The students were so excited to begin our unit on mammals. We will study them for the next few weeks and then compare and contrast them with other animals throughout the rest of the year.
In reading, we read fiction and non-fiction books about mammals with a special focus on bats. Students learned to create a web about everything they learned about bats and a can/have/are chart. Both were very impressive. Students also enjoyed reading a fun story called "Plaidypus" that included rhyming, opposites, sequencing, and most importantly, a platypus.
In math, students learned about setting up and solving addition sentences. They are doing a terrific job! The test next week should be no problem! Our next unit will be subtraction. Students also practiced counting by 5's and 10's, making patterns, making designs with shapes and naming shapes, counting coins, and telling time.
All students are making incredible progress with decoding and many are even ready to start reading long vowels. I keep telling them they are already ready for first grade. Their reading and writing are extremely impressive for kindergarteners this time of the year!
I look forward to talking with all of you on Tuesday at Parent-teacher conferences!

text: Issue #12004 has been updated by Vjatseslav Gedrovits. > Please don't use kiss you or hug you or such kind of expression in an international community like here. > These words are ok (e.g. In my understanding, Russian people kiss each other for greeting like handshake) in some country and not ok in other > (In US, there is wide consensus it's not ok). > I don't ask your gender nor nationality. Instead, I'll ask you just don't do that. I don't recommend any of sexual word even if it is widely used as an idiom. > > I understand you have no evil intention and I don't think this message should be deleted, but please choose your word carefully a bit more. > > Thanks. > > Disclaimer: this is not a warning from an admin. this is just my opinion. This is one of the reasons. Different cultures, laws and definition of normal. In proposed document there are specific privileged groups, who will benefit from that. In our lore this just means: 'I agree with you. You like took words from my mouth.' It's nothing to do with physical kisses of person. So if this will be done, someone (contributors, maintainers) will need to decide who is right (and in this document we know who are). This leads to censorship and bureucracy. To what can this lead? To the same thing, which happens in *some* (no direct names here, guess country by dialog below) countries. Current proposal looks like this: *sarcasm start ->* > 1) Hey! You need democracy (insert what 1 needs, CoC in this case) guys! It's fun, we can do that for you. > 2) No, we don't. Please go away and try build democracy (insert what 1 need, CoC in this case) in other places. > 1) Nah, you just (insert X) and (insert Y). You can't have own opinion. We will deliver democracy to you, and set people who understand it's meaning in charge. > 2) WTF? > ... After razing other country to ashes and thousands of people lives ... > 1) Hey! You see how good this country become with democracy? Our people rule gentle and good, you must be grateful! *<- sarcasm end* You can also look at this from a different view. This CoC group is like union (miners union, teachers union, etc). What union does? It forces and pushes things what benefit the union members. You can see this from the proposed document itself. People before pointed out this before, so no need to go on this. Look even on first message: > RubyTogether also adopted a policy to only fund Ruby projects that had a solid code of conduct in place. This mean, regardless of you paying to org, if your thoughts and opinions not agree with CoC they will not fund you. Isn't this a form of censorship? Isn't it too obvious? > Our community prides itself on niceness. What a code of conduct does is define what we mean by nice. It states clearly that we value openness, courtesy, and compassion. That we care about and want contributions from people who may be different from us. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MINASWAN It even states that we are nice. > That we pledge to respect all contributors regardless of their *race*, *gender*, *sexual orientation*, or other factors. And it makes it clear that we are prepared to follow through on these values with action when and if an incident arises. Why listing properties of contributors? This is again forced by union. Knowing those groups, this means that race must be non-white, gender non-male and sexual orientation non-hetero. So voila, they will have 'law' which must be 'forced' to oppose the people they don't like. The union, remember? > As contributors and maintainers of this project, and in the interest of fostering an open and welcoming community, we pledge to respect all people who contribute through reporting issues, posting feature requests, updating documentation, submitting pull requests or patches, and other activities. This looks not bad. But next paragraph tries to describe properties of people, which ruins a whole point of 'all people who contribute' this already includes all listed 'features'. The word harassment is used again. Stop using this already, it's not even close to real world examples of harassment: SWATing, stalking, etc. The maximum what you can get on Internet is someone, who swears or writes something you don't like. This is not harassment. Harassment term overused by specific groups nowadays. > We are committed to making participation in this project a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of level of experience, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, or nationality. So we get list of unions protected, but we are not stopping, we continue to tighten the unions: > The use of sexualized language or imagery This is abstract, look the case of scientist shirt. It was totally OK in most countries, but not in one. Man have 4 kids, good family and he lost his job and reputation because of cowards in management, who just scared of 'rage' of groups felt 'harrased'. > Personal attacks Read the swearing part. This can be interpreted quite wildly. It's hard to separate this from feelings. > Trolling or insulting/derogatory comments Trolling is not good, but this is not thing to decline. Sometimes it's even fun to read. Insults varies on different people cultures. So again, without making someone sad, this should not be forced to match needs of few groups. > Public or private harassment Cases of real harassment should be handled by the laws of the country of victim. This is not for tech community to decide. Someone really harrases you? You can use your country laws on other citizens of your country. > Publishing other's private information, such as physical or electronic addresses, without explicit permission What is considered private in our days? If it can be found in Internet, this means you left this info to public and this is not private. Otherwise it must be governed by your country law on citizens of YOUR country, where law can be used. > Other unethical or unprofessional conduct This is good enough point, which is already covered in MINASWAN. > Project maintainers have the right and *responsibility* to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor *for other behaviors that **they** deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful*. Moderators have right currently to do so without CoC too. What will be added here, just additional work on trying to understand what is wrong, offensive or whatever. Time will be lost, which can be used on a OSS project. Look at the 'they' part, unions, remember? > By adopting this Code of Conduct, project maintainers commit themselves to fairly and consistently applying these principles to every aspect of managing this project. Project maintainers *who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct* may be permanently removed from the project team. In theory, by this rule Matz itself can be removed from the project, if will not follow / enforce this document. Yes, there is 'may' word, but who really cares about that? This can be forced in every case or by occasion, depends on union needs, remember? > This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in *public spaces* when an individual is representing the project or its community. This has 'representing' part, but really, how you separate this? Matz known in Ruby world, who must decide when he is presenting or not? Union decides, right? When you say something they don't like, they just go witch hunt on you. People who accepted this CoC gifting their rights to express themselves as they want outside the projects, to 3rd party which will decide good / wrong. That they can't express something not 'popular' in places outside the project, without having risk to be removed from project, because unions can consider this as an insult to them. This lead to a situation, where posters here adding the 'I don't represent the community, this is my opinion', bla bla bla thing, to be protected from that. Anything that you say is de facto IMHO, you don't need to apologize for that or choose wording trying to make happy every possible union groups. > Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting a project maintainer at [INSERT EMAIL ADDRESS]. *All complaints will be reviewed and investigated* and *will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances*. All will be reviewed, investigated and result in 'necessary' action. Anyone wants to play Zeus here? Throw some lighting at people if you seem necessary. > Maintainers are obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. And this last part protects union members from being public. This is called 'whistleblowing'. There was time in Soviet history, when government thought this is good idea, to catch the spies, neighboor watch and all this. This resulted in a lot of people sending 'reports' on each other. With a quite human reasons. I don't like him. I want his apartment. I want his work place. He is X (insert other personal reason). Private 'whistleblowing' leads to abuse of the systems and those 'whistleblowers' can feel themselves safe. The CoC can't protect them from it, does it? They don't want that people know who made this person disappear from the community and why. Because they are... scared? George Orwell wrote good book, Animal Farm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm) So I want to finish this with quote from it: > ﹍All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.﹎ > ■ George Orwell, Animal Farm If Matz will decide to have some specific rules, they should definitely not be based and/or linked to proposed CoC. ---------------------------------------- Misc #12004: Code of Conduct https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12004#change-56699 * Author: Coraline Ada Ehmke * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Yukihiro Matsumoto ---------------------------------------- I am the creator of the Contributor Covenant, a code of conduct for Open Source projects. At last count there are over 13,000 projects on Github that have adopted it. This past year saw adoption of Contributor Covenant by a lot of very large, very visible projects, including Rails, Github's Atom text editor, Angular JS, bundler, curl, diaspora, discourse, Eclipse, rspec, shoes, and rvm. The bundler team made code of conduct integration an option in the gem creation workflow, putting it on par with license selection. Many open source language communities have already adopted the code of conduct, including Elixir, Mono, the .NET foundation, F#, and Apple's Swift. RubyTogether also adopted a policy to only fund Ruby projects that had a solid code of conduct in place. Right now in the PHP community there is a healthy debate about adopting the Contributor Covenant. Since it came from and has been so widely adopted by the Ruby community at large, I think it's time that we consider adopting it for the core Ruby language as well. Our community prides itself on niceness. What a code of conduct does is define what we mean by nice. It states clearly that we value openness, courtesy, and compassion. That we care about and want contributions from people who may be different from us. That we pledge to respect all contributors regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, or other factors. And it makes it clear that we are prepared to follow through on these values with action when and if an incident arises. I'm asking that we join with the larger Ruby community in supporting the adoption of the Contributor Covenant for the Ruby language. I think that this will be an important step forward and will ensure the continued welcoming and supportive environment around Ruby. You can read the full text of the Contributor Covenant at http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/3/0/ and learn more at http://contributor-covenant.org/. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to hearing your thoughts. ---Files-------------------------------- Screen Shot 2016-01-22 at 6.45.23 PM.png (595 KB) Ruby_Code_of_Conduct_Numbers.png (119 KB) Ruby_Code_of_Conduct_Discussion.png (143 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request / ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>

