Wade Belak Found Dead
Kent Wilson
August 31 2011 03:43PM
Ex-Flame and Leaf enforcer Wade Belak was reportedly found dead in his Toronto condo this afternoon. The 35-year old recently retired from hockey.
Belak's death marks the third tragic passing of an NHL tough guy this summer after Derek Boogaard and Rick Rypien. The cause of his death has yet to be reported, but whatever it is, this has truly been one of the saddest offseasons in NHL memory.
More to come as details emerge. For now, sincere condolences to Belak's friends and family.
Is the leagues weak waterered down substance abuse recognition and treatment plan a contributor to any of these 3 tradgedies this summer ? This didn't seem to be a big problem with toughs like Semenko's , Ferguson's , etc .. Even the middle toughs could be next to follow - like Rypien ,etc.. Coincidental , or a matter of measureable coincidences .

An absolute tragedy.
As a former soldier, who has lost many friends to suicide, who has seen men I respect more than any other suffer from PTSD or loss of limb, and to be brutally honest once not too long ago, after retiring, contemplated it myself, I caution against the media and others trying to "link" their deaths to some root cause, its never that simple.
For all the friends I have lost, both by accident and by their own hands over the decades, even though we were all soldiers, I would never think to trivialize their personal issues by blaming one root issue.
If we stand back a second, and look beyond the grief, they really are not related or a symptom of a bigger issue that people are already pointing at.
My personal belief is this is nothing more than a tragic and horrible consequence. That to paint it as a symptom of something bigger is in my point of veiw a bit demeaning to those involved.
Derek Boogard from self-medicating due to an ongoing shoulder injury. There has been not one single fact based report of signs of malaise or depression. There has not been a single factual report of his death being anything other than a tragic accident due to abusing subtances.
Rick Rypien had an ongoing and well documented history of depression, a disease that afflicts a much higher percentage of the population than people would like to admit. In his case there has yet to be any factual basis that his depression was caused by his career. We know nothing of his past, his youth, or relationships, where depression usually starts.
Wade Belak, it hasnt even been confirmed he took his own life, for all anyone knows at this point, it could have been an aneurism or cardiac arrest. But assuming it was suicide, it is a huge jump to assume his career was behind it. There may have been family issues, there may have been relationship issues, hell...maybe he blew all his money and was broke, the fact is we will never know the root cause other than heresay.
Other than how they earned their money, I do not see anything to perpetuate the theory that this is about fighting or concussions. In the same time period there have been over 11,000 suicides in Canada and the US(32,000 annually). I have no doubt they all seemed similar to some degree, but at their core, they were all horribly unique to each individual and should be recognised as such.
This is simply the tragic and horrible loss of three young men who were in the public eye, who by all reports loved their careers, and who are now gone for reasons we will never truly know. Lets respect them as individuals and not as a group of troubled "Tough Guys"
September 01 2011, 10:40AM
I think we will all wonder the cause of this incredible, tragic event. What makes a seemingly decent guy, who hours before was hugging people at the pub, decide to hang himself. What demons were in his mind, controlling his thoughts, when he ended it all...
It's as eerie as it is sad...
I think the quotes below from Brad May sum up the human side of this tragedy. And it's more a families tragedy, than a hockey tragedy:
Former Toronto Maple Leaf and SportsNet hockey analyst Brad May recently spent time with Belak as they both trained to compete in Battle of the Blades.
He spoke on SportsNet shortly after the news broke.
"I'm sick and I'm sad about Wade Belak. A phenomenal guy. It was so neat because we're doing this Battle of the Blades together with a number of other players and incredible figure skaters, and Wade was going to skate for a charity that supported a foundation for one of his daughters. He talked to us the other day about his children - his two daughters - and his wife, how excited they were about this. And how much - 'cause we talked about our kids - how much he loved them. I'm sick about it," said May.
I'm sick about it, too. As a married guy, parent of 4. And I didn't even know Wade Belak.
@ Old Soldier - Well said.
September 01 2011, 10:40AM
Is it better for these players to be in the NHL earning an NHL paycheck and going through their personal physical and mental struggles as opposed to earning a living in the minors or outside of hockey?
Mark Spector actually wrote an article in line with that topic.
You can read it here.
It's a good article. I liked it a lot.
@Matt Henderson
The thing with Spector, just like the Rypien situation, he is the first guy to turn this in to a discussion on fighting in hockey, and feels the need to defend it before anyone has actually thought to bring up the point that fighting should be banned. It's like these things happen and his first thought is, " I better defend fighting"
His point is that fighting and their role in hockey has nothing to do with their deaths. He assumes that if they did any other job they would committ suicide just the same. To me he does a disservice to the players and the families of those who lost someone.
Sure the attention on mental health is brought to everyones attention because they are famous, which is always a good thing ( to bring awareness). But that would be like saying lets kill an animal on tv to bring awareness to animal welfare. We should be striving to avoid these situations before they happen, and not turning them into a political issue in regards to fighting, like Spector does.
September 01 2011, 11:35AM
dont forget that even NHL tough guys dont set out to be tough guys. These are guys who up till junior and beyond, are still heads and tails better hockey players than 98% of other players out there. The NHL roster is a very very small employer. These guys do whatever it takes to be relevant enough to make the show - including fighting, or being a clown/aggitator.
I dont think anyone should question their mental fitness just by the virtue of their "willingness to inflict pain". The bigger question - and im glad it's getting a lot of talk today, is what can be done to help these guys transition from rockstar life to normal life. Being waived and unclaimed must be the most awful feeling ever, for someone who's always been among the best of the best.
Thats a great point, re: being waived. On all accounts you've about his interviews etc, he seemed happy. But i did notice a trend, for example in his talking about the battle of the blades and his new job with Nashville. He says, "hopefully it will help the transistion to life after hockey" In the national post article specifically, (the link is somewhere above) His choice of words kind of hint at a lot of doubt. So he might have seemed happy, but the transistion and fears of that life after hockey, may have been eating at him. A forced retirement is never the way anyone wants to go out. And when you go from a room full of teamates and friends, cameras and daily interviews to being left alone with your thoughts, it can quickly turn dangerous.
September 01 2011, 11:46AM
Yup - I would imagine that the first year or maybe even longer would be critical to keep these guys on a "watch list". Justin Bourne has written an excellent blog today on that very topic - Kent appologies in advance if posting links to other blogs is a no-no
September 01 2011, 11:55AM
"He assumes that if they did any other job they would committ suicide just the same."
I'd rather assume that than push mental health problems under the rug and blame fighting. I dont see the disservice of saying that there's more here than his job as a fighter. He challenges the idea that IF fighting is the cause that "the program" can save it, and he challenges the idea that fighting is the cause.
There have been 3 deaths this summer. 1 OD, 1 confirmed Suicide from a clinically depressed man, and 1 suspected suicide from seemingly the happiest guy in town.
They are all three very different, and linking the first thing that they have in common to their deaths is an over simplification.
"His point is that fighting and their role in hockey has nothing to do with their deaths."
I dont see that at all in the article. What I do see is the point that simply cutting out their jobs in the NHL wont fix the actual root causes of their mental anguish, but it will cut out their access to top notch treatment.
From my own dealings with people who suffer from addiction and depression, I like to see someone who challenges the quick and easy explanation or solution.
@Matt Henderson
I found his article re Rypien to be more defensive of hockey fighting. But the insinuation that all three players had mental health issues outside of hockey, is an assumption, and in my opinion, is Spector trying to defend fighting.
The last 4 hockey deaths, including Probert were all connected throught their role on their hockey teams. But science has yet to tell us this is the cause to their mental anguish. I'm not trying to say fighting is the cause, my point (probably poorly explained) is that the topic of fighting should not be politicalized one way or the other. Just focus on the guy and his family. We should be deflect attention away from his employment just for the sake of it. Atleast with Rypien we know for sure his mental health was an issue when he came into the league, so we know that being employed as a tough guy did not create his difficulties.
Please don't take my argument as a pro-fighting argument. I would just prefer if the hockey "know-it-alls" of the sportsnet blog world took the hockey out of the equation when talking about these deaths.
In relation to my comment on the disservice to the family members. I would be upset if the first article I read online said my brother had problems before and if he had become an accountant the same thing would have happened. I interpret this as Spector saying his role didn't impact his mental health, but atleast he had access to the NHL's treatment programs. (Did Belak ever use these treatment services? I don't recall one way or the other).
Just my thoughts. Just feels that when Spector writes on such topics he is trying to ram his opinions down our throats, for the sake of doing so.
Thx for the link, quite insightful.
September 01 2011, 01:36PM
Yeah, but that's Spector's job. His opinion is what he gets paid to write.
@Matt Henderson
Fair enough, I try not to read his stuff, especially on particularly sensitive issues, as he is not very tactful. But occasionally i think to myself, " I wonder what that idiot is saying now" I guess to torture myself.
Anyway, back to topic. It does sound like the NHL could be doing a bit more to assist these players through transistion to retirement, but it does ultimately come down to whether these guys step forward to admit their health problems or stay silent. I suppose if you got "flagged" as someone who use the substance abuse programs etc, then the NHL could have someone contact you more regularly. But in this case I'm not sure if Belak did infact use any of these programs.
September 01 2011, 01:55PM
One comment that I did hear in an interview with Georges Laraque was about the difficulty transitioning from hockey to the "real world", not just for the tough guys but all hockey players.
As it stands right now there is no program within the NHLPA for transitioning or retiring players.
This has to be a difficult thing for some. First the closeness and camraderie of teammates. Second the routine.....they go from a very rigid routine in their lives, dicatated by the game and instantly that is gone. Then there is the family considerations. As someone who spent a great deal of time away from home, it is a huge adjustment for everyone when you no longer travel. You can also argue that for some players, there could be a self-image issue "I used to be famous" and the depression and insecurity that can bring.
Given the money available at league and union level, what is wrong with having professionals that help with the transition and that could include mandatory sessions with a therapist or professionl
Before I retired from the military, I actually had to go through a program regarding the transition, and though it might sound silly and childish at the time, it actually helped a lot.

