Throughout the year, Vancouver Whitecaps FC teamed up with club partners to develop a variety of exciting initiatives and contests for any and every 'Caps fan.
As part of these partnership activations, fans were able to get up close and personal with Whitecaps FC playing and coaching staff as well as win some fabulous prizes, including a car, fuel vouchers and VIP treatment on matchdays.
The club and its loyal group of partners also organized charity events on matchday to help those in the wider community that are in need of support.
Predict a Goal
In 2012, Bell launched their 'Predict a Goal' contest online. Fans were invited to log on to Bell.ca/predictagoal for both home and away matches and predict who would score a goal and at what time in the game. Anyone who correctly predicted a goal received an autographed jersey from the player that scored the goal.
Bell Employee Giving Campaign
Another fun activity that the 'Caps teamed up with Bell on was the Bell Employee Giving Campaign to raise money and awareness for the United Way. (CAUTION: Beware of pies to the face)
Power of Blue Line
At every match, BMO customers were asked to enter via the Power of Blue Line at gate A for a chance to win one of several amazing experiences, including: a chance to participate in the official coin toss before a match; the opportunity to get upgraded tickets and a $50 food and beverage voucher via the Move of the Match; and a chance to participate in the post-match penalty kick where they get to try and score a goal on Whitecaps FC team mascot, Spike.
Y.P. Lee autograph signing
A very popular event this year was an autograph signing by South Korean superstar defender Young-Pyo at BMO's coquitlam branch.
See the excitement for yourself:
Player card giveaway
Throughout the summer, Whitecaps FC player cards were available at Chevron locations throughout the province. Player cards included instructions on how to enter the "Know Your 'Caps Sweepstakes". The winner received tickets to the October 21 match vs. Portland Timbers; food vouchers for the match; a Whitecaps FC Merchandise package; $600 gas cards to Chevron and two players to assist with the coaching of a youth soccer practice.
Budweiser pool ball is a genius combination of pool and soccer, played on a small turf pool field. Mini soccer balls are used as pool balls, and instead of using a pool cue to strike the balls into the pockets, the competitors step onto the table/field and use their feet. Venues throughout the lower mainland hosted Budweiser Poolball nights all season and sometimes included Whitecaps FC player appearances.
Wow the Wall
Air Canada launched a "Wow the Wall" Campaign on their Facebook page, asking fans to create an inspirational message for their team. The winning message was transformed into a giant TIFO design that was revealed by 5000 fans in the stands to the winner at a match on Air Canada's Match Night). Beyond the surprise of having their message illustrated and presented to the team, the winner and guest received access to the executive suite for the match, Whitecaps FC gear and a behind the scenes tour. The contest was promoted via social media and online.
Open Practice
In 2012, Vancouver Whitecaps FC hosted their first open practice in partnership with Sport Chek. About 500 fans were invited to sign up for the free event online beforehand. Fans in attendance got up close and personal at Swangard Stadium, as head coach Martin Rennie ran a special training session for the fans. Some lucky supporters were allowed to join 'Caps players on the pitch and participate in some of the drills. Rennie was a gracious host, as he talked the fans through all the drills, and when the practice was done, the players mingled with the fans and signed many autographs. Following the Open Practice, fans were invited to an autograph session at a nearby Sport Chek for a chance to meet Joe Cannon and Darren Mattocks.
Hampster Ball Race
Two fans, in giant hamster balls, ran through an obstacle course of giant tools during the halftime break in the June 16 match vs. Colorado Rapids. Both contestants won The Home Depot prize packs in the 'Skills and Drills Competition'.
Tackle Hunger
On July 22, Purolator teamed up with the 'Caps for the Purolator Tackle Hunger food drive in support of the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. The food drive took place during 'Caps Kickoff and donations were collected at all gates. The first 500 fans who donated a minimum of $5 or four non-perishable food items received an autographed Whitecaps FC pennant, on a first-come-first-serve basis. To further support the initiative, Purolator donated 250 pounds of food for every Whitecaps FC corner kick during the match. Around 7500 pounds of food were donated during the initiative.
Fan Trip to Seattle
Whitecaps FC ambassador Carl Valentine hosted the Day Trip for 50 fans on August 18 that saw Whitecaps FC take on Seattle Sounders FC. The trip included transportation, breakfast, Whitecaps trivia and prizes, match tickets and a post-match meal with Carl Valentine.
Custom Whitecaps FC Kia Sorento Giveaway
Kia created the Custom Whitecaps FC Sorento SX which was put on display at 'Caps Kickoff throughout the 2012 season. As part of their Fandemonium contest that ran across all three Canadian teams, fans were encouraged to go to the Fandemonium website and vote for their team to show support. Three fans from each region were selected to participate in a contest to win their team's custom car. On September 29, three lucky Whitecaps FC fans participated in the 'Kick it to Win' halftime contest. Each fan was given one shot to score a goal from the centre of the pitch. The contestant who scored the goal would win the WFC Kia Sorento. Jesse Aben of Calgary, Alberta, was the only contestant to score and win the major prize.
Coaching Clinic
On September 23, about 300 coaches from around the province participated in the inaugural Vancouver Whitecaps FC Coaching Clinic presented by Tim Hortons. The clinic was free for all participants and took place at BC Place. 'Caps assistant coach Paul Ritchie and club ambassador Carl Valentine introduced and transitioned attendees through six demonstrational coaching sessions over two and a half hours. Ritchie and fellow Whitecaps FC coaches Jake Declute, Carl Robinson, Marius Rovde, Craig Dalrymple, Bart Choufour, Rich Fagan, Martin Nash, Steve Meadley, and Leigh Sembaluk led Whitecaps FC Pre-Residency players through drills that covered short passes, dribbling, possession, shooting, and one-on-one attacking. Participants were encouraged to watch closely and take notes, with Whitecaps FC coaching staff addressing all questions at the end. The event was designed to help participants hone their coaching techniques to help soccer players reach their full potential. Coaches were also taught new drills and coaching techniques.
FIFA Soccer 13 Challenge
As part of their match night sponsorship on October 3, EA SPORTS brought FIFA Soccer 13 to life with their halftime contest, the FIFA Soccer 13 Challenge. The FIFA Soccer 13 Challenge had two young aspiring soccer players attempt to score free kicks over the heads of a practice wall. The youngster who scored the most out of three attempts won an EA SPORTS Sport Video Library. Jonas Hakkinen had the fans cheering and won the contest by placing all three balls in the net.

