Blue-chip stocks ended a seesaw trading day slightly higher but fell for the third consecutive week, as investors hit the brakes on the selloff that followed the presidential election.
Stocks struggled to find direction after a two-day tumble and retreated from the day's highs after President Obama spoke about sticking to higher taxes for the wealthy in coming negotiations on fiscal tightening. Jonathan Cheng has details on The News Hub. Photo: Bloomberg.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 4.07 points, less than 0.1%, to 12815.39. The index's 2.1% weekly loss was the biggest percentage decline since June.
Technology shares led the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index higher, as it rose 2.34 points, or 0.2%, to 1379.85. The tech-oriented Nasdaq Composite gained 9.29 points, or 0.3%, to 2904.87, but marked its fifth straight weekly loss.
The Dow had lost 434 points, or 3.3%, over its previous two sessions, the biggest two-day decline in a year. Investors have been fretting about the looming "fiscal cliff" and its mix of tax increases and spending cuts if a budget deal isn't reached by year-end.

In his first speech from Washington since his re-election, Mr. Obama said Friday that he would bring in business, civic and labor leaders on budget negotiations, but added any deal would have to result in wealthy Americans paying more in taxes. But by not repeating his campaign call to let the top tax rate rise on high-income households, he left open the possibility of raising tax revenue by limiting or eliminating deductions. Blue-chip stocks had gained as much as 75 points earlier in the day.
Separately, positive readings on consumer opinion and wholesale inventories indicated that the state of the U.S. economy could be better than investors had feared. The preliminary Thomson-Reuters/University of Michigan consumer-sentiment index rose more than expected, while wholesale inventories in September increased from the prior month, at the fastest pace this year. Also, import prices rose in October, exceeding expectations.
European markets closed slightly lower, with the Stoxx Europe 600 down 0.1%. The Greek Parliament meets Sunday for a vote on its budget, a day before a meeting of euro-zone finance ministers. It still isn't clear that Greece will be able to receive the next round of bailout aid. The Athens General Index added 0.9% and fell less than 0.1% on the week.
The French central bank said the country's economy is expected to contract 0.1% in the fourth quarter, heightening worries about a recession. France's CAC-40 index rose 0.5% but slumped 2% on the week.
In Germany, declines in banking shares hit the DAX index, which dropped 0.6%, pushing it down 2.7% for the week. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 index fell 0.1%, declining 1.7% on the week.

Asian markets fell as worries about the U.S. and Greece offset encouraging data out of China. China's Shanghai Composite slipped 0.1% for its fifth consecutive loss, and down 2.3% for the week, despite data showing that industrial output and retail sales for October rose more than expected.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average fell 0.9%, also for a fifth session in a row, and declined 3.2% on the week.
Crude-oil prices gained 1.2%, to settle at $86.07 a barrel, while gold advanced 0.3%, to settle at $1,730.30 a troy ounce. The dollar rose against the euro and yen. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.613% as prices rose.

The Witch-king of Angmar takes a *fabulous* step to prepare for battle.
Author: DMitchell1985
Beta: Julie
Rating: G
Disclaimer/Warnings: I do not own the characters, but I do own what I did to them. =D It was nothing major, really./Movie-version based!
Genre: Humor (at least my attempt ;) at it.)
Summary: The Witch-king of Angmar takes a fabulous step to prepare for battle.
Cast: The Witch-king of Angmar and his second-in-command, Khamûl
Contact: betagirl23 at yahoo dot com/http://livejournal.com/users/dmitchell1985
Author's Notes: This story was written for the Julie_Fianna_Archive Writing Challenge #4 (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Julie_Fianna_Archive/?yguid=155156167). I did not make up "Khamûl," I found it in an online database.
The famed Witch-king of Angmar was known all of the charted lands over for many things, and a keen fashion sense was one of them. The upcoming end-all battle to take place on the Pelennor Fields before the doomed city of Men had the fallen king in a fashionista's tizzy. This was any Nazgûl's dreaded nightmare.
Every powerful ruler knew that the beginning of each successful battle was rudimentarily based on an attractive outfit, and then the presense it took to pull it off flawlessly. Naturally, the hands-on skills to destroy that ruler's enemies would come into play - eventually. This would only occur after the diligent work that been taken in dressing the ruler had been appreciated by the luckless foes. What would be the value of the time spent preparing for battle, if the preparations were not first admired?
The pacing Witch-king had taken the battle decorum to heart as a young royal, and continued its practice until this very Age. Though the recovery of the One Ring for his Master took precedence in his shadowed life, their was no need to appear unbefitting of his status.
He called for Khamûl, his second-in-command, to help him narrow his options. He blindly ran a hand across the last of the accessories to choose from as he waited. He had to don an unequaled adornment if he was to present the impression he sought.
'Were spiked headdresses still considered frightening to most peasants and warriors alike?' the king pondered silently.
His second appeared by his side in a instant following the hollow summon.
"Which do you believe suits myself, this battle, and the impending victory best?" the Witch-king inquired earnestly.
Khamûl stared down at the spiked and smoothed selections spread across his king's chamber-table. He tired of the more flamboyant displays of status. What prey honestly cared what was worn when they met their demise? Prey would not stop to remark on the meticulously polished armor of The Nine as they fled.
But Khamûl understood the requirements of his king, and beared the almost laughable nightmare as he would any other order.
"The spiked one would suit you, the battle, and the victory best, my king."
"Very well. Assist me in this matter, and then ready my steed."
Khamûl nodded his compliance and turned to lift the weighty complement for the Witch-king's armor high above his head. He suppressed a snort at the king's ridiculous pride as he lowered his arms. Perhaps one day he could enjoy a respite from the tiresome routinue. Until then, there was decorum to attend.
The End

