It often amazes me how the shows I have really detailed memories of watching had much shorter runs than I assumed. That is especially the case with a lot of Hanna-Barbera Productions. I guess the constant reruns and massive variety of shows they put out confused my young mind. It might also be the toys that I had for some of these shows that lasted a lot longer than the shows. In the case of Inch High Private Eye I had a small gun that I inherited from my sister that shot yellow pellets. I used it as my sneaky spy gun — The action on it was terrible.
You would think I would not be surprised when I read that a show only had 1 season and 13 episodes, but I always think to myself "no way!" That was exactly my reaction when I started watching my copy of Inch High Private Eye (now available from the Warner Archive.)
In this Warner classic Inch High is the diminutive operative of the Finkerton Detective Agency. Literally an inch tall, he stil stands tall against the forces of perfidy, making Saturday mornings safe for all good citizens from the halcyon year of 1973 to today. Ably aided by niece Lori, her hulking boyfriend Gator and his loyal dog Braveheart, Inch High uses his pint-sized stature to foil the most complex and nefarious of schemes. Whether battling Spumoni the Great, Mr. Midas, or King Ra, or teaming up with the likes of Super Flea and Goldie, the world's greatest goldfish, Inch High's stalwart heart always shines through despite his picayune stature and sometimes less-than-stellar mental gymnastics.
Junior crime-fighters will find a complete collection of Inch's adventures spread across this 13-Episode, 2-Disc Collection. Featuring the voice work of Lennie Weinrib (H.R. Pufnstuf) as Inch High and the legendary Don Messick as Braveheart as well as a very memorable theme contributed by the great Hoyt Curtin.
Order your copy from the Warner Archive today or if you prefer to wait a bit longer, you can order the show through Amazon.

Get Important Information About Child Eye Care
Special care for the health of children's eyes
Learn the secrets of eye health and help defeat Professor Blur through:
View Activity Book Three
Everywhere a child's eyes look they're seeing something for the first time. It's up to you to make sure they are seeing everything as clearly and vividly as possible.
Trust your Doctor of Optometry at or next to your neighborhood Pearle Vision for your children's vision sooner rather than later to help make sure they don't miss a thing.
What to watch out for:
- Rubbing of the eyes
- Frequent headaches
- Squinting
- Holding objects or books unusually close or far away
- Excessive blinking
- Favoring one eye by covering it or turning their head
- Eyes that are not aligned or are not working together
- Red, swollen or encrusted eyes
- Recurring sties or infections on eyelids
If you notice any of these signs in your children, schedule an eye exam* at the Independent Doctor of Optometry at or next to your neighborhood Pearle Vision as soon as possible. Call 1-800-YES-EYES or use our EyeCare Center locator to find the address and phone number of the Independent Doctor of Optometry* nearest you.
When should my children have their vision checked?
- Birth to 24 months: By 6 months, or as recommended by their doctor
- Toddlers: At 3 years old is generally good time to come back in
- 6 and older: Before first grade and annually thereafter
Eyes need sunblock too
Children are especially vulnerable to damaging UV rays because they typically spend longer amounts of time outdoors. If your child already wears eyeglasses, we offer free testing to determine if they're getting enough UV protection. If they are not, you should add UV-blocking lenses to their glasses.
If your doctor* determines your child needs eyeglasses, we have a wide selection of glasses and frames designed specifically for kids and their active lifestyles, including protective eyewear:
- Polycarbonate lenses** are lightweight, impact- and scratch-resistant lenses perfectly suited for active kids (and active adults too).
- Polycarbonate** safety glasses offer superior comfort and UV protection for children. All of our kidSAFE protective eyewear includes 100% UV protection.
** No lenses are 100% shatterproof or unbreakable.

04. The Cafe at Hotel Mulia | The Restaurant Guide 2012
Thursday, August 2nd, 2012
By Lawrence Karol
Great food and great design don't always go hand in hand—but they should. From a small pizza joint in New York City to a massive art-infused former factory in Sydney, these amazing spaces will sate your appetite for both wonderfully-prepared dishes and creative interiors.
Jakarta, Indonesia
One of the primary goals of any hotel should be to make you feel like it's your home away from home. Dan Kwan, design director of Wilson Associates, took that notion to heart when he planned the layout of The Cafe at Hotel Mulia. He worked with the idea in mind that the restaurant needed to appeal to locals, as well as a very international clientele.
His solution was to avoid the usual one-size-fits-all style of many other hotel restaurants and instead to take a more residential room-by-room approach that creates different environments within one large space. Craving Asian cuisine? Stop into the Asian kitchen where orange hues evoke tropical weather. Or maybe some sashimi? Grab a table next to the large trumpet-shaped column covered with Sakura flowers. Just craving some regular Western fare? A room bedecked in an English rose motif might be more your style. Any way you slice it, you're sure to find a spot that will make you feel right at home.
FOOD: International
DON'T MISS DISH: Dan Kwan says the Sop Buntut (translated as "soup backside") is addictive.
It's a clear oxtail consommé with Indonesian spices, served with fluffy white rice and belinjo
crackers made from a bitter local nut, and a sweet, smoky-inky black sauce called kecup
manis (sweet ketchup).
Knock it down and start again.

Celebrated comedians include Bill Hicks, George Carlin and Robin Williams. Robin Williams has been especially praised for his voice talent, physical comedy and improvisational skills on stage, which typically led to unpredictable, ever adapting material, according to James Dulworth, the manager of New York's Dangerfield Comedy Club. Williams was also known for his off-the-cuff responses to audience members, particularly in his direct interactions with them at the end of his early Comedy Store performances in Hollywood.
Bill Hicks often performed upwards of 250 shows in a year. His earliest experiences in stand-up comedy were alongside his childhood friend, Dwight Slade, when they were both 12. At 16, the pair began performing at the Comedy Workshop in Houston, where Hicks honed his art. He moved to Los Angeles in 1980 and performed shows at the Hollywood Comedy Store alongside comedians such as Andrew Dice Clay, Jerry Seinfeld and Gary Shandling. His first comedy album, Dangerous (1990) was well-received by critics, who continued to praise him throughout his career, according to Paul Outhwaite.
George Carlin, who received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1987, is often featured on lists of the greatest comedians of all time. He died in 2008, less than a week before he was due to be awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

