text: Our Footloose Correspondents June 5, 1954 Issue THE TESTING OF M. THULIER By Charles Wertenbaker View Issue» THE TESTING OF M. THULIER The New Yorker, June 5, 1954 P. 73 ABSTRACT: FOOTLOOSE CORRESPONDENTS piece about "Guide Michelin" and about accompanying a Michelin inspector on a tour of hotels and restaurants listed in the Guide, to check on their standards. Les Baux was at one time a fortress city, larger than Garcasonne, but is less well preserved. Louis Treize destroyed it in 1632 because somebody disputed his authority. What is left of Les Baux lives on tourism. It gave its name to Bauxite, which was discovered near there in 1821. The deposits right there have long since been worked out, but it's still mined in the area. The valley below is called Val d'Enfer, and it is said that Dante got his concept of the Infern from it. Tells about a visit to Maumaniere, half a mile from there, the only restaurant in France to advance from a two-star to a three-star rating in the Guide.

Montreal, Evening Street Scene
I thought I had finished posting photos of Canada when I found this one. I thought that the photo had potential so after a bit of editing I ended up with a version I was happy with. The shot itself was one which I took while walking past this area. Set the camera up on […]
Quebec Boardwalk by Night
One of the main features of Old Quebec is The Château Frontenac and the vast boardwalk which sits in front of it. The boardwalk is a very busy thoroughfare during the day and especially at night. The dominant Château Frontenac is a now a luxury hotel in Vieux-Québec or Old Quebec which is currently operated […]
Chinese Gardens in Montreal Botanical Gardens
If you are in Montreal you must visit the Montreal Botanical Gardens. Highlight of these amazing gardens was the Chinese gardens and buildings. The vivid colours were striking with Greens and the reds from the buildings. In order not to white out the colours with the intense sun I found some shade and this allowed […]
Notre-Dame Basilica, Place d'Armes, Montreal
The Notre-Dame Basilica, is located in Place d'Armes, Montreal, opposite where the photo of the Maisonneuve Monument was taken. Again the area was swarming with tourists so I opted for a long exposure. The shot was taken with the same wide angle Tamron 10-24mm lens. The result, Notre-Dame Basilica, is shown below. The photo is […]
Marché Bonsecours Montreal – A Second Version
I added a photo of Marché Bonsecours Montreal as part of my Project52 earlier this week but I have found an alternate version which might be of interest. I was taken earlier in the evening and from a slightly different angle. The sky is less red and it is easier to see the detail in […]
Marché Bonsecours Montreal Sunset – 33/Project52
Of all the photos of Montreal I think this turned out the best. It is a photo of Marché Bonsecours Montreal at Sunset. Near sunset I could see that the sky would be quite interesting. I also had an ND9 and a ND Grad filter in my camera bag and decided to use these to […]
Montreal Street View – 32/Project52
Street Photography is something I have being trying to do some more of recently and this next shot is a photo from Montreal which I really like because of the lighting and the way the sun hits the buildings. The sun was setting and the sky still had a bit of interest. There were also […]
Niagara Falls at Night – 30/Project52
Working without a tripod is always recommended, working without a tripod in low light is vital … how about doing a long exposure without a tripod? The following image was taken at Niagara Falls about 30 minutes after sunset and it was a 20 second long exposure of Niagara Falls at Night. Thanks to a […]
Timelapse of Ottawa, Canada
Just another time-lapse experiment taken in Ottawa. The footage was taken on the iPhone from the Fairmont Château Laurier looking down towards Parliament hill. The footage compresses about 1 hour 10 minutes into the under 60 second clip. I was hoping to capture the early morning march and parade to Parliament Hill but it did […]

Kansas City is one of the best sports towns in the country, and KC Kingdom has a lot of fun bringing you news from around the area for our professional and collegiate teams.
Few fans are as passionate about their teams than Kansas City fans, whether it is making Arrowhead Stadium the loudest outside venue in the world, or filling up Sporting Park each match, or being Royal in Kauffman Stadium. The area also supports three of the most passionate college fan bases in the country.
Each morning, we will try to bring you some news from around our sports kingdom, in addition to the news, information, editorials, and analysis KC Kingdom already provides.
We may also pass along an interesting post or two from around the world-wide web, just for fun.
We hope enjoy the news from Around The Kingdom. Happy reading
The baseball June draft completed it's first two rounds on Thursday night, and continues today a 12:00 PM CST with rounds 3-10. Here on KC Kingdom, you can see profiles for all four of the Royals draftees in the first two rounds. However, Tyler Drenon at Royals Review can't help but look back at GM Dayton Moore's prior drafts and wonder "What if?"
Meanwhile, Hunter Samuel of Kings of Kauffman ignores all the the draft hoopla and instead focuses on the current lineup's offensive shortcomings by digging into Eric Hosmer's struggles during the month of May:
Usually, it's that contact on balls that is the biggest issue for players displaying a lack of power. But in Hosmer's case, it's actually the contact he's making on pitches inside the strike zone that's the problem.
Meanwhile, over at Arrowhead Stadium, everyone is still buzzing about Alex Smith's contract situation—including national media. SI.com's Andrew Brandt (a former front office executive in Green Bay) analyzed both Colin Kaepernick's new contract in S.F. and the negotiations for Alex Smith.
Many have argued that CB Brandon Flowers' failure to appear at OTAs, suggests the Chiefs are either trying to deal him or cut him in order to create cap room for an Alex Smith extension. Arrowhead Pride's Matt Verderame argues that cutting Flowers would be a disaster.
Be sure to check out KC Kingdom throughout the day for news on the Chiefs, Royals, Sporting KC, Tigers, Wildcats, and Jayhawks.