Accidents out on the ice on Lake Champlain have become more common in recent years. On Sunday local departments came out to learn life saving lessons to make sure they are prepared if and when they get the call."We do annual refresher training for our team and for most of the mutual aid departments that respond with us on Mallett's Bay or in their communities," said Michael Cannon with Colchester Technical Rescue.Men and women from Colchester Technical Rescue, Mallets Bay Fire and surrounding departments suited up for the Ice Water Rescue training course. "What we try to educate them with is thin ice, how to get themselves up and out of the ice if they happen to fall through the ice and into the water, and how to successfully try to get a victim out of the water," Cannon said."It's a little cumbersome trying to get yourself up -- that's the major challenge -- and then making sure, keeping the victim calm so we have a perfect outcome," said Essex Town Fire Capt. David Sheeran.Peter and Nick Henry are both firefighters for the Essex Fire Department. The brothers say after certification they'll be ready to respond out on the ice. "There's a lot of people that -- like at Indian Brook -- like to go out and walk around and so at some point. I believe that we will have to go out and use this training in order to help and save somebody," Nick said."I believe if that moment came, I could act in a moment's notice," Peter added.The skills crews will learn on Lake Champlain will not only help them save victims, but also save themselves in situations where the icy waters could prove fatal. "Being immersed in the water, in the summer time, where you might have an hour in the water before hypothermia takes over -- you only have minutes on days like today when the water temperature is just a little bit above 32 degrees," Cannon said.The local fire and rescue departments take part in ice water training day once a year if they need to be certified, but departments are asking those who are out on the water during the winter time to be safe. "Always try to go out onto the ice with another person if you can, try not to venture out alone if you do venture out alone. You should have some type of flotation device with you," Cannon said.Ice picks could also be life saving tools for anyone who finds themselves stuck in icy waters. And on days like Sunday, it's training courses like this that ensure rescue teams are prepared for any situation. This winter is the most ice Lake Champlain has had since 2007, but officials say they still cannot stress safety enough for anyone venturing out on the lake.

Georgia's state parks have seen more park visitors camping.
This week, Jamie Ertle heads to a Twin City state park that used to be a hub for merchants as part of her One Tank Trip report.
George L. Smith State Park in Emanuel County is often described as a hidden gem.
"It's tucked away, nice and quiet," said Park Manager Matt Muhmel.
But its beauty is immediately apparent on Parrish Pond, where the water meets the sky pulling you into nature's wonders.
"It's not far from home and it has a lot to offer especially with the lake," he said.
That lake is quiet on the surface, but underneath it's an angler's dream.
Muhmel said catfish, brim, bass, all different kinds of sunfish, panfish, catfish and a jackfish, which is like a northern pike, thrive in the lake.
"We do have a fish cleaning station in our camp ground so if you were to stay overnight with us camping, catch a fish, go home, at the end of the day clean 'em and fry 'em up," he said.
Then there's the primitive camp site. There's no water, no electricity, and the nearest bathroom is a mile and half away.
There are seven miles of recreational trails. Back in the 1800s, they were major thoroughfares when commerce would travel back and forth from the mill.
A man-made test of American ingenuity is the original 1880 turbine water powered mill house, which is still standing.
It was used as a saw mill, sugar mill, and grist mill - the latter two the park celebrates with monthly grits and cornmeal making sessions and its now-annual sugar cane festival.
Now how about some treasure hunting?
Geocaching has been around for a while. It involves using GPS or mobile apps to follow clues and find treasures hidden along the trails.
"We'd love to reach that younger generation, that's why Facebook and social media is the route," Muhmel said.
George L. Smith State Park is 151 miles round trip from Savannah and takes three-quarters of tank of gas.

