Built on the delta of the Yoshino-gawa – Shikoku's longest river – and bisected by the Shinmachi-gawa, TOKUSHIMA (徳島), the capital of Tokushima-ken, is known across Japan for its fantastic summer dance festival, the Awa Odori, which is attended every year by over one million people (see The dancing fools). If you're not among them then don't worry, as Tokushima does its best to provide a flavour of the Awa Odori experience year-round at the Awa Odori Kaikan, at the foot of Mount Bizan, a parkland area providing sweeping views of the city.
Home to the first temple of the Shikoku pilgrimage, Tokushima has a long history of welcoming visitors and you'll find it a noticeably friendly and relaxed place, as well as a good base to explore the rest of the prefecture. North of the city are the whirlpools of Naruto, while heading south there's the pretty coastal village of Hiwasa, where turtles lay their eggs on the beach each summer, popular surf beaches, and, across the border in Kōchi-ken, the jagged cape at Muroto. Inland, the best place to head is the spectacular Iya Valley, including the river gorge at Ōboke.Read More
Awa Odori Kaikan
Awa Odori Kaikan
At the base of the 280m-high Mount Bizan (眉山), is the Awa Odori Kaikan (阿波踊り会館). The complex houses a good gift shop on the ground floor, a ropeway on the fifth floor that goes to the top of Mount Bizan, a museum on the third floor, and the Awa Odori Hall where there are at least four live performances daily of the city's famous dance, including one slightly more expensive evening performance from 8pm ; audience participation is encouraged at all performances, so don't be surprised if you end up on stage.
Hiwasa and around
Hiwasa and around
Picturesque HIWASA (日和佐), 55km south of Tokushima, is worth pausing at for its intriguing temple, quaint harbour and pretty beach. Yakuō-ji (薬王寺), the 23rd temple on the Shikoku pilgrimage, is on the hillside as you pull into the train station; the temple's base is surrounded by hotels and gift shops catering to the hordes of pilgrims who regularly pass through. Climbing the steps to the main temple, you can't fail to notice lots of ¥1 coins on the ground: some pilgrims place a coin on each step for luck as they head up. At the top of the steps is the main temple area, whose buildings date from 815 AD and where there's a striking statue of a goddess carrying a basket of fish and flanked by lotus blooms. Off to the right is a more recently built single-storey pagoda. There's a good view of Hiwasa's harbour from the platform, but the highlight here is to descend into the pagoda's darkened basement, where for ¥100 you can fumble your way around a pitch-black circular corridor to a central gallery containing Brueghel-like painted depictions of all the tortures of hell. In a second gallery is a long scroll showing the steady decay of a beautiful, but dead, young woman.
About 1km south of the harbour, the reconstructed castle Hiwasa-jō (日和佐城) is only worth visiting for its impressive view of the town. The better option is to head directly to Ōhama beach, north of the harbour, where turtles lay their eggs between May and August. During this time, the beach is roped off and spectators must watch the action from a distance. For a closer look at the turtles, make your way to the Sea Turtle Museum at Umigame Hakubutsukan Karetta (うみがめ博物館カレッタ), beside the beach. The displays are mainly in Japanese, but are very visual, with step-by-step photos of turtles laying eggs; you can also see some turtles swimming in indoor and outdoor pools.
The popular surfing spot of KAIFU (海部), 26km south of Hiwasa, is where the JR train line ends and is replaced with the private Asa Kaigan railway. You'll nearly always have to change trains here to continue toward the southern cape (simply cross over to the opposite platform). Even if you don't, you'll have to pay ¥270 extra to travel the remaining two stops – the first is SHISHIKUI (宍喰), Tokushima's top surf beach, where there's a good range of accommodation including the reasonable Kokuminshukusha Mitoko-sō (国民宿舎みとこ荘). The end of the line is KANNOURA (甲浦), a sleepy village with a pleasant stretch of gravelly sand framed with rocky outcrops.
Inland to the Oboke Gorge
Inland to the Oboke Gorge
From Awa Ikeda the road and railway enter the spectacular Ōboke Gorge (大歩危), cut through by the sparkling Yoshino-gawa. The vertiginous mountains here and in the adjacent Iya Valley can be coated in snow during the winter, while less than one hour south, the palms of Kōchi sway in the sunshine. This remoteness from the rest of the island made the gorge an ideal bolt-hole for the Taira clan after their defeat at Yashima in 1185. Here the warriors traded their swords for farm implements and built distinctive thatched-roof cottages on the mountainsides. Few of these remain in their original form, their thatched roofs now covered in rusty tin and their wooden walls in plastic sheeting, but one that does is Chiiori (ちいおり), a 300-year-old house in the village of Tsurui (釣井). This delightfully rustic building is the base for The Chiiori Project (whttp://www.chiiori.org), which fosters community-based tourism in the Iya Valley and has established a small organic farm. Regular volunteer weekends and workshops on traditional crafts are hosted here, and it's also possible to stay overnight (Fri–Mon), a communal experience where guests and staff cook, eat and wash up together, and everyone shares a dorm. The suggested rates are ¥7000 for the first night and ¥4000 per subsequent night; rates may be reduced if you're involved in one of their volunteer projects.
Even more picturesque are the Oku Iya Kazura-bashi (奥祖谷かずら橋), a pair of vine bridges also known as the "Fufu-bashi" (husband and wife bridges), some 30km further into the Iya Valley from Nishi Iya and en route to Tsurugi-san (剣山) – at 1955m, Shikoku's second-highest mountain. A four-hour round-trip climb starts at Minokoshi (見ノ越), from where there's a ropeway part of the way up the mountain, if you want to save time and effort.
With thrilling rapids and spectacular rocky scenery, a boat trip down the Yoshino-gawa is the best way to view the Ōboke Gorge. Also check out the whitewater rafting trips on offer.
The dancing fools
The dancing fools
Every year in mid-August many Japanese return to their family homes for Obon (Festival of the Dead), which is as much a celebration as a remembrance of the deceased. Towns all over the country hold bon dances, but none can compare to Tokushima's Awa Odori – the "Great Dance of Awa" – a four-day festival that runs every year from August 12 to 15. Over a million spectators come to watch the eighty thousand participants, dressed in colourful yukata (summer kimono) and half-moon-shaped straw hats, who parade through the city, waving their hands and shuffling their feet to an insistent two-beat rhythm, played on taiko drums, flutes and shamisen (traditional stringed instruments). With plenty of street parties and sideshows, this is as close as Japan gets to Rio's Mardi Gras, and there's plenty of fun to be had mingling with the dancers, who famously chant, "The dancing fool and the watching fool are equally foolish. So why not dance?"
If you plan to attend the festival, book accommodation well in advance or arrange to stay in one of the nearby towns and travel in for the dances, which start at 6pm and finish at 10.30pm (street parties continue well into the night). To take part as a dancer, contact the Tokushima International Association, which organizes a dance group on one of the festival nights.
The 88-temple pilgrimage first reaches Shikoku at NARUTO (鳴門), around 13km north of Tokushima. However, the town is more famous for the whirlpools that form as the tides change and water is forced through the narrow straits between Shikoku and Awaji-shima. This is one of Tokushima's most heavily hyped attractions, but it's not a consistently reliable phenomenon. The whirlpools are at their most dramatic on days of the full and new moon; to avoid a wasted journey, check first on the tidal schedule with tourist information in Tokushima. To see the whirlpools up close you can either hop on one of the tourist cruise boats, or traverse the Uzu-no-Michi (渦の道), a walkway under Naruto-Ōhashi bridge, which puts you 45m directly above the maelstrom. The cheaper alternative is a bird's-eye view from Naruto-kōen, the park on Oge Island, just to the north of Naruto town.

