Papoulias underlined what he called a "strategic partnership" between the two countries and made a special reference to the investment by the Chinese multinational Cosco at the port of Piraeus, the largest in the country, which "highlights China's interest in forging closer economic and commercial ties with Greece".
Papoulias described as a "thought of true friendship" China's interest in purchasing Greek state bonds amid the current difficult period for the Greek economy.
On his part, Jia referred to Papoulias as a "true friend of the Chinese people."
Later in the evening, a wide-ranging economic cooperation memorandum in the industry and infrastructure sectors was signed by Greek Development, Competitiveness & Shipping Minister Mihalis Chryssohoidis and China's visiting Vice-Minister of Commerce Zhong Shan.

[04] PM: Goal is to lighten debt burden on Greek citizensBRUSSELS (AMNA/M. Aroni)
Greek prime minister George Papandreou stressed late Sunday that "our goal is to lighten the burden of the debt that weighs down on the Greek citizens", in a statement at the end of a eurozone summit in Brussels, noting that the efforts of the Greek people have been acknowledged.
He added that Europe must take serious decisions of a European dimension.
Papandreou said that over the past two years the Greeks have made an unprecedented effort of an unprecedented fiscal adjustment.
"No citizen in any European country has shouldered such a burden in such a short time," Papandreou said, adding that "our effort is acknowledged by everyone."
"We are a proud people and we deserve respect," the Greek premier stressed.
Papandreou noted that the goal of the Greek side is to succeed in lightening the burden of the debt of the past, that weighs down on the Greek citizens, adding that, in order to solve decades-long problems, the country was proceeding with reforms and structural changes which, however, require time in order to produce results.
The premier said that the first stage began on Sunday of a tough negotiation that will address not only the Greek crisis but also the European crisis. "No problem will be solved if Europe itself does not take serious decisions that are of a Europe-wide dimension," he said, and expressed belief that the EU has the determination to create the conditions for growth, generating jobs, a competitive economy and social cohesion.
As for the Greek debt itself, Papandreou said the target is a viable solution that will include the private sector, and particularly the banks, in the distribution of the burden.
He further said that Greece is continuing to put its house in order. "With our credibility as the weapon, we are seeking a clearer, permanent solution for Greece and Europe," he said, adding that the negotiation was continuing, with Greece present, and with specific and clear-cut targets.
[05] PM Papandreou to meet President Papoulias on TuesdayPrime Minister George Papandreou will brief President of the Republic Karolos Papoulias at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday on discussions at European level regarding economic developments in the eurozone and efforts to handle the debt crisis.
[06] Barroso: Confident that final decisions will be taken Wednesday at new EU summitBRUSSELS(AMNA/V. Demiris)
A sustainable solution for Greece is part of the overall package that will be finalised by the EU for dealing with the debt crisis at a follow-up EU summit on Wednesday, European Council president Herman van Rompuy and European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso said late Sunday after EU and eurozone summits in Brussels.
"We welcome the vote by the Greek parliament on a new set of measures, as well as the decision by the Eurogroup to disburse the 6th tranche," Rompuy said, adding also that "we are working towards a solution with the private sector to improve sustainability as part of a new programme for Greece."
Barroso, in statements after the summits, formally announced "the agreement to disburse the European contribution to the next (6th) tranche of financial assistance to Greece", adding that a determined commitment for achievement of fiscal stability and promotion of the structural changes was awaited on the part of the Greek authorities.
He further said that the second programme for Greece was being formulated with the credible participation of the public and the private sector, and on the basis of the troika report on the sustainability of the Greek debt.
The Commission president also expressed confidence that final decisions on all the elements of the comprehensive response will be taken on Wednesday.
"We expect final decisions to be taken in 72 hours (Wednesday) and I am confident these decisions are going to be taken," Barroso said.
[07] FinMin on Parliament's vote of new borrowing programGovernment vice president and Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said on Monday evening that the government was considering the endorsement, by the Greek Parliament, of the country's new borrowing program with a broader (180) majority vote.
The new program will follow a Eurozone Summit on Wednesday regarding a "haircut" of Greek bonds.
"I briefed, by order of the prime minister, the opposition party leaders on everything: on the negotiations' framework, on basic numbers, the crucial questions, priorities, the dangers. It is obvious that the government considers that such issues should be dealt with an increased sense of responsibility. Therefore, they should be endorsed, if possible, by Parliament with a broad majority, not because this is legally necessary but because it is nationally imperative and politically liable," Venizelos told reporters in Brussels.
[08] ND attacks PM, gov't 'inefficiency'; blames Papandreou for country's poor image abroadMain opposition New Democracy spokesman Yiannis Mihelakis turned his fire on Prime Minister George Papandreou in person on Monday, blaming him for the country's poor image abroad and accusing him of failing to negotiate with his EU partners in order to protect Greece's interests.
He also noted that Papandreou, after three years of acting as though the crisis were a purely Greek phenomenon and making statements to the effect that he was governing a "corrupt country", had completely changed his tune now that the "unreliability and inefficiency of his government is being exposed".
"Yesterday he felt it necessary to state that the crisis was not Greek but European, forgetting that he had cultivated this conviction himself in order to harm ND," Mihelakis added.
He strongly criticised the prime minister but also Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos for acting as "onlookers" at EU meetings and failing to either negotiate or to present any Greek plans for the measures taken in the country, a mistake that for two years had taken matters from bad to worse.
He underlined the position of ND leader Antonis Samaras, who had stressed that Greece's debt could only be sustainable if there were high rates of growth and large primary surpluses, apart from any debt haircut that might be imposed.
"For this reason, there must be a jump-start of the Greek economy and a reduction of deficits," the spokesman said.
He also emphasised the dangers that Samaras foresaw resulting from a revision of the decisions of July 21, such as its impact on the resilience and control of the banking system, the need to recapitalise banks and ensure liquidity, the risks to pension funds, the risk of 'contagion' to the rest of Europe and the risks for the country's ability to meet its borrowing needs outside the market, as well as the dangers to the financial control of the country and even harsher austerity.