RICHLAND -- It's not NASCAR, but you wouldn't know it witnessing the tenacity both on and off the track by competitors and fans during the 2010 International Karting Federation 4-Cycle Sprint and Shifter Grand Nationals at Horn Rapids ORV in Richland on Thursday.
The event, which had racers from under 10 years older to over 60, had some of the best kart racers in the nation travel to Tri-Cities to compete, with several races coming down to the final lap -- and even the final turn -- to decide a winner.
"Any time you get a chance to race against your best friends in the world it's great," said Chris Hatch of Dallas, Ore. "It's a rivalry, and you want to beat each other, but you don't mess with each other. It's a mutual respect."
Hatch won Thursday's final race, the 17-lap Senior World Formula Masters, after losing and regaining the lead from Michael Schorn of Banks, Ore., nearing the final laps of the race.
The field opened up after pole winner and early leader Gabriel Kajdy of Calgary, Alberta bent an axle on his kart and was forced to leave the race after less than a lap.
Bryan Green of Portland took third in the race, while Luke Pasco of Calgary (fourth) and Scott Barlee of Surrey, British Columbia, (fifth) rounded out the podium.
In the 17-lap Senior F200 race, Brody Roa of Buena Park, Calif., regained an early lead after losing it to eventual runner-up Joey Miller of Richland.
Miller passed Roa late in the race on Turn 1 on the inside, but a resilient Roa took it right back on Turn 2 and never looked back the rest of the way.
"I love racing," Roa said after. "It was a good (race). I saw (Miller) creep up next to me. Joe came up under me and then I came back under him. I picked it up a little bit because I knew I had to get on it."
Tristen Orear of Yucaipa, Calif., took third, Cory Gwin of Rio Linda, Calif., took fourth and Matt Jones of Buena Park finished fifth.
In the Junior 2 World Formula Light race, West Richland's Artie Carpenter stole the show and was showered by water bottles of friends and family after, leading the race from start to finish despite a late surge by runner-up Colton Schultz of Spokane.
Myles Pederson of Meridian, Idaho, was third, while Payton Manthei of West Richland was fourth and Hailey Groff of Richland was fifth.
"It was amazing," Carpenter said of the win. "It was stressful. I thought, 'Don't worry and don't mess up.'"
Tim Lawrence of Nampa, Idaho, edged Terry Lawrence of Boise, Idaho, in a tight race in the Senior Animal Heavy division. Robert Towne of Red Bluff, Calif., finished third, Alan Cathey of Boise fourth and Brett Lucas of West Richland fifth.
In a family battle in the Senior World Formula Light race, Cathey and future brother-in-law Lucas went back and forth most of the race before Cathey pulled away for the win.
Lucas, meanwhile, fell to third after a failed inside move to take first, and his opportunistic uncle Burt Gasaway (of Green Acres, Wash.) stole second place. Orear took fourth.
In the Junior 1 Gas Animal Light division, Sting Ray Robb of Boise took first, while Tyler Brown of Kennewick was second, Davey Manthei Jr. of Pasco was third and Brittany Zamora of Kennewick was fourth.
All results were unofficial until post tech inspections were complete and any contested races were settled officially.

PHOEBE PRINCE. Suicide. Bullying victim. Depressive.
As Emily Bazelon wrote in a sensitive series for Slate (and, presumably, in her soon-to-be released book about teenage bullying, "Stick and Stones," reviewed in today's Wall Street Journal), the path that led 15-year-old Phoebe Prince to take her own life was not filled solely with bullying, but it was interlaced with Phoebe's episodes of depression, mood disorder, cutting and promiscuity. She chose well-meaning but ill-equipped boys as confidants rather than trusted adults who may have been able to help her deal with her problems.
It is serendipitous that FAN will have two experts in successive weeks talking about depression and mood disorders and then teenage bullying. We will start with Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison on Feb. 26 and follow with Emily Bazelon on March 6. As in the sad case of Phoebe Prince, there are sometimes uneasy connections between the two subjects.
When headline-making suicides and bullying incidents become top of mind, parents often want to point their fingers somewhere: the schools, Facebook, those mean kids. (Bazelon, according to the WSJ review and another in The Atlantic, examines those culprits in her book.)
But we were taken with Bazelon's plea, which the WSJ says was only "glancingly" addressed: "We have to instill in kids the paramount value of kindness — to show them that it's more important to come together than to finish first, that other people's feelings can take precedence over one's own, that relationships matter more than tasks."
The WSJ reviewer goes on to conclude that "what children need most, surely, is a proper upbringing. After all, charity begins at home."
That seems a little simplistic to us, but bullying expert Stuart Tremlow has said many times is that schools and communities can have all the anti-bullying programs they want, but they will not work until parents become an integral part of a comprehensive solution.
"Bullying is a social process, not a person," said Twemlow in an article called "Can We Eliminate Bullying from Schools and Communities?" "Working intensely with parents as active participants in the education of their children and creators of future citizen leaders makes the school as closely knit to a community as a mother is to her infant."

