LYNDON- Walking by him on the street, Jason Birch may look like an ordinary person. But if you heard his story, you wouldn't believe the transformation he's gone through.
Three years ago, Birch was in Burlington, on the streets, in what he described as one of the worst times of his life.
"My fiancee and I are recovering alcoholics and addicts," said Birch. "We came up to this area to get away from people, places, and things, and HOPE was one of the places on this list that we received for resources."
Birch found hope in the HOPE store in Lyndon, which supplied him with every day essentials while he was trying to stand up on his own two feet.
"When we first got here, we were homeless. We we're living our car, so we used the food, clothing, we didn't have very much clothing." said Birch.
"Part of our mission is to help people fill their basic needs," said Dan Haycook, General Manager of HOPE. "We know that when you're not stressing about where you're getting your next meal, or where you're getting your winter jacket, or how you're going to stay warm through the night. Whether it's finding permanent housing, being able to make sure your kids are doing the best they can in school to be the best they can be. Filling the basic needs reduces some of that stress, and allows them people to really take steps forward into thriving in life."
Birch is now 10 months sober, living in his own apartment, giving back to the organization that once helped him and changing a stigma that, according Haycook, can come when some people take advantage of human service agencies.
"That's just not what we experience here," said Haycook. "A lot of times we have folks that come in for help and folks that come in for services,and they end up giving back when they get stable and they get on their feet. They're feeling better about things. (Birch) is a prime example of that. He came in and he needed help. And a few months later, he's here three days a week helping us fill food bags, fill shelves, helping us do what we need to do to help other people."
"If this place wasn't available for me, I'm not sure how easily it would have been to get out of the situation that I was in. And just knowing that there were people out there that cared. And it was the support system when we didn't really have much support." added Birch.
And now, Birch has become part of the support system that helped him turn his life around.

Fast & Furious -- Film Review
As with the entire series, the stories serve as an excuse to downshift quickly to chases, but the new film does allow time for the characters to interact and develop so audience concerns extend beyond who'll win the next race. Boxoffice should be strong, especially among young males -- and their dates may not mind checking out the body work on a buff male cast.
The story by Chris Morgan relies heavily enough on relationships established in the original film that you may want to look at the DVD before taking in the new film. If not, you'll catch up soon enough. In that film's wild finish, Walker's undercover cop Brian O'Conner, a racer himself suffering from divided loyalties, allowed Diesel's outlaw racer Dominic Toretto to slip across the Mexican border to escape authorities even as he let down Dom's sister, Mia (Jordana Brewster), who had fallen for Brian.
"Fast & Furious" starts off with an action sequence worthy of James Bond's signature openings. Dom and his old L.A. girlfriend Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) lead a gang of road warriors trying to hijack oil tanks hauled by a big rig on a Dominican Republic highway. As the crews race alongside the truck, the women board them like pirates and uncouple these huge tanks one by one. Only this hijacking goes serious awry and ends in a crash and a fireball on a mountain road that the heroes escape only by the miracle of top-notch second unit work, CGI effects and tight editing.
The rest of the story takes place back in Southern California, where Dom returns seeking vengeance when Letty is murdered, having gotten caught up with a vicious drug cartel. Naturally, Brian is also on the case so the two rivals find themselves reluctantly working together while Brian and Mia discover the romantic sparks are still there.
Anything is an excuse for a chase. Just to infiltrate the drug gang as drivers, Dom and Brian must participate in a no-rules illegal street race in and around Echo Park, Silver Lake and downtown Los Angeles that destroys half the streets. Just to get a name from an informant, Brian chases the snitch across roof tops, blows through a glass window and crashes two stories on to a car roof. Whatever happened to messages being left in phone booths?
The two major car stunts involve a tunnel underneath the U.S./Mexican border that adds a juicy claustrophobic element to the death-defying maneuvers and crashes. Justin Lin, the returning director from "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift," performs a neat balancing act throughout, balancing nonsensical story points with serious dramatic moments and making story and character flow smoothly into hyper action.
All four films feature terrific stunts. But "Fast & Furious" is the first film since the original to be smart about how far to stretch logic without sacrificing the desired macho swagger and revved-up emotions.

Buy Zombie posted an excellent review of Rotter World this afternoon. I cited some excerpts below:
Permuted Press has been known to crank out quality zombie fiction, with
classics such as 'Day by Day Armageddon', 'Domain of the Dead', 'Eden',
'Empire', 'Dying to Live', 'Plague of the Dead', 'Down the Road',
'Ex-Heroes', 'The Infection' and 'Kings of the Dead'. With those heavy
hitting zombie classics niched in Permuted Press' belt, it must be
pretty intimidating for the next generation of Permuted Press authors to
pass along the torch, to maintain the Press' reputation as one of the
best publishers of zombie fiction. Rotter World keeps up the pace and
delivers a great story that is reminiscent of some of the zombie
classics, bringing out some original concepts and a different spin on
the genre.
This book has a great plot and the vampire element gives it an
original spin on the zombie story. There is a lot of action, blood and
gore and also, great conflicts. Maybe one or two of the conflicts seemed
a little contrived, but overall, they were some pretty good action
scenes. Also, not very zombie novels can give me an 'Oh Crap!' moment,
this is mainly due to the fact that I've read a whack-load of zombie
fiction and have read a lot of pretty twisted stuff. But, Rotter World,
near the end of the book, gave me a good 'Oh Crap!' moment and the
author gets bonus points for that.
Overall: Rotter World stands out as one hell of a zombie novel and
with a little time, it will catch on and become a popular read among
fans. I think somewhere down the road, people might regard Rotter World
as a Permuted Press classic and I would probably be one of the people
testifying to that. This story has a great plot, good characters, strong
re-read value and an excellent, unique slant on the genre.

