Out & Proud: The Man with The Child in His Eyeswritten by jaybees80 on 2013-06-07 #videos
For LGBT month, it seemed important to me to talk about the love of my life through my photos. He is the one who inspires me the most, the one I never miss when it comes to taking pictures. His love and strength makes him my muse. Even if life has not always been kind to us (and especially lately), it will always be there for me and I'll always be there for him.42 108 Share Tweet

I love oatmeal. I cook it myself almost every single day. (The pre-made packets are alright, but they usually contain too much extra sugar.)
Nevertheless, oatmeal is a great breakfast. It's full of healthy, hearty grains, and fills you up – it "sticks to your gut" as they say. In other words, it keeps you feeling satisfied for hours.
I typically go with a cinnamon raisin flavor. I enjoy it, and it never gets old. Roughly speaking, here are the ingredients:
- Large bowl
- 1 1/2 cups Rolled Oats
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Organic Cane Sugar (optional, to taste)
- 1/2 cup Raisins
- 1 1/2 cups Milk
And here is how to put it all together:
Step 1: Rolled Oats
Dump about 1 1/2 cups of rolled oats into your large bowl. I usually use the quick oats (which are ground a bit more and make for easier cooking,) but some people swear by steel cut oats. Use whatever you prefer.
Step 2: Cinnamon
Now pour in the cinnamon! Cinnamon is extremely healthy, so I just dump it on. I'd say I use about 2 tsp, although you only need about 1/4 tsp to get great health benefits.
Step 3: Sugar
I usually do my oatmeal without any sugar, but every so often I treat myself and put a little bit of organic cane sugar in, too. 1 tsp is usually plenty, even for a big bowl.
Step 4: Stir
Now that all the dry ingredients are in, stir them up with your spoon.
Step 5: Raisins
Add in 1/2 cup raisins. (This is where the real sweetness comes from.)
Step 6: Stir again
Now stir the raisins in so all the ingredients are mixed nicely.
Step 7: Milk
Add milk. I add enough to cover the oatmeal and saturate it. In a big bowl like this, that is about 1 1/2 cups. (With more milk, the oatmeal will be thin and soupy. With less milk, the oatmeal is thick and sticky.)
You can use skim or 1% milk; both are good for creating a creamy texture. You could also use water, but I hate oatmeal made with water, since it tends to be thin, clumpy, and flavorless.
Step 8: Microwave
Now put the bowl in the microwave to cook. I usually put the bowl in for a minute, then take it out and stir it, and then microwave again for about 35 seconds. This keeps it from clumping up.
Cooking time will vary by microwave and by size of bowl. (My huge serving size requires extra cooking time!)
Step 9: Eat
Sit back, relax, and enjoy eating your bowl of oatmeal!
* My bowl of oatmeal is pretty darn big. If for some reason you'd rather not have a 1,000 calorie bowl of oatmeal, you can scale back the portion sizes as you prefer. But I usually eat at least 3,000 calories per day, so my breakfast is usually this size.

Etiquette, when a friend is interested in your partner
Ugh. I have a situation now that is troubling to me and I would love to get some opinions from impartial people who are not involved in the situation.
I have a long-distance OSO who is very important to me, but whom I only get to see about four weekends a year. So far, half of those weekends have been spent at a social event with other poly friends around as well.
My OSO and I would both like to see more of each other, but it has not been possible, mainly because of him. I have a little more flexibility than he does, although seeing him is always tricky at best for me too.
I have a close friend who also goes to the same social event. She has always had at least one other partner at the event, but she still tends to stress out over the possibility of being lonely or bored there when her partner is busy with another partner. Usually, that is a non-issue, it is full of congenial people and there is always plenty going on.
My close friend and my OSO got to know each other a little at the most recent incarnation of this event, and liked each other. I was pleased.
My friend knows very well that I feel more than a bit time-starved in my relationship with OSO, as well as sex-starved (his libido is nowhere near mine), and has been sympathetic. I speak with her very regularly, probably three or four times a week, sometimes at length.
I just found out, from OSO, that she initiated an email correspondance with him to discuss doing "energy work" on him the next time we all see each other. (She is learning how to do this from a friend, she has no formal training in Reiki or anything like it.) OSO agreed that he would enjoy this, but specified that the energy work (which I am assuming involves touch) should be non-sexual. He later qualified that by saying that it was not that he did not find her attractive, he did, and perhaps a relationship could form between them in the future, but he did not feel open to one at this time.
She responded by saying that she thought of herself as a "cat" and liked to "rub up against people" and that sexual play was, for her, to be shared freely with people she liked, "like toddlers getting to know each other in a sandbox." She then listed the sex play she would be open to in this context (it included touching genitals, but no penetrative sex). She then said she was not a "swinger" (WTF?), and penetrative sex would have to be cleared with the wife if she was dealing with a married man. (OSO is married.)
She did not actually come out and SAY that she wanted to do these things with HIM, but she did say she found him attractive. She even concluded her message by saying that, in addition to seeing him at the next social event, perhaps she could be invited to my HOUSE the next time he visits me in my area and do "energy work" with him there!
OSO responded jokingly to her by saying that he wasn't that easy. He told me about the exchange, and then showed it to me, because he thought it was amusing. He did not see it as a sexual come-on. I do, though.
I talked to my friend for two HOURS this past Monday, when she had sent that email offering her "services three days prior, and she never said a word about it. I found out a day later, from him.
I am not upset with OSO, who was very honest and transparent with me about what happened, even if his viewpoint on it differs from mine, but I am very upset with my friend, who knows very well that my time with him is precious and rare to me, especially our intimate time, and, beyond that, as my good friend, I feel she should not have been attempting to create a sexual situation with my partner without discussing it with me first. She offered my husband the same thing about a year ago and he declined with thanks. She did ask me about it then, although I do not know if it was discussed with me before it was discussed with him. I knew he wasn't attracted to her that way, so I didn't worry about it at the time.
What is the code of etiquette for this situation? One good thing that may have come out of it is that OSO and I are communicating a bit more about our expectations and what we are and aren't open to with others, but I am wondering if I can ever feel the same way about my friend, whose behavior I see as thoughtless, selfish, and disrespectful.

