Your AGA at Metro Cinema
Your AGA and Metro Cinema Society are partnering up to bring you another exciting season of critically acclaimed feature-length films themed around our latest exhibitions. AGA members receive a $2 discount to these films by presenting their member card at the Metro Cinema Box Office.
Moulin Rouge!
A Film by Baz Luhrmann
USA/ Australia | 127 minutes | 2001
Wednesday, September 10, 7 pm
Metro Cinema at the historic Garneau Theatre, 8712 109 Street
Tickets: $10 / $8 AGA & Metro Members, Students and Seniors
Tickets can be purchased through the Metro Cinema Box Office
It's the belle époque in late 1890s Paris, and Christian (Ewan McGregor) has left behind his bourgeois father to seek his fortune in the bohemian underworld of Monmartre, where the eccentric artist, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (John Leguizamo), introduces him to a new world and the scandalous dance known as the can can in the infamous dance hall, brothel, and theatre: the Moulin Rouge. It's here that Christian falls into a tragically doomed romance with the courtesan Satie (Nicole Kidman), the star of the play he is writing, which parallels their romance and sets the romance to a rock music soundtrack a century ahead of the times.
All films are presented in partnership between the Art Gallery of Alberta and Metro Cinema Society and held in conjunction with the exhibition Toulouse-Lautrec and La Vie Moderne: Paris 1880-1910.

Film as Art?
with Megan Bertagnolli

Using works in A Moving Image, this Art for Lunch explores these questions and unpacks some of the challenges of video art.

She delights teaching people who, like her, never thought yoga was something they could do or enjoy.Lunden initially tried to yoga to help recover from rugby injuries, but was hooked by the silent and nurturing nature of the practice. Over a decade later, her knees and back have healed and she has an appreciation for both her body and her life that she never thought possible.
Lunden has had the good fortune of learning from a variety of teachers around the world. She completed her first teacher training in 2008 through the World Conscious Yoga Family in Rishikesh, India. She has since completed trainings through Yogaworks, Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga, and yin training with Paul Grilley.

#Gold'sDeli 1932 GrandOpening. My great grandmother sold fruits and vegetables, and years later I represent many artists, so basically I sell fruits and vegetables.
Dustin Gold, CEO of William Gold Entertainment, is a Creative Entrepreneur, Artist Manager/Broker, Entertainment Producer, Political Strategist, Technology Investor, and Consultant
More About Dustin Gold
Crowned "The Don King of Political Impersonators" by The New Yorker, Dustin Gold, a creative entrepreneur with a degree in industrial design, is an artist manager/broker, entertainment producer, technology investor, and political strategy consultant, who has been featured by ABC's Good Morning America, Bloomberg Businessweek, The Huffington Post, among many other notable media outlets.
As founder and CEO of William Gold Entertainment, LLC, and founder and Executive Producer of Political Entertainment Productions and its comedy troupe, Politicos Comedy Brigade, Dustin and his roster of artists have been featured by almost every major news outlet such as CNN's The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer, The Sean Hannity Radio Program, Playboy XM, Glenn Beck's The Blaze, The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washingtonian, the Associated Press, BBC, and NPR. Dustin worked with renowned British photographer Alison Jackson to provide a Barack Obama and Mitt Romney for The Atlantic Magazine's election edition cover and fourteen-page spread.
Dustin has produced live entertainment and media content for thousands of major global brands including Microsoft, LinkedIn, Yahoo!, AOL, Johnson & Johnson, Unilever, Hyundai, USO, and The Africa CEO Roundtable, provided talent to and coproduced comedic segments with hundreds of television shows and networks including ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, CBS's Late Show with David Letterman, TBS' Conan with Conan O'Brien, NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, Comedy Central's Workaholics, NBC Universal's The Maury Povich Show, Disney's Hannah Montana, CBS' The Millers, FOX News' Huckabee with Governor Mike Huckabee, FOX News' Stossel with John Stossel, Showtime's Paulytics with Pauly Shore, WWE's Capitol Punishment, ESPN, MTV, CNN, and MSNBC, and collaborated with dozens of new media giants including Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's Funny or Die, Google's Barely Political, The Onion, College Humor, MTV's Matt's Apartment, myISH's The Hillywood Show, South Africa's ZANews's American property Puppet Nation, and TRadioV's ManChat.
Dustin has worked with and on a variety of political campaigns, events, and advertisements in various capacities, including the following:
• One of the first multiple character political comedy shows Dustin produced took place in 2010 and featured Reggie Brown as Barack Obama, Tim Watters as Bill Clinton, Patti Lyons as Sarah Palin, and comedian Tim Northern as Juan Williams. Dustin's client the Munster, Indiana Democratic Party was in the beginning phases of building a brand for Sherif Roy Dominguez who was contemplating a run for Indiana Governor. Rather than producing a typical high priced ticketed dinner aimed at big donors, the organization decided that they wanted to create a community event that would reach a wider demographic of voters and help kick off Dominguez's bid for Governor. The fundraiser, held at a 1,500 seat mega-church, not only sold out of all of the available tickets, but also sold over 400 higher dollar VIP passes which granted ticketholders access to a cocktail reception and photo session featuring the impersonators.
• When Governor Sarah Palin turned down an invitation to deliver the keynote address at Conservative Political Action Conference 2011, Dustin staged a prank with Sarah Palin impersonator Patti Lyons which lead to dozens of major media outlets being fooled into believing the real Sarah Palin had decided to make an appearance after all, including the AP, ABC, FOX News, and PJ Media who interviewed the impersonator live on air for five minutes before realizing they had been duped. The stunt generated over 65 original articles, secured the Twitter trending topic of the day, and effectively turned the focus of the media coverage from political speakers such as Governor Mitt Romney and real estate mogul Donald Trump to the impersonator.
• Republican Leadership Conference 2011 contracted Dustin to provide a comedic keynote address featuring President Barack Obama impersonator Reggie Brown which aired live on CSPAN. The appearance turned into a media goldmine when the impersonator's performance was cut short to allow Governor Rick Perry, an unannounced guest, to squeeze in a quick speech. The left leaning media twisted the onstage debacle and used the event to attack the Republican Party which lead to five straight days of major news coverage for Reggie Brown including 25 worldwide television appearances, 75 radio interviews, 100 original articles, and thousands of Tweets.
• Nationally recognized Republican political consulting firm BrabenderCox, who was managing the digital media campaign for Senator Rick Santorum's 2012 Republican Presidential primary race, hired Dustin to provide Mitt Romney impersonator Mike Cote for an attack ad against Governor Mitt Romney. The commercial, titled "Rombo," which featured the impersonator running around a warehouse shooting mud from a machine gun, implying that Romney was a "mudslinger," seized a three day news cycle and generated over 100 original articles and was featured on CBS's Late Show With David Letterman before finally ending its run on FOX & Friends with guest Mitt Romney having to personally respond to the ad on national television.
• Good Jobs Now, an offshoot of SEIU, contracted Dustin during the 2012 Presidential election to provide a Mitt Romney impersonator and to help produce a staged media event in Detroit with the goal of mobilizing the local community by bringing attention to Romney's anti-middleclass policies. The event gave the media exactly what the organization had hoped to provide them with, and the story was picked by several local news outlets.
• When Virgin America decided to launch a nonstop shuttle from San Francisco to Washington, DC to help connect technology lobbyists with political operatives, they decided to partner with Rock The Vote to launch in-air voter registration and Dustin to provide an in-air debate between Barack Obama impersonator Reggie Brown and Mitt Romney impersonator Jim Gossett. The event, which consisted of a ribbon cutting at both the outbound and inbound airports, an inflight comedy performance, and a meet & greet photo session, produced more than 65 original articles for Virgin America.
• GMMB, a full service, integrated strategic communications, and advertising agency specializing in nonprofits, advocacy groups, and political leaders was working with the League of Conservation Voters to help U.S. Representative Edward Markey defeat private equity investor and former Navy SEAL Gabriel Gomez in the 2013 U.S. Senate special election race to replace U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. Dustin was contracted to provide Governor Mitt Romney impersonator Tim Warneke for a series of satirical new media videos which portrayed Romney, who had recently been defeated by Barack Obama in his bid for President, as backing Gomez for Senate. The micro-campaign generated several statewide articles, and Markey went on to defeat Gomez in the election.
• TigerComm, the nation's foremost cleantech /clean economy communications, marketing and strategy firm collaborated with Dustin on behalf of billionaire philanthropist Tom Steyer's NextGen Climate Action Committee's involvement in former DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe's successful bid to overcome Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli in the 2013 Virginia Gubernatorial election. Dustin developed an impersonator of Ken Cuccinelli, portrayed by comic impressionist Steve Van Zandt, who was deployed to various live events and used in several pieces of digital media content. Just four days following an earned media blitz generated from the impersonator's first live appearance centered around exposing $18,000 in questionable gifts Cuccinelli received from a Virginia-based corporation tied to the Governor Bob McDonnell corruption scandal, the real Ken Cuccinelli released a video apologizing for accepting the gifts and stated that he would return the money through the making of a donation to a charitable organization. Within a week of the forced apology, Cuccinelli, who was favored to win the election, watched his poll numbers slide until he eventually lost the election.
Prior to founding WGe, Dustin founded a small toy design company called Beareo Enterprises, LLC for the sole purpose of developing a Barack Obama "Change We Can Count" designer vinyl savings bank which was distributed worldwide through a specialty toy promotion company, NYC-based Toy Tokyo, and to retailers across the country including White House Gifts, a DC collectibles shop located across the street from the White House.
Dustin founded, and for several years managed, a Connecticut-based marketing and design firm called ThinkTank Creative Group which often collaborated with HarveyMalis Communications, a communications strategy firm, on projects for health industry clients such as Connecticut Bio Conference and CURE The Bioscience Network of Connecticut. During this time, Dustin also refined his digital pop art style and was commissioned to create custom artwork for numerous nightclubs, corporate buildings, and high profile private clients.
In 2007, at the age of 26, Dustin became active in political advocacy through grassroots activism, independent investigative reporting, and campaign strategy. Dustin launched an organization called Community Watchdog Project for the primary purpose of exposing corruption connected to the ten term New Haven, Connecticut Mayor John DeStefano who was promoting the first-in-the-nation program to provide ID cards to illegal immigrants. Dustin was arguing that DeStefano was a crony capitalist who was hiding behind humanitarianism, and in fact hurting the African American work force by creating a magnet for cheap labor to move into the city, because DeStefano owned stake in a bank that was recruiting the illegal immigrants as customers. In less than two years, Dustin grew the organization into a network of over 1,300 active members and dozens of high profile whistleblowers. Dustin led a nine-day Freedom of Information hearing, the longest in Connecticut's history, and was responsible for securing the assistance of DC-based Federation for American Immigration Reform, Center for Immigration Studies, and Immigration Reform Law Institute. During this time, Dustin launched a twice-weekly radio segment on 960WELI titled Watchdog Wednesday's With Dustin "Digger" Gold hosted by Jerry Kristafer a longtime colleague of Glenn Beck, was featured by media outlets across the world including CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight and FOX's Special Report With Brit Hume, and wrote a 600-page investigative report on the corruption connected to the Mayor which was subpoenaed by the U.S. District Attorney and lead to a Connecticut Congressional investigation and an FBI raid on a New Haven-based nonprofit. During this period, Southern Poverty Law Center named Dustin to its Top Ten Nativist Leaders list, which he's been quoted as saying, "…if exposing a ring of corrupt politicians and fighting for the African American community lands me on SPLC's bogus list then I will proudly wear it as a badge of honor." Six years after the 600-page report was published, DeStefano retired from office and was appointed President of the bank, proving Dustin's theory to be true.
Before dabbling in politics, Dustin was Art Director for Corporate Image International where he helped to build and expand their custom commercial art department, and worked on projects for numerous corporate entities, casinos, and healthcare facilities. The first company Dustin worked after graduating from college was The Theme Factory of Philadelphia, a set and prop company, where Dustin sculpted a 25 foot tall Statue of Liberty for Liberty Tax Consultants which is on display at several locations around the country and developed multiple three dimensional sets for The Philadelphia Zoo.
Dustin grew up in New Haven County, Connecticut, and was engrained with a creative spirit and entrepreneurial foundation from his mother who worked on the VONAGE start-up team, his maternal grandmother who sewed costumes for the Broadway rendition of Annie, and his father who was a self-employed private investigator. Besides managing WGe and focusing on non-traditional comedy-driven political tactics, Dustin has formed a technology start-up which is developing a semantic search backed mobile interface to help with voter targeting and messaging, and has co-written a fictional comedic mockumentary about the Hillary 2016 Presidential campaign which he is in the early stages of producing.

