British Columbia - As I Recall It
Trip Start
Jan 31, 1996
Trip End
Our night on the banks of Okanagan Lake was cool, but the owners of the B&B had an outdoor hot-tub so we could gaze at the stars in wet warmth and comfort. The following morning after breakfast we drove onwards joking about the 'Day of Penticton' as we headed east towards Revelstoke. Just kilometres from the town we were forced to make a detour; a landslide, or forest fire prevented us from forging on. Heading south along Upper Arrow Lake we drove through the town of Nakusp, before settling at a B&B that was run by a Czech couple on Lake Kootenay. Our room had a Jacuzzi that sat beside floor to ceiling windows. The misty views were quite spectacular. I remember thinking that the birds in the trees could see my bird in the tub as we soaked our worries and cares away.
The following night we stayed in the kooky little town of Nelson, the place where the Steve Martin movie Roxanne was filmed. I remember the woman who owned the B&B where we stayed referring often to Nelson as being eclectic. I woke up three-thirty in the morning and found the sun had already risen. When the owner woke up I asked her what time the sun came up. She shrugged her shoulders and said she thought around eight. She'd lived there all her life. Eclectic, I remember thinking of her.
The following night we camped by a lake in the town of Osoyoos, Canada's only desert. It was in Osoyoos where we decided that British Columbia wasn't for us. Old people raced up and down the streets in motorized wheel-chairs. And the Tim Horton's and McDonald's parking lots were filled with these machines.
Finally, after spending three nights in rural BC we arrived back in Vancouver. For four days we walked the streets of this fabulous, almost New York-like city, and loved it. The trouble with Vancouver though is that you feel like you're constantly on the set of Blade Runner, the post-apocalyptic film where it rains pretty much all of the time. Each and every day we lunched at Robson Sushi, where there was and all-you-could-eat sushi bar. I've often wondered if it's still there. They might well have went bankrupt after Ellen and I finished our series of feedings. Our hotel in Vancouver was a condo that I believe had been converted into a hotel, it seemed. This place too had floor to ceiling windows with condos the same as ours right across the street. And like Lake Kootenay, a lot of bird was most certainly seen in our hotel room during the four nights we were there.
It is now August 2011. This is a retro piece, written seven years after the fact, and all from memory. From what I recollect the BC – that could just as well be an acronym for Before Christ – interior was big, cold and scary. But the city of Vancouver was special. Then again, maybe I got it backwards. It was seven years ago.

Quick question...Who was next? Checkout lines
October 26, 2012, 11:36:41 PM »
I was in a store today, buying one thing. I got in the line behind a couple of other people. One person moved up, and I was the next in line. Stood there for a few minutes as the guy ahead of me checked out several items. But then I noticed that another person had come up and was standing sort of in front of the check-out counter and behind the person being served, but off to the other side, like she was next. (Think of it like one check-out counter with now two lines shooting off from it, like a 'V'.)
So the clerk finished and asked who was next and I just said 'I think I was' and moved forward. I never really looked at the other person, nor did she say anything. Frankly, I WAS there first and didn't want to wait any longer. Within probably 30 seconds, my transaction was completed and I was out of there. But I started thinking.....
Is it common politeness to engage with the other person for something like this? I felt if I looked at her, then if she told me to go first, then I feel like I'd have to thank her, and that just seemed stupid, when I really WAS there first; it would be like thanking her for not cutting (if we all went around thanking people for not doing things they shouldn't do anyway, the world would be a very polite place, but heck, we'd never get anything done!). For interactions like this, it seems that the 'polite' thing is to look at the other person to say, 'who was first?' or 'were you here before me?'; basically play dumb even though you know darn well that you were first. And there are some people who will take advantage of that. So, knowing that, I just opted to assert myself and all was well.
But if you know you're in the right and you really WERE next in line, does etiquette dictate that you engage with the other person who either knowingly or unknowingly tried to cut or create her own line? Or is asserting your right to be served next perfectly fine?
(The other guy in front of me had a cart with stuff, and I was behind him. I have no idea why the other lady didn't think that looked like an already-formed checkout line, but whatever.)

Maybe she thought you were together, since you were standing there with one item which she may or may not have seen.
Then again, I've had people do weird things like this in coffee lineups. I think you did fine, though I probably would have at least glanced at the person to acknowledge their presence while stating I was next. I don't think it's necessary though.

I think you were fine, and there was no need to engage with her.
I find it very strange that she stood to the side of the check-out line (if I'm understanding the situation correctly). It's possible that she was from a foreign country, or extremely sheltered, and didn't know how a check-out line works (but highly unlikely). Or it's possible she was just trying to push her way in (more likely).

this is not your problem
you were next in line
you don't need to apologize to someone else feeling that they can "budge" in line!

I don't hesitate to speak up or just proceed to be checked out. I don't need to interact with anyone in the line when we both know I was there first.
I've never knitted anything I could recognize when it was finished. Actually, I've never finished anything, much to my family's relief.

You were definitely next, but I don't suppose the other person was waiting for something else, not standing in line to be checked out?
Only because the other day I was at the chemist buying a couple of lip glosses, and the cashier pointed out they were buy two get a third free, and told me to go grab a third and just to show it to her on the way out (without her needing to scan it) - I didn't line up again, but walked past the front of the line and waved it at her as I walked past. A few times I've bought something and noticed at the checkout that it needed to be replaced (accidentally grabbed a leaking carton, for example), and generally the cashier will scan the faulty item and tell me to grab a replacement on my way out and just show it to her - I wouldn't line up a second time for that nor would I be expected to (at least not here).
Of course it's likely she was trying to line-jump or somehow didn't realise where the line was - and definitely the OP was in the right. I'm just saying hypothetically it's possible she had a reason to be standing there.

Was there just the one till open? I have seen people become confused where there are two tills next to each other, and they aren't sure if there's one queue for both tills, or if each till has its own queue. But it sounds like there was just one, in which case, you were fine.

I doubt she was trying to cut in line. In some stores there isn't really room to form a very long straight line without blocking an aisle or something, so I'll stand more to the side and wait.
Most people look at musical theatre and think "Why are those people singing and dancing in the street?" I'm sort of the opposite. I see a street full of people and think, "Why aren't they?"

