This week on the Cumfiesta, we had on the gorgeous Bree Bubbles. This hot babe babe had it all: a gorgeous face, nice tan skin, sweet perky titties, a big juicy ass, and a hot pussy. After one of her friends attended the Fiesta, Bree had to find out more for herself. Bree got the address and headed over to see what it was all about. Jmac opened the door when she arrived and was blown away by Bree's sexiness. He asked her for the password, and Bree raised her top to expose her nice tan tits. Jmac took one look and knew he had to get in there.

This week on Cumfiesta, we had an up-and-coming sexy teen Latina by the name of Tessa Arias on. She was slim and super cute. When Jmac asked her for the password at the door, Tessa pulled out those sweet tan tits, and Jmac let her right in. We could tell she was a little freak because she wasted no time getting naked and showing off that amazing ass. After the pleasantries, Jmac stuck his tongue in Tessa's sweet teen pussy and asshole. She loved that and begged him to put his cock in her mouth.

This on Cumfiesta, we had on the beautiful Latina goddess Jazmine Caro. For those of you who don't know her, she is a gorgeous Latina with the most perfect natural tits you've ever seen. Her friend wouldn't stop talking about the amazing cock she received when she visited the Fiesta and highly recommended it to Jazmine. Jazmine decided to see for herself what it was all about. Upon being confronted at the door by Jmac, she showed her tits as the password and was given instant access.

This week on the Cumfiesta, we had a sexy, slim, blonde by the name of Tysen Rich on. She was really cute, and when she showed up at the door, Jmac asked her for the password. This 19-year-old wasted no time pulling out her hot tits and flashing them to gain entrance. This party girl was from California and was eager to get on Jmac's cock. She shoved that cock into her mouth and started sucking away on it. That got Jmac rock hard, and he went at that pussy like a beast. He gave Tysen the pounding of her life. It was a thing of wonder to watch him pound that pussy non-stop. He went at it form just about every imaginable angle. And that small frame of Tysen's got worked. She loved that huge sausage and took it like a champ. When Jmac had enough, he pulled out and busted a huge load of jizz all over her pretty face. You don't want to miss one minute of this hot little blonde showing off her best stuff for the Cumfiesta.
When it comes to the Cum Fiesta, the more the merrier. This week, we knew that Molly Bliss was coming out. But when she showed up to the door with her friend, Dillion Carter, we knew it was going to be a great episode. Upon meeting Brick at the door, the girls flashed their titties as the password. Molly, the shorter of the two, was petite and had some nice perky tits. The taller babe, Dillion, had some incredible big natural tits that got our mouths watering. These girls were as freaky as they come. They started making out right there at the door with their tits exposed. Once inside, the lesbian action just kept going. The girls sucked on each others titties to get each other hot.
Then they sucked each others hot pussies. Once they were dripping wet, Brick came out and gave them something else to suck on. The girls took turns sucking his cock, and then they both went at it at the same time. After that, the Cum Fiesta became and all-out threesome. The girls each got their pussies pounded by Brick. First he pounded Dillion's tight snatch, as her big titties bounced up and down. And then he stroked Molly's pussy until she was orgasming too. When Brick had gotten his fair share, he pulled out as the girls waited with their tongues out, and he blasted a load of cum all over both of their faces.
This week on the Cumfiesta, we had the gorgeous Cuban teen Abbi Roads on. When this sexy teen knocked the door, Tony was really taken back by how hot she was. He asked for the password, and Abbi pulled down her top to reveal those hot teen tits. She had no problem getting in. Once inside, Abbi did a little modeling for Tony. She had on these white shorts that showed off her ass nicely. When her shorts came off, and we got a look at that bare ass, our jaws nearly dropped. Abbi's ass was perfect. It made you want to bury your face in those sweet cheeks. And the best part of all, Abbi was a super freaky chick.
She started off by playing with her own pussy to get herself horny. Then she attacked Tony's cock and sucked on it like it was the last dick on Earth. This girl had a mouth on her that was a vacuum. Tony had to stop her to move onto that pussy because it was just too good. Abbi of course got on top and worked those hips magically, as she rode that cock. Tony got inspired and took over. He pounded that pussy hard and deep and made Abbi orgasm. When it was his turn, he pulled out and busted his load of cum all over Abbi's pretty face.
This week on Cumfiesta, we had an Asian firecracker by the name of Cindy Starfall who came on to show off her stuff for us. She was a wild little chick that was fine as hell and naughty by nature. Bruno asked her for the password at the door, and Cindy pulled out her two perfect, tan, Asian tits. They were lovely and only a telling of what was to come. Cindy entered and this gorgeous Vietnamese beauty started to show of her amazing long legs and that plump round booty, as she stripped down. When she pulled out Bruno's cock, Cindy was blown away by the size of it.
She was a petite little thing, and it barely fir in her mouth, but she sucked on it like it was candy. After Bruno had his share of those sweet Asian lips around his cock, he went for a different pair of lips and entered her hot, wet pussy. Cindy loved the stroking and couldn't get enough. Bruno banged that pussy deep and hard form various positions and made Cindy orgasm like crazy. When he'd had enough of that sweet Asian pussy, he pulled out and busted his load all over her face. Cindy just laid back and blew cum bubbles for fun. It was insane.

Economic Data
As a general rule, individual investments rise and fall with the tide. This means that even a fundamentally strong company that is somewhat undervalued may lose value during economic recessions and fundamentally weaker companies that are slightly overvalued may rally during bull markets. Because of this, it is prudent to consider the overall economic environment while making investment decisions.
We know that individual investors typically come out on the wrong end of market timing. However, economic indicators may provide a gauge to the strength of the current market conditions. It is never wise to jump into and out of investments strictly due to weak or strong economic indicators. However, if you have new money to invest, economic research can point you toward investments that may be more appropriate for the economic climate.
In this issue of On the Internet, the focus is on websites that provide economic data. The data offered on these websites can help you ascertain the strength of the economy and provide insight into which sectors and companies may be strong performers in the coming market cycle.
U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis
The U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis is the top source for domestic economic data. The government website provides comprehensive national, international, regional, industry and integrated accounts economic data.
National data is separated into several sections—gross domestic product, personal income and outlays, corporate profits, and government current receipts and expenditures, just to name a few. The most recent news releases for gross domestic product, personal income and outlays and corporate profits are provided. The gross domestic product news release provides detailed data on the expansion or contraction of various areas of the economy and can provide investors with information not only on the health of the overall economy but also on the strengths and weaknesses of economic elements, such as personal consumption and government expenditures. The personal income and outlays news releases detail trends in income, savings and spending, another important metric on the health of the economy. Needless to say, the overall movement in corporate profits should also be closely scrutinized.
The regional data provided includes gross domestic product by state and metropolitan area, state personal income and local area personal income. It can be of use when investing in companies with a strong footprint in certain areas of the country. GDP growth rates are also available by industry. Gross domestic product data by industry can be found in the Industry tab.
Finally, the Interactive Data tab shows data in line and bar chart format.
International Monetary Fund Data and Statistics
A great complement to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the International Monetary Fund IMF Data and Statistics is a top website for international economic data. Data is split into three sections—Global Data, IMF Financial Data and Exchange Rate Data. The links are provided directly on the home page.
Every other year, the International Monetary Fund releases the World Economic Outlook database, which contains selected macroeconomic data presenting the IMF's analysis and projections of economic developments at the global level. The data is presented by major country groups and at the individual country level. Each year's report—going back to 1999—is provided free of charge. The website also provides detailed economic indicators such as interest rates, reserves and growth of prices and production for each country.
The International Monetary Fund also releases the Global Financial Stability Report twice a year. The report assesses the global financial system and markets, and discusses emerging market financing in a global context. It focuses on current market conditions, highlighting systemic issues that could pose a risk to financial stability and sustained market access by emerging market borrowers. The report shows the financial ramifications of the economic imbalances highlighted by the World Economic Outlook.
Two other major publications are available on the IMF website—Regional Economic Outlook and Fiscal Monitor. The Regional Economic Outlook summarizes recent economic developments for countries in various regions and discusses economic policy developments that have affected economic performance, as well as challenges faced by policymakers. The Fiscal Monitor, also prepared twice a year, offers fiscal projections for individual countries, assuming that announced policies will be implemented.
The IMF website provides a bevy of other information on the country level, as well as international news and videos.
U.S. Department of Commerce Economic & Statistics Administration
The Economic & Statistics Administration is responsible for disseminating national economic indicators and overseeing the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
The 12 monthly and quarterly principal federal economic indicators presented on the Web page are: advance monthly retail sales; advance report on durable goods; construction spending; current account balance; gross domestic product; manufacturers' shipments, inventories and orders; manufacturing and trade inventories and sales; new home sales; new residential construction; personal income and spending; U.S. trade balance; and wholesale trade reports. You can enter your email to receive updates for these indicators from the Department of Commerce. Furthermore, an Economic Release Calendar outlines the major releases of economic indicators throughout the year.
Yahoo! Finance Economic Calendar
Yahoo! Finance's Market Overview section offers an economic calendar presenting previous and upcoming economic releases, as well as links to about half of the releases. The links offer a short description of the economic indicator, as well as its importance, source, release time and raw data. The calendar also presents a forecast from Briefing.com and from the market.