"I used these to provide information about how to get to the venue and the function the next day. There was a lot of text which needed to be fitted in and the team was great!"
"Soft yet vibrant detail. Very high paper quality and pristine print. They are perfect and go with the décor for our entire day."
"Please be advised that although this product appears scalloped and my sample came as a printed scalloped design on rectangular paper, the design is not. It took multiple chats with WeddingPaperDivas customer service to fully understand that it can be rectangular. Other than that confusion this is a beautiful invitation and I am very happy with it!"
"This whole suite is just lovely. The color I chose was "Gilded" with white text and then the inverse. They felt vintage and modern at the same time. My designer Kelly was absolutely fantastic. She turned around all of my edits quicker than I could have imagined! I was also able to rest assured knowing that she checked everything for proper grammar and etiquette. It was great to have an expert as another pair of eyes!"
"I really wanted a two sided direction card because I needed directions to church and then from church to the reception venue. Because my design is pretty minimal they had no problem doing that and at no extra charge. I also got this in purple with the shimmer. Great size too!"

The London Summer Olympics are over, and they were among my all-time favorites: two wild weeks of great victories, sad moments, bizarre scandals and hilarious social media phenomena.
There are tons of people I'll remember from these Games - but first, I have to write about the man who's made the Olympics be more than just great television to me over the past 12 years.
When Michael Phelps swam in his first Olympics in Sydney in 2000, I was a sophomore at Calvin. I proudly pointed out the 15-year-old to my floormates as we watched him on TV and mentioned we attended the same high school (although not at the same time). He was the youngest male swimmer to make the Olympic team in 68 years, and the announcers couldn't believe it. They were probably even more surprised when he finished fifth in his only event.
Four years later, I was working at my first job in Oneonta when the Athens Olympics rolled around. I wrote a column for The Daily Star explaining why everyone should pay attention to this guy, and I planned my summer vacation that year around the Games so I could be home in Baltimore to watch them with my family. We were not disappointed: Six gold medals and two bronze — and a new star was on the map!
Four years later, I was finishing up grad school in Chicago, enjoying watching the excitement of the students from China who lived in my apartment building as their country hosted the Olympics for the first time. Phelps was aiming for a record-breaking eight gold medals in eight events. And, of course, he did it - and with plenty of drama. (Even people who knew nothing about swimming were amazed by the American men's 4×100 relay team fighting back to beat France, and the one-one-hundredth of a second win over Serbia's Milorad Cavic in the 100m butterfly.) I wrote another column for The Daily Star, marveling at how "Phelps Phrenzy" had spread worldwide. (And I even went to the "Phelpstival" parade in Towson and dressed up as him for Halloween.)
Four years later, I'm in D.C., closer to where it all began, in yet another chapter in my life, even more appreciative of the mental pressure Olympic athletes go through thanks to my "Jeopardy!" experience — and Phelps says he's retiring. (And I mentioned him during my "Hometown Howdy" for "Jeopardy!")
These Games weren't quite as successful for Phelps if you go just by the number of events (seven) and medals (six, including two surprise silvers to complete his collection). But, when you add up all the medals (22!!!! And 18 gold!!!) and if you consider what he's done for his sport, for the Olympics, for the U.S., for Baltimore and Towson, for fellow middle-class public school kids like me, then these Games, and his three previous ones, were more than successful.
I think it's virtually impossible to compare Olympians and say Phelps is the greatest of all time — after all, he's had many more opportunities to win medals than athletes in team sports (like, say, Lisa Leslie, who also competed in four Olympics and won gold each time with the U.S. women's basketball team). But he's set a benchmark that will be very, very difficult to surpass.
Four years from now, I'll be watching the Rio Olympics from somewhere, with someone else, and it will be very strange not to see Michael swimming (yes, I do think he's serious about retirement). We'll all find other athletes to cheer for, but I will still miss him terribly.
And now, my other favorite moments from London: the wacky, the awesome and the unforgettable. (All athletes are American unless otherwise noted.)
- The Arctic Monkeys singing "Come Together" in the opening ceremonies.
- Matt Grevers (fellow Northwestern Wildcat!) winning gold in the men's 100m backstroke.
- Kayla Harrison winning the U.S.' first gold medal in judo after overcoming a horrific experience in her sport.
- Dutch gymnast Epke Zonderland winning gold on high bar with an astounding routine.
- Russian high jumper Ivan Ukhov losing his shirt and still winning gold.
- Sprinter Kirani James of Grenada trading bibs with South African Oscar Pistorius, the first double amputee to compete in the Olympics, after their semifinal.
- U.S. women beating the men in the medal count and every country represented having at least one female athlete.
- Diver David Boudia winning gold in the 10m platform event, the first for the U.S. since Greg Louganis in 1988. (Boudia, a Christian, has a great testimony involving his coach, too.)
Swimmer Anthony Ervin making a comeback 12 years after his last Olympics in Sydney, where he won gold, and finishing fifth in the 50m freestyle. (This Rolling Stone article is an interesting account of what he did during that time and his spiritual journey.)
- Sprinter Bryshon Nellum coming back from being shot three times in the legs to win silver in the 4×400-meter relay.
- U.K. tennis player Andy Murray winning gold at Wimbledon.
- Spice Girls reunion, Russell Brand singing "I Am the Walrus," and Eric Idle during the closing ceremony.
- The little Mini Coopers that carried javelins, etc.
- Watching the royal family go crazy.
- Team GB's uniforms. Even though the design by Stella McCartney was controversial, I liked it and appreciated that it was consistent across all sports. I hope someone can get the U.S. to do the same thing for Rio — it was a little disconcerting to have U.S. BMX racers and divers look like they were competing for totally different countries!
Speaking of Rio, I sure hope to see new Houston Rocket Jeremy Lin on Team USA. Here's to 2016!