Have you heard the news? ONS is consolidating our annual Congress with the Connections: Advancing Care Through Science conference. Throughout 2014 and 2015, we'll evolve the current Congress format to incorporate programs that serve all of our members: novice to expert oncology nurses in general and advanced specialty practice, management, education, and research. This powerful opportunity will bring together ONS members in all practice settings and at all career levels, providing a richer learning experience for all.
What should the new conference experience be like? You tell us! We'll post a question of the day on the ONS Facebook and Twitter pages from Thursday–Saturday. Please share your ideas with us in the Facebook comments, or use the hashtag #TellONS to share your ideas. When you do, you'll be entered into a drawing for a free one-year ONS membership. If you visit the ONS booth and show us your post/tweet, we'll give you an extra ticket for the attendee raffle!
To make sure our new conference meets your goals, we will also be conducting focus groups with different member segments. Along with ONS Board member Debbie Walker, I'll be holding an open forum discussion about our national conferences on Friday, May 2, from 1–1:45 pm. Please tell us what matters to you then at The Future of ONS National Conferences.
These next two years will be an exciting time of change for ONS conferences, and I'm looking forward to your participation in that process.

Leading Yorkshire artists celebrate North York Moors National Park's 60th Anniversary.
The North York Moors National Park's 60th anniversary kicks off in great style with a stunning and diverse collection of work by six of the region's leading contemporary artists. The artists all live and work in the region, sharing a passionate appreciation of this atmospheric place.
This is a great opportunity to see the work of painters, Peter Hicks, Len Tabner and William Tillyer, glass artists Stephen Gillies and Kate Jones and photographer, Joe Cornish all of whom have built sizeable reputations both nationally and internationally with their work widely distributed throughout private and public collections both in this country and abroad.
A rich artistic seam runs through the whole of the North York Moors in this region of great contrasts. Artists have long been attracted to this much-loved region, impressed by its wild moorlands, serene dales, big, open skies and majestic coastline. These, combined with the beguiling effects of light over this ancient landscape and restless sea, have spurred artists on to creating extraordinary work.

Dried Chestnuts
Our Customers Thought
These are great. We bought two one-pound bags in October, 2013, a year ago. We promptly boiled one bag and they were great. The other bag worked its way to the back of the fridge and was only discovered last week (one year later!). I boiled them up and they were just as fresh as the other bag, last fall. Yes, they'll keep (refrigerated) for a year! After boiling, they're wet, so I think I'll give them a short ride in the toaster oven to get that "roasting on an open fire" consistency.Tom, Salisbury, MD
October 16, 2014
I grew up in Boston's North End and I have been eating a pound or two every year since I was a teenager and I'm now sixty five. I take them hunting and eat them while watching TV. My brother sent me a pound of your dried chestnuts and the bag is gone, you have a new customer. Thank you for a fresh product. I eat them raw and still have all of my teeth.Joseph, Leesburg, Florida
September 30, 2014
I just received an order of dried chestnuts from nuts.com. OMGosh It came the next day....I just ordered yesterday! The chestnuts are sweet and smokey, the way they are supposed to be. I have tried buying chestnuts forever and all the ones that I have tried, from numerous vendors, are grown in the USA. Those were not rich and sweet and didn't have a ripe naturally smokey aroma. These are the kind I remember from italy. The aroma and taste are incredible. I have not had nuts like this for 6 yrs, ever since my other supplier dropped them. I have bought and had to throw away many pounds of chestnuts before finding these. Tonight we make a wonderful chestnut loaf for our main course at dinner. Thanks to nuts.com.Susan, wht mtns, NH

The best nuts ever at a reasonable price! Had ordered for the second time last week, was out of town, came back to find my husband had eaten my one bag of Macadamias. He had almonds, pistachios and dried chestnuts and ate the one bag I ordered for myself, ugh. Just ordered 4 more bags of macadamias, I'll give him one and I'm hiding the other three. They're absolutely the biggest and freshest I've ever had. Almonds, pistachios, dried chestnuts and peanuts have been excellent. Looking forward to ordering Chestnuts in October. You guys are great and I just LOVE your box! Kelly LobruttoKelly, Cazenovia, NY

Solicitors from Hell website forced offline
Readers' comments (23)
While Kordowski employed some rather unorthodox methods, his efforts are to be commended. I will personally be glad to assist with the transfer of hosting to a US site, where libel laws specifically protect US citizens from UK libel actions.
Having had to deal with a solicitor who failed to follow up a matter until it was out of time with another regulator, then failed either to pay to me money held from my late wife's estate, or account to me or IR/HMRC for the tax on it the site will be missed.
With regards to Anonymous | 9-Jan-2012 7:44 pm post stating that a solicitor failed to "account to me or IR/HMRC for the tax". With regards to my late Mother's Estate we found that it was impossible to independently verify the amount of Inheritance Tax(IHT) that had been taken out of the Estate and off the Beneficiaries. HMRC refused to even discuss the Inheritance Tax with us as we were not the Executors of the Estate. The Executors of the Estate were the firm of Solicitors who had written up my elderly Mother's Will and also acted as Trustees, Administrators of the Estate and IHT advisers!
The Grant of Probate doesn't even state how much IHT has been taken out of the Estate. This is clearly an area where greater transparency is needed because as it stands such a lack of transparency and accountability could be open to all types of abuse. A Beneficiary should be able to independently verify with HMRC the amount of IHT that has been paid or it should be clearly stated and verified on the Grant of Probate.

