New work-in-progress titled "The Curse"Posted by Tanya Wheeler Varga
Here is one of my latest works–in–progress titled, "The Curse." This painting may appear finished to some, but there is still quite a bit of work that I want to put into this piece.
The story that I have in mind for her is that she was once a beautiful young woman who had everything but lost it all when a curse was placed upon her from a jealous rival. She is now doomed to live out her days as a cave/swamp dwelling creature. She sits alone waiting in hope for the day that her nightmare will end.
I'm currently working on a full story for this image that will be available in an art book I'm currently working on. Along with featuring full pages of my best artwork and many new paintings, the book will also include a few painting walk-throughs. I plan on adding a few other stories with images as well.
For those interesting in my art book project, I would like to hear your feedback. Feel free to Contact Me and share with me your ideas/requests regarding what you would like to see or read in the book.
Aside from my art book project, I am still trying to finish up my new website. It has been a slow process due to all of the things I have going on right now, like my other projects/paintings, commissions, life, etc. I wanted to launch the new site this month, but it may not be ready until January.
Will provide more updates soon.
Thanks for stopping by :)

There are three known Arkentools: The Arkenhammer, Arkendish, and Arkenpliers. Four Arkentools are said to exist. Each Arkentools are reported by many Sides to have originated as a tool of the Titans, divine Elvis like beings who originally created Erfworld presumably using Arkentools. Whether the Arkentools were left on purpose or by accident by the Titans is unknown, however, Toolists believe the Titans left them on purpose. Both the origins of the Arkentools and the Titan themselves are reported as if from legend. There are no known first hand accounts or documents of the legends.
It appears that individuals may attune to a given Arkentool and unleash latent Titanic powers. In this sense, attunement means that upon physical contact between the Arkentool and the individual Titanic abilities are unleashed that would otherwise be latent. It is unknown if different individuals upon attunement to a given arkentool release different Titanic powers or if multiple individuals can even attune to the same Arkentool, though to date it appears only one individual is ever attuned to a given Arkentool at one time.
Attunement itself is noted as extremely rare and not easily predicted, but such predictions as an aspect of Fate axiomatic Predictamancy are possible as in the case of the Arkenpliers and Wanda Firebaugh. It appears that either the Titanic powers unleashed by attunement may be an amalgam of the attuned person's personality/powers and the Arkentool or that only a person predisposed to a required personality and powers would be able to attune to a given Arkentool. (See Toolist below for third Theory). Arkentools can be used by those un-attuned to them for superior but relatively mundane purposes without Titanic powers. The mundane powers appear to also be related to the Titanic powers as such was the case of Prince Ansom and the Arkenpliers as he could destroy Uncroaked units with them, but Wanda Firebaugh, a Naughtymancer was able to unleash Titanic Uncroaked powers with the Arkenpliers upon attunement.
Toolists and Fate Perspective on Arkentools
Some individuals, notably Stanley the Plaid, ascribe to a belief in Toolism. That the Arkentools represent the will of the Titans themselves. As such, the claim attunement to an Arkentool surpasses Royalty in declaring a legitimate right to rule. Others, notably Wanda Firebaugh, see the Arkentools as players aligned to timeless Fate itself with attunement and the Arkentools as simply players in Fate.
The Arkenhammer
The Arkenhammer is currently attuned to and held by Stanley the Plaid, Overlord of the side Gobwin Knob. Stanley is attuned to the Arkenhammer and thus can cause it to express certain Titanic abilities that would otherwise be latent. The Arkenhammer can be used to
- "Rock Out". Rock music being the highest form of music on Erfworld, per Stanley, the Arkenhammer in his hands can be used as a faux guitar and cause a full heavy metal rock music sound to be created at tremendously loud volumes. Rocking Out may convey combat advantages and perhaps be used in Dance Fighting as well.
- Transmute walnuts into pigeons, (and Orlies into walnuts)
- Command Dragons
- Turn Dragons to the owner's Side
The Arkendish
The Arkendish is currently attuned to and held by Charlie, Overlord of Charlescomm. Unlike the other Arkentools, the Arkendish does not appear portable and appears to be installed in the Capital City of Charlescomm. Most the specific Titanic powers granted to the amalgam attunement of Charlie and the Arkendish are unknown, however, it is known they they allow Charlie Titanic Thinkamancy powers or powers to work with Grandiocosmic Strings that mimic Thinkamancy. This has allowed Charlie to be the "telecom giant of Erfworld" and this is the main thing Charlie used the Arkendish for http://www.erfworld.com/2009/10/summer-updates-%E2%80%93-046/ These powers are so great they even threaten the Thinkamancy organization of Great Minds That Think Alike.http://www.erfworld.com/book-2-archive/?px=/2011-01-07.png Part of the reason that the actual powers of Charlie and the Arkendish are not known is that some of Charlescomm abilities may stem from Archon Thinkamancy abilities or Charlie's own abilities inferred to be a benefit stemming from the Arkendish and Charlie has never confirmed any of this.

Known simply as Baltimore Bays during the 2007-08 season, the team defeated LAFC 4-2 on July 18, 2008, to win the U-17/18 title in Carson, Calif. The 2007-08 U-17/18 Player of the Year and current forward for USL PRO's Richmond Kickers Chris Agorsor started that season's final on the bench with a knee injury. But when LAFC scored the game's first goal, Agorsor came into the match and tallied a game-tying goal in the 30th minute.
2011-12 Regular Season: Baltimore Bays Chelsea won the Mid-Atlantic Division with a 10-1-1 record, outscoring its opponents 26-7 in 12 division games.