Save the Date
To the Shore Save the Date Magnets Everything is ALMOST perfect about the save the date. However, the envelope is so small the magnet BARLEY fits. You have to keep moving it around for like 5 minutes until you get it just in that right spot to be able to close the envelope. :( If you are going to order these, either be prepared to spend a lot of time trying to fit the magnet into the envelope provided, or spend more money on envelopes that'll fit the magnet easily.
Very good quality, beachy invites!
To the Shore Rectangle Invitations I just received these for our upcoming wedding and they are great! I love the background and the print looks fantastic! We were able to personalization just about everything on this card--we changed the font type, sizing and colors to fit our style a little better and they turned out great.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (December 10, 2013) – Two Scarlet Knights landed on NSCAA/Continental Tire Division I Men's Soccer All-Northeast Region teams it was announced on Tuesday. Sophomore midfielder Mael Corboz (Green Brook, N.J) was a second team honoree while senior Kene Eze (Sayreville, N.J.) was a third team selection.
Corboz finished the 2013 campaign tied for the team lead in points (20) coming from seven goals and a team-leading six assists. A First Team All-American Athletic Conference (AAC) member, he registered multiple goal games against Penn State and Princeton, along with game-winners against South Carolina and AAC Tournament top seed and seventh ranked Louisville.
Following a three-goal, two-assist weekend in helping RU to victories over Princeton and South Carolina, Corboz was named the AAC. NSCAA and Top Drawer Soccer Player of the Week. He was also honored by a nod to Top Drawer Soccer's National Team of the Week after notching the game-winner against Louisville in the AAC quarterfinals.
Eze, who missed six games due to injury, stormed back to the field to end the year tied with Corboz as the Scarlet Knights' leader in points (20). He finished the season with a team-leading eight goals along with four assists. He exploded for four goals in the AAC play-in victory over Cincinnati, marking the most goals by a player in the American in 2013. It was also a new career high for the senior Scarlet Knight having previously registered six points stemming from a trio of goals against Adelphi back on Sept. 27, 2011.
The senior Scarlet Knight ended his career "On The Banks" with 22 goals, eight assists and 52 points.

In response to:
JEFF2422, yes obama is a tyrrant
Bill Clinton got rave reviews for his speech at the Democratic National Convention. My wife said: "Clinton was great. He made Republicans look like liars and losers." Clinton, now a sainted elder statesman, also gets credit for the booming economy of the '90s.
Today, he appears in an Obama commercial -- in full "I feel your pain" mode -- saying that Obama "has a plan to rebuild America from the ground up."
When someone claims anyone can rebuild a society from the ground up, I say he is arrogant and delusional.
Clinton then tries to...

The New York Islanders have acquired forward Thomas Vanek from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for forward Matt Moulson, a conditional first round draft pick in 2014 and a 2015 second round pick.
Should the first round pick end up being in the top 10 this year, the Islanders have the option to defer the pick to the 2015 NHL Draft.
Vanek, 29, is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2013-14 season. In 13 games this season, he has scored four goals and added five assists.
The Austrian is in the final year of a seven-year deal he signed with the Sabres prior to 2007-08 worth an average annual value of $7.142 million.
"We had opportunity to acquire an elite player and given where we are right now (.500), you go for it," Islanders general manager Garth Snow told TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie.
"If we hadn't drafted so well, if we didn't have good prospects, we couldn't afford to take the risk," Snow told McKenzie on the steep price the Islanders paid to acquire Vanek.
The Islanders had not held contract extension discussions with Vanek prior to acquiring him.
Getting the deal done in October came as a surprise to many, but Sabres general manager Darcy Regier stated his pleasure with the return the team was able to get so early in the season.
"It was something we felt we had to do," Sabres general manager Darcy Regier told reporters Sunday night. "I think this is more an overall deal that will improve this hockey club going forward."
Vanek's agent Stephen Bartlett told McKenzie that his client is "excited to be an Islander."
"We'll take it day by day and focus on the short term for now and see where we are at season's end," Bartlett told McKenzie..
Vanek has scored 254 goals and 243 assists in 598 career NHL games, all with the Sabres. He has eclipsed the 30-goal plateau on four occasions, including a career-high 43 in 2006-07. The Sabres originally selected him fifth-overall at the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
Moulson has scored six goals and three assists with the Islanders in 11 games so far in 2013-14. He, too, is set to become an unrestricted free agent at season's end.
He is in the final season of a three-year deal worth an average annual value of $3.13 million.
Moulson has emerged as an offensive threat alongside Islanders captain John Tavares. He has scored 30-or-more goals in his last three full NHL seasons, including a career-best 36 in 2011-12.
The 29-year-old expressed his surprise at the end of his Islanders tenure to ESPN's Katie Strang, saying "I thought this could be a possibility but I didn't think this was going to happen."
"I guess this is what happens in pro sports," Moulson told Strang. "I gotta move on. I'll obviously miss everyone, but this will be a new chapter."
He was originally selected in the ninth round (263rd-overall) by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. He has scored 124 goals and 109 assists in 333 career NHL games with the Islanders and Los Angeles Kings.
The Sabres are currently last in the Eastern Conference with a 2-10-1 record and just five points through their first 11 games.
Vanek was one of two high-profile Sabres playing out the final year of a contract alongside goaltender Ryan Miller.

