About the Artist...
Rapper, producer, musician, cartoonist Shock-G is the mastermind behind multi-platinum artists Digital Underground. Formed in Oakland in the late '80s, DU dropped their first single, "Your Life's a Cartoon" b/w "Underwater Rimes," in 1988, generating sufficient notoriety to land a deal with Tommy Boy. "Underwater Rimes" went to #1 in Amsterdam,Holland. While the second single, "Doowutchyalike," charted in Europe, it was "The Humpty Dance"-featuring Shock's Groucho-nosed alter ego, Humpty Hump-that propelled the group to platinum status in the US.
Sex Packets (1990), the album that followed, rewrote the book for funk-based hip hop with its extensive use of George Clinton grooves, anticipating by two years the sound Dr. Dre would use to anchor The Chronic. '91 saw DU in the Chevy Chase/Dan Aykroyd comedy "Nothin' But Trouble," performing the hit "Same Song" from "This is an EP Release." This was also the recording & big-screen debut of 2pac, for whom Shock would later produce the hits "So Many Tears" & "I Get Around." Subsequent albums for Tommy Boy include Sons of the P (1991), featuring the smash "Kiss You Back," & "The Body-Hat Syndrome" (1993). DU has since dropped two indie discs, "Future Rhythm" (Critique 1996) & "Who Got the Gravy?" (Jake 1998), as well as "The Lost Files" (1999), a collection of rare & non-released tracks available exclusively through the group's web-site, ShockG.com. They continue to record & tour, having earned a reputation as a live act without peer on the hip hop club circuit.
In addition to 2pac, Shock has brought up a considerable amount of talent through DU, including the Luniz, Saafir, & Mystic. In 1995, Shock appeared on the Bay Area anthem "I Got 5 on It," alongside the Luniz, Richie Rich, Spice1,E-40, & Dru Down. He has also produced & recorded with such acts as Murs, DJ Quik, George Clinton, & Prince.

2010- Led by Humpty Hump and Money B with SHock G on piano, Digital Underground closes the BET Hip-Hop Awards show with a special surprise-guest performance in which they shared the stage with the rising Los Angeles rap group "Cali Swag District." It was the final performance of the televised portion, as well as the final performance of the actual event which took place at the Atlanta Civic Center.

A former member of Too Short's "Dangerous Crew." Peewee is also an original member of Tupac's early 90's production tean "Underground Railroad," as is Shock G and Fuze. With the three of them reunited, everything was brought full circle, the feel became more identifiable authentic, and the sound grew even richer from their years of outside experience coming together as one.

Shock G recalls "Many people who weren't supposed to appear for two or three more sets joined us for hugs and waves in the break, including Quincy Jones and Tom Silverman. It was beautiful.
2011- "Freaks Of The Industry" titled "Freaks" gets release featuring rising star "LoveRance" and his group "C.F.O.P.A." The version easily out-nasties the original with clever and comedic wordplay and features production by IamSu! who produced LoveRance's own platinum sex anthem "Up," featuring 50 Cent.
2012- On June 15th, Digital Underground perfromed at the legendary jaxx venue "Yoshi's" in San Francisco for a Tupac Shakur Birthday Celebration and were spontaneously joined on stage by George Clinton and early collaborators Ray Luv and sinber Roniece Levias.

Sometimes that the position that you hold will grant you some cool percs that extend from your normal 9 to 5. In this case, my position with Louisville.com has landed me with much more than I ever anticipated.
Earlier this week I was put on the "Will Call" list for the Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer show at Freedom Hall. Yeah, that's right. Management for Slayer oked the deal, gave me the proper credentials to gain access to the show, and even floated my entry fees, which in some cases were close to a hundred bucks. Needless to say, I was stoked.
As I Walked up on the venue's front doors I could hear the guitars playing loudly over the semi-muted crowd, and though their often explicit screams were quite audible, I seemingly tuned them out to focus on what was being played out just beyond the doors in front of me. Anthrax opened the show, and though they had a large turnout, hundreds of fans continued to pour into the entrance having arrived somewhat late. I must admit to being one of them because of work constraints, but luckily I caught the ass-end of their performance, which I must say was pretty dope.
In between acts, the guys that I came with and myself included got double-fisted with skunky domestic beer that tasted like pure trash water, but sometimes one must jump on a grenade in order to catch a buzz. So we drank up and did so extremely fast so that we could tolerate the rowdy and often redneck crowd. We bought some of the band's over-priced merchandise, bought more beer, and headed back into the show. Megadeth absolutely blew Anthrax off the stage, and put on an overall kick-ass show. They played all of their most known hits, a ton of their hardcore fan's favorites, as well as some new material that I was unfamiliar with. Dave Mustane, the lead singer of Megadeth, engaged the crowd like a true rock god and spoke of the speculation of a possible cancelled show, but then said that he wouldn't have second thought the notion, that Kentucky was one of the most beautiful places in the world, and that he actually boarded horses in one of the surrounding counties. As he finished up the band kicked back into high gear and did not only one encore performance, but a second to round out the last few songs that the die hards would have went home feeling slighted without having heard.
In between Megadeth's performance and Slayer's we switched from crappy domestic keg beer to mixed drinks, and thank god because I wasn't sure how much more I could take. I had access to take photos during the first three songs of Slayer down in the area referred to as "The Pit." That's the area between the stage and the crowd, which turned out to be no better vantage point than standing in the crowd. And I really don't know why I was granted such a privilege, because after having taken my photos and exiting the pit I was then detained by security and had to show them each and every one of my pictures before they then forcefully made me erase all of them.
That pretty much ruined whatever respect that I once had for event security, but I just put it behind me as so, and hung out in the crowd for the duration of the show, which I must say was as unbelievable as most any of the best shows that I've ever seen in my life. Some bands get big and lose it, others disconnect with their fans, but these guys, never, not once disappointed, and anytime Megadeth or Slayer come to a town within a couple hundred mile radius of Louisville I'll be hitting it up.
The percs of the position are always those good pluses that keep you enthused about what you do, and in so many of the cases I've encountered, the moments that will create the memories of a lifetime. I hope that my brother has children one of these days so that I can tell them of my drunken journeys while out on the road because I never plan on having my own, but until then, I hope that I continue to entertain you, my audience.