On the Shoulders of Tebow: Florida's Road to a National ChampionshipSeptember 12, 2008
The SEC Conference seems to be the conference of champions the past two years (Florida in 2006, LSU in 2007). Now the present danger of the SEC this year is the same as in years past; everyone has the possibility of winning it.
Well, besides Ole Miss and South Carolina, who seem to perpetually fall short or mess up, respectively.
The road has many intersecting paths, but let us look at the road that we Gator fans alike hope to see.
It is a tough road indeed, but with the arm of Tebow, the legs of Percy, and that defense that seems to be gaining confidence and momentum, there is a nice possibility for another fancy trophy at the end of this year's road.
First stop on this road was with Hawaii. 56-10. Enough said there.
Second stop was Miami. 26-3. Although a nice score, the teams duelled all the way through the third quarter when Florida's conditioning showed and they took advantage with sheer strength.
Next stop is Knoxville, Tenn., home of the Volunteers. It is a tough environment to play in and has a lot of historic games between the two teams in this stadium.
The most recent one to my memory was the night Wilhoit missed the extra point and then hit a 55-yard field goal to win it with six seconds left in 2004. Needless to say, Wilhoit probably was gettin' lucky that night.
This year there is a grudge on the table. Tennessee was embarrassed 59-20 in Gainesville a year ago. Now it is time for revenge and what better way to start SEC conference play than a win against Florida to hurt the Gators' chances of going to the title game. Again.
Fourth stop on the road to a title is Ole Miss at home. Ole Miss has always proven tough for the Gators. Last year at Ole Miss, the Gators narrowly escaped with a victory 30-24. Hopefully this year they will come out with something to prove against a rebuilding team.
Fifth on the title drive, Florida travels to Arkansas. This may prove to be an easy game, or seem to be that way. LSU went in thinking it would be an easy game to win and ended up losing, almost losing a chance at a title. Hopefully the Gators will have their heads on straight and take nothing as easy this year.
A rematch! To go 6-0, the Gators must take on LSU at home. They look for revenge after a late fourth-quarter loss in Baton Rouge last year. What goes around comes around. This one should prove to be an exciting rematch and hopefully a good win as it was in the 2006 season.
Next up is the Bluegrass State of Kentucky. While the Wildcats have had some offseason setbacks, the defense looks scrappy enough to go into conference play at 4-0.
This may prove to be tricky for the Gators because just like everyone else, the Wildcats come to play against Florida and may prove to be a tougher foe than meets the eye.
Now for the test of the year. The ever popular, oh so hyped, Florida-Georgia game. This is looking to be the battle for the SEC East this year.
Although both teams seem pretty stacked, Florida's defense has to get together and stop Moreno from his vicious running attack and Stafford from his nice passing skills.
The key to this game will be defense. Without it, this could look like a PAC-10 game, and who in the SEC wants that?
After the test of the year, which possibly, as it seems at this point, could decide the fate of the SEC East, the Gators travel to Vanderbilt.
This has always seemed like the easy game of the year, but for the Gators it is a yearly struggle. In 2005, the Gators almost lost at home in double-OT against Vandy. It is a yearly struggle, but the Gators have put together a 17-game win streak against Vandy.
This year, Vandy seems to be a stout team. This one seems to be in the favor of the Gators, and for fun predicting purposes, I'll say Gators by 24.
The kick is up. Jarvis Moss blocks the kick! The Gators survive! This was in the 2005-2006 season when this kick became known as the "Cock Block".
Now back in Gainesville two years later, the Gators as previously stated are poised for a championship. Nothing makes for a good rival like an Ol' Ball Coach against his former team that he took from nothing to one of the most outstanding programs of the 90's.
The break in the Gators schedule, The Citadel. This should prove to be nothing more than a practice squad game. No huge challenge.
Of course, that's what Michigan said about Appalachian State one year ago. I don't think Urban Meyer will let something like that happen though. No worries. The Gators prevail in true high scoring fashion.
The final game of the season and the rival of the ages, at Florida State. Last year in the swamp, the Gators made it look easy. This year it will be Senior Day in Tallahassee.
Florida has to come in with confidence and poise. It is a rivalry that Florida has won four times in a row, and the Gators hold the series advantage. Be careful, though, because all rankings go out the door in a rivalry game.
Hopefully the next game on the schedule will be a great SEC Championship game. Of course, this early in the season it is anybody's for the taking.
My prediction is that either Auburn or Alabama will be the victor from the SEC West. This could turn out to be an exciting match up and determine the National Championship with whomever may play.
As all Gator fans would hope, the final stop would be at the National Championship. There are many things that could happen to cause the Gators to be in or out, but all fingers crossed this is one of the more hyped years in Gator football history in the recent pass aka post-Spurrier era.
Things could shake out to make a great football season, but as for most Gator fans like myself we want one thing: Another Championship, with Tebow leading the team himself. It makes for an exciting year and fun all the same.
I leave this article saying "Go Gators!" Let's see what happens!!!

One of my and my sisters, favourite toys whilst growing up in the early 1980's was Fashion Plates. Check out that hat!
We used to sit for hours, changing the outfits, carefully colouring them in and designing our own little fashion collections. The plates were clunky and plastic, it took quite a bit of practice to keep the plates still whilst placing paper over them before rubbing furiously with a crayon to create the outline.
My little girl also loves fashion and creating, designing and colouring new outfits so when I saw the 2010's version of Fashion Plates I had to get it. Style Me Up is, essentially, a colouring book with stencils, stickers and pages and pages of models waiting to be dressed.
I'm not sure who likes it more… safe to say we have spent hours colouring and stencilling to our hearts content! I'm very tempted to get my own book so I don't have to share…