Mihelakis also repeated that the findings of an EU report on the Greek economy were particularly damning for the government, highlighting the failure of successive rescue plans for the Greek economy, putting the spotlight on delays and weaknesses in the preparation and implementation of structural reforms and confirming reports of illegal public-sector hiring.
[09] ND leader, Finmin speak on the telephoneFinance Minister and government vice-president Evangelos Venizelos contacted main opposition New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras on the telephone at around 4:00 p.m. on Monday and briefed him on developments so far during the ongoing negotiations for tackling Greece's debt at the European Union.
[10] LAOS leader seeks Parliament debate on EU summit resultsPopular Orthodox Rally (LAOS) party leader George Karatzaferis on Monday demanded an off-the-agenda Parliamentary debate between the party leaders on the results of the European Union summit, in a letter sent to the Parliament President.
Citing a statement by French President Nicolas Sarkozy concerning a "democratic deficit" resulting for the "concession of national sovereignty", Karatzaferis underlined that clarifications had to be given concerning the permanent placement of Commissioners at Greek ministries.
[11] SYRIZA attacks PM for agreements 'signing over' country's sovereigntyIn a stinging attack on Prime Minister George Papandreou on Monday, Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) Parliamentary group leader Alexis Tsipras said that his government "was completing its disastrous political cycle with the signature of an agreement that means permanent austerity, permanent supervision, a permanent loss of national sovereignty".
Tsipras said the agreement would not be able to stand, noting that its insistence on a policy of austerity could have only disastrous results but also because the Greek people had already shown their opposition.
"The Greek people have sent their message, both within Greece and in Europe. Greece is a sovereign country that has democracy. And its people are sovereign. Democracy in Greece, whether the government wants this or not, whether the supervisors in Brussels want this or not, will finally prevail. The Greek people will defeat all those who are trying to impose the bonds that will keep them bound for the next 50 years," he said.
[12] Leftist leader Kouvelis sees snap elections as way out of political impasseDemocratic Left president Fotis Kouvelis on Monday underlined that "snap elections emerge as necessary development that will lead the country out of political and social asphyxiation".
He stressed that political correlations should be changed to direct policies to a progressive and popular direction.
Referring to European developments and the Greek debt, Kouvelis said Europe has reached its limits by the developments prepared in Europe, which are aimed at dealing with the Greek debt and the generalised debt crisis in Europe.
Kouvelis stressed that the reduction of the Greek debt sounds attractive but, at the same time, it could be extremely negative in case it does not feature regulations that will guarantee social insurance funds, pensions and Greek bank deposits.
[13] Cyprus House President holds meetings in AthensThe international community and the EU should not just be passive observers of Turkish aggression against Cyprus but it should react, said in Athens on Monday President of the Cyprus House of Representatives Yiannakis Omirou.
Omirou met on Monday with leaders and representatives of Greek parliamentary parties during an official visit to Athens. He met main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Antonis Samaras, Secretary General of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) Aleka Papariga, George Karatzaferis the leader of the Popular Orthodox Rally (LAOS) and Parliamentary Spokesman of SYRIZA Panayiotis Lafazanis.
''We are faced with developments, challenges, dangers but also opportunities," Omirou said in statements to the press after his meetings, adding that ''the challenges should be met successfully, the opportunities should be seized and the dangers should be avoided''.
Turkish expansionism is not fiction, he noted, it is a constant threat not only for Cyprus but for the Aegean, and the Greek islands, adding that therefore Greece and Cyprus should face this real and ongoing danger jointly.
Referring to the ongoing UN led negotiations which aim to resolve the longstanding division of Cyprus, Omirou said that all political parties and the government of Cyprus have concluded that things are deteriorating, explaining that Turkish intransigence has become more evident and that developments show that Turkey has stepped up its aggressive behaviour with an aim to upgrade the Turkish Cypriot illegal regime in Cyprus' Turkish occupied areas or even to possibly promote its recognition.
''Turkey's provocations, threats and aggressive stance as regards the Republic of Cyprus' sovereign rights within its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) constitute an illegal policy which is in direct contrast with the Law of the Sea Convention and the basic rules of international law'', he noted.
The House President referred to the deployment of Turkish warships within Cyprus' EEZ and the presence of fighter planes over the area where exploration drilling is taking place, he said.
''The international community and the EU cannot observe this behaviour passively'', Omirou stressed, expressing the view that statements alone are not enough and that they have to react to Turkey's illegal behaviour.
During the meetings he had with Greek party leaders and representatives, the House President was briefed on the financial problems Greece is faced with.
He expressed Cyprus' full support to Greece in these difficult economic times and the hope that Greece would soon overcome its problems and start recovering.
Omirou thanked all leaders and representatives he met for their unwavering support.
On their part Greek political leaders expressed their support to Cyprus and their wish to join forces in dealing with developments in the Mediterranean, saying that the two countries can coordinate efforts to deal with Turkey's moves.
Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third. UN-led negotiations have been underway since 2008 between President of the Republic Demetris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu with a view to reunify the island under a federal roof.
Drilling in Cyprus' EEZ has begun and is being carried out by Houston-based ''Noble Energy'', off Cyprus' south-eastern coast. Following Nicosia's decision to begin drilling in its EEZ, Ankara has deployed warships in the Eastern Mediterranean.
The government of Cyprus has protested to the UN and the EU Turkey's moves, saying it has a sovereign right to exploit its natural resources, pointing out that Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots will benefit from any benefits that may come from oil drilling.
Cyprus has signed an agreement to delineate the Exclusive Economic Zone with Egypt and Israel with a view to exploit any possible natural gas and oil reserves in its EEZ. A similar agreement has been signed with Lebanon but the Lebanese Parliament has not yet ratified it.

