MOUNT ROSE SKI AREA, Nev.—Off to the side of a ski run, a cluster of people in snowshoes watch intently as Jeff Anderson demonstrates a snow survey.
Anderson takes a firm stance and grips a hollow aluminum tube like King Arthur about to put Excalibur back into the stone. He twists the tube into the snow and withdraws it, removing a plug of snow in the process. Then it's the students' turn.
One pupil tries an advanced technique: the "javelin" approach, thrusting the tube into the snowpack with both hands. His sample doesn't match the measured snow depth. Anderson, the Nevada water supply specialist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service, tells him to try again.
About 55 students—from 12 states, Canada, a Montana tribe, three utilities and the federal government—are here at Lake Tahoe to learn the art of snow surveying. It's a crucial task in the West, where snowpack provides up to 80 percent of the water supply. The Natural Resources Conservation Service funds snow-surveying operations in 12 Western states, including Alaska.
Farmers, reservoir managers, boat salespeople and mushroom hunters are among those who depend on NRCS's weekly water and climate reports and monthly water supply forecasts.
Chad Blanchard, the federal water master who oversees the distribution of water from Lake Tahoe and two area rivers, is here in Tahoe City to see the latest figures.
Blanchard's position as enforcer of water rights in the Tahoe region was created by the court in 1926, after a decade of wrangling over limited supplies. He depends on NRCS data to figure out how much water he needs to release from the lake and several other reservoirs in order to meet supply, streamflow and flood control requirements.
"When you introduce water into the equation, it becomes very, very prone to disputes and arguments," Blanchard said. "Neighbors that were friends at one time end up hating each other."
Local irrigation districts depend on the forecasts to tell farmers how much water to expect for their crops.
Measuring an ugly problem
"This time of year, I start getting lots of calls from our users in the project," said Walt Winder, deputy district manager of the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District, which serves about 2,500 farmers on 73,000 acres in western and central Nevada—a region that typically receives less than 4 inches of precipitation per year.
"How much water am I going to have available?" Winder said. "Do I have enough to do rotation? What am I going to and not going to be able to do with the amount of water I have?"
At Lake Tahoe, the birthplace of snow surveying, results are paltry in mid-January, which is typically the snowiest month. The area receives 190 inches of snow per year, on average—46 inches of it by January. The snow surveyors at Mount Rose turn up just 22 inches.
"Tahoe City is a very good indicator of the basin," Blanchard said. "It's a very good indicator of overall precipitation and moisture health of the basin.
"When you get potentially zero precipitation in what should be your biggest month on average, it gets worrisome, obviously."
The snow surveys are decidedly low-tech: A classics professor, James Church of the University of Nevada, Reno, devised the method in 1906 after Lake Tahoe rose to unprecedented levels and residents pressured the local utility to release water down the Truckee River to protect their lakefront property.
The utility needed a way to predict how much water would be entering the lake from the surrounding mountains. Church's method turned out to be accurate within a 10 percent margin. NRCS took over the measurements in the 1930s and has been conducting them, with help from other agencies and private partners, ever since.
Measuring the depth and weight of the snow and doing some basic calculations to determine water content solves the problem of how much water to expect in the spring once the snow begins to melt and make its way down the mountains. Before Church invented snow surveys, water content was measured by taking a sample and melting it.
Since the 1970s, manual surveying has been supplemented by much more advanced techniques, including about 865 fluid-filled steel "pillows" that gauge snow weight and height, as well as satellites that measure the changes in snow thickness from year to year.
But the snow surveyors persist, trekking out to 1,100 manual checkpoints across the West. Some sites are extremely remote, like the one in Wyoming's Bridger-Teton National Forest that can only be reached by a day's ride on horseback.
Anderson and Mike Strobel, the director of NRCS's National Water and Climate Center, coach the students, making sure they avoid common rookie mistakes like discarding the dirt from the end of the tube too close to the sampling site, where it will act as a heat dump, absorbing sunlight faster than the surrounding snow and skewing future measurements.
Poised to break a 1910 record
The students also spend several days undergoing outdoor survival training. While training normally involves learning to build a snow cave and spending the night in it, the lack of snow at Tahoe this year meant that they constructed shelters with tarps and trees. Before turning in for the night, they gathered at a bonfire, sipped hot chocolate and told jokes.
Despite the extreme drought now stretching into a fourth year in California, the water experts at Lake Tahoe weren't eager to point the finger at climate change.
Strobel said that evidence of climate change is patchy. "In certain regions and at certain sites, we are seeing changes associated with the changing climate," Strobel said. Some sites are registering more rain rather than snow, and within streams themselves, "we're seeing the peak in the streamflow occurring earlier, indicating the snowmelt is happening at an earlier period."
Blanchard pointed out that although Tahoe City receives an average of 31.3 inches of rain per year, the actual precipitation levels fluctuate wildly. "It's definitely cyclical and varying," he said.
"We don't seem to see the trends," Blanchard said. "We've never really had more than two wet years and an average year in a row."
Even a more subtle measurement, like more precipitation falling as rain instead of snow, isn't apparent, Blanchard said. "We see that for a time, but then it goes back up, snow to rain, so there's not even a significant signal on that data as much as you'd think with the discussions" about climate change, he said.
Still, this year would be a statistical outlier if it turns out to be dry.
"We've never had four years in a row below 90 percent" average precipitation, Blanchard said. "If this year ends up being significantly drier than average, it would be the first since 1910."

The success of any business in the contemporary world is determined by several factors. Your clients, as well as your employees, have to come fast. These two parties have to be taken care of in a very professional manner such that the employees must work in a clean offices and the customers must meet your premises always clean; a combination of this is what makes the employees see that you value them and your client sees that you respect them too. For this to be realized, it is important to always work with reputable cleaning firm which is renowned for offering exquisite cleaning service. With the numerous players in the commercial cleaning field, it is critical for you to know how to pick the right commercial cleaning company.
Reputable Commercial Cleaning Lincoln firm are very good to work with. This is because there are numerous reasons which make a particular commercial cleaning company reputable. They have to be offering high quality cleaning services to their clients, they must very friendly in the way they handle their cleaning tasks, and most importantly, they must be attending to the cleaning duties in a very timely manner. It is a very dangerous affair to have the cleaning firm arrive late at your premises or even finish the cleaning job when it already time for business. Time is money in any business any business and every commercial cleaning firm should treat this with all due respect.
Any commercial premise requires a very holistic approach. Your commercial place which may be even an office or hardware has various subsections which call for different cleaning approaches and techniques. As such, you need a commercial cleaning company which is adept in employing various cleaning methods. Hence, it is a plus to evaluate skills of the cleaning professionals as well as the tools which the firm is employing. You obviously don't want instances of the cleaning firm leaving some of the cleaning areas half-done, some areas with stains or even dust. A good commercial cleaning firm should have the capacity to handle any commercial cleaning need.
It is also very wise to factor in the cost of the Building Maintenance Lincoln services. You will find every commercial cleaning firm having very different rate card. Avoid commercial cleaning firm which charge you very cheap only to offer poor cleaning services or the ones which charge expensively for no good reason. The cost factor should not make you forget that you are chasing for high quality cleaning services; both the cost and the worth of services should match and go for the one which charges reasonably and has quality cleaning services. Finally, good commercial cleaning firms always do a very clear project estimation for free and always available.s