|New Years Resolutions
By: Aria E. Appleford
As we move into the New Year many people are obsessed with making New Year Resolutions. In many cases, they will be the same resolutions they make every year and they will fervently try to make them work, only to give up some time in January and then wait for the next December to come around to find the courage to try again.
The problem with setting goals like this is that instead of inspiring us, these goals end up becoming constant reminders of our inadequacies. They hang over us and whisper in our ears of our failure until we end up using them as weapons to bash our already bruised egos.
Jose commented that people err when they say they can do whatever they want in life. Real success is found in understanding what you were meant to do, and then doing it. So many of our goals and pursuits in life are based on what others expect and want from us. Do people want to lose weight because they want to be healthy, or to fit some image manufactured in a fashion magazine that they think will make them more popular? Why do we want more money? To have the best car in the office or the biggest house on the block? When we find out what it is we were meant to do and put our time and energy into pursuing that, success comes, happiness intact.
Sometimes, reality does not allow us as middle-aged people, the luxury of mapping out our entire lives again. We have bills to pay, people who depend on us, and many other commitments. The idea of "undoing" can be so overwhelming as to cause people deep despair and to give up on the idea that their lives could be any different. The truth is that you can find the part of you that is real and you can find a way to add that dimension into your day to day. The creative person who now finds themselves on an assembly line in a factory for a living, can find a way to bring creativity into his work – perhaps it is in their dress, their work station, the social club they volunteer for … there are always ways to start honoring self in any situation. Like any seed planted, a little sunshine, water and attention, and it grows and wonderful things begin to happen.
So spend the time this year looking not for empty resolutions but begin with a simple ideal that works for you. Pick a theme that is going to govern your life, if you will.
Begin by looking at your life and getting to the core of what is going on for you and what you need. (not what others need of you or want for you … what YOU need.) You can do this by focusing on your feelings – follow them to find what is lacking. Then use that painful place to create a positive affirmative countermeasure – feeling out of control and lacking self discipline when it comes to food and exercise – you might chose "discipline," or "moderation." It can be helpful to look at other areas of your life – is this a problem there as well? (Children who can learn to delay immediate gratification are almost guaranteed of a more successful life.) Use the word you chose to be your "ideal" for the coming year. Let it govern and temper all your decisions. As you go through the year you can take pride in the fact this is a process and you are working on the underlying SOURCE of the problem and making daily progress. You can enjoy and participate in the journey and realize the destination is simply a place you will one day arrive.
Using the Silva techniques to enhance this process makes it even more valuable. The 3 scene technique works beautifully, and using the positive imagery in your daily meditation practices is also beneficial. Work on your immediate problems and then as you conquer them you will find yourself arriving at a life "ideal." I carry mine in a special necklace that is a little silver tube with a screw off top and room for a tiny scroll. I remind myself of it daily and take it into consideration whenever I am faced with decisions, "which path honors my ideal best?" It is just one way to help take the frenetic pace out of living and allow yourself to sit back and enjoy the journey.
My wish for all of you in the New Year is simply peace – peace of heart and mind and soul - that you may find within you the love that has always been there.

