Oh My Stars!
As I'm sure you've all heard, there was a bit of a dust-up recently over whether or not our astrology signs have changed. Betrayal, bewilderment, boredom...there was a veritable gamut of emotions running wild.
Fortunately, CNN has since assured the world that my not being a Taurus is total bull. Whew! However, just for fun, let's take a look at these "new" signs and how they might have changed our lives forever.
Capricorn: Jan. 20 – Feb. 16
Capricorns are known to be obedient and dedicated. If you ask a Capricorn to do something, you can be sure it is going to get done...
Aquarius: Feb. 16 – March 11
Aquarius is represented by water, which fits this sign's creative, "free flow" personality.Pisces: March 11- April 18
Pisces is an emotional yet generous sign. These selfless individuals will give until it hurts.
Aries: April 18 - May 13
Much like their symbol the ram, Aries are fearless creatures. They forge boldly ahead, letting no man, beast...
Taurus: May 13- June 21
Taurus is a sign that never backs down. This stubborn bull will stand her ground through all of life's challenges.Gemini: June 21 - July 20
Gemini is often of two minds, waiting to make a choice until the very last minute.Cancer: July 20 - Aug. 10
Cancers are rooted in the past, home and hearth. You can trust a Cancer to feed you, mother you, clean you, feed you, love you...
Leo: Aug. 10- Sept. 16
Leos are very ambitious - shooting for the stars, taking on large projects, and sometimes getting in over their heads.
Virgo: Sept. 16 - Oct. 30
You can always count on the reliable Virgo to deliver steady, consistent results.
Libra: Oct. 30- Nov. 23
Libra has a clear sense of right and wrong, and is always a fair and impartial judge. However, Libra also craves communication and loves an opportunity to prove her intelligence.
Scorpio: Nov. 23- Nov. 29
Sharp-shooter Scorpio has no problem telling it like it is. Scorpio is honest, direct, and lays everything out in black and white.
Sagittarius: Dec. 17- Jan. 20
Nothing can slow down a carefree Sagittarius. Her spontaneity and drive keep things fun and interesting:
Wreckiuchus: Nov. 29- Dec. 17
Wreckiuchus likes to hide in plain sight, often going years before revealing himself to those closest to him.
Some skeptics say Wreckiuchus doesn't actually exist, but if you cross your eyes and stare really hard, we think you'll get the message.
The message being that you look pretty silly with your eyes crossed, of course.
Thanks to Kailee M., Sarah C., Maggie B., Jinglei, Aaron, Jordan F., Niloufer R., Anony M., Heather & Mikki, Katie O., Elizabeth, Stina, & Valerie M., who should all look before they leap, take advantage of sudden windfalls, and explore new opportunities today. And then maybe buy their favorite bloggers a snack. (We like Bugles.)

The Shiv is a truly triathlon-specific bike. Not only have the frameset and integrated cockpit been honed in our Win Tunnel, shaping its crosswind-optimized design, but we've also worked to keep the athlete as aero as possible. That's why we created an integrated hydration bladder and hid it in the frame, while also providing built-in storage for food and tools. This way, there's no need to break the aero tuck to drink or eat.

It has been nine days since I returned form Colorado and the TransRockies run with an interesting recovery. 113 intense miles over six days was a weekly mileage PR by about 25 miles so I knew I would be dealing with some fatigue. However, the source of even greater lethargy was the lack of sleep compounded over an entire week in Colorado. Over the course of seven nights in Colorado, I slept no more than 35 hours total (5 hours per night) and that is being generous. Here are some reasons why a peaceful, fullfilling night of sleep was impossible to achieve:
- Altitude: Particularly on the first night, I found that it's not as easy to sleep at 9,000 feet coming straight from sea level
- Thirst: Very dry air in Colorado made my mouth dry and lips chapped keeping me reaching for the water bottle
- Zippers: Constant opening and closing of zippers on people's tents; between 200+ tents somebody, somewhere was getting up to go to the bathroom.
- Snoring: One night I was situated next to an epic snorer that sounded like he was starting up a chainsaw. I made sure to let him know he had some serious issues the next day and suggested he move his tent far way into the meadows. I ended up moving far away from him.
- Semi Trucks: The grand finale was the Ford Park camp in Vail which was no more than 100 meters away from Interstate 70 where semis blasted through at 70 mph at all hours of the night.
- Humping (?): I also heard that some people's sleep was interfered by "intimate" noises, but fortunately I was not subject to this. I would have heckled and shouted this couple down if I had heard it. By that point I had lost patience with riff raff going on at night.
As you can see, sleep was a luxery I simply did not enjoy on the TransRockies. Somehow I pushed through the sleep deprivation (I might have been a bit cranky) on the trip, but it caught up with me when I returned to CA and for many days I had a general feeling of tiredness. I was hoping to get out to the high Sierra on this holiday weekend, but couldn't muster the enthusiasm for a long mountain run, let alone the drive to get there. The lack of sleep, combined with the expected fatigue from the high volume, has led to a mixed bag of training. On some days I simply feel like crap, and on other days I feel great. I'm hoping the big week of running in Colorado will pay dividends soon. I'm also excited to do some adventure runs in the high Sierra in late September, hopefully coinciding with the famous fall colors.
There are tons of deer all over the San Carlos hills and all the places I run at in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Here is a phot of a large buck right next to my place. He was sitting in the shade directly underneath my dining room window and I noticed the antlers. I shot this photo as he was walking away. I've also seen numerous fawns on the trail runs.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - California's 74-year-old governor, Jerry Brown, engineered a surprise victory for his tax-hike ballot proposition by tapping support at the other end of the age spectrum.
Proposition 30, a temporary $6 billion tax hike, passed with a solid 54 percent approval on Tuesday, driven largely by a higher-than-expected turnout of young voters, pollsters and analysts say.
The measure, a rare attempt by a state to raise taxes at a time of small-government fervor, was the cornerstone of Brown's plan to balance the state's $91 billion budget. Without it, the state would have to cut spending on schools and universities.
But in recent days, the proposition had seemed destined for failure, according to several polls. Brown, who began campaigning heavily for it in the last weeks of the election, held rallies at colleges, and many younger voters responded.
"It's the reversal of a historic trend," said Dan Schnur, director of the University of Southern California/Los Angeles Times poll, speaking about the normal difficulty of winning support for a tax measure in the waning days of a campaign. At the end of October, his poll showed only 46 percent of voters for the measure.
Young people made up about 28 percent of those who voted on Proposition 30, according to an exit poll from CNN, and 65 percent of them voted yes.
"We saw this amazing engagement that was fed by social media, on Facebook, on Twitter," said Scott Lay, president of the Community College League of California, an advocacy group.
The ability for the first time to complete the entire voter-registration process online contributed to the passage of the measure, he believes, because "young voters who registered online were more engaged."
As election day neared, polls from the Public Policy Institute of California, the California Business Roundtable with Pepperdine University, and the respected Field Poll, all showed less-than-majority support for Prop 30, and at best they labeled its chances a toss-up.
But Mark DiCamillo, director of the Field Poll, saw signs Brown could persuade undecided voters and told several reporters ahead of the election that Proposition 30 had a shot.
He cited data in his poll showing that undecided voters shared many characteristics with voters who favored Proposition 30, including a favorable view of Brown, a sense that they were paying about the right amount in taxes, and concern over budget cuts that could kick in if the measure failed.
"If you looked at the 14 percent that were undecided, they held views that were more in line with "Yes" voters," said DiCamillo. "All it needed was about three points from the undecided."
Brown's push in recent days for the initiative undoubtedly helped, including his visits to colleges and his attendance at a group of last-minute events, the pollsters said. On Monday, for example, Brown touted the measure at gatherings in San Diego, Burbank, Fresno, Sacramento and San Francisco.

