Fruit Gums are sour! Above and beyond what is normal for my dull taste palette. Seeing my pinched-faced reaction to the sour candy made my husband chuckle, though. He enjoyed the Fruit Gums, finding them pleasantly tangy and flavorful. If my fellow American has overlooked this particular candy, then allow me to describe who makes the sour candies, where to find them, and how they taste.
Nestle, a British-Owned Company Known Throughout the USA
I have very fond memories about – what I considered – the world's best chocolate candy bar, named Crunch. Located in Oregon for a family reunion during my childhood, my father sat me down and happily explained to me about the Nestle company. Sadly, I retained nothing but the name: Nestle.
On the other hand, when I found out about Nestle's British roots, I was ecstatic! For I learned I've been enjoying British candy since my childhood. And now I've learned about the company's expansion into other food products, such as Fruit Gums.
To be specific, Fruit Gums comes from Nestle's subcompany, called Rowntree. From this subcompany comes the various and distinctly British candies. Today I will talk about their traditional-flavored sour Fruit Gums.
Where to Find Nestle's Fruit Gums in USA's Northern California
Anyone who has searched through my previous blog posts will know exactly how much I love two particular markets in Northern California: Nugget Markets being my top favorite, and Cost Plus World Market standing solidly at second place. In this particular instance, the sour Fruit Gums came from Cost Plus World Market.
I remember writing before about the wide variety of British foods and candies found at Cost Plus World Market. There had once been question as to their products's origins. However, the market's products seem to actually come from other countries, for my British friends seem to recognize the candy.
Earlier in Spring 2017, Alex and I had the opportunity to load up on British candy from this particular market. Unfortunately, we will need to load up again at a later date, for it went bad from the 100ºF and plus weather, which the Sacramento Valley has been suffering under for months. Therefore, to provide my readers with the full British experience, I will need to buy them again to review them!
We Know the Fruit Gums are Sour, but How Else Do They Taste?
Before answering this question, I need to clarify a point: These particular Fruit Gums I tried were traditional Fruit Gums, and they had no relation to the intentionally, painfully, and saliva-inducing sour variety. For me, the traditional Fruit Gums have their very own ability to induce saliva. This downgraded the candy, in my opinion.
Otherwise, the Fruit Gums had very pleasant flavors. The traditional flavor list includes blackcurrant, orange, strawberry, and lemon and lime. Admittedly, I had no clue about how the blackcurrant would taste. Upon first biting into the small candy, I thought the candy had molded. Alex corrected me, emphasizing on blackcurrant's somewhat bitter flavor – at least, bitter according to this American, who dearly loves her sweets. Once I realized my mistake, I thoroughly enjoyed all the flavors!
Alex enjoyed the grid on the candy's top, but that seems to be where most of the sourness came from. Moreover, only people who enjoy hard candies, like Alex, would enjoy Fruit Gums, for they were made to be hard and chewy. Those who prefer softer candies, like me, would prefer something else.
When Deciding to Try Fruit Gums for the First Time
I object, adamantly and vigorously, whenever I catch someone turning up his nose at a specific food or dish that he has never tried. Everyone has a different taste palette. Even if two people come from the same culture, or even the same family, their tastes can differ dramatically. Therefore, when the question comes on whether to try Fruit Gums or not, I will always encourage people to explore different cultural tastes. And to try the candy!
* * * * *
Have you ever tried Fruit Gums? If yes, did you find them bitter and sour, or chewy and flavorful? What about the Fruit Pastilles? Have you ever tried them? How do you like them compared to Fruit Gums?

From the open bell to the final round Nietes looked world class, out boxing, out fighting and controlling hi Mexican foe who was cut early in the bout yet never once looked like caving in. Despite the desire from Alejo he was, at times, little more than a heavy bag for Nietes who had the chance to try what he wanted in a session that resembled target practice for the talented, though smaller Nietes.
Come the final bell there was no doubting the winner with the Filipino posting a near shut out. losing just a single round on two of the cards.
Sadly whilst Nietes was thoroughly impressive in terms of his performance he did lack the stoppage that he would likely have wanted, saying that though it would have taken something very special to stop Alejo who came out looking like a great test for fighters coming through the ranks, though is far from a world class fighter and probably shouldn't be given another shot at a world title. Saying that however we all know how boxing works and it'd be no shock to see him get another shot in the next few years, at least if he can string together a few wins of note.

Tricky situation this week: Two genre releases, but one, while good, is getting a very limited release to start; the other, while making it to more venues, doesn't quite merit the attention. So we're dipping into our 50th Anniversary archives to bring out a goody from 1962: Burn, Witch, Burn (a.k.a. Night of the Eagle). The tale of college professor who comes to grief when he insists his wife quit employing supernatural forces to help him advance his career, the film boasts a script by Charles Beaumont and Richard Matheson -- based on Fritz Leiber's Conjure Wife -- some impressive performances (particularly by Janet Blair as the conjuring spouse), an overall handsome production, and, in the American release, a Paul Frees-voiced prologue that has to be heard to be believed.
This week's main topic was proposed by Cinefantastique Online managing editor Steve Biodrowski and he joins Lawrence French and Dan Persons to discuss what works and what's just a little silly in this little-known but very satisfying exercise in modern-day horror. Then Steve weighs in on the week's (semi-)major release, the claustrophobic thriller ATM, and Dan gives his opinion on Morgan Spurlock's elaborate documentary, Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope

