Andy Willsheer is aptly named, as it took the sheer force of his mighty will to keep snapping photos of this Mustang funny car as it hurls towards his camera. His great photos and video of the accident below.
As you can see in the video below, the Mustang hits a patch of oil and starts to roll towards the barrier and Willsheer. Being either fantastically brave or harboring a death wish, he keeps shooting as other photographers back away. Thankfully, only the driver's pride was seriously hurt.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- About 49,000 cases of breast cancer and 43,000 colon cancer cases yearly in the United States are linked to a lack of physical activity, researchers say.
Senior epidemiologist Christine Friedenreich of Alberta Health Services-Cancer Care in Canada said the latest results from the Alberta Physical Activity and Breast Cancer Prevention Trial involve C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation, which is linked to cancer risk.
The study, published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research, found moderate-to-vigorous daily activity reduced C-reactive protein levels among post-menopausal women.
Although researchers have not yet identified how inflammation increases cancer risk, it is known that the inflammation process produces cytokines -- immune-response chemicals that encourage cell proliferation and suppress cell death -- that contribute to increased cancer risk.
"In breast and colon cancers, for example, we're seeing overall risk reductions of about 25 percent to 30 percent associated with higher levels of physical activity. With prostate cancer the evidence isn't as strong but it's still there -- about 10 percent to 20 percent lower risk. For endometrial cancer, we are finding about 30 percent to 35 percent risk reduction with more physical activity," Friedenreich said in a statement. "These numbers are powerful. The bottom line: For many of the most common cancers, it seems like something as simple as a brisk walk for 30 minutes a day can help reduce cancer risk."
The findings were also presented in the American Institute for Cancer Research annual research conference on in Washington.

We can't help, but to love the United States Patent Office – it gives away too many good secrets. This week, a user at NeoGAF found a Microsoft patent filling for a pair of augmented reality glasses. The high-tech head mounted eye wear appears to be aimed at the gaming community and might just bring our favorite titles to the streets – literally.
The patent is titled, "Multiplayer gaming with head-mounted display" and is described as a system that allows players "to participate in a multiplayer game via a user head-mounted display device." The device is able to receive a collection of data including voice, eye-tracking, and the position of a user's head within 3D space. The system is also able to match potential players in the area with other users close by.
It's not clear if the device is the same as "Project Fortaleza", which was revealed last summer in a leaked Microsoft Xbox roadmap.
Microsoft's patent includes a collection of images and diagrams to help depict the new device. In one figure (the one we have listed below for your enjoyment), a user is viewing the world through his pair of the Microsoft Glasses; he is able to view two players engaging in a sword fighting (read: fencing) match along with a potential player standing directly in front of him.
The augmented gaming glasses show a woman known as "The Queen", along with a list of games she might be available to play and her level within said games. Video game examples within the figure include: Dance, Search and Find, and Tennis.
According to the patent, the glasses include a semi-transparent display that sits in front of the user's eyes to display content; the two particular displays are said to be OLED.
Another figure (also provided below for your enjoyment) shows a full layout of how the system interacts with a user along with backend computing, server, and network details.
As with most patent filings, we ask you to take the information with a grain of salt as it may never appear. But if it does, we can't wait to get our hands on a pair.
What do you think about Microsoft's latest patent filing?
Bonus Question: What would you name these new High-Tech Glasses?

This past semester Samuel Merritt University (SMU) nursing students in the Accelerated Bachelors in Nursing (ABSN) program provided clients in two Walden House programs with tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) vaccinations. Walden House is a non-profit, multi-site community program in San Francisco with roots dating back to the 60's. It is a residential and outpatient substance abuse and mental health program that also contracts with the state prison system to provide services to inmates and parolees.
The clinical nursing students from the SMU San Francisco Learning Center was concerned with a recent outbreak of pertussis, better known as whooping cough, a disease that is often fatal to infants and young children. The ABSN students wanted to protect the Walden House community, especially women with children, from this preventable disease.
Lucas Marchiniak, ABSN student, coordinated the vaccine administration with San Francisco County Health Department and Walden House staff. "I learned that there is a tremendous need for public health infrastructure in the community," he said. "Usually, you go to a healthcare provider and take for granted that you will receive the vaccines you need. I had no idea how much goes on behind the scenes to administer those shots."
Samuel Merritt University faculty supervisor, Kate Shade PhD, RN, Assistant Professor, is proud of the work Marchiniak and the other four nursing students did to organize the event. "They did a phenomenal job preparing for the vaccination day. They learned how much documentation is required, how to store vaccines, and how to screen for those persons who should not be vaccinated," explained Shade. "They also educated the clients about pertussis and the risks for adults with compromised health and young children who do not yet have full immunity to the disease. They did such a good job of preparing the clients that of the adults who needed to be immunized the vast majority elected to get the vaccine."
"I learned that building rapport with the clients is important. You cannot come to a community and expect that the service you want to offer will be necessarily utilized by the members of that community," said Katherine Greenman, ABSN student. "I realized that each person we see has particular needs that we as nurses need to attend to. For example, one client said, 'don't tell me about it [the shot], just do it quickly and get it over with.' Another said she thought she would faint so I had to help her manage her anxiety before I could give her the shot."
Lauren Fiel and Andrea Haun, ABSN students, are committed to working after graduation as nurses in the community. "These sites need a community health nurse to coordinate this kind of program," Haun said.
Fiel believes students are a great resource in providing free healthcare services. "Our community health clinical rotation has been an opportunity to work with an underserved population. We have done everything from arranging on-site services, referring clients to outside services, and providing services ourselves. We also offer group health education and advise individuals about managing their chronic health conditions."
Allison Ohata added, "Working at the Walden House has been a great opportunity to give back to the community. As new nurses, the experience has helped us to understand where patients in the acute care setting are coming from in the community, what their healthcare needs are and their ability to access healthcare coverage. I know it will make me a more empathic, understanding, and knowledgeable nurse."

At a comics/toys shop (still trying to find that new The Star Wars comic) today, I bought an old Pirates Starting Lineup figure (pitcher Mike Dunne, BTW) and an Alpha Flight comic. Brought them up to the cashier; computer was running slow, and the guy apologized (I told him to not worry about it). Then, the amount was overcharged (again, I said, "no problem" as he was checking and correcting the error). I decided NOT to pay by credit card, in case more issues arose, so I handed him a $20... the change was wrong for a twenty OR a ten. He didn't think I had given him a Jackson, "and I can prove it," he said. Opened the cash drawer... and saw the $20. I got my correct change, but no other words from him. And to top it off, when I opened the comic at home, it was a 2nd printing. I don't think I will be back for a long, time.

