I've started clearing the back part of our property. We've neglected it since we bought the place, aside from trimming down a few trees and my husband's foray back there to dig out some of our wild roses.
As a result, it's absolutely awful. The poison ivy has spread, but it's only one of approximately 7 vines that threaten to take over our yard. The others are Virginia Creeper, Bittersweet, Wild Clematis, swamp dewberry, wild grapes, and ground ivy. Did you know Virginia creeper causes a rash in your skin if you're one of those "sensitive people?" Neither did until I looked it up after getting a huge rash when I decided to pull some up Willy nilly. Wild clematis I originally mistook for poison ivy since poison ivy can also climb, also occasionally looks like a mitten and alternates on the vine. Except poison ivy doesn't flower and I saw the wild clematis when it was flowering. Since the clematis had grown to cover several sapling, bushes and felled tree trunks, this was a huge relief. Less of a relief is the fact that the variety we have growing here just happens to be the kind that also causes a rash, though more temporary than the other two. Bittersweet, though invasive, wild grape, and swamp dewberry are probably the least distressing of all the vines. No rashes, they have yet to cover everything. They're fine. I still want to get rid of them, however.
Ground ivy on the other hand…
If anyone knows of a more useless vine, let me know. Nothing eats ground ivy. In fact, it's toxic to some animals. It grows like 60 cm a year, releases about a billion seeds from its tiny purple flowers, and will utterly and completely take over your yard. Kind of like it's attempting to do to mine.
Like its name suggests, it covers the ground. Aggressively, choking out anything else that might want to grow there. You could use an herbicide to get rid of it, but me being a hippy, I don't want to. But there doesn't seem to be an easy way to get rid of it, other than spraying it or covering it with black plastic (which I've done with the poison ivy). The internet suggests that a solution of borax will kill it. However, it also says that if the solution isn't exactly the correct percentage, it will kill everything and not just the ground ivy. I don't really want to kill everything. Just the ground ivy. Then again, it's not like i couldn't just plant more grass.
In areas thick with it, you can just roll it up like a carpet, which I have done. You find where the vines end and just pull them up and roll, revealing the dirt and bugs underneath. This is weirdly enjoyable, especially for the chickens if they happen to be around. Of course, any plants that happen to be nearby will also be pulled up, but if the area is just ground ivy, not a problem.
It is, however, time consuming. I hate ground ivy.
At least it doesn't cause any rashes and has no thorns. Unlike the wild blackberries and wild roses that have sprouted up everywhere. The wild roses are particularly bad. You have to dig them out with the roots or else they're just come back and their thorns are much, much bigger than bramble thorns.
My husband doubts they're actually wild roses and thinks they're more of a thistle. I've searched the internet and they don't look much like thistle at all. But unlike the wild roses I see when googling, these never blossom. These wild roses are all thorn and no flower. Could there be a more disheartening plant?
Sometimes I think previous owners must have had a garden back there because along with the wild blackberries, there are quite a few black raspberry plants growing. These too have spread, their long canes bending over and sticking into the ground to start next year's crop. They're easy to differentiate from the blackberries with their frosty blue color. The berries also lack the inner seed, which I prefer over black berries. Due to their wild and uncontrollable nature, I'm pulling them, too, although it may be stupid: I've ordered more raspberries to plant in the same area in the spring: red, yellow, and black. Why not just keep the free ones? I don't know. it I've heard you're supposed to rip out the old ones after a few years and plant new ones. I don't know why, it's just what I've been told. So I'm pulling these up by the roots as well.
All these things I clear, I toss over the steep embankment in the back of the upper part of our property. It falls off quite suddenly into the woods, where I don't really want to go. My goal is to build up all the cut brush and let it rot, eventually building up the dirt so that we maybe have a nice gentle slope into the woods instead of a sudden drop off. Aside from that, I've also decided it's my low-tech carbon sink. Where previously we would have burned all these things I've cut down, I'm now just throwing it there to let it slowly rot. No more carbon suddenly released into the atmosphere! Go me!
Instead, it will slowly be released there except for whatever stays in the soil. I don't know. But it feels productive and I like seeing any sort of improvement.

