Four games on Friday
Colville picked up an important Junior American Legion Baseball (AA) sweep over visiting Northwest Christian last Friday at Hofstetter Park before the thunderstorms and monsoons hit.
Colville (6-0) had to come from behind to win both games.
In the opener, starter Austin Hegney pitched the first five innings and was sharp. Hegney surrendered three unearned runs in the NWC first inning, but he and Colville were solid after that in a 9-3 win.
Hegney went five innings and struck out seven to pick up the win. He issued one walk and scattered two hits.
Colville broke the game open with a six-run rally in the fifth inning. Key blows were Austyn PetersonŌĆÖs two-run double down the third base line and Tevyn HollingŌĆÖs RBI single.
Casey Hartinger pitched the final two innings to pick up the save. Hartinger didnŌĆÖt give up a hit and struck out five.
Lukyn HollingŌĆÖs walk-off grand slam home run capped another late rally in the second game and lifted Colville to a 7-5 win.
ŌĆ£That one didnŌĆÖt look good,ŌĆØ Colville coach Boo Morrison said of Colville being on the short end of a 5-3 score heading into the bottom of the seventh inningŌĆöor the looming thunderstorm.
With torrential rains looming on the horizon, catcher Jesse Morrison got the seventh inning started with a single. After a Jacob Morris fly-out, Morrison stole second base. Peterson singled to centerfield, putting runners at the corners. Peterson promptly stole second base and Colton Vining, in a great at bat, worked the count full and drew a walk to load the bases for Holling, who hit the second pitch over the left-field fence. It was his first home run.
ŌĆ£Talk about great timing there,ŌĆØ Morrison said. ŌĆ£Five minutes later it was raining hard.ŌĆØ
Ben Knight got the second game start for Colville. He surrendered two runs, three hits and struck out one. Chris Boggs got in an inning of work before Lukyn Holling finished the game.
Holling got plenty of help from his defense in the form of a pair of double plays. Morrison also threw out a pair of base-runners.
Holling was fashionably wild, issuing six walks in his three-inning stint.
Colville is at Riverside on Wednesday for a doubleheader that starts at 4 p.m. On Friday, the local AA club will be at Shadle Park (Al Jackson Field) for four games against Shadle Park (doubleheader that starts at 1 p.m.). Single games will follow against Rogers and Riverside (5 and 7 p.m.).
The Colville vs. Shadle Park match-up will pit the divisionŌĆÖs top two teams. Shadle is two games back in the loss column to Colville.
ColvilleŌĆÖs games last Saturday were postponed because of rain and wet grounds.

The world is better when we share our visions, our goals, and our future.
Yesterday was our first site visit with Aangan Trust. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what Aangan does, they work with state run institutions to ensure they actually take care of the children. Many of the homes are in jail-like conditions: no sanitation, few meals, and high sexual abuse. They also run community programs for rehabilitation of children from these homes and prevention so at-risk youth have appropriate community support to avoid the system altogether. So Shakti, the girls program, helps introduce empowerment so girls join together to make their communities better.
Carole and I took a cab to meet our Aangan Shakti lead at Sandherst Station. The ride itself was a wave of industry. Men carrying large beams, sweating through their shirts pushing giant wheelbarrows of metal. Half the road was unpaved so the force of a million strained travelers urging on the traffic as we attempted to reach on time but were delayed. Pakistani flags waving proudly, and the one undusted item in the whole sky, the mosque, begging us for a prayer. Men made noises at us through the cab windows and we tried to avoid their glances. Open-air shaving stations held man after man, and groups spitting their tobacco while watching us onwards. We hid beneath our sunglasses and laughed in the uncomfort of the situation.
We arrived at Sandherst, which intersects both the Western and Harbor train lines. Imagine a giant wishbone, begging to be cracked in the middle and breaking someone around the middle. Western and Central lines support the deepest wishes of the city. And Harbor Line, the one we were taking, represents the breaking point for so much of the city's population. Hard-cut steel continued to hit my head as I was too tall for the cars meant for a people who were not heard by the city. The creature comforts of both Central and Western lines are forgotten, and left to rot on the passing heaps of trash as you ride by, watching children and men alike play in areas where rusty nails and bad water flows.
At Govandi we arrived, and crossed the train tracks to enter the community to find a nearby rickshaw. I imagined myself being hit by a train as there are signs everywhere detailing how many people died this year attempting to cross the train tracks. Nearly 600. We packed like sardines into a shared rickshaw with six passengers total in a space really meant for three comfortably. As we left the rickshaw, I was overwhelmed with the feeling of being in a panopticon. I was naked.
Small children and men followed us to our destination, a two-story flat which houses a workshop down below and a three-room center up above. The stairs leading up to the second story are blockaded by giant bags of Jaypee cement which is making the vertical walk up the stairs even more difficult. My head continues to hit uncovered wires, and we enter into the Shakti space which is one of the three rooms above. The other two are filled to the brim with something out of a second-hand store: Samsung tvs, chairs, ripped up furniture, and peaking behind the window I spot a Scholastic book, "How to Be an Artist". I smile at this one, and head back to the room we are supposed to be meeting two peer leaders in. My roommate realizes I am bleeding and our coworker showing concern. I'm embarrassed my leg has now become a burden to someone other than myself. I change the subject, and begin discussing the art. "Michael Jackson drawings are more important than my blood," I think silently to myself. Finally the two girls arrived and after short five minutes we headed to another space after they restored their veils.
Our next stopping ground appeared to be a one-room schoolroom, with bright blue walls and hand-paintings of Spiderman, Donald Duck, and Mickey Mouse on the walls. We laid out a mat on the concrete and waited for the younger four girls from the community who were beginning one of their first Shakti sessions. As the girls arrived my smile could not stop growing.
We began discussing issues in the community, such as eve teasing. Eve teasing for my American friends, is sexual harassment named after the master temptress herself, Eve. I understand. Happiness filled my heart as we passed around a stamp pad with a flower imprint, and each girl impressed the flower as a sign of sisterhood on the next person in the circles hand. Although I can't understand a lot of what is being said, I began closing my eyes to imagine what my dreams for the community is. My life. I cheat and open my eyes, as I always seem to do. Some of the girls say college. Some say family. They put stickers on workbook pages of women they identify with: women on computers, dancing, and swimming in a race.
The group decides to name themselves "Peace", in Urdu. They make designs with markers that look as if the ivy can jump off the page of their creation. One of the girls begins lying on my feet and I feel like I am apart of something truly special. She is shy and doesn't draw, as she doesn't feel like she is as good of an artist as the other three. Instead they ask her to draw the flowers imprinted on our hands, and after one of the girls forces theirs out I join my hand as well. She moves the other girls hand out of the way so only mine is left to imitate. She looks down and the other girl takes over the rest of the composition. I fall in love with this girl in particular. She is innocent. She is beautiful. She is shy. She is worthy of the whole world, and she desires for more. She does not know how amazing she is to me.
We put on our shoes, and leave with the two peer leaders to check out a new space we may be moving Shakti to. The keys are being held by two other peer leaders, and the process of putting shoes on and off begins. We arrive, shoes off. We leave, shoes on. Then we have to wait for another girl, shoes off. Then she arrives, shoes on. I am always last to leave since my shoes are not so convertible. I look down the way to see goats eating grass, and men in a barbers station watching me.
The new space is surrounded by women working on beadwork, one holding a baby on her hip, and these same Pakistani flags flying proudly over us. We enter to find a man who is reworking the rooms, and more of that Jaypee cement. My mind rushes back to a painting from MC Escher, Relativity. The girls wind toward the sky, and I see a million possibilities for our lives, the reality, and the future. I began questioning why I have been borne to the life I have. We reach a beautiful rooftop and I say thanks. Thanks to God for this moment. Thanks to God my leg has not fallen off. Thanks to God I am here, with these people, in this place, and that I can share this story with you now.
Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths;
Our bruised arms hung up for monuments;
Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings,
Our dreadful marches to delightful measures.
Grim-visaged war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front;
And now, instead of mounting barded steeds
To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,
He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I, that am rudely stamp'd, and want love's majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;
I, that am curtail'd of this fair proportion,
Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,
Deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my time
Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,
And that so lamely and unfashionable
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them;
Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace,
Have no delight to pass away the time,
Unless to spy my shadow in the sun
And descant on mine own deformity:
And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover,
To entertain these fair well-spoken days,
I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days.
Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous,
By drunken prophecies, libels and dreams,
To set my brother Clarence and the king
In deadly hate the one against the other:
And if King Edward be as true and just
As I am subtle, false and treacherous,
This day should Clarence closely be mew'd up,
About a prophecy, which says that 'G'
Of Edward's heirs the murderer shall be.
Dive, thoughts, down to my soul: here
Clarence comes.