Sunday Bunnies
Today is a very special edition of the Sunday Bunnies -- ten years ago today I adopted Ruby, my first rabbit. She was just a scared little kit barely six months old, and she spent all night in my bathtub thumping in fear. The next day I went out, bought her a cage, and set her up in my living room. The rest is history. She's now the grand diva of the household and reigns supreme over the other three rabbits who share my home.
So happy tenth anniversary to my Ruby. Hopefully she'll be here for the eleventh.

Miss USA Eyeing Sports Analyst Job
Miss USA Kandace Krueger, in town this week to help cover the Tournament of Roses parade for CBS, may be back next time with a different play-by-play job in mind: Rose Bowl football analyst.
Thanks to her father, Krueger wants to become a sports commentator when she graduates from Texas A&M this spring with a degree in journalism.
"My dad was a big influence when I was a kid, and you can't grow up in Texas and not be a football fan," she told the Long Beach Press Telegram.
Krueger, a native of Austin, Texas, is already getting firsthand experience, with brief stints on ESPN's "Two Minute Drill" and as a guest commentator on "FOX Under the Helmet."
"I'll be working as a sportscaster for a major sports network and thinking about starting a family," she said of her plans for 10 years from now.

Convincing employees to work hard and work well is a millennia-old management challenge. Hundreds of studies point to proven motivational tactics, such as goal setting, feedback, and incentives, but all of these tactics can (and will) backfire.
"Chances are that you (at least sometimes) are using the wrong tools under the wrong circumstances," writes Juliana Schroeder, a behavioral economist and psychologist.
Using feedback effectively
- Use positive feedback to enhance personal commitment. For example, if you're ramping up the arduous data collection process that goes along with a complex, detailed life-cycle assessment, that's when you want to use encouraging words. We can do this!
- Use negative feedback when you're nearing the finish line. So data collection starts off well with everyone ready to get going and get the project done, but you get into a lull midway as the engineers and logistics folks are tired of taking your calls, that's when you might want to roll out some stern warnings about being a team player and calling your supervisor.
Goal Setting
"Typically, a shorter distance between you and your goal is more motivating than a longer one," writes Schroeder. "It feels within reach, and it's easier to feel that you're making progress. This means people should set closer targets or sub-goals."
Using the same example from above, don't kick off your LCA talking about the mountains of data we shall climb, instead map out with a consultant who has experience with LCA reporting a reasonable set of milestones for data collection inside of various processes identified. And when you see a big knot to untangle, break it into smaller pieces and set goals based on achieving the sub-goals.
"Focusing on the least amount of distance—either from the start or from the end of your project— is more motivating," said Schroeder.
This means, don't look up when you're at the bottom, and don't look down when you're at the top.
Focus on the middle stages
"Research has found that people are more likely to slack off or behave unethically around the middle of a project," said Schroeder.
Take this into consideration when project planning. If your team can quickly identify what the onerous parts of the job will be, and take on those early wince folks will still be motivated to perform well. In the middle, focus on the low-hanging fruit, like collecting the utility or transportation data or info you can get from third party vendors. If big obstacles pop up in the middle, try and work around them and save them to the end to tap into the motivation folks feel right as a project is wrapping up.
If your company has the structure to provide incentives, don't hesitate to use them. But don't go overboard.
"People will work harder for incentives they can get sooner—even if they are smaller than those they would get after waiting longer. The lesson here is simple: To motivate people, use immediate incentives," said Schroeder.
If a team has a goal, structure small incentives for the manager or team member that help validate the hard work put in. Consider an extra day off for completing the work on time or a group luncheon after every major milestone.
"People also seem to value intrinsic incentives more when they are in the middle of pursuing a goal than when they have not yet started," said Schroeder.
When working on sustainability projects, help frame the work in terms of the intrinsic benefits to the team members, to the company, and to company strategy focused on reducing environmental impact. Ideally this will already be a part of the company's strategic plan, but capitalize on the feeling that employees have when they can take pride in working on a project that goes beyond the bottom line.
Selecting motivational tools can be complicated, especially keeping them fresh and appealing to meet the changing needs of employees. But, if you haven't yet taken a strategic look at motivation, now is a great time to start.
Need to launch a life-cycle assessment or carbon footprint in 2016? We can guide you through the process and help keep your team motivated along the way.

It's the wee hours of the morning and we are still driving and towing and driving and towing and driving. The decision to cross into Russia in the middle of the night was made by someone and we trucked on. To this day no one is really sure why we insist on always entering Russia at 4 am.
We arrive at the border crossing at 1:30am. By 2:30am we're finally all through the customs check in Mongolia, but not without some hassle from locals and officials. Now we have to convince Russia that they really do want to let us in while towing a completely dead car whose engine is suspended in it's lifeless frame with zip ties and ratchet straps.
One by one we check into the tiny office where the Russian officials confirm that we are in fact allowed into Russia...again. Because we've all quite recently visited their country if you recall! And then suddenly...we have left Mongolia and we're in the Russian countryside once more.
We are all quite sad about leaving Mongolia to be honest. Despite the chaos and stress we loved that country with all our hearts. Additional note: it's 4 am and FREEZING COLD. It's September in Siberia.
This is where you would think we would drive a ways into Russia and set up camp to get some sleep. You would be wrong. Although, again, no one can answer why this decision was made or who made it, but we decide to just push on through the dawn to the finish line in Ulan-Ude. In retrospect this was slightly foolish because there were a few people nodding off behind the wheel. That morning is a mental fog because of our exhaustion, but the moment we realized we were entering Ulan-Ude is crystal clear!
WHAT? HOW COULD THIS BE?! How can we be at the finish line?? The stress leading us there had felt so endless that the arrival felt almost anti-climatic! And OF COURSE we couldn't just all drive up to the finish line together. NOPE! That would not be in keeping with our convoy's track record! We got split up RIGHT BEFORE the finish line in the city!! So while we waited for our stragglers to catch up, we had a DANCE PARTY!!
We all finally roll up to the finish line banner at the hotel and spill out of our cars (both dead and alive vehicles) and the celebration begins! Champagne is popping! Music is blaring! Ralliers who have been luxuriating at the finish line hotel come out to greet us! We are relieved, exhausted, and so grateful to be at a place where food and warm beds can be an option! The celebratory photo shoots begin, and Megan is beyond frustrated because by this time we've all had MUCH champagne and it's like herding kittens. Thank you, Megan.
All these photos are by Megan (Blackstone Photography) and not all of us remember taking all of them, but they are glorious and truly capture the joy of our arrival. Thank you Team Keystone, Team So Good It Yurts, and Team 101 Damn-Nations.
The arrival party that night was awesome! Beer, good food, our team, and so many others were enjoyed that night! And just because the restaurant closed doesn't mean we were done! We headed out to a bar for late night partying because WE JUST SUCCESSFULLY DROVE THE MONGOL RALLY!!!
Wrap Up:
Here are the major stops we made in Mongolia. Please note the conspicuous lack of roads.
Team #WeLive Fun Facts:
23 countries
9,875 miles
0 flat tires
115 packages of instant noodles
4 melons
11 hangovers
57 days of collective team menstruation (approximately)
3 broken hearts
6 minor injuries
There's so much to say - starting with how strange it is to conclude something that has taken the majority of our attentions for the past 18 months. There's so much to say, but no words with which to say it. We all feel immense gratitude to everyone who helped get us to and through this endeavor. We are all grateful for the obvious provision and protection given to us along every step of the way. We are thankful for safety.
Thank you for going on this adventure with us. We felt your support, love, and prayers through every mile.
Much love, Team #WeLive
Almost done…