[15] PM expresses sorrow for earthquake victims in TurkeyGreek Prime Minister George Papandreou on Monday expressed his deepest sorrow at the heavy loss of human life during the devastating earthquake that shook eastern Turkey on Sunday, extending his condolences to the families of the victims and those injured or left homeless by the quake.
"Greeks and Turks have suffered greatly from earthquakes. Nevertheless, these difficult times have brought us closer with active assistance and solidarity, supporting those struck by these major natural disasters."
"As in the past, so today, the Greek government and the Greek people are prepared to offer every kind of help possible," he said, according to a press release from the premier's office.

[18] Commission: Talks with private bondholders progressing satisfactoryBRUSSELS (AMNA / M. Spinthourakis)
A European Commission spokesman on Monday said the EU's executive would prefer an agreement under which private holders of Greek state bonds can voluntarily accept a reduction of the nominal value of their bonds, while he dismissed reports claiming that Greece would be put under some type of "guardianship", saying that the EU Treaty does not include any such provision.
Amadeu Altafaj, a spokesman for EU Commissioner Olli Rehn, said negotiations with private bondholders are progressing satisfactory and noted that "we are close to a solution". He declined any comment on the percentage of a possible "haircut", but stressed that a total cut in Greek debt would be a result of coordinated actions, both by private and national authorities.
Altafaj said any discussion over new measures, to be adopted by the Greek government, promotes structural reforms, which would help in boosting competitiveness of the Greek economy.
The EU spokesman said the European Commission does not wish, or can, place any EU member-state under guardianship, according to Community law, while he stressed that all EU member-states must report economic policies to Brussels.

[23] Strikes delay issue of notices for 'solidarity' taxThe General Secretariat for IT Systems announced on Monday that more than one million tax-payers have not yet received notices for the second installment of an emergency 'solidarity' tax levied by the government. It said the delay was caused by the repeated strikes of tax officials over the past month.
The new notices should have been sent to tax-payers that had paid the first installment of the tax in September.
Those wanting to pay the next installment have been advised to use either the receipt issued to them when they paid the first installment or the initial notice that was sent to them when they make their payment at a bank. If neither are available, they can also pay at their local tax office.
The finance ministry has not ruled out an extension of the deadline until early November in order to avoid congestion at tax offices.
The General Secretariat for IT Systems is also preparing to make the notices available from the Internet for tax-payers that submit their tax statements electronically, enabling them to use their code in order to print the notice and use them to pay the next installment.

[31] Pilot scheme to convert rundown Athens hotel into student residenceThe Greek environment ministry, defence ministry and the City of Athens on Monday announced a pilot scheme to convert the rundown "La Mirage" hotel in Omonia Square into cheap residential quarters for students and young people, along the lines of similar successful experiments to revive decayed inner city districts in other countries of Europe.
The hotel on Marika Kotopouli street, near Omonia Square, belongs to the Greek Airforce Shareholders' Fund and is currently closed down. The pilot scheme hopes to have it ready to act as cheap digs for young people and students by next September.
The renovation is part of a programme launched by the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Minister George Papaconstantinou to restore the city centre, in collaboration with National Defence Minister Panos Beglitis and Athens Mayor George Kaminis.
Incentives designed to attract student tenants include a low monthly rent of about 200 euro, combined with advantages such as the easy access to public transport, the historic centre, round-the-clock security and cheap cleaning and laundry services.
In addition to its 208 rooms, the hotel also has three restaurants, a bar, a cafe and a conference hall that can be used as common areas for the use of residents, as well as a parking area.
The building's renovation will be financed by the Green Fund, as well as other sources, and carried out by the Athens municipality.
Based on its results, the project may be used as a model for restoring other buildings in the city centre that are now in disuse.

