My wife and 5 month old just got back from a 4 day three night stay in Tofino at Cox Bay. The hotel and property were excellent. The room we had which was probably the smallest most basic available was still very nice and more than enough for us. The hotel backs onto cox bay which is gorgeous and great for walks. Location puts you about a 5 min drive into town and 5-15 mins from most other things you'll probably want to do while there. The only thing I could suggest would make this hotel better would be an onsite restaurant. While not having one didn't detract, it would have been something enjoyable to have for one night over cooking.
Anyway, if your looking for the Tofino experience without a doubt consider this hotel.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

Neighbors of the proposed St. Ambrose University athletic and recreation project have been vocal and active. They should be admired for their willingness to get involved.
Hopefully they have noticed that St. Ambrose has been thorough in responding to the concerns. I urge neighbors and anyone else interested in the project to check out the information available at www.sau.edu/svc.
University officials have done their homework, asking consultants for reports about the neighborhood impacts of lighting, storm water and runoff, property values, noise, traffic and parking.
The reports are informative. For example, lighting technology can focus lighting within the stadium for the few nights each year when nighttime events are scheduled. Sound systems can be engineered to eliminate the spread of the sound. Storm water can be monitored through storage and controlled release. In fact, St. Ambrose is already experienced with such a runoff control system at its Health Sciences Building.
St. Ambrose University is trying to make this important project "neighborhood friendly."
St. Ambrose University and our other local universities and colleges are important economic forces in the region. This project will help St. Ambrose recruit students, who in turn, help sustain the region's economy.
What is right for our local colleges is usually right for the region. St. Ambrose has thoroughly researched this project and we hope others will. It is a project that will be good for St. Ambrose University and good for our communities.

5 detained Lone Star delegation members pardoned
By Sylvester Worwee
Five members of Lone Star delegation detained for illegal entry into Morocco have been released, after the intervention of the Liberian Embassy in that country, a well-placed source in the Moroccan Capital, Rabat has confirmed.
Liberia Football Association president, Musa Bility has also confirmed the release of police officer Victor Boyah and four others who were stop at the airport by Moroccan authorities.
Mr. Bility informed sports journalist Danesius Marteh late Monday evening that five persons traveling with the national team of Liberia, including policeman Victor Boyah, had small problems at the airport.
The LFA boss said the word 'detention' is not the right choice of word because no member of the Lone Star delegation was detained as is being speculated.
He further disclosed that the matter has been resolved and that officer Boyah and others, whose identities were not disclosed have been cleared and have since rejoined the rest of the delegation in Rabat.
Earlier, Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Henry Yonton refuted reports that his immediate boss, Minister Saah N'tow was also denied access to the Moroccan territory, but at the same time confirmed that some members of the Lone Star delegation had problem with their travel documents and were being held at the airport in Morocco.
He clarified that the Youth and Sports Minister, who is heading the delegation decided to stay with the delegation members who were refused entry by Moroccan authority, on the basis of humanity, as abandoning them would have worsen the situation.
According to him, the Liberian Embassy in Morocco was immediately contacted to intervene in the matter, while Minister N'tow remained with his fellow citizens at the airport, where it's reported that they spent the night on Sunday.
It can be recalled a high power Lone Star delegation departed the country in the early hours of August 28 via the Roberts International Airport in Margibi County, to hold a five-day training camp in Morocco.
Liberia is expected to play Morocco Under-23 side in a friendly on August 31 before flying to Tunisia to take on the Cartage Eagles in a crucial 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on Sunday, September 4.
The two countries are level at the top of Group A on 10 points, heading into the final group matches.
The other group members, Togo on eight points and 'points donor' Djibouti, with zero point meet at the Kegue Stadium in Lome on the same date.
Only the group winners and the two best second-placed finished are guarantee qualification to the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations finals, slated for the 14 January – 5 February 2017.
The referee for Tunisia versus Liberia decisive match is English-born South African football referee, Daniel Frazer Bennett.
He will be assisted by fellow countrymen Zakhele Thusi Siwela and Mothibidi Stevens Khumalo as Assistant Referee 1 & 2 respectively.
The venue is the Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet in Monastir, some 182 meters from the Tunisian Capital, Tunis.