Looks like Belak's death has been confirmed as a suicide. Hung himself.
Such a tragedy, and reading the outpouring of emotions from all sorts of people makes it seem crazy. With people saying Belak seemed fine, albeit worried about the transition from hockey to non-hockey, and people talking about Belak's love for his children and wife, it seems like he still had so much to live for and so much going on for him.
At that point, it would have been hard for anyone to say, "Hey Wade, how are you really feeling? Are you okay?" Maybe he would've lied, maybe he wouldn't have. Maybe he was high/drunk when he committed suicide. So many questions but only one major thing to be said: this is a tragedy, and one that hopefully can teach others a lesson, perhaps get the ball rolling in the NHL to help these players more.
September 01 2011, 08:52PM
No worries ID. The comments are for discussion and if a link helps the conversation, then so be it.
Here's my own take on enforcers and potential risks. I got to dip into my University education and some left over text books for this one:
Finally got to read this article. Wow, there's no doubt these guys are under duress - the physical battle is one thing, but picture yourself going toe to toe, with 20000 screaming fans watching. In that respect you have to feel bad for our ole buddy Ivanans. ...then couple that with the physical damage a monster like Laraque (or MacIntyre) can do to you...pretty risky proposition. Being a pro athelete (or even semi-pro) really is a completely different life that most of us can not hope to understand. I've had former AHL'er buddies tell me nightmare stories of some of the mind games the coaches would play on them, or some of the punishment treatments their junior team would get if they lost a game etc. It's definitely not all glam and glitter.