Building Cross-Cultural Understanding Through Facebook/
This assignment uses social media to give students a chance to have meaningful cross-cultural interactions while learning about social psychology and ways to promote international dialogue, peace, and social justice. In this particular case, a Facebook page was co-developed by psychology classes in Egypt and the United States, and student groups in each class were asked to design a program that would improve relationships between Muslims and non-Muslim Westerners by using what they had learned about (1) the causes of prejudice and intergroup conflict, and (2) methods for reducing prejudice and making peace. After students designed their programs, they discussed them in class and then posted their ideas to the Facebook page for comments by students from the other country. As a result of this cross-cultural exchange, students often reported that they had not only learned about psychology of prejudice reduction but that their own prejudices had been reduced. As one student summed up the experience in her final Facebook post: "thank you all for teaching so much in such a short period of time! I learned a lot about you and about myself from this project, and I know that the lessons I learned will stay with me for the rest of my life."

It's a bit of a task when you need to update a site into a group especially for a multisite environment with a lot of sites. It would be nice to either search by url name and have options such as "Show:" then have a drop down with a list of the groups. Any thoughts?

Hillsdale College Chargers (2-1, 2-0 GLIAC)
at Lake Erie College Storm (1-2, 0-2 GLIAC)
When: Saturday, Sept. 24, 2011 at 1 p.m.
Where: Jack Britt Memorial Stadium (3,000 capacity) in Painesville, Ohio (DIRECTIONS)
Live Stats: http://livestats.prestosports.com/lakeerie
TV/Internet Broadcast: None
Radio/Web Broadcast: ESPN 970 WFUN, Craig Deas (play-by-play) and Mark Richard(analyst)
Website: www.LakeErieStorm.com
QUICK NOTES: Lake Erie closes a two-game homestand as it welcomes nationally-ranked Hillsdale to The Britt on Homecoming/Alumni Weekend... the Storm (1-2, 0-2 GLIAC) fell behind early 21-0 last week against Saginaw Valley State before rallying to get within a touchdown at 28-20. But a late TD with five minutes to go clinch the win for the Cardinals and sent LEC to a 35-20 defeat, the second in a row for the Storm. Despite the loss, senior WR Brandon James (Mentor) had his fifth career 100-yard receiving game (8 catches, 101 yards, 1 TD) and junior K Sam Marcotte (Chardon) kicked a pair of field goals and recovered his own onside kick. Sophomore S DaVon Coman (Akron North) made a carer-high 11 tackles on defense and senior S Steve Bensinger (South Range) became the first player in school history with two interceptions in a game. After dropping its opener, Hillsdale has won two straight. The Chargers knocked off Grand Valley State 34-31 two weeks ago and outlasted Ashland 40-34 in triple overtime last Saturday. These two teams combined for 79 points and over 925 yards of offense in a thrilling 42-37 game last year in Hillsdale, won by the then 12th-ranked Chargers.
UP NEXT: The Storm is on the road next weekend for a 7 p.m. kickoff at Ferris State University on Saturday night, Oct. 1.

© ARVO (1962-2015); The Authors (2016-present)
Purpose :
Mutations in the BEST1 gene can cause bestrophinopathies including Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD), autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy (ARB), autosomal dominant vitreoretinochoroidopathy, and adult-onset vitelliform macular degeneration. The purpose of this study was to determine the BEST1 mutation spectrum in a cohort of Chinese patients with BVMD or autosomal ARB and describe the clinical features of the patients with BEST1 mutations.
Methods :
A total of 31 probands were recruited for genetic analysis, including 15 patients diagnosed with BVMD and 16 individuals with ARB; of them, only 6 probands had family history. All probands underwent detailed ophthalmic examinations. All coding exons and exon-intron boundaries of the BEST1 gene were screened for mutations by PCR-based DNA sequencing, followed by analyses for pathogenicity by in silico programs. Real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) was performed to detect any genomic DNA rearrangements of the BEST1 gene.
Results :
For BVMD patients, one heterozygous BEST1 mutations were identified in 12 probands and compound heterozygous mutations in two patients. For ARB patients, two mutant alleles were identified in 11 patients and one mutant allele in 5 patients. In total, 32 disease-causing variants of the BEST1 gene, including 17 novels, were identified. The identified mutations included 25 (83.3%) missense, 1 (3.3%) nonsense, 3 (10.0%) splicing effect, and 1 (3.3%) frameshift small duplication mutations.
Conclusions :
Mutations that cause ARB differ from those that cause BVMD. Genetic analyses are essential to diagnose ARB correctly in consequence of considerable phenotypic variations.

UK cyber security firm teams with Muscat University to deliver new courses
London-based cyber security specialist Templar Executives has entered into a new partnership with Muscat University and Oman's National Security Services Group.
According to a statement released by the university, the deal will lead to the establishment of a Cybersecurity Education Center in the sultanate, with Templar Executives providing accredited training courses.
A signing ceremony was held on the university's campus to mark the occasion. In attendance were Professor Yusra bint Ali Al Mouzughi, vice-chancellor of Muscat University; the chief executive of the National Security Services Group and representatives of the British Embassy in Oman.
Awareness of the recently introduced General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) looks set to form a key part of the training programme, in particular the implications for organisations that wish to continue working with bodies within the UK and the EU following the introduction of new rules governing the storage and handling of people's personal data.
Professor Mouzughi said: "Muscat University has the sound vision, fundamental requirements and facilities to host and present such important and modern courses in the Sultanate, thus the University in cooperation with its partners will design the various training programs in the field of cyber security to maximize the benefits of the Omani Society in particular and the region in general.
"It will contribute to increasing the level of awareness and full understanding of the cyber security concept."
A statement from the National Security Services Group added: "We are proud of this partnership today, and we were able to build a successful constructive relationship with the relevant establishments and establish a specialised platform in this field that will provide the beneficiaries with the necessary skills and capabilities to meet potential challenges."
Templar Executives said in a Tweet that it was looking forward to a "long and successful partnership".