Review: **
"Man of Steel Theatrical Trailer #3" is the greatest superhero trailer I have seen in twenty years. I have never been as feverishly excited for a film purely based on a trailer, maybe ever. From the opening bars of Hans Zimmer's soft piano and Russell Crowe's 'Goodbye my son', through Kevin Costner's "You ARE my son!" and into Cavill's pure charm, I could not wait to inject this film into my veins.
I've been waiting for a movie version of 'Superman: Birthright', for years and this seemed like it. That story to me legitimised Superman for the new age, without undermining his beliefs, his stances, his methods. It was the perfect way to redo Superman's origin.
When I went to see the movie in theatres, it wasn't quite what I was expecting, but I'd still say I had a good time.
The large amounts of pseudoscience and space opera were a bit overwhelming at times when really I just wanted a character drama, but it was still really enjoyable. It was later on upon further reflection that I realised that it just wasn't the film for me.
Defenders of the film CONSTANTLY claim that people didn't like the film because it wasn't like Donner's Superman - for me it was actually quite the opposite - once again Clark is adrift, unsure of himself and lonely until finally Jor-El basically tells him to become Superman, becoming a major character for the rest of the film and eradicating any chance of us seeing Clark really FORMULATE the idea of a 'super-hero' on his own, the way he did in 'Birthright', many other comics and 'Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman' (a very under-rated show, especially the first season).
Remember this is part of what made the Dark Knight films so interesting - Bruce didn't just get handed the keys to the Batcave, he had to CREATE the entire idea of what a Batman would be. I was HUGELY looking forward to a similar approach for Superman, but instead it's just "Here's your 40,000 year old suit son." The film just didn't develop enough of its characters well enough and it just drifted from place to place, from time to time. Frankly it was a mess.
The characterisation of Jonathan Kent was really troubling as well. A character who should really embody everything that's decent and good about America basically amounted to a coward who didn't want to help anyone and just wanted his family to stay safe at all costs. His death was just badly handled in every respect...even if you liked the way he was characterised, I'm having trouble trying to make excuses for how ridiculous that scene is. After ten seasons of Smallville with Clark using his powers in secret, you're telling me movie-Clark can't just whizz Jonathan to safety without anyone seeing him? It was dumb guys, I'm sorry.
The level of attention given to members of the American military was a bit uncomfortable - especially when characters like Perry White were getting shorthanded. I know this has become a subject of derision for a lot of defenders of the film, but we really don't get to see Superman actually SAVE many people other than soldiers and Lois one time.
And finally there's that awful turgid tone of the last half an hour. It's dank, dark and depressing, it almost fetishises disturbing images of 9/11 disaster and even if he does have to kill the bad guy, having Superman snap Zod's neck was grotesque and ugly and something I don't want to see in a story that's supposed to be about hope. No one can argue that Superman didn't do the right thing by killing Zod, but there's no artistic merit in it - he cries out about it for a second and then it's all smiles for the finale in the Daily Planet.
Last thing - I'm a journalism graduate with a masters degree in multimedia and the idea that someone who has been drifting around America (we don't see him leave America like we do in other stories) working in bars and on fishing trawlers can just waltz into a job working for the greatest newspaper in the world (unless I'm mistaken that is still DP's rep in this film - Lois has a pulitzer for crying out loud!) is flat out offensive. Not only that, but unlike the meticulous attention to detail 'Birthright' gave to the plausibility of the glasses disguise, there's no explanation for it whatsoever here. You're just supposed to already know that Superman wears glasses and accept it. I thought this was (in Nolan's own words) "A film for people who've never seen a Superman film before?".
This film could have and should have been an exploration of an honest man villified for his honest actions by an uncaring and cynical world and that honest man proving the legitimacy of his actions and showing people how to be better than they thought they could be. Superman IS an interesting character, especially when juxtaposed with the cynical frailties of modern society - all this film tried to be was a cool space opera with explosions and fights. All attempts at interesting character drama was surface-level, and I think this is why I initially enjoyed it.
It's a really shallow movie and as a huge fan of The Dark Knight Trilogy (I am a STAUNCH defender of 'Rises'), I was massively disappointed.

The path on the nodes came back, NO CANCER!!!! It's a miracle!!! I'm so thankful we fought for dad to get this surgery and thankful that he was a canidate.
Apr 12, 2013 - 11:31 am
You and Dad have truly raised the bar of '"hope''and "'never give up". What courage. I am soooooo happy for your entire family. Thanks for sharing the great success. Blessings.
May I ask where and whom the medical team?
Apr 12, 2013 - 2:49 pm
Surgeon: Dr. Michael Smith (St. Joseph Thoracic) Phoenix, Az
I hope our story will bring hope to others that are suffering. The odd's were stacked against us, but I would never accept them. My father thanked me last night while crying. He thinks it was because of my determination that he's where he is now, cancer free. I don't believe that. I reminded him that I'm my father's daughter, I learned to be that way from him. I truely believe it was his strength, courage, and a helping hand from God.
Apr 12, 2013 - 3:44 pm
So glad to hear that your Dad had a clean path report!!! I know having this surgery was a difficult decision for him. With his past experience with surgical issues I am sure it took a lot of courage to make the decision to go forward. It will take some time to recover and get used to his new digestive system but it does get better as time goes by. Tell him to have patience, be kind to himself, and take things one day at a time.
Best Regards,
Paul Adams