By TMHA Staff
An Master of Healthcare Administration online is designed for healthcare professionals seeking to advance to management positions in a variety of healthcare settings, and this list of program rankings is a valuable resource for students looking to get started.
Ranking the Top 15 Best Online Master's in Healthcare Administration Programs 2017
We used a stringent set of requirements to find the absolute best master's degrees in health administration online. Using data from College Navigator, we searched not just for colleges that have online MHA programs, but specifically ones that are actively conferring degrees. Therefore, we only considered schools that graduated at least five students from their online program in the 2014-15 school year. We also only considered degrees with comprehensive MHA curricula; related (but less focused) programs – such as MBAs with a concentration in Healthcare and MS degrees in Health Services, Healthcare Leadership, etc. – were not eligible for consideration.
Although we did not rank schools directly on their affordability, we did set a maximum limit on cost. Again using data from College Navigator, we calculated the approximate tuition for graduate students at each school (averaging in-state and out-of-state rates when necessary) and eliminated any programs with average tuition expenses over $20,000 per year.
We compared the remaining programs in four categories: Accreditation, Delivery Methods, Concentrations, and (to a lesser extent) Popularity. Colleges earned points for:
- Having a program-specific accreditation, preferably from the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME) although we also awarded credit for accreditation from business/management-related agencies
- Offering their program 100% online (no face-to-face residencies or campus visits required)
- Providing customization options through concentrations or specializing their program in some way (ex. by adding an emphasis on health policy)
- Maintaining more active/popular programs, as determined by the number of online MHA graduate degrees they conferred in the most recent school year
15. University of St Francis
|Concentrations: None
|Delivery: 100% Online
|Accreditation: Regional
Though the University of St Francis's online MHA lacks some of the extra bells and whistles that other top programs claim (e.g. CAHME accreditation, concentration options) it excels in the most important areas. Namely, the flexibility – all classes are available online as well as on campus and at satellite locations in Birmingham, AL and Joliet, IL. For added convenience, USF allows new students to start their classes in any semester (spring, summer, or fall). This program is also shorter than most masters degrees in health administration online, so you can get your diploma – and get on with your life – in as few as 15 months.
Tuition: $739.00 per credit hour
For more info: University of St. Francis
14. Ohio University
|Concentrations: None
|Delivery: 100% Online
|Accreditation: Regional
According to College Navigator, Ohio University graduated nearly 180 students from its online master's in healthcare administration program in the 2014-15 school year, making it the largest (and most popular) choice on our online MHA degrees ranking. And it's little wonder why – with 100% online classes, a compact two-year course schedule, and no GRE required for admission, this program is about as convenient as it gets. You'll likely also appreciate the "future-focused" coursework, which emphasizes topics that will be applicable to the industry for years to come. Examples of such forward-thinking classes include "Information Systems for Health Services" and "Ethical Issues in Healthcare."
Tuition: $654.00 per credit (resident)/$673.00 per credit (non resident)
For more info: Ohio University
13. California State University-East Bay
|Concentrations: None
|Delivery: 100% Online
|Accreditation: Regional
Self-described as a "surprisingly achievable" program, CSU East Bay's online MS in Healthcare Administration makes convenience and flexibility its top priority. The university's student-centered design utilizes a quarter system that allows you to take classes year-round (but fewer at a time) so you can get your degree (and get on with your life) that much sooner. Each course runs for 10 weeks and contains 10 instructional modules, giving you an easy and organized way to learn about complex topics like healthcare policy analysis, quality assessment and improvement, and strategic management.
Tuition: $339.00 per credit
For more info: California State University- East Bay
12. Central Michigan University
|Concentrations: None
|Delivery: 100% Online
|Accreditation: Regional
At 51 credits, CMU's curriculum is among the largest on this top masters degrees in health administration online ranking. The basic course list consists of 45 credits on a wide range of topics, from "Managerial Epidemiology" and "Organizational Dynamics and Human Behavior" to "Health Informatics and Quality Improvement." You'll fulfill the program's remaining requirements by completing a 6-credit internship, field experience, or thesis. By providing three different options, the university enables students to pick the activity that best fits their needs. For instance, someone with professional experience may not need an internship but could build expertise in a specialization by writing a research paper on that topic.
Tuition: $548.00 per credit
For more information: Central Michigan University
11. Roberts Wesleyan College
|Concentrations: None
|Delivery: 100% Online
|Accreditation: IACBE
Roberts Wesleyan College may lack the coveted CAHME accreditation to which so many schools aspire, but it has something pretty close – an accreditation from the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education. The IACBE recognizes only the best business and management programs at colleges around the world, and RWC's online MHA is one of the few that has made the cut. The superiority of the school's business curriculum manifests in sharply-focused classes like "Health Outcomes, Performance, and Six Sigma" and "Leadership Coaching for Healthcare Professionals." Ultimately, this management-oriented approach will help prepare you for an executive position in the industry – or perhaps a promotion from your current employer!
Tuition: $749.00 per credit
For more info: Roberts Wesleyan College
10. Utica College
|Concentrations: Acute Care, Service Organizations, Long-Term Care
|Delivery: 100% Online
|Accreditation: Regional
Utica stands out from the many other top online master's in healthcare administration degrees on this list in one obvious way: concentrations. While most programs offer few options for customization, Utica attracts applicants by providing distinct areas of specialization. After completing the 21 credits of core "Continuum of Care" classes, you'll enter into a 12-credit Leadership Track focusing on Acute Care (hospitals, medical facilities), Service (government organizations, research), or Long-Term Care (nursing homes). The latter track even includes the mandatory classes for nursing home administration licensure, although you will need to double-check the requirements in your home state.
Tuition: $511.00 per credit
For more information: Utica College
9. Saint Joseph's University
|Concentrations: General, Informatics
|Delivery: 100% Online
|Accreditation: Regional
