Dir. Tomas Alfredson
Lonely 12 year old Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) is bullied by his classmates and all but neglected by his mother. One night, while sitting on the climbing frame outside his housing complex, he meets Eli (Lina Leandersson) who has just moved into the flat next door to his with her strange guardian Håken (Per Ragnar). And so a gentle friendship begins. Eli gives Oskar the strength to hit back when he is bullied, and Oskar takes it all in his stride (the way only 12 year olds can do) when he realises Eli is a vampire…
'Can I come in? Say that I can come in.'
Written by John Ajvide Lindqvist and adapted from his own novel, Let the Right One In has, like its little vampire protagonist, subtly worked its way into the minds and hearts of audiences everywhere. Emerging from relative obscurity, it has found a large enough audience to become the sleeper hit of the year so far. And rightly so.
The two leads deliver mesmerising performances. Kåre Hedebrant as Oskar is compelling to watch. When we first encounter him, it is his reflection in the window of his bedroom we see first. This image speaks volumes about his ostracism from society – he appears as a lonely projection of himself. However as the film progresses, he becomes more fleshed out and his relationship with Eli is really the heart of the story. Lina Leandersson as Eli strikes the right balance between innocence and sinister maturity. We are given the bare bones of her history, but it is more than enough to assure us she is equal parts victim and monster. The fact that she is trapped for eternity in the body of a child is more than a little unnerving, given her experiences. When she is discovered nestled animal-like in a bathtub by an intruder, we feel genuine concern for her as she huddles sleeping in her blankets. She is, after all, only a little girl. Isn't she? There is something quite feral in her movements, as she flits about cautiously one minute and moves in swiftly for the kill the next. The sound effects that accompany her feeding are sufficiently disturbing and the sight of her quickly crawling up the side of the hospital building is also wonderfully chilling.
Imbued with a distinct fairytale-like quality and seeping with creativity, the film is frozen over with chilly imagery that will sear itself into your mind; from the constant flurrying snow and vaporising breath, to the sight of Eli wandering through the icy night in her bare feet. The only warmth that omits from the story is the tentative relationship between Oskar and Eli, and even this is at times tinged with ambiguity and menace. We have already seen what the 'little girl' is capable of and are all too aware of her strength and cunning.
Director Alfredson has a seamless ability to conjure up the most provocative images to enhance the story: everything appears almost bleached out, save for a startling red berry here, or a drop of blood on crisp white snow there. The way he balances scenes of quiet drama with more intense moments is pitch perfect.
Indeed, those wanting a truly visceral feast will no doubt dribble with glee during the climactic swimming pool massacre or throughout the series of increasingly distressing events that befall one of Eli's victims who is unfortunate enough to survive the attack… Perhaps being a vampire is not so 'cool' after all.
The film's adherence to old vampire folklore is interesting too – the title itself comes from the notion that vampires may only cross the threshold of a home if they are invited. If they are not, the consequences are apparently dire.
As dreamily beautiful and delicate as the film looks, the story never lies huddled in the corner under an abundance of stylisation. The measured direction and gentle pace serve to better absorb us into the bloodstream of the eerie world in which the story unfolds. The way in which events insidiously work their way into your consciousness and chill the spinal column as they go, is remarkable. Nothing seems contrived: we are left to process events and details and the film makers don't see fit to spoon-feed their audience. The subtle nuances gradually build to a fitting denouement. All captured nicely by the dreamily crisp cinematography courtesy of Hoyte Van Hoytema. That's not say we are left wondering what has just happened: the film takes its time but it does deliver, and when it does, chances are you will be reeling from the impact.
While Eli makes Oskar believe in himself enough to stand up to his tormentors, one can't help but think of her reasons. They do genuinely care for each other. We are reminded of her silent guardian Håken who was responsible for hunting down fresh blood for her and the lengths he went to in order to protect her: the way she suggestively stroked his face, fleetingly threw a stark light on the depth and true nature of their relationship. Oskar's loyalty to Eli and the two's seemingly necessary co-dependency suggests he might be a fitting replacement. Perhaps Eli and Håken once recognised within each other the kindred spirit that she now shares with Oskar; despondent and dysfunctional souls existing on the periphery of life. Her nurturing, and grooming, of Oskar to ensure her own survival, is an aspect of the film that perturbs the most.
Johan Söderqvist's hauntingly beautiful score is equal parts brooding and lushly moving, and perfectly enhances the intimately epic nature of the story.
There is so much more I would love to discuss about this film, but I really don't want to give too much away – I hope I haven't done that already. Seek this film out and watch it.
Chilling, brittle and bittersweet - and guaranteed to not thaw out of your thoughts for a long time to come…

Paly Choir Trip to Italy
Original post made by Mom, Old Palo Alto, on Apr 23, 2012
The choir will perform five concerts, but this is not part of a national or international competition, but rather just an enrichment experience.
Who pays for this kind of trip? What are the costs to PAUSD?
a resident of Crescent Park
on Apr 23, 2012 at 4:25 pm
Parents pay. This is outside of the per view of PAUSD in that it is not an official school trip. No grades or credit associated.
I'm not a choir parent, but my understanding is that the choir also did their own fund raising to help with those who were tight on funds.

Do the teachers pay their own way and volunteer their time?
a resident of Crescent Park
on Apr 24, 2012 at 10:58 am
I do not know the answer to your question. However my experience with our own children and their various trips is that the teachers (i.e., "the organizers") either go for free or at a discount. Same policy (discount) usually goes for the chaperons - which are also included in this particular trip.
I am very familiar with the operations of a local age group sports club. The coaches typically travel for free as the trip fees paid by the families cover those expenses.
I would say that the choir trip is somewhat similar.

My daughter (different town, different school) was on the Color Guard team. Each year they took a different trip, Russia, Asia, England and each trip was paid by parents and fund raisers for those who couldn't afford the trip. I paid for her because I wanted her to see the world (I didn't) and be better enriched for it. She came home with a greater appreciation for different cultures and had a blast. @Mom...unless your child is going, why do you care what it costs or who pays for it? If you can't afford it there are ways to raise the money. Your child will be richer for the experience. I would gladly, and did, pay my share for the teachers to chaperone and in fact, several parents paid full shares to go as well.
Now...if you think I had a lot of money, you are sadly mistaken. But I sacrificed a little to send her. Worked extra days and had her contribute by raising money. She is 33 now and still talks about dancing on the Great Wall of China and for the Prince and Princess of Thailand.
Sure there were those that couldn't go because of financial difficulties and the dissapointment at the planning meetings were painful to watch. We did everything we could to minimize the pain and worked extra hard to raise funds for those students. In the end, during my three years of participation....no student was left behind.