In new CCA 201525010, the IRS addressed the issue of whether a general "exculpatory" debt of an LLC is recourse or non-recourse for purposes of classifying debt-relief as potential cancellation of debt (COD) income. Recourse treatment means the debt forgiveness creates COD income. Non-recourse means the debt relief is treated as proceeds from the sale of the underlying property. In this case the taxpayer wanted COD treatment because they were eligible for a special COD income exclusion.
Ultimately the IRS said that there is authority both for and against treating exculpatory debt of a single purpose LLC as recourse debt for COD purposes. However, the IRS concluded that in making this determination, the Section 752 partnership regulations were not relevant and the answer turned on the more general test as to whether the debt was recourse or non-recourse to the LLC itself (as opposed to looking at whether the members were at risk through their member guarantees).
In the ruling, the real estate LLC had a first and second mortgage, with the second mortgage lender also having guarantees and interest pledges by the LLC members. The loan documents required the LLC to be a single purpose entity (SPE). The loan documents did not specifically say the loan was recourse or non-recourse. But by being an SPE, the assets were necessarily limited, although technically all LLC assets were at risk for the second mortgage that was at issue.
After a non-judicial foreclosure by the first mortgage lender, the second mortgage lender forgave its debt. The LLC members reported the debt forgiveness as COD income, and excluded a portion of the income under the Section 108 insolvency exception. Both the taxpayers and the IRS acknowledged that if the loan was recourse, the loan forgiveness was COD income, but if it was non-recourse, the forgiveness was treated as disposition proceeds from the underlying real estate. In this case the taxpayer asserted recourse treatment, because it could exclude the income under the Section 108 insolvency exception.
The taxpayers argued that the debt must be recourse for COD purposes because it was recourse under the Section 752 partnership debt sharing rules because there were member guarantees. The taxpayer noted that this result was implied in the Great Plains Gasification Associates v. Commissioner Tax Court memorandum decision. In the CCA, the IRS concludes that the implication in that case is erroneous and the more general "Section 1001" rules apply to determine whether the loan is recourse or non-recourse. Having said that, the IRS said that there was legal support under the general Section 1001 rules for treating such SPE exculpatory debt as either recourse or non-recourse and further factual development of the specific case was needed.

Tomorrow's Topic (9-23-09)
As we progress through the first several chapters, you will notice most of the stuff we are discussing deals with the administrative side of sports medicine and athletic training. It is important to remember that all the pieces of the puzzle will start to come together.
Tomorrow we will begin to discuss Prehabilitation and Conditioning. Prehabiliation is very similar to training for a specific sport! Some things to ask yourself:
What is the purpose of desiging an implementing a weight/cardio program?
How are they designed for specific sports?
How can this program decrease injuries?
This and more…tomorrow…..

Dwyane Wade and sons grace Ebony mag cover in support of Trayvon Martin
In the wake of the Zimmerman trial which found the George Zimmerman not guilty of killing 17 year old Trayvon Martin, the controversial stand your ground law and racial profiling were hot topics in America.
Everyone from athletes, entertainers, politicians and joe public was outraged at the verdict. But more importantly, the verdict sparked a new round of conversations being had in non white homes all over America; How to deal with society as a young black male.
We've seen what the Miami Heat did last season when they donned hoodies in support of Trayvon Martin and bringing George Zimmerman to trial. Wade was also one of the first athletes to publicly say something about the verdict via his twitter feed.
Now he and other celebrities are on the cover of Ebony magazine wearing hoodies, asking the world to never forget and more importantly, where do we go from here?
About Ed
Ed is one half of the Sports Brothers. He has been in the radio industry for 14 years working in several formats including urban and talk. Upon returning to Miami in 2006 and working at WTPS, he and Jeff Fox were paired up and started The Sports Brothers.

Stony Brook hopes new AD Shawn Heilbron can move athletic program to next level
It challenges the imagination to picture Stony Brook University, in its bucolic North Shore setting with its quaint-sounding name, competing at the top level against major public institutions that are on a par academically but far ahead in athletics. But that's the long-range vision that SBU president Dr. Samuel L. Stanley had in mind when he hired athletic fundraising expert Shawn Heilbron as the Seawolves' new athletic director.
"As we continue to push this university forward, I want someone who understands what athletics are like at our peer institutions,'' Stanley said. "That was important to me.''
With his background at public Pacific-12 schools Oregon State and UCLA and even private school SMU in the American Athletic Conference, Heilbron fit the profile Stanley was seeking to reach the next level. That's not something Stanley expects to happen overnight.
"We like to be visionary, but we're going to be realistic as well,'' Stanley said. "We don't want to jump ahead of where we should be. Shawn and I talked a lot about that. We're going to do this in a logical and strategic way.''
In Stanley's view, that starts with continuing Stony Brook's success in sports other than football in the America East Conference and helping the football program compete consistently for the Colonial Athletic Association title and a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) postseason bid. The key is growing private fundraising support to make that happen and then putting fannies in the seats for football and men's basketball.
The prospect of a move to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) might seem like a pipe dream now, but the idea is to position Stony Brook for such a move during the next decade.
"One can't talk about moving to FBS until one is a very successful FCS program,'' Stanley said. "I can't tell you how long it will take to get there. I'm less interested in that than I am about putting the process in place and putting the components in place to help us move up.''
That, in a nutshell, is Heilbron's job, and those who know him best say he's up to the task. His last stop was Oregon State, where he served as senior associate athletic director for development.
"I know Stony Brook is up-and-coming,'' OSU athletic director Bob DeCarolis said. "It seems like they want to get to the next level. Shawn saw a lot of opportunity . . . He brings a lot of energy to the job. He's got a motor that doesn't stop.''
DeCarolis said Heilbron "ramped things up'' in terms of relations with Oregon State's donors. He created the "Coach's Circle'' for football and basketball, providing access to those coaches for donors who gave specific gifts to those sports over and above their annual gifts to OSU. Heilbron's signature achievement was the role he played in re-branding Oregon State's primary athletic fundraising program as "Our Beaver Nation.''
Central Florida athletic director Todd Stansbury, who worked at OSU before taking his current position, called Heilbron the "driving force'' behind "Our Beaver Nation.'' Stansbury said Heilbron was able to move the "transactional giver,'' who receives perks such as preferential parking and seating, into the "philanthropic'' category, supporting the program at a higher level.
Heilbron will encounter a different set of problems at Stony Brook, which competes in a New York metro market with nine professional teams and doesn't draw from a football-oriented culture, but Stansbury says Heilbron is prepared.
"At Oregon State, you're in the Pac-12, but it's also a place you have to work,'' Stansbury said. "It's not a program where all you do is turn on the lights and people show up. At UCLA, you compete against everybody and everything.
"If Stony Brook wants to move to FBS, it's definitely possible. It's one of the premier academic institutions in the country, and it's in the New York market. There's a lot of heavy lifting, but Stony Brook can do it.''
Oregon State football coach Mike Riley said Heilbron made a major impact on his program, managing a variety of projects, including building practice fields and adding other amenities.
"He was very good at building relationships and trust,'' Riley said. "That separated him. He was very good in front of people and was able to articulate a broader vision. It was fun to work with him.
"I know he won't have one bit of trouble at Stony Brook. Coming to Corvallis from Los Angeles is culture shock, and he fit in immediately. He'll learn the lay of the land.''
At his introductory news conference on Friday, Heilbron recognized the successful foundation he inherits at Stony Brook, calling it a "launching pad'' for success. At the same time, he said, "What you do at UCLA and Oregon State may not work at Stony Brook. So I need to learn the culture, I need to know the people and I need to know the area.''
Stansbury said it's not Heilbron's style to "blow up'' the staff already in place and noted that there were few changes at Oregon State. But Heilbron will attempt to energize the athletic department and drive the fundraising necessary to move it to the next level.
"Our goal is to position Stony Brook athletics and make sure we spread the brand,'' Heilbron said. "I think there's been a lot of great work done on doing that in New York and on Long Island. I see our priority as stretching that coast to coast so that, when our coaches go out to recruit, everybody knows who Stony Brook is.''

MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST — Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) announced funding for Mississippi to assist in continued Hurricane Katrina recovery. The funding was approved through the FY 2009 Supplemental Appropriations bill.
The Conference Report, which was agreed to by the Senate and the House of Representatives, was approved yesterday by the U.S. Senate.
"Final passage of the federal supplemental appropriations bill for fiscal year 2009 is a milestone in our continuing recovery from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the worst natural disaster in American history," said Gov. Haley Barbour.
Funding details include:
• $439 million for Mississippi's Barrier Islands — Funds will be used to fortify and restore the islands, which were severely damaged during the hurricanes of 2005. The funding is provided in response to a report from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers identifying restoration activities and estimating the funding needed.
• $80 million for new housing vouchers for areas impacted by Hurricane Katrina — Funding will enable the State of Mississippi, along with public housing authorities and case management services, to work to expeditiously place Mississippians who were displaced by Katrina in permanent homes.
• Extension of FEMA disaster housing case management — Provisions in the bill will allow FEMA to continue reimbursing Mississippi through March 2010 for activities to help find permanent housing solutions for the approximately 2,000 Mississippi households remaining in FEMA housing.
• $49 million for the Mississippi Army Ammunition Plant (MSAAP) at Stennis Space Center — Funding will go to repair the former MSAAP, which was damaged by Katrina and is scheduled to be transferred from Army control back to NASA under provisions of the 2005 round of BRAC. The Army operated the 4,400-acre plant from 1984-1990, employing more than 3,500. Since its closure in 1990, the Army has deferred maintenance and invested minimal resources in the upkeep of the property.

Scotland v England 11/18/2014 International Soccer Friendly Preview Odds and Prediction
England vs Scotland
Tuesday 18th November 2014 20:00(GMT)
The Line: Scotland 11/4 Draw 12/5 England 1/1 See the Latest Odds
TV: ITV, Sky Sport, ESPN3
Celtic Park will be the venue for the Oldest Rivalry in football on tuesday as the Auld Enemy Scotland and England come head to head for the 118th time. England will be in a confident mood having won all their qualifying matches thus far in their group. Wayne Rooney had his 100th cap on Saturday and marked it with a goal from the penalty spot as England cruised to a 3-1 win over Slovenia after conceding a goal just after half time. Danny Wellbeck netted the other two as the Arsenal center forward continued his strong International form. Wellbeck has proven to be an out and out goalscorer when playing through the center for England. Manchester United captain Rooney has been the key man for England for many years now and will again be the central figure when England take on Scotland on Tuesday.
For Scotland this game comes four days after beating their Celtic cousins Ireland, that game was played at a hectic pace and scotland eventually got the goal through a well worked set piece involving Celtic's Scott Brown and Shaun Maloney. Stephen Fletcher will cause the English defence problems. This Scotland team will play with energy and a high intensity game. Gordon Strachan will know many of the English players well from his time managing in England and his team will also be playing against players they have faced at club level. The Scottish crowd will create an amazing atmosphere in Celtic Park.
USA TODAY Sports
I am going to take both teams to score here. The draw is probably worth backing and 1-1 in particular. I think both sides will start with a strong team and then bring in wholesale changes. this is the type of game I dont generally like betting on as literally anything could happen but just for interest I will have something on both teams to score.

I love making shirts for my kids, especially for the 4th of July. It's fun to have them wear it to the parade. This year I decided that it would be fun to let them make their own shirts instead of me making it for them. Sometimes it's hard for me to just let the kids make things without me interfering but I think that it's fun for them, so I did it 🙂
So this is what we came up with:
This is how we made them:
I took some plain white shirts, acrylic paint and some spray bottles.
I added the paint into the spray bottle and then added a little water into it.
Using my Cricut, I cut out stars out of vinyl, just regular vinyl. I had the kids put the stars all over the shirts.
Then we put some wrapping paper inside the shirt, so the paint wouldn't go through to the other side.
Then I let the kids paint them. They loved this!!
This is what they looked after all painted. Once it dried, we peeled off the stars.
Using my Cricut again, I cut out some heat transfer and then ironed it onto the shirts.
And that's it! I love how different all of them look.
I can't wait to have them wear these next week!

Citation: 435 U.S. 223 (1978).
Summary: A 1978 U.S. Supreme Court opinion in which the Court held that a state could not conduct a criminal trial with less than six jurors and doing so violated a criminal defendant's right to a jury trial guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment.
The Court supported its ruling with empirical research showing a correlation between jury size and the accuracy of the results. The Court noted, "[a]s juries decrease in size, then they are less likely to have members who remember each of the important pieces of evidence or argument. Furthermore, the smaller the group, the less likely it is to overcome the biases of its members to obtain an accurate result. When individual and group decisionmaking were compared, it is seen that groups performed better because prejudices of individuals were frequently counterbalanced, and objectivity resulted."

"Care for the Carer"
About: Older people's mental health / Community mental health - Southampton Older people's mental health Community mental health - Southampton SO40 2RZ
Posted by AndreaS (as ),
I am caring for my elderly mother with vascular dementia, who has lived with us for the last two years. She has other serious health problems and has had to move away from her home town which she misses very much. I have no other close relatives on her side of the family, to share in her care or decision making.
Our Adult Mental Health team at Newtown House in Eastleigh arranged for me to attend a nine week course at the Carer's Suport Group. This has helped a great deal as we learned all about the various forms of dementia from healthcare professionals, along with how to look after our own health and things to do, to increase our client's wellbeing. We were given all the information we could want and various contact numbers for other services that we can access should we need to.
This has made all the difference, I no longer feel alone and have a better grasp of the situation, knowing that I can cope with the changes that will occur in my mother's condition, which can be frightening if you are not prepared for it.
I think everyone who is caring for a person with dementia would benefit from this course and resources should be put to making this available to them.