You will have another opportunity Wednesday night to kick the tires in person on the plan to create Bus Rapid Transit on Madison. In the meantime, King County and the City of Seattle have released a RapidRide expansion plan that includes the 2019 startup of Madison's RapidRide G as part of a growing, cross-city network of optimized bus corridors including a plan for what we presume would be RapidRide M or N or O or P on 23rd Ave by 2024.

What the latest designs for RapidRide G look like, Madison Bus Rapid Transit block by block
The City of Seattle has released its latest designs and is collecting public feedback on what is being billed as a powerful overhaul of E Madison that will change east-west travel in Central Seattle from downtown, through First Hill, Capitol Hill, the Central District, and into Madison Valley. Judging by a few of the designs for blocks along the route, Seattle City Hall will need your help to get it right.
This month, public feedback will shape the final designs for the Seattle Department of Transportation's updated Madison Street Bus Rapid Transit project — now known as RapidRide G. You can provide feedback in person beginning Thursday on First Hill or again next week on Capitol Hill. You can also weigh in online:
Thursday, March 9
Town Hall, Downstairs
1119 8th Ave
Wednesday, March 15
First African Methodist Episcopal Church
1522 14th Ave
Give feedback online!
If you can, make time for an in-person visit and add your thoughts online. Last year, SDOT collected public comments on the proposed project that would create a BRT line from 1st Ave downtown to Martin Luther King Jr. Way. The project team has furthered the project's design since then, reshaping the $120 million plan. Continue reading
Bus Rapid Transit: Weigh in on Madison's new station and road designs
The framework may already be set for a new 11-stop "bus rapid transit" line along Madison, but you can still have a say on the interior design.
Stretching from 1st Ave downtown to MLK Way in Madison Valley, the future Madison BRT will travel in a dedicated center lane with island stops from 9th Ave to 14th Ave while the rest of the route will either run curbside with right-turning traffic or in mixed traffic. Within that outline there are still some decisions to be made.
City planners are holding three community meetings around Capitol Hill in August to show off the latest BRT designs and to take public feedback on the project. Seattle Department of Transportation officials are specifically looking for feedback on updated station and roadway designs, which will be unveiled at the first meeting:
- Wednesday, August 3rd, 5 – 7 PM
Seattle University, Campion Ballroom, 914 E Jefferson St
- Thursday, August 4th, 11 AM – 1 PM
Town Hall Seattle, Downstairs, 1119 8th Ave
- Tuesday, August 9th, 5 – 7 PM
Meredith Mathews East Madison YMCA, 1700 23rd Ave
- You can also submit comments online by emailing email@example.com.
"In 2015 we sought feedback on which blocks the stations should be at, and now we're narrowing it down to exact location within the identified blocks and how riders will access the stations," said SDOT spokesperson Emily Reardon. Continue reading
Bus Stop | What Capitol Hill bus service could look like in 2025 and beyond
With its big U-Link bus restructure in place, King County Metro has quietly begun laying the ground work to adapt to the next phase of expansion of Sound Transit's light rail system. Within days of Seattle getting its first look at how Seattle's light rail network will look in 2040 — with service to Ballard and West Seattle, in addition to Everett and Tacoma on the extremities of the system — Metro released a map showing its first attempt to serve our region in conjunction with that system. CHS dug into the Long Range Plan map to find how those changes would affect Capitol Hill.
As we have seen in the past, these plans can change dramatically, even more so with the timelines in decades instead of years. But the map provides an insight into how transit planners at Metro are attempting to serve Capitol Hill riders. Metro is breaking these changes into two conceptual phases: 2025 service and 2040 service.
The biggest change that will be in place by 2025 is Madison BRT. This project will consolidate service on Madison Street in dedicated lanes between downtown and Madison Valley, freeing up some service hours to be used elsewhere to complement.
As a result, Metro is eyeing moving route 2 off Seneca St. on First Hill and onto Pine Street in Capitol Hill.
This change, in turn, will pave the way for Metro to create a new crosstown workhorse between the Rainier Valley, Beacon Hill, and Capitol Hill from the current route 49. This route will serve 12th Ave, which perplexingly does not have any Metro service today despite being the eastern edge of one of Seattle's largest private universities. This will also be the most frequent transfer between Madison BRT and light rail service at Capitol Hill Station. Continue reading
City Council ready to move Madison bus rapid transit plan forward
Just in time for everybody to be just a little irrationally excited about a fixed-rail transit option opening in the area, the City Council's transportation committee Friday pushed forward the process to create a "bus rapid transit" corridor on Madison from downtown to the Central District.
Friday, the committee agreed to pass a resolution adopting the Seattle Department of Transportation's "locally preferred alternative" design for the route and clearing the way for the project to seek the necessary exogenous funding. If all goes to plan, the BRT plan with a few segments of honest to goodness dedicated bus lanes will be open by 2019.
CHS wrote here about the final adjustments to the design proposal. Instead of a BRT route running in a dedicated lane through the extent of the route, the plan has buses running in mixed-traffic east of 18th Ave with "signal priority" helping speed the trip to the MLK terminus. A dedicated center lane with island stops will run from 9th Ave to 13th Ave under the proposal. The rest of the route will run curbside with right-turning traffic until 18th Ave.
In the time it took the First Hill Streetcar to open, bus rapid transit has emerged as a popular alternative for cities looking for a cheaper, more flexible form of public transit. The Madison project has an estimated price tag around $120 million — not far from the First Hill Streetcar's $138 million cost. Whether the lighter investments can truly achieve the "rapid" part of the rapid transit equation will remain to be seen.
The full City Council is expected to vote on the proposal February 1st.
Bus Stop | Madison BRT details — Plus, the Metro restructure that wasn't
For those that couldn't make it to the downtown library for November 16th's SDOT open house on the latest Madison Bus Rapid Transit plan, we have the department's briefing on the project from last week's City Council meeting, below — plus some non-BRT news from the open house about a rollback on one of the most significant changes that had been planned for Metro routes to better align service around the opening of Capitol Hill Station and the U-Link light rail expansion in early 2016.
BRT presentation
SDOT officials presented details on the latest plans for Madison's overhauled bus route in a session with the City Council's transportation committee last week before the Thanksgiving holiday. The information presents an opportunity to see the plans shared at the public open house earlier in November.
Presenting the material, SDOT officials described the future Madison bus lane as part of a citywide "network of BRT" and said they were pleased to find "the biggest complaints" at the open house had been that planned "transit lanes don't extend far enough." "There'd be relatively limited benefits" but "significant capital costs" to extend the dedicated BRT lane all the way to MLK, one planner said. Continue reading
Planners: Prop 1-powered Madison 'bus rapid transit' plan no less 'rapid' with shortened dedicated lane
Move Seattle's election night victory assured a crucial chunk of funding for a new tram-like bus to run on E Madison, but the latest design proposal is not quite living up to what its name might suggest.
Instead of a "bus rapid transit" route running in a dedicated lane all the way up and down Madison, Seattle Department of Transportation's latest proposal has the bus running in mixed-traffic east of 18th Ave.
"Travel time analysis doesn't show that dedicated transit lanes are necessary east of 18th in order to (improve) transit time and reliability," Madison BRT advisor Maria Koengeter told CHS, adding that signal priority would help speed up the trip to its MLK terminus.
A dedicated center lane with island stops would only run from 9th Ave to 13th Ave in the current proposal, which includes First Hill and part of Capitol Hill. The rest of the route would run curbside with right-turning traffic until 18th Ave. Continue reading
Proposed $87 million Madison Bus Rapid Transit is like light rail — without the rail
After retreating from the edge of catastrophe, Seattle's public transit system may be en route to becoming a regional leader by combining the efficiency and prestige of light rail with the cost and flexibility of buses.
It's called Bus Rapid Transit (BRT): essentially, a bus system that works like light rail. The City Council has coughed up $1 million to study a proposed $87 million BRT "corridor" along Madison, running from the waterfront up to 23rd Ave (by Madison Temple church and that psychic boutique shop).
To explain the project and get feedback from locals, the Seattle Department of Transportation will hold a community workshop about the Madison BRT corridor on Thursday from 5-7pm at the Silver Cloud Hotel on Broadway. Using "interactive design stations" inside the meeting room, SDOT will "present community-developed design ideas that focus on key intersections or a potential station location within each area. Each station will be staffed with engineers, planners, and urban designers to allow for an interactive conversation and sketching of design ideas to capture community ideas and feedback."
Is this just a re-branded bus route?
Nope. Former mayor of Bogotá Enrique Peñalosa describes his city's BRT, TransMilenio, like this: Continue reading

