discovered about the bandits. With the nobleman in the lead, the party was allowed entry into the keep and after only 30 minutes, they were seen by the castellan. He was very interested in their tale and glad that they had brought justice to the thieves. At prompting from Honourable Martiris, Castellan Zaborr even promised to write a proclamation of the group's deeds and have it posted in town.
During their conversation, the castellan also asked Honourable Martiris if he had received the message from Lord Burne. Martiris had not since the note was delivered only the day before to the Golden Grain Inn. Castellan Zaborr paraphrased the message for Martiris, explaining that the lord had sent his apologies for not meeting Matiris personally but was occupied with important local matters. A wine bottle of excellent vintage accompanied the note.
Wishing to taste this wine, Honourable Martiris ended his meeting with Castellan Zaborr and the party walked over to the Golden Grain Inn. They all enjoyed a hearty meal, and Martiris even shared a small amount of his wine. Brother Edmund soon left the festivities to inform Sister Devi of the cursed prisoner being held by the constable. She was very interested upon hearing this news and immediately left the temple to investigate.
Later in the evening, Shiellapho, Tarryn, and Tawnka entertained the crowd for their rooms as usual. All the patrons enjoyed the show, including Chef, who had eventually arrived at the Golden Grain Inn after finding the Inn of the Winsome Wench abandoned. She was a little down that she no longer had a job waiting on her. She took a room at the inn and discussed the possibility of moving on since no one in Hommel Lane seemed to have need for a cook.
Early the next morning, Martiris was awakened by a commotion outside. Seeing villagers running past his window, the nobleman hailed one and learned that a fire was burning at the Becker dairy farm. Honourable Martiris dressed and sent Kevin to fetch the priests at the temple in case there were injuries. Stepping outside his room, Martiris bumped into Tawnka and the two set off for the dairy farm. They saw no need to awaken Shiellapho or Tarryn for a fire.
When Martiris and Tawnka reached the farm, they found many townsfolk working to put out a blaze in one of the farm's barns. Others were attempting to corral the livestock that had escaped the fire. Constable Ruskal was there organizing the effort. The pair spoke to the constable for a moment and were shocked to learn that he had left his prisoners unattended while dealing with the fire. They were even more shocked a moment later when they bumped into Murve; he had abandoned his watch post to join the bucket brigade. Honourable Martiris asked him to direct the priests to the constable's quarters when they arrived. He and Tawnka then raced away to check on the prisoners.
They found the door ajar when they reached the constable's quarters and almost all of the cells were empty. The mad bandit was still tied in his cell and unfortunately, the body of Raynen Daval was hanging in her cell. Martiris found the keys to the cells in the constable's desk and entered the madman's cell. He hoped to learn something useful from the maniac's rambling, but had to simply focus on not being bitten when he removed the man's gag. He eventually gave up and left the cell.
Tawnka and Martiris were exiting the building when Brother Edmund and Brother Carell arrived. They explained the situation and Brother Edmund had an idea. As they attempted (unsuccessfully) to find the escaped prisoners' trail, Kevin was sent to find Druid Ashstaff. Kevin soon returned with the druid in tow. After explaining about the prisoners, Brother Edmund asked Druid Ashstaff if he could track them. The druid explained that he was an old man; he could follow their trail, but only at a speed which would insure their escape. Instead, he offered to call an ally. He howled into the night and an answering howl could be heard far in the distance. He said his ally was coming, but it might take some time. Honourable Martiris and Tawnka felt that time was of the essence so instead of waiting, the two immediately headed for the moat house ruins to the north.
After roughly 30 minutes, a wolf appeared under the shadows of some nearby trees. Druid Ashstaff went to speak with the animal for a few minutes and when he returned, he explained that the wolf had agreed to track the fugitives. Brother Edmund and Brother Carell followed the wolf for several miles to the east, but returned to town when the wolf seemed to lose the trail at the river.
By that time, dawn was approaching. The priests found the constable at his quarters arranging for the burial of Raynen Daval. He had heard that the priests were following the criminals' trail from Druid Ashstaff and was saddened to learn that the prisoners had escaped. Remembering the impression that Martiris had of the constable, the two priests were not convinced that Constable Ruskal had not been involved with the escape.
While Brother Carell went to awaken Shiellapho and Tarryn, Brother Edmund visited the keep, hoping to speak to the castellan about Constable Ruskal. Since it was so early in the day and Brother Edmund was without Honourable Martiris, he was not able to meet with Castellan Zaborr. However, he was granted an audience with the castellan's assistant, Rhonnet Gho. Brother Edmund explained the events of the night and his suspicions of the constable to Rhonnet, but since he had no evidence, there was little Rhonnet could do. However, she did warn Brother Edmund to be careful about accusations including the constable; Grover Ruskal was a trusted associate of Lord Burne and Lord Rufus from their adventuring days. Brother Edmund should have convincing evidence of duplicity before bringing up charges again.
When Brother Edmund left the keep, he hurried to the Golden Grain Inn to meet with Brother Carell, Shiellapho, and Tarryn. It was decided that the priests would travel with Wyndell back to the ruined moat house while Shiellapho, and Tarryn would attempt to gain access to the library of Lord Rufus. Shiellapho wanted to make doubly-sure that his conclusions about the magical wall were accurate. He and Tarryn would travel to the moat house afterward.
The priests rode with Wyndell and another of his wagon drivers to the moat house. When they arrived, they found Martiris and Tawnka enjoying a tasty lunch. Martiris and Tawnka had not seen any signs of the escaped prisoners during their trek or after arriving at the ruins.

okay okay I'm done with Layton comics ————————————————– I hope you like HIATUSES (I don't), because there sure will be one SOON

One puzzle early in the third game (Unwound Future) had me guess how many siblings a family had, and the three siblings (not addressed with gender pronouns, ie "Sibling A, B, […]