Tonight, Team USA will play its first game of the 2013 World Baseball Classic. It is exciting, as the United States has long been considered to be the premier baseball country of the world. This should not come as too much of a surprise, people come from all over the world in hopes of making it in Major League Baseball. Japan, Taiwan, Curacao, Venezuela, and too many other countries to name all have a player or two in Major League baseball. That being said, Team USA will battle some tough and proven opponents. What is exciting about the 2013 WBC and Team USA is that they have a helping hand from the Washington Nationals.
In years past, it would be difficult to see a lot of players from the Nationals make it onto the WBC's team USA roster. In 2013, the Nationals have representatives Gio Gonzalez and Ross Detwiler. The two Nationals representatives join an all-star cast of characters, including David Wright, Giancarlo Stanton, Ryan Braun, and many, many other highly talented players. Having both Gio and Detwiler on the USA roster says a lot about their talents and abilities and how good the Nationals pitching staff is. A simple look at the roster will tell you that the players Joe Torre picked were the best of the best. To have some of D.C.'s own hand-picked to represent the greatest country in the world is a compliment to the players as well as to what the organization has done to put together not only an excellent pitching staff, but an excellent roster overall.
There is some debate, though over having pitchers in the WBC. Pitchers get hurt, it is a fact of baseball and one the Nationals are rather familiar with. Both Detwiler and Gio are coming off some of their best seasons as starting pitchers. 2012 was the first full year that Detwiler was both fully healthy and performed as well as he did. There were a lot of injuries that have hampered his career to this point, but that is not necessarily indicative of what we can expect of him in the future. Should there always be an eye out for Detwiler's health? Of course, as with any pitcher. Take into account, though that the WBC has rules in place to protect pitchers, such as pitch limits. Given that in the first round of the WBC pitchers are limited to 60 pitches, a guy like Detwiler is essentially going from spring training camp to a more competitive version of spring training. As the WBC goes on, the pitch limits will expand, much like they do in spring training. Such rules will help to reduce fatigue and lessen negative impacts on pitchers. Think of it this way, if a Detwiler or Gio get hurt in the WBC, who is to say they wouldn't have been hurt in spring training? Anything could happen, but having them with Team USA is a big plus for both the WBC and Team USA.
There is also the pride of being able to represent your home country that should be taken into account. If a guy on any team gets the call from a manager in the WBC, what would be the reason to say no? Of all the players in the world, only a select few get to compete at the Major League level. Of that group, an even smaller number get to compete while wearing the team USA jersey on a stage in front of the entire world. Any competitor would want that opportunity; it is an incredible honor to Gio and Detwiler to have the chance to prove themselves to the world.
Team USA has an outstanding roster with great talent, and that should make watching them in the WBC a lot of fun. With Gio and Detwiler lending a helping hand to an already stacked team, it figures to be a fun competition where Team USA could go quite far. So sit back and enjoy, Nationals fans. It will be some good competitive baseball.

