Eat Well: Bass Alison at Carbone
A lighter option on the pasta-heavy menu.
Welcome to the new look of Eat Well. Every Monday, we'll spotlight one new standout dish around town that just so happens to be good for you. This week, it's the Bass Alison at a little-known, completely under-the-radar restaurant called Carbone. Perhaps you've heard of it?
Carbone's all about customers having things their way, and it's offering three bass dishes: steamed with potatoes, fennel with a side of salsa verde (Bass Alison); grilled with Tuscan chickpeas and oreganata vinaigrette; and roasted with Jerusalem artichokes and a pancetta-and-red-wine sauce. All three are obviously healthy; bass is high in omega-3 fatty acids, manganese (good for your sex hormones), and B-12 vitamins. The beauty of the Bass Alison (named after partner Jeff Zalaznick's wife) is its clean simplicity. Instead of acting as a vehicle for butter, as some fish dishes around town do, this is steamed and scented with sliced limes. Order the sauce on the side and you'll feel good enough about your meal to sneak in a bite or six of spicy rigatoni with vodka sauce, too.

I want Boonen to win, but Quickstep has been "Eh". Not sure who to pick.
Shallow genius, deep idiot.
As Diablo says, Hoste is good for another 2nd.
I don't know who will win but I'll betchoo some Slipstream rider with a crazy moustache gets into the early break.
chavanel and gilbert are looking good right now
Hincapie has a break out race! You heard it here first!
George H will win it by coming around Boonen at the finish.
Road Bike- 2003 Trek 2000(out of service, rear triangle bent, looking for replacment)
Triathlon/TT- 2003 Cervelo P3(also looking to upgrade to the P3C)
MTB- 2006 Rocky Mountain Element Team
Cats don't like riding on a bicycle......no matter how much duct tape you use.
I went to the race site.. and he was listed.. they had his number already put up..
he said he has poor form and he look kind of fat in the san Remo.. but he made a pretty strong move on the cipporesa

From Vogue Italia's "black" issue to Jourdan Dunn's recent groundbreaking British Vogue cover, here are seven magazine covers that made fashion history. More
You know the most beautiful thing about getting hit in the face by somebody you love? Nothing! It actually hurts and sometimes your face bleeds and then you have to make excuses so cliche, they sound like they were ripped straight from a Lifetime movie.
Anyway, Vogue Italia doesn't feel the same way. More
It's 2014. We should not still be seeing this kind of editorial in our fashion magazines. More
As part of her supermodel promotional duties, Kroes chatted with British Vogue–who won't be featuring her on the cover, but who did snag her time for the next best thing: diet tips! You know, because that's what women give a shit about.
Robyn Lawley–she of the Italian Vogue covers, watershed Ralph Lauren campaigns and general goodness and decency–stopped by the 2013 American Ballet Theatre Opening Night Spring Gala last night and looked stunning in a strapless beige cocktail dress and matching ankle boots. Please admire how amazing she looks.
…Of course, we were supposed to make the headline "Plus Size Model Robyn Lawley Something Something" but we couldn't do it without at least quotation marks.
Good luck with that whole "sleep" thing; try not to imagine her whispering about snakes in your bed. More
Did you know that Jennifer Lawrence is not actually an oppressed teenager like Katniss Everdeen, but a 22-year-old woman who would almost be out of college by now if insanely successful young actors went to college? It's true. (And yet, it still kind of creeps me out that the grown men who populate AskMen.com voted her "most fuckable woman of 2013" or whatever.) Perhaps in recognition of her budding desirability, her latest fashion spread in Vogue Italia veers away from Vogue UK's shout out to sweater fetishists and focuses more on hot young actress fetishists, as well as clothing fetishists (duh, it is Vogue). Check her out executing some serious fashion poses and making some serious sexyface, then cry bitter tears of "WTF?!" when you remember that she is obese by Hollywood standards. More
That's another for the pile, Mr. Testino. More
C'mon R. Pattz–you are clearly a weird person. Be weird for me. Be weird so I can finally "get it," dammit. Be my hero, baby. More
Hot damn! More
Miranda Kerr is a natural brunette. as anyone with two eyeballs and a Victoria's Secret catalog already knows. More
As we know from the Met Ball drama (but pretty much could have guessed) Anna Wintour is no fan of Kim Kardashian and thus, Kim will never land some breathless, generic Mario Testino-shot Vogue spread, no matter how ruthlessly she campaigns. More
Franca Sozzani, editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, gave a speech at Harvard yesterday, covering eating disorders, pro-ana websites and thinness as beauty ideal. You may have noticed that in recent months, Sozzani has been an outspoken opponent of pro-ana websites, championed plus size models in a landmark issue and even pulled an image of Karlie Kloss from a Steven Meisel-lensed editorial because Kloss looked too thin. She's also blogged extensively on matters of body image and eating disorders over at the magazine's website.
…All the while, she's undermined her crusade by running a fashion magazine. More
Trouble's still brewing over "Haute Mess," a controversial editorial from the March issue of Vogue Italia starring, among others, covergirl Joan Smalls, Jessica Stam, Abbey Lee and Coco Rocha. Inside, the models are styled with outsized makeup and costumes, which Vogue Italia swears is in homage to "messy drag queens." However, many noted that the models' wigs–coupled with fast food, pregnancy bellies, gold teeth, Colt 45 and the overall theme of trashy glitz–felt more than a little classist. If not more than a little racist… More

"Harry Reid on Bundy Ranch Showdown: 'It's not Over'; Rory Reid says Bundy should be Prosecuted"
Following remarks Senate Majority leader Harry Reid made at the University of Nevada, Reno on Monday, the Nevada Democrat told Reno's KRNV TV his thoughts on the cattle controversy in Gold Butte. "Well, it's not over. We can't have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it's not over," Reid said.
There is no question that there were a lot of things going on down there with breaking the law," Reid said. "And that is not over yet. We can't let that continue. So I'm sure it is not the end of it."
Translation: only Congressmen, Attorney's General, IRS employees, NSA employees, Secretaries of State, Presidents, and those who make law are allowed to be above it.
Well, that, and illegal aliens.
Uppity ranchers? Time to put a boot on their throats. Because Yes We Can.

What do you think of this W3Schools rebuttal from coyoteblog?
Jeff G. says April 15, 2014 at 1:51 pm
I think the case is less about Bundy and more about government picking and choosing who to go after, how, and why.
I'm not dying on any hill for Bundy. But I will stand up to a government in perpetual overreach, particularly when it doesn't enforce laws uniformly.
Hell, Obama and Holder spoke at the NAN, knowing Sharpton is a tax cheat. Geithner was a tax cheat. Kerry was a tax cheat.
Today seems as good a day as any to point out that there is a decided erosion of equality before the law in this country. Consider Mr Bundy an occasional.