If Scott Saunders shrugs when you ask him what his outdoor art installation symbolizes, he's only asking you to make up your own mind.
"People only feel comfortable when they're told what to think," says Scott (BFA 2008), as we stand at the corner of Prince and Argyle Streets overlooking his work, Town Square, in the vacant lot where the Chronicle Herald offices used to be and the new convention centre is slated to go.
"I think it's boring to be told what something is supposed to be. It robs art of its mystery and its essence. Anyway, people relate to it in many different ways and I'm interested in all those different interpretations."
Town Square consists of a series of life-size figures dressed in white shirts and dark business attire. The figures take many different poses—bent over, lying down, stretched out, climbing fences, curled up—as they appear throughout the downtown lot. The piece is ever changing as Scott moves around figures, reposes them and adds new ones. The installation looks different depending on the time of day or what the weather's like. Eventually there will be 100 of the figures, which look eerily human despite their Styrofoam heads and stick arms and legs.
Are they businessmen done in by the rat race? The ghosts of Chronicle Herald reporters? Well-to-do zombies? No, definitely not boring. At any given time, you can spot someone peering through the fence with a quizzical look on their face as if to say, "What the?"
Scott first started creating Town Square, made possible through a grant he received through HRM Cultural Affairs, back in November. At first, he had four figures, arranged in stretched out positions throughout the large lot. By the next morning, the figures had been dragged to the edge of the lot by someone unknown. But he persevered, adding a few more figures at a time. There are about 75 there now.
He still can't believe he's been able to create it right in the heart of downtown, with the developer, the Downtown Halifax Business Commission and the city all onside. The site has a rawness combined with an amphitheatre-like quality that appeals to him. Throughout its temporary existence, he'll be documenting Town Square and its inhabitants. The installation is likely to last until spring, when construction on the convention centre is expected to begin.
"I feel like I'm a painter in three dimensions, creating this composition on a mass scale," says Scott. "I think it shows us that this city has all the ingredients you need to do really fantastic things if you're willing to create your own opportunities."

Stephanie Valcarcel and Brian Loja said they didn't intentionally choose 12/12/12 as their wedding date, but they consider it a sign of good luck.
"We didn't realize it was 12/12/12 until some of our friends pointed it out," Valcarcel said a few hours after tying the knot at Greenburgh Town Hall. "We just got really excited."
The Hawthorne couple made it official on Wednesday's synchronous date, an alignment that inspired behavior both hopeful and fearful -- aside from Wednesday's marriages, people lined up to purchase lottery tickets, looked to psychics and numerologists for meaning and stocked up on supplies in anticipation of a world-ending cataclysm.
Lisa Lyon, a producer for the popular late-night talk show "Coast to Coast AM," is quick to point out that 12/12/12 is not the much talked-about "end of the world" Mayan calendar date that's inspired movies and conspiracy theories. That's the 21st.
But Lyon, whose show deals with supernatural phenomena and conspiracy theories, said people still attach significance to the day.
"Today's numbers are all about synchronicity, and people get nervous when things like dates and planets line up, as if some undefined gravity is going to pull us over the edge of an abyss or something bizarre like that," Lyon told Newsday.
Others see the synchronous date as an auspicious time to launch new ventures, said numerologist Glynis McCants.
That's the thinking behind Wednesday night's "12-12-12: The Concert for Sandy Relief" at Madison Square Garden, where musicians like Roger Waters, The Rolling Stones, Alicia Keys, Billy Joel and Kanye West will take the stage to raise money for hurricane victims.
New York Lotto also has a drawing Wednesday evening, and though the $9.8 million jackpot falls short of the numerical mark, it's a safe bet more than a few players will look to strike it big by playing the number 12.
McCants said she has heard from "several hundred" people inquiring about the day's numerical significance, as well as brides-to-be asking her if the date is auspicious for weddings. The author of "Love by the Numbers" said she believes the symmetrical date is a good day for people to start projects or pursue dreams.
"Let's say you wanted to write a book. Today would be a great day to write an outline. If you wanted to start a business, today would be a great day to file your corporation paperwork," McCants said. "It's a very powerful day."

Flu pill 'could bring relief'
Flu costs Britain over Ł6bn a year in days off work
A new pill which attacks the virus which causes flu could reduce the number of days a person is ill and the severity of their symptoms.
A cure for the most common strains of flu has been one of the Holy Grails of medicine.
The virus affects four to 15% of Britons under 20 every year. Around 150m working days a year are lost because of flu, at a cost of Ł6.75bn.
Until now, there have only been vaccines against flu and medicines to reduce the symptoms, such as sore throats and fever.
But drug manufacturer F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd and biotechnology firm Gilmead Sciences Inc. have come up with a drug which attacks the virus itself.
The drug, called GS4104, was tested in two trials: one on 629 patients in the USA and the other on 719 patients in Europe, Canada and China.
The drug reduced the number of days the Americans were sick by 33% and made their symptoms 40% less severe.
It also halved the risk of developing secondary infections such as bronchitis in people who were originally healthy.
The Europeans, Canadians and Chinese were ill for 30% less time and their symptoms were 25% less strong.
Enzyme blocking
The researchers say it is impossible to completely eradicate the virus once a person is infected.
This is because the flu virus mutates very fast, becoming resistant to treatments.
GS4104 works by blocking an enzyme in the flu virus so that it cannot infect new cells.
Researchers will present their findings on the drug, which has passed through the last tests it needs before it seeks regulatory approval, at an American Society of Microbiology meeting in San Diego on Friday.
Glaxo Wellcome will also tell the meeting about its flu drug Zanamivir, which works in a similar way to GS4104, but is used with an inhaler.

Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
What Form?
Our homestead is in my wife's name only. What form would I use to show me as joint owner?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: What Form?
First off, don't use a "form" to do this, you're dealing with what is likely a significant asset. Please seek professional advice, you'd be pleasantly surprised how inexpensive legal advice can be for these types of transactions. That being said, there are two items that you need to consider when dealing with a parcel of real property--the mortgage and the title.
Title deals with ownership, while the mortgage deals with the obligation to pay. In most cases, you cannot add someone to the payment obligation without the permission of the mortgage company. You can change the title, however, provided that the mortgage company doesn't have a "due on sale" provision in their documents. (If they do, then you'll need to get written permission from them.)
Anyway, you can add a spouse to the title and mortgage by refinancing, or you can add the spouse to the title only by having a deed drawn up to transfer a fractional interest and filing it with the appropriate county clerk.

