The summer night is like a perfection of thought. ~ Wallace Stevens (1879 – 1955)
Thank you to the ladies who answered my question about the Rush license plate in my last post. Obviously, I am not at all familiar with the band. If I was, the freakin' names of the band members on the license plate holder would have tipped me off. 🙂
In the good news department (and really, it's about time, it's been a rough year)…a couple of nights ago I took the dogs for their first walk since April! I probably could have walked them a couple of weeks ago, but I wanted to make sure I was healed enough to handle anything that might happen. And, I'm glad I did because Kishka flushed a rabbit and took off running. When she reached the end of her leash, I was able to stop her without causing any pain to my back or hip. Once the weather cooperates (it's been too hot and stormy to walk the past two days), I plan to get back in the routine of a daily walk with the girls. That will make all three of us very happy.
The newest project on the needles is coming along nicely:
I've also been knitting on the felted bag, but there's not enough progress to really show in a picture.
I've owned Kishka for 4.5 years and last night she did something she's never done before:
She slept on her back. I apologize for the completely undignified and unladylike angle of this photo. I knew that if I stood up and moved she would flip off her back.
Today was a gorgeous day here so the girls and I hit the open road:
Both of the girls love car rides. Samantha sits at attention the whole time:
Kishka enjoys the ride for a bit:
And then she starts looking bored:
Today the sky was bright blue and there were plenty of puffy clouds:
Warm The World is currently looking ahead to winter and our commitments totaling almost 3000 hats and scarves. Can you help us reach our goal? Full details can be found here.

Victoria faces days of heightened fire risk with the return of hot weather and little sign of rainfall relief for much of the state.
Fire resources have been mobilised to fight five continuing fires in expectation of warmer conditions lasting until Sunday.
A "severe fire danger" rating has been forecast for the south west and north central districts and a "very high" rating for the rest of the state, Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley said.
"The lack of rain has completely dried most areas of grassland and bush across Victoria," he said.
"This combined with heavy fuel-loads caused by rains and flooding across the state over the past couple of years means we are faced with a serious fire risk."
On Tuesday, the Bureau of Meteorology updated its drought statement to expand the area declared to be suffering severe rainfall deficiency over the past six months to include parts of the Mallee, Wimmera and the Riverina region of southern NSW. (See map here.)
"The simplest message is that east of the Divide, too much water; west of it, not enough," Karl Braganza, the bureau's head of climate monitoring, said. "The fuel is very dry out there and we've got another month or so of summer to go."
Sites recording record low rainfall over the past four months range from Mildura and Hamilton in the west to Epping and Strath Creek in the state's centre and Charlotte Pass in the Snowy Mountains.
Mercury rising
Temperatures are expected to reach the high 30s in much of northern Victoria on Wednesday. Melbourne is forecast to reach 35 degrees and clock daily maximums of 30 or above until Sunday.
While the state has endured severe spells of dangerous fire weather, authorities have been aided by the absence of sustained periods of windy conditions.
"So far that's been the saviour in terms of the really severe fire weather," Dr Braganza said.
Up to 250 fire fighters continue to work to contain the fire near Harrietville, with two major back-burn efforts aimed at protecting the Alpine town along with the townships at Dinner Plain and Mt Hotham. The fire has destroyed some 6500 hectares and has a perimeter stretching 80 kilometres, a spokeswoman with the State Control Centre said.
Another 140 are working on the Aberfeldy fire, which has burnt through about 74,000 hectares in central Victoria. That blaze has destroyed 21 houses and has a fire perimeter of 300 kilometres.

evidence from ArgentinaNarula, Rajneesh; Marin, Anabel (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: It is nowadays generally accepted that inward foreign direct investment (FDI) is crucial as a source of technological spillovers. One of the objectives of this paper is to review the evidence on the quantity and quality of human capital employed by domestic and foreign firms. We examine whether spillovers accrue from MNE activity, and provide a preliminary understanding of why MNE spillovers remain somewhat ambiguous, particularly in developing countries, paying particular attention to human capital development. Our analysis is supported by data from the Innovation Survey in Argentina. On the whole, MNE subsidiaries hired more professionals than domestic firms of the same size, possessed a more skilled labour force overall, and spent more on training than similar domestic firms. Subsidiaries in Argentina effectively have a higher labour productivity and pay higher wages. Yet, in terms of knowledge creation and utilisation, there was little to differentiate affiliates from domestic firms. While there is little evidence of widespread FDI spillovers, where spillovers did occur, it was where domestic firms demonstrated high investment in absorptive capacities. Our analysis also suggests that much of MNE activity - particularly after liberalisation - has been of the kind that by definition has limited opportunities for linkages and spillovers. These are activities in which MNEs may simply be able to generate economic rent from their superior knowledge of markets, and their ability to efficiently utilise their multinational network of affiliates. These assets are not generally easily spilled over to domestic firms. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6593

organizing the transfer of technology and knowledgeTryggestad, Kjell (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The aim of this work is to conduct a theoretical and empirical investigation of how the market institution performs in the context of technology and knowledge transfer. The notion of political markets, first introduced by Adam Smith, is extended to the artifacts of technology and their associated factor markets. The paper develops the notion of political markets by drawing upon an empirical case that reconstructs the chain of events related to the transfer of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). The case account for the various actors and institutions involved in the technology transfer, including the firms on both sides of the market, the government, the engineering-scientists, the economists, the union representatives and the machinists. It is argued that Natural markets is a special case of political markets in which technologies and hybrid entities and identities produce both the Natural market as well as its master – the pure technological relations. Neither the Natural market, nor Homo economicus can be brought into existence without pure technological relations. The existence of the latter is a necessary condition for the existence of the two former, as has already been recognized by neoclassical economics. The present work makes a constructive contribution to neoclassical economics in this respect, by describing and analyzing all the work of purification that enters into the task of bringing the necessary conditions into existence. Indeed, the process of purification that brings purified 3 technologies, natural markets and rational identities like homo economicus into existence, require huge investments, as do their maintenance. Technical knowledge turned out to be no exception. As the case suggests, technical knowledge was not just a given condition, but became a produced outcome. Yet, the process of knowledge production continued, transforming given technical knowledge in unexpected ways. Technical knowledge also became a negotiated outcome during the transfer of FMS. Hence, when market transaction takes place, knowledge it self can be transformed, and with it, the conditions for conducting the market transaction. So, the notion of political markets proposed here, suggests that knowledge can be both premises as well as an outcome of market transaction – as knowledge, its status and distribution - can be negotiated in the process. Instead of criticizing Homo economicus and (neo) classical economics, the notion of political markets thus proposed imply a constructive contribution to economics, notably to the core of neo classical economics: Through out this paper, it is argued with reference to both theory and own empirical fieldwork, that neoclassical economics participate in the successful purification of technological relations. Yet, in order to provide for an explanation of such a successful outcome, it is not enough to account for economists among themselves. As has already been suggested by Callon (1998) and the associated work on the anthropology of markets, also such material associations as computer based calculations and simulations of the macro-economy must be brought into the explanation. In more specific terms, the puzzling 'residual' in the neoclassical production function can be explained by now also taking into account the many subtle ways economics itself interfere in making up the residual. Neoclassical economics only have to refine their production function by adding to it the significance of material associations such as computer based calculations and simulations of the macro-economy. Done properly, a revised macro-economic model would emerge, capable of handling 'market failures' in new ways. Instead of attributing all failures to the market and no failures to technology, a more symmetric distribution of failures between the two entities would be allowed for. Further more, each time a 'residual' emerges from applying the revised model, it is no longer simply due to 'technical change' but also due to 'market failures'. Hence, such a revised macro-economic model not only allow neoclassical economics to maintain the distinction between technology and the market but also allows for the flexibility of including those entities previously excluded, that is, the material associations and inscriptions that participates in making up the distinctions between the two.