In physical cosmology, the Big Bang is the scientific theory that the universe emerged from a tremendously dense and hot state about 13.7 billion years ago. The theory is based on the observations indicating the expansion of space (in accord with the Robertson-Walker model of general relativity) as indicated by the Hubble redshift of distant galaxies taken together with the cosmological principle.

Contrary to popular belief, you don't need eight glasses of water a day to stay hydrated. In fact, our water needs vary from person to person. We consume water in the foods we eat (fruits and vegetables) and the beverages we drink. Instead of counting ounces, follow these straightforward guidelines to find balance for your body:
- Urine — Check your color. A hydrated body will produce clear urine as opposed to yellow or darker pigments, which indicate dehydration.
- Skin — Skin elasticity is largely dependant on its water content. Well-hydrated skin is sure to be supple and moist with water suspended in its membranes.
- Energy — Every reaction in our bodies, either directly or indirectly, uses water. High energy levels are a good sign that your powerhouse (made of about 60 percent water) is fueled and running efficiently. If you are fatigued and think it may be water related, you should experience relief within about an hour of drinking 16 to 32 ounces.
- Regularity — The foods we eat bind water for easy elimination. Bowel regularity is a good place to ensure your water status is in check. When our hydration stores are low, our body will take water from wherever it can find it — especially the colon where it is needed to soften stool. Keep hydrated to keep regular.
Prevention is key when it comes to staying properly hydrated. Get an early start and drink a glass of water right out of bed. Throughout the day, make water accessible by carrying a reusable bottle. If water's flavor is too plain for your taste buds, make a splash by adding a slice of citrus fruit or cucumber to your glass. Using these tips you can gauge your water tank intuitively.

CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. – The Canton Police Department is investigating a string of breaking and enterings of pharmacies that have happened since July 4th, 2012.
There have been five so far. They are primarily taking place between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. The suspects usually break out a window on the door and only spend a few minutes in the store.
It appears there are several crews at work. One set of suspects consists of two white males and the other consists of two black males. The two white males appear to be approximately 5'6" in height. They are wearing dark clothing, ski masks, baseball caps and bandanas in order to conceal their identities. The two black males also wore dark clothing, baseball caps and bandanas in order to conceal their identities. In the latest B & E on August 24th, there were two white males and two black males similarly dressed.
The two white males appear to be driving a light colored, 4 door, mid-sized sedan; possibly either a Pontiac G6 or Dodge Neon.
The Canton Police Department asks that anyone with information please call them at 734-394-5400 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800 SPEAK UP. A cash reward of up to $1,000 is being offered through Crime Stoppers.

If you think that the only shit to clean up after a miscarriage is of the psychological nature, you are wrong.
Here's what else there is:
-A baby bump to get rid of, without a baby to make it worth it. I've been thin my whole life, and I'm not going to lie, I've liked it that way. I was just -- just -- recovered physically from H's birth to the point where I recognized myself last fall. Then IVF, 1.5 trimesters of pregnancy and all the wine and ice cream sundaes I drowned my sorrows in afterward...and I'm not thin. I feel horrible, and I know I don't look like a thin person, and the worst part of that is there is no apparent explanation for it. I sort of want to have a t-shirt made that says "I'm fat because I had a miscarriage." I know this all sounds very vain, but there it is.
-As a result, wardrobe issues to contend with. As soon as the procedures were over, I wanted back in normal clothes. I would literally burn my maternity clothes if I didn't think there was a modicum of chance that we may still use a surrogate, and it might cut costs to ask her if she can wear some of the clothes we have. But I'm definitely not back in my normal clothes, either -- at least not the sizes I was wearing last fall. So I've had to buy fat clothes, and let me tell you, it is physically painful to do this.
-Bills to pay. There's a whole big billing mess with my fertility clinic that I might make you suffer through at some point; the short story is that they wouldn't actually take the insurance plan they said they took when I signed up for it, so we ended up owing $1,300 to them this year for the pregnancy monitoring. And other bills keep trickling in. I just received one from the perinatologist's office for $400+ for two ultrasounds; it's incorrect, so I am now in a super fun phone war with them to correct it. Oh, and my insurance company is still dragging their heels on paying out for the laminaria procedure pre-D&E, because apparently they think just for fun I went to the hospital one evening to have seaweed sticks shoved in my cha cha so they could safely remove my dead baby. I can't tell you what it does to my soul to have these arguments with these people. What I really want to do is tell them to pound sand.
-Stuff still in the attic. There are bins upon bins of stuff up there that I would love to sell, but still can't, because if we do make one of these embryos into a person it will be a boy, and the thought of buying that stuff all over again makes me want to go to sleep right now. So we remain in limbo, not using those things but not free to sell them, either.
-Just the general shitiness of living in a super fertile town where everyone has lots of kids and many people seem to take that for granted. I am reminded everywhere I go that we are different, and not in an electively cool alternative/hip/indie way. Different in a mother-nature-shit-on-us way.
To counter all of this suckage, I am in the process of getting a puppy. Which isn't going to make it go away, but is going to make things a little bit cuter.

Collateral Damage
If you think that the only shit to clean up after a miscarriage is of the psychological nature, you are wrong.

I haven't written, because I'm not sure what to say.
The clinic won't do it. They won't let us take my friend's other-worldly offer to carry our baby.
I can't get into the particulars -- this is a real person who has been through enough scrutiny and discussion around her reproductive system. We knew all along that she wasn't the "ideal" candidate on paper that you'd get by going through an agency. She was ideal in every other way -- every way that matters in someone you're considering putting your embryo in -- but something in her pregnancy past gave the doctors pause. And ultimately, after a lengthy review, the risks spooked the docs too much to give us the green light.
What can I say about another heartbreak? About all this torture with nothing to show? About having to say no to someone offering to make you a baby when you can't do it yourself? About the fact that we're left with four frozen embryos, and all I can think about is the fact that one of them might look like his brother H -- but we'll probably never know?
I get up every day and give it my all. I haven't missed a beat with work. I laugh and eat and read and exercise and even enjoy myself a lot of the time. My life is good. But someone is missing.