A special investigation pins much of the blame for the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse scandal on the do-nothing attitude of four top Penn State administrators — including legendary football coach Joe Paterno — who kept allegations under wraps to protect the university's image, according to a searing report released Thursday.
"The evidence clearly shows, in our view, an active agreement to conceal," Louis Freeh, a former FBI director who led the eight-month investigation, said at a news conference in Philadelphia.
Paterno and other top Penn State figures put the university's reputation over children's safety, emphasizing what was called "the Penn State Way" that promoted athletics without fear of oversight or reprisal from an ineffective board of trustees.
Those are some of the "saddening and sobering" findings in a 267-page investigation commissioned by Penn State that examined how the university handled allegations that Sandusky was sexually abusing children on campus.
Sandusky, a retired Penn State assistant football coach, was convicted June 22 on 45 of 48 counts of child sex abuse against 10 victims from 1994 to 2009.
For 14 years, Paterno, who coached football for more than six decades, exhibited a "total disregard" for the victims and concealed critical facts to avoid bad publicity, according to the report.
"Sixty-one years of excellent service to the university is now marred," said Trustee Karen Peetz.
The report contradicts what Paterno told The Washington Post in an interview shortly before his death in January when he said assistant coach Mike McQueary was vague in his description of Sandusky's alleged rape of a young boy in a locker room shower in 2001. Paterno told the Post more details wouldn't have helped.
"And to be frank with you, I don't know that it would have done any good, because I never heard of, of, rape and a man," he said. "So I just did what I thought was best. I talked to people that I thought would be, if there was a problem, that would be following up on it."
The Post reported that Paterno was hesitant to make follow-up calls because he didn't want to be seen as trying to exert influence either for or against Sandusky.
On Penn State's campus Thursday, students and alumni defended Paterno's legacy as they have since the revered coach became embroiled in the controversy that started when Sandusky was charged by a Dauphin County grand jury in November.
"I think his legacy will still be preserved as a wonderful guy who tried to always keep the interests of the university at the top. However, I think in this particular case he made a mistake," said Dick Lipsky, a 1983 graduate who was on campus Thursday.
"Look at the totality of everything he ever did," said alumnus Tom Flad of Bethlehem, who has donated millions to the university. "You just can't take this one thing and make everything he created horrible."
The Paterno family also defended the coach's reputation, saying Paterno was never aware Sandusky was a child predator who drew victims from a charity he founded called The Second Mile. And, they said, Paterno immediately reported the McQueary incident to his superiors.
"The issue we have with some of the conclusions is that they represent a judgment on motives and intentions and we think this is impossible," the family said in a written statement. "He is still the only leader to step forward and say that with the benefit of hindsight he wished he had done more."
Although Paterno had agreed to be interviewed in the probe, he died before Freeh's team could talk to him.
Attorneys representing Sandusky's victims mostly praised the report and said it will bolster the lawsuits some are pursuing against the university.
Freeh "couldn't have spoken in stronger terms about the degree to which Penn State failed these young men," said attorney Matt Casey, who represents three victims.
"The report was a wholesale indictment of the institution and its leadership," said Tom Kline, who represents the 23-year-old man identified by prosecutors as Victim 5, who was assaulted six months after McQueary reported the shower incident. He said the report establishes his client's claim for punitive damages against Penn State in that "his incident was preventable."
The investigation, built on 430 interviews and 31/2 million documents, also found violations of the Clery Act, which requires university officials to report such crimes.