While Christmas is joyfully celebrated by Christians of all varieties, the option of celebrating the weeks before the big holiday have only caught on with Protestants in the last few decades. I didn't discover Advent until I was in college, and figured any religion that could make Christmas into a four week holiday (longer, if you count Epiphany!) was worth serious consideration.
Leave it to the Catholics to know how to plan a party. First, the colors change. The banners, altar cloths, and priests' garb changes to violet, white, then gold. In fact, the Church declares that Advent, the season of anticipation, is the beginning of the Church year. Mass begins with the lighting of the Advent candle as a reminder of the new liturgical season, sort of like Black Friday kicking off the holiday shopping season.
When my sons were young we set up a small Advent wreath to light at home and a German Advent Calendar with little paper doors to open each day until December 25th. You never know what little things will lead to. . .
Twenty years later the four of us were in Germany for Christmas discovering yet another Advent tradition at the Weinachtsmarkt or Christkindlmarkt, a holiday street market with roots in the Middle Ages usually held in the marketplace or on the steps of the local church. The Dresden Weinachtsmarkt is credited as being the oldest market (from 1434), but Vienna claims its Bautzen market of 1294 was the forerunner.
At churches throughout Germany. Austria, and Alsace, the First Sunday Of Advent marks the opening of the Weinachtsmarkt, The Christmas version of our Southern California church fiesta.
We stumbled on our first Weinachtsmarkt somewhere off the autobahn from Munich to Freiberg after a mind-and -body- numbing nonstop flight from Los Angeles. We pulled off the highway in desperate search for a reststop and refreshment, and suddenly found ourselves in front of a Catholic church where the universal sounds of of hammers and electric drills filled the air. A closer look showed that wooden stalls were being assembled, grills heated, and gluwein set to simmer.
We were first to sample the hot mulled drink and sausages, warming our hands around the cups as we watched assorted animals being led into the square for the Nativity stall. Children helped throw the hay for bedding, and stroked the animals. In the short time we were there, stringed lights came to life, the sound of hammers gave way to singing, and more people filled the market.
In Freiburg im Breisgau where our son lived we discovered double Weinachtsmarkts. The large central fair on the Rathausplatz (town square), and a smaller one set up in front of a smaller church.
Of course, the main attraction at these events is the food — sizzling wursts in all varieties, steaming mugs of hot spiced Glüwein, stollen, candies, lebkuchen. Stalls offered assorted Bavarian Christmas wares for sale, from handmade wooden cheese boards to knit scarves, to carved wooden ornaments.
In Strasbourg, we found the Alsatian version held in the square outside the Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg where Croque Monsier and soft macaroons were the snacks of choice instead of the traditional Bavarian wurst und .
In anticipation of Advent, I am dusting off our home Advent wreath and setting up the little German calendar. The Glühwein is already steaming.
Traditional Glühwein (Glow Wine)1 bottle nice full red wine1 lemon12 cloves1 cinnamon stick1/4 – 1/3 cup sugarPour the wine and sugar into a large saucepan and heat gently; do not boil. Cut the lemon in half and stick the cloves into one half. Thinly slice the other half. Add the lemon with cloves, and lemon slices, and cinnamon stick. Heat slowly until steaming hot. Traditionally served in glass mugs.

I want to say that something is trying to attain widespread use.

I want to say that something is trying to attain widespread use.
However, when I say widespread use, I really want to say that it is trying to be used by a few people (not necessarily that widespread).
Is there a word, or an expression for this?
Maybe you could use "gaining traction" (which implies that it is getting more and more users, though maybe not widespread yet), or common, broadly used, or well adopted.
9 votes for this short answer, I feel you deserve more! So here's some addition information:
In "gaining traction", the word traction is used figuratively, as "motive power provided for the action of drawing a thing over a surface". In this use, it is thus synonymous with momentum.
You could also say that the thing in question is "catching on", which is to say, it's in the early stages of (presumably) a lasting surge in usage.
Maybe Gain widespread use within a group / community?
For example "My website has widespread use within the UK Airsoft Community" Whist the UK Airsoft community is only a fraction of a percent of the entire population and almost everyone you ask will never have heard of the site, it is still in widespread use within the specified group.
I think this really depends on what is being used and who is using it.
If the few people are passionate or enthusiastic, perhaps: "has reached cult status" or "has a cult following"
It sounds like mainstream would fit. Something that is mainstream is acceptable to most people, but not necessarily adopted by many. Basically something is mainstream if when its use is not considered odd, when it is not specific to a fringe group.
To be clear, you might want to separate the thing from the producers or promoters of the thing. It is the company behind the toothpaste that is pushing for wider adoption of the product, rather than the thing itself "trying to attain widespread use" .
Another way to say this is a company striving for great market-share, or pushing for increased use among such-and-such demographic, for instance.
If your case is less about market-share, you might use [the people behind ProjectX are trying to] increase its user base, to widen adoption, promote its use, evangelize the product[icky marketing speak], spread the word about the product, etc..