Big Chief's Prep Preview: It's crunch time
by Deke Bellavia
posted Oct 19 2012 7:20AM
Week 8 of the prep football season is here, and for some teams it is time to shape up or they will be out of the playoffs. Remember the top 32 teams of each class make the playoffs. Seeds 1-16 host a playoff game, and seeds 17-32 go on the road in round #1.
One thing that comes to mind, and kind of gets under my skin, is how little the Louisiana Sports Writers are. Can you believe that going into the 8th week of the season that the 4A undefeated O.P. Walker Chargers are not ranked in the Class 4A top ten poll?
This is a classic example of writers voting along with other writers and it clearly shows that these writers are not doing the readers any justice. Sports writers are suppose to read, research and report. This is obviously not being done.
I don't want to hear, 'Oh it's just high school' or the always used 'I'm busy with other stuff.' I'll steal a line from Sean Payton here and say, 'Just do your job.' How can a yearly 4A playoff power that has a perfect record not be ranked? And to validate my point even more, the Chargers from the Westbank are currently #2 in the 4A power ratings.
Enough of me squawking on my soap box, let's get down to business. The game I will be at Friday night has the #4 ranked Loranger Wolves taking on rival Independence. These two teams reside in district 8-3A. Loranger has their best team in school history, while the Tigers are 5-2 with losses only to East Jefferson and West Feliciana.
Loranger Coach Sam Messina and Independence Coach Keith Carona were both longtime assistant coaches under legendary Independence Coach Charles Baglio Jr. Messina was Coach Bags' defensive coordinator, while Carona was the Tigers' offensive coordinator.
The Tigers went to the 3A Finals in 1997 and 1998... losing to Evangel both seasons. When Baglio retired back after the 2000 season, both Carona and Messina were the top two choices to replace Coach Bags.
Carona got the job and has been in charge since. Messina stayed at Indy for a while before landing the Loranger job. Both of these coaches know the game, and both hate like hell to lose! The winner of this game will have the inside track to win district 8-3A with the loser probably coming in second place.
Loranger is led by a salty defense and LSU commitment Jeryl Brazil. A former Independence player, Miguel Toefield, is the Wolves top offensive player. He transferred to Loranger after playing three years in Independence.
The Tigers are led on offense by their powerful RB Shannon Cage. Cage will make the oldest of old school football fans smile as he is a big physical runner like Ironhead, Mike Alstott and even the great Larry Csonka.
There are many story lines, and enough drama, here to make this game my game of the week. Up front things are all business-like and gentlemanly, but behind closed doors these two teams don't like each other. Oh man this is gonna be good!
Here are the rest of the game we will cover on the PFRU:
South Lafourche @ Central Lafourche
Covington @ Fontainebleau
Destrehan @ East St. John
East Ascension @ Catholic – B. R.
Mandeville @ Northshore
St. Paul's @ Ponchatoula

Skip to comments.When Law and Order Break Down: People Are Afraid Right Now. You Can See It In Their Faces.
Posted on 11/19/2012 7:51:07 PM PST by Kartographer
Cities from coast-to-coast are facing unprecedented budget deficits that have left government officials with no choice but to strip police forces to a bare minimum. We now regularly hear about new records being broken in the resulting crime waves that follow.
Law enforcement officials in Chicago, for example, have said that their city has deteriorated into a domestic war zone with gang violence leaving scores of people dead on a regular basis. Murder, rape, robbery and assault have skyrocketed in bankrupt Stockton, California, suggesting that local governments are quickly losing control.
In New Jersey, the city of Camden may soon be granted the dubious distinction of being the poorest and most violent city in America.
(Excerpt) Read more at shtfplan.com ...
Preppers' PING!!
Oh I am sure city hall could not find anything else to cut but Fire and Police...
uhhh huh.
Not buying that noise.
This may be of interest... from the comments:

Off Topic, but may be helpful
If you still have some preparedness items you are looking for, some sites are having special sales this Friday. In the past, Shelf Reliance and Emergency Essentials have had good sales on Black Friday. If you sign up on their website, they will email (beforehand) of their sale items.
Links for their websites below.
Here in NJ cops & firemen (and public works and everyone else) were sacrificed so that teachers working 180 days per year could get their 4% raises. A lot of teachers with less seniority were let go as well; good riddance.
Local governments are learning how to economize (in the same way we've been learning for 10 years)...
You nailed it. Whenever they want more of our money, more power, more control... They just threaten to cut police, fire, and/or education... I don't buy it either.
You can have some bullets, though ...
When it comes to education it's always busing or number of days a week and if that does not catch their attention they do a combo and throw in a few teachers for good measure.
They NEVER cut the people you'd never notice where gone.
I live 2 1/2 hours from the nearest city. Wouldn't live in one for any amount of pay. My nearest neighbor is half a mile away and I like it that way.
Obama's Amerika
I live in a very small, gated, group of houses. My security is very good around my house and I'm not fearful in my house. My shopping is on one street one block from me and I never leave that shopping street to venture elsewhere. I park close to entrances to buildings. I am aware of my surroundings.
However, I shop in an "upscale" grocery store (as opposed to Walmart), because it is safer than the crowded Walmart and one can always get a parking space close to the door of the upscale grocery. To put it bluntly, I am afraid of that Walmart parking lot and afraid of that store. I also cannot stand for 30 minutes try to check out of that Walmart. The upscale grocery starts another check out line if more than two people are in a line. I am paying more money but I know I am safer there and that is worth the extra money.
I do believe as every day goes by, people worry more about being safe outside and some worry about their safety even inside their house.
This is going to get worse especially in the cities and towns that have not controlled their spending and now they are broke as our national government is broke. Yes, they will lay off law enforcement and everything else they have to in order to keep city utilities and trash pick up running.
My tagline is my reply.
There IS no law and order anymore. Our elitist rulers blatantly break laws on a regular basis with impunity, and there are no consequences - no "checks and balances" anymore. All government is in collusion and is corrupt. Just look at all the "laws" being passed by states to give rights to "illegal aliens." This is the biggest oxymoron of all, and a dead giveaway that laws mean absolutely nothing in Amerika anymore.
Well its like the ole saying, they send one of yours to hospital, you send two of theirs to the morgue!
i have concerns about neighbors, thugs, and the government - not necessarily in that order.
at the same time they invent new laws to turn regular law-abiding folks into criminals for doing stuff that once was legal, in order to confiscate wealth and deprive people of gun rights when guns had nothing to do with it.
Law enforcement officials in Chicago, for example, have said that their city has deteriorated into a domestic war zone with gang violence leaving scores of people dead on a regular basis.
No evidence is presented that Chicago has cut its police forces. I don't think they have. The effect is therefore without the cause posited.
Never ever ever do the cuts reach the guy downtown that you never heard of, with the paneled office and the leather chair and the 200k salary...