Post #4
The ending of The Giver is left open for the reader to decide what has happened to Jonas and Gabe. The author Lois Lowry was quoted in an interview about the true ending as, "There isn't one. There is a right one for each of us, and it depends on our own beliefs, our own hopes." Now that you have read the end of the book, what do you think happened to the two boys?
93 comments:
(I honestly didn't like the ending.. at all.)ReplyDelete
I think when they finished going down the hill they froze to death.
I think at the end of the book both Gabriel and Jonas die. I think this because at the end of the book Jonas says he can see red and green lights. I think that the lights are just in his mind and he is slowly dying in the cold.ReplyDelete
I think that Jonas and Gabe came upon a city or a state. With restaurants, and a lot of colors. I think that maybe Jonas and Gabe reached the city or state when they were trying to escape from their community.ReplyDelete
I think the boys found a family and a home. They are loved and taken care of by there family. Everything turns out fine and they now live a happy and loving life.ReplyDelete
The first time I read The Giver, at the end I thought that Gabe and Jonas started living in the house that they hear people singing from.ReplyDelete
When they started hearing the music, they headed into a city with a cheerful community that welcomed them. They were in a church and they were celebrating Christmas there. They stayed there over night and they got asked to stay with someone and they basically were adopted. They then got a bunch of Christmas presents the next day and Jonas was happy.ReplyDelete
I think the boys will survive in a new community. They might die, or they might live. I think that they will find a new place, but it might not last very long, as they are not from that community, and they didn't ever belong there.ReplyDelete
I think the two boys went back to the community, not knowing, and seeing that the giver had changed everything about itReplyDelete
I think what happen is that Jonas and Gabe go to the light which is a light to a house(which is what I think) and then they hear the beautiful music. I also think that the people that live at the house and invite Jonas and Gade inside. I also think it is christmas because of the lights and the music I think it is christmas. I also think that the people that own the house take Jonas and Gade in and raises them.ReplyDelete
I feel that Jonas and Gabriel found what was lurking in the distance, the house which in a memory contained a family enjoying Christmas,maybe a house filled with rebels,people who escaped from other communities, maybe people who never went to a community in a first place. I feel that Jonas and Gabriel reached there detestation and are living in a place far from the community only hoping one day things will return the way they used to. with all communities.ReplyDelete
I think Jonas will make it to another community then he will want to go back to the old community and the community that jonas was in will be different.ReplyDelete
I believe that the two boys found "Elsewhere" which would be modern countries that are open and diverse, sort of like the United States, or other large countries like Russia, or perhaps China.ReplyDelete
After reading the end of the book I think that Jonas and Gabriel will take a sled to the bottom of the hill and once they reach the bottom the memories will release to everyone. Jonas and Gabriel will not die, but they can not return to the town. As they move forward they will encounter many of Jonas's memories. He will see Christmas and the music he heard will be carolers singing to a family. Jonas and Gabriel will find love in another family. They will live on a happy life full of memories.ReplyDelete
I think that Jonas and Gabe are going to get out of the community, and they are going to continue to travel and look for other people. I predict that they will find some sort of civilization other than a community, and Jonas and Gabe will continue their life there.ReplyDelete
I think that Jonas and Gabe didn't find elsewhere. Instead they got lost and Jonas raised Gabe as his own in the forest.ReplyDelete
At the end of the book, it stops at a scene where Jonas and Gabe find a cabin. I believe that the boys went inside and stayed at the cabin until they were able to heal from the long journey, and so they can rest and get fed. But they don't stay for long because he promised the Giver he would return, so they come back to the community and it is in disarray as people try to cope with all the emotions they're given and the elders are hopelessly trying to calm everyone down. So they end up finding the giver and working to help everyone in the community cope with all the new emotions.ReplyDelete
What I think happens is that Jonas and Gabe live in that community for a little while. But since it is a nearby community the original community comes to find them. Then they are on the run from community to community until they escape. they then live in peace for many years to come.ReplyDelete
I believe that the two boys made it to elsewhere, and are trying to convince somebody to come back with them that don't have to follow the same rules as their community. If they bring him back, then the community would really see what being a person with feelings and preferences is like. If they can't convince anybody to come back with them, I think they are staying with a family together and trying to learn the ways without the memories. They are children, and they should be able to act like it.ReplyDelete
At the end of the book, Jonas hears music. Jonas actually hears music from behind him and in front of him. What I think happened is that he and Gabe died. They are now actually in elsewhere; also known as heaven or hell. I guess that depends on how they lived their lives. My prediction is that Jonas went to heaven though, because many people see heaven as a beautiful place full of love and music and other things like that. If this is the real "ending" of this book, the sequel would definitely be interesting!ReplyDelete
I believe that at the end of The Giver, Jonas and Gabriel unfortunately die of hypothermia. The book said that he was either almost out or completely out of warm memories by the time they reached the hill. Also he kept falling in the snow and Gabriel was shivering violently from the cold. When they reached the top of the hill, the book said that all he could see was the road and that was it, just the road going on for miles. I think that it's unlikely that they could have survived such harsh conditions like that without proper equipment, which they didn't have. Unfortunately to me I don't think they survived and they passed away on the hill.ReplyDelete
I think that they boys make it to a different community. I think Jonas starts a new life in a different community. I think Jonas will find a women that he actually does love, not just assigned. I also think he will raise Gabriel with her.ReplyDelete
I would like to think that the two boys were saved of hypothermia and starvation by the people in the house celebrating Christmas. They were taken in that night and celebrated with them. Treated as the family's own after Jonas tells their harrowing story. After the years, they begin to refer to Jonas and Gabriel as their sons. And soon, Jonas grows old enough to move out of the house. He lives and works in the country that he found the family in and soon, his memories of the Community fade significantly. He only likes to remember his family now. But sometimes, when he's least expecting it, the memories that the Giver gave to him come back slightly. Gabriel soon grows old enough to move out of the house too, never even remembering the Community, as he was so young when he was there. I think that the family who took them in keep the Community secret from him until he is old enough to understand.ReplyDelete
Jonas's communities and the few other communities were created so they would survive, even if the rest of the human race was wiped out. But slowly, the communities were corrupted by the Council of Elders. So, when Jonas and Gabe escape from their community and travel far into the wilderness, they find the rest of the world. These people are normal, like us, except for advancements in technology. Jonas and Gabe then have to live in an emotional world, where everyone has love, hate, sadness, and joy.ReplyDelete
I think that Jonas died. I'm not so sure about Gabe, but i'm sure he died to. I mostly think this because he experienced the telltale flash of memories and you see your life go by, and you see the light, and you just fade away.ReplyDelete
I think they were taken in by a family in the town that they found. They were probably also brought up like normal kids there and sent to school. I think they would be brought up like normal kids after they got there. The communities might also be investigated afterwards.ReplyDelete
I would like to think that Jonas and Gabriel walked toward the light and music of the house they came across. I think with the lack of details given that they could have also died. I want to believe the first possibility, but they went into the light. I wish Lois Lowry would have given the book a more complete ending.ReplyDelete
I think that the two boys were taken in be some people in the "community" where they were headed. They may have finally been able to experience things that they never would have if they stayed where they came from. Jonas and Gabe may finally get a real family that cares and loves them.ReplyDelete
I know this probably doesn't happen, but if you think about it this could happen. I think the two boys faint from the cold because they are numb and their bodies start to shut down. Nobody knows the two are out there so they end up dying because the cold snow.ReplyDelete
When I first read the book (a couple of years ago), I thought that the boys ended up finding an orphanage. I'm not quite sure why. It might have been the fact that I had watched the movie before reading the book. Now that I have reread the book, I think that the boys are about to pass out from exhaustion. When people run on very little energy, hallucinations can occur. I think that the singing mentioned in the end of the book is a sign that Jonas is hallucinating and is about to pass out from exhaustion.ReplyDelete
In my mind, I am HOPING that Jonas and Gabe found another group of people, people different from the ones living in the community. But in my mind, I feel that both Jonas and Gabe end up dying. It's a pretty dark thought, but it's just the impression I get... I mean, at the end of the book, Lois Lowry talks like it's the end, as in the end of their lives. That's what I got from the ending.ReplyDelete
I think that Jonas and Gabriel found a place to call home. When the book ends I think that they were rescued by a family and they were able to live with them for a while. Then Gabriel and Jonas traveled the world for a few years visiting other towns and telling them about their community. Lastly, Jonas and Gabriel settled down in a town and lived happily ever after.ReplyDelete
What I think happen to the two boys, is they did get to elsewhere and everyone did get the memories. I believed that the Giver however was not able to handle all the people who got memories and he ended up getting in trouble by the committee of elders. Then for the punishment the Giver was to get sent to elsewhere where he found Jonas who ended up dying from extreme conditions.ReplyDelete
I think the two boys ended their sled ride in a neighborhood like we have today. A few people from the neighborhood came out of their houses to see what was going on. They gave Jonas a house and some food to get off his feet. One man explained how everything worked in their world to Jonas, who only had wisps of a memory of the place. Jonas eventually got a job and raised Gabriel until he got married(as he could feel love). Gabriel had gone to school in the new place until he was old enough to start a family of his own. Both Jonas and Gabriel lived happily in this new life where they were free to make their own decisions until they passed away of old age(not release). The old community had to deal with the memories when Jonas left, and they started to make more and more choices until they were just like the rest of the world.ReplyDelete
I think that Gabe and Jonas have become so cold that they are on the edge of death. I believe that when Jonas said he was on the sled again that he was just dreaming and that he is about to pass away. I think that the boys had just become so cold and weak that they began to imagine things. And that is the reason Jonas saw the sled and lights.ReplyDelete
At the end of the book, I believe that Jonas and Gabriel find a home in an outlying community in the place they call elsewhere because they had to given people a choice when the community started to stay or not. They would then stay there for a while or until Gabe got older and then try to go home to see his family and friends. After this, I believe that he will go back to their community from which he had raised Gabe because he might have a wife and Gabe's friends and life would be there. Although he might invite his family or the Giver to come back with him if they would want to. He would probably visit off and on, but I don't think that the village would ever be his home and there would be too many bad memories for him to bare. So, I think he would move on with his life and start over.ReplyDelete
Now that I have finished the book I think that the two boys have found their "Elsewhere". I think that they have found a house with people, music, and Christmas in the air. I think that when they approach the house the people will be there to take them in and help them get warm. Through the giving of Christmas the family in the house will be happy to care for them and Jonas and Gabriel will be able to live their lives right.ReplyDelete
I think that Gabriel and Jonas found another community, which is more accepting. I believe that since they traveled so far from their community, they will find a group of people, possible even a civilization, much like the times now. I think that the community they find will have seasons, animals, and emotions. I believe that Gabriel and Jonas will stay there for awhile. When Gabriel is older, they could return to the community to see what became of it, and to see if everyone can experience emotions and color. Overall, I think that Jonas and Gabriel will be happy in their new civilization.ReplyDelete
I think that the two boys are going to go up to that house and ask if they will take them in. Jonas will tell the people his awful story and they will feel bad and take him in. Jonas and Gabe will live like these people are their real family and will learn all about this new world and live like them.Even though Gabe and Jonas were technically never brothers they are going to "be brothers" as they live their new lives.ReplyDelete
I believe that Jonas and Gabe will be taken in by one of the citizens of Elsewhere. There will be warmth and food waiting for them inside of the home, but this wouldn't be a random home, it would be their home with real relatives and memories. I think that all of Jonas's memories were actually his, but if he tried to describe anything to the Elsewhere people they wouldn't believe him. Everything would be perfect, but not the kind that was experienced before, it would be humanly perfect.ReplyDelete
Since Jonas and Gabe were cold and hungry I think they died and went to heaven. They could not have survived out there alone without food and without a heat source. Gabe was weak as it was before since he was still a baby. Jonas described that they were starving and that he barely was able to catch food.ReplyDelete
I'm going to be as subtle as I can. I think they died, I am not good at being subtle.Think about it for a second though. They were starving, cold, alone, and what are the odds that there is the exact same sled on the exact same hill, after it had only been snowing for five minutes? I don't think that's a coincidence I think they died.ReplyDelete