Granderson, Burnett help Yankees beat Tigers 10-1
DETROIT (AP) – The bullpen was already busy. A.J. Burnett was in trouble – as many people expected – and the Yankees couldn't afford to take any chances.
With the bases loaded in the first inning of a must-win game for New York, Don Kelly hit a line drive to center field. Curtis Granderson took a step in and froze, then scrambled back to make a leaping catch.
First, a reprieve.
Now, Game 5.
"If I miss that one, there's nothing there but the wall back there and some ivy," Granderson said. "Who knows what could have happened at that point – especially with it being the first inning. We get behind in an elimination game, here in Detroit, the fans stay in it."
After helping his beleaguered pitcher out of an early jam, Granderson added another spectacular catch a short while later and Burnett ended up coming through when the Yankees needed him most. New York beat the Detroit Tigers 10-1 Tuesday night to send their AL playoff series back to the Bronx for a decisive fifth game.
Derek Jeter rebounded from a game-ending strikeout Monday, putting the Yankees ahead to stay with a two-run double in the third. Granderson also had an RBI double and New York broke it open with six runs in the eighth.
"We don't win that game tonight without defense," Burnett said.
Shaky all season, Burnett started only because Game 1 was suspended by rain Friday. He was on the ropes in the first after loading the bases on walks, but Granderson made his first sensational grab to prevent at least three runs.
Game 5 is Thursday night in New York and rookie right-hander Ivan Nova, who shut down the Tigers in the opener, will start against Doug Fister. Both came on as relievers Saturday after Game 1 began Friday night but was halted after 1 1/2 innings.
"He's been great for us all season long," Granderson said about Nova. "Don't expect anything different for him out there two days from now."
Saved by Granderson's glove, Burnett allowed a run and four hits in 5 2-3 innings before turning it over to the bullpen.
"I told you, his stuff is so good that he can shut you down. I thought we hit some balls pretty decent. He wasn't real sharp early. We had our shot," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "That was a big play in the first inning."
Granderson was on the Detroit team that went to the World Series in 2006, but the Tigers traded the popular outfielder to the Yankees as part of a three-team deal after the 2009 season.
Max Scherzer, a pitcher Detroit received in the deal, left his mark on this series with an impressive Game 2 start. Then it was Granderson's turn.
After hitting 41 home runs during the regular season to become an MVP contender, Granderson made his biggest impact Tuesday with his glove.
The Yankees didn't plan to start Burnett in this series, but they didn't have much of a choice after Game 1 took two days to finish. So they sent the erratic right-hander to the mound, hoping for the best.
"I was thrilled for him, but I was thrilled for us. What he did, 5 2-3 and only giving up that one run, a great performance. Struggled a little bit in the first inning and then really settled down nicely," manager Joe Girardi said. "I was proud of what he did. In a must-win situation for us, he pitched one of his best games of the year."
New York's worst fears appeared justified in the first. In fact, the Yankees' bullpen was already stirring when Burnett walked three hitters, one intentionally, to bring up Kelly with two outs and the bases loaded.
Kelly, a surprise addition to the Detroit lineup, hit a hard line drive to center field. Granderson appeared to misjudge the ball at first before backing up and jumping at the last second to rob Kelly of an extra-base hit.
"Don Kelly put a great swing on the ball to the middle of the field and hit it really hard," Granderson said. "Talking to (teammate) Andruw Jones, you know, probably one of the greatest center fielders, he said that's one of the toughest balls, too, because you don't know if it's going to fall in front of you or take off like it did, and somehow I was able to stay in the right spot and make a play on it."
Burnett is in the third season of a five-year, $82.5 million contract. He's been largely a disappointment, but he gave the Yankees the start they needed with the season on the line.
"Maybe it took me 25-30 to get loose, maybe. I don't know. I was just letting it go. And if it didn't go for a strike, it didn't go. I wasn't worried about it," Burnett said. "I was able to find somewhat of a rhythm after that. It was a little nerve-racking in the first. I hadn't been out there in a while."
Rafael Soriano relieved Burnett in the sixth, and Jhonny Peralta lifted a fly to left-center. Granderson came sprinting over and made a diving catch even more impressive than the first one, sliding across the outfield grass on his belly after making the grab. He appeared shaken up for a bit afterward, but stayed in the game.
"That was an interesting one because I was a little bit out of position partly because I'm playing the odds of where I think he's going to possibly hit it," Granderson said. "The ball hung up a little bit longer than we thought it was going to and I was able to go ahead and extend long enough to be able to catch it. I knocked the wind out of me. That's the reason why I ended up staying down so long."
Teammates stood and clapped in the dugout as Granderson trotted in. Burnett came over to give the center fielder a hug.
The Yankees had lost five straight postseason road games when facing elimination, starting with Game 7 of the 2001 World Series at Arizona. New York was eliminated in Game 4 at Detroit in the 2006 division series, but the Tigers couldn't pull off a repeat performance.
Jeter struck out to end Game 3 with the potential tying run on second, putting New York in a 2-1 hole in the series. He bounced back to give the Yankees an early boost Tuesday.
Detroit starter Rick Porcello hit Jorge Posada with a pitch to start the third, and Russell Martin followed with a single. Brett Gardner struck out looking and disputed the call with plate umpire Dan Iassogna for a bit, but Jeter hit a drive to deep center that speedy Austin Jackson wasn't able to run down. Both runners scored on the double to give New York a 2-0 lead.
After holding the Tigers hitless through three innings, Burnett allowed Victor Martinez's leadoff homer in the fourth. One out later, Peralta doubled down the left-field line, but Burnett struck out Alex Avila and Wilson Betemit to end the inning.
"Joe has had my back after all my ups and downs," Burnett said of Girardi. "He's always been positive."
Martin and Gardner led off the fifth with singles. After Jeter bunted into a force play at third, Granderson doubled to right, driving in a run.
Alex Rodriguez added a sacrifice fly to make it 4-1.
Porcello allowed four runs and five hits in six innings.
"I thought Porcello really threw the ball well. He made a bad pitch to Derek on the double," Leyland said. "The ball had good life. He actually pitched well, to hold that team down like he did."
The Yankees broke it open with six runs in the eighth. Detroit reliever Al Alburquerque balked in a run, and the Yankees added two more on singles by pinch-hitter Jesus Montero and Gardner.
Daniel Schlereth allowed a run later in the inning when his wild pitch bounced all the way over the screen, and Robinson Cano's two-run single sent fans at Comerica Park toward the exits.
"We let it get out of hand," Leyland said.
NOTES: Rodriguez, hitless in the series coming into the game, had a pair of singles. … Burnett, who threw 25 wild pitches during the regular season, was charged with another in the fourth. The ball actually bounced only a few feet away from Martin, but the catcher had a hard time finding it and Peralta went from second to third. … At 22 years, 9 months and 7 days old, Porcello became the youngest Detroit pitcher to start a postseason game. … Former Detroit closer Todd Jones took the mound in a Jose Valverde jersey before the game and threw the ceremonial first pitch, then hopped off and tried to mimic one of Valverde's dance moves.

According to Jorge Ebro of El Nuevo Herald, the Cubs have signed Cuban left handed pitching prospect, Gerardo Concepcion to a $7
million guaranteed contract. Concepcion, 18, was declared a free agent last week by Major League Baseball. It is believed he had several teams interested in him, before he ultimately chose to sign with the Cubs. Reports have the 6-foot-2 lefty featuring a low 90s fastball to go along with a curveball and change-up. Concepcion was named the Cuban National Series Rookie of the Year, posting a 10-3 record and a 3.36 ERA.
By all reports this is a nice signing for the Cubs. This will give them another young pitching prospect which they desperately need and should help the Cubs in the future. Reports have Concepcion with the potential to be middle of the rotation starter in the big leagues, but how his skills will translate to the major league level is yet to be seen, but at 18 there is a lot of time to mature and grow.
Might the Cubs sign another Cuban before spring training? It is possible, they, as well as several other teams have shown interest in outfielders, Yoenis Cespedes and Jorge Soler. With the first of the three Cuban players signed, when will the other two go and where?

