Sarah McLachlan's angelic voice is reason enough to check out this new album. It's certainly not to hear anything particularly new: Afterglow was just more of what Sarah does so well. The most powerful segments of the album arrived early on, with the more up-tempo material providing more reason for returning repeatedly, as the ballads often came across less meaningful and with less impact than would be expected. The production is what enticed me immediately — deep and dramatic with strong vocals over a driving rhythm section powered by her husband, drummer Ashwin Sood, and emotive basslines from the man, Tony Levin. Unfortunately, many songs are marred by whispy, distracting electronic noises that are entirely unnecessary and sound like a desperate attempt to make the music sound more modern. The result, sadly, is that some songs simply sound more new-age oriented.

San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - The San Diego Chargers released injured kicker Nate Kaeding on Tuesday.
Kaeding appeared in San Diego's first three games this season, connecting on all seven of his field goal attempts and six extra points, but then suffered a groin injury and was placed on injured reserve last week.
The two-time Pro Bowler has spent his entire nine-year career with the Chargers after the team drafted him in the third round of the 2004 draft.
He has made 180-of-207 career field goal attempts and 349-of-351 extra points.

Behind the stripes
By Erin Mathews Salina Journal | Friday, March 21, 2014 2:00 AM
In the "officials only" lounge following the first game Thursday at the NJCAA Division I Women's National Championship, referee Tracy Mulligan pulled the pedometer off of her ankle and found out she'd covered about 4 miles in about 5,500 steps while officiating Trinity Valley's 94-63 win over Northwest Florida State.
In the "officials only" lounge following the first game Thursday at the NJCAA Division I Women's National Championship, referee Tracy Mulligan pulled the pedometer off of her ankle and found out she'd covered about 4 miles in about 5,500 steps while officiating Trinity Valley's 94-63 win over Northwest Florida State.
"Yesterday, it was 12.5 miles," said the Columbia, Mo., referee, who had worked two games the day before in her first appearance at the tournament being held this week at the Salina Bicentennial Center.
Although it's the athleticism of the junior college women players that usually draws the crowd's attention, the 15 referees who came from all over the country to ensure fair play during the basketball tournament are no couch potatoes, either.
Giving back
Referee Kevin Britt, of Petal, Miss., said he traveled to Salina for his second year and donned his black-and-white-striped uniform because he loves the game.
"I played, and I'm giving back to the kids," he said. "For me, it's not about the coach or the fans, it's about the players that are there to play. If you don't have players, you don't have a game. I'm there for the kids."
Britt, who works as an elementary school principal, also has officiated for 24 years. He said he finds it an enjoyable way to stay fit.
Working the game Referee Donovan Briggans, of Denver, works as a real estate broker when he's not on the court.He said he got started refereeing when he was approached to officiate at youth sports. He said the first games he worked involved fourth-grade girls, and he never really imagined he'd be officiating at the junior college championship level one day.
"Basketball is basketball for us," Briggans said. "It's just, 'Go work the game.' You don't know what you're going to get, but you have to be ready for whatever. It's just focusing on one play at a time."
No 'ticky-tack'
Troy Olson, a native Salinan, who recommended Britt, Briggans and Mulligan be part of the tournament's officiating crew, said during a postgame review that he was happy with their performance. The same crew would later officiate the game between Butler Community College and Chipola (Florida) that evening.
"Everything was great," said Olson, supervisor of officials for the tournament. "There wasn't any ticky-tack stuff."
Olson, of Miltonvale, is in his 12th year of supervising officials for the tournament. He knows what it's like to wear the uniform and run the court, having spent 26 years officiating basketball and football, when not working as a professional surveyor.
Mentally tiring
"It's not only physically tiring, it's very mentally tiring," Olson said. "You have to make a decision in a split second. Did she get fouled or did she not get fouled?"
Olson learned the basics of officiating from his father, a 46-year veteran of the black-and-white stripes. He's honed his skills at officiating camps through the years.
"I remember going with my dad when I was real little, and I had my own bag and put on my own shirt and sat at the scorer's table," he said. "You have to throw on the shirt and grab a whistle and get out there and see what it's like."
He said he started officiating YMCA games while in high school and became a registered referee while attending college.
Caring for refs
At the Division I National Championship, Olson doesn't act as a referee. His function is to "observe, critique, coordinate and take care of" those who do, and plenty of referees want to work the tournament in Salina. Olson said he's been contacted by Division II and Division III supervisors who want to know how the Salina tournament gained its reputation for taking care of its refs.
Special treatment
Olson said he arranges for special restaurant deals for tournament officials and makes sure they can utilize YMCA facilities. If their uniforms need dry cleaning, he takes care of it. Olson said the officials' hotel rooms are paid for and they are paid a fee for each game, but they cover their own travel expenses.
"It's more than just, 'Here are your games at 1, 3 and 8. Go work your games, and I'll see you tomorrow,'" he said. "No, I'm here for them all week long."
Assigning games
Olson said that if a coach were to ask to talk to an official, the coach would talk to him first. He said that in his years of involvement with the tournament, that has only happened once.
Olson assigns officials for each game, which can get tricky as the 24-team, single-elimination tournament progresses. No one officiating a game can come from the same region as a team that is playing, and Olson strives to not assign the same official to the same team more than twice. He also tries to ensure that each referee officiates the same number of games.
Thick skin
What makes a good official? Thick skin, Olson said.
Even with efforts to ensure impartiality, fans find reasons to suspect a ref isn't giving their team a fair shake. Yelling at the referee becomes part of watching the game for some.
"It can be a very thankless job at times because you're always under the microscope," Olson said.
"We do it because we love it. When you love something, it doesn't matter what others say and what other people think. If you know each night you've gone out and you've worked the best game you could possibly work and it's been fair for both teams, hey, you can drive home happy."
Unbiased refs
Olson said that despite what fans think, referees don't care which team wins.
"We're here so that they can play, because if we weren't here, how would they play?" he said. "They wouldn't."
As if on cue, some Trinity Valley fans sitting behind Olson started protesting a referee's call during Thursday afternoon's game. They probably didn't know they were sitting behind the supervisor of officials until he went to talk to one.
The woman expressed concern about referees talking to a coach and then making calls that seem to favor that coach's team.
"Let me ask you this, is it even a concern when you're up almost 30 points?" Olson asked her.
"Not really," she responded. "As far as our girls are concerned, when they get to that team, they know they're going to have to play that team and the refs, too, for the most part, and they just do what they're here to do."
Start at 100
Olson said he learned from his father that officiating is the only job in which you are expected to start at 100 percent and get better as the game goes along.
"Even though they're up 30 points, they still want us to do better," he said. "The fans pay their money, and they're allowed to cheer and voice their frustrations and disagreements, and that's fine. We understand that. But people don't understand that this is something we don't do for the money. We do it because we love the game."