In addition to his duties as Director of Coaching for Baltimore Bays Chelsea, Nichols serves as head coach at McDonogh School in Owings Mills, Md., and as head coach of the Baltimore Bohemians of the USL Premier Development League.

Our Fitness Blog
How to Make Your Trip to the Gym a Success
Many of us are trying to live healthier and lose weight for the new year. This means a lot of us are starting or returning to the gym. This may be a daunting task for some of us. We may be fitness newbies that know little or nothing about a gym but do not worry, there is always help available. I have gathered a few tips to help you get through your trip to the gym and hopefully help you maintain your motivation for the year.
Avoid the crowd
Gyms are the most crowded in January with everyone trying to stick to their resolutions. In order to get the most out of your workouts you should try to avoid the times when the gym will be the most crowded, such as right before people have to be at work, lunch time and directly after work. Mid morning, mid afternoon and after seven pm would be the least crowded times and the best time to plan your gym visit. The gym will be less crowded, and you will be able to take your time and get through your fitness routine without all the pressure.
Do not adhere to the calorie counter on the machines
The treadmill, elliptical and other cardio machines are a great way to get your heart pumping and experience a great cardio workout. However, they are notorious for overestimating your calories burned. A heart rate monitor would be your best bet to count your calories burned. It calculates the calories you burn based on your heart rate and not the averages based on the speed of the machine, so the heart rate monitor is a more precise count.
Do not be afraid to ask for help
The staff is there to help you in any way you need, but you have to find the courage to ask. If you come across a machine you do not know how to use, then it is in your best interest to ask. You do not want to skip it or go ahead and use it. You may end up using it wrong and getting an injury, which can throw a big wrench in your fitness plans. The staff at a gym may know some tips and tricks to help you achieve your goals. If you are completely clueless about the gym, you should look into getting a personal trainer. You will learn new techniques, how to use the machines and how to monitor your routines. It can be a big push on the way to achieving your goals.
Know your limits
When you begin a new fitness routine, you will get to experience all the aches and pains that come along with it. This is a normal reaction to you challenging your muscles, but you need to know the difference between pushing yourself and pushing yourself too hard. You do not want to reach too far past your limits too soon. This can cause you injuries and delay or cause you to prematurely quit your fitness routine. You should take it slowly and gradually increase your routine to avoid injuries.
The gym can be a scary place for many people; however, it is time to overcome our fears. It is all in our own perceptions, and it does not have to be scary. All we need to do is go out there and conquer our fears to help us achieve our goals. If we really want to get fit and healthy, we will have to do some hard work. We need to do our research and ask for help when we need it. It is time for us to think positively and know that we can go out there and achieve our resolutions and make our trip to the gym a success.

FORT MORGAN — Deep in Colorado's agricultural heart, Republican Rep. Cory Gardner and Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet agreed Monday that immigration reform needs to be tackled now.
But the two were deeply divided in a batch of town hall meetings about how to get that accomplished.
"I don't know how you can be a capitalist and not support this bill," Bennet told local leaders gathered at Morgan Community College here as he asked for advice on how to get the Senate-passed immigration bill through the House of Representatives.
David Foy, a Washington County commissioner, raised his hand.
"What seems to be one of the deals … against it is carte blanche amnesty," he said.
Bennet told Foy the Senate bill wasn't amnesty and he wanted people to get away from loaded language like that. He noted that if undocumented immigrants "do a bunch of really tough things" over several years like learn English and keep a job, they can get a green card.
"And," he noted, "you'll be at the end of the line."
Sixty miles down the road in Gardner's home town of Yuma, a similar conversation was taking place with a handful of DREAMers — people brought into the country illegally by their parents. One of them was Jose Muñoz, a 25-year-old employee at Super 8 in Brush, who asked Gardner through a moderator on whether this group should be eligible for a path to citizenship.
Gardner declined to answer the question directly, saying he wanted to see the border secured first and certified by an independent entity like the General Accountability Office before starting conversations about the 11 million people living illegally in the United States.
"The most important thing is to start with border security and border enforcement," Gardner said in response to a question. "And then we can address the 11 million people who are here right now."
Muñoz, who graduated from an Eastern Plains high school and has attended classes at Northeastern Junior College, was unimpressed. He said he'd like to continue with school, but because he doesn't have a Social Security number, he can't access financial aid and while in junior college he didn't qualify for in-state tuition.
"He talked around the whole point," he said. "He wouldn't say whether he supports me or not."
Gardner confessed disappointment with his own GOP-controlled U.S. House of Representatives for not moving more urgently on immigration reform, particularly before the five-week August recess. He said he wanted to prove to his constituents that the House can "walk the walk" after the Senate passed its comprehensive bill earlier this summer.
Gardner said he used to favor a bigger approach, but now prefers smaller, bite-size bills on border security and a guest-worker program because that's the only way his colleagues will pass it.
The Senate immigration bill would help rural Colorado because it creates a new temporary worker program and, for the first time, helps the dairy industry because the program is applied year-round, not just for seasonal, summer labor.
Gardner also faced heat for the dozens of House votes on defunding or disbanding Obamacare. Two constituents told him they believed it was a waste of time because President Barack Obama would never sign it into law.
Gardner said he believed the votes were important on principle.
"It's a waste of time," said Mary Yonts, who drove to Yuma from Longmont for the hour-long meeting. "You have other things to do."
Gardner responded, "I don't think so."