Workers Believe Recession Is Still Lingering
Eighty-six percent of U.S. adult workers feel the economy is still in a recession, an Adecco survey reveals. In addition, 78% of workers believe this is the worst job market they've seen in their careers. Regardless of these feelings, however, workers of all ages are starting to think about (or have already started to explore) new job opportunities.
GenY is the most ready for change in the year ahead, the survey finds. In fact, compared to the end of 2008, the percentage of GenY workers looking for a new job in 2010 has more than doubled -- from 14% to 30% -- and 51% plan to go on (or have already gone on) a job interview as the economy begins to recover. And they are not alone -- 30% of GenX workers, 29% of Baby Boomers, and 22% of age 61 or older also have interviewed or plan to interview in the year ahead.
The survey also found:
- Unlike younger generations of workers (GenY), Silent Generation workers (61 years old and older) are focused on keeping their current jobs. In fact, 66% of these workers say that keeping their job is their number one work-life concern, but only 6% are willing to take a pay cut to stay in their current job.
- Forty-one percent of Baby Boomers feel they are working harder than they were a year ago but 47% of this generation does not expect a raise this year.
- Despite the recent passing of a jobs bill, workers are beginning to doubt how good President Obama is for the job market. At the end of 2008, 67% felt President Obama would be good for the economy whereas today 53% feel this way.
- Twenty-six percent of workers are saving more money for potential unemployment than they used to. In addition, 42% of Silent Generation workers are delaying retirement plans as a result of the economy.
Employees Feel Surprisingly Secure in Their Jobs
Despite the sluggish economy, as many as three-quarters of employees in North America feel secure in their jobs, a Right Management survey reveals. In fact, 38% claim to feel "very secure."
"The widespread sense of job security is based on a couple of factors," comments Melvin Scales, Right Management's senior VP. "One, a result of managers doing a good job helping employees to understand their role in the organization and how they can make a difference, both today and in the future. Two, the economy is growing, job openings are improving and the stock market is recovering. Employees may believe, perhaps, the worst is over."
Among the findings:
- Employees at medium-sized organizations feel the most secure, with 42% reporting they feel "very secure."
- Men (27%) feel slightly less secure than women (22%).
- Forty percent of management-level employees feel "very secure" -- more than any other group.
- Twenty-six percent of employees do not feel secure at work.
"Creating a culture of trust goes a long way toward fostering a sense of security in the workplace," advises Scales. "Leaders who take the time to talk with employees about what is happening within the company can help them to understand what is expected of them and show that they are valued or respected. A sense of security founded on trust is what's needed to build a creative and innovative environment."
Global Executives More Willing Than Ever to Relocate
A majority of global executives are willing to relocate for the right career opportunity, a Korn/Ferry survey reveals. Eighty-two percent of global executives said they are willing to relocate to a different region, state or country. Forty-seven percent expressed an "extreme willingness" to relocate, and 35% said they are "somewhat willing."
Career acceleration is the primary reason to move, according to 78% of execs surveyed. Forty-two percent said "quality of life" in a new location would most motivate them, while only 20% chose "job title and promotion" or "salary" as the top motivator. Eighteen percent of executives cite "the reputation of the company" as the primary motivating factor.
Only 8% of executives reported turning down an international assignment. More than half of executives have accepted a global assignment, and 41% have never been asked to relocate internationally. Additionally, 81% of surveyed executives have relocated to a different region, state or country during their careers.