I honestly think that at the end of 'The Giver', Jonas goes insane. They haven't been eating for a long time, and they're stuck in the snow for long time. Those aren't conditions that human beings can survive through unprepared.ReplyDelete
Jonas started hearing music from nowhere. How would that happen? It wouldn't. There's also a very low change that Gabe lived through the cold and starvation, so I honestly think that Jonas is just going insane.
I think that after they got to the bottom of the hill there was a house that was decorated and it was the house from the Givers favorite memory about Christmas.ReplyDelete
I think the boys came back to the community. When they came back to the community everyone praised them. Jonas and Gabe became the new leaders of the community. Together all the receivers worked together and the community was just like America.ReplyDelete
Jonas and Gabriel went to "Elsewhere". I think they will find the different colors and the different people. They would then meet the different people and the people would soon take care of them by taking them to a shelter that has a fireplace. The person would give them food and coffee too.ReplyDelete
I think that, at the end of the book The Giver, the two boys reach the town they discovered. Gabriel and Jonas are taken in by a newlywed couple, but Jonas does not make it. He dies of hypothermia and starvation, but Gabe is saved. The young boy grows up with the couple who saved him, referring to them as his mother and father. He grows up hearing the story of his heroic brother Jonas, who brought Gabe to the couple and saved him.ReplyDelete
I think that Gabe and Jonas end up finding a world outside of the communities, I think this because once they found a bird, it meant to me that Gabe and Jonas found more than a bird, they found freedom and life.ReplyDelete
Really anything could've happened to the tow boys, they could have been lost and had to take refuge in the house, maybe the door was locked. People could come out of the house and greet the two boys who just appeared. I personally believe they went to the house, and they were greeted by the people in the house where they explained that they were from the community, were adopted and lived happily ever after.ReplyDelete
I think logically they would, sadly, both die eventually. Jonas is very young, plus he is also watching over Gabriel too which must be difficult. They don't exactly know where they are going, and have limited to no resources. That is what I think, but I'm guessing that doesn't happen because most authors don't have the main characters die.ReplyDelete
I believe that at the end of the story Jonas and Gabriel get to their destination. I think that Jonas is a fighter and will survive through their hard times and reach the community they are searching for. He is motivated to keep going by his hopes and dreams of finding a place that does not deprive people of love, joy, hope etc. He also hopes to find a community that accepts all people and there diversity.ReplyDelete
I think at the end of the book Jonas is having either a hallucination or dream. My theory is that Jonas, due to the hard journey, is deathly ill. He wants a moment of comfort so the memory comes to his mind, only he believes it is real. The reason I believe this is because Jonas has had this memory come to him in a dream before, and he can call memories back to him. Jonas, can also play the memories differently when he calls them back, like when he looked to find the sleds color, so he just imagined it with Gabe there too.ReplyDelete
I think that the boys made it to a place that sameness is very little. They could have made it to a real elsewhere and not have to be released. Jonas said he thought he heard laughing and music but it could have just been the memories getting stronger. I think that he won't have to think hard for the memories to come and that he could pass them onto Gabe so he can understand.ReplyDelete
I sadly think that Jonas and Gabe passed away. I think that their Elsewhere is heaven. I believe this because at the end of the book Jonas and Gabe were starving and freezing. Then when they went down the hill they lost conciseness and had a sense of warmth and joy. I think this is telling us that they went to a better place, Elsewhere.ReplyDelete
The book describes windows with different colored lights shining through them so I think they found a house. The book also says he hears singing so I think that whoever is in their is celebrating Christmas. Before he found the house he found the sled so I figured that he would find other people in that area. I'm not really sure why the people inside are celebrating Christmas but I think that the house is where Jonas and Gabriel go to be safe. I think they are finally in a safe place.ReplyDelete
I think that when the two boys got to the bottom of the hill they came across "Elsewhere." The people of Elsewhere all greeted him and somehow knew that they were coming because of some sort of highly advanced technology. The memories were all released to the community but the Giver helped them through it and they learned that their way wasn't right and that things could change. The two boys continued to live there happily.ReplyDelete
I feel that Jonas did not escape the community.I say this because in my opinion I think Jonas is just dreaming about hearing the Christmas music and sledding because he can dream about those memories and so I think that he's just dreaming that Gab and him escaped and he is really still in the givers office mourning Gabs release.ReplyDelete
At the end of the book, The Giver, they leave the ending unknown because Lois Lowry quotes, "It depends on your own beliefs, or own hopes." What I think what happened to Jonas and Gabe is that they find another community. When they are sledding down the snow hill, Jonas thinks he hear music or an echo. This might be him hearing things in his head or might even be real people who find them and help them. If it was just him hearing things, I then think the book is giving a clue that they will suffer of hunger or freeze to death. My hopes are though that they find a community that helps build their strengths again and become friends with the new people.ReplyDelete
I think that Gabe and Jonas are in a present day town like Bedford. It is where all the people who have ran from communities live now. They have real lives and get to experience normal things ! I think Fiona will run away once she sees it's possible because Jonas did it, and will find him and they will fall in love & live happily ever after at "elsewhere".ReplyDelete
I think that they continued the journey. They pushed and survived the cold winter. They then find the real world. They find out that their old community is separated from the rest of the world. They can now be free and live a normal, happy, decision making, colorful life. His community then receives his memories of the trip. They all would rater live in the real world so the whole community is shut down and everyone forgets everything that happened. Everyone can now live a happy and free life. The boys find their family again and now they can officially adopt Gabriel because there are no more rules to say that you can only have two children.ReplyDelete
Jonas took Gabe and left to go to elsewhere. I think that they died from starvation and dehydration and other causes.ReplyDelete
I think the two boys went out into a whole different world where it had all the things missing in the town like colors. Also they started a new community with real feelings.ReplyDelete
I think at the end of the book "The Giver" Gabe and Jonas Where starting to get close to a Human community. That is not Have Sameness and can think for them self's.ReplyDelete
I think the two boys eventually ended up finding Elsewhere. After the ending of the book I believe that they kept on fighting and trudging on and found Elsewhere. After they found Elsewhere I believe they ended up living a happy life with many choices, the ability to see color, hear music, and to make many important decisions. I think the ending of The Giver was very happy for Jonas and Gabe.ReplyDelete
I think the two boys ended up finding what they call Elsewhere. I think Elsewhere is a place like we live in today. I think they found a place with trees, hills, animals, weather, color and many other things. I think the place that they found was like some of the memories Jonas was given from the giver.ReplyDelete
I think the boys found a wonderful family. I think they found our world. They could be happy and live with the family they had found. They could have everything Jonas ever wanted. Gabe could have a life as a kid. He could live out is wonderful life. Jonas can find love and happiness. He could raise Gabe as his brother. I think they would go on to have the life Jonas always dreamed about for himself, and now Gabe can experience the wonderful joys of life Jonas can.ReplyDelete
What I think happened to the two boys is that they died and that was their way to heaven.ReplyDelete
I think that the boys got to find and live they wanted to live.ReplyDelete
I think that Jonas and Gabe passed, I say this because they were starving and freezing at the end of the book. Their elsewhere may be Heaven.ReplyDelete
I believe they find the Cabin of the good memory of love and live there for the rest of their life. I think Jonas then let Gabe experience the life of a normal human.ReplyDelete
I think that they found a good family and are living fine and Jonas lets Gabe live a normal life and learn all the good things about freedom of everything.ReplyDelete
I think that Jonas and Gabe end up dying because they were freezing and hungry. Plus he started hearing music out of no where and seeing colors.ReplyDelete
I believe that Jonas was trap in a memory, kinda. I think when they fell down the hill they died there and as Jonas went down he wanted to believe that their was still hope. So his mind made him think their was a house at the end of the hill, making him think that he and Gabe are safe when really they died from the cold weather and lack of food.ReplyDelete
I think that Jonas and Gabe found a family to stay with in the cold weather.ReplyDelete
I honestly think that Jonas and Gabe found somewhere to stay, I don't think that they died because there are other books about them. That's why I think they found a family to stay with and somewhere safe to stay.ReplyDeleteReplies
You need to remember that this book was written before the others, so you shouldn't take that into account when figuring out what message the author was trying to convey.Delete
In my opinion I think the two boys Jonas and Gabe ended up living. I think where they ended up was their place of "elsewhere". I feel when they saw that house that was down the hill there that's where they'd be staying with the family that's there. In my mind I feel as if they will be living a new life now and a very different one from their old community. I do not think they died because Jonas is a strong person. This is my opinion on this.ReplyDelete
I think that unfortunately, Jonas and Gabe end up not surviving. Jonas did all he could to keep Gabe alive, which meant his chance of surviving was even lower. Because of starvation and the weather, Jonas and Gabe would die before reaching elsewhere.ReplyDelete
Aubree Ellis 3rd hourReplyDelete
I think Jonas and Gabe didn't end up making it back to the community. They had been hiking for a few days and needed more fuel such as food, water, and shelter. As you could see when they fell asleep before they found the sled, both Gabe and Jonas had black spots on their bodies. I am assuming that it is frost bite. If that is the case, they probably didn't make it much longer. Weather they made it to a safe home or not, they did something good for the whole community.
Now that I have read the end of the book, I believe the two boys ended up in a new world and lived. The end of the book made it sound like they were right back where they started, back in their community, but I think that it is another community that shares music, love, family and all of the things the other society did not have. Maybe the two societies are somehow connected because the book said that "they were waiting for him",Gabriel, and only the old community knew about Gabriel,but somehow I think the two boys ended up in a whole new Society.ReplyDelete
I think sadly,Gabe and Jonas don't make it back to the community. They were low on food and water, and needed more. They had been traveling for a few days. They both had what looked like frost bite. If frost bite is what they have, I don't foresee them making it much farther.ReplyDelete
I believe that Jonas and Gabriel survived. As I have not read the other books, I am unsure of their exact well-being. In my opinion, I think that the two boys reached "Elsewhere", also known as the cabin in the woods where the sled was located.ReplyDelete
- Alex MitchellDecember 19, 2016 at 4:23 PM
I believe that Jonas found what they call "Elsewhere" and lived a life happily ever after with Gabe. I think Lois Lowry intends that the story will have a happy ending after all the pain Jonas has gone through. All in all, Jonas and Gabe live happily ever after.ReplyDelete
I believe that Jonas was trap in a memory, kinda. I think when they fell down the hill they died there and as Jonas went down he wanted to believe that their was still hope. So his mind made him think their was a house at the end of the hill, making him think that he and Gabe are safe when really they died from the cold weather and lack of food.ReplyDelete
I believe that Gabe and Jonas don't make it back to the community. After crossing the boundary of memories I believe that the boys were to low on food and water to make it much longer than a day or two without shelter.ReplyDelete
- Tyler FinleyDecember 19, 2016 at 7:03 PM
I think that Jonas and Gabe will find a whole other civilization and that Jonas and Gabe will go to that civilization.ReplyDelete
I believe that Gabe and Jonas did not survive. They had enough food but it was the lack of water that had killed them. I believe that his last memory was of the music that the giver truly loved and treasured.ReplyDelete
I don't think Jonas and Gabriel made it back to the community, I do however, think they survived. Jonas knows enough that he could start up his own community. Or he could have found a community closer to where he was and stay there.ReplyDelete
I think that Jonas and Gabriel did not make it. I think that Jonas is caught up in memories of happy times,and the cabin he is seeing is the way of saying that they found there happiness but would not make it. As if that was the thing he thought of.ReplyDelete
I think that the ending gave you an idea of a death metaphor for both Gabe and Jonas. Jonas said he felt hope and music, which could possibly mean he was going to heaven with Gabe after they died of starvation and cold.ReplyDelete
I believe that Jonas and Gabriel had survived. At the end of the book Jonas had heard music from many people which may mean that there may be the memory of Christmas and love becoming a reality.ReplyDelete
i believe that gabe and Jonas did cross the boundary and then return and then Jonas would help the giver help the people with there confusion.ReplyDelete
To me the ending is a metaphor, it seems to me that it represents Jonas's and Gabriel's death. It seems that he is in the memories of good times, he is happy. This is his and Gabriel's heaven is a way. As sad as it may seem, to me that is what the ending of the book is. Although I have many different opinions on it, that is the one that stood out to me the most.ReplyDelete
I think the ending symbolizes Jonas and Gabriel's death. I thought that because it seemed a little weird that they all live in the community and all of a sudden there's a sled and a house from the memory The Giver gave Jonas. Plus the way Lowis Lowery described it, it seemed like they were sledding into "Heaven" or "Elsewhere". I mean the boys were sledding down the hill and all of a sudden they heard music. Sadly, that is what I think happened to Jonas and Gabe.ReplyDelete

Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn't understand that once love -- the deliria -- blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the government demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holoway has always looked forward to the day when she'll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy.
But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love.
To read from my to-be-read shelf.
I was lucky enough to see Lauren Oliver at a book signing last year and think she is an amazing person. That being said, her book had a lot to live up to. Delirium is the first book I've read of hers and I also have Before I Fall to look forward to.
I have to admit that when I first heard about this book, the premise seemed a little bit gimmicky to me, like it was something that would be hard to pull off. Love is a disease that people are cured of. Really? It's a neat idea but would it be a little bit too "after school special" for my taste? But there so many rave reviews and everyone said this was a must read. Therefore, I had to give it a try.
I'm glad I did! I enjoyed Lauren Oliver's writing style. It flows very beautifully and she has obviously thought through how the world might work if love really were thought of as a disease. She paints a very scary portrait. A nice touch were the proverbs and excerpts from books at the beginning of each chapter. No, not books that are published in our world. Books Lauren Oliver has made up especially for this one. It lent a huge hand to setting the tone of the book and was a bit of foreshadowing for each chapter that kept me guessing what would happen next.
As for the love story between Lena and Alex I also thought it was quite beautiful. Unfortunately I felt there was way too much time describing what happens and having Lena reflect on what was going on instead of putting in more action and dialogue. It made me feel a little bit disconnected to what was going on. I did enjoy their relationship though. Alex was so awesome :)
So does Delirium live up to the awesomeness that is Lauren Oliver? Not really. But that has more to do with just how awesome Lauren Oliver is rather than the quality of this book. I think she pulled off the story really well despite my earlier concerns and really enjoyed learning about her world. It is a book I would recommend with an open heart <3
I bought my copy.