Reviews for Wood and Stone |
The Imaginatrix chapter 1 . 9/29/2015 ...Boy am I glad this isn't quite canon to Star's Journey. Sharron dying would have hurt me so terribly—indeed, it has now—but I'm glad she is alive in your current series. I'm guessing you did this here to make way for your favourite Rowan ship. I personally like both of them. :) I loved your study of Bronden in this, though. Everything you wrote fits beautifully into canon and now I love her as much as you do. :) |
SophieAngel69 chapter 1 . 6/22/2014 Oh my gosh I am literally crying. That was so beautiful. At first I thought it was a romance story but then she became a seudo mother to him and when Sharon died my heart broke. |
Collaborative Lady chapter 1 . 6/16/2013 WOAH character death! Aheeheeheeheeheeahem. It came across as ...sudden. Still. Like what you've done with Bronden. Curiousness about the direct source of her shame aside, the development from that was steady and well written. Like how you have her popping her head out and finding everyone has sort of ... moved. It happens. It's a little bit of a shock, and a teeny bit hilarious. |
mistrali chapter 1 . 12/5/2012 This is a good character study of Bronden, particularly of her loneliness and unwillingness to be hurt. Her relationship with Val was also explored well- it's nice to see she's not entirely friendless. I would've liked a bit more plot, however, and more gradual progression both in Bronden's opening up and in her and Norris's relationship. What you gave us was great, but it seemed to happen rather too quickly because you didn't linger on individual scenes. You would skim over months, which covered a huge space of time in a few paragraphs. For instance, some of that predicted volatility would've been good to see. Much of the story is narratorial voice/Bronden's thoughts - maybe you could've had some Norris-Shaaran bonding time, or something, to balance out all the Bronden. But Bronden herself was wonderfully done - I especially liked that she managed to be matter-of-fact even at the end, at her most vulnerable. The h/c is emotional without being saccharine, and the trust she and Norris place in each other is shown really well in this fic. They're two characters I never considered even interacting with each other that much, but you've made it work. |
Crystal Silvera chapter 1 . 8/20/2012 Aha... Shaaran died. Saw that coming, judging from what you've told me. XD Great fanfic! Definitely going in my favorites, although I don't think that there will be any more chapters. :P And so Bronden finally cracked. Heh, and Rin's got Norris to thank, who would've imagined it. HOW DID ROWAN LEAVE THE BUKSHAH?! No offense, but that's absolutely impossible, in my view. Star or Treasure probably would've rammed him before he did that. And I spotted the tiny DQ crossover too! Heh, the new keeper's name is Leif. Uh-huh. Well anyway, same author, so who really cares. Can't wait for your ... big one, ya know. I think it'll be really good, since I've got this one to refer to! |

In the city of sails!
Trip Start
Jan 17, 2009
Trip End
Sep 11, 2009
Auckland is much more spread out than I expected and also very clean (there is hardly any litter and the white buildings are still white!!)
Down by the harbour in the centre is very nice (and rather posh!), at the moment there is the Louis Vitton boat race so there are some very post boats around!
Its a bit of a culture shock from Central America but it is really nice, and lots of clothes shopping opportunities which could be a problem!!
The hostel I am staying in (with the other volunteers) is very close to Queen Street which is the main street in Auckland, however, K road is not so nice, being the home of the strip joints, massage palours and the transvestites! so thats fun!!
apparently it is the worst road in the city but it cetainly isnt that bad in comparison to certain streets in London and other worldwide cities!
I went to Waitakere college today, which is in West Auckland and is where I will be volunteering. Im working in the inclusion support centre and the staff and students are all very nice, and Im looking forward to being there. I am doing mainly occupational therapy but will also be acting as a teaching aide, and might set up some music therapy.
So I've got an exciting month ahead, I want to make the most of my time at Waitakere, but I also need to make sure that my days off and some evenings are productive so that I get to see as much of the city as I can as there seems to be masses to do!!!

Iran and the New Middle East in the Aftermath of the Nuclear Agreement
In his testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Ray Takeyh argues that there is precedent for Congress turning down agreements until a better draft is negotiated as in the case of arms control deals between the United States and the Soviet Union. Given the role Congress plays in ensuring that the United States negotiates the best possible agreement, it should aim to do no less with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Harry Redknapp insists he will not let talk of him becoming the next England manager derail his attempt to get Tottenham back in to the Champions League.
Redknapp is the bookmakers' favourite to succeed Fabio Capello when he stands down as England boss next summer having transformed Spurs from relegation contenders to Champions League quarter-finalists since taking over at White Hart Lane in October 2008.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy revealed on Tuesday that Redknapp had given him assurances that he was not "at this present time" thinking about replacing Capello, and the 64-year-old confirmed this, replying when asked where he stood on the prospect of the job: "Nowhere really. I just have a job to do here."

I have a tie and a MTM shirt from them. I have about 5 shirts from Luxire.
Quality wise they're the same I'd say, the stitching and craftsmanship of both shirts are excellent quality. However the main advantage for me is that Spier&Mackay is local so when I got my first shirt that was MTM, Rick pointed out some things that I would have overlooked such as tie space and collar band height, fusing vs non fusing etc.
I got their default spread collar with my shirt and for a "fused" collar it's the most comfortable collar I have. I have some other crappy MTM shirts with a fused collar and Spier&Mackay is miles above them. In my picture I"m not wear collar stays at all and the collar just sits flush and doesn't move
Going forward I'd like to see more basic fabrics for MTM and better selection of ties and actual fit pics kinda like how proper cloth does it with their collars.
However MTM is about 30% of his business (correct me if I'm wrong).
Thanks. Great to know. And what about the quality of the fabric?

The American Academy of Pediatrics just released new guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute otitis media (AOM), which is "doctor speak" for an ear infection.
An ear infection is one of the most common maladies of early childhood and also one of the most common reasons antibiotics are prescribed. Guidelines from 2004 recommended that pediatricians use "watchful waiting" before prescribing antibiotics for an ear infection in some children.
The new guidelines for treating ear infections with oral antibiotics are even more specific than those issued in 2004, and further clarify which are the best children to observe and those that should be treated right away. This will reduce the number of unnecessary antibiotics that are prescribed, which in turn may help prevent antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Many parents worry that their child may develop an ear infection after having a cold, but for a child between 6 months and 12 years old, a mild ear infection found during a visit to their pediatrician may now be observed for 72 hours.
According to the new guidelines, children need to receive immediate antibiotics if they have a severe ear infection (with a fever of 102.2 degrees or higher, or significant pain), have a ruptured ear drum with drainage, or an ear infection in both ears in a child age 2 or younger. This will really change current treatment and the number of antibiotics prescribed.
As both pediatricians and parents know, all sorts of things that cause ear pain, from an erupting new molar to a cold or sore throat. But if the eardrum is not bulging, the best treatment is pain control. This can be accomplished with acetaminophen or ibuprofen and watchful waiting to see if a child's symptoms worsen or if the pain resolves. In studies, 2 out of 3 children get better without an antibiotic.