"We can't have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it's not over ."
But we can walk away from the violations by millions of illegal immigrants.
Maybe Bundy should just claim his conduct is "an act of love."
dicentra says April 15, 2014 at 5:08 pm
C.J. Box, a novelist whose protagonist is a Wyoming game warden, wrote an article for Ricochet on the subject.
He's not terribly sympathetic to Bundy but he is concerned about the BLM's armed response. And unlike many Ricochet articles, the comment section isn't filled with The Evil Undead. In fact, I'd recommend reading the comments.
Especially mine:
We shouldn't let a rigid observation of the Rule of Law trip us up. It was once illegal to stash Jews in your attic, illegal to free your slaves, legally obligatory to return a fugitive slave to his masters, illegal to offer desegregated lunch counters, etc.
Barack Obama flouts the separation of powers in an act of tyranny; Bundy is hamstrung by a mesh of irrational legal contingencies — his declaration that the feds don't own that land is likely a distillation of years of struggling with the situation and of watching the walls inexorably close in on him. The circumstances are NOT parallel.
We can acknowledge that Bundy is not hewing to the law AND use his plight as a way to pry apart some of the absurdities of his situation. God knows it needs doing.
Also, in his radio interviews, Bundy sounds kind of nutty but he's actually just inarticulate. He sounds like the average engineer who is so wrapped up in the details of his project that he can't step back and narrate beginning to end to a newbie.
Hinderaker's most persuasive argument is that Bundy and ranchers just aren't the Right Kind of People, because they haven't bought influence with Reid and Obama, whereas the solar and wind people have. Those enviro boondoggles make politicians and their cronies a boatload of cash whereas cattle farmers can't provide that favor.
Bundy doesn't have a legal leg to stand on, so his not paying fees, making improvements to the land that the BLM was supposed to do, and "trespassing" his cattle hither and yon is an act of civil disobedience.
Given that he's not hurting anyone or anything—including the range land on which he depends for his livelihood—I don't have a problem getting behind this one.
If for no other reason than to break the back of the federal gubmint's hold over western state land.
dicentra says April 15, 2014 at 5:14 pm
Also, chaos favors the tyrant.
It appears that some of the people ostensibly standing on Bundy's side were bussed in from NJ, Illinois, and Wisconsin (?). Blue states.
Who might have been sent down to nudge things over the line, giving the gubmint the excuse to do awful things to conservatives.
geoffb says April 15, 2014 at 5:21 pm
About whose cronies are to benefit from closing the lands to the Bundy clan.
Also it is time for a national "conversation" about how it has come about that the federal Government "owns" 30% of the land in the nation as a whole most of which is in the West. And how that "ownership" has warped the States there.
newrouter says April 15, 2014 at 5:23 pm
more like agent provocateur for the je ne sais quoi quotient
geoffb says April 15, 2014 at 5:24 pm
I think agents provocateurs is the more appropriate term for them.

I'm pretty sure it was illegal for those colonists to assemble in Lexington Green back on the morning of April 19, 1775, too…
Maybe they were outside their Designated First Amendment Zone.
At the risk of repeating myself:
We can't have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it.
Of course not. That's the government's job.

The Case for a Little Sedition
If it's too little, throw it back.
dicentra says April 16, 2014 at 1:27 am
Mark Levin's first hour today brings to light even more details: the BLM had decided two years ago to not pursue the matter but a radical enviro group (BIRM) threatened to sue the BLM if they didn't drive Bundy and his cows off the land.
Levin was a lawyer in the Dept of the Interior under Reagan, so he knows from land disputes.
He also explains how the regulatory apparatus has been hijacked by watermelons, ultimately to nationalize all private property, and the arbitrary seizures in the name of a toitle (or owl or bait fish) plus all the other rules are rigged to push humans off as much land as possible, especially if those humans are engaged in productive behavior.
None of which is a surprise to the peeps on this blog but still. Levin's case makes it hard to waffle on the issue: Bundy may not be Gandhi II and he has no legal claim to the land but he's emblematic of the obscenities in the system and so this battle ought to be fought.

Rory Reid sounds like a motherfucking scooby doo villain

America sucks balls
Darleen says April 16, 2014 at 7:52 am
Make the feds live by their own rules
Wayne Hage did not stand in that courtroom alone because I was honor bound to prevent it – I had published his 1989 book, Storm Over Rangelands: Private Rights in Federal Lands, which unleashed the federal fury.
The message terrified abusive bureaucrats: There are private rights in federal lands – vested rights, not privileges.
His book, the product of three intensive, grueling years consulting with dozens of experts and sifting through many archives, found the dirty little secret that could destroy the abusive power of all federal Western land agencies – by making them obey their own laws. […]
Private rights in federal lands were recognized in an 1866 water law. It says, "… whenever, by priority of possession, rights to the use of water have vested and accrued, and the same are recognized and acknowledged by the local customs, laws, and the decisions of courts, the possessors and owners of such vested rights shall be maintained and protected in the same."
That Act was passed a long time ago, but every federal land law since then contains a clause with language similar to, "Nothing in this Act shall be construed to impair any vested right in existence on the effective date of this Act."
Most ranchers don't know that and federal agencies exploit their ignorance with harassment that runs them off the land. Actually, understanding vested rights is not too hard – they're absolute rights not subject to cancellation – but proving up those rights by assembling your chain of title and other technicalities and then making the government protect them is very hard.
The agencies know they don't own the water rights, so their lawyers fight viciously with misdirection to save their empire from the owners. Ranchers lose in court because they don't know how to prove up their vested rights and they don't get lawyers who know the precision required to plead a vested rights case. Very few lawyers know.
Slartibartfast says April 16, 2014 at 8:01 am
Reid needs to be removed from office, and to have all of his whorecruxes destroyed.
Squid says April 16, 2014 at 8:59 am
I think it's cute that the lawyer in Darleen's linked article thinks that lawyers and courtrooms are going to be the answer. Because the Regime would never think to simply change the law to suit itself, or simply to ignore it altogether. Being, as it is, so well-known for its adherence to the rule of law and the limits placed upon it by the founding documents.
I suspect the issue is ultimately going to be worked out by hard men with pickups and horses and rifles, aided and abetted by ten thousand sympathetic patriots who may lack the courage to face down the Land Managers, but still want to support the cause of liberty.
But still — good for the lawyer, trying to make everyone believe that there's a civilized way out of this.
sdferr says April 16, 2014 at 9:15 am
Isn't the meaning of the civilized way the very heart of the question at issue? Sure seems like it.
geoffb says April 16, 2014 at 9:43 am
It appears that some of the people ostensibly standing on Bundy's side were bussed in from NJ, Illinois, and Wisconsin (?). Blue states.
It would be nice to know something about just who was bussed in and who organized the busing. Agents provocateurs are a proven and widely taught method in the "community organizer" community. Used all over the world, especially where the media is controlled so the lie can be sold without challenge and allow for overwhelming force to then be used, demanded by "the people," to crush all resistance.
Mueller says April 16, 2014 at 10:24 am