I used to be all into US cosmetics before I switched to Japanese/Korean ones =D That was like 6 or 7 years ago... Physicians Formula, even though partly a kind of gimmicky brand, used to be one of my faves back then =)
I am going to write reviews on some US products over the next weeks and I hope you´ll enjoy them just as the Asian cosmetics ones =)
Now I am all into Asian cosmetics as you know but recently I fell for a bunch of products from PF as they looked:
-so pretty!
-according to reviews/youtube videos overall great quality
So I ordered a big bunch of items from the Shimmer Strips collection from Drugstore.com and even though the shipping turned out quite expensive it still was cheaper than getting the items I wanted from various eBay sellers.
Shipping via DHL to Austria was about the fastest I ever experienced.. the package left the USA on Thursday and by Friday noon I already could pick up the package from our local DHL office! That is faster than local mail lol.
The first item that caught my attention were the Custom Eye Enhancing Gel Cream Liners, sets of 3 gel liners per package designed to brighten up your eye color. So there are sets for green, brown, hazel and blue eyes. Of course rules are there to be broken so I got all the colors I liked (and I ordered some more and will review them next week or so). =)
The gel liners come in super pretty cubic little pots in stacks of 3. You can detach the liners from each other and rearrange them the way you like. Makes me play around with them like with Lego blocks :P The caps in each trio have different metallic colors so they can be found easily in your makeup drawer.
Each liner trio comes with a black shade with differently colored glitters. The difference isn´t really noticable though in my opinion so I wish not all trios would contain a black but anyway, I won´t complain =)
The texture of these liners all in all is absolutely divine...the liners are very pigmented, smooth and glide on like silk. Once they are applied and set they don´t budge or smudge and stay fresh all day long. Absolutely amazing, really!
Of course these don´t irritate my eyes and wear just comfortably.
The majority of the liners contain fine shimmer or have at least a slightly shiny finish.
Each liner trio comes with its own brush and actually it´s really nice and does the job very well!
Rating 5/5
The individual colors I got so far (couple more colors to follow soon in a separate review):
-Glam Green Eyes:
This was a special edition or new edition or something intended to be used with green eyes. It contains the sheerest liners and they are actually very suitable to be used for the lower inner eye lid (near the tear ducts) or to actually apply them as shimmery eyeshadows.
The colors are a metallic pale icy lilac, pale metallic greenish silver and a silvery deep gray (this is more different and a bit lighter than the other blacks in the other trios).
-Hazel Eyes:
This trio is made to brighten and enhance hazel eyes. The colors are a shimmery taupe (love this!!), a slightly shimmery pinkish purple and a black with slight pink shimmer. The pinkish purple is quite bright but pretty nonetheless.
-Brown Eyes:
This trio to enhance brown eyes is actually very similar to the one for hazel eyes however the colors are a bit deeper. There is a deep chocolate brown, a medium purple and a black with purple shimmer.
-Green Eyes:
This is the most fun trio in my opinion and is the trio for green eyes. The colors are a wonderful deep velvet moss green, a cool grape purple which looks almost blue and a black with green shimmer bits.
Here is an EOTD wearing the 2 fun colors from this trio (eyeshadows are from the PF Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow & Liner palette in Pop Green Eyes, to be reviewed soon). I only slightly smudged the green liner on, it´s much more pigmented than it looks in the pic!
As I said I absolutely adore these liners and the colors are real fun and a nice departure from the safer Japanese gel liner colors =)
Retail price in the US is around US$11 but I think these can be found on sale often. I got mine from Drugstore.com (international site) for around €6.50 per trio.
The products are fragrance-free, paraben-free, dermatologist approved and safe for contact-lens wearers and sensitive eyes.
Update: Here is part 2 where I reviewed a few more colors!

SAN DIEGO (AP) Chase Tapley scored 12 of his 19 points in overtime, including two 3-pointers and a layup off a steal, and No. 16 San Diego State held off Colorado State 79-72 Saturday night.
After Colton Iverson made two free throws for a 65-63 lead 57 seconds into overtime, Tapley re-energized the Aztecs (14-2, 2-0 Mountain West). He made a jumper for the Aztecs' first field goal since 7:43 left in regulation and then hit a 3-pointer for a 68-65 lead with 3:14 left.
CSU's Wes Eikmeier made a 3-pointer to tie it before the Aztecs regained the lead on JJ O'Brien's tip-in.
Tapley then stole the ball went coast-to-coast for a layup and then made another 3-pointer for a 75-68 lead with 1:18 left.
Jamaal Franklin had 23 points, including five 3-pointers, and Xavier Thames 14 for SDSU.
Eikmeier had 22 points for CSU (13-3, 0-1), which had its seven-game winning streak snapped. Iverson had 18 points and 11 rebounds and Daniel Bejarano had 13 points and 11 boards.
San Diego State led 59-46 after Tapley's jumper with 7:43 left. That was the Aztecs' last field goal in regulation.
Eikmeier made a layup with 6:42 left to start a 17-4 run that allowed the Rams to force overtime. He had nine points in the run, including a 3-pointer that pulled the Rams to 59-56 with 4:06 left.
Thames made two free throws for the Aztecs before Iverson made one of two for the Rams. Bejarano rebounded the miss and made a layup to make it 61-59.
Eikmeier made a long jumper to tie it at 61 with 1:38 to go and Thames made one of two free throws for a 62-61 lead. Iverson came up with a rebound but Eikmeier was whistled for traveling with 30.3 seconds left.
Franklin inbounded the ball off a Rams player and James Rahon was fouled by Dorian Green, making the first but missing the second. Green rebounded for the Rams and Iverson scored off a rebound to tie it at 63.
Franklin missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
San Diego State's first nine baskets were 3-pointers and the Aztecs made 10 of 18 3-pointers in the first half. The Aztecs' first two-pointer didn't come until 3:47 left in the first half, when O'Brien made a jumper, was fouled and converted the three-point play for a 37-23 lead. That was part of a 9-0 run that carried the Aztecs to a 41-23 halftime lead.
Franklin was coming off a big game in the conference-opening win at Fresno State on Wednesday night, when he had 20 points, a career-high 18 rebounds and a highlight reel play when he threw the ball off the backboard during a fast break, caught it in midair and dunked between two Bulldogs defenders.
Of SDSU's opening salvo of eight 3-pointers, Franklin had four, Thames three and Winston Shepard and Rahon one apiece.
Tapley made SDSU's 10th 3-pointer of the half to begin the half-ending 9-0 run. That run ended when Franklin had a slam dunk off a nice bounce pass from Thames.
Thames returned after missing the Fresno State game with a back injury
The Rams went on a 17-4 run to open the second half and pull to 45-40. Greg Smith and Hornung each made a 3-pointer and Eikmeier had five points, including a three-point play.
SDSU scored the next seven points to run its lead to 52-40.

The lowly Wizards beat the Miami Heat in a real-life basketball game last night. It was a nice moment for one of the most awful teams in the league, but for local DC sports reporter Michael Jenkins, it was so much more. A deliriously giddy Jenkins, who may or may not have been under the influence of narcotics, took the Wizards' victory as an opportunity to come completely unhinged during his segment on the local news, hitting Heat superstar LeBron James with a series of hilariously awful burns.
We hope LeBron can recover from being called "Sportsman Of The Weak" by a dude with a funny tie. That's a dis Skip Bayless would be proud of.

I'm going to give it a try as spelled out here, but have you ever marinated it for more than 15 minutes (like overnight) with success? I'm wondering how the flavors would be. Thanks.

When I marinated much longer (an hour or more) I found the salmon was way too mushy. I really didn't like the texture. For me, salmon is a pretty finicky meat - cook it too long and it's no good, too mushy and it's no good, unfresh and it's no good... but when you get it right - it's awesome.

Post subject: Grilled Salmon my way
Marinade: 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 Tbs lemon juice, 2 crushed garlic gloves, 2 tsps sugar. I use a ziplock bag. Marinate salmon no more than 30 minutes. Remove from marinade (discard marinade) and place on double thickness paper towel skin side down. Blot top with paper towel. Generously crack pepper on top. Let stand for a few minutes (I'm convinced this gives it a good crust).
Since I'm too lazy to fire up the grill, I usually preheat a good ol' cast iron pan and when its hot, put in a bit of olive oil. I cook the salmon starting skin side down, for five minutes (or less depending on thickness) each side. This is a foolproof and really, really, really good recipe!
I serve it with a salad made with greens, crumbled goat cheese, toasted pecans and dried cranberries with a homemade honey mustard vinagrette (also simple, foolproof and delicious).

Post subject: Great Recipe
I recently made this recipe and it turned out great. I'm definitely not usually a fan of normal baked fish, especially salmon, but I'm glad I tried this recipe. The glaze really gave it a nice flavor, much nicer, in my opinion, than that of plain salmon. Also, the flavor wasn't overbearing.
Just to note, I baked it in the oven(rather than grilling it), and it came out fine. I'd love to try this again when I have access to a grill.
keep up the great work.