Overall Product Rankings
An Overview On Pressure Cookers
Ask previous generations about pressure cookers and they'll likely bring up safety concerns. But pressure cookers have come a long way from their mid-1900s popularity. The newer models of pressure cookers have built-in safety features that keep you protected from the over-pressurization that once put home chefs at risk.
In recent years, all-in-one units like the Instant Pot, have made pressure cooking popular again. However, you don't have to buy a bulky countertop unit to enjoy the benefits of pressure cooking. Stovetop pressure cookers are fairly straightforward, with only a few steps to get you going. Instead of trying to figure out which button does what, you simply insert your items, then cover and seal before you start steaming.
But there are more than a few models to consider while shopping for a pressure cooker. Although all models are safe, each has its own safety mechanisms. The Fissler Vitaquick's indicator light may be your preference, or you might prefer the six built-in safety features of the Culina One-Touch.
In addition to safety, ease of use is important when you're considering which stovetop pressure cookers to buy. You'll need to seal and choose a pressure setting, but once that's done, you'll turn the stove burner on and let your pressure cooker do the rest. The Fissler Vitaquick has a simple design that requires just turning a knob, but All American's pressure cookers have an easy on/off cover as well. As you choose a pressure cooker, also consider the weight and durability, especially if you have a more sensitive ceramic or glass cooktop.
Lastly, you may want to consider cleanup as you're choosing a pressure cooker. If you're used to tossing your pots and pans in the dishwasher, you may want to steer toward one of the dishwasher-safe models. Even the models that have a finish that makes for easy handwashing may not provide the convenience you want.
DYWM Fun Fact
Pressure cookers have long been associated with canning fruits and vegetables. But the same appliance can be used to make all types of foods, from fish to yogurt. Studies have shown that pressure cooking helps food retain more nutrients than other types of cooking, making it a great option for health-conscious families. Myths have circulated over the years that pressure cooking dilutes foods' nutrients, but those myths have been debunked. Some studies, though, have found that nutrients in certain foods may be transferred to the liquid in the cooker with the food. If this is a concern, it might be worthwhile to make sure you utilize the liquid when you're serving what you've cooked.
The Pressure Cooker Buying Guide
- Safety mechanisms are built into every modern pressure cooker, but you may like some better than others. The locking mechanism on the Fissler Vitaquick cooker includes a mechanism light that goes from red to green once it's locked. That takes all the guesswork out of using one of these devices. All American uses a metal-to-metal seal on its units to make sure no steam can escape. Lastly, the Culina One-Touch has six built-in safety features, including a cover that will not open unless pressure has been fully released.
- Pressure cookers come in a variety of sizes, so it's important for you to know what you'll be doing. If you simply want to try canning a few items, for instance, the smaller-capacity pressure cookers, like the Culina One-Touch or Fissler Vitaquick, will do. However, unless you have a large family, the 21.5-quart All American cooker may have far more room than you'll ever need. The All American 10.5 quart will hold seven standard mouth regular pint jars or four standard regular mouth quart jars.
- Ease of use is also an important factor when you're choosing a stovetop pressure cooker. Fissler Vitaquick's pressure settings are extremely easy to read, and it also has a lid that slides onto the pot more easily than others.
- The size of larger units like the All American 21.5-quart pressure cooker can bring a couple of issues. First, its size means it doesn't fit snugly on just one burner, making it difficult to place. You'll also find its heaviness may make it a bad fit for a ceramic or glass range. Lastly, the size signifies it will also take longer than average to heat up and cool down.
- If affordability is an issue, there's a clear difference in one of the models. The Culina One-Touch sells for under $50, while all of the other units fall in the $200-$300 range.
- Cleanup is an understandable concern with any appliance. If you're used to tossing your pots and pans in the dishwasher, you may want a unit that provides that level of no-fuss cleaning. Both the Fissler Vitaquick and the Culina One-Touch are dishwasher safe. The All American units advertise that they're easy to clean, thanks to the satin finish.

Thank you, everyone who donated to our Mutt Mosey campaign! We raised $400. The event raised more than $35,000 total--enough for Young at Heart to save 35 senior pets.
Special thanks to Pam for walking with us and hanging out with us at the event. We had a lot of fun! Duncan did surprisingly well. He wasn't intimidated by the other dogs (except for the German shepherd puppy who mistook him for a rabbit.) And we didn't finish last!
Here's Duncan before, during, and after the Mosey:

DescriptionVerdi's masterpiece Simon Boccanegra - often undervalued - tells the story of a man whose fate is determined by love and politics. Starting off as a buccaneer he ascends to the Doge of Geneva, shaken by fate, intrigues and class struggles. His wife dies, he looses his child - to retrieve it only shortly before his death in peace. With this opera, Verdi presents on of his most mature, touching and yet uncommon oeuvres: To be enjoyed at Wiener Staatsoper in Peter Stein's gracefully built staging.
The corsair Simon Boccanegra has been elected Doge of Genoa thanks to the assistance of Paolo Albiani. He hopes that in this position the patrician Jacopo Fiesco will no longer be able to refuse him the hand of his daughter Maria, Simons sweetheart and the mother of his daughter. When Maria dies, Jacopo swears to take revenge on Simon unless the latter hands over his granddaughter to him. However, after being put in the care of a nurse, the young girl has disappeared.
The fate of Simons daughter is explained 25 years later. We learn that she has grown up in the Grimaldi household as the foundling Amelia, and has now fallen in love with the patrician Gabriele Adorno. Simon seeks her hand in marriage for Paolo, who in the meantime has become the Doges chancellor. However, when father and daughter recognize one another, Simon abandons this plan. Paolo is enraged, and arranges for Amelia to be abducted, a plot which is foiled by Gabriele. Whilst the senate is in session, he rushes into the council chamber intending to accuse Simon of instigating the abduction. However, Amelia throws herself between them. Simon suspects that Paolo was behind the abduction, and orders him to curse the wrongdoer. Paolo takes revenge by putting poison in Simons goblet. Gabriele is also determined to take the Doges life, since Paolo has led him to believe that the latter is Amelias lover. Once again, Amelia intervenes, and reveals to Gabriele that she is in fact Simons daughter. When the patricians approach determined to overthrow the Doge, Gabriele sides with Simon. The uprising is put down, and Paolo condemned to death. However, his poison is already starting to take effect. As he dies, Simon is reconciled with Jacopo when the latter learns that Amelia is his granddaughter.