Sgt. Peppers lonely hearts club band, an homage to Crowley and freemasonry? Don't flip your Beatles wigs – just hold on tight and hear me out. I'm sure most here are very aware that The Beatles (at least certain members of the Beatles) admired a Mr. Aleister Crowley. He was featured on the Sgt. Pepper album at the specific request of Paul McCartney. Seems as though if you look through "kaleidoscope eyes" (mirroring, the twisting and turning of the image) at the cover of Sgt. Pepper, all kinds of things can be seen. Perhaps the Beatles (mainly John and Paul and most likely with a little help from their friends Sir Peter Blake and Groovy Bob Frasier) purposely made the Sgt. Pepper album as an homage to Crowley- whom they admired. It is hard to "accidentally" insert these images into the cover art, this set is seemingly specifically constructed so that certain things would be shown when applying a mirror to certain areas of the image. I refer to this as the "Sgt. Pepper code" and it can be interpreted with a bit of insight and esoteric knowledge.
"Imitation is the highest form of flattery." Charles Caleb Colton 1830.
"At least Crowley was, as young James Laver had observed, 'safely dead' this time. Seventeen years before he had actually faked his death, leaving his cigarette case and hand-written suicide note on the clifftop above the crashing waves at Boca do Inferno (Hell's Mouth)…… It may have been to get the many creditors off his back and improve the sale of his books; it may have been part of his long running efforts with British Intelligence, ……There were rumors in the French Press that he had been murdered by assassins from the Vatican……Crowley in fact had slipped across the border into Spain, where he took great delight in reading the accounts of his suicide in the newspapers."– Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune: The Logos of the Aeon and the Shakti of the Age by Alan Richardson
"Pessoa, the celebrated Portuguese poet, followed up by feeding suggestive ideas to the local papers concerning the occult symbols that Crowley had used to decorate his note, and telling them that he had seen Crowley's ghost the next day. The papers ran with it, and announced Crowley's suicide, much to the amusement of both Crowley and Pessoa. Some weeks later, Crowley arrived unannounced at an exhibit of some of his paintings in Berlin."
- October 12th happens to be Crowley's birthday- the same day the PID rumor went viral in 1969.
- Crowley had a friend leak the rumor to the press, which ran the story immediately- much like the PID story going viral (was Zarski just a concerned fan?- or an insider?).
- Pessoa "proved" Crowley's unfortunate demise to the press citing the hidden esoteric "clues" in Crowley's notes- much like the pouring over of said "clues" in Beatles album covers, music and photographs for an explanation of the possible death of Paul McCartney.

As well as making skin look smoother and full, Belotero dermal fillers can be used for augmenting the lips and re-hydrating the skin. As the product is made with hyaluronic acid, which breaks down naturally over time, its effects are non-permanent.
If you have wrinkles or uneven skin that you want to be smoother in appearance, Belotero dermal fillers are one possible solution. The range of high quality, advanced dermal fillers are made with hyaluronic acid to offer the best results for patients. They can also contain lidocaine to give the patient the most comfortable experience possible. As well as making skin look smoother and full, Belotero dermal fillers can be used for augmenting the lips and re-hydrating the skin.
In most cases, no allergy test is required before having Belotero injections. The structure of the dermal fillers is highly unique, being polydensified and made of a cohesive gel. During the procedure, injections are easily made into the patient's skin.
As the product is made with hyaluronic acid, which breaks down naturally over time, its effects are non-permanent. However, the treatment usually lasts between 6-9 months. Once the effects have worn off, patients have the option of whether or not to undergo further treatments.
How long the treatment lasts will depend on factors such as age, the amount of correction undertaken and the placement accuracy of the practitioner performing the treatment. It is recommended that patients looking for smoother skin have two treatments per year.
Prices can range from £200- £300 per treatment.
Juvederm ULTRA is a range of hyaluronic acid based gels that are smooth in consistency. When Juvederm is injected it quickly smoothes away facial folds by restoring the skin's volume. It can also be used to enhance and redefine the lips.