text: Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB) has embarked on a refurb of the four Golden Lounge facilities at its KLIA hub. Central to the Golden Lounge refurbishment program are new demonstration kitchens where chefs will create Malaysian and international gourmet dishes while interacting with travellers and customising meals to their personal tastes.There will also be a bistro service in the business lounges, and a revamped fine dining experience in the first class lounge, with all locations also receiving faster wireless internet and additional universal power sockets, allowing visitors to easily recharge their devices without an adaptor.Adopting a design created by internationally-renowned firm Duoz – the same company behind the RitzCarlton Kuala Lumpur and the Marriott Sydney Harbour at Circular Quay – guests will notice patches of greenery for a touch of colour throughout, and to minimise disruption to travellers, only two lounges will be refurbished at one time.The Regional Golden Lounge in the Main Terminal Building was closed last Friday and will reopen on 15 August 2017. This facility is used by passengers on regional international services to destinations such as Singapore, ASEAN and the SASC (South Asian Sub-Continent). Passengers travelling in business class or who hold oneworld Sapphire/Emerald frequent flyer status (including MH and QF Gold and Platinum members) will be directed to the 24-hour International First or Business Class Golden Lounges in the Satellite Terminal Building (STB). Under oneworld Alliance lounge access rules Sapphire/Emerald frequent flyers are also able to use the Cathay Pacific First and Business Class Lounge which is also located within the STB. The Domestic Golden Lounge will close between 2 June and 15 August. As passengers cannot access the airport's international departures area where the International First and Business Class Golden Lounges are located, a temporary lounge space will be created at gate B3. Here lounge-eligible passengers will find light refreshments available along with dedicated seating, wireless Internet, newspapers, magazines and flight information screens. Toilets, showers and prayer rooms won't be offered within this temporary space, although the nearest restrooms can be found just outside the gate area, with the closest prayer room aside the Malaysia Airlines Gate A transfer desk. airportKuala LumpurloungesMalaysia Airlines

I have been hoping to get to the bottom of the pernicious "dogfennel" rumor, but so far I haven't gotten a bite, nibble, or even a whimper from my readers (whomever they are). I am prepared to put the "dogfennel" notion to sleep, but I will give the neighborhood one more chance to sniff out some evidence. To reiterate:
I am placing a $20 bounty on the first person to fetch evidence of any of the three kinds of dogfennel.
Any person who tries to pass off regular fennel as dogfennel owes me $20.
If you have a plant that looks like dogfennel but is not dogfennel or regular fennel, it is a push and we will have to buy each other beers or something.
The deadline is August 13th!
Happy hunting!

Is John Piper Confessional?
John Piper recently answered a question about the use of confessions by a church. I'm thankful for several parts of his answer, and I have some comments to offer on the other parts.
First, Piper affirms and defends the validity, necessity, and value of confessions of faith:
"Christianity that is unified around a written confession of faith, at its best, is the best Christianity… Confessional summaries of biblical truth really do help us in our faith, because I think faith thrives on deep, true doctrine that is brought out of the Scriptures, properly summarized, applied to peoples' lives, and in our souls, in our families, in our churches, even in society. That kind of clear, doctrinal truth is healthy for life and for obedience to Jesus."
In light of this, Bethlehem Baptist Church created The Bethlehem Baptist Church Elder Affirmation of Faith (I believe in 2003) and they modified their by-laws to state "Elders are also required to be in agreement with the Bethlehem Baptist Church Elder Affirmation of Faith" The confession states
"We believe that the cause of unity in the church is best served, not by finding the lowest common denominator of doctrine, around which all can gather, but by elevating the value of truth, stating the doctrinal parameters of church or school or mission or ministry, seeking the unity that comes from the truth, and then demonstrating to the world how Christians can love each other across boundaries rather than by removing boundaries. (15:2)"
Again, Amen! (Note that their Congregational Affirmation of Faith for members is different from the Elder Affirmation of Faith).
The rest of Piper's answer focuses on why they…..

