i only want to buy an adapter plug, not the whole kit
I have a UK magsafe power adapter for my macbook, but want a US adapter plug for when i travel.

1 Answer from the Community
Just go to the US without it, stop by the local Apple retail store, and buy the 5W (for iPhone, iPod, and iPad mini) or 12W (for all Apple devices that can charge using USB). Note, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation white iPods (released in 2001, 2002 and 2003 respectively) will NOT charge with any adapter that you can buy from the Apple online store and/or Apple retail store. They need an older FireWire 400 adapter, which is no longer available (except on eBay). But, your MacBook is new enough where you can use this adapter kit (as only older iPods won't work). If you have an iPhone 5, iPod touch 5th generation, iPad 4th generation (current model), or iPad mini (or any combination), you will need a 30 pin to Lightning adapter, which comes in adapter without cord (or a longer version, ideal for desks). Have a nice day, but remember to capitalize your sentences (and put punctuation in them too).

Piers (what kind of name is that?) Morgan is an effete, elitist pansey. He fled from his own country where he faces charges of telephone hacking and was fired from his previous job at the UK Telegraph for manufacturing "facts" in his reporting. But many of this country´s "low information" voters give his pronouncements credence simply because he delivers them with a British accent, which they somehow equate with intelligence. Ben was right. He was standing on the graves of the children killed at Sandy Hook and I was glad to see Ben not back down just because Morgan put on a show of fake offense for being called on it. Indignation is the last resort of a scoundrel.
A British Chris Matthews.
Yah../you go Ben!
Morgan is another pea brain that fills the left.
I´ve never heard any man I respect say ´´how dare you´´. Must be the plummy accent...
I watched the video via another site (think it was one of the Brietbart sites) & if I understood him correctly, Ben is OK with registration.
You know Conservatives are on the run when they´re proud of doe-popping a failed ambulance chaser like Sir Piers.

Spring Paddlefest!
On April 26 & 27, Tumalo Creek Kayak and Canoe will hold it's annual Spring Paddle Fest. Kayaking experts will teach free two-hour basic skills kayak clinics all day Saturday behind the store starting at 10 a.m. On Sunday, the party moves to River Bend Park in front of the new Parks and Rec Building.

Attendees will receive a coupon towards 10% off one non-sale boat and 15% off one non-sale accessory item during the entire spring sale.

New WDO Chamber head Marzeotti: making membership work
by Barbara Van Reed
Mark Marzeotti wears several different hats and his newest is president of the Webster-Dudley-Oxford Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. Mark officially became the president on January 8, succeeding Cheri MacKinney, after serving as its vice president.
This is a hat he will be wearing for the next two years and with it comes a mission to maintain the now-positive budget numbers and increase awareness of the Chamber's goals and functions. He hopes to increase the membership significantly.
Mark talked with us last week about the membership numbers. They have stayed basically the same in recent years, something he thinks is partly based on the economy. "If we had 200 members last year, we may have 200 this year, but 25 of them will be different: 12 may go out of business, five decide not to renew, three or four relocate, and so on."
But there's more to it.
Mark owns the Greenhouse Car Wash in Oxford, which he bought three years ago, and needed some help launching it. A hardware and tools sales rep by trade, this was his first time starting his own business. He wanted to differentiate his car wash from others by focusing on its green aspects: reclaimed water, solar panels and biodegradable soaps.
He had some friends in the Chamber, joined, and "quickly found out how supportive they were." Chamber Coordinator Eleanor Houbre worked with him on the launch. "I said to her, this is what I'm thinking of doing, this is what my plan is." She helped him get in touch with the right people and got key representatives to the site for the grand opening.
"There's a lot of legwork involved in setting up your own business," he said. "I don't want people to think joining the Chamber will do it all for you. It's a joint effort." He talked about how he reached out to Oxford organizations, the PTO, Little League, police, and fire. "You have to get involved in the community."
The Chamber helped with that too. "It's a great resource for who and when to contact. "
Mark seems to be an outgoing, friendly man and was able to make Chamber connections work for him. But he acknowledged that it's not that way for everyone.
The key to Chamber networking activity are the Business After Hours events, held frequently during the course of the year. Members get together at a local restaurant or other business and basically socialize. But that can be hard for some people, especially when other members keep to themselves and don't reach out.
He had that happen to him just recently. "I went up to two guys talking to each other and they just ignored me," he said.
"You you don't want to stand by yourself. You go to where you know someone. " He admits it for himself: "I don't like to go alone. I don't want to be the first one to get there if I don't know anybody."
"It's human nature, and I don't know how to change that."
But it's a big issue for the membership numbers. "Even if we did get some new members, that would be a perfect reason not to rejoin." He said the board recognizes the problem and has discussed it.
Mark's third goal for his term as president is to be "a real mouthpiece for our business members. I want to make sure the Chamber is involved in legislative issues, that our legislators perform the services our members expect."
Now for some of those other hats he wears. Mark's day job is vice president of sales and marketing at Disston Company, an international manufacturer of power tools and accessories headquartered in South Deerfield. His daily commute is an hour and fifteen minutes each way but, he says, at least "I'm going in the right direction, with no bumper to bumper traffic, and good cell phone service all the way, so I can still conduct business."
Mark grew up in Saugus, met Maribeth, married, and moved to New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Chicago, where the jobs took him, before settling in Dudley 16 years ago.
He'd always wanted to have his own business, and wanted it to be a car wash, a business that didn't need to be micromanaged. "If I can operate it successfully, with the help of retired folks for now, at some point it can be my day job."
He and Maribeth, a realtor, also own three apartment buildings with 13 apartments in Dudley.
And finally, Mark heads up the Dudley Planning Board.
Mark's experience in business and public service should serve him well in his new role as president of the Webster-Dudley-Oxford Chamber of Commerce. We wish him success.