For climates with moderate heating and cooling needs, heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners. Like your refrigerator, heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space into a warm, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house; during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide up to 4 times the amount of energy they consume.
The most common type of heat pump is the air-source heat pump, which transfers heat between your house and the outside air. If you heat with electricity, a heat pump can trim the amount of electricity you use for heating by as much as 30%-40%. High-efficiency heat pumps also dehumidify better than standard central air conditioners, resulting in less energy usage and more cooling comfort in summer months. However, the efficiency of most air-source heat pumps as a heat source drops dramatically at low temperatures, generally making them unsuitable for cold climates, although there are systems that can overcome that problem.
For homes without ducts, air-source heat pumps are also available in a ductless version called a mini-split heat pump. In addition, a special type of air-source heat pump called a "reverse cycle chiller" generates hot and cold water rather than air, allowing it to be used with radiant floor heating systems in heating mode.
Higher efficiencies are achieved with geothermal (ground-source or water-source) heat pumps, which transfer heat between your house and the ground or a nearby water source. Although they cost more to install, geothermal heat pumps have low operating costs because they take advantage of relatively constant ground or water temperatures. However, the installation depends on the size of your lot, the subsoil and landscape. Ground-source or water-source heat pumps can be used in more extreme climatic conditions than air-source heat pumps, and customer satisfaction with the systems is very high.
A new type of heat pump for residential systems is the absorption heat pump, also called a gas-fired heat pump. Absorption heat pumps use heat as their energy source, and can be driven with a wide variety of heat sources.
A heat pump's refrigeration system consists of a compressor and two coils made of copper tubing (one indoors and one outside), which are surrounded by aluminum fins to aid heat transfer. In the heating mode, liquid refrigerant in the outside coils extracts heat from the air and evaporates into a gas. The indoor coils release heat from the refrigerant as it condenses back into a liquid. A reversing valve, near the compressor, can change the direction of the refrigerant flow for cooling as well as for defrosting the outdoor coils in winter.
When outdoor temperatures fall below 40°F, a less-efficient panel of electric resistance coils, similar to those in your toaster, kicks in to provide indoor heating. This is why air-source heat pumps aren't always very efficient for heating in areas with cold winters. Some units now have gas-fired backup furnaces instead of electric resistance coils, allowing them to operate more efficiently
The efficiency and performance of today's air-source heat pumps is one-and-a-half to two times greater than those available 30 years ago. This improvement in efficiency has resulted from technical advances and options such as these:
In heating mode, an air-source heat pump evaporates a refrigerant in the outdoor coil; as the liquid evaporates it pulls heat from the outside air. After the gas is compressed, it passes into the indoor coil and condenses, releasing heat to the inside of the house. The pressure changes caused by the compressor and the expansion valve allow the gas to evaporate at a low temperature outside and condense at a higher temperature indoors.
- Thermostatic expansion valves for more precise control of the refrigerant flow to the indoor coil
- Variable speed blowers, which are more efficient and can compensate for some of the adverse effects of restricted ducts, dirty filters, and dirty coils
- Improved coil design
- Improved electric motor and two-speed compressor designs
- Copper tubing, grooved inside to increase surface area.
Most central heat pumps are split-systems-that is, they each have one coil indoors and one outdoors. Supply and return ducts connect to a central fan, which is located indoors.
Some heat pumps are packaged systems. These usually have both coils and the fan outdoors. Heated or cooled air is delivered to the interior from ductwork that protrudes through a wall or roof.
Proper operation of your heat pump will save energy. Do not set back the heat pump's thermostat if it causes the backup heating to come on; backup heating systems are usually more expensive to operate. Continuous indoor fan operation can degrade heat pump performance unless a high-efficiency, variable-speed fan motor is used. Operate the system on the "auto" fan setting on the thermostat.
Like all heating and cooling systems, proper maintenance is key to efficient operation. The difference between the energy consumption of a well-maintained heat pump and a severely neglected one ranges from 10%-25%.
Clean or change filters once a month or as needed, and maintain the system according to manufacturer's instructions. Dirty filters, coils, and fans reduce airflow through the system. Reduced airflow decreases system performance and can damage your system's compressor. Clean outdoor coils whenever they appear dirty; occasionally, turn off power to the fan and clean it; remove vegetation and clutter from around the outdoor unit. Clean the supply and return registers within your home, and straighten their fins if bent.
You should also have a professional technician service your heat pump at least every year. The technician can do the following:
- Inspect ducts, filters, blower, and indoor coil for dirt and other obstructions
- Diagnose and seal duct leakage
- Verify adequate airflow by measurement
- Verify correct refrigerant charge by measurement
- Check for refrigerant leaks
- Inspect electric terminals, and if necessary, clean and tighten connections, and apply nonconductive coating
- Lubricate motors, and inspect belts for tightness and wear
- Verify correct electric control, making sure that heating is locked out when the thermostat calls for cooling and vice versa
- Verify correct thermostat operation.
A number of relatively new innovations are improving the performance of heat pumps.
Unlike standard compressors that can only operate at full capacity, two-speed compressors allow heat pumps to operate close to the heating or cooling capacity that is needed at any particular moment. This saves large amounts of electrical energy and reduces compressor wear. Two-speed heat pumps also work well with zone control systems. Zone control systems, often found in larger homes, use automatic dampers to allow the heat pump to keep different rooms at different temperatures.
Some models of heat pumps are equipped with variable-speed or dual-speed motors on their indoor fans (blowers), outdoor fans, or both. The variable-speed controls for these fans attempt to keep the air moving at a comfortable velocity, minimizing cool drafts and maximizing electrical savings. It also minimizes the noise from the blower running at full speed.
Many high-efficiency heat pumps are equipped with a desuperheater, which recovers waste heat from the heat pump's cooling mode and uses it to heat water. A desuperheater-equipped heat pump can heat water 2 to 3 times more efficiently than an ordinary electric water heater.
Another advance in heat pump technology is the scroll compressor, which consists of two spiral-shaped scrolls. One remains stationary, while the other orbits around it, compressing the refrigerant by forcing it into increasingly smaller areas. Compared to the typical piston compressors, scroll compressors have a longer operating life and are quieter. According to some reports, heat pumps with scroll compressors provide 10°-15°F (5.6°-8.3°C) warmer air when in the heating mode, compared to existing heat pumps with piston compressors.
Although most heat pumps use electric resistance heaters as a backup for cold weather, heat pumps can also be equipped with burners to supplement the heat pump. Back-up burners help solve the problem of the heat pump delivering relatively cool air during cold weather and reduces its use of electricity. Since there are few heat pump manufacturers that incorporate both types of heat supply in one box, these configurations are often two smaller, side-by-side, standard systems sharing the same ductwork. The combustion fuel half of the system could be propane, natural gas, oil, or even coal and wood.
In comparison with a combustion fuel-fired furnace or standard heat pump alone, this type of system is also economical. Actual energy savings depend on the relative costs of the combustion fuel relative to electricity.