This Boston girl has been influenced by many amazing and challenging experiences that has helped to shape Ms. Pino into broader perspectives. At an early age, she traveled the world, from Europe through out the Middle East and was exposed to a wide range of cross-cultural experiences. Opera, theatre, art, museums and music had become an integral part of her upbringing, due to her world travels. The music tree runs deep in her bloodline with many talented members of her family, from a mother who sings Opera, to her late grandfather, who played a mean violin with Arthur Fiedler of the Boston Pops.
A graduate of Emerson College, she studied Musical Theatre and moved to New York City to pursue the stage. After years of personal challenges, she realized NYC was not where she wanted to be. Ms. Pino moved to Los Angeles in 1999 for a change of pace and started to follow her love of songwriting. Her influences include: Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Rosanne Cash, Patti Griffin, Jonatha Brooke and Bernadette Peters from her musical theatre days. You can find her performing around Los Angeles at Kulak's Woodshed and Genghis Cohen, pursuing the art of communication and finding joy in spreading the gift of music!
Always Just Beyond
Similar vain to Patti Griffin, Jonatha Brooke, Emmylou Harris
Ms. Pino,
I'm only just now seeing your lovely note. I see your fabulous song "Always Just Beyond" all over IAC.. you deserve that! Isn't it a great site!? Looking forward to our day together. xoxoxo
welcome----I enjoyed your song-----a lot!
Hi Deanna,
I am a restless soul...always trying to figure out something to do that would be relaxing and enjoyable...I think being somewhere and listening to you perform for a few hours would be an answer!
Please add more tunes...

Previously Unheard Miles Davis LP To Be Released
Christian Eede
, June 13th, 2019 16:34
The album has been completed by the original producers and Davis' nephew Vince Wilburn Jr
A previously unheard Miles Davis album dating back to 1985 is finally set for release this September.
Davis began work on Rubberband in October of 1985, the year he parted ways with his record label of 30 years, Columbia Records, to join Warner Bros. Records. He set out working on the album in Los Angeles with producers Randy Hall and Zane Giles, who've been enlisted to finish the record now for its release, alongside Davis' nephew Vince Wilburn Jr., who played the drums on the original sessions for the album in 1985 and 1986.
The album saw Davis letting in funk and soul influences, but it was ultimately shelved with Davis going on to record the album Tutu, leaving the tracks unheard.
The release of Rubberband comes with liner notes from George Cole, writer of The Last Miles, and features an original painting by Miles Davis as the cover art. It will be released on vinyl, CD and digitally on September 6 via Rhino/Warner Records.

The Week in Social: Video Special
Let's get visual this time with a selection of clips that should twerk your Fusiform Facial area. Online video has been feted for years and its latest incarnation is as 'content marketing' i.e. the radical notion that by making something useful, people will want to visit your website (!). Here are a few examples of online video at work for both small and large budgets. And after all that, a cautionary tale of sorts.
We like video.
Susan Weinschenk, Ph.D. says there are four reasons we love video. As Forbes report:
- The Fusiform Facial area makes us pay attention to faces – this is an actual brain function that hard-wires us to use the human face as a gathering point for information and believability.
- Voice conveys rich information – yes, the simple sound of a human voice speaking to us has an amazing way of converting information into meaningful content.
- Emotions are contagious – here's a subtle but powerful aspect that we may take for granted. The body language of emotions is an appealing and we naturally love to share.
- Movement grabs attention – another trait that runs deep in our collective anthropological DNA is the power of peripheral motion. Since the stone age, we've survived by noticing things in motion – looks like we still do!
So, with all that, and the boggling realisation that YouTube is the number two search engine in the world, here's a selection of videos that do different things very well. Some are creative and some are businesses promoting themselves (although that can be creative too of course…).
All of them work.
Content, content, content (and hair). I'm not entirely sure what Marie Forleo does to make a living, but she has established herself as an online guru for people developing a business. The production values are dialled up (and I suspect, because it is so flawless, her hair is a Pixar creation) but the advice is solid. So regardless of budget, make sure you have something to say.
Should You Open The Kimono: 3 Ways To Deal With Industry Competition via MarieForleo.com
We like animations and humour too. This short clip from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation cleverly addresses a dirty topic: how best to think differently about sanitation in the developing world. As the top comment says, 'let's get our shit together and do it…'.
Can you keep it real? There are hundreds of accountancy firms that will do those unglamourous spreadsheets for you. How do you choose one? This firm uses short, authentic and effective testimonials as a kind of digital word of mouth. Simple.
via RBS Chartered Accountants, London.
Establish authority. Another way to go (as long you actually have the insights!) is to establish yourself as an authority in your sector. I contribute content for yourBusinessChannel whose service involves creating online channels that feature short clips of expertise from movers and shakers in a particular industry. A company or individual partners with yBC to place themselves at the core of a whole host of industry insight. Clever.
Here's their Hospitality Channel.