The top two winners in the State fair events are allowed to progress to the national competition. San Juan County threw down the gauntlet and will be sending a total of ten students forward in the fair.
Risha Price took first place in the state for her historical paper on the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Clarissa Jack snatched up a first place spot in the state for her live performance about "Flappers" in the 1920's.
In the individual exhibit category, Dallin Anderson won first place in the state with his display on the Transcontinental Railroad. Ally Anderson took second with a project on the Brown vs. the Board of Education Case.
Martha Beh took third place with a live performance on William Wilberforce and the British Slave Trade. The second place finisher is unable to attend the National History Fair, so Beh will take her place.
Jamie Keyes and Robin Randall received a cash stipend and the opportunity to display their project on Rosie the Riveter at the Fort Douglas Museum. All seven of these students are from Monticello High School.
San Juan High students also rose to the occasion. Logan Bradford won second place for his digital documentary about the Southern Ute Reservation.
Simone Shumway, Cortney Macdonald, and Madison Parker earned second place for a group exhibit on school trust lands.
In the web design category, Sierra Whipple took third for her project on the death penalty.
Nine of these hardcore history warriors will represent all of San Juan during the National History Fair at the University of Maryland. From June 12 to 16, they will contend against students from all over the country in their pursuit for historical glory!
A job well done, goes to all those who participated in the state fair, and gratitude goes to the teachers involved: Judy Barton at Monticello High School and Bill Sivert at San Juan High School.

I'm looking ahead a bit towards Cataclysm right now, trying to decide what I want to do. Me being me, the first thing I'm probably going to do is run a ton of alts and not even bother looking at end game. I might rush my Mage or Druid to 85 for the sake of doing it and getting some gold from the new profession mats, but most of my time will initially be spent on trying out all the new starting areas.
I know without a doubt that I want to level one of every race, and one of every class to at least level 20. That much I know for sure. What I haven't set in stone just yet, is which races with be teamed up with which classes. So today that's what I'm aiming to do is to solidify, or at least narrow down, those choices and set a firm plan for the new expansion.
These combinations are because I want to see the game from each class's and race's perspective. The characters that get rolled for this will end up getting deleted almost without exception. After reaching 20 with them all I'll delete them and then reroll the ones I really like on my real server(s) to actually play them and level them beyond 20.
Existing Knowledge
We know we're getting some new combinations of races and classes in Cataclysm, and while there are still several things that might change in it, here's what we know so far for new combinations:
Orc: Mage
Undead: Hunter
Tauren: Paladin, Priest
Troll: Druid, Warlock*
Blood Elf: Warrior
Human: Hunter
Dwarf: Mage, Shaman, Warlock*
Night Elf: Mage
Gnome: Priest
Draenei: nothing at all…
*Warlock: Recent blue posts indicated that Warlock has been added to Dwarf and Troll, which are the only combinations (that I know of) that have been added since the initial announcement in Blizzcon '09.
From that list alone there are already some that draw my attention, and some that I couldn't care less about. The ones I have no interest in are: Orc Mage, Tauren Priest, Troll Druid. The rest I'm at least somewhat interested in or excited about, and a couple I'm really excited to try out. Neither of the Tauren options really do anything for me, but I think that's because I'm not a huge cow fan to begin with. Surprisingly I'm actually excited about all three Dwarf options as well as the Gnome addition. Surprising because those are two of my least favorite races in the game.
We also know that we're gaining two new races which have their own class combinations.
Worgen: Druid, Hunter, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, Warrior
Goblin: Hunter, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, Warrior
My initial thoughts during last year's Blizzcon were Worgen Druid and Goblin Shaman, straight out of the box. Since then I've changed quite a bit.
I'm not super thrilled about the Worgen Druid idea anymore. I might go ahead and do it, especially if I decide to level Feral this time, but I'm just not quite sure. Adding wolf to the mix of possible forms for the druid sounded really cool, but since my existing druid is an inscriptionist I can already turn myself into a wolf so it's not quite as appealing from that standpoint. While I like the shapechange mechanic of the Worgen, I don't really like how that plays out for casters. I don't quite see the whole "I cast stronger spells because I now have teeth and furs!" thing makes sense. It's sort of like the Orc racial in that regard where yeah it still works, but eh, only just.
Goblins I'm just really not all that into. I like some of the things we've seen about their starting area, but…I don't know, they just don't appeal to me. I may end up going with the generic Goblin Rogue and turning him into my Horde bank alt, but the more I think about it Warlock seems a more appropriate feel for them as I picture a Voidwalker or Felguard standing watch over me as I take care of my transactions. Hunter, Mage, and Priest just don't scream "goblin" to me, so I'm not thrilled there at all.
Looking over the list right now I'm leaning towards…Feral Druid, BM Hunter, SPriest, or Warrior for the Worgen, and Sub Rogue, Elem Shaman, or Warlock for the Goblin. Though I don't like the idea of Worgen casters much, I love the thought of a shadow priest look applied to the wolfman. Other options for the goblin just don't appeal to me.
Decisions, as They Stand Now
The combinations I know for sure that I want to level in Cataclysm is pretty small. If they made some other combinations open up, such as the Night Elf Warlock, I'd be all over that. Since they haven't though, this is the list I'm going to work with for now, and if things change then things change.
Druid: Night Elf (Worgen)
The ones in parenthesis are ones that I'm considering as replacements. I know I want to level another Druid, but I'm not sure on the race. I do know it's not going to be a flipping Troll with their hideous skins as they are right now. I really wanted to roll a Worgen Druid when Blizzcon announced it, but now I'm not that into the idea. It's still a possibility though given that I'm not super thrilled about rolling yet another Night Elf Druid.
Hunter: Human and Undead
I don't have the slightest clue how in the world we've come this far in the game and still not seen Human Hunters. I mean…seriously? Human's can't kill things with a bow by now? It's about time, so I'm going to make it so. I'm also rolling an Undead Hunter because it's one of the two combinations I've always wanted for the Undead. They haven't given us Undead Paladins yet, but I'm not giving up hope on that one. One of these days, to Fel with the lore, I'll have an Undead Paladin.
Mage: Draenei (Night Elf, Troll, Undead)
The mage is going to be a Draenei, but I really don't know why. Actually, I do know why. I don't like Spacegoats, but I had to use one somewhere to see their new starting area. They make good Mages (nothing like throwing a racial HoT on yourself before casting Ice Block to get the full heal without fear of dying after all. I've always been curious about a Night Elf Mage since Shadowmeld is such a wonderfully useful ability, so it's still a possibility. I may go Troll if I don't feel like another Warlock, or possibly Undead just because I love Undead so much.
Paladin: Tauren (Human)
Paladin isn't a very hard choice. Since cows are getting the priesthood I figured I might as well roll one and give that cowtank a shot. Human is really the only other race I care to have as a Paladin that we have access to. I'd take Undead in a heartbeat if they gave it to us, and the same for Orc, but they haven't so I can't.
Priest: Gnome and Blood Elf (Priest)
Priest gets two races this time around. The Gnome simply because I don't want a Gnome of any of the other classes available to them. I hate Gnomes. They're the only race that comes close to Trolls on my hate list. I know some of my tweeps love them, but not me. I could handle their size, and the squished look of their gear if they would just change their voices and stupid sayings like, "My! You're a tall one!" I hate them, but I have to see their starting area so I'm rolling one anyway.
Priest also goes to Blood Elf because I love the male's cast animation for healing spells. I think the spiffy twirly braids of the female dwarf is the only animation that comes close. If something looks stupid I can't play it even if it's cool. If something looks cool, I can play it even if it sucks (to some degree).
Rogue: Worgen (Night Elf, Goblin)
Rogue goes to the Worgen where I can be both agile and brutal at the same time. It's one of the best combinations for the race in my opinion. I hate that their racial ability makes their spells stronger from a believability standpoint. I just don't see how my fireballs would hurt any more than normal just because I suddenly get hairy and grow fangs; it just doesn't compute with me. So I'm going melee with them instead.
Shaman: Dwarf (Goblin)
Shaman is for Dwarves. I gave a lot of thought to making my Dwarf a Mage or possibly a Warlock. Mage was my initial thought as a nod to one of my favorite fantasy series, the one that got me started on them in the first place, The Belgariad which was written by the late David Eddings. In that book was a twisted, disfigured dwarf "mage" named Beldin who worked some of the most beautiful magic in the world as a balance to his ugliness. He turned into beautiful creatures and he was a horrible, disgusting figure when in his natural form. I love the character and the image. His most well known animal form is a blue banded hawk, so if Dwarves could be Druids I would leap at the opportunity. Since they can't be druids though, I'm going to combine Beldin with another character from the books, Belgarath, which was another "mage" and known for taking the form of a wolf. So I'm ditching the Mage class for the Spirit Wolf form of the Shaman and using the Dwarf race to tie the two together into one.
Warlock: Goblin and Troll
Warlock of the Demonology variety goes to the Goblin because while I see most people going Rogue with them for bank alts, I'm going Warlock because I picture my Goblin not as a thief but more as a loan shark. And rather than slitting your throat and stealing your purse, I'm just going to have my big friend here, the Felguard, bash in your face if you don't give me my money back. Now here's the 10g you need and I expect to have 50g from you sitting on my desk by Tuesday morning.
Warlock of the Affliction variety goes to the Trolls. My most hated race in the entire game. There's really nothing at all that I like about this race. I'm going to take them anyway though so that I can have him dance with his Imp. I don't want to miss any of the starting areas from their race's perspective, otherwise I wouldn't be rolling one to begin with.
Warrior: Orc
Warrior is the favored class of the Orc. It's a strong, brutal race of warriors and that's the kind of thing I can really get into. When I think Orc, I think big axes and splitting skulls, and right now the Warrior is the best class available to them for doing that.

