Naomi Watts Says She is Determined to Live a Normal LifePosted by PZ on January 8th, 2013
Naomi Watts likes to fly under the radar as much as possible, admitting that she is determined to live a normal life, even when the paparazzi are following around her family. She doesn't want to give up going normal things or have to put herself in isolation because there is media attention – she would rather just face it and get on with it, and she believes her family cope well despite being in the middle of it all:
"There is nothing that is going to stop me [living a normal life]. I won't allow that. Sometimes we may be suddenly surrounded by 10 or 15 photographers on the school run and they just won't get out of your face, but most of the time we're fine and can get through it. I don't want to be stuck in the house and send someone to fetch the children."
Commenting on being on the receiving end of some harsh criticism, Naomi says she was often told she was far too intense so she would freak people out during auditions, but her mother told her not to listen to anyone who knocked her back, even as she struggled to land roles:
"I got knockback after knockback at auditions. Just before 'Mulholland Dr.' my agent told me I was so intense I was freaking people out. She told me I was a brilliant actor but the feedback was that I made people feel uncomfortable because I was so nervous and intense. I just sat there and blubbed. My mum was staying in LA at the time and I went to her and said: 'I just can't do this. I'm not cut out for it.' She just said: 'Don't believe a word people say about you. Forget them.'"

Mr. Mac, Mac Christensen, honored for charity work
golfrUte SALT LAKE CITY, UTNov. 22, 2011 10:05 a.m.
I've known Mac Christensen for a number of years and personally know of his generosity. Countless individuals have been blessed by his giving attitude and most of the recipients have no idea that Mac was the donor. God bless Mac and his family. Happy Thanksgiving.
CF Mom Sandy, UTNov. 22, 2011 9:45 a.m.
My reader comment name says it all. I lost a daughter at age 21 to CF. She called CF "the Monster". The Monster moves in at diagnosis, you fight the monster everyday, knowing that no matter how hard you fight the Monster will win. Not if, not maybe, but WILL win. The only question is when. CF is considered an orphan disease because of the small patient population. It can not compete for funding with the "popular" ones like HIV, Diabetes etc for large government grants for research. We need people like Mr. Mac to fight the good fight and make this Monster survivable, which it is not, but families who cherish their children pray that it will be in the future. If you have not been touched by CF think of what it must be like to look in a child's eyes every day knowing that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you fight, that child will die gasping for air and in my daughter's words "coughing up a lung". May you always be blessed for your efforts, Mac Christensen.

Ever make a mistake on your tax return? If so, you're not alone. Mistakes can cost you money – taxpayers often miss deductions or tax credits.
They can also draw unwanted attention to your return from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and could result in penalty fees. The National Society of Accountants (NSA) identified these "Top 10 Mistakes" that taxpayers make:
1. Using the wrong column in the tax table.
2. For each level of income, tax rates listed in the tax table usually are different for taxpayers who are single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, and heads of households. It can be easy to pull a number from the wrong column.
3. Not claiming the right number of exemptions. Children count as exemptions up to age 23 – make sure they are claimed on the return as exemptions with the current exemption amount, which often increases year to year.
4. Not adding state income tax refunds as taxable income. It's easy to forget the state tax return refund you got last year. Remember that this counts as taxable income on your federal return if you itemized last year.
5. Not being aware of tax credits. The federal government offers many tax credits, including earned income, energy, education, fuel, elderly, child care, child tax, and foreign tax credits. Many states offer renters' credits. Take advantage of these if they apply to you.
6. Not calculating and comparing the Alternative Minimum Tax. Every taxpayer must calculate this alternative tax to see if it applies to their situation. Failure to do so could result in additional taxes and penalties.
7. Not claiming a refund of excess FICA (Social Security) tax. If you changed employers in 2006 and earned more than $94,200 (the 2006 income limit that applies to FICA tax) the employers together may have withheld more FICA than you owe. Make sure you calculate this and claim a refund if appropriate.
8. Not attaching W-2 forms and other forms. This common mistake is easy to make, so double check to make sure they are included.
9. Not entering Social Security numbers on all tax documents. In addition to the main return, documents such as Schedule A and other tax schedules should all have complete information, including Social Security numbers.
10. Not signing the return. After all the calculations, don't forget this important step!
(bonus one)
11. Not enclosing the check for any payment owed. Yes, you must write a check if you owe money. Don't forget to include it!

"Is something is amiss in the professional sisterhood?"
The term "queen bee syndrome" was coined in the 1970s, following a study led by researchers at the University of Michigan...who examined promotion rates and the impact of the women's movement on the workplace.
...the patriarchal culture of work encouraged the few women who rose to the top to become obsessed with maintaining their authority.
...They found that women who achieved success in male-dominated environments were at times likely to oppose the rise of other women.
Four decades later, the syndrome still thrives... The very women who have complained for decades about unequal treatment now perpetuate many of the same problems by turning on their own.
...female bullies directed their hostilities toward other women 80% of the time—up 9% since 2007.
In 2010, the Workplace Bullying Institute, a national education and advocacy group, reported that female bullies directed their hostilities toward other women 80% of the time—up 9% since 2007.
Male bullies, by contrast, were generally equal-opportunity tormentors.

I also do not instinctively tale pictures of my dinner in the preparation phases Problem/questions: Set my MES 30 to 220 and both the internal and probe both read 224, but my ET733 read 178. Upped the temp to 250 and the MES reads 247 and the 733 reads 198 (see pics). What is more important, the set temp, or the 733's temp? I also have an aluminum pan in there that I think is messing with the reading..... is this heat sink figured into the set temp, or is it interfereing?

Web address filtering
This Article Covers
Strategy and policy
Another way to do this is to simply go to the Internet Options section of your Web browser software (at least in Microsoft's Internet Explorer) and then specify your Web site as the home page (the default is usually the MSN Web site in IE). One suggestion though: Instead of simply having wireless guests channel through your Web site, direct them to a page that asks for simple registration info. -- you know, name, address, etc. That way, you collect data for your mailing list, and can also survey these guests to find out what other services they may be interested in receiving at your hotels. You might even offer them the opportunity to print something out through your business center, provided you have a printer linked to your wireless system (another relatively easy task!). Again, the effort should be to utilize technology to build community and increase awareness for the services provide at your hotels.