The Week in Social: Braff and Kickstarter, the crap deluge and a year offline.
Thinking of escaping the impending crowdsourced embarrassing crap deluge? There's no point.
Content is king supposedly. For years now, we've been making videos, music, blogs, whatever and getting these things out there. We may be doing this for fun, self-promotion or a genuine desire to inform, but our friends in the Marketing Dept want in. They have been getting all excited about 'content marketing' this last while (probably prompted by the changes in how Google ranks content online – basically, the good stuff will rise to the top). However, one agency reckons as the Marketing Dept scrabble to make great content, we're about to be hit by a deluge… of crap.
A Year Offline. With this impending crap deluge, now might be a good time to take a year offline *gasp*. Paul Miller left the internet for a year: "I thought it was making me unproductive. I thought it lacked meaning. I thought it was 'corrupting my soul'." However, his 12 months did not result in any spiritual epiphanies and, perhaps not entirely unexpectedly, he concludes that "the internet isn't an individual pursuit, it's something we do with each other. The internet is where people are."
Your internet past is 'not embarrassing'. And if the internet is where people are and these people are creating content, then chances are some of that stuff will be ill-judged, embarrassing or even potentially damaging. I've sometimes thought about all of the comments, tweets, status updates, blog posts and so on that I've generated over the years and cringed a little. Kyle Wagner reckons we should just 'get over it' and "all that earnesty really betrays is that you're a human being with human feelings". Let's see how that flies with the recruiters skulking around LinkedIn…
Stop giving your money to rich people on Kickstarter. Zack Braff has managed to raise over $2M to finance a film via crowd-sourcing service Kickstarter. Traditionally a community where artists/creatives/developers could tap their friends and interested parties for cash upfront to finance small projects, the tool is being used by established types. Time Warner managed to raise over $5M to greenlight a Veronica Mars film. Alan Jones writes regretfully that fans are saying "it's OK for rich people to eliminate the factor of risk". Meanwhile Cameron Brady-Turner reckons we should stop beating on Braff and even thank him for drawing attention to crowdsourced funding.
See you in seven.

- The government had however High Court Justice Luka Kimaru's ruling on the deportation being illegal and said it was not in the best interest of the country
Self-proclaimed NASA secretary general Miguna Miguna has declared he was ready to jet back to the country one condition.
Speaking shortly after a court ruling which outlawed his deportation, Miguna Miguna , in a phone interview with KTN said he would return if the government complied to the court order.

The former gubernatorial candidate was however critical of the possibility that the government could dispute the court order and subsequently frustrate his efforts to retain his Kenyan citizenship.
"I have to come back within the purview of the court order. Right now I am waiting for the compliance of the despots of the court order," He said in the interview.
Miguna's anticipated return may however take a little longer than anticipated as the State had moved swiftly to justify his deportation, despite the High court ruling.
In a statement seen by TUKO.co.ke on Thursday, February 15, the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government said they respected the court ruling but maintained that Miguna's deportation was procedural and done in accordance with the law.

But Miguna, in his interview from Toronto Canada on Thursday, said he would be taking legal action against the Interior CS among other government officers for what he termed as "mistreatment".

We've all experienced those unfortunate mishaps in public: tripping, falling to the ground, or making an unfortunate oversight that draws all eyes to us. For one embarrassed honor guard member, it was forgetting to tie his shoe before a prestigious event.
At the start of a Fourth of July parade in Texas this year, Officer Jerrick Wilson held up the U.S. flag proudly as the Arlington Police Department's Honor Guard lined up. That's when he realized the laces on one of his shoes was untied.
But lucky for him, Josh Brown was waiting nearby with his family, ready to jump in and offer a hand. While the little boy says he felt pretty nervous when another officer approached him and asked for his help, he did a great job of fixing Wilson's shoes.
The sweet gesture didn't go unnoticed — by the grateful Wilson, other parade-goers who cheered, or the thousands who saw it on social media. Local Wendy Collins Smith snapped a photo of the touching moment and shared it on Facebook, writing, "We need more of his type in the world!" Others couldn't agreed more.
Of course, Josh's grandfather, Pastor Dennis Wiles couldn't pass up the chance to commend his grandson for helping police and honoring his country.
And the next day, Wilson got the chance to thank Josh in person. "I had a long way in the parade to go and it definitely saved me from dealing with a headache of worrying about my shoe coming off while carrying a U.S. flag," the officer explained.
Police Chief Will Johnson expressed his gratitude as well on Twitter, adding he had a special gift to present to the little boy — his Chief's Coin.
As Wilson put it, it was a small gesture, but it meant so much to so many people. Josh wants to be an officer as well when he grows up. With an entire police department in his corner, we're sure he'll be wearing a badge in the future.
Learn more about what happened that day below, and share to help give Josh the recognition he deserves!