Words can provide rest, create change, and bring new life to our inner and outer worlds. Developing this special issue has given us a wonderful reminder of that. To editors, there's little more beautiful than a well-crafted sentence or an elegant turn of phrase that punctures our established ways of thinking.
Words can also be a wonderful gift-especially when they arrive unexpectedly. When we asked Haitian author Edwidge Danticat to contribute a short piece on her favorite books, she instead sent a lovely vignette in which her words bridge the distance between Haiti and the streets of Brooklyn. Her piece, like others here, marvelously enriches our understanding of the world.
The process of writing is mysterious, and we're often surprised by what can happen. When Carol, a participant in a writers workshop for homeless men and women, searched for the right words for her writing, she also found her voice. Who knows how her words will change the people around her-and us?
The breathless days of election 2004 are over and we've at last reached the quieter shores of Advent. As we anticipate the coming of God's Word, may the words here heal and stretch you, broaden your community, and enlarge your vision of the world. Breathe them in. Take them into your minds, hearts, and souls. Savor them. And rest. -The Editors

Apple's latest OS X update for its Mac computers removes a Java plug-in from all Mac-compatible web browsers.
Fans of Java will still be able to use Java-based apps within their browsers but will need to download the official Oracle Java software independently first.
It's the latest move from Apple to divorce itself from Oracle's Java. Having stopped pre-installing it on its Mac devices, another recent update saw the plug-in automatically switched off should it remain unused for any lengthy period.
However, this latest update actively removes the Java plug-in, meaning consumers will have to go out of their way to reinstall the software.
Though Apple hasn't said as such, Oracle Java has been prone to security attacks from hackers in the past, partly because of the large array of operating systems that use it.
Apple, which has long prided itself on providing a secure computing experience, has clearly decided to take the most extreme of precautions, removing Java altogether.

Eli Manning has no intention letting questions about his ironman streak continue.
Last month, the quarterback's availability to participate in the New York Giants OTAs seemed in doubt after his offseason ankle surgery. Allowing the 33-year-old veteran time to properly heal made sense.
Manning, however, is a quick healer.
Just seven weeks after surgery, the quarterback "took quite a few snaps on the first day of OTAs" on Wednesday, according to the team's official website. Manning participated in individual drills and took "many" of the first team-reps.
Manning's participation is a good sign. Not only is he coming off a dreadful season, but the Giants are learning a new offense under coordinator Ben McAdoo.
Manning needs as many reps in the new up-tempo, West Coast scheme to gain chemistry with his revamped offensive line and receiving corps -- including rookie pass-catcher Odell Beckham. Getting this early experience will benefit the Giants come training camp.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" breaks down the news and discusses players who could be summertime trade targets.

text: Family, Organizing, Time Management A New Way to Teach Your Child to Tie Their Shoes I am so darn excited about today's post. Today I am sharing a new way to teach your child how to tie their shoes. It is the best shoe-tying tutorial I could ever showcase and it comes to my site courtesy of my amazing friend Nancy from Nancy Lary Studios. When my son was in first grade he was still struggling to tie his shoes. The fact that we put the kid in Velcro shoes his entire life may have been a big factor in why he struggled so much. When I shared this with Nancy, she showed me a new way to teach shoelace tying to see if it would work for our son. Lo and behold, a mere five minutes later my son was tying his shoe like a pro. My daughter is three years younger than her brother and when we taught Ethan, she wanted to learn right along side of him. As luck would have it, she caught on just as fast as her brother and it is how she is tying her shoes still today. You have to see this tutorial. If you are struggling with teaching your children to tie their own shoelaces, this is a parenting game changer. I can't wait to hear about your own success stories with this tutorial. An enormous thank you to Nancy for so generously sharing her video with my readers! Note About the First Loop The first time you teach them, you can show them with your own finger how to create that first loop. After that, it shows them how much space they need to create it and they can do it on their own. For double knotting the laces, just show them as you normally would! When I was a kid we used one of these handy shoe-tying practice boards (affiliate link) to help with tying my shoelaces.

Rogers Peak (OR) Climber's Log
scgrant - Sep 15, 2015 11:44 pm Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2015Rogers Peak
Quick easy hike up from the gate. The gate was open and there was active logging going on so I made a point to get up and down as quickly as possible.
Nick Turtura - Jun 4, 2012 11:19 pm Date Climbed: May 23, 2012Standard Route
Quick trip up with the son then had time to hit a Timbers game on the way home. No snow.
Redwic - Oct 3, 2011 5:28 pm Date Climbed: Oct 2, 2011Nice Route, But Otherwise Not Exciting
A CoHP, a CoGPP, and very prominent. Otherwise, not very exciting. The most exciting parts were during the descent... when I found fresh bear poo on my route and later found hunters all around. The Sierra Club had left a new summit register in a jar back in August, and I was the first person (other than them) to sign it.
This was my 9th Oregon CoHP, and my 99th USA CoHP overall.