Growth & Development in Toddlers
During the second year, infants show more and more independence as they learn to communicate their needs more effectively.
12 to 18 months. This is an exciting time for parents, as language begins to take shape. At 12 months, babbling will be interspersed with your baby's first words. By 18 months, he may be stringing several words together, though he won't be talking in true sentences. Your baby will know the names of a few body parts, like nose or eyes, and be able to point to them. He will also continue to assert himself by showing strong preferences, such as for specific foods or mealtimes.
Youngsters this age exhibit a healthy degree of guardedness, particularly in unfamiliar situations. A child may readily explore the pediatrician's office, for example, but cling to a parent when the examination begins. The parent becomes a secure base from which the child can explore.
Your child will move about and explore a room by grabbing onto furniture for support before taking his first steps. Many parents get needlessly upset if other children of the same age are already beginning to walk and their own child is not; as with all stages of development, there are normal variations. Highly active and fearless babies tend to walk earlierat 12 or 13 months. More timid children may be temporarily scared off by a fall, and others are content to sit and concentrate on toys for several months before taking their first steps.
Your child may be frustrated by early, unsuccessful efforts at walking, but once he has mastered those first few steps, his mood dramatically lifts. Most babies are truly delighted by their newly achieved freedom to explore. By 15 months, your child may even be climbing up and down stairs (usually backward).
All that activity helps to burn off "baby fat." Weight gain slows to about a pound every two months. Your child's appetite will also decrease, but as long as he is still alert, active, and growing, he is getting enough to eat.
18 to 24 months. By 18 months a child is walking well and may even begin to run. During the next 6 months, development is rapid, so that by her second birthday she may be able to walk up and down stairs. Fine motor skills also mature, allowing her to stack several blocks, dismantle toys, feed herself with a spoon, open doors, help undress, or drink from a cup with few spills. A favorite activity for many children this age is climbing. Keep an eye on your child to avoid accidents like falling out of a crib.
Many parents notice that their children become increasingly "clingy" at around 18 months. Toddlers this age may also be particularly fussy at bedtime and may throw tantrums when put to bed. A favorite blanket or stuffed animal often provides comfort.
An improvement in language ability may be the most prominent milestone of this period. A child of 18 months knows about 10 words. As a child approaches her second birthday, she knows 100 or more words and begins creating simple sentences of two or three words. She may also begin to relate immediate experiences and will understand more complex commands.
Pay close attention to your child's requests. If a child asks what something is, teach her the word. Speak in clear, simple sentences. Ask questions. Respond to even incomplete requests or gestures from your child. At this stage of development, language is becoming an important part of parent-child communication.
Health Issues For Babies Ages One to Two Years
Failure to thrive. A child under age two who weighs less than 80 percent of the average for children with the same birth weight may be diagnosed with failure to thrivea term that refers to abnormally slow development in infants and young children. Other signs of failure to thrive include being withdrawn, apathy, and slow development in speech and motor control.
Malnutrition is one cause of failure to thrive, and that in turn may be the result of poor parenting skills, depression or some other psychological problem affecting the mother, or a lack of time or money to adequately care for a child. Children who are on a nutritious diet can also be afflicted, in which case the cause is likely to be a congenital defect or an underlying disorder that interferes with eating and metabolizing food.
If an infant is failing to grow at any point, a doctor should be consulted to determine the cause. The doctor will take the baby's history, including patterns of weight loss and previous illnesses, and ask about the baby's feeding habits. If the cause is organic, the underlying medical problem will be treated. If psychological factors are identified, individual counseling and family therapy may be recommended. In addition, nutritional counseling may be necessary to make sure that the baby receives a proper diet. Often, social workers or nutritionists can provide low-income families with information on how to provide a well-balanced diet at below-average cost. Families can also obtain help from federal or state programs.