"Yes", Fingers would tell anyone who asked, "I WAS a thief ONCE. That was how I got the nickname. Either from the sticky fingers I had when I was a kid nicking stuff from the sweetshop or, later, from being the best at undoing a safe's combination lock!"
He would then normally go on to explain that all that was now behind him; that umpteen years in Strangeways or the 'Scrubs had taught him a lesson and that NOTHING would EVER induce him to go back to that way of life again. He was, in fact, so sincere when he told anyone this that all (including Probation Officers who should, perhaps, have known better!) believed him.
To be completely fair it is quite possible that he believed it himself; he had, indeed, "gone straight" for an unprecedentedly long time since his last incarceration. Had anyone thought to ask him about it, a well-intentioned warder from Fingers' last prison would have claimed a good deal of credit for this. He had spent a substantial amount of time trying to find Fingers a suitable hobby to occupy his time on the principle that "the devil finds work for idle hands".
It was this warder who found the answer, suffering as he did from a kind of claustrophobia that should not normally have put him into that kind of job. He was accustomed, whenever domestically feasible, to take himself and his fishing tackle to the nearby Essex coast there to sit for hours in isolation attempting to persuade Piscine life forms to swallow sharp pieces of metal. Whenever he met with any success at this the whole prison would hear of it and Fingers, to his own surprise, found himself interested.
As he was nearing the end of his sentence (with full remission for good behaviour) the warder was able to persuade his superiors that he should take his new convert with him on some of his trips. Fingers surprised everyone by showing a natural talent for the sport. His own particular forte (and all fisherman have some sort of speciality) turned out to be what is known to the more common amongst the angling fraternity as "flattie-bashing". For the uninitiated this means targeting those species such as Plaice, Dabs and Flounders which, unlike Cod or Whiting which are distinctly round in cross section, were designed (after gutting, filleting and cooking of course) as readymade sandwich fillers.
After a while it became true to say that if there were flatfish in a stretch of water Fingers could catch them and it did not take long for the inevitable change to be made to his nickname. "Fingers" became "Fish-fingers"! He was rather pleased at this as it gave him a simple explanation when questioned by the terminally nosy as to how he had come by the name.
Released at last Fingers was able, aided by his new found enthusiasm, to obtain a job working on a market stall in an East London suburb. He was selling (what else?) fish. This did not keep him in the same style as he had enjoyed in his previous lifestyle but he was able to boost his fairly poor earnings by selling some of his own catches with the stock supplied to him.
This was, of course, just as dishonest as stealing but as the only losers were the Inland Revenue he did not think that he would find a jury that would convict him and he was probably right. Nevertheless it may be that getting away with this small dishonesty sowed the seeds of his downfall.
When not working Fingers would disappear, sometimes for days at a time, in an old van borrowed from a friend on the promise of a share of the catch. He would take his fairly small collection of tackle (mostly old stuff given to him by the warder) and a garden fork and drive off to the less accessible tidal reaches of the rivers Blackwater, Crouch or Thames. There, after spending a few hours at low tide digging out a supply of worms, he would relax under a patched old umbrella and start catching fish. That is where we find him on that fateful November Sunday when his world fell apart!
Fingers had been out on the muddy stretches of Wallasea Island on the River Crouch, opposite and just downstream from Burnham, since early Saturday morning. The weather was particularly cold and damp and the fishing had been almost spectacularly good throughout the day and on into darkness. For no apparent reason, however, the bites had stopped just before midnight and by 5 a.m. when it began to rain Fingers was thoroughly dejected and decided that enough was enough!
Putting away his fishing tackle took only seconds but he lingered in his usual meticulous way over the sorting of his catch. The fish had been gutted as they had been caught but had now to be sorted into black plastic bin bags for each of the different species that he had caught. Fingers had found that this made it easier to infiltrate his own fish among the others on the stall. By using white bags for the van owner's share he could also ensure that his friend did not get all of the best stuff!
Having pulled the converted golf trolley, on which his gear was loaded, back to the van Fingers prepared to drive home. On attempting to light up, however, he discovered to his disgust that he had left his last remaining pack of cigarettes on the riverbank the best part of a mile away. Fingers had always been a smoker and considered in his own mind that a constant supply of nicotine was as essential to his mental well being as fishing.
In this situation he would normally have hurried back for the packet. It had now begun to rain extremely heavily, however, and it was obvious that they would be ruined long before he could get his waterproofs back on. Cursing at this nasty end to an otherwise successful weekend he drove off, telling himself that even on a Sunday there must be a shop SOMEWHERE opening early for Newspapers.
The rain continued to crash down in that torrential fashion that makes it seem as if it is bouncing back up into the sky to have another go at falling! Fingers was unable, in the morning twilight and on an unfamiliar road to proceed at much more than walking pace. The strain of trying to stare through both the windscreen and a film of water completely unaffected by the wipers seemed to increase his nicotine craving by the second. In fact, by the time he reached the end of a small village a band of steel seemed to be tightening around his chest and a throbbing headache was beginning behind his eyes.
Not surprisingly, the natives were staying indoors on a morning like this. Even the early morning dog-walkers were absent although they would not have been visible in the fog-like spray rising from the roads and pavements. Scanning left and right as the van crawled down the main street Fingers at last caught side of the brightly-lit word "Supermarket". After it the buildings of the village ceased completely and it was obvious that this was the only shop it possessed. It was, unfortunately, also apparent that the village newspapers came from elsewhere as, apart from the sign, no light was showing! With his head buzzing from enforced nicotine withdrawal he pulled up outside the shop with two wheels on the pavement.
To anyone passing by and able to see through the streams running down the windows it would have been obvious that a great internal conflict was taking place in Fingers' head. On one side were all of his good intentions. On the other was his need for a cigarette. 'Need' was an inadequate term for it! It was a desperate aching longing, a feeling that he could happily kill for a cigarette!
Gradually he reasoned out that with his old skills he could get into the shop without too much trouble. He could leave some money for his purchase and it would not then be stealing. No-one would see him enter or leave in this weather and it would all be perfectly safe. The thought that relief for his problem was near at hand calmed him down considerably and he began to prepare. He first tucked some essential bits of the van tool kit into his pockets and then awkwardly pulled on his heavy PVC coat and thermal gloves.
Leaving the engine ticking over he flung open the door and rushed to the cover of the little striped canopy over the shop doorway. Up close it was clear that while glorying in the title 'Supermarket' this was really little more than a traditional village store. It did not even have an alarm system!
It was the work of a moment to break the lock on the door with a heavy screwdriver. Nobody saw the dripping figure slip through and head for the cigarette counter at the back of the shop. A metal cage was locked over the actual display but several boxes had been left on the floor, presumably ready for restocking the shelves later. Fingers was about to open one of these to take a single packet when the plan went wrong.
Above the shop the owner had been awoken by a throbbing sound (the van's diesel engine). He had been unable to see the cause through his condensation clouded windows and was coming down to investigate. Hearing the heavy tread on the stairs, Fingers panicked! He grabbed up the box he had been opening and stumbled his way back out through the broken door. His dash across the pavement took him to the back door of the van. Seeing no signs of pursuit he quickly opened the back door and threw the box in with his fishing tackle. He was looking anxiously over his shoulder at the shop as he closed the door and did not notice that his action had disturbed the bags of fish piled there. He particularly missed noticing one of the slippery, wet bags slithering through the bottom of the closing door into the gutter!
The shopkeeper was still not in sight and was presumably nervous about coming out to confront an armed gang. Fingers was, consequently, able to get to the driver's seat and accelerate away into the gloomy countryside.
The continuing downpour and poor visibility had resulted in an unopposed getaway. Indeed, nobody afterwards was able to give any useful information about the vehicle – except that it was diesel-engined, which did not help much! Of course, Fingers did not know this and it was only after several nervous miles that he felt safe enough to stop and have the cigarette that was the cause of the trouble. For the record, it was not his usual brand and he did not enjoy it.
Fingers returned home without further incident. After unloading his tackle at his lock-up garage he deposited the black bags of fish in his freezer. Then it was on to his friend's house to return the van and hand over the "rental" payment of white bags. At this time he was vaguely aware that there seemed more white bags than there had been black. Before he could think about this, however, his friend offered him a coffee liberally laced with whisky and this took his mind off it completely. The two of them, in fact, continued sampling various spirits for the remainder of the day and a good part of the evening! Eventually Fingers returned to his humble flat feeling thoroughly warm and comfortable and with the events of the early morning almost forgotten.
Late on Monday morning he awoke with a very nasty taste in his mouth! His head throbbed and he was pleased that this was not a market day. After dressing and taking a couple of painkillers he was about to leave for a 'hair of the dog' at the local pub. He opened the door and was unpleasantly surprised to find, hand raised in the act of knocking, a large uniformed Police Sergeant. They stared at each other for a few seconds, both rather startled! The Sergeant was first to recover and broke into abroad smile.
"Mornin' Fingers", he said, "I don't know if you remember me. I had the pleasure of arresting you about fifteen years back when you were just starting to do grown up jobs".
Fingers, who stood on the doorstep with his mouth open throughout this statement, began to recover. The paralysing fear that had washed over him at the first sight of the uniform was now fading and he began to think more clearly. Surely, he thought, they would not have sent this old fossil to bring him in over yesterday's little job. He did, after all, have professional pride! Villains of his status were normally arrested by C.I.D. Inspectors in suits! No, he reasoned, this must be something else entirely. As he was innocent of anything else it would do no harm to be friendly and co-operate.
"Of course I remember you Sergeant" he replied after the barest hesitation, "I would've thought you'd have been retired by now though". The Sergeant, whose beaming smile was beginning to get on Fingers', nerves a bit, nodded wisely.
"I very nearly have retired my boy. They keep me on for little tasks like persuading good citizens such as you to pop down to the station to help us with our enquiries. Would you have any objection to that?" Fingers smiled back at this rosy cheeked parody of an old time-copper. He made a 'lead on' gesture towards the police car parked a few yards down the road.
At the Police Station, fingers was shown into an interview room and waited patiently for someone to condescend to interview him. He was quite surprised and further reassured when the smiling Sergeant entered the room and sat down across the table from him. He was not quite so reassured when the Sergeant leaned over and inserted two cassettes into the official recording device on the table and switched it on! He was even less reassured when, still smiling, his adversary began to read him his statutory rights!
"All right" he said, beginning to lose his cool a bit, "what the hell is all this about? I'm here voluntarily so tell me what you think you're doing! Trying to relive all of your past triumphs or something are you?" This was not a sensible thing to say in normal circumstances. However, the smile never wavered and maybe even broadened a bit.
"You know exactly what you're here for Fingers – that silly little job down in the marshes yesterday". Fingers opened his mouth to protest but the Sergeant raised his hand slightly from the tabletop and he closed it again. Somehow Fingers knew that whatever he said now would not make the slightest difference but he had to say something. He began a rather rambling little speech about being elsewhere when whatever it was that had been done was being done………and so on.
"Fingers, Fingers", said the Sergeant as though speaking to a petulant child, "all straight out of the Old Lags handbook but I really wouldn't bother. We knew that it was probably you five minutes after the details were put into the computer. After the ridiculous mistake you made to give yourself away the C.I.D. couldn't even be bothered to turn out to arrest you. Why do you think you got me?"
Strangely, given the danger he was in, Fingers was only aware of feeling very hurt and insulted. This man was casting aspersions at his professional reputation after all! Because of this he stopped protesting and snapped at the Sergeant "Mistake! What mistake! Tell me what you mean! I didn't make a mistake, ridiculous or otherwise……" His tirade ran down to a stop, not because of any interruption but because he realised the effect his words were having on his audience.
The Sergeant had not stopped smiling but was now having some difficulty containing emotions that seemed to be threatening to cause him actual physical pain. He wrapped his arms around his stomach and seemed to be shuddering violently. Every bit of skin showing around the tight fitting uniform seemed to have turned scarlet so that fingers wondered briefly if he should call for help. Before he could do so, however, the Sergeant gave up the struggle! A great roar of laughter burst from him, so loud that the sound-proofed room could not contain it. Officers in the corridor outside popped their heads around the door to see what was happening. What they saw was their colleague sobbing with laughter over some unknown joke and an indignant petty criminal trying to find out what was so damned funny!
It took about ten minutes and several glasses of water before the Sergeant could go on with the interview. His first action was to apologise for the outburst to Fingers who was seething with suppressed anger.
"The amazing thing about this job of yours" he explained, "is how close you came to getting away with it. We had no descriptions. We had no witnesses. In fact, until you confessed for the tape a few minutes ago we had only one piece of circumstantial evidence against you. What a piece of evidence that is though! You may not even go back inside for the job but it'll make you a laughing stock amongst your fellow villains and you'll never be taken seriously as a safe cracker again. That suits us of course".
Fingers listened uncomprehendingly. He had gone over the events of the previous morning in his mind time and time again. Try as he might he could not think of ANY mistake he had made, especially one as damning as this appeared to be. He gave up!
"All right. I freely admit that I did the stupid job! Now tell me what all this 'mistake' business is about".
The Sergeant took pity on him. "OK son, let me give you a little clue. It concerns a bag of fish". Fingers mind flashed back to his misgivings when he had unloaded his catch. This was beginning to make sense. He must have dropped a bag outside the shop. Something was still puzzling him however………..
"Thank you Sergeant. I'm getting the idea now but why are you finding it so incredibly funny? Please tell me that and I'll be able to sleep tonight!"
The Sergeant seemed to be suppressing his laughter with more success this time. Nevertheless he had to speak between great shakes of his shoulders as he gave his final speech.
"My dear boy just put yourself in my place. I'm at the end of a career that began when Policemen actually behaved the way you see them in old films. Saluting the public and calling them Sir or Madam. Your side, the bad guys, never (until now anyway) have lived up to your literary likenesses. I have never, for example, seen anyone in your profession wearing a mask or carrying a bag with 'swag' written on it. You, however, have sent me to my retirement a completely happy man. At long last, I can now say that I've met a criminal who came to grief through that classic literary cliché……….…………………………………………………
You left your Dabs at the scene of the crime!!!!!!!!!!