Sassy waxed on poetically about onions, one of my favorite vegetables, but I feel the need to shine the spotlight on another classic: the incredible egg. You could say that I inherited my love for eggs, and that I was practically raised on eggs. Omelets and scrambled eggs were the few things my mom would make for breakfast for me, as she had a firm distaste for staying in the kitchen for too long. I was the only kid in grade school who actually liked her egg salad sandwiches, making me the butt of many jokes but I didn't care as I looked at my friend's sad and pathetic bologne sandwiches. Later, as I got older, I discovered the joy of a simple egg sandwich a la McDonalds, which fueled many mornings after late high school nights filled with debauchery. Nowadays, I can eat fried eggs on top of pizza, toast. You name it, I'll do it.
The oozing yolk, the soft and pliable whites… I get happy just thinking about it.
In these budget-friendly times, I am looking for more affordable dinner options, items that will work for leftovers and work lunches. Which brings me to this Baked Egg Custard from Everyday Food. It will successfully use up everything in your fridge, creating a damn good dinner that will wow friends/family. It's pretty flexible and adaptable to your needs. Have I won you over yet?
Originally, I had planned on making a much more fancified quiche, with crust and the whole nine yards. Can you imagine a better dinner dish than a creamy egg custard baked perfectly in a buttery and savory crust? I think not. But apparently I lack the proper planning skills to actually do that and forgot that the dough for the tart needs to be prepped and chilled… Oh well, next time I will do it up right.
I made this crustless quiche-like dinner on a particularly cold Wednesday evening. Shivering and tired, I threw the ingredients together, modifying the recipe to fit my fridge. Are you ready for the modifications? Because I played with this recipe quite a bit. I swapped out half-n-half, and used whole milk instead. I added in chopped onions and a little garlic, just to make things interesting. I also left out the goat cheese as I start gagging whenever I near the stuff, and put some shredded sharp cheddar cheese in its place. Lastly, I had a store-bought roasted chicken that was practically picked to pieces but had some redeeming parts. I tossed in about 3 ounces of shredded roasted chicken, which was a great idea because it gave the quiche such flavor and depth. But remember to shred the pieces as small as possible because if the pieces are too long, you will have major problems cutting the quiche in to pieces.
Phew. Did you keep up with that? I basically re-invented the recipe while keeping the proportions of egg/milk/cheese the same. I was worried that the change in milk would disturb the quiche's texture but it all worked out for the best. I kid you not, the minute this came out of the oven, I started salivating. The aroma of the chicken with the cheese and onions was insanely delicious. If it was raining outside, I bet my neighbors would have wandered over, hoping to grab a slice. The best part was that I was able to freeze half of the quiche and save if for another rainy day. It was leftover heaven. with a big plate of vegetables or salad, this crustless quiche will soon be an everyday favorite of yours, I guarantee.
The original recipe is over here, and I am going to show my modifications since there were so many.
Crustless Chicken Quiche
Adapted from: Everyday Food
Yield: Serves 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 35 to 40 minutes
● Butter, at room temperature, for dishes
● 6 large eggs
● 1/2 cup half-and-half or whole milk
● Coarse salt and ground pepper
● 1 large onions, chopped in to small pieces
● 4 ounces (1 cup) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
● 1/2 cup chopped scallions
● 3 ounces roasted chicken, shredded in to small pieces
● 1 cup frozen vegetables, like peas, corn, carrots, etc.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate (or four 10-ounce ramekins or custard cups) with butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set plate aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half or milk, 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the vegetables, cheddar cheese, chopped onions, and scallions. Place pie plate (ramekins or custard cups) on a rimmed baking sheet; pour egg mixture into pie plate (or ladle into ramekins or cups).
Bake until eggs are set and tops are golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm. If you are freezing the quiche, make sure you wrapped the quiche with plastic wrap, and place in a freezable bag. To reheat, warm in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I've always thought it was funny that so many players referred to the night elves as "hippies," given their history in the lore. I mean, yeah, they do seem to believe in peace and love, but that's usually their third tactic, after they've tried murder and explosions.
The thing is, though, they've mellowed a LOT since joining the Alliance. Other than a few quests in Ashenvale to kill some defenseless orc woodcutters, they pretty much remain hippy-dippy through all of Vanilla WoW and Burning Crusade (and aren't really seen in Wrath of the Lich King).
I blame this primarily on Knaak, who reduced Tyrande from insane psychotic killing machine to cookie-baking housewife.

Things Penn Is Building And Isn't Building But Should Be Building
Campus is definitely alive with the sweet sound of jackhammers. It seems like everywhere we turn, a new building is popping up and it's hard to keep them all straight. Penn has put over 60 MIL of our (parents', donors') hard-earned $$$ into 40 construction sites since this summer alone.