Thank you for your comment "Annoyed", you have expressed my feelings exactly. I had been reading this and wondering how to participate and you have done it well.
As the parent of a choir member who went on the Brazil trip, I feel that all the money spent was an investment in my child's education. Travel is an experience that will last a lifetime and the unique part of this trip is that part of the time they feel like tourists and other times they are made to feel like visiting US ambassadors or even "celebrities". This is something that a family trip couldn't do and the lessons as well as the memories are more than money can buy.

Thank you Annoyed and Former Paly Choir Parent.
Touring with performing groups is an amazing experience for students. The Paly Choir works hard, sings well and this is an opportunity of a lifetime!

@ Mom. I'm not sure what your agenda is here. It is coming across that you disapprove for some reason or another. Whatever.
Roundtrip SFO-Rome is $1700. That leaves $2200 (for 9 days) to cover lodging, meals, transportation (bus), venue rental fees, sound equipment rentals at each site, performance permits, performance promotion, pay for teachers' expenses, supplement chaperones' expenses, tours/guides, fee to tour organizers. Do the math - the costs are fine.

I don't have kids, nor did I travel to Europe w/school groups in high school. Instead, I chose to travel to various parts of the vast US. The experiences I had deeply effected me & made me a better person. heck, I even set up 2 people who then married & have a wonderful family.
I have a lot of friends who traveled to Europe as part of their various clubs, as well as to other places to do volunteer work. Hands down, it's made a big difference in their lives. While being in a choir & seeing the sights in Europe may not have the same do-gooder vibe as those who work w/the poor in Mexico, these are young people we're talking about, whose lives are being shaped & their personalities being formed in part by their experiences. Sure, globalization has made the world seem smaller, but it really isn't & it's no substitution for experiencing the real deal.
I'm lucky to have family in & from Europe, but most people don't. These experiences are immeasurably rich & I hope that this year's trip is a joy for all involved.

Paly is a public school, accountable to the entire school community for budget choices. When an expense benefits just 40 students at a high school with 2,000 students, then I think everyone has the right to know what it costs.
Every expenditure, whether of paid teacher time, subsidizing of student costs or equipment, comes from the same limited budget and impacts other programs.

Mom from Old Palo Alto - Paly does NOT pay for this trip in any way. It happens during the summer when the teacher's time is their own. Students pay their own way. With large trips like this, usually organized thru a tour company, the teachers may even get their trip for free.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Apr 27, 2012 at 11:43 am
Yes, paly parent is correct. No school funds are being spent. The trip is during the summer...
What is the big deal?

Where I stayed
BnB de Spasova
We arrive in Skojpe at the un-godly hour of 4.45am. Not in the best of moods and it takes all my will power not to cuss the woman who pushed in front of me as i queue for my ticket to our final destination Strumica, where my friend Suza lives with her newborn daughter. She moved back in January and i cant wait to see her. and this b**** in front of me is pushing my buttons big time on my 2 hours sleep. So i breathe, otherwise i will end up being arrested!
We board the bus for Strumica which is the final destination of the bus. we bag the back seat and the bus ride was uneventful although we got to see quite a bit of the country as we travelled through different towns - verles, Stip and Radovis.
As we head into Strumica, the road is very bumpy and reminds me of a cobbled road that you would find in London
Anyway, Michael bets me a pair of shoes that she brings Angelina. I stupidly say she wont. I was wrong. dammit i lost a pair of shoes. Suza arrives with Angelina, who is adorable! Her dad Natse is driving so we all pile into the car and i get my first shock as there are no baby seats at all. Angelina sits on suza�s lap in the front seat. Also, seat belts are not used. Wow. How different is this?
We meet Auntie Irina (suzas mum) and have a big welcome!
I am exhausted as is Michael but we are both starving and in dire need of some breakfast. well it is 9am! suza suggests that we try the local breakfast of �Borak�which is a pastry filled with mincemeat and accompanied by yoghurt. I give it ago while Michael turns green at the thoiught and orders a sweet pastry. Can you guess what happens next? yes, he eats half of mine
We chat for a bit and enjoy lunch that Auntie Irina has made - peppers and rice which end up being my favourite - and then we go for a long sleep!! . We get up at 8pm to eat dinner together. Lunch is the main meal of the day here, and dinner is generally small.
My mum has sent a package i asked for and she included a little letter which was sweet :))
We quickly fall into a routine within the household and getting up, have breakfast, chat and chill with Suza and Angelina as its far too hot to go out during the day, and if you do it is only for a short hop. The temperature is getting to the late 30�s, early 40�s. Far too hot for my Irish skin. Even Michael finds it hot!
Iced coffee time is mid morning - i have yet to find anyone who can make iced coffees like suza!
We have lunch together and then go for a snooze and then go out in the evening when its cooler.
The night after, Suza is our tour guide and shows us around
The next day we visit Suza�s church. It is during the day before lunch so its not too hot and its only a 5 minute walk. Here i am really educated - Suza and her family are Macedonian Orthodox and their practices are very different to mine being a Catholic. they bless themselves from right to left instead of our left to right. They do this 3 times with abowed head before entering the church. Inside there are no seats apart from chairs for elderly people. You stand for mass. As you leave, you tend to walk backwards as turning your back to the alter is considered disrespectful. The alter is adorned with Icons of saints and it is custom to kiss the icons on the alter.
The candles are also different. You buy the candles from the shop next door and you have 2 large circular stands with 2 rings. They have sand and water in them to hold up the candles. The top ring is for the living and the bottom for those who have died. You never light a candle for the dead with one that is already alight for the living.
The church also has space to house people who want to visit and help out - very similar to the manastery that Michael stayed in before we got married. The garden s pretty and they have a small little selection of animals living there under the shade of the kiwi vines hanging above us
We eat out in town that evening and relax with a beer with Suza and her brother. I must be honest and say that the beer in Macedonia is to strong for me. I just couldnt get used to it!! i know... the shame.
One evening we pay a visit to the ruins above Strumica - a 40minute hike - but a good hour by car as the road starts out ok but then is very bad. The major apparantly has a lot to answer for!!!
The ruins have been excavated but have fallen into disrepair since doing so in 2000 and they are a little overgrown and unkept but the view is lovely.
I must point out at this point that Michael is picking up some Macedonian words where as i am not!! my language skills leave a lot to be desired.
Here is the extent of my Macedonian:
Falah - thank you
Dobra - Good
Yardie (yes i know) - Eat
Kebapi - Kebab �fingers
Auntie Irina is impresed with Michael! I should also say that her cooking is amazing.
On Friday at lunctime she made us home made fish and chips. Awesome.
But the peppers are still my favourite :)
For some reason, Michael and I decide to go down to town during the day. Suza did warn us... Oh my god its so hot. Its like 40+. Help. We are visiting 2 monastery�s in the afternoon so we dont spend long, plus i am unable to take the heat so we head home sharpish!!!
As promised, that afternoon we visit 2 monastery�s - Vodica and Veljusa. Both very different but very beautiful. (see pictures). We spend some time talking to the nuns at both and they give us a background to the Monastery�. There are many icons still on the wall remaining from the time they were built.
Our next stop on our tourist trail is the Waterfall at Koleshino. Its beautiful. and the air is cleaner up here after we walk through trees and over streams to get there
Irina and Natse grew up in the same village near to Strumica so we take a visit there and meet some of Suza�s extended family - aunts, uncles and cousins. They all still live in the same area and the homes have been passed down the generations.
Our week passed really quickly and before we know it, its sunday, the day before we leave. We spend it finding a place to stay in Ljubliana, Slovenia, washing clothes, packing and basically running around!
Monday morning comes too soon and saying goodbye is difficult. We have really enjoyed our stay here and more than a tear is shed. When i next see Angelina she will be a year old!!!
Suza left London before the wedding and it was a it crazy then but i know i will notice the difference when i get back. I guess ill just have to present myself in Macedonia often!!!