In these weekly Sunday morning teachings spanning from March 2013 to December 2014, Gelek Rimpoche elaborates on the "Tibetan Buddhism" series, with the earlier sessions on the foundational Compassion for Oneself meditations, laying the ground work for the later sessions emphasizing Great Compassion for all living beings.
The Mahayana Path - from Theravada to Vajrayana
Mahayana is based on Theravada principles like Four Noble Truths and 12 links of dependent origination. Wisdom is common to both, but bodhimind is the distinction. Most people develop bodhimind first, but some develop wisdom before bodhimind. According to Theravada, personal nirvana and buddha hood are two ultimate results. Theravada acknowledges buddha hood but does not teach a method to reach it.
According to Mahayana, everyone will eventually achieve buddhahood. Those who have attained the personal nirvana of the Theravada will enter the Mahayana path at the path of seeing. The Mahayana sutra path shows the way to buddha hood over 3 countless eons. Vajrayana can bring buddha hood in one life time, based on practicing development stage and completion stage.

Ignition switches remain a chronic Bugeye challenge, and we keep working to make this challenge easy for all. We get lots of cars in with loose switches, and the live wires on the back are vulnerable to shorts or worse. So we made the ignition guillotine to secure the switch to the dash once and for all.
Lately, parts quality has been variable, so fitting the rest of the pieces on the switch is more difficult than ever. Each component needs some modification before it will attach to the switch. Sadly the days of taking parts out of the box and putting them together without some fettling are over, and for ignition switch bezels and key cylinders, this takes some skill to get right. So now we are offering the complete set up, no fussing required. We are constantly trying to find the best components available all over the world, and as we get new improved items, it may get easier again, but for now, we have a fully assembled item for those who simply want the whole assembly ready to go. Click here to get your "ready to install ignition switch."

GM Mickey Loomis Opening Statement: "We're sorry for the short notice, but we want to get this done before Deuce (McAllister) has to report to the team meeting. Obviously, we are here to announce that Deuce McAllister and the New Orleans Saints have agreed to a seven year contract extension that will keep Deuce a New Orleans Saint through the 2012 season. We started this process last year, and I just want to commend Deuce and his agent Ben Dogra for their patience through this whole process. It's just an affirmation of what we already know, which is that Deuce is a team-first guy and we're just really happy to have Deuce under contract for as long as he wants to be a Saint. With that, I'll let Deuce make a few comments."
Deuce McAllister Opening Statement: "First and foremost, I have to thank God for this. I thank the organization for their commitment to me. Obviously, I thank the city and the fans and Mr. Benson for just believing in me and believing in my talent, my teammates, coach Haslett, all the coaches that have stuck with me, Mr. Mickey (Loomis), the general management, and just the whole front office. Obviously, it has been a long process for me. They say patience is a virtue, so we tried to be patient. There were some tough times in there, but eventually everything worked out. I have to be pleased about it, and I am ecstatic and blessed about the whole situation."
McAllister Q: Could this be the last contract? Could this be the last one of your career?
A: "Possibly. I look to finish my career here, and this basically locks me up in New Orleans. I have to be pleased and proud about that, just to have an awesome situation here in New Orleans being from Mississippi and coming here to have a chance to play in front of the fans. The great fans have been supportive of us as a team. We haven't gotten to the ultimate game, to the Super Bowl, and that's what the fans have wanted and hopefully I can be part of it."
Loomis Q: How difficult was this deal to get done, given the parameters of the cap situation?
A: "It's a tough deal. It was a tough deal to do. Like I said, we started the process last year, and it's obviously a big deal. Deuce deserves that, and whenever you have big deals you have a lot of issues. It took a long time to work through them all, and I'm excited about it. I know Deuce is. I'm excited that he is going to be a Saint for the foreseeable future, through 2012. If he wants to keep playing, we'll sign him to a new deal then."
McAllister Q: Did you plan on holding out if you didn't get the new contract?
A: "No, because like I said you have to be patient with the whole deal. Obviously, that's a part of it and some guys have used that tactic in the past. I don't think that was my ultimate goal because I wanted to be out here with the guys to continue to prepare for Carolina. I knew that was going to set me back if that occurred. I knew the organization, management, and my agent had worked hard over the last two years, so I didn't want to dampen anything by being a holdout. I didn't want to be disruptive and mess up what they had been working on for the last two years."
McAllister Q: At what point did you realize that it was going to get done?
A: "I wouldn't say that it was at a certain stage that I realized it was going to get done. I was hoping it would get done before this time, but it's a long process and there is a lot that has to be considered and taken into fact. My job is to prepare myself and to get ready for Carolina. I basically put it in their hands to be able to take care of the contract."
Loomis Q: Does this put him in the class with (Clinton) Portis and (LaDainian) Tomlinson?
A: "Sure, it's a big deal. Hopefully Deuce will be able to get himself a new suit."
Loomis Q: Did they set the bar for this deal?
A: "Well, there are a lot of deals, and we looked at every deal. It's a Deuce McAllister deal is what it is. It's not a Portis deal or a Tomlinson deal or any of these other guys. It's a Deuce McAllister deal."
Loomis Q: People say that you don't want to break the bank for a running back. Why for a guy like this?
A: "Obviously, Deuce is a great running back. I said to Deuce a long time ago that we're not going to give you a big deal because you can get 1,200 or 1,400 or 1,600 yards. We gave him a big deal because we believe in him as a leader on our team who can help get us to the ultimate goal. We absolutely believe that, and Deuce deserves a big deal. To be honest with you, the guys in the league who have produced have always gotten paid. Deuce is absolutely in that category. In our view, we wouldn't trade Deuce for anybody."
Loomis Q: Where do things stand with Jammal Brown? Will he be on the field tomorrow?
A: "We're always hopeful of that. There are a number of first round picks that aren't signed right now. That will take care of itself. Russ Ball is working hard on that right now as well speak. His agent, who is also Deuce McAllister's agent, has been working on it too. This is really Deuce's night. I wanted to make sure we called this before our first meeting because it really is a big deal. It's a big deal for us in the organization. It's a big deal for Deuce. It's a big deal for the fans and even the media. I think everyone is excited about it."
Loomis Q: Did Mike McKenzie report to training camp?
A: "I won't know who's present until we get to that meeting."
Loomis Q: Have you made any progress with Jammal Brown or other players' contractual situations that have been under discussion?
A: "I don't know if I can answer that one. These deals, the way they work is you don't know if you have a deal until you have a deal. You know when you're a long ways apart, but I don't know if you know when you're close in the sense that you're asking me. It's tough for me to answer that question."
Loomis Q: Have you had discussions with Mike McKenzie's agent?
A: "We've had a number of contacts with him. I don't have any announcements other than Deuce McAllister."
McAllister Q: Did it take the amount of money given to you by the Saints to realize the love that they have for you?
A: "I wouldn't necessarily say a lot of money. Anytime you do a job, you want to get paid for your job and that's basically how it has to happen. In team sports, sometimes you have to sacrifice for the team. If you look at a team that has done that over the last four or five years it's New England, because they sacrifice greatly. Obviously contract situations haven't risen to a point where it's been disruptive, because if it had, then obviously they release the guy or they trade him. Every player wants to get paid for his services, because in this game of football, nobody can play for 20 years. Jerry Rice and Jackie Slater, some of those guys are an exception. As a running back, you usually last three and a half years, so you could kind of say I've passed that benchmark, so I'm just pleased that we were able to work out an extension and just extremely ecstatic about it."
McAllister Q: Do you know how you're going to spend the money?
A: "Probably the first thing is, my job is to play football. I'll try to do some smart investing in it. It's basically secured my family's future as well as my children's future, when that does occur, my nephews and everybody, they've basically been taken care of from this point on."
McAllister Q: What is it like for a person such as yourself from a small town in Mississippi to attain so much success at a young age?
A: "You have to believe. That's what it's basically telling any kid from a rural area or the inner cities. Don't think that because it's hard on you now that you can't make it to the top ultimately. Sometimes it's going to be tough. A lot of the time it's going to be tough, but you have to continue to fight. You have to continue to have hope and continue to believe, because it can happen."
McAllister Q: Will it be a big adjustment to have this kind of contract?
A: "I've been working hard. Obviously with the kind of a shift to a more of a running game type of philosophy, I know what the team is trying to do offensively as far as getting me involved and basically running the ball. We're going to be a play action team. We still have speed on the outside that we can use. Mickey alluded to the fact that I didn't wear a suit. My ultimate goal is to get back to the Pro Bowl. That's where I want to be. I know if I can make it back to the Pro Bowl, then this team has no reason to be back in the playoffs, so I basically know that they're putting everything on my shoulders. I'm big enough to carry it. I want the pressure. I want the ball, because I want to get us in the playoffs where we haven't been."
Loomis Q: Can you talk about the terms and signing bonus?
A: "We don't do that other than to say that it's a seven year extension, eight year contract in total. That's personal business for Deuce. That's not for me to talk about."