Drug availability very little in Punjab now: Sukhbir
The availability of drugs in Punjab has become "very little" due to several "pro-active" measures taken by the state government, including arrest of 145 kingpins of the trade and action against 24 policemen, Deputy Chief Minister Skhbir Singh Badal said today.chandigarh Updated: Jun 18, 2014 18:51 IST
The availability of drugs in Punjab has become "very little" due to several "pro-active" measures taken by the state government, including arrest of 145 kingpins of the trade and action against 24 policemen, Deputy Chief Minister Skhbir Singh Badal said today.
Talking to reporters here, Badal gave a clean chit to Cabinet Minister Bikram Singh Majithia and former minister Swaran Singh Phillaur, whose names cropped up in drug trade, claiming there was "no evidence" of their involvement.
"The availability of drugs has become very little in Punjab," said Sukhbir, who also holds the Home portfolio.
Sukhbir said the state government had started a "war against drugs" two years ago and taken several "pro-active" measures.
A Punjab State Narcotics Control Bureau has been constituted which identifies all persons committing offences under the NDPS Act and ensures action against them, he said.
It is headed by IGP Ishwar Singh who has been given a free hand to choose his team. The bureau is "independent" of Punjab Police and had been granted full autonomy.
Besides, the state government has urged the high court to set up fast-track courts to handle drug-related cases, he said, adding that the courts had been urged to confiscate properties of drug lords.
Claiming that the drugs are not manufactured in Punjab, he said, "Punjab is an international transit route for flow of drugs from Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir." "Most of the drug inflow in Punjab is from Pakistan...its an organised crime with international connections," Sukhbir said.
He said in the past two years, 27,000 people and some BSF personnel involved in drug-related activities have been held.
He said there were some 200 drug kingpins, out of which around 145 had been arrested. He said police have seized 61 lakh capsules of various drugs in 2011, 1.14 crore in 2012 and 3.65 crore in 2013.
Rejecting opposition Congress' claim that drug peddlers had political patronage, he said, "Whosoever he may be, if found involved in drug trade, he will be taken to task." He said 24 police personnel, including one of the rank of DSP, have been caught for their involvement in drug trade and strict action is being taken against them.
A centralised toll-free number 181 has been created for public to provide information about the trade, he added.

Title IX
"No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."
-- Signed into law by President Nixon on June 23, 1972
Title IX
"No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."
— Signed into law by President Nixon on June 23, 1972
Jani Sitton did not know what Title IX was when she was in high school. She just thought it was wrong that there was no girls basketball team.
So she was part of a fight.
She learned of Title IX at college, as a member of the Oregon State women's basketball team in the late 1970s.
Her team had to ride in buses, or vans, to road games in the Pacific 8 Conference. The men's team flew to its games.
So she voiced her opinion.
Yes, Jani Sitton found herself in the middle of some battles, fighting for women athletes in the early years after Title IX became law in 1972.
That does not mean she needs an anniversary to celebrate the landmark legislation that paved the way for more opportunities for women athletes.
She has a family to remind her every day.
Jani and Kurt Sitton have five children: Three of the daughters — Breann, Andrea, and Jenna Rae — earned Division I athletic scholarships and are college graduates.
Their son Grant is on the path to a college degree, playing basketball. And their youngest daughter, Kaitlyn, a senior-to-be at Prairie High School, is hoping to play college volleyball.
"There are so many options now," Jani Sitton said. "We just tried to teach them the importance of a good work ethic, to make them aware of what could happen, and what was available to them."
The five Sitton children have had varying degrees of athletic success. Yet all five understand that it is not required to be a high school star to make it as a college athlete. Opportunities are there at small colleges, at junior colleges.
That was not always the case, especially for women.
Athletics is only a part of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which was signed into law on June 23, 1972. Still, athletics is often used to show Title IX's impact.
According to the National Federation of State High School Associations, in the year before the law was enacted, fewer than 300,000 girls played high school sports in the United States. That number is now at more than 3 million.
While more boys still compete than girls and there remain compliance issues throughout the country, Jani Sitton, for one, applauds the gains made possible by Title IX.
Growing up in Oregon
An athlete who tried just about every sport she could while her family lived in Tigard, Ore., Jani, then Jani Pretty, moved to Yamhill, Ore., in the middle of her eighth-grade year.
There was no organized basketball. There was a track and field team but not a whole lot of opportunities for girls.
Jani was a distance runner. At Yamhill as an eighth-grader, she recalled the longest distance a girl was "allowed" to run was 400 meters. The boys had a full slate of events.
"I remember as a kid just being so shocked," Jani said. "It was very frustrating."
She also did not shy away from her opinions.
"I told them, 'This is not a distance event. The 400 is considered a sprint.' They didn't like me," she said. "I probably thought I knew too much, and I shared it with them."
There was no girls basketball team at Yamhill-Carlton High School when Jani was a freshman. Jani's older sister, Jacky, went to the athletic director to complain, and the first team was organized the next school year.
"We just fought for it. We had to convince a lot of people," Jani said. "Some people were with us. Some were definitely against us. I was really shocked at how many people were against us. I expected everybody to be on our side. But no."
Still, the girls were not exactly treated as equals. They had morning practices, 6 a.m., every day before school. The boys got the gym after school.
Winning certainly helped. The Yamhill-Carlton girls went to the state tournament that first year, won state when Jani was a junior in 1976, and then finished third when she was a senior.
"It made it easier to get gym time," Jani said.
At the urging of her high school coach Greg Stiff, Jani walked on at Oregon State for the 1977-78 season. By the middle of the campaign, Jani was a starter and had earned a scholarship for the following season.
She first learned of Title IX at Oregon State.
"Our coaches talked to us, and our responsibility to represent all women sports," Jani recalled. "We'd go to meetings, and we'd stand up and talk about it."
Bus rides to Pullman
There were times when she and her teammates got to ride in a chartered bus. But there were other times when they crammed into a van, with Jani, a freshman, having to sit on luggage.
"We'd have this long drive from Corvallis to Washington State, and the guys were there, too, but they flew. That was annoying," Jani said.
Jani never reached her full potential at Oregon State. After that one season, she said she lost her love for the game and walked away from her scholarship. Eventually, she left school altogether. She never earned her degree. She regrets those moves to this day, but she also has been able to share those regrets with her children.
"Maybe I wouldn't have been the mother that I am now had I not gone through those experiences," she said. "God had a different plan for me."
Jani and Kurt, a high school teacher and a former coach, have always pushed their children to college, whether they earned an athletic scholarships or not. They are 3-for-3 so far with their children earning degrees, hoping one day to say 5-for-5.
Title IX has helped in the journey toward those degrees — as well as other life ventures. In college, Breann Sitton played basketball in Europe. Andrea played in the Virgin Islands.
"We would never have been able to take them to those places," Jani said.
Title IX is not just for women.
Kurt met Jani in high school. He was no fool. He supported Jani and women in athletics even back then, in a small town in the 1970s. A former college basketball player himself, he has been able to be a coach to his daughters, as well as become a fan of their games.
"I've benefitted from Title IX. I've enjoyed the opportunities it has allowed me to have with my daughters in the sports world," Kurt said.
Five-athlete family
Kaitlyn, the youngest daughter at 17, has never known a world were there were no opportunities for her as an athlete. She watched her older siblings excel. Breann and Andrea starred in basketball. Jenna Rae played high school basketball for a couple of years before specializing in volleyball. Kaitlyn decided early on that volleyball was her sport.
All the Sitton children, including Grant, have been go-go-go with practices for one sport or another virtually all of their lives.
Because of this, Kaitlyn has never really had to consider what life was like for her mother and other women athletes back in the day.
Title IX is not necessarily a top priority topic in the high school classrooms. It comes up with administrators or at school board meetings, when there are compliance issues.
Kaitlyn said she had never heard the term Title IX until this month. It is difficult for her to imagine girls being denied opportunities in athletics.
While Kaitlyn might not have known about the official legislation, she and her sisters all heard stories of what it was like for their mother in the 1970s.
Jani always plays that card when she can.
"When they start to complain or whine about something like having too many practices, I would remind them of how I had to sit on a suitcase," Jani said.
"We remind our children many times how blessed they are."