With Annie and Luna. No sun. Snow patches on the road. Found the red summit canister and signed the notebook. It's too bad this big of a coast mountain is a big logging hill with 4 wheelers buzzing all over. This could have been a great hiking area.
calebEOC - Jun 13, 2010 10:39 pm Date Climbed: Jun 13, 2010Foggy hike
4th oregon coast range P2K of the weekend. Did this on the drive back to tri-cities from Corvallis. Warm, foggy, and misting down some minor precipitation, reminded me of a beautiful summer day back in southeast alaska.
hiway99w - Jun 28, 2009 10:31 am Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2009Not so bad
The first hike of the year in summer weather. It was sunny and warm with just a light, but pleasant, breeze near the summit. My son, Andrew, and I did Rogers Peak and South Saddle Mountain as a CoHP two-fer. We followed the directions here on SP and had no trouble finding the place. Gilmore road wasn't nearly as rough as I had expected but it was quite steep (at one point, I nearly hit the limit of my PT Cruiser's ability to climb on gravel). There may be no view from the summit, but there were nice views along the way including a very nice view of Saddle Mountain and a hazy view of Mt. Rainier. There was also a nice view of the north side of Kings Mountain. The roadcut near the summit featured a dazzling wildflower display and there was a monster anthill a few yards from the summit boulder. On the way up, we saw two mountain bikers and a dirt biker down near the river. We didn't see any other people or vehicles after crossing the river and heading up Gilmore Road. On the way down, however, there were several dirt bikers along the riverside stretch who seemed totally oblivious to the possibility that there might be other vehicles using this road (on the road to South Saddle Mountain, where there were far more OHVs, the riders seemed much more aware that they were sharing the road with cars and trucks). All in all, not an unpleasant way to spend an afternoon.
Cornvallis - Jul 21, 2008 1:15 amSnowy viewless hike
Hiked with Shelby in snow for the majority. Lots of fresh snow, GPS got us to the top. I agree with the previous log, CHP's and prominence peak people only.
BSPclimber - Aug 10, 2007 10:56 pm Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2007Not too exciting
Solo hike. Not all that exciting, a road hike to a forested summit. The weather was very nice though, had a interesting view of Saddle Mt. Up in 45 minutes, down in 40 with 10+minutes of stopping for pictures. Honestly, if you aren't after CoHP's and/or prominence peaks, I wouldn't recommend this one. I also don't recommend going up Gilmore road on a scooter, unless you enjoy riding on gravel that feels like marbles under your tires.
Stansbury - Jul 23, 2007 9:33 pm Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2007Rainy Rogers Peak
If it's raining there's not much to see, unfortunately. Here are some updated directions that may help. After turning from Hwy 6 (.3 miles past milepost 23 if heading East) onto North Fork Rd. you enter the Jones Creek Park area. After .2 miles in turn right going towards "Diamond Mill OHV Area". At 1.4 miles from Hwy 6 bear left at the fork. No signs indicated what is to the left but going right would take you to the Diamond Mill OHV Area. At 1.7 miles bear right following the sign for Diamond Mill Rd. Turn right at the second bridge at 4.1 miles (skip the first bridge at 3.1 miles); this road is marked as "Gilmore Rd.". This road will take you all the way to the yellow gate, total distance of 7.8 miles from Hwy. 6. The trail is all dirt road, bear to the right at the first ~ 1/4 mile and then after another ~ 1/2 mile it switches back sharply uphill to the summit. This would also be a great place for mountain biking.

A little bit of snow left but not much along the road. This was a nice easy summit and as I reached the top the clouds cleared out a bit and the rained stopped, or at least paused.
cmc56789 - Mar 23, 2007 4:38 am Date Climbed: Mar 22, 2007Rogers Peak
Took Dosha the dog along for this one. Took me a while to find the correct road, but finally got it after a few wrong tries. Patchy snow on the way up, with about a foot on top. Cloudy day, so no views, although saw some interesting views of Kings Mountain on the drive. Went to the beach after so I could stand at the highest and lowest points in the county in the same day.
Dundeel - Feb 14, 2007 5:11 am Date Climbed: Apr 22, 2006Rogers Neighborhood
Nice sunny day. No snow at the gate but 3'+ at the summit. Couldn't find the ATV trail so I followed the road. Watch out for unsupervised kids on ATVs. I had to brake hard as a couple of dirt bikes shot on to the road.
Bob Bolton - Jan 20, 2007 10:04 pm Date Climbed: Mar 23, 2003Snowy hike
I enjoyed this hike in early spring with snow flying. I had hoped for a view, but only after turning the last corner before the summit did the sun suddenly appear and the clouds separated to give me great views of the surroundings. I returned to do this one with Dean and Trapper and Roxanne in November.
Dean - Jan 19, 2007 8:03 pm Date Climbed: Nov 1, 2003Hike
Four of us did this one in waning light and with it snowing a bit. We parked at the gate and walked up the road until we hit an old atv road which turned into a trail. The summit was a big boulder and was surrounded by forest making it another typical coastal mountain summit but it was significant to us as we were all there to get the county highpoint. For one of those present, SP'er Bob Bolton, it was his second visit. Trapper and Roxanne celebrated the rock summit in their special ties, worn everytime they achieve a summit, no matter how significant. (see pic on main page)