The T-Bone parts are a good invest in my eyes.
I had some crashes over the time in the skatepark or during some speedruns and nothing happens.
I read in this post that the Rod Ends (7059) will fit on the GPM Push Rods?
Im interrested in buying them, because of the less slop.
The GPM Rod Ends arent that stable i know,but in my eyes they are a good predetermined breaking point for a cheap price.
50 cent for breaking them instead of destroying something else?!
__________________________________________________ _____________________________
I ordered my T-bone set on the 1st and finally heard from them today. My order is now on back-ordered because their order has been delayed for the spacers needed to complete my kit. No eta was given.
I assembled my center diff in the tranny today. It was awfully sticky so I hope it doesn't hurt anything. My center diff also came empty like many others have reported.
My diffs/bulkheads have been giving me fits. Both of them have a rough place that I can't see or fix. The more I work with it the shinier the pinion gets. I think I'm just going to forget about the shims for the time being. When I try shimming I can't turn it past the rough spots.
here for the 2s lipo and here for the 3s lipo.
Over the weekend I dyed my chassis, stock rocker arms, LT rocker arms, antenna tube, stock toe links and push rods black. I also tried dying my springs and stock rocker bushings but that didn't go so well. I only used 1 box of dye and a large roasting pan. If I had it to do over I would use 1 1/2 boxes or 2 boxes of dye.
This picture includes the stock black battery doors for comparison.
I assembled my silver GH knuckles with my black RPM arms. A couple of the knuckles had rough spots where the threads were bored into where the pivot ball seats. I put the pivot balls in and wiggled them around until if felt fairly smooth. I read about putting plumbers tape on the delrin pivot caps so I did that to keep the caps from backing out.
I also reassembled my shock in their new HR shock bodies. 50togo recommends using 3 seals and a spacer so I created an assembly picture. Please feel free to share the pic with others.

Parts installed: GH knuckles. RPM arms front and rear. HR shocks with silver blue stripe springs and 70wt fluid. Long travel rockers. New bearings and bearings installed in the rockers and servo saver. Center diff w/100k fluid. Front and rear diffs w/60k fluid. TheToyz aluminum chassis braces front and rear.
Here is a comparison shot of the Ofna wing OFN40906 versus the stock wing.
How to mount. http://traxxas.com/forums/showthread...=1#post5396508
The T-bone set also arrived this week. I'm still waiting on my ESC and lipos. In the meantime I'll install the servo, T-bone set, shim the axles, check the toe and camber and make an 1/8" aluminum ESC mount.
Nice job, it looks like mine
It is nothing wrong with blue if we talk about anodized alu, but blue plastic - no thanks
that wing is huge!
i am not genius at aerodynamics, but i am assuming that it will provide a lot of down force for the rear? wouldn't that just add more wheelies?
Just an FYI. The stock 380 brushed motor screws are 2.5x6 (I believe they are called flat head screws) according to the .pdf. They do not work with the Velineon 380 motor which needs 3x6 cap head screws. I just had to order 10 from ebay for $3.50. If you want Traxxas brand the part number is 2554 for 6 screws.
My ESC and lipos showed up this weekend. The electronics seem to work fine on the bench and the lipos were well balanced (unlike me) .
I'll leave you with a pic of my front end.
your spring and shock body combo looks very nice; a couple questions for you..
1. what did you use to strip the paint off of the springs?
2. is there a comprehensive spring rate guide?? I'm talking about the color guide with part numbers and spring rates?? I found getting this information was less than easy at times.
Good, Fast, Cheap; You can only have two
Traxxas makes at least two versions of springs in the silver color. I believe they are Summit springs. Notice the "A" in the part number.
Traxxas 7244A Shock Spring Pink, (2.77Rate)
Traxxas 7245A Shock Spring Blue, (2.925Rate)
They are stiffer than the stock springs. Here is a list of the various springs and their rates. http://traxxas.com/forums/showthread...=1#post5395788
Edit: Here are the springs from buy.traxxas.com
Merv springs: http://buy.traxxas.com/default.php?c...57_15759_15903

so i know you can buy the silver springs in the blue and pink, but not the purple. so will acetone strip the paint off the purple?? i would assume it would, then i would just need a clear coat then so they don't rust.... right?? or would i be better off just painting them silver with an enamel paint??
Good, Fast, Cheap; You can only have two
Hopefully these links will help answer your stripping questions. Some of the methods use harsh chemicals so protect your eyes and skin.

is raising money toward launching the strapless heart rate monitor, Alpha, through Kickstarter.com.
Mio, a company that has been in the heart rate monitor business for 13 years, is on the brink of releasing a device that may change the way people think about tracking heart rate. The Mio Alpha promises to monitor heart rate without the use of a chest strap. How does it work? Basically, the inside of the watch has light beams that sense your heart rate.
Another unique aspect of Mio's Alpha is the way in which the final phase of development is being funded. Mio turned to Kickstarter.com, a platform that allows everyday people to invest in creative projects, to raise $100,000 toward releasing Alpha to the public. They've already surpassed that goal and think they could reach the $500,000 mark by their deadline of Aug. 9.
We caught up with Mio CEO Liz Dickinson to find out more about the technology behind Alpha, ask about the decision to go to Kickstarter.com and learn when the product will be available to the public.
Competitor.com: How did you get involved in the heart rate monitor business?
Liz Dickinson: I have always been passionate about technology. Back in late 1999 I had been in high tech for about 20 years. After the birth of my third child I had even less time to exercise, so it was important that I optimize what little time I had. I did a lot of research and found that using a heart rate monitor can really help you make the most of your exercise. I decided to try one, but really hated using the chest strap. But, that was all that was available. It was unbelievable to me that people just accepted the strap, and I soon found that others shared my frustration. So right then and there I decided to invent a strapless heart rate watch. I have always been technical, and I had done a lot of business in Asia so I was able to find the contacts I needed to pull off a prototype. I took the Mio prototype to a trade show and I was blown away by the enthusiastic response I got. I decided to raise capital and really go for it full-time, and I did.
Competitor.com: Where did the idea for the Alpha heart rate monitor come from?
Dickinson: The best we could do at the time was a technology that required you to touch the watch to get a reading. This technology was fine for lifestyle users like walkers, hikers and people interested in exercise mostly for weight loss, but athletes never really embraced it. To really get traction in this market, you need to have a product that satisfies the athlete. So, as early as 2001 I started looking for technology that could take a continuous heart rate at performance speeds without finger sensors.
Competitor.com: How did you come up with the technology?
Dickinson: I spent many years looking at various technologies being developed in many different countries: ultra-wide-bandwidth radar, ultrasound, infrared optical and light sensors. So, I got a really good sense of what was possible and the obstacles to success. I kept looking at opportunities as they arose and evaluating the strength of the development teams I was speaking to and their likely capability to overcome the obstacles.
Competitor.com: How does the technology work?
Dickinson: Two light beams and an electro-optical cell "sense" the volume of blood under your skin. Because the blood volume pulsates in the rhythm of the heart, so does the signal from the electro-optical cell. This signal is processed by an advanced electronics circuit and passed on to a highly specialized computer program that is embedded in the Alpha. To date, the stumbling block with this type of technology has been that when you are walking or running, arm movements strongly interfere with the electro-optical signal. To solve this problem the Alpha has a separate motion detector. The computer program is able to use the information from this detector to compensate for the disturbance that is generated in the electro-optical signal by walking or running motions. As a result, the Alpha can display an accurate heart rate even during motion-intense activities.
Competitor.com: Why the decision to launch the product through Kickstarter?
Dickinson: My company had funded the development of Alpha to get it to the point of being a working prototype that we knew we could manufacture. I knew I needed to raise capital to complete the project. Traditionally my choice would have been to go the venture capitalist route, but recently many different people sent me a link to the Pebble watch project on Kickstarter.
They suggested that Alpha was so unique that perhaps Kickstarter might be worth trying as a vehicle to raise our funds. I looked into it more deeply and I agreed. The advantage of Kickstarter is that you don't have to give up equity in your company. Instead, the pledges that you collect, which are rewarded with Alphas, are really just pre-sales of the product. Those funds can be used in advance of having to deliver. It really is a great model. People can participate in making a product they really want come to life.