You may not realize by the array of recipes I share on this blog (Okay, maybe you can. I wrote about Roasted Chile Salsa Verde just last week, I use chipotle in everything from dips to candied nuts, and I even throw Hatch chiles in peach cobbler), but I'm a bit of a recovering chile-head. Chile-a-holic. Hot pepper extraordinaire. Frequent user of Tabasco, and one who can put away a seemingly endless amount of the red chile salsa on my salads when I order at Chipotle.
What can I say? I love heat.
Fellow lovers of chiles can appreciate the lure of the chile. A taste of that fire, and your senses jump to action. Your eyes light up, and an adrenaline-fueled surge of energy rushes through your body. Sure, that heat causes pain, but it's a good hurt. One that keeps you coming back for more.
I've read that there's a science behind it – that the pain caused by those spicy chiles causes a rush of endorphins. It's no wonder those of us that love spicy foods find them so alluring. Maybe it's an addiction of sorts. I could attest to that.
Earlier in our relationship, my husband and I would often order a mess of hot wings from a nearby restaurant. The hotter the sauce, the better (of course, he's a bigger chile-head than I am, tolerating even more of that delicious pain than I could ever hope to), and we'd put away enough wings for a small army. Of course, we'd be miserable afterwards, but the sweet siren call of those wings would return soon enough, and we were back chowing down on wings again. When Chipotle first came to town, we met for lunch on a weekly basis. We couldn't get enough of that salsa. I know firsthand how addictive heat can be.
But as we grew older, we tempered our love for spice. Part of it out of necessity (one's body simply can't handle that much heat all the time indefinitely!), but also, I started to truly fall in love with cooking. In that process, I learned to appreciate the subtleties of real, fresh whole foods. How a simple grind of black pepper and a sprinkle of salt is all you need on a perfectly grilled grass-fed steak. Raw red bell peppers at the peak of freshness are sweet like candy. Fresh basil just sings of summer. A perfectly ripe cantaloupe drips with a sensuous, musky aroma. Roasted free-range, organic chickens from a nearby farm taste, as Julia Child would put it, "so good and chickeny!" In short, I was discovering that there was a whole world of flavor out there, and I didn't need to dive into the endorphin-saturated world of chiles to enjoy it.
This doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good dose of spice every now and then though, as evidenced by the chile-laced recipes throughout this blog. Those chiles still hold a special place in this Texas girl's heart. And when nature gives you peppers, why not embrace it? This time around, however, I had already put away quite a few jars of salsa in the freezer, yet too many chiles remained. Especially these habaneros. With these babies, a little goes a long way. I had at least a dozen, so I needed to come up with a way to "get rid of" quite a few. With some pears from my CSA share also lying around, suddenly I knew. Jam. I could make jam.
This jam is a perfect balance of sweet and heat, and it's a touch healthier than traditional jams and jellies, since I used local honey instead of sugar. The pears provide enough natural pectin to thicken naturally (and add some additional sweetening). Make no mistake though – this jam packs a serious punch. At first, the flavor is a lovely sweet-hot, but after a moment on the tongue, the habaneros start to do their work. Warning: a few spoonfuls of this stuff may cause your nose to run just a bit, in one of those "Hurts So Good" kinda ways. Enjoy it on gluten-free toast, your favorite corn muffin, a biscuit, or as I did last week, brushed on some delicious chicken. I imagine it'd also be perfect as a glaze for pork.
Chile-heads, your new favorite jam has arrived.
Habanero-Pear Jam
About 3 lbs of pears, peeled and roughly chopped (leave the peel on one or two pears – this will add some pectin to make the jam thicken)
5 habanero chiles, seeded and roughly chopped (do this with gloves on)
2 c honey (use agave, coconut nectar, or coconut sugar for vegan)
1/4 c lemon juice
Pinch salt
Wash 8 4-oz canning jars, rings, and new lids with soapy water and rinse. Fill a large pot or canner with water and place canning jars, rings, and lids into the water. Bring to simmer and leave until ready to use.
Meanwhile, place the pears and habanero chiles in the bowl of a food processor. Puree until no large chunks of pear remain (I like small bits of fruit, so I don't completely puree mine). Scrape into a medium saucepan and add honey, lemon juice, and salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, stirring. Keep at a simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened to your liking, about 45 minutes.
When jam is ready, remove jars from water with tongs. (I use tongs from this canning kit, which also has a funnel and a magnetic tool to easily remove the lids from the water) Spoon jam into each jar, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. (A canning funnel makes this easier) Wipe any jam that might have gotten on the rims of the jars. Then place the lid on top of each jar, and screw the rings on, only turning once. (You can tighten them completely later)
Place each filled jar back into the simmering water in the pot or canner using tongs (place on a canning rack, if you have one), making sure there is at least 2 inches of water to cover. Bring water to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Using tongs, carefully remove each jar and place on a kitchen towel, undisturbed, to cool for several hours to room temperature.
Hang around and listen for a while. You should hear each of the lids "pop", indicating that they have sealed properly. If the lids don't properly seal, refrigerate or freeze. Those that do seal can be stored in a pantry for up to 6 months.
Wondering what you can do with an overabundance of peppers (or tomatoes, or zucchini, etc)? Check out our conversation over at Udi's Gluten-Free Living Community for ideas!

How to Make a No-Sew Fleece Blanket
Follow these directions and you can make a warm, no-sew blanket using two pieces of fleece. The blanket picture here is bay-sized, but you can use the instructions I supply to make one of any size. The techniques are all the same, just the fabric size changes.
How to Make a No-Sew Fleece Blanket
- Age Guideline: 8 Years and Up
- Time Required: 30 minutes
The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your... circumstances. For best results, read through all of these steps before you start making this craft.
Let's begin by gathering the supplies you need...Continue to 2 of 10 below.
02 of 10
Gathering the Supplies
Before you start any project it is easiest to gather together all of the supplies. For this fleece blanket project you will need:
- 2 Coordinating Pieces of Fleece (the size of the pieces of fleece will depend on how big of a blanket you want to make)
- Ruler
- Pen or Pencil
- Scissors
Now we can get started.Continue to 3 of 10 below.
03 of 10
Lay Out the Back Piece of Fleece
Start out by laying the piece of fleece that will be the back of your blanket, right side down, on your work surface. I was making a baby-sized blanket so it fit on my work counter, but it works better with a larger blanket to lay it out on a floor. Smooth out the piece of fleece using your hand.
The next step is to prepare the front piece of fabric.Continue to 4 of 10 below.
04 of 10
Lay Out the Front Piece of Fleece
Now, lay the piece of fleece that will be the front of your blanket, right side up, on top of the first piece of fleece. Again, smooth out the piece of fleece with your hand so it lies flat.
Next, you need to trim your fabric.Continue to 5 of 10 below.
05 of 10
Trim Your Fleece
Make sure you cut through both pieces of fleece and trim your fleece to whatever size you want your blanket to be. The cuts do not have to be perfectly even. Please keep in mind, the finished blanket will appear about 8 to 10 inches smaller than the size you cut because of the fringe!
Now you need to measure the corners.Continue to 6 of 10 below.
06 of 10
Measure Your Corners
The first thing you want to do is prepare your corners to be cut. The key here is to measure in, from the corner, the same length as what you will make your fringe. I am cutting my fringe about 4-inches long, so I measured in 4-inches from each side in the corner. Mark your lines and repeat this for each corner.
The next step is to cut your corners.Continue to 7 of 10 below.
07 of 10
Cut off the Corners
Next, simply cut off each corner square that you marked. Hold both fabrics together and cut through both layers. Don't worry about the lines being perfectly even. Once they are tied together you will never notice any differences.
You are now ready to cut fringe around your blanket.Continue to 8 of 10 below.
08 of 10
Cut Your Blanket's Fringe
All you do now is cut fringe along each edge. Make sure you cut through both thicknesses of fleece. My fringe is about 4-inches long and 1 1/2- to 2-inches wide. You can make your fringe longer than this, but I would suggest not going much smaller. Anything too much smaller than what I cut would be hard to tie.
Once your fringe is cut, you can begin tying it.Continue to 9 of 10 below.
09 of 10
Tying Your Fringe
To attach the top piece of fleece to the bottom piece of fleece, you simply tie the fringe together. Grab a set of fringe pieces (a back and front piece), and tie a simple overhand knot in them.
Now your fleece blanket is almost done.Continue to 10 of 10 below.
10 of 10
Finishing Your Blanket
Continue tying the pieces of fleece together until you have worked your way all around the blanket. Your fleece tied blanket is now done. You can, of course, add some personal touches if you like. You can embellish your blanket using fabric paint, buttons, or even heat activated crystals.