I don't know if it would work, but it is not "legit." There are two kinds of Wndows licenses, OEM licenses that are tied to a specific computer and "retail" licenses that can legally be moved from one computer to another. There is a significant price difference between the two types.

Company does not promote from within, Calling the upper management plantation supervisors is on the mild side. Unless you know somebody in the upper echelon you will find yourself working 80+ instead of the contracted 50hours salary.
the company has no real competition, it found a niche that will allow it to grow and expand until it bumps into the market of more serious gas station / convenience chains, and those are 900 miles away from north east.
The upper management is well anchored in the banking / petroleum world so access to money and oil is pretty much a given.
Upper management know how to talk, applying that talk company wide falls on mid level management though so all those nice words get different meaning by the time they reach store level.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Base your decisions on performance.
Upper management has no real feedback from store level, mid management is all a bunch the got rapid advancement during last overhaul of the company 15-20 years ago, playing poker with them on the weekends is more important that achieving your goals, getting even a lateral move is subject to mid level management approval. Labor budgets are more a factor who you know than what the store sells, etc, etc, etcPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEO

I can't say I remember as well the assumed sexual relationship in How We Live Now, but I read that even longer ago.

When I was a young reader, I know that I would often fail to see the sex in stories. I was so innocent (even as a young teen) that I assumed there was never anything more than kissing! When I went back and reread some of those books as an adult, I was amused by how much I had missed on a first reading!

And yes, I am going to take your advice and write the story as it comes out of my brain. There will be plenty of time to edit later on.Amyhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593664.post-17824005694703287132014-10-21T09:50:43.562-04:002014-10-21T09:50:43.562-04:00Thinking more about this, I realized what's mi...Thinking more about this, I realized what's missing from the discussion. It's not that YA books lack darkness - or sex, for that matter. It's how those themes are handled.