Author Notes:
I have made Shepherd's Pie, Hunter's Pie, Cottage Pie, Hachis Parmentier and Chicken Pot Pie and all are delicious and they all have one thing in common, meat. Well, I have to reconsider that last statement because most of them contain potatoes too.
It just so happens I was craving a dish like this and it was one of my "three nights a week vegetarian dinner" nights. I have seen many vegetarian variations on these themes but think I have created a good one that I want to call Gatherer's Pie.
In reality I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about this dish. It was saying "make me". So I did and the result is oh so good.
With my Thanksgiving table being about a venison ham and a heritage breed turkey we raised this seems fitting.
This dish takes a little time to construct but it can all be done in advance or a little at a time. Make this dish fit your schedule. Like you could cook the oats the day before, the greens in the morning. Just use some common sense and it will all work out just perfect. This is a good place to practice your mise en place.
Oh and if you don't think it will be filling enough for any vegetarians that may join you at your table you can serve it with some side dishes and salads but I am guessing they won't walk away hungry.
Note: Oat groats are the whole oat grain minus the hull. Whole foods carries oat groats in the bulk isle. Don't try to substitute steel cut oats or oat meal it won't work. - thirschfeld

Food52 Review: Reading the title for this recipe, I really wanted it to be good. "Gatherer's Pie" sounds so homey and comforting, doesn't it? And this was, indeed, everything I hoped it'd be. Not only was it full of flavor (three distinct layers of flavor, in fact), it was full of texture. I really liked the top layer, which, with the cream and the nutmeg, was reminiscent of a bechamel. (I'm stealing this topping for my creamed spinach, by the way.) Oh, and isn't it a back-handed compliment to say of a vegetarian dish, "I didn't miss the meat?" Maybe it's because there's protein from different sources in this dish, but it is "meaty" and substantial; I really didn't miss the meat. I hope you have many more dreams like this, Tom. The only thing I did differently was to eliminate step 4; I cooked all the onions and garlic together, then divided them proportionately for step 2 and step 5. - betteirene —betteirene
Serves: 6
for the oats:
cup oat groats
cups salted water
cup yellow onions, minced
cup button mushrooms, cut into matchstick pieces
1 1/2
teaspoons garlic, minced
tablespoon flat leaf parsley, minced
tablespoons unsalted butter
kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
for the collards:
pounds collard greens, center stems removed, leaves rinsed and chopped
pound whole milk cottage cheese, drained
cup onion minced
tablespoon garlic, minced
tablespoon unsalted butter
cup heavy cream
cup whole milk yogurt
egg yolks
freshly ground nutmeg
- In a 3 quart sauce pan bring the water to a boil. Add the salt and the oats. Bring it back to a boil and then reduce the heat so the water stays at a low boil to a brisk simmer and cook the grains for 30 minutes or until just tender. Drain the oats.
- While the grains are cooking place a 10 inch saute pan over high heat. When hot, near smoking, add the butter, swirl it around the pan. It should just start to brown. Add the onions and mushrooms immediately and stir. Add the garlic. Stir. Let the moisture cook out of the mushrooms. Remove from the heat and once it has cooled add the parsley.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, once again the water should taste salty. Add the greens and stir to make sure all of them are submerged. Cook until just tender, about 3-5 minutes depending on how old the greens are and how big the leaves were. Drain in a colander and immediately rinse with cold running water turning the greens to make sure all of them have cooled. Once they are cool enough to handle collect them into a ball and squeeze as much moisture out of them as you can. Place the ball on a cutting board and chop them again.
- Place a medium saute pan over medium heat and add the butter. When it starts to melt add the onions and cook them until they just begin to soften. Add the garlic and stir. Cook about a minute more.
- Combine the greens, onion/garlic mixture and cottage cheese in a bowl. Season them with salt and pepper and mix until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Butter an eight by eight three inch deep casserole. Combine the oats with the mushroom mixture and spread it into the bottom of the casserole. If it looks dry for some reason add a tablespoon or two of water. Next spread the collard greens across the top packing them down a little. At this point you could place it in the fridge for a few hours, or up to a day covered, if you wanted or preheat the oven to 350 degrees and continue.
- In a mixing bowl lightly beat the egg yolks. Bring the cream to a boil in a sauce pan. Add yogurt and bring back to a boil. Immediately temper the eggs by adding a little bit of the cream/yogurt mixture and whisking them. Then add the egg mixture back to the sauce pan with the rest of the cream and yogurt. Place over low heat and stir continuously until it starts to thicken. It should look like thin pancake batter. Remove from the heat and stir in a pinch nutmeg. Pour over the top of the casserole making sure it is spread evenly. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until bubbly, golden brown and delicious.