Wow. This is a first in all of the seasons if Top Chef that I can remember. The entire group does so poorly that they have to get scolded like a bunch of kids being told that Christmas is getting canceled.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
The chefs are up bright and early at 3:45 AM to head down to Seattle's iconic Pike Place Market (For those that don't know, it is the outdoor market where the guys throw giant fish at each other and tourists go and oohhhhh and ahhhh.) There, clown pants Padma and Daisley Gordon, local chef and no slouch in the inappropriately loud fashion sense department either, are waiting to hand over the early morning Quickfire and the chance for immunity.
But before the details of the challenge come out, Padma asks the chefs to divide themselves up into pairs. Maybe it was the sleep deprivation, but this is where we see people's decision making skills start going to crap, none more so than the single biggest head-butting relationship in the house so far: John T. and Josh wind up together. These two hate each other. You can see Josh grinding his teeth as John stands next to him.
Not only are the teams responsible for preparing breakfast for 50 market workers that will be ready to eat in 1 hour, they also have to hustle over to Sur La Table to purchase any cooking surfaces or utensils they will need. So…plan, set up an outdoor kitchen, and cook breakfast for 50 people in one hour. Oh, and whatever they cook, has to be served ON A STICK.
Of course, what ensues is a mad dash. Bart almost kills himself moving too quickly with a panini press, dropping their cooking surface on the ground. That press winds up dying on him and Sheldon mid-cook, but they still manage to grill up enough of their breakfast sandwich to serve. And shockingly enough, it winds up in the top of the Quickfire
I still have not decided if Bart is actually a little weird, or just very European.
Josh and John seem to both take the high road and put their differences aside, despite their obvious hatred for one another. Their quail egg breakfast taco on a stick impresses Daisley, landing them in the top of the Quickfire as well. Ultimately, Bart and Sheldon get the win and immunity.
And I can't think of a better episode for someone to have won immunity. Because, WOW!
Elimination Challenge
As if the producers are going to let some of these pairings break up for the elimination challenge, especially Josh and John.
To celebrate some local artisanal vendors, each pairing is assigned a product to use and highlight in their dish, which will be lunch. These include spicy pickles for CJ and Tyler, rose water jelly for Stefan and Brooke, coconut curry chocolate for Lizzie and Danyele, truffle popcorn for Josh and John, Micah and Kristen get cheese curds, Eliza and Josie get cardamom bitters, and Bart and Sheldon's candied salmon. The winning team gets $10,000.
Except they don't.
I'll spare you the details, but every team did SO BAD across the board that Tom almost has a freak out, Hugh's head almost explodes with jokes, all of the local artisans are insulted by the crap the cheftestants turn out.
If there was a theme for the entire night, it can be summed up in one sentence: "But I didn't say anything."
That is the undoing of nearly all of the teams. With only two hours to prep, everyone gets so preoccupied with "good teamwork" that they allow bad ideas into the dishes rather than cause a problem.
So, papa bear Tom has to teach the cubs a lesson. Crank out horrible food like that, and no one gets $10,000. That is right; there is NO WINNER this week. And just in case this isn't driving the point home, it is now also a double elimination, with the worst team going home.
Ultimately, CJ and Tyler's decision to highlight spicy pickles by frying them and putting them onto a mushy pork burger as so unimaginative, that they pack up and head to Last Chance Kitchen, where I'm sure that Tyler will continue to be the spineless pushover that he has been all season.
Hopefully, this week is a wakeup call to these chefs to step their game up. Phoning it in not only won't cut it, it will be severely punished.
Favorite moments:
Hugh at chef's table. He had such delight in his face while ripping them to shreds, but none more so than when CJ actually walks BACK into the room to slam Lizzie and Danyele's dessert and ask why it wasn't in there, prompting Hugh to remind him that "your burger was even worse."

This reminded me of the Dim Sum challenge from AllStars. Tom was pretty upset at them that time. But at least the food was good when it got there!
I have no idea why they chose the partners they did. That was where everything fell apart. Why on earth would Josh and John decide to team up? Or Danyele and Lizzie? That was the big problem. The only team that made sense to me was Kristen and Micah, and I think that if the judges had to pick a favorite dish, it might have been theirs.
I liked it better when they had to draw knives for teams.

Grains like wheat, barley, and corn are major crops in Washington, covering some 2.5 million acres in 2012. Grown for both export and domestic use, the food produced from these crops make up the core calories in many people's diets. Research to better manage pests, soil fertility, and the environmental impact of growing these crops is important to maintain their production in Western, Central and Eastern Washington.

What kind of movies do you like to watch?
I'm a film artist and this Thursday night I'll be doing a talk at "Nerd Nite Orlando" called "Horror Porn Romcoms: The Absurdity of Film Genres" and I would love to do a quick little survey about what kind of movies people enjoy the most and what about a film excites you enough to get you to actually go to the theater or if you are even excited at all.... Get creative, share your love for movies, and maybe even post a genre that you've created- as we all know there are many different ways to categorize the films we love.
Thank you in advance to all those who leave comments, they are very much appreciated and I may even reference some of them in my talk this Thursday night.

"I just can't believe it, I just can not believe this has happened," said Wenonah Blevins. And neither could anyone else.
It was May of 2001 when FOX 26 broke the story of the 82-year-old widow who in the blink of an eye went from owning her own home to being homeless.
"I'm like a person who lives under a bridge I have no home," told Blevins to FOX 26 at the time.
Blevins paid cash for her home. But it was taken away by her homeowners association.
Why? The association claimed she owed them around $600 in unpaid dues.
Blevins plight resulted in new laws governing HOAs, but not enough to prevent a repeat of what happened to her.
Fast forward to 2010.
A soldier serving in Iraq loses his Frisco, Texas home to foreclosure over late homeowners association dues.
It's not just unpaid dues that can land a homeowner in hot water with his or her HOA.
"We love working on our house and it's been great to work on it," said Ben Corbin.
In 2009, FOX 26 Investigates brought the strange saga of the Corbins and their homeowners association which described the painted brick on the couple's house as hideous.
"And she said if the paint was not removed from the brick, the property could be foreclosed on and that I could face jail time for this painting of the brick," said Corbin.
The Corbin's HOA backed off after FOX 26 Investigates started asking questions.
Homeowners associations were put in place to protect the value of homes.
But in Texas, HOAs are legally allowed to do everything from post a notice on a resident's door to foreclosing on a home.

Montville — Superintendent of Schools Pamela Aubin has resigned effective July 1 and will take a leave this school year. The school board voted unanimously Tuesday night to allow Chairman David Rowley to accept her resignation and leave request. Aubin was not present.
Rowley called the action a "mutual agreement," and said, "We are eager to move forward with the leadership." An interim superintendent will be named by Sept. 1, he said.
The board met in executive session prior to the vote. It also discussed Aubin's contract in executive session on Monday night.
Aubin, on the job since January 2010, had two years left on her contract. In June, the board voted not give her a raise and not to extend her contract for another three years.
She could not be reached to comment.