One Day Roofing Company
We will call you within 24 hours to schedule your estimate.
Your roof is the front line of defense for your home. It protects everything inside from the elements. Your roof system is only going to be as sturdy as its weakest link and shingle – a crack somewhere can cause the entire system to break down, allowing leaks and moisture into your home.
As roofs age, they will begin to wear down, lessening their effectiveness to serve their primary goal: to shed water and protect your home. The necessity for a roof replacement may also be expedited if your roof suffers some type of storm damage, such as hail, wind, hurricane damage, or even a branch or tree falling through. After 10 years of age, a shingle roof can start to wear down, and it is a good idea to have your roof inspected after any major storms.
Most Bellefonte homeowners want to know whether they need a full roof replacement, or if minor repairs are sufficient. This is not an easy answer because there are many variables and each situation is unique (age of roof, storm damage, materials used, etc.), and truly depends. There are some variables that go into it.
If your roof is starting to leak, or missing shingles, then it is a good idea to have a thorough roof inspection. Just because your roof is leaking does not necessarily mean that you need a whole brand new roof. However, it is a good idea to see what is causing those leaks, and if it is a sign of a bigger problem and weakening shingles.
The first step you will need to take is to assess your roof's condition, and the extent of any damage (if there is any from a recent storm). If it is leaking without visible wind damage or missing shingles, this is important to note. If shingles were cracked because of a falling tree branch during a wind storm, or golf ball sized hail stones, then it helps to isolate which areas could be impacted.
If your shingles run into issues following each storm, it could be an indicator that it is time to have your roof replaced.
If you had a new roof installed within the past few years, this could be a sign of improper roof installation, or storm damage. It may only be a broken shingle causing leaks. A quality asphalt shingle roof should last 12 – 20 years on average. After 20 years, an asphalt shingle roof could begin wearing down and need replacement. Age plays a major factor in whether you may need a roof replacement or minor roof repair. It is difficult to repair a 20 year old shingle roof, where once repairs begin, more problems could arise.
If damage is isolated to only one area on your roof, then it may be a sign that only a minor roof repair is required and not a full replacement. But if a hail storm caused punctures to multiple shingles across your entire roof causing leaks throughout your entire home, you may need a roof replacement.
We tend to forget about our roofs until it starts leaking or we see a shingle in the flowerbed. It is important to monitor the health of your roof, particularly after any wind or hail storms because the longer roof repairs are pushed off, it can lead to more costly damage (water damage or mold), and full replacement instead of minor repairs.
The first step is you want to conduct your homework to do your due-diligence on the best local Delaware roofing company. After reviewing several options, you'll want to have your roof inspected to see if it is time for a roof replacement from old age, or if there is underlying storm damage and the severity of it. A quality Bellefonte roofing contractor will provide you with a detailed estimate with line by line break downs of all the details of what you need. You should know exactly what is wrong, and what you are getting. Lastly, you approve the terms of the estimate and sign a contractor to do the agreed upon scope.
You'll want to check out reviews of local Bellefonte roofing contractors before inviting anyone to your home. How is their rating with the BBB? Do they have positive reviews online on their Facebook, Google, Angie's List, etc.? You want to work with a professional roofer who takes pride in their work.
The Bellefonte roofing contractor that you invite to your home will then thoroughly inspect your roof for leak spots, and signs of storm damage. They should take any necessary measurements, or photographs and then discuss with you what they found. This will then be detailed into a roof replacement estimate for you to cover what exactly you need, and should provide multiple options, such as if you are interested in metal, asphalt shingles or slate.
If there was storm damage, this is where the contractor should discuss your options with you, such as filing a claim with your homeowner's insurance to cover your roof replacement, as many carriers will cover 'Acts of God'.
The estimate should detail what types of material will be used, timeline, dates, and if there is a deposit required or not.
During the roof replacement process, your contractor should be removing and disposing of the old roofing materials, checking roof decking and underlayment, installing new shingles. However, it doesn't stop there. The clean-up is equally as important, and your roofing contractor should be picking up all loose nails and debris at the completion of the job.
Getting a new roof doesn't have to be stressful. When you choose a trusted, highly-rated local roofing contractor, you can have peace of mind that you'll not only have one of the best looking roofs in your neighborhood, but also one at the best price!

Does it take long to replace a roof on a house?
Replacing a roof is a labor intensive project and depending upon the type, size and complexity of the roof it could take one day or a few days or more to complete. It also depends upon weather conditions. Bad weather always creates delays and hinders completion of the project.
Can you install roof shingles in winter?
Asphalt shingles can be installed properly in winter (late fall and winter) but only if some additional costly measures are taken. A specialized adhesive is needed to be manually applied to each shingle if the temperature is below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the minimum roof pitch for asphalt shingles?
The manufacturers say a 4/12 pitch is the minimum but the absolute minimum is 2/12. Pitch is measure in inches in vertical rise over one foot of horizontal run. So a 4/12 pitch roof rises 4 inches vertically for every 12 inches of horizontal run.
How long do asphalt shingles last?
Asphalt shingles can last up to 30 years. Wood shingles and shakes have a target lifetime of 30 years, but they can last much longer under moderate weather conditions.
What roof lasts the longest?
Material lifespan:
|Wood Shake
|14-20 years
|Asphalt Shingle
|10-30 years (20 is the norm)
|50+ years
|50+ years
|50+ years
|25+ years
|Built-Up (BUR)
|25-30 years
|30+ years
So the metal, steel, tile, concrete and slate roofs last the longest. Asphalt, built-ups and single ply are the next longest lasting roofing material.
Are metal roofs noisy?
This may surprise you but metal roofs, when installed with solid sheathing, are actually quieter than asphalt roofs. These metal roofs, when installed properly, can actually silence the noise from rain, hail and other bad weather better than those other roofing materials.
Do metal roofs attract lightening?
No. Metal roofs do not attract lightening and are not struck any more often than any other roofing materials. People's concern about metal roofs being hit by lightning strikes comes from the fact that metal can be an electrical conductor.
Bottom line, what is the cost to the homeowner?
If you have insurance and insurance is paying, then the homeowner's cost is their deductable and any upgrades. Call for a free quote and check your insurance policy to see the amount of your deductable to help you know the costs involved.
Does my roof have to be replaced or can it be repaired?
The common thought is that a leaking roof has to be replaced, but this is not necessarily the solution unless it is very old. Those missing, cracked, broken, or curling shingles are able to be repaired and replaced to stop a leak without replacing the whole roof, while older roofs or roofs with many leaks or other issues should be replaced.
What is the cost to repair my roof?
Repair costs vary and depend upon the pitch of the roof, the kind of shingles used, the condition of it, and how many different layers of shingles are on the roof. The only way to know what the price is to have someone come out to your house and provide you with a free quote.