Why Things Break
Understanding the World by the Way It Comes ApartBook - 2003
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
This book attracted my attention due its title. Although, the answer to "why things break?" is not provided, it keeps you entertained by giving multiple examples of important engineering events. From failures to discoveries that have happened in human history. Yes, it is a mixture of the author's memories with fine description of abstract concepts he encountered/learned along his education career-life.
Downside perhaps is that, effectively, the author sways frequently from the science and political fields by clearly noticing his disagreement with the government, regarding science. It is an enjoyable read, and for sure I highly recommend it to all those curious minds with likes into science matters. A most, for any engineering student or already engineer out there.
Now I know the great and importante difference between plutonium-238 and -239 (page 154).
On page 245, the author admits to his readers, finally, that "This book has been concerned as much with the system [aka bureaucracy] through which science is done as with the science of why things break." In fact, this very readable book is more a memoir than a layman's introduction to Fracture Mechanics 101. If you have a child who may have an interest in becoming a scientist, this book is a must read - inspirational, motivational, and honest. The author reveals how to break a Kryptonite bicycle lock too.

This year, the NCAA expanded the men's basketball tournament to 68 teams, from 65. Meanwhile, the women's tournament still includes a field of 64 teams. With so much riding on NCAA tournament berths, one has to wonder if the inequity violates Title IX.
According to Title IX, Education Amendments of 1972:
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance...
Typically Title IX has been used to ensure that women have equal opportunities to participate in intercollegiate athletics and is enforced on an institution-by-institution basis. What is not clear, is whether the NCAA, as a governing body, is also subjected to the Title IX mandate.
In a 1999 case ( National Collegiate Athletic Association v. Smith), the Supreme Court ruled that the NCAA is not subjected to Title IX just because they receive dues from institutions that receive federal funding. However, the court left open the possibility that the NCAA could be held to Title IX standards under other provisions under which they receive federal funding.
Both tournaments grant 31 automatic bids to conference champions. However, the NCAA hands out 37 at-large bids to men's programs and only 33 at-large bids to women's programs. At the very least, it would appear that somebody could make a case that the NCAA is violating Title IX, and at worst, they are in gross violation.
And make no mistake, there is a lot riding on these bids beyond just a shot at glory. We can look at schools like George Mason to see the value of a bid to an NCAA tournament. In the year following their Final Four run in the 2006 men's tournament, donations to George Mason athletic programs was up 25 percent.
While a school losing out on benefits is not a concern of Title IX, the 48 women that are being denied an equal opportunity represent schools that may be more than happy to support an expanded women's tournament.