Saint Joseph's University is another unique find among masters degrees in administration online, as it grants students the freedom to customize their degree program. The curriculum includes a "General" track, which includes standard coursework in epidemiology and health policy, as well as an Informatics track. In the latter, program members prepare for a technology-oriented career through classes like "Health Care and the Internet" and "Computer-based Patient Records (CPR)." Due to the demands of the field, the Informatics concentration includes four classes to the General track's two, which means it will also likely take one additional semester to complete.
Tuition: $853.00 per credit
For more information: Saint Joseph's University
8. Pfeiffer University
|Concentrations: General, Leadership
|Delivery: 100% Online
|Accreditation: Regional
A uniquely versatile program, Pfeiffer University's MHA balances qualities of both an online degree and and a traditional college experience – which might explain why it lands right in the middle of our top MHA degrees online ranking! For example, while the curriculum is available entirely online, it also includes the option to earn course credit while studying abroad in Europe, Canada, or even Africa. Pfeiffer also provides a modified version of the coursework for students who want to earn a concentration in Leadership. In the Leadership sequence, you'll take the same total number of classes as your traditional MHA classmates, but with fewer core classes to make room for a 12-credit MSL (Master of Science in Leadership) sequence.
Tuition: $640.00 per credit
For more info: Pfeiffer University
7. Colorado State University-Global Campus
|Concentrations: Several (Learn More)
|Delivery: 100% Online
|Accreditation: Regional
Many people know Colorado State University's Global Campus as a popular choice for online learners. And considering it graduated nearly 100 students from its affordable online master's in healthcare administration in 2014-15, its MHA program is no exception! Some of this appeal is no doubt due to the program's novel curriculum, which combines a 24-credit (8 classes) core sequence with a concentration of your choosing. And the library of specializations is vast – you can choose to take your final eight credits from just about any one of CSU's other graduate programs, which include Business Intelligence, Information Technology, Finance, and many others.
Tuition: $500.00 per credit
For more information: Colorado State University Global Campus
6. Minnesota State University-Moorhead
|Concentrations: None
|Delivery: 100% Online
|Accreditation: CAHME (Pending)
Minnesota State University Moorhead graduated just six students from its online MHA degree in the 2014-15 school year, making it by far the smallest program on this list. But don't let the low attendance fool you – in fact, MSU might just be the best kept secret in MHA programs online. And with its candidacy application for CAHME accreditation currently pending, this degree could be getting ready to experience a surge in popularity. Plus, at less than $400/credit for in-state applicants, MSU Moorhead is one of the most affordable programs on our list.
Tuition: $375.00 per credit (resident)/$750.00 per credit (non-resident)
For more information: University of Minnesota- Moorhead
5. Virginia Commonwealth University
|Concentrations: None
|Delivery: Online + On Campus Residencies
|Accreditation: CAHME (Residential Only)
People who live in and around Richmond, VA have long been able to take advantage of one of VCU's most prestigious programs – a CAHME-accredited MHA with a leadership focus and a top 10 ranking from U.S. News & World Report. Unfortunately, that program is only available on campus. To address this limitation, VCU has developed an online analog – an MSHA (Master of Science in Health Administration) that features flexible scheduling specifically tailored to working adults. This version of the degree only requires you to attend six on-campus sessions throughout your entire 22-month enrollment, making it feasible for you to earn your degree from anywhere in the country.
Tuition: $453.88 per credit (full-time resident)/$933.17 per credit (full-time non-resident)
For more information: Virginia Commonwealth University
4. Pennsylvania State University-World Campus
|Concentrations: Health Policy and Administration
|Delivery: Online + On Campus Residencies
|Accreditation: CAHME (Residential Only)
Leveraging the combined power of the Department of Health Policy and Administration with the Department of Public Affairs and a top-notch online education system, Penn State's "World Campus" delivers everything you could need in an online MHA degree. The program closely mirrors the residential curriculum, which has been around for nearly three decades and boasts accreditation from CAHME. Although you won't be able to earn your MHA entirely online, travel time is limited. Students will only need to visit Penn State's main campus (in University Park, PA) twice – once in the first semester and again the final semester – to complete their required face-to-face residencies.
Tuition: $930 per credit
For more information: Pennsylvania State University World Campus
3. University of Central Florida
|Concentrations: None
|Delivery: 100% Online
|Accreditation: CAHME
The University of Central Florida offers an "Executive" Master's in Health Administration online in a format that is especially convenient for working professionals. However, due to the nature of the program, applicants are only eligible if they have at least three years of experience in healthcare management. The benefit of this approach is that all program members share a similar professional background and classes cater to their unique needs. Instead of acquiring more work experience through internships and practicums, you'll take more advanced theoretical coursework like "Health Care Informatics for Health Care Leaders" and "Epidemiology and Health Planning." There is also a final capstone class in healthcare and strategic management.
Tuition: $772.69 per credit
For more information: University of Central Florida
2. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
|Concentrations: Health Policy and Management
|Delivery: Online + On Campus Residencies
|Accreditation: CAHME
Although it is one of the most expensive programs on this online MHA degrees ranking, the University of North Carolina's online Master's in Health Administration is well worth the cost. After all, how can you put a price on the opportunity to attend not just one of the best online programs in healthcare, but one of the best colleges in the nation? As a bonus, this "Executive" MHA doesn't require any specific prior coursework or professional experience to apply. Of course, the curriculum is rigorous – students must complete 49 credits (average time to completion is two years) and a total of six on-campus residencies – so it is required that you be up for a challenge!
Tuition: $778.28 per credit (resident)/$1,692.39 per credit (non-resident)
For more information: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
1. University of Scranton
|Concentrations: None
|Delivery: 100% Online
|Accreditation: CAHME
The award for the best online master's in healthcare administration on our list goes to the University of Scranton. This program is one of the only MHA degrees in the entire country that is both CAHME-accredited and available 100% online. And while the curriculum lacks specific concentration options, it does include an internship requirement and lets students choose an advanced elective course from options like "Medical Practice Administration" and "Grants Writing and Management." The 47-credit curriculum also includes a hefty dose of foundation and core classes across topics like financial management, human resources, and even ethics.
Tuition: $940.00 per credit
For more information: The University of Scranton

