Shame on you for putting the blame on single mothers. Its the fault of the absent parent that does not want to be the positive role model in his son/daughters life.
Good luck to you Travis. You took your second chance and did a wonderful thing. Good luck with the book and the kids!!
To my fellow rider...RIP.
We as riders need to be more aware of our surroundings, as drivers are not always aware of us.
When I was a "youth" attending Gulfview Middle, I was once disorderly. They did not call the police, they called my parents and asked if they could paddle me. When I asked my father about it some years ago, he told me he did not remember the principal calling for his permission and the principal was not in the room with me when he called my father. That was the way the school system dealt with unruly children in the 70's. I will never forget that day!!
This is a terrible time for working families to try and attend. I live in North Naples and finish work at 5:00. If I'm lucky, I could get there by 6:00 PM and then I will have to park, walk to the street and find a place to sit. Maybe next year they can think about scheduling it on a Saturday morning as with most parades.
Where on the bottle of medication does it list a side effect as..."may cause you to force young boys to perform oral sex"?
I bought the antenna and the converter came home and hooked it up. I have less channels then before. I took them both back for a refund, hooked up my cable and now have about 18 channels. None that are local but it's ok...I can watch my TV shows on hulu. com
I am a longtime resident of Naples and I remember when the plaza was built. "Back in the Day" it was nice place to visit for shopping and dining or a visit to the dentist. But as new shopping areas and restaurants were built it lost it's appeal. I think with all of the green we are taking away it would be nice to see some put back. Maybe an arboretum/dog park! Lord know we don't have enough pet friendly places for our four legged family members.
why do they keep calling them marijuana cigars? Is that different from a joint or is that just being politically correct.
They are not the only ones that are out of a job. For some of us uemployed and looking we have to compete with the 100's of unemployed realtors that are looking for a job as well. Everytime I go to a job interview, I am told that a majority of the applicants are from the real estate and mortgage fields! It makes it hard for all of us looking for employment in SW Florida.
It's time for a womans touch in the White House...and I don't mean decorating. Former President Clinton did right for this country and so will his wife!
why would an ER nurse need to steal a patients credit care? I would think that they are making pretty good money...correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank you to the person who called LE and thanks to the Lee County SO for arresting this piece of IT. Definitely white trash that does not deserve to have an animal of any kind.
Wwe all have to do our part to make sure no animal is harmed.
So tell me br7o7wn, when all the rednecks leave with their atvs and big trucks who is going to take care of your plumbing when it's broke, your lights when they need repair or your new roof when the next hurricane comes through? It's those "Good Ol' Boys" not your neighbor with the Lexus that is out playing golf.
Hindsight, I really don't think you want to see a bunch of old nude people when you leave SWFL airport...ewwwww! Talk about getting airsick.
To say the punishment fit the crime would be an understatement. Here is a 13 year old child that has undoubtedly been misdirected in her upbringing. I have a teenage son and told him from the time he was eight about the birds and the bees. My thought is that somewhere along the line the mother forget to sit down with her child and have that mother/daughter discussion.
It is sad to think that going to a party can get you killed these days. The writer also made it sound as if this was justifiable since he has a small rap sheet.
I hope they find the person(s) responsible for this terrible crime.
My condolences to the family and friends of this young man.
True that the Jaycees should have had better planning. True their loss is the former Jaycees gain. True I will not support the former Jaycees profit "Haunted House" only because it is for their gain and their gain only. What are they going to do with the profits? Are they going to buy needy families turkey dinner or Christmas presents or are they going to be giving themselves Christmas presents?
Do you think an underpaid, single mother that has been a long time resident in Naples have a chance if she ran for a City Council?
I agree with previous posts..."Let's leave him to the gators to get a bit of his own medicine."
It's sad to think what this woman has gone through in the past nine years. I could never imaging losing a child. The pain and suffering this baby went through makes my heat ache.
Being a rider myself, I have always worn a helmet whether it was required by law or not. What I find alarming in the south is the attire riders wear. I started out in a state offered class and was advised that the proper riding gear should be a helmet, gloves, closed shoes/boots and long pants. Not sandals or boat shoes and shorts. I even have a pair of chaps that I wear in the Winter for added protection and I am so glad I do. I also know a couple of people that were ridersa and have lost legs because of their stupidity.
Does it matter what she was doing there? Even if the room was not in her name, the fact of the matter is she did not deserve to die. Obviously he did something she did not like and vise versa but the outcome did not justify her death.
I don't think growing pot is something that just illegals do. I have been living here since the early 70's when they would fly in pot and coke from other countries. Dropping bails in the gulf or landing on 41 where their connections here would meet them for a pickup. The problem is nothing new and not only related to illegals.
Let me be the first to say thank you to Governor Crist. I believe that the manatee is a fragile animal and with death population growing should not be removed from the endangered list.
It is only temporary but we have to start somewhere.
egitrm, I believe he was spelling stupid incorrectly on purpose. It takes stupid people to not notice that...or am I assuming this is true. You know what they say about assuming.
According to a prior article, the Pro's fishermen will be there this evening as well. I have always enjoyed the shops and am glad they will have one close by.
There is no way I could ever consider $6 a gallon a deal. My income does not allow it. Yes, other energy sources will be created and used but the oil companies are making billions off of the oil they suck from the earth. Having other alternatives is not going to come anytimes soon as long as we continue to pay for gas we are putting in our vehicles now.
Maybe if someone was allergic to pet dander they should stay at a shelter that does not accomodate pets. I am a pet lover and the thought of my pet going through that type of trama upsets me. I want my dog, as a family memeber, to be with me not at a shelter by herself.
GOODBUDDY...Who mentioned anything about trouble. These are young, responsible, professionals that are bored. When I was younger there were quite a few places in Naples to go out and dance, listen to live music and have some fun. You are being very judgemental of these people you don't even know.
I hope that while she is sobering up in jail, she can think about the lives she put in danger.
Do you think that someone like myself ( a single mother of 2) might actually be able to afford a place of mine own? Pinch me, I must be dreaming. Prices can stable or even come down but I will most likely be a renter as long as I live in Naples.
What are 7 & 8 year old boys doing walking home alone? If they are going home is there someone there to be with them? Some states require a child to be 12 before they can stay home after school. What if this man in the truck follows these boys home and knows where they live. They are completely defensless at this age.