In contrast, I love butternut squash and eat it quite frequently. I hated this dish....the blue cheese completely overpowered the taste of the bn squash. No one in my family liked it and I ended up throwing it in the garbage.
Butternut Squash Gratin with Blue Cheese and Sage
kaykaypee Posted: 11/27/08
carolfitz Posted: 01/11/09
We had no bread so used melba rounds, pulsed to crumbs. Otherwise made to recipe. Interesting change. Served with CL's classic roast chicken & steamed brussels sprouts.
fabfoodie914 Posted: 02/14/10
Boyfriend and I loved this recipe. The kids not so much, but that was to be expected since they are picky eaters and the blue cheese is overpowering to them. But, this was absolutely delicious to us adults.
Sunglow Posted: 12/11/08
Wow, I loved this dish. I made a half batch, and it was fantastic. We thought the sharpness of the blue cheese was a nice foil to the sweet of the squash. I did steam the squash a bit before I put it into the oven as I was in a bit of a hurry.
amylousgar Posted: 12/01/08
This went over very well at Thanksgiving this year. I didn't get the blue cheese sprinkled as evenly as I would have liked, so it had big melty clumps, but if you really like blue cheese that's not a bad thing.
lollypaul Posted: 11/07/10
I was skeptical about this, with sage and blue cheese, but this was great! Substutions: panko for the bread crumbs and omitted two tsp. of the oil, and used the reduced fat blue cheese crumbles as a previous rater had done. It was great! Will make again--would definitely be a great Thanksgiving side dish!
crc123 Posted: 12/08/08
I made this with a roasted chicken, and we all really enjoyed it. I didn't have blue cheese, so I mixed parmesan with the breadcrumbs. I think I would try the blue cheese, but not sure if the rest of my family would enjoy it. I will definitely make this again.
kelseyd Posted: 12/05/08
This is the most delicious squash recipe that I've ever tasted! Even my husband, who does not like many vegetables, LOVED this recipe. I've made it twice in the past 2 weeks! It's easy enough to make it on a weeknight, but also pretty enough to serve it at a special occasion. If you don't feel like spending a bunch on fresh sage, I used dried; just use less of the dried than it calls for the fresh. Dried is much stronger in flavor.
MelissaTN Posted: 11/30/08
This was absolutely delicious! It has so much flavor and just melts in your mouth. I served it as an entree along with a salad and it was very satisfying. It will also be great as a side dish for pork or chicken.
RDH2000 Posted: 12/03/08
Made this for Thanksgiving. Looked great, tasted great. I used wheat bread rather than white as I couldn't bring myself to purchase a loaf just for one slice. I assembled it a day ahead. I look forward to making again. All those at the table who like squash really enjoyed it.
djdavis Posted: 11/29/08
We made it for Thanksgiving instead of a sweet pototo dish. Everyone loved it!! It was delicious and easy, but rich in flavor. A definate make again.
foodandbrew Posted: 12/03/08
I love butternut squash, but this was really bad. The blue cheese completely overpowers the dish. I used Danish blue cheese, and even used less whan was called for. A total of two bites were eaten of this dish before it went in the trash.
Amorena Posted: 11/26/08
I have not had very many butternut squash dishes in my lifetime to compare this to but have to say this recipe is INCREDIBLE! Absolutely loved it!
ranchgranny Posted: 12/06/08
Good as a family recipe, but not a dinner party recipe. I'll add some garlic next time and more sage.
Mittany Posted: 12/03/08
It's amazing what sage and blue cheese do to this dish. I wasn't expecting much but it was a hit at the pot-luck.
Mondaynightchef Posted: 01/22/09
This was absolutely wonderful. The sweet and savory went great with baked chicken thighs. I t made a lot and reheated in the microwave perfectly. I microwaved the squash cubes in the same pan I was going to bake in and used regular bread crumbs rather than get out the food processor. Otherwise you have a lot of things to clean up.
Jessie123 Posted: 03/06/09
This has become a family favorite, I pair it with spicy chicken sandwiches and it's a great compliment. I followed the directions exactly.
Kaliko Posted: 12/31/08
I love Butternut Squash and was looking for a new way to prepare. This recipe was delicious. Followed recipe as written. Have already made it twice during the holidays.
Creekside Posted: 12/28/08
I did like the bleu cheese, but would reduce the amount to make it palatable to the entire family.
skspillman Posted: 11/23/09
This was very good-quite tasty! I used 1/2 cup of panko instead of making the bread crumbs myself and used a bit more blue cheese than called for. Served alongside some roast chicken and a salad. Even my picky eater enjoyed this, and it is definitely worthy of special occasions like holiday meals.
shannon9585 Posted: 02/15/09
This was an excellent dish and very easy to prepare. I simmered the squash for about 10 minutes before putting in the baking dish and didn't even bother to saute the onions... I just added them straight to the baking dish. I substituted goat cheese crumbles for the blue cheese, but otherwise followed the recipe. Overall, very good and will be making again!
Ltoeat Posted: 01/21/09
I cooked the squash in the microwave for 8 minutes. I used Ezekel bread and Feta cheese. It was good. Might use butter to saute the onion and add bacon for special occasions.
yentruoc Posted: 01/23/09
The word "gratin" made me think there would be something creamy-esque about this recipe- the texture, something. Instead it was dry and the blue cheese was not a good fit at all. I would not make this again.
SarahAnnB Posted: 10/20/10
Loved this!!! I just made a half batch since it was just my husband and I and I was trying to use up some butternut squash I had. I sautéed the onions in butter instead of the oil to cut the onion flavor a little since my husband doesn't like onion too much. I steamed the squash so didn't end up baking it quite as long as recipe called for. Turned out great and super easy!
aicali Posted: 11/28/09
This was way better than I thought it was going to be. I picked this recipe to use up the extra butternut squash I had. I substituted dried sage for fresh and sourdough bread for white.
ViennaVAfoodie Posted: 03/11/10
We've made this about three times now and each time it seems to get better. We add more onion to the mix (maybe an extra 1/2 to 1 full cup) and more sage (2 tbsps) since my fiance doesn't care for squash. Such a great winter time side dish. I love the combination of the blue cheese, sage and squash.
ElizaThorn Posted: 11/23/09
Good use of butternut squash! We used dried sage instead of fresh, since that's what we had, but it was good nonetheless. I was worried at first that the baking dish would be too small when I saw all the onions, but it was perfect. We even added some shredded chicken and ate it as a meal. Very tasty.
8stringfan Posted: 10/24/10
I really wavered on the rating, but went ahead with a three instead of a two. This is a very easy and satisfying side dish that reheats quite well. I do think the onion could be overpowering for some eaters and I would caution to not go over the suggested amount. I'd also consider caramelizing if there was time, just to see how it would taste. Lastly I subbed feta for blue cheese because I hate blue cheese, and IMO the feta tastes great in this dish. Oh, and I also used panko crumbs and feel it was a fine substitution...next time I'll use whole-wheat panko.
tara31 Posted: 04/11/10
This is a great side dish with a ton of flavor. I used low-fat blue cheese crumbles for a lighter dish.
liz581 Posted: 10/21/09
We loved this. It is total comfort food. We pair it with roasted chicken. Great for a weeknight dinner, but seems like it would be a good holiday side dish too. This is one of our new favorites.
JCollins Posted: 12/24/09
This recipe was so good that I'm including in Christmas dinner.
KristineA Posted: 02/01/11
I really liked this! But the rest of my family was not so crazy about it. Hubbie (who hates sweet potatoes if that helps you understand it all) thought it was just OK- he really liked the blue cheese in it. The kids (one also hates sweet potatoes, the other doesn't, but hates blue cheese!) they were not so crazy about either the onions, the blue cheese or the squash! Darn kids :0) I..... on the other hand LOVED it! I think I might roast the butternut squash next time to get a more caramelized flavor. I WILL make this again (sorry family!)even if it is just for company- or a really small serving just for me.
