Today was the day for a neat ski / hike idea that I'd been thinking of for a while. Hike up to the fire tower at Luskville (probably the most 'mountainy' hike in the Ottawa area, and then cross-country ski all the way back down along the ridge road to its start at P3, not far from downtown. It would be a fairly long ski, at 30km, with an extra 2.5 km of steep hiking at the start.
Roland, Jenn and Caroline joined me on this local adventure. We left a couple of cars at the endpoint at P3 in downtown Gatineau, and then drove for a long, long while (or so it seemed, since we realized we'd have to ski back all this way) to the start point at Lusk falls.

The Eardley Escarpment
Getting to Lusk Falls
We chose to forego snowshoes, since the trail was reasonably trodden, the hiking distance was short, and we didn't feel like lugging snowshoes on our backs for the 30km ski. The trail up to the fire tower from Lusk falls is steep - about 750 feet of vertical ascent in less than 2km. Well, steep for Ottawa, that is!

Starting off on groomed trail
We hit the ski trail shortly after 1pm, and started our ski. The trails were freshly groomed and the snow conditions great. The air temperature was just below freezing. We stopped at McKinstry hut, and then again at the nice little bench-lookout along trail 1 (the main xc ski trail - aka ridge road).

What I want to know is:
1) is it understandable?
2) have I made any mistakes anywhere, whether of content or method?
3) is my style too awkward (I know I am bookish)?
4) have I concretised enough, too much, or not enough?
5) are there any other references to the works of others I ought make?
6) have I over-referenced?
7) any other comments people care to make?
It's long - grand total is just over 10,000 words. I have broken it into five separate posts in this thread, which match the five sections in the chapter. They are: formation of the concept of value, prerequisites of value, measurement of value, objective values, and non-objective values.
One last point: in the prerequisites of value I specify four. Prima facie Miss Rand specified three, but she does mention the fourth in a way later on in the Objectivist Ethics, as does Dr Buechner in his six-part lecture series. All I did to get the fourth was take a point from Carl Menger's prerequisites of something being a good and realised that this point could be generalised to all value after including consideration of what Miss Rand and Dr Buechner said.
Two people have expressed interest when I have asked them about it, so here goes...

These cookies are delicious! I like soft cookies so I used melted butter vs. softened. The cookies don't spread out which is what I wanted! These are great!

Loved this recipe - not too sweet (especially since we didn't roll them in sugar), great peanut flavor using generic chunky peanut butter. Despite using room temp butter and reusing baking sheets while they were still very warm, these cookies did not spread at all - we made them drop-style but next time will flatten a bit, too. Quick, no-fuss recipe that's going at the top of my go-to cookie list!

I think these turned out really good! My husband enjoyed them. I used natural PB, Splenda & Eggbeaters. I did have to flatten them quite a lot to get a not-so-round cookie but other than that, it was easy to follow & came out great. I didn't roll them in sugar, though--thought they'd be sweet enough with the choc chips! Thank u for sharing!

I found if you chill the dough about 2 hours and roll quickly in the sugar I got a beautiful cookie. Put dough back in fridge between batches. I rolled heaping teaspoons and got 28 cookies. I also cooked them at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes. I wouldn't forgo the sugar roll because that is a touch that make these cookies different for a peanut butter one.

Minimum Wage Increase Could Go to Voters
The state Senate approved a 2013 referendum on raising the minimum wage and tying it to yearly increases
A proposal to raise the state's minimum wage could bypass Gov. Chris Christie and go directly to voters.
During Monday's Senate hearings, Senate President Steve Sweeney of Gloucester County received preliminary support for a resolution calling for a constitutional amendment to allow for an increased minimum wage and tie future yearly increases to national economic data. The initiative would be placed on the 2013 ballot for voter approval.
Sweeney's proposal, which was approved by committee 7-6, would effectively remove Christie from the approval process. Christie had previously indicated he would not sign a bill that included automatic indexed adjustments, according to a report on nj.com.
"For years, New Jersey has assigned a dollar amount to the minimum wage that is woefully inadequate," said Sweeney, in a press release. "In fact, it is a complete failure. According to a 2011 analysis by the Office of Legislative Services, among the 307,000 workers in New Jersey who earned among the lowest hourly wages, nearly half worked full-time and one-quarter were parents. Imagine trying to feed a family, pay the rent and keep gas in the car on less than $16,000 a year."
Voters would have to decide if they would want to raise the state's minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $8.25 per hour and allow future yearly increases to be tied to national economic data, called indexing.
The minimum wage in New Jersey has been the same as the federal minimum and 23 other states since 2010. A minimum wage earner who works 40 hours grosses $290 per week, according to a report by CBS. Senate Democrats have estimated that if the wage had been indexed annually since the state began statutorily setting the rate in 1968, New Jersey's minimum wage today would be $9.20.
Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver introduced a bill in May that would raise the minimum wage to $8.50 per hour and include annual adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index. While her bill was approved in May by the full Assembly, it has not gone before the Senate for a vote.
"It's the right thing to do," Oliver told Bloomberg Businessweek of a higher minimum wage. "It's why I continue to want to see the Assembly- approved bill sent to the governor so we can see what he decides and determine the next step."
Currently Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Missouri, Montana, Vermont, and Washington all have their minimum wages increased tied to the national economic data.
A Philadelphia Inquirer poll of 604 likely voters revealed that 76 percent of respondents supported raising the minimum wage but were split over approving the change through legislation or a constitutional amendment.
Sweeney's proposal requires legislative approval to get the question on the ballot and voter approval at the polls. It will next go before the full Senate for further discussion.

My 1st thought was that its great people need to make more money even if the only jobs that are hiring are min wage jobs. But then I thought about it, This is just a way to get people off assistance. With 10% of unemployment( and how many no longer can get unemployment benefits) Now have to go on gvmnt. help just to get by. I know about 10 yrs ago I was a single mother of 3 children 8,11 & 13... I was making less than 10$ a hr & was unable to get any type of help .. thankfully that is not my situation now,but can't imagine what parents, single or not what they have to make just to keep a home, feed their kids & keep gas in their car ..... MOST younger hard working adults that I speak to all say the same thing,, that in the past 4 yrs they are either making the same amount of $$ & a lot are even making less while everything else is being increased. NJ min wage should be at least 10$ a hr so that people can survive here... maybe that why so many young couple are moving out of state...