Best Gifts For: The Guy Who Skis. A Lot.
Are you shopping for an avid skier (or snowboarder) this holiday season? Don't fret, we know exactly what he wants, and we're willing to share. Here are our picks for the best gifts for your favorite ski bum.
Smith ChromoPop Goggles
Gear Institute gave Smith an Outdoor Retailer Best New Gear award for their ChromoPop technology, first rolled out in their sunglasses, but in ski goggles it's especially brilliant. According to Smith, ChromoPop lenses eliminate "color confusion" which basically allows your brain to see colors as more vibrant and distinct. This increase in distinct colors and contrast will make skiing with your goggles on much easier. You (or the person you're gifting them to) will want to wear them, even when it's not necessary, and not just for goggle tan GNAR points.
smithoptics.com | ChromoPop Goggles $210
Forsake Clyde Boots
Founded by a couple of college buddies, Forsake makes several different models of footwear designed for function and style. With a fully waterproof upper, plenty of traction and a look that works on the trail, in the parking lot and the après ski bar – these boots are an all around winner for rocking the hill and the town.
forsake.com | Clyde Boots $129.95
Flylow Stash Pant
Flylow makes some of the best freeride ski apparel out there, but for my money, the Stash Pant is the sweet spot. They're fairly lightweight, waterproof and incorporate outer thigh vents making them acceptable for touring and bootpacking. And at $215 they're a steal from a quality outfitter like Flylow.
flylowgear.com | Stash Pant $215
Buff Original – Android Jones
Buff's are a must. Whether you're hitting the skin track for dawn patrol, zooming the groomers, or slaying the glades – these things are part of the perfect kit. I keep one around my neck just in case it gets chilly, I take off my helmet and need something to cover my helmet hair, or if I'm touring and my ears get cold. They come in lots of designs, but the new Android Jones collection is legitimately brilliant.
buffusa.com | Android Jones $19.95
SAXX Blacksheep Long John Fly
I live in SAXX underwear these days and when I saw their new merino long johns, I knew I needed them for long days on the mountain. With their unique "pouch" architecture they keep you in the right place, comfortable, and skiing your best. Also check out their Kinetic Tight for another, non-wool, option.
Saxxunderwear.com | Blacksheep Long John $84.95
Dakine, Polygiene Treated, Union Base Layer Crew
This mid-weight baselayer is super comfortable and wicks moisture from your skin as you churn out lap after lap on the hill. I especially appreciate the thumb loops – I've just gotten so used to having those added details to keep my base layer from bunching up that I don't like wearing base or mid-layers without them anymore. The reason this guy made my list though, is mainly because I can wear it all week without washing due to its Polygiene odor control treatment. Ladies, get this for your guy, he'll love it, almost as much as you'll love his reduction in ski bum stink.
dakine.com | Union Base Layer Crew $55
Dynafit Vulcan Hooded Down Jacket
This thing is a beast! Wear it as a warm mid layer on cold days or rock it as an outer layer thanks to its hydrophobic & antibacterial DownTek paired with water resistant Pertex Quantum fabric. Weighing in at only 14.4 oz – Dynafit doesn't make many heavy items – and stuffed with 750-fill power down, it'll likely be the greatest and most versatile mid-weight puffy your friend, husband, son (or maybe you?) will ever be given.
dynafit.com | Vulcan Hooded Down Jacket $279.95
Mountain Collective Pass
Got a bunch of airline miles lying around? This is the gift that keeps on giving all season long. With the recent addition of Revelstoke & Telluride, this mega-pass just keeps getting better and better. Giving the holder two days of skiing at all 14 resorts as well as 50% off additional days, will have whomever you buy this for following the weather reports at each resort more closely than I tailgate the 20mph driving tourists on the way to Taos. Priced at $419, that works out to 15 bucks a day if they use all 28 included ski days – road trip!
mountaincollective.com | Ski Pass $419
Adventure Medical Kits .5 First Aid Kit
Especially important for the backcountry adventurer, Adventure Medical Kits makes it easy to be prepared for mishaps, blisters, and many other routine predicaments. Containing bandages, tape, antibiotic ointment, pain relievers, and blister treatments these small, lightweight packages are a must on touring adventures or even at the resort. Also check out their specialized GlacierGel blister dressings – they could save the day on the mountain.
adventuremedicalkits.com | .5 First Aid Kit $16.95