Since you've read The Book Thief, that's a great example. Some things happen "off stage," to speak, implied but not written in graphic detail. The imagining of Death itself can be seen as a device to keep the most disturbing action implied but not explicit.

The sex in How I Live Now is another good example. The main character does (we assume) have sex. But the focus is on her emotions, her love for and obsession with the other person. The sex is implied and assumed but not explicit.

I still think you shouldn't worry about any of this yet, and just write the book that you write. But this might give you a better idea of the YA sensibility.laura khttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593664.post-32809814926547714192014-10-20T20:35:54.547-04:002014-10-20T20:35:54.547-04:00Teen narrator, teen point of view.

That's quite the introductory comment.

I do prefer lower case titles. But as you can see, I use upper case letters in the usual fashion for everything else.

First of all, write the book that's inside you and don't worry about the market. Books that are written for markets may succeed as products but often fail as books.

Those were not the books that Graham was talking about. She was talking specifically about some very popular teen reads.

But YA can be literature! I was naming some classic lit that is also very much YA.

Anyone who tells you that YA cannot be too dark or too long is not qualified to give advice on the field.

But no matter what advice you get, there is no substitute for your own research. Read some!

I never knew my writing was YA until a writing teacher in university told me it was. My fiction writing is just naturally YA or tween. If yours is, it is. If it's not, don't give it another thought. Just write what you write. You are way too early in the process to be concerned with such things, IMO.

It's a classic, but it's completely unlike what's being published now.

It was not marketed to teens at the time. I was in 6th grade and it was offered through the Scholastic book program for 5th and 6th graders.

I never read it as a teen. Since it was written in 1967 when I was a teen, I am not sure why. Maybe it wasn't as well known back then? I would have been in high school---maybe it was too young for me?

But now I will read it---unless you have a better suggestion.Amyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593664.post-44912528089916306392014-10-20T18:43:59.997-04:002014-10-20T18:43:59.997-04:00My main character right now is a sixteen year old ...My main character right now is a sixteen year old male. I would say I am targeting teens---12 and up. I originally thought more 10-13, but as I write, I see that it's more for real teenagers. These things take on a life of their own!

Someone suggested to me that young adult books should not have long chapters (or be too long overall). She also was concerned about content that is too dark. I was thinking I should read a few young adult novels to get a sense of these things. Do you have a good suggestion? (Maybe I should go read your next post!)

I would never have defined Catcher in the Rye or Huck Finn as YA because both are such classics and considered literature, even taught in college classes. But if that's what Graham was talking about, she really had her head wedged. She couldn't possibly think that adults shouldn't read these books, could she?Amyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593664.post-21743549253378553482014-10-20T18:32:08.692-04:002014-10-20T18:32:08.692-04:00reading for pleasure is one of civilization's ...reading for pleasure is one of civilization's greatest gifts.

Catcher in the Rye is arguably the first YA novel. Many other general-fiction novels are like that - my favourite example is To Kill A Mockingbird.

What distinguishes YA. It is most definitely not "nothing too dark, nothing too sad, nothing too sexy". The most popular youth novel on the planet right now is incredibly sad and quite sexy.

Sexual content is never explicit, but characters do have sex, which is one thing that distinguishes youth lit from children's lit.

Length is not a consideration at all. There are many very long youth novels and children's novels.

All youth novels will have a teen main character and be told from a teen's point of view. (As I write that, I can imagine industrious readers digging up exceptions. There are always exceptions, but in this case, they would be... exceptional. Rare.)

I should mention, too, that if you're thinking of middle-school readers, that is probably not youth, it's probably children's - "tween" reads, like Rick Riordan. laura khttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593664.post-69714230778553133412014-10-20T17:50:13.612-04:002014-10-20T17:50:13.612-04:00I have always believed that people---children, tee...I have always believed that people---children, teens, adults---should read whatever interests them. I don't care if it's a classic, a comic, a trashy magazine, a math text---reading for pleasure is one of civilization's greatest gifts. I never told my kids what to read; I just prayed they would like reading.

How does one even define YA literature? Is Catcher in the Rye YA? Is A Separate Peace? Is Huckleberry Finn? Is it something about the age of the characters? Or is it about vocabulary? Or is it about content---nothing too dark, nothing too sad, nothing to sexy?