Di. I don't know about NJ, but there are a lot of pissed off peoplke here in Illinois and in Wisc. We're tired of being ruled. Springfield and Chicago and the cololar counties run the state of Illinois. Just like Madison and Milwaukee run Wisconsin.
Blue Springfield and Chicago and Cook County can easily nullify the votes in the rest of the state.
IUf I could have been there I would have.
Squid says April 16, 2014 at 10:54 am
Mueller, people like you and I would go there on our own, or try to organize our neighbors to come with us. The question before us is whether the people who made the trip were folks like us, or just a bunch of Democrat goons bused in by tax-exempt "advocacy groups" to disrupt a protest that the Current Regime sees as dangerous.
Lucky for us, we have a legion of sharp, curious, ambitious journalists who are already digging into the money trail to sniff out the truth. Oh, wait…

July 17, 2013
Gawker writer Ryan Tate had an interesting email exchange with Apple cofounder Steve Jobs just months after the release of the first iPad about Adobe Flash, digital magazines and porn.
Tate sent an email to the famous [email protected] email address, likely looking for a fight (I mean, come on…he implied that one of Jobs' idols would not be proud of his work), and ended up receiving long form responses from the Apple CEO. These return emails from Cupertino practically read as tomes when paired next to his normally terse, one word emails.
The one quote that stands out from this dialogue, however, is as follows:
Tate took issue with Apple calling the iPad a "revolution" and told Jobs "Revolutions are about freedom."
Jobs' response?
"Yep. Freedom from programs that steal your private data. Freedom from programs that trash your battery. Freedom from porn. Yep, Freedom."
Which is all a lengthy preamble to say — have you heard the one about the Tennessee man suing Apple because their products displayed porn?
Here's the long and short of it: Former attorney Chris Sevier is suing Apple because their devices can connect to the Internet and don't nanny their users. Because of this, Sevier apparently got SO into pornography that he could no longer tell the difference between masturbating and having real sex with his wife. The two ended up getting a divorce and now he wants Apple to pay.
Think this story is ridiculous? It gets better. Because Sevier has some legal experience, he's able to come up with simply some of the best awkward and sterile ways to describe his troubles.
The entire issue when he opened up Safari to check his Facebook account. Only, instead of going to "Facebook.com," Sevier claims an unfortunate spelling error took him instead to the domain Eff You See Kay Book.com. (Get it?)
Apparently the images seen on EffYouSeeKayBook.com "appealed to his biological sensibilities as a male and lead to an unwanted addiction with adverse consequences."
From here he apparently became so lost in a porn addiction that his marital relations began to suffer.
How's this description of a struggling marriage?
"The Plaintiff began desiring, younger more beautiful girls featured in porn videos than his wife, who was no longer 21. His failed marriage caused the Plaintiff to experience emotional distress to the point of hospitalization. The Plaintiff could no longer tell the difference between internet pornography and tangible intercourse due to the content he accessed through the Apple products, which failed to provide him with warnings of the dangers of online pornography whatsoever."
The suit also claims Apple products are putting "brick and mortar or "mom and pop" porn shops" out of business because you can access the Internet from them.
Sevier wants Apple to censor the Internet on their devices and block access to anything pornographic unless a consenting adult, aged 18 or over, sends in a request to Apple and receives a code to remove the porn filter.
There's so much wrong with this that I don't even know where to start.
Who determines what is pornographic and what isn't? Apple's already been in hot water over which apps they allow in the app store, so it's hard to believe that even in a twisted world where the general public would allow such censorship, Apple would hire a team of people to watch all the porn on the Internet and block it from their devices.
This makes even less sense considering Sevier claims Apple should have known the dangers of porn and blocked it for him.
He wants someone to come in contact with porn and block it, but doesn't want anyone to see it because it's damaging.
It's interesting that Apple, whose ex-CEO once declared his company offered "freedom from porn" is now being sued because their products let people get on the Internet.
It's even more interesting that there's at least one guy who believes Apple isn't doing enough to keep content away from their devices.
Fascinating….just fascinating.
You might not be surprised to know that Sevier has had some problems in the past.
He was placed on disability inactive status by order of the Tennessee Supreme Court when they deemed he was incapable of performing his legal duties due to "mental infirmity or illness."
Maybe he was just too busy "greasing the palms?"
He was also arrested last month for stalking country music singer John Rich.
So, you know…there's that.

There is no 'revision'. If you are put off by a loose button, either fix it yourself, or choose another phone. Mine is loose, but doesn't rattle at all...I NEVER notice its loose in my Diztronic (thin) case, which has protected me from more than a dozen drops.
Yeah there is no actual revision (every single Nexus 5 out there is rev11)
BTW, how can I fix it myself?
Your's doesn't rattle? Awesome
But my friend's Nexus 5 (310K) rattles all the time, even when he types in something!!!
Even a slight movement of the phone is enough to make the switch rattle.
Yep..we've had several claim the button is so loose that lightly tapping causes rattle and noticeable vibration. A slim piece of cardstock (like a business card) behind the ceramic button cures it... carefully remove the back cover, insert the sliver of cardstock, replace cover, enjoy.

The Basque side will play in the King's Cup Final after eliminating Oviedo, Albacete, Mallorca and Mirandés
Athletic Club, FC Barcelona's rival in the King's Cup Final, qualified for the championship match after a nearly impeccable run. In the four qualifying rounds before the final, Marcelo Bielsa's men won 7 matches and drew only once, they scored 17 goals and only conceded 3.
Oviedo was Athletic Club's first rival in the round of 32. The Basques won the first and second legs by one goal to nil. The draw for the next round paired them up with Albacete. The first match, which ended in a goalless draw, was played at the Carlos Belmonte and the return leg, at the San Mamés, was won by Athletic by 4-0. Against Malloca, in the quarter-finals, the Basque side won at the Sam Mamés by 2-0 and then won in Mallorca by 0-1.
Mirandés, the only team capable of scoring on Athletic
Mirandés, the surprise team of the King's Cup, was an interesting rival for the Athletic Club. The municipal stadium in Anduva was packed to the brim as Mirandés attempted to complete the historic feat of reaching the Final. Athletic, who won by 1-2, watched as Lanbarri broke the Basques' run of clean sheets in the competition. In the return leg, Athletic overwhelmed Mirandés with a 6-2 scoreline.