cleveland Police chief announces new chase policy
Associated Press
Cleveland's police department will limit when and how long squad cars can chase suspects in new guidelines released Thursday, more than a year after a chase involving more than 100 officers ended in the deaths of two people.
The revamped policy was in the works before the deadly 23-minute chase that is still being investigated, but what happened that night did influence the new guidelines, said Police Chief Calvin Williams.
One big change is that just two squad cars will be allowed in a chase unless a supervisor authorizes more cars to get involved.
The changes come as the department is still dealing with the fallout from the November 2012 chase that involved five dozen cruisers and wove through residential neighborhoods, onto Interstate 90, and eventually ended with gunfire in East Cleveland. Officers fired 137 shots.
Critics called the shooting a racially motivated execution. Both victims were black, and no weapon was found. The police union defended the officers' actions and said the driver was trying to ram them.
The police department is now under a wide-ranging federal investigation into the use of force that goes beyond the car chase. A county grand jury also is investigating the 13 officers who fired shots during the chase.
The police chief said the new policy makes it clear who is in charge when there is a chase. Officers still will be able to pursue someone suspected of a violent felony or drunken driving, Williams said.
Police union leader Jeff Follmer told WKYC-TV the new 16-page policy puts more pressure on officers and their supervisors.
"It's 16 pages, where we don't have but 16 seconds to make a decision out there, and that's the reality of police work," he said.
Police don't know why the driver in the November 2012 chase, Timothy Russell, refused to stop. Russell, 43, had a criminal record including convictions for receiving stolen property and robbery. His passenger, Malissa Williams, 30, had convictions for drug-related charges and attempted abduction.
Russell was shot 23 times and Williams was shot 24 times.

If this were possible, I would say this could qualify as 4:35 seconds of an Off The Air episode on video games. A million unlicensed clips, so it'd be terrible for broadcast…but the video still blew my brains apart. Lots of datamoshing, iconic video game imagery & aggressive wildlife all add up to a charmingly delusional video. The clip has my attention and, though I've never heard of High Contrast or Hospitality Records before, the clip serves as an internet friendly talking point. 'Spectrum Analyzer' is an ok track; definitely in line with 8/16 bit soundtracks of the visuals, but nothing that has changed my worldview.
I will say that the b-side, "Some Things Never Change" is a far better tune, but I have a soft spot for time tested, uncomplicated drum and bass. It all takes me back to high school and my mind wanders to a box with a number of 90's era cassettes featuring bedroom mixes by long ago friends.

In this, the 40th season of the Philadelphia Flyers and the 40th year since the Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup, there hasn't been much worth celebrating.
Unless you look beneath the surface a little.
The Flyers, with a history of going big or going home, are going small this season. They are the worst team in hockey. They have never been that before.
A year ago, when the Leafs were firing Pat Quinn and trying to explain how the playoffs were missed, the Flyers finished with 101 points. One season later, the Leafs are still on the verge of being a playoff team -- they haven't gotten much better, haven't gotten much worse -- the Flyers hid rock bottom.
And should the lottery cards work in their favour come June, they could wind up with a nifty prize from Buffalo of all places named Patrick Kane.
Assuming the Leafs don't move up or down -- which is entirely possible -- they may finish out of the playoffs, but not necessarily in a favourable draft position.
So if you had a choice between being where the Flyers are today and where the Leafs are today, everyone except John Ferguson and a few stubborn diehards would take the Flyers' position.
If you're going to be lousy in sports these days, it pays in the end to be really lousy. Being middle of the pack gets you Jiri Tlusty not Sidney Crosby. Being middle of the pack gives you hope when you really have none.
There is no false hope in Philadelphia these days. People know this team is terrible. People hope there is a star on the way.
The only thing the Leafs know is they have a general manager who will likely lose his job should the team miss the playoffs, a captain who won't declare whether he wants to play beyond this season or whether he would waive his no-trade clause, and an injured but feisty goal scorer who may be traded, may be signed long term, may end up being neither because the decision is being left in the hands of a general manager who is in limbo.
If you were running a company, and you were contemplating replacing a senior manager of any kind, would you allow him to make key decisions prior to his dismissal? Strangely, both the Leafs and the Flyers are in somewhat similar situations with their general managers.
Paul Holmgren is signed to the end off this season. He became the interim GM when Bobby Clarke stepped down and the Flyers were so thrilled to have him they removed the "interim" term from his label, but only for this season.
Like Ferguson, he sits with a fascinating asset that is coveted by many teams in a trade. But Peter Forsberg, like countryman Mats Sundin, has a no-trade clause in his contract and would have to waive that to be dealt.
With Forsberg alone on the market -- and there is still serious doubt he will even be available -- the Flyers would hope to get a first-round pick and a prospect of some kind in return for a beaten-up, injury prone 33-year-old.
Should Sundin be on the market at the same time, his value would be similar. If the Leafs see no hope in this team, and Sundin actually wants to pick up and move, then whatever the Flyers could get for Forsberg, the Leafs should be able to get for the more durable Sundin.
If only one of the two is available, then the price goes up. Demand, in this case, would exceed supply.
But should the Flyers make the deal, they would be adding a first-round pick to their own early pick and a roster that already has a 26-year-old sniper in Simon Gagne and kids with talent such as Jeff Carter, Mike Richards and Joni Pitkanen. The final three are all 23 years old or younger.
The most promising of the young Leafs -- Kyle Wellwood, Matt Stajan, Alex Steen and Ian White -- all represent parts of a hockey club, not a core.
In this 40th anniversary of a team and a championship, this hasn't been the best of seasons for longtime rivals. The Flyers will at least get a prize for their troubles. What do the Leafs get?

Where did Cimini come up with this? I checked the Press Conference thread and didn't see it in there. I can't review the whole video of it. Does anyone remember Rex or Woody even hinting such a thing? I know people have speculated about it, but that's not quite the same.
http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/stor...-new-beginningThey already have begun the search for a replacement. Norv Turner and Cam Cameron are on the short list. Ryan, often criticized for caring only about defense, admitted he hasn't done a good job of creating an offensive identity.

If the Jets hire Cameron, Ravens fans will laugh... Dolphins fans will laugh, again... the Jets offense will continue to be near the bottom... and we will have several Sundays next year shaking our heads in disgust and disbelief at the playcalling. This guy is the Baltimore version of Schitty....
He's decent, but I'd really like Gruden for OC.
Polian for GM.
Before anyone worries about cam cameron, you should ask yourself how there could even be a list and if there was how could it get leaked to cimini?
There is currently no FO and Rex would be the only person to have an idea on an OC and he certainly isnt going to tell a reporter.
This is 2013 journalism at its best....make up a list of the first names you see on espn as getting fired, tweet it, and then rip the organization for not getting their "orignal target"
Thats what gets page views and twitter followers.....factual reporting sadly doesnt
Do you get the feeling they're having problems getting people to come to the Jets?
It seems like they're trying to interview everyone who knows how to spell football.
I'd rather get Hue Jackson.
Cameron loves throwing down the field and attacking the def. Flacco I think had more attempts over 20yds than any other qb..
Well, norv is in clevland. Nobody wants to work for King Buffoon.
I would think that he would bring in Campbell as he did with the raiders.

Hailing from Troy, Mich., We Came As Romans features an interplay of clean singing and brutal screaming vocals over punchy guitar riffs, tight drumming and electronic sections. Vocalists Dave Stephens and Kyle Pavone and guitarist Joshua Moore spoke with Folio Weekly before their set on the opening day of Welcome to Rockville.
F.W.: Your latest album, "Tracing Back Roots," came out in July 2013, what do you think is different about this album, in relation to "To Plant a Seed" or "Dreams EP"?
D.S.: It's definitely more melodic. We went with a different producer this time. On our last two records, we used Joey Sturgis. This time around we went with John Feldman. Feldman is so focused on melodies and stuff like that, so it really shines through.
F.W.: Are you currently writing?
D.S.: We're brainstorming some ideas, but nothing too crazy right now. We're still on the album cycle for "Tracing Back Roots," so we're still focused on touring.
F.W.: When you do write, do you usually set aside some time to write or do you work on ideas on the road?
J.M.: It's kind of both. Usually we're on the road, and we're kind of crunched, you know? But we'll start pulling out ideas and stuff like that. Then we'll take those ideas and work on them in rehearsal. Hopefully, on the next record we'll be able to sit down and work things out together, like we did on the last one.
F.W. When touring, do you prefer to play big festival shows like Welcome to Rockville, or do you prefer the smaller, more intimate club shows?
K.P.: Both have their ups and downs. We like the smaller shows, because we get to see our fans close up. But we also like the bigger shows at the same time, because we like seeing all the energy, and it pulls in new fans too.
F.W.: Do you notice any difference between the shows you play here and your international tours?
D.S.: They like to circle pit a lot in Europe. They'll circle pit to anything. It could be a slow, like, waltz, and they'll do a circle pit.
F.W.: Do you have to call it out, or do they just start doing it?
D.S.: Yeah, you call it out. I could be talking for a long time, they could not understand a single word I say, and as soon as I say "circle pit," they know. Their ears perk up.
F.W.: What are your plans for the festival today? Any bands on the bill you're excited to see?
K.P.: I'm excited to see Avenged Sevenfold and Chevelle. We'll probably hang with our buddies in Memphis May Fire and have a few drinks and just enjoy the day.
D.S. Where we're from, it's not this nice yet, so we're enjoying it while we can. It's gonna be a hot one.
F.W.: Any artists you haven't toured with yet that you'd want to?
D.S.: Linkin Park. That'd be our dream tour, if they took us out. I think their fans would really like us.