- U.S. MNT Looks Ahead to 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying on Sept. 6 at Costa Rica; USA-Mexico, Presented by AT&T, to Follow on Sept. 10 at Sold-Out Columbus Crew Stadium
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (Aug. 14, 2013) – U.S. Men's National Team forward Jozy Altidore notched his second career hat trick and became the first USA player to score a goal in five straight games as the Americans rallied for a 4-3 victory against No. 13-ranked Bosnia-Herzegovina in the first-ever meeting between the two countries.
Down 2-0 at halftime, the U.S. scored four unanswered goals, getting the first from Eddie Johnson. Altidore scored the next three goals, including one off a brilliant direct free kick, to give the U.S. their first come-from-behind victory on European soil.
The U.S. also extended its record winning streak to 12 games, which is currently the longest string of victories in international competition. The USA's 13 victories in 2013 also tie a record for a calendar year, matching the win total in 2005 and 2009.
The U.S. MNT resumes 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying on the road when it faces Costa Rica on Sept. 6 at Estadio Nacional in San Jose. The game kicks off at 10 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on beIN SPORT.
Following that game the USA will then head into its quadrennial home World Cup qualifying clash with Mexico. Presented by AT&T, the USA-Mexico match on Sept. 10 will be played at a sold-out Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. The match starts at 8 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on ESPN, WatchESPN and UniMas. Fans can also follow U.S. MNT matches via ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and on Twitter @ussoccer.
Bosnia-Herzegovina built a two-goal lead in the first half, starting with Edin Dzeko scoring off of his own rebound in the eighth minute. Dzeko stayed onside with his initial run up the middle, dribbled to his right, hesitated and then hit a right-footed shot that U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard saved with his body. The rebound immediately ricocheted back to Dzeko, and with Howard positioned well off of his line, Dzeko's left-footed shot bounced into the back of the net.
Though the USA saw some improved possession after the goal, Bosnia added to its lead when Zvjezdan Misimovic crossed the ball from the right to Vedad Ibisevic and he headed home in the 30th minute. Ibisevic cut in front of U.S. center back Geoff Cameron and drove his well-struck header past Howard, who partially tipped the shot with his glove.
Johnson cut into Bosnia-Herzegovina's lead in the 55th minute as Michael Bradley started the attack with a pinpoint deep ball from midfield to Altidore. The spinning pass held up perfectly for Altidore, who was able to tap it with his left foot just in front of charging Bosnia-Herzegovina goalkeeper Asmir Begovic providing Johnson with an open net for the easy finish from near the top of the penalty area.
Altidore did the rest for the USA, starting with a whipping left-footed shot inside the right post to tie the score at 2-2 in the 59th minute. Fabian Johnson set him up, nutmegging the defender to dish to Altidore on the left side before the U.S. forward lashed his shot just inside the right post.
Altidore notched his second goal in the 84th minute with a free kick over Bosnia-Herzegovina's six-man to give the USA a 3-2 lead. Altidore's powerful shot hit the upper left corner of the goal, giving Begovic no time to react.
Two minutes later, Altidore struck again as Bradley slipped a perfectly weighted ball through for him near the top of the penalty area. Altidore split the Bosnia defense and fired to the right side of the net to complete the hat trick. With the three goals, he now has 20 career goals for the National Team and sits all alone in seventh place all-time.
The hat trick was the 16th in USA history and the second this year, following up Chris Wondolowski's three-goal effort during a 6-1 victory against Belize on July 9. Altidore's other career hat trick came against Trinidad & Tobago during a 3-0 victory in FIFA World Cup Qualifying on April 1, 2009, in Nashville, Tenn.
Dzeko scored his second goal of the match in the 90th minute to cut the USA's lead to 4-3, but his header inside the far right post was not enough for Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Three players made their U.S. MNT debuts on Wednesday. Twenty-year-old John Brooks earned the start at center back. Aron Johannsson, a 22-year-old forward, was a second-half substitute for Eddie Johnson in the 63rd minute. Johannsson's application to FIFA for a change of association was approved Tuesday, and the former U-21 Iceland player created two shots on goal in the 74th and 77th minutes against Bosnia-Herzegovina. Irvine, Calif., native and 20-year-old forward Bobby Wood also made his first U.S. MNT appearance when he replaced Brad Evans in the 87th minute.
Howard was solid as always, making three saves and earned his 50th career victory, improving to 50-25-15 all-time. He is second only to Kasey Keller (53) in career victories.
Additional Notes:
- The U.S. MNT improves to 13-3-2 on the year.
- Jozy Altidore is just the third player to score two career hat tricks for the U.S. National Team, joining Landon Donovan and Peter Millar.
- Goalkeeper Tim Howard made his 91st career appearance to move into sole possession of 17th place on the all-time caps list ahead of John Harkes (90 games from 1987-2000).
- Howard also is nine caps shy of becoming the third goalkeeper in U.S. history to reach 100 appearances.
- John Brooks, who made his U.S. MNT debut Wednesday, is a dual citizen of the United States and Germany. A total of four dual nationals started the match: Brooks, Mix Diskerud, Fabian Johnson and Jermaine Jones.
- Brad Evans has started at right back for five matches in a row for which he was available, beginning with the 4-3 victory against Germany in the Centennial Celebration Match on June 2 at RFK Stadium.
- Eddie Johnson's goal was the 18th of his National Team career.
- With his start Wednesday, Eddie Johnson now leads the U.S. MNT with 13 appearances in 2013, one ahead of DaMarcus Beasley (12). Johnson has 57 career caps.
- At the start of the second half, U.S. MNT head coach Jurgen Klinsmann brought in Edgar Castillo for Mix Diskerud and paired Eddie Johnson with Jozy Altidore at the front of a 4-4-2 formation.
- Under Klinsmann, the USA is now 3-2-1 in Europe-based games. The U.S. extended its unbeaten streak in Europe to four games. The stretch also includes a 3-2 victory against Slovenia on Nov. 15, 2011, a 1-0 win against Italy on Feb. 29, 2012, and a 2-2 draw against Russia to cap off the 2012 campaign on Nov. 14.