Gazette: Hoop Coach, Players Make Special Delivery

A day after trick-or-treating was done, the UMass basketball team reversed roles. Head coach Derek Kellogg, his staff and players hand-delivered season tickets to fans throughout the Pioneer Valley on Monday night. The Daily Hampshire Gazette's Matt Vautour has a feature story on the unique distribution that is helping fans connect with the Minutemen.
By MATT VAUTOUR
AMHERST - The doorbell ringer Monday evening wasn't a late trick-or-treater. The guy on the doorstep dressed like Derek Kellogg, was in fact Derek Kellogg.
On Tuesday night, the University of Massachusetts coaching staff and players split up into seven small groups and drove around the Pioneer Valley for a few hours, personally delivering tickets to unsuspecting season ticket holders in hopes of making their fans feel more connected to the program.
Kellogg, his 2-year-old son Max, junior big man Sean Carter and freshman point guard Daryl Traynham, did a route through Amherst and Pelham, exchanging tickets and posters for a lot of surprised expressions.
"My granddaughter's husband told me the coach was here," said Mike Sullivan, a 73-year-old former controller and director of finance at UMass who estimated he'd had season tickets for over 40 years. "I thought he was joking. ... It was very nice."
The next stop was the home of former team physician James Ralph, whose wife Edie was wearing a UMass T-shirt and invited the group inside.
"It was totally unexpected. We've had season tickets since 1963. Nobody has ever done that," Edie Ralph said. "It was wonderful. It makes you feel kind of special."
James Ralph has been retired since 1997, but is still a regular in the stands at quite a few UMass sports.
"It was kind of a shocker," said James Ralph, who was actually reading a newspaper article on UMass when the doorbell rang. "I think it's wonderful. I was very pleased to see and hear that they were going to all those places."
At one house a fan thought the delivery was the result of his call to the ticket office wondering why his tickets hadn't arrived yet. At another, the players opted to stay in Kellogg's SUV with the Basketball Hall of Fame plates when they saw the "Beware of Dog" sign threatening visitors.
"A couple houses were in secluded wooded areas," Kellogg said. "I think they thought there were burglars coming in."
But at most places, they found fans that were happily amused the coach and players were taking the time to reach out. Kellogg said the credit for the idea went to Andy Allison, UMass' director of basketball operations.
"It was a great idea," Kellogg said. "It was a great thing to see. I think everybody realizes that we're making an effort to reach out to the community. We're try to do everything possible to have a connection with the fans and people we want to become fans. We're trying to make it as much of a family atmosphere as we can. I, and my team, really appreciate the people that come to the game. For them to buy season tickets that takes a dedicated fan. We need fans in the Mullins Center and we appreciate it when they come."
It was Kellogg's second straight night of ringing doorbells after bringing Max, dressed at Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear, trick-or-treating the night before. Even then the coach was reaching out to potential fans.
"When they gave us candy we gave them schedules," he said laughing.
Kellogg said they picked who to visit largely by location, trying to get as many as they could in close proximity to each other. He wasn't sure how many houses the seven mini-groups had visited. He planned to hit a few more on Tuesday.
"I still have a few more I plan to deliver to houses myself," Kellogg said. "We had to stop because Max was getting a little cranky."

Rubys Diary
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
Varying from light pink to blood red, the ruby is a gemstone whose name comes from the Latin for red. Is it any wonder than that the luscious babe featured on Rubys Diary has hair the color of that gorgeous gemstone? This site has been around for a year or so and they've added a picture set or movie at least once a week. Moreover, everything that you do find push your fetish model buttons through the roof.
As you may have guessed, one of the things that I really liked about RubysDiary is that the model flirts with the fetish side of sex. From her corsets, clit piercing and tattoo to her desire to spank or flog herself, you will see plenty of content that is sure to appeal to Goth chick lovers. Not only does the content appeal to this market, but also the design is great-looking, which makes navigating easy too.
Currently, you will find a total of 59 galleries divided into three different sections. The 'phone-pics gallery' features large and grainy images taken by the camera on her cellphone. They aren't great, but they are fun and flirty. In the 'photo-diary gallery,' you will find high-res pics that accompany a short description of the photos or what led to them being taken.
Like other individual models, these sets often follow the solo-chick posing and stripping format. I didn't notice any masturbation even, but there is plenty of nudity and even some great pussy shots. While I liked these previously-mentioned galleries, I have to admit that my soft spot really goes out to the fabulous 'art-erotica gallery.' These images are mostly black and white solo images, but there are a few cock sucking and fucking sets as well.
At the moment, there are 38 movies that you can stream in an embedded QuickTime player or download in mediocre iPod files. While the content quality isn't amazing, it is nice that you can now download your favorite scenes and take them with you. In some she's soaping up her round ass, using a cat-o-nine-tails on herself, doing a naughty strip tease and in others, she's sucking cock or fucking.
There isn't much by way of extras on this site, but that doesn't mean that what you get isn't great. The only features you can expect to find at the moment are a bio, seven candid galleries and her newly added daily blog. The latter comes with a pic each day as well, but they don't all feature more of that sexy redhead. In her diary, Ruby actually talks about real issues, including trying to explain her decision to work in pornography to her family. You'll really learn what makes this beautiful chick tick.
Although the price may seem a little steep for a model with little main content and no full-access bonuses, Rubys Diary is a great option for those fetishists who like redhead, piercings and tattoos covering their women and who want to know more about the chick in question.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Lawmakers agree to lower student loan interest rates again
Congress reached an agreement Wednesday to lower federally subsidized student loan interest rates, at least temporarily. A bipartisan group of senators met Tuesday night with President Barack Obama to discuss options. The next morning the lawmakers announced an agreement they plan to vote on in the next few days.
The deal establishes new rates for the federally subsidized Stafford loans. Undergraduates would pay 3.85 percent interest, about half a percentage higher than last year's rates. Graduate students and parents would see a decrease in interest rates, borrowing at 5.4 and 6.4 percent respectively.
In 2007, Congress passed a temporary deal to lower federal student loan interest rates. They agreed to gradually lower the undergraduate interest rates from 6.8 percent to 3.4 percent for a set time, after which the rates would return to their original levels. That temporary deal ended last summer, but lawmakers extended it for one year, ending July 1. But after howls of protest from student aid and higher education advocates, lawmakers agreed to try to reach another deal to keep the rates artificially low.
Debates centered around the idea of tying student loans to market interest rates. The deal forged earlier this week goes half way—the rates will fluctuate with financial market interest rates, but will be capped. Undergraduate rates cannot go higher than 8.25 percent, graduate rates cannot pass 9.5 percent, and parents' rates will stop at 10.5 percent.
If the deal passes, the government will retroactively lower the interest rates for students who have already taken their Stafford loans for the summer.
In the minds of some congressmen, this could be a short lived solution. Lawmakers plan to rewrite the Higher Education Act in the fall, addressing many college finance issues, including federal student loans. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pension Committee, said he could "scrap the whole bill when he takes up the Higher Education Act" this fall.
Advocates of federally subsidized student loans say they are necessary as college prices continue to rise. Some financial experts contend that federal loans for students don't give the advantage that lawmakers hope, but actually contribute to rising college costs. According to The Wall Street Journal "Colleges have responded to the availability of easy federal money by doing what subsidized industries generally do: Raising prices to capture the subsidy."