A traffic stop at 5 a.m. Monday morning proved to be anything but routine for a Butler County Sheriff's deputy.
A traffic stop at 5 a.m. Monday morning proved to be anything but routine for a Butler County Sheriff's deputy.
According to reports, the deputy stopped a slow-moving vehicle on the south side of Highway 54 near Santa Fe Lake Road, approached the car and saw two males and one female inside. He collected their identification information and returned to his patrol car to run a warrant search.
The deputy found outstanding warrants and when he returned to the car to make an arrest one of the men, Jan Tracy Kilbourne, 41, fired a shot at the deputy, striking him in the right shoulder. The deputy returned fire and authorities believe the suspect was struck by the deputy's bullet or flying glass.
On an audio recording of the scanner, the deputy could be heard saying "I'm shot! I'm shot! I'm shot!"
The woman and the other man remained at the scene, but Kilbourne ran away.
The deputy was taken to a Wichita hospital and because he was wearing a bulletproof vest, he suffered only minor injuries. He was released from the hospital soon after, but his name has not been provided to the public.
Officers followed the blood trail, but it eventually went cold. Sheriff Kelly Herzet advised that Kilbourne was considered armed and dangerous. Residents were warned to stay inside their homes and report any suspicious activity.
Kilbourne was reported wearing blue jeans, a red t-shirt and bike boots. Anyone seeing someone matching the description is warned not to approach him, but to call 911 immediately.
The manhunt has moved into the second day with the search mainly in an area bordered by Highway 54 to the south, 120th Street to the north, Santa Fe Lake Road to the east, and Indianola Road to the west.
Kilbourne is no stranger to law enforcement. The Kansas Department of Corrections Web site lists Kilbourne convicted on drug charges in Seward County in 2001 and in Stevens County in 2002. He served in a number of state facilities before his sentence expired in 2009.
He was then later sought on suspicion of more charges in Seward County, including drug possession, criminal threat, criminal possession of a firearm and fleeing law enforcement. He was convicted and sentenced on the charges in August 2012.
Law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation include the Butler County Sheriff's Office, the Kansas Highway Patrol, the Andover and Augusta police departments, along with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

More info: visit williamcorey.com
DENVER -- More than five years after his death, Boulder photographer William Corey's wish to build a cultural bridge between the United States and Japan is coming true in a way he probably never imagined.
A dozen of Corey's large-format prints of Japanese gardens will officially open to the public inside Denver International Airport on Saturday. The exhibit is designed to celebrate the June 10 launch of United Airlines' long-awaited Denver-to-Tokyo route aboard Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, a debut that was delayed after the Federal Aviation Administration grounded the new lightweight carbon composite aircraft following onboard battery fires.
With the Dreamliner taking to the skies last week for the first time since January, workers on Thursday and Friday mounted Corey's photographs -- images of ancient Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines framed by resplendent autumn leaves and elegantly curved footbridges -- around the north security screening checkpoint and international arrivals door. They will remain there through the end of the year.
"This is our first direct flight to Asia so it's definitely a milestone for the airport," DIA spokeswoman Laura Coale said. "We now have a gateway to Asia."
The airport estimates that nearly 2 million people will pass through the north screening area from now until the end of the year.
"In a day, more people will see these than in any gallery," said Matt Chasansky, director of the Arts and Culture Program at DIA.
And, he said, there probably isn't a better place in which to hang photographs that capture an entirely different mood and tone from what is typically found in an airport.
"It gets to the psyche of what people need when they're standing in these TSA lines," he said, motioning to a seemingly endless line of Memorial Day weekend travelers at the security checkpoint Friday. "These are carefully constructed compositions. William was a technician in the way he was able to master the camera."
Erin Mulrooney, DIA's temporary exhibit curator and coordinator, said she had already been approached by a number of travelers and airport employees asking about Corey's works, which come in sizes 4 feet by 5 feet and 8 feet by 3 feet. She said the photos lend a certain calm to a space typically filled with nervous and irascible fliers.
"There's always a lot of crazy energy at DIA -- these offer a nice solace," Mulrooney said.
Corey, who succumbed to cancer at 58 in April 2008, fell in love with photographing Japanese gardens in the 1970s -- around the time he moved from New Jersey to Boulder. For 30 years, he used a bulky, accordion-style Korona Panoramic View camera -- built a century ago from brass, leather and wood and equipped with a Kodak 18-inch wide-field copy lens and 8-by-20-inch film -- to capture the quiet beauty of Japanese gardens, mostly in and around Kyoto.
Taking days to familiarize himself with every shadow and angle of a garden and using a single exposure that might last for 30 minutes or more, Corey used patience and a Zen-like focus to get his image. He became so adept at capturing the delicate interplay of color and light in the finely tended gardens that he was the only western photographer invited to photograph the gardens of the Japanese emperor.
His wife of 18 years, Reimi Adachi, who Corey met on a bus in Kyoto in 1990, said she contacted the Consulate-General of Japan in Denver after hearing about United's plans for a direct flight from DIA to Tokyo. That led to calls to the Denver mayor's office and the airport.
"I'm very honored to have this opportunity," said Adachi, who is lending the airport her husband's photographs. "This flight is very important to Colorado. I hope these photographs will energize people to be more curious about Japan."
She was asked how she imagines her late husband would feel were he here to see his beloved photographs on display in such a prominent venue and as part of such a binational event.
"He would be so happy because it's one step closer to realizing his dream of becoming a bridge between the United States and Japan," Adachi said.

Council reconvenes Monday
New protocol to begin with the new year
January 12, 2013
Those who attend the first City Council meeting of 2013 Monday at City Hall will find the format a little different from how it was in 2012. Actually, it will be more like the format from 200....
contd. Now he can receive mail late on Monday "no problem", read it vote on it. All this with one hand behind his back and hopping up and down on his left leg. Now Martin! I will say this the county will never be this city's savior. Because they have a rats nest over there too. $577 million paid into their 2020 land preservation scam. All that time Cape Coral paid in and not one piece of land purchased to be preserved here. Never noticed never mentioned until the so called ROAD AHEAD GANG like Sullivan and Leetz made it an issue. $48,000 paid out 10 years in a row to the Horizon Metropolitan Planning for a stinking vote the city never used. Mayor Sullivan found this out and held the check when he took office. $480,000 in ten years wasted! Could have built a heck of an animal control. If only the people had the confidence in the city or the county. Anyone need a helicopter or help from $3 million of over billing by the county. Too bad there are some good people caught in thi

How did everyone enjoy the water and sewer emergency. I will say the council stuck to its guns and said no. This time.
It took consultants again to tell us what we have known for well over a couple of years. Strengths and weaknesses. Yes Sir!
I did laugh at the thought of the example of the mechanic forgetting a bolt and having to walk a great distance. Thus taking more time to fix the vehicle. Did anyone think the bolt was left off? Probably a consultant should be called to bring in a tricycle, pedway or golf cart not in use at the Coral Oaks Golf course?
Anyone catch the high cost of water and sewer lines? Just under $4,600. It's just magic! Too bad those not in a gated community get to pay $17-$22 thousand not counting hookup. Ten years out of a firetruck? Yeah if you don't maintain it. Management that can't teach, can't lead, and can't get production out of their charges. Wonderful. Fourth time the meeting was not really prepped for. The guy who could not get mail

It will be interesting to see what is suppressed from the public in the name of "it needs immediate attention." Back to the ways of the 2009 council that left a city treasury nearly empty and was always a DAY late millions of dollars SHORTATE, and "I know how to do it BURTOLINI. Give the people a list in the media of the fleet of fire apparatus with date of manufactured, then check the state and national expected age of like equipment. Fleet maintenance as we discovered by former city manager Gary King had asst. director and management that could not even schedule work to be done. Bono the long time manager before he retired 4 yr ago must have kept the people under him uninformed and under trained and managed. Why did the chief Van Heldon before council establish a clipboard system to check equipment and make sure it had been repaired? Because the so called engineers did not do their job and the battalion chiefs did not manage which by definition is part of their job. N

James Pettigrew never had dreams of being a football player.
The soccer pitch is where Pettigrew literally grew up, and it's on that plush grass that the Front Range Christian senior figured to carve out his athletic career.
Then two years ago, a funny thing happened. A friend at school talked him into going out for the football team as a placekicker.