JP Szaszkiewicz was the first of what the Oil Kings hope to be many heroes.
The local product potted a miracle goal with less than one second left on the clock last night as the new WHL team skated to a 4-3 win over the Kootenay Ice in its inaugural regular season game.
Szaszkiewicz chased a puck down in the corner and, with the clock running out, threw it on net. The puck deflected off a Kootenay stick and trickled past Ice goaltender Kris Lazaruk with less than a second left as the crowd went wild.
"I don't think I could have asked for more of a perfect way to cap off tonight," said Szaszkiewicz.
"Guys like Karey Pieper and I are going to work hard every night and the young guys followed tonight. Hopefully I can score a few nicer ones than I did tonight, but that's how I score goals - I work hard in the corners and go hard to the net."
The electricity during the pre-game festivities carried over for the Edmonton Oil Kings in the opening minutes of the game.
Fighting nerves and jitters, they came out flying and cashed in on just their second shot in franchise history when Brandon Lockerby banged in a loose puck from the slot.
The Ice's experience helped them wrest control back. After pressuring Edmonton, Ice player Arnaud Jacquemet got the visitors even at the 18:30 mark of the first period when he blistered a shot past Oil Kings goalie Alex Archibald.
Archibald faced 12 first period shots and made some key saves in close to keep in tied after 20 minutes.
"I was proud of how the guys were able to stay focused. I think getting that first goal was a big sigh of relief and it allowed us to play a simple straight forward game," said Oil Kings head coach Steve Pleau.
Kootenay took a 2-1 lead when second year forward Kevin King tallied his second point of the hockey game, chipping in a nice rebound from a Michael Stickland shot on the power play.
"I thought honestly JP (Szaszkiewicz) was the best player on the ice tonight," said Pleau.
"His work ethic and his second effort and his competitiveness was some of the best I have ever seen."
With the Oil Kings on a 4-on-3 advantage in the second period, reigning Saskatchewan Midget AAA scoring champion Craig McCallum tipped in a hard pass from defenceman Cameron Cepek to tie it at 2-2.
The Ice took the lead late in the second period when defenceman Chad Greenan pounced on a Clayton Cumiskey failed clearing attempt. His point shot found its way through traffic beating Archibald at the 15:27 mark.
"There were some ups and down and at times we gave the puck up too much, but I was happy how we handled it," said Pleau.
Brett Breitkreuz tied the game again at 8:34 of the third, jumping on a rebound off a Michael Hengen shot.
"Our goals were a result of going hard to the net and getting our hands dirty and the goals may have been greasy, but we'll take 'em," said Pleau.

Decentralization, Fiscal Discipline in Sub-National Governments and the Bailout Problem: The Case of Argentina
This paper examines the determinants of fiscal performance of sub-national governments in Argentina. This will be done through analysis and examination of the overall regime of incentives, through an analysis of salient episodes of `bailout` and through cross-sectional empirical analysis. The bailout episodes to be analyzed will include mostly those that occurred in the relationship between the national and provincial governments. Of primary interest will be the process that caused the crises and how both the provinces and the federal government reacted, with an emphasis on the incentives and constraints each faced. The paper will also try to explain the actual form that the bailout takes. The empirical analysis will emphasize those determinants of bailout related to the institutional design of intergovernmental fiscal institutions. Thus, the study will have direct implications regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the current institutional framework in generating sound fiscal behavior by the different levels of government.

TONY-winning playwright John Logan is at work on a onewoman show about Hollywood super-agent Sue Mengers, who died last year.
And he wants Bette Midler to play her.
Midler hasn't done a Broadway show in years. Her last appearance was in "Bette! Divine Madness" at the Majestic in 1979. Midler aficionados, however, think her best show was the "Clams on the Half Shell Revue," which played 80 performances at the Minskoff in 1975, with some snappy jokes by a young Bruce Vilanch.
Midler was a producer of "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" last year, and I'm told she's been eyeing a Broadway comeback. At one point, she was in discussions with the Nederlanders to do a musical revue.
She's interested in Logan's play — as yet untitled — because, says a source, "a one-person show isn't as risky as shouldering a big musical."
That — and the fact that Mengers is a hell of a character.
She was brazen and hilarious, rolling into Hollywood "like a tank," as she once said, and lining up a galaxy of star clients in the 1970s — Michael Caine, Faye Dunaway, Candice Bergen, Nick Nolte, Burt Reynolds, Steve McQueen.
Logan's been interviewing many of them for his play. So has Brian Kellow, who's at work on her biography.
I had lunch yesterday at Michael's with the ever-dapper theatrical agent Lionel Larner. He worked with Mengers at the beginning of their careers at the legendary agency Baum and Newborn.
"She had more balls than any of the guys in the office," Larner says. She was the receptionist, though she passed herself off as a top-tier agent.
The producer Billy Rose once met her at a party and took a fancy to her. She told him she was an agent at the Baum-Newborn Agency. He called her up there and, being the receptionist, she answered the phone.
"I'd like to speak to Sue Mengers," he said.
"Please hold." She waited a few seconds. "Sue Mengers' office," she said. "Just a moment, please." She got back on the phone and made a date.
At the time she was living in a boarding house. But she told Rose she lived at the Hampshire House.
"I'll send my car to pick you up," he said.
"I'll be waiting in the lobby," she replied. She borrowed a friend's fur coat, and was off and running.
Another great story — insider-y, but I'll explain.
She went to Fire Island to stay at composer Jerry Herman's house. The "boys" went off to a tea dance, and, left on her own, she went skinny-dipping in the pool. Two people arrived, and she got out of the pool, zaftig, naked and dripping wet.
"I'm Flora Roberts," she said.
Now the explanation: Flora Roberts was another legendary agent who represented Stephen Sondheim. She was short, fat and gravelly voiced.
Mengers had a tough upbringing, which, I'm told, Logan explores in the play. She was born in Germany and arrived in Utica, NY, with her parents in 1938. Her father, a traveling salesman, committed suicide in the Times Square Hotel, and she moved to The Bronx with her mother.
Her escape from poverty and sadness was Broadway, where she saw all the great shows and performers in the '50s from the last row of the balcony.
"She was completely self-made," Larner says. "And absolutely fearless. Baum would fire her on Friday, and Newborn would hire her back on Monday. There are no characters like Sue anymore."
She was the inspiration for the tough-talking agent Dyan Cannon played in "The Last of Sheila," as well as the blowsy agent played by Shelley Winters in Blake Edwards' "S.O.B."
If any of you showbiz types out there have any more good stories about Mengers, send them my way, and I'll pass them on to Logan.
Let's hope his Sue Mengers is as funny as the real thing.