I do not mean to say Belfast's rivers are physically rising, although come autumn we may witness that too. They are rising in the culture of the city, seeping up through concrete and reminding us to remember them. We all know the Lagan of course, but what of the Farset, the Clowney and the Blackstaff? They have been buried under the city but now some artists and cartographers are bringing them back up.
This is a section of the map only. Visit PLACE's website here. I like their blog too.
PLACE, the Architecture and Built Environment Centre for Northern Ireland, ran a project recently called Resounding Rivers. It was by Matt Green. It featured a series of sound installations around the city and a map of "Belfast's forgotten rivers." Once, we learn from the map, there was a reservoir where the BBC are now located on Ormeau Avenue. Kelly's Cellars, when it first opened in 1720, stood on a riverbank.
Clues to Belfast's watery past can still be found in street names. Bank Street was once by a river. Now the river runs under it. Skipper Street was once much closer to the sea and was lined with boarding houses for sailors. PLACE itself is on fountain street. As the name indicates, this is where fresh water was made available via public taps. The water had to be piped in from the hills despite the fact that the Blackstaff river flowed along the end of the street. This was because the all of Belfast's rivers were tidal, therefore salty and therefore undrinkable. Belfast was not just placed among a network of rivers, it was entangled with the sea.
"It's like fucking Venice except nobody's letting on!" says Dermy in Jimmy McAleavey's play The Sign of the Whale. It had a run in Belfast's Baby Grand theatre lately. In this drama both the whale and the water flowing under Belfast operate as contrast to violence on the streets. It is set in 1977. Dermy finds a map of Belfast's forgotten rivers and sets off to follow their routes. During one monologue he becomes enraptured by the possibilities of free water rolling under the troubled city, unpolluted. "You can feel it rushing along. Overcoming obstacles. Clearing the arteries. Flushing the streets a man could say … All the clots and the shit and the impasses. The sticking points ands the standoffs and the stumbling blocks … and … yes, the bodies."
The Sign of the Whale was a Tinderbox production. The poster image for the play mingles cartography and a whale. There is a certain sense of discovery in the way the whale is being peeled open to expose a map on its bones. There is also a certain amount of horror.
This is a detail only. Belfast c. 1600 to c. 1900. The Making of the Modern City covers the city extensively.
Raymond Gillespie and Stephen A. Royle have produced a fascinating map of Belfast's development, Belfast c. 1600 to c. 1900. The Making of the Modern City. It can be mined for all sorts of information but perhaps the most immediately striking thing is just how much more blue there used to be. From the map we learn that the Lagan was much wider (up to 1833) the Markets were muddy water (until about 1700). The map also shows us the Blackstaff flowing straight through Donegal Square.

Melissa Brooks, a fourth-year in integrated systems engineering, said she will never leave her off-campus home unlocked again following two break-ins that occurred at her residence within the same week.
Although she said she doesn't normally leave the door to her Chittenden Avenue home unlocked, Brooks said she had no other choice after her roommate's house key and wallet were stolen during an unrelated incident after a night out a few days before the first break-in.
"I was leaving the door unlocked for her, for those two or three days, so that way she could get in," Brooks said.
It turns out, the unlocked door allowed for someone else besides Brooks' roommate to gain entry.
"I was on my way home when one of my roommates had texted me and said 'where's my laptop?'" Brooks said. "That's when I knew it was bad because she knows that I would never just take her computer for no reason and not say anything."
When Brooks arrived home shortly after texting her roommate, she learned her laptop was gone as well, in addition to $75 in cash. It was at that point Brooks said she knew her home had been burglarized.
"We were both just in shock for a while, but what were we supposed to do?" Brooks said.
Although officers with the Columbus Division of Police dusted for fingerprints and wrote a report, Brooks said the suspect(s) have not been located and the stolen items have not been recovered.
If one break-in wasn't enough, less than a week later, Brooks said she found an angry man who was yelling uncontrollably in her home.
"I was sitting on our futon in our living room and I hear a knock on a door on the side of our house — like a light knocking — and I didn't move at first because it was strange because all of our friends we know would not go to that door, they would go to the front door," Brooks said. "I didn't move at first and then I heard a heavier knocking and then I heard the door smash open."
Brooks said she then walked into the kitchen to investigate the crash when she noticed a man standing in her hallway, looking directly at her.
"He started yelling something about 'Jimmy' and how this guy owed him money and started asking where he was," Brooks said. "I was just very calm and told him he (Jimmy) doesn't live here and I don't know who that is."
Brooks said she just tried to get the man out of the house and remained calm.
"He kind of just left on his own pretty much out the same door," Brooks said. "And then I watched him walk out in the back parking lot and he was still yelling this guy's name, and then he just walked away."
Brooks said the officers with whom she filed the report said the man was probably going to rob her and planned to use "Jimmy" as an excuse to get into her house. However, Brooks said she didn't think that was the case because he didn't seem to have a weapon and he was fixed on finding "Jimmy."
Although Brooks' off-campus home was broken into twice in one week, Sgt. Shaun Laire with the Columbus Division of Police said crime rates, including burglaries, generally increase during the summer months.
"Most burglars prefer times when they don't think people are there," Laire said. "That's why they focus on summer break."
Laire said he could not offer specific statistics on off-campus burglary rates.
Even though it may seem simple and basic, Laire said he sees time after time where people fall victim to burglary simply because they don't lock their doors.
Virgil Vulvara, a fourth-year in biology, said he learned he needed to start locking his doors after he and his five roommates discovered someone had entered their Norwich Avenue apartment one morning before most of them were awake.
"I was still asleep and I remember somebody opening my (bedroom) door- I assumed it was just one of my roommates — and I didn't get a good look at him, but someone was at my door and they closed it as soon as they saw me," Vulvara said.
He then fell back asleep before waking up a little later to get ready for work, he said.
Before he left, Vulara said he heard someone in the kitchen and assumed it was one of his roommates and didn't think anything of it.
It wasn't until later in the evening that Vulvara and his roommates discovered that certain possessions — including two laptops, a music player and some cosmetics — had been taken.
"This guy has some serious balls," Vulvara said. "It was scary. The guy literally could have done anything while we were asleep."
Vulvara said before the incident, he and his roommates never locked their apartment doors.
The more hurdles a homeowner puts up, including locking exterior-leading doors, the less likely a burglar will gain entry, Laire said.
"(These include) locking your doors and windows, proper lighting, alarm systems, pets such as dogs, block watches and alert neighbors — those are all hurdles," Laire said.
In addition, Laire said high quality locks, such as deadbolts, are always a good thing to have.
Both Brooks and Vulvara said they will always lock their doors following these incidents.
If students want to report concerns of violence or crime in their off-campus neighborhoods, they should email email@example.com, a Columbus Division of Police spokeswoman said.
The email service is part of Crime Summer Initiative, where more officers patrol high-crime areas to curb crime over the summer, the spokeswoman said.