Why am I not changing my phone????
I am carrying a Nokia E72 and today marks its one year in custody with me.
There's a story we all know, "Crying Wolf"! It's when a shepherd always teases his village mates by crying wolf, wolf and they would all scurry only to find him laughing and telling them, he was just kidding! One day a wolf actually came, he shouted but no one came doubting it to be one of the sheperd's many hoax calls! In the end, the shepherd found himself comfortable in the stomach of the wolf!
Why am I reminding you all of this old story? That's because, it has been twice now. What? I have started a tweet series about my next phone purchase, my twitter buddies discussed each and every choice's pros and cons in detail with me..
I did not buy anything the first time. I am NOT buying anything the second time around too. Sorry guys, I know it would be difficult for you all to believe me when I would actually go ahead and buy a phone!! Ha ha!
But this article is just to emphasize my resolve of not buying a new phone in 2011. It's new year just around the corner, people are making plans for new itmes, new gadgets [more so my geek buddies in my twitter timeline ;-)].
Ok, so why am I not changing my phone right now?
Why should I?
(a) Small Screen
(b) Non Touch
(c) An *almost* legacy OS (S60 V3)
(d) Lack of applications
(e) Less RAM
Nokia E72 has served me well. I consider myself a *little* bit more aware than an average consumer and I am firmly entrenched in the field only. My usage are just a little bit more exhaustive, more detailed and require my phone to strech just a little bit more.
Nokia E72 falls sort on some of the required parameters required by me to extract just a little bit more. Less RAM is one of those hardware failures my phone possesses.
So, why wouldn't I?
Well, this phone supports me in multiple ways.
(a) The physical qwerty with those soft keys are just too awesome. You wouldn't believe, just how fast I am breezing through this article! (ok, part of this breezing has to be credited to my brain also, which has got the thoughts assimilated and clear!)
(b) I have heard a lot of E71's build quality being far superior than E72's. Well, to be honest, I have never spent enough time with an E71 to make a comparative judgement but I know for sure that my phone is built like a tank. Don't ask me, how and where its built quality has been tested in my house, but believe me when I say this, this phone has seen and endured A LOT!
(c) The battery is awesome and keeps me sane with a long life in all those train journeys that I undertake (part of my job) which probably, a phone from a particular OS platform may not even dream about!
Now, some non geek reasons for staying put:
(a) It lets me do three of the most important things in my work day! Calls, SMSes and Emails! Ok, I rely on a thrid party client for Email to render default HTMLs.
(b) Phones in India do not come operator subsidized. You get them, locked (in case of BBs or iPhones) or unlocked but always unsunsidized at a premium.
(c) The camera is not brilliant and ofcourse, not a camera flagship but an amazing cam for a business phone. I will go on to say, it has got the best camera in its segment.
(d) I work very hard to earn my money and it becomes imperative for me to give a thought to my phone buying purchase. An HTC Desire Z or a Nokia N8 or a Blackberry Bold 9780 will cost somewhere between INR 24,000 to INR 28,000.
Let me tell you, that's hell lot of a money! Lol!!!
I do not want to part with my money for a phone until my E72 pushes me to the wall and I am happy, that forget about being pushed to the wall, it is keeping me very comfortably in the centre with just a slight wobble here and there!
That money can buy a 2 day holiday for me and my family in a near by country or backwaters of Kerala!
At this stage of my life, with a wife and a daughter, a monthly income and future to look for, I would really need to define precisely, what's a genuine need and what's a superficial want.
Honestly though, I do waver sometimes, but I have twitter friends like Saurabh (@arbit on twitter) to pull me back, bring my sanity back!
I will surely buy a new smartphone but for the time being, my trusted and proven companion is E72!! I love you and I accept you with all your strenghts and weaknesses!
And to my twitter buddies, wait for the next *wolf* call!!! 🙂

A Rule of Life
What is a Rule of Life?
In the simplest of terms, a Rule of Life is an ordered way living. The idea developed in Christian monastic communities, the best-known of which is that of St Benedict, dating from the 6th century. Christian spirituality is a habit, and like any good habit, there must be form and order; a daily approach. The spiritual life is ordered around these three disciplines: Sunday worship, daily prayer, and private devotion.
What may seem restrictive is actually freedom, for within form we are truly free; free to move, to live, thriving within the familiar. Though bound to Christ, in Him there is perfect freedom. The habit of living an ordered life is rooted in Scripture and always points to Christ. He is the one who perfectly kept Sabbath. He is the one who prayed every morning and evening. He is the one who lived in perfect devotion to the Father. And His life is the one we imitate.

Life lately has been all about taking life day by day. There have been a lot of changes to daily life in the last week and "take it day by day" has been my mantra in getting through it all. Nothing overtly crazy or dramatic but since I have a habit of making everything overtly crazy and dramatic it's been kind of overwhelming for me. I'm dealing though! & they're all changes that will only lead to good things, so I'm staying as positive as possible.
Here's a photo dump of life lately...
Winter quarter started this week. LAST. WINTER. QUARTER. EVER. I know I keep saying I'm going to miss school when it's over, and I definitely will, but I won't miss commuting in our Chicago winters.
The course load has proved to be way more involved than I thought it was going to be, so the above picture accurately depicts how I have been feeling lately.
A few weeks ago I received the sweetest package from Donna who I had the pleasure of getting to know over the holidays during the Blogging Elite holiday meet up. I enjoyed getting to know her so much and looked forward to receiving her emails every week! She sent me the cutest "A" ornament, scrapbooking items for a beginner like me (!), peppermint tea, her favorite YA novel to add to my collection, and mini notebooks for blogging. I've been using everything she gave me especially in the last week with school starting {especially the tea since I think I'm getting sick… I'm having a cup right now!}. Thanks again, Donna! I love everything.
Earlier this week Sammy and I went to another Bulls game and had the best time. These tickets were a Christmas gift from my mom to Sammy and they definitely didn't disappoint.
We started off by having dinner at Ricobene's on the south side and we were pleasantly surprised!
I got a slice of spinach & mushroom deep dish and Sammy got their breaded steak sandwich with hot giardiniera and cheese.
I of course love the signage ;)
We sat front row which was an awesome experience. We even saw ourselves on the screen a few times haha. We got there when the doors opened so we got the giveaway which a jersey {Sammy also walked away with a few other freebies which is his favorite thing ever, so he was a happy guy}!
The Bulls won which is the first time I've seen them win at a game before, so that was long overdue and awesome. Bulls games are my favorite with this guy.
This week marked the start of working out at work! A few weeks ago I signed up for the membership, and got my pass, so I started going after work before I catch my train to go to class. I've actually liked adding it to my routine, so I hope it lasts!
On Friday, Sammy traded in his '99 Pontiac for a new Ford Fusion! He was so excited. He definitely needed a more reliable car for all the driving he's going to be doing on the weekends back and forth from the academy.
& I mourned via snapchat about losing my BFF. It's so silly to admit but I actually got emotional when we left this baby behind. We've had so many memories with this car {he drove us to prom in it!} that it felt sad letting it go, but the new car will give us new and exciting adventures.
Later that night we went out with Sammy's family to Brava! to celebrate him starting the academy! I got campanelle in a spicy tomato cream sauce with shrimp and it was prettayyy good.
On Saturday, Sammy and I spent the day at his grandparents' house with his brother, SIL, cousins, and aunt. We all learned to "make the sausage" as they say even though we don't actually make the sausage as much as we section it off and hang it.
Sammy's grandparents have this crazy awesome pantry in their basement where his grandpa has nailed in so many hooks for the sausage {and other meats} to hang from. They also store all their homemade sauce, pasta, and other things down there.
They also hung sobrassada {which is like a hardened salami but way, way better} and capicola. All the meat has to hang to dry for about three weeks and then the family distributes it among the individual families.
While Sammy's grandpa watched over the sausage business his grandma was in the kitchen making pizza for lunch. This was also where Christina and I keep sneaking cheese ;)
In her element!
I asked if she would teach me how to make her pizza because it was so good I can't stand not knowing how to make it myself.
All of us girls & nonno!
I love that Sammy's grandpa has taught him how to do this because even though I doubt eat it I still had a lot of fun having Sammy teach me and I know he'll love teaching his children one day. I fully plan to have a pantry like this in our future home!
|I snapped this the night Sammy told me he got accepted into the academy last month :)
I spent a lot of this week soaking up as much of Sammy as I could. I'm so glad he'll be home every weekend but I've missed him a lot so far since we aren't able to talk while he's in training during the week {I've already written him a letter though! Don't you worry. I'm playing this thing like it's 1942}. I'm in awe of him all the time and everything he puts himself through to get where he wants to be in his career. Can't wait to squeeze him on Friday!