As you know, I now have a particular interest in this question as I am in the process of writing a book that I think of as being for young adults, but then I wonder---is it too long? Why not make it an adult book---what is the difference? Is there a magic line that defines what makes something YA?Amyhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593664.post-66918259980991782492014-10-20T16:46:55.271-04:002014-10-20T16:46:55.271-04:00Nice.

Napowan performs on Saturday night. Great set.
I get tired just thinking about how much work and time went into this.
Moderately successful indie rock groups like Grizzly Bear have found it difficult to earn a living that would place them solidly in the middle class:
For much of the late-twentieth century, you might have assumed that musicians with a top-twenty sales week and a Radio City show—say, the U2 tour in 1984, after The Unforgettable Fire—made at least as much as their dentists. Those days are long and irretrievably gone, but some of the mental habits linger. 'People probably have an inflated idea of what we make,' says Droste. 'Bands appear so much bigger than they really are now, because no one's buying records. But they'll go to giant shows.' Grizzly Bear tours for the bulk of its income, like most bands; licensing a song might provide each member with 'a nice little "Yay, I don't have to pay rent for two months." ' They don't all have health insurance. Droste's covered via his husband, Chad, an interior designer; they live in the same 450-square-foot Williamsburg apartment he occupied before Yellow House. When the band tours, it can afford a bus, an extra keyboard player, and sound and lighting engineers. (That U2 tour had a wardrobe manager.) After covering expenses like recording, publicity, and all the other machinery of a successful act ('Agents, lawyers, tour managers, the merch girl, the venues take a merch cut; Ticketmaster takes their cut; the manager gets a percentage; publishers get a percentage'), Grizzly Bear's members bring home … well, they'd rather not get into it. 'I just think it's inappropriate,' says Droste. 'Obviously we're surviving. Some of us have health insurance, some of us don't, we basically all live in the same places, no one's renting private jets. Come to your own conclusions.'

We got a show coming up! The Alaska Tapes Fall show - newly formed Napowan and We/Or/Me will be playing music, Liza Mitchell will be showing her amazing photography, Angela Malo and Luthando Mazibuko will be showing recent paintings, and Alan Hatchett will show an excerpt from and discuss a recent movie he edited, The Beat Hotel. Plus it's all hosted at Curt's Cafe in Evanston with a full service cafe, a pizza place that's part of a training program for at-risk youth, big fluffy couches and even a kids area. How does it get better than that? I'll tell you - it doesn't.

Crustless Ginger Cheesecake with Lime-Sour Cream Topping
- Yield 12 servings
- Prep 2 hours 45 minutes
- Cook 20 minutes
- 20 ounces (2 1/2 eight-ounce packages) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup granular sugar substitute
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 large eggs
- 3 large egg yolks
- Topping
- 1 1/4 cups sour cream
- 2 tablespoons granular sugar substitute
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated lime zest
Heat oven to 350°F. Line bottom of a 10-inch springform pan with parchment or wax paper. Wrap outside of pan tightly with aluminum foil.
For the cheesecake, combine cream cheese, sugar substitute, vanilla, and ginger in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. One at a time, add eggs and egg yolks, beating on low speed until combined. Transfer to springform pan. Set springform pan into a roasting pan; carefully pour in hot water to reach 1 inch up the side of the springform pan. Bake until just set in the center, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, for the topping: combine sour cream, sugar substitute, and lime zest in a bowl; set aside.
When cheesecake is just set, spread sour cream mixture evenly on top. Bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 1 1/2 hours before serving.
Cold temperatures can mute flavors. Let the chilled cheesecake come to room temperature before serving to bring out the most flavor. Baking the cheesecake in a pan of water insulates it and helps to diffuse the heat, so it cooks evenly. If you don't have a springform pan, use a pie plate—it's easier to remove cheesecake from a pan with sloping sides than one with straight sides.