[originally published October 12, 2015]
Well here we are. Day two of the epic adventure I'm calling Awesome Blog. Not a great title, but hey, I'm just getting started.
Let's see. Today I got up, took an epic bath, as I am wont to do on my days off, and read Dune, one of my favorite books. Once I finished, I sort of languidly lounged until the water got too cold and my cellphone alarm went off in the next room.
After that I did some other stuff. Who am I kidding? My life is pretty dull. However, I did get up and do some outside work with my dad moving summer furniture under the deck and then we went out to lunch at this fancy-ass place in downtown Gig Harbor.
Hoo boy. I don't make enough money to even pretend I belong in a place like that. Ten tables, a wall of wine, a wraparound outdoor seating area with a vast view of the Sound, the harbor, a lighthouse, and a bunch of mammoth richy-rich homes across the narrow sea.
The dude at the counter was nice. Walked us to our table, gave us our water, brought our menus, and blah blah blah. Behind me was a super foxy redhead and a kindly older lady talking about this and that. At this point you probably know I got problems with pretty ladies, and today was no exception. The music was real quiet, so of course I couldn't help but eavesdrop.
Two minutes in I realized this woman was not for me. Of course, I never could have afforded her anyway. Plus I was in a hoody and dirty sneakers, my daily uniform, which couldn't be helping my game. Not to mention my shaggy blond locks, which have needed a cut for months.
Here is the central problem with love addiction. When we're in the depths of our disease, we don't care what makes our attractions seem ridiculous. Even though this woman was clearly too young for me, out of my league, raised rich (which um, no thank you), and on top of all that, I'm looking like I stepped out of a college dorm room in the 1990s, I still thought I might have a shot.
Here's the really dumb part: even if I had had a chance at snagging this chick, what would I have gained? Some uptight fancy girl who'd think I'm charming for about five minutes, and then run screaming to the nearest yacht club once she realizes I'm an insane, foulmouthed, working-class musician with a history of failed relationships? Seriously. Dumb. But that's the headspace I've been occupying for the last twenty-six years.
See, when you fall in love at age thirteen to a girl you never even try to talk to because you're ashamed of your own shadow, you're not really building up the necessary skills to be successful at dating. And then when your wife leaves you for your sports buddy at age thirty-five, and the only women who will date you are either a) in their twenties, b) as crazy as you are, or c) completely diabolical and only after what little money you have left, you're not exactly in a stable position for long term domestic tranquility.
Maybe if I hadn't been abused at age twelve; maybe if my wife hadn't snared me and controlled me and isolated me for thirteen years; maybe if I hadn't stumbled from one dysfunctional relationship to the next in a vain attempt to find a surrogate for the kind of love and support I didn't receive in childhood, maybe then I might have had a chance to woo this fancy girl and get the kind of woman who could help me get my shit together and possibly get my business up and running and finally make something of my life. But then what? I'm stuck with a woman who I like more for her looks than her soul and I end up being just as lonely as I am now, only with more money.
Fuck that. I got a life to live, a career to build, and a desire to find the right woman for me who can show affection, laugh at my dumb jokes, and give me the business in a light-hearted way, the way I've always wanted someone to treat me but had none of the confidence or calmness to receive. Part of me hopes that The Love Of My Life will work on improving the way she handles problems and deals with anxiety, and comes out of her shell enough to show me a little affection when I really really need it, but the simple fact is she's probably never coming back and I'm just gonna have to accept it.
Improving myself may mean that I never find a woman who fits everything I'm looking for. Hell, maybe I'll find out I don't even like women that much and spend the rest of my life going to movies alone and reading my favorite book for the twenty-seventh time. But I hope like hell that I can get her, because goddammit, I've loved her all my life.

- Great ski-in/ski-out location, about 100 feet from the slopes
- Spacious year-round outdoor Jacuzzi
- Units include fully equipped kitchens
- A bathroom for every bedroom
- Free Wi-Fi
- Free use of the Stonebridge's amenities including outdoor pool and newly remodeled fitness center
- Lacking in amenities
- No on-site parking
- Some units are a little outdated
Bottom Line
Like its sister property, Tamarack Townhouses, the Terracehouse Condos features two-bedroom units with Silver or Gold standards to indicate how recently it has been updated. The building is strictly condos, with no common areas, fitness center, or spa, and guests must check in at the nearby Stonebridge Inn (guests also have free access to the amenities here). There is a nice two-tier Jacuzzi with waterfall feature on-site, however, and the ski-in/ski-out location along the Fanny Hill ski area makes hitting the slopes a breeze.

Terracehouse Condominiums
Traditional condos with no common areas
Navigating the Terracehouse Condos is somewhat easy, seeing as there are just a handful of buildings laid out parallel to the Fanny Hill ski run. Exteriors of the condos are pretty standard for mountain lodging, with high-peaked roofs and covered staircases. Built along the ski slope, the Terracehouse is multi-level with a winding walkway leading to the top-most building. In the summer, the grounds are well-kept and lush. Year-round, the secluded patio area and a Jacuzzi with waterfall feature are popular spots for unwinding post slopes.
In Snowmass Village, right below the Village Mall
Snowmass Village is a small town about nine miles outside Aspen. Snowmass has its own ski area with the most vertical feet of skiing in America; a large seasonal shopping mall, the Village Mall, with coffee shops, restaurants and bars; and a shuttle system that runs back and forth to Aspen every 30 minutes until late night. The Terracehouse Condos is one of the closest lodgings to the Village Mall, within only a three-minute walk.
- 10-minute drive to Aspen Airport
- 4-hour drive to Denver International Airport
- 3-minute walk to the Village Mall with restaurants, bars, and entertainment
- 5-minute walk to the closest ski lift in Snowmass
- 3-minute drive to the Village Market
- 18-minute drive to Aspen
- 35-minute drive to Maroon Bells Scenic Wilderness Area
Two-bedroom units with fully equipped kitchens and gas fireplaces
All the units at the Terracehouse are similar in layout with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living area, a dining room, and about 800 total square feet. Units include gas fireplaces, and there is a humidifier for every bedroom. Most of the condos include a pull-out sleeper sofa or two sets of twin bunk beds in the second bedroom, so they can sleep six people.
Not all the units at the Terracehouse are of the same caliber, and Destination Resorts (the parent company) uses a rating system to define the unit categories. Each of the units is placed into either Silver or Gold categories, with the Gold units being the more recently upgraded of the two. Silver units tend to have more dated furniture, older appliances in the kitchens, and tile or laminate (instead of granite) counter tops. Gold units have more modern, updated decor with new, matching appliances in the kitchen, and remodeled bathrooms.
- Free Wi-Fi
- Fully equipped kitchens
- Gas fireplaces
- A bathroom for every bedroom in the unit
- Flat-screen TVs
A great outdoor Jacuzzi with waterfall feature, and use of the Stonebridge Inn's amenities
As far as amenities are concerned, the Terracehouse Condos are a little bare-boned compared to other hotels in the Snowmass area, but overall they supply the necessary features needed for a comfortable mountain stay. The outdoor Jacuzzi, which fits 20 or more people, has been updated with a beautiful waterfall feature, and is arguably one of the best Jacuzzis in the area. There's no on-site restaurant or fitness center (or, really, anything else on-site), but because the property is owned by Destination Resorts, guests are welcome to use nearby Stonebridge Inn's facilities for free. This includes the large outdoor pool and newly remodeled fitness center. Also, guests can drop off their ski and snowboard gear at the Stonebridge Inn front desk for a quick overnight tune-up.