Overview of Thai Ruins
Its funny how the border of a country can change the landscape. Some borders are nothing more than imaginary lines drawn on a map. You can walk across the Netherlands and Belgium border and not even realize what has happened. In fact, many European borders have nothing more than a Welcome sign to indicate their presence. Not the same for the border between Thailand and Cambodia.
We boarded the bus in Siem Riep, and were lucky that there were exactly two seats left. Backpacks were stuffed dangerously into every free crevice of space, as were people as well. It was going to be a long ride. The state of Cambodia's roads are bone rattling to say the least as we bounced and rattled along. The day was HOT, and the bus had no air conditioning. The only way to fight off melting into a puddle on the seat was to keep all the windows open. Now lets add two more factors to this equation: Windows open + dirt roads + middle of dry season = the dirtiest, dustiest journey you can imagine.
At one point I wrapped some cloth around my face in an effort to filter out the dust. All I could think about were those incredibly effective anti-smoking campaigns which show pictures of tar coated lungs. But due to the heat, putting up the windows was not an option.
After crossing the border, things could not have been more different! We transferred to a comfortable, brand new, air conditioned, well suspensioned double decker bus and were greeted by reclining seats and English language movies.
Thailand (formally known as Siam) has a long history, and like many other countries with long histories, has relocated its capital several times. Since my partner and I were not interested in having too much of a beach holiday, we decided to visit three of the capitals of Thailand; Bangkok, Ayutthaya, and Sukhothai.
Bangkok is a bustling and incredibly modern city, and was a definite attack on the senses after spending time in slower paced Cambodia. A high tech sky train links the city, and every modern convenience can be found. One of the most visited sites in Bangkok is the Grand Palace. Within the palace grounds, which used to be the residence of the King, is one of Thailand's most sacred temples. And of course the most sacred temple, houses the most sacred Buddha image – the emerald Buddha.
After spending a few days in Thailand's current capital, we hopped on a train and headed north to Ayutthaya, Thailand's second capital. In 1700, Ayutthaya was the world's largest and finest city and was a hub for international trade. Unfortunately, war with the Burmese led to the city being invaded and completely destroyed. The only things left of its former grandeur are various temple ruins which have been declared a UNESCO world heritage site.
We only spent a day visiting the ruins of Ayutthaya before we were off again. A combination of train and bus took us further north into Thailand, and to the site of Siam's very first capital – Sukhothai. The modern city of Sukhothai is located 12 km east of the historic city of Sukhothai, and you can easily catch a large blue songthaew (truck) which will take you between the two cities with ease.
Unlike the ruins in Ayutthaya, the old city of Sukhothai has been vigorously and lovingly restored to some of its former glory. The whole site covers about 70 square kilometres, with the central zones being the best up kept. The manicured lawns and pretty gardens make for a very relaxing and tranquil atmosphere. Also the fact that there are not many touts present, make it a nice place to take some time to be at ease.
Unfortunately, in Ayutthaya I had developed an eye infection, so we ended up staying in Sukhothai a bit longer than anticipated so that I could visit the local hospital. I don't usually buy travel insurance, so it was very lucky for me that the public hospital in Sukhothai was very very clean. I experienced very fast and courteous service. Although, much faster than everyone else and my preferential treatment definitely made me feel a little awkward. Why shouldn't I have to wait as long as everyone else? I am Eurasian as well, but I take after my Scottish mother, which leaves me with an ethical dilemma – should I get better treatment just because my skin is light?
All I needed were some eye drops which were not expensive at all, so not having travel insurance did not turn out to be an issue at all. The only trouble was – during my visit to beautiful old Sukhothai, I couldn't see a thing! The solution? Take pictures and then take in the view from the image on my screen – held very close to my face.
Our journey from Thailand's present day capital, all the way back to the first city of Siam was completed, and all three sites offered very different things. The Grand Palace was surrounded by wide paved roads, busy with traffic, and full of well dressed tourists and clean shaven monks. The palace is just as much a working site as a place of tourist interest, as even though the king no longer lives there, many ceremonies are held there each year. Ayutthaya's temples sat in ruins while busy town life went on around them. At some of the sites, my partner and I were the only people there other than the lone women in the ticket booth. And Old Sukhothai, feeling refreshed after her makeover seemed almost more of a botanical garden or park than the birth place of Siam.
As much as it would have been nice to laze about on some of Thailand's many famous beaches – I am glad I chose instead to journey back into Thailand's past.