Obama tried to save those jobs with temporary infusions of federal cash, but the layoffs went ahead anyway (both fed & state governments had run out of money anyway).
They are Obama's second-largest voting block (government workers, right behind permanently-unassimilated minorities).
It smells like a modified version of Fast & Furious.
I would advise anyone doing business of any kind in DE to get out and get out fast. The quicker this Socialist state collapses the better I like it.
I have lived here half my life (jobs) and now I want out. Buy my house and I am gone.
You can't put new wine in an old wineskin nor repair an old garment with new cloth. As long as we are full of ourselves, we have no room for God. We must get rid of the old to make room for the new.
All that is happening is a great emptying of ourselves to make room for God.
What you don't like the gay old time being had in Rehobeth?
Impoverishment will lead to desperation and anger, which in turn leads to nothing left to lose attitudes and a rise in violence and criminal activity.
Marcella —
Please permit me to offer this to you, because I infer you are on the edge of living in fear/ allowing others to restrict your life:
To NOT carry is to choose to be defenseless (non vehere est inermus)
Get licensed, get training, grow confidence, regain liberties they smirk at taking away from you.
After a while, perhaps three months or so, bringing your firearm with you, condition 1 (ready to fire), will be as natural and as comforting as grabbing your keys, cell phone and wallet/purse.
the hardest part is not learning to use a firearm safely and effectively, nor will it be getting over thinking EVERYONE knows you have one. The hardest part of "carrying" is developing the will to use it WHEN (and only if) NECESSARY. Self defense is a mindset more than a physical state.
REM: 99.9+% of licensed carriers NEVER draw their firearm in self-defense, but ALL feel more confident and capable.
I just really encourage you to consider coming over to the 'defended side'. It may look scary now, but it is very comforting when you get here.
People are afraid i think maybe that`s the first time i have actually seen someone post that.Thank you!!!
Wow i really liked what was said about the laws,and other subjects,i took the time to write that down,why do we have a border patrol?
I am not sure what you mean but you're welcome.
There is not enough money to go around....Our town recently got a grant for some social improvement crap. I asked the Mayor " HOW, HOW. The state doesn't have ANY money! How could you accept this?!!" He said, ' Well if WE didn't, some other town would have.' Totally clueless.
My shopping is on one street one block from me and I never leave that shopping street to venture elsewhere....Dear, I understand your post and I am NOT criticising you. But is this freedom? I arm myself and act so arrogant I beg to have someone confront me.
Look for more union actions to start popping.
Overwhelm the system.
I believe it's more like Obama emptying us to remake us in his image.
Cutting essential services to scare people into voting for higher taxes all the while not cutting the fat, the multiple layers of managers, or wateful spending on street flowers, etc.
From my point of view, the people can go to hell. they had a choice to make on November 6, 2012, and they made it. The majority voted to sell their souls for government freebies. They made theif bed. Let them sleep in it. For those such as myself who did not vote for the bastard, when it rains, it rains on the just as well as the unjust.
Marcella, with a few legally-binding exceptions, I don't go anywhere without my gun.
I've taken the classes, learned the laws and the rules, put in the range time, and gotten the permit.
I'm not a bad shot. People I love have said that I look quite competent handling all sorts of ordnance.
As the joke goes, What am I afraid of? — Absolutely nothing.
Every Constitutional Conservative should carry. When seconds count, the police are minutes away.
"I believe its more like Obama emptying us to remake us in his image."
Very true. That is the first phase of this process. You are 100% correct for most people. You can see by the election that they have already swallowed the pill!
But God is in control and can even use evil as part of His Divine Plan.
Chicago? Where have I heard of that city before? Oh, yeah, it's our very own Won Again's home. He led there just like he's leading the US. Look at Chicago to see the future of the US.
Lived her all this time and never been to Rehobeth. After growing up on the Gulf beaches in FL, everything else is a letdown.
Rehobeth is a "gay" place for sure.
Notice how a bureaucrat's pay NEVER get's lower?
I was just watching a DDP rerun where some idiot nailed a chicken's neck to a stump to hold it still for the hatchet. It made me sick to see how stupid that is. I guess most people have lost the art or wringing necks.
If anyone needs to know (who wouldn't); it's done by taking the chicken's head in your hand and making a sharp twisting flip movement. The neck snaps like James Bond silently taking out a SPECTRE minion. (Note: a dead yardbird may jump around for several minutes if you let go of it.)
"Notice how a bureaucrats pay NEVER gets lower?"
Yes; that is because as makers flee and takers infest a place, a higher government entity (county, state, or fed) steps in to make sure the politicians are paid even if the cops aren't.