The Bully Button: New Tool Is Either World's Greatest Anti-Bully Weapon or Terrifying Fascist Plot
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
If you and I were together on the middle-school playground and you could poke me in the gut while calling me a stupid cripple and nobody would see us except seven passive cowards and three of your suck-up toadies, would you? Sure you would.
But what if I could film you on my iPhone? Better yet, what if with one click I could send this footage instantly to school administrators, your parents and mine and the police?
A new app can do that. Last week, OptimizeApps.com launched its Bully Button, which allows users to document and report bullying incidents with a single touch. An upgrade, to be launched in two months, adds GPS and other features ascertaining the bullying incident's exact time, place and even barometric pressure.
This is either the world's greatest anti-bully weapon or a terrifying fascist plot.
"My theory is one of complete transparency," says OptimizeApps CEO Thomas Murphy. "Everything's on camera now. That's just how it is. If you're doing something that's good to be doing, it doesn't matter whether or not we see you doing it. If you're doing something bad that you're ashamed of doing, then you shouldn't be doing it."
Bullying is bad, mmkay? No, seriously: so bad that it sometimes ends in suicide. The martyrs' roll call is a harsh reality: Jamey Rodemeyer. Jamie Hubley. Jared High. Tyler Clementi. Haylee Fentress. Paige Moravetz. Phoebe Prince. I was bullied and perhaps so were you, and it was horrible. But should victims fight back? Some have, and were arrested for assault. Last year, Australian teen Casey Heynes body-slammed his longtime tormentor. The video went viral. Casey, hailed as a hero by thousands worldwide, was suspended. Witnesses and victims are advised to report bullies to authorities. This helps victims feel less alone. But does it also teach passivity?
Launching StopBullying.gov and convening the first-ever National Bullying Summit in March, Barack Obama announced that bullying is "not something we have to accept." True. But are anti-bullying campaigns sending the wrong message? And how might instant-documentation technology change that?
No child should hurt. But, urged to report incidents and people to authorities, we enter a moral morass. Where do we draw lines between tattling and telling, big brother and Big Brother, safety and Stasi, self-defense and free speech? We are beset these days by mixed signals, which sometimes stem from the same source: Passive resistance or stand up, fight back?
Bullies use mainly words, whose damage can't be measured, noun by devastating noun, as can the work of sticks and stones. Words are subjective. Words are protected by law, which also cannot control for the wildly variable points on each of our personal gauges at which teasing becomes torture and comments are crimes.
So: What to tell and how to tell it and to whom and when?
Barbara Coloroso, author of The Bully, the Bullied and the Bystander (Morrow, 2009), says while that anti-bullying campaigns raise long-overdue awareness, they're largely counterproductive because they're inconsistent, spottily enforced and tend not to empower victims, whom she prefers to call "targets." Coloroso says few anti-bullying programs teach targets to stand firm.
"These programs advise kids to tell bullies, 'Please stop. That hurts.' Don't say that to a bully! They'll love it! Instead, we should teach targets to be aggressive. Assertion dissipates bullying. Passivity invites it."
But how assertive? That's another line we hesitate to draw. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold "were covered on a regular basis with ketchup and mustard by athletes at Columbine High. Nothing justifies what Eric and Dylan did, but we've got to look at the climate in which these things occur."

"How can I collect a set of bear tracks?" was the query put to one of the naturalists recently. The process by which liquid plaster is poured into a fresh animal track, allowed to harden, and this cast used as a negative from which to produce a replica of the original was described. The visitor then went on to explain that a friend in Tennesee is planning a rustic cabin for a troop of Boy Scouts, and in the process of construction has conceived the novel idea of impressing the tracks of various Wild animals; bear, deer, raccoon and rabbit into the fresh cement of the sidewalk. Using the negative blocks of plaster sent from Mt. Rainier in place of the actual feet and paws, in connection with a photograph showing the correct spacing of steps the scoutmaster will reproduce the hop, skip, and jump of the rabbit and the heavy tread of the black bear. And so by going outside the door of their cabin the boys will be able to study at first hand the footprints of animals that are roaming the wilderness 3000 miles to the westward.
We were reminded of the now famous collection of footprints of movie stars in the foyer of one of the Hollywood theaters. Doubtless an actress is easily persuaded to register the size of a shapely foot in everlasting concrete, but the print of a wild animal must needs be taken with neither his knowledge or consent.

i've been neglecting the world outside of my bed,
cause nothing bad happens when i'm playing dead.
i'm wrapped up in blankets, and
watching scary movies.
and i wish you were here,right now, with me.
and lately i've started
drowning my feelings,
by constantly drinking and forgetting
my memories,
'cause i don't want them to be
a part of me and who i've become
sometimes i wonder, if you still think of me
like how you are doing? do you think the same?
i know that i fucked up but i'd rather blame
all other people who have problems with me
i'm locked inside my own shelter
from the cruelties of winter
and into the spring and the heat of summer.
i'd rather hide from myself and from everyone else
than accept the ways i've faltered
Deftones - Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away) (Video) (by deftones)
one of my favorite deftones songs.. rest in piece Chi <3
i am infamous, notorious at best
this town hates me an i'm okay with that
cause i've never been too fond of them
blast beats and skinny jeans
just don't mix with preppy sluts and drama queens
i'd rather sit in my room than watch football games
and i guess that makes me gay
oh, but that's ironic
cause it's sure not straight to
suck a dick in the locker room
and watch the quarterback
fuck the water boy in the ass
all because he cant get laid
by that fat ass bitch in chemistry
cause she doesn't drink
so he cant make a mistake
faking his way through life
one touchdown pass at a time
handed an "A" in every class
just so he can play
a hometown hero
a washed up wanna be 10 years down the road
im glad im not like that
there's bodies in the walls
this song will make you cry….