The right to crack jokes or be rude about homosexuals could fall victim to new government laws to stamp out "homophobic" behaviour, Rowan Atkinson, the Blackadder star warned yesterday.
Atkinson, who mounted a successful campaign in 2004 to water down legislation aimed at criminalising expressions of religious hatred, has returned to the fray to defend the art of gay leg-pulling.
His concern is that Labour ministers are so obsessed with creating laws to stop people being rude about each other that they are putting in danger the right to free speech and, equally dear to his heart, the comedian's craft.
In a letter to a newspaper he accused ministers of filling their legislative programme with measures that have "serious implications for freedom of speech, humour and creative expression".
Atkinson was referring to measures in the Criminal Justice Bill, currently passing through Parliament, which could mean people who stir up hatred against homosexuals being put in prison for up to seven years.
He said the Government measures, which could be expanded to cover hatred against disabled or transgendered people, seemed to be "infinitely extendable".
"Witness the fact that the Government has invited two additional groups - the disabled and transsexuals - to 'make the case' for the proposed legislation to be extended to them.
"I am sure that they could make a very good case, as indeed could all those who can claim that they cannot help being the way they are. Men, for example, or women. Or people with big ears."
Atkinson added: "The devil, as always, will be in the detail but the casual ease which some people move from finding something offensive to wishing to declare it criminal - and are then able to find factions within government to aid their ambitions - is truly depressing."
Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, has told MPs that such fears are unfounded because he will shortly introduce an amendment to the Bill ensuring that cases can be pursued only when the offending words are specifically intended to pose a threat and are not merely humorous, mocking or abusive.
As with an eventual compromise deal struck over the Religious Hatred Bill, there will also be a specific clause to protect the right to freedom of speech.
Ministers have firmly dismissed as unfounded claims that playground insults or jokes about gays could be caught by the new offence.
Last night Chris Bryant, the openly gay Labour MP, said Mr Atkinson should relax because the right to make jokes about gays would remain. "I think it is perfectly possible to create a distinction in law between incitement to hatred and having a laugh," he said.
Lord Lester, the Liberal Democrat peer who helped draft the compromise wording on the religious hatred law, said it was clear that "politically incorrect jokes at the expense of gay people" should not be banned.

As rumors continue to circulate, Carmelo confident he's staying put
Instead he promised to be wearing his Nuggets uniform Thursday when the Miami Heat come to Denver. "Guarantee you that,'' he said.
Anthony heard boos mixed in among some cheers while scoring 28 points Tuesday in a 132-98 beating of the hopeless Suns in a half-empty Pepsi Center. He said the boos didn't bother him, but he was taking the high road. He clearly notices the catcalls and he isn't used to it. "It doesn't bother me as long as I go out there and continue being the player that I am,'' he said. "Doing what I do.''
Anthony encouraged negative reactions by settling for eight points in a home loss Sunday to the Hornets. He followed that with a listless 1-for-4 display in the opening quarter against Phoenix, which ran out to a 32-18 advantage. Thereafter the Suns would be outscored 94-42 as Anthony rediscovered his jumper and the Nuggets attacked the basket as if they were the old Harlem Globetrotters against a defense resemblant of the Washington Generals.
Anthony finished with 28 points (on 17 shots) and 10 rebounds in 32 minutes. Shooting guard Arron Afflalo threw in a career-best 31 points and nine rebounds in 39 minutes to help Denver end a three-game losing streak.
Even though a minority of boos greeted Anthony at various times, all of his field goals and other winning plays were celebrated as always. The overwhelming sense of this frigid Tuesday evening was that the fans -- on this night, at least -- have checked out on the 21-16 Nuggets as they booed and cheered Anthony for their own amusement. He could not have felt during this game that he was being run out of town -- on the contrary, there was more a half-hearted admission from the audience that his eventual departure has already been accepted.
Anthony was in a good mood until he was asked after the game whether his wife, Lala Vasquez, was influencing his decision to refuse a three-year extension from the Nuggets and remain in Denver. Anthony insisted he was in charge of his own career decisions. "You can write this in bold,'' he said. "Lala has nothing to do with me staying here or me leaving. Please keep her out of it, thank you."
As frustrated and uncertain as the Nuggets surely feel amid the ongoing rumors of a blockbuster trade that would send Anthony to New Jersey, they could take heart in realizing that the Suns are in much worse shape. They were utterly defenseless over the final three quarters, and afterwards coach Alvin Gentry had no choice but to agree they had reached the low point of the Steve Nash era. "You dig yourself back out of it,'' he said. "You either pull yourself out of it by competing like crazy, or you don't.''
Both Gentry and Nash insisted this was a time for playing and not talking. But not so for the Nuggets -- they will continue to negotiate trades to deliver assets before Anthony can walk as a free agent this summer. In the meantime, a long-awaited appearance Thursday by LeBron James' Heat has been rendered something of an afterthought -- a distraction to the real ongoing story of the Nuggets and their franchise star.