"God Rest Ye, Merry Hippogriffs" was a Christmas song presumably about Hippogriffs. In the Christmas holidays of 1995, Sirius Black was so happy to have everyone at 12 Grimmauld Place, headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix for dinner that he could be heard singing it at the top of his voice.[1]
Behind the scenes
- The song's title appears to derive from the Christmas carol "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen."
- It is not clear whether the carol is an "official" wizarding one or just an improvisation of Sirius's.
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (First appearance)
Notes and references

Google I/O – The Hackathon AftermathElmer Thomas
While I did not attend Google I/O, I had the great pleasure to attend two hackathons that week. The first at Google's SF offices, then at Mashery's headquarters. In both cases, the people, ideas, venues and final projects were all top notch. Good times!
#iohack 2012 Pitch Night with Startup Weekend
With a packed house of 275+ attendees at Google's offices in SF, several SendGrid'ers (Ian Douglas, Seth Ammons and Mike Rowan) took a break from Google I/O to join the festivities. After being treated to good eats by Google's own chefs, we witnessed an unprecendented Startup Weekend style startup pitch night. Instead of the customary 54 hours, 3.5 hours were available before the final pitch.
Taking things up another notch, a Google all-star panel of judges were selected, including Kevin Rose, Don Dodge and Chris Messina; whom I just had to photo bomb … blame it on the Google juice :/
My favorite pitch (and overall winner) was Teen Lock, a device that doesn't allow phone calls or text messaging when driving; aimed at teenage drivers and their parents.
Video of the final pitches:
After a day of rest in between, the hackathon began at Mashery's HQ, where we witnessed hackers take ideas and create working demos.
#GTUGsf's After-I/O Hackathon (Google I/O 2012)
With the energy from Google I/O pouring over, prizes galore and hackers abound, this was destined to be a hackathon for the history books. In addition, there were also several Code Labs on HTML5/CSS3, newly released Google+ APIs and Rapid Prototyping. Plus, we learned about a cool tool under development from Mashary called I/O Wraps; which auto-generates native-language client libraries for your API!
Plus, dancing robots!
In the end there were 12 hacks, which thanks to Hacker League, are available for you to check out over at the Hacker League web page. After some tough deliberations, the overall winner was selected … drum roll … Bazinga!
The project that won the SendGrid spot prize was T2Biz, whose team leader was only 16 years old! A close runner up was Challenges4Change.
Also, check out the nicely done Storify of the event from Mashery.
Between events, SendGrid hosted a SendGrid After Dark event with a few Google I/O attendees from around the world. We ended the night at Starbucks with a late night hacker talk. Make sure to follow us on Twitter so you don't miss the next impromptu SendGrid After Dark event.
You can check out all the photos I took at our Facebook page. Don't hesitate to tag, comment and share if you spot yourself or someone you know. Let's make it interesting 🙂

Luxury High End Carry On Luggage
Read More!
Wheeled carry-ons come with two wheels (pulled along behind you) or four. (For rolling along beside you and adding maneuverability.) Internal packing features vary widely, but no matter which carry-on suits you best, careful packing and planning should allow you up to a week's worth of travel clothing - and getting you out of checked baggage fees for larger suitcases.
Luxury carry-on luggage is the promise of superior durability and the pleasure of travelling in high style. Frequent travelers want to replace luggage as often as they fly, nor will you want your luggage to fall apart in the middle of a big trip. Though all carry-ons are fundamentally a box with wheels, high end carry-on luggage is worth it for its dependability and repairability.

Following the Buffalo Bills 20-13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts Sunday, Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson made some controversial comments with respect to coach Chan Gailey allowing quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to make more play calls from the field.
On Monday, Chris Brown on www.BuffaloBills.com noted that Johnson amended his comments about play calling, quoting Johnson as saying, "but what I meant to say was audible, and giving Fitz the ability to audible a little more."
In reacting to Johnson's comments, Bills running back Fred Jackson, on Monday's "The Fred Jackson Show," told co-host Bob Koshinski "anytime you lose a football game we worked so hard to win, you're going to be emotional. Stevie is emotional, and usually vents."
Jackson went on to say, "I would agree with his comments after talking with Stevie. It was about making audibles. ... As a veteran in the game, that's something you want to do, to help you in a situation." Jackson said he felt the situation could have been addressed differently.
Koshinski recaps the Colts game on his website, www.allsportswny.com.
Jackson was joined by rookie wideout T.J. Graham on the show. They discussed what's next for the Bills as the team looks forward to its home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday at 1 p.m.
The public and members of the Depew High School cheerleaders joined the Buffalo Jills in the Eastern Hills Mall studio audience.
"The Fred Jackson Show" airs Monday night and Tuesday morning on WBBZ-TV. Reservations to attend and watch from the audience can be made online at www.wbbz.tv.