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) - Freshman Adonis Filer scored a career high 21 points on a perfect shooting performance and fueled a 27-4 first-half run that carried Clemson to its 15th straight victory over Citadel 92-51 on Tuesday.
Citadel (3-8) lost its seventh straight on the season. The Bulldogs, though, hung with their Atlantic Coast Conference opponents early on as Dylen Setzekorn's arching 3-pointer drew them within a basket, 18-16, with 10:01 left before halftime.
That's when Filer and the Tigers got going on their back-breaking run. He opened the charge with a three as Clemson took control over the next eight minutes. Filer added two more 3-pointers and when he closed the run on a foul shot, the Tigers were ahead 45-20 and cruising.
Filer was 7 of 7 from the field. He lone miss came at the foul line, where he was 3 of 4.
Mike Groselle had 13 points to lead the Citadel, which finished with a season high 25 turnovers. Setzekorn added 11 points for the Bulldogs.
Jordan Roper had 13 points and Damarcus Harrison 10 for the Tigers. Clemson's leading scorer, Devin Booker, finished with just 8 points, although he did not play most of the second half after turning his left ankle after a dunk.
Booker, a 6-foot-8 senior, iced the ankle. The injury was not considered serious.
Clemson finished its pre-Atlantic Coast Conference schedule with a dominant showing over the Citadel. Not that things came easily. The Tigers second-leading scorer, K.J. McDaniels, was late to a team gathering and did not start for the first time this season. The Bulldogs, who trailed Georgia Tech 20-3 early in in their last game, stuck with the Tigers the first 10 minutes.
Filer got the Tigers going after that and Clemson finished with a season-high in points.
Citadel showed the fatigue that comes from a month's worth of away games. The Bulldogs haven't played at home since a loss to Radford on Nov. 24 to start their on-going losing streak.
There were five losses, all on the road, in December by an average deficit of 25 points.
Once Clemson turned up its defensive pressure, the Citadel fell apart once again. Clemson scored 25 points off 13 first-half Bulldog turnovers. Rod Hall had a season-high four steals in the opening half for the Tigers. Clemson shot 63.3 percent (19 of 30) in the opening period against the Citadel.
Things won't likely be this simple come Saturday when Clemson starts ACC play against Florida State.

Stevie Wonder just called to say I love you, Baltimore, over the weekend.
The musician ate dinner at The Land of Kush, a vegan restaurant in Seton Hill, on Saturday, according to owner Greg Brown.
"His bodyguard introduced me to Stevie and said, 'Stevie Wonder would like to have dinner with you,'" Brown recalled.
The star said he had recently started eating a vegetarian diet, Brown said.
Wonder, who was with his niece and the bodyguard, ordered vegan barbecue rib tips, a rice and vegetable medley, split pea soup and candied yams, Brown said.
Wonder must have liked the food-- he returned Sunday to eat at The Land of Kush again, Brown said.
"He was very personable," said Brown.
Customers hung back until Wonder was leaving before asking him for autographs, Brown said.
"All of a sudden, everyone was asking for his autograph and telling him he's great," Brown said.
One of those customers was Steve Lemmerman, a musician who performs as DJ Lemz.
"A buddy I was with freaked out," said Lemmerman, who was eating with other musicians. "I was too scared to approach him, but I kind of creeped outside the window and took a selfie with him."
Wonder also stopped by the Apple Store in Towson Town Center, where he ran into two Baltimore club music stars, TT the Artist and Mighty Mark, who snapped pictures with him.
Wonder's visit was first reported by Reagan Warfield on MIX 106.5.

I think a good analogy would be the family doctor who is a D.O., and uses the science of medicine, a body of knowledge that he has acquired, and tools of observation to properly diagnose and prescribe corrective action for a patient without necessarily running a battery of tests to determine the exact nature of the illness.
BTW, you'd be hard-pressed to consider me a "saber-headsnhate," which I presume is a derogatory remark made at folks who use statistical analysis as a tool to evaluate baseball players. Regardless, it was an unnecessary potshot, probably even at a lower level than the "I would never give a fat player a pay day." A smart fan realizes that both disciplines are required in a successful MLB organization and that discussions on boards such as this do not require one to favor one over the other to discuss the merits of a player. However, you see so much discussion using statistical analysis because it is readily available to folks who post here, whereas professional scouting information is not.

Megan Murray is 1-0 this season following her 3-0 win against Boston College (Photo courtesy: Gil Talbot).
Scene Setter
The No. 1 Harvard women's squash team kicks off Ivy League play against No. 8 Dartmouth Wednesday at 5 p.m.
Last Time Out
Harvard extended its win streak to 18 consecutive matches with a 9-0 victory over Boston College in the MIT Round Robin Tournament. Freshman Saumya Karki made her collegiate debut and topped Lily Havens at the No. 1 position, 11-5, 11-6, 11-7. Classmates Isabelle Dowling and Allie Sperry both made their debuts, as well, and earned 3-0 wins.
Unbeaten Beginnings
Harvard has come out on the winning side in its season opener in all 38 years of its existence. Harvard blanked Boston College, 9-0, in this year's opener. The women also did not lose a game in the opener, sweeping all nine matches, 3-0. The women have also gone 2-0 in 35 straight seasons after dropping its second match of the season to Wellsley, 4-3, in 1973-74, which is the only time in the program's 37 previous years that the team has not gone 2-0 to start the season.
Happy Returns
Despite losing two All-Americans in Cece Cortes and Nirasha Guruge to graduation, the Crimson still returns three All-Americans from last year's team. Sophomore and defending national champion Amanda Sobhy is back for her second campaign after posting a 15-0 record last season. She is joined by 2010 national champion Laura Gemmell, who has been a first team All-America selection each of her three years in Cambridge, and team co-MVP and second team All-American Haley Mendez. Overall, the Crimson returns seven of its top nine for 2012-13.
New Kids on the Block
Four freshman will join the Crimson in its attempt to repeat this year. Saumya Karki, Michelle Gemmell, Isabelle Dowling and Allie Sperry are all expected to make an immediate impact for Harvard. Karki and Gemmell are projected to play in the top six this season, while Dowling will compete for a spot in the lower third of the lineup. Sperry was a late addition to the squad, walking on just prior to the beginning of the season to pick up a win at BC.

Family Ties
Senior Laura Gemmell is joined on the squad this year by her younger sister, Michelle. Isabelle Dowling is the third member of her family to play squash at Harvard, as her mother, Diana Edge '88, and father, Joseph Dowling '87, both suited up for the Crimson. Senior co-captain Sarah Mumanachit's older sister, Sandra '10, was also a four-year member of the squad.
Still the One
In the CSA preseason rankings, the Crimson was selected as the favorite to repeat as national champions. Harvard is followed by archrival Yale and Trinity in the preseason projection, the teams it defeated in the finals and semifinals at last year's CSA Team Championships.
Related Articles: CSA Tabs Women's Squash as Preseason Number One
The Captains
Seniors Natasha Kingshott and Sarah Mumanachit were both elected team captains prior to the start of the season. Kingshott posted a 13-4 mark last season, playing in the three through six spots in the lineup, while Mumanachit went 15-2 primarily out of the seven hole.
Leading the Way
Mike Way, The Gregory Lee '87 and Russell Ball '88 Endowed Coach for Squash at Harvard University, returns for his third season. In just over two years in Cambridge, his women's teams have gone a combined 29-2, including last year's 17-0 mark. Assistants Reg Schonborn and Luke Hammond return for the 2012-13 season.
Last Season
Harvard concluded a perfect 2011-12 season in impressive fashion, defeating No. 2 Yale, 8-1, in the College Squash Association Championship match to end the year with a 17-0 mark and capture the program's 13th national title. The Crimson swept six of the nine matches after narrowly beating the Bulldogs, 5-4, to claim the Ivy title earlier in the year.
About Dartmouth
The Big Green returns eight of nine players from last year's ladder, including its top seven players. First team All-Ivy selection Corey Schafer leads the way for Dartmouth, which went 6-9 last year. The Big Green has not yet competed in a match this season but did partake in the Ivy Scrimmages. The women went 1-2, falling to Princeton, 9-0, and Cornell, 8-1, and beating Brown, 9-0. In the all-time series, Harvard holds a 41-3 advantage and is currently on a five-game win streak dating back to 2008.
Up Next
Harvard continues its three-game homestand against Williams Dec. 5 at 6 p.m.