Until now I have only featured London exhibitions on the website, but having gained new American readers and with plenty of UK ones who travel there, I felt it was time to broaden the horizons. Punk: Chaos to Couture began at The Met just after I left New York, and I was frustrated to miss it because it looks like a great exhibition.

Focusing on the relationship between punk and couture since its conception in the 70s, the exhibition features iconic garments alongside contemporary counterparts that have been influenced by the movement. It is organised thematically and divided into seven galleries, each one devoted to a particular aspect of punk and the 'heroes' who championed it.
The first space is dedicated to CBGB in New York (the renowned punk venue originally intended for country, bluegrass and blues), represented by Blondie, Richard Hall and Patti Smith. Another space is inspired by punk royalty Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood and their King's Road boutique.

The DIY aesthetic that is so central to punk is also explored, with a gallery dedicated to D.I.Y. Hardware, focusing on couture's use of studs, spikes chains, zippers, padlocks and safety pins and it's icon Sid Vicious. Likewise D.I.Y. Destroy celebrates Johnny Rotten and punk's 'rip it to shreds' spirit, via shredded garments associated with deconstructionism.

"Since its origins, punk has had an incendiary influence on fashion," says Andrew Bolton, Curator in The Costume Institute. "Although punk's democracy stands in opposition to fashion's autocracy, designers continue to appropriate punk's aesthetic vocabulary to capture its youthful rebelliousness and aggressive forcefulness."
A whole host of contemporary designers are featured, including Hussein Chalayan, John Galliano, Nicolas Ghesquière, Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren (Viktor & Rolf), Rei Kawakubo, Helmut Lang, Malcolm McLaren, Alexander McQueen, Gareth Pugh, Zandra Rhodes, Yohji Yamamoto and Vivienne Westwood.
The Exhibition is described as 'an immersive multimedia experience', where the clothes are brought to life by the use of vintage videos and soundscaping audio techniques. It looks like a really unique tribute to one of music and fashion's most influential movements, so if you are in New York why not take a look!
Punk: Chaos to Couture is at The Metropolitan Museum of Art until 14 August

Kruse finally firing on all cylinders in Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg - When Max Kruse left Borussia Mönchengladbach for VfL Wolfsburg last summer, he justified the move by saying he thought he could enjoy more success in the next few years in Lower Saxony.
A week to remember
His wish was immediately granted, as Wolfsburg beat Bayern in August to win the DFL Supercup. Since then, though, Kruse's start at Wolfsburg has coincided with an individual dry patch.
Though he played in every single one of the Wolves' opening eight games, the attacker just could not find the net. For all his hard work and drive for success, Kruse was luckless in front of goal.
That is, until Matchday 9. Against Hoffenheim last weekend, the 27-year-old burst into life. Repeatedly popping up in exactly the right places, Kruse banged in his first goal in a Wolfsburg shirt, and then followed it up with his second and third. It was the first hat-trick of his career, and one which fired his team to an important and emphatic victory. Less than a week after scoring for Germany against Georgia to secure qualification for UEFA Euro 2016, Kruse turned a good week into a great one.
Team player
"They were two nice moments this week," he said. A cool assessment from a man who many had begun to criticise after his goalless period. Even before his treble, that criticism was not entirely fair. Kruse, after all, plays behind the striker, not as a poaching centre forward. His work rate this season has been anything but under par, and in every game he has played he has looked hungry and willing to work for his team.
The only thing that had been missing was the final product. Aside from the lack of goals, Kruse has also got only a single assist to his name, and he will be looking to build on that figure in the coming weeks.
Leading role
Kruse could develop into the crucial cog in Wolfsburg's front line. With Andre Schürrle still struggling to find his form and Julian Draxler only just settling in, Kruse's work rate in the area behind Bas Dost will be increasingly important if Wolfsburg are to find the free-scoring form they had in the second half of last season.
On Matchday 10 the Wolves face SV Darmstadt 98. It is the first time they will meet the Lilien since last year's first round of the DFB Pokal. Wolfsburg went on to win the trophy, but nearly fell at the first hurdle, Darmstadt holding them to a 0-0 draw before Dieter Hecking's side finally triumphed 5-4 on penalties.
Only the beginning
This year, too, Darmstadt have proved resilient against huge odds in the new world of the Bundesliga. A battling outfit, they have held some of the league's most potent attacks at bay, and Wolfsburg will have to be at their best up front if they are to break them down.
What could be better, then, than Kruse's timely rediscovery of form? His work rate will in any case be useful against a Darmstadt side that will probably force Wolfsburg to fight to the bitter end, but it is his eye for goal which may make the difference. Another treble may be too much to ask for, but the Wolves will be be hoping Kruse's explosion against Hoffenheim was just the beginning.