Column: Lanthorn writer's guide to the 2018 National Championship game
April 2, 2018
Sadly, the greatest month in all of sports has come to a close.
This March has been one of the maddest in recent memory, featuring many buzzer beaters; the one overall seed getting blown out by 16-seed UMBC; and 11-seed Loyola-Chicago making a shocking run to the Final Four with phenomenal ball movement, excellent shooting and possibly a little divine help from above.
Fans should be very excited for this title game, as we'll get to witness one of the best offenses in college basketball history take on one of the better defensive teams in recent memory. This game will feature so many talented players, more than a few future NBA players and two future hall-of-fame coaches in Jay Wright and John Beilein.
Let's take a minute to preview what each team does well, look into a few key head-to-head matchups and predict the score for this epic battle.
Why Villanova can win the National Championship
I'm not exaggerating when I say this may be one of the best offenses college basketball has ever seen. They truly are a juggernaut on the offensive end because all five guys on the floor are shooting threats from everywhere on the floor.
Look no further than the game on Saturday, March 31, to see how good this Villanova offense can truly be. They put up 95 points against fellow 1-seed Kansas, setting a Final Four record by making 18 of their 40 threes, including 13 in the first 17 minutes of action.
How can you not be afraid of a team that heats up like that so fast and so quickly? Every player in the Wildcat rotation makes 36 percent or more of their deep balls, including three players who shoot over 40 percent from beyond the arc. If they make three or four 3-pointers before the second TV timeout on Monday, April 2, it could be a long night for the Wolverines.
They have been able to play at an impeccable pace all season long, as the Wildcats rank 14th in 3-point shooting percentage, second in effective field-goal percentage, third in 2-point shooting percentage and ninth in free-throw shooting percentage. Needless to say, it will be a shock if the Wildcats struggle on offense Monday Night.
In a March full of upsets and shocking finishes, Villanova has been efficient and arguably the most dominant team all season long. They have made high-quality college basketball teams look like JV high school teams, as they've won every tournament by 12 points or more. Who's to say they can't keep things rolling against an inconsistent Michigan team?
Why Michigan can win the National Championship
What separates the NCAA tournament from any other postseason in sports is that the best teams don't always win. Sometimes the winners of the tournament are simply the hottest teams, and look no further than Ann Arbor, Michigan, to find this year's squad with the most momentum.
This Michigan team is different than any other in recent memory in that this team really knows how to lock down on defense.
As Michigan is currently ranked as the fourth-best defense in college basketball, John Beilein has this team in the perfect mindset to succeed. A great case can be made for Zavier Simpson as the best on-ball defender in this tournament, as the team feeds off his energy and swallows teams whole once they get in the paint.
That dominant defense is the main reason for Michigan's comeback against Loyola-Chicago on Saturday, March 31. The Wolverines contested 24 of the Ramblers' 27 second-half shots and didn't allow Loyola-Chicago an open shot until there were fewer than five minutes left in the contest.
The success on the defensive end allows Michigan a chance to heat up on the offensive end. This squad can heat up in a hurry, as Seniors Muhammad-Ali Abdur Rahkman and Duncan Robinson can both lead the offense and light it up from deep, allowing Michigan a chance to succeed if a shootout inevitably breaks out on Monday.
Even though the Wolverines have had a historically easy path to this National Championship game, they are heating up at the right time and have yet to play their best brand of basketball in this tournament. If this defense shows up again and Michigan reaches their full potential on offense, they will be a force to be reckoned with against a Villanova that relies a little too heavily on the three ball.
Key matchups to watch: Omari Spellman vs. Mo Wagner, Mikal Bridges vs. Charles Matthews
As good as both these two teams are, this game could simply come down to how these four players play.
Both Villanova and Michigan feature versatile big men who play key roles in their respective offenses. Freshmen Omari Spellman has proved he can battle with anyone, as his inside-out game provides a unique wrinkle in this dominant offensive scheme.
Wagner isn't afraid to step back and hit the three, either. The human embodiment of a spark plug has been the leading scorer for the Wolverines all season long, and his dominant 24-point double-double in the semifinal puts him in an elite company of players when it comes to dominance in the Final
Four (Hakeem Olajuwon and Larry Bird are the only other players to put up a 20-point double-double in the Final Four). Look to see the future first-round pick put on another show Monday night.
The other matchup to watch in the game sits in the small forwards. Charles Matthews has been a consistent scorer for the Wolverines all tournament long. The Kentucky transfer was the Most Outstanding Player in the West Region and will be looking to get more buckets in the final.
But if there is any man who can stop him, it's Villanova's Mikal Bridges. The future lottery pick has incredible length and quick feet, allowing him to guard any position on the court. He has the ability to shut down Matthews in this game and thereby stall Michigan's offense completely.
As I've previously stated in this paper, I am a huge Michigan fan. I truly believe this is a team of destiny, and I've loved watching them all year wrong. But, if I'm being honest, this team is really inconsistent. They were down in the first half against 14-seeded Montana. It took an incredible buzzer beater to beat Houston. And until there were 15 minutes left in Saturday night's game, it looked like they were going to get blown out by Sister Jean's squad.
They rarely ever start out games well, and they haven't had a consistent offensive flow all tournament long. Look for AP player of the year and basketball quarterback Jalen Brunson to lead this offense to yet another great display of offensive firepower. Michigan will put up a good fight, but Villanova will likely cap off a historically dominant tournament run with another fantastic performance. As much as it pains me to say it, I'll predict Villanova to win 84-78 in yet another epic championship game.

Today I saw Rebecca Black's "Friday" and WOW! That's a vapid, stupid, childish song. Why hasn't anyone killed her for not writing a song about the horrors of Darfur? Seriously! I don't know if you know this, but pop music is SERIOUS! FUCKIN'! BUSINESS!
It must be, because everyone, but everyone is calling this the worst pop song EVAR! And why shouldn't they? Wait, what's that? It's written by a 13 year old girl? GOD FUCKING DAMNIT! KILL HER NOW! Everyone knows that thirteen year old girls are expected to talk about the most weighty and important of topics. No one would ever suspect that a thirteen year old might not have a grasp of more important subjects than this. I mean really, she's 13, where is her deep and personal story about being raped by the neighbor's dog on the night of her senior prom? Oh, right, SHE'S ONLY THIRTEEN! She hasn't been raped by the neighbor's dog and she isn't old enough to have had her senior prom.
Seriously, shut the ever loving fuck up. You sound like a bunch of old cunts stand on your porch, waving your colostomy bags, telling kids with their syncopated rhythms and lack of respect for their elders (no matter how fucking stupid they are) to get off your lawn. You don't just sound old, you sound old, stupid and out of touch. It's clearly singing for another generation that wants to hear that sort of thing. Everyone does autotune these days, guys. Didn't Britney get a Grammy for autotuning up the ass?
I'll admit, I don't love the song, but then I'm also no fan of The Bieber or much of anything else floating around the mainstream recently. The last new thing I liked was Everybody by Ingrid Michaelson. The point is that music like this is aimed at a specific category, sorry if that category isn't you. Get over it, The Kids (of which YOU are not longer a member) are into different things. People bitching about this sound like the assholes who complain about Twilight because "How dare some bitch steal vampires and werewolves from guys?"
Now, I'll grant I don't actually like the song. I think it's kind of crap. However, I'm old enough to be this girl's father, and as a result I don't need to like it. I've got Prince, Catie Curtis and Acoustic Alchemy (which is a combo that has caused people's head to pop) so I don't really need this sort of thing. I'll admit though this is a fairly inane song, with some amazingly stupid lyrics…
You know what else sounds stupid? You know what other song has lyrics that sound inane and moronic?
Yeah, I fuckin' said it. Stupid, inane, full of the sort of idiotic claptrap that I've always hated in pop music. And by the way, the tune SUCKS!
In fact, I tell you what. Go find the Billboard Charts for any of the last 50-60 years. NOW! Find me a year when something vapid and stupid WASN'T in the top ten. I tried, I couldn't find any. in 1993, Whoomp! (There It Is) by Tag Team was number two, Runaway Train by Soul Asylum was 22! The year before, Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit came in at #32 and End Of The Road by Boyz II Men was #1.
So if it won't hurt your geriatric knees too much, could you climb off your high fucking horse? If you don't like the song, fine, neither do I, but could we PLEASE stop pretending like this is the end of music as we know it? Music ended on February 3, 1959 when it died in a plane crash with The Big Bopper. OR! It didn't die at all and still goes on and who gives a fuck if this song or that song tickles your G spot? You like a song, listen to it, you don't? Well as George Carlin once mentioned a radio has two knobs on it, one turns it off and the other one changes the station.
I'm seriously fucking sick of listening to man-children complain because the world moved on and is pandering to people younger than them. It's not all about you, and there is going to be a lot of things that are popular that you won't like. You should have learned this back in Jr. High. I know I sure as fuck did. Grow the fuck up and get on with your fucking lives.