With Instructables you can share what you make with the world, and tap into an ever-growing community of creative experts.
This is a mini pencil that works. Its made of a toothpick and a 0.7 lead. you'll need: - toothpicks - pin - lead - cutter
Take one toothpick and cut both ends with the cutter-knife. Be careful!
put the toothpick on a flat surface and cut it along
With the cutter-knife and the pin, carve the center. (here will be the 0.7 lead) be very patient... and smile as you do it.
once the draft is the center of the pen, enter the 0.7 lead and paste it with glue. you must have a very firm hand. cut the excess ...
Sharp the tip of your pencil with the cutter-knife. See if it writes and paint it yellow. you can sand the end for a better look.

I can't wait to see what the sports games will look like at the reveal
To get the hype train steaming along, Aaron Greenberg has teased "tons of exclusives" and "world premieres" for Microsoft's E3 conference, stating the presentation will be "all about the games."
"I know everyone knows the Infinity Ward team is hard at work on world premiering the next Call of Duty: Ghosts, so we're going to see what that looks like for the first time.
"I mean, to be honest, it's really about the team, the people here, that's why we're inviting people to campus, we're going to bring them behind the scenes a little bit. We've never done this before and so it's really exciting to be able to do that. But I think it's a lot of laying the foundation, probably the best way to describe it, and then just a couple of weeks later we go to E3."
Greenberg concluded his appearance on the podcast by stating that E3 "is all about the games," anyway but even after the show had concluded, the firm will have "a lot to share between then and this holiday."
E3 is next month. This is just a Microsoft event.
Im at work sadly
but I wanted to make sure a PS3 troll like UltimateHog didn't do it.
is this E3???
I hadn't heard that it was coming up. I thought it was next month

Speedy MoleculeIs it possible for a molecule to move so fast that it doesn't affect other molecules?
If so what type- how, why? How would it stop? I haven't done much research on this because I don't understand it, I need someone to tell me personally how this'd work.

Nitrogen, a chemical nutrient needed by many growing crops, can accidentally end up in surface or subsurface water. Now an Agricultural Research Service scientist is using electromagnetic induction (EI) to measure changes in the soil's electrical conductivity, a quality that can provide important clues to the amount of nutrients present in the soil.
Roger A. Eigenberg is an agricultural engineer at the ARS Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center in Clay Center, Neb. He has used EI to study several fields and create a map with light-shaded areas representing high electrical conductivity--or areas of high nitrate concentration--and dark areas that indicate low conductivity, or low nitrate concentration.
Eigenberg has compared fields with and without a winter cover crop and fields with added manure or compost. He discovered that EI could be used to monitor the effects of winter cover crops, because EI changes corresponded to soil nutrient changes as the cover crop took up nutrients in the fall and released them back to the soil in the spring.
Another Clay Center research location was a former manure compost site. In the past, scientists had to take numerous soil samples to determine where manure rows had been located. Using the commercially available EI equipment, Eigenberg was able to locate them in a fraction of the time. He tracked nutrient movement over a four-year period and found that using equipment such as the EI meter can determine nutrient buildup and movement to help prevent nitrate leaching into groundwater.
ARS is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's chief scientific research agency.

text: A heartfelt apology to conservatives on the subject of climate change by David Atkins Dear conservatives, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize deeply on behalf of climate science. I'm sorry that your worldview is deeply inconvenienced by the harsh realities involved. You're right: if climate change is real and man-made--which it certainly is--then the libertarian ideology you conservatives hew to so steadfastly requires rethinking. I know Ayn Rand's ghost would blanche at the thought, but take heart: she didn't believe in an afterlife, anyway. As you know, conservatism is inherently reactive rather than proactive about any problem that doesn't involve killing foreigners, controlling women or preventing undesirables from voting. For all other matters of importance, conservatism requires standing athwart the history of human progress and yelling "stop!" to all of us altruistic, proactive bleeding hearts and do-gooders. For instance, libertarian economics requires that instead of proactively regulating corporate activity that might hurt people, consumers punish a company reactively after it has done something wrong, and after consumers notice that said company has done so. But if companies and consumers are doing something wrong that nobody really notices until it's far, far too late to do anything about, that's a real fly in the ointment. I apologize for that. It's quite inconvenient to you, I know. But then, life does have a habit of taking wrong and immoral assumptions about the world, and demonstrating just how wrong and immoral they are. Sadly, that also includes libertarian economics. Most of us learn this lesson about life while growing up sometime in our teens, but I understand that it may take time for those of us who never overcame our adolescent fascination with Atlas Shrugged to pick up a novel by an actual writer like Dickens or Steinbeck, instead. It's tough. Finally, I apologize that reality cannot be made to conform to your pet worldviews and objectivist utopian fantasies. As you know, life is a scary place with deluded, grasping parasites lurking around every corner. Someday you may even learn not to be ones. In the meantime, please accept this apology on behalf of reality and science everywhere. Sincerely yours, David Atkins thereisnospoon 8/21/2012 07:30:00 AM