What's In The News?
I must admit that I have been waiting for one of Gaius's thoughtful posts to liven things up but I understand the rigors of the daily grind and children, so I'll give you a rounding of what is happening in the news.
LoCo wants to close 4 schools they own outright, which will save 2 million a year in operating costs. Meanwhile, 68+million will go to LCPS for fiscal year 2015. The tax rate went down .05 cents and my assessment went up 100k. That means it will only cost me another $1,000 in taxes. What a deal. And they have cut back many services in savings already. Hmm. Where is that Silver Line?
–Immigration reform…Dem….active.
–Equal pay for women….Dem….active.
–Koch brothers…..Dem….active.
–Bloomberg 50 million towards curtailing gun rights….Dem….new.
–Holder and Obama targeted with racism…..Dem….active.
–ObamaCare……GOP….semi-active (becoming obscure with diversions)
We have a guy feeding cows on federal land who won't pay the Feds grazing rights. It got heated and civilians are toe-to-toe with armed Feds. Was getting ugly and not over yet. Meantime Putin is land grabbing more of the old USSR while everyone else in the world wags fingers. Ever notice that when big wars bring down aggressors, that nations go into downsizing mode with their military. The focus changes and the eye goes off the ball. During that period of non-focus, aggressors re-emerge upon the scene. Isn't what keeps them in check are strong military nations at the ready?
Gas is up right when I am getting ready to go fishing. Why are we spending $2 for crop and processing to make $1 of ethanol, just so we can continue to ruin the internal combustion engines that use it? And food is going up. We feed ourselves and others with wheat and corn staple, yet there isn't enough because of what is wasted as "alternate fuel". If we took the same amount of corn and distilled it, we could save money, have less vehicles on the road and feel good about being anally raped. I guess being drunk has advantages and savings too. But, heh, ALL food is up. Steak is up (because they feed them corn I guess). I see new taxes on all my utility bills. What's up with that? What is more important:desert turtles (who don't like solar farms) or smelts that are nothing more than Egret food? Ever notice where many of the supermarket meats come from lately? Do you really like brushing your teeth with toothpaste that comes from the same country of massive pollution and lead paint toys that cause suicide in supervisors?
And we don't need another 4 years of a woman president. It has been too long since we had balls in the White House. And we need more testicles in Congress too. A poster here thinks we need to build locally politically and move up. I agree, but I also agree that with a good role model at the top working down that you meet in the middle and get there twice as fast.
Out of all this news (or lack there of), that situation in Nevada with the cows has got my focus. The guy is wrong in his understanding of things. Should it have gotten out of hand? Yes, because the government is involved and that has rallied the people. The underlying theme here is freedom from government and in this case it doesn't matter if the issue is right or wrong. It is a cause for the people and it will escalate. Could be the beginning of the people's revolution. Someone is going to die and then all bets are off. Citizens have reached their breaking point and need a circumstance. I'll be fishing and watching. If need be I might need to extend my vacation and visit the southwest although I'm pretty sure the uprising will come to a neighborhood near me in time. Until then I'll be starving, going broke with taxes and healthcare. If you feel for my plight and to keep me off the government dole, you may send contributions to me here at NVTH. I promise that any excess funds will be used to buy more worthwhile things…….like bullets.