Where I stayed
some super nice hotel
First, we went to a Hindu temple, just to look around. Jacob wanted us to see more of how praying and worshipping in the Hindu religion is like, but we really didn't get to see it, as there were only about 4 people there when we went. Either way, the place was beautiful, as all the Hindu temples I've seen are. After this, we got to go see the famous Abbi Falls of Coorg. This was an amazingly beautiful waterfall, deep into the woods of the mountainous area we were in. Oh yeah, and Coorg is not the actual town we were in (I'm not actually sure of that name), it is just the region of the state of Karnataka that we were in. This area is set into the mountain range of the Western Ghats, and is mainly woodland area, with much wildlife roaming freely throughout. So, Abbi Falls is located within as one of the most popular waterfall areas to visit. It was absolutely beautiful… the only thing that bothered me is that literally EVERYONE wanted photos with us (and it was mainly men there). I don't mind taking photos every once in awhile, but here, we literally had to say no, or we would start a streak and everyone, even the people that weren't asking already, would have wanted a photo then.
So anyway, the next day we had to pack up and meet for another huge breakfast in the morning, and go back towards Bangalore. We first stopped at this elephant refuge place, where they took in elephants from either circuses or the wild that were unable to thrive on their own. They give them a place to live freely, feed them, bathe them in the river, etc. So, I got to see elephants for the first time in India!! It was crazy to be able to touch them; their skin is so different from ours. It was almost as if they were hundreds of years older because their skin was so much more wrinkled than my skin. Which I suppose makes sense, because of the terrain that they live in. But either way, I thought it was pretty crazy to finally be able to touch an elephant. We also got to ride the elephants. I was excited until I actually got onto it, and realized how painful it must be for the elephant to have six humans sitting on top of its back. I'm not sure how elephants normally walk… but it was walking so awkwardly, that I felt terrible that I was sitting on it. I am going to look up whether or not it hurts elephants to ride on a certain part of their back, and if so I'm not doing it again. It was a cool experience… but I just felt absolutely terrible for the elephant by the time we were done with our short ride around the park. When leaving this park, we had to back across a river, but instead of taking the boat, one of the other girls and I decided to walk across, because there were a ton of rocks, and a bunch of the Indians were doing it, so we figured we'd be able to make it. It took us probably at least 20 minutes to cross, as it was crowded and a lot more difficult than the Indians made it look. It was definitely worth it though, I loved trying to figure out which way to turn that would make it the easiest to stay on the rock path, and also almost fell in a few times. Thankfully I didn't though, as I had my camera and my phone on me.
After we left the elephant park, we headed closer to Mysore, and stopped at an area that was made into a town and a huge monastery for Tibetan refugees. The government of India has leased out miles of land to these Tibetans, and they built a town, and the monastery where Buddhist monks study and live. We spent a couple hours in the monastery, and it was by far one of the best religious places I have been to yet while in India. There were about four temples, all of which were exquisitely decorated and built. I was astonished by some of the architecture and all of the bright, vivid colors that designed the entire interior. I think it's amazing that although Tibet is technically under control of China, that there are so many Tibetans living so free here in India. I'm not sure how the Indians feel about it though, as it seems many of these Tibetan areas are very well-off financially. Although yes, they still strive to make a living by selling what they can and making handicrafts as one of the main ways to make money… the Tibetan monasteries that I have seen so far are definitely much more rich than much of other parts of India I have seen. I'll have to try speaking to some of my Indian friends soon about this aspect, to try to get their perspective of how they feel about all these Tibetan refugees in their country… especially when it comes to the foreign aid that they get as well… because it is and has been a much bigger international issue than the poor people living in the slums of India.
Anywho, I suppose I should tell you the reason why this blog is called what it's called. So, since this trip was coordinated by our school.... our program advisor, Jacob, was with us for the entirety of the trip as he planned it. He is seriously one of the coolest Indians I've met... he is such a nice guy... but he was getting on our nerves every time that he said "let's go, let's go, let's goooo!!" Haha, we would be running later than was scheduled all the time (mostly because of Jacob), and we'd all be sitting on the buses already or at least standing outside of them waiting for him, and he'd come yelling that. It's kinda funny, as we kept making fun of him the entire time for it, and screaming it at him too... but basically that's the gist of it... one of those "you'd have to have been there" type of stores. But, it still fit for the title of this post.
Not sure of anything else to talk about really about this trip... except that I had an awesome time, and can't wait to go back to be in the mountains again. I love the crisp, clean, cool air, and of course the views, compared to back home in Bangalore.
Until next time....
~We Only Part, to Meet Again~

Horrible SmellNowhere did it say that this stuff smells like coconut, and not just subtly, but full on jungle party! I stopped spritzing after one pump, and I REEK of coconut. It overpowers everything, including my perfume. I hate the smell. Hate it! This is going back!Feb 23, 2012Natalya / DCHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Did Not Work On My Wavy HairI expected it to give me soft beachy waves. I'm low-maintenance so I was hoping this spray would give me a break from having to use my curl & flat iron because if I do not use them, my waves look frizzy and bad. Sadly, this spray turned my hair frizzier and much drier... just horrible!!!! I am glad for those who worked which are surprisingly quite many but for me it did not.Feb 22, 2012Marian

It Works!I have very thin, baby fine oily hair. I wanted to minimize the styling products I use. I have gotten so many compliments on my hair, this stuff gives your hair the curly/wavy look that looks like you put so much effort into but it took me less than 5 minutes to do it.

My Bottle Was Defectedi've had this spray for about a week and i'm enjoying it. i have very straight hair that is impossible to curl. i use this spray before taking a curling iron to my hair, and it works great! i have curls that last for at least two days. i love the smell of this stuff-very coconut/salt-water smelling. it smells natural and authentic, not synthetic which i'm very sensitive to. only thing i can complain about it the bottle. this liquid in the bottle looks like oil and water, so it is necessary to vigorously shake the bottle to make the two liquids come together. when i shake my bottle, some product comes out onto my hands, even when the cap is securely on--there is obviously something defected about the bottle/top. otherwise, this product is great: smells awesome, and helps to hold curls in.Dec 12, 2011Kay / NyHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Oily Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

EhhhWas disappointed, to be quite honest. I was sick of straightening my hair every day or just throwing it up in a ponytail, so I was hoping this would make my naturally wavy hair air-dry in a more "uniformly-wavy" way. It hasn't quite given me the results I would like yet, but I'll keep using it because it SMELLS AMAZING.Oct 17, 2011JessaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Sea Salt Spraywhen I first tried this product it made my hair feel dry. I think its because my hair is thick & not as sleek as it should be. I just need to look for a GOOD conditioner to do the job before applying this product. It smells good though.Sep 28, 2011TrishaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair

Not Sure It's For Me, But I Can Tell Its Effect...I have fine, thin, long hair. I'd heard about these salt sprays and wanted to try one with high ratings. Well, the first time, I think I messed up - didn't spray enough or something? So the second time i tried it, i was more liberal and really shook my fingers through my hair afterward.
This is what I noticed on my type of hair - a little bit of salt spray will just make my hair look a little greasy and not so good looking. A good amount with a little time will really set in and look more like others describe (beach, swim sexy.) In fact, it wasn't until the next day, I noticed my hair suddenly looked much thicker and had a lot more texture. I'm not even sure if that is a good thing as far as the health of your hair, but it looked cool.
For me, I can't really wait a day without washing etc. unless I'm on vacation. but I can see where this product might work great with slightly fuller heads of hair. Not totally sold on it for fine and thin however.
The smell is nice though. I guess there's that.Sep 24, 2011KathyHAIR TYPEColor Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Scents Of Sun, Sand, And Surf Give You That Just-back-from-the-beach Tossled LookI love sea salt sprays. They work well with my shorter hair styles. I have thin dirty-blonde hair that's layered. The Sedu Beach Beauty Sea Salt Spray helps to accentuate this layering and gives my hair a messy look that smells similar to coconut. Women notice and I've received many complimentary smiles once they get close enough to get wind its fragrance. Another more masculine scent from an all-purpose shampoo/bodywash I recommend is Nordic Wood by PHILIP B. This smells of Norwegian spruce, balsam fir, white pine, cedarwood & camphor. I use it after swimming to get any impurities out of my hair and off of my skin. Nordic Wood definitely invigorates the senses and will certainly invigorate your mate's senses too. It's fragrance is milder than that of the Sedu Beach Beauty Sea Salt Spray. I've tried shampoos already with spearmint and peppermint or tea tree oil and they don't match the aromatic ingredients in Nordic Wood. And while I'm at it, the shave gel of my choice is American Crew's precision shave gel. It's lather goes a long way and it takes the burn out of shaving staunch whiskers.Sep 21, 2011MichaelHAIR TYPEBlonde / Fine or Thin Hair