Lincoln Police Participate in Polar Plunge 2010
Members of the Lincoln Police Department are participating in the Law Enforcement Torch Run Polar Plunge 2010. The event is scheduled for Saturday, February 27, 2010, at Holmes Lake Park, S. 64th Street and Normal Boulevard. This bone-chilling event invites participants, also known as plungers, to collect pledges from friends and family as encouragement for jumping into icy waters in the middle of winter. All proceeds will benefit individuals with intellectual disabilities through Special Olympics Nebraska.
The plunge starts at 11 a.m. The first year the fundraising event came to Lincoln, 50 people plunged, helping raise $3,000.

Mayor's Office
The Lincoln Energy Challenge will hold a light bulb swap Saturday to replace regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and to educate renters on energy efficiency. The swap will begin at noon with volunteer training at Kaplan University, 1821 "O" St.. Volunteers will work in central Lincoln apartment buildings until about 4 p.m. An estimated 30 volunteers will be trained on the safe installation of CFLs. Landlords will accompany all volunteers into rental properties.
The goal is to install at least 2,000 energy efficient CFLs, which use one-fourth the energy of incandescent bulbs and can last up to six times longer. Organizers estimate the replacement of 2,000 bulbs could save landlords and tenants up to $7,500 on energy costs per year and have the same environmental impact as planting 2,000 trees.
In addition to receiving the free lighting upgrade, residents will receive educational information on the Lincoln Energy Challenge. The Challenge, which ends in August, is coordinated by Mayor Beutler's Cleaner Greener Lincoln initiative in partnership with several community organizations including Stronger Safer Neighborhoods, Community Action Partnerships, AmeriCorps and Lincoln Electric System (LES). Residents have several options for participating in the Challenge:
Everyone who pledges will receive a free "Powerkit!" full of information, ideas and resources. The website also lists easy and cost-effective improvements and will have information on upcoming workshops and programs. Those who share their progress with the campaign are eligible to enter weekly drawings and win prizes donated by local businesses.

But most importantly maybe, Barton Seaver discusses all the issues that come with the way so much of our fish and seafood gets to our supermarkets and tables. He offers some suggestions to be more gentle to our planet and understand what we can individually do to eat more ethically. Simple changes like thinking of eating fish seasonally or eating smaller portions of fish with plenty of vegetables around it are workable solutions to becoming better eaters.
To win your very own copy of this cookbook, simply let me know if there are any changes you have made to your diet to eat more ethically and responsibly. Leave a comment on this post or write a comment on Chocolate Shaving's Facebook page with your answer. You can write a comment on both platforms and your name will be entered in the contest twice. The contest ends on October 2nd, at midnight. The winner will be drawn at random and you must be a Canadian or American resident to enter. Good luck and I look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks! I don't eat fish often and when I do its a small portion. My favorite fish is wild cod, with roasted tomatoes and garlic with sqeezed lemon on top when serving. Oh salt and pepper too.
We also eat fish when my husband catches wild trout. And it only a few times a year for this. "For Cod and country Cookbook giveaway"

The biggest changes my husband and I have made to our diet is to source local ingredients and farm fresh free range eggs. Eating more fruit and veggies is becoming a great focus in our weekly food choices.

Not only have copper prices not kept up with the move in equities, they've headed in the opposite direction (Charts 1 & 2). Not surprising. Developments for just about all areas of copper fundamentals we follow have been bearish.
Chilean output for 2012 was 3% higher than the previous year — for the most part, a disappointment. Early forecasts for production growth of between 5% and 10% did not materialize. This year's early forecast calls for 3% growth in 2013. The first reading of the year certainly made that estimate look conservative. Output for January was 8.6% higher than last year. Mining of higher ore grade and newer mines starting to realize capacity were reasons cited for the large jump. Both of which would augur well for continuing improved output growth.