Has Your Boyfriend Ever Stood Up For You?
I didn't think Spencer had it in him to swallow his pride, admit his wrongdoings, and put someone else first. But last night on The Hills, he proved me wrong! Though he didn't get very far in trying to get Heidi her job back, I was glad to see him go to her rescue.
I'm not an advocate of confrontation, but I think it'd be pretty hot to have a boyfriend stand up for me, whatever the situation. Has a boyfriend ever come to your aid when you needed rescuing?

Aww I'm sorry ilnac...and I empathize completely. I love my husband very much, as you said, in the grand scheme of things, he's wonderful...but there have definitely been some defining moments where he really needed to ride up on his white horse and slay a dragon for me, and he either galloped right past me, or worse, stood up for the dragon! But like I said, I've learned to stand up for myself.
it's kind of sad for me to say but no my man has never stood up for me. there have been many instances where he should have taken up for me and said something, but i don't know if it's just him or if he's scared to speak up but he really never had my back. i know - a lot of you would say that maybe i need to move on, but i guess it's just one of those things that i can look past in the grand scheme of things.
It depends on the situation if I'm more passionate about the issue he lets me handle it and if he his then I let him have ago at it. And sometime we both attack the issue together. Spencer is an ass and if they are in fact acting he's a very good actor.
once when i had this horrible phone prank. and when my friend who hasn't met him yet said in front of everyone that 'he (my bf) and his gangster friends might just kill us!!!' oh i just FLIPPED and told her off and asked her to apologize, in front of everyone, of course. (: i could never stand her, and this incident proved my point.
Mesayme - :rotfl: smiley rehab! I think I need to go too :)
I tend to use them a little too often... :dance:
My boyfriend has my back and I have his. We are a team, and help each other solve problems :D
Hedi got what she deserved. She was drinking on the job. What ever Spencer did was only to gain camera fame. Dont be sloppy drunk on the job and you wont get fired. Its simple.
Even my ex-husband looks out for me. :) I could call on any ex and he'd help me, I just don't. Now that I'm single, random men always want to 'help' me. LOL I just say 'No thank you, I've got it...' because that 'help' is never FREE! :)
One ex is a police officer, his number is the only one I need :)
My ex got into a few fights "defending" me. I don't think I necessarily needed defending... Once one of his friends was drunk and lifted up my skirt and my ex went absolutely ballistic on him. He had to be held back. I think it's good to have someone that will defend his gf, but only in necessary circumstances.
my guy sticks up for me all the time.
he's pretty protective.
he hates it when people try to make me feel bad.
My boyfriend and I are always there to stick up for one another, we rely on each other for support and it makes for a really great relationship. I don't rely on him to solve all my problems that's for sure, and he doesn't rely on me to solve all his either, but we are always there to help each other.
my husband has stuck up to his mom for me before. it's very sweet because I know that can't be easy for him even when he thinks it's the right thing to do.
We both stick up for each other when it's needed. And sometimes we stand up TO each other. :P
I wouldn't want my bf approaching my boss, especially if part of the reason I got fired is because my bf was causing problems at work. I think it's incredibly weak to expect your guy to stick up for you and handle your problems - YOU got fired, you should be the one to go over and talk to them. Or better yet, just show your class by saying hello and being cordial, then calling on Monday morning to set up a business meeting to discuss possibly getting the job back, rather than try to have a confrontation in a noisy club.
12 years ago, my boyfriend (at the time) pulled a plank off a scaffolding to beat on a couple of guys who had tried to steal my purse and were chasing me down the street. It was the bravest, sexiest thing I've ever seen. "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER" - they were running away like a bunch of scared rabbits, in front of this short skinny scrawny little guy who most definitely looked like he had rabies. And a big plank of wood.