Late Sunday morning a backcountry snowboarder -- a Denver man and a long-time rider in the Berthoud Pass area -- and his dog were buried and killed in a sizable hard slab avalanche on the north side of Mines Peak, just northeast of the summit of Berthoud Pass. This was the first Colorado and US avalanche fatality of the season.
The avalanche,outlined in red,occurred in a path called Mines Peak 1. The hard slab avalanche fractured 400 feet across and fell 800 vertical feet.
Late Friday night a stronger than expected storm brought snow and strong winds to the Front Range. At Loveland Pass (11.5 miles to the south-southwest) both Arapahoe Basin and Loveland Basin ski areas reported 15 inches of new snow by early Sunday morning. All of this snow fell from late Friday night and during the day Saturday. Weather instruments on Loveland Pass recorded strong westerly winds averaging almost 20-30 mph with gusts into the 50s and 60s, and very similar snowfall and winds were reported on Berthoud Pass.
By Sunday morning skies had cleared but strong winds continued to cause blowing snow and loading of avalanche starting zones. (By mid afternoon Sunday several local backcountry skiers had spotted natural slab avalanches that released during the day.)
On Sunday morning three snowboarders set out from the summit of Berthoud Pass looking for powder. They climbed to the east and then traversed northward to the shallow bowl on the north side of Mines Peak (Mines Peak 1). Above treeline they stepped into their boards. The first rider cut under the big wind-roll of drifted snow and rode to the trees just above where the gully starts. The second rider tarted down, followed by his dog, and was in the middle of the slope when the snow shattered like a pane of glass. In an instant he was tumbled and swept away. The slide had broken out at the feet of the third rider. The time was about 10:30 AM. At this point the details become very incomplete. The rider at the top returned to the summit of Berthoud Pass to get help. The first rider started searching for his friend.
Looking down Mines Peak 1. The victim was last seen in the middle of the slope. The avalanche was 400 feet wide at the top of the slope but narrowed to 100 feet where it spilled into the gully. Debris filled the gully, but it was generally only about 10-15 feet across. (Photo Dale Atkins)
Skiers and snowboarders organized a response and set out to help, while rescuers from Grand County Search and Rescue and Alpine Rescue Team responded. Several small groups of locals raced to the slide, but in their haste one group triggered a second sizable release on the adjacent slope (Mines Peak 2), and for a long time Sunday there was a very real fear that as many as 2 or 3 more people had been buried in this second avalanche.

Though the top several inches of snow was soft, underneath lurked a dangerous hard slab. The victim's friend rode down first without incident, but it was the victim who triggered the sizable hard slab (pencil hardness) avalanche in the avalanche path known as Mines Peak 1. The avalanche fractured from 1 to 3 feet (most of the slab was 1.5 feet thick) to the ground by 400 feet across, and released from an elevation of about 12,000 feet. It fell 800 vertical feet. The weak layer consisted of faceted (sugar-like) snow grains that formed after earlier October snows. The slope angle in this north-northeast facing starting zone measured 37 degrees. The avalanche ran a considerable distance and filled the lower gully with debris. The avalanche was classified as an HS-AR-R3D2-G.
Fracture line on Mines Peak 1. The depth in this spot is 2 feet. The top 4 inches is soft wind-affected snow. The middle 14 inches is very hard wind slab that was created by the weekend's new snow and strong winds. The bottom 6 inches is faceted sugar-like snow that first fell earlier in October. These grains had become loose and cohessionless. (Photo Dale Atkins)
Looking along the fracture line. Most of the fracture line was only about 1.5 feet deep, but did reach 3 feet in a few spots. The communication tower at the summit of Mines Peak is visible in the distance. (Photo Dale Atkins)
Apparently locals found the victim by spot probing near the toe of the debris just as organized rescuers arrived. The man had been buried for about 2 hours under 3-4 feet of snow. The victim had left behind -- either at home or in his car -- his transceiver. Efforts to resuscitate the victim failed, and Grand County Search and Rescue evacuated the body.
Rescuers from Alpine Rescue Team, Summit County Rescue Group, Flight for Life, and the Grand County and Clear Creek County Sheriffs' Offices assisted the rescue effort.
A steep slope, a weak layer of loose, faceted grains topped by a fresh wind slab only needed a trigger to set snow into motion. Tragically along came a group of riders looking for powder. In the simplest form it appears this accident was a case of powder lust, a dreaded malady that inflicts all of us who seek the steep and deep.
All the necessary ingredients for an avalanche were present and so too were the clues to the danger. The best clue were the strong winds and blowing snow that continued to load avalanche starting zones, even on Sunday morning. We have not yet spoken to the victim's friends, but we suspect that the hard snow conditions and earlier tracks may have caused false confidence.
A number of ski/rider tracks were on the east edge of the slide and we suspect those were put in late Saturday and maybe even a few on Sunday morning. Tracks are not a sign of stability and safety. Too often backcountry skiers and riders were just lucky that they did not hit the weakest zone of snow. A couple of other lessons learned deal with hard slabs and early season conditions.
Hard slab conditions on steep slopes should never be trusted. Recent weather conditions over the weekend -- strong winds -- were perfect for the formation of hard slabs.
Lastly, steep, high elevation northerly-facing slopes should never be trusted in the early season as it these slopes that will have the early-season weak layer. The dilemma is these same avalanche-prone slopes that have the snow and offer reasonable skiing and riding. The best advice we can offer is that we hope that you will use extra caution on these steep northerly aspects and be patient in your pursuit of powder. A small avalanche can ruin a whole more than just your day or season.