Young people SHOULD move out of state to places that have more jobs and a cheaper cost of living. That's one of the great things about our economy. No one is forced to live some place they can't afford.
1:57 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
but as a government leader wouldn't your goal want to keep people in your state not make them want to move to another state?
12:26 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Gov. Christie does NOT care in the least about minimum wage workers. All Gov. Christie cares about is Tax Cuts for the Already Wealthy and the Top Wage earners. Gov. Christie has already cut the taxes for the Super wealthy in NJ by 10%____ saving them thousands of dollars in NJ taxes yet he has not approved even 1 cent per hour more for minimum wage workers.

everything should bypass governor and government and go straight to voters through referendums. Give all the facts without oppinions of media propagandists and take a test to make sure you know what facts are. Then have polls check id and vote. Don't know facts no vote. This is what we need to get big money and all it's lies and corruption out of our decisions. The future is now. Let's stop repeating ancient history folks.

You could thank people like Sweeney, Menendez, Obama, etc. for the need for the minimum wage. Thanks to those poor, unfortunate illegal aliens; wages have been driven to artificially low levels. Hey, they only do jobs that nobody wants. That's why we have zero unemployment here. We have so many people working that we have to sneak in criminals to take up the slack. If the govt. did their job instead of doing a job on us, what would our unemployment rate be? How many jobs would be paying more than minimum wage? It is amazing how the people who have created the problem complain about it. And of course, who do they expect to pay for their policies? I would like us to pay these pols the minimum wage for the job they are doing but it is way too much. I would love to see other voter initiatives too. We could start with truly balanced budget every year, all tax increases (including fees), election of all levels of judges, and the heads of the Assembly and Senate voted upon by everyone in NJ. Sound good?

The unemployment rate is 25% among teens and young adults. Does anyone believe that suddenly more of them will be hired with an increase in the minimum wage? Hiking the minimum wage will discourage businesses from hiring young workers, and it will discourage companies from expanding operations in NJ.
2:00 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
They are ready are discouraged from hiring teens & young adults because grown adults have to take those jobs , either to supplement their lack of increase in pay ( no raises) OR that they were laid off the job they had & have to take any job just to pay their bills

I own a small business. I'm not rich by any means. I have a house, a car, college tution for 2 kids, taxes, insurance, etc.... If I pay an extra $1 per person per hour, two things will happen 1) I will hire less people and work more hours myself and/or 2) charge my consumer more for my products. Believe me that is what all small businesses will do. So good luck on finding a job then.
5:48 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
@ warren YES thats whats going on now.. in most business. Glad to hear that you are going well in this economy, many are not, If you are able to pay for tuition for 2 kids , while you may have to work hard, you are better off than MOST ...

There is not much money to be made in retail. Dollar Tree stores pay minimum wage and hours are low ,15 hours a week. Sometimes you are lucky to score a 20 hour work week. A cashier has to also work the floor. And the raises barely exist. Workers that are working a year and longer have not received an increase, they are afraid to speak up.No air conditioning and heat, Workers deserve the increase. We are tired of the run around. Please pay us our deserved increases!!!
3:33 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
The unintended consequence of the government setting the wage scale for employers is that employers who are able to leave the state will leave, those who can close up shop will do that, and those who have to stay in business will either trim the work force or hours or pass along the increased cost of doing business to the customer - or both. Yeah. Sounds like a plan.

anyone complaining about increasing minimum wage should try living on it for a year with a family of 3 kids. That's all I have to say.

wow is that the best you,ve got "opinionated" now youre the grammar police.i have to laugh i "shied away" from the illegals issue. i wasnt asked about the illegals that are stealing all of our jobs. i mean i,m sure opinionated and bob here have a lot of friends who clean toilets and wash dishes for $3 an hour.as far as illegal immigration goes there are 1 million less in this country than there were last year. obama has been deporting them in record numbers (according to the u.s customs website)as well as making sure the ones that are here arent criminals which was the opposite of what reagan did when he gave 4 million of them amnesty without checking any of them for criminal records. opinionated to learn more rent a copy of scarface with al pacino. i think you,ll get a better picture that way. you gotta love bob "why not give them $20 an hour?' . just pull any number out of you know where bob. actually the big back breaking raise would be closer to 50 cents an hour which means the raise would have to happen around 15 more times to get to 20 bucks. i figure around the year 2060 or so. that horrible obamacare what a bummer it was so much more fun telling someone who had lost their job and just started a new one sorry you get bupkiss for a pre existing condition like diabetes or heart trouble. as well as all those kids we could have kicked off their parent's insurance. bob's plan where they go to the emergency room with a flu and get a $1200 aspirin is the better way to go.

If you guys up the minimum wage you'll be making about half of what i was making an hour at starter level at a simple retail job when i was 16. The cost of living where I'm from is about the same as in NJ, the businesses manage to pay salaries and have enough people on the job without going under. Jobs used to pay decently over here too but then I guess companies got greedy and now the work force suffers. Having to work 2 full time jobs to survive is sad.

A job is better than no job don't you agree. Do you really expect the country to survive by borrowing money to hand out to people? Do you think taxpayers in NJ should fund pensions for 1% or use that money to help create jobs???
9:11 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
I do agree that a poorly paid job is better than no job, but there really is no reason that you should have to choose between being paid less than what you can survive on or a decent amount of jobs. The country won't have to borrow money for that, and I'm not talking about giving handouts just raising salaries based on economic data. That won't kill businesses, and it's also time for some good laws protecting workers. This country was in a great place then started going backwards because some people wanted to make piles of money on the expense of others. Time to try to restore things no?
10:02 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012

Okay don't pay a decent minimum wage. Those that are trying to support themselves or a family and can't do it on 8 bucks/hour will end up on public assistance. You'll end up paying for that anyway. If they can't afford insurance, they'll go to the emergency room. You'll end up paying for that too.