The Hotness of a President
During a Wednesday night watch party in downtown Charlotte, we couldn't help but notice a young woman in the crowd who was powerfully intoxicated with the former president and who squirmed excitedly through all 48 minutes of his speech. We sat down with her to find out just what it is about Big Bill that drives women wild.
Excited Fan (mid-20s; mildly inebriated): I love Bill Clinton. He is the sexiest politician in the world.

T: Can you put a finer point on that sexiness?
EF: Um, the way they speak?
T: Which is?

UK News
Insights from the UK and beyond
How big a problem is workplace bullying?
A political row is brewing after allegations of bullying were aimed at Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The claims, made in a book and published in a Sunday newspaper, accused Brown of several abusive outbursts, including grabbing staff by the lapels, shoving them aside and shouting at them.
Downing Street has strenuously denied that the "malicious allegations" are true, while Conservative leader David Cameron has said he expects there to be an inquiry into the claims.
Christine Pratt, head of the National Bullying Helpline, weighed into the debate by saying several people who worked at Number 10 had been in touch with the charity, adding that none had directly accused Mr Brown of bullying.
Meanwhile, Business secretary Lord Mandelson, in an interview with the BBC, said that Brown is "demanding of people" and himself but has never bullied anyone.
TV interview shows Brown is brushing up
It should have been toe-curlingly embarrassing but Gordon Brown seemed to come out of it pretty well, raising the stakes for the planned debates between party leaders ahead of the election.
The prime minister's appearance on Piers Morgan's celebrity interview programme on Sunday night must have been designed to show a more human side to Brown — who often comes across as awkward and intellectual.
Opinion poll raises spectre of hung British parliament
The latest opinion poll in Britain showing the opposition Conservatives six points ahead of the ruling Labour party has raised the possibility of a hung parliament with no one party having an overall majority and a return to the kind of political uncertainty not seen since the 1970s.
Kenneth Clarke, the Conservatives' business spokesman, said earlier this month that a hung parliament at this point in the economic cycle would be a disaster, an assertion his boss David Cameron was quick to try to play down after the latest survey.
Live blog: BNP on Question Time
Welcome to our live blog of the BBC's Question Time, which tonight features British National Party leader Nick Griffin on its panel.
Whichever side of the debate you fall on, no-one can deny that this has developed into a huge story. The BBC has defended its decision to invite Griffin on, Gordon Brown has predicted that it will backfire and security has been ramped up ahead of the show.
Should the BNP be able to use military imagery?
This is a busy week for the British National Party (BNP).
Today it was warned to stop using military imagery in its campaign material. A group of former military leaders accused the BNP, which has used photographs of spitfire fighter planes and Winston Churchill, of hijacking Britain's history for their own "dubious ends."
The distinguished generals said this tarnished the reputation of the armed forces and called on them to "cease and desist."
from The Great Debate UK:

At 1:30pm British time on Wednesday, October 21, Reuters is hosting an exclusive Web 2.0 interview with Darling and we want you to send us your questions to put to the top man from the Treasury.
Is five too young to start primary school?
The largest review of primary schooling in England for 40 years has said children at five are too young to start formal education and that six would be a more suitable age.
The Cambridge University study says play-based learning should go on for another year. Making children start school so young was a throwback to the Victorian age when the factories wanted them to start early so they could finish early and get working on the production line sooner.
Tories and Trotskyites
Chalk and organic cheese would be an understatement.
There is a surprising public perception that there wouldn't be much difference between a Conservative or Labour government, but there couldn't be fewer similarities between the supporters of both movements and the two party conferences.
It would be hard to imagine union activists sipping on cocktails from the Knightsbridge luxury store Harvey Nichols stand at the Labour party conference in Brighton, but in Manchester thirsty Conservatives can enjoy an HN gin ricky.
Does class matter in politics?
Three big speeches have been delivered at the Conservative Party conference so far — by party leader David Cameron, the mayor of London and national bumbler, Boris Johnson, and the party's spokesman on the economy, George Osborne.
What do all three men have in common apart from their membership of the Conservative Party? They were all educated at elite public schools (Johnson and Cameron at Eton and Osborne at St Paul's) and all went to Oxford, where they were members of the same dining and social set, the secretive and selective Bullingdon Club.
People, Britain and change – Brown's speech keywords
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has promised to clean up politics, get tough on crime in his keynote speech to the annual Labour Party conference in Brighton. He also pledged to address the bonus culture that many blame for the financial crisis.