Department of Music Presents Gilbert and Sullivan's Iolanthe
The Hamilton College Department of Music staged the annual choir musical, Iolanthe, with book by W.S. Gilbert and music by Arthur Sullivan. The fully staged show, performed Feb. 8-10, was directed by G. Roberts Kolb with choreography by Nancy Long and set and lighting design by William DiPaolo.
Iolanthe is a comic opera that satirizes the British political system. The play opens with the fairies mourning the anniversary of Iolanthe's exile, a fairy that committed the crime of marrying a human 25 years prior. When the fairy queen is convinced to pardon Iolanthe, the banished fairy is brought back with her son, Strephon. It's soon revealed that Strephon is in love with Phyllis, the ward of the Lord Chancellor. Unfortunately, the Chancellor forbids Strephon from marrying Phyllis because of his low rank. When Phyllis asks for Iolanthe's help, things begin to look up for not only Strephon, but all of fairyland as well.
Principal female roles in the production included Mackenzie Leavenworth '15 as Celia, Madison Kircher '14 as Leila, Kim Hughes '14 as Fleta, Katie Puccio '15 as the Queen of the Fairies, Andrea Wrobel '13 as Iolanthe and Alexandra Kaplan '13 as Phyllis. Male principals were Andrew Nichols '14 as Stephron, Brian Evans'15 as Lord Chancellor, Jeremy Brendle'14 as Earl Tolloller, Will Robertson '14 as the Earl of Mountararat and Robby Wittner '13 as Pvt. Willis.

Aka Mai Knitter
An enjoyable pastime activity that generations have been engaging in is the art of knitting. People have made this hobby as an avenue to create decorative items and gifts for the home. In the 'olden days' knitting was the main way of making clothes but as time progressed other methods of making clothes took over from knitting. As you may know knitting normally requires wool from a sheep, nowadays you can now use other materials like acrylic wool. Acrylics and other plastic can be used to create other useful craft items like pvc cloth and beads. The weaving method of knitting is no longer limited to the pleasure of older folks but is fast becoming a new and fun way for the younger population to express their artistic side through the use of needles and yarns.
Knitting is the technique of making fabric by using thread or yarn. This cloth fabrication procedure can be accomplished by hand or by machine. A variety of needles and threads are the tools needed to produce pieces of cloth through his method.
Knitting Tips for Beginners
Just like every project, there are basic guidelines and requirements that must be present in order to begin. It is beneficial for a novice to have all these information and tools at hand. Although the fundamentals of this method might be simple, the outcome of such an undertaking can be very rewarding.
Acquire Knitting Knowledge
One can learn how to knit by attending lessons offered by shops. He also can watch video tutorials, read books and magazines that provide detailed instructions on this sewing task. Consulting those who have been engaged in this hobby for some time will also prove to be of great assistance to the beginner. The internet also offers information and visual aids in this subject.
Needles and Threads
Knitting needles are rods with dull points. These items can be made from plastic, metal or wood and come in singular, dual, spherical and detachable tips. Yarns or threads are available in an assortment of colors and textures. These strands are made up of cotton, polyester and silk. There are also threads manufactured from natural components like untreated cotton and bamboo.
Main Stitching Procedures
Casting on the threads on the needles starts the process and when a portion is done, casting off ends the stitching for that particular piece. One has to learn the two main sewing techniques in this pleasurable pursuit and these are knit and purl. Gauging is also required to form a single-inch square pattern. One has to master these procedures in order to move ahead to more complicated designs.
Try it Out
Now that one is equipped with the essentials, he can start stitching with simple designs that do not require exact fittings and lengths. Table top coverings, facial and body cloths and scarves are perfect examples of such items. One can use the stockinette sewing method for his first creation. After having mastered the skills to make the easiest patterns, one can now use his experience to sew up more complicated items.
No longer is knitting just for those who have retired and are simply passing time. This handy and transportable package of fun and expression has conquered the interest and practicality of people of all ages and genders all over the globe. The knitting, purling and gauging of needles and yarns bring forth the creation of picturesque and delightful gifts for the home.

Climbing frozen water
The Eastside's most ephemeral sport in full swing
On an unusually warm midwinter day, Juan Lopez swung into the ice with the hard-earned familiarity of years of working construction.
A veteran of a battle against diabetes and holding a laundry list of prescription medications, Lopez, 43, of Woodlake, said he was looking for moderation. He found it by climbing ice.
"I've always liked the use of tools," he said on a recent outing, "so when I saw people climbing ice walls with ice tools, it intrigued me; and the love of being outdoors in the winter added more to the adventure."
No one would argue that ice climbing is an odd sport. Ephemeral by nature, the season is practically over by the time it starts, and, conveniently, just as you start to get pretty good.
But perhaps that short window of opportunity adds to the allure.
Rock climbers, non-climbers, meet-up groups, vacationing troops and others all might find reasons to pick up a set of ice tools, don crampons, and try their hands (and feet) at this wild activity.
Climbers say they regard ice climbing as a way to expand their overall mountaineering skills and confidence in the mountains; or they may enjoy it as a sport unto itself. But prior experience climbing is by no means a prerequisite for venturing onto the ice.
Perhaps Lopez's peculiar pathway to ice via construction work is a better "feeder" sport than anything else.
Lopez knew how to swing an ice tool before he ever picked one up, given that the action of swinging a hammer is very similar. To one veteran ice climber, he was not so much a natural as he was an old hand, even on his first swing.
What hooked him, he said, was the actual sound of climbing ice.
"The remarkable sound the tools make when they strike the ice was the winning bonus of this sport," he said.
A satisfying thunk, and a climber can move up with grace and confidence.
Lopez was not always a climber. And, he said, he was not always the healthy, robust person sharing a rope with another climber on this particular day.
Some years ago, Lopez said he had a harsh reality check.
"When I was diagnosed by the doctor with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes," he said, "I decided to use my love of the mountains to exercise, and started watching my diet because I refused to fix my health issue with chemicals."
He took up backpacking, and then donned snowshoes to keep up his habit through the winter. Then came his foray onto the ice.
He said he loves it for "the adventure and amount of focus that is needed to accomplish your goal. You have to clear your mind from the outside world, and all worries are gone.
"Climbing," he said, "is my escape from the chaos of the world."
Ice climbing is not the easiest sport to pick up. After years of mountaineering and some rock climbing, Lopez said he decided to hire a guide to teach him the ropes of ice climbing.
Climbing ice is like climbing really bad rock. Every other hand-hold breaks off and hurtles indiscriminately toward the ground—or a belayer's head, if he or she is in the wrong spot.
The number one rule with ice climbing is to get out of the way of falling ice.
Number two: Try not to embarrass yourself by referring to your two ice tools as ice axes. Completely different equipment.
And number three: Enjoy.
Ice climbing can take mountaineers places they never thought they'd end up. Tucked away in icy north-facing corners and cliffs, in deep canyons or high on mountains, ice can be out of the way and in plain sight at the same time.
It's that lingering strip of snow up high on Mt. Dana in the fall, or that inconspicuous frozen waterfall far below the Tioga Road at the start of winter.
Or, it's a road trip to Colorado's ice park or Montana's infamous Hyalite Canyon.
For Lopez, ice climbing was a reason to drive around the Sierra Nevada; a way to see the Eastside—finding adventure in his own (extended) backyard.
Whether building new skills or rebuilding a wayward life, ice climbing can offer a fresh perspective and a renewed sense of adventure and exploration.
Lopez said he knew how to use his strength and skills to build houses. With that, he took another swing, and realized he could also lay himself a new foundation.

Motivated employees work harder, pure and simple. We all know that, but the obvious question still remains: how do we get our staff motivated?
Daniel Pink, best-selling author and speaker, has studied the research surrounding motivation in the workplace, and the basic fundamentals of motivation fall into three categories.
- Autonomy
- Mastery
- Purpose
A word of warning, none of these areas can be immediately mastered in the span of a day or two. It takes effort and time, but with the right application a solid base of motivated employees will result.
Now that we've established that, let's look deeper at each of the three core areas of employee motivation.
Autonomy, at its core, can be defined as the amount of control someone has over the "how" of their work. Allowing people to have some measure of control over the tools, timelines, techniques, etc. will give them a sense of fulfillment. Imagine if someone asked you to build a house, but then they proceeded to tell you exactly what materials to procure, what labor to use, etc.
You might get it done, but it wouldn't be as satisfying as someone giving you the end goal and setting loose your creativity and unique talents to find the best way to accomplish the task.
Mastery is all about employees feeling as if they understand a topic on a deep level. If we peel back the psychology, researchers have found that each and every one of us wants to believe that we are special–that we know something that others do not. Mastery is a great example of harnessing that psychological desire and tying it to the workplace.
We recently released some data in an infographic that shows companies are jumping on the bandwagon here—in fact, 69% of respondents provide professional development opportunities in order to ensure that their employees are differentiated in their skills to ensure a competitive advantage.
Purpose is a tricky one, but it can also be the most powerful of the three. Giving someone a strong mission/vision will help them to understand the purpose for what they are doing.
Asking someone to file papers all day sounds painful. Asking someone to file documents to assist with low-income housing residents so that their kids can have a safe place to grow up sounds like an amazing mission. Instill purpose into people, and they will become an amazing force for positive change.
Take your mark, get set…
And go! Pick one of these areas and start working today to emphasize them with regard to staff development. By the way, if you'd like to dig deeper into this topic, here's a video of Mr. Pink describing in detail the ideas of autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Enjoy!