Joan Collins - One Night With Joan at Leicester Square Theatre in London
Doors Open | Saturday 08 February 2014 at 6:30 PM |
Starts | Saturday 08 February 2014 at 7:00 PM |
One Night With Joan
Directed by PERCY GIBSON
Production Design by OLIVER SONES
Joan Collins is to return to the West End with her acclaimed one woman show, One Night With Joan, to share more stories and secrets of her celebrated life and career as one of the world's most glamorous and intriguing actresses.
Joan Collins - One Night With Joan is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to spend an intimate evening in the company of a true English Hollywood legend. Joan Collins will take to the stage with honesty, style and grace and with the same engaging wit and frankness that turned her two memoirs, Past Imperfect and Second Act, into international best-sellers. Her latest memoir Passion for Life has just been published by Constable & Robinson.
Among the many confidences, she tells of the ups and downs of her career and screens rare and often hilarious film footage from her life. It's a chance to hear first-hand about her screen test for Cleopatra and why she lost the role to Elizabeth Taylor, her on-set encounters with the formidable Bette Davis and many others including Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Paul Newman and Richard Burton; and, of course, her relationships! Another highlight of the evening are outtakes and her legendary bitch-fights with Linda Evans in Dynasty. The evening includes a question and answer session with the chance to ask Joan anything you've always wanted to know about her amazing life.
Joan Collins has appeared in more than 118 feature films and TV shows, including creating the role of Alexis Carrington on Dynasty, one of the most highly rated television dramas of all time. Her novels and memoirs have sold over 50 million copies worldwide and have been translated into 30 languages. She is a regular diarist for The Spectator and a contributor to The Daily Mail, The Telegraph, The Times and Harper's Bazaar.
On stage, Joan Collins has performed on Broadway, the West End, and in national tours in the UK and North America. She is recognised world-wide as a fashion maven of timeless beauty, and is a brand ambassador and spokeswoman for top cosmetic, health and beauty companies. On the humanitarian front, Joan Collins is devoted to the well-being of women, children and families and regularly lends her support and celebrity to causes that include finding a cure for breast cancer and empowering children with learning disabilities. She is also a committed patron of Shooting Star/Chase Hospice for Children. She is married to Theatrical Manager Percy Gibson, and they live between their homes in Los Angeles, London, New York and the South of France. In 1997 she received an OBE for her lifetime contribution to the arts and her continuing charity work.

The Center for the Arts houses three galleries — the Holtzman M.F.A. Gallery, the Asian Arts Gallery, and the Center for the Arts Gallery. The Center of the Arts Gallery is a premier exhibition space, rivaling many museum spaces. Curator Susan Isaacs and Gallery Director Christopher Bartlett schedule several exhibitions each year and summer.
Exhibitions include important living artists of the past 40 years, as well as emerging artists and students. The Holtzman M.F.A. Gallery exhibits new work by graduate students, invited students, guests from other institutions, and nationally and internationally recognized artists. The gallery serves as a catalyst for creating dialog in the classroom and the community. Openings and receptions are coordinated with the Center for the Arts Gallery. Students have opportunities to work in the gallery, as they do in the other galleries.
This is a video describing the COFAC art gallery.
The Holtzman and Center for the Arts Galleries exhibit internationally-known artists, such as Alison Saar, Creighton Michael, Sam Giliam, Nancy Jurs, and Wendell Castle, as well as student work. Many of the artists exhibiting also lecture and critique student work as guest artists during their exhibitions. The Asian Arts Gallery presents international exhibitions of contemporary and traditional arts from Vietnam, Korea, China, Japan, and many other countries. All galleries are considered as teaching resources. Undergraduate and graduate students work in the galleries and enroll in courses in exhibit design. The galleries are open to the public.
Undergraduate and graduate students create opportunities to exhibit outside of the Towson University campus, with the assistance of art faculty. One site that has supported student exhibitions for several years is the Towson Commons Gallery, located in downtown Towson.