Gorgeous Tree House Hideout Above the Costa Rica Jungle
Architect Benjamin Garcia Saxe Architecture creates a tree house effect for a family home perched above the Costa Rica rainforest.
To access the glorious ocean views, the home is perched high above the tree canopy.
On the steep site, this sort of pole construction barely disturbs the forest floor, which was important to the client and the architect.
The resulting design has a wonderful Swiss Family Robinson appeal – it is more like a secret tree house hideout than a family home.
This treetop hideout quality is emphasized by the steeply angled supporting columns and angled-up roofs.
Both angles also reinforce the sense of looking out from an open yet protected space.
The house is made up of three consecutive cabins with a linking outdoor corridor in front.
The interior and the exterior is all merged into one single platform launching ground above the rainforest, with bi-folding shutter doors that are very rarely if ever closed.
From this amazing perch, the family home has a real feeling of warmth and shelter.
The master bedroom embraces the ocean views.
Locally harvested bamboo lines a back passageway connecting the childrens' bedrooms.
Accessed along the back bamboo walkway, the childrens' bathrooms are colored in a traditional green stucco.
These bathrooms face and reflect the jungle behind the house.
Bamboo is also used to make these beautifully crafted sliding doors, using local construction techniques.
Rainwater is harvested from the roof and returned to the under forest allowed to grow beneath the house.
Unlike some of the neighboring homes, Casa Flotanta is is an ecologically sensitive house that sits lightly on the land.
Style and Balance – and Surprise – in Miami Villa Fendi
In 2013, Villa Fendi sold for $14 million, breaking a record for the Venetian Islands.
The sedately beautiful house was designed by rGlobe for the grandson of the founders of Fendi, the Italian fashion house.
The garden side of the house faces the ocean, here suggested by a view through to the pool.
The huge glass case above the garages has a surprising purpose. It serves as both entry (via elevator) and – in front – an occasional guest bedroom.
So it is a curiously exposed room to be a guest bedroom.
To get to the main part of the house, one steps out into the open air.
This entry leads right past a bathroom, that has a wonderful open view but lacks privacy.
Perhaps the window can be opaqued when needed?
At this height, the extended view past the guest bedroom is largely of the neighboring tree canopy.
On the ocean side, the master bedroom repeats the extension of the guest bedroom, but it cantilevers out over the garden pool.
In fact, as the plan shows, this echo is not an exact recreation, just a hint of the shape.
Although this pure glass extension is a beautiful space, knowing that it is a guest bedroom combined with an elevator stairwell from the garage below takes away some of the charm.
As does this surprisingly dreary kitchen.
For $14 million, this seems surprisingly lacking.
Design Dilemma: Easy to Clean
When you're picking out that new couch, floor or kitchen countertop, do you ever stop to ask yourself: hey, wait, how easy is this to keep clean? If you don't, you should, because the ability to keep a spic and span home will not only lift your spirits on a daily basis, (when you get to come home to a clean home), but it will also extend the life of your furniture and finishings. And the easier it is to keep your home clean, the less time you'll have to spend cleaning! So you see, it's worth some attention.
1. Choose flooring that's easy to keep clean — concrete or hardwood floors.
First choice, in my opinion, is hardwood, which is simple to sweep and dust or damp mop when needed, as long as it's got a protective sealer on top. As hardwood floors age, they just get better. Plus, they're a classic and work well with all types of furniture styles. But for those worried about scratches or the potential for water damage, concrete has to be the way to go. It may not be quite as comfy as hardwood, (it can be hard on the knees and joints) but when it's stained with a nonporous protective sealer it's a snap to sweep or mop and impervious to spills. Another great choice can be tile, especially with so many great tile choices today, including wood-look tile.
Clean home no-no: wall-to-wall carpet. It's impossible to keep really clean, and is a horror for allergy sufferers or those with children and pets.
2. Choose washable paint.
This is an absolute necessity for anyone with pets or children. When the inevitable marks appear on the wall, you'll be able to whip out a sponge and restore the wall to its pristine state. And for those wanting to try something a little bit different look into vinyl wall coverings that mimic grass cloth, silk and linen. These coverings are easy to scrub down and they hide marks.
Clean home no-no: cheap, unwashable paint.
3. Opt for leather or eco-leather.
Leather and eco leather furniture hold one huge advantage over cloth upholstery. If you want, you can sponge it off every day. Try that with a fabric chair! When opting for leather, choose darker colors, such as tan, chocolate or taupe, as white and ivory can stain.
Clean home no-no: couches and chairs upholstered in nubby white silk.
4. If you do fabrics, choose microfiber or slipcovers.
There are a myriad of microfiber fabrics out there that repel dirt and stains. These fabrics can look fresh and new for years with a little care, and they don't have to be that boring taupe microfiber you see everywhere. If you don't get microfiber, consider contract-grade fabrics that have been treated to be stain repellant.
Clean home no-no: untreated fabrics like velvet that attract pet hair and soak up liquids.
5. Avoid countertops and surfaces that stain easily —- Carrera marble, we're talking about you!
If you're looking for a countertop that won't show stains, that are hygienic and easy to clean, you have choices! Solid surface countertops like Corian, can be an excellent choice, as can stainless steel, quartz, formica, concrete or granite. However, if you're concerned about stains, avoid light stones that are prone to stain, such as white marble and some other stones.
Clean home no-no: If you're concerned about icky stuff getting stuck on your countertops, avoid tile, as foods tend to get stuck in the grout. A few other clean-freak tips:
- Beware of beadboard, chair rails, trim and millwork, as they can be a dusting nightmare. If you've got a lot of detail, be sure to invest in a feather duster and good windows to keep the dust at bay.
- Take off your shoes when you enter the house. You'll be amazed at how much cleaner your home will stay without bringing in the outdoors on your shoes.
- Limit knick-knacks and clutter. Cleaning surfaces becomes a breeze when you don't have to move dozens of objects to wipe, dust, vacuum or mop.
A Cool and Practical Resort in the Dutch Caribbean
Behind a high white stucco wall is the exotic tropical Garden Villa Iguana on the Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire.
I love its perfect framed pavilion at the end of a languorous pool.
The simple structure is simply a four poster daybed raised a little off the ground, offering shade in the hottest part of the day.
Tropical cool marks the scrupulously eco-minimalist resort, contrasting the zing of white stucco, the warm embrace of tropical hardwood with the sheen of a soft grey patina of its flooring.
The furniture is constructed in a similarly straightforward no-nonsense style.
The presence of the nearby Caribbean Sea provides both a brisk trade wind and a tropical shelter.
In the sultry heat, the chill of a polished concrete floor can be very inviting.
The same material is used to sculpt a kitchen island table that works very well – the sink is out of the way at the narrow head of the table, rather than across from diners.
Similarly, the same concrete material creates the resort's eco-minimal bathroom sinks.
Carving also this most elegant and simple of bathroom cabinets – with Dutch practicality.
The very exotic and tropical holiday retreat can be found in the town of Kralendijk, in the Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire
A Contemporary Stone House with a Green Lawn Roof
What a wonderful crisp contrast. The white framing and the green roof; spliced by a white-framed peephole, spying a pool on the deck below.
The house, set in in Jarabacoa in the Dominican Republic, was designed by VASHO architects to house 18 people comfortably.
The jiggered green roof allows for a clerestory, bringing the cool forest light in from all around.
The roof evolves very softly and naturally out of the hillside slope.
The eco-chic deck offers real immersion in the rainforest setting.
The house is built into the hillside – which cools it to the temperature of the bedrock.
Stones collected from the site itself make a sturdy and low impact building structure.
This stone is not a mere facade, but actually forms both the finished interior and the exterior structural wall.
Each bedroom has its own bathroom and study, while the living room-dining room-kitchen is a generous shared space.
A modest pool at the end of the deck invites one or two guests to lazily idle away the summer afternoons.
The house is designed as a second home for use intermittently through the summer.
For the architects, the greatest challenge was to create a space that comfortably houses 18 people on such a steep section.
The architects' solution was burrowing the length of the two floors into the hillside – not only creating the maximum of horizontal space, but an ecological retreat that partakes sensibly of its rainforest environment.

Rattlesnake logic
As long as we insist on maintaining the "moral high ground" we will NEVER win the war on terrorism. We're in a conflict in which we absolutely insist on playing by the rules against a maniacal group who have no rules.
After the Boston bombing the news media has spent days and weeks trying to determine why these men did what they did. They want to know what America did to make these brothers so angry with us. They want to know why these men were not arrested before they did something so terrible. The media is in a tizzy about this new era of homegrown radicals, and about why they could live among us and still hate us.
A friend of mine from Texas explained it all to me: Here in west Texas I have rattlesnakes on my place, living among us. I have killed a rattlesnake on the front porch. I have killed a rattlesnake on the back porch. I have killed rattlesnakes in the barn, in the shop and on the driveway. In fact, I kill every rattlesnake I encounter. I kill rattlesnakes because I know a rattlesnake will bite me and inject me with poison. I don't stop to wonder why a rattlesnake will bite me; I know it will bite me because it's a rattlesnake and that's what rattlesnakes do. I don't try to reason with a rattlesnake, I just kill it.
I don't try to get to know the rattlesnake better so I can find a way to live with the rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me. I just kill them. I don't quiz a rattlesnake to see it I can find out where the other snakes are, because (a ) it wont tell me, and (b ) I already know they live on my place. So, I just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one.
I don't look for ways I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a non-poisonous rat snake...I just kill it. Oh, and on occasion, I accidentally kill a rat snake because I thought it was a rattlesnake at the time. Also, I know, for every rattlesnake I kill, two more are lurking out there in the brush. In my lifetime I will never be able to rid my place of rattlesnakes. Do I fear them? No! Do I respect what they can do to me? Yes! And because of that respect I give them the fair justice they deserve.... I kill them!
Maybe as a country we should start giving more thought to the fact that these jihadists' are just like rattlesnakes, and act accordingly!
I love this country; it's the damn government I'm afraid of.
Safetydude gave me this as a possible source....