Jesus have we been thirsty lately. Ever since Nanny Bloomberg told us that we couldn't drink soda in 48 oz. Big Gulps, the way that nature intended, we've been avoiding liquids in general. Of course, that makes washing down various Doritos-flavored tacos a little harder, and is constantly drying us out. But what else were we going to drink? What else was there?
Then an angel, in the form of a judge, told the Mayor he could sit and spin on his soda ban and gave freedom back to New Yorkers. But while we were watching the news, we heard something strange: people advocating other forms of liquid to pour into your mouth? This was news to us! So we set out on a price check: what do these things that are not soda cost to drink? (more…)

The Hoklo people or Hokkien people (endonym Hok-ló lâng, Hō-ló lâng, or Ho̍h-ló lâng) are Han Chinese people whose traditional ancestral homes are in southern Fujian of South China. They are also known by various endonyms (above), or other related terms such as Min-nan people (閩南人) or Hokkien Lang (福建人).
In a narrow scope, "Hoklo people" refers mainly to people who speak and use the Hokkien dialect of Min Nan Chinese spoken in southern Fujian, Taiwan, and by many overseas Chinese throughout Southeast Asia.
In a wider scope, "Hoklo people" can include speakers of other Min Nan languages, such as Zhongshan Min, Zhenan Min, Teochew dialect, and Hainanese.[1]
In general, the Hoklo people can refer to one of the following:
Malaysia Hoklo or Malaysian Hokkien[edit]
The Hoklo or Hokkien make up one of the Malaysian Chinese groups. There are also Hokkien or Hoklo among the Chinese Indonesians.
Chinese characters for Hoklo[edit]
In Taiwan, there are three common ways to write Hoklo in Chinese characters (Min Nan pronunciations are given in POJ):
- 福佬 (Hok-ló; lit. "Fujian folk") – emphasizes their connection to Fujian province.
- 河洛 (Hô-lo̍k; lit. "Yellow River and Luo River") – emphasizes their purported long history originating from the area south of the Yellow River. This Han-character reading does not reflect the actual pronunciation in the southern-Chinese languages but only in Mandarin. It is likely a result of folk etymology.
- 鶴佬 (Ho̍h-ló; lit. "crane folk") – emphasizes the modern pronunciation of the characters (without regard to the meaning of the Chinese characters). This variant is used by the Chinese Wikipedia version of this article.
In Hakka, Hoklo may be written as 學老 (lit. "learned aged") and 學佬 (lit. "learned folk").
Despite many ways to write Hoklo in Chinese, many Taiwanese will use the term Hō-ló to refer to the language and Hoklo culture. The Taiwanese government recognizes the 河洛 variant (Hô-ló).[2]

Panera's Kumbayah Moment
Gerelyn is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Panera Bread (NASDAQ: PNRA), through its philanthropic arm -- the Panera Bread Foundation -- is nearing the grand opening of a Panera Cares Cafe' in the heart of downtown Boston. It's the fifth such donation-based restaurant Panera has opened in the past several years. Instead of attaching prices to menu items, Panera merely makes suggestions for the value of the meals being offered. These cafe locations don't even own any cash registers and defer to donation jars instead.
It could be a disaster, but Panera Cares locations manage to bring in three-quarters of the sales of traditional Panera Bread restaurants, according to the Boston Globe cited in Modern Baking. As it turns out, the 60 percent of people who pay the recommended menu prices coupled with the 20 percent who pay more than suggested retail compensate for the one-fifth of people who pay nothing at all.
2013 Roadmap
Before moving ahead, let's take a look in the rear-view mirror. In 2012, Panera was on track to open as many or more new store units than had been projected. The anticipated range was between 115 and 120 new systemwide openings, and in the 3Q alone the restaurant debuted 36 new bakery-cafe units between company-owned and franchised units.
In 2013, Panera rival Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) expects to open between 165 and 180 new units. The high end of that range represents a 13% increase over 2012, according to a recent Barron's article, and nearly doubles Panera's plans in terms of unit growth. Nonetheless, Chiptole -- even with its roll-out of Southeast Asian cuisine restaurants -- is coming from a lower base than Panera.
For instance, through the first nine months of 2012, Panera had a total of 1,625 restaurants compared with Chipotle's 1,350 in the same period.
Unit Growth*
*Source: Panera Bread and Chipotle 3Q earnings results
Like Panera Bread, Chipotle also runs its own foundation. The Chipotle Cultivate Foundation, which was established by Chipotle Mexican Grill, has deposited millions of dollars toward sustainability in agricultural development. Chipotle's for-profit organization looks like a growth opportunity in 2013.
After one year of testing its casual Asian concept, Chipotle is positioned to open maiden locations in the U.S. in 2013. The company already operates two ShopHouse restaurants in Washington D.C., and expects to open a third such location in Los Angeles in the first quarter. Although the Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurants remain the primary growth engine for the company, Chipotle is seeing considerable demand for its Asian food, as well.
The Barron's article suggests that Chipotle will be rolling out price increases this year amid an anticipated increase in food costs stemming from the food inflation brought about by last year's drought. Chipotle, however, has experienced better pricing than expected in items such as avocados and as a result may benefit from less inflation than expected. At the same time, Chipotle is rolling out new products and is focused on improving its margins.
Panera Bread and Chipotle both trade at high valuations of 30 and 34, respectively. They each have ambitious plans for 2013. Panera Bread, for instance, intends to grow its profits between 17-19% in 2013 compared with 2012 levels while Chipotle is focused on creating stand-alone restaurant locations and opening new stores. The wind appears to be blowing in their direction for both of these growth stocks.
A more reasonable valuation can be found in Buffalo Wild Wings (NASDAQ: BWLD), which has a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 25. It's still a growth stock but may have more room to run than its peers. It is also a stock that's good enough for several hedge-fund managers, including Steve Cohen's SAC Capital advisors, according to a recent MarketWatch article. Higher food inflation took a toll on this restaurant's profit margins toward the end of 2012. Indeed, in November alone, chicken prices were 6.2% more than 2011 levels, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
Football season, while almost over, is associated with buffalo wings and it should prove to be a good period for Buffalo Wild Wings in 4Q and 2013 1Q quarterly results. Like Panera and Chipotle, this company too is in growth mode, and anticipates it could have 1,000 restaurants open by the end of 2013, which is not the saturation point for Buffalo Wild Wings (the company ultimately foresees some 1,700 restaurant locations flurried throughout North America.)
It seems the only thing missing at Buffalo Wild Wings that its peers have is a foundation, although the chicken restaurant does seem to partner with numerous philanthropic causes.