Researchers at Hope College are running in high gear in pinpointing the sources of pollution entering Lake Macatawa, hoping within a year to 18 months to have answers that will enable the community to start finding solutions.
Their efforts are focusing on the large quantities of sediment pouring into the lake and the high levels of E. coli bacteria. The research is being conducted with funding from a major grant to the Outdoor Discovery Center Macatawa Greenway, announced earlier this week, that is engaging multiple organizations, including Hope, in resolving problems that have plagued the lake for years.
Led by faculty members Dr. Graham Peaslee and Dr. Michael Pikaart, the work at Hope is involving more than a dozen current students, two recent graduates, a high school teacher and two high school students, a post-doctoral researcher and a cohort of approximately eight community volunteers collecting samples. The research is spread across seven laboratories in two buildings, taking the process from organizing and storing samples gathered at the lake and its tributaries, to running a variety of tests, to collecting and analyzing the resulting data.
"The scale of this project is big for Hope, but it's appropriate for this project," said Peaslee, who is the Hartgerink professor of chemistry and chairperson of the chemistry department as well as a professor of geology and environmental science.
"We're going to get data out of it that nobody else has dreamed of obtaining, and that's pretty exciting, and it's going to have a really unique outcome," he said. "It's intense, it's fun, and it's a great educational experience for our students."
The effort to better understand and ultimately address the lake's pollution is a collaborative effort that is supported through a $500,000 grant to the Outdoor Discovery Center Macatawa Greenway from a group of private donors led by the Dick and Betsy DeVos family and the Jim and Donna Brooks family. In addition to the Outdoor Discovery Center Macatawa Greenway and Hope, the partnership includes the Macatawa Area Coordinating Council, the Annis Water Resources Institute at Grand Valley State University and Dr. Joan Rose from Michigan State University.
The Hope researchers are collecting samples from throughout the watershed to help provide a detailed understanding of where the pollution is entering the lake. There are 43 sites for collecting sediment samples, and 11 sites for collecting E. coli samples. Advanced testing techniques are further helping the researchers zero in on where the pollution might have come from in the first place, by identifying components within the sediment and E. coli.
The researchers plan to rank-order the sources to help community leaders decide which should be given priority. "If you have a finite amount of money to fix it, where should you put the money?" Peaslee said.
Peaslee, who has been studying the local watershed since 1998 and edited the 2008 book "An Environmental History of The Lake Macatawa Watershed," described the sediment run-off as a problem more than a century in the making. He noted that development in the area since the region was settled in the 1840s has reduced the quantity of wetlands and forest, leading to increased run-off into the lake. The sediment carries with it excess nutrients that in turn lead to developments such as a high volume of algae which, when it decomposes, reduces the oxygen level and kills fish. "You get this continual cycle because it's a stressed lake," he said.
The E. coli problem is more recent, arising, Peaslee said, within the past decade and getting worse. In 2010, high levels of the bacteria led to the closing of the beach at Dunton Park near the east side of the lake nearly 70 percent of the time.
The E. coli-related research is being led by Dr. Michael Pikaart, associate professor of chemistry, using a DNA-identification technique developed by Rose at Michigan State University. The problem with the E. coli in the lake, Pikaart said, is the fact that this particular species of bacteria indicates the presence of fecal matter, which poses a potential health hazard.
"We're not interested in E. coli per se," he said. "We're using it as a marker mechanism for fecal material."
One major question the researchers are seeking to answer is from what sort of waste the E. coli originates - until now, it is not clear whether these high fecal bacteria levels are coming from human sewage, from domestic livestock or from wildlife. Information about the source of the bacteria, Pikaart said, will not only better clarify the risk level but also offer clues as to the starting point and ways to prevent the problems.
"There's a difference in the bacteria that inhabit humans and cows, and these are differences that can be identified," he said. "There's a lot of fine detail about not only which organism does it come from, but where is it from."
The research team hopes to have completed the E. coli investigations within a year, and the sediment research within a year to 18 months.
Hope and the Outdoor Discovery Center Macatawa Greenway established a formal partnership in 2009 that provides learning experiences and research opportunities for students and faculty, including a field station at the preserve that serves as a classroom, lab facility and research station. Hope and the center had previously worked together on an informal basis on programs, writing grants and providing educational opportunities to Hope students and for research since the center was founded in 2000. The center's founding executive director, Travis Williams, is a 1998 Hope graduate.

Cambray is an unknown ghost town near the Luna/Dona Ana county line on New Mexico Route 548. The town itself lies within Luna County. The town can be reached easily from I-10. If you're heading west on I-10 through New Mexico, take Exit 116, turn left, cross over the Interstate, then turn right on NM 548 and head west. Eastbound travelers can take Exit 102 turn right on the overpass road, then left on NM 548 and head east. Halfway down the road from both ends are the ruins.
During the height of the Great Depression, the Civilian Conservation Corps set up a labor camp of small Adobe cabins within the small service stop town of Cambray along what was then US Highway 80. The workmen often purchased all the food and logistics they needed from the general store directly in front of their work camp. Work projects in the area included the construction and maintenance of irrigation ditches and water channels for local farmers and maintenance of US 80 itself. The largest project was the construction of a large overpass above the Southern Pacific Railroad to bypass a rudimentary 1927 at grade crossing interstate travelers often had to use along old US 80 between San Diego, California and Savannah, Georgia. During the 40s and early 50s, Cambray continued its earlier existence as a service stop for US 80 travelers. In the mid 1950s, a new four lane divided section of US 80 was built between Deming and Las Cruces, bypassing Cambray all together. The town very quickly lost business and was abandoned. Today, the crumbling adobe ruins of the general store, a few unknown abandoned buildings and one or two CCC cabins are all that remains of old Cambray. Most of the CCC cabins were torn down and a private house now stands on the site. The CCC overpass was demolished around 2015 and replaced with a new one of modern construction by the New Mexico Department of Transportation. While interesting to visit and look at, Cambray is not open to the public and is on private property, so admire from a distance if you plan on seeing it.
EDIT: I typed the word "c a n a l" as in artificial waterway, but for some reason the filter on the site registered it as an offensive word. I don't understand why that happened, but I'm sorry for the confusion everyone.

Total Eclipse - Overall Series Impressions & Total Series Rating
This thread is to be used for discussing the entire episodes of Total Eclipse ... your thoughts about the show, overall impressions, expectations and hopes about Blu-Ray/DVD-exclusive footage etc.
A few subjects you might want to ramble on about:
And so on.
The poll represents your total series rating. In other words, how you would rate all the episodes combined (1-10)? If you'd rather rate the whole series by technical/artistic merits, you can do so. An example:
Animation Quality: 1-10
Voice Actors: 1-10
Script: 1-10
Soundtrack: 1-10

I have mixed feelings on this one. There's a lot I really enjoyed about the series. I came to really like the characters in spite of my initial reservations about some of them, and I think the anime staff did a good job with the adaptation in many ways. The anime original second episode was pretty amazing, and according to a blogger who is familiar with the source material the anime actually makes a number of positive changes.
On the other hand the romantic competition aspect of the series got to be a bit much at times. I'm not a fan who thinks that the series should have no romance and should focus exclusively on fighting BETA on the front lines. I actually really like Yuuya and Yui as a couple, and I enjoy some of the stuff with Cryska as well. But there are times where I felt some of the romantic parts were either given too much emphasis/importance or where the characters behaved in ways that sort of ruined things for me. I enjoyed the story about Yuuya's old teammates in Blue Flag and felt Sharon in particular came across as a mature adult, yet in that same stretch of episodes I have to deal with Yui hiding behind a tree and Cui's crazy antics. I know Yui and Cui are supposed to be young, but c'mon -can't they act a bit more like mature adults?
I also would have liked to seen the anime do a better job of keeping certain parts of the source material. In particular some of the stuff with Yui. Yui had fantastic character development in the first two episodes, but she seems a bit short on it after that. Whereas my reading of the Type 94 Blog indicates that
Spoiler for Novel/Manga Material:
I suppose I'm inclined to give an 8/10 overall rating. That's perhaps a bit generous given all the problems I have with the series, but then a lot of my favorite shows have significant flaws. The important thing is that I find myself really getting into a show, and this is one I really got into.

I didn't like how the middle of the series detracted away from the war against the BETA -- and instead, it was turning out into some harem series. Yea, sure, gotta feature some hot chicks and their bods somehow. All this -- woo woo and the MC doesn't respond to the women around him -- that just made these "mature looking characters" behave in a somewhat immature way. For once, we have ourselves a series that features older characters. At least, they should behave in such a way.
Oh well. Thankfully, Yui and Cryska made this series worth watching. Otherwise, I would have dropped it. By the way, in a series where the human race is dying left and right -- some polygamy should be encouraged.
On my own list -- this series gets a 7. Good. Nothing special though.