Exeposé Features meet the leader of Britain's most controversial political party, Nigel Farage.
EXETER'S Great Hall recently played host to one of its more curious weekend events: the UKIP party conference. Campus was flooded with more than the usual amount of tweed jackets and wealthy people. When I caught up with him, Nigel Farage was quietly lurking at the back of the hall. "Can we go outside?" he asks, "I'd like to have a smoke, and they won't let me in here." So far, so Farage.
Nigel Farage is certainly the politician of the hour. His poll ratings are up, the popularity of the EU is down, and he is increasingly
snatching the limelight from the other political big beasts. Many heavyweights in the main parties privately admit they are worried about the effect that Farage's party, the "party for beer-drinkers, taxi drivers and patriots", will have on the next election.
And Farage knows it. "The European Elections will be an opportunity for us to cause an earthquake in British politics", he says with a mischievous grin. His recent appearances on Sky and the BBC are doing more and more to solidify UKIP as a serious and distinct challenger to Labour and the Conservatives. What are they offering which is so different? "The politics of principle", Farage explains, "We've got some ideas and we're not constrained by political correctness." He knows all too well that his greatest strength, UKIP's place outside the 'political class', may be the other parties' greatest weakness.
Farage is keen on this distinction; being British politics' most high profile 'outside man'. He makes a point of distancing himself from the other party leaders, explaining this was part of his reasoning behind rejecting the much-speculated pact with the Conservatives after David Cameron's promise of an EU referendum. "I don't think I trust him. There are some people you can shake hands with and think a deal's a deal, and I don't really place Cameron in that category." But he's all too flattering about his fellow Westminster misfits. "I like Boris very much. And Michael Gove, I like Gove. If there was a different leader who would listen to our views, rather than dismiss them out of hand with insults, then maybe the situation could change."
At this point of the interview, Farage's phone goes off. "Hello, hello.", he barks into his Blackberry, "I'm doing an interview, I'll ring you back." With a last deep puff, his cigarette burns down to the end, and he presses it into the ground with his patent leather brogues. "Where were we then?"
Given the recent problems some UKIP candidates have had in the local elections, Farage knows it isn't all rosy in the UKIP garden. "There are one or two image issues that could be more positive", he says, "perhaps we look a little old fashioned to some people." As it moves into poll position as the favourite for the European Elections in 2014, UKIP is facing significant teething problems. Despite its efforts in Eastleigh, UKIP was unable to secure that all-important first seat in Parliament. Farage is aware of the ongoing predicament that he tends to get higher approval ratings than his party colleagues, but is adamant that a UKIP victory in Eastleigh wouldn't have been assured by a little Farage charm. "I'm not particularly sure I would have done any better", he insists dismissively, but with uncharacteristic evasiveness.
Given his experience losing to Speaker John Bercow in the 2010 General Election, he might be right. "I enjoyed running and I was freed from responsibilities of being party leader, which was a tremendous relief" Farage explains, with a throaty chuckle. Even on the subject of his plane crash, he seems unperturbed. "You do things in life; some of them work, some of them don't, and it didn't finish up very well but there you are."
But he sees many, many green shoots for UKIP in the future. While right-wing parties tend to struggle with the youth vote, Farage's UKIP have found it a lot easier to attract a fresher, younger demographic. For him, Europe is their golden ticket to getting beyond the grey vote: "We think Europe is a little back yard run by a load of unelected old men. Going round universities, there is a terrific amount of support for our ideas." UKIP's youth wing is reinventing itself, and may well end up sizeable force in student politics.
From the conference hall, we hear applause from the audience. An elderly lady waits patiently inside for an audience with the party leader. Farage glances towards the door, then his watch. It's almost time for his big speech.
He still has time for one last hurrah. Nigel Farage is, for the moment, UKIP's one-man-band, but his Deputy Paul Nuttal is increasingly moving into the spotlight. "He's very young", Farage notes, "but he's bald so he looks old. Bald people always look old. They look ancient at 30, and at 80 they look young, it's very very strange." With that, he rolls his eyes upwards, turns on his heel, and disappears inside.
UKIP has many problems, but after this conference, the party is definitely on a high. And with its politician-turned-celebrity, Nigel Farage, at the helm, we can expect to see much more from Britain's political mavericks.