text: Fooling Western Coyotes D.H. Willis - December 19, 2016 One might think coyotes would be doomed. It's a species that has had traps laid and poison scattered for it, and even right now has well-armed ranchers ready to pull a rifle from a pickup gun rack and dispatch it on sight. But this icon of the American West has escaped the fate of destruction that is wished on it to this very day.Instead, it thrives. The yapping of coyote packs echoes mockingly off the buttes and sage and even the big city suburbs every night. Coyotes are now pretty much everywhere. They adapt. They use cunning. They are in the end unconquerable. And that is why they are one of the supreme species to hunt. This is a contest of hunter and hunted in the highest degree. It's not known how many coyotes there are, or even if their populations are headed up or down. That's because many state game agencies don't monitor them. It's partly political. Coyotes still aren't liked much by ranchers. They are, however, enjoyed by predator callers.In Nevada, for instance, coyotes aren't protected in any way. No hunting license is required to go after them. If you see one, it's fair game, if it is even considered that. "Varmint" is a more apt description for some. Coyote numbers are probably headed upward, advised Nevada Department of Wildlife furbearer biologist Russell Woolstenhulme."This is anecdotal because we don't do any surveys, but in the last 30 years with fewer and fewer people living in a rural type of setting, they have less reason to shoot coyotes," noted Woolstenhulme. "Coyote numbers have increased. I see coyotes on a nearly daily basis, and I live in Reno." Wyoming also has a similar legal relationship with coyotes. There are no restrictions, no limits, no seasons and no license is required to hunt coyotes. You do need a hunter safety card, however, if a rifle is used.The Wyoming coyotes thrive."The regulations are super liberal in Western states," said Patrick Burke, Wyoming Game and Fish Department wildlife biologist at Green River. "Coyotes can sustain pretty heavy annual mortality. Some estimates have been as high as 70 percent annual mortality without too much impact on their populations."December is a prime time for coyote hunting. The animals are hungry, and their fur is thick."I would expect this will be a pretty good year around here," noted Burke. "Last year there was a cottontail rabbit boom, and jackrabbits too. With voles, deer mice, bushy-tailed wood rats (pack rats), they increased in abundance. I expect it to be a good year for coyotes."Find where that prey is located, and there will be coyotes, said Burke."Lots of guys will call up and ask where they will find coyotes," he advised. "Places with rabbits are places that have coyotes. That is a important food source for them."Studying these coyote habits is part of the hunt for Patrick Carney, president of the Idaho Trappers Association and longtime coyote hunter. He spends a lot of time each winter going after coyotes. And he also gets a close look at how they live and survive in the West."They are eating anything they can get their lips around," said Carney. "I have seen them when it is real real cold with 6 or 8 inches of snow on the ground and there is nothing out there moving. You will find the coyotes around the cows, and you will see where they are eating the cow poop. Every pile of frozen cow poop is chewed on."This adaptability has been key to coyotes thriving where other species falter."Earlier in fall they eat berries, mice, rabbits," said Carney. "They probably eat more mice and kangaroo rats and voles and that kind of stuff than anything. Then rabbits are next, and birds and cows that have died. They will get in a cornfield and eat corn. If you have a garden that is a little farther out, they will eat watermelon," he noted."The last things on Earth will be coyotes and cockroaches, and the coyotes will be eating the cockroaches."The best coyote hunting time unfolds when the weather turns so harsh that the more timid are sitting by a warm fireplace listening to the snow pelt the pane glass window. Hunters across the Western states are pursuing coyotes for a challenging winter hunting experience. "The colder the weather and the more miserable as far as cold and snow, the quicker the coyotes will come to you," noted Carney. "The hungrier and the more they are hunting, the better. When it is cold and miserable and groceries are hard to come by it is hard for them to sit there and let a meal go by, if they think it is a meal."Coyote calling is such a sporting hunt it is attracting more hunters. But coyotes do become educated, and quickly. They learn to shy away from mediocre callers because they suspect it is fake."There are a lot of people who call now," said Carney.They try matching wits with a wild, smart coyote."What I try to do is find just a little bit of a knoll with some broken country," advised Carney.Then he sneaks in and gets along the side of the higher ground. But he's careful not to be silhouetted."A lot of times they will lay in that broken country during the day. I like to get off the top and come partway down, and then I like to get where I can watch the country coming in to me. I lay down and call from there. I lay down on my belly with my rifle out front in front of me."He prefers a .22-250 caliber with 52-grain hollow point. He takes coyotes out to 500 yards with it."You are out here on the desert," he said. "A lot of times you will get a coyote to come in and it will stand out there sideways and look at you. They may not peg you, but they are trying to figure out what is going on. Maybe they have been called before. If they are just standing out there, it is nice to be able to reach out and tap them on the shoulder."Carney also keeps a shotgun within reach. Sometimes a coyote will sneak in undetected. Then Carney picks up the scattergun with No. 2 shot."If I get a coyote 20 yards away, he is not leaving," he said.It's very important to be careful and quiet. Much of the American West is desert or dry sage landscape where if a person sits on the side of a rise or on top of a butte, a car can be heard miles away. That's how well sound travels in the dry Western air. And a coyote can hear sound far better than humans. Talking, car doors shutting, radios, all of that tips off the ultimate survivor of the wild before the calling even begins."Bear in mind that coyotes have heard more people out there calling," said Carney. "They have heard a lot of different calls. Most people mess up by calling or playing an electric call too loud."You want the wind in your face. You want to set up downwind so they are coming in to you. He will try to come in and be downwind if he can. Blend in with the country, don't skyline, and be quiet. And don't blow your call or play your electronic call way up. You will blast them out of the country. Start off quietly and ease your volume up. Raise your volume a bit at a time."Call for 10 or 15 minutes and then move on.For Western hunters who seek a challenge this winter, coyote hunting offers an opportunity to test your skills while pursuing one of the region's most cunning survivors.