The Saints on Two Mile worked very hard to get everything arranged for a successful conference. The meeting house was nicely scrubbed inside and out. Preparations were in progress for its decoration and all seemed well. But the old spirit of prejudice and hatred that ever has existed against the work is not dead, even here where there are friends on every side. During the night of Wednesday, Aug. 8, some enemy was mean enough to set fire to the building, and in a few hours it was reduced to a heap of ashes. No clue is had of the perpetrator of the deed. The Saints naturally felt a little discouraged, and many of our opponents expressed themselves disgusted with the act. A very prominent man of the county has said that he will donate ten dollars for the erection of another house. The Saints have not given up hope of still holding their regular Sunday school and meetings, and John I. Guthrie has proferred [sic] the use of a good house until the time when a meeting house shall have been completed.
The burning of the church did not stop the preparations for conference. The Saints turned their attention to a beach [sic] grove near by, and by energetic work seats were arranged, a stand was erected, and ere long a very comfortable place to hold our meetings in was the result.
The grounds were very tastefully arranged with decorations and flowers, most noticeable of which was a banner placed back of the speaker's stand, bearing the following inscriptions: "The first principles of the Gospel," ["]Faith in Christ," "Repentance towards God," "Baptism for the remission of sins," "Gift of the Holy Ghost," "In God we trust," "Holiness to the Lord."
The southern people are noted for their hospitality, and they added to their fame on the occasion of the conference. Between the morning and afternoon services picnic in abundance was provided on the grounds. All partook with relish of the sumptuous spread, after which a very pleasant time was had in conversation and general handshaking.
Too much praise cannot be given the Bonham Brothers Glee club for their kindness in rendering a number of pleasing selections during the meeting.
It was estimated that fully five hundred people were present at the afternoon service on Sunday. Many were from outside counties, prominent among whom were Squire James Adkins and Hezekiah Bryant, of Lincoln, William Cartwright, of Caball, and Thomas Foster of Boone.
Great credit is due the Saints and other friends residing on Two Mile, for the manner in which they entertained the brethren and visitors. Indeed they have ever been true friends to the traveling Elders. Special mention is made of Grandma Guthrie, who, though not a member of the Church, has endeared herself to many an Elder by her acts of kindness.
In conclusion we would say that all the Elders are well and enjoying their labors.
President of Conference.
Clerk of Conference.
Asst. Clerk.

Experience…24 miles Nordic skiing and outdoor ice climbing—a few examples of St. Anton's many winter activities.
If you're looking to escape to a charming Austrian village that offers a unique modern-meets-historic experience, a St. Anton ski vacation fits the bill. Renowned for its happening nightlife, this Arlberg resort town offers visitors a wide range of restaurants, bars, shops and accommodations. The pedestrian village and easy lift access makes it one of the best all-in-one destinations in the Alps. Escape the hubbub of the village on the vast slopes of Arlberg ski region, which includes bus-accessed Zurs and Lech ski resorts, and discover the infinite terrain that makes this area one of Europe's premier destinations.
And while gung-ho skiers will love what the St. Anton skiing offers, those looking to explore what this scenic Alpine ski town has to offer will be pleased with what they find. This historic mountain town combines the charm of Austrian hospitality with lively après-ski activities and some of the most beautiful ski runs in the Alps. The après-ski scene is quite diverse, including sunny outdoor cafes, late night discos and traditional Tyrolean entertainment.
The St. Anton skiing offers visitors scenic views over 9,000 feet, a vertical drop of 5,000 feet and runs up to five miles long. Beginners and intermediates will enjoy the open snow fields accessed by the Rendlbahn gondola as well as the meandering trails among the Kapall and Galzig complexes.

GreatGreat runs but I will try January next time. I went in March and snow was slushy.
Wonderful TimeSt Anton was absolutely amazing. The only complaint I had was that we did not stay long enough. I will definitely be returning to see the rest of the resort.
Fantastic Ski VacationAll around excellent vacation. St. Anton is likely the best area I have ski'd in. Beautiful wide runs, many mountains and little villages. It is not an area where they pack a lot of lifts and runs on a small mountain. These are wide and spread out. Very long runs. Got in 120 miles of skiing in 6 days, not counting lifts. Weather helped, every day was fantastic sun shine. Lots of great restaurants, bars, etc. Places to eat on the slopes as well as in the village of St. Anton. Very reasonably priced for such a great resort area. I highly recommend St. Anton to any enthusiastic skier!
St Anton - great snow, awesome apres skiChallenging resort with steep slopes, certainly not for beginners but with the best snow and of course Mooserwirt, probably the best apres ski place in the Alps. Will definitively be back sometime.
St. Anton, Lech and Zurs is the best!Skiing St. Anton am Arlberg is where skiing was born. It usually gets more snow than other areas of the Alps. The town of St. Anton has all the convinences...shops, resturants, grocies and near by gondolas and lifts. When you want to do some exploring, skiing over to lech and Zurs is do-able, bus buses are always standing by to take you over to lots of great skiing.There's a lot of night life, but skiing was our main conncern and jumping into a cozy bed was the best. We will most certainly be back.