[bitsontherun JAoWbODl]STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) – Sadly the horrors of slavery continue in the 21st century.
If fact, an estimated 27 million people are still enslaved world wide.
Most of them are women and children.
To raise understanding and awareness of this global crime, Mississippi State is holding a series of events in February and March.
Those include seminars, speakers and a 5K run.
Human Trafficking Awareness Days began Tuesday (2-26) with posters and displays and in the Colvard Student Union.

Soil organic matter in a chronosequence of Michigan soils (Spodic Udipsamments and precursors) was studied in thin section and by pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The Michigan soils were compared with a well-drained Dutch Typic Haplorthod that was studied with the same methods. Both techniques indicate that most B-horizon organic matter in the Michigan sequence is root- and char-derived and not due to illuviation. Microbial matter contributes significantly to B-horizon chemistry. Although charcoal is common in A horizons, it hardly contributes to soil organic matter (SOM) chemistry in this horizon, while it constitutes a significant part of B-horizon C. This suggests that silt-size particulate charcoal is transported downward. Nitrogen-containing pyrolysis fragments are abundant, which, together with significant amounts of aromatic components, points to contribution of proteins. The Michigan soils are far less rich in alkyl C than the Dutch counterpart. This suggests a much lower residual accumulation of recalcitrant compounds in the former, probably due to a larger contribution of root litter and a more efficient decomposition. Faster decomposition (shorter mean residence time) in the Michigan soils is also suggested by the low accumulation of SOM in the B horizon. Thus we can conclude that in the Michigan soils, dissolved organic matter contributes significantly to transport of Al and Fe, but essentially without illuviation of organic matter in the B. In the Dutch Spodosol, on the other hand, both transport of dissolved organic C to the B horizon and accumulation of SOM through decomposition of roots play important roles. Pyrolysis-GC/MS is a powerful tool in deciphering organic-matter-related aspects of soil genesis. The formation of many soils is organic matter driven, and this aspect is still poorly understood.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Heroreports is a non-profit project dedicated to crowdsourcing and mapping reports of citizen courage and positive social behavior. It started in Ciudad Juárez, México as an initiative of the MIT Center for Civic Media called "Crónicas de Héroes", under the direction of Yesica Guerra, a researcher in urban design with a master's degree in Architecture and Urbanism from MIT. Ciudad Juarez is known for being one of the most violent cities in the world, due to drug cartel violence and female homicides.
Yesica Guerra describes the project in this video interview with the Knight Foundation blog [en]:
The following video is a trailer in Spanish for the Juárez Heroreports [es]:
According to Maite Fernandez from the International Journalists' Network, the idea for the project came about in 2009 when Christopher Csikszentmihályi, director of the Center for Future Civic Media visited Ciudad Juarez as part of a delegation that would suggest ideas for improving life in the city.
The initial success of the Juárez Heroreports, which has documented and geo-located some 1045 accounts of positive civic actions, has been followed by other sites in Monterrey, México, the border between Tijuana, México, and San Diego, California, USA, and even Kazakhstan. While they are all part of the same networks, each site has its own individual design and personality. Nevertheless, the focus and goal remain the same.
Heroreports is described as a campaign of positive thinking. Here is an example of one short witness report submitted on April 9, 2011, in Ciudad Juárez:
Un día que regresaba del Paso Tx. Iba una señora caminado mayor de edad que regresaba de trabajar y traía muchas bolsas pesadas vi como un joven le ofreció ayuda hasta que la subió al camión.
Projects like Heroreports show an innovative way of employing digital media in local communities. The benefits are manifold, bridging the realms of online activity and "the street". The potential uses and results cannot be fully predicted. Already, some submissions read more like literary short stories than mere reports.
The Heroreports websites are empowering individuals to speak up and focus on positive citizen behavior in densely-populated areas that suffer from conflict, and are becoming useful sources of comparative socio-geopolitical documentation.

It's hard to find a Calgary Stampeders defensive player with a contract for next CFL season.
As the Stamps cleaned up their gear Monday in preparation for another long offseason of pondering what could have been, it's clear GM/head coach John Hufnagel is going to be busy.
Nine key defensive players are about to hit free-agency, and almost all of them have a case for a raise, despite the 20-16 loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the West Final.
The Stamps fielded the best defence in the CFL this season and were rewarded when three were named all-Canadians -- Dwight Anderson, Brandon Browner and Juwan Simpson.
All three happen to be pending free agents, as are defensive tackles Tom Johnson and DeVone Claybrooks, linebackers Malik Jackson and Keon Raymond, safety Wes Lysack and defensive back Brandon Smith.
"I can't do them all at once," Hufnagel said Monday.
"You try one or two at a time and then keep pecking away.
"Hopefully, we can sign the majority of them."
Of course, there are other free agents on offence.
Receiver Romby Bryant made a good case for a raise with 15 receiving touch-downs this season.
Left tackle Ben Archibald is up for CFL lineman of the year, while fullback Rob Cote was a steady presence at his position.
Where to start with the priority list?
At least Hufnagel doesn't need to convince them Calgary is a great place to play.
The majority of the pending free agents said they would like to be back.
"I'm going to weigh out my options," Bryant said.
"I want to be back with (this receiving corps). I don't want to play anywhere else, to be honest with you. I want to come back next year and win (the Grey Cup)."
There's a possibility the Stamps could lose a player or two to the NFL.
Browner, Jackson and Johnson could choose to go that route.
Johnson certainly put together a decent resume. He was a force in the West Final with three knockdowns and four tackles in a dominating performance.
"From the year I have, there might be something that arises," said Johnson, who gets to see his daughter Thursday on her fourth birthday.
"If it does, I will take my chances on it. With the opportunity at hand, if I play in the CFL, I want to be a Calgary Stampeder.
"I have a good relationship with the coaches and players. We have something special. You see it on the field."
Simpson will be sticking around Alberta for another week, as he's due in Edmonton Wednesday and Thursday to take part in the CFL awards night for which he's up for most outstanding defensive player.
Raymond has moved his wife and four kids to Calgary for the winter.
Had the Stamps made the Grey Cup, Raymond would be sidelined for the title game, as he tore a triceps muscle.
The defensive group is a tight group, and it's disappointing to them they didn't get it done this year, as the window on this group is probably closing.
"It would be great to bring every single guy back," Anderson added.
"The reality of the game is it won't be possible. There will be new guys next year. There will be guys leaving."