Arnold Arboretum, Mothers Day
Oregon Refresh
Portland, Oregon
I took a weekend after the amazing Struktur Conference for outdoor industry designers, to go outdoors myself, for some much needed nature time and greenery. And man, did Oregon deliver, with unseasonably warm spring weather and impossible brilliant greens that saturated my vision even when I closed my eyes.
I could feel the calm washing over me, from the vegetation and the mountains in a way that my heart had been craving and my stress knotted muscles almost cried with relief at receiving. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect adventure in the woods of the Columbia Gorge.
The spring water flowed everywhere in beautiful ways that set my ocean mountain loving self alive, from tiny impossibly perfect bonsai like springs to falls that dwarfed the massive jurassic scale trees and tiny people. The Angel Falls above lived perfectly up their name with the halo of light which, like the beautiful moss which surrounds so much, this weekend as the perpetual rains stopped the sun glowed around everything, and shone on Oregon!
I look forwards to heading back into the Oregon woods very very soon, I am hooked!

Travel Workouts
When traveling I love to run, but often can't find the time so it's time with Adriene which makes the cut, for both a mini yoga workout and some zen humor.
This Austin yogi is a hoot and also a good enough instructor with enough new classes coming out to keep me coming back to the mat for whatever I need. I highly recommend checking her out on her site or her free youtube videos.
Mustang Families
We had the privilege of heading to the Horse Tenders Kokal Family farm in Greenfield New Hampshire last week to meet the herd of rescued mustangs. It was a powerful experience to walk through the herd, who are deeply bonded in a way which I have never experienced with domestic horse breeds and interacted with us each in their own lovely way, and with deep curiosity which had nothing to do with treats and everything to do with interpersonal exchanges between two intelligent beings.
The calm and joy of it all is something I can still shut my eyes and stand in. These horses, all once abused and thrown away, as are most of the mustangs in our culture, tragically, are now teachers of us humans, patient and sometimes humorous, reconnecting us to nature and our better selves.
It was an utter joy and a gift, and something I look forwards to doing again when I head back to New Hampshire in late spring to take a horsemanship lesson with horse whisperer genius, Chris Kokal.
Absolutely check out their site!
Blue Room good times
Big Sky daze
I never have particularly good film or shots of skiing as I simply am engrossed in, well skiing. The silence, beauty, physicality, challenges to overcome, thrills and camaraderie. Skiing to me is a sort of coming home, and skiing in Montana is the best sort. This is a poor mans homage to that but a bit of fun at least.
The lunch yurt in the back off of Shedhorn is always a lovely break and I was thrilled have a healthy enough year to start getting into the Headwaters in Moonlight. Daunting and awesome!
Horsing Around at Lone Mountain Ranch
I adore these guys, they are massive 2000 pound goofballs from tug of war, to bunny hops and trying to mouth everything in sight, they are such show offs and fun to chill with. I love heading to Lone Mountain Ranch to hang with these gorgeous boys.

Skijoring Bozeman
Not for the faint of heart the Duckworth Montana Classic run by the Gallatin Valley Skijoring Association in Bozeman on Saturday was an awesome festival of horses, cowboys and cowgirl, nutty ex ski racers, dogs, fun, stupidity, speed, beer, fun and friends. I was in heaven!
Each categories the riders and skiers got faster and bolder with the Pro racers competing for big money. The horses flew by at a full on gallop, rider pushing them faster, as their skier slalomed through gates, over three significant jumps-landing on teeth jarring flats, while grabbing the three rings - any faults caused an addition of 5 seconds to the teams finishing time. In true ski racer form (and rodeo style, I imagine, I have less experience in this area) after the teams showed their serious skills down the track, they then showed their party skills on the return, juggling beers in the saddle or while ski skating or being towed. And yes, Montanans' included, we were pretty damned impressed.
I mean really, what could be more perfect than a combination of all the best things in life - skiing, horses, Montana, snow, friends and a bit of alcohol on a gorgeous winter saturday afternoon.

Misadventures "City Creep and the Perfect Outdoor woman"
At the risk of having to Misadventure Magazine articles in a row, I must share this spot on article by the talented Kristin Warkentin about what the outdoors should be/was, and how social media and the "City Creep" are encroaching on even this sacred space.
As someone just coming off a much needed social media break I couldn't agree more!
Dec 26, Kristin Warkentin, Misadventures Magazine
....The ubiquitousness of the "perfect outdoor woman" mythology means that worry about how I look is creeping into the backcountry.
The backcountry is literally the only place, aside from my living room couch, where I feel I have permission to stop thinking about my parrot nose, or whether my hair is getting wavy in only one direction again, or whether waxing my eyebrows will make the rest of my face look unkempt by comparison.
The problem with city creep, especially of the impossible-beauty-standards variety, is that I'm not sure what we can do about it. (Okay, we already have an answer to the coffee cup problem: they're called thermoses and they're seriously underrated.) I dream of starting a hashtag for women looking less than perfect outside....