bmv0220 Posted: 11/13/10
I should have known that steaming and then baking the squash for that amount of time would make it a little too soft (or should I say mushy) for my liking....I prefer my butternut squash to hold its texture a bit. The flavors were very good however. Next time I'll just be sure to steam them much less, if not at all.
Chartnett Posted: 10/24/10
I thought this was a great side dish for my turkey dinner. It's easy to make and sage and butternut squash always pair nicely. The blue cheese added great flavor. I used garlic and dried sage and instead of fresh and it was delicious. I'd make this again! I gave this four stars for ease of recipe and taste but it's not limited to a special occasion!
samanthalenore Posted: 01/22/11
Made this twice now--we like to use extra breadcrumbs and cheese. The combination of the onions, the squash, and the sage is really delicious, and if the recipe actually got the breadcrumbs to be crispier (perhaps I'll try adding a little panko next time?), I would rate this higher. But as it is, it's a solid, tasty recipe, but I probably wouldn't make it for company as it is.
buffalogarden2 Posted: 12/15/10
This was one of the most bland recipes I have ever made using butternut squash. I followed the recipe exactly but switched bread crumbs with panko instead. It was an absolute waste of good ingredients like the squash and blue cheese. I salvaged the leftovers by adding chopped bacon and more blue cheese which made it less healthy but it was edible unlike the original recipe.
Diane1954 Posted: 03/13/11
VERY flavorful. Made this in a pan slightly larger than 11 X 7 and as a result some of the onions "crisped" a bit but it added a nice bit of texture to the dish. Two of us ate this a our only dish for dinner one night with no regrets! Independently came to the same conclusion as a previous rater: this would make a great side dish for Thanksgiving!
CreativeHolly Posted: 12/23/10
This is one of the best butternut squash recipes ever! I brought it to a potluck and everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. I am making it again to serve with Turkey Meatloaf for Christmas Eve. I prepared it a day ahead and left the bread crumbs off. Then the next day I sprinkled the breadcrumbs on top and baked it.
Belladonna714 Posted: 09/11/11
Yummy! I used whole wheat panko breadcrumbs, Wegmans basting oil, sweet onion, and gorgonzola cheese. The squash did take a little longer than stated to steam, but not a big deal. I served with Wegmans garlic and fennel chicken breast...bad pairing of flavors on my part. I would make this again and looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
mamita Posted: 10/09/11
Great recipe that was well received by my family. My husband said it was just good, a little weird but he's super picky. My 16 month old LOVED it and I thought it was great. A nice change from the usually plain roasted squash with a little butter like I usually do. Easy to make and very good!
LT1175 Posted: 10/12/11
I thought this was great! If you don't like blue cheese, stay away. Otherwise, this was easy.
Sigralite Posted: 10/09/11
This dish was absolutely fantastic! My fiance loved every bite and had to go back for seconds, which is amazing, considering this dish had 0 meat, and he's quite a fan of meat. - I did make some minor adjustments due to not having specific ingredient. **White bread switched with Potato White bread **Crumbled blue cheese switched with 1cup shredded Pepper Jack and Crumbled Goat Cheese. Over all this dish was fantastic, I will be making it again, very soon.
NikNat624 Posted: 10/26/11
Love, love, love this recipe. I had a hubbard squash sitting on the counter and decided to use it instead of butternut squash. It worked great. Otherwise, I made everything to spec, serving it with grilled pork chops and chard sauteed with olive oil, apple, and minced garlic. My husband and I could not stop nibbling on the squash. If you don't like the flavor of blue cheese I can see someone not liking this dish however I did not feel it was overpowering at all. We both felt it was well balanced with a rich flavor that made you think you were indulging in something far worse for you than it really is. Definitely will make this again.
mariacameron Posted: 11/05/11
The adults in my family loved this - even skeptical husband who keeps telling me we should eat more veggies but then doesn't eat them when served. I need to figure out an easier way tho of peeling a butternut squash
tracyguns Posted: 11/28/11
I cooked this on Thanksgiving and everyone loved it.
JFromAnnapolis Posted: 02/27/12
Thought this was good and super easy. Bought precut squash, used panko breadcrumbs, and chopped fresh rosemary instead of sage. I thought the rosemary would stand up to the blue cheese better! I also added one clove of fresh minced garlic, again, because I thought it would need some stronger flavors.
blondi6354 Posted: 01/20/13
The sage is really great in this dish. I love cheese and tend to go for a stinkier aged cheese, but unfortunately the blue cheese I chose overpowered the squash a bit. Next time I'll use a milder form.
FlyGirl1350 Posted: 11/05/12
Absolutely fantastic, but I recommend adding bacon because it needs that extra savory flavor.
Vicuska Posted: 10/24/12
This became my new favorite butternut squash recipe. Easy to make, and the taste is extraordinary. I steamed the squash a bit longer, thus reduced the baking time.
stimply Posted: 10/25/12
Nice and easy dish overall. The instructions aren't great for step 1. 'Steam until tender...' I ended up putting in the microwave for about 8 minutes. The blue cheese was a tad bit too much, and I love blue cheese. Maybe I had a particularly strong one. I want to try this again but perhaps with goat cheese or a milder blue or gorgonzola.
oldruth Posted: 09/25/12
I cook winter squash a lot of different ways, but this was our all-time favorite. I followed the recipe pretty exactly except for using panko instead of making my own bread crumbs. Also, I left the oil out of the crumbs and sprayed the casserole lightly with oil spray before putting it in the oven. We loved the combination of flavors with the fresh sage, the cheese, the onions and the squash. Fabulous. I served it with Black Lentil and Couscous Salad, and watermelon chunks. It was a satisfying vegetarian main dish.
Deanna6 Posted: 02/10/13
YUM! I toasted a lot sage in a little butter; added some to the squash, the rest to the breadcrumbs. It's amazing how much more flavor is brought out of the herb this way. Fantastic!
Nursarahh Posted: 01/20/13
Excellent favors! I used panko instead of breadcrumbs, and added some bacon like an earlier reviewer suggested. Served with salad and grilled chicken.
Keiko123 Posted: 10/14/12
Fabulous! Love the taste of the fresh sage..was worth buying a sage plant for the garden because I know we'lll be eating this again..going to use for Thanksgiving this year for sure! We aren't big bread eaters here but I was able to buy a flat Ciabatta roll at the bakery for .50 and had the clerk slice it in half as we didn't want to buy a whole loaf of bread and waste it. Found it better to steam the squash less than recommended to make it firmer as it will soften up in the oven. Excellent!
mommawoman Posted: 12/05/12
made this last night. DELICIOUS! I couldn't stop eating it. Used whole wheat bread and rosemary since I did not have sage. I did not find the 1/2 c. of blue cheese too much. Will serve for a holiday dinner in future
hmsktm Posted: 11/09/12
Absolutely delicious. My husband even loved it. Neither of us was very excited about the bread crumb topping so next time I will try it without. I also found 20 minutes too long for steaming - the squash was mushy. Next time I will try just 10 minutes so it retains its shape.
ccrider1 Posted: 10/17/13
Different than any butternut squash dish I've ever tried. The blue cheese and onions impart unique savory characteristics. I slightly modified the recipe by sauteing the onions with approximately two-thirds cup pancetta. I used half the amount of dried sage and seasoned the bread crumbs with a little nutmeg and melted butter instead of oil. Not quite as light but really delicious!