Whats Happening In The World
Russia has taken over the Crimea, and may well have designs on all of the Ukraine. Noting our weakness, China may decide to invade Taiwan, North Korea may yet invade South Korea, Iraq is in shambles, Hamas is attacking Israel, Rebels in Syria are trying to take over the country (we're unsure which side we're on ), Egypt is still in chaos, ISIS is killing Americans and vows to kill us all, the whole of the middle eastern countries want to destroy Israel, Al-Qaeda still exists, the Taliban is stronger then ever, Americans are unsafe in Libya, and added to all these problems, our country (yours and mine ), "America", is being invaded by millions of Illegal Aliens, many of them criminals. Most of this occurring because we have a weak, indecisive, inexperienced President in office. To make matters worse, this President wants to send 3000 American soldiers to Africa to help in the fight against Ebola (bullets won't kill Ebola ) and additionally this Government wants to bring many of those infected with Ebola to the United States (which is a sure way to spread this deadly disease even further. Is this by design. Is our Government intentionally trying to weaken, or destroy America?
We, as Americans, cannot solve all the problems of the world. We, as Americans cannot defend all countries against tyranny. It cannot be done and we certainly cannot afford to even try, nor should we try. Sometimes folks just have to help themselves.
Lets look out for America, don't allow this weak President to send troops to Africa, or get us involved in another ground war in the middle East.

TJ's: be careful when you purchase dairy there
- mschow Nov 17, 2008 09:30 AM
Well, on November 8, in the morning, I went to my local TJ's in NJ, and purchased a number of items. In the dairy dept, I purchased 5 yogurts, eggs, half and half and heavy cream. Three days later, on the 11th, I took out the eggs and heavy cream to make a quiche. I open the cream, and it is a solid mass. I look at the date on the cream, and it is October 23. It was 2 weeks expired when I purchased it, yet this cream was right in front on the shelf. To make matters worse, there was someone stocking the dairy when I was there. So I get a little paranoid, and start checking the dates on everything else I bought from the dairy. The yogurts were OK, as was the eggs. The half and half had a date on it of November 16, still saleable, obviously, but that went bad on November 14, so I had to throw it away when it curdled in my coffee. It went bad in less than a week. No telling how long the cream and half and half were on the shelf at TJ.
Normally, I purchase dairy like milk at my grocery, Target or even our local WAWA..
When I go later to the store to purchase half and half and cream to replace what went rancid from TJ, I will likely find a date on the cream of late December or even a little later. I can guarantee my half and half will also have a late December date.
So, how old are the dairy products that TJ sells? They are selling items past their date, and nearly past their dates.
Yes, I'll admit that I didn't check the dates. I guess I assumed (stupid of me, I know), that TJ has a bit more integrity than my local grocery store and I tend to trust what they sell a bit more than the big box. That's it; I'm done with purchasing dairy from TJ's. Oh, and naturally I threw the receipt away, so there's no way to get a refund. BUYER BEWARE!
I'm a fanatic at date-checking. TJ has "Packed on" dates on their produce and cheeses, so there's no knowing when they'll expire. Also, I bought a loaf of Mom's White Bread that was undated and seemed pretty stale by the time I got it home.
i do check dates [compulsively], and unfortunately this is an issue at most markets, not just TJs.
it's a chronic problem at WFM - i find expired product on their shelves at least once a week - at this point the dairy guys there start checking dates themselves when they see me coming ;)
i showed expired product to the manager at my local A&P a few weeks ago as well...and i've also had to do it at Stop & Shop in recent months.
it's a universal problem.
for the record, you can get a refund at TJ's even without a receipt - they have an incredibly lenient return policy.
re: goodhealthgourmet
I agree. I know OP's experience was with TJ, but I have found the same thing at other markets. It's not fair to single out one specific market. Check expiration dates for products from any market.
Even if you threw out your receipt, I would still bring it to their attention. They should be aware if there are a bunch of overdue items on the shelves. Also, FWIW, I have always had really positive experiences with the TJ staff and they seem to always go above and beyond. If you are a regular I wouldnt rule out the possibility of getting a refund.
re: Chefsquire
Even if you aren't a regular they will probably give you a refund. They have a "no questions asked" refund policy. The checker once gave me a refund when I just mentioned as she was ringing up my cottage cheese that the last carton I'd bought had been bad.
Expiration dates are really meaningless, as food can be good long after that date or can go bad before the date, depending on how it is handled and stored. For cheeses, I'd actually rather have a "packed on" date than a so-called expiration date. Cheeses (except for fresh cheeses like cream cheese, chevre, etc.) don't "expire" but the do deteriorate in quality the longer they sit in plastic wrap on the shelf.
Speaking of TJ's in particular, I think how well the dairy products are handled and stored tends to vary a little from store to store. I've never had any problems with dairy at my TJ's keeping well, but other people have claimed their TJ's dairy goes bad quickly. Since they use a centralized distribution system (as opposed to having the dairy deliver directly to the store), the freshness of the dairy might vary slightly depending on how far your store is from the distribution center.
I am an obsessive date checker, and even go so far as to feel products for temp before I put them in my cart. See the thing about perishable items at any grocery store is they're being stocked by human beings, and whats more, human beings being paid a pretty low wage. If perishable items aren't rotated properly when being stocked the older dates get pushed back in the case. Check your dates before you leave the store and if something doesn't meet your standards when you get it home, bring it back.
Unfortunately my experience is the same as yours. TJs is not very good at removing out of date items. Perhaps they assume that the turnover in the store is adequate to take care of it, and that people will accept their liberal return policy as the backstop measure. I have doubts that they have a consistent practice about pulling outdated dairy. It happens too often. I can't think of another store that has as bad a track record on dairy as TJs. I've posted about this before, and others have poo-poohed that it must be because I shop at a low-turnover store. Not so, in fact I've seen mention that my local store has one of the highest sales per square foot of any. Add to the problem with liquid dairy and cottage cheese, very often their pre-cut cheeses mold quickly.
This isn't a problem unique to Trader Joe's. In a tiny convenience store I frequent I had to point out an out of date half pint of milk the other day. No big deal, they threw it out. It's just something that sometimes gets missed when busy stocking or whatever. Yes, they should catch it, but any number of various scenarios could lead to them missing it. Who knows?
Anyway, tell them about it, that's the only way they will know they need to watch a little more closely. Also, they will refund your money, no problem with receipt. Just talk to the manager or bring it up at checkout. They will need the manager to come over for a return, but they will fix it if you give them a chance to.
A slip up can happen anywhere, in any department. I don't think it's a question of anyone's integrity, nor do I think we should give TJ, Whole Foods or anyone else credit for having "more integrity" than a local grocery chain. The business is pretty much the same and has most or all of the same potential problems. I remember once coming home from Whole Foods, we had bought some tetra pack of soup that turned out to be on the shelf with a use by date that was already weeks ago as I recall. At the very least, it was past the date when we bought it. We never even thought to check those dates for such items, as they're typically months ahead.
re: coney with everything
>>I'd have to say that the turnover of dairy at the TJ's closest to me is about 100% every two days, so I'm confident it's fresh.
At TJs, it is a real crap shoot. In SoCal, the fresh food flies off the shelf quickly and the stuff is really fresh.
In some of the Chicagoland stores, you really need to check the dates on most of the refrigerated stock (not frozen). I would attribute this to the unfamiliarity with certain products and that they do not source much of the product locally. Also, their fresh items seem to be a lot more expensive than many of the local independent markets like Caputo's and Eurofresh.
re: jlawrence01
I'm in Southern California. It isn't always fresh. Check the dates. I've even had stale popcorn.
I've seen mainline supermarkets doing date checks in the dairy department. I wonder if TJ's even includes this as a standard practice.
They checked the local supermarkets in my area including Trader Joes, Whole Foods and a local grocery store chain (Stew Lenards). Trader Joes (all 3 of them in the area) had no date violations.