When I recently made some purchases on Clinique the lovely lady provided me with some samples (rather large ones too) one of which being the 'Take the day off for lids, lashes and lips'. While I do not own a full size product I do have a 50ml version of the exact same product (I said it was a large sample) and so feel I can write a respectable review on it. === The packaging === Like I said I have a sample size (well 2 actually, one with a green lid and one with a silver lid) and the packaging is basically the same as the full size product. The product is housed in a purple clear bottle with the words 'Clinique take the day off make up removed ... Read the complete review

I wear make-up practically every single day and it can be quite a chore to get my skin clean and clear at the end of the day. I was given a travel size bottle of this Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover, and have been using it for the past few weeks. It is available from most department stores and Clinique beauty counters costing £16.00 for a 125ml bottle. Product description: "Makeup remover for lids, lashes and lips. Unique, two-way formula that loosens the grip, then speeds the departure of the most persistent, eye makeups, mascara and lipsticks. Ophthalmologist tested. Suitable for contact lens wearers."

I am now onto my second bottle of Clinique Take the Day Off Make-Up Remover. The first bottle lasted me over six months and I have only just started on this second bottle. I am a fan of Clinique products generally and expected great things from this make up remover which I had read about many times in various beauty magazines (most of which were positive reviews) and I decided to invest in my own bottle to see what all the fuss was about. As I expected, this product is not cheap to buy. It retails for £11.50 for a 125ml sized bottle. As a regular purchaser of Clinique products, I was expecting it to be around this price mark as most of their products are on ... Read the complete review

I first sampled Clinique's Take The Day Off Make Up Remover for Lids, Lashes & Lips a couple of years ago when it was included in one of Clinique's Bonus Time promotions. I've been using it ever since. I'm getting on a bit (fifty two years old), and I'm doing my utmost to fight the signs of ageing. Unfortunately, like many women, my face shows its age most around my eyes; crows feet, laughter lines, bags, dark shadows - sadly the list goes on! I want a product that will help me win this fight, and I also like to be careful about what products could potentially come into contact with my actual eyes. So I just don't economise with eye products; I buy the ... Read the complete review

Zionsville —
The Golf Club of Indiana will soon be more than a place to play a round of golf.
A new banquet facility and improvements to the clubhouse are two of the biggest projects for the nearly 40-year-old course.
Jeff Rubenstein, director of golf at the course, said since SL Development Inc. took over the course in 2011, nearly $2 million in improvements have been made including buying new equipment and carts.
"The interior of the banquet facility will be between 6,600 and 6,800 square feet," he said. "We will be able to do banquets, wedding receptions, formal events, outings, and it will serve as a general meeting space for businesses."
Rubenstein said the new, 250-seat facility will be a huge upgrade over the previous facility.
"The old hall didn't have heat or air-conditioning," he said. "We felt there was a need for a nice banquet facility in the area. On the northeast side (of Indianapolis) there's around 50 facilities, but on this side (of Indianapolis) there's less than 10."
Rubenstein said the goal is to have the facility open in May.
The clubhouse, he said, will be getting a much-needed upgrade.
"The space of our pro-shop will not be changing, but the interior will," he said. "We'll be expanding it and putting in new fixtures. We hope to raise the ceilings by about three feet to give it a new look."
Rubenstein said they will be adding an outdoor deck that will seat nearly 50 people.
"That will be a nice area that we could host events as well," he said. "Plus it'll be a nice place to sit and relax after a round of golf."
An enlarged storage and preparation area is the biggest advantage the improved clubhouse will have.
"We are tremendously increasing our storage and prep area, which will allow a wider variety of food and a bigger menu for our snack bar," Rubenstein said. "That will be exceptionally nice and give us more options on food."
Rubenstein said the upstairs of the clubhouse will have an expanded golf academy, the Pro-formance Academy.
Tony Day, who was named the Indiana Teacher of the Year by the Professional Golfers Association, said the larger area will be a big boost to his operation.
"With the improvements, we'll have a bigger space and be able to provide more services," he said. "The golf industry is not doing so hot, so we have to provide more services and better customer service than other courses. With these improvements, we'll be able to offer more ,] services year round."
Brownsburg resident David Baker said he has been receiving lessons at the course for at least seven years.
"I'll have a jump-start on a lot of guys by coming here in the winter," he said. "It's important to stay active with golf in the winter months, and (Day) helps me accomplish that."
Day said some of the services they will be able to provide are golf-specific fitness training, club fitting and yoga.
"I want more people in here year-round, and I want more families in here," he said. "We'll be able to have a lot more people in here and have more people of different ages."
Rubenstein said their rates would not go up as a result of the improvements.
"Our philosophy has been that we are very happy with our loyal customers," he said. "We feel, with the improvements, their experience will be enhanced, and we will then be priced accordingly. We are trying to minimally impact our golfers; so we are doing all of our improvements in the winter."
Rubenstein said frequent players have been heavily involved throughout the process.
"Ultimately it doesn't matter what I want, it matters what the patrons want," he said. "We are trying to involve them as much as possible. There are certain things that people like and don't like about our course. We are trying to upgrade the don't likes and enhance the likes."
Rubenstein said there may be more improvements coming to the course in the future.
"When the new ownership took over (in 2011), they made a commitment to upgrade our facilities," he said. "There is a master plan, and we hope to execute that plan in the coming years. We anticipate a lot of things happening, but you never know what will happen. We're excited for the future, though."