Trail conditions: In the morning, the Trail was muddy in places, but mostly dry. Lots of roots and a good amount of rocks all day. Very muddy, of course, during the rain. Around the Jumpoff the Trail became very rugged with massive boulders requiring careful, slow navigation, often employing hand-holds.

Happenings at home: Archer's broken arm is healing; Josie is waiting on him hand and foot. (We're such lucky parents to have such sweet kids!)
Companions (TH for thru-hikers): Wolf, Super Wolf, and three other thru-hikers whose names I didn't catch.
Trail Magic: Dad and Beanie slacking me and putting me up in a hotel!
Flora: Spring is about to pop! Green leaves are beginning to show on trees at the lower elevations. However, something is also killing a large number of deciduous trees of all varieties in this section of the Trail. Moss and lichen seem to be strangling entire mountains worth of trees. Pretty depressing.
Fauna: Throughout journey I keep hearing a deep, barely audible, low frequency sound that vibrates the ground with a "whomp, whomp, whom, wh, wh, wh, wh," and I'd sure like for someone out there to tell me what it is. It sounds like something is banging the ground, like a jackrabbit. The sound is too deep to be a woodpecker.
Vistas: Great views today from Copper Ridge Bald, Rocky Bald, and especially from the observation tower at Wesser Bald. I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I actually Skyped with Archer from atop the Wesser Bald observation tower; I just wanted someone else to experience it with me! (I hope the video below plays!)
Attractions: All the vistas above and finishing at the NOC.
State of body: Despite the long descents today I'm feeling pretty good. Of course, having a light pack helps!
State of mind: I'm feeling really positive. Happy to be able to spend time with Dad and Beanie.
Lessons learned/confirmed today:
- Every day brings pain and sore muscles. But every morning I'm feeling better and ready to go again. This pattern is not abnormal.
- Massaging the feet and sore, stiff muscles really aids the healing process.
- Today's descents were excruciating. I thought the one from Rocky Bald to Telico Gap was bad enough, but the last 5 miles (from the Jump Off to the NOC) was wicked! Imagine walking down one continuous flight of stairs for 2.5 hours. Then imagine that every so often 6 or 7 steps are removed and you have to clamber down. Then imagine that every so often there are no steps but rather a slick, smooth incline of rocks and dirt and leaves. Oh, add to that an hour of a good, soaking rain. That is what the end of my day was like.
- The signature dessert of ice cream, granola, cranberries, caramel, and chocolate at the Riverside Restaurant is a must have treat!
Droid Phone Notes: Nothing of note here; recharging every night in the hotel room.