My husband found this site and used this recipe to suprise me with grilled Salmon. It was delicious. It was his first time grilling fish so he just used blackened seasoning to be on the safe side. It was so good I ate it for three days. Now that he is more adventurous, he is going to try this Soy-Maple glaze. I am excited. Thanks for turning him into a gourmet cook.

Hey all - what a great site.. i catch wild salmon straight out of the American River here in Sacramento at the Nimbus Dam.... 15 - 30 pounders, and the fillets are the size of a book. Anyway - this recipe is the best there is. I've prepared fresh wild salmon every way you can think of....... complain and/or change the recipe all you want, but the original one is the bomb. Take it from a pro fisherman and bbq-man....or not.....

Post subject: maple Salmon
this recipe is very similiar to what i do but i take a 1/2cup soy sauce and 1/2 cup maple syrup and pour it into a big ziploc bag and cut up the salmon into single servings and put it into the bag too then marinate in the fridge for as little as half an hour to a full 24 (i cant tell the difference to much between 12 and 24 hours though) then i get the bbq nice and hot but turn the burners to a medium and wipe with some oil so the fillets don't stick then bbq for 3-5 min per side (trying to get some good grill marks on there to candy it ). makes a really tasty salmon but it is quite sweet (as i like it just plain and grilled with just a little bit of olive oil and herbs but for people that dont really like fish they love this)
As for the people that marinade the salmon in lemon this would effectively cook the salmon (with the acids).

Post subject: Teriyaki maple syrup grilled salmon
I just did something like this. I was more crude about it. Fired up the BBQ (medium heat) Put the (1 1/2" thick) salmon fillets on it. Sprinkled the exposed side with Kikkoman teriyaki sauce. Flipped them over after about 8 mins and did the other side the same way. Flipped them over one more time and poured about a tablespoon of maple syrup down the length of each fillet after sprinkling with ground black pepper. Cooked for about 2 mins more to let the maple syrup carmelize. It was good!

Post subject: Grilled Salmon is GREAT!
We got 4 salmon steaks and used this recipe. It was fabulous! We have 3 children and it was a hit with them as well! We live on a remote island and fish is abundant. We went to the fish market in search of Swordfish, but alas it was not in.............we only get in fresh daily and today they had salmon, so we tried this recipe and it was just wonderful. So this one is a keeper. Much more down to earth than a lot of other fancy smanchy recipes on line. Thanks a million................. The Frymier family

Post subject: Grilled salmon easy and great tasting
Salmon is an excellent tasting fish. If overcooked however it will be dry and tough. If pan frying you dont need to add any oil as salmon supplies its own. Salmon is great for grilling as it usually can hold its form without coming apart.
On a hot grill salmon should only take about 6 mins to cook. Thats about 3 1/2 - 4 mins on 1 side and an additional 2 mins or so on the flip side.
Salmon works best with minimal seasoning. ALWAYS rince your salmon and dry THEN season with salt and pepper before cooking. My faforite pan frying method would be to add 2 fresh sage leaves on each sides of the salmon and nothing else. This method works well with grilling also, but you will want to mince the sage leaves and press said leaves onto the salmon steak/filet.
When grilling or pan frying only flip ONCE. Flipping more than once can ruin the look of the steak/filet. If grilling always start on the best looking side of the salmon and put that side down on the gill to get nice looking grill marks. If desired, after about 2 mins rotate the salmon 90 degrees to get criss cross grill marks.
Again, 6 mins is about all it should take to cook a salmon steak or filet.
Try it, like it, eat it.
Salmon goes great with roasted potato's, wild rice, mashed potato's, roasted tomatoes, asparagus, brussel sprouts, and many other wonderful veggies and starches.
HOpe you enjoy.

Post subject: grilled salmon
I grilled this over charcoal in a Big Green Egg at about 400 degrees. I marinaded a 1 lb skin-on fillet for 15 minutes, put it skin side up on the grill and then flipped it after 3 minutes. I've found that for salmon, its cooked in this oven when the skin is almost completely charred - about 5 minutes. The flavor was wonderful, as others have found. The reason I'm posting this is to plug the Green Egg, which is a ceramic grill/smoker based on kamado ovens. This isn't a tail gater unit as the standard size weighs about 140lbs. Its claimed that its not as drying as a standard grill and thats been my experience - you would really have to go out of your way to mess up. I'm linking this recipe for the future .......

Post subject: "Traditional" barbeque variation
When watching the history of barbeque one lazy summer afternoon on the history channel, it mentioned that the original grills were piles of coal or wood that would be covered with damp edible leaves and herbs that would act as an easy clean up surface to cook the food on. I also had access to a large amount of sage (a small bush growing in an herb garden) a charcoal grill and a large slab of salmon. After starting the coals I covered the surface of the grill with a thick layer of the herbs and threw some on the coals for good measure because I like smoked salmon. I then put the slab of salmon on the herbs whole, skin side down, and let it cook about 12 minutes (when it was cooked through on my fire). The easiest part was removing the fish from the grill because I could simply pick up the herbs with some tongs and everything lifted as a unit. The herbs got a little burnt but made an impressive presentation as a mat under the fish and nicely removed the skin (as it was stuck securely to the herbs) which although very nutritious isn't very tasty unless nicely crisped on a broiler. The flavor was wonderful and I've successfully repeated this method. Good luck!

Post subject: Grilling Salmon on the George Forman
When I don't have access to a grill ... I've had great success using my George Forman to grill fish.
1) Heat up the George Forman to full heat
2) Take your FROZEN salmon, rinse under cold water to remove any ice.
3) Brush the FROZEN salmon with olive oil on both sides.
4) Place the FROZEN and oiled salmon on the hot George Forman grill and close the lid.
5) Cook for 7-10 minutes, turning as needed to ensure the sides get cooked.
The FROZEN salmon ensures the fish stays moist during cooking, the olive oil creates a perfect crust. It's delicious!
Also ... for the perfect Medium Rare steak on a George Forman grill, butter and season both sides of a THAWED steak ... place on a hot grill, close the lid and cook for 7 minutes.

Prolonged Period
When Hemorrhoids Shrink
Like most problems, if you ignore them, they won't go away. In fact, generally speaking, it's rather safe to say that the problem will only worsen with time. The same is true of hemorrhoids. If you have ignored them for a prolonged period of time, your hemorrhoids will most likely, at one time or another, get out of control. That is when you not only need a long-term hemorrhoids treatment, you also may want to find out how to first make your hemorrhoids shrink in order to quicken the process.
If you can make your hemorrhoids shrink, it will help your cure to work faster and your relief to come sooner. However, making your hemorrhoids shrink is not necessarily the easiest hurdle to conquer. There are many different theories on how to do it. One way to do it is to perform a retention enema. A retention enema means you retain a small amount of the mixture in the colon overnight.
While it is definitely not the first choice for many, a retention enema is good for many reasons. It helps hemorrhoids shrink and is used to reduce swelling. It also fights infection and relieves the pain and bleeding of hemorrhoids. This specific retention enema should take the soreness out of the area as well as to act as an astringent to make your hemorrhoids shrink.
The formula for a retention enema to help your hemorrhoids shrink is to pour one cup boiling water over two teaspoons powdered White Oak Bark, and two teaspoons powedered Goldenseal and let them steep. Next, strain them and let them cool. Add one or two ounces and retain overnight for internal hemorrhoids. Lay a pack of tea on your external hemorrhoids.
While this retention enema will help your hemorrhoids shrink, it is unfortunately an uncomfortable process. Many choose to avoid such and simply use an oral natural hemorrhoids remedy to make their hemorrhoids shrink as well as to cure them long-term. This oral hemorrhoids natural remedy is highly recommended for lasting treatment and relief.