Great For Curly HairThis is a life saver for humid weather. I tried for 2 years to straighten my curly hair. Finally I gave up and just gave it a light spray of Sedu every morning on dry hair and scrunched a bit. It dried in nice curls, never kinky and took any frizz away. Not to mention it smells great. Wonderful product.Aug 30, 2011Susan / Dunnellon, FloridaHAIR TYPECurly Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

A Godsend To My Hair!I'm just going to start by saying this product is a lifesaver for me when I do not feel like putting any heat on my hair which I do about 90% of the time. I have the type of hair where I either have to put heat on it (straighten, curl, etc.) or scrunch it with mousse which I didn't like doing very much (I'm not a fan of "hard" hair) all because my hair refuses to cooperate with me otherwise- until i found this product. It literally brought my limp waves back to life and it's also great for when I don't want to put the stress of heat on my locks plus, no hard hair! It even smells amazing and is totally worth every penny! I usually shower at night, spray this on my hair, section and twirl like the directions say, let it dry over night and voila! I wake up with amazing, sex-kitten waves. It's literally that good! Definitely recommend for that easy, beachy look.Aug 4, 2011Stephanie C.HAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair

My favorite part of teaching students like you is that you and your classmates bring along a variety of experiences to my classroom. I'm always amazed at your backgrounds, at the elements that you add to what I am trying to teach, and I enjoy that.
I also appreciate the interaction I have with students. I take that seriously. One of the things we focus on here at UDM is getting to know you, our students. I know the name of every student in my class. I can tell you something about every student in my class, and I value that.
I come from a non-traditional background. I didn't start out to be a professor at a university. I started at a community college and I worked my way through my undergraduate degree, through my graduate degrees and was successful in my profession.
I'm coming back here because I want to teach, because I want to make a contribution to the next generation of journalists. I've spent the last 10 years as a successful author, touring the country. I've written nationally-produced books. I'm here by choice. I'm here because I value what this University does and what it offers you. And I look forward to seeing you.

|In response to Re: water odor (rotten egg smell)- toddler drinking it?
Oh, I don't mean the baby would actually drink hot water. But she's exposed to lukewarm water from the faucet -- ex. both the hot and cold faucets are on. I put facecloths in the water, for washing her face. etc. However, what if, for instance, her oatmeal was too dry, and I added I got water from that faucet because it was closest. And over time, she'll brush her teeth at that faucet. So I'm just not sure if exposure to water from that faucet should be a concern??
: If the baby drinks the hot water, you could have a more serious problem than the hydrogen sulfide. I have been in areas of the country where hydrogen sulfide is in the water supply and those people thought it was the best water they have ever had.
: : Hello, all. I am hoping someone can help! Our upstairs bathroom sink sometimes smells like rotten eggs when we turn the hot water on. At one point, it was happening all the time. I haven't noticed much recently. I read in the post at http://terrylove.com/wwwboard/messages2/30698.html that this could be hydrogen sulfide gas and/or related to anode rod. I don't know much about those. My question is: could this be dangerous to our 8-month old baby, if she ingests that water? Or if we fix the problem, how costly would that be? Thanks so much--

What will happen next as they tumble into a bog and meet a greedy dragon?

Not so Peachy
By kblehman
from Michigan
About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Cytomax Performance Drink Mix - 4.5 lbs - Exclusive Flavors!:
I use Cytomax for my onboard drink while doing my road riding. Decided to try the Peach flavor since it was on sale, but was disappointed. The flavor is so obviously artificial that it was difficult to drink--I ended up returning the tub. Grape is still my favorite--cannot recommend the peach.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love Cytomax
By markroho
from Phoenix, AZ
I've used everything and Cytomax is my favorite, I love the different tastes and now keep two or three tubs/canisters in the pantry so I can mix it up; but most importantly it keeps me from cramping and gives me a noticable boost on hard rides!
Super for long rides and runs