With unlimited potential for ski descents, the backcountry is where the heart of every true skier resides. The shift from resort skiing to the backcountry has taken off in recent years and our beginner backcountry ski course will give you the foundational skills you need to get out of the lift lines.
Our certified ski guides will teach you to use the gear, how to route find and to backcountry ski on this course. Whether your objective is to ski untracked backcountry powder or to experience the beauty of alpine ski touring, this weekend course will introduce you to one of the fastest growing winter activities in the world.
The opportunity for backcountry skiing in Banff, Canmore, Kananaskis and Lake Louise is nearly limitless. Discover this magnificent sport and learn the skills to get out backcountry skiing where its 'fresh tracks' nearly every run. Caution: You may never return to a ski hill again!
In addition to taking this beginner backcountry skiing course in Banff, check out the 'Plus Days' add-on option and you'll be just blown away by what you can accomplish in a weekend. This course is ideally suited for resort skiers who want training in backcountry skiing.
There is a definite difference between resort skiing and backcountry skiing. To maximize the field time, we meet you on Friday night at our office to discuss gear and start our course overview. This saves time on the following day so we can head straight to the mountains to begin skiing.

Sign up for our 'Plus Day' add-on option where you'll get the opportunity to get out for another backcountry ski and put into practice all of the skills you've acquired. (Must be 18 years of age or older unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.)
Meeting Time and Place
The course begins Friday at 6:30pm at the Yamnuska office. The Yamnuska office is located at 200, 50 Lincoln Park, Canmore. See this map for location.
Guides and Group Size
Our instructors are certified professional ski guides who are licensed to teach and guide in the backcountry. There will be a maximum of 8 participants per guide and a maximum of 16 participants on the course. There will be a minimum of 4 participants on this program.
Participants are responsible for their own transport to Canmore, Alberta which is a one hour (100km) drive west from Calgary. Guest's are responsible for their own transportation during the program.
Accommodation and Meals
Accommodation in Canmore is not included. A variety of accommodation options exist in both Canmore and Banff. We recommend that you book your own pre and post-trip accommodations well in advance as all levels of accommodations in the Bow Valley fill quickly.
Food is not supplied. Each day bring plenty to drink and a lunch plus energy snacks. We particularly suggest bringing a Thermos and hot drink.
Equipment and Clothing
You will need to bring your own clothing, alpine touring skis, alpine touring boots, poles, climbing skins and daypack. If you have your own personal avalanche safety equipment, it is great to bring this along as well as some beacons have different features which we can explain during the avalanche practice sessions. However, we will provide you with avalanche safety equipment if you do not have your own.
The equipment and clothing you bring will have a big impact upon the quality of your experience. Please be sure to bring all items listed. If you are unsure about anything please don't hesitate to call and ask us!
There are two backcountry ski systems you can use: System 1: Alpine Touring skis are essentially downhill skis with a special touring binding which allows the heel to lift while going uphill or across the flats and then locks down to become a regular downhill style ski binding. We recommend this system to anyone with a background of downhill skiing who is not already an advanced telemark skier. System 2: Telemark skis. These should only be used for this program if you are at least an advanced-intermediate telemark skier with some backcountry experience. This system is more difficult and less forgiving than the other.
Which should you use? If you are a downhill skier then you should use Alpine Touring gear. If you are already an advanced Telemark skier you can bring Telemark gear.
Both types of gear can be rented in Canmore or Calgary prior to the course. We recommend reserving your gear in advance.
Splitboard – Snowboards can be used on this program, however, a splitboard is required.
Equipment List
You need to bring:
- Skis with alpine touring bindings We recommend a short (160 – 185cm) wide ski designed for powder. Please see note under rental information if you are renting ski equipment.
- Climbing skins 'Stick-on type'
- Ski Poles
- Ski boots (Alpine touring boots)
- Ski Helmet (optional)
- Daypack (large enough for spare clothes, lunch & equipment – all content should fit inside a 40-50L pack)
- Sunglasses and ski goggles
- Thermos flask and water bottle.
- Sun block and Lip Cream
- Pocket knife
- Headlamp with fresh batteries
- Small Blister and personal First-Aid Kit
Clothing List
We suggest bringing light clothing of varying thicknesses that can be 'layered' to achieve comfort and versatility. The most important consideration for clothing is the ability to regulate temperature as you change from periods of activity to periods of rest and from the ascent to the descent.
- Long underwear top and bottoms (light weight synthetic or wool)
- Warm pants (nylon blend, insulated or fleece)
- Warm shirt (synthetic or wool)
- Medium weight fleece sweater

*Please note that your 'DIN' or 'Release Value' settings on your ski bindings are critical to your safety while skiing. Our expectation is that everyone arrives on programs with their ski binding's release value correctly set. We have noted that some ski rental shops will not set release values on touring bindings. We advise you to rent from a shop that will set release values on your ski touring bindings unless you are proficient and comfortable setting your own DIN / release value. Failure to have Release Values correctly set could result in a serious injury.
Please book as early as practical to avoid disappointment. We require full payment on booking.
We ask that you familiarize yourself with our detailed booking instructions and conditions.
Please note that you will be required to sign our waiver before commencing the program. Please view our sample waiver copy.
There are two basic types of insurance that most travelers need to consider: Medical and Cancellation/Trip Interruption Insurance. We offer our guests coverage for both and highly recommend you purchase it.
Emergency Medical Expenses Insurance:
It is wise to ensure that your health plan will cover you in case of illness or accident during your trip. Obtain extra coverage if necessary. There is no charge for rescue in the national and provincial parks, however costs such as air or ground transportation, long term care and other services are not covered.
Cancellation/Trip Interruption Insurance:
We recognize that our guests' schedules may change for many reasons; business, family, flight delays, injuries and other unplanned events. For these eventualities the Trip Cancellation/Interruption insurance is a great way to protect your investment.
For all your travel insurance requirements we recommend the Simpson Group. This agency offers a wide range of travel insurance options including Trip Cancellation/Interruption, Travel Medical and Personal Effect Loss for Canadian Travelers.
Please note that this coverage is for Canadian residents only. For guests who are not from Canada and who are interested in the 'Visitors to Canada' insurance package please contact the Simpson Group directly at firstname.lastname@example.com and reference your Yamnuska Mountain Adventure's trip.
$425 CDN includes instruction and avalanche safety equipment. GST is extra.
Trip Cancellation Insurance is available through the Simpson Group.
Optional PLUS DAY:
$345 plus GST. The day following the 'Intro to Backcountry Skiing'. Available to program participants only.
Is it for you?
In this course we introduce participants to backcountry skiing through a better understanding of their gear plus the basic skills and practices required for a safer and more enjoyable backcountry experience. Avalanche awareness will be touched upon, but it is strongly recommended that participants also take the Avalanche Skills Training Level 1 course offered by Yamnuska if they wish to continue backcountry skiing.
Participants are required to be at least intermediate skiers on alpine or telemark gear (i.e. must feel comfortable on blue runs in most conditions). Participants should be 'hiking fit'. This course is appropriate as your first backcountry skiing experience.
Splitboarders should be at an advanced level of snowboarding at the resort and able to handle flat sections and traverses. Note that our guides will be on skis but are familiar with splitboarding equipment.

Shonda Rhimes Previews Grey's Anatomy Valentines Day EpisodeSteve Marsi at . Comments
The last new episode of Grey's Anatomy was an all-inclusive holiday bonanza. Next month, the show will get into a festive mood once again in its first-ever Valentine's Day episode.
The big plans? Derek and Owen have a double date in mind. Cute, right?
It might be, except that "Meredith is not a Valentine's Day girl, and neither is Cristina," creator Shonda Rhimes tells TV Guide, "so the guys will try to force them to enjoy the holiday."
Celebrating Valentine's Day more willingly? Callie and Arizona!
The two "go out on a date and exchange gifts at four o'clock because they know they'll be in the ER in the evening," then play cupid for Bailey and anesthesiologist Ben Warren.
The new character, played by hunky actor Jason George, will (according to Shonda) give our workaholic Nazi "a little bit of lovin'" and we can't wait to see how that plays out!
Looks like romance is on the not-too-distant horizon for Bailey!
What about for intriguing newcomer Dr. Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams)?
"I think he's adorable, but he's not ready for that," says Rhimes. "There's a sense of the audience not knowing where he's going to land, and I'd like to keep it that way awhile."
Turning our attention to Izzie-less Alex, Rhimes hints that he'll "find his own way to amuse himself quite adequately." NOTE: By amuse himself, she means with another person.
Speaking of Izzie, what's the deal with all the coming and going? Is Katherine Heigl's schedule and her character's future something anyone is even clear on at this stage?
"As writers, we've had to be creative with having Katie for such a limited time," Shonda said of Heigl. "Maternity leave is maternity leave, and it's a choice I fully support."
Rhimes adds that she doesn't know when Heigl will be back full time. As you probably know, Alex hooks up with someone this week - at least the new promo suggests it!