2014 Dodge Durango First Look
Chrysler's Three-Row SUV Gets Even Better for 2014
It wasn't all that long ago that Dodge made the Durango a unibody SUV -- only three years ago, in fact. In 2010 the all-new 2011 Durango went on sale with a better look, new engines, and fewer compromises than people expected. The SUV still carried three rows of people, could tow up to 7400 pounds with the V-8 (and still came with a V-8), and had an improved chassis and suspension, which helped with ride and handling. The benefit was making the vehicle more fun to drive without losing the Durango's famous capability.
So now, a brief three years later, the Durango is getting spruced up, receiving updates similar to those in the 2014 Grand Cherokee. When it comes to performance, the most notable change is the use of the new ZF eight-speed automatic transmission behind the 3.6-liter V-6 and 5.7-liter V-8. This is a version of the same transmission found in the current Ram and the 2014 Grand Cherokee. In the Durango, it will be controlled through a dial on the dash -- just like in the Ram. This is the first SUV in its class to get an eight-speed, and that change alone is said to improve fuel economy in the Durango by 9 percent. There is also an Eco Mode for 2014.
The vehicle gets new styling tweaks as well. We have seen an evolution of Dodge exterior cues over the last few years, and many of those visual features are coming to the new Durango. The front end uses a new fascia with a floating crosshair grille. Flanking the grille are new projector headlights, and LED running lights are available. There are three different grilles: a chrome surround with black "Split-Hex" texture (SXT, plus Limited, a new trim level for 2014), body-color surround with "Pro-Form" pattern (Rallye, R/T), and chrome surround with bright chrome "Cross-Hex" grille (Citadel). The Rallye and R/T also use several unique features, such as black headlight bezels, and body-color wheel flares, sills, and fascias. The R/T was lowered 20mm. Projector foglights are now standard on all Durangos, and a roof rack side rail system is standard on Limited and Citadel models.
The rear end was also redone for 2014. It now uses Dodge's "racetrack" taillights, which have 192 LEDs. The tailgate's hatch release was redone; now there's a soft-touch button in the recess. In addition, the rear fascia was redesigned to look cleaner and more sculpted, yet makes the trailer hitch look like it's more integrated with the rear-end design. There are also seven all-new wheel designs, and every trim level gets at least one new wheel.
The Durango's interior was redone, adding attractive touches and more convenience and technology for driver and passengers. Sitting in front of the driver is a new gauge cluster that uses a 7-inch TFT digital cluster. According to Dodge, there are more than 100 ways the driver can customize the cluster. The new steering wheel comes standard with paddle shifters. Because the transmission is now controlled with a knob, the paddles are the only place where you can shift manually. The center stack has changed as well, with new 5- and 8.4-inch Uconnect touch screens. While climate and entertainment features are controlled through the screen, there are also redundant knobs and buttons below the screens. Navigation has been updated with new 3-D maps. There's even a media hub with a slot for an SD card, a USB port, and an aux jack, and an available feature that makes a Durango a Wi-Fi hotspot. Bluetooth is available, and apps such as Pandora and Slacker would be safely accessible. Blu-ray screens are optional for second-row passengers as well.
There is a lot of technology in the 2014 Durango in the form of safety -- there are more than 60 safety features in all. There is a theft alarm notification that will tell an owner via text or email if the alarm is going off on their Durango. You can listen and respond to texts while driving. New for 2014 are the forward collision warning system with crash mitigation, and adaptive cruise control that can bring the vehicle to a complete stop. It also has optional blind-spot monitoring, helpful when changing lanes, and Rear Cross Path detection, handy in parking lots.
Dodge has shown that it has no intention of resting on its laurels with the new Durango. This is a vehicle that already provided a fairly complete package; now it looks like it's getting even better. Production is set to begin in the third quarter of 2013 at the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Detroit, Michigan.

|Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang's Remarks on the Ship Collision in the East China Sea
Q: According to reports, a Panama-registered oil tanker and a Hong Kong bulk cargo ship collided in the East China Sea. Do you have more information? What has China done in response to that?
A: According to our information, on the night of January 6, 2018, a Panama-registered oil tanker collided with a Hong Kong bulk cargo ship 160 nautical miles east of the Yangtze Estuary. After the collision, the oil tanker caught fire and the bulk freighter sustained damage.
The Chinese government attaches great importance to this and has sent several vessels to assist in the search and rescue efforts. So far some of the crew members have been rescued while the rest remains missing. In the meanwhile, China has dispatched specialized cleaning vessels to the scene to prevent secondary disasters. Now the cause of the accident is still under investigation.

For the past year, I've done some mindless freelance writing for extra money. I've been debating the value of this for months, and today, I quit.
email from project manager:
Good Morning,
Last Wednesday I sent out an email with the subject line "Quality of Content." This was an important email, and towards the end I asked all of you to reply, confirming that you read and understand the email. You are receiving this email because you did not reply to that email.
I am giving everyone to the end of the workday today to reply to that email (do not respond to this email), and tomorrow I will be giving the list of names to my department manager. If you no longer write for us, I would appreciate a quick reply letting me know you should be taken off of the writers list.
my response:
Thanks for the reminder email, and sorry for not responding sooner. I recognize your frustration in managing a remote workforce of freelancers–I have no idea how you do it–sounds like it's as enjoyable as wrangling stray, deranged cats.
For the past few months, I've tried to assume positive intent with the company's repeated emails, the tech issues with Process Maker and the overall disorganization in all processes. That being said, it was your last note that's ultimately pushing me to cease my working relationship with [company name deleted, I'm not a total jerk].
I'm going to make like Jerry Maguire and take off with my fishbowl in tow. I'd love to shout, "Who's coming with me?" as I virtually stomp out, but it lacks emphasis over email.
All kidding aside, you guys are growing quickly doing great work for clients, and I hope to return to writing for you at some point. Right now, however, I've decided life's too short to deal with the added work and worries. Maybe it's because it's a national day of remembrance, and the timing of your message was unfortunate. Or maybe it's because I doubt that on my deathbed I ever would lament not writing enough press releases. Either way, you and I have never met, likely never will, and this is entirely too lengthy of an email for its purposes. Even as I'm writing this, I'm still not sure why I feel compelled to share any of this with a stranger, other than the fact that it will make an entertaining post on my blog tonight.
I have a journalism degree from a prestigious j-school and an MBA, and I've worked in communications for government agencies, elected officials and Fortune-500 companies. I've had my writing published in lots of national websites, even the holy grail of Huff Post. Nevertheless, I had some absurd urge to cross a self-imposed paid-freelance-writer barrier. I'm not sure what I was trying to prove, or if I succeeded, but the process has shown me that paychecks don't equate to quality writing, and that writing for pleasure will always trump assignments. Frankly, even writing this email has been more fun than any of the PR content I generated over the past year.
I engaged in this venture for a new step in personal growth (and some extra cash), but it's slowly become something I dread. Like homework. Or a dentist appointment. Something that's important and beneficial but far from enjoyable. I thank you for the opportunity and wish you luck with future writer wrangling.
Please accept this as my formal peacing out. Hope the subtle humor at least made you smile and not want to slam your head into your desk. If you even read this far.