The Love Your Body Now Project
Healing Body Image Issues Through Fine Art Nudes (Beth)
Hello Beauties — I'm very excited to announce that photographer Beth Sanders, body coach Marlene Zaleznick and I are combining our super powers to create a positive body image project called, "Love Your Body Now."
The germination of this idea began two years ago when I was feeling disgruntled with my body.
After the birth of my two daughters and heading into peri-menopause, I weighed twenty pounds more than I did prior to becoming a mom.
I spent a great deal of time thinking about my stomach, to whom we'll refer as Gertrude.
I prognosticated about how wantonly she hung over the top of my now too-tight jeans.
The way she lay next to me when I slept on my side as if she were a small, incorrigible puppy.
In my 20s I'd had fine art nudes taken in order to see my body as it really was, not the way my critical eye (and an ex-boyfriend) saw it.
When the photos came back I hesitated to hope that what I saw before me was Beauty?
I ventured forth and showed my photos to just a few trusted friends.
They lavished my images with their approving gaze, so it was through the photos, and the kind, loving compliments, that I was able to love my body more, hence myself.
I believe how we feel about our bodies is ineluctably tied to how we feel about (and treat) ourselves in general.
So with Gertrude in tow, I decided to try the fine art nudes again, at 46. What the fucackta?
This time out it wasn't an immediate lovefest, but after I selected a few of the "better" shots, I showed them to my husband and my trusted friends. And then to everyone here.
The feedback was incredibly positive and I ultimately came to the same conclusion I'd come to in my 20s. Older, wiser, more to love. Still beautiful.
The experience was so positive I thought, "Why can't I do this for other women too?" Which is why I called Beth.
Beth's incredible photography runs the gamut from capturing life's big moments, wedding, engagement, the odd naughty boudoir to shooting subjects in her "Be" series, the tagline?
"What if an image of you as your Secret Self could help you recreate your lost dream?"
As Beth and I discussed how this project would unfold, I was startled when she unconsciously criticized her own body.
Beth's body is the kind I've always admired. Athletic, with lean, strong muscle. Yet here she was, finding fault, just like I'd done with my body?
She was particularly unsure of her breasts, having been in love with a man who told her he didn't think he could marry her because "the boob thing" was "holding him up."
He really wanted her to get a boob job. (He and my ex should date)
Fortunately, Beth didn't get a boob job and she absolutely didn't marry this joker. Bullet dodged.
It occurred to me that Beth should be the next subject in our fledgling body image issues project, and that she should take nudes of herself.
Without a moment's hesitation she agreed.
This is the email I received the following day:
"I shot myself today. Not much luck. I actually thought I looked ok until I saw the damn photos. 50-year-old loose skin. wtf? Anyway, I didn't like my lighting and my foot kept cramping up, so I am going to try again tomorrow."
The next day I received the photos Beth "kind of liked," which includes the photo above. It was my turn to say wtf, because for 50 or any age, Beth is stunning:
During our post-photo shoot interview, I asked Beth to tell me five beautiful things about her body:
"Well, I like my ribcage," she said.
"Your ribcage?" I queried, a bit stumped. "What do you like about your ribcage?"
"That it doesn't stick out further than my boobs."
Okay, we were not really batting one out of the self-love ballpark.
"What's the second thing you think is beautiful about your body?" I tried again.
"Well, I like my butt. Most of the time."
I'm not entirely sure which times Beth doesn't like her butt. Does it go out after kerfew and smoke cloves? What's up with that butt, because to my eyes it's pretty freakin' awesome.
"And my legs are a good feature."
At this point we were only on the third thing Beth finds beautiful about her body, and it felt like I was water boarding her to get her to say nice things about herself.
"Is that five yet?" she asked.
Sweet mother of God we women, I thought. Is it the constant onslaught of photo-shopped images of twelve-year-olds passed off as grown women that are causing us such self-doubt?
Is it the insidious and persistent sexual objectification of the female form in media and advertising that has us self-objectifying and feeling like we always come up short?
In answer to my own questions I found a recent article published in Psych Central titled, "Why Do Women Hate Their Bodies?" by Dr. Carolyn Coker Ross, MD.
Dr. Ross says that 80% of women in the U.S. are dissatisfied with their bodies. And this:
"Over time, models have gone from thin to emaciated, which has been mirrored by a growing problem of eating disorders and body image dissatisfaction.
In 1975, most models weighed 8 percent less than the average woman. Today they weigh 23 percent less.
Compared to the Playboy centerfolds and Miss America winners from the 1950s, at least one-quarter of present-day icons meet the weight criteria for anorexia."
"Herein lies the real damage. The more an individual is exposed to the media, the more he or she believes it is reflective of the real world.
What most people still don't realize, is that the majority of the pictures they see in magazines are altered in some way and that looking like their role models is physically impossible. It is a setup for self-hatred."
This is why I decided to try a different route with Beth.
Rather than forcing her to acknowledge the beauty in herself, I decided to do what my husband and friends had done for me.
"I'm going to tell you all the things I find beautiful about your body," I told Beth.
"Oh, okay." She sounded doubtful, as if I might be risking my life like James Phelps in Mission Impossible, having chosen to accept the assignment of sincerely complimenting her.
"First," I said, "I love the shape of your head. You have a perfectly shaped head and your close-cropped haircut complements it perfectly."
"Oh," Beth said. Her voice had become quiet, still, soft and listening.
"I think you have beautiful, broad shoulder and incredible musculature in your back."
"Marry me," Beth said with a chuckle. But again I sensed her vulnerability. Her slight discomfort with accepting compliments.
"Also, the skin on your bottom and thighs looks soft, translucent and smooth as porcelain. You also have a perfect butt."
She immediately explained that she's never had cellulite, because she's always been an athlete.
But it seemed that, rather than embracing the compliment, she felt she had to apologize a little for her perfect tush.
And these are the things I forgot to mention during our interview.
Beth, are you reading this? Are you listening? Please type this up, frame it and put it in your boudoir.
I envy your flat, hard belly. Gertrude saw this photo and was quite put out. She immediately had to have some chocolate and a few canapes.
I am ignoring Gertrude and am telling you that you should wear nothing but bikinis and a smile.
And now for your breasts. I know you said you thoroughly dislike your nipples, because they are bent in half from "86 years of nursing" and that you cross your arms over your chest to hide your flatness when "buff, hot manly men" pass by in the gym.
Here's what I think.
I saw your nipples, which I'm not posting here, because we need to remain PG-13, and they look absolutely awake and ready to dance.
As for the rest of your breasts, they're perfect for your long, lean, athletic body. You can run your marathons without them bouncing up into your face and weighing you down.
You can also wear those plunging necklines sans bra like Amy Adams in American Hustle and they will remain pert, friendly and sexy.
And there is one word I love so much that seems to succinctly describe your entire physique. Gamine.
Dictionary Definition of Gamine:
"A slim, often boyish, elegant, wide-eyed young woman who is, or is perceived to be, mischievous, teasing or sexually appealing."
Now, kind readers, it is our job to tell Beth the Beauty we see in these photos and to leave loving, supportive comments so that she can see what we see.
And Love Her Body Now.
If you live in the Boulder, Colorado area and wish to participate in this project please contact me or Beth on her website.