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: My Corolla vibrates alot in all gears, but less in park and neutral. on 2005 Toyota Corolla
All motor/transmission mounts are new and correctly installed. PCV valve new. New Iridium plugs. Clean throttle body and intake tubing, new air filter and oil change. Transmission fluid replaced with castrol import. Belt Tensioner and serpentine belt is new. Please let me know opinions. Vibration can be felt through fenders, floor, and steering wheel. Have checked exhaust system. No check engine light. Engine vibrate violently, but idle is proper at about 750-800 rpms when warm.
I had the same problem with my 2004 corolla. Toyota dealer in Palmbeach florida cleaned fuel injectors and throttle body ($280)...the problem remained..after googling, i found that MAF sensor needs to be cleaned every 30K miles. Google for MAF cleaning, it will cost you less that 10 bucks and you can do it yourself. Just be sure to use MAF sensor cleaner and nothing else.
| |
Can't say for certain until inspected unfortunately. But, do you know if the engine mounts that were installed are OEM (from the dealer), or aftermarket? I have seen some new aftermarket parts be worse than a broken OEM part. I would definitely take it back to the installer that's been doing your work to have them double check/make sure nothing was accidently left loose or if they installed a faulty mount.
thanks for the response, they are o.e. aftermarket mounts, the mounts have been looked over a great deal and I guess I can buy one mount at a time since dealer price is well over $100 a pop when I got the set of four for $110. But I dont want to go bankrupt over mounts. That is why I drive a corolla, it is suppose to be inexpensive. Shifts are better, but like you have mentioned the new mounts are not oem, sorry I did not include that in my explanation earlier. I have double checked the mounts and none are loose, It maybe a case of a faulty mount. Any other suggestions.
| |
Again, it's hard to say without checking it, but your description sound fairly typical engine mount. I hope you're able to track it down without too much expense.
Okay so I changed all of the aftermarket motor mounts to Toyota OEM motor mounts and there is a huge difference as there is much less vibration, but the issue now is that the engine is still vibrating and can be felt in the cabin. Still no CEL light is on and I can not figure it out. Iridium plugs are the OEM requirement for the toyota corolla so I would rather not put champion plugs. THe corolla has a coil over plug configuration and all seem to be making contact with the spark plugs. please info.
did you ever figure out the problem? I think I have
the same issue. please advise.
the same issue. please advise.
P R Motorsports is on the right path but I may have another suggestion. Sometimes in certain cars putting specil plugs in them cause misfires. Try just putting good old champion plugs in or stock toyota plugs. Also check that all the plug wires are pushed on all the way and snap when pushed on. The snap can't always be heard so you may only feel it.

Aguirre-Escobar has been working to change the laws that made it so easy for him to get behind the wheel. In August, he, Patty Julius, her daughter Lindsay and Jennifer Wilkinson and friends traveled together to Sacramento to learn more about Assembly Bill SB 806 proposed by Sen. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo. The bill on provisional licensing would have extended the current six-month prohibition on carrying other teens to one year. It failed to pass.
"Changing the provisional licensing ... is just a start," Aguirre-Escobar said. "What Patty and I really want is that first-time licensees, they need driver's training, no matter what the age."
Julius takes it a step further. "I'd also like to see drivers education available in high schools again," she said. "It's needed."
Not a day passes for Aguirre-Escobar without sober reminders of what happened and how it will effect so many people for the rest of their lives.
"My mother always used to say a little prayer before she started the car. Now she takes five minutes. Praying, praying, praying. And she won't let us turn on the radio in the car," he said. "I just sit there and wait. I understand why she prays. I really do."

The Great Divide
Materials: 1 red Spontan magnet board, 6-8 Spontan magnet cups
Description: My kids share a desk, which just happens to be an old Ikea kitchen table. They would never use it at the same time, because they said they had no privacy, and they were always fighting over whose stuff was on whose side of the desk. So, I decided to put a stop to all the problems once and for all.
The solution?
I turned a Spontan magnet board, which was originally meant to be hung on the wall, into a really simple, but very effective, desk divider. Now they each have their privacy, a place to hang notes or photos, and the cups serve as holders for pencils, scissors, etc. No tools needed.
1. Hold the magnet board on its side.
2. Position cups, with magnetic parts facing each other, on opposite sides of the board. Put two on each end, and the rest along the middle.
You can do this with six cups, but eight give more stability.
See more of the Spontan desk divider.

Hey! It's my hack! I love this website, and I'm glad to finally have been able to contribute a hack. About the green line; that's what we started off with, but it wasn't enough, so I came up with the divider. It was the only way to keep the peace.
Clever! And I really love the green line down the middle – because otherwise the divider might creep back and forth a bit every day. Or least it would have if I was sharing it with my brother. Glad to know that kids these days aren't much different.
Totally brilliant – and attractive also!
sencillo y perfecto!

SpyParty - PChttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/spyparty/b/pc/atom.aspxCommunity Server2013-10-04T18:52:00ZSpyParty Just Got A Whole Lot Prettier/games/spyparty/b/pc/archive/2013/10/04/spyparty-just-got-a-whole-lot-prettier.aspx2013-10-04T18:52:00Z2013-10-04T18:52:00Z

It's been a long time since Chris Hecker opened the early access beta for his intriguing indie title, SpyParty, but this week the developer released an impressive visual update to the game that brings its characters to life.