A while ago I thought I would write a blog post about my favourite childhood books. But as I came to think about it, I remembered more and more, too many to fit into one blog post. So a whole series of blog posts seems more appropriate. Various happenings (mostly assignments) have conspired to keep me from writing any of them. But today, since fate seems to be conspiring to keep me from my uni work, it seems appropriate to talk about comfort books.
When I was in Year 12 at school we had to study speeches, and one of the speeches happened to be by Margaret Attwood talking about writing and feminism. In it she describes how her young daughter and friend put on a play, in which all they did was eat breakfast, which was pretty dull because narrative needs to be 'more than breakfast'. Well when I was younger I was quite happy to read about 'breakfast'. I remember once complaining to my mum about all the horrible things happening to characters in a book I was reading, to which my mum replied something along the lines of 'well, without that there wouldn't be a story'. I've thought about this, and true though it may be I'm pretty sure I enjoyed a lot of fairly tension-free books in my childhood. Here are a few:
Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder. There is tension in the 'Little House' series, difficult journeys, struggles with the land, illness, disappointment and so on. But not so much in this first book. Something about Little House in the Big Woods is just so cosy- the purpose of the book is to evoke a bygone time as much as to tell a story. Excitements and conflicts are generally small- Laura gets into trouble for being disobedient, or wants different coloured ribbons. Some of my favourite memories of this book include the dance, where the family get together in their best dresses, and the children make naple-syrup candy in the snow. I loved this book for its comfort, I liked to imagine living in a log house in the woods with a rag doll to play with.
Margaret Mahy's books of short stories, including The Door in the Air and Mahy Magic. They are not all tension free, but they are about evoking a different world. I think I read a lot for escapism, and these stories are fantastic for that. Some of my favourites include the story about the man who made fantastical bridges, the Green Fair and the story of the magical merry-go-round. I have never understood why 'escapism' is considered such a dirty word- why can't we take a holiday from reality once in a while?
The Fairy Caravan by Beatrix Potter. This book begins with a guinea-pig running away from home and joining a travelling caravan of animals. Full of fairy-tales, talking animals, cosiness and strangeness. There is a journey, and problems to overcome, but I enjoyed this book for the caravan and sense of magic. I've always been fond of caravans.
Maybe most shameful of these is the large book of Flower Fairies that I had, and loved, and read and memorised parts of. I also read a whole lot of Enid Blyton. Although I only read them when I was older, I think the Swallows and Amazons books fit nicely into this category of comforting childhood books where nothing much happens.
Descriptive books, comfort books, books about breakfast, they are still some of my childhood favourites and ever more will remain so. Next up- forgotten books.

One of the reasons I think I reread a lot of fiction is because I actively enjoy the plain escapism to another world; I love being immersed in a narrative where I'm not ultimately worried about the fate of the characters because I already know what happens, so its possible to sit back and enjoy the story without being compelled by the tension of the plot so to speak.ReplyDelete
Yes- and I don't mind if a story is predictable if I can immerse myself in it and enjoy it on that level.ReplyDelete
On the other hand- I do love a good plot. :)

A new contract with Trans Canada that took effect late last month reduced the cost of electricity for municipal buildings to 9.8 cents per kilowatt hour, a 5 percent decrease from the previous 10.3 cents, Mayor James L. Richetelli Jr. said.
Since 2007, when the city stopped buying electricity from the United Illuminating Co.
and joined a bulk purchase program organized by the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities the rate has steadily gone down, officials said. CCM seeks periodic bids from generating companies to get the best prices.
By the time the current contract ends in 2014, Milford will have saved $870,000 compared to what it would have paid to UI, Richetelli said.
CCM spokesman Kevin Maloney said that more than 120 municipalities and school districts have joined the bulk-buying program and they saved a combined $4.5 million last year.
But Milford continues to have a low recycling rate compared to other communities, and a new SMART/PAYT Committee is examining ways to increase participation and collection.
The six-member ad hoc advisory panel, which includes state Rep. Barbara Lambert, D-Milford; Diane Vasseur, the recycling chairwoman of the Environmental Concerns Coalition, and city sanitation foreman Dan Hooks, recently held its first meeting.
The acronym stands for "Save Money And Reduce Trash/Pay As You Throw," and will recommend ways to reduce the waste stream, including removing more items for recycling.
Genevieve Salvatore, the Democratic mayoral candidate, proposed a "Triple R" plan for increasing recycling, including setting up an "exchange" in a central location where Milford residents could arrange to pick up items that someone else might otherwise discard.
Salvatore also called for a "single-source" program in which residents would no longer have to sort items before putting them at the curb.
Information at the state Department of Environmental Protection Web site said that single-stream programs increase participation because of the convenience, but sometimes reduce the quality of the items collected.
Salvatore said that she would also like to see the city recycle more items, including cereal boxes and other grades of plastic.
"Many communities in Connecticut recycle boxboard and there is no reason that Milford can't as well," she said.
Richetelli said that while increasing recycling is a worthwhile goal, "we also have to consider the costs of doing it."