Now that I am a new mom, Lennox takes priority — and most of my time. That means the 30 minutes I used to spend a day grooming myself, is a thing of the past. And yes, 30 minutes (I used to be one high maintenance gal!). Also gone are the days of browsing, pouring over the new products, testing new shades, and exploring new formulations at Sephora. This used to be my happy place, but now it's at home or wherever my little man happens to be.
As a new mom on a budget and on the run, you'll most likely find me picking up makeup at the drugstore when I'm on a diaper dash. Know the feeling, but don't know where to start looking for new mommy makeover products at the drugstore? I have done the legwork for you, ladies, sharing with you my favorite picks — designed to give us a little of our pre-mama glam back, even when we have spit-up caked in our unbrushed hair (reality check on aisle five!).
Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream
BB cream is the newest craze in the makeup world. And as a crazed, time-crunched mom, it's kind of the perfect product. Though it's not made specifically for moms, quite frankly it should be. Garnier's BB Cream does it all (if only it could also do laundry!) — it evens out skin tone, brightens sleep deprived dullness, protects with SPF 15, and moisturizes! Although many A brands have developed BB creams, Garnier BB cream is the Queen Bee or "BB" of drugstore BB creams. It's now available in oil-free (my pick for my grease-ball skin) and also the original normal to dry skin formula. Available for purchase at Drugstore.com, $13.
L'Oreal Voluminous False Fiber Lashes Mascara
Remember those days of sleeping in and always looking refreshed? Yeah, me neither. That is where my pal mascara comes in handy. No matter how exhausted I may look and feel, mascara can perk up my peepers like nobody's business — giving an eye-popping illusion (even when they're in reality half shut). Any mascara is better than none, but good enough is just not how I roll when it comes to mascara, which is why I always reach for this mascara. Trust me when I say I've kissed a lot of mascara frogs before finding this prince. With just a single coat of this lash-tastic mascara, my lashes always get the royal treatment — they look long, thick, oh so very sexy, and never clumpy. The washable formula is easy to remove with the swipe of a diaper wipe — gotta love multi-tasking! Available for purchase at Drugstore.com, $9.
Revlon Just Bitten Stain
I am a stain girl. There's nothing sexier than the "just had a cherry popsicle" look. No gloss, no glitter, just luscious lips the color of a ripe watermelon. This is the summer of love, but this time, it's baby love. I am a new mom now, and a stain makes the cut because it's easy. I apply once in the morning and my lips stay "stained" the entire day. So many brands have their version of stains, but when it comes to the battle of drugstore stains, Revlon's Just Bitten (they actually just came out with a balm stain, which I also love) stain stands alone. Coverage? Check. Intensity of color? Check. Wearability? Check. Kissability? Check (Lennox's cheeks that is!). Revlon's Just Bitten lets me eat up my baby, without leaving my mark. Available for purchase at Drugstore.com, $7.
L'Oreal Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner
I have been obsessed with eyeliner for so long, that I don't even need a mirror to apply it at this point (I could do it in my sleep!). While some women tend to gravitate towards an understated brown during the day, I like rock the more dramatic side of things with a sultry black. Not only is this eyeliner kajal- inspired, but it's versatile — allowing me to do a more natural, softer line during the day and then vamp it up if I have date night with my hubby. I have always been a fan of the smudgy liner look — now more than ever since Lennox is forever rubbing a drool-filled hand on my face. Available for purchase at Drugstore.com, $9.

GRAND RIDGE (AP) — Recent rain that has rivers overflowing and homes flooded in Illinois also is holding back farmers who would normally be planting corn now.
Darren Walter and his family farm about 2,000 acres about 90 miles southwest of Chicago in Grand Ridge. He says his area has had about 7 Į inches of rain this month. The ground is too wet and muddy for him to get equipment in to start planting, and he says the area needs warm weather to dry it out.
Walter said Thursday that the temperature is still into the 30s at night.
But he says his real concern right now is for friends and neighbors dealing with flooding from the Illinois River. He says compared to that, a planting delay doesn't seem like a big deal.

I own a GEM Promega3 digi piano and just wanted to buy sth for accompaniment. I got it quite cheap, but the keyboard has grown on me day by day. I have never encountered with such easy to use semi pro instrument and the screen angle adjustment looks really cool. You will not find this screen design with later technics models, very neat, indeed! KN2000 is a milestone if you consider the whole KN family. This is the most eccentric model to me. Malet and Electro piano kind sounds are killer. You go and but 3000 USD keyboards and wouldn't get these kind of authentic warm sounds. Well done Technics team at that time. It has already become a classic instrument...

The disk drive on my beloved KN1000 packed up, so I bought what I thought would be a much better instrument - a KN2400, I found many of the rhythms useless, and the strings and piano sounds awful, so after being told that Technics changed the souunds, I went backwards to a KN5000 with much the same result, on then to a KN3000 which had some better sounds, but still not good. I now have a KN2000 and most of the usable sounds are better and the rhythms more usable. I have at last found a great, versatile usable keyboard.

I brought my KN2000 when it first hit the market in 98. Strangely I fell in love with the machine when i had first glanced at it. It cost me $4000 Au at the time. The realistic bass setup and Piano sounds had me going. I had owned previous Keyboards ever since my early teens Korg, Roland, Yamaha but nothing quite ever matched the realistic Wave sounds and patterns of the kn2000. I have brought number of keyboards after this one but i still never let go of the Kn2000 for some reason, I now use it as a top up instrutument when performing. The only drawback however, is that this model was not in Arabic scale. So I had to get a Roland Persian MIDI Sound Rack which took away most of the functions. Lack of disk storage and time it took to upload sounds was another problem in those days. A few problems I had experience was a faulty upper octave key wich let me down on one of my performing nights, Dust had accumilated inside the keys and wasnt making electrical contact, they are succeptable to dust, espeacially the speakers can make tingling noises after a while. Another failure was the Floppy DDrive was not reading disks after the Rubber band became loose. I have fixed these problems as i am a Techguy. Despite these few problems my keyboard is still going good in its 10th year and hope to keep it for another 10 years until it kicks the bucket.