SpyParty is an experimental indie game that pits two players against each other in a novel way. As an attendee of a swank party, one player must blend in with upscale NPCs while performing a variety of tasks such as stealing a statue and placing a bug on an ambassador. The other player plays the role of a sniper, and must identify the human player from an adjacent building and take him or her out. Behavior and deception are key elements of the game, which has been slowly evolving over the past few years.

This week's update is the most promising one yet, as Hecker has started to incorporate new art, which features slightly stylized character models that fit perfectly with the spy motif. In a blog post on the official SpyParty site, Hecker says that only five characters have been updated so far, and only some of their animations have been implemented. Still, as evident in the video below, the new art is a big step in making SpyParty feel less like an experimental project and more like a game.

(Please visit the site to view this media)

Beta participants can check out the art themselves right now by simply logging into the game, which will initiate the update. If you're not member, you can still sign up at the SpyParty website. For more on the game and its developer, read our interview with Chris Hecker.

Frederick Manion (Ben Gazzara), a lieutenant in the army, is arrested for the murder of a bartender, Barney Quill. He claims, in his defense, that the victim had raped and beaten up his wife Laura (Lee Remick). Although Laura supports her husband's story, the police surgeon can find no evidence that she has been raped. Manion is defended by Paul Biegler (James Stewart), a rather humble small-town lawyer. During the course of interviews, Biegler discovers that Manion is violently possessive and jealous, and also that his wife has a reputation for giving her favors to other men. Biegler realizes that the prosecution will try to make the court believe that Laura was the lover of the bartender and than Manion killed him and beat her up when he discovered them together. Manion pleads "not guilty" and Biegler, who knows that his case is weak, sets his assistants to try to find a witness who will save Manion.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions could have drafted cornerback Janoris Jenkins if they were interested in acquiring one of the most talented defensive backs in this year's draft.
Detroit was in desperate of secondary help after losing cornerback Eric Wright in free agency to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this offseason. Jenkins was arguably the most talented cornerback in this year's draft, but many teams were scared off by character concerns, including Detroit.
The Lions chose to draft Iowa offensive lineman Riley Reiff with their first-round pick. Jenkins fell to the second-round, and was snagged by St. Louis.
Rams coach Jeff Fischer said he did not have any concerns about drafting Jenkins, who will make his NFL debut against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
"I don't think we thought it was risky when we took him," Fisher said. "He fell. We clearly had him rated as one of the top, if not the top corner, on the board. When there's behavioral issues that you have to check out, then they typically fall. We felt like he would fall.
"We did our due diligence. We did our research, and at the end of the day, we were very excited about having the opportunity to draft him."
Jenkins was arrested in 2009 on misdemeanor charges for being involved in a fight and fleeing police when he played for the University of Florida. He agreed to deferred prosecution and six months of probation.
Last year, Jenkins was dismissed from Florida after two marijuana possession-related charges within three months. Jenkins transferred to North Alabama, a Division II school.
A report surfaced prior to the draft that claimed Jenkins continued to use marijuana after transferring to North Alabama, which he denied.
Despite Jenkins' past, Fisher believes his cornerback can help the Rams this season.
"He's exceeded our expectations at this point," Fisher said. "He's a great young man; he loves football; he's very intelligent, and he's going to have a great career ... He is a better player on the field than I thought he was going to be at this point."

Gaming Paradise first days results
Gaming Paradise organizers were unlucky right from the start, as they had to face several serious problems. First, they have lost the car that was transporting all computers for the contestants, and after that have got ones with no video cards. All of these things have caused a 10-hour delay of the first CS:GO game, and the cancellation of the Dota 2 tournament.
The first match of Natus Vincere wasn't broadcasted on GOTV. The tournament organizers couldn't manage to set everything before the beginning of the game, so the win of our team against MiA could be witnessed only by Gaming Paradise attendees. Our guys have managed to win with a 16:2 on de_mirage, and 16:5 on de_dust2. This game has motivated Natus Vincere players to work even harder, even though the following matches promised to be even more intense.
The second map (de_dust2) started with Kinguin winning a pistol round. After that everything began moving in the wrong direction, as our rivals wanted revenge after the first loss. They were playing in a quick style and decided to play with the weapons saved from the previous round not to buy that much. This helped them perfectly control economy and prevent Na`Vi from doing full buys. As a result, second map ended with a 16:4 score.
GuardiaN and seized started watching de_dust2 demo right after the map
The strategies prepared by our guys beforehand have helped them win the first round on the decider map de_inferno. But all the following rounds included upsetting mistakes. Both teams were quite nervous and couldn't anticipate the actions of their opponents. Nobody wanted to play risky, so the game was quite close – 3:3, 5:5, 9:9. Starting from the eleventh round, the things got crazily intense, and our players took a timeout to discuss several aspects with the coach. But it didn't help to turn the tide of the game, and the map was lost with a 11:16 score (7:8, 4:8). Zeus, along with Edward, were extremely disappointed as they have once again managed to do the most kills. The stream broadcast showed how upset Zeus was, as he was trying to explain something to his teammates.

[inline_node:4209]Quakes fans traveling to Colorado this weekend should be wary of two things: the Rapids offensive-minded approach and a white, powdery substance falling from the sky.
Yes, snow is in the forecast for Saturday. But don't let the cold weather prevent you from enjoying your trip to Colorado!
Here's a visitor's guide to Denver according to Centennial State native and San Jose Earthquakes defender Bobby Burling:
Best Thing About Denver
State Parks and outdoor activities - even in the cold months. Denver has over 40 State Parks and 11 million visitors to these parks annually.
Friday Night Plans
Grab dinner downtown and then head to Market Street or Larimer Square where you can go to a ritzy bar, piano bar or tavern.
Tourist Attraction
Depending on where you have access to, the Red Rocks Amphitheater is really cool and open to hike, 16th Street downtown for shopping/dining, hiking in the Mountains or the Flat Irons of Boulder.
Local Secret (Hidden Gem)
British Bulldog. It's a great soccer pub downtown for true Futbol fans. Catch the Saturday morning EPL action there.
Where Not to Go
Hard Rock Cafe or anything chain-related. There's tons of local breweries to choose from!
Best Sports Bar
Sports Column Downtown because they have some great specials or Rooftop at the Tavern Downtown (weather permitting, but they have heaters).
One Restaurant to Visit
Fruition in Cherry Creek. Not only has it been named the best restaurant in Colorado, it's co-owned by an old teammate of mine, Jesse Marsch. (Just don't expect to get anything free for dropping his name!) They have an AMAZING cook and menu.
One Must-See Attraction
The Mountains! Or, if you're staying Downtown, I would say the 16th Street Mall or Cherry Creek Mall for the shopping. (16th Street should be lit up because they are gearing up for the holidays down there.)
One Thing to Do
Hike, bottom line, and the Rocky Mountains are beautiful. But, if the weather is too bad, at least go for a drive somewhere or get out to one of the parks for a jog/walk.
One Thing to Bring
A warm jacket and a thermos for your beverage of choice for the game on Saturday night.