Rebelscum's UK Toy Fair coverage shows images of products in different packaging alongside the green Yoda look - it's a ROTS-inspired Vader with Mustafar lava designs. There aren't any Hasbro products with the look (or any Hasbro products in general aside from a transforming larger-scale Anakin-to-Vader figure), but it seems to be the new standard line look.
I assumed that the Yoda look would encompass both AOTC and ROTS, especially since they're only being released in 3D a few weeks apart and he fights in both, but this makes sense. It's less garish than the 2005 look, but it is quite similar - though now Vader is reaching out at us (to focus on the 3D, perhaps?). I have to assume that there will be some unintentional overlap of the Yoda and Vader designs, but I wonder if they're supposed to both be featured alongside each other or if Vader will replace Yoda completely? Hasbro mentioned at CVI that Yoda would only last six or seven months, so it's probably meant as a replacement.

The Mississippi House of Representatives last week passed a bill that, among other things, prohibited the youngest teenage drivers from sending text messages while at the wheel. Many legislators actually voted against it, perhaps fearing the ire of their children.
This is probably not quite what Bob Dylan had in mind when he sang defiantly to parents in the 1960s that "your sons and your daughters are beyond your command."
It is a lamentable sign of another round of changin' times that anyone would object to telling 15- and 16-year-old drivers that they can't perform a two-handed function when at least one of those hands should be on the wheel. But such are our electronic addictions these days and our twisted notion of what "freedom" entitles us to do. Put the lives of everyone in your path at risk, not to mention your own? Hey, don't tell me what to do in my car.
The only logical argument against banning texting for the youngest drivers is that it shouldn't stop there. But you can forget about going up the age ladder.
As for simply talking on cell phones while driving, there's little chance in this state for that to be outlawed, either.
Who hasn't had at least near-miss experiences with cell-phone-fixated drivers oblivious to everyone around them? Or, if we're honest, how many of us have found ourselves distracted in our own cell phone conversation and suddenly realizing, by our own near-miss, how risky it is to ourselves and others?
In an amazingly short time – barely more than a decade – instant access to everyone, an uninterrupted connection with anyone at anytime, has come to be viewed as an essential of daily living. How did we live when we weren't constantly available to everyone, and everyone to us?
A bit better, one might argue. We had time to regroup, reflect, and disengage for a while. A ride in the car might be the only time to escape the busy, stressed-fill demands of everyday living for a little quiet solitude. Now increasingly the expectation is that no one's time is his or hers alone, that it belongs to everyone, that I have the right to demand that you be instantly accessible to me, and you likewise to expect it of me.
Sure, I can turn the phone off, but I know that the evolving ethos is that it's considered rude to go too long without responding to another's demands on my time.
E-mail long ago (comparatively speaking) sped up the expectation of a quick turn-around response on business and personal matters. What seemed an advance in efficiency has turned daily communication into a much more time-consuming and often stressful experience.
But perhaps the most significant way instant access, at all times and in all places, is changing the culture is in transporting us out of the moment and the place where we are. We are so busy talking on the phone in every conceivable public and private place, text-messaging, e-mailing, Facebooking, Twittering, Web chatting and otherwise communicating with people somewhere else that living in the moment – "being here now" – is rapidly becoming a lost art.
For a people who are so "connected," we still find communication at any level other than the superficial more elusive than ever.
Recently a couple of fellow Baby Boomers and I were discussing the migration of many of our age peers to Facebook, thereby messing up the cool factor for the young folks who made it theirs early-on. One of us – not I, much to the relief of my teenage daughter – is on Facebook. The other? "I'm looking for ways to disconnect, not connect," he said, only half-jokingly.
This was a busy man in a demanding occupation who is wise enough to know the need for time to himself for recharging and renewing so that he can be there for people at home, at work, at church and in the community. He doesn't dislike people; he likes them a lot, and he's a warm, friendly person. But he knows his limits.
When we lose our ability to be comfortably alone with ourselves, or with the family member, friend, acquaintance or stranger right in front of us, and instead prefer the trivial minutia of so much of today's "connections," we have disconnected ourselves from a deeper awareness and appreciation of the life right around us – the here and now.
We can text all day, but can we have a meaningful conversation with the person next to us? If we have to hesitate with the answer, it's past time to put that cell phone down and rest those thumbs.

I don't think it's an RIP situation...people DO have lives, and more important things to do than manage a site. Not everybody is unemployed and living in their parents basement!
^^^ Owned the OP
Me, I just show up and dick around. Ban someone now and then. Whatever. But I can tell you that we have guys here at FH that work really hard and put in a lot of time and effort to keep this show running. If you could see the amount of hours that guys like WildBill have put into server maintenance and such -for free- then youd realize what a stupid, pointless, and quite frankly insulting thread this is, especially for the guys that have poured a lot into this.