WALTHAM, Mass. -- Coming off their most successful campaigns in decades, the Brandeis University men's and women's soccer teams have each been ranked 12th in the nation in Division III in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Preseason Top 25 poll.
The Brandeis men are up one spot from their final postseason ranking of #13 in 2013. The Judges were 18-3-1 last season, a campaign in which they earned a share of their first-ever UAA title and made it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Division III tournament. Coach Mike Covenenters his 41st season on the sidelines with eight of his 11 starters returning, including 2012 All-America forward and University Athletic Association Player of the Year Sam Ocel (No. Attleboro, Mass./No. Attleboro). Ocel had nine game-winning goals and returns for a "second senior" season after missing his sophomore campaign to injury. The Judges are one of three New England teams in the Top 25, behind #3 Williams and #4 Amherst. Eighteenth-ranked Carnegie Mellon is the only other UAA team in the top 25, with the University of Rochester just outside of the rankings. The Brandeis men open the 2013 season on August 31 and September 1 at Keene State's Xara Classic, facing the host Owls and Rowan University. The Judges' first home game is Wednesday, September 4 at 7 p.m. against MIT.

The Brandeis women were ranked No. 8 at the end of the 2012 season after posting a 16-5-2 record. The Judges reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III tournament, finishing one win short of the first Final Four in program history. The Judges return 10 of their 11 starters, including sophomore All-America forward Dara Spital (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep) who was fourth in Division III with eight game-winning goals. The Judges are the top-ranked squad among five from New England in the top 25 (#15 MIT, #16 Wheaton, #20 Williams, #22 Middlebury) and fourth among five University Athletic Association squads (#2 Emory, #4 Washington University, #5 Carnegie Mellon, #15 Univ. of Chicago). Brandeis, which will be under head coach Denise Dallamora for the 34th season, will face #15 MIT at home in their season opener on Friday, August 30 at 6 p.m.

Gauthier out, search begins for Habs' next GM
"Just qualifying for the playoffs cannot be our goal or our standard. Not for this team, not for this organization," Montreal Canadiens owner and president Geoff Molson said at Thursday's news conference.
Photograph by: Peter McCabe , The Gazette
MONTREAL — Pierre Gauthier is no longer general manager of the Montreal Canadiens, and Bob Gainey is no longer a special adviser to the club.
Geoff Molson, the club's owner, president and CEO, announced at a news conference Thursday morning at the team's practice facility in Brossard, Que., that Gauthier has been relieved of his duties immediately. By mutual agreement with Molson, Gainey has left his post as special adviser to the general manager.
But Molson, who said he grew up as a huge fan of Gainey, stressed that the Hall of Famer and former Habs captain will forever be part of the Canadiens' family. Hall of Fame defenceman Serge Savard, the general manager for the Canadiens' last two Stanley Cup championships, in 1986 and 1993, has been brought in by Molson as an adviser in the search for a new GM.
Molson said that until a decision has been made, the process of hiring a new GM and the list of candidates will remain confidential.
The Canadiens sit in 28th place out of 30 teams in the overall NHL standings with a 29-34-14 record and were officially eliminated from the playoffs last Saturday. They have five games remaining in the regular season, starting Friday in New York against the Rangers.
"We felt that the direction of the club needed to change from a hockey standpoint," Molson said. "Our priorities as an organization moving forward are as follows: to improve our team at every level, to re-establish a winning culture for the long term, to give our fans what they deserve — the best possible product on the ice and establish stability in all areas of our organization.
"Just qualifying for the playoffs cannot be our goal or our standard," he added. "Not for this team, not for this organization. This organization going forward must set its sights on competing for the game's ultimate prize every season, and no lesser standard should be accepted. Our fans and our tradition demand nothing less than this."
Gauthier joined the Canadiens as director of pro scouting in 2003 and was considered the right-hand man to GM Gainey. Gauthier took over as GM after Gainey stepped down in February 2010, but Gainey remained as an adviser.
Molson said there was no deadline to name a successor and was non-commital on whether the next GM would be francophone. He said it's the team's preference that the next GM be able to speak French, but that the key attribute of whoever is named GM would be "an undying desire to win at any cost."
Names being floated about include TSN analyst Pierre McGuire, former Canadiens captain Vincent Damphousse, Tampa Bay Lightning assistant GM Julien BriseBois and former goaltending great Patrick Roy, who won two Stanley Cups with Montreal, but was traded to Colorado amid controversy in 1995.
The Canadiens got off to a poor start this season, which led to the firings of first assistant coach Perry Pearn and then head coach Jacques Martin.
"It goes without saying that we're all very disappointed with our performance this season," Molson said. "Everyone in this organization, including our players, expected better. We play in the best hockey market in the world and we have the best fans in hockey. Our fans care deeply about our team and want nothing more than a winning team, one that follows in the tradition of our storied past.
"This season did not deliver on those expectations. Our fans can trust that ownership will accept nothing less than a winning culture in this organization. This season our team was decimated by serious injuries and, while this in and of itself is not an excuse, we take pride in knowing that our players have the character to show up every night regardless of the lineup. We managed to be competitive almost every night."

Boulder police have arrested a woman on suspicion of cruelty to animals after investigators said she failed to get veterinary treatment for a 3-month-old puppy when it suffered broken legs and burns.
Caitlin Lesko, 24, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of aggravated animal cruelty and cruelty to animals with neglect or mistreatment.
According to a news release, police were called to the South Boulder Animal Hospital on Oct. 29 when staff members said a puppy had been brought in that had possibly been neglected.
Police said the 3-month-old French bulldog, named Bamboo, had third-degree burns on half of its stomach as well as two broken legs.
Lesko said the dog's legs were injured before she purchased it and said the dog suffered burns when she put it too close to the heater to keep it warm.
She told police when she sought treatment for the puppy's broken leg, she could not afford veterinary care and refused treatment. Lesko surrendered the puppy to police Nov. 2.
Lesko is free on bond and due for a filing of charges Dec. 5.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Boulder police animal control supervisor Janee Boswell at 303-441-4385.

A joint initiative between the American Immigration Council and AILA seeks to change the playing field for immigrants facing deportation.

AILA Doc. No. 09073165 | Dated July 30, 2009
Senators Menendez and Gillibrand unveil legislation that requires immigration authorities to follow appropriate due process when detaining individuals and to treat detainees humanely.
WASHINGTON, DC - The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) applauds U.S. Senators Menendez (D-NJ), and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) for bringing forth a package of legislation to reform our country's detention system. The two-bill proposal includes: the Protect Citizens from Unlawful Detention Act (S. 1549), which would establish minimum standards of procedure and treatment for U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents and immigrants impacted by immigration enforcement and detention operations. It also includes the Strong STANDARDS Act (S. 1550), which sets minimum detention standards and requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to ensure laws concerning the treatment of detainees are properly enforced. The Protect Citizens from Unlawful Detention is also co-sponsored by Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA).
"In light of the alarmingly high number of cases in which U.S. citizens, immigrants and others are mistakenly and unlawfully detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and in which detainees are exposed to inhumane conditions, it's absolutely the right thing to do," said Bernie Wolfsdorf, president of AILA. "Everyone in the U.S. deserves the protection of our laws and these legislative initiatives will help reinforce what our great country has always stood for: liberty, the rule of law and basic human rights for all."
This legislation comes in the wake of a report by the Cardozo School of Law which found a pattern of ICE agents deliberately breaking their way into private homes in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, and found a significantly high disproportion of Latino residents are arrested without an articulated reason.
AILA was among other groups such as, American Civil Liberties Union, Amnesty International, Asian American Justice Center, the Episcopal Church, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, Human Rights First, Human Rights Watch, National Council of La Raza, National Immigration Forum, Rights Working Group and the Women's Refugee Commission that endorsed these pieces of legislation.
The American Immigration Lawyers Association is the national association of immigration lawyers established to promote justice, advocate for fair and reasonable immigration law and policy, advance the quality of immigration and nationality law and practice, and enhance the professional development of its members.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho considers Portuguese youngster Bruma a rising star and has asked the board to fund a transfer.
Speculation is mounting that the winger is set for a move to the Premier League after his agent blocked Sporting Lisbon's attempts to tie the hotshot to a new contract worth £300,000, according to the Sunday Times.
The 18-year-old has been linked with several English clubs, including Manchester City and Manchester United, but Chelsea appear to be particularly interested.
Bruma's youth would be a sizeable advantage for the Blues, who will be allowed to register him in their Champions League and Premier League squads without occupying one of their few remaining spaces for non-homegrown players.
The Guinea-born midfielder has risen to prominence in the ongoing FIFA Under-20 World Cup tournament, having already scored five goals in three appearances to help his adopted nation Portugal to a round of 16 tie with Ghana.
Mourinho has been scouting Bruma since his spell at Real Madrid, though he now hopes the youngster will agree to link up with Chelsea - following the coach's decision to leave the Bernabeu and rejoin the Stamford Bridge faithful.
Bruma, who made his first-team debut for Sporting in February after five years in the renowned Portuguese academy setup, is frequently likened to Cristiano Ronaldo, the nation's all-time most successful professional footballer.
Described by the Times as "quick, skilful and capable of playing anywhere across the forward line", if Portugal's latest prodigious player is in any way near to emulating Ronaldo, he is certain to be a fantastic signing for Chelsea.