we are all the end of the world…

The month of April is Autism Awareness Month, an entire month devoted to raising awareness about this disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention one in every 88 children is diagnosed with some form of autism — 1 in 54 boys and 1 in 252 girls, meaning boys are five times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls. Nearly every 20 minutes someone is diagnosed with autism. It's the fastest growing developmental disorder, yet it is also the most underfunded.
Autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that generally appears before the age of 3. It impacts the normal development of the brain in the areas of social interaction, communication skills, and cognitive function. People with autism typically have difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, social interactions, and leisure or play activities.
Currently there is no cure for autism, though with early intervention and treatment, the diverse symptoms related to autism can be greatly improved and in some cases, completely overcome. While there is no cure, autism is treatable. It is not a hopeless condition.
while the month of April is Autism Awareness Month, the seventh annual World Autism Awareness Day is April 2, 2014. On December 18, 2007, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 62/139, tabled by the State of Qatar, which declares April 2 as World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) in perpetuity. Every year, autism organizations around the world celebrate the day with unique fundraising and awareness-raising events.

Josh Miller wrote a question about K2 Coomback Ski on October 1, 2012
has anyone skied these in the east on the ice? sounds like a great ski but not sure it will hold up on the hard pack because of the cap construction
has anyone skied these in the east on the ice? sounds like a great ski but not sure it will hold up on the hard pack because of the cap construction
0 Answers
Is this a stiff ski?
Currently I am on '09-'10 Armada El Rey skis, I like them, but they are too flexy for me.
I want a more aggressive ski, would this be a good fit? I want to be able to ski absolutely everything, all snow conditions, all places on the mountain, send small/medium drops, with an emphasis on tree skiing. Is this ski a good choice?
My skis now have cap construction, I wanted to go to sidewall construction for better edge hold on harder surfaces, but would this ski do the job?
Right now I am debating between this ski, the Salomon Shogun, and the Blizzard Cochise. Time wise, I ski about 35% groomers, 35% trees/glades, and the rest in powder. I am leaning towards the TST or Shogun. What would you recommend?
Good tree ski?
I ski in the glades a lot here on the east coast, would these skis do well in the woods?
I also ski groomers and love to hit the pow hard when the jay cloud (jay peak, vt) gives us 18" of fluffy white. Seems to me these skis would be great for groomers, pow, and whatever else I could throw at them.
Any other recommendations for similar skis that might perform well in the woods/everywhere else?
Thanks guys
Is the inside of the goggles (i.e. the inside of the lense) as sensitive to the touch as oakley lenses? I like oakleys but am turned off by the fact the the lenses are so delicate, i really like these goggles but dont want to get them if they have a similar problem.

The Algebrator was very helpful, it helped me get back on track and bring back my skills for my next school season. The program shows step by step solutions which made learning easier. I think this would be very helpful to anyone just starting to learn algebra, or even if they already know it, it would sharpen their skills.
Jeff Kasten, MI
There are so many algebra programs available. I dont know how I got stuck with yours, but academically speaking, it is the best thing that has ever happened to me!

I was just fascinated to see human-like steps to all the problems I entered. Remarkable!

By the time we packed everything up and got out to the van, our runner 12, David, was either in the exchange or very close to it. While our runner 1 was getting all his gear together, David was definitely in the exchange. We set off slightly fuzzy, and then all too soon, my husband, our runner 2 was off. I was up next. Even though I knew full well that the temperatures were going to be in the 20's, I just packed a long sleeve Lux Layer, a running jacket, some compression socks and my trusty Long Rogas for this leg. I probably could have gone with capris (or even long tights!) for this run, but no matter. Jason came into the exchange and handed off the slap bracelet right after a large group of runners had come through. I was happy that I would have company on this very dark leg: it was about 4AM. Another woman had come through just a few moments before Jason, and I was hoping to catch up to her. Almost immediately, I had the sensation that my shorts were not sitting as low on my legs, where I was used to feeling them hit. I kept checking to see that they were still there. They weren't riding up: my legs were so numb that I couldn't feel that they were there anymore.
My rabbit stayed in front of me. She wasn't getting any closer, she wasn't getting any farther away. It looked like she was keeping the exact same pace as me, which, at that hour, was the most desperate and sad position for me to be in. I wanted company. It was juuuust out of reach ever so slightly. Lots of vans had pulled over to offer support for their runners, and van-mates' shadows from the headlights were long and spindly on the road. I watched these shadows move across the road as people crossed to offer water and encouragement to the runners. Then, oddly, a short stubby shadow trotted across from the far side of the road.
It was a dog.
Now, last year my teammate Lindsay had been trailed by some feral dogs during this race. A friend on dailymile warned me that one of her friends had actually been attacked two years previous. I readied myself to get ready to... what? I don't know. Kick, I guess. Blind the attacking dog with my headlamp? I had left the mace in the van and wasn't carrying a water bottle.
But, this dog was a happy puppy. He flitted back and forth from the shoulder and the road, then stuck close to a few runners ahead of me. As I passed them, he picked up with me for a while, and then surged up to run with my rabbit. Ragnar pup had joined the race.
About a mile from the exchange, I had slowly inched up to my rabbit, and asked her if I could run with her and the pup. She said, sure. We didn't talk much, except to complain lightly about the dog's habit of running right under our feet. As we came into the exchange, we tried to give the dog some water. He had no collar except for one to protect him against fleas and ticks. It was a shame, because he had to be at least 4 miles from home at that point. Everyone around us was enchanted with Ragnar pup. But, he wasn't interested in sticking around, and soon was off with the next runner out of the exchange.
My Ragnar was done. It was a great feeling of relief. I was so happy about being done that I didn't bother changing out of any of my sweaty clothes, but just piled on more layers to keep warm. Apparently that wasn't going to fly. As I drifted off into a drowsy nap in the back of the van, my sweet husband sprayed me down with Febreeze. ("I love you, honey, but you smell reeeeeaaaally bad".)
Ragnar pup made several more appearances on the course. Someone in the van joked that he was *clearly* on an ultra team. I hope that he found his way home.
We waited at the next exchange with the van engine running so the heater would keep the car warm. We had a timer going on our runner, who apparently wasn't so optimistic about what his pace was going to be. Our next runner was ready to go, but to keep warm, we waited in the van. Our runner, however, had killed it. He sped through his leg, and was already waiting in the exchange, where it was 20-something degrees.
There was a Ragnar volunteer at our van window. Knock, knock, knock. "Van 165?"
"Yes! That's us!" we said.
"Your runner is in the exchange". (Probably frozen to the core.)
Oh Aron! We failed you. Thankfully, he was a true sport about it, and we continued on. The sun began to peek out its head, and as the world became light again, I felt a lot more energy.
We headed to Exchange 30 to cheer in our runner and say hey to the rest of the team. As we watched Holly tear off again, we piled back into the van in search of what every Relay runner wants in the morning: COFFEE. Thankfully, there is a great Starbucks in Franklin, TN, and we loaded up on java and breakfast goods.
After that, we had several hours to whittle away as Van 2 tore up the course. Everyone seemed game to go visit the Parthenon in Nashville, so we set off for that.
Then we headed to the finish line, and enjoyed some of the best brisket I've ever had, and cheered David on into the finish.
Thanks, Ragnar, for such a great race. And, a special thank you to all the volunteers who spent long hours out in the cold to keep us safe and organized.