Have you ever read anything so honest and so pure that you cannot keep reading it all the way through? You have to stop- to take a break. Set it down. Pick it up. Re-read a line. Read a paragraph. The cycle repeats. It hits you in such a way, that you wonder if this is something your very own heart wrote. You wonder if it's really possible that someone, somewhere feels the same way, and you wonder how strange it is that your struggles aren't nearly as unique as you thought.
You breathe. You think. You read. You cry.
Someone else's honesty breaks your heart- it changes you. It makes you want to be more you, it makes you want to quit lying to yourself.
It makes you want to live.
- do all of my work
- don't stress
- hide out in my room
- ignore people
- drink more tea

Hide the kids, the King of Pop is making a comeback
Michael Jackson will perform 10 concerts in London this summer in a comeback aimed at restoring his tarnished King of Pop crown. My guess is that if these concerts go well there will be more.
Jackson, 50, has been known in recent years mostly for his eccentric behavior, changing appearance and faltering health. He has not toured since his 82-date world tour in 1996-97, which grossed $178 million. His last studio album was 2001's Invincible. A much-hyped concert at the 2006 World Music Awards in London ended in disappointment, with Jackson muttering just a few bars We Are the World. Several other comeback projects, including a Jackson 5 reunion, never materialized.
But now, Jackson has a major incentive to return to the stage: money. Once one of the world?s wealthiest entertainers, Jackson has struggled with financial difficulties since 2003, when he began battling child-molestation allegations. After his acquittal in 2005, he fell deeper into seclusion and debt. In November, he defaulted on a $24.5 million loan owed on his Neverland ranch. That same month, he settled a lawsuit with the Prince of Bahrain, who sued the singer for $7 million he had invested in projects that were subsequently abandoned.

Top All-Time Toronto Maple Leafs by Jersey Numbers
(Dave Andreychuk, Jonas Hogland, Miroslav Frycer)
No doubt John Tory would be the first guy voted off the island
Perhaps his die was cast when he first decided to run for the leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative party following the resignation of Ernie Eves. Tory's leadership platform was based on a progressive agenda and he was able to hold off right wing challenges from Jim Flaherty and Frank Klee. However, it's not clear that the party was prepared to shift to the centre of the political spectrum. To make matters worse for Tory, Premier Dalton McGuinty was comfortably occupying the centre which made it difficult for Tory to differentiate his platform from the Liberal's.
He won a by-election in 2005 in the safest Conservative seat in the province – Dufferin-Peel-Wellington-Grey. But he made the first of several blunders at the start of the 2007 election campaign. Instead of sticking to this safe seat, he decided to run in a riding in Toronto. The idea of representing an urban Toronto riding had obvious appeal to Tory since his constituents better reflected his values and lifestyle so he chose Don Valley West which where he lived much of his life. However, in doing so he ran against a popular Liberal cabinet minister Kathleen Wynne.
His platform was not very distinguishable from the Liberal platform and the campaign would have largely been based on the leaders' personal appeal if not for one issue. For some reason John Tory decided to include funding for faith-based schools in his platform. It's not clear why he felt the need to include this issue in his platform – maybe he was desperate to find a policy that was distinguishably different to the Liberal position. That issued polarized voters and guaranteed another Liberal majority.
In the meantime he might have recovered politically if he had won a seat in the election but he didn't. Losing the election and his riding was in fact his political death although he insisted on clinging to life support for another 18 months. He survived the threat of a leadership review but couldn't find a sitting member who would resign their seat for him. His caucus was divided over his leadership and drifting without a rudder. Finally Conservative MPP Laurie Scott resigned her seat in Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock but Tory couldn't win that seat either. To add insult to injury, the Liberals had won a by-election in a safe Conservative riding while the public was questioning their handling of the Ontario recession.
So after 4 years of invisible leadership, the Ontario Conservatives are weaker than after the defeat of the Eves government in 2003. John Tory's political legacy is an embarrassment. He lost two winnable ridings as well as a winnable election. Add to that his loss to David Miller for mayor of Toronto and the disastrous results when he chaired Kim Campbell's election campaign (the Conservative lost all but 2 seats), I'd say John Tory would likely be the first guy voted off the island if he was on the Survivor reality TV show.
TO175: Toronto turns 175 today

Since then, the city has grown from a municipality of fewer than 10,000 people, mainly from the British Isles, to a city of more than 2.5 million, with residents from virtually every country on the planet.

The recession has hit the NHL
Trade deadline day has to be just about the biggest event in the NHL calendar besides maybe the Stanley Cup finals. It's bigger than the Amateur Draft or the start of free agency because moves made on trade deadline day impact on teams immediately as opposed to several months later.
The number of transactions and the number of players moved yesterday are similar to previous years. It's just the nature of the transactions that were different. From the Maple Leafs' perspective, they couldn't have picked a worse time to begin rebuilding. A rebuild requires a stockpile of draft picks and young prospects which today are the most coveted commodities in the NHL.
The salary cap has neutralized the financial clout of the Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Rangers. The Rangers would have signed Mats Sundin if not for the salary cap. Instead they had to settle for Nik Antropov. As for the Leafs, they would never have chosen a 3-5 year rebuilding program when they could just restock their lineup with free agents. And if you make a few mistakes well then just sign some more free agents. Without the cap, hockey would look like baseball where the Yankees, Dodger and Red Sox show no restraint even during these tough economic times. So instead we saw the Leafs essentially "purchase" a fourth round pick by taking on $600,000 in salaries from cash-strapped Tampa Bay for injured players. The guys are so banged up they probably will come to town in ambulances.
Yesterday there were 22 transactions but included very few big names. No one is interested in taking on additional salary and no one really wants to part with cheap talent. So it was amazing there were even 22 transactions. A total of 21 draft picks changed hands but only 1 was in the first round. Last year at the deadline there were 4 first round picks moved. The year before there about 10 moved in the days leading to the trade deadline. A number of Cup contenders decided against making moves (Detroit, Washington, Vancouver, Montreal). There were a large group of big stars that were clearly on the market but no buyers. With so many teams in a playoff position still it was thought to be a sellers' market but it turned out to be neither. There was a lot of window shopping but you couldn't give away expensive assets.
A number of teams with serious financial problems were able to move some salaries through either the waiver wire or trades but they wish they could have done more. I expect that going into next season, there may not be any teams at the salary cap and many down near the salary floor. So it is not likely to be a good year for free agents. If Brian Burke was right about the market, don't be surprised if Dominic Moore winds up signing with the Leafs this summer.
We have not seen an economic downturn like this in our lifetime. It should be interesting on how this plays out for sports leagues and franchises in the next two years.

Southwest's plane featuring Bar Refaeli is offending passengers
Southwest Airlines has angered passengers with an image of a bikini-clad model on the side of a Boeing 737.
Describing it as 'soft porn' and offensive to families, the image features Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli, currently dating actor Leonardo DiCaprio, lying down in a brief white bikini. It is part of a promotional deal with Sports Illustrated magazine.
This is the same airline that tried to boot a woman off of one of their planes because her outfit was too skimpy. I guess what goes inside the plane is more important than was goes on the outside. Or maybe it's the big fee paid by Sports Illustrated.