You are the fraud who cannot answer how to cut the $1.5 trillion annual deficit. Keep up the lies there Spooner. I have the facts. how does cutting taxes increase the deficit anyway? Spending too much creates deficits. come on Spooner you are the top poster in PPB, what's the answer to balancing the budget? Show us how smart you are

@ Laura if you're working 35-40 hrs @ 8 to 10 per hour you're making too much $$ to get public asst.. if the government raises the min wage its a quick way of getting PPL off asst. bcz with I believe 46 million americans on Food stamps or unemployment running out & NO jobs out there to support a household, the Gov't needs to figure out a way to get this PPL off asst. & this is the only way they can do it.
oh bummer
11:19 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Is Spooner smarter than a 5th grader
Question 1 - If Obama spends $1.5 trillion more than he takes in, how much money does he have left?
Question 2 - If the answer to question 1 is there is no money left, where does it come from?
Question 3 - If the answer to question 3 is borrowing from CHINA, then why did Obama say doing that was irresponsible and unpatriotic in 2008?
Question 4 - If Obama does what he said is unpatriotic and irresponsible, then Obama is also unpatriotic and irresponsible
Bonus Question - Why doesn't OBAMA work with a balanced budget? Toms River does. The schools do. Ocean County does. NJ Does.
oh bummer

Typical liar. Hey spooner PROVE IT!!! Are you saying that tax cuts and not too much spending are the cause of deficits??
11:59 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
oh bummer- cut the spin. . .and don't try to play word games. You know and everybody else who has common sense and understands economics knows that when Reagan came in with his tax reform(ACRS & MACRS). . .deficits started to rise and doubled under his watch, with his trickle down theory, promoted by Jack Kemp and David Stockman. Top tax rate went from 70 to 50%.
oh bummer
12:08 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Oh Spooner man up. That is not true. In fact, tax revenues under BUSH were the highest ever. Tax income under Reagan grew as did SPENDING! Sadly, SPENDING always went higher and according to you that was Congress' fault not the President's right? So it wasn't Reagan, it was the DEMOCRATS fault all those years. Which is it? Congress or President again?
This is why we need a BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT!
Here's the facts.....you can spin it all you want.
What this shows is SPENDING INCREASED and look at those PROJECTED DEFICITS. How can OBAMA justify spending $4.5 Trillion by 2017 - that's another increase of $700 B we just don't have.

oh bummer- there you go again. . .Hey it's the Congress that appropriates and spends the money...but you blame it on Obama. . .go ahead!
Now here's a shocker. . .time for the rich to anti up!!
oh bummer
11:51 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Congress really? So Bush wasn't responsible like Obama claimed he was??? Another lie eh? You are such a tool. Everyone, Spooner has exonerated Bush for the debts he piled up and the spending. It wasn't his fault. From 01-06 it was the Reps but the Dems took over in 2007 - that included OBAMA and MENENDEZ. SO OBAMA IS STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEBTS!!!
The rich do ante up, it's ante not anti, that would mean be opposed.....anyways, the 10% top earners as the document I posted shows pay 71% of all federal income taxes. The top 25% pay 87%.
Don't you get tired of lying and being wrong?
Answer these since you cannot answer the other questions.
Do we spend $1.5 trillion more than we take in?
Do we spend more in 2012 than we did in 2008?
Do we spend more on Medicare than it brings in?
Here are the answers so you can get 100%. table S4
12:23 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
oh bummer- there you go again with the word spinning. . .now I didn't say Obama wasn't responsible. . .did I? You gotta calm down a little. Remember Presidents sign the bills??. . .You want to blame it on Obama. . .go ahead. . .but there all in on it...the (R's) and the (D's) I'd love to see the Republicans and those old southern boys(the Dixicrats) swallow $9T in cuts to the budget. . .It ain't goin happen! You got to get out there to some of those southern states ans see all those historial tax dollars at work down there?
oh bummer
12:28 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
So that's your solution? and all along I thought the debt and deficits were bankrupting our country but you and Obama don't care because no one wants to deal with it. Put our heads in the sand is the answer it appears. I had hoped with all of your posts and comments you had more to offer than that.
12:29 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
...and another thing: that taking over in 2007 is misleading. The Republicans still controlled the Senate with the filibuster. . .so yeah they took over the House, but the filibuster could stop any legislation. It wasn't until Al Franken got elected that they were able to defeat the filibuster, but that didn't last too long. Kennedy died and Republican Scott Brown was elected in his place.
oh bummer
12:38 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
For goodness sake, another excuse.
On March 23, 2007, the Senate voted 52-47 to approve a $2.9 trillion FY 2008 budget resolution
Democrats in the House and Senate announced plans to combine the legislation into one spending package, tying funding for education, job training and other social services with money for defense and veterans.

think of us all as if we were on a ship in a dangerous sea. We are dust specks in the universe fighting for pride, vainity and survival, i suppose. What really bothers me, is that we all don't see. That the great judge above, judges us only by our love. .From one to another, for we are from the same father and mother. It's in our dna, to go a new way. Because as little ants, we'd crap our pants. if we actually each took the weight of this mess, for our souls only test. We'd all soon see, that it's up to just you and me. To save this silly species, from turn our futures into feces. But you all want to be the last standing, Great wealth and power you keep demanding. Till the bitter end, you'll all still defend. your right, to flex your personal might. to be the best there ever was. till we all are just never was. So go on and keep repeating history, For mankind's fate to you will always be a mystery. For you see the winners last stand, will be the end of man.
12:08 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
George- I would agree with you about repeating history. There's this economics Professor who I guess doesn't fit in with the main stream mouthpieces by the name of Richard Wolf, who compares the Great Depression to what could happen here in more militant terms. . .
oh bummer
12:09 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
What do the Muslim's say we should do? I'm sure Obama is interested
oh bummer
12:16 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Quote from Spooner
"Hey it's the Congress that appropriates and spends the money"
Dems controlled House and Senate Jan 2007 - Jan 2011
They are responsible for all debts from 1/1/07 to now
Obama was a SENATOR in 2007/08
Obama is responsible
Pelosi is responsible
Reid is responsible
Menendez is responsible
12:50 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
...I'm trying to tell you that's a matter contention. . .of who controlled the Government. As for Pelosi: I'm no fan of her. . .and I know your going to find this hard to believe. . .but neither was Obama. She was a pain in his butt. You have to understand that party labels go only so far. The House is or was her bailiwick...just like the Senate is Reids. You like to make party associations. . .but they don't always materialize...as much as you would like them too. You don't seem to understand Washington politics?