An analysis of the biggest business failures of the past quarter century, conducted by two consultants, reveals that nearly half of them could have been avoided.
In most cases, the culprit was flawed strategy, not inept execution, which usually gets the blame. Had their leaders looked at history, they may have saved hundreds of billions of dollars.
The seven pitfalls:
1. "We'll have synergy." The idea that you can grow by joining another firm with complementary strengths is usually a mirage. Disability insurers Unum and Provident in the group and individual markets, respectively, thought they'd be able to sell each other's products. Turns out they served different customers through different models, with no incentive to cross-sell, which they should have been able to figure out beforehand.
2. Flawed reasoning. If subprime mortgage lenders had paid attention to Green Tree Financial, they might have sensed danger....(register to read more)

AUTHOR'S NOTES: I bet you're asking, "Where's the Van/Wendy fluff? Where's the cheesy clichéd drama? Where's Kameo?!" In due time, comrades. This is a post-birthday gift for Watanabe Emi, who, if you all remember, would like to see a little more Ray/Joshua in this world.
Slight shounen-ai and incest if you squint…or you can choose not to squint and keep it all platonic.
Pre-anime…pre-Shino might be the more appropriate term. XD
The landscape was dark, desolate and deserted. He tried wrapping his nightshirt around him more tightly as a cruel wind blew past him – only to find out that he didn't have his clothes on.
Squinting into the distance, he could see a tall figure, long hair lifted by the strong gusts that also buffeted the black and gray curtains of mist, which seemingly clothed the figure in extremely austere threads. He called out to the stranger; only to find that no sound came from his lips. All succeeding efforts were just as futile, and he could feel himself shivering as the wind continued toying with him.
One cloud of mist was blown into the vague silhouette of what looked like a second person, and as quickly as it was scattered, the figure disappeared.
He stepped forward and began to run, feeling sharp rocks cut his feet. A particularly annoying stone tripped him, but he didn't fall onto the barren ground.
Instead, he fell into an infinite abyss, which was blacker than the blackest black, if that was possible. There was nothing to grab, no one to save him, and he kept on falling…
That is, until he opened his eyes.
Ray Lundgren glanced at the clock that sat beside his lamp; only a few minutes before midnight. And yet, he still couldn't put down the book on automated armors he had only recently acquired. After brushing a lock of his blond hair away from his ice-blue eyes, he turned the next page, willing himself to turn in once he finished the chapter he was currently on.
But just as his fingers touched the page, there was a knock on his door. It swung open before he could ask "Who is it?" and revealed a young boy with tousled, wavy blond hair and a rather…haunted expression.
Shutting his book with a snap and placing it aside, he asked, "What is it, Joshua?" Just when I was finally about to call it a night…
"I can't sleep," was the somewhat hesitant reply.
"I…I had a nightmare."
Raising his eyebrows, Ray sighed, somehow half-expecting that answer. If he didn't know better, Josh was past that "I had a nightmare" stage, which meant he was too old to be knocking on his brother's door because of such a simple, childish reason. "It was just a…a dream," he said with a yawn. "Go back to sleep, Josh."
"But I can't!"
"Go to sleep. Don't you know how late it is?"
Joshua pouted. "Yes, but I really can't sleep!"
"Get a glass of warm milk or something. You probably won't even remember what you dreamt of in the morning."
"It didn't work."
"Well, what do you want me to do?" By now, all Ray wanted was to finally get some sleep, and was close to getting out of bed and dragging his little brother back to his own room.
He didn't expect to hear Joshua's response, or even expect him to answer at all.
"C-can I sleep with you for one night, brother, just one night? I don't think I can sleep alone…in my room…maybe that's why…" His voice trailed off.
Ray stared at his brother, who stared back with wide, bright blue eyes. For a few moments, not a single word passed between them.
And whether it was the petulant pout, the constant cajoling, or just those pleading eyes gazing longingly at him, or perhaps because he just wanted to sleep already, Ray found himself moving aside and patting the empty space beside him. The boy instantly crossed the room and clambered into the adolescent's bed. Opening his arms, he gave Ray a big hug, something the latter didn't expect – and at the same time, sort of expected.
"I dreamt…I dreamt that you were taken away from me…everything was so dark…you were gone…I was alone…I don't want you to leave me, brother…I want you to stay with me…please…"
For his age, Joshua was smart, and could understand a lot of things most kids wouldn't be able to for a few years – and things not even some adults could comprehend, but because of that, it was so easy to forget that he was still…well, a kid. Kids would be kids for a while; there was nothing anyone would be able to do about it. And right now, Ray could only hold him close, patting his back and feeling Joshua shake with suppressed sobs. They were huddled together in bed, as though it would be the last night they would spend together.
"You'll stay with me, right? I don't want to be alone."
Ray sighed again. This was just one of those times when Joshua reminded him that being a child prodigy also meant being…well, a child.
"I won't leave you, I promise. Now go to sleep. Don't you know how much time we've already wasted?"
With a nod and a little smile, Joshua lay down with Ray, who was more than willing to share his blanket and couldn't help but return the smile before falling asleep.
The Lundgrens fell asleep at the same time.
The inhospitable desert was back.
Winds howled as though they carried the weight of the world, in time with the cries of distant animals seemingly pleading for help. The sky was concealed by an endless sea of depressing gray mist.
Only this time, he had clothes on, and more importantly, the fog parted to reveal someone's hand reaching out for him. He took it, clutching it and feeling its warmth contrast sharply with the blowing gales. In no time at all, he felt warm too, and the landscape began to dissolve into something brighter, something more beautiful, more welcoming…
And then he ran into the arms of the figure waiting for him all too eagerly, and the two of them embraced fiercely as the background completed itself into what looked like a blissful paradise. They were the only ones around, and yet, it was all right; it was perfect that way…
He rubbed his eyes and opened them in time to see his older brother already wide awake, but still lying in bed, watching him.
"You looked like you were dreaming. Did you have a good dream?"
But somehow, Ray already knew the answer to that.