At least zoris float. There is an upside to every situation, if you look hard enough. I sat on the narrow rim of the 16 foot tall plastic catchment, hovering over my reflection in the murky water, my zori, thong or flip flop, depending on what part of the world you're in, was floating just below the surface in the decidedly unappealing looking water. But then if the water looked unappealing for swimming, how was it okay that we drank this? Sure we boiled it, but judging from the other objects in the water this was probably not enough. And there was my filthy shoe joining the soup of the drinking water. Perfect.
I hung precariously over the edge and paddled the water to bring the precious footwear to me. At least I wouldn't have to swim for it, as I first thought. This would definitely been a bad situation. The water level after our drought finally breaking was just high enough to drown in eventually and low enough to get stuck in, out of reach of the rim. Few islanders knew how to swim so they were unlikely to help with anything involving water. But the shoe was mine and back with its made, weakly protecting my foot.
The rest of the situation was less positive, if equally exotic. No exotic - sounds sexy, like a watermelon mint martini. My life was definitely not a martini, at this moment, or really this year on the island of Majuro. Odd, crazy and irritating were more apt words, more like the Micronesian drink of choice, kava. It looks and tastes like mud, makes your tongue tingle, feel fizzy, then go numb. Yeah, my life was Kava, but at least I wasn't swimming in it.
The reason that my zori had fallen into my drinking water was that I was climbing up the outer cinder block wall of our house, plastering myself in chips of the cheap white paint, to inspect the hole ripped in the eaves of the metal roof. Never was the adage "idle hands…" and trouble, more true then in the Marshall Islands. (Unemployment rates here are far higher then employment, in a way that makes someone with a job the neighborhood cash cow, further dis-incentivizing paid work. Something like 88-12, 88% unemployed that is!) Travis had discovered the intruders in the attic space, confirming that I was not paranoid, and that there actually where people crawling around above us watching through the grates and cracks, that the noises I heard when I bucket showered were quite real. (Sometimes one would rather be paranoid and crazy than right.)
As it turned out our peeping Toms had ripped a massive 10 foot long hole in the eaves, way beyond what my basic carpentry skills with our small nails and a rock skills could manage to patch. But as the resident Mom and Dad, as in the doers and fixer in the dorm, it was up to Trav and I to get on this. Never mind that people were so freaked out that they were doubling up in their rooms to keep safe from the nighttime visits, we had to fix it ourselves.
But the floating zori was definitely a break. With the way life is here one would expect the zori to sink the bottom. Sitting on the metal roof, higher than I had been over the island since I had flown back from my escape to Australia I surveyed the flat slums below me and the endless pacific on both sides only feet away. You were constantly reminded here in Micronesia how small your environment was and how vast the world is. The breeze and clean ocean air from the pacific to the lagoon felt good, above the tight cinder block houses and sparse palm trees..
The past week has been a blur of migraines brought on by the repeated visit of a student beaten by her mother. The child would be a gem in any culture, and here she is rarer then high ground in Majuro, with her questions, ideas and insights. All her mother sees is someone too smart, too high. And I was furious with myself, brought low by it all like some Victorian lady with her smelling salts. I have never felt so inadequate. I fed her, listened for endless hours night after night to all of her terrifically sad stories told without self pity and let her cry. We watched the stars and talked about the world as we had in good times, about the universe, potential, big questions. Both of us knowing full well that I was almost powerless, but in a culture where rampant suicide rates are often attributed to parental cruelty and simple lack of love, a listening ear is valuable. Even if it kills me to be only that, I will see that she knows she is valued, that all of my students get that from me. I may not be the best teacher, but that I can give in spades.
A zori shoots up into my peripheral vision and I realized the roofing supplies have arrived and it's back to work. No more resting on my perch taking in the sights, I need to tighten down the roof and lock down the fort, at least for a day or two.