No forum is absolutely perfect, but the people who volunteer (key word, remember that) their time to keep Finheaven up and running do a great job of coming close, IMO. So instead of complaining about a couple trivial things, why not thank them for giving you a place to talk about the Miami Dolphins or any darn subject your mind can think of? If you have a few suggestions, keep in mind there is a Questions and Suggestions Forum you can use...in a constructive way mind you.
Biting the hand that feeds you... Smh... RIP Rainmaker. You're done here.
Sorry guys, I don't agree with how rainmaker presented his issue, It did come off a bit abrasive, however, as a member he is more than right in expressing concerns about issues he may have with the site and or staff etc. I would also like him (and other's with like minded issues) to consider that this time of year, we don't always have time to update things like the front page, what with the holidays being here, xmas shopping, spending time with friends and family, travel, etc, and that taking care of the front page after a disappointing loss may be at the bottom of our list.
Gase has taken an interesting approach to instilling a winning culture in Miami. He is cocky. He is smart. He is borderline deranged.
Read more here: http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/sp...#storylink=cpy
Im sorry Bill and other mods but I dont agree with Rainmaker. Instead of complaining find a way to be a part of the solution not the problem. I dont know how the volunteer process works or how people are selected, but IMO find a way to help this site not tear it down or its mods.
Hey for example I wasn't on here Saturday and most of Sunday except for a few minutes during the day. I was off to a charity event at one of the local wineries Saturday that raises money for orphans for Christmas presents and clothes. I was in the holiday spirit and what better excuse to get hammered when at least my money is being used for something good and not just pissing it down the drain. Sunday of course I had to feed guests from the night before and well my head wasn't doing all that well.
And the point of my post is the "life" aspect of things, I love Finheaven, I truly do but I never lose site of what is important to me and let me tell ya real life is far more important to me than any one website or media source on the Internet. So just like the charity event the staff is donating their time to make a place for people to come discuss the dolphins, most of these people come for free and to the VIPs and Donators they are the ones who truly make it possible and you guys should thank yourselves.
If I'm not mistaken VIPs have the ablity to start vBookie events. Any member can start a "give away", guys like takeospikesneck just do it and are not asked.
It is what it is, the site is you guys, not the staff or owner, without the members there is no site.
"Nonsense, I have not yet begun to defile myself."
Brother rainmaker I think sometimes on how we choose our words will dictate how something is taken by others. You can still choose different words but get the same results. I myself have been an Admin and trust me they spend an awful lot of time here taking care of things on the front end as well as the back end. If these are the things that need attention I can live with that. This is the time of year to spend it with family and friends and appreciate what you have such as loved ones, your health and employment. Thanks for being a donator. If you want great stuff to read and help the site at the same time then join VIP.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and or Happy Holidays to you!

I'd make it as long as possible with a narrow beam and add a small fixed skeg on the bottom to keep it tracking straight.
Wasn't there a guy who posted plans and pictures of the process on here a few years back? I'm too lazy to look, but I'm almost positive I remember some.
Do you make them regularly? The reason I ask is because I've been thinking of taking on the 134 mile Tour du Teche kayak/canoe race in a pirogue. Its the only sanctioned race in the world that has an exemption to allow pirougues. I've done it in a kayak. No one has ever completed it in a pirougue. Was thinking i'd have to build a custom boat to make it as efficient as possible while still being a pirogue and to have flotation to meet the "must float while swamped" rule. I may need to buy a set of plans and then figure out how to modify. Considering this for the challenge of building the boat and the challenge to finish the race not the trophy.
Being builted out of wood, there would be no need of any floating. If you filled the boat, it would stay at the surface.
A long run like you talking about, how much gear/weight you have to have with you?
As far a weight, 220ish pounds. Paddler, 2 paddles, red/ green and white navigation lights (required), food/water and electronics (gps, camera, music etc)
As far as running lights, look into LED battery powered lights.

For those passer-bys inquiring about the Gigapan camera mount while I was taking an earlier panorama, the 360° panorama of Grasmere taken from near the lake has now had to be split into two due to a stitching problem (possibly caused by sun flare). The Grasmere panoramas are now being uploaded to this site.

Warne Maxima Quick Detach Extra High Matte 1 Inch Scope Rings are the most versital quick detach mounting system available. Each ring is precision machined from sintered steel technology, which retains the strength of steel while adding the ductility that scope rings need. The Maxima rings feature the Warne indexable lever system which allows the user to remove the optics and re-attach it without the loss of zero. The location of the lever can also be indexed once the base is attached to the rifle. After the levers are tightened, simply pull out on the lever, turn it to the desired location then let it snap into place. When used on the all steel Warne Maxima bases, Warne guarantees accuracy of within .001 inches when removing and reattaching the optics. The Maxima QD features a square stainless steel recoil control key which ensures a positive recoil engagement surface. The control key guarantees the position of the rings will not shift or move under fierce recoil. Warne Maxima scope rings are designed to fit Warne bases as well as Weaver cross slot and Mil-spec Picatinny bases and rails.

I also noticed that another Target in my area has the TIE fighters out and was sporting the five packs of ROTS collectors cases.

Ah, the long list of things I just don't have time to do.... This diary is, without a doubt, one of them.
Project update:
- Novel: first content-complete draft done. Revising.
- Movie: made a DVD of The Music Box, almost finished
- pitch correction: still low priority
- NetBSD-mac68k driver architecture redesign: maybe soon
That last one is scary. I'm trying to come up with a real software fix for the whole clock drift issue by moving all the real work for I/O from the hardware interrupt context into a high priority kernel thread context. I'm not sure if I'll end up making any scheduler changes or not. That depends on whether there's a neat interface for making a kernel thread schedulable from within the hardware interrupt context.
I created a prototype of part of that rework about a year ago, but I kept getting kernel panics when trying to create the kernel thread, and nobody had any suggestions. At the time, I didn't have time to try to debug it further.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to finish recording a song from which we used just a short snippet in the movie, since I never actually bothered to record it for real....

There are two kinds, one of which is tofu. Seems natural?
Ok, so I'm gonna give it a shot for lent so I can critique it. The only thing is I don't eat anything soy because it is horrible for you. I absolutely refuse and am not looking to screw up my hormonal balnce and grow moobs. Got to find other suggestions I guess...
I'll do strict paleo for lent. You do strict vegan. We can write down our stats on Ash Wednesday and again on Easter.
What do you say? (Other posters willing to participate on one side of the other can too.)
I'm going to miss ice cream.
And almond flour. Where does that even come from?
Slice bananas. Freeze bananas for an hour. Blend bananas. You can add cacao powder or peanut butter or whatever you want. Banana ice cream + whatever you add.
You can make your own if you have some almonds on hand and a coffee grinder or food processor! It's fairly simple and MUCH cheaper than store bought.
I think I've got a decent menu made so I can avoid eating lentils, soy and most grains.
Ezekiel bread
Almond butter
Almond milk
sweet potatoes
some types of beans that go well with my blood type
brown rice
tons of veggies.
I know by eating this type of diet I'm not really following the vegan diet of soy and all that other crap. However, it is a good starting point and I think will be much healthier than eating the crap you can eat on the traditional vegan diet. I'm mainly interested about the no meat no fish thing anyway. If this works well I'll try to introduce fish after lent and see how it goes.
I am planning on keeping with the exercise I listed before which is only once a week. It's worked well so far. I'll probably add a little running or other activities to that though.
That's a ton of fruit/sugar. Do you not have insulin spikes and belly fat from all of that?
When you say 10-12 carrots, do you mean baby carrots?
Well how much juice will that make and why juice it instead of just eating it? You are losing out on the fiber.
Came home and made this:
Skinny Taste - Cheesy Spaghetti Squash
It certainly isn't Paleo friendly, but for those that love pasta, like I do, it was fantastic!