Do you all wanna ask questions? or anwer them? We must answer the call. For our country and world may fall. If we just sit and type, Believing all the media hype. Why don't we all make a stand? Would we actually lend a hand? To those we've judged beneath us. With out all the class warfare fuss? Are you worth more then me? in the end we all will see. That there is a higher judge. That will make us lose all the grudge. of comparing one to another. for in the end we will be all brothers. muslim jew and christian too. Does that include even you? what of all the country predujice? Doesn't that just add to all this mess? Why should we be seperated so? We must know it's not the way to go. For these kingdoms and empires have always collapsed. because we've let our better judgement lapse. Us see we've all been misled. By the propaganda we've been fed. to think our kingdom is the best. no other kingdom do we give rest. And what do we get for all this country pride? it would seen to be mankind's suicide. We all know those in power wont be fighting or dieing. so why must we keep listening to them lying? to kill our fellow common man. to fight for the riches of the land.. So go on and choose your chosen few. As you sit upon your confession pew. Those you judge better to lead, will only cause us all to bleed. it's round about the same old way. to live to die another die. under their guidance with persicion missiles, to reap what we sow of throns and thistles. please spell check

Oh sure, I have to pay additional taxes, my business revenues have been slightly down over the last 4 years, my take home is down and now you want me to give pay raises to unskilled labor in my office? GET REAL!!!!!
8:38 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
You know, I've been reading some of these posts and they made me think. First, some say raising the minimum wage will get people off of relief. Won't that discourage even more from seeking employment? Second, won't it further encourage some to hire more illegal aliens? It's all a simple matter of math. If we were to send ALL of the illegals packing, the job market would open up with a lot more openings which would alleviate our unemployment situation and cause a greater demand for OUR workers which would raise wages. I still believe in a minimum wage but would prefer to see people make more. Some criminal proponents will tell us, "oh, you can't get rid of all of them because there are too many". One cure would be to declare EVERY BUSINESS who hires them a "criminal enterprise". The govt. would seize all of their assets. And to do this whether the papers "looked OK" or not. I realize we will all have to pay more for goods and services but at least it will go to a better place. It's all basic math and Business 101. Higher demand for workers will create a higher wage.
oh bummer
8:45 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Good work! Getting the illegals out of the system would save us all on costs for healthcare and education which they now take up. Less uninsured driving accidents. Less crime. This too would help AMERICANS!
George Clark
6:06 pm on Thursday, October 18, 2012
Go and try to hire an illegal alien for minimum wage. Most wont work for less the 10 and hour. That's a fact. Unless of course you starve them till the point of desperation like we are being done to. Kiley what's your business? What do you make and what percentage of total take do you take home? Just curious since you have unskilled office help for minimum wage I hope your not making alot. Can't be that hard if your unskilled force can do it. Medicare billing? Give us a hint so we can judge your true worth not hiding behind this so called freemarket.

London Welsh have signed hugely experienced back-row forward Adam Balding in what is a boost to their survival cause in the Premiership.
Balding has been on trial with the Exiles and has impressed coach Lyn Jones after featuring for the top flight newbies in the Aviva A League.
The 32-year-old came through the Leicester Tigers Academy, making his first-team debut for the club in 1998. He went onto win four English titles and two Heineken Cups during his 84 appearances for the club, including three tries.
He left Welford Road in 2004 to join Gloucester, where he spent three years and ended a solid debut season as club captain. After 60 appearances for the Cherry and Whites a three month loan spell to Leeds Carnegie during his final season at Kingsholm was made permanent in 2007.
He remained at Leeds until the end of the 2007/08 season, making 11 appearances, before joining Newcastle Falcons, where he spent the next two seasons.
In 2010 he joined Worcester Warriors and helped the club win promotion back to the Premiership, playing in 22 games in the club's Championship winning season. After an injury disrupted second season at Sixways he re-joined Newcastle and the club's fight against relegation. In total, Balding made 46 appearances for the Falcons.
Balding has represented England at every age-group through to England Saxons and has also played for England at Sevens.
"This will be my fifteenth season as a professional rugby player and the fire inside to play the game burns just as brightly as when I started out with Leicester," said Balding.
"I took some time away from rugby at the end of last season to recharge the batteries, but I'm delighted to be back and joining up with Lyn Jones and London Welsh. I'm very grateful to get this opportunity and I am now really looking forward to the challenges ahead."
London Welsh head coach Jones added: "It's a very good signing for us. Adam brings a wealth of experience in the Premiership and will be a huge addition on the training ground as well as on the pitch. It works well for both parties."

Amstar Gas Station Will Replace Harder's Shell Station
The former Harder's service station will be transformed into a larger convenience store that features a coffee counter and walk-in coolers.
The former Harder's Shell station is going to be transformed into Milwaukee's first Amstar gas station and convenience store. Harder's Shell station, located at 303 E. Hampton Road, closed on Oct. 1 after 29 years in business at that location, and before that, 22 years at Lydell Avenue and Hampton Road. Fahim Beg, the gas station's new owner, plans to convert the three-bay service center at the west end of the building into a convenience store that will include a coffee counter, walk-in cooler, cash register and a bathroom. The convenience store will not serve liquor or beer. Beg originally wanted to be open 24 hours a day, but the village's standard retail operating hours prohibit businesses from being open past 10 p.m. Beg agreed to …