Notes: Giles returns to lineup
Notes: Giles returns to lineup
As it turned out, Black didn't have to endure an earful of lobbying on Giles' part, much as he did when he was with the Angles when a pitcher who had surpassed his usefulness and effectiveness tried to convince Black otherwise.
Really, all Giles had to do was tell Black how his bruised rib cage -- which had prevented him from playing for two days -- was feeling. After a three-way consultation with Padres trainer Todd Hutcheson, Giles was in the lineup Wednesday against the Nationals.
How's that for easy?
"Marcus and I talked this afternoon prior to posting the lineup," Black said. "The three of us [including Hutcheson], mainly Marcus, felt he was ready to go. In some situations, I place a lot of faith in the player because of our relationship. He felt he was ready to play."
Giles suffered the injury to his ribs on Sunday, two innings after he injured his right side when he broke up a double play. Giles subsequently had X-rays taken on his ribs, though they came back negative.
Giles was advised by Hutcheson that if he tried to come back too soon -- like Monday -- he could have injured the ribs even more, which could have led to a trip to the disabled list. Giles wanted none of that.
The Padres used Terrmel Sledge and Jose Cruz Jr. in the leadoff spot in the two games when Giles was absent. But it was evident Wednesday that Black was happy to get Giles back and have him hit at the top of the order, where he's hitting .327 this season.
"The medical department feels he's ready to go," Black said. "I feel very comfortable with that. And I trust Marcus. Players know what's at stake."
Sticking with Kouz : Padres general manager Kevin Towers said on Wednesday that the Padres will continue to invest their faith and playing time in rookie third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff.
Kouzmanoff, who drove in a run with a triple in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over the Nationals, entered Wednesday's season finale at PETCO Park hitting .122 in 74 at-bats with five RBIs. His RBI triple against the Nationals was just his second RBI since April 14.
There has been speculation that Kouzmanoff might lose playing time when veteran third baseman Russell Branyan comes off the bereavement list before Friday's series opener in Miami against the Marlins or, possibly, be sent to Triple-A Portland.
"I think he deserves a little more time," Towers said of Kouzmanoff. "It's always much more glaring the first month. If this was in August or September, no one would be talking about it. He's a new player who has started out slow. We have veterans who have started out slow."
Kouzmanoff surely isn't alone in his offensive struggles after the first month, as there are several other notable rookies who are off to slow starts, like Indians third baseman Andy Marte (.179, one home run, eight RBIs), Royals third baseman Alex Gordon (.167, two homers, five RBIs) and, of course, the player Towers traded to the Indians to get Kouzmanoff -- second baseman Josh Barfield (.154, one homer, nine RBIs).
"I think if he would have had a bad spring as well ... but he swung the bat well in Spring Training," Towers said. "I would be much more concerned if I never saw [Kouzmanoff hit]. But I saw he was able to make adjustments. I think it's going to happen here."
And what if Kouzmanoff's bat doesn't respond in the foreseeable future?
"We're certainly not going to drive him into the ground," Towers said. "There ultimately comes a time when you have to do what's best for your club. But I don't think we are at that point now."
Pads and ends: The three catchers on the San Diego roster -- Josh Bard, Rob Bowen and Pete Laforest -- spent the time before batting practice Wednesday plying their trade, working on balls in the dirt and throws to second base. Black called the session "general maintenance." ... Minor League pitching prospect Cesar Carrillo will miss the rest of the season and likely will need Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery to repair a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, the Padres confirmed Wednesday. The Padres said Carrillo also will seek a second opinion. Carrillo was 0-2 with an 8.62 ERA in 14 2/3 innings with Triple-A Portland. ... Of the Padres' 13 losses this season, five have been by one run.
On deck: The Padres are off Thursday. They'll open a three-game series Friday in Miami against the Marlins. Greg Maddux (2-2, 3.86 ERA) will get the start. The Marlins will counter with Dontrelle Willis (5-1, 5.35 ERA) in a 4:05 p.m. PT game.

Analysts are beginning to claim that the position of power forward is a misnomer in today's game. Also known as the four man, these forwards are primarily face-up players with games that tend to be based more on finesse than power. Make no mistake about it, the three power forwards on the Rivals.com Elite Team have plenty of power to their game, but also a lot more.
For Hickson, the term power forward fits perfectly. It is not that Hickson can't dribble or shoot the ball from the outside. It is more that Hickson's game is based on power. No matter where he catches or rebounds the ball, Hickson is attacking the rim.
Hickson is most dangerous when he catches the ball in the low post. He specializes in taking the ball one direction with a power dribble and then quickly spinning back with a forceful pivot to the basket. Whenever the spin is overplayed, he will fake the change of direction and finish with a smooth jump hook.
With range out to 17 feet, Hickson is capable of knocking down the jumper - but his first love is to slash to the rim.
As Hickson progresses, he will need to add a little more finesse to his game – both as a perimeter player handling the ball and as a defender who is more aware of positioning. Hickson's competitive nature provides a great base with which to work.
Capable of playing a power game around the basket, Patterson also has a smooth fluidity to his game. Besides being a terror around the basket and a productive offensive rebounder, Patterson runs the floor like a fleet-footed wing player.
With an old-school approach to the game, Patterson runs just as hard toward the defensive end as he runs to the offensive end. Defensively, he not only controls his man but does an excellent job contributing away from the ball as a helpside shot blocker.
Offensively, Patterson is a force in the high post. Not only does he shoot the ball extremely well from the 17-foot range, but he also has terrific instincts and touch as a passer. He knows how to make the high/low feed into the post and find the shooter spotting up on the opposite wing.
From that high post position, Patterson can also finish off the two-man game with the best of them. He can pop off the ball screen and knock down jumpers or roll to the basket and finish with authority in the paint.
In the end, Patterson very well might be that combo forward who is just as effective on the wing as he is in the high or low post.
Beasley's skill set offers the best of both worlds - a forward who can both overpower opponents in the lane and outmaneuver defenders with skill and quickness.
Not only does Beasley shoot the ball with range beyond the 3-point line, he also separates himself from Patterson and Hickson with his ballhandling skills. Beasley is not just a two dribble slasher to the basket. He is the type of player who can shake a defender with a crossover dribble and then hop back for a fadeaway jumper.
Whereas Patterson passes the ball with authority from the high post, Beasley is a threat to get an assist from anywhere on the court. Most impressive is his ability to shake and bake with the ball on the dribble and then suddenly find an open teammate with a pass.
Despite all the craftiness to his game, there is also the pure power and athleticism that can result in crushing dunks off drives to the basket. Beasley is also proficient at spinning to the baseline after sealing his man in the low post. As an opportunistic scorer, Beasley also makes a living crashing the offensive boards.
With the strength of a bull and the feet of a gazelle, Beasley is the type of offensive player who can take advantage of any type of matchup.