Chilaquiles Casserole 165 Our version of this enchilada-style chilaquiles casserole is packed with nutritious beans and vegetables. Canned prepared enchilada sauce has great flavor and keeps the prep time quick. It can vary in heat level so find one that suits your taste. If you want to eliminate the heat altogether, try a green enchilada sauce (which is often milder than red) or substitute two 8-ounce cans of plain tomato sauce.
Sweet Potato-Peanut Bisque 68 This satisfying vegetarian, sweet potato soup is inspired by the flavors of West African peanut soup. We like the added zip of hot green chiles, but they can sometimes be very spicy. It's best to take a small bite first and add them to taste. Try chopped peanuts and scallions for a different garnish. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette. Recipe by Nancy Baggett for EatingWell.
Ravioli & Vegetable Soup 63 Fresh or frozen ravioli cook in minutes and turn this light vegetable soup into a main course. Look for whole-wheat or whole-grain ravioli in the refrigerated or frozen section of the supermarket. Tortellini can be used instead of ravioli as well. Recipe by Nancy Baggett for EatingWell.
Roasted Pear-Butternut Soup with Crumbled Stilton 55 Here pears are roasted to sweet perfection with butternut squash and pureed to create a creamy soup that gets a luxurious garnish of Stilton cheese. You can serve this as a first course or with a salad and crusty bread for a light autumn supper.
Baked Parmesan Tomatoes 38 A sprinkle of Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil transform tomatoes into the perfect side dish. Or try sandwiching them between slices of your favorite whole-wheat country bread.
Black Bean Soup 37 This is a zippy Southwestern-flavored black bean soup. We make it with canned beans so it comes together in minutes. If you have leftovers, pack them up in individual serving containers for lunch the next day.
Creamy Hamburger Noodle Casserole 36 The EatingWell Test Kitchen takes lean ground beef and combines it with whole-grain bulgur, egg noodles and a creamy tomato sauce in a baked casserole topped with Cheddar. With less fat and calories than the original skillet meal, this dish is sure to become a new family favorite.
Chili Cornbread Casserole 25 Here's a fun way to serve chili and cornbread together. Don't let the ingredient list intimidate you--this casserole is easy to make and a real crowd pleaser.
Collard Green & Black-Eyed Pea Soup 23 Antioxidant-rich collard greens and fiber-packed black-eyed peas have a starring role in this nutritious soup. There's no need for loads of ham or salt pork--just a small amount of bacon gives it a wonderful smoky flavor. You can skip the bacon and substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth for a great vegetarian dish.
Tex-Mex Summer Squash Casserole 23 Chiles and cheese turn mild summer squash into a zesty, satisfying casserole. The jalapenos make this dish quite hot; if you prefer a milder version, use a second can of diced green chiles instead.
Garden Pasta Salad 21 This lightly dressed pasta salad gets lots of flavor from kalamata olives and basil. A colorful mix of diced bell pepper, shredded carrot and tomatoes adds vitamins and minerals. Serve on a crisp bed of greens. Toss in canned chunk light tuna, cooked chicken or flavored baked tofu to add protein and make it more substantial.
Seven-Layer Salad 19 This makeover of a Midwestern classic tops layers of lettuce, peas, bell pepper and tomatoes with a creamy, tangy dressing. The salad stays fresh underneath until it's served and gets even better when held overnight.
Tortellini & Zucchini Soup 18 Everyone knows tortellini make a quick weeknight pasta dinner--but they also add substance that turns this quick, colorful vegetable soup into a meal. One caveat: Read the label carefully; avoid pasta products made with hydrogenated oils or unnecessary preservatives. Enjoy this soup with a slice of multigrain baguette and a spinach salad.
Mediterranean Roasted Broccoli & Tomatoes 17 This dish of roasted broccoli and tomatoes is tossed with bright Mediterranean ingredients just before serving.
Sausage Gumbo 14 To keep it simple, we've opted for just the essential ingredients in this rendition of the hearty Creole favorite: sausage, okra, rice and a little spice.
King Ranch Casserole 14 Usually made with creamy canned soups and several cups of cheese, the fat and sodium of this spicy, layered chicken casserole can be a nutritional nightmare. Our version has a tangy, creamy sauce made with nonfat milk, nonfat yogurt and reduced-sodium chicken broth, plus we use reduced-fat Cheddar. Add in lots of chopped fresh vegetables and you have a version of the Tex-Mex favorite that you can feel good about eating.
EatingWell King Ranch Casserole 13 This healthy Tex-Mex King Ranch casserole recipe is typically made with cans of cream-of-something soup. We've lightened up this casserole recipe considerably by making a homemade cream sauce and loading it up with veggies at the same time. You'll never guess that a serving of our version of King Ranch casserole has 300 fewer calories and two-thirds less fat than the original. This recipe makes enough for two 8-by-8-inch casseroles (four servings each)--have one for dinner tonight and freeze the other for a night when you don't have time to make dinner.
Nina's Mexican Rice 12 The key to nutty and flavorful Mexican rice is cooking the rice first in oil until it is nicely golden.
Provencal Summer Vegetables 11 This stunning side dish of layered tomatoes, eggplant, summer squash and leeks bursts with fresh flavor. To make it even more colorful, use half a summer squash and half a zucchini. Try it alongside any grilled meat. Leftovers are delicious sandwiched between slices of crusty whole-grain bread.
Summer Tomato, Onion & Cucumber Salad 11 Fresh wedges of tomato, thinly sliced onion and sliced cucumber dressed simply with vinegar and oil makes the most simple salad possible--think of it as the Southern counterpart to the classic Italian tomato-and-mozzarella salad. It is best enjoyed at the height of summer, when tomatoes and cucumbers are fresh from the garden.

Court rules no Obamacare tax subsidies in 36 states
The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that people who bought health insurance from the federal insurance marketplace aren't eligible for tax subsidies in 36 states. The court ruling deals a big setback for President Barack Obama's health care law.
Washington — A federal appeals court delivered a serious setback to President Barack Obama's health care law Tuesday, potentially derailing billions of dollars in subsidies for many low- and middle-income people who bought policies.
In a case before the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, a group of small business owners argued that the law authorizes subsidies only for people who buy insurance through markets established by the states — not by the federal government.
A divided court agreed, in a 2-1 decision that could mean premium increases for more than half the 8 million Americans who have purchased taxpayer-subsidized coverage under the law. The ruling affects consumers who bought coverage in the 36 states served by the federal insurance marketplace, or exchange.
The majority opinion concluded that the law, as written, "unambiguously" restricts subsides to consumers in exchanges established by a state. That would invalidate an Internal Revenue Service regulation that tried to sort out confusing wording in the law by concluding that Congress intended for consumers in all 50 states to have subsidized coverage.
The administration is expected to appeal the ruling.
The issue is crucial to the success of the health law because most states have been unable or unwilling to set up their own exchanges. The inaction stems in many instances from opposition by Republican governors to the Affordable Care Act.
The small business owners filing the lawsuit say the tax credits enacted by Congress were intended to encourage states to set up their own health benefit exchanges and that the penalty for not doing so was withdrawal of tax credits for lower-income residents.
Supporters of the act say the purpose of the tax credit was not to promote the establishment of state exchanges, but rather to achieve Congress's fundamental purpose of making insurance affordable for all Americans.
The case revolves around four words in the Affordable Care Act, which says the tax credits are available to people who enroll through an exchange "established by the state."
The challengers to the law say a literal reading of that language invalidates the IRS subsidy to people in the federal exchanges. The opponents say that people who would otherwise qualify for the tax credits should be denied that benefit if they buy insurance on a federally facilitated exchange.
"It is implausible to believe that Congress gave the IRS discretion to authorize $150 billion per year in federal spending, particularly when Congress had directly spoken to this issue," the challengers to the IRS subsidy said in a court filing. "Major economic decisions like these — indeed, any decisions granting tax credits — must be made unambiguously by Congress itself."
The Obama administration and congressional and state legislative supporters of the Affordable Care Act say the challengers are failing to consider the words of the statute in its entirety.
"Congress did not provide that the tax credits would only be available to citizens whose states set up their own exchanges," says an appeals court filing by congressional and state legislative supporters of the Affordable Care Act. Congressional lawmakers and state legislators supporting the act said that limiting the subsidies to state exchanges could destabilize important aspects of the law, such as the individual mandate requiring most people to buy insurance.
The judges on the case were Thomas Griffith, an appointee of President George W. Bush; A. Raymond Randolph, an appointee of Bush's father; and Harry Edwards, an appointee of President Jimmy Carter, who dissented.
A lower court had ruled that the law's text, structure, purpose, and legislative history make "clear that Congress intended to make premium tax credits available on both state-run and federally-facilitated Exchanges."
But the appeals court concluded the opposite — that the letter of the law "unambiguously restricts" the law's subsidies to policies sold through exchanges established by the state.