"Fits fantastic, looks lively!" 04/04/13
I bought the Covert to expand my warm layers collection. This is a great casual and technical fleece. I use this fleece as outerwear in fall and spring, but it must be worn beneath some kind of wind protective shell in the winter. The colors are vibrant and bright so you look good whether you are hiking out on the trail or lazing around the house. Doesn't get too hot indoors. Will most likely buy another when new colors come out. Very cute, very comfortable fleece.
"This jacket is the bomb!!!!" 02/12/12
I fell in love with this jacket the second I put it on! It's comfortable, keeps you warm, plus I got tons of compliments on the color (I choose purpura - love this color!!) I highly recommend!! Great fit & comfort!
"Highly Recommended!" 12/22/11
Love this. The small fits perfectly - I'm 5'7" and 120 lb. I got it on sale, but now that I've been wearing it for a few days I can definitely say it's worth the full price.The only tiny issue I've noticed is that the size zippers are protected by a fabric that's a little bit stiffer than the rest, so when it's fully zipped they buckle a little oddly. Otherwise, the sleeves are the perfect length and the back comes down to the top of the pockets on my pants, so not much of my back is exposed when I bend over. It also looks nicer than most fleeces - it's got a texture to it that almost looks like a fuzzy thermal in person.It's exceptionally warm and well structured. Definitely recommend.
"Incredible, & Way Beyond Expectations" 11/10/11
Bought for layering and found it to be so much more! Extremely warm, fits perfectly, and I always get compliments when I wear it as it is stylish and of very high quality. My boyfriend said if I was a jacket, I would be this jacket: refined, & elegant, yet practical and sporty, and very attractive! This is my first fleece and I don't believe you could find one more ideal that the Covert Cardigan! As for pilling on the inside collar, it take about two minutes to pull off the pills. No biggy! I washed it on warm, then dried it on delicate for 20 minutes, then let it hang. Perfect shape. Love it!
"Awesome fleece" 09/17/11
Love this fleece!! It'll keep you toasty warm and keep you looking stylish at the same time - how can you go wrong?? Layer a tee underneath it in warmer weater, a nice wool base layer in crisper weather or a soft shell over top when it gets nasty and you've got a hard working fleece layer! Like most Arcteryx, I found it best to size up in this fleece as it is a little short and a little on the snug side however I like to layer so a larger size tends to work best anyways. Wears well - no piling.
"Expensive, but totally worth it." 12/25/10
Love. Love. Love. So soft and warm. I'm 5'3", 105 lbs and got the XS. It fits great, even with my monkey (aka too long for my body) arms. I was surprised because most of my jackets are a little short in the arms. This one fits great though!
"Great Warm Sweater!" 11/07/10
I work as an environmental educator and have spend my days hiking outdoors with kids in New England and the Midwest and this is a really great product! I use this sweater three seasons out of the year and is really great while outside for long periods of time. It is much warmer then it looks and is thin enough for me to fit under my thick fleece jacket that I'm required to wear for work. Also it is great because it really conforms to your body! All around this is a versatile sweater that is both good looking and extremely functional!
"I love this cardigan! It sure doesn't look like one. Much better looking." 09/04/10
I have eyed this cardigan for quite some time and FINALLY tried it on. Wish I had done this before. It's a keeper. I love the style and it's cozy. The cardigan can be worn with jeans, casual pants, skirt, etc. and not look out of place. Good job Moosejaw!!
"I got this for my mom and my sister and they both love it and have been looking to get another." 08/21/10
This product is great and looks good. Arcteryx is extremely helpful. One of the jackets that we currently own got a hole in it within the first week, and Arcteryx replaced it quickly and without much issue. This jacket is a keep and worth having multiple have.

By Jeff Taylor
Latvia are not the hosts of the EuroBasket, but the large contingent of fans that have come to support them in Lithuania suggests otherwise.
Travelling Latvia supporters is nothing new.
At the last two EuroBaskets in Spain and Poland, Latvians were everywhere.
The fact that Latvia's capital of Riga is about an hour's drive from Siauliai makes it even easier for their fans to watch their team's Group B games.
France coach Vincent Collet dismissed the idea that Latvia, his team's first opponents, would be big underdogs.
"Two years ago (in Poland), we had a very difficult game against them in the first round," he recalled.
"Once again, the gym will be crowded with Latvian fans.
"We're close to Lithuania so we know it will be a very tough game for us."
Janis Blums, a 29-year-old veteran in the youngest Latvian side ever to appear at a EuroBasket, a squad that has an average age of less than 23, says that backing should not be underestimated.
"Our fans are coming, so it's like six players," he said.
"I hope they will try to help us.
"It's a good chance for us to show what we can do with this young team."
The Young Bertans
The baby of this "young team" is Davis Bertans.
Just 18, Bertans' career could be about to take off.
In June, the Indiana Pacers selected him in the second round of the NBA Draft.
The San Antonio Spurs then worked a trade to get the rights to Bertans but he'll spend the upcoming season with Union Olimpija.
Bertans has been playing a lot of basketball.
At the U19 FIBA World Championship staged in his own country at the end of June and early July, he averaged 15.3 points and 6.4 rebounds for Latvia.
"I've had just 13 days off this summer," he said.
"I've been practicing and playing."
The EuroBasket is a completely different level, though.
"This is probably the biggest challenge I've had, to come here, knowing even if I play only two or three minutes, to play against stars from Germany (Dirk Nowitzki and Chris Kaman) and France (Joakim Noah, Tony Parker and Boris Diaw).
"That's incredible."
This Latvia team expects to have some fun in Lithuania.
On the one hand, there is no pressure because they know few outside of their own country expect them to go far in the event, especially as they find themselves in the tournament's 'group of death' with Serbia, France, Germany, Italy and Israel.
On the other, the Latvia players seem to have a chip on their shoulders.
Just as Bertans and his teammates finished practice on Monday, Nowitzki and Germany walked into the Siauliai Arena to start one of their workouts.
The young Latvians paused for a moment and looked at their future Group B opponents and at Nowitzki, the NBA Finals MVP of the Dallas Mavericks, before exiting the floor and going to the locker room.
Bertans says he is excited to be able to compete against the likes of Nowitzki, but he's not awestruck.
"Actually, a professional basketball player doesn't think about that," Bertans said.
"Because the first thing, you must respect the player but at the same time, must be aggressive and play as you would against any other."
Good Basketball Stock
It's not surprising that Bertans found basketball as a profession.
"My father (Dainis), he was a professional basketball player," Bertans said.
"When I was born, me and my brother were around basketball all the time."
Bertans' brother, Dairis Bertans, is 21 and also plays for the national team.
Davis says it's something he's very happy about.
"It makes it easier because we can go home and he can explain everything," Bertans said.
"He has more experience."
Bertans, like Blums, is looking forward to the support he and his teammates are going to get when they face France on Wednesday in their Group B opener.
And not all the fans, it turns out, will be Latvian.
"I know that even Lithuania fans will be in the gym and cheering for us," Bertans said of Latvia's Baltic brethren.
"Lithuania fans cheer for us when we don't play them."