Rugelach is a cookie that took me by surprise a few years ago. It was December 2005, and I was working as a manager at a busy bakery in St. Helena, CA. The pastry chef started baking a ton of new cookies for the holiday, and one in particular caught my attention. It was flaky, cut into a jelly roll shape and had dried apricots; it was rugelach. The cookie looked beautiful, so I asked about it; only to be disappointed to hear it contained walnuts. I have never enjoyed nuts in my baked goods, so I wrote them off until one day when I smelled them right out of the oven. The smell was intoxicating and I decided to give them a go. Well, wouldn't you know it; I liked walnuts in this cookie. It was by far the best cookie she made that holiday season.
I've been lucky enough to eat Dorie's rugelach cookies before. My friend Sharon made them when the original concept of my blog was to have my friends bake from a specific cookbook, and then we would all get together, sample the goodies; and I would blog about it later. It was a great idea except for the fact that all my California friends moved out of state; including myself! When Sharon made these cookies we loved them though, so I was excited to try this recipe out myself.
I spent most of today running errands and waiting in line to vote. An hour and a half after getting in line to vote; I was relieved to put my ballot into the machine and walk out with a feeling of hope, and a fun project in front of me. On the way home I stopped by Starbucks for my free voter coffee; big mistake! I am still over caffeinated 2 hours after drinking the coffee (or maybe it has something to do with all the sugar I consumed after making these J).
I doubled the recipe because we have a big family party to go to on Sunday.
After processing the doughs and letting them chill for a few hours; I started the process. I made four different types of rugelach. The first was Dorie's chocolate filling except I subbed cranberries for currants. The second batch was Dorie's filling sans walnuts. For the third batch, I decided to play around with Nutella. My cookie contained Nutella, hazelnuts and espresso sugar.
Lastly, I made a cookie that contained caramel pear butter, cardamom sugar and almonds. Here they are before going in the oven.
They were all fantastic, but if I had to choose I would say the Nutella, espresso sugar and hazelnut rugelach was my favorite. Many thanks to Piggy of Piggy's Cooking Journal for picking this recipe.