He keeps returning to that number. Eighty-eight. The number of keys on a piano, as it turns out. The double-snowman. It would be a hard 16 on a craps table, if the dice had more sides.
"I just passed 88," Jerry Lewis says, as if looking back at a car he's left in the dust. "That's a pretty good number."
In his hands, it is. Lewis wears 88 quite well, remaining as kinetic as ever and enlivened during an hourlong chat this week in his Las Vegas home. He's swift with responses, flying from fury to funny in a single sentence. He talks glowingly of his photo exhibit "Painted Pictures," which runs through Sept. 27 at UNLV's Barrick Museum. The exhibit is of Lewis-photographed cityscapes taken from the 1950s through the 1970s, the focus being the streaky, manipulated images of the Strip from those days.
"It's a marvelous exhibit," he says. "You should get your (butt) down there and see it."
The exhibit runs in conjunction with a film series of Lewis' movies from that period. Through Wednesday, it's "The Patsy," followed by "Who's Minding the Store?" The primary sponsor of the project is South Point owner Michael Gaughan, who has been a close friend of Lewis' for decades. The South Point was where Lewis hosted what was to be his final MDA Labor Day Telethon, in 2010, and the hotel's showroom has served as his most recent Las Vegas performance venue. Lewis is back this weekend, for performances at 7:30 p.m. today, Saturday and Sunday (call the hotel at 702-797-8055 from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. today and Saturday, and noon-8 p.m. Sunday. Tickets cost $45, $50 and $55, absent fees).
On this day, Lewis is as energetic as ever, and it is clear his mind is careening in many directions at once. Lewis has said his mind works on several levels concurrently; he'll be talking about the here and now but also thinking about an edit he'll be making in a few hours and the phone calls he needs to return before nightfall.
He would have it no other way.
"I'm the luckiest Jew in the world, to be able to do what I'm still able to do," he says, laughing. "Look what God has given me. I'm not homeless. I'm not in need of surgery. I have most of my functions in order. I don't want to ask for any more."
More highlights from the conversation:
The last time you played South Point, it was just you onstage introducing your rare home movies and film and TV clips, then a Q&A with the audience. Is that what we're going to see this weekend?
Yes, and what's funny is the Q&A I do is starting to run 30 minutes. It's great fun because the audience is testing my immediate brain. Sometimes it is too loving — people telling me that they were 8 and 9 years old when I came into their lives. I say, "Well, Jesus, you've had long enough to rehearse!" It's a beautiful thing to see, when you're sitting there with 400 people, but sometimes it's, "Enough kissing and hugging! Let's get to something silly."
Do you have an appreciation of what it is like for someone to walk up to that microphone and ask you a question?
Well, sure. They're very nervous. They don't want to say the wrong thing. But they do want to make contact so they can say later that they did make contact.
I want to ask you about your photos. They are all abstract, cityscapes and landscapes. In your live show, you use a lot of footage of you and Dean and other friends taken behind the scenes, beautiful color film clips. Did you consider including any of those types of images in the exhibit?
No. A company in Paris called Fnac, the equivalent in France of Kodak here in the states, did this exhibit. They displayed a whole wall of my pictures, every wall in Fnac had my photos, like 16-by-10 feet. It ran for four months and was very successful.
Have you ever taken a photograph with a phone?
Of a phone?
With a phone. You know, using a smartphone to snap a picture.
Oh (laughs), no. I only use the phone as a phone.
Whenever I've had a photographer with me, you've asked about his or her technical expertise. No matter where it is, you've been curious about the photographer's technique and equipment.
Oh, yeah. There are probably a couple dozen important directors in Hollywood that you never see without a camera. I mean, I've always got one at the left of my arm. Every room you go to you will see one. Or two, or three. Any good director shoots pictures. He just does. When I started to be a motion picture director, one of the things that Joe Mankiewicz said to me is, "Get a still camera and don't let anyone take it away from you."
Between this weekend and then, any projects or performances coming up that you want to talk about?
I'm doing eight concerts from mid-September until the end of October. Then I go into the Paramount Theatre in Times Square and do four days there. I have dates in Lakeland, Fla.; Chicago; Detroit; St. Louis; Denver; Indianapolis; Maine. ... I don't know what the (heck) I'm doing up there.
In these shows, when you're in front of a relatively small audience, like 400 people at the South Point, it's still apparent you are getting a lot of fulfillment out of being onstage.
The thrill that I get walking out onstage on Friday night is no different than when I walked out onstage when I was 9. No difference. You're walking out to a bunch of people who are paying to see you, who remind you of your work. That audience is there to tell you that you can do more. They come because they want to see you, and it's a thrill standing and waiting to be introduced. I never, ever lost that. I still have the belly jumps, when you get nervous in here (points at his stomach).
Even when you're performing 83 years, as I have, that doesn't go away.
Do you still get nostalgic when you're watching yourself in these clips, while you're onstage?
Of course. I get nostalgic watching me with my partner (Dean Martin), and I've been working on some clips for this new show and (laughs) — I didn't get one clip finished because I was laughing so much. I have to go back this afternoon now and finish the editing. But I watch it when it's on the screen. I think I'm having the best time of anyone. I've been told that it looks like I am having more fun than anyone in the room. I like knowing that.
You've been spotted at Pia Zadora's show at Piero's awhile back. Have you seen any other shows in Las Vegas recently?
Not really. I took my children to see the Michael Jackson Cirque du Soleil show ("One," at Mandalay Bay). I took my wife to see "Love" at the Mirage. It's all the same show, you know. Different acrobats. What they do is great, but it is the same show. You know what bothers me is when I see a marquee announcing a steak dinner instead of an entertainer.
The classic complaint about Cirque du Soleil is that the brand has overtaken traditional star headliners on the Strip. We now have Cirque shows in the same prominence as Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Martin & Lewis, Elvis, those types of superstars.
We do have Celine, Elton, Shania, those (at Caesars Palace), and they are all fine performers. But every marquee should have a name on it. I come from a time when it was Sinatra, Sophie Tucker, Al Jolson, going way back, and yes, Martin & Lewis. It is hard for me to watch what has happened to entertainment, and what passes for entertainment, today.
It might be that there are not many around who are on the level of Frank Sinatra. You're one of the few who is still around who was a star when he was a star.
You know what scares me? I have every phone number I've ever heard in my life in my organizers. I have three of them. I looked through them the other day to get a number, and there were 39 names of dead people. I'm not going to take them out because they were friends of mine. I keep them. But when I decided to count them ... Jesus. There's nobody left.
You're still standing, though. You were onstage on your 88th birthday, in La Mirada, Calif., right?
Yep! Amazing.
And you are still booked through this year.
My dad told me if I took care of myself, I'd go to 58 and 60 years old as a performer. Sixty years old? I was 16 when he told me that. And as I got older, I thought, "I'm not going to quit at age 58, for Christ's sake!
How are you feeling, physically, right now?
Great. Oh yeah. I have a very simple way it works for me. I get up in the morning, stretch my arms and say, "Thanks for another day!" That's how I start. I spend the day writing, starting at 6:30 in the morning. I will write for three or four hours and put it down by noon. Then I will get on with my work.
You keep yourself in good condition? You're still exercising?
Yes. I eat very, very well. Sam (Lewis' wife) takes infinitely good care of me. I take my medicine faithfully. I do everything I am supposed to do, and I watch my intake of food. I do my exercises; I have a wonderful physical therapist who works with me three times a week in the exercise room. I've got my bike, my machines. I try to stay off a couple of the machines that make me too (expletive) tired. But I work with him. I don't eat hot dogs anymore (laughs). I don't know if that will give me additional life, but I'm 88 and nobody tells me I look 88. That means I'm doing something right.
When did you start to accept that you can't be the same Jerry Lewis that you were generations ago?
At 80-ish, I started to feel a little less rambunctious and watching what I was doing a little more closely. For example, my legs started to go about a year ago, and you have to accept that. I looked in the mirror after getting out of the shower one morning, and I said to Sam, looking at myself in the full-length mirror, and I thought, "I've used all of this for 88 years. It's going to break down." My eyes, I have to get a little squinty. I can't hear as well as I'd like to. All the 88-year-old stuff is coming, but it's not bothering me.