Ashton Kutcher is SO creeped out by Demi Moore's doll collection that he wants her to bring them all somewhere and open up a musuem because he can't handle them at home anymore.
"Spent the day going through wifey's insane doll collection – 3,000
contemporary art dolls all staring at you. I'm gonna have nightmares."I'm trying to convince the wife to open a doll museum. She also has thousands of Barbies and GI Joes."
She recently got her collection insured for TWO MILLION DOLLARS. I mean, my life is not worth two million dollars let alone a doll collection! I just cannot believe that!!!!!!!!But, I guess the collection means a lot to Demi. There's an entire room in her house devoted to the dolls. She started the collection back when she was married to Bruce Willis.
Are you one of those people who is super creeped out by dolls?

Key to our ability to serve our mission is being able to depend on New Yorkers joining us and serving in creative ways. While every friend of Food Bank picks his or her own path, each shares an understanding that any gift based in great intention and commitment to mission is the best gift you can share and receive. We are so grateful for Toyota's nontraditional donation of "kaizen" to our network. By teaming up with Toyota and leveraging their production philosophy to increase our member agencies' efficiency, we are empowering our network of charities to help more people, with limited resources, in less time.
Recently, Team Kaizen brought Toyota's efficiency expertise to a Sandy-affected community in Coney Island, where the waiting time for food was cut in half in just two days. Watch the feature on NBC nightly news:
Using Kaizen, Food Bank was able to increase efficiency around our network and in our response to Hurricane Sandy. As The New York Times reported, "At a soup kitchen in Harlem, Toyota's engineers cut down the wait time for dinner to 18 minutes from as long as 90. At a food pantry on Staten Island, they reduced the time people spent filling their bags to 6 minutes from 11. And at a warehouse in Bushwick, Brooklyn, where volunteers were packing boxes of supplies for victims of Hurricane Sandy, a dose of kaizen cut the time it took to pack one box to 11 seconds from 3 minutes."
The Kaizen approach is one of continual, incremental improvement. As Toyota implemented Kaizen, "gradually our work stations were becoming less dangerous, more pleasant and more efficient. The whole production process now makes much more sense than before and it just feels like a more friendly place. How nice it is to know that next week things will make even more sense and our workers will work not harder but smarter and perhaps safer."
Our good fortune of having an out-of-the-box thinker like Toyota on team Food bank — a partner whose donation of expertise has opened the door to maximum productivity within our network — helps us show the world that you don't always have to follow a straight path when you're tackling a problem as big as hunger. Sometimes you have to make a LEFT in order to get to the RIGHT opportunities.

Octopus Lady in Profile
By Erika Moen on April 23, 2012
Yes, at last I can reveal my newest screenprint, the Octopus Lady in Profile!
This is a limited edition run of 20 hand pulled screenprints that I will be debuting at table B-8 during the Stumptown Comics Fest this weekend in Portland, OR.
Size: 11.5″ x 15″
Paper: Arches 250gm Buff paper that was mold-made in France, it is 100% cotton, acid-free and buffered with a pronounced grain, deckled edges and a lush, buttery-creamy color.
Limited Edition of 20, all signed and numbered by hand along the bottom edge.
The burned screen on the left with the transparency on the right.
This was my very first run where every single print came out perfectly— I was amazed! Normally there's little fuck ups along the way, but this time? Nope! No pieces of paper were wasted.
My inspiration for this piece came from the colors cream-yellow and raspberry– I was so excited to discover that I didn't even have to mix my inks to get this color! It's straight from the jar (Speedball, Acrylic, Process Magenta) and was absolutely perfect. And though it doesn't really show in most of these photos, the paper itself is also a super lovely off-yellow/cream color. I love it when things come together exactly like I envisioned them in my head!
This is the original transparency (used to burn this image into the screen), on top of a finished print.
Lookit 'em all! If you'd like to take one home with you, stop by table B-8 at the Stumptown Comics Fest April 28-29th. However many copies I have left over afterwards will then be released for sale in my store.

About this font family
Tritura is my personal take on textura fonts.
Several methods of drawing were used, both analog and digital, to bring its overall rough feel. Each and every character was designed not from historical references, but from my view on this very peculiar typographic style. Instead of following established rules of character construction, I preferred to just keep in mind the mechanics of the pens used in textura drawings, as well as the little I already knew from the style, to create my own characters from there.