Years later, as an adult, I would relish the opportunity to work as a receptionist and then a customer service agent in a call center, envisioning myself as an equally sleek and serene part of a support system... until I actually DID said jobs and realized how taxing they can actually be! Ha! I hope I can ride out the rest of my work life without dealing directly with the public.
Nichols' continued stage work eventually gave way to an extended tour with Duke Ellington, in which she sang with his band. On the west coast, she landed several stage roles that demonstrated both her talent and her considerable looks and figure. She also appeared as a dancer in the 1959 filmization of Porgy and Bess, a movie that has long been all but held from viewing by the Gershwin estate.
Things were about to take a major turn, however. From about 1966 on, Nichols would find herself associated with an increasingly popular and longstanding pop culture juggernaut. True, things began slowly enough, but in time she would be part of the colossal sci-fi phenomenon Star Trek.
Jeffrey Hunter, a movie star who had begun to slip somewhat in cinematic popularity.
She had practically made up her mind to quit the show when a meeting with Martin Luther King Jr. changed her mind. He emphasized that it mattered tremendously that she was there, visible, whether she was given more to do or not. Her very presence was considered inspiring to others of her race. As a pre-teen Whoopi Goldberg allegedly said, "Mama! There's a black lady on TV and she ain't no maid!!"
Nichols shed all traces of politeness in her portrayal. Her hysterical dialogue when describing some of her stable of prostitutes is priceless. Exhibit A: "We call her Turnpike, 'cause you gotta pay to get on and pay to get off!" Exhibit B: "Her clients call her Colonel Sanders because she's finger lickin' good."
Instead, she turned her attention to constructive work in the field of space travel and information thanks to her association with outer space (regardless of the fact that she'd never left dry land!) She worked with NASA as a recruiter to encourage minorities and females to enlist in the agency. The famous Sally Ride was one of the many folks brought into the program through this effort and astronaut Mae Jemison (the first black female to travel in space) has credited Nichols' role of Uhura as an inspiration to her in pursuing her career.
Some of her fellow costars, though, were beginning to show their age. For the seventh film in the series Star Trek: Generations (1994), only Shatner, Doohan and Koenig were retained as the reins were handed over to the former stars of Star Trek: The Next Generation, a series which had debuted in 1987 and lasted until 1994, running more than twice as long as the original show.

Plein Air! Today I did it, went out with a couple of friends and did my first plein air painting. Got all my info down and laid in. It is an amazing day here. Sunny and warm. I still have to spend some time on it, it is 12x16 oil on canvas. It was fun!
Can't wait to get back out there. I will also post another pic when I get it finished up. There is a pic of my painting and one of my painting on my easel at the side of the dirt road looking back towards the summer houses. There are some cool old houses out here to paint, these ones like most are still boarded up and waiting for the return of summer.

The Supreme Court ruled upon the Kevin Nunn case recently when the judges decided prisoners should not retain the same rights concerning disclosure of the evidence as they had pre-trial. Once an individual is convicted they cannot simply request access to documents or forensic samples as they could, had such a request been submitted pre-trial.
This stance by the Supreme Court judges is puzzling me. What they are saying is the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) can be trusted to request any document or forensic sample to be re-tested and re-examined as they have what is known as 'Section 17 Powers,' (S.17) to request disclosure of everything should they choose to do so.
At one level this statement is 100% correct, but the Supreme Court judges are well aware of what the reality is. The CCRC will not deploy their powers under S.17 in 99% of the applications made to them for further investigations. They have so many requests for help in re-investigation of possible miscarriages of justice that a case workers sifting process can take many years to be completed and the person in jail and contesting their conviction has almost no opportunity to search for 'fresh evidence' capable of casting real doubt about the safety of their conviction.
The CCRC require the applicant to submit compelling fresh evidence before deploying their S.17powers, the classic circular argument 'I can only submit fresh evidence if I can obtain new material from the police/CPS that has not been disclosed to me previously.' The police and CPS won't accept my requests for fresh material to be made available to me unless I present a compelling argument to the CCRC first.
Innocent people will have no insight into the circumstances surrounding the crime they are convicted of. Therefore, they won't have any idea about what areas of the evidence it was that police used against them which should be open to questioning its validity. An innocent person will know nothing more than the fact they didn't do it.
In my own case I've had to suggest specific reasons why the silencer evidence was wrong. I also had to set out how I believe the silencer evidence was falsified using snippets of information gleaned from random documents. As more and more material evidence was disclosed to me during the last 28 years (particularly since the 2002 appeal) my arguments got closer and closer to the truth. Multiple police enquiries and 16 years with the CCRC as well as two appeal hearings and a trial, along with tens of thousands of hours hard work reviewing three and a half million pages of case documents and it is only now we know what Essex police concealed about the silencer.
Since 2002 we have had to fight tooth and nail to obtain two pieces of information from police to be disclosed under S.17 by the CCRC and even now the CCRC are unable to locate original documents using their powers under S.17 because they have been 'mislaid' by Essex police.
Discovering what the actual truth was has taught me a very valuable lesson. Most of all I have never doubted that justice would prevail no matter what: you never know what's around the next corner. I feel for Kevin Nunn and all of his supporter's but the truth will find a way to reveal itself large and so long as you stay strong on your path when a corner comes along the trick is to ensure that you look around every one because around that next bend may be the answer you've been looking for.
Do I think disclosure should be automatic on request? No, I don't, but the hurdle that needs to be jumped should be set very low. In my case it shouldn't have been necessary for me to wait almost 30 years for the true facts to be discovered by piecing together documents—that seems a long time.
"Wrong doing can only be avoided if those who are not wronged feel the same indignation at it as those who are." Solon, (c. 638 – 559 BCE)

There are loads of 'best app' lists out there, especially for movies, but some of them seem to be filled up with apps for the latest iPhone 4 that just don't quite cut it. Most lists are pretty good, but in general they're missing a few essentials for actual movie lovers. Here are my top 5 movie apps:
Movie Genie
This Dialaphone list rates the iMDB app for iPhone and Android, and rightly so, but until it is fully integrated with the site, Movie Genie is the next best option. You can use Movie Genie to search for any movie person and access their full biography, photos, filmography and plots. You can mark movies with particular people in them as your favourites and store your browsing history.
Movies by Flixster
This is an app that was built for film lovers. To help you decide what films to watch you can watch trailers, read extensive reviews, get showing times in your area and even book tickets! As well as this you can also monitor box office results and search for information on actors or directors and search their back catalogue.
This popular app is great for last minute decisions to go to the cinema. You can check local times at nearby cinemas and not only that, but it will direct you with GPS to the nearest cinema that is showing your film of choice!
For movie lovers who love movie quotes, this is the perfect app to have in your pocket. Select a genre, decade or just freestyle and shake the iPhone to be given a random quote. Play the audio file to guess which film it is and what character – a great movie trivia app to play with your friends.
Run Pee
Now most movie lovers that I know will pee before a movie, but if you're running late or realise you shouldn't have had the extra large coke then Run Pee is an ingenious little app. It will tell you when a boring moment is coming up, giving you the opportunity to run to the bathroom without missing a huge plot point or action scene.