Chris Long is using some of his NFL earnings to help pay for the new indoor practice facility being constructed on Grounds at Virginia.
The school announced on Thursday that Long, a former All-American at Virginia who is in his fifth season with the St. Louis Rams, has made a $300,000 contribution to the construction of the George Welsh Indoor Practice Facility.
"I am so proud to be a part of a brotherhood like the Virginia Football program," Long said in the school's release announcing the gift. "I am completely committed to helping Coach London build this program and I know it's going to take time and hard work to do it the right way."
Long was the second overall pick in the 2008 Draft by the Rams, after becoming the third unanimous All-American in program history after his senior year at Virginia in 2007. Long was also named the ACC defensive player of the year, and he won the Ted Hendricks Award as the best defensive end in the country.
"Some of my greatest memories were experienced at UVa working with my teammates to set a standard of excellence on the field that my university could be proud of," Long said. "Virginia football players of the future deserve this same opportunity and the construction of this facility goes a long way towards ensuring that reality."
"I'm extremely grateful to Chris for his contribution to the indoor facility," said Virginia head coach Mike London," who was Long's position coach for the 2004, 2006, and 2007 seasons. "I know he still bleeds orange and blue and is very proud of the Virginia program and wants to see us succeed. This gift helps to make that happen."
According to athletic director Craig Littlepage, Long's gift is the largest contribution the school has ever received from an active professional athlete.
"He was the epitome of a great college football player when he played for us and this generous gift shows that he didn't stop being that when he his career ended here," said London. "He was a difference maker for us as a player and now he's doing it again as an alum."
Construction on the 78,000-square foot indoor practice facility began last summer, and the project is expected to be completed next spring. The projected cost of the project is $14.5 million.

Size matters.
Don't be fooled by those clowns who tell you that size doesn't matter—damn straight it does. They're just saying that because they're insecure about their own tiny little "powder" sticks that can't hold a candle to the massive girth of the Liberty Genome. Sure, it's a little intimidating, but we promise you can handle it. The light, energetic bamboo and poplar core makes the Genome surprisingly lively and easy to manage, and a fiberglass laminate keeps it from getting floppy when you're driving it on hardpack—yup, hardpack. Even though it's obviously a powder ski, what's most surprising about the Genome is its versatility and all-mountain performance; believe it or not, there are cats who use it as their everyday West Coast driver, and though it might be hard to fathom, the Bomb Rocker's underfoot camber and moderate effective edge allow the Genome to be a far nimbler number than its dimensions would suggest.
Of course, it's a monster of a pow ski, with full tip and tail rocker and a silly-wide platform that let it surf, slash, and skip over the deepest, cold-smokinest snow you'll ever find, and all the stability you'd expect from a ski the size of an old-school snowboard. Liberty incorporated a Durathane PU bumper into the construction to smooth out the ride and keep your topsheets lookin' tight, and gave the Genome a lightning-quick P-Tex 2000 base, because sometimes you impress the girls more by being fast (It's also tough and easy to repair, which'll come in handy when you mob over some rocks while waving at tourists on the lift.) Even if you never mount 'em up, they'll be a sure-fire conversation starter if you leave them in your living room for visitors to ogle.

- Speedcore (sustainable bamboo with poplar and fiberglass laminates)
- Bomb Rocker (tip and tail rocker, slight camber underfoot)
- P-Tex 2000 bases
- HRC 48 extra-wide and deeply-anchored edges

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Was a bit intimidated at first when i got this ski, but boy is it a dream to ski. Been skiing on it for 3 seasons now. Obviously a great ski for deep days but also great for busting through tracked out backcountry runs, even days after the last snowfall. While some question touring on these (Dynafits), they just don't get it. Let them rip baby! Definitely a ski that you look forward to taking out because the skiing is just so much fun. Never felt so confident making tight turns on all sorts of terrain/conditions. Enjoy

Great review man Igor,
When you take them out you know there is a great day to be had.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This ski is new to my collection of liberty skis.
I just had a set of hammerheads mounted on it. I was a little nervous that this ski was going to be way to fat since it is 141 underfoot. I took it out on a semi-powder day at the bird.
These skis rode great! They floated over everything with perfect control. Then when I went out to the groomers I was able to hold an edge.
This is'nt a one ski quiver but on those days when its snowing or a day or two after a snowstorm these skis will kill it!
Liberty makes a hell of ski.

A woman may wear many different uniforms, but that doesn't change who she is on the inside.
That was the message women, including several veterans, heard at the Charleston Area Alliance's March 6 Elevations luncheon. Cassaundra St. John and Victoria Wegwert from the Texas-based F7 Group said their mission is to empower female veterans by giving them the tools to focus on the seven F's: friends and family, freedom, foundation/formation, function, focus, flexibility and fundamentals.
"As we sit around and we start talking to the lady next to us – possibly one of our best girl friends, someone we find out we have so much in common with – we realize that if you're an entrepreneur, a CEO, you work for corporate America or you're a veteran, our faces are the same. We're all women," Wegwert said. "How we engage, how we plug in, how we connect to each other and to society, how we get jobs, how we work together—all of those things are amazingly important."
St. John grew up with parents who were in the Army. Her father was a command sergeant major and her mother a four-star general. St. John joined the U.S. Air Force and now has an MBA in marketing and international business. But her success post-military didn't come easy. St. John said she faced many challenges after leaving the Air Force.
"I went literally from answering the red phone and talking to Colin Powell to working in a potato chip factory," she said. "That's what happens. Over the course of the years, I went and got an education and had some great opportunities, some phenomenal mentors in my life and over the course of the last 20 years, I made a transition. I sure wish it wouldn't have taken 20 years though. I sure wish I would have had people out there, what we have today."
Groups that point women veterans in the right direction, such as the Charleston Area Alliance and the West Virginia Women's Commission, are a great start, St. John said.
St. John and Wegwert met at a networking event in Texas. Wegwert already owned a design company, so she and St. John began collaborating and decided to go into business together. They had an opportunity to go to a symposium in San Antonio for female veteran entrepreneurs, but the workshop left something to be desired.
"We thought man this is awesome, everything we've been waiting for," St. John said.
"We were so excited," Wegwert added.
They were surprised when the person leading the workshop titled "I'm every woman, but am I an entrepreneur?" turned out to be a man.
"I think he's a wonderful man, but he is a college professor and he was telling us that he knows what it's like to be a female veteran entrepreneur," St. John said. "It was a great weekend and we met phenomenal women who we still have great relationships with today. But I'll be transparent with you, we drove away complaining. We were not happy with the fact that there was nothing out there for women by women, who had walked in our shoes and understood what it was like to live our life."
That's how the F7 Group was born.
"We see a huge need," Wegwert said.
The two women used their network and backgrounds to build an organization that could reach out to female veterans. From there, they hatched a business model and got to work.
"After we developed our business boot camps and all of our trainings, we put a lot of time and money in that and put it on the shelf. We said we don't think that's the answer. That might be the answer DOD, VA, Army, anyone else was looking for. But we didn't think that was the answer. We think we need to start by talking to just the girl."
One way the F7 Group gets down to the core is through retreats, which are specifically designed for current female service members, female veterans or female family members of active duty military. F7 Group also offers business boot camp.
St. John said breaking down the walls is where change happens.
"This is just about breaking down some barriers, going out to Girl Scout camp, literally, going out on the ropes and staying up all night being silly and really breaking down the walls," St. John said. "That's where real change begins to happen."
The Elevations luncheon coincided with Women at the Legislature Day at the West Virginia State Capitol. First lady Joanne Tomblin gave the luncheon's keynote speech.