So no matter where you are, home, office, traveling or in the car, you can power up you EVO 3D.EVO 3D Charger Isn't it frustrating when you run out of battery power? And it's funny how it usually happens when you need to make a critical phone call. The frustration does not have to continue. AccessoryGeeks has the remedy for this problem. The HTC EVO 3D charger! This little cell phone accessory, although may not be remembered as a mind blowing invention like the post-it, has definitely throttled telecommunication in a different direction. With a HTC EVO 3D charger, we no longer have to be plugged in to a wall to hop a on a phone call. With advances in telecommunication and cellular phones, the charger allows us to plug and go. Keeping our HTC EVO 3D battery powered up the EVO 3D charger enables us to roam freely while talking and plugging in anywhere that has a suitable socket. HTC EVO 3D Car Charger The HTC EVO 3D wall charger is great for charging at home, at the office, or even when you are traveling. The HTC EVO 3D charger has a compact design allows for you to transport it with ease and not a lot of hassle. The HTC EVO 3D wall charger and HTC EVO 3D car charger are both mini USB jacks and will also charge any other phone with the same type of jack. So if your family has a different phone with a mini USB port, they can utilize the same EVO 3D charger and you'd only have to bring one charger. Every HTC EVO 3D charger the Geeks have hand selected are top quality and lightweight so that you are not inconvenienced when traveling or carting it around from destination to destination. Some planes even have hook ups these days so that you can charge while you fly! There are Geeks here at our Geek Headquarters that are notorious for misplacing their chargers. Having a replacement HTC EVO 3D wall charger is the perfect idea for those of you who misplace your charger all the time. Or maybe you just don't want to keep bringing EVO 3D charger back and forth from home to the office? Some of the Geeks here have a charger at home, in the car, in the office, and an extra in the bag just in case. Find you HTC EVO 3D car charger and HTC EVO 3D wall charger at AccessoryGeeks.com today for a fraction of the price you'll find in stores. And with our free shipping offer, you are only paying for the cost of the product. It's a steal that you can't pass up! Purchase your HTC EVO 3D charger today and remember! You got it from A Geek! EVO 3D Charger Buyer's Guide Hey everybody. The guide geek here with AccessoryGeeks.com this time I'm bring you guys an overview of our HTC Evo 3D chargers. We got a lot of products available for HTC Evo 3D as you can see here the list that goes on and on and on so you got a definitely good selection of to look for anyone out there who wants an HTC Evo 3D charger. We will all start here from the top a popular model that people ask for all phones is a desktop charging cradle. This HTC Evo 3D Charger it basically you know cradle is it sits in— the phone sits in there and you can have the phone functional walls in there but it charges your phone so it is just easily slip it in there and you need to plug in any cables and it works just fine. It gives you that charging power definitely a good product there and very hard to find for some models so definitely pick that one up if you wanted you know to charge your phone at your desk and maybe have a clock sitting there or be able to look at things or maybe watch movies or anything like that while you are charging. We do have some of the original HTC Evo 3D chargers here. These models are straight from HTC we have the car and the charger or travel charger as it is officially called and you can have the USB port for it. So if you have the USB cable you can get that piece right there and you know if you have a spare one for it because I'm sure your phone came with it the first place, but moving on down we have a universal charging cable so this one is the USB you can plug into your computer and it has a port for the HTC Evo 3D, which is a micro USB charger so Micro USB is what you are looking for. And who knows when you have other Micro USB models down here for Sony Erickson. We have the Verizon on this which is out of stock right now and we have other ones. And don't be discouraged they say LUXMO or Motorola or anything like that because it doesn't matter who your manufacturer is as long as it is on this list for chargers you guys are good to go. We have tested them and you make sure they work. They are going to be compatible so don't worry about the name brand that is on there. Moving down a little, let's get to something more specific to many chargers. How about this PhoneSuit the Primo Power core Universal Rechargeable battery pack? I love this product. This HTC Evo 3D charger, it is really not a charger; it is more like it is an extra battery pack you basically plug in a USB to it. Plug it in to your phone to charge up your battery. It has 8200 milliamps that is roughly about four times what a little more than 4 times on what the HTC Evo 3D battery can carry, that is a lot. So I mean you could hold on to this thing for awhile and not have to worry about it. It is great for emergency situations. You could probably this would last you a couple of days if you are stranded somewhere and needed that battery power which is hopefully you know you don't get stranded anywhere but it would be there if you need it. I'm moving down and we have the Universal Battery charger, which are awesome. If you have a spare battery and you don't want to have to plug in to the phone and then take it out and plug a new one in this becomes a hassle. Get one of these, they are great and if you have LCD screens so you can take a look at the battery power, but basically you just plug the battery right in there, plug in the wall it will charge the battery itself so it is great for those that bare batteries. You have another model here, the universal cell phone battery travel charger. It works the same way. Just plug it up to the nodes, put them in there and I definitely get a charger out of that quicker than what if you switched it out. So yeah that is basically, our HTC Evo 3D Chargers, we have a good variety here from different manufacturers different types if you are looking for USB or travel car chargers or just back up batteries, we have a lot available there so remember, you got it from a geek. Take care.111013 HTC EVO 3D Car Charger

Just my way of sharing with family, friends, and anyone who will listen, the things that I have learned about my ancestors with a little bit about myself and my own little family in the mix.
Thursday, September 8, 2011
Thankful Thursday: I have never been so thankful as today to live on a hill.
4 comments:
May there be peace in the valley.ReplyDelete
Thanks Linda. Waters are starting to recede but it is going to take days for this to go down to pre-flood levels.ReplyDelete
I have spent a whole day worrying about my daughter who lives in Bradford County PA. Thankfully her town (Sayre PA) has a Facebook page and posted regular updates and pictures.ReplyDelete
She did not get flooded but the hospital where she works cancelled elective surgeries because of the flood. A few of her co-workers havd damage. I am hoping things will be geting back to normal. She also lives on higher ground in the town.
I am glad that your daughter is okay. I live in the Binghamton area and it may be awhile before things get back to normal. A lot of area businesses experienced flood damage and I think as of now portions of Rte 17 and 81 are still covered with water.ReplyDelete