The Queensland Reds celebrated Ewen McKenzie's record-breaking coaching appearance with their own slice of Super Rugby history on Good Friday - busting a 31-year hoodoo in New Zealand's deep south.
Queensland had never beaten the Highlanders on the road, and last tasted success in Dunedin as amateurs in 1982, but they finally conquered their final Super Rugby frontier with a 34-33 heart-stopper at Forsyth Barr Stadium.
It wasn't convincing though, as they almost blew a 15-point second-half lead with some nervy game management in the final 20 minutes.
However coaching boss McKenzie, in charge for his 121st Super Rugby game, breaking Robbie Deans' record, was delighted with a result which included their first four-try bonus point of the season.
"In the end we came away with the bit of history we wanted and five points so we're pretty pleased," he told AAP.
"To come to New Zealand and win, everyone is happy with that, and to get a bonus point is fantastic."
In just his third match back from a knee reconstruction, Wallabies halfback Will Genia was again a stand-out as Queensland raced to a 31-16 advantage when he crossed in the 54th minute from a perfectly-worked 5m scrum play.
But the winless Highlanders desperately stormed back in the entertaining encounter through tries to All Blacks backs Hosea Gear and Ma'a Nonu.
The visitors missed in-form flanker Liam Gill at the breakdown after he was replaced at halftime with a thumb injury which McKenzie believes is minor.
In the end, Queensland enjoyed slices of luck at the death as some scrambling defence and some Highlanders' errors helped the Reds to a 5-2 record heading into next weekend's bye.
"I told their coach (Jamie Joseph) afterwards, they'll trouble everyone they play," McKenzie said.
"They're not an easy team to beat at all."
The Reds pack muscled up well at key times and forwards scored their three first-half tries - including a driving maul effort by Gill.
Five-eighth Quade Cooper was at his mercurial best in the free-flowing encounter, producing rocks to go along with his diamonds.
He took just five minutes to set up a bizarre opening try to hooker James Hanson, fending off No.8 Elliot Dixon and then off-loading only to see Dixon bat down the pass into Hanson's path.
But Cooper also missed an easy penalty attempt when Highlanders skipper Andrew Hore was sin-binned which eventually led to Genia putting No.8 Jake Schatz over for a 21-13 lead on the half-hour mark.
As well as the returning Gill (knee), winger Dom Shipperley (back) made an impressive comeback in Digby Ioane's absence and made a host of breaks in his hour on the field.

Over eleven years in the making! These two noise dynamos go head to head in an all out collaboration to the death.
Recorded in both France and USA, this long awaited album exemplifies the styles of both artists in both live and studio settings. Dark, brooding, collage, electronics & Musique concrčte run rampant from side to side.
Edition of 250 copies, housed in 1960's Library heavy plastic jackets, with silk screened booklets of Bolus/Ortmann collages & drawings.
Panicsville and Evil Moisture have been haunting the world of noise for years with some of the most outright bizarre, composite and interesting releases. I'm always up to listening to new material by these two guys and it's usually a blast.
According to Nihilist Records' website this clash of Andy's (Andy Bolus & Andy Ortmann) took more than eleven years to come out. It might seem an absurd lapse of time but total procrastination and absolute mess are key ingredients in noise music.
First track of this LP is a live collaboration recorded in Paris in 2007 and it starts on the quiet side. A throbbing mass of musique concrete-like sounds, metal junk manipulation and "delicate" synth creates a lively and fresh mix, paving the way to something worse and more aggressive. Indeed the weird dada junk soon gives space to heavily distorted contact microphones and synths paired by porn loops - making this my favourite part of this side of the record of course. Nothing new but it's good noise from two veterans of the trade, so I couldn't ask for much more. The quality of the recording is not the best and there's some clipping, but it didn't bother me much.
Side B consists in a mix of studio recordings and it's a beast of another kind. From Idiotic 80s pop music, mangled drum samples, mouth farts, bursts of harsh noise and general trigger-happy sampler galore to disquieting, distant and creepy unidentified noises and old school industrial-feeling loops: everything is skilfully mixed and blended in a few somehow coherent tracks, which is something to appreciate in this field. I especially like the extreme use of panning and the unrelenting and deliberate crippling of pop music matter. Some of the loops are greatly effective and catchy. I'm sure everybody can find some sounds to cling to and I didn't expect anything less from these two names.
I loved this LP and I thoroughly recommend it to lovers of cut-up based noise, old dada-influenced industrial and weird sounds in general.

Is Andy Cohen Engaged to a Sexy Pro Athlete? His Dad Responds!
The rumor mill has been abuzz lately that Bravo head honcho Andy Cohen is secretly engaged to his hunky pro-athlete boyfriend. So is it true?
A gossip site, The Fame Driven, reported last week that Andy is not only dating former NHL star Sean Avery, but that the two are secretly engaged. Say what?! However, it appears that Andy's dad, Louis Cohen, has a few words to say on the subject.
"That is not accurate information," Louis tells Radar Online about Andy. "He is not engaged."
Indeed, Louis should probably know the truth, given that Louis and wife Evelyn, Andy's mom, recently returned from visiting with Andy in NYC over the weekend. "Andy told me all these rumors are floating around, but he said it's not true," Louis continues.
Then again, Andy could just be pulling a fast one on his folks. "Unless he's keeping something from me," he points out. "But there really is no validity to [engagement] rumors."
So does this mean that Andy is dating Sean, but that the two just aren't engaged? "That's not necessarily true either," Louis says. "I've never even met Sean. Andy's not dating anyone, to my knowledge. He's just so busy." Uh, that's not exactly a denial. Just sayin'.
You may remember Sean's name popping up in the gossip columns over the years. Quite a while back, he dated 24 star Elisha Cuthbert — yes, a woman — for two years. Interestingly, he announced his retirement from hockey last year while on Watch What Happens Live. So he gave Andy the exclusive. Hmmm.
All that said, Louis is hoping Andy can find some time in his schedule to let in a little love. "For his own benefit, I'd really like to see him end up with somebody," his dad adorably says. "But that's not really my call!"
Okay, so apparently Andy is not currently engaged. At least, we don't think. We'll keep you posted.

A fine young man came to see me recently with a problem that is almost universal. When he was a youth he dreamed of a specific career, but circumstances barred him from the job on which his heart had been set. Now he is disappointed and feels cheated.
He wanted to be a doctor, but he did not have the money necessary for his education, and had to quit school and go to war. Now his chance to be a doctor is gone and he is filled with regret. There are a lot of people who have not been able to do the things their hearts were once set on doing.