The third parameter isn't the number of mipmaps, it is the number of channels (which in your case will be 3, since you specify RGB).
The number of mipmaps should be roughly floor( log2( min(width, height) ) ).
Provided, of course, that your image has mipmaps, and SOIL is actually loading them. I haven't stared at the code in a while, but I seem to remember that one needed to use SOIL itself to do the upload to OpenGL, all in one shot, and specify the SOIL_FLAG_DDS_LOAD_DIRECT flag...

I picked up site from programmer and i found almost all the time he has has some wiered function declaration.
He includes class and calls function e.g. update_user_info($_POST);
then in class its like this
function update_user_info($obj) {
if (!empty($_POST["user_name"]) && !empty($_POST["user_email"])) (
$sql = "UPDATE myusers SET user_name = {$_POST["user_name"]} WHERE user_id = {$_POST["user_email"]}";
Whats interesting her never uses $obj
I trying to tell it to him but he's saying it makes no difference if i use it or post directly i know its wrong but cannot like put it to words, can someone tell me few points why this is not good practice?
EDIT: from security standpoint and just common sense its just makes no sense to me to even pass variable to function and not use it a single time afterwards. e.g. if i decide to change the variable posted to function it will not affect anything because function lost its essence of being closed, universal thing. The way he uses it is like regular code just put elsewhere for no reason he could as well just do it in same file where he called function effect would be same. He has new function for every single page and i never seen any of them actually repeating in any other pages trough project.

Nintendo 3DS fall 2012 lineup confirms Paper Mario, Professor Layton, Epic Mickey & Skylanders
Luigi's Mansion sequel remains curiously absent, however
Nintendo has updated their 3DS launch lineup for this fall, confirming late October 2012 releases for titles like Skylanders: Giants and Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, and Disney Epic Mickey and Paper Mario: Sticker Star for November just in time for the holiday shopping season.
- Art Academy: Lessons for Everyone! (Oct. 1) – Users of any artistic skill level can learn painting and drawing techniques that can be applied to real-life art projects, with optional, additional lessons available for purchase.* The game also lets users share and download certain game content via SpotPass.
- Crosswords Plus (Oct. 1) – More than 1,000 professionally designed crossword puzzles will challenge players at any skill level. They can also receive and share bonus puzzles via StreetPass or connect their Nintendo 3DS to the Internet to receive free additional puzzles via SpotPass. The game also includes other game play modes such as Wordsearch, Anagrams and the new Word of the Day.
- Sparkle Snapshots 3D (Oct. 18) – Launching exclusively in the Nintendo eShop, this downloadable game is a fun photography application that lets you personalize your 2D photos by adding 3D layers of stickers, ribbons, pens and other effects. Users can then share creations wirelessly with friends or transfer them to an SD card and email them.
- Skylanders Giants from Activision Publishing, Inc. (Oct. 21) – Fans can look forward to more than 20 new inter-action figures to collect, including Giants that are twice the size of regular Skylanders and new LightCore Skylanders that light up both in the game and in real life when they are placed on the Portal of Power.
- Style Savvy: Trendsetters (Oct. 22) – Players can run their very own full-scale fashion shop and spark a fashion revolution by helping customers keep up with current trends, buying new clothes for their customizable store and sharing their creations with their friends online.
- Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask (Oct. 28) – Experienced fans and newcomers to the Professor Layton series can solve dozens of fascinating puzzles as they work their way through a new mystery storyline. Players can even download one additional puzzle per day for 365 days, starting on game launch day, at no additional charge.
- Freakyforms Deluxe: Your Creations, Alive! (Nov. 5) – Players can create their own creatures and use them to explore a planet that they customize. Freakyforms Deluxe: Your Creations, Alive! contains new features not found in the original downloadable title, such as dungeons to explore, enhanced creating capabilities with more parts to choose from and new special powers that can be used to further personalize the creatures. The game also features Download Play, which allows players to share the creative experience with friends who do not have a copy of the game.
- Paper Mario: Sticker Star (Nov. 11) – Nintendo's classic Paper Mario franchise gets a fresh 3D look in its hand-held debut. Stickers are the backbone of Mario's newest adventure in which players use stickers found in the game to not only win battles, but to solve puzzles as well.
- Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion from Disney Interactive (Nov. 18) – Inspired by the classic Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, this game features new ways for Mickey Mouse to interact with a 3D game world using paint and paint thinner.
Notice someone missing from this party? Once again, Luigi ends up being the only guy everyone forgot to invite, as Nintendo's list lacked any mention of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, the 3DS sequel to the Luigi-centric GameCube adventure title. This is very likely a sign that Nintendo intends to delay Dark Moon's North American release until sometime next year, which is when we'll hopefully get more details on the promised Fire Emblem localization.