March 2005
I'm back into the island melee with a vengeance. Funny notables today, my classroom was broken into again while I was away on my desperately needed vacation, but no real surprise there. I guess that puts my collective robberies in the dozen now. Though they actually battered in one of the [wooden] windows, which is a new tactic. I'm unphased since everything is long gone, and the one thing that is never stolen are the books – sad, ironic, and convenient. And so we go on.
Quotes from the classroom from me,
'Kiland, save the body piercing for after class' (something about the culture here, Micronesians seem to like to self pierce with small sticks, slowly and over time! Fine, just not in my 6th grade classroom, however filthy and basic a space it is.)
'Boston, as beautiful as your feet are I want them on the floor.' Agh, there is nothing like hearing yourself channeling teachers of your past.
Back at the dorm house, my little runt kitten died, as Darwin's Law suggested he would. And Ivory's father seems to have abandoned his family, as the disgusting nature of men here also suggested that. These are some of the things which I cannot address yet, life is often nasty here, it is no paradise, as I long ago figured out.
Everything in my bedroom actually grew a fine green mold, which is a bit weird given I was gone less than 2 weeks, but 95% humidity at work. We have potable water again after the big storm dirtied all the sources, so that's great. And coming back from the mainland the bucket cold showers are not as bad as I recalled. The racism against mainland Asians is far worse than I recalled, and the island subsistence of canned food is less traumatic then I expected after the heavenly diet of fresh produce and fruit in Oz. You eat what you get here, and are grateful for it. But the respite in Oz, the farmers market full of fresh fruits, endless baskets of fruits, some which I had never even seen before. In my enthusiasm, I ate the lychee pits until Nharyan laughingly told me you didn't – made sense they were not so edible – but I was so grateful for the fruit and in awe of the flavors! Byron was heaven for the eyes and tastebuds.
When I first came to Majuro it used to piss me off that everyone you met would say "I'm fine" when asked. Never ever good or bad, just fine. How bland, but the reality is, life isn't ever good, and as long as you have food, shelter and are relatively healthy you are fine, and that's about all you can aim for. Maybe its sad, or maybe it just is. Having experienced so much happiness in ones life is both a gift and a handicap here. You can cling to it like a flotation device in bad times, verses the abuse drugs and alcohol so common, but the memory of happiness can also pull you down. Knowing what happiness felt like and losing it, craving it like an addiction. Still I think I have slowly learned how to stay afloat here and even be pretty happy pretty often. But then this is not my forever life, something I am deeply conscious of as I keep track of the days…
Close but faraway; a birthday walk in the woods
Walk the Ridge by Mathieu Le Lay
Get Lost!
There is nothing more glorious, and an accessible reminder of the freedom at our finger tips than walking out the door, hopping in the car, and getting lost, to find the yourself.
It can be easy to feel trapped or isolated, in our modern culture of contentedness, in ones work, town, community or even home. But especially in the US, land of the road trip, we can find instant adventure with the rediscovery of limitless potential, even if it is just for an afternoon, a weekend of roaming freely.
In exploring new ground, by meeting new people and gaining new perspectives, literally and figuratively, we push back the walls we may feel on our own life, in our own limits.
This is one of my favorite Saturday pastimes, or ways to use vacation time. When the road unfurls before you, and you can know you might turn left, or you might turn right, neither is wrong, both will bring adventure...! You can feel the full breath filling your lungs and the stress leaving your shoulders. You find the extraordinary in your daily life, no passport or plan required, in fact, better off without those! Just the open road, open mind and a free spirit!

7 reviews for SD-05 THE PRO SOFT
I normally use Pro V1 but this ball was far better than expected. Great soft feel and no difference in distance. I think I've found my new ball!
I love this ball, and the great price! Super impressed with the distance and feel around the greens, and it's so soft off my putter. I think it's a real winner, looking forward to my next round!
I played my first round with the Tour Soft SD•05 Prototype today. What an incredible ball!! Long off the tee (got a 320 yard monster) soft on approach shots and around the green (bites so well) and loads of feel off the putter.
This ball is a rival for some of the best. I normally play a Wilson Staff DX3 Spin but the SD•05 knocks spots off it.
The durability of the SD•05 is insane too, for a ball with such a soft feel this thing is up for the task.
Genuinely the BEST ball I have ever played and I'm looking forward to using it for a long time to come.
Used the SD-05 ball for the first time and one of the best balls I've tried for a number of years… including your ProV 1's …. durable, long and great feel. Looks great with the putting aid lining up well with my putter as well. Great value to boot !!!
I've now played 5+ rounds with the SD-05. It's a great ball, soft and low spin of the driver with the grip, stop and spin I want around the greens and on the low iron approaches.
I have been playing Chrome Soft for some time now but the SD-05 will be replacing it in my bag. No need to be a name snob when the ball is this good.
A much cheaper alternative than Pro V1 / TP5 and equally as good as any 'tour ball' I've played this year.

I worked more on The Broken Hourglass yesterday & today. I really am almost done with this quest.
However, having spent such a long time writing it, I am now written out.
So--more later on quests, the limitations and freedoms of game writing, and the stuff I always forget.
For now, I will say that a) I'm tired and b) Yes, it was fun.