Click here to watch our Dispatch Process Public Education Video
In 1968, 9-1-1 became the national emergency number for the United States. Calling this common three-digit number provided a caller access to police, fire and ambulance services, through what would become known as a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). On February 16, 1968, the first-ever 9-1-1 call was placed from the City Hall in Haleyville Alabama to the city's police station. The phone used to answer the first 9-1-1 call, a bright red model, is now in a museum in Haleyville. The technology used to process and dispatch a 9-1-1 call has changed dramatically since 1968.
Large, multi-million dollar computer systems are now in place to receive a 9-1-1 call, route the call to the appropriate call taker, identify the caller's location and phone number, recommend the appropriate public safety units, monitor the location of first responders, and track the incident throughout the dispatch process.
Complex radio equipment is in place to ensure first responders can coordinate with the dispatcher and with each other as they respond to the incident. As a result, Prince George's County is able to provide its citizens with the highest level of public safety response possible.
Public Safety Communications receives calls for public safety assistance through 9-1-1 or the 10-digit non-emergency number. Each call, regardless of the number dialed (9-1-1 or 301-352-1200) is processed using a Nortel PBX and Cassidian 9-1-1 system obtained from Motorola Solutions. The system routes incoming calls to the next available 9-1-1 call taker by way of an Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) system.
The information gathered by the call taker is entered into our Tiburon Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system and the call for service information is routed to the appropriate dispatcher for processing. When the incident is displayed on the dispatcher's status monitor, the CAD system will recommend units to respond, based upon the geographic area and unit availability. Updates from the9-1-1 call takers and information from field personnel are entered into the CAD system to provide the latest information to the field units, as well as the call takers and dispatcher still working on the call.
Public Safety Communications law enforcement and fire/EMS dispatchers use the County's state of the art Motorola 700 MHz, TDMA radio system to communicate and dispatch the appropriate units to incidents. All communication between the first respondersand the dispatch personnel takes place via this radio system. The radio system provides interoperability with the public safety first responders to ensure coordinated efforts between public safety agencies and seamless communication with the dispatchers. The radio system is also a life line between first responders and the dispatcher. Should an emergency situation occur, the dispatcher is able to send immediate assistance to the officer, deputy or firefighter in need.

Bartolome and Black Turtle Cove
Viva Ecuador
Where the boardwalk ends at Bartolome's highest point we got the classic Galapagos postcard view of Pinnacle Rock and Santiago in the distance.
Helen had to sit it out, but I had some of my best snorkeling in the shadow of Pinnacle Rock later in the morning. I swam among great schools of colorful fish, often against the background of bright orange-red algae on the reefs.
In the afternoon we rode the Zodiaks through the bays and inlets of Black Turtle Cove spotting several sea turtles, rays and sharks.

Thank you for contacting Just Answer.
I'm a Washington state licensed attorney and have never heard of a non-compete agreement law or WAC. There are, of course, many many cases. I think they're all handled based on contract law.
If you tell me a bit more about the situation I can do a better job of helping you.
What would help is if I knew whether the software engineer is asked to sign the non-compete at the time of hiring or after he or she is already working there. Then I can look up some cases for you.
OK, thanks. That kind of request is extremely common and is allowed. If the non-compete is really outrageous then a court may throw it out when the employee leaves the company and wants to work somewhere else.
Here is a link written by an excellent WA state employment trial attorney that may answer some of your questions. I am on a listserv with her and I consider her one of the experts in Washington: http://djillpugh.typepad.com/employment_law_blog/2006/02/are_noncompete_.html

|Brief Summary
|This purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between insulin resistance and changes in body fat distribution in HIV-infected persons. This study measures insulin sensitivity, abdominal fat, and intramuscular fat in HIV-infected persons and examines the effect of an anti-diabetic drug (metformin or pioglitazone) on insulin sensitivity and body fat in this population.
|Detailed Description
Although HIV antiretroviral medications have helped patients live longer, they have also been associated with side effects including insulin resistance and changes in body fat distribution. Changes in body fat distribution associated with HIV antiretroviral medications may result in increased fat in the abdomen, neck, and upper back, which is often called central fat deposition. HIV antiretroviral medications may also result in loss of fat in legs, arms, and face, which is often called peripheral fat atrophy.
Insulin resistance is a pre-disease condition that often leads to diabetes after 10 to 20 years. Insulin is a hormone made by the body that tells the body to store glucose in muscle and fat. People with insulin resistance often need more insulin to store the same amount of glucose. Both insulin resistance and changes in fat distribution in HIV-infected persons are areas of active research because they are both associated with an increased risk of heart disease.
This study examines the relationship between insulin resistance and changes in body fat distribution in HIV-infected persons. This study will recruit both HIV-infected and uninfected persons. The investigators will compare findings between HIV-infected persons with central fat deposition and HIV-infected persons with peripheral fat atrophy, as well as between HIV-infected and uninfected persons.
This study involves taking a drug that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in humans for a period of 3 months.