Woman Calls 911 After McDonald's Runs Out Of Nuggets
Not quite a Big Mac Attack. More like Nugget Emergency.
Angered that her local McDonald's was out of Chicken McNuggets, a Florida woman called 911 three times to report the fast food "emergency." Latreasa Goodman, 27, called police to complain that a cashier--citing a McDonald's all sales are final policy--would not give her a refund. When cops responded to the restaurant, Goodman told them, "This is an emergency. If I would have known they didn't have McNuggets, I wouldn't have given my money, and now she wants to give me a McDouble, but I don't want one." Goodman noted, "I called 911 because I couldn't get a refund, and I wanted my McNuggets," according to the below Fort Pierce Police Department report.
That logic, however, did not amuse the cops who cited her for misusing the 911 system. Even after being issued a misdemeanor citation, Goodman contended, "this is an emergency, my McNuggets are an emergency." The McDonald's devotee is seen at right in a mug shot snapped after a previous encounter with police.
Oh and the manager acknowledges that the unsatisfied customer should have been given a refund. One is being mailed out along with an apology and some free voucher. See this had a happy ending after all.

Another candidate for Father of the Year
Above is the Freedom High (Bethlehem, Pa.) cheerleading team, and they had a busy December. Steven Russo, 36, has a 17-year-old son who attends Freedom, and they decided to host a party. In attendance were several Freedom cheerleaders (14 to 16 year olds). And like all good parties, it occurred in the basement and included booze and a stripper pole.
Of course photos were taken, and that they showed up on Facebook. One of the photos — showing two of the girls kissing Russo on the cheek — began circulating at school and eventually found its way to a school administrator.
Mr. Russo was subsequently arrested. Russo is charged with endangering the welfare of children, corruption of minors and other offenses. The pole-dancing 16 year old is no longer a cheerleader.

Two kids swapped for bird
A trio of Louisiana nitwits agreed to swap two young children for a $1500 cockatoo and $175. The deranged exchange was hatched after Donna Greenwell, a 51-year-old trucker, learned that the bird was being offered for sale by Brandy Romero, 27, and Paul Romero, 46. Brandy Romero told cops that Greenwell contacted her and said that while she could not afford the cockatoo's price tag, she did have children to trade (in a bid to sell the bird, the Romeros posted a flyer at a barn, where Greenwell spotted the notice, which included a photo of the cockatoo). Investigators have determined that Greenwell is not the mother of the children, a four-year-old girl and a five-year-old boy. It appears as if the children, whose mother is a criminal fugitive, have resided with various families over the past several years, and have spent the past year in the custody of Greenwell, a convicted pedophile with a lengthy rap sheet.
Mug Shot of the Week
Never seen a fight in a sledge hockey game
Film Review: Vicky Cristina Barcelona
After several years of disappointing films, Woody Allen finally returns to form with Vicky Cristina Barcelona. I had pretty much given up on him although I still caught every flick in the hopes that he would finds some inspiration. The movie is funny and I would say also his sexiest film - it smokes!
Allen has moved his latest production from London to beautiful Barcelona. As for the story it's about Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) are young American friends who are spending the summer at the vast home of Vicky's aunt in Barcelona.
The level-headed and somewhat neurotic Vicky is studying Catalan culture and preparing to marry a somewhat dull fellow-New Yorker in the financial industry, settle down in the suburbs and have babies. Christina is more moody and tempestuous with vaguely artistic aspirations and disdain for the upper-middle-class existence that Vicky aspires to.
Cristina is attracted to Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem), a Spanish painter who oozes charm - especially after she learns his ex-wife tried to kill him with a knife.
An illness temporarily sidelines Cristina and a tipsy Vicky is surprised to find herself being willingly seduced by her host. Which complicates things when Cristina recovers and moves in with Juan Antonio - and even more when Vicky's fiance arrives for an extended visit. Then one night, Juan Antonio's ex-wife Maria Elena (Penelope Cruz) tries to kill herself and the artist brings the disheveled woman home to live with him and the initially annoyed Cristina. Anyway the story just gets more and more complicated as Allen develops one of his typical love triangles (he loves them in his movies).
Woody Allen seems to get much more out of Scarlett Johansson than he did in the two earlier films with her (Scoop and Match Point). Have never seen Rebecca Hall before but she was very good as well. As for Penelope Cruz, she literally sizzled on screen. I've always found that she struggles in English-language films and does her best work in Spanish. Well in this film she mostly uses Spanish (as does Bardem) with terrific results. The Oscar was well deserved.

Consortium of 20 colleges to help Lesley share specialized knowledge, enliven the humanities.
Friday, June 20, 2014
Take it online, and interact with other students from around the country who share your enthusiasm.
Lesley University is creating online, upper-level humanities classes while making other universities' specialized subject matter available to Lesley students, as part of a 21-school, grant-funded consortium this summer.
Dr. Christine Evans, director of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences' Humanities Division, recently secured the grant for the program designed to "keep viable the upper-level courses that are essential for majors, but that almost always enroll small numbers of students."
Lesley's Dr. Mary Dockray-Miller is developing and will teach an online class in medieval history and literature. While the subject is popular among a select group of history and literature majors, and essential to completing their studies, the course typically appeals to a more narrow audience. As a result, it isn't offered every semester, or even every year.
The consortium, Dockray-Miller explains, will help create a "critical mass" of enrollment for the class, enabling Lesley students and others around the country to proceed toward their degree.
She adds that the consortium will "provide a lot of depth in our upper-level curriculum" via the other participating institutions, while helping to "enlarge the student pool."
Dockray-Miller is also excited about what the online-learning consortium will mean to her course in particular, as the Internet perfectly complements medieval scholarship by increasing access to primary sources.
"There's so much available online now, even more than a year ago," she says. Medievalists are always studying rare books and manuscripts, but rather than travel the globe to highly secured archives and libraries, "you can do it virtually" as many of those tomes are digitized.
In addition to Dockray-Miller's medieval history and literature class, new faculty member Kimberly Lowe, an assistant professor, will teach an online class in the history of humanitarian organizations and human rights. Dr. Evans says that course will cover subject matter unlikely to be offered at other participating colleges and universities and also affords an opportunity to introduce a new faculty member to the Lesley community.
Dr. Mary Coleman, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, says the professors "will have an international platform from which to teach subjects about which they are passionate and in which they invested large chunks of their lives."
"The result is clear for Lesley," Dean Coleman adds. "We will have enlivened the humanities and our capacity to reach learners in every corner of the world."
Evans adds that Lesley is happy the consortium is focused on upper-level classes, as juniors and seniors are more likely to benefit from the model than new students might be.
"A good number of students who are taking their first online course are surprised by the pace," she says.
Dockray-Miller agrees, saying, "The best online students are the ones who already know how to learn."
According to Evans, the grant of about $20,000 will support the creation of the online courses; will bring all participants together at national and regional workshops; will support the revision of the courses after their first offering; and will help us conduct an assessment of the entire endeavor.
The Consortium for Online Humanities Instruction is funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The process for this consortium begins at a Washington, D.C., workshop at the end of July 2014 and will culminate in another national workshop in 2016.
Other participating institutions are: Gordon College of Wenham, Mass.; Connecticut College and Trinity College of Connecticut; Vermont's St. Michael's College; Bethune-Cookman University of Florida; Grand View University and Wartburg College of Iowa; the University of St. Francis in Illinois; Maryland's McDaniel College; Concordia College of Minnesota; Missouri's Park University; Otterbein University and Hiram College of Ohio; Bucknell University, Elizabethtown College, Moravian College, St. Vincent College and Susquehanna University of Pennsylvania; and Augustana College of South Dakota.