Science and Democracy: Can This Marriage Be Saved?The modern ideal of democracy-a constitutional polity governed by thoughtful citizens who decide on policy after public consideration of alternative courses of action and their consequences-emerged in the 18th century, riding on the coattails of a scientific worldview shared by Jefferson, Franklin, and every other signatory of the U.S. Declaration of Independence.
That worldview was articulated in its classical form by John Locke and his good friend Isaac Newton, and has served historically to underwrite democracy as scientifically suited to humankind and our place in Nature. Newton's lawful Nature, ordained and guaranteed by God-where atoms gravitate to form molecules, and these lawfully assemble into the visible structure of our world-was taken up by Locke in the Second Treatise of Government in 1688. Locke argued that humans are social atoms, and he represented the "social contract" as the gravitation of these sovereign atomic individuals to form associations governed by laws that all must obey. Science and democracy are here indissolubly joined in a single world system: Individuals, like physical atoms, are free, independent, and prior to the structures they build.
This complementarity of science and democracy is not lightly abandoned, and may explain why the scientific worldview of most educated people contains nothing of relativity, quantum mechanics, or theoretical population genetics. Yet these ideas have largely superseded those of Newton and even Darwin, and have guided physics and biology for the better part of a century. I suspect the newer views appear to undercut the alliance between science and democratic politics. The characteristic vocabulary of current science-filled with words such as relative, uncertain, indeterminate, random, mutant-does not seem to bode well for an ordered polity.
I don't agree. Relativity, quantum mechanics, and population genetics are not only compatible with democratic politics, they provide a vastly more useful way of viewing the world and acting in it than the 300-year-old Newtonian and the 150-year-old Darwinian ideas they have replaced.
Let us first take up Einstein's theory of relativity, one of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted pieces of science in history. The very word conjures up visions of subjective and irresolvable disputation, solipsism, uncertainty, even the rejection of a single truth in favor of multiple truths. But the theory says nothing of the sort.
What it really says is that, if I see the world from here and you see it from there and we see different things, there is no way to say what is "really" happening, i.e., which of us is right. However-and a big however it is-the same laws of nature apply to both of us, and we can write "translation rules" that get us from my standpoint to yours and back again. We may disagree about interpretations, but can and must agree on the facts.
Consider the recent prosecution of the Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk for "denigrating Turkish identity" (he alluded to the genocide against the Armenians in a radio interview). Turkey argues that it has a right to do this. Yet from the standpoint of the European Union, which Turkey very much wants to join, this violates fundamental human rights: If Turkey proceeds with the prosecution, it will not be allowed into the EU. Note that it is possible for both the EU and Turkey to map their differences even though there is no third interpretation which transcends both and resolves the dispute. Turkey may insist on its sovereign rights, but it can not deny it is prosecuting Pamuk for what he said, nor conceal the Armenian genocide. These facts are real and undeniable despite the relativity of viewpoints about them.
The social and political implications of relativity more clearly reflect our political realities than their Newtonian predecessors. The Newtonian version of negotiation-"Let's sit down and talk till we agree on a single viewpoint," which has failed repeatedly in Israel and Palestine-gives way to a rationally comprehended set of differences of interpretation of the same facts. This is a hard lesson, but not a hopeless one. Actions are still consequential. It is permissible to change one's mind, but not the facts of the world. A suicide bomber may be a terrorist in one frame and a martyr in another, but he is a killer in both. Whatever one calls the West Bank of the Jordan, it is occupied by Israel. We want our worldview to be scientific precisely to guarantee we will be guided by facts, not just by interpretations. Science tells us what is happening, but not what we should do about it.
Turning to quantum physics, we find a set of ideas almost as thoroughly misrepresented as relativity. "Quantum" is an ordinary Latin word meaning "individual unit." When Einstein wrote a paper on the nature of light, he argued that while light clearly has the characteristics of a wave, at the moment something emits light or absorbs it, this event has a particulate character: There are light particles (photons).
Interpreted socially and politically, the quantum theory broke with the late 19th century idea that we derive our identity from being part of some larger thing (the race, the state, the nation) and instead reestablished sovereign individuality. We live our lives in collectives, like photons in a wave, but we are born and we die as individuals.
In short, there is nothing in relativity or quantum mechanics which casts the slightest shadow or doubt on pluralist, democratic individualism.
When we turn to the biological we face a similar situation. Almost anyone who claims a scientific worldview believes in a common origin for life and descent with modification over billions of years. Many Darwinians like a version of the theory that rewards struggle to adapt to changing circumstances and finding a niche and making the most of it. While this scientific doctrine sits comfortably with democratic convictions, it is not how evolution works.
Even many ardent Darwinians have not been happy with the theoretical population genetics developed in the 1920s, especially by the American biologist Sewall Wright, who rejected the notion that organisms adapt themselves in any directed sense. Rather, evolution consists mostly of a shifting balance between random mutation on one hand and environmental pressure on the other. Since most of the environment is other organisms also mutating, evolution is the sum total of shifting balances within the genetic complement of the world. Adaptation is not something that organisms do, it is something that happens to them.
While this view of things seems random, it is not. It merely says that evolution does not proceed by organisms going it alone; we are always part of a larger system. Moreover, evidence from population genetics shows that evolution emphasizes experimentation; it also rewards moderate risk taking, inter-group cooperation, and communication; and applies to human social and technological systems as well as to biology-to the evolution of the bicycle and the internal combustion engine as well as the salmon and the deer. It suggests that societies that pay the premium now for solar, wind, and hydrogen power are more likely to succeed than a society that waits till the last drop of oil is gone and then tries to adapt by jumping instantly to another and higher optimum (nuclear fusion?).
Relativity, quantum mechanics, and population biology have much to offer us, if we bring them into our worldview. They reestablish a vital alliance between current natural science and democratic politics, and they offer concrete suggestions and approaches that grow, as the theories themselves, out of the soil of our own problems and prospects, not those of preceding centuries. It's time to make the change.