A combination of freshly shucked corn, zucchini, edamame, dill, peppers and scallions gently cooked in cream make this a perfect late summer side dish. Filled with healthy vegetables, the medley has lots of corn flavor, smoky hints of bacon and a bit of heat from the jalapeños. It's delicious served hot or at room temperature.
|ears fresh corn (husks and silks removed)
|3 slices
|thick bacon (cut crosswise into 1/4-inch dice)
|1 small
|Earthbound Farm Organic Zucchini (cut into 1/4-inch dice)
|1 small
|Earthbound Farm Organic Red Bell Pepper (cut into 1/4-inch dice)
|jalapeño peppers (finely diced (seeds and ribs optional))
|1 cup
|shelled edamame (cooked according to package directions)
|2/3 cup
|heavy (whipping) cream
|2 tablespoons
|minced fresh dill (or basil, cilantro or tarragon, if you prefer)
Remove the kernels from the ears of corn with a sharp knife and set aside. Discard the cobs.
Cut off the green tops of the scallions and set aside. Thinly slice the white and light green parts and place in a bowl. Then thinly slice the dark green tops and reserve 1/4 cup in a separate bowl.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon to several layers of paper towels to drain; set aside.
Add the butter to the bacon fat in the skillet and place over medium-high heat. Add the corn, zucchini, white and light green scallions, red pepper, jalapeños and edamame to the skillet; cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is hot, about 2 minutes. Add the cream and bring to the start of a simmer. Then, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and most of the cream has been absorbed, 7 to 10 minutes.
Stir in the bacon, dark green scallions, and dill, and cook another minute to heat through. Season the medley with salt and pepper and serve hot or at room temperature. Leftovers can be refrigerated, covered, and gently re-warmed over low heat.

Erik Salitan lives 67 miles north of the Arctic Circle. For his first two years in Alaska, Erik lived in a primitive tent with no floor. It was simply shelter from the weather. There, Erik lived out the real definition of subsistence, and those memories remain his favorite. Erik is an unlikely entrepreneur who owns his own hunting and guiding business. During the off-season, Erik hunts, fly-fishes, and traps in the Alaskan bush. He also joins safari and hunting clubs in the lower 48 while building his business for the upcoming season.
Erik is a professional hunter and registered guide in Alaska. Fully self-sufficient, he personally kills every piece of meat he eats and will use the rest of the animal for clothing and tools. Erik came to Alaska at the age of 18 because he did not want to get stuck in a factory job. Although not born there, Erik believes Alaska is where he will die. Erik lives a modest life, but his backyard is a million dollar view. Alaska presents real challenges, but Erik is living his dream.
A successful day to Erik is a day spent doing his favorite things: walking around, looking at animals, climbing a hill, sitting on the edge of a mountain, and taking in the beautiful scenery. He enjoys being alone with no interruptions or distractions from his thoughts. This is his church; this is where he comes to think. Erik feels fortunate to be able to live as close to nature as he does. He is comfortable and believes he lives a plush lifestyle. Now the dangerous wilds of the North Slope are his playground, and he braves harsh elements and deadly wildlife every day. So long as he has his rifle by his side, Erik fears nothing.