I have two female JRTs. One is 6 years old the other has just turned 1. The little one has just had her first season about 3 weeks ago and over the passed week has started to become very agressive towards my other JRT when she walks passed her. They are fine together when they are out and they sleep together in a crate. Also we went away in our caravan at the weekend and they got along great. But since we have been home it has started again not all the time just a couple of times a day the little one will go for her. Any ideas or help would be much appreciated

Ryan Murphy continues his streak of shows that are a hit with pop culture as well as attracting some of Hollywood's greatest talent. Feud: Bette and Joan follows the "kind of true" story of the legendary rivalry between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. The show takes many artistic licenses of people and places for the sake of the story, but for the most part, I think he captured the spirit of these women. During my last trip to LA, I hit up a few of the locations for the show. These are not in any particular episode order as the show revisits some of these spots multiple times. I also drastically lightened up many of the night screenshots for better visual reference.
First up is a visit to Bette Davis' home in California, one of my favorite finds. With no street number or house number, it seemed like a formidable task, but I immediately recognize the house's tudor style architecture and located it at 2720 Monte Mar Terrace. (This is NOT the Donnie Darko house that is being incorrectly touted on other sites.)
My instinct told me Joan Crawford's house was in the Holmby Hills area as it look suspiciously like the home in Postcards From The Edge. Although my instinct was correct, it was my friend Ian who spotted it at 333 South Beverly Glen Boulevard. I didn't make it in time for my first trip, so some Google streetview shots for now.
The show was filmed at a few different studios but many of the studio exteriors were at Fox. Not open to the public, I have included some pictures from their site and thestudiotour.com for reference.
The exteriors of the studios where What Ever Happened To Baby Jane was not shot at the actual Producers Studios, which is still standing, but instead at the Lacy Street Studios at 2630 Lacy Street in Los Angeles. I have visited this location a few times and was fortunate enough to get a tour as well. The shots below are not exactly screen specific as I am using photos from previous visits.
In addition to being the studio for the entire series run for Cagney & Lacy, this is best known to horror fans as the youth shelter in A Nightmare on Elm Street 6: Freddy's Dead.
This spot with the rusty door is quite famous for horror fans. On the other side of this door is the location for the bathroom in the original Saw.
A few locations were identified by a great location site, onset-hollywood.com, including the house for Bob Aldrich, located at 356 Rimpau Boulevard, less than a block away from a location in the original What Ever Happened To Baby Jane, but more on that later!
Also not far from that location is the house for Hedda Hopper, located at 554 South Plymouth Boulevard. Obviously not wanting to trespass, I've included some pictures from the gate, although most of the shots are in the reverse direction.
Another favorite find was the underground gay theater frequented by Victor Buono. As with Bette's house, not too many clues to this location, but I was able to figure it out by recognizing the next location for the police department. This is located at the Culver City Library at 4130 Overland Avenue. This spot is actually in the alley next to the building.
I recognized the police department location immediately as I had been to the spot before as the Fresno Police Department for Zodiac. Located at the library at 4130 Overland Avenue in Culver City, it is adjacent to another favorite location spot, the "Crave Inn" from A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 4: The Dream Master.
A quick stop to the Ebell at 741 South Lucerne Boulevard for the scene where Joan has one of her first tantrums. I did not revisit this location, but am using photos from a prior time, so they are not screen specific.
The beach scene was shot at the same location as the original Baby Jane movie, Point Dume beach. I did not travel to this location specifically for this movie, so not everything is screen-matching but more for reference.
Next up is the test screening location for What Ever Happened To Baby Jane at the Warner Grand Theatre, located at 478 West 6th Street in San Pedro. The manager was gracious enough to let me shoot throughout the entire theatre. You can learn more about the theatre and how to support them by visiting www.grandvision.org. The theatre has been on my hit list for a while as Herb Ritts photographed some of Madonna's most iconic pictures for the Blond Ambition tour there. Here is our first exterior view of the theatre…
The projection booth is nearly the same, but they obviously took out all of the modern equipment.
Joan and Mamacita arrive at the screening!
The interior of the theatre was very dark and difficult to take good pictures, hence the lack of quality here.
The lobby of the theatre is spectacular. Here is where Joan descends the stairs and is recognized by fans.
The concession stand is also mostly the same, just switching out some period-appropriate machines for the modern ones.
One of the show's best moments was watching Joan finally getting the fan recognition she craved so much.
The exterior of the theatre shows up again highlighting the lines around the block for the film.
Switching to another theatre, the Palace Theatre at 630 South Broadway makes two appearances. It shows up in the first episode as the theatre where Joan visits to watch Bette. Later in episode 5, it shows up again but dramatically enhanced and expanded as a New York theatre.
Next up is the location for the 35th Academy Awards. Kudos to the Feud team for actually going to the same location where those Oscars were held at 1855 Main Street in Santa Monica. Not much has changed since the actual shoot nor the original awards ceremony.
In one of the newsreels for the Oscars, they visit Lee Remick's home. The location used was at 301 S Beverly Glen Boulevard, just a couple houses down from Joan's house. Like that spot, I haven't been there yet, so a quick Google shot as a placeholder for now.
Bette's agent is located at LA Center Studios at 450 South Bixel Street. Like the Ebell, I did not revisit this location and it is not open to the public, but I included some of my previous photos for reference.
Joan visits her brother at the King Edward Hotel located at 121 East 5th Street. I did not venture into this location yet and not sure if I want to either! I included one shot of the exterior that I took as well as some photos from the internet of the lobby or reference.
The plantation house location for the filming of Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte was also spotted by my friend Ian at 1006 N Crescent Drive. I've not to been to this location yet, so just included some shots from when the property was for rental.
Joan next visits her brother at the hospital, another location I had visited for as it was the "CURE Hospital" for Scream Queens Season 2. I am betting they likely just used the same footage from that Ryan Murphy show here. It is located at 2632 East Washington Boulevard in Pasadena.
TROG! Jane flies to "New York" to film Trog. Unsurprisingly they are not on the east coast but downtown LA at an immediately recognizable building at 635 Mateo Street. This building has been used for too many productions to count, but most people know it as Ojai Foods from Brothers & Sisters, the orphanage from Child's Play 2, and the police station in every other tv show.
Bette visits her institutionalized daughter at our next location. Fans will immediately recognize this as Culver Studios located at 9336 Washington Boulevard in Culver City.
The final shot in the series flashes back to Bette and Joan's first day on the set together. Based on the background, this was obviously shot at Warner Bros. in Burbank. What's puzzling is that their exact spot they are sitting doesn't appear to be studio, but rather an alley between buildings.
There were a few promos for the show that aired in the weeks prior to the first episode. Here is the drive where Joan is driving through Hollywood. She is driving on north on the 500 block of South Windsor Boulevard and turns the corner at West 5th Street.
Last (and least) is the studio gate from the promo, located at 900 North Gower Street, the entrance to the Beth Olam Cemetery, part of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.
I've been fortunate enough to meet a couple cast members of the years including Jackie Hoffman (Mamacita), Ken Lerner (Marrty) and John Waters (William Castle).