My wife stumbled on a fun little fact the other day: there is a Yoda fountain in San Francisco. So, naturally, we decided to check it out.
We found out that the statue is actually in front of the Lucasfilm headquarters located in the Letterman Digital Arts Center in the Presidio District of San Francisco. And apparently, during business hours, you can go inside the lobby area and take a peek at some awesome Star Wars memorabilia, including statues, replicas, and awards that Lucasfilm has won.

Written by Tim Kelly
Directed by Dale Kelly
October 11-14 & 17-20, 2018
Stage 43 was proud to present M*A*S*H - the kickoff to our "As Seen on Screen" 2018-2019 season!
Did you know that Richard Hooker wrote the book MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors following his own experiences as a doctor in a MASH unit in Korea – and yes…he really did name his tent "The Swamp". The stage adaptation by Tim Kelly followed, as well as feature film and TV versions. The story of talented surgeons who use mischief and insubordination to deal with the pressure and turmoil of finding themselves in the middle of the Korean War is one that audiences continue to find both relatable and entertaining.
M*A*S*H was performed at the Evergreen Cultural Centre (1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam). Patrons were able to enjoy free parking or just hop on the sky train – the theatre is adjacent to the new Lafarge Park-Douglas Station!
Partial proceeds from all tickets sold for this production were donated to Honour House Society, which provides a free of charge, temporary home for members of our Canadian Armed Forces, Veterans and Emergency Services Personnel and their families while they travel to receive medical care and treatment in the Metro Vancouver Area.

June 17, 2008
PULLMAN, Wash. -- Two accomplished throwers and a decathlete have signed National Letters of Intent to attend and compete for the Washington State University track and field teams, Cougars track and field head coach Rick Sloan announced Tuesday.
Joe Bartlett, a discus and shot put thrower from Reno, Nev., Lynnea Braun, a javelin thrower from Yakima, Wash., and Sean Harris, a multi-events competitor from Kent, Wash.
Bartlett, a 2008 graduate of Bishop Manogue High in Reno, is an eight-time letterwinner, having competed in football and wrestling in addition to track for the Miners. Bartlett is a three-time state shot put championship and a two-time state discus champion. His lifetime-best mark in the shot put is 61-feet, 3 inches and his PR in the discus is 199-feet, 8 inches. Bartlett also competed with the Reno-Tahoe Athletics Track Club for coach Jeff Weitzmen, and was the national champion in both the shot and the discus and earned AAU All-American honors in both events.
'Joe is going to be a wonderful addition to our throws program. He is physically mature and very strong,' Associate Coach and WSU throws Coach Debra Farwell said. 'It is really nice to have a quality thrower that can do both shot and discus well. He is very interested and excited to learn the hammer and that is something that we will work on in the fall. I expect him to step up and help us his first year as a Cougar. Talented athletes like Joe only come around every few years, much like Matt Lamb and Olympian Ian Waltz. I am really excited to start working with Joe and watch him develop.'
Braun, a 2005 graduate of West Valley high of Yakima, earned her AA degree from Community Colleges of Spokane. She was the state 3A javelin champion while at West Valley High throwing 140-3. She began her post-prep career by playing volleyball at North Idaho College for two seasons, including as the starting libero on the team that placed fourth at the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Championships. Braun transferred to CCS and threw the javelin a PR of 164-11 (50.28m) to win the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC).
'Lynnea brings collegiate experience to our program and will add her talent to an already very talented women's javelin crew,' Coach Farwell said. 'She was a very highly-recruited young lady and I feel very fortunate that she chose Washington State University as her new home. Lynnea has a tremendous work ethic and will provide excellent leadership to the large group of incoming freshmen next year. She will be valuable at both the Pac-10 and the NCAA level and we are very excited to have her in our program.'
Harris graduated from Kent-Meridian High where he earned nine varsity letters: four in track as a hurdler and thrower for former Cougar competitor Ernie Ammons, three in football as a wide receiver where he was an all-league selection as a senior, and two as a forward on the basketball team. He was the South Puget Sound League and district champion in the 110m hurdles this year, and was the runner-up at the 2007 and 2008 state 4A championship meets. Harris ran a 2008 state time of 14.43 seconds. He also holds the school record in the high hurdles and the decathlon.
'We saw in Sean Harris a big, strong-looking athlete and an outstanding hurdler,' Cougars Head Coach Rick Sloan said. 'He's run 14.40 this year. He's had good success in the 16-pound shot put, throwing 40-feet, and he's high jumped six-feet. I think we have a good hurdler in Sean but, with his athleticism and how powerful he is, I think we might have a decathlete as well and that is the direction we are going to go.'