Leon Aron, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, has over the past few years become known as an authority on Boris Yeltsin, a man he patently likes and has vigorously defended against his detractors, mostly on television programs such as The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer. Regularly identified by his TV hosts as author of a forthcoming biography of Yeltsin, Aron has now produced the long-promised volume, and the least one can say is that it does not disappoint: The author is as generous in the assessment of his subject, as charitable in "accentuating the positive," as one would expect from his television performances.
Aron's book, more than 900 pages long, fairly brims with data and reflections–copious quotations from Yeltsin's speeches and interviews; minute descriptions of the circumstances under which they were delivered; faithful reconstructions of Yeltsin's moods, varying from euphoria to dark depression; apposite quotations from other thinkers (Isaiah Berlin, for one); historical digressions and comparisons pondered by the author during the book's lengthy gestation. The intellectual fare produced by such cogitations–I might as well lay my cards on the table–is not very compelling. But it testifies to Aron's earnest investment in his subject.
Aron also devotes a fair number of pages to Yeltsin's childhood, youth and formative years as party first secretary in Sverdlovsk. Which is to the good, inasmuch as some of the traits that became so prominent during Yeltsin's presidential (cum, for a time, prime ministerial) tenure were already sprouting during his apprenticeship. Yeltsin's stamina, ebullience and industriousness were evident–as was his habit of running roughshod over subordinates who failed to meet his exacting demands, his scant concern for the niceties of democratic procedure and his uncanny ability to project a populist image combining scorn for the privileged higher-ups with concern for the man on the street. Notwithstanding Yeltsin's stern criticism of his superiors' bourgeois appetites, he earned their blessings and substantial popular support as well. Clearly, here was a man who knew how to get things done.
Aron is not merely an undiscriminating groupie. He takes note, for instance, of Yeltsin's fawning attitude to his onetime boss bubbling energy" he extolled. Yeltsin's speeches also bristled with mordant condemnations of the mistakes, ineptitude and grandiloquent claims made by party and government bureaucrats, some of them–this by implication–high-level colleagues. All this, however, was typical of Soviet rhetoric, with its pattern of extravagant praise for this or that achievement, immediately followed–with the mere introduction of the word "however" (odnako)–by a litany of criticisms and denunciations. (In time the "odnako syndrome" became a favorite subject of Soviet cartoonists.) In Yeltsin's case both the censure and acclaim tended to excess (as did much else in his behavior), but Aron offers little evidence for his observation that astringent remarks about bureaucrats should be interpreted as a presentiment of Yeltsin's future "revolutionary" challenge to the verkhushka (top leadership).

The Invisible Entente is a supernatural suspense series very much inspired by Agatha Christie's mysteries. Set in our world in the fictional city of New Haven, the characters of The Invisible Entente (so called by the man who first brought them together against their will) fight against their dark natures to protect their secret and the balance between the otherworld and the mundane.
If you like your magic with a touch of murder, your fantasy with a touch of mystery, then this series is for you.
And just in time to celebrate my birthday, you can grab Death at Peony House for just $0.99USD!
Sorceress and journalist Daphne Heartstone heads to Peony House, the city's abandoned hospital, in search of a headline, but what she discovers is a dead body and a clue to a hundred-and-fifty-year-old cold case.
Detective Hunter Avery, the man Daphne loved and lost, warns her away from the case, but the ghosts of Peony House have demanded her help, and her job is on the line if she doesn't have a story on her editor's desk for Saturday's edition.
Daphne has worked hard to escape her past of dark magic and blind ambition, but as she walks the balance between light and dark, she'll learn how many promises she's willing to break to protect the people she loves.
Pick up Death At Peony House Here
As a bonus, Song of Wishrock Harbor, book 2 of the series, is still on sale for $2.99USD for another few days, so take advantage of both sales while you can!