It Might Not be Lonely at the Top for Android for Long
Harsh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Of the various clans fighting the smartphone war, Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android is the most powerful as it stands with close to 73% of the market in its pocket. But, as we have seen so far, it doesn't take long for leaders to become laggards in the smartphone arena, and there are some potent threats to the Android supremacy which shouldn't be ignored.
The story so far
In the third and final part of this future of smartphone operating systems trilogy, I will tell you how Android, which emerged out of nowhere to take pole position in the smartphone race, might see its lead over others diminish comprehensively.
Previously, I told you how Research In Motion (NASDAQ: BBRY), which enjoyed an Android-esque status a few years back, is trying to cut its teeth back into the smartphone game through its BB10 platform, set to be launched later this month. Also, we saw how Nokia is finally seeing some positives in the post-Symbian age by way of its partnership with Microsoft for Windows Phones.
Apart from these stories of struggle, we saw how Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) needs to raise its game in the global smartphone war and keep the wheels of innovation moving in order to keep its growth rate intact. But all of this might seem nothing compared to what lies in store for Android -- a possible implosion of the most widely used OS on earth.
The android story? More of a Samsung story
Android began with the inception of the Open Handset Alliance back in 2007 with HTC, Sony, LG, Motorola and Samsung as the handset makers. Many more joined the Android bandwagon in the following years but one company stood out and made the most of it -- Samsung.
Initially, it seemed that since these handset makers would use the same OS, there wouldn't be much difference between smartphones and none would have hegemony over the others. But now, Samsung sells around 40% of all Android devices shipped according to IDC, thereby becoming the prime exponent of the OS.
The South Korean giant's solid marketing machinery and innovation catapulted the platform to new highs while others such as HTC, Sony and LG were left in the lurch. This undoubtedly gave Samsung a huge bargaining power, since high sales volumes of its Android devices would drive ad revenue for Google. The Samsung flagship became the Android flagship, and the company utilized the OS to its maximum benefit to become the leading smartphone maker.
Meanwhile, Google itself was unable to milk the most out of the OS since it offers the software to smartphone makers free of cost in the hopes of earning ad revenue. But, as revealed during a patent and copyright infringement settlement last year, Google had made just $550 million in three years from Android, while Samsung raked in billions.
Moreover, Samsung's growing influence in the Android ecosystem was indeed a point of concern, since the South Korean behemoth was also dabbling in other territories. It had already skinned the Android interface with TouchWiz, its proprietary user interface which made its Android devices look similar to its homegrown Bada OS. In addition, Samsung also kept its Windows Phone lifeline open and delivered a solid device in the form of the ATIV S last year.
And now, it has emerged that Samsung is keen to push forward the development of its own open source software, Tizen, in an aggressive manner. Reports suggest that Samsung is looking to reduce its reliance on Android by developing Tizen into a competing platform, and might release some "competitive" devices based on the platform this year.
Samsung has been playing its cards smartly. It has its own app store (although it isn't that great), hasn't restricted itself to one OS, and is now developing its own thing. With the huge marketing machinery and loyal fan following its commands, it shouldn't prove to be too difficult for it to scale up its own OS and ecosystem.
Google wants more
But why has all of this suddenly come into the spotlight? Well, Google got greedy and envious it seems. As Samsung made money, Google couldn't make enough of it from the platform whose development it spearheaded. But, it seems that the success of the Nexus 4 has left the search-engine giant craving for more, and it wants to become a smartphone company.
For this purpose, Google is looking to use its Motorola Mobility acquisition to good effect. Initially, it had seemed that the acquisition was done to get hold of Motorola's patents, but ever since rumors of an 'X Phone' emerged, it became clear what Google had actually intended to do. As The Wall Street Journal reported last month, the real intention behind the development of an X Phone was to contest the smartphone war against both Apple and Samsung.
But in reality, it seems the move is aimed more at Samsung rather than Apple, since defection of the South Korean giant to another platform would result in loss of ad revenue. Moreover, with its own device, Google would finally be able to enjoy the fruits of Android the way it has always desired.
If this indeed happens, and the Samsung-Google relationship sours in the future, Android would undoubtedly lose its biggest propagator and this would open up opportunities for other platforms to get in. If this happens, Apple's iOS would probably gain more ground, while Windows Phones and RIM's BB10 could expect some more subscribers coming their way.
Open source competitors
But it would be foolhardy to not make a mention of Tizen and Ubuntu, both of which are open source platforms. While Tizen enjoys the backing of Samsung and Intel along with the Linux Foundation, Canonical is looking to take things one step further by introducing Ubuntu on a phone. In the words of gigaom.com's Kevin Tofel, "Ubuntu on a phone looks as polished as iOS and open as Android, which could make for an attractive combination." Think of it as a marriage between iOS and Android, or even better, and you would have one of the most potent threats that Android has ever seen.
Final words
The smartphone space is always buzzing with activity and innovation, and it doesn't take too long for heroes to turn into zeroes and vice-versa. Android has undoubtedly extended its lead in terms of market share over others, but might suffer if the Google-Samsung relationship sours or some other open source OS betters it, or even RIM and Microsoft turn their operating systems into Android beaters.