I dropped from the 2013 Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc in Trient, Switzerland on Saturday morning—139km and 17hr after the start in Chamonix, France, but still 29km from making it all the way around the mountain. Curiously—despite the DNF—UTMB was one of the most pleasant, even serene, racing experiences I've had out on the trails. However, sometimes a few pieces of gristle are all it takes to bring a halt to our silly ambitions, and, if you let it, completely transform your outlook on the day. I've tried to not let that happen, but I'm a competitive bastard, and it takes constant attention on my part to keep my perspective firmly situated in the much-vaunted "bigger picture". Sometimes you really want to win the fucking race, though. Or just finish, even. And when you don't, it's disappointing. Big surprise.

Capitol-Snowmass Link-up
Capitol Peak and Snowmass Mountain in Colorado's Elk Range are unique when compared to the range's other 14ers in that they are composed of fractured granite rather than the teetering piles of sedimentary choss that make up the range's even more famous 14ers (notably, Pyramid and the Maroon Bells). Because of its mandatory Knife Edge on the NE Ridge standard route, Capitol is considered by some to be the state's most difficult 14er (debatable, of course), and Snowmass is probably the most remote 14er outside of the San Juan range—not a lot of people climb it in a single day. I have an interest in eventually completing a north-to-south link-up of all seven of the Elk 14ers, so rehearsing the best route between Capitol and Snowmass seemed like a good idea.
When I left the Leadville Fish Hatchery at 2am on Monday morning—setting out on the Nolan's 14 link-up—I suspect I thought I would have a much longer and more interesting story to tell about my journey than the tale I have in my head right now. The short of it is that I started out stupidly early in the morning, felt crappy already by the second peak (Mt. Elbert), and kept going for four more peaks and 10 more hours, but instead of things getting better they just kept getting worse and worse so I ultimately bailed after Mt. Belford (#6) and descended to the Missouri Gulch trailhead, in relief.
All photos: Matt Trappe.
Nolan's 14 Scouting
On the summit of Missouri Mt, I pointed out the rest of our day's objectives to Joe. From our vantage point, the summits of Belford, Oxford, Harvard, Columbia, and Yale were all clearly visible. Joe and I both had linked up the first five summits before, but tacking on Yale at the end was uncharted territory for us, and the night before I'd even forgotten to peruse the internet for beta on its ascent.
This week was my mom's 65th birthday and retirement party, on the same day. Mom has been an educator for 34 years and Friday was finally her last day of school. I drove the 9hrs home to Niobrara, NE to celebrate with her and my Dad, and the entire way I fought a vicious northerly headwind that left my ears ringing and my brain exhausted from focusing to keep The Roost on the road. But, once you get a 100 miles or so away from the Front Range and out onto the Great Plains, the wind is nothing really worth commenting on. It is simply endemic to the environment. Wind notwithstanding, late May is actually a really ideal time to visit my home—the hills are resplendent with a lush emerald; the whippoorwills have already made their way back, offering a reliable and lovely serenade each evening; the weather is pleasantly warm but not necessarily yet hot and sticky; and the bugs (chiggers in the grass during the day, mosquitos in the evening) haven't quite yet decided that it's time to torment.
Road Trip
"In a strange kind of way, lifeless landscapes have so much to say." –Porcelain Raft, Shapeless and Gone
April on the Front Range had record snowfalls, so a trip south to the desert made sense. Joe had a planned rendevous with his uncle in the Grand Canyon and my apartment sublease was up and I needed a long, hot run to get ready for Transvulcania next month, so figured, why not?
Joe's and my first road trip together was the 22hr epic out to Western States in 2010 where he drove the entire way; the long, crooked arm of the law shamelessly profiled our unkempt, hirsute visages half-way across Nevada (thanks to the "Runners To Watch" section in the WS100 Handbook, we were able to finagle a warning); and I learned the meaning of Joe's moniker "Joe G FM"—with his olympic abilities as a conversationalist, we never turned on the radio in over 1000 miles of driving.
A Reminder
I knew it was a different morning on Longs when I left the parking lot with a bare head and bare hands. Usually I'm pretty chilly at the trailhead, but on this day the sweat was pouring off my eyebrows and nose on the very first steep cut up through the trees, and instead of dreading the breeze at treeline I welcomed it for its cooling properties.
Whenever one has a mishap in the backcountry, the chain of decisions and events that led up to it always seem so obvious in hindsight. But I suppose that's just the way it works. I was battling a bit of a head cold and was feeling beat down from a previous 10 days of high-volume outings, so on this morning I resolved to just wake up whenever my body wanted, not interrupting my slumber with the typical 5am alarm that I set when I'm planning on an ascent of Longs Peak. As such, I arrived at the trailhead an hour later than usual, and on top of that it was a gloriously warm day—temps in Boulder later in the day would reach the low-70s.
The Longs Peak Project
This morning was my 10th summit of Longs Peak so far this year, and the third this week. My previous two times up the mountain earlier in the week were both probably the toughest conditions I've experienced on the mountain. Temperatures weren't unreasonable, but on both Wednesday and Friday the mountain was completely socked in by unforecasted, heavily-snowing clouds, and whipping winds sent constant waves of spindrift through the air. Though it was a week late, it felt more like winter than any of my previous true winter ascents of the mountain.
This morning was quite a bit different. On the way up there was plenty of snow blowing in the wind, but once I had made it to the west side of Mt. Lady Washington the wind mostly died and the rest of the day was exceedingly pleasant. All of the snow on the north face made the technical climbing feel easy and secure, so on the way down I just downclimbed instead of rappeling, and since the sun was now high in the sky I actually stripped down to a short-sleeve t-shirt at 13,000′ and ran back down to the trailhead in comfort.
Deep Roots
Getting up the hill this particular day wasn't going to be easy. When I awoke, the gently flaking sky seemed benign enough, but now, half-way up Green Mountain, my jacket is soaked through, I'm slogging through shin-deep powder and a raucous north wind is inducing periodic white-out conditions. Up here on the hill, the snow rate has officially crossed the line from "bucolic snow-globe scene" to "blizzard". A quick tag of the summit and I turn to begin the slalom back down, eager to regain the shelter of the forest.
As I'm running the streets back down to my apartment—indulgently striding right down the center, taking advantage of the universally higher amounts of inertia that exist in homes on weekend mornings, especially when it's snowing—I am reminded of my roots as a runner. When I was 13, I would regularly run 20 milers in this kind of crap, I think. Thirteen. Over 15 years later, my current pursuits—100 mile mountain races, all-day peak-bagging efforts—suddenly make a lot more sense with that kind of perspective and history.