We have three spectacular marathons to choose from, including our signature event: *The* Lake Tahoe Marathon.
Arguably the most beautiful marathon in the world, the Lake Tahoe Marathon takes you from Tahoe City (North Shore) to Pope Beach (South Shore) - caressing the West Shore of the Lake along the route. The first 12 miles are surprisingly flat and fast. At mile 12 you hit the first of three climbs (Cat 5 climb) which will take you to Rubicon Bay where the Half Marathon runners will be eagerly waiting. You can pick up the pace with your new running buddies and enjoy a 200 ft descent before ascending up to DL Bliss State Park (Cat 4 climb).
Reprieve is found in the downhill cruise with emerging views of Vikingsholm Castle and Fanette Island in the world-famous Emerald Bay. As you pass Eagle Falls you'll begin your second (and last!) climb of the day up to Inspiration Point (Cat 5 climb). It's literally all downhill from here - dropping an average of 100 feet per mile for the last six miles as you meander past Cascade Lake, Fallen Leaf Lake and onto the Forest Bike Path that will lead you through the historical sites of Valhalla and Camp Richardson along your way to the beach front finish at Pope Beach.
Altitude? Yeah we've got that. But it's nothing proper training (read: Lactate Threshold Training, Speed Work, HIIT) and/or getting up here a few days ahead of time can't conquer. Plus, isn't this why we run? The challenge? The fitness? The elation? That's what we thought. We'll see you in September.
The Emerald Bay Marathon starts at Inspiration Point above Emerald Bay and finishes just below Spooner Summit. This run starts at 6850 ft and drops 500 feet in the first three miles. The middle section of the course is relatively flat and will take you through historic Tahoe sites and hidden areas of South Lake Tahoe. After crossing into Nevada, you'll soon begin to "enjoy" some rolley terrain (up and down about 100 ft at a time) until mile 22. Take a deep breath now because you get to pay back that downhill start with an uphill finish. You'll gain back ~700 ft of elevation in the last four miles (cat 3 climb) with an elevation gain of 1657 ft to end at 7067 ft.
The Saturday Cal-Neva Marathon is the fastest of the 3 marathons with a start high atop Spooner summit at 7100' and then diving down almost a 1000ft in the first eight miles! Continue the ride with six miles flat road before hitting your first hill at mile 14. At mile 22.5 you'll have the second climb (both climbs are ~200 ft across one mile (cat 5 climbs)) and then it's literally downhill to the finish at Commons Beach in Tahoe City. Not only is this run gravity-assisted (net elevation loss over 1000 ft) you will enjoy the amazing East Shore and North Shore Views throughout the entire run.

The Cougs are racking up better pre-season accolades than in any previous season in recent memory, now with three Washington State nominees up for national awards by the end of the season. All are seniors.
Deone Bucannon is up for the Jim Thorpe Award, given annually to the nation's best defensive back. Bucannon has been a solid and ever improving free safety in Washington State's system and seems to make every other play. It's not typically ideal to have a safety making the most tackles on your team, it's nice to have a guy who can make them back there. With 106 tackles last season, he became the first Cougar in six years to record triple digit tackles (Eric Frampton had 100 stops in 2006). It was also the most tackles by any Cougar since 1996 when James Darling tallied up 136. Notice the difference in when a linebacker makes those stops vs a safety? Yeah, wins.
Mike Bowlin was put up for the Ray Guy Award, given to the nation's best punter while Andrew Furney is up for the Lou Groza College Place-Kicker Award for the second straight season. I've already touched on how much damage these two specialists could do in my defined expectations.
I think Furney has the best opportunity to win his award. Bowlin will need to be more consistent then he was last season and Bucannon will need the help of his teammates in the form of 8 or more wins to get the recognition he needs to be able to win it.

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
Nearly 100 entrants from 28 different countries answered the call by industry leaders: feasible ideas that can solve real problems within the hotel industry in the next 3-4 years. Design professionals and students put their proposals forward, and just four ideas have been shortlisted for the Radical Innovation in Hospitality Award.
Two professional entries were selected as finalists by Radical Innovation's jury. These finalists will present their concepts in front of a live audience in Las Vegas on May 15, 2014, during the HD Expo.
"For the last eight years, we've challenged the hotel industry to rethink the guest experience. This year, our concepts offer new solutions that are on the leading edge of change," said John Hardy, CEO of The John Hardy Group and founder of the global Radical Innovation Competition. "To present these concepts in their best light, our jury members will team up with the finalists before they take the stage in Las Vegas, sharpening their ideas and their potential impact."
All submissions were selected by: Michael Medzigian, chairman/managing partner, Watermark Capital Partners; Jena Thornton, managing director, Eagle Rock Ventures; Simon Turner, president, global development, Starwood Hotels; James Woods, president and COO, The Bowls; Wing Chao, renowned master planner, architect and designer, and John Hardy, CEO, The John Hardy Group. The event will be moderated by Claude Amar, president, The John Hardy Group International.
New Format
In the weeks leading up to the Radical Innovation live event, the jury will be split into two teams of three. Through feasibility analysis and presentation coaching, the jury will prepare their team to present their concept live, in front of the opposing jury members and a live audience, challenging them to make a case for future development of the concept. A live vote will be placed for the best concept development strategy, and the grand-prize winner will receive $10,000 in seed money for the project.