REGINA — A Poverty Reduction Strategy will be developed for Saskatchewan according to the Oct. 22 throne speech delivered by Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield.
"We are very pleased," said Regina Anti-Poverty Ministry's Peter Gilmer. "It's something we and others have been advocating for many years."
The announcement comes just days after the Oct. 17 International Day for the Eradication of Poverty in which several anti-poverty groups held news conferences, demonstrations and the Regina archdiocese Social Justice Conference Light a Spark, Set a Fire held Oct. 20, in Moose Jaw focused on social justice and poverty (see related article).
The throne speech offered no details but it expressly thanked Poverty Costs and three individuals — Dr. Ryan Meili, Dr. Cory Neudorf and Alison Robertson — for their work on what the speech called "this important issue."
Meili is the founder of Upstream, which bills itself as a non-partisan research organization focusing on healthy living, social concerns and poverty. Meili is a Saskatoon medical doctor with a practice in Saskatoon's Riversdale area, one of the city's poorest districts. Earlier this year Upstream published a study that claimed poverty and all its effects cost the Saskatchewan economy $3.1 billion a year. More details are expected to be released later during the fall legislative session.
While Gilmer was pleased and thanked both the government and Poverty Costs for its work, he said he would wait to see what the strategy would contain. "We've for decades advocated for certain elements to be contained in an anti-poverty strategy and we will wait to see if they are part of the process."
The throne speech focuses on the economy and steps the government will take to maintain what it calls its strong foundation and promises an eighth balanced budget.
Mental health services will be reviewed by the Commissioner for Mental Health and a 10-year Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan is to be released in the coming months. The comprehensive review of the child welfare legislation will continue with the objective to strengthen The Child and Family Services Act and the Adoption Act.
Pharmacists will get an expanded role in the medical field with amendments to The Pharmacy Act; an options paper on the future of private liquor stores will be released and feedback sought from the public, and while the speech contains no reference to private MRIs, Premier Brad Wall said the day before the speech was delivered there likely will be discussion of that concept at some point in this session.
Throne speeches generally give a broad outline of the government's intentions with details in legislation later in the session. The budget, where the rubber hits the road, is expected sometime in late March or early April 2015.

Same 'Godspell,' more modern
ST. LOUIS — The latest national production of "Godspell" gives the classic musical a modern feel.
"It's very hip, current, has a sense of clowning to it and freedom," director David Hogan said.
"Godspell" the musical, with the music of Stephen Schwartz, is about the basic teachings of Jesus Christ, based on the gospel according to Matthew and some from Luke; yet the production opening tonight at The Peabody Opera House in Downtown St. Louis is set in the present.
He described the latest production as full of color and very current.
The music is the same Schwartz, but with updated rock 'n' roll arrangements, inspired by the latest Broadway production. Schwartz scored a Top-10 hit with the musical's "Day by Day" in 1972; later he added "Pippin" and "Wicked" to his list of hit musicals.
"Even though we do the passion of Christ at the end of the show, it's about Jesus' parables, as a loving human being, and how he taught people to love each other, and to lead human kind through love," he said. "It's about love, the force of love."
The cast is made up primarily of young actors in their 20s who add to the freshness of the national touring production of "Godspell."
"It comes together in a way as sketch comedy, I call it," he said. "You sit in the audience get lost by their energy and lost by their talent. I know people say, 'My church did it,' but it's worth the investment of time to see it professionally done by crafted singers and actors. Anyone who sees it will just be charmed by it."
"Godspell" runs through Sunday.
Tickets can be purchased at the Ford Box Office at Scottrade Center, all Ticketmaster Ticket Centers, by phone at (800) 745-3000, or at www.ticketmaster.com.

An introduction to the geography of Norway for beginners.
Norway is known throughout the world as a naturally beautiful country with a strong economy and proud history. Yet many people, especially from outside Europe, don't know its exact location or other interesting facts about the country's geography.
Norway is a Scandinavian country in northern Europe. It has many great mountains and fjords, and shares land borders with Sweden, Finland and Russia.
Geography of Norway
When you look at a map of Europe, Norway is easy to spot. It makes up the western half of the Scandinavian peninsular, and is located west of Sweden, north of Germany and Denmark, and north-east of the United Kingdom.
The country is perhaps best known for its fjords. During the last Ice Age, Norway was covered by a thick sheet of ice. When it melted, the movement of the ice created the islands, lakes, rivers, mountains and fjords that characterise the Norwegian landmass of today.
Norway is one of the world's northernmost countries, and one of Europe's most mountainous countries. Approximately 32% of the mainland is located above the tree line. The Hardangervidda and Jotunheimen mountains are some of Europe's most famous.
Where is Scandinavia?
Norway and Sweden share the Scandinavian peninsular, while Denmark is part of continental Europe, north of Germany. Together the three countries make up Scandinavia. Finland is sometimes included in the definition, even though it is technically a Nordic country.
The region known as Scandinavia makes up most of northern Europe, and is characterized by common North Germanic heritage and culture, and a set of languages that are, to a large extent, mutually intelligible. The languages are so similar that some linguists argue that Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are really just strong variants of a standard Scandinavian language.
Where is Svalbard?
The Arctic archipelago of Svalbard contains some of the world's most remote communities. The land mass is vast, ranging from 74° to 81° north latitude, and from 10° to 35° east longitude. They are immediately north of the Norwegian mainland, with the capital Longyearbyen approximately 1,000km north of Tromsø, the biggest city in Arctic Norway. Learn more about living on Svalbard.

According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, there is now widespread flu activity throughout Illinois. That is not unusual for this time of year, although the increase in activity may be here a little later than is typical.
The City of Chicago is also reporting a increase in cases with more people now being hospitalized with flu.
Employees at some hospital will receive mandatory flu shots.
Rush University Medical Center is hoping to control possible spread by screening anyone coming in to visit patients. They're basically questioned about how they are feeling and if they are exhibiting symptoms. If so, visitors may be asked to go home or to wear a mask.
Patients coming in with flu symptoms will be asked to wear a mask.
"It gets visitors to think about 'Well, should I really should I be visiting, I have a sniffle' because we really don't want them to visit if they're sick and put the person they're visiting at risk," said Mary Alice Lavin, Rush University Medical Center.
Rush tried the screening for the first time last year when the H1N1 virus was at its peak. Health officials do not know how much of a difference it makes, but they say it certainly heightens awareness.
This week the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention elevated Illinois and Indiana on its watch list. The states now join 30 others with widespread flu activity.
"I've had a cold for the last week and a half and I can't get rid of it," said Kendall Jesser.
Jesser's been fighting coughing, sneezing and itchy eyes. On Monday, she finally sought help at a clinic inside a CVS Pharmacy. Nurse practitioners at the drugstore are also reporting an uptick in flu cases.
The season runs through March. Health experts say for those who aren't sick, it's not too late to innoculate.
"It takes about two weeks after you have the vaccine to build up in your system to actually protect you from the flu," said Erin Buckley, CVS nurse practitioner.
Unfortunately for Kendall Jesser, the diagnosis is a bad cold -- one the flu shot she received a few months ago can't prevent.
Influenza symptoms include: fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, headaches, bodyaches and chills.