Here's for the crazy ones!
We're gambling on our vision, and we would rather do that than make "me too" products. Let some other companies do that. For us, it's always the next dream. – Steve Jobs
Skills are the currency of the future and that's an area Centum Learning is deeply committed to. As per the government's National Skill Development Plan, various ministries & nodal agencies have been entrusted to skill 500 million people by 2022. NSDC has a skilling target of 150 million, Ministry of Labor & Employment (MoLE) has a skilling target of 100 million, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has a skilling target of 50 million and the remaining target of 200 million have been allocated to 17 other ministries.
These numbers are mind boggling, the task appears undoable and the current scorecard is like a drop in the ocean! If lessons from the past are any indicator of future progress, we certainly need the misfits, the rebels to make the mission of skill development succeed. Read more here

There was no doubt about the inspiration behind this collection. From bold leopard prints and neon, it was definitely an 80's flashback runway show. What I thought was really interesting and kind of funny was that the designer, Anna Molinari, had the back drop of the show be a pseudo0Warhol portrait of none other then herself. I thought that it was kind of a weird choice. If you were going to do a Warhol backdrop, I would have chosen different fashion icon's portraits, and not my own. Even if you are the designer, it seems a little strange, but thats just my opinion. The collection still had some amazing pieces though.

The Best Alternatives to Owning Plants
We're big fans of plants, not only because they're beautiful to look at, but also because they're great for your health. When you add houseplants to your home's interior, you're improving your quality of life.
Plants like orchids and succulents are the perfect compliment to humans. While we expel carbon dioxide every time we exhale, plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. So when you place these plants in your bedroom, you're helping to improve the quality of the air you breathe. Similarly, some plants release a lot of moisture, helping to balance out the air if it's too dry.
But despite their many positive features, plants aren't for everyone. From having pets and worrying about them accidentally ingesting a toxic leaf, to simply not having a green thumb, we all have our reasons for not investing in a good houseplant. If you still think green and want your home to reflect nature in some shape or form, there are a few fun workarounds you can try.
Below we've rounded up our favorite ways to bring nature inside, without actually doing so.
Love plants but don't want the hassle of owning one? Try investing in a few life-like illustrations! We recently stumbled across artist Margo Hupert and LOVE her style.
Embroidery is a fun way to spice up your home decor and add some color and life into your space. If you love artist Sarah Benning's style below, you're in luck! She has a monthly DIY program via Etsy! Sign up to master the art of the stitch.
Who doesn't love a good photograph? Probably the most life-like substitute for decorating with plants, a photograph can give you the illusion with true color.
From pillows to comforters, there are many ways to approach bedding. We love the two styles below that show how you can really green bedding to fit any personal taste.
Wallpaper can be great for special moments like these below. The pop of color behind the shelves? Genius.
How do you decorate your space without plants? We'd love to hear from you.

Tacoma rocks, right? You buy local, eat local, support local businesses to make our town even better. So this Tuesday, you can hear local composers played by local musicians in a classical music series that's one of Tacoma's hidden gems: Classical Tuesdays in Old Town.
Completely free, this monthly series often features unusual instruments or music, and this coming Tuesday is no exception. Music from five Tacoma composers will be on the program, played by a clarinet-heavy selection of instruments. Solo clarinettist Cindy Renander plays Greg Youtz's "Lone Wolf," while Lawrence Bradley plays a clarinet solo by Lawrence Ebert.
Deborah Anderson has written a clarinet quartet, and Rob Hutchinson's trio for clarinet, flute and marimba features Craig Rine, Pamela Ryker and Miho Takekawa. There's a saxophone-marimba duo by Clem Reid, and a few more pieces as well.
Tacoma has some great composers, and they don't often get a look-in on bigger programs. Thanks to the Old Town series, they're getting the attention they deserve.
The Tacoma Composers concert is at 7 p.m. on January 12 at the Slavonian Hall, 2301 N. 30th St., Tacoma. It's free. For more details call 253-752-2135 or visit http://classicaltuesdays.blogspot.com.

Bhagavad Gita
Bhaja Govindam
Doctrine And Way Of Living
joy the king received to his heart and his kingdom the resplendent and youthful prince
Devavrata and crowned him as the yuvaraja, the heir apparent.
Four years went by. One day as the king was
wandering on the banks of the Yamuna, the air was suddenly filled with a fragrance so
divinely sweet that the king sought for its cause, and he traced it to a maiden so lovely
that she seemed a goddess. A sage had conferred on her the boon that a divine perfume
should emanate from her, and this was now pervading the whole forest.
From the moment the goddess Ganga left him, the
king had kept his senses under control, but the sight of this divinely beauti- ful maiden
burst the bonds of restraint and filled him with an overmastering desire. He asked her to
be his wife.
The maiden said: "I am a fisherwoman, the
daughter of the chief of the fishermen. Mail it please you to ask him and get his
consent." Her voice was sweet as her form.
The father was an astute man.
He said: "O king, there is no doubt that
this maiden, like every other, has to be married to someone and you are indeed worthy of
her. Still you have to make a promise tome before you can have her."
Santanu replied: "If it is a just promise
I shall make it."
The chief of the fisherfolk said: "The
child born of this maiden should be the king after you."
Though almost mad with passion, the king could
not make this promise, as it meant setting aside the godlike Devavrata, the son of Ganga,
who was entitled to the crown.

Frank's Automotive
Review for Frank's Automotive
AMBER P. on 10/24/2013
"Friendly service, puts problems in easy to understand terms"
As a women its easy to feel taken advantage of when car trouble arises. Franks makes me feel respected and Billy is always listening when I explain the strange new sound my car is making. Franks doesn't lie, they want try to upsale you on something you don't need. They'll give it to you straight and at the honest price. I wouldn't think about going anywhere else. Billy is a blessing and always greets me with my name everytime. Franks is the best mechanicmechanics familu has ever found we drive from Austin to come here. More businesses should be like Franks but unfortunately its not the case.