While we can all agree that email spam is a troublesome problem, the real threat lies in the risk that email spam presents when combined with more nefarious elements, such as malware distribution and phishing attempts. Stemming the flood of potentially harmful spam has been a thorny issue for many email providers, who have struggled to provide effective countermeasures to stem the ever-rising flood of spam. This struggle has all the hallmarks of a never-ending arms race, and email providers needed something to help them turn the tide -- or at least slow down the rising waters.
That assistance came in the form of the newly-announced Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance specification, or DMARC. My colleague Paul Thurrott covered the DMARC news yesterday, but I wanted to add some additional thoughts to the discussion. According to a description on the DMARC working group website, DMARC promises to give email providers like Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, and others the tools they finally need to turn the tables on email spam by helping senders "improve the mail authentication infrastructure so that all their mail can be authenticated."
The DMARC specification does this by leveraging the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) mechanisms to help email receivers and senders make sure that the emails they're exchanging are legitimate, authorized communication. SPF relies on the Domain Name System (DNS) to let owners designate computers that are legitimate email distribution points, while DKIM establishes a connection between an email message and a domain -- by attaching a domain name identifier (along with some cryptographic techniques) -- to help ensure that a message is really from who it appears to be sent from.
While it would be optimistic (and naive) to assume that DMARC will end email spam, it will at least give email providers some common ground and a useful framework to help them limit the scope of email spam. I've blogged a bit about the need for more end-user security training before, and the DMARC initiative won't obviate that need. Progress is sometimes measured in baby steps, and DMARC is a very positive step in the right direction.
Do you think DMARC will help slow the onslaught of email spam into our collective inboxes? Add a comment to this blog post or contribute to the discussion on Twitter.

Bringing new developers up to scratch
I talked many times about getting involved with developing Ubuntu and how it can seem daunting and that there's much to learn. When I talked to contributors who had reached the critical point where they understood what they can do, who they can talk to and how the processes roughly work, most of them said that three things helped them to get to the point:
Code review
Today I want to talk about code reviews. It's probably the most straight-forward way to learn by osmosis: you easily pick up conventions, distinctions which are made and which processes to follow.
Everybody has to go through code reviews, no matter which team they are in, which company they work for or when they joined the project. Up until a point they get their developer application approved and get upload rights.
This is the reason why code reviews in Ubuntu are so important and why we should constantly strive for timely replies and decisions on review requests.
Sponsoring Queue
The sponsoring queue is reviewed by developers with upload rights. Sometimes it's very easy to approve a request and upload the package, sometimes it takes a bit longer, especially when you have a comment ping-pong between the reviewer and the patch author.
We came up with a number of points in our documentation which should help keeping the queue manageable:
For Bugs fixing small details, you could do the following:
- Ask the contributor to forward the patch upstream.
- Open an empty upstream bug task.
- Mark the Ubuntu task as 'Fix Committed'.
- Unsubscribe ubuntu-sponsors, or mark the merge proposal status as "Work in Progress". (Be sure to tell the contributor to reverse the process.)
This will get the review item off the list for the time being and once we can import the code from upstream, it will get fully closed.
We also get requests which are not suitable for the current release period. In this case you could:
- Let the contributor know that the patch is not suitable for the current release period.
- Unsubscribe ubuntu-sponsors, or mark the merge proposal status as "Work in Progress". (Be sure to tell the contributor to reverse the process.)
- Subscribe yourself to the bug report.
- Milestone the bug to 'later'.
- Visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/people/+me/+bugs/?field.milestone%3Alist=196 once the new release opens and upload the fix.
This are just some points which help to keep things on the queue relevant.
Patch Pilots
From the Bazaar team we borrowed the scheme of "patch pilots". Here's how they explain how it works: "The word pilot is in the sense of a maritime pilot: we help patches come through congested waters safely in to harbour. The main thing to watch is the bzr active reviews page in Launchpad. When you're piloting, put some concentrated effort into helping people have a good and satisfying experience contributing to Bazaar. Just how you do that is up to you.
Instead of trying to review each and every bit in the queue - sometimes there are packages you know less about and where you can't make a decision for example - you try to help nudge the patch along. You help to talk to upstream about it, try to find somebody who can make a decision, etc.
Canonical engineers with upload rights who work on Ubuntu are expected to spend an hour per week on the Ubuntu sponsoring queue, so everybody's on the hook for having a piloting shift 4h every four weeks. This usually works much better, as you have an extended period of time where you do nothing else. Current patch pilots can be seen in the #ubuntu-devel channel topic.
Up until now I mostly noticed Canonical engineers who did piloted. If you have upload rights and are interested, let me know and I can add you to a preliminary schedule, so you get a reminder mail and you can try it out and see if you like it.
Please all help making this work even better. :-)

The White House is considering Google X vice president Megan Smith for the country's chief technology officer, according to reports.
Smith, 49, is "a top candidate for the role," according to Bloomberg News. She would be the third CTO ever, following Aneesh Chopra and Todd Park. Park, who helped fix the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) website vacated the position recently.
Both Google and the White House declined to comment on the story to Bloomberg News.
U.S. & World
The chief technology officer is a "White House chief geek-in-residence" and advises about technology.
Smith, who joined Google in 2003, serves as the vice president of Google X, Google's innovative technology lab that has created drones and self-driving cars. Before that she was the chief executive officer of Planet Out, a gay and lesbian site.
President Barack Obama has always had a soft spot for Silicon Valley. Whether it's stumping for donations or enjoying tech admiration, Obama seems to be attracted to those in the region, so Smith would be a solid choice.

Donner Canadian Foundation was established in 1950 by
William H. Donner. In the mid-1960s, the Foundation began to
focus on specific program interests, among these, research
on public policy. The Donner family chose Canada's
centennial year, 1967, to embark on a course of professional grantmaking that has contributed well over $150 million to
almost 2,500 projects across Canada and around the world.
addition to ongoing funding of public policy research, the
Foundation supports environmental, international
development, and social service projects. Every year, the
Donner Book Prize honours the best book on Canadian
public policy, and the Foundation's lecture series features some of the world's most influential speakers. The
Foundation is guided by a Board of Governors composed of
representatives of the Donner family and prominent Canadians
from a variety of fields.

For Lakers fan, there's always been one ultimate debate -- would you rather smell like Lamar Odom or his wife Khloe Kardashian?
Now you don't have to choose.
The reality show power couple has announced a new fragrance: "Unbreakable."
Sports news
Wait, it gets better. The scent is unisex.
"There's something sexy about a couple sharing a scent," Kardashian says in the commercial.
Is there? We're not really sure, but Kardashian seems pretty confident about it.
"It took a long time to create what we both wanted and would wear and love, and we found the perfect one... Someone just asked me, 'What are you wearing?' and I love that I can say it's our fragrance," Kardashian told E! online.
According to Perfumania, the scent combines "Italian bergamot, sparkling clementine, Asian saffron, green apple, African geranium, sheer jasmine, lily of the valley, juicy red fruits, texas cedarwood, tonka bean, vanilla bean and dark chocolate."
A commercial for the fragrance is available on YouTube, but fair warning, the two lovebirds show a lot of skin and a lot of groping. Watch at your own risk.
Unbreakable will be available nationwide at Perfumaria stores and on Perfumaria.com.