Restaurants: Vinous Misdemeanours
I've just returned from a four-day dining trip in London; I had great fun, drinking and eating my way round this capital city, not least because thanks to the intelligence of some of London's sommeliers I was able to almost exclusively drink from the Loire. I did go slightly off-piste with a glass of Champagne here and there, and seriously off-piste with a Hungarian Kekfrankos (what was I thinking?!) but otherwise it was Saumur, Sancerre, Montlouis, Pét Nat and more, all the way.
Although it was fun I also met some old bêtes noires, and I encountered some new ones too. I will be writing about each restaurant individually over the next few weeks, but I can't help put a few words down about the vinous misdemeanours I witnessed. Think of it as my therapy.
Wrong Vintages
I know, this is an old one, but it still happens. The list says 2011, but when the bottle comes it's a 2010. In this case it didn't really matter, the only issue being I was drinking from a domaine I am keen to get to know better, and whereas I had tasted the 2010 before I was really interested in tasting the 2011. Both vintages were fine for the region in question though, so I just accepted the wine with a nod, and it was just as delicious second time around. But I woudn't have been so keen if it were a 2013 Bordeaux instead of a 2012 (very different levels of quality) or a 2011 Muscadet instead of a 2012 (the latter vintage was magnificent, the former stuffed with grey rot). If you really can't manage the vintages, which are important, perhaps you should cut back your 120-page list a little?
The Heavy Pour
This is another old one, but I encountered it in two different forms. The premise is simple; the more your glass is topped up, the more likely you are to get onto a profit-inducing second bottle. The problem is it brings me out in hives. On the first occasion, one restaurant I dined at saw my table visited more than twenty times during dinner (bringing a new meaning to overbearing service) in most cases to keep dribbling the wine into my glass. On one occasion a waiter would walk away having topped up my glass only for another to appear moments later to do the same, without me even taking a sip between visits.
The second heavy pourer was working with a bottle of mineral water, rather than wine, at a two-star establishment. Having filled my glass at the start of the meal, I was only at the stage of nibbling the hors d'oeuvres (before even the amuse bouche proper arrived) when the second heavy pour almost drained the bottle, leaving less than a half inch of water at the bottom. The waitress clearly considered this close enough to be empty, and was quick to suggest she should bring another bottle. I declined, at which point my nearly-finished bottle was whisked away. It was the start of a very strange evening, and on reflection this moment was perhaps not that unusual when considered in context!
Big Name Wine Lists
If you have a sommelier, they should (I would have thought) be expected to put together a wine list with interesting names and choices, some familiar, some less so. Unsung regions should get a look in, including lesser regions of Italy, Spain, Eastern Europe and so on. And the Loire of course. This is usually the case (and is exactly why I managed to drink my way up and down the Loire at every dinner) but at one restuarant I was surprised to see the Loire section consist of almost nothing but Didier Dagueneau (good, but expensive of course, especially with restaurant mark-up), Domaine des Baumard and Nicolas Joly (pictured above). None of which (for reasons of price, or otherwise) interested me. But honestly, anybody who reads the Wine Spectator could have put together that list, comprised purely of 'break-through' domaines who have made it into the mainstream wine consciousness. Really, a sommelier put that together?! It's a bit like a Bordeaux list of only Latour, Le Pin and Cheval Blanc. Very pricy, and more than a bit obvious. Thank heavens for four lonesome and more interesting bottles (on a list that went over more than 80 pages) tagged on at the end, which was where I found something more to my taste.
The Thieving Sommelier
The last misdemeanour I witnessed was very questionable. Sitting in a London wine bar I had the perfect position to watch the sommelier at work, opening and decanting some nice-looking bottles for the bar's clientele, including (during my short stop there) a seven-year old Cornas, and a ten-year old Nuits-St-Georges. For each bottle, the sommelier would take a tiny pour to sniff and taste, to check the wine. Fair enough – that's her job. Then she would take a much more handsome pour – a small glassful, perhaps 100-125 ml – and put that to one side, before decanting the rest of the wine which she or one of her colleagues would pour at table. Remarkably, the glass put aside then went to a nearby table of her friends/colleagues, who she presided over; I guessed they were trainee sommeliers, from the way she stood over them as they blind-tasted the wine. What's really important though, is not exactly why they were taking the wine, but the fact that both wines (and, I suspect, others later in the day) were paid for by an unknowing third party. When you consider that the combined price of the two bottles I saw was just shy of £140, and that this probably continued on after I left the restaurant, that's certainly very dodgy practice.

Sicp Challenge Progress
2011 had been an extremely interesting year. I feel very happy to have made good progress on my Programming Language Theory learning. I am also qute happy with my SICP challenge project, which was my only noteworthy side project. I am somewhere in the initial portions of chapter 4 right now and it had been worth every minute I spent on it.
I also started reading many books connected with SICP and Programming Language theory, like TaPL and EoPL. Discovering the work of Dan Friedman was an eye opener and I hope to spend many many hours in the next few years learning from his books. I also read "The Little Schemer" and am well into "The Seasoned Schemer" and on to "The Reasoned Schemer" as soon as I am done. I will happily recommend these great books for anyone starting with Scheme.

By NEMS Daily Journal
ABERDEEN – Georgios Lazarou's six-year-old employment lawsuit against Mississippi State University was dismissed Thursday.
The Cypress native sued in 2007, claiming MSU denied him tenure in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
In permanently dismissing the case, Senior U.S. District Judge Glen H. Davidson said Lazarou failed to present enough evidence to rebut reasons given for his denial of tenure or that his Caucasian colleagues were treated differently in the tenure process.
Lazarou began work at MSU as an assistant professor under a series of one-year contracts. In his sixth year he applied for tenure and promotion.
His department's review committee voted unanimously against it, which set off a chain of refusals.
MSU said although he was satisfactory in teaching and service, he failed with insufficient research, publishing and grants.
Lazarou claimed his denial was on his race and national origin.