I would have to beg to differ, actually.
If Mr Casual is OK with not going on the raids, I fail to see the harm with letting him remain in the guild for social reasons.
While I've seen problems of the "we don't have enough warm bodies to field two raid teams, even if we have enough *characters* to do so", as long as you make sure the guild knows that the Hardcore raid gets priority, you might even get a 'casual' raid group going.

Add to them 49ers-Seahawks, with a history of nastiness emanating from the college ranks for their coaches, and a hefty animosity built up in annual doubleheaders in their division. Now they meet for a spot in the Super Bowl.
Are those hard feelings for real?
"I think so, but it'll always be that way when you have two good teams in the same division," 49ers receiver Anquan Boldin said. "You play each other a couple times a year and if you're good enough, possibly three times a year. It was the same way when I was in Baltimore playing against Pittsburgh. You respect each other as foes, but there is really a dislike."
It's a healthy thing, really, because it makes for even more uncompromising action — on the field and on the sideline.
One of these teams will emerge Sunday from ear-splitting CenturyLink Field headed for New Jersey to play for the sport's biggest prize. The other will carry into the offseason even more loathing for this opponent.
"There is no love lost; there is no love found," said Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, who will find himself lined up often against Boldin in the NFC championship game. "It's going to be intense. It's going to be physical. I don't know if there are going to be handshakes after this one."
That almost goes without saying with the coaches. When 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was at Stanford — where, incidentally, Sherman played after being recruited by current Seahawks coach Pete Carroll when he was at Southern California — he ran up the score in a 2009 win at Los Angeles that prompted Carroll to ask him at game's end: "What's your deal?"
Harbaugh's deal has always revolved around being a hard-edged player and coach. His teams embody that attitude, and it certainly has worked in San Francisco. The 49ers are 41-13-1 in his three seasons in charge, are in their third straight conference title game, and back down from no one.
That can make for some uncomfortable moments, whether it's Harbaugh's overzealous handshakes and back slaps after wins or his team playing up to (and sometimes beyond) the whistle.
Carroll claims the acrimony between them is overblown.
"For whatever reasons, you guys have had a field day with this," Carroll told reporters Thursday. "We have not been friends over the year, we just know each other through the games. We have a very confined relationship.
"I have great respect for Jim. That's it — you guys have had a blast with it."
Carroll's Seahawks aren't exactly wallflowers, either. Defensively, at least, these are the NFL's two most physical and intimidating units.
That, in turn, can lead to ill will.
"I don't hate anybody," All-Pro cornerback Sherman said. "So I don't think [there's] hate. But passion, definitely. There will be some passion, some dislike — some strong dislike. But there will be some intensity. It's playoff football.
"So even if we weren't two teams that are familiar with each other … there's going to be a lot of intensity, a lot of chippiness, and a hard-fought game."