>>> Animation Quality: 10/10 for the battle suit
~Mecha design ~ well, pretty unique. I got the FMP feeling during the first episode but this series had shown some uniqueness. The used of CG was average for me. It's like I still prefer 2D though.
~The Battle Suit ~ Sorry, but I just had to say this. ITS SO HOT. The curves, the fitting, those ass, the boobs trying to escape the suit.. Damn! SO HOT!!!!
>>> Voice Actors: 8/10
They did well. Who ever they are.
>>> Script: 8/10
They romance is a bit, lame.... Need more intimacy
Soundtrack: 7/10
Oh, yeah the first OP is so damn good. I loved the rap there. That's all. The other songs? Meh
>>> Enjoyment: 7/10
My enjoyment lies on the Yuuya X Yui, "LQ"...I wished the had a kiss... One hot kiss would it better than Gundam Seed.
>>> Emotional Involvement: 7/10
This anime never made me cry. Just made me laugh hard on Yuuya x Yui's nonsense, pride based quarrels.
Total Series Rating: 8/10 ~ It's worth the watch.
Hope for a second season..

Some of them had some defects in it but after seeing the BD version , those quirks were fixed and looks more pleasing to the eyes.
Voice Actors: 9/10
Hitomi Nabatame as Cryska
and Nakahara Mai as Yui are pure win.
Script: 7/10
Agreed with Genji on the let down romance , other than that , It's quite good , I mean you don't see much Animes with aliens and hot chicks in tightsuits and mecha
Soundtrack: 8/10
Koda Kumi's Go to the Top is the best for the opening and Ayami's Apocalypse of Destiny as the insert song
Enjoyment: 8.5/10
I really enjoyed the series , though It would be nice who ends with Top Gun ... but yea... It's a harem anyway... :U
Emotional Involvement:
I almost cried when Yui was about to get sawed in half by those Lastochka and Yuuya was like screaming Yui's name XD
Overall Rating : 7.5/10
C'mon gimmie some YuiXYuuya moments :U

I'm binging on hate at this moment, since I've just finished this series.
I'll categorize this into two parts: The first two episodes, and the latter 23.
The two-part introduction.
I wrote about how I really, really liked the two-part introduction in the poll thread for the first two episodes. I really liked what they were doing, and I really liked the Blue Gender meets FMP! sort of story they were giving us. In retrospect, I liked most everything they had there, and I didn't even have a lot of issues with the schoolgirls part. I felt it had enough going for it that it worked in one way or another.
Spoiler for Multi-Paragraph breakdown of the series.:
So on a score breakdown:
Spoiler for Scores and explanations for various categories.:
Overall score: 4/10. This anime had a lot of potential if it had been run like the first two episodes. If it had kept that Blue Gender meets FMP! style they had at the start it would have been amazing! Unfortunately after the first two episodes they instead focused on making it cliche, and force-feeding a really terrible harem.
First two episodes score: 8/10. There was a lot here that I liked. Check the topic for episodes 1 and 2 for explanations.
Obviously I had a lot of negative things to say. I was disappointed greatly by what was done here. Now, I've become aware that Muv-Luv is a multi-medium franchise and isn't limited to just manga or anime. Maybe I'm missing something here, but I see no reason why this could not have been something more than what it was. I wanted to like this show, and I thought it had some real potential. In the end it was a massive tangent.

I have to disagree to a certain extent, as with some of the things you have problems with, you seem to be accentuating the negative. My comments to your post have been spoilered for length.

I haven't participated in a Show Us Where You Live in a while, but I LOVE my dining room, and I really want to show it off, if only to my blogger friends! So here we go....
Okay, before I show you what it is NOW, I want you to see what I started with...
Standing in the dining room, looking into the kitchen-
Nice 80's fixture (it was plastic, by the way...NICE) and bare, flat, nasty white walls...but I had nice moulding. It was the only thing that would stay...
And now....
Here is my Broyhill piece that I got at an estate sale for CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!!! Love this thing! It was in inspiration for my whole room. I know it looks messy on top, but I am rapidly running out of places to store things!
We took down the cabinets when we redid the kitchen (you HAVE to come back on kitchen week to see that transformation! Awesome!) and added a breakfast bar. This is looking into the dining room from the sink.
The color above the chair rail is called Aegean Teal by Ben Moore. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It is SO going in our next house!!!
Looking into the dining room from the living room.
I love our plates. They are from BB&B, and I selected the teal color from them. I just HAD to use them in the room, so I picked up these plate hangers at HobLob and hung them on either side of the bay window.
I am a Willow House consultant (formerly known as Southern Living at Home), and this is a piece from our Spring catalog. I just love this ice bucket and stand. We don't drink a lot, but this is great for parties! Wine, beer, soda! Great!
This is my HOG platter. We are big HOG fans here at the Brewer's, and this is great for those watch parties!!!
This is a wall decal that I got online somewhere. I just love it!
This is my Happy Everything Platter. The attachments at the top change, and it is great for every season! I also have a Happy Everything apron (come back for the kitchen tour to see it!) and I am itching for the cookie jar!
Our table has a drawer under it, and this is where I keep my bag of Happy Everything attachments.
I don't have all of them, but I am working on it!!! ;)
This is the cabinet to the right of the breakfast bar. Instead of having a dead space, we put this in, and it is a great place to keep our entertaining dishes.
I cannot believe I am showing this...it is a MESS....
Here is the breakfast bar that we put in. We use it ALL the time- I don't know what we did without it!!!
This guy used to be above the fireplace, but I needed something heavy for this wall. I think he fits the bill nicely! Don't you love him?!?! He was $30 on MEGA sale! Love him now???? :)
Thanks for stopping by! Hope to see you next time! And feel free to check out my other posts and follow me! I *heart* new followers!!! :)

I want to be frugal. I TRY to be frugal. I strain to be frugal. But after ANOTHER 100.00+ trip to the devils store (aka Walmart) I have decided to admit it. To you, by dear blogger friends....
Hello. My name is Rachel. And I am a shopaholic. A "spendy cindy."
Whew! I feel SOOOO much better getting that off my chest.
Now I would like to say that I love getting a good deal. I buy almost everything (okay, mostly clothes and home accessories) on sale. Or eBay. But I am also VERY good at rationalizing to myself why I need a particular item, even if I have no place for it. This trait makes my yard sale customers very happy. But makes for a not-so-happy husband.
For example: My aunt texted me a picture of some baby Uggs. 50.00. Now if you know me at all, you know that in the winter, I pretty much LIVE in my Uggs. Love them, and of course I want my baby to have some. I am sure she will love them as much as I do. But $50.00?!?!?! For baby shoes??!?!?!? I think not! So I hit up eBay. And I find a really cute pink pair. And a really cute brown pair. What's a girl to do? I watch them for a few days, and I finally break down and buy them. BOTH pairs. So now Ava has more Ugg boots than many adult women do. And she MAY be able to wear them all winter.
Then there is my other half...
My husband. Mr. Frugal. The man that was sleeping on a mattress covered in a sleeping bag when I met him because "it worked." BOY, did that change. They say that opposites attract. This is, indeed, the case for us. When we met, and I went to his apartment for the first time, my first thought was "this poor guy!!!" I thought he was BROKE AS A JOKE. He wasn't. He is just thrifty. He thought our house was fine the way it was when we moved in. Flat white walls and ugly kitchen and all. Had he known how much money I was going to dump into the place, he probably would have just bought me the more expensive and fully updated house we looked at and called it a day! LOL!
The moral is this...
You can't really change WHO you are. But you can change HOW you deal with WHO you are. I am a shopper. I like to buy things. It makes me feel happy. So I try to buy things that are a great deal. That is how I cope with this awful issue I have. (hehe)
Have a wonderful day! It's beautiful here in Arkansas!!! Hope it is as nice where you are!!!!