Odeon is used for many acoustic research purposes, which brings up questions like the ones below
Q: I would like to divide my room-model with curtains or a thin plastic material and analyze the absorption. Can I use sound reduction Index for this?
A: If you are not particularly interested in the result in receiver positions on the other side of the "walls", we cannot recommend to use the sound transmission modelling. Particularly with low sound insulation (R < 10 dB) the method has some drawbacks, please see paper from BNAM 2008.
You can either use absorption only, or a combination of transparancy (same for all frequencies) and absorption; this will work as shown on the last page of this old Powerpoint presentation.
Q: I use Odeon to simulate the spatial sound field distribution at a receiver. Odeon's reflectogram reports the incident sound field distribution for the early part only. Is the rest of the response stored somewhere for me to access?
A: If you do text export from the Decay Curve in the Single point response (Ctrl A), Odeon will not only export the normal energy-time histogram (with the resolution given in the 'Room Setup', also the intensity given by X,Y,Z composants are given: This text-export include early (specular as well as scattered) and late energy. It is not the individual reflections rather a sampling with a selected time resolution.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
England in the wave of migration after the Norman Conquest of 1066. They lived in Cheshire. Before migrating to Normandy and then England, this family was originally the lords of Monte Alto, in Italy. Their name is thought to be a version of this place-name which underwent significant corruption through translation through several languages before being Anglicized.
Maudson Early Origins
Cheshire where the family of Maude, originally the Lords of Monte Alto, in Italy, settled in the Lordships and manors of Montalt and Hawarden in the county of Flint.
Maudson Spelling Variations
Maudson Spelling Variations
Before the last few hundred years the English language had no fixed system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations occurred commonly in Anglo Norman surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Maudson were recorded, including Maude, Maud, Mawd, Mold, Mould, Moulds, Molds and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
The unstable environment in England at this time caused numerous families to board ships and leave in search of opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad in places like Ireland, Australia, and particularly the New World. The voyage was extremely difficult, however, and only taken at great expense. The cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels caused many to arrive diseased and starving, not to mention destitute from the enormous cost. Still opportunity in the emerging nations of Canada and the United States was far greater than at home and many went on to make important contributions to the cultures of their adopted countries. An examination of many early immigration records reveals that people bearing the name Maudson arrived in North America very early: John Maud who settled with his wife and four children in Boston Massachusetts in 1769; Daniel Maude settled in Boston Massachusetts in 1635; Jacob Maud arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1751.

Serj Tankian Translating His Music Into Paintings
SOAD frontman embarking on a new artistic adventure he describes as "disarming time paintings."
System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian has recently embarked on what he describes as a new artistic venture called "disarming time paintings." The project consists of Tankian working on both the musical compositions and paintings, ultimately translating them into a single art piece by embedding speakers and MP3 players into the paintings.
The main goal frontman had was to create an exclusive, unique experience with each piece, naming music devaluation that's occurring in modern times as one of the main reasons he opted for such an approach.
"This is really exciting for me 'cause I never painted in my life before," Tankian said. "The urge came to me in the discovery that music has become so temporal and devalued in the world today, even though we love music, anyone watching this and myself inclusive."
Frontman elaborated the idea further, saying, "So I wanted to create an exclusive experience, I wanted to create something unique for someone to hold and they're the only person that get to experience that."
In the process of making some of the pictures, Tankian used unconventional methods such as throwing paint-filled balloons on a canvas or running the canvas over with his car. You can check out all the details regarding the project in the video below.
As far as his work with SOAD goes, tensions started to emerge with the recent online outburst of bassist Shavo Odadjian. In a series of Facebook posts on his official page, Odadjian attacked the frontman for holding the group back, going so far to actually consider hiring a replacement singer.
Tankian's solo work on the other hand is going through a rather prolific phase, as he has announced the release of two independent studio records for this summer.

The mighty TRASH AMIGOS from Stockholm/Sweden playing kick-ass Thrash Metal the way it should be played! Feat. members/ex-members of MERCILESS, DEATH BREATH, DIA PSALMA, NIRVANA 2002.
In the beginning of 2009 Pedro Pico a.k.a Mr.Dim (ex-HARMS WAY, BORN OF FIRE) had a desire to make some good old 80´s thrash-metal in the veins of METALLICA, SLAYER, SEPULTURA, KREATOR, SODOM etc. This was the music he loved and played as a teenager.He decided to form a band with his best cavalleros Pedro el Guero a.k.a Erik Wallin (ex.MERCILESS, HARMS WAY) on guitar and Pedro Serdito a.k.a Stipen from swedish domestic punkrocklegends DIA PSALMA (ex-MERCILESS, HARMS WAY) on drums as a tribute. The idea was not to do something musically revolutionary but something people can swing their sombreros to and drink tequila. After a couple of rehearsals they entered the studio of senior Enrico in september of 2009 to capture the raw energy of 4 songs on tape. After the first gig in a foreign land in the cold north, the TRES AMIGOS brought with them a loco named Pedro Tacon, to handle some guitarra on stage, love at the first zip of the tequila. The band was amazed by his skills and decided that from now on, Tacon will be the difference between the TRES and the TRASH AMIGOS! Once again, In March 2011 the four stinking horsemen, steered their burros to the town of Stringnose, to record their first full-length album with senior Enrico....The album is going to be released in late 2011!!