What if I were turned on by seemingly innocent words such as "scumble," "pinky" or "extrapolate?"
That's the opening line of a poem in local professor Rae Armantrout's 2010
Now here's the lead of a much more poorly received essay she published this month in Newsweek: "It's well known, I think, that San Diego has an inferiority complex."
After reading Armantrout's takedown of her hometown, I tried my own hand at poetry: What if I were turned off by seemingly illegitimate words such as "lack of charisma," "ersatz familiarity" and "the blankness of this town?"
Maybe San Diego isn't as sophisticated as your poetry, but a city without charisma? C'mon! You don't have to be a booster, but you shouldn't be a buzzkill. Sugar, Rae. You live here! Do you leave your house?
That was my first reaction when a local writer shared Armantrout's backhanded compliments about San Diego on
Since you're still reading, I'll assume you don't share her reluctance.
Cameron Hughes wrote: "I am going to perform Harakiri for liking my city with its beautiful beaches, stuff to do and see, and nice people."
Tom Mitchell chimed in: "As a transplant, I understand what she's saying. I disagree on it being a blank city, however, just a city in progress."
Susan Myrland's take? "If there's any $ left in the lily pond repair fund after they fix it, that should go toward moving expenses for Rae Armantrout."
Thinking maybe it's a poet thing, I emailed Marilyn Chin, an award-winning poet from Portland, Ore., who teaches at San Diego State University.
"I live in San Diego for about six months a year, teach hard for those six months, then come January, I can't wait to escape and live and write elsewhere," she wrote. "I am happiest in perpetual motion. I love the diversity of San Diego — I have my fave places to get everything from bimbimbap to baba ghanoush to barbecued fish tacos — but what can I say, I am not totally happy here. I am always flying away. I am happiest in the air."
The thing is, Armantrout, 65, grew up in Allied Gardens. After stints in Berkeley and San Francisco, where she pursued poetry, she has spent the past 27 years in Normal Heights and taught at UC San Diego for nearly as long.
In other words, she's a local. In other words, she should know better.
Historically, she guessed, about half of her students are locals, too. Fall classes haven't started yet, so she has no way of knowing how or even if they'll react to her reflections on the place where they chose to live — reflections like this one: "I don't think teenagers are saying to themselves, as they try to fall asleep, 'Someday I'll be in San Diego, you just wait.' "
Try telling that to someone pursuing a career in science at your school, or someone who's been turned away.
"I like San Diego," she told me. "Maybe that didn't come across enough."
The blankness of this town? No, it didn't.
You said the music scene didn't "blow up big" when it actually spawned blink-182, Switchfoot, P.O.D., Jason Mraz and a host of other acts with national tours to their credit. Then you made fun of our street-spanning neighborhood signs, which I and others see as symbols of a colorful community canvas — not markers that there's "no here here" and we're trying to fix that.
When we discussed the signs, I understood her point but not her disdain: "Try to imagine you're in New York, you're in Greenwich Village, and there's a big sign that says, 'Greenwich Village.' Is that ever going to happen? And then ask yourself why that won't happen. You know what I mean. The more real it is, the less you need a sign."
Armantrout said her piece was meant to be personal, funny, ambivalent, "a snapshot of my psyche as much as the city," a suggestion that in sunny, spacious San Diego, "Things are almost about to happen all the time."
She didn't apologize, but she did acknowledge that aspiring teenage scientists might dream of being in San Diego. Surfers, too.
"Don't make it sound like I hate San Diego, because I don't hate San Diego," she said. "It's not like there's all this venomous hatred that I was holding back. I know people who hate San Diego, but they've left."
By way of explanation, she said charismatic people are irritating, too. She said her feelings about the city have evolved since childhood. She said they're complicated, like her piece.
And she said they have been shored up by people's reaction to it.
"This very sensitivity that apparently is showing up on Twitter is kind of a symptom of that inferiority complex," she said. In Chicago, "people wouldn't care." In New York, "they'd go, 'Look at you, you're stupid.' "
San Diego does come up short in comparison to our nation's actual finest cities. We're not New York, Chicago or San Francisco. Never will be. Our city still offers plenty: outdoor activity, microbrews, art, science, border culture, fish tacos. I think Armantrout's piece missed the mark. She doesn't.
"I'm happy with the piece," she said. "I might regret publishing it. I might regret having done it at all, but I think if I was going to do it at all, that's the way I had to do it.
"I don't think my trying to turn into some kind of travel writer or some kind of booster for the city would have worked. It just wouldn't have been an interesting piece of writing. Nobody would have been talking about it at all. And I really don't think it was a put-down either. What I was going for is that it would have some complexity and some nuance."
I understand complexity and nuance. I often aim for it myself. But this was an essay about a special place that didn't seem so special.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I would have done better. And since I'm a columnist criticizing a poet for writing the column that she wrote, I will do better in a poem. Here's a haiku for you, San Diego.
Waves, clouds ever break-/
ing. The arts, the great outdoors/
There for the taking.