Cook's notes: Easy appetizers that will give you more time to spend with your guests.
Part One
Boursin Prosciutto Phyllo CupsIngredients:
Recipe makes 24 appetizers.
- 1 package premade frozen mini phyllo cups (I used Athens Mini Fillo Shells)
- 1 5.2 ounce package Garlic and Herb Boursin cheese
- 6 slices prosciutto, diced or deli ham
- ½ cup sliced green onion, plus more for garnish
- Take the mini phyllo cups out of the freezer and set aside
- In a medium frying pan, fry the prosciutto until crispy. You don't need oil, the fat from the prosciutto will work its magic on its own. Take off of the heat and drain
- In a medium bowl, mix together the crispy prosciutto or ham, green onion, and boursin
- Scoop a spoonful of the mixture into each phyllo cup and garnish with more green onion
- Refrigerate until serving.
Balsamic Bruschetta
Recipe from myrecipes.com
- 8 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/3 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 TB. balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 1/4 tsp.each kosher salt and ground black pepper
- Mix all ingredients together and place in refrig.
- Cut a loaf of French bread into 1/2-inch slices. Place bread slices onto a baking sheet.
- At this point you have two serving options. You can:
Toast the bread by itself in a 425-degree oven for 3-4 minutes and then add the chilled tomato mixture to the top.Cook's notes"
I tried both ways and I slightly favor the toasted bread with the chilled tomato mixture on top.
Top with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and serve! Delish!
Tortellini Bites
- 1 (9-oz.) package refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini
- 3 cups halved grape tomatoes
- 3 (8-oz.) containers fresh small mozzarella cheese balls
- 60 (6-inch) wooden skewers
- prepared Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
- Prepare tortellini according to package directions. Rinse under cold running water.
- Thread 1 tomato half, 1 cheese ball, another tomato half, and 1 tortellini onto each skewer. Place skewers in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Drizzle balsamic vinaigrette over skewers, turning to coat. Cover and chill 2 hours. Transfer skewers to a serving platter, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Discard any remaining vinaigrette.
Spicy Asian MeatballsMeatball Ingredients:
Recipe from gimmesomeoven.com
- 2 lbs. ground pork or ground beef
- 2 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 cup Panko or breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 2 eggs
- 3 tsp. minced garlic
- 1/2 cup thinly-sliced green onions
- optional garnish: toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions
- 2/3 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- Preheat oven to 400.
- In a large bowl, mix together meatball ingredients until well-combined. Shape into balls (I made mine about 1-1/2 inches, which yielded about 35 meatballs, but 1 inch is probably standard), and place on a greased baking sheet or in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until meatballs are golden on the outside and no longer pink on the inside.
- While the meatballs are baking, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients until blended. Once meatballs have finished cooking, you can either dip each meatball individually (using a toothpick) in the sauce mixture. Or you can pour the sauce over the meatballs and gently stir them until covered.
- Serve warm, and sprinkle with additional garnish if desired.
You can also keep these warm (after cooking) in the crock pot on a low setting.

HUNTS POINT, the Bronx — NYPD officers from the 41st Precinct in the South Bronx are aiming to raise $100,000 for the Ambrose family in the wake of the tragic deaths of their young daughters.
Scylee Vayoh Ambrose, 1, and Ibanez Ambrose, 2, suffered severe injuries during a radiator steam burst Wednesday at the family's apartment on Hunts Point Avenue. Both toddlers were pronounced dead at the hospital.
NYPD officers created a GoFundMe to help raise money to support the Ambrose family. At the time of publication, just over $3000 has been raised in the past two days, and the officers aim to raise $100,000 total.
The girls were severely injured by a burst of steam after a valve apparently came off of a radiator, causing an "extraordinary quantity" of steam to shoot out, Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a press conference.
"No one that I've talked to so far, in any agency, has ever seen anything like this," de Blasio said. "Something went wrong with that valve... Something unusual is going on here."
The Ambrose family was one of five families staying in a homeless cluster apartment at the Hunts Point building, one of hundreds of so called "cluster-sites" in the city.
Cluster-sites, or privately owned buildings used to house the homeless, have been found to be the "worst maintained," "most poorly maintained" and provide the "least adequate social services to families," according to a March 2015 report from the Department of Investigation.
De Blasio noted that the city is aggressively working to close cluster-sites. He said there was no indication that the deadly radiator incident is related to the unit being located inside a cluster-site building.
Officials still do not know how and why the valve came off the radiator. They noted the circumstances of the incident were unusual due to the radiator having a low-pressure system and the boiler being located in another building.
De Blasio said New Yorkers should not be fearful for their own safety because there seems to be no history of something like this specific incident occurring.

So in the core book each skill has a number of applications listed. Furthermore the Applications paragraph states:
Every skill has applications, which are sub-areas of the skill.
If a skill check involves a certain application, it appears
in parentheses, as in Perception (Spot). This is important
when determining whether a hero can use a certain
advantage or special ability. A check for Perception (Spot)
means that the skill involves the specific application Spot
Does this mean anyone who has a Skill, like say Religions, will automatically be able to make a roll for any of its applications without incurring a -3 penalty aside from those that require a certain advantage, special ability or trade secret?
Example 1: Born has a SR of 5 in Religions. He finds a small idol in a temple of praios. To know more about it he makes a skill roll Religions (praios). He will NOT take a -3 penalty to his roll because he has points in the skill and so automatically knows the applications.
Example 2: What about untrained use of skills? Say Born doesn't know the Religions skill. Would he still make the Religions(priaos) roll using only his attributes but without any penalty, or would he take the -3 penalty for not having even a single SR in the skill?