Some people make the mistake of thinking Arsenal MX is strictly involved in freestyle motocross apparel. After spending an afternoon with Brit Adude and Mark Moss—the masterminds behind the company—at their southern California warehouse, we learned quickly that they are a source for nearly everything motocross. From parts and accessories, to apparel and DVDs, these guys offer a serious selection, with the right amount of attitude and deep industry roots to keep customers coming back.
After spending some time touring their warehouse, and checking out the incredible paint job on their office walls, we sat down to find out what Arsenal MX is all about. Now enough of our sales pitch, here's what Mark and Britt have to say…
You guys have been in business for a while, but you've recently stepped up your game. Tell us how things all got started and where you're at today.
Mark: Basically in 2001, I had a business going already and Brit was a sales rep for Flesh Gear and Black Flys.
Brit: I was also working with Wide Open Motorcycle magazine at the time, trying to bring that back out of the depths, when a mutual friend introduced Mark and me.
Mark: Yeah, so I was running another business and had staff and technology there; Brit had roots in the motorcycle industry, with the advertisers and stuff, so we thought 'why don't we put a website together and put whatever products Brit was repping online, and if we get a couple sales a month, we'll make a few hundred bucks and everything will be cool.
Brit: That was back in 2001. We started it almost out of the garage, and as things started to take off we moved it into Mark's existing office, and we've been at it ever since.
Mark: It wasn't really something we had planned out from the beginning; we just kind of went for it.
Brit: Basically we created a monster. [BRACKET "Laughs"] We didn't really know what we were getting into.
Mark: Unfortunately we've been in business a long time, but haven't come close to reaching our potential. All along we've both had other things going, and the business was here, growing, but with no support. It was like a plant without water; it was growing, but no one cared for it. Just recently we both did what we needed to do so that we could both be in here full bore.
So who came up with the name, and your well-recognized grenade logo?
Brit: I was on a plane flight heading to judge an X Games competition, and I wrote down about 200 names on a piece of paper.
Mark: We had been throwing names back and forth forever, and couldn't come up with anything we really liked.
Brit: It was just a process of elimination, everything from MX Arsenal, to Arsenal MX, to this, to that. After a while we both were like 'that's it, that's the one.' I mean, what is an arsenal? A stockpile, and we're stockpiling motocross goods.
Mark: It maybe kind of started out with the (Metal) Mulisha and their Troops, and just played along with the whole military theme that was hot at the time. It described us perfectly; it's an arsenal, a collection of stuff. Our first catch phrase was, the finest motocross artillery.
Brit: Actually, it was the finest collection of freestyle motocross artillery. Thank god that we had the connections that we did to get started; Twitch, the Mulisha, Deegan…
Mark: Britt was judging all the freestyle competitions at the time…
Brit: Yeah, a lot of good friends helped us to get where we are; we may not have ever been here without them.
Mark: We really made a splash into freestyle because he was judging there and our core group of friends were all in freestyle. That was the niche we were going after and it helped us get our foot in the door, but both of us like to ride motocross, and we wanted to connect closer to that side of the sport.
Brit: It's en a process to redefine ourselves as being about more than just freestyle. We still love freestyle, and we'll continue to cater to everyone there, but we're a motocross company.
Did that realignment toward MX grow out of your passion for motocross, or is the reality that there's a bigger market for it?
Mark: I think it's both, but the passion's definitely there. Neither one of us jumps ramps, but we ride the track all the time. But it's two-fold, because that's definitely where the bigger market is.
Brit: There was a time when I wanted to hit ramps, but that urge really isn't there anymore. I'd rather go roost some berms at the TransWorld ride day, or up at Comp Edge. I've got a big background in BMX racing, so that competition is what really keeps me going.
Mark: We love them both (motocross and freestyle mx), and we still maintain our deep roots in freestyle.
You guys obviously work really well together. What are your respective roles within the company?
Mark: I basically run the day-to-day operations and manage business development, and Brit's in charge of technology and operations.
You said you started out of your garage, as have many very successful MX companies. It seems people in the sport like to work with a company that is authentic and has roots in the sport, not just someone that tries to latch onto the sport as it's growing.
Brit: People jump on the bandwagon everyday, and it's discouraging but motivating at the same time because we're not someone that did that, we're actually passionate about the sport.
Mark: We both ride on a regular basis.
Sponsorship is part of your efforts to stay close to the roots of the sport. Tell us about your deal with Sponsorhouse.
Mark: Sponsorhouse is a website that brings kids that want to be sponsored, and companies that want to sponsor, together. We have a Sponsorhouse page that has everything about Arsenal MX. Kids that are racing and looking to get sponsored can submit their applications through the site. They submit resumes, where they're racing, what they're racing, results, and so forth. Then we review the applications and give sponsorships to the ones we approve.
What types of sponsorship programs do you offer?
Mark: Pretty much everyone that applies is going to get sponsorship from us, if they're competing. It's going to be discounts on products and sometimes free products, depending on the level of sponsorship. The average discount we give through the program is 10-30% off. Those discounts can be used on everything from Pro Circuit factory pipes, to Factory Connection suspension tuning, One Industries, SIXSIXONE, Troy Lee, helmets, parts, you name it.
So if someone applied for sponsorship through Pro Circuit, for example, and they were turned down; if Arsenal MX sponsored them, they could still get discounts on the same products?
Mark: Exactly. We'll give them a discount on the same pipe they would have gotten through Pro Circuit.
We saw all sorts of cool stuff in your warehouse. What products do you carry?
Mark: Pretty much everything under the sun.
Britt: Parts, apparel, and accessories.
Mark: Every major brand, and some smaller brands as well.
You guys also have a new deal with Tyler Evans' supercross team, isn't that right?
Mark: We inked a deal yesterday with Bloodshot, so we'll be working with Tyler Evans and his team.
Britt: Be sure to catch us in the pits at Anaheim 3 and the San Diego Supercross. We'll be in the Bloodshot pits for the next three years.
Where can folks check out Arsenal MX?
Britt: Check us out at www.arsenalmx.com. Version four of our website just launched in the second week of January 2007.
Sounds awesome. Thanks, guys.