Smicer makes Slavia return
By Vasek Kadlec
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Vladimir Smicer has left Bordeaux and returned to Slavia Prague.Vladimir Smicer has returned to Slavia Prague following the expiration of his contract at Bordeaux.
The former Liverpool midfielder has signed a one-year contract with the possibility of a 12-month extension.
There is also a clause which allows the 34-year-old to join Slavia's management team at the end of his playing career.
"When we saw the opportunity of bringing him into the team, we did not hesitate a minute," said Slavia manager Karel Jarolim.
Smicer, who scored for Liverpool in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final, is thrilled to be back with the club where he began his career 15 years ago.
"When I started training at Slavia, I started recalling the beautiful nine years I spent here," the Czech Republic international told idnes.cz
"It made my decision much easier.
"I am very glad that Slavia gave me the offer and I will be doing my best to repay their confidence in me."

Superior Court Senior Judge T. Penn McWhorter postponed the trial of an Auburn woman accused of providing alcoholic beverages for a 2007 after-prom party where 18-year-old Winder-Barrow High School student Leland Martin died after drinking heavily.
Barbara Ann Michael, 40, faces five counts of contributing to a delinquency of a minor. Her trial was scheduled to start Monday, but McWhorter postponed it because Michael's lawyer asked to be taken off the case.
Prosecutors took almost a year before charging Michael with the contributing charges, all of which are misdemeanors.

The DoubleByte TrueType Font Interface allows Smart Characters for Windows to use and export to any other Windows application any Japanese, traditional, or simplified Chinese TrueType font under any version of Windows. Use to display and print in a variety of typefaces and styles, for very high resolution printing or typesetting, to print Chinese under Japanese Windows, or vice versa. Avoids the expense, hassles, and penalties of actually running Japanese or Chinese Windows. Works with Windows or Macintosh fonts. Asian TrueType fonts (not included) are available separately from font dealers and makers.
Dynalab (English) Traditional, Simplified, and Japanese TrueType fonts.
Ricoh (Japanese) Japanese fonts. You can download samples (which contain just a few hundred characters), install them into the DoubleByte TrueType font interface (see directions), and view the example file here, or your own files (which will display mostly missing characters).
Microsoft supplies TrueType fonts in their far east versions of Windows. Japanese Windows contains two fonts, Mincho and Gothic, Traditional Windows contains a Ming Light font, and Simplified Windows contains a Ming and a Hei font. You can install these fonts into the interface for use with or without running the far east Windows version. You may have these Windows versions without knowing it, Level 2 membership of the Microsoft Developers Network includes all versions of all international operating systems.
Microsoft now supplies TrueType fonts to support their Internet Explorer version 3.0 web browser.

You can also obtain the language support packages via their web site, under the topic of Downloading Internet Explorer.
Monotype makes Chinese and Japanese TrueType fonts. You can buy fonts from them directly, or from a dealer (here's one).
Far east TrueType fonts typically install into their corresponding native Windows versions. Contact Apropos Customer Service for installation instructions to install into other Windows versions. Alternatively, we can purchase these fonts for you and supply them with an installation program into any version of Windows.
The DoubleByte TrueType font interface works with any far east TrueType font designed for Macintosh or Windows. It may not work with other scalable fonts that claim to be "TrueType quality", but are not actually far east TrueType fonts. If you are using TrueType fonts that are not up to spec, Customer Service may be able to help you install and use these fonts anyway. Contact Customer Service for details.
A few sites contain TrueType fonts that you can download and try. The quality of these fonts is typically not nearly as good as commercial fonts, especially at low resolutions and low point sizes, but you may enjoy playing with them anyhow.

The aircraft had insufficient usable fuel for the intended flight. When a nose down attitude for descent was selected on final approach, the engine was starved of fuel and stopped. The pilot realised that the aircraft could not reach the aerodrome and elected to carry out a forced landing in the nearest suitable field. After manoeuvring to avoid some houses he was left with insufficient airspeed to arrest the rate of descent. During the subsequent hard landing the pilot and his passenger suffered serious back injuries. The aircraft sustained significant damage but there was no fire. Two Safety Recommendations are made.