Lincecum ready to face team that first drafted him
SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Lincecum is scheduled to start for the Giants against the Cleveland Indians on Saturday.
It could have been the other way around.
Eligible for the 2005 First-Year Player Draft after his sophomore season at the University of Washington because he already was 21, Lincecum was selected by the Indians in the 42nd round but declined to sign. The Giants drafted him in the first round in 2006, and the rest is history.
Lincecum listened to the Indians' proposals but felt fairly certain that he would stay in school, as he ultimately did. "I just felt like I didn't want to sell myself short of my junior year," Lincecum said Friday.
Lincecum admitted that he occasionally has pondered what might have been if he had signed with Cleveland. "It's because it's just the way I think," he said. "I'm an analytical person and sometimes I think a little more than I need to."
The Indians and Chicago White Sox are the only teams Lincecum has not faced in his Major League career.

Second revolting mystery growth found in V8 Fusion can
Just one month after a Texas woman claimed she got sick after drinking from an V8 can that contained a strange, foul looking growth, a second V8 customer has reported finding a similar mystery object.
Liz Brown from Raleigh, North Carolina, said she noticed it when she pulled a can of V8 Fusion from her pantry and saw a tiny leak in the can.
"I knew it was a new drip because there was nothing in the pantry," Brown said. "We popped open the lid to pour it down the sink then I said, 'wait a second this isn't normal.'"
When Brown cut the top off they saw something they could hardly believe.
"It looked like noodles or something, it was huge, the size of a chalk board eraser, the top was all that curly stuff, the under side was just this gelatinous mass of thick slimy stuff."
Campbell's soup, who makes V8 Fusion, said they have contacted Brown to collect the object for examination.
"We take all reports about our products very seriously. We are working to contact the consumer and obtain the object for examination purposes," Campbell's spokeswoman Megan Haney said via email.
The earlier report of such a find was Crystal Rodriguez from Mercedes, Texas. At the end of March, Rodriguez claimed she got a bacterial stomach infection after drinking from a can containing a growth she described only as something that looks like a piece of pork skin, "only nastier."
Campbell's said it tried to collect the item from her to examine it but have not been able to do so.
Liz Brown said she has kept her "item" in the freezer since finding it and confirmed that Campbell's is sending a pre-paid envelope for her to send it back in.

Ray Eames, Design Icon
Even the most philistine among us can't escape the art of industrial design. Industrial design affects the cars we drive, the phones we use, the chairs we sit in, and the keyboards we type on. In our latest research report, Valuing the Art of Industrial Design, we examine the field's cultural and economic impact. It's hot off the press, so check it out!
Since we had industrial design on the brain, we thought we'd get up close and personal with Ray Eames, who along with her husband Charles, formed one of the world's most accomplished industrial design duos. Among their vast portfolio is the "Eames chair," whose form was so innovative that it was awarded a U.S. design patent in 1948.
To commemorate what would have been Ray's 100th birthday, The California Museum in Sacramento is hosting Ray Eames: A Century of Modern Design, which will be on view through February 23, 2014. The exhibit focuses on the Sacramento native's career prior to meeting her husband, and celebrates the influence she had on women in the arts.
Although best-known for her design work with Charles, Ray's earliest artistic endeavors were rooted in fashion. "She started making paper dolls when she was about three years old," said Brenna Hamilton, the communications and marketing director for The California Museum. "They're spectacular. They're better than what most adults could do." By high school, she was illustrating outfits for friends, and later, she took to designing her own clothes as well.
"She designed all the clothes that she wore herself," said Hamilton, including her trademark pinafore. "She would design a whole line of clothing for herself for a trip or for a season, often on the back of an envelope or some scrap of paper." Many of her paper dolls, fashion illustrations, and items of clothing are featured in the exhibit.
It was painting however that Eames chose to pursue professionally, and she studied with the abstract expressionist painter Hans Hofmann for seven years in New York City. Her paintings, several of which are also on display in the exhibit, hint at what would one day emerge from the
Eames Office design firm. "If you look at all of the things she created from before she met Charles, through the chairs, there's a continuity in the design and in the aesthetic that clearly influences Eames Office in terms of shape, color, and composition," said Hamilton. "You can definitely see the visual relationship."
When Ray and Charles met in 1941, Charles was already beginning to experiment with creating molded plywood chairs. Together, the couple honed the design and developed a means of production, revolutionizing the way Americans thought about furniture in the process. In the 1940s, upholstered furniture was still considered the pinnacle of comfort and elegance. But as Hamilton noted, "Upholstery is expensive, it doesn't last long, and it needs to be cleaned. [The Eameses] were trying to do away with it…. They were trying to come up with a low-cost piece of furniture that was well designed." Not only was the
Eames Lounge Chair Wood (LCW) comfortable but it was beautiful to boot, and has since gone on to become an icon of modern design. Their Lounge Chair with Ottoman is equally well-known, and an example can be found in the collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).
Beyond furniture and architecture, the couple also funneled their creativity into toys, films, and even the design of museum exhibitions. Their House of Cards toy is still sold at the MoMA store, and their exhibit Mathematica: A World of Numbers…and Beyond remains on display at the New York Hall of Science.
Regardless of the medium however, Hamilton said that their creative interdependence remained a constant. "It is clear from the research that we did that they were true 50 percent collaborative partners," she said. "He was sort of the substance I think, whereas she would have been more the style. That made a great partnership—function and form."
It was also an unusual partnership, given the subordinate social status women held at the time. Perhaps more than anything she designed or painted, her role in the business of Eames Office is what marked Ray as a true trailblazer. "She broke barriers for women in the arts at a time when women were not necessarily taken seriously as businesspeople or as creative, collaborative partners," Hamilton said. "I don't think she thought of herself as breaking barriers and that was never what she set out to do…. But I do think that's her legacy."