YOUTH VOLUNTEERISM CELEBRATED IN BHUTANWritten by Cristina
- font size decrease font size increase font size
International Volunteer Day was celebrated after a few years of pause in Bhutan, at the Clock Tower Square in the capital Thimphu. In addition to general audience passing by - the square being situated next to the main shopping road of the capital - IVD gathered around invited 150 guests during the day, representing different sections of the society from youth groups and civil society organizations to government officials, international organizations and volunteers. Two local young volunteers hosted the event as MCs, both in English and Dzongkha.
The main speakers of the opening event were UN Resident Coordinator, Ms Christina Carlson and JICA Chief Representative, Ms Yumiko Asakuma. Additionally, volunteer testimonies were given by Mr Kencho Dorji (Go Youth Go, local youth-led informal organization), Ms Janese Boots (Australian Volunteers for International Development program), and Ms Sangay Chezom (Bhutan Youth Foundation), sharing their experiences as volunteers in Bhutan. Spectators had the opportunity to sign up as volunteers, as well as to write on a wall what volunteerism means for them.
One of the highlights of the day was the first ever "flash mob" organized in Bhutan, around 50 international and Bhutanese volunteers dancing together to a rehearsed choreography, with the vocalist singing her song live.
IVD was noted in most national media, including the Bhutan Broadcasting Service with an insert in the main television news followed by discussion panel on "Volunteerism in Bhutan" both in English and Dzongkha.
To commemorate the day, we searched for Bhutanese volunteers' stories where people's creativity and compassion in volunteerism had led to positive change. The short documentary film with two of these stories is now available online (click here).
IVD programme was largely organized by youth volunteers from different youth-led and volunteer involving organizations in cooperation with the Department of Youth and Sports in the Ministry of Education. The event was coordinated by UNV, and supported by Australian Government's Australian Volunteers for International Development (AVID) program and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

Book Description:
Lying face down on the floor with a gun to the back of his head is where Alex McKnight finds himself after a game of cards turns into a professional heist at the home of local developer Win Vargas. When the dust settles, McKnight is one of police chief Roy Maven's lead suspects. Worse, Vargas's own sense of vigilante justice has targeted the former private eye as well, and the brash millionaire may be responsible for the sudden disappearance of Alex's best friend Jackie. Now, with officials pointed in the wrong direction and his closest allies either missing or in jail, Alex knows he is the only one who can uncover the truth. But McKnight can't possibly know how dark this conspiracy truly is – or how close to guilt he actually stands… "Agreeable plot twists (the revelation of whodunit really is a surprise) and thoughtfully engages some larger questions about wilderness real estate developments and the limits of friendship." – Washington Post

What you're saying is not reflected in the promos that The Rock is cutting. He's been saying that he knows how good Punk is, that he's a record breaker and deserves to call himself the best in the world. He hasn't focused at all on how Punk beat Ryback in those matches, which is understandable since what The Rock is doing is a much better story line where both guys get hyped going into the match.
And Punk hasn't been constantly cheating until Ryback came along. When he had his feud with Cena as a heel he was kicking out of finishers more than once per match and really taking him to his limits (the tally was one draw and one clean win in the triple threat). Also note how his first match during the Rock feud had Punk make his opponent tap out cleanly, just because this is a different kind of story where Punk again isn't completely without competence. And even when he did cheat, like against Sheamus on Main Event, he did it on his own by being smart in the ring and not by not being able to do anything on his own like with Ryback.
So the Ryback feud stands out in how Punk was booked. For me it does in a very negative way.
He's a bad guy. If Punk gets a clean win over a main eventer, it would make him a monster heel like Big Show or Mark Henry (or Brock Lesnar yrs ago). Cheating is what villains do. He's a villain. They try to get us to boo him. That's how its worked for at least 20 yrs. The reason the Ryback rivalry was when it started is because he slowly transitioned to heel, it wasn't overnight. HIAC, Survivor Series, than the Jan. 6 RAW, he cheated. And THAT NIGHT kicked off his rivalry with the Rock, not the next wk's episode.