PHILADELPHIA — The hard stuff happens behind closed doors, away from prying eyes and curious souls. These are conversations no manager wants to have, and no player wants to hear, because it means something has gone wrong. It means something is broken.
"There's two things you never want to do as a manager," Terry Collins said Friday night, maybe half an hour after the Mets had clinched a tie for a wild card with a 5-1 win over the Phillies. "One is manage a star at the end of his career. The other is to bench a star."
Collins had to bench a star a couple of times across the past few weeks. Now, Mets fans may not think of Jay Bruce as a star because he has scuffled so much across his first two months in New York, but Bruce is a three-time All-Star, he has twice finished in the top 10 MVP voting, he has hit 241 career home runs before his 30th birthday.
But none of that mattered as he kept flailing at pitches, as he kept falling behind 0-and-2 in just about every at-bat, as he looked utterly lost at the plate. And rock bottom kept getting lower; you might have thought it had arrived Sept. 20, when he was removed late in a game against the Braves so Eric Campbell — a lifetime .224 hitter — could spare him an at-bat against a left-hander.
Except Bruce was out of the lineup the next four days; he was benched. That, friends, is the rockiest and bottom-est of rock bottom.
"I always want to play," Bruce said Friday. "But I respect Terry's decision."
Here's the thing, though: Even as he kept Bruce's name out of the lineup for those four critical must-have games, and even as there grew a clamor among the faithful to replace him permanently with home-grown fair-haired boy Michael Conforto, Collins kept insisting Bruce's time was coming.
That sounded on a lot of days like so much howling at the moon.
But Collins believed it. It's why he made sure to tell Bruce it was a temporary fix, one he had prescribed for Neil Walker earlier in the season when Walker couldn't get out of his own way, and it had sparked Walker to a surge just before his back sabotaged him. It's why each of those conversations pained Collins, because he could see how badly Bruce wanted to contribute to the cause.
And it's why the skipper has to be feeling complete gratification now that Bruce has justified both Collins' faith and his fortitude in keeping him on the bench as long as he did. Bruce hit another home run Friday — his third in three games — and he had three hits and three RBIs. His single in the fourth tied the game; his final hit, a flare off lefty Joely Rodriguez, drove in his 99th run of the year.
"We knew when we got him if he could start swinging the bat he'd change our lineup," Collins said. "And he does."
Bruce, befitting the back of his baseball card, stops short of saying he's grateful for the time Collins gave to clear his head. In his mind, in his experience, slumps always come to an end. There's always the other side. But he also concedes the Mets were in no position to exhibit endless patience.
"These guys in here are more than capable," Bruce said. "I knew they could pick me up."
Lately, it's been on Bruce to return the favor, and he has, and it is one of the things the Mets will need once the new portion of their schedule begins next week. Their very best odds are long, since the reward for winning the wild-card game is three-out-of-five with the Cubs.
Still …
You like those odds better if you have a version of Jay Bruce in the lineup that more closely resembles the .265/.316/.559 player he was with the Reds this year — or the .545/.615/1.363 version he has been the last three games — as opposed to the .200/.277/363 imposter who inhabited his jersey in the weeks in between.
"There were a lot of people in that clubhouse who were in his corner," Collins said, and a lot of curious eyes wondering how the manager and the star handled the worst of times. Now they know. Now they see. And the second season can't get here fast enough.

My Madeleine
It's funny how it goes.
One minute,
you're a child born into an upper middle-class family in France with no apparent problems. The mere things you have to concern yourself with are being decently mannered and doing well at school.
The next,
You are forty years old and you are filled with sadness as your beloved grandfather's casket gets lowered into the ground. You finally realize just how much time has passed since you last sported fresh cherries as make-believe earrings.
It is then it hits you hard: you, your loved one, aren't meant to be around forever.
My dear Papy is gone.
I still have vivid memories of my childhood. Surrounded with two loving parents, four grandparents and five great-grandparents as well as a myriad of cousins, it was a good one.
Summers were spent in a castle. There were mad races in the fields of my native Burgundy, astronomy sessions held in the middle of the night, five-course birthday meals, hours spent reading.
I can still taste the blackcurrant meringue pie, smell the Sunday lamb roast, feel the sting of nettles on my shins. And with that, the smell of the vinegar my grandma used to rub on my stings and rashes haunts my nose again.
I remember how great-grandma Méjeanne's caramels stuck to my teeth while she squarely beat me at dominos.
I remember the touch of heirloom linens against my skin as I slipped into a cold sleigh bed.
I remember my grandfather forever swirling a tartine of bread and jam in his morning coffee until it near disintegrated into the dark brew.
I remember…
So much. So much I could almost feel it.
And yet, I am left combating the feeling that with every person lost, slices of my memories fade away.
My grandfather is gone but his spirit combs through the fields of wheat in the Burgundian plains. I can feel him alive in the breeze, in the frozen rivers on the cold mountain days, up in the cherry trees where the juiciest fruit are.
His creative genius lives on every time we use that improbable bathroom he built suspended above a barn.
Popping a Champagne bottle will forever remind me of him. The bubbles in my mouth will tickle like his joyous laugh did.
I look over this view from my childhood. It has barely changed, and yet it has changed so much. Nature has claimed a few sick trees, and with them my beloved grandpa.
I close my eyes and breathe deeply. If I stand still, really still, he is there, right there, resting in his hammock in the shade of our weeping willow, smoking his pipe, whistling, and watching over us.
Arvi pa, Papy.

First Impressions: July Ipsy Glam Bag
After a full year of my Ipsy subscription, this is my last bag. After a few not so good bags, thinking about whether or not I get good responses to these types of posts, and what I would rather use that $10 a month for, keeping the subscription just didn't make sense.
I cancelled my subscription before I knew what this month's bag looked liked, and when I received it I'm happy I cancelled. The only product I'm excited about is the bareMinerals 5-in-1 BB Advanced Performance Cream Eyeshadow. The pigmentation is great and it's a lovely chocolate brown color. Everything else is meh. The polish is a blue I don't like wearing and the pixi lip product doesn't have any color to it. The Be fine moisturizer is intriguing, but the tanning oil is definitely not my cup of tea.
I'll give everything an honest go and report back to you one more time before putting these posts to rest. What do you think? Do you think cancelling the subscription is a good idea? Are you interested in any of these products?
xoxo Kayla

The Role
Cornwall Council is creating a brand-new company to invest and develop for the future. Our plans are ambitious and game-changing with up to £600m to be invested in new housing and workspace that will have an extraordinary and transformative impact on Cornwall's future. Right now, we're building a team that can bring development expertise from the commercial world to create the blueprint for a new way of living, working and thriving in Cornwall.