This week the LITFL Review turns 50!!
The LITFL Review is your regular and reliable source for the highest highlights, sneakiest sneak peaks and loudest shout-outs from the webbed world of emergency medicine and critical care. Each week the LITFL team will cast the spotlight on the best and brightest from the blogosphere, the podcast video/audiosphere and the rest of the Web 2.0 social media jungle.
The Most Fair Dinkum Ripper Beaut of the Week
- Top spot this week heads over to Queensland and is taken out by David Corkhill from Emergency in the Shed. David teams up with Aussie ED doc Jeff Hooper to have a chat about Avoiding the Pitfalls of Trauma Part 1 — they highlight the top 10 common mistakes that they see repeatedly missed in trauma patients, and provide some nice pearls on managing the trauma patient.
The Usual Suspects
- Joe's pick this week is by Scott Melanson with a look at Which Neck Injuries require Vascular Imaging?
- Case report: seizures after smoking a synthetic cannabinoid product — a rare occurrence, but something to be familiar with when patients present after using these synthetic cannabinoids.
- Review of ricin toxicity. Nice point by Leon: the fact that ricin as never been used as a mass terror weapon — despite its abundance — is a measure of how difficult this process really is.
- It's a bird, it's a plane . . . OMG, it's a snake! — Snakes don't fly….or do they?
- Case report: fatality after ingestion of methylone and butylone sold as "ecstasy" — be careful what you pay for.
- Leon highlights some Aussies literature reviewing 4 toxic Spider bites!
- Circulatory support in cardiogenic shock — is it time for 'out with the old, and in with the new' inotropes, and maybe throw in some mechanical devices on the side.
- Treating sepsis – have we got it the wrong way round? — some food for thought on sepsis from Cliff. What do you think about this?
Academic Life of Emergency Medicine
- Trick of the Trade: Tie-over dressing for scalp lacerations — holds the dressing in place, and has your patient looking like they're from a spiderman movie. Win-win!
- Handling Serious Bacterial Illness in Children — highlights some new articles and concepts for tackling this sometimes deadly disease.
- Airway expert Richard Levitan provides us with some tips and tricks for using Video + Direct Laryngoscopy.
- Ventricular fibrillation on a 12-lead ECG — Dr Smith explains how this looks like torsdades, but its not – shock it anyway.
- Avoiding the death stare. — "Our own emotional response to these situations is not a switch. It is a tide."
- Managing the patient with an intellectual disability. — this post is gold, a must read for every ED nurse and Dr — so we can deliver the care these patient desperately require.
The Rest Of The Best
- Andy bounces-back from top spot last week with another excellent vodcast with Anatomy for Emergency Medicine – #2 the Vertebral Artery.
- This week the team released part 2 of their podcast on Fever of Unknown Source.
ED Trauma and Critical Care
- Another Review on Ketamine Use in ED — the most unappreciated drug in emergency medicine shines brightly in another excellent review of the literature.
- Did Hell Just Freeze Over? — It looks like orthopods are stronger and smarter than anaesthetist — it's true then that "long term propofol use leads to muscular atrophy and now long term cognitive impairment."
- Amit shares some of his experience on EMRAP regarding Aussie EM Training vs US EM Training — You American docs have got it easy… 😉
- Cardiac arrest and prognosis — some tips on when we should stop.
Emergency Medicine Literature of Note
- Dexmedetomidine Is Not For ED Sedation in behavioural emergencies — but may have a role in procedural sedation and sedation for NIV in the ED.
- Under/Overtesting in Fever Without a Source — where is the middle ground.
- Nitroprusside Saves Pigs – How About Humans? — They could be onto something— only time will tell.
This week's pearl is by Rose Chasm on Pyloric Stenosis:
- Causes gastric outlet obstruction and vomiting.
- 1 in every 500 infants; with a 4:1 male-to-female ratio and a family history in another sibling.
- Symptoms begin 2-4 weeks after birth, with projectile NON-bilious vomiting.
- Firm, mobile, nontender, olive-shaped mass in right hypochondrium or epigastric area.
- Diagnosis confirmed with US or upper GI series.
- Treatment is a pyloromyotomy, but fluid and electrolyte replacement is vital in ED.
- Pierre Robin Sequence — one of the most difficult airway situations an emergency doc can come across — guaranteed sphincter tightening!!!
The Trauma Professional's Blog
- Michael highlights some new amazing technology for Real Time Cerebral Blood Flow Monitoring For TBI.
- Cricothyroidotomy Using The Scalpel-Bougie Technique — a cool video — demonstrating a simple approach to the surgical airway.
EM dose
- Trauma in Pregnancy — some excellent short pearls on managing the pregnant trauma patient — worth reading.
- The ins and outs of managing Hypertension in Pregnancy.
- An update on managing bartholin gland cysts.
- A short, sharp simple guide pack with key-points for Postpartum Hemorrhage.
- You have to know about this for your next cyanide exposure… worth knowing about if your going to dialyse your sick cyanide poisoned patients.
- A special Christmas message from ZDogg and Dr Harry in Feed The Wards (Do They Know It's Christmas Time?)
Twee-D and Twitcal Care
[blackbirdpie id="149214554721746944″]
News from the Fastlane
- The LITFL team would like to wish all our readers a Merry Christmas, and wish you all the best for 2012. We look forward to providing you more online educational goodness next year, and we love you all.
The Final Words
- "There was never a genius without a tincture of madness"
— Aristotle
- "Destiny is not a matter of chance, but of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."
— Winston Churchill
That's it for now…
Hopefully this roundup of the world of electronic emergency medicine and critical care education for everyone helps you to deal with anyone, anything, anywhere at anytime for at least another week! If you'd like to suggest something for inclusion in the next edition of The LITFL Review, email our roving reporter: kane AT lifeinthefastlane.com

Open Library Data
Posted by Govt Library and Info Mgmt Professionals Network on 2012-01-14
Dear colleagues,
Libraries and Literacy is pleased to announce that data on British Columbia's 71 library systems and 241 library branch locations is now available on the DataBC open data portal (www.data.gov.bc.ca) as part of government's Transformation and Technology Strategy.
The data set includes a information collected through the annual statistics process. For example, you will find data on:
- Number of people using the library in-person and virtually
- Library physical and electronic collections (e.g. Books, DVDs, eBooks, MP3s)
- Number and types of programs and activities offered at the library
- Library size
- Staffing levels
- Library revenues and expenditures
While this information is already available on the Ministry website and in other places, we are pleased that inclusion in the DataBC website will heighten the profile of the data and make it more widely available.
BC public library statistics are used by researchers interested in community development, literacy and library studies; by libraries to evaluate their own performance; by local and provincial governments and by citizens interested in library services.
Notably, the information includes the latitude and longitude locations of each branch library, opening up endless possibilities for including libraries in GIS applications and finder apps!
Click here to access the data directly.
For some interesting commentary on the DataBC open data portal, see this blog post from David Eaves: http://eaves.ca/2011/07/19/province-of-bc-launches-open-data-catalog-what-works/

So you want to race....
Friday, November 30, 2012
Whether you want to race a short race or a longer race, the results of your endeavour will all come down to your training and race preparation. How you train and how much you train will differ depending on the distance. A 5k requires a different type of training than a half marathon as does a 10k or a full marathon. Whether your goal is simply to finish, or to hit a specific time goal, you have to train properly. For the 5k, it's pretty simple - if you just want to finish, run several times a week for 3 or 4 miles and you should be fine. If you want to set a time goal then you will want to add intervals.
What got me to writing this particular blog entry, however, has nothing to do with 5k's or 10k's. It has to do specifically with half marathons, which alot of runners aspire to but seem ill prepared for. I have raced many half marathons and completed 3 this year alone, setting a PR in each of those races. The REASON I am writing this is because some runners seem to believe that the HM is simply an extension of the shorter races and that they can continue with lower mileage and have a successful race. It isn't important what your goal for the HM is, but that perception will leave you with a bad race and possibly injured.
If you want to run your first HM and your goal is simply to "finish the race", that is fine, but some runners believe they can run 10 miles per week and then show up on race day and be good. They can't. They may finish the race, but then again the odds are that they will be far slower than they anticipated and will be on the course much longer than anticipated or they simply won't finish at all.
AT A MINIMUM, training for a HM should include a base mileage of 25 miles per week with a long run that equals the distance of the race - and that is absolutely bare bones training - no speed work, no tempos, just mileage. And that is if your goal is simply to say you finished. But shouldn't the runner want to finish feeling strong - with a feeling that not only did he or she accomplish the goal of racing the HM but also that they actually defeated the race. After all, racing is all about racing against ourselves and our own expectations. If I go into a race (as I did in September) with the goal of finishing with a 6:45 pace and I then finish with a 6:56 pace, then I'll be disappointed, despite the fact that I set a PR - I didn't reach my goal. In that case, it was a matter of not eating properly before the race (I believe). I'll find out in February.
If you want to race the HM and want to feel GREAT at the end, then you need to do more than the bare minimum. Base mileage should be in the mid 30's or higher - more is better but only to a point, depending on how good a shape you are in. I took the period between training for two HM's to increase my base mileage which is now around 50 miles per week. I WILL hit the 6:45 mark in my next race and part of my strategy for doing so involves higher mileage.
If you want to set a specific time goal for your HM then you are looking at an entirely different type of training. Besides increasing your base, you will also need to work in tempo runs and intervals or fartleks to work on your fast twitch fibers. You will want to EXCEED race distance by at least a couple of miles on each of your long runs and because of the additional strain on your body from added miles, as well as more difficult workouts, you will want to work in a "light" week, where you run fewer miles and don't do tempos/intervals so that the muscles can heal while you do easy runs at whatever pace your legs feel comfortable at. There are many good plans out there for the HM but they all require solid base mileage - the most important key next to proper nutrition for a successful race - no matter what the distance. I'll keep up the high mileage, the long tempos and the intervals for 10k's and 5k's as well but I'll structure them differently for the distance I am racing.
So, this is why I wrote this blog post. I want YOU to have a successful HM and I want to stress that the best chance you have for that to happen is by having solid base mileage that is high enough for the race you are intending to race. Please don't go into a half marathon with a 10 or 12 mile per week base and the intention of simply finishing, expecting that you will feel good coming out the other end. You may well be able to, but the odds are against you.
Good luck and keep running!