So as I mentioned in my post yesterday, I have been making some crafts for people. Diaper cakes, canvases, etc. So I wanted to share. I have had many requests for these, so I think I am going to have to start charging. But I will do my best to keep costs below what similar items cost on other sites. After all, who says you have to spend a lot to be a HOGS fan? (I can do other schools, too. I just won't like it as well. Especially if it is UT, LSU, or Alabama.) :)
I also picked up a red pair of Toms shoes the other day to paint. I have a black pair and a pink pair, and have been itching to paint some, so I figured what better time than now to grab up some red ones and go "HOG WILD" on them. So this was the result...
And here are some sneak peaks at my next project- something for my sweet sister Amber. Any guesses on what I might be up to??? ;)

Hello Again, Blogger World
I have been a BAD, BAD blogger. I know. I am sure my 11 followers have really missed me. HA! I really want to try and do better. Because I am not a scrapbooker and I am not good at keeping a journal. And this is a great record of my family and Ava's life! So with "all" of my spare time, that is what I am going to do. Call it my Autumn Resolution. :) The frog is a little friend that was visiting my porch this morning as I took out the trash. I am told that frogs are good luck. I always have them on my porch, so I hope that is true!!!
So what has been happening....well I am still going through a somewhat difficult time, but I am in a grove and things are going well. I PROMISE to tell you all about it in April. And no, it has nothing to do with babies!!! ;)
Ava is growing like a weed!!!! She is SUCH a happy baby, and I am so thankful for that. She really is the joy and light in our lives, and I thank GOD for her each and every day. Especially since I seem to have many close friends who have gone through fertility issues recently, or the loss of a child. Life is so precious. I look at her and I just can't help but think of Christ's love for us. I don't think I really understood the sacrifice that He made...His ONLY Son. WOW. It just leaves me speechless. Thank you, Lord. Every night I say a prayer to Ava- just a simple little rhyme prayer that I used to say as a child-
"Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. And if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take."
She usually laughs at me when I say it over her. I guess the rhyming makes it funny. But one night, I was just having an emotional night, and after I said her prayer, I opened my eyes, and she smiled at me and put her little hand on my cheek, as if to say "I love you mommy." Melted my heart!!!! Every night I tell her how much I love her. I say "I love you more than the world and everything in it." And that is SO true. I want to be there for her, always. But if I had to, I would gladly lay down my life for her. In a heartbeat, without question, without hesitation. She is my world, and I love her so dearly. :)
We are STILL working on our house. I know it will be done. Someday. Maybe the day that we decide to move. Which, with as much stuff as the aforementioned booger has, may be sooner than later! LOL! I can't even think about having TWO! Although I am already asking Cole when we can have another! But we really want Ava out of diapers before we start down this road again. If for no other reason than the cost!
I have started making diaper cakes and painting canvases. The diaper cakes were an intentional business. The canvas painting was not. Although I think that it has more potential. Wider market. ;) I just feel like I need to contribute to the household. With money. :) Or at least make a little of my own spending money. Cole is such a good husband, and really spoils me. Never has he made me feel as if it is "his" money or that I had to ask to spend. Although sometimes I do wish he would put me on an allowance. I get a little spendy sometimes!!! Spendy Cindy!!! I really am trying to be better. I have some personal goals and I am really trying to stick to them.
I will have to add some house pictures soon. If you are my FB friend, you have already seen a lot of our work. If not, you will be pleased with the progress, I hope!
We got a new computer and I haven't had a chance to get my old stuff transferred (our old motherboard fried. Thankfully the hard drive is okay. Stupid Acer.) so I don't know if I can get my before pictures up and on here. I will try. In the meantime, please enjoy a boat load of pictures!!!!
The flashed scared her....
Working on crawling. She ALMOST has it. She will crawl before she really sits up for any length of time. She is too busy to just SIT. :)
Mommy and her sweetpea!
She loves to chew on her thumb. Not suck. Chew! Hello teeth! Come on out!!!
I know this is in here twice. But can you really get enough of that yummy face!? Yeah, me either!!!
These are her playing with her BFF. The penguin. She LOVES that crazy thing!!!

Although many visitors regard Dubai as one big amusement park, the city actually features several real amusement parks. Enormous water slides, real-life movie studios, camel rides and even indoor skiing; everything is possible in Dubai.
The world's largest and most popular water park is located at The Palm Jumeirah near the Atlantis Resort. Adrenaline junkies will be in heaven: Aquaventure Dubai boasts 42 hectares packed with hair-raising and thrilling attractions. Countless swimming pools and water slides ensure days of water and swimming fun. But Dubai has even more to offer.
There is no need to bring your skis to indulge in an afternoon of skiing in Dubai. All the equipment is available for rent at the world's largest indoor ski slope, including winter clothing. This covered ski paradise offers 5 different ski runs, a chair lift and a 3000 square metre fun park. The longest run measures 400 metres and has a 60-metre drop. Daredevils may opt for the black run with a 35-degree slope.
Dolphin Bay is a park where visitors can play and swim with dolphins. Age is not a problem; there is a special programme for every age group to interact with these magnificent creatures in the water. Frolicking with a dolphin doesn't come cheap; expect to spend around 200 euro per person. But for many people this will be the experience of a lifetime and a dream come true.
The Wonderland near the Atlantis Hotel is a family amusement park for all ages. The park is divided into 3 different sections. Like so many other parks in Dubai, Wonderland offers many indoor and outdoor water attractions. The heart of Wonderland encompasses a huge hall with more than 100 attractions and video games. Go-carting, camel rides, a 3D theatre or paint ball - this is the place to be.