Whoa! You have to hear this! Researchers Find a Whale Trying to Speak Human
A dog chilling on some buffalo.
I could not resist this one.
Tourist ranches, mostly in Texas, want to sell hunters the opportunity to kill captive-bred African antelopes in the United States. Until January 2012, they could do so without federal regulation. Although the oryx, addax, and gazelle have been listed as "endangered" under the Endangered Species Act since 2005, the original listing rule allowed landowners to continue offering "canned" (fenced in) hunting for antelopes to trophy seekers. That loophole was closed this year and now hunting operations must apply for a permit before killing members of three species of African antelopes in the U.S. The permits require applicants to demonstrate how hunting the animals furthers their conservation in the wild, but Representative Carter wants to waive the permit requirement by reinstating the old rule with the loophole."Ranchers claim that breeding and killing benefits these animals, but at the same time they don't want to be bothered to apply for a permit," continued Hall. "The 'shooting them to save them' rhetoric is nonsensical."
Notably, international travel to obtain the same antelope trophies in Africa has long been banned by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES). The U.S. may violate CITES by enacting the antelope rider.
"The U.S. included foreign species listing in the Endangered Species Act to give CITES teeth, and now Congress is seeking exemptions to that provision 40 years later," said Mark Salvo, Wildlife Program Director for WildEarth Guardians.
Hunting other captive-bred endangered species in the United States requires a permit, Salvo observed, adding, "Congress should not deprive the Fish and Wildlife Service of the means of evaluating the conservation value of these hunting ranches."
On Tuesday tracker John Ndayambaje spotted a trap very close to the Kuryama gorilla clan. He moved in to deactivate the snare, but a silverback named Vubu grunted, cautioning Ndayambaje to stay away, Vecellio said.
Suddenly two juveniles—Rwema, a male; and Dukore, a female; both about four years old—ran toward the trap.
As Ndayambaje and a few tourists watched, Rwema jumped on the bent tree branch and broke it, while Dukore freed the noose.
The pair then spied another snare nearby—one the tracker himself had missed—and raced for it. Joined by a third gorilla, a teenager named Tetero, Rwema and Dukore destroyed that trap as well.
Gorilla Tactics
The speed with which everything happened makes Vecellio, the gorilla program coordinator, think this wasn't the first time the young gorillas had outsmarted trappers.
"They were very confident," she said. "They saw what they had to do, they did it, and then they left."
Silverbacks in the Kuryama group have occasionally been caught in the snares, so Vecellio thinks the juveniles would have known the traps are dangerous.
I needed a happy story.
Representative Steve King (R-IA), who is the sponsor of an amendment to the House Farm Bill that is both astonishingly hypocritical and devastating to food safety laws that protect millions of Americans from illness, recently gave an interview to the Daily Caller to brag about what he had accomplished. The King Amendment would essentially prevent states from developing strong independent health, safety, and cruelty standards, even if local voters want them.
However, King might want to reconsider that position, as his amendment would legalize several horrific farming and food practices that some states have chosen to do away with:
- Florida, Ohio, and seven other states have banned confining pregnant pigs in cages that prevent them from moving their limbs or walking in a circle. Pigs confined in so-called gestation crates are forced to defecate where they stand, exposed to serious risk of traumatic injury as a consequence of immobility, and develop sores as a consequence of attempting to move against or bite the bars the bars that confine them. They live their whole lives like this.
- Seven states have banned similar confinement for baby calves. So-called veal creates are designed to atrophy muscles to improve the taste of meat, creating what the ASPCA calls "lives of agony and frustration" for the cows until they are slaughtered at four or five months.
- Three states have banned tail-docking, wherein parts of cows tails are lopped off, occasionally without anesthetic. The American Veterinary Medical Association opposes tail docking as unnecessary and highly painful.
- Maryland prohibits adding arsenic to chicken feed, which – besides the obvious problems – also spreads the poison into the surrounding soil.
King, though, brags that his legislation "wipes out everything they've [animal rights advocates] done with pork and veal." Indeed, King has a long record of opposing animal welfare law — he has, for example, been Congress' leading advocate against anti-dogfighting legislation. He also believes that the Humane Society and other animal rights advocates are attempting to ban "production agriculture" and has fantasized about exposing vegetarians with "an agenda for our diets" on the House floor.
"While waiting for my grandson to arrive at the Salt Lake City airport, I had six hours to spare. Knowing that Hogle Zoo was nearby, off I went—camera in tow. I spotted a giraffe with her one-week-old calf. It was heartwarming to witness the mother affectionately nestling her head into the arched neck of her newborn. Instead of being inconvenienced, I felt blessed to watch Mother Nature at her best." - Photographer Barbara von Hoffmann