Understanding Diabetes -- Diagnosis and Treatment
Alternative Medicine for Diabetes
Vitamins and Minerals
Alternative medicine should never be used alone to treat diabetes. But there are things you can do -- in addition to medication, proper diet, and exercise -- that may help control your blood sugar and prevent complications of diabetes.
Although chromium does have an effect on insulin and on glucose metabolism, there is no evidence that taking chromium supplements can help in the treatment of diabetes. But chromium is found in many healthy foods, such as green vegetables, nuts, and grains. Studies have suggested that biotin, also called vitamin H, when used with chromium, may improve glucose metabolism in people with diabetes. But no studies have shown that biotin by itself is helpful.
Vitamins B6 and B12 may help treat diabetic nerve pain if you have low levels of these vitamins and that is contributing to the nerve pain. But otherwise, there is no proof that taking these vitamins will help.
Vitamin C may make up for low blood levels of insulin, which normally works to help cells absorb the vitamin. Proper amounts of vitamin C may help the body maintain a good cholesterol level and keep blood sugar levels under control. But too much can cause kidney stones and other problems. Check with your doctor to see if a vitamin C supplement is right for you.
Vitamin E may help limit damage to the blood vessels and help protect against kidney and eye disease. But too much can lead to serious problems, such as a higher risk of stroke. Talk to your doctor before adding this supplement.
Magnesium helps control blood sugar levels. Some people with diabetes have a serious magnesium deficiency. Magnesium supplements, in this case, may improve the action of insulin.
Mind/Body Medicine
Guided imagery, biofeedback, meditation, hypnotherapy, and yoga reduce stress hormones, which in turn may help stabilize blood sugar levels. Biofeedback may also help lower blood pressure, but more research is needed to discover its role in the treatment of diabetes and high blood pressure.
Herbal Remedies
Capsaicin cream, a topical ointment made with cayenne, has been reported by some patients to help lower pain in the hands and feet from diabetic neuropathy. But people with loss of sensation in the hands or feet should use caution when using capsaicin, as they may not be able to fully feel any burning sensation. Check with your doctor if you are thinking of trying this product.
Evening primrose oil is thought to help diabetic nerve pain, but no conclusive evidence has yet been found.
Ginkgo, garlic, holy basil leaves, fenugreek seeds, ginseng, and hawthorn are other herbals that have been promoted by some as remedies for diabetic symptoms. More research is needed to see what, if any, role these herbals may play. Check with your doctor before trying any herbal product.

Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately.

A multi-part question I have been pondering for the better part of 5 years and have yet to find a definitive answer to is:
What design or graphical limitation makes it so that casters (robe and kilt wearing casters) can't wear a tabard properly? It is always tucked in and does Blizzard have plans to make it so that the tabard falls or does it involve a redesign of the graphical system?
VioletArrows said...
Probably the same graphical limitation that:
-keeps my capes floating way above my draeneis' tails or just straight out on other characters
-has my orc and draenei's braids clipping and passing through their capes
-make long weapons pass through the user's body
-makes any squishy on a mount look physically impossible (fer craps sake it's called side-saddle. or hike it up and deal)
It seems to be a problem of having two flexible layers of cloth showing somewhere at the same time. They just don't interact well. Similarly in Champions, one of my characters wears a long trenchcoat and the cloth engine is so screwy the tails get caught and clip at the knees, through his pants, at a 90 degree angle.
I imagine it's an issue that the lower part of the tabard wouldn't 'collide' with the robe and result in a mess when running and having the lower part of the tabard clipping in and out of the robe while in motion
An example being cloaks clipping through weapons and sometimes the characters legs if the players character is performing specific animations. (A long cape on my Nelf will cut through his legs when it waves back and fourth when I'm casting a spell._
But yeah more than likely a system limitation where it's just easier and neater to just tuck in the tabard. Same with dwarves when wearing most helmets where the beard is normally cut off instead of having the hair coming out everwhere.
Artificial said...
They don't necessarily need two flexible surfaces displaying and clipping, they could just paint the tabard's texture over top of the other texture being displayed on the "skirt layer" of the model. I'm glossing over details here, though -- what if the "skirt" currently displayed has an alpha mask that would cut out parts of the tabbard, for example? You need to "or" the two masks. Not hard, but just an example of how this isn't necessarily as straightforward as I first stated. I imagine they just didn't design it to work that way to begin with, and just don't consider it worthwhile to spend the time to make it work, it possible but not necessarily trivial to implement, and they have bigger fish to fry...
One of the reasons wow needs a serious graphical overhaul. Some of the animations are seriously outdated. We have better collision detection these days and some character models are in serious need of a major overhaul, Humans being the prime example here. It still looks like they crapped their pants when they run.
- So yeah, updated animations, such as riding on a horse... it just looks wooden, certain spell casting animations, running animations etc.
- Updated character models and an option to acually model a model. Some characters only have like three options for a category... you can't adjust the parameters either. Aion does a good job of customization, which I find lacking in WoW. It really should be a broader aspect. We're very limited, in my opinion.
Anyway, Humans particularly look bad. Bad model, bad animations. Trolls have very few options to change looks as well. Vanilla WoW models need updates, desperately.
- Also, updated collision detection. Swords going throug capes, tabards tucked in, haircuts cut off when wearing helmets. I can understand some collisions failures, but it is like they're not even trying.
I am not saying WoW should look like Aion, or FF XIV, but the game is several years old now. An upgraded graphical system would be nice for Vanilla WoW. Sure, WotLK upgraded spell animations and NPC models quite a lot, as well as having great design overall, but the humans still looked poor. Riding a horse still looked wooden and swords still sliced through capes like it was butter. WoW needs a major graphical overhaul in terms of character design, customization, animation and collision detection. Seriously, WoW is almost 6 years old.
i would like them to bring back tunics for casters, there used to be some, but now we all wear dresses. whats the point of pants having graphics if we never see them. i'm surprised blizz hasn't made the emperors new pants, a pair of invisible pants with awesome stats
Anaughtybear said...
Don't forget:
The horrible male troll belt that jogs up and down in two separate pieces whenever they move. I don't know what is worse, that or their cardboard cape.
Female orc's tabards always clipping through one leg in the front.
Female undead tabards that clip through the legs in the rear.
Male orc's shoulders that clip through their body all the time, then pass through each other when they jump.
Male undead shoulders that hover a foot above their body.
@ Piisuke
A complete graphic overhaul of character models is one thing that I absolutely wish Blizzard had included in this expansion. I wish that we had SOME kind of character customization that mattered on models that do not look like crap, compared to what is out there now in terms of graphic quality. Call me a party pooper, but I honestly would have preferred Blizzard had spent their time and resources for those sorts of changes than completely revamping everyone's talents, spells and stats. Let me test my skill AS IT IS against a tougher, changed world and let me look the way I want while doing it. Too much to ask, I know.
Updated character models would be awesome, except for the fact that people get very attached to the particular way their character looks. So Blizz could work like mad to improve things, only to be greeted with outrage when they're done. Doesn't sound a great incentive to spend the development resources - at least until people start actively quitting over the way it looks.
"Also, updated collision detection. Swords going throug capes, tabards tucked in, haircuts cut off when wearing helmets. I can understand some collisions failures, but it is like they're not even trying."
It's because they're not.
Blizzard simply can't afford to use a real-time cloth or collision detection engine because most people's computers can't handle the extra workload that would place on their processors, especially in places that are already laggy such as Dalaran and Wintergrasp.
So Blizzard resorts to using static animations for basically everything. Using a static animation that can't interact with and doesn't need to know anything about it's surroundings takes a massive load off of your cpu. Not counting the few exceptions, the animations do actually look realistic - take Night Elves, for example.
I'm not saying that Blizzard doesn't need to update the animations that don't look convincing. I am saying that they cannot and will not use a real-time animation engine, because computers today simply do not have the resources to handle such intensive tasks.
Maybe in 5 to 10 years. But not any time soon.