The summer was seriously great. I really worried about having a Cherry Hill pass with a one month old and taking my other two kids by myself. But, it was just fine. London was kind of my babysitter for Madden. If he disappeared, she had to go find them. Luckily the baby was fine, although she did not like nursing under a cover in the hot sun...neither did I.
Family vacation was wonderful, as always. Monica and I shared a room since we were both nursing. Funny thing about that was that in the middle of the night we would be feeding our babies at the same time. It seemed like they just always had the same schedule.
They even napped the same time with Mandy's baby on our hikes!
One thing Mom and Dad did is give all the kids "Warrior" shirts and taught them about Nephi.
On the front of the shirts it says, "When the goings get tough. (Then on the back) the tough get going".
So whenever we were hiking at the kids got tired, they just said over and over, "The TOUGH GET GOING!"
We started the vacation by going to the lake first thing and letting the kids swim on the beach.
The days are just so short when you're having a good time.
We did all of our favorite hikes, went canoeing,
went and got ice cream, and just had lots of fun!
As always, I had a baby at my feet in the canoe. She was perfect.
Dean also taught Mom and some of kids how to fly fish.
London became obsessed. I did try to get pictures of the other families but, for some reason my new camera takes a year to upload photos.
Of course, we have a ritual on the Sunday that we're there, we have family pictures. Mom, Dad, Madeline, and Olivia.
Dean and Mary's Family
Danny and Emily's Family
Mandy and Trent's Family
For some reason Monica and Brad didn't get on my camera.
Sorry Monica, but this is what I have of you! Oh and of course, little Russell:)
I think what I love most about McCall, was that every morning Madeline, or Monica and I would go running. It was a time to talk to family, it was time away from work, away from the gym, and it's always a time for memories.
Before I forget, a little update on Madden. Madden has become really quite funny. He is colorblind and we deal with color issues on a daily basis. he asked me if I knew that his paint set had six blacks. It was actually dark purple, dark blue, dark green, black, brown, etc. Other things that he asks about is how old everyone is and things about Jesus and Satan. For example, Madden asks me how many brothers I have, I'll say two. Then he says, "No, you have three. you forgot about your big brother Jesus."
Another time I was cutting his toenails and he started screaming, "Oh big brother, Jesus! Where are you! Please help me, Jesus!" I started laughing because he sounded like he needed to be in a Baptist church. I asked him why he would talk like that. His only response is that his primary teacher told him to pray if he ever needed help.
Madden also got the flu and asked why would Jesus make him throw up. I said that he didn't. Madden then asked if Satan made him throw up.
The kid is pretty funny. Daily I'm annoyed with him but, at the same time laughing hysterically. Stayed tuned for another update!

The confounding abundance of 'solution'-oriented research from social and political sciences make it hard to distinguish any validity in contemporary radical thought about the coming community. An important caesura between the flood of work and the particularities of critical thinking lies in an essential claim that the hypothesis of society-to-come is as of yet dispersed and invisible. To turn to the 'Left' (anti-capitalist, alter-globalist thinkers), then, becomes the more acute act of tracing a signification of the widely-shared ideal that aspires to equalitarian society. Here are my thoughts on communism. (more…)

Can Honey Really Kill MRSA?
As antibiotic resistance becomes an increasing issue, researchers are busy investigating natural alternatives to fight deadly infections. Researchers in Liverpool for example, investigated the effects of using honey as an antibacterial agent for post-operative wound care in the fight against MRSA. Patients that had honey applied to their wounds had 36% fewer incidences of infection, and spent around 25% less time in the hospital compared to those who were not administered honey.
Lead researcher, Dr. Val Robson, explained that honey has antibacterial properties because of its high sugar content, presence of hydrogen peroxide, and low water content. Robson has since dubbed the honey utilized in this study "Medihoney."

The Abbott government came up with its pledge to create 1 million jobs in five years solely on the employment growth rate achieved under the former Howard government, a Coalition insider says.
In comments that cast further doubt on the achievability of the pledge made before the September election, the source has told Fairfax Media that no modelling or detailed calculations were done to reach the figure of 1 million jobs.
Rather, then-opposition leader Tony Abbott's office took the employment growth rate of about 2.2 per cent year-on-year under the Howard government and used it to extrapolate its own job-creation target.
''Abbott's office assumed they could achieve the same outcome,'' the source said. ''There was no detailed modelling or serious work done to justify the 1 million job target. They looked at the Howard record and said, 'We can match it'.''
The source said questions had been raised within the then opposition as to whether the pledge was a realistic one to make. ''They did not have the same reform package as the Howard government,'' the insider said.
Mr Abbott repeatedly said in the run-up to the election that a Coalition government would create 1 million jobs in its first five years and 2 million in a decade.
Treasury forecast in last month's mini-budget that employment would grow three-quarters of 1 per cent this financial year and 1.5 per cent in each of the next three years. A Parliamentary Library analysis commissioned by Labor found last week that this was likely to leave the Coalition at least 200,000 jobs short of its five-year pledge.
That view was broadly backed by a range of economists who said it would be very difficult for the Coalition to create 1 million jobs in five years, with the mining boom ending and with plans to make deep cuts to the federal budget.
Finance Minister Mathias Cormann declined to give details as to how the 1 million jobs figure was calculated, including the assumed employment growth rate and the unemployment rate over the next five years. He also declined to comment on the Liberal insider's account of the process.
''These commitments were all extensively canvassed during the recent election campaign; we stand by them and will be judged on our performance against those commitments at the next election - as the previous government was,'' he said.
Senator Cormann said the Coalition would improve Australia's competitiveness by scrapping the carbon tax and mining taxes, cutting red tape costs for business by $1 billion a year, reducing company tax by 1.5 per cent and investing in infrastructure.
''Lower taxes and less red tape will lead to increased investment, stronger growth and more jobs,'' he said.
Shadow treasurer Chris Bowen said the insider's comments showed the pledge was ''nothing more than guesswork''.
''Tony Abbott promised 1 million jobs in the next five years and all the evidence is that he will fall well short of this solemn pledge,'' Mr Bowen said.
He said the government had already sent the wrong signals on agribusiness, small-business tax concessions and car manufacturing.