>>>full team
FLORENCE, S.C. – Junior designated player Haley Burnett (Columbus, Ga.) led three Georgia College softball (14-33) players on the All-Peach Belt Conference (PBC) teams announced Thursday night.
Burnett was a first team selection at designated player, joining GC's second team choices, junior catcher Anna Parker (Columbus, Ga.) and freshman outfielder Whitney Okvist (Kennesaw, Ga.).
Burnett is hitting .405 on the season, smashing nine home runs with 37 RBI and slugging .661. She ranks seventh in the PBC in batting average, fifth in slugging, first in on-base percentage (.535), sixth in RBI, sixth in home runs, 10th in total bases (80) and second in walks (33). This is her second time being chosen for the All-PBC list after earning second team honors at first base in 2010.
Parker is hitting .345 with seven home runs and 29 RBI on the 2011 campaign. She is seventh in slugging (.612), fourth in on-base percentage (.503), ninth in home runs and first in walks (37) in the PBC. Parker was a second-team catcher honoree in 2009 as well.
Okvist has been a catalyst at the top of the order for GC, hitting .348 with 37 runs and 24 stolen bases. She ranks 15th in the PBC in batting average, ninth in runs, eighth in hits (57), first in triples (6) and second in stolen bases. Okvist is the first freshman named to the All-PBC list for Georgia College since Mandy Chandler (2006-09) in 2006.
The trio gives GC 32 All-PBC honorees all-time. Okvist is the seventh outfielder, giving the Bobcats a slot in the outfield for the past four seasons. Parker is the first catcher to take the honor twice in the history of GC softball, while Burnett is the first DP to win an all-conference award in school history.
The Bobcats start play in the PBC Tournament today, April 14 at 1:30 p.m., taking on Columbus State University (36-14) in Florence, S.C.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at www.twitter.com/BobcatSports and www.facebook.com/gcbobcats for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GC Athletics Hall of Fame.

Cowboys, cattle and saloons: located just a 30-minute drive west of Dallas, Fort Worth is everything one imagines Texas to be. In the 19th century, the Fort Worth Stockyards - an enormous livestock market - were at the very centre of town. The cows have long gone but the area still thrives. The neighbourhood with its traditional warehouses and market halls is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.
In 1976, the Stockyards were made into a historic district. The 46 original buildings now house mostly entertainment and shopping venues with a taste of the Wild West. In addition to bars and discos you will also find an 'opry' (a country music stage) and a rodeo. Fort Worth carries its 'Cowtown' image with great pride.
In the 19th century, Fort Worth was the last stop where cowboys were able to rest and stock up on supplies before entering the hostile Indian territory. Over time, the cattle trade grew into a major economic activity: between 1866 and 1890 alone around 4 million cows were traded here. Fort Worth became known for its nickname 'Cowtown'. In the wake of the booming trade came a lively nightlife scene: Hell's Half Acre, a rough and tumble entertainment district, quickly developed a reputation throughout the Wild West.
The glory days of the Stockyards came with the inauguration of the railway network in 1876. Fort Worth was the largest junction of the American cattle trade and the number of cattle transported by train increased enormously. However, with the paving of roads and expansion of the highway systems, transport trucks soon took over, providing a more flexible and cheaper alternative to the trains. This was the beginning of the end for the Stockyards. In 1976, the Fort Worth Stockyards were declared a National Historic District to preserve this special area. Today, it is one of the most popular destinations for a day trip from Dallas.

"GR34 – Pointe de la Vicomté" GC1Q0VM GEOCACHE OF THE WEEK – 8/23/2010
This Geocache of the Week was chosen from the video monitor in the lobby of Groundspeak Headquarters. The monitor randomly selects a geocacher's log, in real-time, every thirty seconds.
The map zooms to the location of the cache that was logged. Geocacher CASTINE logged the find as I stood in the lobby of Groundspeak's Headquarters 4900 miles (7886 km) away. GR34 – Pointe de la Vicomte (GC1Q0VM) is located in Saint Malo, France. Watch the video below to see the selection.
Geocachers describe the location of the cache as a mix of history and nature. The geocache is rated a difficulty 1.5 and a terrain 1.5. Gdugardon hide the cache in April of 2009 along the GR34. The "GR" stands for Grande Randonnée, translating to Grand Walk.
The GR34 is a walking path that skirts the coast of France. It was created in the late 1700s to guard against smuggling. In modern times, more than 100 geocachers have discovered this view thanks to GR34 – Pointe de la Vicomte.

Ah that explains how the fire was able to jump floors. Ok, next question is who manufactured a very flammable and unsafe building material & who at the building materials regulatory body approved it(which being in Europe we know this is a huge, well funded agency).
And if it was unapproved who broke the rules and installed it, and which building inspector missed it. We are talking about 80 dead here.

I am trying to keep up with this story out of Missouri regarding the state's implementation of portions of the federal Real ID Act and the impact on Second Amendment rights.
According to Lt. Governor Peter Kinder, Eric Griffin went to his Department of Motor Vehicles fee office after he passed the application process for a concealed carry gun permit. Griffin refused to let DMV employees scan some of his documentation and he was subsequently denied a permit.

Now Missouri has a REAL problem on it's hands. Many people, unaware of the many negative implications of the Real ID Act, might not gripe when they they run into new procedures at the DMV as a result of it but get between the Missourian and his gun rights-and watch out!