I have a passion for food. And I have an even greater passion for breakfast food. Wether it's prepping, making sauces, waffles, pancakes, fried eggs, scrambled, home fries, green chili covered breakfast burritos, bacon, and biscuits…I LOVE IT ALL!
Then there's Eggs Benedict, no first meal has a sense of class and sophistication like Eggs Benny. So I offer to you my first two masterful examples fashioned by two of our finest local King's of the Cooktop. First up: Linguica Eggs Benedict by Chris DeWolfe.
Sweet baby Jesus, just look at that!
Pure Portuguese porky perfection lies just below soft egg pillows draped with the hollandaise of the gods!
If your yolk doesn't ooze out like a river of gold, you've been betrayed and bamboozled! And if you don't like an oozing yolk, you have failed as a human.
Next up is Two Sisters, home of some very impressive breakfast masterpieces. Most of the time you will be pampered by great food and tons of laughs with this young man, Aaron Poole, and I mean tons of laughs!
Aaron has prepared perhaps the greatest combo in Eggs Benny history. May I present to you, Eggs Benedict Surf and Turf!
What's under there you ask? The "Surf" comes by way of the Fisherman's Benny Fish Cake, and the "Turf" travels to your plate from the Emerald Island of Ireland, the Homemade Corned-beef hash! That right there is what dreams are made of folks, dreams.
I should mention the masterful home fries, but I think you can smell them from where your at. Now go, venture out, eat well, and report back your findings of true love.

Global warming is in full effect but that's not going to stop the 32/Etnies team… Here's a quick glance at what our riders are up to.
Fredrik Austbo gets back in the swing of competing and snowboarding everyday. He recently competed in the O'Neill Pro-Freestyle event in Avoriaz, France (February 3, 2007). Placing 7th in the quarter pipe event. He said his knee is feeling super solid and he's stoked to get his shred on. Freddy will be heading out to the states to start filming with Standard films crew and hopes to spend most of his season traveling all over North America.
Dustin Craven has been on a mission ever since the season has started. He's been on the road filming with the rest of the Capita crew hitting up spots all over Calgary and the Interior BC. Who knows where he'll end up with in the next several days. Maybe in your neck of the woods…
John Jackson headed straight to Whistler after the X games to get back into filming and shooting photos. He'll be heading to the secret spot some time this week to explore and continue filming then off to the interior BC to put in his time with the Heli.
Markku Koski was feeling great and doing well at the X games but during his first run of the qualifying round, his binding completely blew out causing him to slam into the second wall of the pipe. It was pretty unexpected and Markku took it like a champ. He said he suffered a charley horse to his upper leg but that didn't stop him. He had the binding strap replaced and went straight up to the top of the pipe. After taking his second run he missed the final by a few points. Better luck next time Markku… Shortly after the X games, Markku and Stian Solberg ventured out to Southern Colorado to film for the Stepchild team video and shoot photos. They managed to get in a few good days of hiking and building kickers. Be sure to check out the teaser at: www.stepchildsnowboards.com

On a mission… Tyler Lepore has been busy filming with the Capita crew. You can peep the teaser at www.capitasnowboards.com Tyler will be heading to Mt. Baker for the Legendary banked slalom this weekend. Speaking of being on a mission, Tyler and a few others will be making their way to an exclusive area sometime in the near future. The plans have been put in place but as long as the stars are aligned they'll be on a mission. More info to come as their plans come together.
The injured list…
Janna Meyen reported two torn ligaments in her ankle and a badly bruised bone. While practicing her switch 900's at Keystone, Janna took a flat landing on her back foot causing an uncomfortable pain which took her out of the X games. She reported positive feelings and will be concentrating on physical therapy for the next few months. Good luck Janna! Keep up the PMA!
Hamp-man or shall I say Hampus Mosesson gave it his all during the 11th winter X games. Hampus didn't quite make the podium but he definitely showed the world he was capable of handling any kind of obstacle. He's back in Salt Lake City, UT planning a route to head to Tahoe or Canada where he'll be filming with Mack Dawg.
Multi-Tasker Leanne Pelosi is keeping herself quite busy these days. After placing 6th in the women's slope style at the X games she bounced back to Whistler where she went right into filming and shooting photos for her film project, Runway films. Later this weekend she'll be heading to the Legendary Banked Slalom at Mt. Baker, WA. Be sure to check out her teaser at: www.runwayfilms.com
Benji Ritchie will continue to film with Whiteout films this season. He's been on the road filming and shooting photos between Whistler and the interior BC. He's on his way to Mt. Baker where he'll challenge the roster of shredders hoping to knock out some of the big time players.
Back to the states… Stian Solberg made it back to California not too long ago where he purchased a brand new truck (Nissan Titan) and drove straight out to Utah to pick up his brothers sled. He met up with Markku Koski in Aspen and shortly after the X games drove to Southern Colorado to start filming and shooting photos. He's back in Utah at the moment waiting for news on the latest conditions. Be sure to check out www.stepchildsnowboards.com for the Stepchild teaser.

The Great North West is where Wille Yli-Luoma can be found. Wille's been back and forth from Mt. Baker to Portland clocking in some mileage. He'll be headed to Mt. Baker for the banked slalom along with the rest of the North west crews. He's been working on getting his work visa renewed so he'll be heading up to Canada some time next week to meet with officials. It's also Wille's birthday Friday February 9th, Happy Birthday Wille!
That's it for now. Till next tim…
Pray for SNOW!

Freezing fertility: New medicine makes postponing parenthood possible
American Society for Reproductive Medicine lifts "experimental" label from egg freezing
Having a child, not having a child, when to have a child -- all very personal decisions, and for a growing number of women, waiting longer to have a baby has become a trend.
While many women often feel like they're living in a race to beat the biological clock, advanced medical breakthroughs are making it possible for more women to postpone parenthood.
Melanie Bradshaw got married and was ready to have kids, but that walk down the aisle ended in divorce.
Now Bradshaw, like so many other women in their mid 30's, is turning to her doctor for help.
"I didn't want to give up that dream of still having that family and having the kids and everything," said Bradshaw.
The 34-year-old underwent a procedure at a fertility clinic to harvest and freeze her eggs.
"For me, it's empowerment and it's made me a lot stronger," she explained.
In the fall of 2012, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine lifted the "experimental" label from egg freezing.
Now, fertility experts across the country are reporting a surge in women choosing to put their eggs on ice, hoping to preserve their fertility for the future.
We pulled the numbers and found only about 2,000 babies have been born from frozen eggs worldwide, mainly via donation programs.
But Dr. Eric Widra with the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology says the technology is still considered young
"Eggs are frozen from young women for a short period of time, so we don't yet know whether freezing eggs from older women, or for a longer period of time, will have consequences. We don't think it will, but we don't know yet."
Most of the women buying in to this procedure are in their late 20s to early 40s.
Psychologist Dr. Joann Galst says there are a few reasons for that, the main one being time to focus on life goals like finding a partner, finishing school or straightening out finances.
But Galst wants these women who are working to establish their careers to know one thing about putting their family on hold.
"Even with high quality eggs, it's not a guarantee that there will be implantation and the live birth that results, which is the ultimate goal," said Galst.
As for Bradshaw, she hasn't stopped looking for Mr. Right. In fact, she says it will help her find him.
"I think that it's taken the pressure off of my shoulders, and it allows me to go and date and meet people," said Bradshaw.
Freezing your eggs isn't cheap, and it's not typically covered by insurance.
With a price tag above $10,000, experts say some women are starting to add egg banking to their list of financial goals, while others are starting a separate savings account for the surgery.