The girls soccer team has reached the top of Nassau County soccer, with an impressive win over Oceanside in the Nassau Class AA championship on Wednesday night at the Denton Avenue Field.
The top-seeded Chiefs (16-0-1) ousted the tenth-seeded Sailors (9-5-2), 2-0, behind a pair of first half goals from sophomore Rosie DiMartino.
"I thought we played really well the first half, controlling the ball and created four or five good chances," Massapequa coach Bruce Stegner said. "We stepped it up from an intensity standpoint with the 50-50 balls in the middle. I was really happy with that. We knocked the ball around nicely, good possession and showed our skill in this game."
Massapequa dominated possession in the first half against Oceanside, holding the Sailors without a shot up until the 54th minute of the game. But at that point Oceanside was alreadybehind. DiMartino took a cross from freshman Taylor Kugler to put the Chiefs ahead in the 34th minute.
Kugler was tripped in the box shortly after the first goal, setting up a penalty kick for DiMartino. The sophomore put the kick in the top left corner to give Massapequa two goals in just a one minute and 18 second span. Oceanside created a number of opportunities in the second half but ultimately came up empty as their playoff dream run came to a close.
"Our team just came out strong, really wanting to win. I just finished those opportunities and worked really hard," DiMartino said.
The Chiefs outshot the Sailors by a 16-3 margin, largely in part because of a solid defensive effort from senior Jamie Strumwasser and company.
"I think we worked really hard in the end when we got the ball down and possessed," Strumwasser said. "Defense worked really hard in the back. We just wanted to stay composed and organized to make sure there were no gaps."
Oceanside, as the tenth seed, took down seventh-seeded Syosset followed by a pair of upset victories over second-seeded Mepham and third-seeded MacArthur to reach the finals.
"We set our goals as far as how far we wanted to go and they knew they were going to be back on this field for the finals tonight," Oceanside head coach Marianna Winchester said. "They knew they were able to beat any team they faced now, but unfortunately we just came up short."
Massapequa is a team filled with talent that enables them to go far in the playoffs year after year. Many seniors have committed to college programs for next year. Taylor Elliot will play at Vanderbilt, Shannon Garrity will play at Manhattan College, Amanda Reverberi will play at Loyola Maryland, Stephanie Nelle will play at Albany, and Strumwasser will play at Marist.
Massapequa will take on Smithtown East, the Suffolk County Champions, for the Long Island Class AA title on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Dowling College.
"I don't know much about the team, but we will come prepared and we are looking for revenge because we haven't beaten Suffolk County in the last three or four years," Stegner said.

Orienteering is an adventure sport for all ages. Races and training sessions take place every week in forests and parks around South Yorkshire and are open to anyone.
For more information on orienteering visit the British Orienteering Federation. Please feel free to come and try our events!
Endcliffe Park Event - 20 September
I hope everyone enjoyed the orienteering in Endcliffe Park today. We had a fantastic turnout which stretched our resources a little! I hope no one had to wait for too long to enter and download etc. Future events should be much quicker now that we have most of your details in our system.
(Updated Sunday) - As you may know we had some problems with the results system later on in the event. We have been working on the results and are starting to get near the final version! The current results are available here. Please let us know if your result is mising or if there are any miss-spellings, wrong ages, school etc. - there is a link from the results page. We also have split times available so you can see how you got on for each leg and year group results.
I have to say a massive thank you to all our volunteers on the day for their hard work, without which the event could not have taken place.
We look forward to seeing you at the next Saturday event - 18th October at Weston Park. We also have an event next weekend over in Wombwell Woods near Barnsley, a lovely place for a run at this time of year.

SYO are recruiting a Sports Development Coach to deliver our plans for development. Read more about the post an job desription.
British Sprints and Middle Championships 6th and 7th September
54 members of SYO travelled to the West Midlands to enjoy two days of orienteering in pleasant warm weather.
The Sprint race consisted of two races, heats and Finals, around Keele University campus. These type of races are not about technically challenging orienteering but about fast decision making, not about route choice but about not getting it wrong. Having got into the A final by the skin of my teeth my race in the Final was all about poor decisions and getting it all wrong!
Other SYO members got it right. Euan Tryner became M10 Sprint Champion and Jenny Peel W45 Champion. Lucy Wiegand came 2nd behind Jenny and Dave Peel was 2nd in M40 and Peter Gorvett 2nd in M65. Alex Rothman was third in M35 and Pippa Dakin 3rd in W16.
The Middle race took place at Brereton Spurs on Cannock Chase in glorious sunshine. I started early and found the bracken in the south of the area a bit of a handicap but other SYO members rose to the challenge. Euan Tryner and Jenny Peel repeated their successes and became Middle Distance champions as did Andrew Preston (M35) and Bll Edwards (M45). Lucy Wiegand repeated her result from the Sprint race and came 2nd in W45 and Brian Shaw had a good run to come 2nd in M70. Michael Adams came 3rd in M18 and Aidan Smith also came 3rd in M20 and Jenny Johnson 3rd in W35.
Perhaps the best non-podium run of the day was that of Ian Cooper who managed to beat Peter Gorvett and come 4th in M65.
Situations Filled and Vacant
Martin Ward has stepped down as Equipment Officer and John Franklin has taken over the position. Thank you to Martin for all his work as Equipment Officer over the last few years and best wishes to John.
European Youth Championships
SYO's Pippa Dakin was one of the stars of the Great Britain team at the European Youth Championships in Macedonia last week. Her 15th place in the W16 Sprint event was the best performance of the British team at the Sprint, and in the technical and tough Long event she very nearly went even better as she was in the top 10 until a mistake with just two controls to go dropped her back to 37th. Pippa ran a very solid 1st leg in the relay - leading for the first 3 controls and inspired the rest of her W16 team to get on the podium in 6th place.
Hear Pippa being interviewed after the races by GB Coach Jackie Newton Post Sprint Interview Post Relay Interview
Pippa had the 4th fastest time on leg 3 - which way would you go?
Pippa started orienteering just a few years ago and has benefited from the excellent support of SYO members who have put on the local events and training sessions which have been key to her success.
This weekend the older juniors including our own Aidan Smith will be training in Sheffield ahead of the Junior World Championships in Bulgaria later this months, and local Student and SYO coach Kris Jones will be competing in the World Championships Sprint in Venice. Check out the British Orienteering web site if you want to follow their progress.