Dept. of Revenue] told the committee they now require documents from state residents, including conceal-carry endorsements, to be scanned into a computer system as part of an effort to cut down on fraud. http://www.kcur.org/post/mo-dept-revenue-were-not-sending-copies-citizens-documents-dc-0
The Dept. of Revenue will not admit that they are implementing the technical tenants of the Real ID Act, they may not even know that they are. Here is why. The Dept. of Homeland Security and AAMVA, (the American Association of Motor Vehicles) which has set motor vehicle associated and licensing standards for the states for decades, agreed to roll the Real ID Act requirement into AAMVA's North American Standards for Driver's Licenses and ID cards (2012)
"In addition, DHS has worked with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) to coordinate state implementation of the standards of the REAL ID regulation. In particular, DHS participated with the states in the drafting of the Personal Identification – AAMVA North American Standard – DL/ID Card Design (July 2009) . . .the design must meet or exceed REAL ID requirements."
Department of Homeland Security,Secure Identification State Progress Fiscal Year 2012 Report to Congress
"AAMVA (the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators) is called the "backbone" and hub" of the Real ID Act in the final rules issued by DHS" Mark Lerner, testimony before the Michigan House of Representatives, 2008
The state bureaucrats will tell you that they aren't implementing Real ID, they are just following 'best practices' as they have always done.
Anxious and frustrated Missourians might find it interesting to compare notes and see how Oklahoma is continuing to implement the provisions of the Real ID Act despite it being prohibited by law.
Now Missouri lawmakers want to know where is the personal information (including biometric data) of citizens going and why? But instead of a straight answer, lawmakers are running into a whole lot of obfuscation and misdirects from the Dept. of Revenue and this is making them hopping mad.
March 13, 2013
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMOX/MDN) – Earlier this week, KMOX told you about allegations that the state was creating a database of gun owners.
Now, Missouri lawmakers say the Department of Revenue lied about that and is breaking the law, because they're collecting certain personal information from everyone.
Missouri senators spoke out in the chamber Wednesday.
Senate Appropriations chairman Kurt Schaefer said the department has lied to him three times now.
"This marks the third time I've been lied to in two weeks," announced Schaefer.
The department first told Schaefer it received a grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that was not related to the gathering of information at license offices.
Later, the department told him the grant was used for hole punchers to void old licenses. The hole punchers were bought at 138 bucks a pop.
In a later hearing, the department then said the grant was used for gathering information at license offices, leaving Schaefer furious.
If the people of Missouri do not insist on getting to the bottom of all of this they run the risk of either political muscle silencing the lawmakers that are currently demanding answers or that they will eventually becoming so baffled by BS, that they give up. Stay with it 'Show Me' state!

Be inspired.Joined: 04 Oct 2003Posts: 1322Location: Fountain Valley, California (USA) Posted: Sat Nov 13, 2004 9:36 pm Post subject: Moving Thoughts Moving Thoughts Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lives for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Why We Created This System.
We've spent years creating a copyrighted job changing system that makes job hunting a lot easier at all income levels. Developed over years of private work with 20,000 job seekers worldwide, it took an investment of millions of dollars.
Previously, our author's books on job hunting were used by millions of people. But job hunting is increasingly difficult because 30,000,000 resumes are now circulated all the time.
Clearly some bold new ideas in this field are long overdue. Far too many talented people remain with no excess cash, little security and blocked from further growth.
So we focused on developing a system that was easier and faster, and which could help people avoid wasting time in dead-end situations.
We knew that if the struggle and frustration of job hunting could be largely reduced, a lot more people would succeed at making career moves.
Our Easier Way to Change Jobs System now equips you with the following.
- (1) New, easier and faster ways to get interviews.
- (2) New style resumes with much more impact, and which are easy to copy or adapt.
- (3) Proven power letters for all situations that you can easily copy.
- (4) What people need to do, to be in the top 5 % at competitive interviewing.
- (5) Solutions for dealing with unemployment, age concerns and many other issues.
Now this system is very simple, and lets you job hunt with far less stress. You'll avoid scattering average materials, you'll know what works best and your confidence will be higher than ever.
What does this require? You'll have to follow the key parts that relate to you, put your old approaches aside and keep an open mind. But do these and a better life can be at your fingertips.
So, if you're serious about getting a better job, here's what you should do. Look over our system. Highly affordable, it is a great value and has a 30-day preview and money back guarantee.

Last Thursday morning, as I walked my class in to the school, I tripped and fell on the sidewalk. It was one of those slow-motion knee, to hip, to elbow falls that took forever to finish. I found myself lying on my side, on the walkway, the blue sky above and morning noises all around me. As I lay there, I couldn't help thinking "Oh my God! How many people just saw that?" I wanted to disappear!
As I shook my head in disbelief (I have just FALLEN!) and tried to hoist myself back up, my students all of a sudden surrounded me, like a wall. It was like they were protecting me from the others - the other kids, the parents, the teachers! One of the boys stood in front of me, set his feet firmly apart, and extended his hands to me, saying, "OK miss, venga. Párese... yo la ayudo." (OK miss, come on now. Stand up... I'll help you.) He actually stood firmly enough that I was able to lift myself up with his help.
The rest of the children were soooo quiet.The girls brushed me off, and the boys scattered to collect my things which had landed all over the place. My books and papers had flown out of my book bag, my yogurt had splattered all over the walkway. No one said a word!
We walked in like we always do, but the boy that had helped me up, kept his hand on my elbow as we took the steps to the 2nd floor and in to our classroom. The kids were all still so quiet. All morning, through math, then word work and writing, they were really quiet. Every now and then they'd ask again if I was OK.
Later on, as we started reading, they were still somber. I had to snap them out of it! I said "Hey guys! Remember when I fell this morning? Wasn't that hi-LA-rious? Ha ha ha ha haha ha haha!!!!!!!" I laughed at the visual I conjured up, of my shocked self laying on the sidewalk. And then, like dominoes, a chuckle spread though the room, turning into full-out belly laughs.
I thought all day about how my kids reacted to the incident, how they remained respectful, and how they showed me their concern. They seemed worried all morning, until I got them to laugh about it! I'll never forget how protected and loved I felt; my students stood by me and looked after me.
It's gratifying to know that in the two months we've been together, my students and I have developed a relationship that allows us to care for each other and laugh together. And I salute their parents for the fine job they've done so far in raising kind children.