Metropolis Opera Project
celebrates 5 years in operation with the classic
by Arrigo Boito
This fantastic, timeless score will be brought to life with a new English libretto, superb singers and a dynamic new production. Check back soon for more information on dates, tickets and the official announcement of our cast.
We hope you'll join us in hell.
Metropolis Opera Project is a group of artists dedicated to the development and continuation of the operatic tradition. We specialize in breaking boundaries and crossing genres, often reaching into unexplored musical territory where opera is concerned, diving into hip-hop, rap, electronica, folk and jazz as well as reexamining traditional opera. We strive to redefine opera and present it to a new generation of opera-goer all the while paying homage to the traditions of the art form. We're proud to have presented over 25 shows, concerts and events since our first production in 2008, including many world premiere operas by American composers.

Patents are the new kind of "ammunition" for companies these days, and in a particular patent that Microsoft filed in 2012 (which has obviously been made public), it depicted an idea to churn out augmented reality glasses for gamers, especially for those involved in multiplayer gaming. The patent request was for "the system and related methods for inviting a potential player to participate in a multiplayer game via a user-mounted display device."
For instance, a future player invitation program will be on the receiving end of user voice data, where it will perform an analysis and determine whether said user voice data is an invitation to participate in a multiplayer game or not. Other than that, the patent also involves receiving eye-tracking information, depth information, facial recognition information, potential player head-mounted display device information, and/or potential player voice data, which will be used to associate itself with any future invitations. Once a potential match is made, that player can join in on a multiplayer game, and the entire idea of this patent is to reduce the amount time required to set up matches via a menu system. Time is of the essence, after all.

This has hit the headlines over the last week. On the web site for the Inland Revenue, they tell you most people have claimed their Children's tax credits from 2001/2 and 2002/3, but have you checked? Funnily enough, my tax code and my husband's both ended in an L those years, so it looks like we are due a rebate. Have a look and check it out for yourself. If you fill the form out and you are not due anything, there is nothing lost.....but what if you do nothing, and then realise you could have had an extra grand in your pocket? http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/news/ctc.htm YOU HAVE ONLY UNTIL 31ST JAN FOR THE APPLICATION TO LAND ON THE DOOR MAT OF THE HMRC!! BE QUICK. |