Beth looks great! I agree, she has a perfect butt. I liked the line of her back in those pictures too.
I love this project. Recently I received a much needed confidence boost after having boudoir photos done. I was partly inspired by your previous self-image posts. So thank you 🙂Reply this comment

Beth looks beautiful! I was so impressed with this post, and the photos, that I shared with my hubby. He, too, was impressed with Beth's photos, and now would like me to have a photo session! I love that you both are working on women's healthy images of ourselves. We need to quit beating ourselves up and enjoy our real beauty.Reply this comment

Love these pics! Would love to do some of myself at 40. I'm about 15 lbs over my "usual" weight…and have been for a couple of years, so I guess it's time to adjust the scales!Reply this comment
Shannon Author 18 February, 2014, 08:11
That darn "usual weight" does lurk around the peripheries of my mind and hasn't been my "usual weight" in 10 years. So I'm changing the number permanently xoReply this comment

So, for the rest of you readers, I will let you know that I used to live with Shannon as her roomate for a few years in my 20's. Being two women living together with one bathroom we often saw each other naked and, well, being who Shannon is, she often felt the need to comment on my naked form as well as her own. If you've all been reading her blog for a while now, you've seen her naked photos so you know what I was up against. Let's just say that I do NOT have the body that Shannon has. But I will also tell you this. She had a way of focusing on my body's beauty that I could not see myself. She wasn't just flippantly handing over empty compliments but making true observations and looking for the beauty that was there to be found. And she can be very persuasive when she wants to be. 😉 I still hear her voice in my head sometimes when I look at my naked body in the mirror and find myself criticizing it. Isn't it fascinating how my husband can compliment me a hundred thousand times about my body, God bless him, but it's so important to hear it from a woman? And I also know how easy it is to brush aside those compliments we hear from our women friends and not to really believe them somehow. Shannon, I love that you're doing this project. I love that you are helping other women see their physical beauty in this world that leaves us all so self critical, especially as we age.Reply this comment
And Beth, you are beautiful. Your body looks so strong and smooth and powerful and yet has such softness. I can't see your breasts or nipples in these photos but I work with new moms in my line of work and I absolutely know that a breastfeeding mom nursing her babies is breathtakingly beautiful. And, while our breasts may never look the same again, what's left behind are the battle scars of motherhood and those scars are awesome in their own right. I've come to the conclusion that my body has served me well at different times in my life. Right now I'm raising two big healthy boys and it's quite possible that I need a little extra weight on my body to do that. So I try to appreciate the strength it gives me. I try…. 😉

Beth is beautiful! I love how smooth her skin is, and how muscular she is. Her abs are to die for! I am getting a lot better at loving myself but still have a few issues. It's a work in progress.
I used to weigh 233 pounds and am currently 159 so I have loose skin around my abdomen and thighs, and my legs and calves are larger than average, but I've seen pictures of women worse off than I am, and have to say that above my waist I'm rather happy with my body.
We all have our issues – I have to say. Starting on the journey to love myself was how I finally started losing weight after struggling for years. It's something I'm incredibly passionate about – helping other women find their self love and helping them lose weight. Thank you for doing this project!Reply this comment

Hello,Reply this comment
I loved your petition and obviously petitioned for it.
I was raised in a completely raised in a different culture where thin was BAD, POOR, BROKE and SOS, where I grew up, FAT in the in thing. If you are healthy, its just normal, if you are fat, you are RICH, WELL OFF.
I am totally confused. I was soooo THIN as hell, and thus life wasnt fun, when I moved, am round,m i got fat… living in a world of confusion!!
What is healthy?
I would love for some people to look at my pictures and tell me about me. I cant tell about me, whether I am fat or thin, healthy or not. i love both lands, home and America, but I am lost on what I should be and wht the middle ground is… its 2 extremes….
I would love to do a Nude photoshoot with Beth, just for honest feed back…. oftenly 110% i am beating myself up.
I live in Chicago now.

Hi Collette — Beth is actually shooting women who come in from out of state. If this is something you are serious about doing you should click on the link to Beth's site and contact her. She'd be happy to work you in when it's convenient for you, but you would have to pay for your airfare and lodging while in Boulder, Colorado (where Beth lives).Reply this comment
Ashley 17 March, 2014, 13:40
This is beautiful. But as someone who has always had a skinny and boyish body, and therefore struggled to see my body as womanly, I always get uncomfortable when I see well-intentioned women saying things such as this:
"Sweet mother of God we women, I thought. Is it the constant onslaught of photo-shopped images of twelve-year-olds passed off as grown women that are causing us such self-doubt?"
Can we be more mindful of every woman's struggle for confidence, regardless of her body type, and not overcompensate by punishing the body image of skinny women?Reply this comment
Shannon Author 17 March, 2014, 14:13
Hi Ashley — thanks so much for your comment. You are absolutely right. Body image issues come in all shapes and sizes. Even the women whose bodies we covet are equally affected. I appreciate you pointing this out to me. xo SReply this comment
Adela 3 April, 2014, 11:25
Beth's body is beautiful. so athletic and fine.
Now a word about Gertrude. I took a short story class a couple years ago. The teacher, a middle-aged man, wrote a story about a man who had to tell his children that their mother, the love of his life, had died. As he's remembering her, he thinks about spooning with her in the early morning. The image he brings is not the 22 year old taunt woman he married, but the comfortable folds, like the folds of a Sharpai puppy. I loved his image of soft folds he got lost in. Gertrude is a cuddler.Reply this comment
Heather 4 April, 2014, 11:48
I came to you to ask you to reword your change.org petition. I understand. I do. I get the place where it's from. But that malnourished-looking, too-thin girl? That's my daughter. On four thousand calories a day. That's who she is. Naturally, without eating tissues soaked in nail polish remover or whatever the current phase is in anorexic modeling. That's her. And she agonizes about it daily. It's funny, by "fashion standards" she's perfect…and all she wants is to be normal. You would call her "visibly malnourished" but I call her mine. Perhaps we could ask the fashion industry to include more body types than attacking the current types. Because, guess what? They think they're ugly, too. And you just called them abnormal.Reply this comment

Why are you constantly fixated by how you look? Your body is the package that your mind lives in. All you need to know is that you are happy and healthy but instead you are fixated by a constant search for perfection which you will agree no one is. These magazines are run by women for women and yet I am constantly hearing about this imaginary "war on women". Im just wondering, if there is a "war on women" who is the enemy? Is it the other women who publish these magazines because as a male I am not interested in Vanity Fair, Yves St Laurent, Cosmo or any of that other rubbish you girls find so important in your lives. There is a movie and book that tells us what is important in life, Eat, Pray , Love, nothing else is really that important that it should become an obsessionReply this comment
Shannon Author 7 July, 2014, 08:37
Hey Glenn – what to say? You're a man. This doesn't completely negate your point of view, there is a fixation with this issues, but that's because it is an issue. Also, the magazines you mentioned aren't made by women. Most of them are predominantly run by men.Reply this comment
Mel 11 December, 2014, 22:26
Well…men's mags don't help…run by men. The porn culture doesn't help…run by men. Advertising is dominated by…men. Nor do comments by men on forums, tv, sports programs, newspapers, our own lovers, family or husbands etc about what makes a woman 'hot' and acceptable. It's a difficult standard of firm but soft, slender in some parts and fleshy in others (in the right proportion ie. 0.7 whr, full perky breasts etc), hairless, tan / no tan, long hair etc. Very difficult to navigate being bombarded by an onslaught of comments and evaluations since very young and impressionable even by male class mates or strangers on the street. A pressure and brainwashing that I can't ever imagine a man who would make the above comment would understand.Reply this comment