This will cover picks 17 through 30. I have to leave after the Blazers pick. I will have a writeup out tomorrow analyzing the Knicks draft and the rest of the NBA draft.
Trade Rumor: The Rockets and Wolves have agreed to trade J Flynn and Montiejunas to Houston for Brad Miller, 23rd pick and future 1sst, source says
Update #5 – The Blazers selects Nolan Smith from Duke. Kind of surprising but he gives the Blazers another scorer off the bench.
Update #4 – The Timberwolves select Donatas Motiejunas from Lithuania – David Kahn is trying to load up on 5 PF's and 5 PG's to make his team up.
Update #3 – The Charlotte Bobcats select Tobias Harris for the Milwaukee Bucks. Pretty good pick though I had him going a little later. I would have taken Jordan Hamilton.
Update #2: The Washington Wizards select Chris Singleton with their second pick. They got much better in this draft.
Trade Rumor #2: The Pacers will also send the 42nd pick in this draft to the Spurs as part of the package to get George Hill, source says.
Update #1: Your New York Knicks select Iman Shumpert, the dual PG/SG from Georgia Tech. I love this pick as it will give us defense and versatility off the bench.

After the 16th pick, I am going to make a new post

Update #16 (9:0 PM) Philadelphia selects Nikola Vucevic – I hate you Philadelphia. My favorite Knicks target is gone. New thread boys.
Update #15 (9:00 PM) Indiana selects Kawhi Leonard – My #1 Knicks target at this point is gone. What a steal for the Pacers.

Glenn Oviatt, Intern
Students at North Central College in Naperville are meeting the challenge to serve refugee youth as part of the school's service learning program.
In 2008, the school developed a partnership with World Relief Aurora, allowing students to tutor refugee children at Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) and Jefferson Middle School in Naperville.
Coordinated by North Central's Department of Ministry and Service, the service learning program connects real-world experience with class work. Students from a spectrum of majors devote several hours each week toward service and reflect on their experiences through required essays.
"It's very experiential learning," said Casey Graham, a 2010 graduate who tutored at Jefferson Middle School and now serves as the Youth Services Club Coordinator at World Relief Aurora. "Specifically for people who major in education, this is an invaluable experience because they are really able to work with different levels of English-speaking and academic-performing students."
Dr. Louis Corsino, professor of sociology and Chairperson of the Division of Human Thought and Behavior at North Central, teaches a sociology capstone course that integrates service learning with the curriculum.
"Once students have the opportunity to go to these settings consistently, they come back to the classroom and we talk about their experiences," Corsino said.
In addition to classroom discussions, Corsino asks students to write two reflective essays that blend their experience as a volunteer with knowledge gained from the coursework. Corsino said the world of refugees becomes much clearer for students when they are faced with the reality of teaching children who are still learning English while adjusting to American culture.
"They come away with a much deeper appreciation for the struggles that some of these children have and the issues and problems that refugees face," Corsino said.
Graham said a consistent tutor can foster an important mentor-like relationship with a child as they adjust to the language, culture and schooling in the United States. Refugee children typically do not receive enough one-on-one attention in the classroom, but with the guidance of a tutor, the children can improve their reading, writing and speaking.
Lauren Gilchrest, a junior studying English and Secondary Education, tutored refugee children who came to IMSA last fall. There, she worked with students who had trouble completing their homework because they did not know how to read English. Gilchrest remembered a particular time when she read a book with a refugee teen from Thailand.
"He didn't understand the words, so I took a pencil and piece of paper and started drawing pictures and using gestures to explain," Gilchrest said. The teen soon caught on and together they worked through the story word-by-word.
By engaging the lives of children, Graham became aware of how difficult the refugee experience is and developed a "swelling affection" for people of other cultures. During her senior year, Graham acted as interim Service Learning Coordinator, a position that allowed her to connect more North Central classrooms with refugee students.
After graduation, her affection for the refugee students ultimately led Graham to work with World Relief.
Now as the Youth Services Club Coordinator, Graham hopes to partner with other local colleges to assist the intellectual growth of their students while serving the needs of refugee youth.
Service learning can be tailored to any major. "There's ways in which even a business major can benefit from working with refugee students," Graham said. Financial literacy is a large need and education on banking, saving, taxes, investment and starting a small business can help to fulfil the gap.
Graham said service learning is a great opportunity for students to expand their education beyond the four walls of a classroom. Due to the experiential aspect, Graham remembered her service learning coursework more than other classes she took during college.
"It was difficult–there's definitely a stretching component to service learning," Graham said. "But [working with refugee children] was more impacting than looking at a book or reading an article."
"For me, it was something that encouraged me to pursue a greater relationship with World Relief."

I didn't realize until I returned home that the two gondoliers were talking to each other as they paddled their clients down the Grand Canal. I also thought the approaching boats added to the story of what goes on continuously in Venice.

Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon
Keith took the time to do a question and answer session about his 2012 High Jump Olympic Trials.
What were the Olympic Trials like this year?
It was not very warm in Oregon, with the temperature being in the mid-50's. It seemed to rain most of the time we were there unfortunately. I really enjoyed myself despite it being so gloomy, but my body didn't really react the way I wanted it to. I'm my own biggest critic, and in retrospect, I don't feel that I was as prepared as I should have been. I think that may just be disappointment. I've worked so hard for so long and it's just disappointing. My training started really well this year, but I had a setback when I sustained a knee injury while participating in my first outdoor meet. That set me back a lot. I had to take off a month right before the trials started and that didn't help my conditioning. Continue reading "Keith Moffatt- Olympic Trials"