Charity here from Scrappin' Chaos with a quick and easy way to make accordion fold medallions. Birds and feathers in pastel colors embellish this spring banner. The medallions that frame the letters are made from a circle of paper rather than a strip. This cuts down on the amount of paper needed as well as the time required to make the folds.
Step 1:Cut a 5" circle. Cut a 1.75" circle from the center, set this aside for final step.
Step 2: Fold circle in half, lining up outer and inner edges. This will mark the center line and give you a guide for the following folds.
Step 3: Place #6 Template on circle, lining up existing creases.
Step 4: Score remaining six lines. Fold circle at each of these score marks.
The finished medallion has 16 creases. The banner medallions have 32 creases.
Best Glue Ever from ScraPerfect holds the foiled papers together. Spread evenly and allow to partially dry.
The birds and feathers are die cut from the Spring variety pack. Embossing the birds gives them an additional spark of originality. I added different feather lengths to the banner pieces, but kept with the pastel color theme.

Rating: A
Disclaimer: This is not a work of fiction. Rather, as always, a work of emotion. It is not meant to hurt or please either sex. Dissent is natural and welcome.
Latest addition to my 'List of Taboo Words' - MEN (Also includes Man, Boy and anything masculine. FYI, few others would be diet, weight-loss etc etc).
Irrespective of age, I think they all think with the wrong part of their anatomy. I agree there are exceptions. There are those scattered, unintentionally good souls. The 'decent' lot. But then as my profs in MBA would say, "Exceptions are not examples!" And so, I can safely say that majority of the men in the world are born bastards. My views may seem extreme but I speak outta experience! I am pretty fortunate to have around me some of those real good guys. But then again, there are the others…
Case 1: The Boss - Right now the most happening story in my life.
The scoop: Getting hit on by my new boss at my new workplace. Bald and 50, glasses and a mole AND half my height! Oh and yea, he's got a daughter who's almost my age!
The Gory details: Unnecessary hand holding, extra long hand shakes (inspite of me trying to yank my hand away), irking references to 'walks on the beach' with us 'holding hands' and me in 'western clothes'.
His explanation (for the 'walking on the beach bit'): To test how conservative Chennai is, and to observe what stories people would spin seeing us together! [To which I actually told him something as lame as my 'arranged' marriage would get affected by it]
My retaliation: Though delayed, I managed to muster the guts to go and tell someone about what's been happening. I know, I know. I should've done this earlier (waited almost 2 weeks, but then, it's just been 2 weeks since I joined!). I should have probably told him off myself. I'm not denying I'm a coward. I hate the very fact that I am. But I just wanted to make sure of his intentions. I didn't wanna seem assumptive or that I read in between lines. Come on, I was just 2 weeks in! Anywayz, case is pretty much solved. Sad part is I still report to him, but after a lot of convincing from the HR, the MD and a few others, I do see sense in remaining where I am.
After-math: Mr. I'm-so-sexy has his hands to himself and his tongue behind his teeth. (cuz hez got this ugly gap in between his teeth and he talks with a slight lisp when his tongue gets there. Blech!) Nothing untoward. As yet…
Case 2: The Random Lurker – Crass, gross and all those extra-eeewww stuff
The scoop: Me and Dolz. One walk through Rakiyappa theru at 9.30 pm. One stalker. Denim clad, cap and book in hand.
The Gory details: Dolz gets all paranoid that it's too late to walk. [For all the right reasons. I, on the other hand, vehemently denied and condemned her fears as irrational. Afterall, juz WHAT could happen to 2 SALWAR clad girls walking down a dark alley hardly 100 yards away from their house. Special emphasis on the 'salwar' for those of you who are murmuring – jeans la pota pasanga paaka dan seivanga (i.e: if you wear jeans and all, obviously guys would look. Like it matters!)]
Anywayz, back to the scene of action. I keep telling her to shut up and walk. She walks faster. I beg her to slow down. Mr. Hunk walks faster. He overtakes us. I look at her and triumphantly think, "See, he wasn't out to get us. Happy?" Just then she overtakes him. And I have no choice but to run and keep up. And then it happens. He says "Excuse me". I don't know what made me turn (my excuse still is that I thought he was calling to say we had dropped a bag or something). Dolz walks forward. I turn. He says, "If you don't mind (!!!!), can I taste your ******". In ENGLISH. Like saying 'if you don't mind' would actually make me not mind. Like it's mandatory to be polite at the most irrevelant-est of moments. Like I would be all forthcoming in the middle of the road (or anywhere). Like all I wanted was to turn around and….
My retaliation: Thu, oru mannu um illa. I ACTUALLY screamed, pulled Dolz's hand and RAN. And HE turned around and walked away.
1. Immediate: Shivering, sweating, heart thumping so hard it ached, tears and complaints to alllllllllllllll. (except appa amma cuz if they knew, I would be under house arrest irrespective of night or day)
2. 30 mins later: Embarassment. For having run away. Anguish. For his audacity and my foolishness at not listening to Dolz. Anger. At all men, and hence this blog. Resolve. To learn self defense and carry pepper spray. To never walk again- at night. To listen to Dolz more often, she is elder by 4 years after all!
3. Next morning: Sheer self-disgust. Thanks to my darling friends rubbing it in.
"You should have just turned and given him one-tight slap. I would've done that".
"You ran? You should have held his hand and cut it! Carry a knife di"
"Medical advice: Crush his throat with index finger and thumb. Would stop blood to his brain and he would suffocate" (Like my dumb, numb mind could process that then)
Guys advice: "ONE kick where it hurts most. Would have put the fear of God in him".
Questions my mind is throwing-up (literally) now:
1. Why me?
2. What if his family knows? (the boss)
3. Does he even understand what he is saying? (the stalker)
4. Why me?
5. Why can't I be bolder?
6. IF (God forbid!) this happens again, what would I do?
7. Thank God Dolz was there with me. If not…? *shudder* [Not like I would have done anything but run otherwise]
8. Any one know where I can get hold of that pepper spray? A shot gun perhaps?
9. Any other suggestions for how to tackle mean men…?
10. And yea...are all men this way????
Answers please!