I was just about jumping for joy when I found out it would include a 4 year old AND twins! I went armed for the unexpected. You never know with so many little ones! We decided to do their session in their backyard – SO much easier than getting everyone dressed and ready for an on-location shoot, right? Well, as you will see below, this family is adorable as adorable gets. From stunning Kelly, to beautiful Viv (those eyes!) to Mr. Photogenic Charlie, this was basically a dream session for me. Enjoy!

Lottery fund raising tops £6bn
The lottery's new ads highlight grant recipients
The National Lottery has raised more than £6 billion for good causes in just under four years, organisers Camelot have revealed.
The landmark was passed days before the fourth anniversary of the first lottery draw on November 19.
"On the way, the National Lottery has created more than 686 millionaires and paid out on more than 300m winning tickets," he added.
Camelot has released the latest figures days after embarking on a £12m advertising campaign which emphasises the lottery's good works rather than the possibility that anybody could scoop the jackpot.
Charities, sport, arts, heritage bodies and projects to mark the Millennium receive 28 pence from every pound taken in ticket sales.
Underestimated by the public
The latest publicity drive coincides with a survey, commissioned by Camelot, which found that seven out of 10 people would estimate the lottery had only raised less than £1bn for good causes.
In addition, almost a third of those questioned said they did not know where any of the cash raised had gone.
Mr Holley said: "Our research, backed up by this latest survey, shows that people play the lottery for the chance to win large prizes but still want to know more about which good causes benefit from their weekly flutter."
Image problems
Camelot is trying to rehabilitate its public image after a series of setbacks this year. It suffered intense media criticism after it announced record profits of £80m.
Mr Branson was awarded £100,000 after the High Court heard that Mr Snowden tried to bribe him into pulling out of the race to run the lottery. Mr Snowden resigned from GTech after losing the case.

A little known Finland-based company Jaiku has just been acquired by Google.
Jaiku describes their main goal as "to bring people closer together by enabling them to share their activity streams."
Basically Jaiku offers mobile phone software which enables users to microblog from both their mobile phone and the internet.
Google has already acquired another mobile phone software company, Zingku, who aim to provide mobile phone users with a range of services including sharing photos, posts and special Zingku "mobile flyers".
Back in 2005, Google acquired a company called Dodgeball, but after no significant investment by Google the Dodgeball founders left their own company disappointed and frustrated.
All this activity has led to speculation by one industry analyst that Google's rival, Yahoo may take an interest in Jaiku's rival, Twitter.
In any case the collective acquisitions indicate that Google certainly seems to have taken a strong interest in the future of internet compatible mobile phone software.
Appropriately, both Google and Jaiku have blogged about the acquisition.
The Jaiku team state that new user sign-ups have been temporarily limited whilst Google and Jaiku engineers work together to produce a new, better service.
Google product manager, Tony Hsieh, writes that they are "excited about helping drive the next round of developments in web and mobile technology."
Tony ends by extending a "hearty Google welcome to Jaiku", but we will have to wait and see whether this really does materialise in innovative development or ends in development stagnation just like Dodgeball.