This Spotlight aims to provide a general introduction to linear and nonlinear optical components that are frequently used to implement the protocols for quantum computation and communication. The role of each optical element is described briefly, and it is shown that these optical elements can be combined to constitute quantum circuits for performing various quantum computing and communication tasks. Present challenges and future scopes are also mentioned briefly. Specifically, after introducing the qubit, it is stated that a quantum gate is a device that transforms a quantum state into another quantum state. Thus, most of the optical components (e.g., a beamsplitter, a wave plate, a mirror, a polarizing beamsplitter) can be viewed as quantum gates because each of these optical elements can transform a quantum state into another quantum state. This fact is the basis for constructing useful quantum circuits using optical elements. Finally, a few proposals for optical realizations of schemes for quantum communication and computation are described.
When we accepted the invitation of Dr. Robert D. Fiete, Editor of the Spotlight series, we did not realize how challenging it would be. As it was supposed to be 20 to 40 pages long, we thought it would not take much time. Later, when we started organizing all of the materials, we recognized that it is not that simple to describe the vast area of optical quantum computation and communication within that page limit. Naturally, we could not cover all of the important aspects that we initially thought to cover, but we still think that readers will find this Spotlight very useful in understanding both theoretical and experimental optical quantum information. Further, this Spotlight covers the interdisciplinary subject of optical quantum information, and it is expected to be of use for communication engineers, physicists, and computer scientists.
To bring this Spotlight to its present shape, we have benefited from the support and feedback of many colleagues and students. Specifically, Prof. Pathak wishes to gratefully thank his colleagues Dr. Karel Lemr, Dr. Antonín Ĉernoch, and Prof. Jan Soubusta from the Joint Laboratory of Optics, Olomouc, Czech Republic, for carefully reading the manuscript and providing their feedback, suggestions, and also a few very nice photographs of real experimental setups used in their lab. He also wishes to thank Prof. Marco Genovese, INRIM, Turin, Italy, for his comments and permission to use a few photos of their experiment. Prof. Pathak also thanks Prof. Ajoy Ghatak, Prof. Debabrata Goswami, Dr. R. Srikanth, and Dr. Chitra Shukla for their feedback and comments on this paper. Finally, a big thank you is due to Mr. Kishore Thapliyal, who has helped us in more than one way to prepare this book. He checked proofs, he prepared high-resolution figures, and most importantly he often criticized what we wrote, which helped us to improve the text. This Spotlight was written at the Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (JIIT), Noida, and Bose Institute, Kolkata. During the writing process we used the infrastructural facilities of these institutes and the resources occupied through several DST, India, funded projects. So, we thank JIIT, Bose Institute, and DST, India. Further, we gratefully acknowledge the support of our family members and students received during this project.

@ Myers Park Baptist Church
For March we plan to forego our normal meeting for a chance to really promote and drive attendence to three wonderful days at Myers Park Baptist Church with Dr. David Ordd, Professor of Environmental Studies and Politics at Oberlin College. Here's the rundown:
- Friday March 13, 7:00 PM: The Eleventh Hour film and discussion
- Saturday March 14, 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM: "The Environmental and Politics in a Time of Hope" public lecture
- Sunday March 15, 9:45 AM – 10:45 AM: "The Hour Before Dawn: Challenges, Courage, Faith and Hope" public lecture
All three of these terrific events are free and open to the public. Please call Rick Goodin at 704.334.7232 (Ext. 15) for more information.
@ James Martin Middle School
When: Saturday March 21st, 9:00 – 12:00 PM (First day of spring!)
Mark your calendars now! We have an exciting opportunity for volunteers to get involved in the local community while celebrating the first day of spring outside! Come help James Martin Middle School (IBM Drive, near intersection of Harris Blvd and I-85) plant an outdoor learning environment.
About the event: On March 21st, 100+ eager students, teachers, parents and other volunteers will be gathering to turn what is now a drab, sparse entry way into what we hope to be an inspiring garden that provides opportunities for positive outdoor learning experiences for the students. We'll be there to help them get started, but this project will also serve as an ongoing community service project for the students, allowing them to take pride in their campus and create opportunities to teach important life lessons. Let's help them kick on the project!
What we need: Volunteers will help students plan, prepare and create the garden. We are working to have one or two Mecklenburg County Master Gardeners on hand, so NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY (and you may even learn something for free)! We'll also need help with refreshments, set-up, and clean-up. If gardening is your passion and you would like to help lead, teach something, or have a suggestion around the structure of the event, please let us know. Also, please let us know if you'll be able to bring garden tools (shovels, trowels, hoes, rakes, etc) or able to donate refreshments.
Please email Liz Barrett at firstname.lastname@example.com if you are interested, have questions or want to sign up to volunteer for the event.

I guess it's safe to say that a lot of January resolutions towards a healthy lifestyle will have been made this year, but my health kick actually began sometime last year. I was fed up of feeling so tired and unhealthy a lot of the time. One of the first things I did was to kick fizzy drinks. I did start drinking more juices and water instead, although I did stop the juices too after realising how much sugar some supermarket ones seem to have. But to be honest water all the time can be boring! So I was really glad I got the chance to try making my own healthy juices using the Phillips Juicer and recipes from the body coach, aka Joe Wicks!
I feel like I've been living under a rock as I hadn't heard of the Body Coach before, yet he was hundreds and thousands of followers on every platform! I'll admit that I don't know much about fitness but his approaches to healthy living, an alternative to dieting, actually sound very interesting!
P.S. I apologise for the terrible pictures, I couldn't get any lighting in my kitchen and I didn't think it was a good idea to use the juicer in my bedroom!
First and foremost, the juicer I was sent is the Philips Viva Collection Juicer*. The sleek and functional design of this juicer is miles away from the huge, chunky juicer I remember from my childhood. Not only does it look very aesthetic but they've clearly thought about everything. It has a large feeding tube so you can just go in and pop whole apples and other fruit/vegetables in. The whole pulping process is also built in so there's no bits. You can juice a lot in one go, approximately 2 litres so it's great if you need to squeeze it into a busy lifestyle. They also include a little jug that collects all the juice, but you can also use a glass. Finally, the one thing that used to put me off juicing most often was the cleaning but not anymore! With QuickClean technology the componants are designed to be rinsed in one minute, plus with QuickRinse you can pour water through the juicer (simply by switching it on as normal) and it cleans any residue. Although, I did find doing this make the pulp more sludgy when it came to cleaning it out.
The Body Coach has also created recipes for everyday of the week:
- For Monday we have the Feel Fresh Juice: 2 apples, 2 celery sticks, 1 lemon and 1/2 a cucumber.
- Thursday's Mr Leanie: 2 carrots, 2 apples and a handful each of coriander and kale.
However, I wanted to share my own which I aptly named Sweet Punch: 2 apples, 1 Clementine and 8 strawberries. I got the most juice from the apples, not so much from the Clementine but the Strawberries added a wonderful bit of colour and sweetness. This was enough to fill a large glass, and the juicer did a great job at taking off the apple skins and any seeds. Even though it does look frothy there were no bits at all!
When it came to washing it there was a lot of pulp! I think that the idea of wastage can discourage a lot of people off juicing, it can also seem to be quite expensive but I would suggest that instead of going to the supermarkets you can sometimes get really fresh and yummy fruit from local grocers or fruit venders which also works out much cheaper!
So I'm no expert when it comes to fitness but I do try to implement some small exercises, like walking a bit everyday. One of the most down to earth things I've ever heard is 'why do people pay so much for a gym pass when they get the lift to the 1st/2nd floor!'. You don't need to spend a lot to be active! Even walking to the shops counts. I try to go on the treadmill once a week for half an hour (I'll admit that I do find it so hard to fit in when you're working all week), and then I like to go in with a few youtube fitness videos. My favourites are this 10 minute workout by the Lean Machines and some in this series by XHIT Daily. The best things about these workouts is that you can do them from the privacy of your bedroom and you don't need anything other than youtube.
Overall, I'm really enjoying using this juicer as part of the #RealJuiceReboot as sometimes cooking from scratch isn't possible and with it being Winter I'm also aware that I might not be eating all the nutrients my body needs, but this juicer is helping me on my way because you can really juice anything like spinach, rather than just fruit.