Imagine a pain so intense that nothing can relieve it. It isnt a physical pain, it is an emotional anguish which takes over your being. You lose sight of everything good in the world and in yourself. You cant reach out to those you love because you are so lost in the pain. There doesnt seem to be a way out. You just want the pain to stop. You will do anything if only the pain will cease.
This is the kind of pain which leads a young person to consider suicide.
There are many different reasons why they might be feeling this sort of pain, but there is one thing all suicides have in common. A person who attempts suicide is trying to end the pain, and they see death as their only choice. It is important as a society that we help these young people see that they have other choices. There is a path through the pain.
But many young people arent finding the path. Currently in Canada, suicide is the number two cause of death among young people aged 15-24. And it is the leading cause of death among First Nations and gay or bisexual youth. Most youth (63 per cent) will seriously consider suicide before graduating from secondary school. One quarter will devise a suicide plan and one in seven will make a suicide attempt.
Kerry Dennehy of Whistler knows all about the pain of suicide. His son, Kelty, took his life last spring. Kelty was a bright, well-loved, successful boy, but he also suffered from depression. And it was this struggle with depression and the emotional anguish it caused which ultimately led Kelty to take his life.
Dennehy says everything happened very quickly. "We knew he was depressed, but he spiralled down in such a short time. He had only been diagnosed with depression two months before his death."
Since Keltys death, his parents have started a non-profit foundation to help educate people about the problem of youth suicide and, in particular, the impact of depression ( www.thekeltyfoundation.org ) and they are working closely with Whistler Secondary School to educate students about this issue.
"Its as if there is a taboo around the subject of suicide," says Dennehy, "but we wanted to talk about it. And we want to warn people about the insidious nature of depression."
Dennehy also admits, with a great deal of sadness, that if he had known more about suicide and depression, things might have turned out differently.
Many people who commit suicide have a history of mental or emotional problems. It is estimated that 90 per cent of adolescent suicide victims are suffering from at least one diagnosable brain-based disorder, including depression and substance abuse. Dr. Steven Holliday, the director of Mental Health Services for the Sea to Sky Corridor, says he prefers the term "brain-based disorders" because there is such a stigma around the term "mental illness."

This park is the nation's longest rails-to-trails project! Designed for hikers and bikers, the park has lots of accessible trail options. There is also enough variety to keep you busy, with impressive Missouri River bluffs and frequent trailheads.
Glacier National Park
Known as the "Crown of the Continent", Glacier National Park is the headwaters for streams that flow to the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and to Hudson's Bay. While remote, the views are absolutely spectacular.
Check out the Running Eagle Falls Nature Trail or the Swiftcurrent Nature Trail. Both are about 0.25 mile long and feature a stabilized soil that is packed down for smooth rolling. A portion of the Trail of the Cedars is accessible to those with all-terrain chairs.
Lolo National Forest
There are many trails to explore at Lolo! The Maclay Flat Nature trail has an accessible loop of 1-2 miles which is mostly gravelled. There are interpretive signs and a chance of spotting wildelife.

Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest
There are 1,000 miles of designated trails here with a variety of challenges and opportunities. The first mile of the the three-mile Trout Creek Canyon Trail is wheelchair accessible and offers spectacular viewing opportunities of magnificent limestone formations. You can pick up an interpretive brochure at the trailhead and refer to it as you reach each of the ten numbered benchmarks along this first mile.
Oglala National Grasslands
Fort Kearney State Recreation Area
This is an awesome spot to see the sandhill crane migration in the spring! Parts of the Hike-Bike trail are accessible.
Pioneers Park Nature Center
The Nature Center is a great place to visit in all seasons. You can start by checking out the animal exhibits and listening to the birds in the bird garden! Then hit the trails for wildlife viewings.