I think I'm in love. With (vegan!!) peanut butter and jelly ice cream. Seriously, last night's treat was life changing. But let's rewind…
Thursday breakfast was coffee, cherries, Oikos vanilla greek yogurt, and 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean Crunch. Lots of protein and fiber – very filling!
My morning passed very quickly and before I knew it, it was 12:30pm. I had arranged to meet the broker uptown to check out an apartment during lunch, so I needed to get a move on. I sped out the door of my building, took the train uptown, checked out the apartment, and was back at my desk by 1:40pm. Pheww! I was almost late meeting the broker so I practically sprinted down the street (in work clothes, with my giant bag on my shoulder). It was worth it – the apartment was decent and the price was a steal! Hooray!
I returned to the office excited by my potential new digs and devoured my lunch. I was extra good today and packed leftovers rather than buying something from the cafe. I spread about 1/4 cup white bean hummus on whole wheat flat bread and then added green pepper, zucchini, and feta. I rolled it all up and chowed down.
My headache just would not go away, ugh. I'm sure it's stress/tension related. Lots of changes going on over the next month! Around 4pm I sipped on a small non-fat latte and ate a peanut butter granola bar. Nature Valley recently re-formatted their granola bars so that they no longer contain HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). They're still not the healthiest things on the planet, but they are made with whole grains. And they taste like a peanut butter girl scout cookie!
Alma and I met with the broker after work and submitted an application. If all goes well, we'll sign the lease on Monday! I knew I wasn't going to have time for any cardio today, so I decided to walk the 2 miles or so to the pilates class where Katie and I were planning on taking a class. I snacked on my apple (umm…not very good. early season apples are wayyy tart!) as I checked out the front of Sixth Street Pilates. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that I had agreed to go to an Intermediate/Advanced mat class. Oh lordie.
Luckily I survived the class. My abs were feelin' the burn, but it's almost beach-time, so I won't complain!
Afterwards, Katie and I headed across the street to Lula's Sweet Apothacary. I've been hearing about this place for weeks and it did NOT disappoint.
The shop is reminiscent of an old-school soda fountain. In addition to ice cream by the scoop, Lula's serves sundaes, milkshakes, and soda floats the old-fashioned way. The best part? Everything is vegan!!
The counter guy gave us a taste of the "Death by Chocolate" ice cream and casually mentioned that the fudge mixed in to the ice cream was made fresh that morning. Holy yum! I cannot believe this stuff is dairy free. When I saw peanut butter & jelly ice cream, I knew there was no other option for me. I ordered a scoop and was in heaven. It was so creamy and I could taste big pockets of chunky peanut butter and sweet berry jam.
I'm not exagerating when I say that this ice cream was probably one of the best 3 ice creams I have ever had. If you're in the New York area, check Lula's out! And no, they are not paying me for this ringing endorsement :-)
Ice cream is all well and good, but a girl cannot live on dessert alone. When I got home, I made a little snack (dinner?) plate of green pepper with hummus and a toasted baguette with almond butter and fruit preserves. I just opened up a jar of Sarabeth's preserves and while the flavor is awesome, the consistency was quite runny. It was like 100 degrees in my apartment, so maybe that's why? I stuck the jar in the fridge in the hopes that it will firm up. Anyone else have experience with Sarabeth's jam?
After checking some emails and getting things ready for work the next day, I promptly sprawled out on the couch. As Nate and I watched a thoroughly unsatisfying episode of Law & Order (the little Haitian boy did not deserve to go to juvie!), there may have been some unpictured Garden of Eatin' organic tortilla chips. Mmm, salty.
TGIF! What's your favorite part of your weekend routine? Nate and I have a weekly date night on Fridays and it's my favorite part of the whole week! It's a great way to transition into a relaxed, chill state-of-mind :-)

NEW YORK (AP) — A new book promises to give a Lin-side look at the NBA's newest sensation.
Hachette Book Group says it is publishing "Jeremy Lin: The Reason for the Linsanity," by Timothy Dalrymple. It is due in stores in May, the company announced Wednesday.
Harvard graduate Lin recently became a New York Knicks phenomenon. He's the National Basketball Association's first American-born player of Taiwanese descent. And his recent prominence has spurred countless puns on his name.
The book will chronicle Lin's high school, college and early career in the NBA, while highlighting the media explosion ignited by his success as starting guard with the Knicks.

When Theresa Sapp's grandson asked her to come to a feast at the school on the Little Pine First Nation in Saskatchewan, she didn't know there would be special guests.
When she arrived, Sapp met four non-aboriginal people walking from Saskatchewan to Edmonton in honour of residential school survivors like herself.
"I was surprised...they were Mennonites, they were helping out, that was good to hear," said Sapp, 77, who attended Thunderchild Indian residential school at Delmas, Sask..
- Walkers honour survivors of Indian Residential schools
- New documents may shed light on residential school deaths
- Visit CBC Aboriginal
The four Winnipeg walkers, officially kicked off their 550 km pilgrimage on March 8 at Stoney Knoll, Sask..
Eight years before, the Young Chipeewayan First Nation, Lutherans, and Mennonites gathered there to sign a memorandum of understanding, for all parties to respect treaties and "the sacred nature of covenants."
The group's goal is to fulfill that promise, which includes reconciling the legacy of residential schools.
The walkers were welcomed to Little Pine by drummers and a grand-entry into the school gym where they feasted and heard survivors' stories.
"They said it's [our stories] are interesting. They felt sorry, they didn't know all that was happening …I told them to have a good walk, and that I would see them in Edmonton," said Sapp who will attend the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's final national event, March 27 to 30.
"I was shocked, I didn't mind, I gave them tobacco," said Eldon Bear, 57. Like Sapp, he wasn't expecting non-aboriginal walkers.
"I'd like to see that from more non-natives, because there's a lot of people going through hard times," said Bear who helped out at the event by smudging the flags for the grand entry and leading the round dance.
'It's challenging to know these are things I haven't learned about through my years growing up and things aren't widely publicized...the history of Canada and indigenous peoples, it's a hard history.' - Nathan Thorpe, a reconciliation walker
Bear, from Little Pine First Nation, attended residential schools from 1962 to 1973.
"It's still in my head, that residential school stuff is still there, Onion Lake was the worst of it over there… after all the discipline, abuse, I started drinking ... I took lots of anger management for six months and that didn't help, went to jail for assault and got thrown in," said Bear.
Bear said his recovery has been a long journey starting when he was 16, when he was re-introduced to Cree culture through his father's spiritual guidance and ceremonies.
Sapp also experienced problems after leaving residential school, "I drank a lot," she said. "They cut our hair off, when we talked Cree they could put something in our mouths to burn us, slap us, trying to kill the cultural spirit… It was a difficult life, a horrible life."
Nathan Thorpe is a piano teacher from Winnipeg and one of the non-aboriginal walkers.
"It's challenging to know these are things I haven't learned about through my years growing up and things aren't widely publicized...the history of Canada and indigenous peoples, it's a hard history," said Thorpe.
After the event, Sapp said she had a powerful dream.
'A lot of these older people we're losing, a lot of them didn't like the white man because of that [residential schools], but now, I know a lot of white people understand...no matter how bad we were treated, we are able to forgive.' - Theresa Sapp, residential school survivor
"There was this big room, there was chairs, people sitting there, like invisible, dead people, I guess they [survivors] were there, their spirits are there when we have these residential school workshops...a lot of them died without sharing anything, lots of them when they get their money they drink and do drugs, and some of them passed away like that. They hated talking about that, residential school."
Sapp said many survivors who passed on didn't have a chance to heal and forgive.
"A lot of these older people we're losing, a lot of them didn't like the white man because of that [residential schools], but now, I know a lot of white people understand...no matter how bad we were treated, we are able to forgive."
The reconciliation walkers have continued their journey and are now passed the halfway point at Lloydminster.
"It's going really well..obviously there's a physical challenge to our bodies... we get blisters, sore bodies," said Thorpe. The walkers have been starting each day after 10 a.m., retiring by 5:30 p.m., and walking an average of 5 to 6 km per/hour.
They will arrive in Edmonton on Thursday to mark the first day of the last Truth and Reconciliation Commission National event.