Bully Pulpit
The broader point is that rather than simply transferring the wanton violence and mayhem of the Grand Theft Auto series to a juvenile setting, Rockstar seems to have pulled out that game's most compelling elements -- an open world for the player to explore, tightly defined and memorable characters, a strong story line, high-end voice acting -- and rewrapped them in a game that the company clearly hopes will be rated T for Teen rather than M for Mature.
The game sanitizes many aspects of the modern prep school experience. There is no mission to sneak into a girl's dorm at night and have sex. There is no plan to hide drug use from the authorities. There is no quest to find a liquor store in town that will sell to you.
In short it's not really a boarding-school simulation, and that may be a good thing. Compared with real life, Rockstar has totally played down sex, drugs and alcohol. But as befits a game called Bully, it has certainly blown out of proportion the amount of real bullying that goes on these days.
In terms of the prevalence of actual physical intimidation, what Rockstar has done (perhaps unawares) is to take the reality of an all-boys school and shoehorn it into a coed environment. An all-boys school can really be like ''Lord of the Flies'' or a prison, combat brigade or any other all-male environment: brutal and physically hierarchical. But one of the miracles of coeducation is that as soon as girls are around, the boys often start treating one another in a more civilized fashion, even among themselves. As soon as there are girls on the campus, it's not cool to be a bully anymore.
Bully the game does not capture that. The fictional school is coed, but among themselves the boys act as if they haven't seen a girl in months.
In the end, though, that is what the public expects of its boarding-school vision. In the end it is irrelevant whether Bully is truly realistic, just as it is irrelevant whether ''The West Wing'' is a truly realistic depiction of the White House or if James Bond is a realistic secret agent. What matters is whether the material up for sale fits into the public's idealized image of the subject in question. Bully certainly does that.This year, Rockstar has also produced another NYT well-reviewed game about Table Tennis, and has even seen Grand Theft Auto's graphic sensibility incorporated into a recent Coca Cola ad, despite having been denounced by Congress at one time. However, there are still foes of Rockstar's products.
Debate has been renewed about whether or not Bully should receive the adults-only M rating, despite having content comparable to many teen movies about physical and emotional intimidation in educational environments. The Bully website now shows two trailers; the latter makes it clear that this is a game that glorifies heroes not antiheroes.
One of the spokespersons leading the charge is Jane Hitchcock of WHOA (Working to Halt Online Abuse). WHOA has a very mixed digital rights agenda: it champions the use of encryption software like PGP by private citizens to protect their privacy, which is strongly opposed by many government agencies and corporate entities, but there obviously isn't enough advocacy for the importance of free speech. Furthermore, their position on Bully seems to be downright censorship, given that their criticism concerns acceptable subject matter not the representational choices that might convey certain anti-social messages. Hitchcock even admitted in an interview that her actual knowledge of the game itself was limited to the trailers.
Particularly odd, is the organization's marketing of their figurehead's PowerPoint presentations, which are available for sale and can be customized for your own local anti-cyber-harrassment event with the addition of different wording. PowerPoint mash-up anyone?

Most artists and artisans spend many hours working alone. We draw creative energy from within ourselves. Affirmation comes from our patrons when our work is admired and purchased. As more and more commerce transpires over the Internet, there is less interaction between artist and patron, less provision for artistic encouragement. In the early days of my career, the fiber artists in my region were secretive about their methods, even about where supplies could be purchased. Again, the Internet for research, marketing, and social media has changed those circumstances, and whole online communities of artists now support, inspire, and encourage one another.
It was indeed a privilege to spend a few days apart from the routine of creating to be in the presence of others who create. From an online tie dyeing community, 32 people from 8 states gathered in Tennessee at Natchez Trace State Park in mid-October. David Childers at Custom Colours, Inc donated enough color swatch booklets for each artist to take one home. Mr. Childers also graciously facilitated donations of 50 lbs. of sodium carbonate from Surrey Freight and 49 lbs of dye from Standard Dyes in High Point NC. Prism Magic Clothing and Imports in Reno, NV donated more blanks than I could count. Seasoned dyers brought equipment to share, and willingly demonstrated techniques. Everyone generously pitched in consumable supplies.
Campers brought all kinds of items to tie dye, sheets, pants, tapestries, skirts, socks, and, of course, shirts. Bandannas and caps were tie dyed for Grateful Heads, an organization supplying headcoverings for cancer patients coping with hair loss. We did not have enough time to do all the activities we had planned, but we did learn and share a wealth of information. It was an enriching experience for all involved. We were surrounded by tapestries made by some of the Masters in our midst.
So how do 30+ folks create dyeing art in the woods with no laundry facilities? Volunteers brought tubs and buckets and garden hoses. A portable, 20-gallon laundry sink outfitted with a wringer allowed us to presoak many items simultaneously. After two passes through the wringer, it was on to the clothesline to await tie up.
Artificial sinew, rubber bands, plastic twine, cotton twine, dental floss, plastic ties, hemostats, and who knows what else were used to bind the material after it was manipulated into patterns, scenes and designs.
Dye solution was mixed using spring water in one gallon buckets, using a submersible blender. From a selection of 25 colors provided by Standard Dyes, we sampled about 11 colors, using around 25 gallons of liquid dye. Since we had substantial leftovers, Participants were free to take unused dye powder home, and most did gather samples for later use. Sacks of sodium carbonate were great door prizes, too.
Dye was applied using syringes, squeeze bottles, injectors, droppers, pipettes, sponges, brushes, and sprayed on.
On Saturday afternoon, our lesson in arashi shibori was fun and informative.
Several folks tried the pole wrapping technique.
Beautiful results!
Sunday morning a demonstration of dye removal, discharging, was received with enthusiasm. SoftScrub cleanser was used to discharge the color from black garments.
Several garments were ice dyed with spectacular results. Dry dye powder is sprinkled on a ice-topped, tied item. Or dry dye powder is sprinkled on a pre-soaked tied item, then ice is piled on top of the dye. As the ice melts, the dye is slowly distributed through the folds of the material, creating a unique, water colored appearance. A future guest blogger will describe this process and its variables in great detail. Stay tuned! Pictured is a denim jacket iced dyed using several shades of red dye.
Stars were popular designs among the campers.
A sample of techniques, from spirals to pleats, and beyond.
Wash out was a big challenge without the use of laundry facilities. Using a garden hose and sprayer for rinsing, and that handy sink and wringer, a washing method was established that was clumsy and labor intensive. We used about 200 feet of clothes line strung between the trees as a dryer. There were many joyous moments at the hose.
Three days in the company of kindred spirits in the beautiful woods was a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Friendships were forged, inspiring art was created, and a blending of artistic expression celebrated. Let's do it again!