Topic - XC Ski trip locations: Seefeld?
greg_may_ - on 08 Jan 2013
Looks like an XC ski trip is on the cards as the other half wants to do something different and we're not really a warm beach sorta couple. Planning for the last week in February.
Anyone been XC skiing in Seefeld? Have had a few people recommend it as it has a nice mixture of trail standards.
Would be flying from Manchester then assume its possible to get a train from Innsbruke? Any ideas? Would be interested in the more budget side of accommodation if anyone knows of anywhere.
Also up for ideas of other places to go! Had originally planned Aviemore, but we want to make sure we get some snow, also bit of altitude training cant hurt :)

Aereo Puts Fox on the Run
Tech startup Aereo scored a victory in the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals with their plan to receive and stream broadcast television to Internet subscribers. Television broadcast companies have vociferously objected to the plan, which they say allows Aereo to use their content without a license. The broadcasters will undoubtedly appeal the decision, which will now go to either the full Second Circuit or the US Supreme Court.

Believe it or not, it's not about ticket sales...or, at least not JUST about ticket sales. Rather than regurgitating what someone else said above, I'll just paste it here:
"The annoying thing is, this is a simple thing to have foresight into and prepare for. You load test the system. You insure things work properly internally (which seems to be the problem I've been having. . . authentication issues, password reset problems, etc) before something big like this happens. It's difficult, but straight forward for anyone who's been doing web commerce for any period of time. Why Blizzard hasn't done it (which I say purely based on the evidence provided by the store being buggered) is a mystery to me."

Research Project Summary Information
The goal of this project is to develop a modeling system to assist operators and regulators in planning all aspects of water management associated with shale gas development (i.e., "Lifecycle Planning"). Lifecycle planning allows users to perform scenario analyses to answer "what if" questions for various situations.
Map Error
The lifecycle modeling system will have the capability to analyze costs, various water supply options, and various waste disposal options for the management of water associated with shale gas development. It will incorporate constraints presented by relevant state and local permit requirements, agreements, and regulations, as well as equipment and material availability.
The modeling system will have myriad benefits for industry, government, and the public. It will allow industry to optimize water use and minimize costs (subject to regulatory and other constraints), will facilitate analysis of options and tradeoffs, and will simplify the permitting and reporting process. It will help regulators study cumulative impacts of development, conserve water resources, and manage disposal options across a region, as well as track permitting and monitoring compliance. And it will benefit the public by facilitating decision-making and scheduling (with resulting water conservation, improved environmental performance, and increased supply of natural gas).

Software Developer, PatientWay
avril 2011 - décembre 2013
PatientWay™ Access Management Platform, is an integrated suite of applications that streamlines the flow of information about patients from their primary care physician through to the clinical area of a hospital.
My major contribution has been the development of the AMP's Wayfinding v2. A flexible and mutable design that is built with SVG, Javascript, jQuery, and underscore.js on the client side. It has a Ruby on Rails back end integration with AMP's Flow and Screens Models, for a powerful and highly desirable feature set.
Daily activities include GIT, rvm/rbenv, TDD, and code review. We use Glassfish v3 as a deployment strategy, we develop in Mac and Linux environments, and thanks to our Agile process, we go through a lot of stickie pads!
Lead Design/Development, RaddStudio
septembre 2005 - Actuel
Offering design, development, management, and online strategic services, I help my clients make their websites work for them, so that they can focus on what they do best. Working with web, graphic, and print mediums, I bring together creative ideas and technologies to make my clients dreams come true. I tend to work with open source technologies to keep my clients costs down, but am ready to adapt to the needs of the project, no matter what they may be.
I commonly employ the use of Eclipse, PHP/MySQL/Apache/Linux and Joomla! frameworks as well as Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator, MS Office products. Custom code and HTML/CSS/JavaScript, components, modules, and plug-ings built from the ground up for my clients and projects. I have also developed sites using Ruby on Rails and have worked with a handful of gems.
System Programmer, Threshold-FTI
octobre 2007 - septembre 2008
Threshold has differentiated itself in the financial transaction and ABM marketplace by specializing in the provision of high quality, fully managed, POS and ABM solutions.
Work involved analyzing, redesigning and developing an administrative platform for user and content management with respect to Threshold's application services as well as other common tools to be used internally. When I arrived to start work with the company, applications were written in a variety of web languages with little organization which became cumbersome on company resources. I rebuilt them in a multi-tier MVC style, bringing integrity to the company's web platform as the WebTools product, a user friendly, fully featured web platform for ATM's and credit unions that reports financial data, audits user interaction, catches exceptions and errors, and that can be built upon with further plug-in development.
The company standard was to work with VS 2005-2008, building with C#, ASP.NET, ADO.NET. I also defined a major user manual and built a SDK for the company to continue WebTools growth for future requirements.
Web Designer / Developer, TNS-Smart Network
mai 2005 - octobre 2007
Designed and developed online and print marketing collateral and sales platforms for some of the company`s newest products. I also was responsible for building plug-ins on the company's WebMon product. A user and content management system for their financial transaction services, adding plug-ins and other upgrades. I also took charge in managing as well as upgrading the four of the company's other websites. My skills and experience using VS 2003-2005, C#, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, HTML/CSS, and Adobe's Creative Suite were an essential asset to the company, its team, and its final products.
Co-Founder/Lead Developer, DarkLab Productions

One of three founders combining talents together to make a great creative team for our clients. We were a web designer/programmer, a web/graphic designer and an audio engineer, together we started DLP, where I took the role lead developer.
Working with php and mySQL, I build objects which I used to drive a guest book and a basic forum. However, my graphic, web, and flash design skills came into play more often in the 2 years I spent at the startup.

Using self taught skills, I was responsible for drafting property boundaries for septic installations. Including coordinates of housing, arbor, water sources, roads, and test-pit locations as well as soil-profiles. The company could then recommend the best location for septic systems on the property. I often created professionally drafted documents to scale, for client presentation of the project recommendations using AutoCAD, Delphi, and MS Office.