Balkanleaks Release Classified Belene NPP Docs
Bulgarian whistle-blowing site Balkanleaks has published the classified documents about the now-notorious project to build a second Nuclear Power Plant in the Danube town of Belene.
These confidential documents have leaked anonymously through Balkanleaks, which is modeled after the famous WikiLeaks, and have been revealed for the very first time.
They include the full reports of the HSBC consultant with their assessment of the feasibility and the profitability of the project, the amounts already paid on it, Addenum 12 to the Agreement between Bulgaria's National Electric Company, NEK, and Atomexportstroy from 2006, and related appendixes.
It emerged from the above documents that by December 31, 2011, the costs were listed at EUR 837 810 224 without Value Added Tax, VAT, from which EUR 678 089 125 without VAT have been paid.
According to a reference of Atomstroyexport, by December 31, 2011, NEK had not paid the invoiced and overdue amount of EUR 59 M while another EUR 37 M have been invoiced, but were not yet overdue. Invoices for an additional EUR 37 M have not been included in the agreement for differed payments.
The full documents in English and Bulgarian can be found on the Balkanleaks site at https://www.balkanleaks.eu/en/belene-confidential.html
Bulgaria's center-right Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria, GERB, government scrapped the Belene project in March 2012, declaring it economically unfeasible. The pro-Belene Bulgarian Socialist Party, BSP, then launched a petition for a referendum on the Russian-Bulgarian project. The referendum will take place on January 27, 2013.
Discussions renewed recently on the abandoned project, with Rosatom subsidiary Atomstroyexport upping its claim against Bulgaria's National Electricity Co. to EUR 1 B and a mysterious investment fund emerging with an offer to take over the project.
Rosatom recently said it was open for an out-of-court settlement of the arbitration suit.
In the middle of July 2012, Russia's state nuclear company Atomstroyexport took Bulgaria's NEK to an arbitration court for EUR 58 M over delayed payments for its work on two nuclear reactors.
The next day the Bulgarian company said it is ready to strike back with a EUR 61 M counter claim against Atomstroyexport over delayed payments for purchases of old equipment for the plant, worth about EUR 300 M.
Three months later, on September 11, Rosatom Corp., Russia's state-run nuclear company, increased a claim against Bulgaria's National Electricity Co. from EUR 58 M to EUR 1 B.
Atomstroyexport, a unit of Rosatom, said it increased its claim filed with the International Court of Arbitration in Paris in 2011 to cover construction work and production costs of the two canceled nuclear reactors.
After it was first started in the 1980s, the construction of Bulgaria's second nuclear power plant at Belene on the Danube was stopped in the early 1990s over lack of money and environmental protests.
After selecting the Russian company Atomstroyexport, a subsidiary of Rosatom, to build a two 1000-MW reactors at Belene and signing a deal for the construction, allegedly for the price of EUR 3.997 B, with the Russians during Putin's visit to Sofia in January 2008, in September 2008, former Prime Minister Stanishev gave a formal restart of the building of Belene. At the end of 2008, German energy giant RWE was selected as a strategic foreign investor for the plant.
The Belene NPP has been de facto frozen since the fall of 2009 when the previously selected strategic investor, the German company RWE, which was supposed to provide EUR 2 B in exchange for a 49% stake, pulled out.
Shortly afterwards BNP Paribas SA, France's largest bank by market value, who was hired by the previous Socialist government to help fund the construction of Belene, ditched the project in February 2010.
RWE's departure from Bulgaria's new Belene nuclear plant put extra pressure on the new center-right government to find new shareholders while it redefines the scope of investment it needs.
NEK initially held a 51% stake in the scheme and Borisov's government planned to cut its shares in the project to 20-30%, which will still allow the country to keep its blocking quota.
Bulgaria's right-leaning Blue Coalition has challenged the legality of such a referendum.

Nestle Stake Buy Sends Osem Up Most in 3 Years: Tel Aviv Mover
Shoshanna SolomonOsem Investments Ltd. jumped the most in more than three years after Nestle SA, the world's largest foodmaker, paid a premium to raise its stake in the Israeli food producer, stoking speculation it may seek a full takeover.
Shares of Osem, which markets Nestle products in Israel, jumped 6.2 percent, the most since May 2010, to 78.9 shekels at the close in Tel Aviv. The stock was the biggest gainer on the TA-100 Index as volume climbed to 7 times the three-month daily average.
Osem Chairman Dan Propper sold most of his 4.99 percent stake to Nestle at 92.67 shekels a share, a 25 percent premium to the closing price yesterday. That builds on Nestle's existing 59 percent stake in the Shoham, Israel-based company, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Shares of Osem trade at 24.2 times projected 12-month earnings, compared with a multiple of 14.1 for the TA-100.
"The move by Nestle increases its stake to 65 percent and some investors may believe that the next step is a tender bid by Nestle for full control of the company," Zach Herzog, head of international sales at Psagot Securities in Tel Aviv, said by phone. The price Nestle paid may be regarded as "a benchmark for public shareholders," he said.
A spokeswoman for Osem, who asked not to be identified because of company policy, declined to comment.
Nestle, based in Vevey, Switzerland, first acquired a stake in Osem in 1998, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. With the sale, Propper's holding in the declines to less than 0.1 percent and he will stay on as chairman until the end of March 2016, Osem said in a filing to the Tel Aviv bourse yesterday.

the hp to torque i was talkin bout the ratio my bad!
This is a discussion on Smoked a 350z (meh....) within the Comparison: WRX vs World forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; the hp to torque i was talkin bout the ratio my bad!...
the hp to torque i was talkin bout the ratio my bad!
you might beat some z's off a roll but you'll be slowly walking away if nething in a stage 2 wrx and thats with the older ones, some stage 2 wrx's just wont beat it, its weird but some stage 2 wrx's seem stronger then others. Newer HR engines are quicker so i don't think a stage 2 wrx is going to be touching a HR Z. Also a stock g35 would destroy a stock wrx off a roll and would hang with a stage 2 rex. (6 speeds)
The Ghosts of Zooph and Sarcasmo Will haunt CLUBWRX forever!!!
Only a year and a half later...
I think a 2009 WRX at stage 2 would do quite well against any Z. Even bone stock would be up to the drivers.
It's amazing what 18 months has done for the "regular" WRX.

I've beat a 350 racing down the highway and then we both got beat by a turbo civic. The Z and me were racing and then out of no where a turbo civic comes up from behind and blast by both of us. I still beat the Z.
When you do things right people wont be sure you've done anything at all.
Crabcakes and football thats what Maryland does.
I actually raced a g35 the other day (did a few pulls). He had exhaust. From a dig i killed him bad and held him off to about 105 where i let off and he flew by me. From a roll we were about even i pulled him once and another time he pulled me. I am running perrin stage 1 on an 08 wrx with a short shifter (although that doesnt really make a difference).
Just thought id add my experience with a g35
2002 bugeye - R.I.P
2008 hatch - Perrin stage 2
350's are pretty quick but I wouldn't bet my money on them stock for stock against WRX every time. Of course with the variances in hp figures for both cars since 03, it can be both a driver's race and model year advantage. I still prefer the horse bucking boxer bronco any day. It's just fun to drive.