Dell's bid represented an 87% premium on 3PAR's previous closing stock price. HP's offer Monday jumped the price another 40%. The bid is a sign HP remains strategically active despite the resignation of CEO Mark Hurd earlier this month. CFO Cathie Lesjak is serving as acting CEO until a fulltime replacement is found.
Why is 3PAR so attractive? Its expertise in cloud computing is one reason, of course, but the firm's thin provisioning approach, which treats storage as a utility is also popular among IT users.
In making its "Superior Proposal" bid, HP said its offer has been approved by its board of directors and is not subject to any additional internal approvals.
"There are unparalleled strategic benefits to be gained by combining the two organizations," said Shane Robison, HP's executive vice president and chief strategy and technology officer, in a letter to 3Par management. "HP is uniquely positioned to capitalize on 3PAR's next-generation storage technology by utilizing our global reach and superior routes to market to deliver 3PAR's products to customer around the world."
Dell said it was attracted to 3PAR's thin provisioning and virtualization technologies, which it indicated overcome the limitations of traditional modular and monolithic arrays.
HP's offer also involves Dave Donatelli, general manager of HP's enterprise servers, storage and networking unit. Donatelli is a former high-ranking executive at EMC. When Donatelli left EMC amid poaching recriminations, he was isolated from carrying out storage activities at HP, but his time in the penalty box is over and he is back in storage with a vengeance.
HP said it hopes to close a deal with 3PAR by the end of the year. HP has increasingly been adding storage as it competes more aggressively in data centers with Cisco and Cisco's main storage partner, EMC.
Last week, 3PAR's chief executive David Scott said a 3PAR-Dell partnership would be a good fit, because Dell's distribution network would complement 3PAR's storage solutions.


text: Everybody knows neck dive. For the first time ever, I have a bass that does the opposite. It's a Fender Blacktop Precision body combined with a maple/maple Warmoth Jazz neck with Hipshot Ultralights. Strapped over my shoulders, this bass actually balances in such a way that the neck just floats there. And it's no feather (a little less than 10 pounds). It just feels so unusual because I've grown so used to necks that want to dive, even if it's only a tiny bit. It alters the ergonomics of playing in a noticeable way. Does anyone have any experience with this? Just curious.

Q. Our company is considering anti-harassment training for all employees. Some managers and executive are concerned that this will stir up lawsuits. Do you recommend such training?
A. Yes. Educating employees about what constitutes harassment will hopefully prevent employees from engaging in behaviors that they may not have realized are inappropriate.
The training should also advise employees about what to do if they feel harassed.
Although it might also lead employees to challenge inappropriate behavior, it is helpful in defending a harassment claim to show that employees were trained on the employer's intolerance of harassment and on the employer's anti-harassment policy. (If you don't already have such a policy, you should develop one.) Training should be conducted for all new hires and for all employees annually.

US Senator Herb Kohl plans to speak with Janesville Rotary members Monday.
Meetings and protests about health care reform have drawn a bit of attention in recent days, and that's the topic Kohl plans to tackle as he makes a stop at Rotary Botanical Gardens Monday. Kohl is also scheduled to discuss federal funding in the FY10 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Bill for Blackhawk Technical College. That funding would provide tuition and books so workers in Rock County can train for new careers.
He is scheduled to speak at noon.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: Pickens beats Cedartown, 56-33
A slow offensive start doomed the Cedartown Lady Bulldogs Friday during a Region 7-AAAA, sub-region 'A' game.
Playing at home against Pickens, the Lady Bulldogs managed only two first quarter points while falling behind by double digits en route to losing 56-33.
Cedartown (2-14 overall, 0-4 sub-region) scored the first points of the game after nearly two minutes had went by in the first quarter when Arkeria Boozer converted a fastbreak lay-up.
However, Pickens responded with a quick bucket. The Dragonettes then began to press the Lady Bulldogs and that ignited a 10-0 Pickens run.
Cedartown head coach Johna Tidwell called a timeout, but that did little to slow down Pickens. The Dragonettes came out of the timeout and scored the final six points of the opening period to stretch their lead to 16-2.
Boozer scored eight points in the second quarter for Cedartown, but it was not enough to keep the Lady Bulldogs close as they fell behind 36-16 at the break.
Pickens (12-8, 4-0) outscored Cedartown 15-4 in the third quarter to take a 51-20 lead into the final period of play.
Cedartown did outscored the Dragonettes 13-5 in a shortened fourth period due to the Georgia High School Association's mercy rule.
Boozer led the Lady Bulldogs with 19 points. Morgan Gore added six.

UPDATE: Deutsche Bank Initiates Coverage on Phillips 66
According to a research report published this morning, Deutsche Bank has initiated Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) with a Hold rating and $37 PT.
In the report, Deutsche Bank said, "To anybody who is still unaware of the mega-shifts underway in US oil markets, witness the acquisition of century-old Sunoco by a natural gas pipeline company, the day before an Oklahoma refining name starts trading as a standalone company using an 85 year old brand. Although we see this as a premium refiner to direct comp Valero, with NGL gathering & chemicals growth and an MLP kicker, we have a cautious 12 month view on refining, and with valuation on the When-Issued stock looking generous at 4.5x 2013e EBITDA vs the independent refining group at 3.8x, 8.2x P/E vs group at 7.9x P/E, we struggle to find 20%+ upside, and initiate with HOLD and a $37 PT."