One of London's most famous landmarks, Big Ben will eventually fall down in several thousand years, it was revealed today.
According to a report, the tower leans 0.26 degrees to the north west, putting it out of alignment by half a metre at the highest point. Although no one is quite sure why this is happening, one theory suggests the London clay that the structure was built on is drying out.
Keeper of the clock, Mike McCann, says: "We've been monitoring the situation since 1999, so we've got some pretty good data.
"Our resident expert believes that it will be between 4,000 and 10,000 years before it becomes a problem."

The word nephesh occurs 754 times in the Hebrew Bible. The first four times nephesh is used in the Bible, it is used exclusively to describe animals: Gen 1:20 (sea life), Gen 1:21 (great sea life), Gen 1:24 (land creatures), Gen 1:30 (birds and land creatures). At Gen 2:7 nephesh is used as description of man.
Job 12:7-10 offers a distinct similarity between רוח (ruah) and נפׁש (nephesh): "In His hand is the life (nephesh) of every living thing and the spirit (ruah) of every human being." (Wikipedia)
Let's test my theory against the scriptures.
[Judah speaking:] Now therefore when I come to thy eved Avi, and the na'ar [Benjamin] be not with us; seeing that his nefesh [Judah's soul] is bound up in the nefesh of the na'ar [Benjamin's soul]; Genesis 44:30 (OJB) [Our souls may become intertwined with kids, spouses and pets; but our neshamah remains separate and intact.]
My son, obey your father's command [Torah], and don't abandon
your mother's teaching [Torah]. For the mitzvah [loving/living the Torah, which
is Jesus] is a lamp, Torah is light, and reproofs that discipline are the way
to life. Proverbs 6:20, 23 (CJB)
Death: The nephesh that sinneth, it shall die Ezekiel 18:20 (OJB) Or ever the silver cord be loosed [our DNA seems to be like a silver cord. Does it loosen when we die?], or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the bor (cistern). Then shall the aphar [dust] return to ha'aretz [earth] as it was; and the ruach shall return unto HaElohim who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:6-7 (OJB)
My final opinions: Life is the Revelation of God to the world, whereby some of the primordial light is [veiled] under the throne of glory for a time and a season until it is time to completely shine forth. Jesus is the Torah, which is a light veiled from Christianity. Likewise, the Torah is Jesus, which is a light veiled from Judaism. He was fully God and fully man. Humans and animals are not God. All we know about life is what has been described in the Bible. Life for humans is Jesus! And, as for animals…

Some things about me....
I'm retired from being a school secretary for 21 years in Phoenix, AZ
I love kid's movies. My favorite is.......probably......The Goonies, but everytime How To Train Your Dragon is on, I watch it. (My hubby always makes fun of me for that)
My favorite character in a story I have written is Andy Thompson. Maybe because he was iin my very first story, Hike Up Devil's Mountain, but he and I will be tight buddies forever. Who knows, maybe there will be a sequel.
I never, ever read as a child so all those Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books were a pleasure I never had. I truly didn't start reading until I had my first child.
My two picture books (a dream come true for me) are published by Fox Tots Productions.
My story, Float Down the Canal, is about actual experiences when I was a kid. (If my mom would have known what we did, she would have gone ballistic!)
In all five of my Wickware Saga stories, I had to do tons of research. History and I were never friends in school. Who knew history had some great stories to tell! LOL

text: Cape Town - Promising young Proteas batsman Richard Levi has enlisted the help of a special bowling machine to prepare for New Zealand's bowlers in the upcoming T20 and one-day series.Die Burger reports that Levi, who has always been more comfortable against quick bowlers, prepared himself over the last few weeks with the help of one of Cricket South Africa's most expensive bowling machines, the Merlyn.Levi was at the end of last year included in South Africa's T20 group for the series against Australia but failed to get game time. He then played a big role to help his franchise, the Cape Cobras, win the 50-over 1-Day Cup competition.But the 24-year-old looks set to get his chance in New Zealand after Graeme Smith was dropped from South Africa's T20 squad.This machine, unlike traditional bowling machines, helps batsmen prepare to face spin bowlers.The Merlyn was used by English players for the first time in 2005 when they were desperate to counter Australian leg-spin legend Shane Warne.The machine has since been refined and now boasts the ability to mirror any spinner's trajectory and turn."I set the machine up to bowl like (experienced Kiwi spinner Daniel) Vettori and it definitely helped me get used to the flight and turn of the ball," said Levi.CSA has bought two of these machines for the High Performance Centre in Pretoria. It will be used by the national academy during the winter but is available for use by South Africa's franchise teams during the summer.Corrie van Zyl, CSA's manager of cricket, said the machines are very useful as it can imitate any spin bowler."It also mixes up the pace and flight of the balls. It's like a normal spinner and not all balls turn in the same way."The machine has a sensor which knows when a batsman uses his feet. It will then adapt the length of the delivery to try and fool the batsman.

Meet Rose Unruh
For Rose, there's no question as to what she loves most about Burns Lake. It's most certainly "the people!" Several years ago, she identified a need in the community for a "healthier alternative" to the conventional fast-food choices available. With 26 years of food-service already behind her, Rose decided to venture out on her own to create an establishment that catered to the specific needs of today's, 'people-on-the-go'. Whether it is an organic snack, a fair trade coffee, a gluten or dairy free meal, or simply something fresh and nourishing, there is always unique options for everyone!
Being able to share her passion and creativity through her "alternative" menu and seeing the delightful smiles of satisfied customers that stop by the shop to enjoy a latte or a delicious sandwich has made owning and operating her own business quite rewarding. When she is not busy enjoying the great outdoors or playing hockey at the local arena, Rose finds ample opportunities to support a variety of local organizations- namely, the Burns Lake Mountain Bike Club, the Burns Lake Vortex Women's Hockey team as well as the local Arts Council.