This ring is gorgeous. I love the setting and the stone. Yes the color was light but I expected that from the picture. The price was great. The only complaint I have is the unnecessary diamonds. They don't add anything but cost. By the way, this ring is huge. I am a big girl and I wasn't sure it would look as substantial on me, but there was no need to worry. This ring has presence.
Wow....opened up the box and was so excited. It was beautiful! I immediately got compliments on it. Less than 24 hours later, I fortunately heard the stone hit the table as it just plopped out of the setting.Bummer
Bought this for my mother because she was looking for some brown jewelry. The size is nice, but much bigger than I anticipated (she loves it and its not gaudy). She never wears huge pieces and this was perfect for her, not too big and not small. Its a perfect piece to wear with jeans or out. Perfect!!! She loves it and so do I! Thanks overstock!
This ring is as beautiful as it is on the website. I am very satisfied with this product.
This is a wonderful value. The color of this amethyst is outstanding. I was very hesitate about buying this without seeing it but If you like a dark purple stone this is the one.
I have this in the green amethyst and I've had it for a couple of years now. It never fails to catch attention when I wear it. The stone is a good size, which I like, and the price is outstanding. I am actually considering buying the same ring with a different centerstone because it's so pretty.
It looks soooooo cheap. It looks like the one you can get from Chinatown for 5 or 10 dollars. Very disappoint!
It's a beautiful ring. Sizing: It kinda runs big it tends to keep turning around on the side because it is loose on me and unbalanced look Stone: the one I received looked like scratched and cracked in middle but the color was brilliant and dark which I love Diamond baguettes: barely there (lol) don't expect you'll see it first time you look at it...
This was clearly not a smokey quartz. The stone color is a flat, dark brown. Very disappointed.
This ring is beautiful and just like the picture. The band is sturdy and the stone is large and good color. My daughter really loves this birthday ring. Had purchased the same one at *** for $206 after taxes, but when I saw this one I bought it and sent the other back to *** and had money left in my wallet!!!

You talked about the importance of networking over just sending a resume, could you please explain?
-Los Angeles Job Hunter
Employers receive hundreds of resumes a day. There is no connection between the person sending the resume and the person reviewing the resume. Most of these resumes end up in the trash can. Employers are more apt to hire people they know.
Networking is just what it says; setting up a network where you can meet people working in your field of interest. If you ask people around you if they know someone in the field you are interested in, you will be surprised by the number of referrals you can get. Calling someone at a company that you have a connection with through a friend makes it easier to get your foot in the door of that company.
I recently overheard a conversation where a man was telling his friend that he couldn't understand why he wasn't getting a job. After all he said, "I send out 25 resumes a day". In the next breath he said, "last time I found a job it was through someone I knew". I thought to myself bingo! The best way to find a job is through those people you know.
You need to be prepared for what you want to say to a potential contact when you call them. Introduce yourself, explain who your connection is to that person. Have a one minute presentation about yourself to give to the contact. No rambling, be clear and succinct. Ask if this person's area is hiring. If not, ask if there are other areas within the company hiring. Try to get some face time with the person on the other end of the phone. If you can let them get to know you a little bit, it will go a long way towards moving your employment effort forward.
Many people ask about Linkedin. Linkedin is a professional social network website. Many people "link" to others in their field in order to try to get jobs. Again, this is one step removed from face to face contact. It is this face to face contact that gets your foot in the door.

How do I know when it is time to go back to school for further education or a second degree?
-Looking for knowledge, Los Angeles
Anyone who has ever held a job has developed skills. Some of the skills we realize we don't want to use, and other's we realize we love to use them, or want to learn them better. Before making a decision to go back to school, identify what you want your next career to be. Evaluate your skills and see if they are transferrable. If they are, you will need to market yourself and your skills.
If you really do not have the skills, or are changing career areas completely, then further education might be necessary. Going back to school is expensive and in many cases time consuming, so be really sure about what you want before you return for more education.

I'm in a visible position in my company, but I want to start looking for other opportunities. How do I do it discretely?
-Need to sneak around? Los Angeles
This is definitely a situation that calls for discretion. Begin by researching potential companies where you might be interested in working. Then find out if you know anyone who works at the company or in the field you are interested. Set up coffee dates with people familiar with the field or company. Your goal is to make a friend/ally. Treat this like a very casual informational interview. As them about their work, how they got started, what they like about their job, if the company is in a hiring mode right now. Try to turn the coffee date into a conversation about work and career. That way, you will find out information so you can decide if it is an area that you want to purse. If asked why you are interested, you just state that you are expanding your horizons and are always interested in what people do. Remember, people LOVE to talk about themselves!

Why do I need a Resume? How important is it to my job hunt?
-Looking for Results, Los Angeles
The resume is meant as a way to introduce yourself to a company or individual. It is an introduction to who you are and what your skills are. Most people do NOT get jobs from their resume alone. While a resume is a part of the job hunting tool, it should not be relied on to be a means to an end. I often hear people complaining that they send out lots of resumes every day and get no results. Networking is the best way to find a job.

Yes, even fine-art prices have been slashed in this economy.
Sarasota's independent art retailers are hoping lower prices will appeal to cash-strapped patrons who still want one-of-a-kind pieces without compromising their wallets or tastes.
In light of declining art sales, Allyn Gallup, of Allyn Gallup Contemporary Art, has rolled out an affordable summer art showcase, featuring works by local artists Jean Blackburn, George Pappas and Joyce Ely-Walker.
More than 50 pieces in the showcase have been priced at $1,500 or less.
"I would be less than truthful if I didn't say art galleries weren't hurting," Gallup says. "Like any other business that requires discretionary income, we're affected by the economy. The idea behind this show is to encourage people to acquire art even if they're only able to spend $1,000."
Although many of Gallup's clients' incomes have been unaffected by the recession, the country's current penny-pinching consciousness has impacted even the wealthiest art patrons in town.
"We see this happen across many high-end markets," Gallup says. "People are under pressure and so it spreads."
Lido Key artist Florence Putterman agrees. Putterman, whose work is included in this summer's affordable art show, says thriftiness among Sarasota professionals is beginning to correct the art industry's once-extraordinary prices.
Putterman draws an obvious correlation between the escalating cost of fine art and Florida's real-estate boom in the early 2000s.
"The price of art just mushroomed," Putterman says. "Department stores were charging interior designers outrageous prices for work. Things just got out of hand, and I think what we're seeing now is a correction.
Maybe a little bit of an overcorrection, but things will settle down eventually."

Federal and College Financial Aid
Recipients of assistance under the Pell Grant, Federal Work-Study, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Stafford Loan, Federal Parent Loan, and Paul Smith's College financial aid programs must also meet minimum qualitative and quantitative academic progress standards. Academic progress is determined by two criteria: the quality of academic achievement as indicated by the cumulative grade point average and progress toward the degree. With the exception of suspended students, continuing eligibility for federal and PSC need-based assistance is reviewed once per academic year, at the end of each spring semester. By definition, suspended students do not meet minimum qualitative academic progress standards.
To make satisfactory academic progress, a Paul Smith's College undergraduate student must earn at least the number of credits and the cumulative GPA indicated in the table below. The credits and average must be earned by the beginning of the term in which the financial aid is to be disbursed.
Required Minimum Successful Completion Rate - Please note that financial assistance attempted hours are the same as attempted hours used in determining the student's official enrollment status. Exceptions to the official enrollment status are made for students who add credit hours after the official enrollment (census) date. Such additional hours will be included in the number of financial assistance attempted hours for the term. Students whose overall successful completion rate falls below the required percentage will be placed on academic probation. Students placed on probation have one semester in which to establish satisfactory SAP. Failure to establish satisfactory SAP by the end of the probationary term will result in academic suspension and the loss of financial aid eligibility. Suspended students wishing to return to the College must appeal their academic suspension to the Academic Standards Committee and the loss of their financial aid eligibility to the SAP Appeals Committee.
Courses in which a passing grade is earned are considered successfully completed. Courses in which a failing grade, no pass grade, incomplete grade, withdraw passing, withdraw failing or withdrawal is assigned are not successfully completed.
Students may make up a deficiency in successfully completed credits at their own expense and submit a written request for review of eligibility to the Director of Financial Aid. Such credit hours must count toward the completion of the student's degree/certificate. Please remember all courses taken at another college must be approved in advance by the Registrar's Office.
Maximum Timeframe for Completion of Degree or Certificate Requirements - Federal grant, loan, and work study programs are limited to six years or 12 semesters of full-time enrollment, the equivalent part-time enrollment, or any equivalent combination of part-time and full-time enrollment for students pursuing the first baccalaureate degree. Students enrolled in associate degree and certificate programs are limited to three years or six semesters of full time enrollment All prior enrollment periods are considered including those in which students did not receive federal or state financial assistance. To ensure compliance with the above limitations, students enrolled in their first baccalaureate program are limited to 180 attempted credits. Associate degree students are limited to 90 attempted credits.
Transfer Credits - Credits accepted by PSC from other institutions will be used in determining total credit hours attempted and successfully completed. The cumulative GPA will be determined by the Registrar using only credits attempted at PSC. Transfer coursework accepted into the students' PSC programs will be used to make up completion rate deficits and will raise a student's cum GPA.
Incompletes – Students who convert an incomplete to a passing grade for the course prior to the start of the next regular semester (fall or spring) may submit a written request for review of eligibity to the Director of Financial Aid.
Course Repeats – Students who earn a failing grade in a course may repeat the course until it is passed. Courses in which a grade of D was earned that are repeated more than once can no longer be used for determining completion rate for financial aid neither can the credits be used in determining official enrollment status.
Student financial aid recipients failing to maintain the qualitative and/or quantitative Satisfactory Academic Progress due to an extenuating circumstance such as serious injury, illness, death or mental health condition involving the student or immediate family member can appeal in writing explaining their circumstance to the Director of Financial Aid. Students must submit documentation with the appeal which confirms this circumstance. All appeals must include why the student failed to make SAP and what has changed that will allow the student to make SAP at the next evaluation. The total number of appeals a student is allowed is three.
When a SAP appeal is denied by Director of Financial Aid, students may appeal to the Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeals Committee which is composed of the Registrar, Director of Student Accounts and the Director of Academic Success Center. Students whose appeals are approved will continue to have their records reviewed at the end of each SAP interval.
Policy will go into affect Fall 2011

Hello I'm now 17 years old, I've been *** like 5 years, i can't say when but my back is hurting me when i do it, (low back pain), friends do it and i don't think they have this issue, even when i am with a girl if she sits on my lap with cloth on i feel it hurts me also: S I'm extremely very very nervous about this, I want to stop but does this issue mean i have a serious problem? How can I recover?
Your lower back is where your prostate is. You should check with your doc and get an exam. You should try eating more foods that are high in fiber. Such as whole grains, nuts, and more fruits and vegetables. You need to see a doctor though.or you can also get information from the most trusted pharmacy available online xmaspharmacy.
Such situation are always there, so need to get nervous. But at the same time need to overcome this issue. If you in relationship then need to talk to your partner about this. That helps you to get a mind set. then futher need to consult a professional to this.

Located on the Bay of Bengal and crisscrossed by hundreds of rivers, Bangladesh bears the brunt of severe weather during its rainy season. When cyclones hit, villagers in coastal areas must struggle against powerful winds and neck-high, surging water to reach safety.
Through its local partner, Caritas Bangladesh, CRS responds to these emergencies with lifesaving aid. CRS helps survivors start over after storms, rebuilding homes and replacing lost assets such as rickshaws or cows so that people can earn a living. CRS-supported Disaster Risk Reduction programs prepare villagers to save their families and assets during future storms.
CRS also funds educational programs for disadvantaged Bangladeshi children, including those from tribal communities.

The winner of the FIRST EIZO FS2333 Monitor - Update
Posted 2012-08-08 Lexx
The winner of the FIRST EIZO FS2333 Monitor - Update
Update - The Winner of the contest
We are happy to announce that the winner of the contest is Srdjan Kosovic. We want to thank everyone for participating in the contest and showing their effort. We have really had a tough time picking up the winner. Srdjan, please contact me at email@example.com in order to claim your well deserved prize.
This is the work of a winner, however it's really unusual work, but we loved it and we wanted to share it with you guys. Here is a poem that our winner wrote:
Srdjan's Poem
Why does a poet want a top gaming monitor,
A window in the world of cutting edge technology?
I'll capture the sight like a professional photographer
And let you know why I deserve it with my words ferocity
I sit all day in front of my seventeen inch world
Trying to improve my Photoshop skills
Creating beauty in which all of my senses whirled
When I'm looking at the colors, my heart thrills
I feel excited, but I know that something is missing
A more-accurate color display and high image detail
And to become a pro it's necessary as breathing
Such qualities can't be found just anywhere in retail
Solution comes from the Land of the Rising Sun
EIZO, the name of perfection in the sphere of industry
Where their quality can be matched and their performance can't be outdone
When they are constantly shifting the boundary
But when the Sun sets and night comes
It's time to play some games
And I start to hear the beating of the war drums
It's time to focus, to sharpen my aim
Whether it's League of Legends
Or action-packed Counter Strike
It time to achieve greatness,
One Holy Grail that we all strive
Competitive gaming is my passion
And my vice is addiction of adrenaline rush
And the sound of "Victory!" is my anthem
And my dream is seeing my opponents crushed
My dream will come true
If I get this assassins weapon
With EcoView my eyes won't hurt
When I drain my opponent's life essence
Smart insight, unfair advantage?
Smart Resolution, eye of the eagle
When I prepare and ambush
And ace with a Deagle
You can't defeat what you can't see
They can run, they can hide
But with Smart Detection I will go on a killing spree
They can't escape an eye 23 inch wide
Why do I deserve the FIRST FORIS FS233
Among the others, who match my dedication?
Because It is all I need
As my passion and my inspiration
Featuring EIZO's all-new Smart Insight technology, the FORIS FS2333 brings out the details in dark areas like no other gaming monitor before it so you can spot your opponent before he spots you.
You can't defeat what you can't see. With that in mind, EIZO developed Smart Insight technology to vastly improve visibility in dark areas of the screen. With Smart Insight, you can see the vital details that would otherwise be hidden so you can surprise your opponent before he surprises you. Conventional gaming monitors apply gamma correction across the screen to improve visibility which results in blurring and reduced contrast in the dark areas, the FS2333's Smart Insight uses a technique called tone mapping which preserves the image details without reducing contrast. The difference is so significant that it's almost like an unfair advantage.
The FORIS FS2333 uses an IPS panel and a mercury-free LED backlight. The IPS panel offers vivid display of color and wide 178° viewing angles. Even when looking at the screen from an angle there's little change in the contrast or color. At 3.4 ms, it has the fastest response time of any IPS panel in its size so you get both deep color and smooth display of games and movies.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The world's most famous sled dog race is feeling squeezed by the poor economy.
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race says it has lost nearly $1 million in funding over the past year and that is forcing organizers to cut the prize money for the 2010 race by $100,000.
The Iditarod Trail Committee says in a press release that organizers are facing a reduction of $455,000 in revenues after losing a media partnership and two sponsorship deals in the past month.
Organizers lost another media sponsorship as well as a significant cut in sponsorship money in late 2008 that reduced coffers by $485,000.
That meant a $300,000 reduction in prize money for this year's race, down from $925,000 from the previous year.

A must to see in Whitehorse--wonderful displays and historical film is excellent . Children would learn a lot from a visit.
It was one of the exhibits that was still open. It was very interesting and informative. Price was right and there was a 30 minute show that was great. We enjoyed it very much
the video is a must watch before you tour the the Centre. It was so interesting to hear about the land bridge, Ice Age and the First Nations people. Highly recommend it to any one.
The centre was really informative and the people working at the centre were extremely generous in sharing their knowledge. Well worth the time to visit
During the last ice age the seas were dried up a bit and Beringia came into existence ...a land mass that joined North America and Russia without ice....various strange animals existed including the Yukon horse...and most disappeared but a few...like the arctic ground squirrel survived...intriguing history. The Yukon is full of mastodon fossils;bones and ivory tusks...who new?
Had a great tour by a very interesting and knowledgable tour guide. Knew his stuff and presented so we were interested and informed. Great visit.
So interesting! Very well done, informative, excellent movie. Bilingual service was outstanding. Merci beaucoup!
This centre was the highlight of our trip. Small but so informative. Guides so knowledgeable. Made our trip.
My family loved this place! My boys 8 and 4 were very interested in all of it! They also were able to craft their own atlatl!

Egg Mania is a two-player puzzle game where the object is to erect a building using Tetris-shaped pieces to save an egg from drowning. The screen is vertically split into two areas, one for the player and the other for the computer or a friend. Water gradually rises from the bottom of the screen, so players must quickly position pieces to build a sound foundation. A horizontal meter depicts the building's strength in eight increments from blue to red. If players build their structure top-heavy, for example, the meter will rise and the building may come crashing down into the water.
Once players reach the top of the vertically scrolling screen, the egg will jump into a hot air balloon and fly safely away. Play then resumes on a more challenging level where creatures either assist or hinder the building process. Some creatures (up to 30 are included) may take away building blocks, while others may offer invincible blocks. Nine different game modes are available, including an eight-person tournament, a two-player battle, and a single-player tutorial. Players can also unlock secret characters and modes by achieving top scores during competition. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (Magill's Literary Annual 1982)
From its beginnings in the nineteenth century, the American short story has always been more closely associated with lyric poetry than with its overgrown narrative neighbor, the novel. Regardless of whether short fiction clung to the legendary tale form of its ancestry (as in Nathaniel Hawthorne) or whether it moved toward the presentation of the single event (as in James Joyce) the form has always been a "much in little" proposition which conceals more than it reveals and leaves much unsaid.
There are two basic means by which the short story has pursued its movement away from the linearity of prose toward the spatiality of poetry—either by using the metaphoric and plurasignificative language of the poem or by radically limiting its selection of the presented event. The result has been two completely different textures in short fiction—the former characterized by such writers as Eudora Welty in the 1940's and 1950's and Bernard Malamud in the 1960's and 1970's, whose styles are thick with metaphor and myth, and the latter characterized by such writers as Ernest Hemingway in the 1920's and 1930's and Raymond Carver in the 1970's and 1980's, whose styles are thin to the point of disappearing.
Carver's first collection of stories, Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?, published in 1976 and nominated for a National...

Style and Technique (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
Carver's strong reliance on dialogue gives readers a sense of immediacy. This immediacy is as deceptive and illusory as the definition of love is for the characters. The story, after all, comes to the reader secondhand; moreover, the story is modeled on a fiction that concerns itself with the truth. The emotional escalation of a conversation, masterfully rendered, emphasizes the urgency of the human needs to love and be loved. The conversation shows that conversation is the medium through which love continually eludes those who would capture it and define it.
Many critics refer to Carver's writing style as "minimalist." He did not particularly like the term, given its connotations of smallness and inadequacy. Whether or not one assigns such a label or quibbles about how it should be defined, there is no question that each character is drawn sparingly, although with the essential details. For example, although Mel's drunken torpidity increases as the story develops, readers are also aware that Mel is a surgeon, and that "when he was sober, his gestures, all his movements, were precise, very careful." This observation is essential to establishing the significance of Mel's behavior during the conversation about love. A favorable definition of minimalist writing is that in it there is nothing extraneous—such a definition applies to Carver's stories.

Historical Context
John Gardner
John Gardner (1933–1982), an American novelist and poet, was one of Carver's first writing teachers. Gardner is perhaps best known for his novel Grendel (1971), which is a retelling of the traditional Beowulf story from the perspective of the monster. His novel October Light (1976) won the National Book Critics Circle Award. Gardner was also a critic, and wrote two books aimed at aspiring writers: On Becoming a Novelist (1983) and The Art of Fiction (1984), both published after his death.
John Cheever
John Cheever (1912–1982) was a close friend of Carver, as well as his colleague and fellow fiction writer. In contrast to Carver, whose stories centered on the working poor, Cheever, a novelist and short story writer, was known for his middle-class suburban settings and characters. Among his best known works are The Enormous Radio and Other Stories (1953), The Wapshot Chronicle (1957), his first novel, which won a National Book Award, and The Stories of John Cheever (1978), which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Because of his clear prose style and ability to capture the social milieu of suburban America, critics have dubbed him ''the Chekhov of the suburbs.''
Robert Altman...

Literary Style
The story is told from the first-person restricted point-of-view. The narrator, Nick, describes the interactions between the two couples only from his own perspective. Nick portrays his relationship with his wife, Linda, in glowing terms, full of warmth, affection, and mutual respect. Given the atmosphere of the story, and the tone of the conversation, however, the reader is invited to speculate if perhaps Nick's idealized perception of his marriage may eventually develop the tone of ''benign menace'' characterized by the relationship between Mel and Terri. Because the story is related in the past tense, the narrator suggests a feeling of nostalgia on Nick's part, for this early period of his marriage.
Setting: ''Carver Country''
The story is set around the kitchen table of the McGinnis', in Albuquerque, New Mexico although the narrator explains that ''we were all from somewhere else.'' This is significant in that many critics agree Carver's settings are not regionally specific, but that his characters and the lives they lead describe a specific segment of white, working-class American life many have dubbed ''Carver Country.'' Carver's widow, the writer Tess Gallagher, has edited a book entitled Carver Country, which includes photographs that capture the flavor of ''Carver Country,'' accompanied by excerpts from Carver's letters, stories,...
(The entire section is 525 words.)
Literary Techniques
"A Serious Talk" can conveniently illustrate fictional techniques common to many stories in the collection. Odd touches of comedy punctuate the story: the estranged husband drinking cranapple juice with his vodka because his wife has no other mixers; the husband's surreptitious cutting of the telephone cord while his wife talks to her new lover; and his dropping a pie in the driveway as he attempts to balance a stack of them on his arm when he leaves. (He had stolen the pies which were to serve as dessert for the Christmas dinner to which he had not been invited.)
Besides comic touches, one frequently finds in this story both symbolism and irony. Irony inheres in the husband's causing his wife and family to respond directly contrary to what he had intended and hoped for. Irony inheres also in his belief that he had accomplished something positive by going home. Symbolic details include the overgrown weeds in his wife's yard and the burnt out pilot light on the stove. The neglect of her house and property suggests her state of torpor and inertia. The ashtray with which the story ends is an emblem of the husband's inarticulateness, his frustration, and his lost hope.
An additional important technical feature of Carver's stories is their finely turned dialogue, which carries the action and bears thematic implications. Carver's dialogue sharply reflects his characters' states of mind. Throughout the stories, the characters talk endlessly. For all...
(The entire section is 321 words.)
Social Concerns
Carver's stories exhibit little concern with social issues. The stories do not specifically focus on matters of class or race, and they generally avoid large-scale issues of social significance. Instead, they consistently depict characters whose lives reflect the loss of stability formerly provided by the traditional values associated with religion and family life. The world of the stories shares features with the world of absurdist drama, while differing from it in an important way. Like the absurdist writers, Carver's stories portray human beings as irrational and pathetic, helpless against life's chaos and inexorability. Dispossessed of religious conviction, cut off from history, and alienated from the natural environment, Carver's characters are often unable to understand themselves or to communicate with others. Unlike the surrealistic tendencies of many absurdist writers, however, Carver hews closely to a strict literary realism, incisive in its spareness and understatement.
(The entire section is 143 words.)
Compare and Contrast
1960s–1970s: The dominant trend in fiction is in the style of experimental, ''postmodern'' writing. The American short story is considered to be at a low point.
1990s: Carver's turn to ''neo-realist'' subjectmatter, written in a ''minimalist'' style, which goes against the grain of postmodern fiction, is credited with both revitalizing the genre of the American short story, and inspiring a generation of writer's attempting to imitate his minimalist style. Because of the large number of Carver imitators, however, a backlash against minimalist writing soon follows. Carver's entire oeuvre is now seen in a broader perspective, and Carver is indisputably recognized as the foremost American short fiction writer of his generation.
1960s–1970s: While Carver's story, published in 1982, focuses on the theme of domestic violence, the term itself is not mentioned. The battered women's movement, which begins in the early-to-mid-1970s, grows out of feminist efforts at anti-rape legislation. Early efforts to help battered women include providing safe refuge for women and children escaping abusive situations, and lobbying efforts to protect women from abuse.
1990s: The awareness of the problem of battered women grows throughout the 1980s and 1990s: there is increased funding for and availability of battered women's shelters, increased...