By: Valarie D'Elia
Recently, YNN's Valarie D'Elia visited her 100th country, which made her eligible to join the Travelers Century Club, a club of people who have been to 100 countries or more. She filed the following report on the club.
About a year ago, I reached a personal milestone. On a cruise of the Dalmatian coast, I visited my 100th country as defined by the Travelers Century Club.
"Montenegro absolutely counts, ever since the break up of Yugoslavia," says Christopher Hudson of the Travelers Century Club. "The important thing is you now qualify to be a member. It's terrific."
So it's official. I am eligible to be a member of the TCC, a club for people who have visited 100 or more places on their tally. It's a great way to hang with like-minded people such as Hudson, who has ticked off 249 of the 321 countries, territories, protectorates and islands on their list.
"This is an opportunity to talk to people who share the obsession," he said.
"I've actually been to every country in the world except for three," said Laurie Campbell, who's visited 287 places. "I haven't been to Libya, Somalia, and I haven't been to South Sudan."
At a recent New York chapter meeting, we in attendance had a total of nearly 3,000 so-called "countries" between us, as well as a slew of travel tips to share.
"The biggest thing before you go somewhere, review it online and see what people have to say," says Scott Swanberg, who's visited 161 places.
"I try and be safe with my money," Campbell says. "I keep my money on me in my bra. That way, if someone takes your purse, you've still got cash.
"I don't take taxis," said Inna Bakker, a provisional member. "I take public transportation."
"Even if I'm tired I try to force myself to walk, do a little exercise, get into the new time zone as quickly as I can," Hudson said.
With all due respect to Groucho Marx, who wouldn't belong to any club that accepted him, I prefer to join one where membership comes with compliments.
"You certainly don't look older, Valarie," Hudson says. "You look wiser, let's say."

You can vary the flavor by using different barbecue sauce varieties or by trying different nuts in place of the peanuts.
A dash of ground red pepper (cayenne) or a few drops of red pepper sauce turns this into Spicy Chex Barbecue Snack Mix.

Sallal Grange hosts Ickes and Hurst in rare West Coast concert
December 5, 2012 · 3:36 PM
North Bend's Sallal Grange will host a concert by acclaimed Nashville musicians Rob Ickes and Jim Hurst, in a rare west-coast appearance by the pair. The show will start at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 6 at the Grange Hall, 12912 432nd Ave. S.E.
Many people are familiar with the flatpicking and guitar antics of Hurst, and resophonic (aka dobro) guitar hero Ickes is a musical pleasure. Both musicians can play any style, from bluegrass (of course) to swing, jazz, blues and other acoustic music. The concert will include some of their original music, as well.
Two-time IBMA Guitar Player of the Year, Hurst was raised with a guitar in his hands, with early influences from flat-pickers such as Tony Rice, George Shuffler, Doc Watson and Clarence White. The finger-style playing of Merle Travis, Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed provided a turn in the road for him. Those varied influences and a broad vocal range have given him a signature sound. He has performed with Trisha Yearwood, Sara Evens, Claire Lynch, Missy Raines, David Grisman, Holly Dunn, and many other artists.
Ickes is a Grammy recipient and founder of the award-winning bluegrass group Blue Highway, and the eclectic jazz group, Three Ring Circle. He was named this year's International Bluegrass Music Association's Dobro Player of the Year, an award that he's won 14 times, making him the most awarded instrumentalist in the history of IBMA. Ickes has performed and collaborated with a wide range of artists including Alison Krauss, Patty Loveless, Merle Haggard, David Lee Roth, Willie Nelson Dolly Parton, Mary Chapin Carpenter, David Grisman, Earl Scruggs, Ricky Skaggs, and many others.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $15. Food and beverages will be available.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.sallalgrange.org or at the door. For more information, visit www.sallalgrange.org.

pretty sure porn is legal to make in most places in the US. but prostitution is illegal in most.
< |
Philadelphia or bustin All About Brad by GuigarThursday, January 19, 2012 - 01:53 PMSince the Los Angeles city council voted to mandate condom-use in porn films, there has been talk of the adult-film industry leaving California. Unfortunately, the only other state in which filming porn is legal is New Hampshire. And it's way-too-cold enough up there even when you keep your clothes on. So that leaves the porn industry in a quandary. Since the preference is to, "shoot" (as they say in the movie business) without condoms, I'd like to advance the radical theory that Philadelphia should become the new heart of smutty cinema. (1.) Sure it's illegal. So is parking in the median in South Philly. Fuggedaboutit. (2.) Oh gosh, where to start? Vince Fumo supposedly strong-armed donations for charities that he allegedly benefitted from personally. And didn't Milton Street force his way into a Democratic primary -- to run against his own nephew -- despite a lack of the proper amount of ballots and a possible residency dispute? I guess what I'm saying is, Philadelphia is the perfect home for an industry that seems obsessed with big dicks. (3) What's porn without bad 70s funk? "Bow-chicka-wow-wow"...? We wrote that! (4) The city's motto: "The city that loves you back" really means something now. (5) The Catholic Church has announced the closings of 48 of its schools in Philadelphia. That's gonna mean a surplus of schoolgirl uniforms. (6) Bondage experts? Look no further that the thousands who spend every morning tied up on the Schuylkill Expressway. (7) Parodies are hot in porn right now -- with moves like "Not Bewitched," "Not Three's Company," and "Not Married With Children." Meet our football team, "Not going to the Super Bowl." (Part Eight.) (8) John Bolaris is available. (9) Chopped beef, onions and cheese. Now that's a threesome. (10) And I'm not just talking about straight porn, either. This is the City of Brotherly Love. I think I speak for all Philadelphians when I say welcome -- welcome! -- to Our Fair City. And don't worry about the Business Privilege Tax. You guys are used to getting screwed, right? posted Friday, January 20, 2012 - 07:17 AM (#60886)

My source for that fact was the L.A. Times [latimes.com]. Perhaps they're wrong and you're right.