Los Angeles News
Westlake District gunman wounds undercover narcotics cop
LOS ANGELES -- An undercover police officer was shot in the Westlake District early Thursday morning, and the gunman is on the run.
Authorities say someone shot at the officer's unmarked vehicle at about 3 a.m. on the 400 block of Virgil Avenue. The bullet penetrated the driver's side door and grazed the officer in the leg. He was treated at the scene and released.
Officials say the injured officer and a colleague were conducting a narcotics investigation at the time of the incident. They were driving in the area when an another vehicle pulled alongside them, firing off a round into the officers' car.
Police were actively searching the area for the gunman by ground patrol as well as helicopters. As of about noon, several blocks of Virgil Avenue remained blocked off for police investigation.
Now, the search is on for one or possibly two suspects who abandoned their vehicle and fled on foot shortly after the shooting. Police didn't have a specific description of the suspects, except that they were Hispanic males. The car they left behind was a tan colored SUV.
A number of people have been taken into custody for questioning, and a home near where the suspect vehicle was abandoned was being searched.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, when someone was
voted off SURVIVOR, they were gone. I mean GONE! Sometimes we'd get a glare or a scathing
comment, but then they'd disappear into the darkness. Pre-jury rejects often became just a distant
memory. Jury members came back to watch
and eye-roll, but they weren't involved in any game play. REDEMPTION
ISLAND changed all of that. There
are many haters out there, those who loath the second chance. ME? I
am not sure. I liked the dark exit, but
there IS something to be said for the
possibility of a comeback or to wreak a little havoc from the center of the coliseum. Like
it or not, Redemption Island is here for the duration.
Marissa received a warm welcome from Candace and Rupert. She told them that her tribe had been mad at Gervace for his over the top immunity win celebration. She knew that she had been singled out, among the other girls. Candace wondered if Marissa's outspoken contempt for Brad had made an impression. Remember it? Brad admitted that he'd have trouble seeing Monica suffer and might not try as hard to win. Marissa had said she didn't want to play that way. I think Candace might be on to something. Brad was the mastermind in picking Marissa and he may have been dwelling on his own faux pas and the repercussions. Rupert was just thrilled that his baby doll, Laura wasn't joining them. It's easy to forget that the RI members had left before the challenge, so they' had no way of knowing the challenge outcome.
The GALANG tribe was getting along famously (haha, pun intended), they formed a massage Congo line everyone stood in a column and massaged the shoulders of the person in front. Colton watched wearily. He was sick of the "Zen, yoga mentality". Monica told him to be patient and calm and stop stressing about it. Aras noticed Colton's anxiety and was getting sick of his attitude. "We are peace, we are Zen, we are STUPID!" confided the crazed Colton. He was tired of all the lovey-dovey touchy-feely togetherness. He tried to talk to Tina and Aras, but they didn't want to be bothered with strategy. Tina declared that she'd talk about "anything else except Survivor". Hello, girlfriend, are you forgetting something? You and Aras may have both won your seasons, but there is a "game afoot" as Tarzan from One World would say. As annoying as Colton is, he's right about playing and trying to be strategic early.
Brad enjoyed showing the other guys of TADHANA how to use the Hawaiian fishing spear. He was happy that they had fire and could cook the fish feast. He quoted the Bible about teaching a man to fish and reaping the benefits of knowledge and skill. Tyson's chick, Rachel looked at the numbers and didn't like being in the female minority. She cozied up to John and tried to be "work with the guys". Ciera caught on to the ploy and told Katie to keep a close eye on Rachel.
TREE MAIL invited both tribes to witness the REDEMPTION ISLAND contest. In the past only two from each could watch. I bet Probst thought it would be more emotional to see how people reacted to seeing their loved ones. He's right; there were many winks, smiles and knowing glances exchanged. John had worked himself into a tizzy about how mad his wife, Candace was at him for not switching places. He just wanted her to smile and confirm their love. He wasn't disappointed as Candace entered and gave him an adoring grin. Gervace was NOT happy to see his niece, Marissa in the pit. Laura and Rupert locked gazes and their love was palpable as ... oops, almost slipped into a romance novel there. Tina, the other Laura and Monica were emotional looking at their kin. Probst couldn't believe how teary they were getting. Laura said it was mostly relief to see their family still safe. Way to make Gervace feel WORSE, Probst!
Marissa told the GALANG tribe that she was ousted because of Gervace's exuberant celebration. She was mad as hell about it too. Gervace promised revenge. JEFF PROBST asked Gervace if he wanted to trade places with Marissa. After locking eyes, Gervace told her to "Handle your biz", meaning avenge yourself. Wise choice! She was full of fire and ready to kill it. I guess the swapping thing is only a one time deal, right?
The three were given ten wooden spools. They had to grab the spools with a spool fitting pole and run it through a vertical easy maze. Once through the maze they placed the spool on an attached platform. One at a time, they built a tower of spools on the wobbly disc. Candace took the lead, with Rupert not far behind. The two returnees had it in hand until Rupert spilled his tower. He was never able to recover and ended up being last to finish. Marissa and Candace had taken down the mighty oak. Unbelievable that Rupert would be the first one eliminated. He was proud to have NOT been voted out, and pleased to have given his wife an opportunity to go further. After a passionate embrace and declarations of undying love, Rupert left his wife to throw his buff in the burning urn (which Probst pronounces "urine"). The plus to winning was that Candace got to give away an immunity idol clue. She joked that the who was easy. She passed it to her husband, John.
Laura was relieved that Rupert was out of the picture and she didn't have to worry about him. Colton could not take all the "middle school" feelings of good will floating around his GALANG tribe. Within a minute of air time, he told one person to get rid of Laura, another to focus on Aras and worked hard to mess with the harmony. He wanted to create his own "chaos". Around the campfire he expressed his frustration, but the "kum-bi-a" continued. I noticed a girl with her arms around Aras. Who could that be? Wait, it's Tyson, oops, sorry, Bud, you might want to get a haircut. What was he doing with Aras between his legs? I really like both of them, but it was just weird. The next morning, Colton thought "everyone is super sketchy". Ya think? Weren't you the one planting seeds of doubt? Monica tried to get him to relax, again. I wish she'd just let him get a little nuts, it's more fun to watch. Tyson, Aras, Monica, Tina and Gervace formed an alliance, promising to tell each other if Colton started throwing their names around. Aras thought Colton was acting like a "gay Russell Hantz", actually not a bad comparison. Two southern boys who like to shake things up.
With all the time devoted to REDEMPTION ISLAND, there was only time for one challenge. The IMMUNITY CHALLENGE was combined with a fishing gear REWARD. Three people rolled a barrel toward a station. A member jumped out to untie a bag of balls. After rolling around to several stations, the balls were handed to the second bunch to untie. One person then had to take the balls and throw all six into six spots on the inclined target area. Gervace threw against Hayden. The poor BIG BROTHER champion, Hayden never stood a chance against Gervace. Why? Da-uh! Gervace is from Jersey. Anyone living near the Jersey Shore is adept at skeeball. Can you say boardwalk game? Gervace nailed it! "Marissa, that's for you, baby", he yelled, in a much more subdued style.
Katie immediately realized one of the girls was going. The guy alliance was too evident to ignore. What is it called? Bralliance? Bro-lliance? Five guys (GREAT BURGERS btw – and what about those fresh FRENCH FRIES?? YUMMMY!) Vytas wanted Rachel gone. John had bonded with her and fought to keep her around. Vytas argued that removing Rachel might force Tyson to swap places. John didn't like the ideal of Tyson against Candace. Ciera and Katie were told to vote for Rachel, but decided to try and break up the alliance by going after John, the weakest link. Even Hayden and Vytas were starting to consider John a liability. Vytas didn't want to be the one to suggest getting rid of John.
In the shortest TRIBAL COUNCIL in history (I was sending a tweet and missed it), Rachel was sent packing. She was kind and responded with a "Peace, guys" before leaving. She marched off to see Candace and Marissa. Will Marissa be cold to her, or will she realize that the guys were the ones who got rid of her. It seems like it would be hard to stay mad at sweet Rachel.
I was so sorry to see RUPERT eliminated. I can't believe he's just done. He's one of my personal favorites and I'm sorry to see him axed. Next week, the three girls seem pretty evenly matched, so it could be anyone's game. The previews showed Tyson getting up to replace Rachel, but that could be a ploy to distract and deceive. Marissa has a lot of fire in her to maintain the inner strength needed to continue winning. We've all seen how revenge can keep a person going. Look at Ozzie, Christina and Matt from seasons past.
What are your thoughts? Enjoying this season so far? Think Candace will continue to dominate? Are you sorry to see Rupert go? I love Aras and Vytas so far. They are both playing smart and unemotionally. Can they both maintain their composure forever? Drop me a comment and let me know. Please "like" this on Facebook if you've gotten this far.