Misused: Just Eat The Mac Guffin get usage counts
1 MikuruFan, Sun, 27th Oct '13 1:18:14 PM from Away
This trope seems to be about characters destroying the MacGuffin. Page image and the first paragraph make it look so. In reality, the definition is like Just Eat Gilligan... but for MacGuffins. Snowcloned off that trope, but the title does not make sense without knowing about that trope. Uses of the trope very from correct use, attempt to destroy the MacGuffin, and successful destruction of the MacGuffin, sometimes by literally eating it. Destroying the MacGuffin is something that happens often in fiction to resolve the plot. The Lord of the Rings is a famous example. However, there appears to be no trope for it. There is No MacGuffin, No Winner, but that can be unintentional. Together with the missing trope and this trope's ambiguity, misuse was generated. The last sentence of the description acknowledges such misuse. For a trope of only 27 wicks, this is not a good sign. I propose creating a trope about destroying the MacGuffin, then either rename and clean up this trope or merge it with Just Eat Gilligan.
Check on 24 wicks, excluding an Italian language page, Lost and Found, and Mac Guffin Snowclones (a title index).

ZzzzzzzzzzWhat, aside from the name using the words "Just eat", does Just Eat the MacGuffin (Why doesn't someone just destroy the MacGuffin?) have in common with Just Eat Gilligan ("An entire show whose continued existence depends on its castmembers not doing one simple, easy-to-think-of thing that could solve all of their problems and wrap everything up in a neat little package."

In this case, destroying the MacGuffin is the one simple thing.

Which the examples tend to actually show characters attempting, but the cast of Gilligan's Island didn't. So the usage is the exact opposite of the JEG question.

A Wizard boyJust Eat the MacGuffin to me seems like the trope about how destroying the MacGuffin would fix the whole conflict of the plot. That seems really like Just Eat Gilligan, but about destroying certain things.
11 MikuruFan, Mon, 28th Oct '13 4:06:59 PM from Away
No MacGuffin, No Winner is the trope for destroying a MacGuffin or Plot Coupon. We don't need a new trope. We just need to move some examples. I propose to rename Just Eat the MacGuffin to Why Not Eat The Mac Guffin. I propose to delete the current page image. It is misleading, because it shows someone literally eating the coupon, but the trope is about not eating it.
You're wrong, but a helpful wrong. In lord of the rings, the Good Guys win by destroying the MacGuffin. So No MacGuffin, No Winner isn't right. No Man Should Have This Power is linked to on that page, and is the discussed trope of intentionally destroying the macguffin.
Still new. Still learning. Asking questions and making mistakes.
Sorry! I read the sentence on No MacGuffin, No Winner that says, "This is often where a side chooses to destroy the object to prevent the enemy from getting his or her hands on it, " and mistakenly ignored the "No Winner" part of the trope name.
I understand. The line is bad. It is in direct contrast to the previous two lines: "Not like it matters, though. The story has officially gone nowhere." Edit: since there is a trope already for the misused version of the trope, we can move those examples over there. (Cleaning this trope, no crowner needed). The definition, is it really different enough from Just Eat Gilligan, since that trope is not limited to characters? (Merge, requires crowner) The name, have the inbounds been using the misuse, or the definition? Because that should inform us if the trope needs to be disambiguated or redirected.

Still new. Still learning. Asking questions and making mistakes.
I'd like to think this as a valid subtrope of "Gilligan". While they are both based on the same idea (simple action that would solve the plot is never tried), destroying a dangerous object the bad guys want to use for evil is something a normal person would probably consider first in that situation, whereas killing someone because their incompetence is holding you back is something most people would never suggest in real life. In other words, you don't actually have to wonder why they don't Just Eat Gilligan. Because they're not murderers, that's why. The audience can say Just Eat Gilligan because they know its not real. But Just Eat the MacGuffin should be an obvious thing to try.
That's a good argument for splitting "killing a character" from Just Eat Gilligan, not "destroying the MacGuffin". There's lots of simple tasks, from buying your own breakfast to switching lab partners.
Still new. Still learning. Asking questions and making mistakes.
I think you're taking the name Just Eat Gilligan too literally; eating Gilligan is something the cast of that show is more likely to try than the rest of us because, well, they're trapped on a desert island. If it's being misused or underused in the way you suggest, maybe it needs a rename.

Guillaume de Boullion flies his explosive-packed SPAD XXII through the Arc de Triomphe, to collide with President Raymond Poincare's reviewing stand at Bastille Day, 1919. De Boullion, a fiercely nationalist ex-fighter pilot descended from royalty, killed Poincare and himself in protest of Poincare's lenient policies towards Moroccan immigration.
In the years since the war, de Boullion had begun drinking heavily, and showed every indication of being mentally unsound. While he caused considerable damage, it is still believed that he acted alone.
In recent years, a Muslim terrorist group known as The Base (or "al-Kayida") has copied de Bouillion's strategy, packing light planes with explosives and using them for targeted assassinations.

Here's how you can adjust the limit switches in your actuator. Begin with the actuator off the dish and the inner tube free to turn.
- Run the actuator to retract the the inner tube. If the inner tube hits bottom and starts to spin continue to run the actuator until it stops. It will stop when it hits the bottom limit switch.
- If the inner tube is not all the way in, turn it by hand until it is.
- Now turn the inner tube out 3 or 4 revolutions. Your bottom switch is now set.
- At this time you can install your actuator on your dish.
- Run the actuator to extend it until you reach the desired dish position. Be careful not to over extend the actuator.
- Once you stop at the desired position (or just slightly past it) adjust the upper limit switch by loosening the screw that holds the cam, and turning the cam until the switch is activated. Tighten the screw and your limits are set.