Lovelyish reader perfectisfakke writes:
In February, there was a slew of movies that I was dying to see. Nobody wanted to see them with me, so I had the choice of going by myself or waiting to see them on DVD. I decided to choose the latter, half because as my brother always says "never watch a romantic comedy in theaters," and the other half because I wasn't totally sold on the idea of seeing a movie by myself.
Now, I'm not a stranger to being alone in public places, especially now that I'm in college. For example, the first week of my internship the summer after freshmen year, I ate by myself in restaurants, pretending I had important business on my phone, until I started making friends with the other interns. That counts, right? Then, when I moved out of the dorms and into an apartment, I began walking to the grocery store by myself every now and then.
Now that I have a car, I find myself going out alone even more. I found that being alone is nice, as it gives me time to focus on myself and not worry about other things. On the other hand, sometimes I wish I had someone there with me, so that we can discuss the pros and cons of my possible purchase at Macy's.
In the future, I will not let the fear of being alone prohibit me from doing things I want to do.
Are you comfortable going to places alone? Do you have any tips for someone who is not?
For years, I believed that wanting to be alone was strange. From those denim ads with laughing teenagers running around partying non-stop together to Cosmopolitan articles telling me how to best avoid being alone (as though it were a disease), I felt like being alone when you're young had to be a strange affliction that nobody my age would ever want. I would always make sure I had significant others so we could things together and friends to go out with. During my freshman year of college, I would rather not eat at all than actually have to eat in the cafeteria all (gasp!) alone. If I was walking on my own, I would feel so uncomfortable that I would feel obligated to call somebody, anybody just to avoid that awkward silence with, of all people, myself.
But then I got a car and, like you, I began going out alone even more. I actually started enjoying it–I would listen to my music as loud as I wanted, think about what I needed to do that day, focus on my own thoughts rather than anybody else's. Sure, it's nice to have somebody else there to talk to, but it's also nice to be at ease with your own singular presence.
Plus, I learned something that has actually become incredibly lovely: people respect other people who are comfortable with being alone. Granted, there will always be judgmental people who think that being alone is a socially negative thing, but they tend to be simply insecure with themselves. But most people, I've found, actually think it's really fantastic when others are okay with being on their own.
For example, I went through a breakup in January. I had been with that person for nearly two years and we had been somewhat of a "power duo," always together even when it wasn't that pleasant. After doing the whole "rebound" thing briefly, I actually took myself out for a few dates at night. I would order myself something fancy and a nice cocktail and just enjoy my own company. Weirdly enough, the servers and bartenders always thought this was great (especially when I took myself out on Valentine's Day) and would often give me extra food or free drinks. It never seemed to be out of pity, just a sort of "high-five" for independence.
Plus, you never know who'll you meet while out alone, which makes it even more exciting if you're at a restaurant or lounge or even the grocery store on your own.
My best tips for anybody who is anxious about going places alone:
- Remember, there are tons of other people in your vicinity who are also alone. In fact, there are plenty of times when the "alone" people outnumber the "together" people.
- Nobody–at least not anybody who matters but, generally, nobody–will judge you for being alone. And the more confident you behave, the less likely even the most judgmental of fools will notice.
- Seeing movies with other people is incredibly overrated. Not only do you have to worry about whether they'll talk during the movie (my biggest peeve), you also have to share snacks. And snacks, my friend, are far more awesome when they're all yours.
Do you need advice on something? What's making your head spin? Relationships? Shoes? Waterproof mascara? Drop us a line!

Shrimp Pasta with Veggies
If you've been here at One Artsy Mama very long, you know that most of what goes on here is artsy-craftsy. Kids' projects, "big girl" projects, jewelry, and such...not usually recipes. But I was thinking that today I'd share with you one of our favorites. Yes, part of it comes from a box. And I am okay with that. It comes with the territory when there's a three year old in the house. But it's really tasty, colorful, and healthy, and I thought you might enjoy it too.
You need:
Pasta Roni Butter and Garlic
{You could use any type of pasta/sauce you like, really, but this is our standby. Hubby is lactose-intolerant, so our options are limited, but we both love the flavor of this one.}
1 lb. raw shrimp {we use 31-40 count}
butter, margarine, or spread
minced garlic
yellow and red bell peppers
yellow squash
1. Thaw and peel shrimp. Add butter and minced garlic {I don't actually measure, I just put in a good sized glop of butter and shake the spice container about 25 times}.
2. Chop vegetables. Add salt and pepper and a small amount of butter.
3. Prepare pasta according to package directions and add a few shakes of minced garlic.
4. Saute shrimp and vegetables in frying pan until shrimp are pink {usually takes 4-5 minutes}.
5. Combine shrimp and veggies with pasta and serve.
This is one of our absolute favorite meals! Besides the taste, one of the best things about it is that it only takes about 10 minutes to cook. I usually do the prep work, like thawing and seasoning the shrimp, while Little Crafter is napping, so when hubby gets home, I just put the water on to boil, chop a few veggies, cook it all up, and we're eating in no time! Hope you enjoy it too!
Meanwhile, since I don't have a lot of photos for this post, I thought I'd leave you with a few of Little Crafter enjoying the fall weather!
I. love. this. kid.

While the apartment on Ethan Allen Parkway was vacant, three other apartments in the same building were occupied when one tenant called 911 at 5:15 a.m. Tuesday after hearing a smoke alarm go off in the empty apartment.
The families in the three apartments left the building, but they were allowed to return a short time later after firefighters extinguished the fire.