Taking Stock / A Populist Attack
In the last month, the public debate in Israel on the financial crisis has sunk to a new low. The various interested parties understand the basic economics perfectly well, but will stop at nothing to push the regulator, or harness the taxpayer, for their own gain. And just as in our bond market, where everything has turned into junk, thus new trash talk has arisen in the capital market, characterized by the following type of questions.
Is the Bachar reform to blame for the crisis?
Some say the whole problem in Israel is the fault of Joseph Bachar, for forcing the banks to sell their provident and mutual funds.
We would like to point out that 50 stock markets around the world lost more than 50% of their value in the last year. This crisis is wholly imported. It is Made in Somewhere Else. Also, most of the foreign pension funds have lost 20% to 30% of their assets in the last year, but out there, they understand the rules, and know that in the market, one day you gain, one day you lose. Nobody has been asking governments to bail out the pensions sector, except here.
If the banks had controlled the funds, it wouldn't have happened
Three points:
1 The companies whose bonds are trading at yields of 20% or 50% to maturity usually owe even more to the banks than they do to bondholders. The chances that the hidden bank loans will be repaid in full are not always greater than the chances that the debt to bondholders will be repaid in full.
2 The market caps of most of Israel's banks are now at about half their equity, in most cases, precisely because of all those outstanding illiquid loans. A bank share trading at half or a third of the bank's equity per share is also a kind of junk security.
3 Please note the performance of the few provident funds that remained in bank hands until the last few months. Wonder of wonders - they had the same proportion of high-risk assets as the funds taken over by non-bank companies.
Who will manage our long-term savings?
Some argue that it doesn't matter whether a provident fund or pension fund is managed by a bank or somebody else, the main thing is that they shouldn't invest in the capital market. They should continue to buy designated treasury bonds assuring interest of 5.25% a year, as was the practice 20 years ago.
Terrific idea. Let the government handle all long-term savings. Companies and managers wanting to raise money will kindly make an appointment with the accountant-general in Jerusalem, or at the Ministry of Industry and Trade, stand in line, and receive their funding, maybe. This will work fine.
The capital market needs a safety net
Now we're told that the government has to lay out a safety net for the provident funds. Or that it should buy the wilting corporate bonds.
But who's suggesting that? Pensioners? Of course not - their voice isn't being heard.
That's the proposal of the big boys on the capital market, the ones who made money hand over fist the year before and the year before, because it's a free market, isn't it.
I want to expand on that proposal, with your permission. Subsidizing or rescuing long-term savings vehicles of any type means, that at this time, neutralizing all or part of the risk factor from those vehicles.
Neutralizing the risk factor, ladies and gentlemen, is the silent enemy, the enemy one can't see, but it will wipe out the capital market in Israel and sow the seeds of the next crisis.
Neutralizing risk means rewarding all the people who don't deserve reward.
It is a reward to the controlling shareholders and to the managers who gambled and leveraged the companies, using money raised from the public. It is a reward for people who paid themselves sky-high salaries based on fictitious profits that disappeared this year, or will disappear next year.
It is a reward to the institutional investors who bought the risky corporate bonds without demanding a margin (spread) reflecting the true dimensions of the risk. It is a reward to the institutional investors whose performance doesn't justify the high management fees they take.
Neutralizing risk at this time would be a reward for the pension managers who didn't warn their aging clients about the risks to which they were exposed. A reward for the regulators who didn't warn the public, and left hundreds of thousands of people in shock and pain.
The greatest danger in a "safety net," or direct intervention in the provident funds market, isn't just the tens of billions of shekels it could cost the taxpayer. It is that it would eradicate the market's mechanism of punishment. If the ones who took the risks and behaved irresponsibly aren't punished, we can rest assured of another crisis in a few years' time. We can be sure that these people who lost all that money will lose the lesson, too.
So should the state sit tight and do nothing?
No. What should it do? First of all, it should focus on the primary reason for the retreat of the capital market, beyond the forbidding international environment, which is - the real economy outside the banks. Crisis creates an opportunity to carry out the reforms and structural changes that cynical politicians block when the times are good.
As for the financial sector, the opportunity is tremendous. When hundreds of thousands of people are licking their wounds, that is the time to make changes.
It is an opportunity for Yadin Antebi, the commissioner of capital markets, savings and insurance, and for the government, to finish the capital market reform begun by the Bachar Commission and to eradicate the conflicts of interest that remain in the capital market - in insurance, in underwriting, in the credit rating agencies, and in the boards.
It is an opportunity for institutional investors to go to war against companies and controlling shareholders that sought to deny their commitments using clever debt rearrangements. It is an opportunity for the public to remind the institutional investors that they're supposed to fight the sky-high salaries through which all too many CEOs and controlling shareholders milk their companies dry.
It is an opportunity to complete the reform of the insurance sector, to allow people to withdraw their money when they want a different risk profile and lower management fees. It is an opportunity to set up IRA-type private-sector provident funds for savers who want to minimize management fees. It is an opportunity to remember that over time, these management fees can eat up your returns.
It is an excellent opportunity to remember that despite all the fuss, the regulator hasn't done much about management fees and conflicts of interest, while savers wind up paying the bill.
Note that five years ago, the treasury had to reduce pension rights by 10% to 30% for savers in the "old pension funds," in one single reform, because of the funds' bad management. In fact it shows that if management is bad, it doesn't matter if the fund's assets are invested in the capital market or in treasury bonds.
Also note that there are hundreds of people blissfully unaffected by all this. They are the government servants and soldiers living off high noncontributory pensions paid entirely by taxpayers. Boom, bust - they're out of the game and sitting pretty. Now that the government is thinking of sticking its hand into all our pockets to pay for a "safety net," we should all be asking aloud whether some pockets are worth more than others.