Yay! After missing last month (pesky family birthdays), I was back at First Monday (technically Second Monday) for another great event. The crime authors were debut novelists – Michelle Adams and Mark Hill, along with two very experienced authors – Jane Casey and Chris Brookmyre. Heading up proceedings was Joe Haddow from Radio 2.
So first up – those all important books!
My Sister is the debut novel from Michelle Adams. Michelle is a part-time scientist, currently living in Cyprus. The book is about two sisters who have a very toxic relationship. One of them attempts to find out the truth while the other tries to hide it.
Want You Gone is the third book in the Jack Parlabane series by Chris Brookmyre. Essentially, the book is about hacking and online blackmail. Chris was keen to point out that some of the word games played on social media aren't always wise – name of your first pet teamed with your mother's maiden name to make your porn star name – gives away two pieces of important security information. So don't do it!
Jane Casey's Let The Dead Speak is the seventh book in the Maeve Kerrigan series. A teenage girl comes home to find the family house covered in blood and her mother missing. As so many books and television series often focus on the body and what clues can be gleaned from it, Jane wanted to explore what would happen if you didn't have a body.
Mark Hill's debut is Two O'Clock Boy (you can read my review here) and is the first in the DI Ray Drake series. Written in two timelines, the story is told with multiple viewpoints. DI Ray Drake is investigating a series of murders but finds himself up to his ears in trouble.
One of Joe's questions was the importance of location and whether you needed to know a place well to be able to write about it.
For Chris Brookmyre, knowing a location is important but often first impressions are best. Although Chris' novels are often coined as Tartan Noir, he likes to set books where they need to be. Want You Gone is set in London. He once set a book in LA and his next one is set in space!
Place is important for Jane Casey too and the house in her story is almost like one of the characters. Being from Ireland means that she can write about London with a bit of distance. She thinks she's too sentimental about Dublin to write about it.
Mark Hill was actually on holiday in Manhattan when he started writing Two O'Clock Boy. It was snowing, he could see Central Park from the window and he was writing about Wood Green Bus Station.
What about writing routines? Strict or fluid?
As Michelle is working during the day, her writing hours tend to be 5-11pm. However, she's learnt to work wherever she is and finds herself often thinking about her story.
Chris' work hours tend to be office hours, although when his children were younger, it was nursery/school hours. He finds that manual tasks help to free up creativity as does walking. It's easier to dictate into a phone now without looking stupid, as long as no one hears you talking about how to dispose of a body.
Jane is of the belief that everyone in London has at least one murderous thought a day – on public transport or the monotony of pushing a swing for an hour in the park. So her thoughts are always focused, not least because her husband is a criminal barrister and a volunteer police officer. They've been known to clear restaurants with their dinner talk.
Mark tends to write in short bursts – intensive fifteen minutes or so. Some of his book *may* have been written when he was meant to be working on the Alan Carr radio show.
To finish off – a question from the audience. Current favourite reads.
Michelle – Little Sister by Isabel Ashdown
Chris – Mick Herron's Jackson Lamb books
Jane – He Said, She Said by Erin Kelly
Mark – Die Of Shame by Mark Billingham
There are so many other things I could tell you but you all have lives to lead. But I will leave you with some very wise words from Chris Brookmyre – Don't make yourself a target for hackers!

So, First Monday will be back on Monday 5th June, and just look at who's coming! James Oswald will also be there, along with Barry Forshaw to lead the evening.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: It will be 7- 8pm rather than the usual 6.30pm start. Tickets for £7 can be bought here from Goldsboro Books.

Have a great Friday – and of course, a badass workout. See you next week.
Recent #Every48 workouts: An unexpected rest day on Wednesday (I was a wuss…that is all). Made up for it Thursday with a great indoor BIKE ride – 55 minutes, of which 45 were at solid moderate-to-hard pace (90+ RPMs).

We can continue having safe road trips with our kiddos by getting an infant car seat or kids safety seat.India's road safety record is the worst in the world but still there are no rules by our government regarding child safety in the car.As parents its our priority to protect our child from any kind of injury or death.
A car seat is actually designed to save children from accidents be it a car crash or car breakdown. So its extremely important to buckle our little ones in the car seat rather than holding them in our lap.
In India, Parents still prefer to use seatbelts for kids.
Adult Seatbelts can protect adults from accident not children as its already been reported that using adult seat belts children suffered injuries to all parts of their bodies. The adult seat belt usually does not fit well until sometime between the ages of 8 and 12, depending on the size of your child.
So, It is very important to ensure that your child travels in an appropriate child car safety seats as per childs age and weight and the seats which are installed properly as per manufacturers manual.
There are three main types of car seats:Infant car seatsConvertible car seatsBooster seats
Infant Car Seat
Your baby should remain rear-facing until she is 2 years of age. You can put newborn babies in infant car seats as it has support cushions to help the baby fit properly.
The infant car seats can also be used as a carrier for small babies and can be rocked too.
Convertible Car Seats
When your kid will outgrow that infant car seat and has exceeded the weight or height of infant carseat he should be moved to convertible carseat.
Booster carseat
You can safely switch your child to a booster seat if she's at least 4 years old.The booster seat that comes with 5-point harness safety feature is the best option when it comes to your little ones life.
We should not skip that booster seat stage and move our kid to car seat belt directly, which 95 % of parents normally do.
Installation of car seats is again a very important step.
Read the instruction manual that came with the seat, as well as your car's user manual. It should be done with utmost care. Position of shoulder straps, tightness of the installation should again be checked.
Lastly, most important point we need to keep in our mind as parents is to Remove bulky coats and clothing from your child before placing them in the car seat. They might get suffocated and that's a risk.

I'm halfway through my first week of doubles (10 classes each week, so I did 5 classes in 3 days already) and I haven't fallen out yet. In fact, I'm doing surprisingly well, considering I've done a full 20 classes in 20 days this month. This is by far the most active I've been in a REALLY, REEEEEEEELY long time. Like in at least 7 or 8 years. That's major, people. I was working out quite a bit in 2004-2005 because that was around the time I was finishing my master's degree and was getting married thereafter. But after that, it was all downhill. And you know how that ended up.
So as I reflect on the month ending and the possibility of a 90 day challenge, I can't help but be a little bewildered. When did this change happen? Am I becoming an actual exercising person? How did that happen?
Has being in a 105 degree room for hours on end over the past few months caused my brain to work differently? Am I dehydrating myself into lunacy???? (don't worry, I drink over 100 ounces of water every day, in addition to my 22 ounces of coconut water after each class)
But seriously, this is a strange place to be. I no longer walk into the studio and lay down on my mat, immediately worrying about injuries and things like that. I lay down on my mat and think about normal people things like this:
- It's flipping hot in here. Why do I keep coming back?
- Maybe I should have peed one more time before I came in here.
- I hope the guy who "adjusts" himself all the time isn't next to me. I can't deal with that again in my peripheral vision.
- I need to shave my legs.
- Maybe I should bring a 32 ounce bottle of water to class like everyone else? No, you don't need more than 8 ounces of water during class. You'll just yack it up during forward folding postures.
- If I fall asleep while waiting for class to start, will I start snoring since I'm on my back?
So as you can see, my mind is totally not on what it was consumed with 6 months, even 3 months ago.
Perhaps it's because I've finally come to realize, and ACCEPT, that each day on the mat is different. Even if I pull a double that day, each class is different. My body is different. This has become my mantra…
60 Day Challenge Stats:
- Classes #37-45
- Classes to go: 15
- Days left: 11

Answer comments are obviously not the right place to paste code. However in discussion it may be useful to refer to some code, for example a candidate implementation of something. Where are you supposed to post the code? An external service like Github gist?
My use case is the following: I used an answer to write a short program, and I'd like to post the result as a thank you to the answerer, and also for future reference.
Edit: based on the (poor) feedback I got here, my conclusion is to use an external provider such as GitHub gists.