These are building thoughts on possible changes to be made on Winter forecast. We will have some type of update before the holiday
Hail and high winds will be the primary concern today as storms fire up in the Northeast.
Widespread severe weather shook the country the last week, with multiple violent tornadoes. More unsettled weather will target Northeast into Thursday, with a much cooler weekend. Meteorologist Justin Povick has the details.
Dangerous and damaging thunderstorms will push through southern New York Wednesday afternoon, while new storms develop over Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania with hail and wind.
People from around the U.S. are gathering together to help clean up Moore. Plus, we look at the worst allergy cities for baseball fans. Valerie Smock has your top headlines.

Three exotic supercars. One of the most spectacular natural wonders in the West. Our Red Rock Experience brings them both together in a 30-mile round-trip tour from Las Vegas to the stunning Red Rock Canyon. Just like that, your exotic car dreams are coming true.
During this all-new driving experience in Las Vegas, you'll arrive at our starting location just off the Las Vegas Strip. After a short safety briefing from our instructors, you'll drive three high performance exotic cars on an open road driving experience through the historic (and jaw-dropping) Red Rock Canyon - rotating through each supercar and returning to your starting point.
Don't take our word for it! Find out why World Class Driving is the highest rated driving attraction on TripAdvisor:
Our exotic car tour fleet contains the latest models of the hottest supercars on the market, such as the 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia, 2011 Lamborghini LP570-4 Spyder, the 2011 Audi R8 V-10 and many more. (We reserve the right to substitute a comparable supercar from our fleet in the case of maintenance.)
World Class Driving is the original exotic supercar experience. Since we launched in 2006, over 25,000 participants have trusted us to provide a memorable and thrilling exotic car driving experience.
The Red Rock Experience is available for $499 (plus a $6 BLM Park Use fee). Bring a guest/non-driving passenger for an additional $99. Or, bring an a second driver for an additional $149; you'll share the driving. (We suggest a spirited round of rock-paper-scissors.)
In addition, most other providers offer solo experiences. Our experiences are designed to comfortably allow you to bring a guest passenger on your experience. Your guest will ride with you for the entire experience. Share your passion!
You may also share the drive with someone else for an additional fee. During the shared drive, you and your friend will "split" the driving, with Driver 1 driving two vehicles, and Driver 2 driving the remaining vehicle(s). In the case of a three-car experience, we recommend a spirited round of rock-paper-scissors.
Don't take our word for it. Read the unbiased reviews from previous Red Rock Exotic Driving Experience participants.
"This was awesome! These Exotic Cars came with a real personality and I loved the Jaguar more than any others! Roger and colleagues gave very clear instructions during the drive, which made the drive very comfortable. I would rate this as my No. 1 experience in Vegas!!"

"I liked very much, it was an amazing experience, and I`ll come back when I have the opportunity, to go for another round."
Diego F. Fogaça, Curitiba, Brazil (May 19, 2013)
"First off, let me say,that upon coming home, my dakota RT felt like a SLUG!!! Those exotic cars of yours just blew my mind!! It's simply amazing how superior the exotics are! If I was going out tomorrow to buy one of the three that I drove it would have to be the JAG!!!! In a nutshell, it had the best of all driving worlds!!!! ELEGANCE, COMFORT, RAW POWER to scare yourself with!!! Summing up, it was worth the cost to be the boss of the open road, even for a short time, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Michael M., Springfield, USA (May 18, 2013)
"When I was asked if I wanted to gamble in Las Vegas my immediate response was NO I'd rather "drive". And drive I did! I had such an awesome time experiencing a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Audi A8 V10 and Jaguar. The crew was so informative and helpful, they made the experience great. My "need for speed" has been satisfied...at least for now. Thanks for such a great time."
Pamela C., Wadsworth, USA (May 17, 2013)
"I did the Red Rock Exotic experience as a birthday gift to my self. It was a last minute idea and so glad I did it (and the primary reason why I went to vegas for my birthday). On the day of the drive, the staff as extremely helpful and courteous. The instructors (Jimmy and Matt) were great. Above all the choice of driving through the Red Rock canyons is cool as well. The cars I got to drive were the Audi R8 v10, Lamborghini LP560 and the "sleeper" of the bunch a Jaguar XKR-S convertible. Overall I would definitely do it again and am recommending it to all my friends."
Jason G., Morgantown, USA (May 14, 2013)
The Red Rock Exotic Driving Experience will give you a new respect for the capabilities of the supercar fleet. Here's a typical event schedule. Your actual event times depend on which time slot you reserve:
The experience begins with a welcome at the World Class Driving Dream Garage, where you'll check in.
You'll participate in a short safety briefing. We'll introduce our WCD driving professionals, who are dedicated to making your experience unforgettable.
We'll take you on a short shuttle ride to our starting location just east of the famous Red Rock Canyon west of Las Vegas, Nevada.
After a short instruction on the operation of the vehicles, you'll take a seat behind the wheel of your first supercar, and follow the lead car through a carefully selected desert road through the Red Rock Canyon area. At regular rest stops, you'll stop and be directed to your next car, rotating through each of the three cars over the 30 mile road tour.
Bring your camera, as we'll make sure to point out some particularly photographic sections of the route.
Our complimentary shuttle will return you to your hotel or the Dream Garage.

A couple quick comments on the speculation around today's proposal
The offer put forward by the Union is said to be five years in length. A term that should make hockey fans all across the world, roll their eyes in disgust. The thought that the NHL could be back in this position again in just five short years is ridiculous. Everyone involved should want a longer term deal at this point so hopefully that element is quickly dismissed by the Owners.
Also, according to Donald Fehr, the latest offer is a significant move in the Owners direction and may actually represent the best offer the players are prepared to make. That kind of talk is ridiculous in a negotiation because you know both sides still have more to give. I mean, I understand why he has to say BS like that but it obviously isn't true.
The two sides are expected to be back at the table around 1:00 PM. We'll have a better idea where things stand shortly after that.