Ogden's Sign (Diablo I Quest)
This quest involves a signpost which has been stolen from Ogden the tavern owner. If this quest is available, it will be impossible to enter the Catacombs until it has been completed except with the use of Teleport. It is initiated by speaking to Ogden anytime after entering the third floor of the dungeon. The Signpost itself is on level four, near the stairs, guarded by several Overlords. However, it is in a locked chest, and Snotspill, a leader of the Dark Ones, has the key. He will give it to the hero but will insist that the sign be returned to him. Retrieving the sign and returning it to Ogden will complete the quest and the hero will be rewarded with the Harlequin Crest. However, when the hero again approaches Snotspill, he will trigger an ambush of many Dark Ones as well as Snotspill himself. The hero can also give the sign to Snotspill instead of taking it back to Ogden, but Snotspill will still attack and you can no longer get the Harlequin Crest from Ogden. Behind Snotspill's room is the stairwell to the Catacombs.
This quest shares the same quest group as The Butcher and Gharbad the Weak, meaning only two of these three quests will appear in any given game.
Quest Activation Dialog
Ogden: "Master, I have a strange experience to relate. I know that you have a great knowledge of those monstrosities that inhabit the Labyrinth, and this is something that I cannot understand for the very life of me... I was awakened during the night by a scraping sound just outside of my Tavern. When I looked out from my bedroom, I saw the shapes of small Demon-like creatures in the inn yard. After a short time, they ran off, but not before stealing the sign to my Inn. I don't know why the demons would steal my sign but leave my family in peace... 'Tis strange, no?"
NPC Quest Dialog
Adria: "No Mortal can truly understand the mind of the Demon. Never let their erratic actions confuse you, as that too may be their plan."
Deckard Cain: "I see that this strange behavior puzzles you as well. I would surmise that since many Demons fear the Light of the Sun and believe that it holds great power, it may be that the Rising Sun depicted on the sign you speak of has led them to believe that it too holds some arcane powers. Hmm, perhaps they are not all as smart as we had feared..."
Farnham: "You know what I think? Somebody took that sign, and they gonna want lots of money for it. If I was Ogden... and I'm not, but if I was... I'd just buy a new sign with some pretty drawing on it. Maybe a nice mug of ale or a piece of cheese..."
Gillian: "Oh, my! Is that where the sign went? My grandmother and I must have slept right through the whole thing. Thank the Light that those monsters didn't attack the Inn."
Griswold: "Demons stole Ogden's Sign, you say? That doesn't sound much like the atrocities I've heard of - or seen. Demons are concerned with ripping out your heart, not your signpost."
Pepin: "My goodness, Demons running about the village at night, pillaging our homes - is nothing sacred? I hope that Ogden and Garda are all right. I suppose that they would come to see me if they were hurt..."
Wirt: "What - is he saying I took that? I suppose that Griswold is on his side, too. Look, I got over simple sign stealing months ago. You can't turn a profit on a piece of wood."
Snotspill, first encounter: "Hey - you that one that kill all! You get me magic banner or we attack! You no leave with Life! You kill big uglies and give back magic. Go past corner and door. Find uglies. You give, you go!"
Snotspill, second encounter: "You kill uglies, get banner. You bring to me, or else..."
Snotspill, final encounter: "You give! Yes, good! Go now, we strong! We kill all with big magic! (laughs)"
Quest Completion Dialog
Ogden: "Oh, you didn't have to bring back my sign, but I suppose that it does save me the expense of having another one made. Well, let me see. What could I give you as a fee for finding it? Hmmm. What have we here... Ah, yes! This cap was left in one of the rooms by a magician who stayed here some time ago. Perhaps it may be of some value to you."

The Coordinated Assessment Model (CAM) is a systematic approach to homelessness in Detroit, Highland Park and Hamtramck that focuses on aligning the needs of individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of becoming homeless to available shelter and housing resources.
The CAM's vision is to orchestrate a community response that creates an accessible, efficient path to housing for households facing homelessness.
Coordinated Entry is an effective key to federal, state, and local resources. HUD Coordinated Entry Notice, released in January 2017, outlines the requirements around coordinated entry.

Most costumes look better with some type of hat or headpiece. Make a quick and easy tam to add the final touch to many types of costumes. It can be a green hat for a resident of the Emerald City, or a plaid tam for a Scottish dancer. You can make a ragged hat for a street urchin, or a quick topper for a Renaissance fair participant. This hat takes less than half a yard of fabric and you can make it in minutes.
Measure the wearer's head around the forehead.
Use the tape measure to draw a circle that size in the center of a 15-by-15-inch square of fabric. You can also divide the measurement by 3.14 and use a compass to draw a circle with that diameter on the fabric.
Draw another circle 2 inches larger than the first circle.
Cut two circles of fabric the size of the large circle you drew. Cut out the smaller circle in the center of one of the circles.
Sew the circles together by stacking one on top of the other and sewing around the outside edge, 1/4 inch from the edge.
Turn the tam right-side out.
Things You'll Need
- Tape measure
- Felt or double knit fabric
- Fabric marker
- Compass (optional)
- Sewing machine
- Matching thread
You can add a band of ribbed knit trim around the opening of the hat or a pompom to the center of the top of the hat.

Many Knicks fans have wondered if Metta World Peace will go back to his original name -- Ron Artest -- now that he's back in New York.
It looks like those fans may get their wish.
World Peace said in an interview with ClevverNews that he plans to change his name this season, though not legally.
"We are going to do do a name change, but I can't tell you what it is," World Peace told an interviewer with ClevverNews.
World Peace added that he did not want to go through the process of changing his name legally again until he retires. "That's too much work," he said.
So that means he will have "World Peace" on the back of his Knicks jersey this season, but may answer to another name.
The New Yorker formerly known as Ron Artest legally changed his name to Metta World Peace in September 2011. He said at the time that he wanted to "inspire and bring youth together all around the world."
Though he he did not reveal what his new name will be, we have a few guesses of our own:
• Carlos Danger
• George Alexander Louis
• Most Interesting Man in the World
• Walt Frazier
• Mike Woodson
• Jay Z
What do you think World Peace's new name should be? What will it be? Leave your suggestion in the comments section below:
