- "What else am I, if not a seeker of justice?"
Justice is a spirit of the Fade who embodies the concept of justice. Though an involuntary guest in the mortal world, his actions have made lasting repercussions on the world of Thedas.
In Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, Justice is a companion of the Warden-Commander.
"Justice" is not a name, it is an identity. Not all the denizens of the Fade identify with darker emotions like rage and pride. Some embody the nobler qualities found in humanity: faith, hope, compassion, valor, and justice.
Although spirits have no definite shape in the Fade, Justice takes the form of an armoured figure and chooses in place of a name, the virtue to which it aspires; Justice.
Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening
Justice is first encountered by The Warden-Commander in the Blackmarsh Undying after they and the Grey Wardens are transported to the Fade upon finding Kristoff's body and being trapped by an intelligent darkspawn,The First. Justice is in the midst of rallying the spirits of the village that was abandoned and are now imprisoned by the Baroness. Justice asks the Wardens for aid in the attack against the Baroness. The Warden-Commander can either reject or accept. If accepted, Justice leads the villagers in breaking down the mansion gates and attacking the Baroness. If the Warden declines, Justice does not push the issue, but should the Warden-Commander side with the Baroness instead, the spirit allies with the First and admonishes the Wardens for their decision. Regardless, Justice fights the Baroness on the balcony while the Wardens confront the First in the courtyard. After the fight, the Baroness sends everyone back to the mortal world by using the First as a source of power, killing it in the process. Justice finds itself housed in Kristoff's body and asks the Warden-Commander for help with killing the Baroness once and for all. This happens regardless of whether or not the Warden-Commander blatantly sided against Justice in the Fade. Once Justice finds the Baroness, their conversation leads to a fight in which the Baroness turns into a pride demon but is eventually slain. After the battle, the Warden-Commander can ask Justice to join the party.
When returning to Vigil's Keep, Kristoff's wife, Aura, recognizes Justice as her husband, and realises he is dead. Disgusted by what was done to his body, she runs away. Justice realizes that, intentional or otherwise, Justice has done Aura a great injustice and asks for the Warden-Commander's aid in gaining Justice for Kristoff and making amends with Aura.
If the Warden-Commander agrees to a truce with The Architect, Justice will object but will be easily persuaded if its approval of the Warden-Commander is high enough and the matter with Kristoff's widow has been resolved. Otherwise Justice will turn on the Wardens and must be slain.
Unlike the other companions, Justice does not undergo the Joining as its host is already a Warden.
- If left to defend the Keep, and the Warden chooses to save the city of Amaranthine, Justice will fight valiantly, but, before the victory horn is sounded, a darkspawn sword removes Kristoff's head. It is unknown whether the spirit perishes or simply departs. At the least, Kristoff's wife, Aura, is finally able to claim her husband's ashes.
- If Vigil's Keep is saved, Justice serves with the Order for many years, keeping in touch with Kristoff's wife, Aura, during its stay. Eventually however, Aura informs it that she can no longer tolerate her husband's rotting body. Justice bids her goodbye, and Kristoff's body slumps to the ground. Where the spirit goes, no one knows.
- If Vigil's Keep is saved, and Justice's quest is completed, it will serve the Order for many years, fighting darkspawn resistance pockets; appearing at Aura's doorstep one day smiling, and falling over dead. It is unknown if the spirit completed its quest, or whether it died, or simply passed back into the Fade.
- Once the darkspawn threat was ended, Justice left the Grey Wardens to pursue other injustices. Years later it appeared on the doorstep of Kristoff's widow and, smiling, simply dropped dead. Aura finally had a body to mourn. If the spirit remains alive, it has not shown itself.
- If Vigil's Keep is not saved and Aura not visited in Amaranthine, Justice will stand in the ruins of Vigil's Keep looking in to the sun and saying "Now I know what to do." The ghost then disappears leaving behind the rotten body of Kristoff.
- If not recruited, a mysterious figure in a Grey Warden armor is occasionally seen in the marsh, erecting gravestones to honor villagers of old. In time, those sightings cease.
Justice likes tokens that remind it of the Fade as well as items that provide insight into Kristoff's life.

Located: Wending Wood - Destroyed Dalish Camp
This prayer implores Falon'din to guide the dead across the Veil.

- See also: Anders (short story) Note: This story takes place after the events of Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening.
Dragon Age II
Regardless of how the Amaranthine Conflict ended, Anders was eventually recruited into the Wardens and Justice became trapped in Kristoff's corpse. Justice urged Anders to fight for the freedom of mages more actively. Anders agreed to become Justice's human host to help his friend, but afterwards Anders's suppressed anger warped Justice into a spirit of Vengeance. Several Templars and Wardens attempted to kill Anders/Justice but are slain in the confrontation leading Anders to flee to the relative safety of Kirkwall in the Free Marches.
Justice tends to take over whenever Anders becomes angry at the injustices done to mages and can be difficult for Anders to control. After their merging while in the Fade Justice is the dominant controlling force.
Justice's attitude towards Hawke is dependent on whether Anders is Hawke's friend or rival. On the friendship path, Justice comes to believe that Hawke is a supporter of it and Anders's campaign for mages' freedom and forms a respect for them. On the rivalry path, however, Vengeance slowly begins to resent Hawke, seeing them as having given in to sloth and willing to stand by as mages are tortured and killed. This simmering resentment explodes when Anders is nearly convinced by Hawke to give up his plan when Vengeance seizes control, demanding that Hawke leave and declaring that Anders has no need of them.
If Hawke romances Anders, regardless of which path they are on with him, Justice disapproves of Anders's growing affection for Hawke, seeing it as a distraction from his commitment to freeing the mages; according to Anders, this is one of a small number of things they disagree on.
Friendship and rivalry also affects Justice personally. If on the friendship path with Anders, the mage eventually claims that he and Justice have merged fully and that destroying the Chantry was a decision made by the two of them. However, on the rivalry path Justice apparently becomes a true demon and as Vengeance often takes over Ander's body, apparently forcing him to blow up the Chantry.
If Anders is brought along to aid Feynriel with his Night Terrors, Justice takes control and expresses surprise at returning to the dreamworld in this manner, but concedes it feels good to breathe the air of the Fade again.
If Hawke listens to or attempts to make a deal with the sloth demon Torpor, Justice will object increasingly before turning hostile, resulting in Anders's death in the Fade. Neither is actually killed, however. If Hawke does not follow through on the deal and asks Anders why Justice couldn't have simply played along with it, Anders admits that a benign spirit is incapable of lying to maintain a ruse, and Justice is no exception.If Hawke chooses to kill Anders, it is currently unknown what happens to Justice. However, according to Solas, when a spirit dies its energy returns to the Fade and may regenerate into another spirit. If the idea giving the spirit form is strong, or if its memory has shaped other spirits, it may someday rise again. It could also rise again with a different personality with no memory of its past.

Dialogue points
Below are the spots where you can initiate dialogue with Justice. On the PC, it can be hard to find the correct spot to click; make sure to hit "tab" and rotate the camera if it's not letting you click on it.
- Vigil's Keep: The chest, right behind Justice.
- The Wending Wood: The dead elf in Velanna's camp
- City of Amaranthine: Statue in front of the Chantry
- Main article: Justice/Dialogue
Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening
- "What else am I if not a seeker of justice?"
- "A world so full of beauty that beauty goes overlooked."
- (Regarding the Lyrium Ring) "Of all the things I have seen in this world, this is the most precious. I shall keep it at my side as a reminder that even in misfortune, good can be found."
- "These Darkspawn are a cancer in the heart of this world."
- "A world ruled by order, static and unchanging. I like it!"
- "How odd that mortals find so many differences to hate when you have so very much in common."
Dragon Age II
- (As Vengeance, to templars) "You will never take another mage as you took him!"
- (As Vengeance) "They will die! I will have every last templar for these abuses! Every one of them will feel Justice's burn!"
- (As Vengeance) "Justice... answers to nobody!"
- (If Hawke convinces Anders to give up his plan) Vengeance: "Leave! This does not concern you!"
- Hawke: "This is Anders's decision, not yours!"
- Vengeance: "I am Anders! You have given into sloth. You would stand by while mages are abducted and tortured. Go. Anders has no need of you."
- In Amaranthine, if you approach either the Innkeeper or Sorcha at the Crown and Lion inn, you will hear a unique dialogue exchanged between them and Justice, whom they believe to be Kristoff.
- If you ally with the Architect, and Justice is in your party, and fail to convince it, it will become hostile to your party. Upon death, it doesn't yield all of its equipment. However, there is an auto-save point just before this so you may reload it to unequip Justice's gear to keep it afterwards, and make the fight easier if you know that you cannot convince him; this can easily be affected by removing any "mental resistance" gear Justice has on.
- The first time the Warden gains approval from Justice, it is possible to max the rating out and prevent any ability bonus. Sigrun appears to share the same bug.
- xbox360 workaround: Through conversation(s) bring Justice's approval lower than 90 - that should "activate" the plot skill; even though they still won't show up in the skill screen, you can see/compare Justice's constitution score and notice that the bonus is there. Then, through gifts and/or conversations you can max out his approval again (or, at least, get it higher than 90 again).
- pc It is possible to get only +5 approval with his gifts, even personal ones. Velanna and Oghren appear to share the bug with fixed approval boosts of +5 and +6 respectively.
- In order to not get the +100 approval bug with any of the characters, you need to do the "blight orphans" quests or "chantry board" quests, that give (dis)approval to a character, only after you recruit that character. For example, if you do the "From the living wood" quest that normally gives -1 approval to Velanna before actually recruiting her, that will get you the +100 approval bug with Velanna. Same goes for the quests for the "blight orphans". If you do quests that give (dis)approval to Justice or Sigrun before recruiting them, that will lead to the bug with them. (Tested on PC)
- pc If you equip Justice with any defensive equipment (Helmet, Armor, etc.), and kill the Baroness, the equipment will disappear. For example, if you equip it with the Sentinel set that is found in the Blackmarsh and kill the Baroness, Justice will talk to you without it. With the Sentinel Set, the equipment might go back into the Iron chests. (Tested on PC, just with Sentinel set and no new weapons)
- pcps3xbox360 When Kristoff is first found, it is possible that he will be "alive" and on his feet, looking about. The tag above his head will say "Kristoff", not "Justice". If the player interacts with Kristoff, the cutscene will begin; in the cutscene Kristoff will be lying on the ground as he should be. What causes this glitch is currently unknown.

Germany sells long-term bonds despite warning from ratings agencyJuly 25, 2012: 11:41 AM ET
One day after Moody's lowered its outlook for Germany's credit rating, the nation sold 2.32 billion euros worth of ultra long-term bonds.
The average yield at Wednesday's auction of 30-year bunds was 2.17%, down from 2.41% at the last such auction in April. The drop in yield, which falls when prices rise, suggests that demand remains strong. However, the amount sold was below the 3 billion euros offered by the German Finance Agency.
The sale came a day after Moody's changed its outlook on Germany's prized Aaa credit rating to "negative" from "stable."
While the move raises the threat of an official credit downgrade, investors appear to be taking Moody's warning with a hefty grain of salt, at least for the time being.
In a sign of the continued demand for bunds as a safe-haven, Germany also sold 752 million euros worth of 10-year inflation-linked bonds at a negative yield of 0.4%. That means investors were effectively paying the government to take their money.
Related: Europe threatens U.S. economy, Geithner says
Moody's decision to lower its outlook for Germany, along with the Netherlands and Luxembourg, was a "one-off factor," according to note from rates strategists at Societe Generale. However, the strategists also supported the rationale behind Moody's decision.
That is, Germany is facing the mother of all Catch-22s.
As the largest economy in the region, Germany could end up assuming the liabilities of its fellow euro area nations if the currency union moves toward some form of debt "mutualization." At the same time, German banks are heavily exposed to the debts of troubled governments on the periphery of the union and an outright collapse would certainly take a toll on the nation's economy.
Even if Germany's top-tier credit rating is tarnished, it may not make much of a difference. After the United States lost its AAA rating last year, yields on U.S. Treasuries continued to fall as investors still view American debt as a safe bet.
In the secondary market, where investors buy and sell bonds, yields on Germany's 10-year bonds ticked higher Wednesday but remained exceptionally low at 1.26%. Meanwhile, yields on Germany's 2-year notes were a negative 0.6%.
As long as Spain and Italy are in the line of fire, investors will probably still flock to German bonds for safety. As bond guru Bill Gross is fond of saying, Germany has "the cleanest dirty shirt" in Europe.

Thanissaro Bhikkhu wrote:"Monks, even if bandits were to carve you up savagely, limb by limb, with a two-handled saw, he among you who let his heart get angered even at that would not be doing my bidding. Even then you should train yourselves: 'Our minds will be unaffected and we will say no evil words. We will remain sympathetic, with a mind of good will, and with no inner hate. We will keep pervading these people with an awareness imbued with good will and, beginning with them, we will keep pervading the all-encompassing world with an awareness imbued with good will — abundant, expansive, immeasurable, free from hostility, free from ill will.' That's how you should train yourselves.
Acharya Buddharakkhita wrote:"Monks, even if bandits were to savagely sever you, limb by limb, with a double-handled saw, even then, whoever of you harbors ill will at heart would not be upholding my Teaching. Monks, even in such a situation you should train yourselves thus: 'Neither shall our minds be affected by this, nor for this matter shall we give vent to evil words, but we shall remain full of concern and pity, with a mind of love, and we shall not give in to hatred. On the contrary, we shall live projecting thoughts of universal love to those very persons, making them as well as the whole world the object of our thoughts of universal love — thoughts that have grown great, exalted and measureless. We shall dwell radiating these thoughts which are void of hostility and ill will.' It is in this way, monks, that you should train yourselves.

We're going to get an answer to this issue once and for all. I finally have a recording and got clearance from the owner today to use the tracks and I'll be recruiting people with the necessary hardware and expertise to generate mixes on various DAWs and hopefully some hardware mixers as well.
When we're done, we'll put them all on a CDR, or several, and you'll be able to line them all up in your workstation of choice and compare them without knowing which is which. Then we can really see, once and for all, whose math sounds best. Is it DP, Logic, PT, PTHD, Paris, or an 02R?
Soon we'll know.

This might be outside the zone of this blog. This might have nothing to do with education. Or it might have everything to do with it.
Dear Brenna,
I watched The Little Mermaid a few weeks ago. I understand Ariel's curiosity. I get the sense of sacrifice that goes with love. It might seem like she was a heroine, but she wasn't. I know that the infatuation looked a lot like love, but it wasn't. She sacrificed everything for someone she didn't know and he sacrificed nothing in the process. That wasn't heroic. It was masochistic.
When you get older and watch the movie, I want to know the original story, where the little mermaid evaporates into foam. There are powerful people out there who will woo you with the promise that you'll be part of their world; be it a handsome prince or a high-paying job or the accolades of a top-tier college.
I don't want you to lose yourself. I don't want you to evaporate. I don't want you to lose your voice.
You should never have to change your identity to meet the dreams of a man. No relationship, no promise, no plot line in a fairy tale story is ever worth giving up your voice. Be curious. Be bold. But cling to your voice with your whole being, Brenna. You're already strong and vocal. I don't want you to ever lose that.

WEST NEW YORK, N.J., April 19 (UPI) -- A New Jersey woman said Friday she was a sister of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects and was devastated by the idea her brothers were involved in the attack.
The woman, whose name was not available, told The (Newark) Star-Ledger that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, and his brother Tamerlan, 26, were "great people" and she would have never expected them to be involved in the bombing.
"They are smart -- I don't know what's gotten into them," she said.
About a dozen FBI agents showed up at the woman's apartment in West New York Friday, apparently with a search warrant. They were seen bringing official evidence boxes into the residence a short time later.
It was not known what the agents might have seized from the residence. The police chief of West New York said the woman was cooperating with investigators.
"I'm not okay -- no one is okay right now," the woman added when asked by The Star-Ledger reporter if she was holding up under the sudden stress. "I'm hurt for everyone who has been hurt. I'm sorry for all the people who are hurt and for all the people who lost their lives."

Itâs official, the HTC One is the latest Android phone from HTC and the company has high hopes that it will give them a competitive edge over Apple and Samsung. We got to spend some quality time with the HTC One in New York City and we came away thoroughly impressed.
Specs wise, the HTC One is the most powerful Android smartphone to date. The phone is powered by Qualcommâs new Snapdragon 600 processor and it includes 2GB or ram, but the real story of the HTC One is about the camera. The device uses a new technology called Ultrapixels which allows it to absorb 300% more light than competing devices. What this means for consumers is clearer images and nearly zero image blur.
At the event in NYC we tested out the new camera and came away impressed by what we saw. The shutter was always fast and image graininess was lower than what we expected. Consumers will be giving up on the megapixel race with the HTC One, but the improved quality of their images should be evident.
HTC Zoe is a brand new way to think about images. Rather than just snapping pictures, Zoe records three second video clips which can be easily be compiled into a 30 second video â" which captures an event or activity much better than images alone. The video highlights software comes with a variety of transition animations and soundtracks. While you donât have creative editing control, Zoe does a good job of piecing your different clips together. If youâre not fully satisfied with the results, thereâs a remix option which changes the order of the clips, timing of edits, and music to give you a different result.
The unibody aluminum casing of the HTC One is simply phenomenal. At itâs thickest point, the HTC One is about the same thickness as the HTC One X, but the back of the phone tapers off towards the edges, making it feed a lot thinner than it actually is. The phone will be available in both black and silver, but weâre having a really hard time deciding which color we will be picking up.
There are a lot of new features included in the HTC One, but we didnât get the opportunity to test them all out ourselves. Weâll hopefully be getting a demo unit from HTC in the coming weeks and weâll be sure to talk you through all of the new improvements and innovations which HTC will be delivering to consumers with the HTC One.
What are your thoughts on the HTC One? Will it be enough for HTC to compete with Samsung and Apple?

From the President - June 2005
Summer is here. Hockey may be pretty low on your priority list right now. A few players have already been in Spring Leagues. Other summer programs have begun or will begin soon. Many of us will be shuttling our kids to hockey rinks again. Believe it or not, the 2005 - 2006 season is slowly gearing up.
The IYHA Board is getting acquainted. The latest member to be welcomed is the new Boys Coordinator, Mark Mohar. While just two new faces were added in the recent elections, there are actually five more members that have joined the Board within the past 18 months. Three of those are appointments that filled mid-term vacancies. Four of the eleven members have been on the Board for more than two years. It is a nice mix of experience.
A new bond also needs to form between next season's coaching staff. We need to develop a coaching structure that intertwines the coaches, the Program Coordinators, the ACE Coordinator and the girls and boys High School coaches. Communication and cooperation will be key components.
Budgets will be a topic this summer. Each of us saw some benefit this past season from extra income from Lake Region charitable gambling. There are indications that those funds may be lower this year. Our other major fundraising source, the Super Rink Tournaments, also took a dip in profits last year. The proceeds from charitable gambling and the tournaments are divided between the Irondale and Mounds View youth hockey programs. The Board will have to tighten the belt to eliminate or at least minimize the direct impact to each IYHA family.
You can relax. Things are in good hands. Go ahead and enjoy your summer.
Jim Cich, IYHA President e-mail:

Summer Parades! Get ready for rollerblading and passing out candy!
Villagefest (St. Anthony): Friday, August 5
Stock Yard Days (New Brighton): Thursday, August 11
Festival in the Park (Mounds View): stay tuned!
Last year we had a great turnout for our parade entries. Please watch the newsletter and / or website for more information as it becomes available. If anyone is interested in helping with some of the parade details, please contact Brian Johnson. Last year it is a lot of fun and the children have a great time!
Team News:
The Irondale Squirts, playing in the Squirt American Division in the Spirit of the Wild Spring league, won the league championship last night. The team finished the regular season with 7 wins and 4 losses, but one of our losses was a forfeit loss because we didn't have a goalie. We actually won the game 8-2 with 9 skaters and no goalie. So, those of us close to the team and with an obvious bias call it an 8 and 3 regular season.
In the play-offs the Knights team went 3 & 0 with an amazing double overtime victory over the Blaine Bombers in the championship game to win the title of 2005 league champs. In the title game we fell behind 3-0 within the first ten minutes, but kept our composure, went back to our game plan and fought back to take a 4-3 lead in to the last eight minutes of the game. The Bombers put home a goal from within the crease with less than a minute left in regulation and off to overtime we went. We overcame two overtime penalty kills to win the game with less than two minutes left in the second overtime while playing 4 on 4 hockey.
Spirit of the Wild participants were: 2004 Ponies - A.J. Anderson and Alex Fredberg. 2004 C Squirts - Logan Johnson and Tom Crandall. 2004 B Squirts - Austin Sonterre, Matt Rog, Tony Bridgeman, Alex LaPorte, Kyle O'Connor, Ryan Ekblad, Patrick Muldoon, Vinnie Martinjako and Isaac Druvenga. A Squirts - Esko Aukee and Marco Lucarelli. Head Coach - Rich Sonterre, Asst. Coach Dale Aukee

IYHA Board of Directors meeting
Minutes of the Meeting of May 19, 2005
Note: These minutes have not been approved. They will be reviewed, corrected as needed, and approved at the next regular Board of Directors Meeting.
Meeting called to order at 6:34 p.m. by President Jim Cich. Minutes Recorder: Jeanne Falconer.
Board Members Present: Jim Cich, Brian Johnson, Jeanne Falconer, Cheryl Mason, Chris Tahti, Renae Olesen, Pat O'Connor and Tom Welty, Mark Mohar.
Guests: Mark Rupp, Tom Hanson, John Donovan, Barry Rog, Jackie Rogg, Al Morelli, John Eide, Jodi Lorence and Dan Lorence
President: Jim Cich
Jim introduced himself and let everyone know this is his first meeting as President. We all introduced ourselves.
Discussion regarding the Boys' Coordinator position. There were 4 absentee ballots cast. The decision came down to voiding the absentee ballots and let the count stand without them. (The 4 absentee ballots did not change the outcome of the election). Or to void the election and hold it again. Motion to void the 4 ballots and have the count stand (JF) (MB), motion carried, one opposed. The reason to void the ballots is because the decision to have them was made very close to the election and was not announced to the entire membership. We (board) know the election process has to be visited and decisions made. Absentee ballots have not been allowed at any time in the past. It is unlikely that elections will be held in any month other than April. April is the last month of the fiscal year and is the month following the end of the hockey season. Mark Mohar was accepted as the Boys' Coordinator.
The vote count is not publicized. It hasn't been in the past and is unlikely to be in the future – out of consideration of the candidates.
Proposal to have handouts at registration about upcoming open positions.
ACE Coordinator – reviewed the responsibilities of the ACE (Association Coaching & Education Coordinator). New resolution written up. Went through it to change any wording and to accept it. There was 1 opposed to the changes made and to accept it as changed. It was pointed out that the wage structure for the ACE will have to change. We're a small assoc. w/limited funds. We need to lower the wage. It was suggested a wage base and if any teams requested the ACE on ice for development, that team would pay whatever hourly rate is decided.
It was asked by a guest why the HS coach isn't more involved. It is looking like he will have more involvement this year. It was made clear Mr. Martin only wants to work with the kids, is not looking for any position. It was suggested that Jim extend the "olive branch" to both Girls and Boys HS coaches and to invite them to meetings. It was said that Rodefeldt (sp) offered his services on ice for free, but no one attended so he has stayed away from the youth program. CT contends that he has tried to contact him a number of times without success, but will not give up. It was also pointed out that when Jeff Martin ran the clinics in January (1.5 hours each for Squirts, PeeWees and Bantams), that he did NOT charge for his time. JD will remain the ACE. He must work with Mark and the HS Coach (as well as Chris and the Girls' HS Coach).
JF suggested that at registration, instead of rushing to get all the forms to everybody – to take the time to explain the part where it says A/B, B/C, C only so people truly understand this part – this does make a difference in whether or not there are A teams.
Want budgets in early.
Vice President: Brian Johnson
Proposing we do the same 3 parades as last year. Is looking for volunteers. If get enough – will turn his go cart into a mini float of a hockey puck. Will be or has requested applications for the parades. We do have our tournament committee together – there are good people on it. Will be meeting with MV end of May beginning of June. A 3rd parent has donated equipment – there are lots of promises. Has applied to 10,000 rinks/MN Wild for the equipment. If we are chosen, we will get 12 new sets of equipment. We need to promote our program of getting new and used equipment. It is important to help the beginners out so they (and parents) get hooked. Will make a spread sheet of who has donated and what has been donated. Will say anonymous for those who don't want their name published. St. Anthony has an up and running equipment rental program – something to look into.
Treasurer: Jeanne Falconer.
Money will be tighter this year – it's a good possibility. Did NOT get a check from Lake Region for April. It is tabled and when the funds are available, will get something – maybe $5000, or maybe less. Summer is slow and the no smoking ban has really hurt business.
Will have to look closely at the ACE wage. It will no doubt have to be significantly reduced. If a team requests the ACE on the ice for development, then that team will pay him, as a team pays anyone it invites to be on the ice for development.
All the team checkbooks are in and all the paperwork that goes with them. Thank you VERY much to all the team treasurers. All of you did a great job, had lots of patience and perhaps some of you will be treasurers again next season.
Fees for USA and MN Hockey are up from $32 to $40 for next season. Would like to know what the costs of the refs will be and also the cost of the ice. Need to start figuring ahead.
End of fiscal year – will be pulling everything together for the accountant. The reason we have an audit, is to ensure there is no fraud or anything else underhanded and everything is on the up and up.
He does our 990's, gets the paperwork and filing ready for our non-prophet status and does our 1099's.
Secretary: Niki Gjere.
Absent – avail. by phone if any voting issues arise.
Deadline for newsletter is June 1. Will have the surveys collated for the June meeting.
It was brought up that many of the membership would like to receive the newsletter earlier, especially to see what issues will be on the agenda at the up coming meeting so plans can be made to attend if so desired.
This probably can be done, but in order to do so, the deadline will be held. Nothing accepted late.
Boy's Program Coordinator: Mark Mohar: Has been working with Dan Marcouiller – would like or needs to have an idea of what year each player is at. He has been in touch with Jeff Martin.
Girls' Program Coordinator: Chris Tahti:
U14 situation: MV will not host the U14 team. Has asked IYHA if it will host the team. We would like to, definitely. However, we are not in D2, so we cannot. TC rules that the U14 team(s) is/are co-opted and no assoc. can have its own. This is definitely a subject that will keep working on and looking for options. Suggested that maybe Lake Region would be interested in hosting a combined IYHA and MVYHA U14 team if they have an affiliation. LR rep will ask about this.
U12 – want to recruit so we have enough players for an A and B level. HS doesn't think he'll have to pull any 7th graders – that leaves a firm 21 at U12.
U8 is the biggest area that is growing in Girls' hockey. Most associations have the best luck at growing by establishing U8. Is going to work w/Cheryl, John, Jim and Tom, etc. about phasing in the U8 program. It would take the girls from the initiation. Vast majority of assoc. grow as soon as the boys and girls are separated. This is an opportunity for us to grow. It starts with parent meetings, for parents of past years – focusing on the girls – if they want to play just girls or not.
U10 – talking with other associations – busy recruiting. Need 5 – 6 more players so we can have 2 teams.
Initiation Coordinator: Cheryl Mason:
The initiation had coaches as referees and participated in a jamboree – this was the first time. Had a good time and experience.
It was a good year – this past season. Was able to collect money from those who had dropped out.
Want ideas for promotion and generating advertising.
Had or will have - meeting with coaches from last season to see what worked and what didn't and get a start on planning what to do next season.
We have pretty good numbers compared to the other associations in TC – (talking about Initiation numbers of course)
How about a marketing task force for the upcoming Stockyard Days? Create a booth promoting IYHA.
District Representative: Tom Welty.–
Thanks to Randy Bortot for attending the district meeting as Tom wasn't able to make it.
There's still talk about eliminating TC District. There is an upcoming meeting in Pequot Lakes. It's not a dead issue at this time.
Congratulations to Travis Baker. He was 1 of 3 from TC to make the Select 15 team in St. Cloud.
TC will revisit the Bantam situation after the summer – so we can come in with suggestions. IYHA needs our own A Bantam team. Tom sent out inquiries to all involved, and the consensus is that IYHA keeps its own A Bantam team.
A guest brought up the idea of MV and IYHA combining into one assoc. again. This has been brought up and talked about – supposedly people are interested, but it seems to be a game of tag and no one really sits down and talks.
Equipment coordinator: Randy Bortot. Absent.
Registration Coordinator: Pat O'Connor:
Everything is good. Will be getting dates out for registration.
Ice Commissioner: Renae Oleson:
Should be hearing from VMIA next week. Same w/Super Rink. Will hear from Fogerty in Aug. Have had no replies from Columbia and Edison. Ramsey County ice coming in June or July. Forest Lake has closed its arena, which will put more competition for ice at Columbia and even SR.
Lake Region:
Income is down. Champps is really hurting due to the smoking ban. It has done nothing to remodel to retain customer base. Mermaid and those that have remodeled are packed.
Want to encourage IYHA and MVYHA members to support Champps and let them know where you're from when you are there. Champps has an outdoor party each year. Think it's July 10th this year. Please try to make it. LR might try to have a raffle of some sort. Cannot bring the pull tabs outside.
April 30 is end of fiscal year.
Always looking for new sites and sources of income. There was something brought up that needs more investigation – ATM machines. LR would have to maintain them and would make $3 or so per transaction.
Coon Rapids does not allow any outside groups. Would have to partner with another charity in Coon Rapids if we want to pursue the new place going in on 10 (where Broadway Pizza was?)
Instead of meeting with a couple members of each board, will call a special meeting to meet with both boards regarding the tournament and the money situation. It has been suggested that the money be run through LR. LR would take no money and would give the profit 50/50 to each assoc. as has been done. It would enable LR to show another source of income.
Have put in request to get the Lake Region name off the Ramsey County ice contract. There is ongoing discussion regarding new sites. Any ideas are welcome.
Board meeting motion to adjourn (TW) (JF). Meeting adjourned.

About XorCurses
XorCurses is a game based on Xor by Astral Software. XorCurses is written by jwm-art.net, aka, James W. Morris. The original Xor game was released in 1987 for the 8 bit home computers popular at the time. XorCurses attempts to faithfully recreate that game for Linux, with particular attention placed on the behaviour of the objects within the original game.
It could be said that XorCurses is a regression from the graphics of the old 8 bit computers as it uses an even more basic display: coloured ASCII characters instead of pixel based graphics.
About Xor
There are no random events in XOR's labyrinthine palace, and there is no premium on hand-eye coordination. You have all the time in the world to work out the precise nature of the hazards you encounter. Logical thinking, strategy and tactical problem solving are part of the XOR experience. And XOR is not simply about finding solutions. If you can solve the entire puzzle (15 levels plus an encrypted anagram), you qualify to be a member of the Order of XOR*.
* XorCurses does not have an encrypted anagram to solve.
The basic premise of Xor is to roam around a series of mazes collecting blue masks. You have two player-shields to aid you and you can use either one at any time and switch between them. In order to complete a level, all the masks must be collected and then one of the players taken to the exit.
The first level is simply a matter of navigation (aside from the force fields which prevent movement in some directions but not others). The second level introduces fish which fall and chickens which run left. If either of these hit your player-shield after moving more than one block then that player will die.
Unlike many other games, the levels don't have to be played sequentially. You may also complete a level even if one of your players has perished. Every time you begin a level, you always begin with both your players. There is also NO TIME LIMIT!
Other objects to be found in Xor are bombs, dolls, light-switches, and teleports. All the objects have strictly defined, simple and predictable behaviour. There is no randomness. Inspite of this simplicity, Xor is well known for it's fiendishly difficult puzzles. Put it this way, I found it easier to program the game from scratch, than I have found playing the game.
XorCurses on github.com can be followed at but as development is sporadic, it really only acts as a backup.
Xor on danceswithferrets.org is a good resource for information about different versions of Xor from past to present, and lots of reference material including graphics, maps, and other technical notes. Certainly most useful during the early stages of XorCurses development.

Couple of months ago I had the privilege of styling a Sock Monkey Inspired baby shower for my dear friend Juliana. You might remember her invitation from here.
I went with the same color I used for the invitation. I made a personalized wreath using fabric and the baby's name Caleb (yep, Gigi did her thing).
We wanted to have a diaper cake ( my first one) instead of the cake – there were cupcakes instead made by Gabi Walker, and I just love how it all turned out.
I was so excited to show off my newest acquisition – a mirrored dresser that I found at Homegoods ( I just heart that store so much!!).
Instead of having the clothesline with the oneses I decided to use the vintage frame I got at Material for The Arts the last time I was there and display the oneses inside as if they were some Art. There were mason jars decorating the tables and my favorite party item: red stripped paper straw ( love the vintage look paper straws bring to any party)
We sent guests home with chocolate covered honey breads wrapped in ribbon.
There were also personalized thank you cards with M&Ms and handmade crochet monkeys by avapapernewyork
Pam Rodrigues was in Boston on that day photographing Bella Angel's 1st Birthday so my dear friend Joyce Walker was the girl behind the lens this time.
Hope you like all the details.
I had so much fun styling Juliana's party. Congrats amiga on the arrival of baby Caleb ( he is now almost a month old)
If you need paper straws or looooove the Monkey invitation please stop by my Etsy shop
Hope you have an amazing Friday!!!