Autopsy: Belcher's blood-alcohol level was .17 when he shot Perkins
Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher was legally drunk when he killed his girlfriend at their home and then himself outside the team's Arrowhead Stadium practice facility, according to autopsy results released today.
The results show Belcher's blood-alcohol level was .17 when he died, about five hours after police found him sleeping in his Bentley in front of his secret girlfriend's apartment. That alcohol level is more than twice the legal driving limit.
The autopsy results for his live-in girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, showed virtually no trace of alcohol. Both autopsies showed no presence of illegal drugs.
Perkins' autopsy showed she died from nine gunshot wounds, including one where the shot was fired at close range to the outside of her right hand, which could indicate she was trying to shield herself from the gunfire, according to a medical expert.
Four of her wounds displayed upward paths, possibly indicating she was on the floor when those shots were fired since Belcher was nearly a foot taller than Perkins, the expert said. Those wounds struck her neck, chest, hip and back. Police previously had said one bullet went through the floor under Perkins' body, another indication that she was on the floor when some of the shots were fired.
Bullets perforated her liver, kidney, and spleen and struck and traveled through parts of her backbone.
Belcher's fatal injuries were simpler: a single bullet wound to the right temple. The medical examiner also noted numerous scars to his body, mostly on his arms and legs, possibly from his work in the National Football League.
Belcher's blood-alcohol level at his death indicates his level could have been .22 or higher when officers encountered him in his car. Police generally assume a person eliminates about .01 of alcohol per hour, which is a conservative estimate.
The police case file, released last month, detailed Belcher and Perkins' problems as a couple, how Belcher's mother and the Chiefs tried to help them, and Belcher's activities before the killings.
According to police:
The events began at 8:30 p.m. Nov. 30, when Belcher drove to his secret girlfriend's apartment in the 700 block of Armour Boulevard while Perkins attended a concert downtown with friends. Belcher and his paramour drank and played cards, and Belcher agreed to accompany her and her friends to a Power & Light District club at 10:30 p.m. They left the district about 12:45 a.m. and kissed goodbye in the parking lot of her building.
Around 1 a.m., a friend of Perkins has told The Star, the couple argued about Perkins being out late. The friend never specified whether that encounter was in person or by telephone. The police report doesn't mention this dispute, instead indicating that after his secret girlfriend went inside, Belcher fell asleep in his car.
Police roused him two hours later after someone called 911 to report his Bentley as suspicious. Officers noted the car was running and legally parked. They said Belcher "initially displayed possible signs of being under the influence (asleep and disoriented)," but after a few minutes of being awake, his demeanor and communication "became more fluid and coherent." The officers and their sergeant could not smell any alcohol on his breath or person.
Belcher tried to call his secret girlfriend but could not reach her. He then knocked on a neighbor's door. The two women inside said Belcher "appeared to be intoxicated." After he told them his friend wouldn't come to her door, they invited him inside to wait. He talked about his past and they said he "seemed to be in good spirits laughing, joking." He thanked them for letting him in their home. At 4:30 a.m., they gave him a pillow and blanket and he slept on the couch. He left at 6:45 a.m.
When Belcher arrived at the home he shared with Perkins in the 5400 block of Crystal Avenue, an argument broke out with Perkins. Shepherd overheard the shouting but didn't intervene because Perkins previously had accused her of "interfering."
After Shepherd heard gunshots, she ran to the bedroom and saw Belcher kneeling next to Perkins, saying he was sorry. He kissed Perkins, his daughter and his mother and repeatedly apologized. He backed his Bentley out of the driveway, got out, pulled off his sweatshirt and threw it in some bushes. He then drove to Arrowhead.
On the way, he apparently broke off the car's rear-view mirror. Police later noted shattered glass on the dashboard and front passenger seat and the broken mirror resting on the seat. Police also saw blood on the gear shift and noted that Belcher's body had cuts and blood on his right index and ring fingers. The autopsy also noted the wounds to his right hand.
Once at Arrowhead, Belcher encountered Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli.
"I'm sorry, Scott," he said. "I've done a bad thing to my girlfriend already. I want to talk with (linebackers coach Gary) Gibbs and Romeo."
Pioli then called the coaches to the parking lot. A security guard tried to stop them, but the coaches insisted. Despite their pleas for Belcher to put down the gun, Belcher only briefly lowered the Beretta .40-caliber handgun to chamber a round. He then walked away.
Crennel raised both his hands, pleading with Belcher to put the gun down. "You're taking the easy way out!" Crennel yelled.
Belcher glanced at an approaching police officer, knelt behind a minivan, made the sign of the cross on his chest with his left hand and fired a bullet into his head above his right ear. Crennel slumped, dropped his hands and turned away from Belcher.

The Lübeck Cathedral (German: Dom zu Lübeck, or colloquially Lübecker Dom) is a large brick Lutheran cathedral in Lübeck, Germany and part of Lübeck's world heritage. It was started in 1173 by Henry the Lion as a cathedral for the Bishop of Lübeck. It was partly destroyed in a bombing raid in World War II (1942), and later reconstructed. The organ by Arp Schnitger was lost in the fire. The current church was finished in 1982. The panorama was taken during one of the so-called "Dom by night" activities, where music meets worship and meditation, accompanied by special light and shadow effect which accentuate the gothic structure. [Excerpts taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lübeck_Cathedral]
Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