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
I'm not proud of this, but it's the truth. I mean I was really close to working for Ashley Madison just a few short years ago. Really close.
Had a chart drawn up of a bonus structure I would receive per media placement and everything. I was going to move to Canada. Couldn't reach the last round of agreement with Noel Biderman, the multimillionaire behind Avid Life Media, an entrepreneur my whip-smart ex-boyfriend used to call the "sketchy Canadian."
Which is why I got an email today from Noel, saying, "We are about to put up a pretty controversial billboard about Mitt Romney and we wanted to speak with a Politico journalist about it...Please let me know if there is someone worthwhile to connect with me."
I said XOJANE would take it. Thanks so much.
My dad was humiliated at the prospect that I might take the job. My dad even talked to his therapist about it. My dad's therapist was worried about me. Or judged me. Or something I didn't like. I don't like being judged. I suppose this may be one of the few times when it's pretty fair to do so, though. Be a little kind, though, maybe. I've been on a lot of ends of this spectrum.
My ex-husband, the man I was married to from when I was 25 to 30, cheated on me brutally. He had affairs. A few of them. I wouldn't be surprised if I get an email from him because of this. It was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. Soul-crushing crying hyperventilating can't even breathe hurts my body to think about right now humiliation. Throw up in the toilet again and again after realizing what was going on uncontrollable sickness. Sheer sadness.
And look at that. I just repeated the cycle. Doing the same thing to another woman. For that I am so incredibly sorry. Words mean nothing. But I am. And there it is.
Fascinatingly, I actually wouldn't exist if it weren't for an affair. Did you know that? My father is adopted. He was given up for adoption by Gloria. That's because Gloria was an alcoholic who died in her thirties and had an affair with a married man and had to give my dad, Jerry, up.
I call my three angles the "mistress trifecta." Aren't I a zeitgeisty home-wrecking asshole? Yes I am.
I have a long history with Ashley Madison. I've never used the site myself. Although that's surprising considering all the skeevy sites I have used (Match, eHarmony, Nerve, Craigslist). But when I had my affair with a married man in 2010 -- at the lowest point in my life before getting sober -- most of my distinction between right and wrong was long gone out the window.
All I thought about was: Does this feel right? And even more disgustingly, does this feel exciting?
I tried to take cues from the universe. But sometimes you are just convincing yourself of cues. Sometimes you need to operate within a moral framework not contingent upon whether the light flashes red or green or don't fuck the married guy.
I remember desperately pulling aside a male married friend of mine when it became clear that the TV executive who I thought genuinely liked me and my writing and my talents actually simply wanted to fuck me when his wife was out of town. I remember I pulled this male married confidante friend aside and asked him what he thought I should do because I was really impressed with this TV executive's wit and his brilliance and I don't know, it seemed like it was a sign from the universe. This was supposed to happen. No coincidences, right? I know that sounds stupid and self-serving, and you're right, it is. It's OK if you hate me. I know I don't need to give you permission for that. But I really sincerely feel awful about what I did.
When I asked my married male friend for advice about what I should do -- if I should have the affair -- when this situation presented itself to me, I asked him: You are a married man and I respect your opinion and should I do this? My friend said, "I don't know. I would." And I said, "Wait a minute, you don't cheat on your wife do you?" And he paused and that was all the answer I needed. I said, "Well OK, you do then. I'm a human bullshit detector, and a word of advice, when your wife asks you, don't pause like that."
After my affair, after my morality was blown wide open, irrefutably, and left gaping like a skin-flapping void, I co-wrote with Noel Biderman, "The Mind of the Cheating Man." No one bought the book. I think one of the women at Simon & Schuster forever views me differently after she got that proposal. She had really liked me as a writer before. I lost friends over that affair. I lost respect for myself over that affair.
And here's the thing. I wouldn't change what I did for a minute. Because I can't. All I can do is accept it, and move on to the next right action from that acceptance. Part of my acceptance is accepting the women who cheated with my ex. Acceptance and empathy.
Please, understand. I'm not telling you that you should have an affair. I'm not telling you what I did was right. No. I think having an affair is probably one of the biggest mistakes a person can make unless they are in an actual open marriage (versus the line of "open marriage" that so many guys especially in LA use). But I don't regret what I did because I don't believe in regrets. I did it and my insides are permanently fucked up because of it, and that's what that is. The tumor exists. It is inside of me. And I'm a human being, and all I can do is forgive myself because of the awful choice that I made. There is some part of me that is glad the TV executive's wife found out so she could actually work on her marriage and be given a fighting chance and understand who and what she was dealing with. As a woman who was cheated on, I was glad I knew. But having an affair is not a choice I would make again. Ever.
I will tell you that I developed a lot more empathy for my ex-husband when I had the affair. And for the women who did it. Who do this on the regular. I understood how incredibly exciting and what a mind-trip it is (yes someone's self-esteem can be that low that it's exciting to know someone could potentially throw it all away –- for you!) and the human nature imperative to be drawn Garden of Eden apple-style to want to do something so wrong and so morally reprehensible. It kind of makes me feel a sick excitement even now -- the kind where you might throw up and cry at the same time but are also vaguely innervated, heart palpitating, wanting to rid yourself of excess energy -- just thinking about it. But I've done a little work on myself now so I know healthier ways to deal with that uncomfortable energy and those feelings rather than cruise Craigslist looking for "snow bunnies" or "rape fantasies" or whatever other sad, kill-yourself-woundfucky-ripe-material is floating out there currently.
Noel Biderman is a very smart guy. I first contacted him when I pitched Mark Cronin of 51 Minds about doing a show on mistresses. That show then morphed many, many times over the years and now it exists as a pilot that is the exact opposite, giving voice to people who have been cheated upon. As Oxygen told us at one point in the show's conception and development (they ultimately passed), when the off-site TV group first saw another show that was in development about mistresses and it was passed upon, the test-group women who viewed it were "murderously angry."
Murderously angry. I understand why. There is nothing quite like the punch in the stomach of cheating. It's not just the preciousness of the intimacy that you've shared is now blown open to be a lie. It's the lies behind the lie.
It's the humiliation that someone else knows something that you don't know. One of the women that my ex-husband cheated on me with was trying to court me as her best friend at the same time, always sending me nice emails every day and complimenting me on the blog that I was writing at the time. I thought she really liked me. It hurt my feelings. It broke my heart. In a lot of different ways.
I had someone tell me once that women sometimes try to destroy the sacredness of sex and intimacy so that the pain that we may have experienced from it no longer hurts us. Like, if we can somehow obliterate whatever vulnerability we have toward the act, then all of the feelings that we carry along, that fill ourselves up until we choke, will perhaps somehow be changed. The meaning will then be different and we'll regain power and control -- through total self-annihilation.
I don't know if that's true for me. I certainly think that's partly a motivation behind what I did. I think that when my married male friend revealed to me, as a beacon of marital perfection, that even he was cheating on his wife, I didn't see the point in anything anymore. I already didn't see the point, but it was the sign at the moment I was looking for.
If I were to offer any advice that I learned from my mistress trifecta, it would be to have empathy. Have empathy for your restless husband (or wife) whose pride and ego is so wrapped up in wanting the thrill of conquest that changes in marriage. Have empathy for the "other women" (or men) who probably hate themselves more than you will ever know. Have empathy for yourself as you make the choices you do.
And try to make good ones. It's all you can do.

With eight of 12 members of Baton Rouge's Metro Council returning to office, several of those members might want to be chairman of the council.
At the council's first meeting today, after taking the oath of office, the members will likely look to elect a mayor pro-tem to replace Mike Walker, who ran unsuccessfully for mayor-president in November.
We hope that the new council seeks a leader who will try to defuse what we have seen as sometimes needless confrontations between the mayor's office and the council, and often enough among council members themselves.
Having been re-elected with 60 percent of the vote over Walker and two other candidates, Mayor-President Kip Holden is in a strong position to lead during this third four-year term. But leaders need colleagues, not rubber stamps, and we hope that the council and its new leader will seek to strike that healthy balance.
Holden has pledged to keep council members better informed about issues. For their part, we hope council members reach out to the administration.
In selecting a pro-tem, the council should look for someone who is independent, but not spoiling for a fight with the mayor.
A member of the council is a part-timer, with a real-life profession and a pile of pre-meeting reading that some members do more diligently than others — often making meetings more difficult for everyone.
Throw in a sometimes-combustible temper of the mayor, and council meetings in the past couple of years have seemed like the U.S. Congress on one of its bad days.
Of course we don't expect the mayor and members of the Metro Council to agree on everything. Representative government is supposed to accommodate — and even encourage — a wide range of views. But we think people in Baton Rouge expect elected officials to find common ground and compromise in a spirit of tolerance and civility.