After reading that WSJ article several months back about how the Chinese can't even deliver the goods in a timely manner because they are so disorganized. I laughed that China's says they have 'Overnight Deliveries' when in reality, it should be referred to as 'Unreliable Deliveries' a month ot two later. Sending perishables in China must be like sending guaranteed spoiled food with China's delivery services.
That picture of the overloaded bicycle delivery person, explains why China in many ways, is still in the eighteenth century instead of the twenty-first century!
I think you mixed up China with India haha.
I had trouble using Joyo.com (amazon.cn) 5 years ago, but no more. They send it quickly.
360buy.com also worked well for me in Beijing and Shanghai.
Of course there are exceptions …
Have you ever done business in China?
Always late in delivery
The quality is always different from what you order
The only thing they are very precise is to collect the money before you get the goods
When you place a claim the only thing you will get is " Sorry" and nothing else
US Postal workers steal too much mail
Bankrupt American $uckers
Mr. Chen, These problem is ubiquitous and transcend the concept of nation-state. I do not recommend buying shoes online.
The Communist Party's new reform blueprint has unleashed a sense of optimism, but at least one high-profile government adviser is worried that the road ahead is still strewn with major roadblocks.
The Chinese criminal process has long retained the imprint of the Maoist era. Now, two important documents issued at the highest levels of the Chinese government signal an attempt at reform by directing police, prosecutors and the courts to adhere to requirements of procedural justice when administering the criminal process.
China's establishment of a new air-defense identification zone covering disputed territory in the East China Sea looks like the work of a muscular new leadership bent on flexing its strength in the region. Beijing's reaction–or lack thereof—to the zone's first test suggests a much more complicated picture.
China's announcement of a new Air Defense Identification Zone in the East China Sea appears targeted a stoking tensions with Japan and could undermine its long-term interests in the region, writes CRT military analyst Andrew Erickson.
While it's only possible to gauge the transformation of rhetoric into action after the fact, legal reforms proposed in China's new reform blueprint are an encouraging sign, writes veteran China law scholar Stanley Lubman.

MotoGP may generate $25M for Austin
- Staff Austin Business Journal
The three-day MotoGP race scheduled at the Circuit of The Americas LLC track in April may have a $25 million economic impact in the Austin area, according to a study.
A nonprofit affiliated with the racetrack owners — Circuit Events Local Organizing Committee — filed the study and an application for incentives with the state in December 2012, the Austin American-Statesman reports.
Circuit officials are seeking nearly $2.2 million from the Texas Event Trust Fund for state sales, car rental, alcohol and hotel and motel taxes the April 19-21 race will generate, the Statesman reports.
Three other race events are scheduled at COTA this year: V8 Supercars in May, and the World Endurance Championships and American Le Mans Series in September.