Nova Science Now : How Smart Are Dolphins?
Off the coast of Honduras, on Roatan Island, a legendary experiment in dolphin communication is being attempted for the first time in 20 years—one that could prove that dolphins can, in effect, "speak" with one another to coordinate their behavior. Other studies reveal that these playful marine mammals can plan ahead and problem-solve in ways few other animals can. (by AhmadMAbdullah)
This is a post about goats
I am filled with so many questions about these pictures: Where are they? What kind of goats are these? Why do they do that? I feel like if they were answered, I could come to a place of great profundity.
Goats just do that. Doesn't matter where. Goats like to be up high. They'll climb whatever is around, even other, larger animals, like cows.
Now you know this about goats.
I so want a goat to 'mow' my back yard. It is big, hilly and I hate mowing it. Font yard is bigger, but flatter and I don't mow a lot of the 'meadow' area and a lot of the rest is garden. But yeah, this part about goats has delayed doing that. Raised angora goats for mohair as a kid so have had some experience with their climbing. I need to improve some fences and trim some trees first.
Dinosaurs put eggs in wrong evolutionary basket, scientists say
The fact that land-bound dinosaurs laid eggs is what sealed their fate of mass extinction while live birthing mammals went on to thrive.
Iowa is the Most Backward Terrorist Criminally Run State in the Union: Torture OK'd by Iowa Governor.
Despite a fierce campaign to stop the measure, Iowa became the first state Friday to officially make it a crime to enter a farming operation with the intent to secretly videotape animal abuse. Undercover footage filmed by animal rights groups during the past several years have been instrumental in exposing cases of cruelty to farm animals.Republican Governor Terry Branstad signed the law in a private ceremony. Iowa is the country's leading producer of pork and eggs and the governor is known to have "strong ties to the state's agricultural industry."In other news - Terry Branstad, Iowa Governor, Slapped With $1 Million Sexual Discrimination Lawsuit By State Commissioner.
Lioness shows trust in man with her newborn cubs (by BAKUGON28)
Animals gather in a flooded field in the French town of Roquebrune-sur-Argens on November 7, 2011. Heavy rains in southern France have led to over a thousand people being evacuated.
(see more — Nature's Fury)
Elephants have been known to die of broken hearts if a mate dies. They refuse to eat and will lay down, shedding tears until they starve to death. They refuse all human help.
Scientists are beginning to believe that animals do have emotions and that their feelings may be more intense and unfiltered than our own. Emotion rises from the old brain, the limbic system, which birds and reptiles as well as dogs, humans, and other mammals share. Humans have additional brain structures and symbolic language to process our feelings and a complex array of psychological defense mechanisms that allay or soften the impact of our emotions. We repress, deny, subjugate, dissociate, and use all kinds of conscious and unconscious machinations to separate ourselves from our feelings, but animals have no such recourse, so their emotions are likely to be raw and strong. In fact, this may be one of the reasons we find them so attractive: they wear their hearts on their sleeves, so to speak. People seem to deny the existence of animal emotions so that they can continue to justify inhumane treatment and exploitation and avoid the fact that our actions have a deep emotional impact on our fellow beings.

#1563 Meet Danielle Hayes – New Zealand's Next Top Maori Model
Congratulations to Danielle Hayes, Cycle 2 winner of New Zealand's Next Top Model. And kudos to the judges for awarding the title to a Maori model – long may that trend continue. I must admit, I've been a Danielle naysayer since the beginning of the series. Sure she's strikingly beautiful, but the combination of her attitude to challenges, man-casual clothing and god-awful attempts at walking in high heels didn't do anything to sway my opinion. However, watching the finale show on demand yesterday, I'm convinced that she was the right choice. On paper, Michaela was the obvious winner. She aced the finale Covergirl shoot and TV commercial and walked pretty flawlessly in heels. But when push came to shove, she lacked the x factor that is so badly needed in a model – and Danielle had it in spades.
Danielle still needs a good few months' full time development (like, major high heel boot camp) but I have a feeling that with a bit of work she might just have an international career ahead of her. Could she be New Zealand's answer to everybody's favourite androgynous model of the moment Freja Beha Erichsen?
I'll await developments with keen interest.

omg i was just thinking that she so reminds me of Freja Beha, hopefully
Dani becomes big.

I'm glad she won. I can't wait to see what she does.
- December 8, 2011 at 5:12 AM
Michaela was OK but you get the feeling she had nowhere left to go - we'd seen her limit already. And no charisma to speak of. I did think the final scene was a classic example of kiwi low keyness. Where was the real hamming up of the drama?!

i LOVE her. such a strong, unique look. and she deserves success.
- December 8, 2011 at 5:12 AM
Michaela might become a decent commercial model in our market, but that's it. She only has one look and it's a boring look.
Danielle? With a bit of luck she could go all the way...