August 25, 2014 10:15 ET
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 25, 2014) - UK2 Group, a global group of web hosting brands, deployed Noction's Intelligent Routing Platform (IRP) to obtain the best performance from their Internet providers, while maintaining bandwidth commitments established with them.
Since 1998, UK2 Group provides domain name registration and web hosting services to small, medium and large enterprise customers. Headquartered in London, the company runs multiple datacenters worldwide, empowering over a million customers all around the world. Delivering a broad range of hosting services, UK2 Group is challenged to ensure fast and reliable connectivity to all destinations on the Internet. To meet such requirements, UK2 Group operates a fully redundant network infrastructure with links to multiple Tier-1 and Tier-2 Internet providers. The company is running a global network with very heavy bandwidth usage, pushing more than 200 Gbps in traffic through providers with which UK2 Group has established multiple commits. Balancing these commits was becoming increasingly difficult resulting in a staff burden.
Noction IRP was deployed as a solution to automate traffic rerouting and to ensure traffic is always directed through the best performing link. "Within 90 minutes of putting the platform into intrusive mode, we could see that all commits leveled out while IRP also routed traffic around a lot of problematic routes" said James Innes -- Director of Tech Ops at UK2 Group. "To date it has probably been one of the best things that has ever happened to our network team: ticket volumes have gone down, support efforts have gone down regarding anything to do with routing, packet loss or latency and for the first time with no intervention from us, we were actually within our commits with all providers"
From a network visibility perspective, Noction IRP provides UK2 Group insights on provider performance in real-time. The company uses this information while negotiating bandwidth cost and commitment sizes with providers. "We put this system in a month before we were due to re-negotiate commits with our current transit providers. The statistics provided by IRP gave us great bargaining power and helped us considerably reduce our commit cost with a provider that did not perform to an acceptable level", further mentioned James.
The Intelligent Routing Platform was designed to overcome the shortcomings of the underlying Internet's routing protocol -- BGP. The Border Gateway Protocol selects the shortest path available to reach an end user, which is commonly considered to be the best possible route for the traffic to flow through. However, BGP often routes traffic through congested paths requiring constant manual control from network engineers. This kind of manual route tuning is very error-prone and exposes the network to a high risk of misconfiguration.
With Noction IRP, UK2 Group is now able to automatically execute adjustments in routing when Internet "events" or traffic congestion cause performance to exceed thresholds pre-defined by platform administrators. "I was really surprised of how many routes with packet loss are out there, even with big providers. There were some routes from a very significant AS suffering 100% packet loss that Noction picked up and moved them over to another provider dropping the loss to 0%. The statistics that we've seen are phenomenal", stated James.

Christmas gifts
This year, I'm sewing many of my Christmas gifts for relatives and friends. This bag is for my mom and has a purse organizer inside. Super easy to make and I love the trim. Saved a piece for another bag because as soon as I make one, I want one for myself.

We were among the early customers at Valentino's (which everyone called Val's), see Valentino's History, a pizza restaurant then located only at 35th and Holdredge, Lincoln, Nebraska.
The pizzas were incomparable and we have never eaten a better pizza since.
Val's has now expanded to nearly 40 pizza restaurants in 6 U.S. States.
Good food just creates its own word of mouth advertising.

A huge archive of rediscovered Dr Who tapes, having been lovingly restored, are soon to be re-lost, 'more thoroughly' according to a BBC spokesman.
Head of BBC Archive Dispersal Mike Smykkers told a press conference: 'It is amazing that these episodes dating back to the mid-sixties have come to light after so long. But having restored them at great expense, we have decided to lose them more effectively this time, because they are awful.'
'Flimsy sets, silly costumes, non-scary monsters, dreadful acting, uninspiring plots – they may have been revolutionary in their time, but now they're only good for sixty-something nutters with original duffel bags containing Dairylea sandwiches and Tizer,' he added, 'not our digitally targeted audience of media-savvy under 12's.'
The current Who production 'hub' is based in a retro-chic, brand new disused warehouse in a secret location in Swansea SA18 4TJ. There, teams of creative interns are developing a new Who. The new Doctor could be female, black, disabled, gay, obese or – according to an insider – 'all three'. The old Who – exemplified in these lost tapes – doesn't fit the vision, if only because he or she is not in colour.
BBC Data Divestor Leader Melanie Smythers explained: 'Back in the early eighties we did our level best to lose these tapes as vigorously as possible. We thought we had put them totally 'beyond use', alongside rare footage of yet-to-be arrested celebrities caught in flagrante, not including Sue Lawley.
Now, though, without our knowledge, the BBC Archive Detection Unit, under the command of Brigadier Lethargy Moustache, appears to have re-discovered the tapes, and against the wishes of the Archive Dispersal Department, are lobbying the Transmission Broadcast Directorate to actually put them on TV. This would be an awful episode in the history of BBC TV. In fact it would be fifteen awful episodes, excluding the Christmas Special, which we are all praying remains lost, because of what the Daleks do at the end.
BBC Commander of Programme De-Storage Micky Smith explained: 'This time the tape loss will be much better thought out. We will make digital copies of the tapes and lose them in cyber-space, as a back up. And we'll mislay the analogue tapes on a yet to be decided continent, or even under the sea in a guaranteed not-waterproof container.'
Asked why the BBC doesn't simply destroy the tapes, Commander Smith explained 'that would require the agreement of the BBC Sustainable Recycling Committee, who were biodegraded for mulching in a new Blue Peter Rooftop Garden on the top of the New Broadcasting House, as part of cutbacks. The resulting vegetables will have educational value and trim staff catering costs.'