Living alone in a land of peril, Erik's heightened awareness helps him survive.
A hunting guide, right on!
Surprised you use a assault rifle, not a traditional sporting rifle.
what make and model is your rifle. also info on your scope.
love your segment of the show the most
very informative
good luck and health
i just watched the episode with him killing the wolf. Yes I did cry but these people have to live off the land and can understand completely. I enjoy his commentaries. i give him so much credit for how he wants to live his life.
Eric, I've been wondering what model your .22 pistol is?
I will send it to your nearest post office.
May I send you a sample of the Speedy Sharp knife sharpener to your office? Totally free and I know you will use it all of the time. It is pocket sized and perfect for your neck of the woods. Just want you to see how easy it is to use. Just let me know where to send it to and what you think of it.
Thank you……Wayne
Erik, I can relate 100%. Living life on your own terms, doing what you want when you want is freedom. Unfortunately most people have not and will not ever experience it. I'm fairly similar to you, very similar in mindset although I'm not self sufficient in terms of harvesting my own own food. Keep going, dont ever have doubts and live an egoless life. I'm trying to do the same, just in a different way although I feel my life is headed towards a similar one to yours.
Out of watching all the people on the show i say he is the best to learn from Survival. And fur hunting and food hunting. How does someone contact you for information on training.
I love learn from you I roughed it 5 years no electric and water other what i made.
I want learn to hunt and skin animals and live with out dealing with people telling me i cant
Please send me some contact information firstname.lastname@example.com
Haven't seen you in the last few episodes. Have you left the show?
From one trapper, pilot, guide to another - I love your attitude and aptitude brother!!!!!
Glad to see they are running all the previous shows today. I will try and catch up.
Great show Erik, i love your life style and admire your way of life. I visited Alaska last year, and it was the best vacation i ever had. I really enjoy watching your show. I look forward to my next visit.
First, I am one of those "liberals" that some comments are making sweeping generalizations about that do no one any good. Let's stop hating each other. It doesn't get us anywhere.
Second, I love your show, Erik. I have so much respect for the cast and how you live. It is so different from how I live and I enjoy that aspect of getting a glimpse into your world. It takes a lot of courage to show the world your life. Please don't let the awful comments get to you. Lots of people admire the cast, even if it isn't our way of life.
Lastly, if you don't like the hunting, trapping, etc. don't watch the show. It's that easy. Just. Don't. Watch. Your comments are not going to suddenly change the way the cast (and other's in the region) live their lives. Have you seen the horrible television that is on 24-7 that presents gruesome fictionalized violence?? Show after awful show about murder, rape, and other nightmares. Why are people wasting their time criticizing the cast of this show, when they could spend that time writing to the major networks to criticize all those shows?
Hey Erik. How can someone contact you to plan a hunt up there?
Hey Erik no worries about what people say, especially people that have no idea what your life is like. Maybe they should live in a country where we have the right to do what we like to and if people don't like it all they have to do is not watch, what a concept huh?
So what happened to you, why are you not on the show any more??? Also wondering what a guy has to do to be able to find you to go hunting bears?
It is absolutely deplorable, in a modern civilized society people are still trapping animals for its fur! Why is the National Geographic glorifying these kind activities? What's even more disgusting, This Erik guy is doing it as a hobby to earn an extra buck!
There are always haters, most don't have a clue. I've missed seeing you, the others are interesting but your the one I like to watch the most. I'll be glad when you're back, it will make the show better.
Erik, love watching and learning from you on the show. Don't worry about the haters, I suspect they wouldn't last too long if they were in the wilderness. Keep up the good work.
Eric, enjoy the whole show and all the folks featured....have to wonder tho why you choose
to use those rifles that keep Jamming up on you?? Don't you think an old fashioned bolt-action
rifle would be more reliable in that cold cold environment? Regardless, I have much respect
for you and your chosen lifestyle and thank you for sharing it with us...
So glad your back. Was not happy when you were not on last season. I know sharing with us distracts from your quiet life but it is much appreciated. Thanks for returning.
Hay Erik how did u come about getting your land in the brooks range
I love the show but you seem too have a lust for killing when you have to resort to killing wolfs for profit when am sure there are other ways to generate money for supplies .what does one person do with all that meat?200 pounds plus?
I do admire your life style choice. Wish I could understand why you have to kill the wolfs and please don't say for population c control!
Erik, What caliber is your AR. 223/5.56 or another caliber like 6.5.. Also what type bullet do you use FMJ or Soft Point
I am so glad Erik back on the show , would not watch it if is not. He hunts and traps the animals just as the natives Indians did in this country. Oh yea they traded and sold furs as well!
Great that your back on the show Erik..The wife and I like watching the show just to watch you and Sue's lifestyle. Really missed you when you weren't on the show. Great hunting ethics as many are doing the same thing with the traps and rifles.
Beware, the liberal thought police have found this website/show. It wouldn't surprise me if some brain dead website directed them here. Most liberals have very few original thoughts.
You people criticizing Erik are pathetic. In your myopia, you see yourselves as gallant heroes for limiting your shopping to Trader Joes. You feel a sense of moral superiority when you eat your tofu and buy products made with recycled materials. The deep satisfaction you feel when you start your prius is sublime and knowing that you helped elect an incompetent black man, twice, makes you the intellectual elite of society. In short, your whole existence is a joke.
Erik is closer to the earth than all of you liberal zealots will ever be. Not that you could do it if you tried either. Erik survives in the roughest conditions because he is one with the land. He hunts, guides, traps, etc... for a living. That is his job, his livelihood. You New Yorkers and Californians sitting in judgement is laughable. You fear and despise Erik because he does not depend on the government and he doesnt ask your opinion. He is the ultimate free man. He lives and succeeds based on his own wit and sweat. The very antithesis of liberalism.
Bless you Erik, you are an example of a true outdoors-man. Stay safe and carry on.
Yeahhhhh! A show without Erik in it aired last week!
He kills animals to survive not for fun. He kills in a way where the animals do not suffer. Everyone on this show does. So people think about it. You eat beef, chicken, turkey, fish, someone out there is killing it for you.
I love Erik, I think he is the bomb. How he lives hunts and survives!!!
I am reading these posts with all these people criticizing the hunting and trapping...how its so inhumane. I think all of you need to do some searches online about the beef and chicken you buy out of the supermarkets. Chicken raised in complete darkness and fattened up so fast that they legs can't support them and they can barely drag themselves along to get to more feed...OR there legs just can't support them at all and then they are trampled to death or die of dehydration. Then cows that are raise in way over crowded pens up to the knee in feces and urine barley able to wade through it until they are fat enough to be bolt gunned and taken to the factory and blow torched to remove the hair and then disassembled on a production line...with a little mad cow and ecoli thrown in for good measure.....yea that's way more humane than trapping, hunting and processing your own food from nature.....Oh also just an FYI if you fast forward over Eric because he traps you better fast forward over the Hailstones to because he was boiling his traps the last episode....it might just be better if you stopped watching (or fast forwarding) and turn on a documentary about your own food....I bet you will want to fast forward through that real fast...and there will be an on-slot of new veterinarians!!!!!!
Look I have no issue with people who don't want to live that way but don't through stones because its different than how you do it....and get the fact about how inhumane our animals are treated before they hit the stores shelves...thats all I am saying
@Catherine G I love the show too, Catherine but I haven't seen Erik on it for quite a few episodes. Glenn Villeneuve seems to have taken his spot. I wondered if it had anything to do with the episode where Erik killed a wolf. I imagine all the Nature lovers and organizations wrote letters of protest because wolves are endangered in certain parts of the world - but not in Alaska. Hopefully National Geographic doesn't cave in to the pressure. Hunting and trapping are a big part of life in Alaska and omitting reality because of "public silliness" would be a travesty.
And for those who need a definition of "public silliness" - it's when you enjoy all the benefits of urban life (electricity, vehicles, store bought food and factory made shoes and clothing..etc, ...and then have the audacity to fault Erik for his activities. Erik lives a simple life and leaves the smallest of carbon footprints but most of the complainers share in destroying this planet with their lifestyle. I hope to see him back soon but it will take positive comments like yours, Catherine, and the others... as well, of course, show producers with backbone.
@CL Vining, As a card carrying "conservative", I applaud and totally agree with your comment. :)
Just not watching will not change the fact that he traps animals for fur. I will be outspoken about my hatred for people doing a thing like that. I already don't watch HIM (I fast forward when he is on), but still like others on the show. I still can say he does NOT kill to survive, but I believe he likes to kill. I also cannot believe that in this day and age people still buy fur!!!!
@Rizzo Mahazz Civilized.... you call shooting down airplanes civilized. You call the enslavement of the working class by Capitalists, civilized? You call the pollution of every corner of our earth, civilized. Really? Someday we will all be driven back to the land whether we like it or not. Good to learn some survival skills for the times to come.
How much meat do you go through in a winter. 200 seem like a lot when you're use to buying two or five pounds at a time. But think about how many calories they are burning out there and you'll understand he probably really does need all that and then some. And if your vegetarian he would probably need two to three times that much in vegetables just to make it the winter.
@georgia katz He kills the wolves for money when they are available. Wolves are usually pretty hard to find let alone kill. Just like you, he has a job. Trapping and killing animals is the way he makes his money.. I saw an episode where Agnes Hailstorm shot and killed a wolf for money , it's a way of life in Alaska.
@Michael Gilpin Spoken like the brain dead moron you are Michael... I am a liberal and I hunt and fish and I currently live in California (and yes, I have trapped for fur and meat). I don't drive a Prius, but I do have a Clean TDI diesel and I do shop at Trader Joes. I grew up on a farm, a real farm in the northwest of Washington State, right next to Canada. It was an organic farm, and we made our own soap and butter and hunted and fished and had a 3 acre garden 80 acres of Apple orchards, and 100 acres dedicated to other crops and livestock. I have taught survival courses and I do tournament bass fishing as a hobby. I can go anywhere in the world and live off the land.
But I choose to be what you despise, a liberal... Yes, I voted for the black guy. Yes, I have a conscious and actually care about taking care of our elderly and disabled (including veterans). No, I am not a selfish hating republicant that wants the elderly to starve and eat dog food like you do. And no, I am not a Democrat, I am independent, but a liberal none the less. Ninety seven percent of all republicants are idiots like you and they shoot themselves in the foot with every vote they cast... You are nothing but a puppet of the rich and greedy and you are doing a great job at parroting the agenda. You think all hunters are greedy filthy hating republicants like you. News flash brainiac, only the stupid ones are. I don't despise anyone that hunts or traps for a living (or hobby). I do believe in conservation, but that is just so that the few greedy bass-terds of the world don't kill the populations and leave some for the rest of us. (wolves are on that list because we have almost wiped them out and no, they have not recovered yet, but are close to it).
Anyone that hunts and/or fishes should be a liberal... The liberals are the only ones that care about protecting our hunting and fishing. The Republicants want to do away with the EPA and pollute everyone and everything. Erik is living in nature and loves doing so, but Alaska is feeling some serious teeth from global warming and they are talking about it on the show. Republicants are killing Erik's world and you are cheering them on like the cheer leader sock puppet you are. If you really want Erik to be able to carry on, then you need to get a clue and buy a vowel, because you ARE the problem Michael, you are killing nature all over the world. If you actually care, then you will want to be part of the solution.
Liberal thought police, signing off.
Take out the word 'black' and your points would be better received.
@Bonnie Rosenthal How true Bonnie and Becca. There is a big difference though between Erik's game and the meat we buy in the stores. Many domesticated animals are raised in deplorable conditions. Then they have to be pumped full of steroids and growth hormones and antibiotics to keep them alive and growing in those congested conditions. Hope you are on their case Evelyn Lavigne.
@Bonnie Rosenthal So true....these guys hunt and trap when the season is open...population control that is apparently necessary or else they won't open a season for that animal.
U r so right. At least they kill humanely. Today r chicken is forced fed, n they hang them up side down ALIVE n they go down the line n then their heads r cut. N r Pork? That's even worse. These r smart n affectionate animals n their kept their whole lives in a pen where they cannot move forward, backward n side to side.... N shall we talk about beef?
My point is what we eat is killed so in humanely in have cut back on all meats unless I kno the farm.
@Bonnie Rosenthal He killed a wolf to survive? Did he eat him? or was it just for fur? He is disgusting to me!
Thank u A. Ur right. Most people don't kno that the chicken they eat r virtually tortured in the process of being killed. Pork too.
I will only eat free range eggs, locally grown pork n beef that was raised n killed in a humane way. This is all more expensive but I don't eat meat as often to overcome the $$. All this is easy to find in any area w google.......
@A. Thibado two wrongs don't make a right. I don't approve of the animal industry in
America and I don't approve of hunting/trapping for fur. Just because you can cite animal cruelty here, doesn't make the way Eric traps the animals right. I love the other people on the show, just not Eric. And I will still fast forward anytime he comes on. I am well aware of the cruelty going on in the meat business here. That doesn't mean I have to approve of other cruelties.
@Evelyn Lavigne @CL Vining Mankind has survived for eons hunting, fishing and gathering and done little to no damage to our environment. But I bet you drive a car, Evelyn. And I bet you watch TV and wash and dry your clothes using electrical appliances. You do much more damage to our environment than someone like Erik.
Hatred? Really? I'll pray for you.
@M M @Michael Gilpin Well if he did that (take out the word black) then we would think he was talking about Bush Junior. The country went from a surplus to a near depression during his reign. Good thing someone with brains followed him. Things may not be great yet but he sure dug the country out of a big mess. But back to Michael's comments ........if you don't like the status quo, Michael, there is room for you in Alaska as well.
@Evelyn Lavigne nobody eats wolves, they are scavengers. He's has to make money, just like you.
@Evelyn Lavigne @Bonnie Rosenthal
Then stop watching.
@Evelyn Lavigne @A. Thibado OMGosh you are just not getting it Evelyn. Erik's way of life does not damage the world but YOUR lifestyle does. Unless of course you don't have a vehicle and just use green forms of transportation (like a bicycle), you don't have electricity in your home and you don't use any electrical appliances and you grow your own food. If you do that, I apologize.... but even then I bet you don't walk around naked. How do you think your clothing and shoes are made?......just in case you haven't given that a thought.....they are made in polluting factories that damage every ecosystem on earth. So leave Erik alone until you have cleaned up your own act.
Eric eats everything he kills. That's been stated many times. Nothing goes to waste.
U sound like a vegan...... Which is ok. Ur just so mean
@Terry Brown Pray for a brain terry, I don't think that diploma the wizard gave you is worth the paper it's written on.
@Becca Dorsey He doesn't eat wolf Becca although I'm sure he would if it was the only thing to eat (anyone would). But he does get a big chunk of change from the fur, and that is why he killed it. (it probably would have been better not to air that as it is upsetting to a lot of people, especially since wolf populations are still very weak).