Arthur Woolf, (baptized Nov. 4, 1766, Camborne, Cornwall, Eng.—died Oct. 26, 1837, Guernsey), British engineer who pioneered in the development of the compound steam engine.
Woolf began as a carpenter and then worked for the engineer and inventor Joseph Bramah. As engineer for a London brewery, he began experimenting with steam power and patented the Woolf high-pressure compound engine in 1804 and 1805. Its thermal efficiency was 7.5 percent, almost twice that of James Watt's expansion engine. In 1810, after Watt's patent expired, Woolf revived and improved Jonathan Hornblower's compound engine of 1781. He returned to Cornwall in 1812 to introduce his engine for pumping mines. It was widely used until it was superseded in the next decade by Richard Trevithick's more efficient high-pressure engine.

Patterns of Human Interaction by Marco Ahtisaari
Recently I came across a presentation on "Patterns of Human Interaction" by Marko Ahtisaari (Global head of Nokia Design) at Copenhagen Design Week, which not only blew my mind, but changed my perspective about presentation all together.
About the presentation
Five billion people have a mobile phone. Today, no single, technological device is more in our hands than the mobile phone – it has become the media through which humans interact.
Marko Ahtisaari is the global head of Nokia's design unit, and he is responsible for Nokia's product and user experience design. During Copenhagen Design Week, Marko shared Nokia's thoughts on how design will shape and influence the patterns of human interaction in the future at a Nokia event at Bella Sky Hotel.
What I found unique about the presentation is, Marko leaves a deeper impact without trying hard to sell. Its plane awesome, and it is modest and it is honest, which I think appeals to everybody equally. Marko is well dressed and extremely efficient in his walk, and he talk with a very positive body language. He always seems to be at ease and is smiling most of the time in a most friendly manner. Each of his words tell, he is clear and concise, he does not repeat, he does not overstate, his words all fit precisely in his talk. He makes a point he is trying to make, in a straight forward and most effective manner. And most important of all his presentation does not even have any bells and whistles.
Blank white screen with a white door ! amazing !
Most of the first few pages are hand drawn concepts or a single image. No chimming sounds, no explosion effects and no cutting edge graphics.
Absolutely awesome ! My new idol ! If you want to learn how to present well learn from him Marko Ahtisaari (The Best presenter I have seen in the world). Each and everything he does is simple, yet mind blowing.
That also reminded me of something very unique, when I joined Nokia 2 1/2 years ago. I came to know that Nokia is all about "Being Humble" and I think thats the finiish culture completely opposite of American culture, which is a bit more aggressive salesmanship like ofcourse Steve Jobs.
Thank You for the Inspiration Marco Ahtisaari
Here are excerpts from another blog about the same presentation .
The Finnish Way of Being
Serendipitously I happened to bump into another type of Finnish awesomeness. I listened to Senior VP of Design at Nokia Marko Ahtisaari's presentation at the Copenhagen Design Week.
The first 12 minutes (the rest of it is mostly about Nokia design and future development, interesting as well) of his speech 'Patterns of Human Interaction' had an effect on me. His humble way of speaking about how better design can help us to make each other feel that we are welcome, is just awesome. A beautiful perspective!
Another observation I made is his style of speaking, it is very Finnish (read: very non-American). He is not shouting and feverishly waving his hands – no, instead he applies the traditional Finnish style: he is calm, speaks very softly and is overall adorable and kind. And all that without being boring. It kind of reminds me of the way Facebook's COO Sheryl Sandberg speaks. Or Alex Osterwalder, or Aalto Entrepreneurship Society's president Miki Kuusi. So I warmly recommend you to listen to Marko, at least the first 12 minutes.
Small Talk and Positive Silence
These great people and the two events – AaltoES with Steve Blank & Marko Ahtisaari and his talk about more human design principles – made me think about what is "Finnishness", and why I'll find it awesome and full of possibilities for the entrepreneurship too.
The Finnishness?, you may ask. Yes, we do have some national characteristics that can be more rare among other nationalities, we can be seen as very shy, but on the other hand our curiosity and creativity makes it easy for us to connect and share. To connect and share, and most importantly to listen. On top of that we are very persistent and diligent; we don't like to give in. Except in football.
We Finns can easily be silent in company with other people. It's natural. Foreigners often find our silence odd, or fascinating. Professor of Communication Donal Carbaugh, from University of Massachusetts at Amherst, have written an excellent paper about this – Silence and Quietude as a Finnish"Natural Way of Being" [pdf], with the following description:
"A Finnish communication code that structures some cultural scenes as occasions for positive silence, exhibiting a social model of personhood for which this is a valued, respected, and natural practice."
I just love this expression, positive silence. Please consider positive silence as time for thinking, reflecting, and listening. The paper explains the Finnish way of communication with many good example stories; it can truly help in understanding us Finns…
Another great read is this short article of the Helsinki Times – No small talk please, we're Finnish, in which freelance journalist Susan Fourtané describes her experiences:
"I particularly enjoyed the thoughtfulness and the moments of silence in between, giving space for observing our own thoughts before speaking. Yes, you have heard it right. Finns don't do small talk. They don't think a moment of shared silence is awkward. On the contrary, it is part of the conversation. A direct question gets a direct answer. There is no nonsense talk about nothing. There is no asking "How are you?" ten times until someone says something else, or stating the obvious. Finns are more interested in how you think, how you perceive Finland or what keeps you in this small and cold country, as they refer to beautiful and peaceful Finland."
Less small talk and more positive silence, I believe that this enables better listening, and further better understanding.

J.J. Hickson had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and Lance Stephenson scored 23 for Indiana. The Pacers split a road back-to-back set after winning the night before in Sacramento.
Paul George added 18 points and David West 16 for the Pacers, who lost for the eighth time in nine trips to Denver.
Trailing by 19 at halftime, the Pacers got back in the game in a hurry, opening the third quarter with a 16-3 run in which Stephenson had seven of his points.
The Nuggets responded with a 7-0 burst late in the third that helped them take a 10-point lead into the fourth quarter.
Roy Hibbert, who was held to five points, became the second Pacers player to foul out after drawing his sixth foul with 3:19 remaining. Still, the Pacers pulled to 101-94 when Stephenson made a pair of free throws with 3:14 left. But the Nuggets wouldn't let the Pacers finish off the comeback, getting five straight points on free throws, including a pair from the foul line on technicals on David West and Pacers coach Frank Vogel.
The Pacers managed one more basket down the stretch but that was more than offset by Hickson's emphatic dunk with 1:09 remaining, the final points of the game.
Denver was up 22-18 after the first quarter and began the second with an 11-0 run highlighted by a pair of 3-pointers by Robinson.