By PHIL FAUVERGuest Writer
Commissioners in attendance were Gary Kofford presiding, Commissioner Jeff Horrocks. Absent commissioner Laurie Pitchforth was excused as she was out of town at a meeting.
Two requisitions were presented to the commission by the clerk auditor Brenda Tuttle and the commission approved. A requisition from James Nielson, Emery County Weed and Mosquito Department for two foggers for $18,217 and a requisition from the county attorney's office for a document sequencer for $1,950.
The commission awarded Lee Jeffs the contract to remove Russian olive trees from Swinging Bridge to Fuller's Bottom. His bid of $8,000 was the bid selected. The contract will set forth what Lee Jeffs will do and will indemnify the county.
The commissioners considered and approved a building permit waiver for reroofing the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Huntington Home and for construction of a fuel tank bunker being built by the Emery County Road Department.
Kris Bell, county assessor, asked the commissioners for an adjustment of Greene Properties' property tax. This is a building behind Work Force Services. The buildings had to be separated on different parcels and the code was entered wrong, which changed the property tax. This error was only discovered when Greene Properties received the tax notice. The adjustment was approved.
Tuttle, clerk/auditor presented and approval was given for a tentative budget for Emery County and Castle Valley Special Service District for the year 2010. The county revenue is about the same as last year, the biggest difference is mineral lease money that has come in this year that we will be able to spend next year. That money is budgeted as it comes in instead of anticipating what the amount might be. "We will get a little bit from property tax increases but interest revenue is down significantly," said Tuttle.
Manager Jacob Sharp presented the Castle Valley Special Service District tentative budget for the year 2010. This budget covers three different funds: the capital projects fund, the debt service fund and the general fund for operation and maintenance. He said, "We have budgeted for anticipated revenue from bond issues and grants in the amount of $1.82 million which we have submitted to the Community Impact Board for consideration this year. We will find out if the CIB will approve that amount at their Nov. 5 meeting. Our interest income saw a significant drop, so we only budgeted $10,000. The 2009 budget was $64,000 and we expect to only realize about $12,000 this year. Expected expenditures are for roads, curb, gutters, culinary water, sewer and drainage improvements.
"The debt service fund is used to pay existing bonds. Under property taxes we have budgeted for a little more than $2 million to pay for the retirement of bonds and interest on bonds. You will notice it is higher than in years past. The next three years will be the three highest years in taxes. As compared to what we have been used to as far as our debt service tax.
"This is a result of the 2003 bond for the new sewer lagoons in Ferron. The bond calls for the last three payments to be balloon payments over the next three years. Taxes will be higher to pay off these existing bonds. To learn more read the proposed bond election brochure that has been mailed to each resident of Emery County.
"The general fund is used for operation and maintenance. Maintenance expenditures will be budgeted for more money in 2010 due to the 2009 under budgeting of crack seal projects and the maintenance of water treatment plants. Another item budgeted will be wages and benefits. The Special Service District Board voted not to give a cost of living increase to employees. That change has not yet been budgeted. Our health care provider has agreed to make some changes to the health care plan to reduce costs. This means we will be able to keep the health insurance we now have with little or no increase.
"Road maintenance and chip seal is our biggest project every summer. We plan to do half of Huntington this year. We hope to do that project for less than the $700,000 budgeted. We now have about $117,000 in our appropriated fund. If we can reduce some of our expenditures, we won't have to rely on that emergency fund and just rely on property taxes and our mineral lease revenue."said Sharp.
This tentative budget was approved in the Oct. 15 Special Service District board meeting.
The commission approved the tentative budget for Castle Valley Special Service District for the year 2010. Out of state travel was approved for Norman Vuksinck, Bill Downard and Robert Blackburn.
The personnel director Mary Huntington requested and received approval of a 3 percent longevity pay lump sum adjustment retroactive from January for Mitch Vetere, Bob Blackburn, Les Reece, Gayle Jensen, John Burdick, and Gerry Hatch and 1.5 percent for Deborah Williams.
Approval was given to utilize Emery Medical Center for the annual wellness clinic for county employees. The cost will be the same as last year with a range from $172-$177 based on gender and age. The wellness clinic on Nov. 4-5 has helped to keep insurance costs down. Approval was given to authorize an additional four hours of paid vacation to employees who participate in the wellness clinic.
Approval was given for a 3 percent pay increase for Morgan Bell who has successfully completed her six month orientation period. This will go into effect Nov 1. Approval was given to appoint Mary Huntington and alternate David Blackwell to represent Emery County at the UCIP, (general liability insurance coverage), annual meeting Dec. 3, 2009.
Approval was given to promote Robert Riley from corrections officer I to patrol deputy I after successful completion of POST. This means moving him from a grade 15 to grade 16. This will go into effect Nov. 1.
Commissioner Reports:
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks attended the Castle Country Partners meeting in Moab Oct. 22 where most of the discussion was around TRT funds and why they were up or down in various counties. It was felt that the increased funds were coming from people traveling closer to home for vacations and not leaving the state as compared to the past. There were also discussions about the restaurant tax funding and where that money was being expended in different counties. The opinion by those in attendance was that the money was being spent where the statute requires.
Commissioner Horrocks attended a construction meeting at the Emery County Care Center. That project is moving along well. While grading for the road they found an old drainage system that came from the roof of the old building. The new building is looking nice and it will be great facility for the county.
Commissioner Gary Kofford reported he attended a pre-construction meeting with Nielson Construction on the Moore seven project. Nielson Construction started on that project Oct. 26. "We have some wetlands that we will have to do some mitigation on. The Army Corps of Engineers has given us a completion date of Oct. 31, which means that work has to be completed this week. We can ask for an extension, although Nielson's felt they could get through that project by Saturday.
"The signs are up and they anticipate doing most of the earth work this fall. The Goblin Valley phase II road using stimulus money is oiled about 2.2 miles. That asphalt is in place and it was completed Sunday afternoon. Nielsons have started and will complete phase III this fall. The special service district added a little portion to phase III for state parks. They are doing a spot by the gate for parking buses and cars.
"We held a meeting about Lila Canyon road and they have CIB approved money to make a $9 million project for the Lila Canyon road. Utah American Energy is in the process of refinancing and as soon as that is completed they will be ready to start the process on that road. Once they sign and we get the money from CIB, with bonds in place, we will advertise for bids on that road. We expect to start construction in the spring. We did put a couple of heaters in the airport hangar a week ago," said Commissioner Kofford.

(Update 07/17/2012: Added link to Pair Programming Matrix Google Doc)
(Update 08/06/2015: Fixed the Pair Programming Matrix Google Doc Link)
At Pivotal Labs we consider ourselves to be expert pair programmers, but sometimes even we need help. We identified (thanks to a retrospective) that we were being very unbalanced in our pairings: some developers seemed to pair with each other often while rarely paring with others. We wanted a lightweight means of enforcing balanced pairing. That's when someone remembered the pairing matrix.
A blog post titled "Pair Programming Matrix" inspired us to try our own pairing matrix. It's a grid with a cell intersecting each pair of developers. Here's a photo from the original article:
We thought we would give it a try, only using a Google Spreadsheet with some fancy conditional formatting instead of a whiteboard
Overall the pairing matrix serves it purpose: it helps us have much more balanced pairings. We've been using it for several months and will likely continue using it so long as it seems useful.
It strikes me that a pairing matrix would be a good way for team new to pair programming to add a bit of helpful structure. I would hesitate to add this structure if it's unneeded: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Here are some screenshots of pairing matrices at different stages. Team structures changed and thus the featured developers were not always the same, but you get the idea.
By popular demand, I have made a blank, read-only copy of our pairing matrix, complete with conditional formatting. Feel free to duplicate it and modify the copy. Please post your own modifications and optimizations in the comments.

The Gospel according to Luke 18:18-27
At that time, a ruler came to Jesus and asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.' " And he said, "All these I have observed from my youth." And when Jesus heard it, he said to him, "One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." But when he heard this he became sad, for he was very rich. Jesus looking at him said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?" But he said, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."