Adriano de Souza smiled as he observed the dozens of brand new boards lying on the floor of his hotel room. His 3rd Place finish at the Quiksilver Pro earlier that day hadn't sunk in yet. Instead, he looked like a child on Christmas morning surrounded by new toys, oblivious to whatever else was around him. But don't let the scene fool you. Despite being only 19 years old, the biggest star in Brazilian surfing knows very well what his goals are and what he needs to do to achieve them. Briefly, after sharing the podium with idols Kelly and Taj, Adriano spoke about his impressions on his first event as a WCT surfer.
Were you expecting to make it to the Semis on your first event on the WCT?
Adriano: No, it was a surprise. I think the conditions helped me out a lot. Duranbah was breaking just like my homebreak, Guaruj. Plus I knew the wave well, I had competed there before on the Billabong Junior Championships. That and some luck, of course.
What was your toughest heat in this contest?
Adriano: It was my First Round heat against Trent Munro. When I beat him, I felt I could go far in the event. It was a difficult, contested heat. I was a little nervous, but I managed to be patient and use priority wisely, which I think was what secured me the win.
What still needs improving in your surfing when compared to the rest of the Top 45?
Adriano: I need more power. When I look at Andy or Kelly I see they attack the wave with a lot more power, they apply more pressure. I also have to improve on big arching carves, on drawing better lines on point breaks. It's like I'm on the first floor and these guys are on the 16th. But I'm slowly climbing up the stairs.
And how can you improve then?
Adriano: Traveling and surfing perfect waves. I'm going to New Caledonia and the Mentawais soon. I wanna arrive in Bells surfing better than I am right now.
How different is the WCT from the WQS?
Adriano: Very. Organizers treat you better and you have to surf at your best to make it through heats. You have to be patient and know when to make use of priority. Although Kelly went through the whole thing practically without using it. But then again, Kelly is Kelly.
It seems like there's a million boards in your room. What equipment are you using right now?
Adriano: I use boards from a bunch of guys. I surfed on the Gold Coast with a 5′ 10″ Chilli and a 5′ 9″ Peter Daniels. I have something like 30 boards right now, from guys like Arakawa, Tokoro, Chilli, Darren Handley and Nev. I'm getting some more boards with Greg Webber and Maurice Cole and in the summer I'll be making a few sticks with Al Merrick too. I like to have a lot of boards from all these guys. Each one seems to be magic for a certain type of wave.
Who impressed you the most at the start of the season?
Adriano: The same guys as usual. Kelly and Andy are on another level. And it's not like they're a little ahead of the rest, they pretty much leave everyone far behind. My goal is to one day reach the level they're at right now.
Are you doing any WQS events this year?
Adriano: I plan on doing only three or four 'QSes this year, as my sponsor wants me to do them. But honestly I'm only focused on the WCT. I wanna qualify through the 'CT.
You were criticized for having poor performances at the WQS events in Haleiwa and Sunset last year. How do you see your surfing at these spots?
Adriano: I have a lot to improve on bigger waves. I was so focused on the WCT that I practically surfed only Pipe and Backdoor last year. I never surfed elsewhere. So in my heats I pretty much kooked it out. It was pretty disappointing to have a poor performance at those spots. But I'm training hard. Hopefully one day I'll surf like Kelly or Andy in waves like that.
What was the reaction of your fellow competitors? Where they stoked for you or freaked out?
Adriano: It was great. Everyone was super cool with me!
And how was the crowd?
Adriano: They were going nuts. There were a lot of Brazilians at Duranbah, it felt almost like I was surfing at home. The Aussies too, they were great. I feel like the Gold Coast is like my second home.
How was Slater's performance in the event—did he deserve to win?
Adriano: Definitely, he surfed better than everyone. He surfed super hard, but seemed like he never felt the pressure. That's what I want to learn to do.
Who else impressed you?
Adriano: I think everyone is surfing at an amazing level, but like I said, Kelly and Andy are above the field. Pancho surprised me at Duranbah. The waves were tiny and he was still ripping!

12yr old's friend problem?(5 Posts)
No she's probably not a nice girl Madmog but she probably doesn't have nice parents either. Behaviour (in all of us) is a product of experience, and children from troubled families, do behave in ways that seem unacceptable. Children aren't born "nasty" - it's the kind of parenting that a child gets that makes them who they are........children who bully at school are usually being bullied at home. "Nice children" are fortunate enough to have parents who given them unconditional love and nurture and care for them - not all children are so lucky............so maybe spare a thought for the girl who is "not nice"
How are things with your daughter now she's started back at school? I had a similar problem with my daughter, but now they've moved onto comp she sees very little of her.
My daughter got to know a new girl and played a couple of times - age nine. However, she felt she was bit immature, played with babyish things but worst of all she was totalling controlling my daughter and had to do what she wanted so my daughter got nothing out of it. She had the nerve to argue with me and my husband, and a couple of times shouted at me by the school gate over my daughter. She regularly shouted at her and others at school if they didn'tt do what she wanted, and she put pressure on some of them to go to the headmaster and get their friends in trouble. In the end I had a word with the teacher about my daughter being shouted at. Turns out I was the second parent that week to go in, so it's worth raising it with the school!
So two years later, my daughter has lots of lovely friends and the girl concerned really has none. We went out with large group recently and this girl happened to be there - my daughter came back to me on the quiet telling me she was shouting at a six year old who was part of the group. Not a nice girl!!
Well I can see the problem - my grd dhtr had a girl a bit like that in primary school. However I do think you have "demonised" A a bit and I'm sure your DD could get away from her if she really wanted to. My DGD is now at sec (all girls school) and there is a girl like this in her form, and DGD tries to talk to her because she feels sorry for her (and I am proud of her for doing that as it shows she cares about others less fortunate than herself) However she doesn't accept invites from this girl but just makes an excuse so as not to hurt her feelings. Neither does this girl prevent my DGD from hanging out with her friends, and if the unpopular girl hangs on to the group they just let it happen from what I can gather.
My son and dil are both primary school teachers and when I used to complain to them about the girl in primary who was preventing DGD playing with other kids etc and being possessive about he, which upset me, my very wise dil said that her child needed to be taught the skills to manage situations like this, as they will come across all sorts of problems through school and later life, and she was so right.
I wonder if you think this worthy of consideration. I do also think you are getting a tad over involved, given the long examples you have given about A and your DD. The friendship groups with girls change a lot (I am told by my dil who teaches Yr 6) they group and re-group. She is always getting parents in asking if A and B can be separated and A is upset because C doesn't like her any more etc etc. She always says it is best to let the girls sort it out for themselves, unless of course there is bullying which is a different matter.
Maybe you could stand back a little.....just a thought.
I think you really need to have a meeting with DD teacher and explain the situation. You're DD sounds like a very caring person, but unfortunately this matter has not been managed well and is now becoming like a noose round her neck.
The teacher needs to be dealing with girl A, wether that's having talks with her to get to the bottom of the problem in conjunction with her parents and not fobbing her off on your DD for being "nice".
My DD is really dreading starting school in three days. I kinda thought it was just normal stuff, and then I got a bit more concerned. At first I thought it might be bullying (DS2 was bullied because of his accent and stuff when we came over from Australia- and I'm a bit paranoid since then) but she told me all about this 'friend'.
In October, having made her new friends and stuff, this girl who no one likes was crying about something or other and the teacher asked DD to look after her for the rest of the lunchtime. Let's call the girl A. A expected it next day and stuff, and is now trailing after DD and trying to be involved. At the start, DD said she didn't mind- her friends didn't mind either. But it got really, really annoying after a while. A really has NO friends. People just don't like her. She's one of those people who doesn't know when to stop and doesn't know when people don't like her- so the people who might have been friends with her were put off. DD doesn't like her, apparently she copies her work etc; DD is intelligent, top of her class normally and A is boring for her because she hasn't read what DD has read, she doesn't understand some of the words DD uses and when DD is forced (if A hasn't got a partner in class work, as is usual, DD has to be partnered with her even if she's already in a group) it means that DD has to choose between bad marks or taking over all the work.
To give you an example of that- near the end of the summer term, they had a history project on Rochester. They were in a group of four and tried to avoid A (she was really bugging them by then, following DD around when she didn't want her, annoying DD's real friends, taking her friends' places on coaches and stuff) but A had to join them. DD was team leader because she loves history. She decided everyone should do two things on the castle and one thing on the cathedral. A said she couldn't do one of the castle things, so was given two easy things to do on the cathedral. Because there was some extra work DD would have been doing four things anyway- now she was doing five things for the castle and one thing for the cathedral. A said she needed help etc; until it became clear that DD would be the one who was REALLY doing her work. She asked A to print it off a week early, as everyone else would do, and A didn't. One week later- A still hadn't printed it off. They lost 8mks (out of 20mks) because of that, and they were bottom of the class.
Apparently, A's like a little puppy following DD around and is making DD's life hell. She can't hang out with her friends because A's there and her friends really hate A, and she can't sit with her best friend on the coach or bus because A always manages to nab it. She is being forced to partner with A for everything and is seeing less and less of her friends. She's also losing friends because people don't like A and don't want to be around A- who's always with DD. She can't tell her that she doesn't like her because that would be cruel, but she's really not enjoying school and losing some of her friends because of her.
Even to me it seems not too hard on DD- but she was actually crying about it, so I think it's more serious than what she describes. And from what she says, A hadn't got any friends in primary school, so I think it's a long-term problem. Help?