The exterior
The interior
All Saints Church has its origins around the time of the Domesday Book.
The Church website has a fascinating document you can download which explains a little of the history and architecture of this surprisingly light and spacious building.
From the Christchurch area, seek out the Lymington Road (A337) and at Everton turn right onto the B3058 (also Lymington Road), then proceed as below...
From the north and east, leave the A31/M27 at Cadnam, where the A31 becomes the M27, and head for Lyndhurst. Follow the signs to Brockenhurst and continue on the A337 as it skirts round the town centre at Lymington. At Everton, turn left onto the B3058 (Lymington Road)
Just before you arrive at Milford, there is a right turn into Church Hill. Just after passing the Church on your right, bear right into Greenbanks Close and park at the Church Hall.
The nearest stations are Lymington Town (which is 3.5 miles away to the east) and New Milton (which is 3.7 miles away to the west).
Click for a street map that you can print.
The postcode is SO41 0SQ
The building has level access. There are disabled toilets in the adjacent Church Hall.

It's spring, bound and trussed: Crumple it.
The things we first scream across the earth
got printed and plastered on the April breeze
Raise your glass higher
or fold it between the hiss of champagne bubbles
The bills blow by:
Toss it in the trash.
But this blaze followed by flurries of ash hands you your
bodies of angels: puke
dizzy razor blades
a skyscraper soaring is a thing of the air
up and away. if we all could fly
what a thing it would be, flights of stairs, an empty sky,
Few know this kind of permanent glee:
You can toss it something to puke.
I'm sick of the burning kite winging toward the
flight of birds and the postman attaining everyone's address
in the sky. You are in the original shape
but to rise on air does not make you a bird.
It's true, a hurricane from the gut.
Broken wire
Death by fire of wind
Fire trucks persisting in May whether they're
sentenced to a pair of burning wings
and always, bamboo frames wound with wire on every wall.
A free life is made of words
Scissors' v at each end.
Earthquake poem written a while back. Original poem was translated from Ouyang Jianghe's The Burning Kite

The Shark and the Mermaid Lyrics - Billie Myers
Without a moments hesitation
They threw caution to the wind.
He though, she must be blind not to see
He was no Prince Charming, no beauty.
She held flowers at her fingertips,
And honey fell from her lips,
He dived, into the oceans wild
As she swam in the morning mist...
He said, if it's mine it will be, always yours.
Cast away any doubt and open up those
doors... It was the
Shark and the Mermaid
As they grow in mind and body,
And the days turned into years.
He thoughm one day she might go away,
But her love overshadowed his fears.
sponsored linksUnder the liquid sky,
Where they lived they were legends to
Fate distracted by their simple charms,
Left them there to love alone.
Now the angels wait patiently,
for the shadows down below, they stop and
smile because...
it's the Shark and the Mermaid
Nobody thought that the love would last
Everybody looked and everybody laughed
but the Mermaid and the Shark they just
slipped away
Nothing stopped them no one got in their
Standing together as lovers and friends.
They stayed together their love knew no
Proving everyone wrong, they grew together
They were strong.
Everybody was wrong.

Great DVD showing why knives are more dangerous than guns in close range. Video is seminar format showing the tech's and strategies they use to defend from common knife attacks. Each student goes through a progression and you can see them "get it" as they keep practicing. Voice overs and slow mo's done of actual drills so you can see what went wrong/right. Very well done.

Last week our 6 Week Master the Mountain off piste camp crew got to exercise their powder legs to the max with a Cat-Skiing day at Fernie Wilderness Adventure. With a good dump of fresh snow overnight and a blue-bird forecast, it really was the perfect way to spend Valentines Day!
Pictures speak a thousand words and videos speak a thousand pictures, so here are a few captures from those who enjoyed the day:
id="attachment_8980" align="alignright" width="477"] Simon Assender enjoying a sweet powder turn
id="attachment_8983" align="alignright" width="477"] Jon and Vanessa enjoying the fresh stuff
id="attachment_8984" align="alignright" width="477"] Will Wickham enjoying catskiing at its best

It looked like an epic day - which, to be fair, comes as standard when you're Cat-Skiing!