CES 2013: Lenovo Announces 27", Windows 8-Powered "Horizon" Table PC
Brandon Hill
January 6, 2013 6:00 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Lenovo's Horizon will start at $1,700
We have seen large, multi-touch table PC concepts in the past from
companies like Microsoft
. More recently, we've seen Sony tackle the sector with the
Vaio Tap 20
Now, Lenovo is looking to expand its presence in your living room with the 27" IdeaCentre Horizon Table PC. The Horizon can lay on a flat surface (like a table or floor) where multiple users can gather around and interact with the touch interface.
Horizon supports simultaneous 10-finger touch, and even comes with a few cool peripherals to use including E-dice for card-based games and four joysticks (Lenovo currently has backing from Electronic Arts and Ubisoft for games with Horizon support).
When not being used in table mode, the Horizon can easily convert into a regular 27" desktop PC (1920x1080 resolution).
The Horizon runs
Windows 8 Pro
, packs in a third-generation Intel Core i7 processor, up to a NVIDIA GeForce GT 620M graphics card with 1GB of memory, up to 8GB of DDR3 memory, and up to a 1TB HDD. A 64GB SSD can be optionally added. Other features include stereo speakers with Dolby Home Theater v4, Bluetooth and 802.11n, 720p webcam, 6-in-1 media reader, and USB 3.0 support.
Thankfully, the Horizon includes an integrated battery so that families can gather around and interact with the device and not trip over wires. However, don't expect to go cordless for too long -- the integrated battery is only good for a maximum of two hours before you have to go scrambling to find the power cord.
"We've seen technology shifts across the four screens, from the desktop to the laptop, tablet and smartphone, and yet, while people have more computing power than ever before, there is still room for technologies like Horizon that bring people together," said Peter Hortensius, president, Product Group, Lenovo. "Horizon makes personal computing interpersonal computing with shared, collaborative experiences among several people,"
Lenovo's Horizon Table PC will not launch until early summer, and will feature a price tag starting at $1,699.

You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
BTW, the "free food" that was grubbed on (upon which was grubbed?) was a In-N-Out cheeseburger and soda, plus popcorn, sno cones, single-serving candies, and purified tap water as you walked around. I just went with the burger and drink.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
My lunch today was, in a roundabout sort of way, free.
I had to run to Walgreens for Mrs. Solo last night and as I was walking in I spotted a $5 bill on the ground and yoinked that lad.
So today's Taco Bell (Fiesta Potatoes and 2 Cheesy Bean and Rice burritos) were basically gratis of the unlucky individual who also had to make a quick run to the store. I'll think fondly of him or her again later when I shove the remaining dollar into the vending machine at work!
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.
Can of Corn and "Kippered" Snacks. (think smoked sardines-but they aren't sardines, they're some other small fish)
Move along, move along
Cheese sandwich, pretzels, chocolate milk.
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
12" Turkey sub on honey oat bread (toasted) with lettuce, green peppers, onion, bananna peppers, and southwest sauce.
Then you could really think fondly of that person as you walked around you mansion in your mink slippers.
BTW: I had my famous grilled cheese on sourdough bread sandwich with chips and a Coke for lunch today
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I got some white cranberry/peach juice from Costco, so I'll be having that in my lunch for a while now instead of the usual cran-raspberry.

he wont.Hopefully Hayden will fall to us in the 2nd, he's a stud.
the cats out of the bag on him and he will not be there in the second. if we want him we will have to see if he falls to the bottom portion of the 1st round and try to trade back in. but, there are a couple teams down there who have 2 #1 pics and if they havnt used them to trade up for someone else, they will take him.
hayden is one of my top 5 players in the draft. he may be the best cb talent wise in this draft, but, the injury is the cog in all this.
i would love to have him on our team. he is special and just the enforcer we need in the secondary.

As reported by the National Enquirer.....Hmmm
"In the same Jan. 31 issue in which the National Enquirer reports the Palin scoop, it also reports that Jennifer Aniston has a drinking problem and President Obama is stick-thin because he has stomach parasites".
National Inquirer: Obama Had Affair With Vera Baker
Posted By Michael van der Galien On May 3, 2010 @ 10:00 am In Feature | 85 Comments
From the looks of it, Obama could be in more trouble than even his most passionate opponents thought. According to the National Inquirer, Obama has had an affair with his former aide Vera Baker.
While Baker has insisted in the past that nothing happened between them, reports reveal that top anti-Obama operatives are offering more than $1 million to witnesses to reveal what they know about the alleged hush-hush affair.
Among those being offered money is a limo driver who says in 2004 that he took Vera to a secret hotel rendezvous in a Washington hotel where Obama was staying.
An ENQUIRER reporter has confirmed the limo drivers account of the secret 2004 rendezvous and has also learned that on-site hotel surveillance video camera footage could provide indisputable evidence to the investigation.
Its remarkable that this news isnt covered by the mainstream media. First of all, this isnt merely a rehash of old reports. Secondly, the Lewinsky-affair proved that affairs of presidents are newsworthy to put it mildly. Thirdly, and lastly, the National Inquirer was the only one who had the courage to report on former Democratic candidate for president John Edwards affair with Rielle Hunter. The mainstream media ignored this scandal, arguing that the NI was little more than a gossip magazine and, therefore, not exactly reliable. A year later, however, Edwards had to admit that he did indeed have an affair with Hunter (while his wife was suffering from breast cancer) and that she had given birth to their daughter.
As an aside I have to say that I hope that this whole controversy will not contribute to Obamas downfall: leftists should be defeated because of their political views, not because of what they do in their private time.

While we are on the subject of reputable news sources...
The Enquirer now alleges that Todd Palin, husband of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, had an affair with a massage therapist in Wasilla, AK. The Enquirer claims that police have physical evidence that Palin had an affair with Shailey Tripp, a massage therapist recently arrested for running a prostitution house.
According to their online teaser --the full article will be in the paper on the newsstands-- the Enquirer began looking into the story on January 4, when it and other media outlets received an email from "email@example.com" claiming Tripp had an affair with Todd, which eventually led to Tripp's arrest in March 2010:

I am wondering if it was Todd that picked out the name for Bristols baby--Tripp ?
My son is a real estate agent in Dallas. He said business in picking up. Must not be the case in Florida for Roger based on the amount of time he has on his hands.