The Bush administration appears to me to have thrown its stated policy for dealing with Iran in favor of beseeching the mullahs for "a decent interval" in which to withdraw American troops. I don't think that's the correct approach for dealing with a country that has been at war with us for 28 years and that is engaged in killing American soldiers in Iraq. Is a story like the Boston Globe's account of yesterday's meeting between Ryan Crocker and his Iranian counterpart to be taken at face value? The Globe reports that Crocker asked that Iran stop supplying arms to Iraqi militia groups. I trust that Crocker remembered to say "please."
The Globe account barely mentions Iran's nuclear weapons program, invoking Bush administration policy as a potential deterrent to Iran lending its helping hand to the United States in Iraq. Perhaps yesteday's meeting is to be followed by one in which we ask the mullahs politely to give up their beloved nuclear program. Iranian filmmaker Ardeshir Arian sees the thread between yesterday's meeting and the pursuit by the mullahs of their right to pull the trigger on Armageddon. I hope we're not counting on President Bush's friends in the CIA to do a job on the mullahs' nuclear program.
Eli Lake addresses the administration's approach to the mullahs' nuclear progam in his New York Sun story on yesterday's meeting:
Yesterday's talks between America and Iran mark the first long-form discussions on security and Iraq between two countries that are inching closer to a war footing. In the last week, American diplomats began making the case at the United Nations for a new Security Council resolution against Iran's nuclear program in light of a damning report from the International Atomic Energy Agency.
I would love to know what the Bush administration has in mind for the mullahs' nuclear program. My guess is runs more along the lines of a whimper than a bang.

International experts to debate how nations can tackle cyber threats
OTTAWA — Fears over digital threats to Canada's critical infrastructure — concerns that may be misplaced — are fuelling an arms race that experts believe countries need to better control, especially after the discovery of a powerful online surveillance tool on a Canadian commercial server.
Federal law prohibits the sale or transfer of technology that would allow anyone to hack into a computer or network. Domestic law enforcement agencies, such as local police and the RCMP, are responsible for enforcing the law in Canada; the Canada Border Services Agency polices the import and export of such technology.
Experts suggest that traditional ways of thinking about arms control can't apply to cyberspace, where passing software around the world can be done easily and beyond the control of governments.
"We're in a classic arms race," said Ron Deibert, director of Citizen Lab, an elite research centre that monitors how countries use cyberspace. "That's a pretty dangerous situation to be in when we're talking about the domain of war fighting not being the land, sea or space, but the ecosystem of information."
International experts will gather Monday in Toronto to determine how nations can regulate a market where private companies are developing products and countries are developing digital capabilities, with all concerned that doing nothing could lead to a cataclysmic event that could take down networks controlling power grids or water systems.
That worse-case scenario has materialized into a phrase top American defence officials have used repeatedly in the last few months: A "cyber Pearl Harbor." Those fears, however, may be misplaced, according to a Department of National Defence briefing note.
That briefing note, sent to Canada's top soldier in April of last year, paraphrased panelists at a CSIS security forum who argued that a cyber-attack taking out large portions of a the country's critical infrastructure "would be very difficult."
"The complexity of the U.S. power grid would make it very difficult for any entity to commit a cyber attack that would cause it to shut down entirely," said the briefing note. "An attack on the grid would likely only affect an isolated area and would be aimed more at undermining a population's confidence in essential public services than crippling the economy."
Postmedia News obtained the briefing note under the access to information law.
"There are a lot of people who benefit from hyping the situation and using the fear of these threats to defend huge defence expenditures or civil liberties' violations," Deibert said.
One such piece of technology was revealed last week to have made it way onto a Canadian network. The discovery by Citizen Lab researchers of a product called FinFisher,raised questions about how the software made its way to Canadian commercial servers, and more questions about who was using it and for what ends.
As the name suggests, the program allows its owners to gain sweeping access to personal computers, private emails and conversations — all without the knowledge of the target.
"What you're seeing here is that the rule of law doesn't really apply," said Tom Kellermann, a vice-president of cyber-security for IT firm Trend Micro. "Right now you have this 'lord of war,' arms bizarre of cyber-weaponary."
In response, countries have created military units dedicated not only to defending domestic networks from attacks through cyberspace, but also having the capability of launching a digital strike against an enemy. Last week, the head of U.S. Cyber Command, Gen. Keith Alexander, told American legislators that his "defend-the-nation team" is also "an offensive team" that would "defend the nation if it were attacked in cyberspace."
Developing and trading the technology allowing for attacks on portions of, for instance, the power grid, has been made possible largely because countries have yet to agree on an international framework to control to trade of such technology, or agreed upon punishments for hackers who steal or destroy information on target computers.
"The real problem that nation states have right now is that you've emboldened the non-state actors of the world to realize this (attack) is plausible," Kellermann said. "This is a tremendously significant shift because of the lack of international cooperation and prosecution."
Deibert said experts coming to the University of Toronto event Monday are split on how to approach the matter. Some argue that regulation would be futile unless every country in the world agrees to the same norms. Others argue that focusing on technology misses the real problem of why the technology is being used.
"It's possible for both to be right. It's something that at least (requires) some considered dialogue," he said.

So weird to find myself posting here again, so here I go.
Unfortunately I do watch news globally. Most of the times it just makes me cry.
The recent school shootings in the US obviously came up on social media, especially Facebook, but I don't think Facebook is a good platform for old fashioned debate. So I will ask my questions here.
What in your opinion is really the reason for the school shootings in the US?
Choose your answer in the poll and tell me why you chose it.
I chose 3 of the answers because I believe there are quite few factors that causes the school shootings in America. For those of you on this forum that doesn't know me. I am not an American, but do follow some of your news.
From my observations the following factors contribute to the situation:-
1. Bullying in schools are a big problem. This causes anger that leads or contributes to these school shootings.
2. I find it amazing that you can keep an arsenal at your home in America and that children have access to such fire arms. Therefore I chose weak gun laws.
3. Weak family structures and low moral values also contributes in my opinion. Children learn to love and cherish and preserve, not at school, but at home. If these values are not taught or carried over to children by their parents, America is fighting a loosing battle.

A report says Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment, the publisher behind Scribblenauts and F.E.A.R. 2, will open a studio in Montréal to focus on developing games based on the Warner-owned D.C. Comics franchises.
The Canadian gaming news site GameFocus first reported the new studio's creation, and in a followup with Warner Interactive president Martin Tremblay, said the Montréal studio will work with Warner's newly formed D.C. Entertainment branch, which essentially reconstituted the D.C. Comics division as a division tasked with developing and managing its properties across more than just comic books.
GameFocus said Tremblay did not offer any details as to the Montréal studio's first game project. Tremblay himself will lead the studio, to be called WB Games Montréal. It is expected to employ as many as 300 people within the next five years.

Onde Nostre is a lifestyle documentary film that shows the peculiarity of the Italian surf scene and the beauty of this sport, even in a country that's not usually considered a top destination for catching waves.
This film is intended to show the passion and high level of the Italian surfers. Shot mainly in 16mm and super 8 and only a small part is shot digital in order to emphasize the beauty of the landscape. The film has a romantic approach to surfing. Action has a great relevance, with slow motion segments and an emotional editing. Onde Nostre also shows Italian surfers lifestyle and the endless search for good waves in the Mediterranean sea. We travelled in spring of 2010 between Liguria, Tuscany and the western part of Sardinia. The film breathes the grand and powerful landscapes where nature and our surfers are living in symbiosis. We had the chance to get into the lives of our riders, recording their emotions, their expectations and their joy. Showing parts were the human aspects and the hard part of being an athlete comes out.
Onde Nostre is a tribute to our sea (Mare Nostrum) and to the their people that keep on searching, believing in a simple life style made of small but important values: friendship, nature, the joy of doing what we love to do.
Support our sea. Long life to le Nostre Onde.