What better way to celebrate your 25th year in education than by being named the Davidson County Schools Principal of the Year.
REEDS | What better way to celebrate your 25th year in education than by being named the Davidson County Schools Principal of the Year.
Reeds Elementary School Principal Christie Weatherly has been selected to represent the district during the regional competition for Wells Fargo Principal of the Year.
"It was an honor to be recognized by my peers. I was quite shocked," Weatherly said. "It was an incredible group of principals I was up against. It could have been any one of us. I just want to do a good job and represent our county well. It's not just representing me, I represent all the administrators in Davidson County. It's not just for me, it's for all of us because I know how hard these guys work."
Dr. Fred Mock, superintendent of Davidson County Schools, congratulated Weatherly and wished her well.
"Mrs. Weatherly is highly valued by her school community and her peers in the school system," he said. "She models standards and ethics that encourage high level of performances. Her pleasant manner is accommodating and sensitive to the needs of her students and families."
Originally from Rockingham, Weatherly started college at Appalachian State University where she considered entering the teaching arena. Weatherly's mother was a principal, and her father had been a teacher. She wanted to make sure that was the route she wanted to take for herself.
"It became very clear to me that teaching is a calling," Weatherly said. "I wanted to make a difference in children's lives. I love watching students grow as leaders … not only academically but also socially, spiritually and emotionally."
After marrying in 1982, she decided to go back to school and graduated from Winston-Salem State University with an elementary education degree in 1988. That same year her teaching career begin at Moore Elementary School in Winston-Salem where she stayed for 13 years.
Weatherly's next move was to Welcome Elementary School. After five years, she became the assistant principal at Churchland Elementary. Weatherly also became national board certified in 2002. In 2006, she earned her master's degree in school administration from Gardner-Webb University.
Weatherly became the principal of Reeds Elementary in 2008. She ventured to the administrative side after wanting to provide support for teachers.
"I wanted to be a servant leader. I wouldn't ask (teachers) to do anything I wouldn't do," she said. "I love having an open door policy not only for the community and parents but the staff and children, too. They know I'm always accessible."
She is married to David Weatherly, and they have a son, Wade, who is a junior at North Davidson High School.
Reeds has 372 students enrolled. She oversees 60 teachers and staff at the school. Weatherly taught for 13 years and has served as an administrator the past seven years.
"I'm blessed to be in Davidson County Schools," Weatherly said. "We receive incredible support as administrators. It's just been an incredible career."

A Tale of Failing (So Far) to Break into the Oregon Wine Industry
Lately I've been trying to get a little part-time job in the local wine industry. You know, schleping boxes or pouring wine for people in tasting rooms. Anything where I can make a little money, learn some more about the wine industry, and maybe make some contacts for my one day dream of producing and selling my own wine. But it's not as easy as it seems, and sometimes, given one recent experience, I wonder why I would wish the potential horror of working for idiots upon myself.
A few weeks back I see a listing for a tasting room position at a local winery, and I send in my resume with a chipper email saying something about how much I'd love to be part of the team, etc. I get a reply pretty quickly saying I'll have a phone interview in a few days. So the time comes and the interview goes well enough. But predictably the job doesn't pay much, in fact less than I'd even expected. How much? How about $8 an hour.
So I'm thinking to myself, why not do something more fun for free if I just want to learn more and make contacts? I mean, the money isn't ever going to be good and I have a fulltime job. It really didn't help things when the interviewer person rattled off some garbage about how the clones from this winery's vineyards were part of the select few asked to provide cuttings to replace all the French vineyards wiped out in the '70s. I think I missed that little element in French wine history.
Anyway, I kept my mouth shut and thought that, at the least, I'll just turn down the job. But wouldn't you know it, I can't even make the cut for $8 an hour. I get an email a week later saying I don't have the "marketing prowess" or "tasting room experience" to be one of the lucky 3 out of 75 applicants to get the job. This from a winery with a tasting room allegedly so slow I was encouraged to bring a book for down times between visitors.
So that's a little slice of the Oregon job market. I'll be fine, but what about the other 71 rejects? Could there really be that many people as insane as I was for applying in the first place? Are they blogging about their inner frustration? Will this tale of woe have a happy outcome? Stay tuned.

I can relate to this little tale. I went through the same thing before I got my first gig at cellar door (tasting room). I just knocked on doors, trying to get my face known. Persistance was the best attribute I had.
My pay was pretty low when I finally got a few casual shifts. I worked for a year at the winery cellar door before getting an IT contract that paid twice as much.
Still, it was enjoyable meeting lots of new people, doing the tastings and selling the wine.I'd like to get back into cellar door work while I study for my wine marketing diploma.
Hope you have more luck but don't ever expect to make your fortune doing it.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, it's all about persistance. I have more to add to my tale, stay tuned for an update.

Saber Interactive and its subsidiary Old School Games have announced God Mode, a third-person shooter set to come out in early 2013. The 4-player cooperative game has you taking the mantle of a child of Hades and shooting your way through the hellish landscape.
The game promises RPG elements like collecting experience and gold for customization and equipment, and match modifiers that will change the win conditions without warning. In the trailer, a few modifiers are shown such as Dwarfs, which makes all enemies smaller, faster, and weaker, and Hammer of Gods, which grants a powerful melee weapon to a random player.
"It doesn't take itself too seriously," Saber Interactive's Matthew Karch told IGN. "It is lighthearted fun and focuses on arcade style action over a deep story. I think this makes sense for downloadable games, where players are looking for some quick, thoughtless action."

Microsoft is offering heavily discounted Microsoft Surface tablet PCs to attendees of the upcoming Worldwide Partner Conference, the company said Thursday.
During the July 7 through 11 span of WPC in Houston, attendees will be able to purchase the Surface RT with 64 GB and touch cover for $99.99 and the Surface Pro with 128 GB as a standalone for $399.99, said Jon Roskill, Microsoft corporate vice president and head of the worldwide partner group, in a blog post.
Best Buy is currently selling the Surface RT with 32GB for $499.99 ($599.99 with the Touch Cover) and the Surface Pro with 64GB for $899.99.
[Related: The Windows RT Effect]
The move follows an offer earlier this week from Microsoft to provide free Surface RT tablets to as many as 10,000 teachers attending this month's International Society for Technology in Education conference. And between now and Aug. 31, K-12 schools and colleges can buy Surface RT tablets with 32 GB for $199 ($249 with the touch cover.)
Microsoft also offered discounted Surface tablets to attendees of its recent TechEd conference, although that offer was limited to one per attendee.
Microsoft is believed to have huge inventories of unsold Surface tablets, especially those running Windows RT -- as many as 4 million units, according to some reports. All these discounted offers have generated speculation that Microsoft is readying a new generation of Surface tablets and the company is seeking ways to unload the products it has on hand.
"We want to make the Surface easily available to our WPC partners, who tend to be some of the most invested and innovative partners Microsoft has the pleasure of working with," Roskill said in his blog. "In deep appreciation of our WPC partners and with much excitement for the opportunities we share in devices and services, we are excited to announce a special offer for WPC partner participants."
Microsoft began shipping the Surface tablet with the Windows RT operating system back in October and there have been reports that the product has not been selling well. Earlier this year Microsoft began selling the Surface Pro with Windows 8.