Similar Questions
Is it legal to send prescription drugs from the UK to the US if the customs form is filled out stating which drugs are enclosed?Answer: It would probably be legal to send them (i.e. you would not be guilty of smuggling), however, they would not be considered legitimately obtained in the US and so possessing them without a legitimate US prescription would not be legal.
- Answer: See your physician. We do not give medical advice.
- Answer: No but it would effect your health not making you live as long
If you are arrested for drugs and you have to pay taxes on those drugs can you claim the amount on your tax return?Answer: The answer is:HELL NO I DO IT ALLLLLL THE TIME o to make it better have sex while doing thm ;D
- Answer: This depends on the type of media, whether it is advertising, news, entertainment, etc. Advertising will only cause an increase in the use of socially acceptable drugs. News on the other hand typically shows the negative side of all types of drugs, assuming they have a non-biased viewpoint. Entertainment can have varying effects, based on what the target age group and kind of show it may be. Alltogether though, media does not tend to cause any type of increase or decrease in the use of drugs, but if you need to be specific, it does show a slight increase.

- Answer: Alprazolam - Xanax
Hydrocodone - Vicodin
Oxycodone - Percocet
Diazepam - Valium
Drug names are easily found by either using a search engine with the brand name as the keyword, or using Wikipedia.
- Answer: For things ive learned, recently in school, the chemicals will stay as long as they do in the mother, but the baby can be effected more dramatically and chances are, that the baby will be born with disorders/birth defects and that the drug might last a bit longer in certain occastions.
- Answer:
yes generic prescription drugs are equal to brand. Brand is patented by a company first.Their patent is good from 10-15 years. Once the patent runs out other companies make the same drug with same ingredients. It is copied and made cheaper. They are the same ingredients and do the same job.
Although active ingredients are the same in both brand and generic, the binders or fillers as well as the dyes may differ. This is why some people may have a sensitivity to one and not the other.
It is also important to note that the amount of drug which makes it into the bloodstream (bioavailability) can vary significantly for generic drugs; the bioavailability of generics is required to be within 20% of the branded drug, meaning it can be 20% lower to 20% higher. This can make a significant difference for drugs which are very dose-dependent. Also the amount of active ingredient in the generic only needs to be within 7% of the branded drug. All in all the generic might end up quite a bit less or more potent than the branded drug.
I understand that some companies who patent brand will also later make the generic available as well. Brands and generic will have the same active ingredients however the binding ingredients may differ.
It is good to keep in mind that although the ingredients and stated potencies may be the same for both brand and generic meds, other characteristics may cause them to differ in the body. The best example involves sustained-release products. Because different manufacturers may use different technologies to delay the absorption of the med, the actual levels in the body may vary from one company to another. Some medications with a narrow margin of safety may also have slightly different actions in the body. For this reason, some states have enacted "negative formularies" where certain drug clases cannot be interchanged. These include sustained-release products, hormonal meds, thyroid meds, and inhalers.
Nearly all generic drugs are considered equivalent or equal to their brand name equivalent, meaning they achieve the same blood levels of the active ingredient(s) in your body and therefore the same therapeutic effect.
Older doctors and patients may not believe this, as 50 years ago there were no stringent tests or regulations in place to guarantee the equivalence and safety of brand and generic drugs.
The word "generic" simply means "no longer covered by patent", meaning that any company may make the drug as long as it passes the same stringent manufacturing tests and FDA equivalence tests. Generic drugs are NOT "weaker" copycats of the original.
Approximately 50% or more of generic drugs are manufactured by "brand name" drug companies in the same types of facilities as the original brand name product. Many brand name drug companies own or operate their own "generic" drug companies, in order to maximize profits.
Beware of any drug imported into the USA, as other countries do not necessarily have the same manufacturing standards, and fake drugs do exist and have been purchased unknowingly over the Internet. Brand and generic names may differ in other countries, so do your research carefully.
Most pharmacists laugh (inside) at customers who insist on spending more money on expensive brand name drugs. However, there are probably rare customers (less than 2%) who may get slightly different effects from the products of different manufacturers, due to the presence of inactive ingredients (binders, dyes, fillers, etc.) and how their digestive system works.
It is also wise to stick with a single manufacturer (either the original manufacturer or a single generic manufacturer) for certain "narrow therapeutic index" drugs, where even slight variances in blood levels may be critically important. These drugs include Coumadin (warfarin), Lanoxin (digoxin), and others. If you constantly switch brands or generics while taking such drugs, it is wise to have a doctor check your blood levels periodically, as FDA testing (even for brand name) allow for a small percentage variation in achieved blood levels (approximately 5 to 10%) of a drug.
- Answer: In terms of the number of different drugs that are available, there are vastly more legal drugs than illegal drugs. I would also say that legal drugs are used more frequently and by more people than illegal drugs are.

This generous property had previously been a private residence, converted to a hospital and recently been returned to a private residence. Working directly for wonderful clients gave our design team the opportunity to light the landscape and entertainment space with creativity.
The landscape is segmented into different zones, each one lit to suit both the use and features. The front of the house is very traditional and the landscape symmetrically designed. The rear however is very modern and we complemented this with an energy efficient and modern design.
Gardens at Night were consulted very early in the design process and it afforded the opportunity to ensure the switching was convenient and enabled multiple circuits to be incorporated, often overlooked.Back

The Bauhaus Group
Six Masters of Modernism
Nicholas Fox Weber
March 29, 2011
544 pages, 6 1/4 x 9 1/4
25 color + 87 b/w illus.
Out of Print
Nicholas Fox Weber, for thirty-four years head of the Albers Foundation, spent many years with Anni and Josef Albers, the only husband-and-wife artistic pair at the Bauhaus (she was a textile artist; he was a professor and an artist, in glass, metal, wood, and photography). The Alberses told him their own stories and described life at the Bauhaus with their fellow artists and teachers, Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as well as with these figures' lesser-known wives and girlfriends.
In this extraordinary group biography, Weber brilliantly brings to life the pioneering art school in Germany's Weimar and Dessau in the 1920s and early 1930s, and captures the spirit and flair with which these Bauhaus geniuses lived, as well as their consuming goal of making art and architecture.
"Humming with gossip and throbbing with reports of who bedded whom, this book should be serialised in a tabloid."—Frank Whitford, World of Interiors