Roswell native shoots 'worst free throw in history' | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. -- Fame is fickle, especially in politics or sports. Think Marco Rubio's water bottle from last week.
However, this week it's a fingernail.
Now, here is another offering of how you can get real famous, real quick, in real time -- the key is by keeping it real.
Shanteona Keys is from Roswell and attends Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville. She is the best player on her basketball team and the most accomplished off the court -- a 4.0 student and the leading scorer, averaging 16 points per game.
But this week, Shanteona went viral. She missed a free throw that one website described as the "worst in basketball history."
As she was attempting the shot, her fingernail caught her nostril and the ball went only a few feet high.
Shanteona has a wonderful sense of humor about her basketball moment. She explains with grace and laughter.
Watch the video to see the shot seen 'round the world.

A thousand years ago this land was green, until the Bucket cracked. A single piece was lost, a shard of the Bucket. Then strife began, and people began charging for bits and single models. Here in the castle of the Bucket, Santa Cruz Warhammer took control. Now the bits flow freely once more. Now the Bucket hangs above a shaft of air and fire. Once more gamers gather at the Bucket. Once more they replenish their bits bins. The Bucket...
srbuman at gmail dot com is on the hunt for the following:
- 40K Ork Nob Bodies (metal or plastic, any)
- 40K Ork Ork nob weapons (metal or plastic, any)
- 40K Ork Mega Nobz, minimum x2
- Onebox of 40k 2nd edition rules and tokens (contact for a complete listing)
- Lots and lots of bits (just ask)
imamsawez at gmail dot com is looking for the following:
- Chaos Space marines. Contact me with what you have, but what I most want are unpainted/unassembled bodies
- Nurgle/Death Guard. Again, contact, unpainted/unassembled
- 15mm Sci Fi. Let me know what you have
In return, they have to trade:
- Dark Eldar scourges, no wings, and Kaballite warriors. I also have Scourge bits - legs and torso
- Metal chaos raptors - both new and OOP
- Space Wolf and Necron bits - tons of these
The Bucket has one purpose, gamers helping other gamers. It's a place to trade the stuff you have laying around, the stuff you're not using and get the stuff you do need. No more buying whole sets for just one model, no more buying overpriced single bits. This concept is kept alive by the cooperative spirit of all of us.
Make sure your email gets to me by Thursday for it to post that week, emails go to miksminis at gmail dot com. Please keep them simple and concise with details, and limit your requests for needs and haves to three items each. This will turn a shotgun effect of a huge list crossing your fingers hoping for a bite to a more streamlined surgical bits hunt. It will also keep the Bucket itself compact and efficient.
Remember, change comes from within...your bits box!

Tuscaloosa, Ala. – The University of Alabama announced the signing of junior college offensive lineman Leon Brown to a national letter of intent on Wednesday to play football for the Crimson Tide beginning in the 2013 season.
Brown is from Riverdale, Md., but has played the last two years at ASA College in New York City. He was a second-team All-Northeast Football Conference selection in 2012 at tackle. He is a four-star prospect by 247sports.com, ESPNU and Scout.com. Brown is listed as the No. 2 junior college offensive tackle and No. 8 JC prospect nationally by Scout.com.
He will enroll at Alabama in January and participate in the offseason conditioning and spring practice for the Crimson Tide in 2013. Brown provides immediate depth to an offensive line that loses two seniors who will have combined for 90 career starts.
He played for Parkdale High School in Riverdale where he as a first-team All-County selection in 2010. Brown chose the Crimson Tide over Oklahoma, Mississippi, Rutgers and Tennessee.

Jugglers were just part of the festivities at Sloane Aviation's triple celebration on June 6. The company, which is based in Northamptonshire, U.K., marked its 40th anniversary, the 20th anniversary of its Sywell Aerodrome headquarters, and the completion of a new building extension. The extension houses a new flying school, a flight training simulator and a new stores department.
"Forty years is a very long time," said Sloane Managing Director Jeremy Awenat. But despite its long history, the company has its eyes firmly on the future. "We are in the process of putting together our next five-year plan when we hope to be on the other side of the current global economic climate," he said.
Sloane Helicopters was founded by David George in 1969, and had just one Agusta Bell 47J. Five years later, Sloane was appointed U.K. distributor for Hughes Helicopters. In 1976, the company became sole U.K. distributor for Robinson Helicopters. After 19 years, Sloane was made sole U.K. and Ireland distributor for Agusta helicopters. Throughout its 40 year run, Sloane has remained owned by David George.
"Sloane's success has been made possible through the continuous support from our customers, vendors, suppliers and, most importantly, our employees — both past and present," said George during the triple celebration.