MADISON, Wis. — Monroe, Wis., is a small city with a big reputation for its cheese. Now, a partnership between manufacturer Orchid Monroe and University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers may expand the city's expertise to include innovative clean vehicle technology.
Orchid Monroe is providing support for researchers from the Wisconsin Electric Machines and Power Electronics Consortium to develop a particularly rugged experimental electric vehicle: a Ford F-150 pickup truck.
Once graduate students and Orchid Monroe engineers convert the truck to an electric vehicle powered by an Orchid-built traction motor and custom integrated motor controller package, the vehicle will become an up-to-date test bed for a wide range of battery and power train performance experiments by WEMPEC researchers.
Orchid Monroe manufactures laminated electrical grade steel components and assemblies for the automotive, electric motor, generator, lighting, transformer and wind power industries. In the past two years, the company has expanded into developing and manufacturing an electric traction drive system for buses and other large vehicle applications.
Led by electrical and computer engineering graduate student Phil Kollmeyer, a group of graduate students approached the company about supporting development of an electric truck in summer 2010. Orchid Monroe embraced the project, providing the truck and equipment, as well as setting aside facility space for students to use.
"We've dreamed about developing a state-of-the-art, highly-instrumented electric vehicle, and we happened to connect with Orchid at just the right time," says Kollmeyer.
"We'll convert the truck with our motors and software and let the students drive it for a couple of years at the university to collect data," says Will Lamb, Orchid Monroe engineering manager.
The data will help Orchid Monroe assess the performance of its components as the company expands into supplying the electrical drive industry. Moving Orchid Monroe into the electric vehicle industry could be beneficial for the broader Monroe community, says vice president of sales and marketing Keith Cornacchia.
"We have received an overwhelming amount of interest and encouragement, especially from the Green County Development Corp., the Monroe Chamber of Commerce and the City of Monroe," he says. "We are fortunate to be part of a fantastic community. "
Until now, a 10-year-old Corbin Sparrow (a lightweight, three-wheel electric vehicle) was the main vehicle used for electric vehicle-related experiments in WEMPEC. The new truck will use lithium-ion batteries, which are becoming standard in modern electric vehicles, as well as provide plenty of room for more instrumentation.
WEMPEC researchers will use the new electric vehicle test bed to investigate battery characteristics, such as predicting energy stored in the battery and how battery performance changes over time. They will also evaluate the performance of the major powertrain elements, including the power converter and electric machine.
Beyond studying current technologies, WEMPEC researchers also plan to use the truck to explore future possibilities for electric vehicles.
"We're interested in a version of these electric vehicles that not only can be charged by a utility but also can deliver power back to that utility," says Thomas Jahns, WEMPEC co-director and the Grainger Professor of Power Electronics and Electrical Machines in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
"When plugged in, these vehicles can be used as energy storage resources that supply some of their energy back to a smart grid when needed. Using the energy stored in electric vehicle batteries could help to fill in temporary dips in the power delivered by intermittent renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind," Jahns says.

This summer, invite your love on a romantic getaway in Texas. Reserve a private cabin surrounded by live oaks on a spacious ranch just an hour outside of Houston. Wake your sweetie early in the morning, and surprise him or her with a romantic hot air balloon ride. If arrangements are made in advance, Texas Air Adventures will bring the balloon to our guest ranch near Houston. These are private flights for just the two of you; they are a perfect place to propose, if that is on your mind, or simply to say "I love you" to the person who has stood by you year after year.
Soar over the countryside for about an hour, at dawn. Watch the world awaken as you silently glide above. You may bring your camera, of course, but the folks at Texas Air Adventures will also take photos and give you a CD of your flight; that way, if you would rather simply experience the beauty of the ride together, you will still have images to help you remember it. After the ride, share champagne next to the balloon.
Father's Day is coming up. Why not surprise the father of your children with a ride he will never forget? Or perhaps you know your own father has always dreamed of soaring silently over the Texas Hill Country; make it happen this year.

1st Edition, bound
Goya's images of the Spanish bullfight are full of drama, tension, and violence. The bullfight takes place in an enclosed space, surrounded by rows of transfixed visitors. It offers certain death for the bulls, but also possible death for their human opponents in the ring. Goya's extensive painted and etched images of bullfights are powerful, psychological studies of the conflict between men and animals, and his bulls are often given more nobility than the men who surround them.

Do you ever fake cellphone calls? I sure do! And apparently so do the people at Samsung. Their product manual explains how to conjure up a fake call "when you want to get out of meetings or unwanted conversations."
The blurb, which a Reddit user claims he found in the manual of his colleague's new Samsung phone, actually outlines a pretty advanced version of the popular technique: making your phone actually ring before you fake answer it. Usually I just shove the thing up toward my face and start talking. [Reddit via BoingBoing]