Raw Vegan Pizza with Walnut Crust (Recipe)
Raw Thin-Mint Brownies
- 1 cup walnuts (120g)
- 1 and 1/3 cups pitted dates (230 grams) (I highly recommend Sunmaid, because they're softer.)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoons cocoa powder
- A few drops pure peppermint extract (depending on how minty you want them… Start with less; you can always add more.)
- Optional: for even more chocolate flavor, add chocolate chips. Or add cacao nibs.
- Optional: tiny dash of salt (I always add this and recommend it.)
Directions: Combine all ingredients, using a food processor. (No need to blend the dates first; I just blend everything all at once. But if you use a Magic Bullet, you might want to do it in batches. I've not tried this in a regular blender and therefore can't vouch for it.) Form into brownies or balls or bars… or even cookie-cuttered shapes!

1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon yacon syrup or agave
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
3 teaspoons tamari
1/2 a garlic clove
1/2 a small de-seeded chili

Yesterday we managed another successful day off Cape Hatteras, despite marginal working conditions (Beaufort Sea State 4 for much of the day). We had four sightings – each of a different species – and managed to deploy two satellite-linked tags and obtain two biopsy samples.
Our first encounter was with approximately 30 offshore bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) near the shelf break, approximately 35 miles from shore. The animals were playing with Sargassum – tossing pieces of it in the air and draping it over their dorsal fins. We deployed a single location-only satellite tag on an animal in this group and obtained two biopsy samples from well-marked animals to confirm the ecotype of this group.
We then ran into about 160 short-beaked common dolphins (Delphinus delphis). These are winter visitors to our area, soon to depart for New England and waters further north. They love to bow ride and were playing with Sargassum. We contemplated deploying one of the small location-only tags, but it was rough and the group was a little chaotic, so we decided to just enjoy the show instead.
The common dolphins led us to pilot whales and, after some effort, we were able to deploy a location-only tag on an animal in this group of about 32 individuals. The pilot whales were also playing with Sargassum (it was that kind of a day).
We were still working with the pilot whales when we spotted a group of five Cuvier's beaked whales surfacing nearby. Remarkably, the group contained the animal that we had tagged earlier this week, although the composition of the group seemed to have changed as it contained two heavily scarred animals, presumably adult males.
We approached for photos and were that close from deploying a second satellite-linked dive recorder on one of the adult males. We are getting great data from the first tagged beaked whale – with some dives to more than 2,000 m. Very cool. And nice that we have seen Ziphius on all four field days so far, confirming what Joy Stanistreet is hearing on her bottom-mounted High Frequency Acoustic Recording Package off Cape Hatteras.
We have a few weather days ahead of us this week but hope to be back on the water on Memorial Day weekend (always a crazy time to be offshore), so stay tuned for more updates.

The Assertive Self, part two
All Western institutions were reshaped by the assertive self. We have discussed the ideology's revision of art; now, this writer will consider its transformation of science. Before the early modern period, most scientists in the West were Aristotelian in method. These people sought knowledge—generally as an end in itself—of the essence and telos of every natural entity. Experimentation was rare because of Aristotle's belief that artificial conditions obscured the truth of nature. As the assertive self took hold of Western culture, the Aristotelian method was displaced by a new science whose goal was not speculative but practical: the prediction and control of the natural world.

Worth County - - A serious wreck in Worth County Sunday afternoon sends several people to two different hospitals.
It happened on Highway 313 and Georgia 300 around 5 o'clock.
Troopers say the driver of a red pick up truck was headed north on 300 when she ran into a white truck in the turn lane.
The crash injured seven people including some teenagers returning from a church camping trip.
We're told several of them are in serious condition and one has a broken hip. They were taken to Phoebe and Crisp Regional Hospital.
An eight month old baby was in the white truck, but he was not injured.
No one has been cited yet, but troopers say they are still investigating the crash.

My connecting time is 44 min. Will I have to collect my bags and is this enough time?DebTue, Sep 30Yes, you will pre-clear US Immigration and customs in Ottawa. Also there is a good chance your Ottawa flight will arrive in Terminal A. If so you will have to take the United shuttle bus to Terminal C for your flight to SFO. You will not have to take your baggage. If you arrive in A it will be tough to make your connection, but possible. If you miss your connection it's not a huge problem as United has many EWR-SFO flights.ZAPTue, Sep 30

Which gives me 80 Minutes - reading the above comments worries me that won't make my connection flight .bbeckersTue, Sep 30Yes, that is below the minimum International->Domestic connection time at EWR by 10 minutes. You can contact who you booked the ticket through, notify them of that, and ask to be rebooked on a later flight to Orlando, or you can try it, it's certainly possible, and if you miss it you will be rebooked on the next flight to Orlando. United has many Newark-Orlando flights.ZAPTue, Sep 30