Tameka Butt has continued her sparkling start to a second campaign at Norwegian club Klepp IL, finding the back of the net for the second consecutive match.
After opening her season tally in a 2-1 win last Sunday (AEST), the Westfield W-League centurion showed again why she's one of the world's finest midfielders, finding the back of the net in the shadows of half-time to draw her side level.
Two goals either side of half-time for Kolbotn would see Butt's side fall on the wrong side of a 3-1 scoreline but hold on to third place in Norway's Toppserien.
In Norway's south, Westfield W-League Goalkeeper of the Year Mackenzie Arnold made a fifth straight start between the posts for Arna-Bjørnar.
Arnold was the only international on the park for the Norwegian outfit for the first 77 minutes as an Emilie Nautnes double had her side in control for the majority of the match.
Two late goals denied the 24-year-old her first clean sheet of the campaign with the clash finishing at 2-2, leaving Arna-Bjørnar in fifth.
Both Roar Women now look ahead to mid-week Norwegian Women's Cup matches against second-tier opposition.
Arnold's side head north-west to face Kaupanger while Butt's Klepp IL travel to the far south for a date with Amazon Grimstad FK.
Heading across the Atlantic Ocean and two sides featuring Roar Women went head-to-head in Portland.
Hayley Raso remains on the sidelines recovering from a knee injury, but her Thorns got the job done with a 2-0 win against Katrina Gorry's Utah Royals.
Gorry played a fourth consecutive 90 minutes for the NWSL's newest franchise but was unable to steer her side over the line against the defending champions. Roar Championships winner Celeste Boureille was also an unused substitute for the Thorns.
The Thorns host table-toppers North Carolina Courage on Thursday (Australian time) while Gorry's Royals take on bottom-placed Sky Blue FC on Sunday.
Our Roar Women are back in action preparing for Westfield W-League season 11 with a mid-week clash on Wednesday night at Cornubia Park. Our ladies have kicked off their mid-week winter campaign with three straight victories and will be looking to extend that run against Logan City. Kick-off at 7:20pm, come watch your defending Premiers in action!
Our Brisbane Roar NTC side flew to Canberra yesterday for the 2018 Girls NTC Challenge. The annual event is an opportunity for young players to impress and earn call-ups to both U17 & U20 national team camps.

14.09.2016 - Jay McInerney
Jay McInerney, the enfant terrible of American literature started his writing career in 1984 with the Manhattan novel Bright Lights, Big City, which was a bestseller right away. McInerney (1955) was one of the first authors who wrote about subjects such as cocaine use and hedonism and started a trend of so-called Yuppie Fiction and MTV Novels, written by mostly young authors, like Bret Easton Ellis and Michael Chabon.
McInerney, in the meanwhile, has written eight novels and is still considered a literary force to be reckoned with. With his latest book, Bright, Precious Days, he is writing his third novel about the New York couple the Calloways – a novel in which McInerney dissects the moral complexities of relationships, while painting a portrait of New York as Obama and Clinton battle for leadership and the collapse of Lehman Brothers looms.
The Dutch translation of Bright, Precious Days (Prachtige, dierbare dagen) is being published by publishing house Hollands Diep. The book was translated from English by Joris Vermeulen and Nico Groen.

However my affection for Duron is well-known. He and his Dad have bent over backwards for me and therefore, I'm in their corner until the end.
2 - But don't think for a second that Duron won't be a Saskatchewan Roughrider in 2018. I only bring that up because several have asked.
3 - The addition of DE Charleston Hughes makes the Riders defensive front a force to be reckoned with, but I'm not yet ready to say it's the tops in the CFL. Some wonder about Hughes' pricetag, and how the Riders can fit these stars under the salary cap? I say it's February, and the roster will look a lot different by training camp.
4 - Do you think when John Hufnagel dealt Hughes to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday, that he thought the 34-year old would end up in Saskatchewan by day's end? Friday was an insane day in the Canadian Football League, and fans are still raving about the buffet of CFL news even when it's -34 with the windchill.
5 - The inaugural Sober Bowl Canada was a raging success at Tony Romas's and I'd like to thank all who played a part, including sponsor Saputo. The Sober Bowl at the Minneapolis Super Bowl was gigantic and featured live entertainment and an awards ceremony. It's got me thinking I'd like to bring this event to Grey Cup, beginning with Edmonton in 2018.
Meanwhile it's sad and disturbing to see how substances (drugs & alcohol) are killing the soul of good, smart and talented people. It's so easy to see from the other side.
6 - Super Bowl 52 was "off-the-hook", as they say. Nick Foles pulled off the unthinkable and gave the great city of Philadelphia its first-ever Super Bowl title with a 41-33 win over the Patriots! All the Brady-haters got what they wanted but New England isn't going away any time soon. Bill Belichick told the media he wants to coach the Pats as long as owner Robert Kraft will have him. But they'll be seething today because it might've been their worst game of the year.
7 - The best Super Bowl commercial? I was busy hosting a party so I didn't see them all but the one that caught my eye was Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. ballroom dancing! Ironically, the add was for the NFL. Kudos to the CRTC for lightening up and allowing Canadians to see the American TV ad.
8 - Rider great and Winnipeg Defensive Coordinator Richie Hall has written a book entitled Smoke and Mirrors and it's being launched this week. Watch for details on book signings near you! Plus we'll be giving away copies on the SportsCage and Richie will be coming on the air with us as well.
9 - Commissioner Randy Ambrosie is coming through town this Saturday as part of his cross-Canada tour of townhall meetings in CFL markets. The Roughriders made 300 spots in AGT Lounge available to Rewards Program members (season ticket holders) by reservations, and they were snapped up in hours. I'm grateful to be the moderator of the event and if you're weren't lucky enough to get in, we'll have tons o' coverage of this great event.
10 - We've got miles to go on this Regina Pats season but after calling Saturday's 5-4 OT win over PA on Access, here's my analysis: If this all blows up, it won't be on John Paddock. He's assembled a team capable of making some noise in the playoffs and, indeed, winning the Memorial Cup in the short tournament. But they can't seem to keep their eye on the ball for 60 minutes! That's all John needs to figure out between now and late-March, or mid-May. He's done it before.
Y'er welcome,