Topics for Further Study
While he consistently disclaimed the label, Carver's writing style, particularly in the stories of the collection What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, is consistently referred to by critics in terms of ''minimalism.'' The term minimalism has also been used to describe stylistic trends in both art and music. Find out more about minimalism in either art or music and pick a minimalist artist in either of these mediums to learn more about. How does the minimalist style of Carver's story translate into the medium of the artist or composer you have chosen?
Carver has often cited the nineteenth-century short story writer and playwright Anton Chekhov as one of the greatest influences on his own writing. Read a short story by Chekhov. In what ways does Carver's writing style seem to draw from that of Chekhov? In what ways is Carver's style markedly different from Chekhov's?
A central focus of the discussion between the four characters in Carver's story is on the abusive behavior of Terri's former husband, Ed. Find out more about the prevalence and conditions of domestic violence today. What resources are available to battered women in your town, county, or state? What laws exist at the local, state, or national level to protect battered women? What are some of the difficulties faced by battered women in trying to leave an abusive relationship?

Literary Precedents
Ernest Hemingway is the ghost behind this collection of stories. Their spare, taut style, heavily implicative dialogue, and general toughness of vision indebt Carver to the modern master. Invoked implicitly also is Anton Chekhov, whose stories often depict moments of loss, separation, and grief in the lives of ordinary people. Like Chekhov's stories, Carver's are often unresolved. Both writers avoid neat, tidy conclusions that simplify and distort the complexity of experience. Like Chekhov's stories, too, Carver's display compassion for the characters.
Carver's stories generally adhere to a set of artistic guidelines he summarized in a Paris Review interview. First, he believes that a writer should get in and out of the story quickly, without wasting words. He quotes Isaac Babel approvingly: "No iron can pierce the heart with such force as a period put just at the right place." Second, he believes strongly in accuracy, in telling the truth and in falsifying nothing. He quotes Ezra Pound in support: "fundamental accuracy of statement is the ONE sole morality of writing." And third, Carver thinks it necessary that a story include a sense of threat or menace. His stories possess this quality in just enough proportion to create tension.

Media Adaptations
A collection of Carver's short stories was adapted to the screen and made into a composite narrative film entitled Short Cuts (1993), directed by Robert Altman.
(The entire section is 26 words.)
What Do I Read Next?
Will You Please Be Quiet, Please? (1976) is Carver's first major collection of short stories. It includes works developed over a period of fourteen years.
What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (1981) is Carver's second major short story collection. It is considered to be the epitome of Carver's ''minimalist'' style.
Cathedral (1984) is collection of short stories considered Carver's masterpiece. The title story, ''Cathedral'' is recognized as Carver's best.
Where I'm Calling From: New and Selected Stories (1988) is Carver's fourth major collection of short stories. It includes revised versions of previously published stories.
Carver Country: The World of Raymond Carver (1990), with photographs by Bob Adelman, is a posthumously published collection of photographs that capture the flavor of the struggling working class world depicted in most of Carver's stories. It includes an introduction by his widowed wife, the poet Tess Gallagher, and excerpts from letters, poems, and stories by Carver.
Remembering Ray: A Composite Biography of Raymond Carver (1993), edited by William L. Stull and Maureen P. Carroll, is a collection of essays by friends and fellow writers close to Carver, describing their experiences with him. The book is...

You can watch Brendan anchoring 7&4 News on Saturday and Sunday nights and reporting during the week.
It was the second day of a three day conference and officials from Newtown, Connecticut were the featured speakers at the event.
ISABELLA COUNTY -- School officials, educators and police officers from across Michigan met Wednesday in Mt. Pleasant to focus on keeping kids safe.
When Newtown school superintendent Dr. Janet Robinson first heard the news about the school shooting, she, like many others, was in shock.
"Then when the reality hits that this horrible, unthinkable thing happened in such a beautiful little primary school, it's overwhelming," said Dr. Robinson.
The relationship between Newtown schools and law enforcement helped not only on that tragic December day, but in the months following the shooting.
"The fact that we had done so many things together with the chief of police, the captain of the police department; we know them... we could talk to them formally not just that day but for the last six months. That's been a very valuable relationship," said Dr. Robinson.
For that very reason Dr. Robinson and Lieutenant Richard Robinson traveled to Mt. Pleasant to share their message.
"There are some lessons that can be learned in what law enforcement does and how we do them but in general it's preparation; making sure that you have everything set before hand so that when an incident occurs you go right to that playbook, and that's what we really want to share with everybody," said Lieutenant Richard Robinson, Newtown Department of Police Services.
School Safety Consultant Ken Trump is scheduled to speak on Thursday and advises schools to practice drills at all times of the school day.
"We're going to be stressing taking a look at not only doing drills but diversifying your drills. Don't do anything that's convenient for the adults at 9-10 in the morning but to do it at lunch time where it's confusion and chaos," said Trump.
Preparing for a school emergency is critical but making children comfortable in their classroom is something officials are keeping in mind.
"We still want children to be children. We don't want to have them feel they must be in fortresses. We want them to enjoy their childhood," said Dr. Robinson.
The conference is sponsored by Schools Educators and Police Liaison Association (SEPLA), a non-profit organization.