We Will Have to Wait for the Revenge
It wasn't an utter humiliation this time, and for that I'm glad. But when I re-raised Jacsup with middle-connectors, and unfortunately enough ran into aces, it was all over. He made trip deuces on the river and I went out in 7th place. So much for the revenge.
So, the second Le Cheese Challenge is over.
Here comes a brief recap of the event after my sad departure:
When the game was four handed, Katitude lost in a brutal way. She was all in pre-flop with QQ against Jackup's Tc8c. On the flop, Kat was in good shape with her over-pair, but the turn and river changed it all – T T – typically full tilt, so rigged and all that.
Please visit Katitude's blog for hand history and some top-notch whining :)
Jacksup now had a bit over 20k against RakeBrain player Td8507 with 13k and Huntsvegas with 5k, and as the true gentlemen they are, they spent the following ten minutes swapping blinds with each other.
When the blinds were 250 – 500 (Omaha,) td8597 busted hutsvegas. They were all in pre-flop with AQQx against 3456 or something like that. Anyway, the board was all high cards and jacksup and td8597 could go into heads-up mode pretty even in chips.
A bit later, td8507 managed to get paid off with a full house and established a 3 to 1 chip lead.
In the last hand, td8507 bet out on the flop: 4h 7h 6d, and Jacksup raised all-in with a straight draw – Qd 5s. Td8507 called with 9h 3h.
The turn and river came: 9c Jc, and td8507 won the tournament with a little pair of nines.
Thanks everybody for a great tournament and see ya'll next time.

LOL...TY for the great game! It really was a lot of fun. And I prefer to think of it as bitching rather than whining *grin. One day I will learn not to post while tilting

Yep, got that one thanks @birdleader
Since the premium membership stuff was first talked about here, I figured you all might want to be the first to see: http://www.angrybirdsnest.com/uncaged/. Would love to know what you all think (oh, and feel free to sign up and give it a go). :)
Looking good @birdleader . I've just signed up for a year – and am the proud owner of your 'apology' screen!!! Looking forward to the perks etc but hey I'd have signed up anyway for the 'support the Nest' aspect.
Good on yer!
Hi @birdleader, I also signed up for a year. Yes!
It seems there's no automated goodness… I'm still looking at adverts. I trust that you do have sufficient information to sort out who sent what. I see that you have to be logged in to buy a membership… presumably the payment details include our ABN IDs.
May you get so many paying members that the administration becomes a PITA!
Hey @birdleader don't worry, I got through ok, and arrived at the page saying there were no perks yet and it'd take time to set up my profile. All is good!!!!
Not sure when this was added, but I just noticed that when I hover my mouse over my scores in the leaderboards, it shows the date and time of when I entered the score. Pretty cool!
(of course, this was done on a PC version, not sure how to hover a non existant mouse over my scores on my phone)
@sparty83 Good eye! Just yesterday, and correct there is no way to hover on mobile.
About mouse over action on score, I using USB OTG with mouse didn't work, nothing happen, but other site (mean other that ABN) it work. Any website script prevent it?
@sparty83 and @amslimfordy, re: hover on mobile — in "real" life, I consult as a User Experience Designer, and most of my projects these days are "responsive design", meaning they are designed from the beginning to work across devices, from desktop, to tablets, to smartphones. It's a brave new world for me, with many, many aggravating things like hovering that you have to design around. But I expect all my projects to be responsive from now on, so after 15 years of designing website interactions, I have to start over and learn a completely new way of designing! Quite humbling to go from a very senior rock-star who's done it all, to a complete novice again. Good for strengthening one's character.
@amslimfordy, you guys have been way ahead of the curve with responsive design, and have done a great job — I really admire the work you've done! I access ABN on my Windows 7 laptop, my iPad mini, and my Samsung Android S4, and I never feel like things are any different on any device. I think @sparty83 found a really rare exception.
I'm very lucky to have a wonderful developer who saves my behind whenever I try to use an old interaction "pattern" that is not going to work on a mobile device. It's a steep learning curve. My current project not only has to be a responsive website, it has to meet very strict 508 and WCAG 2.0 standards for accessibility for people with disabilities — that's another eye-opener.
It's still the Wild Wild West out there for responsive design, and very few websites make the grade. You guys deserve enormous kudos for your work; I'm going to start using ABN as one of my standard best-practice examples.
Although you're going to have to fix that hover feature now. :-)
@junkenmetel Thanks for the kind works. My dream is to make ABN fully-responsive and have it render beautifully on all devices. Some day. I will definitely need to figure out a solution for the lack of tooltip support on mobile.

The Day The Earth Smiled: Cassini images our planet from Saturn, we spy Saturn from the Earth
On July 19, 2013, the Cassini spacecraft, currently in orbit around Saturn, will be turned to image that planet and its entire ring system during an eclipse of the sun, as it has done twice before during its previous 9 years in orbit.
But this time will be very different. This time, the images collected will capture, in natural color, a glimpse of our own planet alongside Saturn and its rings on a day that will be the first time the Earth's inhabitants know in advance their picture is being taken from a billion miles away.
This event is organized by The Day The Earth Smiled and Astronomers Without Borders, with the support of several partners.
For such a historic event, on 19 July 2013, starting at 19:30 UT, the Virtual Telescope will share live images of Saturn on its WebTV: while Cassini will be imaging us, we will look in its direction!
To join, just enter at the given date/time the live page here!