TRIAL LAWYERS SECTION Chair Wayne Heslby, right, presents a $75,000 donation check to former Foundation President Bruce Blackwell.
Trial Lawyers Section renews its gift to the Bar Foundation
The Florida Bar Trial Lawyers Section has provided a second gift of $75,000 to The Florida Bar Foundation to support the work of the Trial Lawyers Section Children's Legal Services Fellow for one more year.
The section made its initial gift in January 2011 in response to the impending loss of legal aid attorney positions due to the prolonged and steep decline in revenue from Florida's IOTA program.
The gift has enabled Jessica Rae, an attorney with more than 10 years of experience representing foster youth, to continue the Transitioning Dependent Youth Project at the Community Law Program in St. Petersburg, where over the last nine months she has helped 85 teenagers as they transition out of the dependency system.
"The Trial Lawyers Section is delighted to once again provide The Florida Bar Foundation with this gift of $75,000," Trial Lawyers Section Chair Wayne Helsby said. "As trial lawyers, we fully understand and appreciate the importance of obtaining legal representation in the course of our judicial process. So many Floridians are simply unable to afford that representation. We collectively feel a deep sense of responsibility to assist The Florida Bar Foundation in helping others obtain representation, especially our state's foster children."
Helsby said the section hopes its gift will again prompt other Bar sections to contribute to "this most worthwhile cause."
The Trial Lawyers Section's initial gift was instrumental in encouraging other Bar sections to contribute to The Florida Bar Foundation over the last year. The combined generosity of the Bar, its sections and divisions, and their members resulted in gifts of more than $620,000 to the Foundation last year.
The leadership of the Family Law Section made a $75,000 contribution to the Foundation's Children's Legal Services Grant Program. The Real Property, Probate, and Trust Law Section launched an effort that brought in $85,000 to support Children's Legal Services, a significant portion of which came from individual RPPTLS members. The Young Lawyers Division made a $100,000 gift, which the Foundation used to help fund its Law School Loan Repayment Program to help legal aid organizations retain staff attorneys. The Criminal Law Section approved a $25,000 gift, and the Alternative Dispute Resolution Section gave $1,000. The Bar also waived the Foundation's booth fee at the Annual Convention, allowing the Foundation to recruit additional fellows at no cost.
The second year of funding for the Trial Lawyers Section children's legal services fellow comes at a crucial time, said Kimberly Rodgers, executive director of the Community Law Program, adding that, like most legal aid organizations, the Community Law Program is still in the midst of a sharp decline in funding from all sources that is not expected to level off anytime soon.
"Despite this outlook, this incredibly generous gift from the Trial Lawyers Section, which has been repeated, has helped us build a formidable wall of protection for young people who need it the most," Rodgers said. "Many stakeholders in the child welfare community have taken notice of the tremendous impact Jessica's advocacy has made, which is something our organization would never have been able to accomplish without this section's financial support."

So much to do!
Located on 210-acres in the heart of Edmond, Okla., Central gives students the opportunity to live on campus in safe, comfortable residence halls, just steps away from their classes, the library, student activities and the Wellness Center. Campus living also includes newly renovated dining areas across campus offering delicious and healthy meals—there's even a fully licensed Starbucks in the University Center! Plus, students can visit the Student Health Center for physician services.
We also believe that a beautiful, well-kept campus encourages pride in our campus community. That's why we are developing many garden and sculpture areas on campus, with the intent to soon become a certified botanical garden. Along with a "green thumb," we also have a "go green" attitude. UCO runs on 100% wind energy, uses compact fluorescent bulbs, has a campus-wide recycling program, creates it's own bio-diesel fuel and encourages carpooling and bike riding.
The growing, bustling Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area surrounds Central, offering access to superior internship/employment opportunities, major cultural destinations (including Central's own Jazz Lab), sporting events that include OKC's NBA team the Thunder and so much more.

Chronic Fatigue and Gluten Sensitivity
Chronic fatigue is unfortunately one of those syndromes that seems to "fall through the cracks" of our traditional medical system. Why? Likely because it doesn't fit into the symptom-drug model. No drug has been created that successfully treats the myriad symptoms associated with CFIDS.
Not being a particular fan of masking symptoms with drugs, I don't find the lack of "effective" drug treatment a negative. But what I would like to address is the success we've had here treating Chronic Fatigue and the interrelated causative factors.
Research studies have associated the development of chronic fatigue with patients exposed to traumatic events and chronic stress, with stress increasing an individual's risk by 500%!
If you evaluate the symptoms associated with adrenal gland exhaustion and compare them to those of chronic fatigue, you will see a common thread between the two.
The adrenal glands are your stress gland and when they aren't functioning adequately you can expect to experience such symptoms as fatigue, immune system weakness, joint pains, muscle aches, depression, anxiety, insomnia and headaches. Basically the symptoms of adrenal fatigue are identical to those of chronic fatigue.
Our philosophy is to address the underlying root cause and upon evaluating a chronic fatigue patient it is most common to find the following:
Weakened adrenal glands
Food sensitivities
Digestive malfunction
Infections of the digestive tract
Hormonal imbalance.
While the list may seem a bit extensive, a program can embrace most all of those issues simultaneously resulting in a patient feeling substantially better in 2 or 3 months.
Many researchers are putting chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia in the same category and I too see similar features in both disorders.
But more important than the label is to truly normalize body function such that the unrelenting fatigue and other debilitating symptoms are no longer an issue. When addressing root cause one needs to get to that undercut of malfunction that, when resolved, results in regained health. While this can prove challenging it truly isn't difficult when one understands how the body functions.
We reviewed that adrenal malfunction and chronic fatigue have similar symptoms. So the next question is, how do we resolve adrenal fatigue? It's a natural therapy but it doesn't tend to be the bottom line root cause. Rather it's often a secondary effect of the root cause. The primary problem is often digestive in nature and involves food sensitivities (think gluten and dairy as the biggest culprits), infections in the small intestine and a resultant weakened immune system.
Diagnosing and treating the above is not difficult and it's completely natural (excepting an occasional antibiotic to treat a particularly stubborn infection). But the program must be done as an orchestrated whole utilizing strong enough remedies to affect the necessary change. Simply going to your local health food store and picking up some vitamins or probiotics is likely not going to be sufficient.
We have treated many patients with chronic fatigue successfully. The worst of which was a woman in her 30s that was disabled because of it. I'll never forget speaking to her on the phone and her relating to me that she would lift her forearm off the bed just to see if she still could. That was the extent of effort she could perform. We not only got her back to work but it has been over a decade and she continues to do well and has a very productive life.
If you know someone suffering please forward this to them and let me know how I may be of further assistance. I truly believe that the treatment protocol that I've laid out above can be successful for most.
Until next time, I wish you good health.