With 250 km of pistea - Serre Chevalier is one of the Alps biggest ski areas.
There are 13 villages, spread over 4 ski area areas: Briancon, Chantemerle, Villeneuve la Salle and le Monetier les Bains.
It's really a great mixture of skiing : high mountains (reaching altitudes of 2380 metres) combined with peaceful skiing in the alpine woods with plenty of gentle slopes for beginners and the younger members of the family. A total of 115 trails!
With its superb forests of centuries-old larches and a huge variety of pines, the ski area offers extremely varied and athletic skiing and boarding through valleys and coombs, from tree-lined pistes to wider more open runs. In this high-mountain environment you can ski or board from one slope to the next, from cosy runs through the woods that meander through and between the trees and each other. Also on offer in Serre Chevalier are some exceptional off-piste runs where the more extreme riders will feel at home. A good skier in Serre Chevalier can cover more than 6000m vertical metres of descent in a single day. Cross-country skiers are also catered for in Serre-Chevalier. The resort has a 'real' cross-country track that winds its way along the bottom of the valley, running through the villages and larch forests, and which holds a quality label from the French cross-country skiing association.History has left Serre Chevalier with a rich heritage and it acts as a beacon for the cultural identity of the region. Among the visible signs of this identity are the guardian-like 15th century clock towers built in the Lombard Romanesque style that appear in virtually all of hamlets in the valley.
The Serre Chevalier's ski resort owns a huge snow making network to guarantee good ski conditions right to the end of the season, a vast 146 hectares of the ski area is covered by snow making facilities. Serre Chevalier itself is a long south-facing valley between the Col du Lautaret and Briançon with several villages and hamlets dotted along the way, ranging from the ultra modern to the most traditional. Residence du Temple is based is Briancon with access quick access into the skiing via the Prorel list.
Latitude and LongitudeLatitude : E 06° 34' 18'' - Longitude : N 44° 56' 45''
Resort lift highest point2830 m, The Yret pike (Le Monetier les Bains)
Permanent: 18,000 from Monêtier to Briançon (including all the townships)
The name Serre Chevalier comes from the ancient 'Oc' dialect of southern France in which 'serre' meant a hill or mound and 'cambeou' was a flock… And it's not difficult to work out the rest. Skiing was very much in vogue in the period after the First World War and Briançon was already attracting the world of show business. The Second World War would put an end to all that…
Opened in 1941, the Chantemerle 'téléphérique' or cable car was Serre Chevalier's first ski lift and was the longest ski lift in Europe. By the 1950s the resort was really starting to take off.
The name Serre Chevalier was finally adopted in 1968 and, with the inclusion of Mônetier les Bains, in 1984 the resort of Grand Serre Chevalier was born. In 1990 it was joined by the completely new Briançon ski area, and today the resort as a whole is known as Serre Chevalier Vallee. Above Serre Chevalier rise the mountains of the Ecrins National Park and the area's main asset is its climate, which is both Mediterranean and alpine in influence. With its protected environment and its clean and pure air, far from the traffic and the pollution of big cities, it has become a haven of health and well-being for its visitors.
There is a friendly atmosphere in the Guisane valley. This small valley opens its doors to tourists, without losing a sense of its traditions. Its permanent population are mountain folk at heart with an affinity for the south, a friendly smile for their visitors and a real sense of 'well-being'.
In the Guisane valley you're not just a tourist, you're a guest. As the winter winds blow in from the east, huge drifts of snow build up here. Yet the bad weather doesn't stay for long and as the clear blue skies return. It is mostly north-facing and drops down towards Briançon just after the Pic du Prorel (2572m).
Serre Chevalier is also blessed with natural hot springs that have been bubbling away in Le Monêtier les Bains (Serre Chevalier 1500) since the dawn of time.This is currently the only resort in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region able to offer its customers a naturally heated swimming pool. The water rises to the surface at 44°C and cools as it is used in the outdoor and indoor pools (36°C) as well as individual tubs. It retains its healing properties and is beneficial in the treatment of rheumatism and skin conditions, and most of all it's a great way to relax and recover at the end of the day. At night and during the day, there is nothing nicer than taking a relaxing dip in a hot tub while taking in the magnificent views of the surrounding glaciers, peaks and larch forests.