ST. JOHN, N.B./ Fort Kent– On May 2 and 3, Melanie Saucier of Fort Kent competed in the New Brunswick Competitive Festival of Music, an international competition in classical composition in St. John, New Brunswick, earning the second place Aliant Award for the Intermediate Performer as well as the David and Joan Stillwell Memorial Award for outstanding vocalist in her category.
Saucier is a seventeen-year-old vocalist who has competed for ten years. Her singing teacher, Leola Dionne from Grand Falls, introduced Saucier to the festival.
"It's one of the larger, well-known festivals," said Saucier. "The amount of talent that was presented was absolutely phenomenal."
Dionne brought four of her students to the N.B. Competitive Festival of Music who competed in the intermediate and senior categories this year.
"We work together as musicians and in-between classes we're great friends, but there is that competitive edge," said Saucier.
Although the young vocalist has competed in this festival as a junior previously, this is the first year she competed in the intermediate category. In this festival, vocalists, pianists, and instrumentalists all compete for the same prizes in the final event, the Founder's Night Concert.
"It's always an honor and a pleasure to place. This being my first year [as an intermediate competitor], this is a huge step. It's rare to be able to do this in one's first year."
From her success in this competition, judges nominated Saucier to compete in the New Brunswick Provincial Music Festival in Sackville, New Brunswick on May 31 through June 2. In the upcoming festival, competitors will compete against others in their own disciplines.
"It's educational," she said. The adjudicators give competitors feedback on their performance. Saucier's father said the judges are all well-known in their fields, many of whom are also university professors or music teachers.
Saucier said next year she will be able to compete as a senior and is hoping to be nominated to the National Festival.
The high school student has high aspirations, saying, "I want to obtain my doctorate."
She hopes to become a professional opera singer.
Congratulations Ms. Saucier

Interview: Talking Scottish scenery, home style and summer with artist Sheila MacLean
In her landscape-based work, artist Sheila MacLean is inspired by the stunning Scottish scenery and its shifting light and reflective moods. As her artworks comes to ACHICA, Sheila tells us a little more about her work and play...
What do you love most about Scottish scenery?
My background is Highland-Hebridean so I am particularly drawn to the wild, rugged beauty of Wester Ross and the Outer Hebrides – ancient, majestic mountains, moorland and stunning beaches. I love the ever-changing light and the way it plays on the landscape, transforming it from one moment to another. I never tire of it. I have to admit that Edinburgh, where I now live, is a beautiful city with fabulous architecture and a great skyline so I feel like I have the best of both worlds.
How did you become an artist and did you always know art was your calling?
I've always been creative but art was not given the credit it deserved when I was at school. I graduated in Business Studies and later combined that with an interest in knitwear design, setting up my own business.
I used to sell small pieces of affordable art alongside my more expensive knitwear and it gradually took over. I've never looked back and take added pleasure from giving Gaelic titles to my work. That's another subject I wasn't encouraged to pursue at school!
What is your favourite media to work with?
I specialise in painting on silk as I like its free-flowing quality and feel that it captures the softness of the Scottish light.
Describe an average day as an artist and how you go about creating your works?
There is no such thing as an average day! My work is inspired by a sense of identity and place and often evolves as I work on it. I rarely paint in situ. Fragments of poetry, music and memories of colour, scent and people are usually the main triggers. Some days are more creative than others so I go between painting non-stop then doing admin type tasks.
What is your favourite personal artwork?
Alba 1 (Scotland 1). I have kept the original. It is a muted, moody image of distant hills and a beach foreground.
Who is your favourite artist?
My young daughter. Seeing the world through her art and eyes always amazes me. The unknown artists who created the exquisite Pictish stones scattered across Scotland also inspire me. These stones are centuries old and still full of mystery.
If you hadn't been an artist what line of work would you have gone into?
Furniture design perhaps. I love wood. Some of my earliest memories are of watching my grandfather building a rowing boat in his shed. They still evoke a wonderful smell of wood shavings and tar. Celtic Studies or Archaeology would have taken my fancy as well.
Describe your home style?
Relaxed, easy living. Wooden floors, light walls and an eclectic mix of old and new furniture, simple ceramics and memorabilia. I like things that are natural and easy on the eye. My walls double as gallery space for my art.
What do you hope to cross off your to-do list this summer?
Re-live some of my early childhood experiences with my daughter back home in Wester Ross and catch up with some friends before it's Christmas again and I am writing "Must catch up!" in their cards!
[Above: Latha Sitheil (Peaceful Day), Limited Edition Fine Art Print, Signed & Numbered, Unframed, 50x50cm by Sheila MacLean]
Describe your ideal weekend?
Long lie-in, then a walk with my family and young puppy around the local farmer's market. An egg's benedict brunch and a catch up with friends then a quiet, comfy corner with a good book.
Favourite holiday destination?
Wester Ross, Scottish Highlands. Abroad, we've enjoyed a few great times in rural Majorca.
[Image: visit-lochcarron.com]
When you're not painting what are your hobbies?
Walking, especially in the hills or on a beach; pottering around second hand shops; visiting galleries; Scottish traditional arts and cultural events. I recently took up fencing - a mad, spur of the moment idea but I enjoy it.
What is your signature dish?