I wish my phone had a mode that prioritized 3G first, and only switched to 4G when 3G wasn't available- then I could park my phone on that mode when I was facing a likely congestion situation, like a concert or a convention (or my kid's high school parking lot at dismissal time!)
(Or, alternatively, I wish Android would allow third-party apps to set the preferred network without having to root the phone so I could use "profile" apps to switch me in and out of 3G based on time or location!)

The run is known as one of the best intermediate to advanced whitewater runs in the Columbia Gorge and its no wonder so many paddlers call Hood River home with this river in their back yard. The river corridor, although largely in private ownership, is nearly completely undeveloped as bedrock walls of columnar basalt rise up from the river to the forested canyon rim. While most of the run is class III, it finishes off with some more challenging class IV. Although these final rapids are relatively straightforward class IV at moderate flows and a good place to learn to boat more advanced whitewater, things crank up a notch as flows rise. Stories of epic high water runs at flood stage circulate among the Hood River boating community.
The section of the Hood known as Dee to Tucker typically starts out with a fun mile of whitewater on the East Fork Hood that ends with Confluence Rapid. An alternative is to put in at the base of Punch Bowl Falls on the West Fork Hood.
At standard flows, the 5 miles downstream from the confluence of the east and west fork is enjoyable and nearly continuous action with class II whitewater interspersed with a number of fun class III rapids. The scenery and quality of the whitewater are simply spectacular and draw paddlers from across the region. Early in this section and soon after passing the intake for the Farmer's Irrigation Canal, you will come to Aquaduct Rapid (aka Pipeline). The upper drop takes you down the left against a bedrock wall and the lower drop includes the best surf spot on the run.
As you near the end of the run, you will come to a green truss bridge that carries a waterline across the river. This marks the start of the class IV rapids and the first one, Island Rapids, is a long one down the river right channel. Immediately below this drop the river slams into Wallbanger, a head wall rapid on river left. A few more fun class IV rapids continue as you pass Tucker County Park on river right and eventually arrive at the Tucker Bridge.
While kayakers who are just doing the upper run take out here, access is challenging for rafters who often just continue on with the next run down to the Columbia River.
Logistics: Access for this run has always been a little bit of a challenge and it would likely be more popular with rafters if the issues could be solved. The traditional put-in access has been on the downstream river left side of the Dee Bridge, but this is private property as access within the bridge right-of-way is not practical.
Upstream of the bridge the river is in a steep gorge and an old dam creates a hazard that generally precludes access upstream (Hood River County owns the land on river right at the Dee Highway Bridge across the East Fork Hood which could serve as a put-in if not for the hazards of the dam site).
Kayakers have been using the street end at Iowa Street just downstream of the Dee Bridge on river right. Parking is limited however (please don't park in the private open space adjacent to the street end). From the street end you walk about 10 yards downstream and follow a steep trail down into the gorge. This access puts you in just upstream of the last rapid on the East Fork Hood before the confluence.
For the take-out, you can exit the river at Tucker Park but good whitewater continues all the way down to the Tucker Bridge. Another issue with the park is the road into the park is gated during the winter boating season although you can park outside the gate. You can exit the river at the USGS gage station downstream river right of the Tucker Bridge where a trail switchbacks up below the bridge. Parking is limited however. You may be able to park a shuttle vehicle at the Apple Valley Country Store if you buy a round of huckleberry shakes or BBQ after your run. Alternatively, there are a couple spots along the highway shoulder on the upstream river right side of the bridge.
Remnants of an old dam that has hazardous debris and a tendency to collect wood. For this reason most prefer putting in downstream.
An alternative access from the end of Iowa Street that avoids private property issues at Dee but has limited parking.
A fun drop at the confluence of the east and west forks of the Hood River.
The upper half of the rapid flows down river left. After passing under the aquaduct, you will enter the lower half which has a sweet surfing wave with decent eddy service.
The start of the class IV rapids that continue on down to Tucker Bridge. The first one is the longest.

If someone gets hurt on a river, or you read about a whitewater-related injury, please report it to
American Whitewater. Don't worry about multiple submissions from other witnesses, as our safety
editors will turn multiple witness reports into a single unified accident report.
A vision more than a century in the making is about to become reality with last week's decision by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission to approve the grant for the acquisition of Punchbowl Falls and the property at the confluence of the West and East Forks of the Hood River.
Punch Bowl Falls is one of Oregon's iconic scenic and recreational sites on the Hood River in the Columbia Gorge. At the confluence of the east and west forks of the Hood River, the site has been privately owned and its future remains to be determined. Our goal is to see the site become a public park and we encourage the boating community to join that discussion.
This summer, American Whitewater has joined a campaign to raise funds to protect Mt. Hood's Punch Bowl Falls in Oregon. We're asking the paddling community to step up in support of this project!
Today Congressmen Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) and Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) announced their plan for increasing Wild and Scenic Rivers in Oregon this year. Their vision includes adding 79.6 miles of Wild and Scenic Rivers on the Mt. Hood National Forest and 142.9 miles of tributaries to the Lower Rogue Wild and Scenic River.
Log into the American Whitewater website and you can contribute to river descriptions,
flow and access tips, and maps associated with runs you've done. You can even add new
runs to the inventory!

- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon honey
In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg until it turns frothy. Combine the above ingredients thoroughly. With clean fingertips, massage the mixture into your wet hair. Wind your hair in a high bun over your head and cover with a disposable shower cap. Sit for 15 minutes allowing the goodness of the mask to sink deep into your hair follicles. When the time is up, wash off the mask from the hair roots to the ends. Rinse off as many times as possible until all of the mask is off. Shampoo well to remove the hair mask smells and condition as usual. Give a final rinse with cold water and wrap your hair in a fluffy towel.

There will be no column from me this week, because, with much sadness, I am leaving the New Statesman. I have really love working with my colleagues there, remain an enormous fan of the magazine, and will touch base there from time to time. The Independent, however, have offered me a job as a full- time columnist and reporter, and I have accepted.
Because I am in urgent need of some time to sit my bum on a chair and not get up until I've written a book, I'll start working for the Independent on a part- time basis at the end of April, and then on a full time basis in June. It's a big step and I'm a bit nervous, but mostly hugely excited. :)