GeoX that DuckTales' adaptation of Carl Barks' "The Golden Fleecing" (UNCLE $CROOGE #12, 12/55-2/56) is "not a bad episode on balance." The changes made to the original story are fairly substantial, but, while there's certainly plenty of silliness on display (for my money, there's more at the back end of the ep than in the beginning), enough of the source material is present to make this a pretty entertaining watch, both for comics devotees and for folks unfamiliar with Barks' story. The main problem is one we've seen before: in order to squeeze a "it's not nice to steal!" moral into the story, adapters Ken Koonce and David Weimers are forced to twist a main character out of character. Here, Scrooge's simple interest in making and owning a gold coat is turned into a lifelong obsession with finding the Golden Fleece. The way in which K&W handle this touchy matter is the main reason why, despite my general enjoyment of the episode, I don't count it as among the series' better Barks adaptations.
GeoX describes the mindset displayed by Scrooge here as evidence of his "corruption," which I think understates matters. For one thing, the word "corruption" often suggests the pernicious influence of some sinister "external stimulus" (as psychologist Ludwig Von Drake might put it). Think of the "outside force" that suddenly seemed to possess Doofus when he got the "diamond doughnut" in "Superdoo!". Even the "Gold Fever" that nearly doomed our heroes in the Valley of the Golden Suns displayed some of the earmarks of a "communicable disease" of sorts; why else would the normally level-headed HD&L suddenly join Scrooge in searching out treasure at all costs? Scrooge's Fleece fixation, by contrast, is far more troubling precisely because it seems to be so ruthlessly "localized." The sheer number of times that Scrooge reiterates his need to have the Fleece suggests that the poison of irrational desire had taken root in his soul long before the events of this story. (I get the impression that Scrooge's father -- or, in the unfortunate terminology of the later "Once Upon a Dime," his "McPapa" -- kindled the flame by reading Greek myths and legends to his son, much as Scrooge reads from the book to HD&L here.) The consequence of this constant harping (sorry...) is that Scrooge's sudden change of heart at episode's end, like Doofus' abrupt turn to the dark side in "Superdoo!", simply doesn't ring true. I sincerely doubt that Scrooge would have been able to suppress such a powerful lifelong ambition so quickly, much less advertise the fact with a grandiloquently melodramatic speech. About all that was missing was Scrooge apologizing to the Harpies "on behalf of all rich Ducks everywhere."
Thankfully, the general tone of "Fleecing" is kept light enough that the leadenness of Scrooge's reformation doesn't seem quite so onerous. We start off with a bang (and a chuckle) as Von Drake commences his only appearance of the series, and a memorable one it certainly is. It's a funny thing about Ludwig: most of his WDTVA appearances were... how shall I put this... undertaken under less than promising conditions (Bonkers, Quack Pack, Raw Toonage), yet they always seemed to work out rather well. Doesn't that suggest that making him a quasi-regular member of the far superior DuckTales cast would have been a good thing? A REALLY good thing, even? Of course, some care would have to have been taken to clearly distinguish him from Gyro Gearloose, casting him instead as the DT equivalent of Mr. Whoopee, "the Duck with all the answers." But if the series had incorporated "real" Von Drake and a late-80s, legwarmer-less version of Quack Pack's "reporter Daisy Duck" into its cast, then imagine what might have resulted.
(GeoX) If the catalyst for the action in [Barks'] original is somewhat contrived, this one takes contrivedness to a whole new level. Get this: Launchpad claims that his plane was messed up by flying bird-women (depicted after the manner of that one Twilight Zone episode, sort of); then, Scrooge is reading a book about the golden fleece to HDL and sees a picture of a harpie (no longer "larkies"), and thinks HOLY CRAP! Those things Launchpad saw must be harpies! Which must mean the golden fleece is real! That's some Glenn-Beck-level logic right there.
I think that you're overstating things a bit at the end there. Scrooge says, not once but twice, that if the Harpies are real, then "the Golden Fleece might be real too." MIGHT. So he doesn't completely commit himself.
I don't doubt that the opening Black Sea sequence was influenced, at least in part, by that plane trip taken by the unfortunate Mr. Shatner... the difference being that animation allows for Launchpad's reactions to be much more exaggerated than even Shatner's.
(GeoX) [Launchpad says] "Those are some of my best crash [scores] yet," whereupon HDL hold up numbers like Olympic judges--pretty amusing bit of absurdism.
It would have been even funnier had the numbers on the cards been "color-coded" to match the ID's of the Nephews holding them.
I think that they were simply trying to put in a version of the "Seikral/Larkies" gag from Barks' story. Personally, I thought that this bit was rather clever, and no more "nonsensical" than the echoes in Barks' story coming out backwards.
(Greg) So Launchpad is asking about Scrooge's accuracy in [LP] looking for an excuse to crash a plane. Somehow; I'm 50/50 on this. On the one hand; Scrooge does have a point. For a guy who crashes as often as LP does; it does make a strong case for doing it on purpose. On the other hand; I love it when he screws Scrooge in crashing the plane so screw Mr. McD.
This sudden concern about being a "crashaholic" is a bit strange in view of the fatalistic view taken by Launchpad in "Top Duck." I thought that destiny drove LP to crash? Perhaps, like Sen-Sen in "The Duck Who Would Be King," he has suddenly come to the subconscious that "it never hurts to help [destiny] along"?
(Greg) Scrooge has to lean forward harshly to get the old red ribbon book and that rips the arms of his coat which he swears in DUBBED SCOTTISH STYLE (Curse me kilts!) and blows off disposable coat makers.
And, of course, the coat never shows any damage again. Given that Scrooge would have gone after the Fleece regardless of whether or not he actually NEEDED a new coat, this incident seems entirely pointless.
Based on this figure and the one cited in "Duck to the Future," either Launchpad got better at avoiding crashes as he aged, or he simply started flying less: 4,892 - 3,876 = 1,016 means that LP crashed barely more than a thousand times between "The Golden Fleecing" and "Future," in which he's reached old age. Of course, the "future" in "Future" was a possible "future," so that larger figure may not be accurate.
(Greg) Scrooge and the boys manage to get out of the cave (huh?! How in the world did that occur?) and they get on the Bicycle Chopper (it was just sitting there in plain sight all this time? I hate magical objects) to flee. The nephews of course don't leave. Why? Because they have to save Launchpad and lose the Golden Fleece silly. Scrooge of course blows him off because it's every Fleece for himself and that gets the boys mad and asking questions about Scrooge's sanity. I think Scrooge has Gold Fever again and it's a mild form that is undetectable. The harpies then fly out of the cave along with Anna holding Launchpad. WHAT THE HELL?! How did she get into the cave?! Logic break #4 for the episode and the first one I don't accept. Man; why does TMS still have Wuzzles syndrome?
K&W may have been so eager to get to the climactic chase scene(s) that they failed to think the logistics of these scenes through.
Next: Episode 47, "Down and Out in Duckburg."

One morning 13 years ago, I brought my young son to a storefront children's gym in Culver City. Ezra had recently been diagnosed with autism, and someone — a doctor or a therapist — had suggested that Dave Rabb could help.
I don't remember what I expected, but not the man I met: Dave was short and sturdy, in his 60s, with a Brooklyn accent and an attitude to match. I told him I wasn't sure Ezra would be able to follow directions — at 4, our son was remote and distracted and rarely made eye contact — but that I could help.
Dave didn't need my help. He told Ezra to leave his shoes in a bin near the door, then led him onto the carpeted gym floor. Over the next hour, I watched from a bench as this man with his gravelly voice directed my son through an obstacle course of ramps, ladders and slides. To my astonishment, Ezra listened. Following Dave's directions — firm, direct, precise — my son made his way around the perimeter of the room with quiet intent.
For another child that might have been a simple feat. For Ezra, it seemed nearly miraculous.