I didn't really know why Michaela got so far - a pretty girl, but I didn't see 'it'. The twins grew on me, esp. Elza but I love Danielle. She does have a bit of the Frejas about her! GREAT to have a Maori NZTM. I actually bumped into her at the wkend and found her to be friendly, sweet and humble in person, not surly or hard-edged as she came across in early eps. An absolutely STUNNING young lady - I hope she goes far!
- December 8, 2011 at 5:12 AM
There's no way that Sara is that dumb. I think they made as much 'drama' out of it as they could because otherwise the whole show would come off as disingenuous and it would have hurt the right models chances and been a waste of publicity on the wong girl. This is not ANTM. They actually want a REAL model, and Danielle has the right body, a great look, the IT factor as you have all said, and what's more she has charisma. She would be really fun to shoot whereas Michaela is a snnnoooorrrrrrrrre. She's certainly going to get more editorial in NZ and Australia to start her off than Christobel ever did. Photographers will really like her, bit embarrassed by Drayton and whoever the last photog at the glassons set in front of the wall of flowers was "had to work hard on the lighting"???? What a total noob. It's called your *cough* job *cough* - you can't just point a big softbox in one place for everybody all the time... although I notice that's the kiwi norm. Go DANI!

Tax Associate Interview
I applied online. The process took 5+ months – interviewed at PwC in April 2013.
Applied online and did a few numerical tests. Pretty straightforward. Had the telephone interview that asked the typical competency questions but also about the UK economy in general which I was not expecting. Assessment Centre was fun. Had to have a dicussion and write a report on a company. Also had to do numerical and logical reasoning tests which were alot harder than the online ones!

Tax Associate InterviewApplication Details
I applied through college or university – interviewed at PwC.Interview Details
I applied for the full time position of Tax Associate through the campus website and got invited for on-campus interview. The interviewer was a director at PwC and the process was very smooth. The questions consisted of typical behavioral questions (no technical questions) such as tell me about yourself, tell me about a time when..., why did you choose tax, etc. I got a phone call two weeks later for a second round interview and I haven't gone through it yet, so wish me luck!! But the second round consists of a pre-night dinner with staff which is a little bit informal to break the ice. Then for the actual interview, you are invited to the office you have applied for. The interview typically consists of three 30-minute interviews with two partners and one director. There will be behavioral questions but it is more conversational type, they merely want to see if you are a good fit for their firm. There will be an office tour and probably a presentation on the company conducted by a recruiter. You will also get introduced to staff (associates, partners, directors, and etc.), so you will have lots of opportunities to ask questions, network, and see if the company is a good fit for you.Interview Questions

Mozilla and Samsung Collaborate on New Browser Engine
Mozilla is collaborating with Samsung on a new web browser engine called Servo.
According to a recent announcement on the Mozilla blog, Brendan Eich states that "Servo is an attempt to rebuild the Web browser from the ground up on modern hardware, rethinking old assumptions along the way. This means addressing the causes of security vulnerabilities while designing a platform that can fully utilize the performance of tomorrow's massively parallel hardware to enable new and richer experiences on the Web."
Servo is written in Rust, a new systems language simultaneously being developed by Mozilla. According to Mozilla, Rust, which is now at version 0.6, has been in development for several years and offers "efficient high-level, multi-paradigm abstractions" and "precise control over hardware resources."
Mozilla also announced that, together with Samsung, they are bringing Rust and Servo to Android and ARM. Eich states that Samsung has already contributed an ARM back end to Rust along with the build infrastructure needed to cross-compile to Android. "At the same time, we will be putting more resources into Servo, trying to prove that we can build a fast web browser with pervasive parallelism, and in a safe, fun language," Eich said.

This is a great park. Very quiet. Free DVD rental and book exchange. The hosts and owner are excellent. The other guests were all friendly. Many seemed to be return customers. The only minor drawback was the location of hookups in our site (at the rear of the pull-through site) made it necessary to unhook our towed vehicle to get far enough back to be within 20' of the sewer and 30 feet of the water. We will return and stay longer next time.

Excellent place to stay. Very nice camp host. While we were there, we visited the ghost town of Garnet, which is a preserved (rather than restored) ghost town. It is well worth the 30 mile round trip (20 on dirt roads). The campground is nice, in a grove of trees with flat sites. Right next to Clark Fork River. The only drawback to this place is that active train tracks run close to the camps, with several trains throughout the night. Other than that, this place is perfect.

An excellent place to stay. The views of the mountains and valley are great, as are the owners. The sites are nice and wide and sit up on the slight hillside to overlook the view. Hookups are modern and in excellent condition. Highway noise was not excessive, and light during the night. We had a great stay and will return.

Footage of Michael Jordan Schooling O.J. Mayo
Footage of Michael Jordan schooling O.J. Mayo
10/3/13 in NBA | aaronjchung | 264 respect
Never one to shy away from national headlines, Michael Jordan, not only said that he could beat LeBron James and Kobe Bryant one-on-one, but he also shared a story about how he schooled the best high school basketball player at the time – O.J. Mayo – at one of his camps. Keep in mind, this was in 2006 when MJ was a few years removed from the league, while Mayo was an up and coming budding star.
From Mayo's vantage point, he said, "I kind of had the mentality that I had everything to gain and nothing to lose. And Mike did what he had to do." We all would love to know what would happen if we could retroactively put Jordan from his prime into today's game, but this is one of those debates that will have to be won in the living rooms and sports bars across America.