Parameters Effecting Mobile Number Portability and Fuzzy Logic Based MNP Decision
Mobile Number Portability (MNP) means that a subscriber of one telecommunication operator is able to keep his telephone number unchanged when switching to another operator. As one of the development trends of the international telecommunication industry, number portability has been introduced in many countries around the world and has played an important role in stimulating the competition and development of telecommunication market. This paper describes various parameter that effect subscribers or parameter on which MNP depends and MNP decision using fuzzy logic.

Last night Apple replaced its normal website layout with a fullscreen tribute to Nelson Mandela, the beloved freedom fighter and South African president who passed away on December 5th at the age of 95. The design is reminiscent of the tribute Apple made for Steve Jobs when he passed away.

I have lived and hunted all over the west for the last 30+ years. Yes, we have it all: open grassy meadow areas, thick wet Douglas fir forests, dry sage flats, tall mountains covered with aspen and manzanita so thick you end up walking on top of it sometimes, reprod so thick you can be standing 10' away from a buck and not be able to see him, and my favorite, the river gorges surrounded by rimrock table mountains/mesas. I like hunting the open areas, glassing, cruise a while, glass some more, and when you spot your deer you can plan a stalk and go head-to-head against him. I often hike 5-10 miles per day when hunting, I cover a lot of ground because I am looking for deer that move primarily at dawn and dusk and bed most of the day at the base of cliffs in the rimrock, and they are not easy to spot or get close to. Typically, I shoot 300 yds or less, so I don't need a flame-belching behemoth (don't get me wrong, I have owned several, but no more). I am not sure I would enjoy typical stand-hunting; not that I think it's too easy, it's just not my cup of tea.

The east side is complety glacier with spectacular Tribolazione glacier seracc. The Tribolazione glacier is the most long of Gran Paradiso group. The Pol and Grappen hut is a very remote hut a classic "nido d'aquila". This ascension is the best way to arrive to Gran Paradiso summit, it is not many frequently because it's a faticosa ascension but are very beautiful the suggestion and the spectacular that it can give.
Height route 400 m
First Ascension:
P.G. Frassy and E. Jeantet in 15 September 1869
To Valnontey (1866 m) take a wanted trail to Pol hut (3183 m). To Pol Hut go up to south-west into glacier. Turn the spur (3378 m) that you leave on the right. Take attention to crevasses and than you arrive to pass called "Colle della Luna". This pass is to east of Punta Ceresole. Go to right (west) under the Punta Ceresole north side and with flat way you arrive to base of the Gran Paradiso east wall. (2,5 h).
A good start in the mooring is needed
Climb the schrund go to the centre of snow slope. The inclination now is 40° and on the final slope is 50°. Climbing the slope, you arrive to the summit
The best way is that to follow the normal route and arrive to rif. V. Emanuele and than to Pont. This way is more difficulty for the car access, but it's good and very fast. If you want return in Valnontey, you must go down on Gran Paradiso glacier than go up on the ridge since Vaccarone pass. Go down to couloir that is on south of Roc. Now you follow the Roc east ridge since to arrive to Colle dell'Ape 3873 m. Go down to slope and arrive to Tribolazione glacier. Now you take the route that you have done to climb. Summit-Pol hut (2,5/3 h) and now you come back to Valnontey.

Wow! It makes a great trellis to support the gourd! Very nice picture-puzzle! : )
That would make a good series of cartoons...."but officer, I just wanted a picture to make an online puzzle"!

Thanks, Gracie!
Neither, Beekay! It was in a little town about 20 minutes east of here! I just pulled over and snapped a whole bunch of photos and returned home before I had to answer any questions! LOL!(How do you explain taking photos for online jigsaw puzzles?)
Perfect picture JC!