Despite having the option to buy out his contract and pay him about half of his salary, the Washington Wizards have decided to pick up Andre Miller's option which is worth nearly $5 million dollars.
According to CSN Washington, Andre Miller has been notified that he will be back in a Wizards uniform next season.
The Wizards have told Andre Miller that he'll be retained via the $4.6 million option on his contract for the 2014-15 season, his agent Andy Miller confirmed to CSNwashington.com on Friday.
The 38-year old point guard was acquired in a trade-deadline deal involving Jan Vesely, who the team picked sixth overall in the 2011 NBA Draft and Eric Maynor, who received the bi-annual exception from the Wizards last summer. Maynor struggled mightily in Washington, and it was clear that the team needed to acquire a competent backup guard behind John Wall. Andre Miller was that guy.
Although Andre Miller didn't put up spectacular numbers–averaging just under 4 points and 4 assists in the nation's capital–he did provide the stability Washington was desperately seeking before the start of the NBA Playoffs. Prof. Andre Miller provided tremendous stability to the bench, and even helped lead Washington to a Game 1 victory over the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the playoffs. The Wizards had traded guard Jordan Clarkson last night to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for cash considerations, so bringing back Andre Miller was a no-brainer.
There were earlier reports that the Wizards were leaning towards bringing back Andre Miller, but now it's all done. He will be back with the Wizards next season. Andre Miller called Washington one of his top destinations after his relationship fell apart with the Denver Nuggets and ultimately became a big part of their team as time went on. He won't be asked to play big minutes, but at 38-years old, Miller has proven that he still has games left in the tank. Basically, Andre Miller fits what the Wizards are looking for in a backup point guard.
Welcome back, Professor Andre Miller.

Of course! I haven't fully set everything up yet on the other group, so you are more than welcome to send in your application here!
I realize that people have finals coming up this week and next week (Dec. 3-14) so I will be lenient when it comes to activity. Personally, I have finals every school day from the 7th to the 14th, so I know what it will be like trying to be online and study.
That being said, I will be performing an activity check on the 16th-17th. I'm working on the new layout for the new blog, and once I'm done I will be making updates and everything from that page this one will be deleted once you've had time to follow it.
I'm going to be opening an actual blog for the group, instead of having a side blog. So, once I'm finished updating the group blog I will be posting the link for it and deleting the old blog once I've given people time to follow the new one.
Yes! We are! I'm sorry it seems like we're inactive. I'm having a lot going on at school, and I'm not sure if I have a co-admin or not so it's just me running this for the most part. >_>
But yes!
Best Smut RP
- 1st Place - mysteryislandrpg
- 2nd Place - diamondelitesrp and glee-enslaved
We have?! Oh my god, that's awesome.
Edit: I looked through this and omg I'm like…almost screaming right now. First of all, a group I created has never been nominated for anything so allow me to just fangirl for a moment. Okay. Then, our Brittana, Klaine, and Finchel couples have all been nominated for Smut Characters, and Blaine, Kurt, Finn, and Rachel have all won (if I'm understanding this correctly) because we were the only smut characters nominated. GO VOTE FOR BRITTANA AND OUR GROUP TO WIN.
I'm still here, I promise I didn't forget about you, loves. I've had a rough week school wise, so my activity's taken a dip but I'm here I promise. Now that it's the weekend, it should be a little easier. I might not be here tomorrow much (my sister gave me the biggest guilt trip I have ever heard so I'm going to have to hang out with her), but I should be here Sunday.
Plus, I'll be here for the next 3.5 hours or so! :)
If you're going to change your url, let me know so I can update the follow list. And I still need people to link back to the main rpg on their pages, pretty please?
I need to remind you all that a link back to the rpg needs to be on your homepages, please.
The following characters have been reopened due to personal reasons.