Someone is being very confused here. "Chronic fatigue" is NOT the same thing as chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), also known as CFIDS. "Chronic fatigue" is a symptom of numerous health conditions from depression to cancer. CFS/ME is a severe neurological infectious disease which can be deadly.
I believe you are speaking about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome not chronic fatigue (always tired) --the distinction is VERY important.
The distinction between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (neuroligic and autoimmune illness) and chronic fatigue (always tired) is VERY important.
- mroy99 said...
According to the CDC, CFIDS affects between between 1 and 4 million Americans.
Can't we take the gist of the article rather than argue about the small details - as someone suffering from chronic fatigue (syndrome) and recently diagnosed gluten intolerance I found this very interesting - I believe the gluten intolerance has hindered my recovery

Chronic fatigue symptoms are different from drowsiness. In general, drowsiness is feeling the need to sleep, while fatigue is a lack of energy and motivation.

There is a commonality among the symptoms of Chronic fatigue syndrome that affects those who suffer from the condition. While many of the symptoms are similar the way they affect one person may be quite different from the affects felt by another person.

That's what the oil companies are counting on.
And that's why it's gone up about 30% in the past couple of months.
That's my jacket!
Everything around town is over the two dollar mark now. $2.09 to $2.35 seems to be the price range.
Next time I fill up, I'll just use the Governator's IOU he's sending me to pay for it!

I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
$2.17 seems to be the lowest I can find these days.
I paid $2.19 to fill up for my trip to San Diego on Tuesday. The run down there, the driving around while I was there (which was considerable since Bobafrett's hotel was a 15-mile backtrack from Tycho's house, and Tycho's nurse got lost on the way so I had to follow), and the run back to LA all only used up 2/3rds of a tank. Even though my car is 16 years old and only specs at 28 mpg hwy, and I might have been speeding much of the way, that trip registered a sweet 29.1 mpg!
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Twenty bucks today got me 8.5 gallons in the tank at $2.32/gal.
BTW: one of our local refineries bellied up this week (Big West/Flying J). Nice. That sound you heard was the next price increase.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I saw a drop today, actually from this morning, from $1.95 to $1.85. Still not even close to where we should be with oil prices so low.
This is an interesting chart app. Comparing Average US gas price vs. oil price and commonly oil price is a good clip ahead of gas price. In the last month or 2 oil price as actually dropped below the gas line while the average price of gas is increasing.
All the reasons that the big oil companies used to drive gas prices this summer seem to have fallen flat on their faces. Now with the prices in recession their same logic should continue driving the price of gas down.

Aviani's hat trick leads Chiefs to win at Prince Albert
Mike Aviani picked up his first career hat trick and assisted on the game winning score with just 3:03 left to lift the Spokane Chiefs to a 7-4 win in Prince Albert Tuesday night. The win was the Chiefs third straight to start off their 6 game road trip through the WHL's Eastern Division.
Prince Albert started the scoring on a power play goal at 16:10 of the first period to take a 1-0 lead. Aviani scored his first of the night and 13th of the year just 1:17 later on Spokane's second power play to even the game at one after the first. Blake Gal and Brenden Kichton picked up the assists as each team was 1-2 on the power play in the period.
Aviani would jump start the Chiefs with his second goal of the night just 4:49 into the second period on assists from Gal and Todd Fiddler to put Spokane up 2-1. Fiddler then scored his league leading 22nd goal of the season on his former team, as Reid Gow and Kichton set up Spokane for a 3-1 advantage at 10:37 of the second. Aviani then capped the hat trick on a backhander from Fiddler and Liam Stewart at 12:56 to give the Chiefs a 4-1 lead. Prince Albert would rally on an Austin Daae goal late in the second to cut the lead to 4-2 after two.
The Raiders would get back to back goals from Dakota Conroy, on assists from former Chief Anthony Bardaro, early in the third period to even the game at 4-4. Aviani then took a Gow pass in the right circle and hit Collin Valcourt for the game winner at 16:57 of the third to put the Chiefs up 5-4. Liam Stewart scored just 38 seconds later on a Connor Chartier pass with his 7th goal of the season to make it 6-4 Spokane. Chartier then stole the puck while the Chiefs were shorthanded and scored into an empty net with just 11.4 seconds remaining to cap the 7-4 win.
The shots were even at 28 apiece, while Spokane went 1-2 on the power play and 3-5 on the penalty kill. The Chiefs have scored 20 goals in their three wins in the East and will head to Saskatoon to face off with the Blades in game 4 of their road trip Wednesday night at 5pm Pacific.

GRAMMY-winning producer RedOne recently visited The Recording Academy's headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., for an installment of 5 Questions With … . The producer/songwriter stopped by to discuss his biggest career moments, the creative process, musical mentors, the influence of social media, and how winning a GRAMMY Award has changed his career.
"It's a relief," said RedOne on the subject of winning a GRAMMY. "It's larger than life; it's amazing. You start from zero and you go all the way, fighting, crying, struggling…until one day you start reaching the charts and the Billboard [Hot 100] No. 1, and [then] you win a GRAMMY. [Winning] a GRAMMY was absolutely [the biggest] moment in my life."
Born Nadir Khayat in Tétouan, Morocco, RedOne moved to Sweden at age 19 inspired by musical acts native to the country such as Abba, Europe and Roxette. In 2005 he produced Swedish pop star Darin's "Step Up," which reached the top of the Swedish singles chart. The following year RedOne's "Bamboo" was named the official melody for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Other artists he's collaborated with include Akon, Kat DeLuna, Enrique Iglesias, and Lady Gaga, among others. RedOne picked up his first GRAMMY Award for Best Dance Recording for Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" in 2009. At the recent 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards he earned Best Pop Vocal Album honors for Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster, as well as a nomination for the coveted Producer Of The Year, Non-Classical award.

The PATIENTSfirst model is built upon the framework of the AACN Synergy Model and its assumptions. The following assumptions ground us in how we see our patients and our practice:
- Patients are biological, psychological, social, and spiritual entities who present at a particular developmental stage. The whole patient (body, mind and spirit) must be considered.
- The patient, family and community all contribute to providing a context for the nursepatient relationship.
- Patients can be described by a number of characteristics. All characteristics are connected and contribute to each other. Characteristics cannot be looked at in isolation.
- Similarly, nurses can be described on a number of dimensions. The interrelated dimensions paint a profile of the nurse.
- A goal of nursing is to restore a patient to an optimal level of wellness as defined by the patient. Death can be an acceptable outcome, in which the goal of nursing care is to move a patient toward a peaceful death.