Local Residents Complete Middlesex Sheriff's Special Citizens Academy
By: BNEWS
Local residents have been hard at work learning about public safety and related subjects.
The Middlesex Sheriff's Office announced that it concluded its third Special Citizens Academy with a graduation ceremony and lunch for the over 20 participants who completed the four-week program designed for adults with developmental disabilities.
"Over twenty local residents joined Middlesex Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian on May 23 to celebrate their graduation from the Middlesex Sheriff's Office Special Citizens Academy," the announcement states. "The free, four week program is specifically designed for adults with developmental disabilities who have an interest in public safety."
Sheriff Koutoujian said the program is a great way for local residents to learn about his office, law enforcement and areas of personal safety important to them.
"This Academy gives these members of our community an opportunity to meet and interact with deputies, corrections officers and other law enforcement in an educational environment," said Sheriff Koutoujian. "Seeing the smiles on the cadets' faces as they learn from these professionals is heartwarming, and their enthusiasm is simply infectious."
Cadets at the Academy attended classes on issues such as Internet Safety and Awareness; Fire Safety and First Aid; and Scam Prevention. They also witnessed demonstrations from the MSO and National Park Service K-9 Units and met members of the MSO's Special Operations and Command Center staffs.
Families and local officials were invited to attend the graduation at the MSO Training Academy in Chelmsford, where cadets heard from Sheriff Koutoujian and Chris Scott, Executive Director of the Valley Collaborative in Billerica.
The next Academy is already scheduled for fall 2018; interested participants and caregivers can contact Community Affairs Director Ken Doucette at 978-495-7408 to register for the program.

If Australians are 50 overs match Champions then we are also 20-20 Champions.
India made a great statement by beating the Australians in 20-20 match played yesterday.
Gautam Gambhir's blazing knock of 63 helped India crush Australia by seven wickets in the one-off Twenty20 international at the Brabourne stadium in Mumbai on Saturday.
Also, Harbhajan Singh and Murali Kartik did well in the middle overs to restrict Australians for mere 165 runs.
