Breckenridge, Colorado (Gerry Wingenbach)
It's here. We're on. Warren Miller's latest ski flick is history. It's time to live your own ski and riding movie.
Thanksgiving is approaching, and prime options for turkey with heaps of snowy trimmings appear to be the usual suspects: Colorado, Utah, British Columbia, and Alberta. Sunday River, Killington, and other major-league Eastern resorts will pull it off, too. They almost always do.
The first week in November saw the US Alpine ski team leave the glaciers of Austria for the slopes of Vail and Copper Mountain. Families are returning to Keystone. The Austrian ski team is at Sun Peaks in British Columbia. Lake Louise opened Nov. 5, with World Cup races just weeks away.
Utah's Solitude, Brighton, Alta, and Snowbird are cranking up the lifts, and by Thanksgiving almost all the state's top-shelf resorts should be running on close to all cylinders. Park City Mountain Resort (the best-run ski resort in America; they're in the ski business, not the real estate business) is tweaking operations for a Nov. 20 opening. (I boot skied a black-diamond run in a foot of powder up there the third week of October.) The Canyons opens about the same time with some major improvements. Deer Valley is holding off until early December, ensuring corduroy for the privileged seniors who inhabit the place and can't handle free-spirited snowboarders. (Still no riding allowed up there.)
Aspen and Telluride will be running by Turkey Day. And in the heart of Colorado, Breckenridge opened Nov. 12 with nothing but blue skies and powder. Last season, more skiers and boarders (1.6 million) visited Breckenridge than any other resort in the US. What's that about?
So let's start the season at Breckenridge.
The night before opening day it dumped six inches. Seventeen inches fell earlier in the week. Only a tenth of the mountain was open (the Colorado Super Chair at the base of Peak 8 doing the heavy lifting), but it's a big, big mountain.
Opening day began as a pink glow in the east, while down at Pup's Glide Shop, a one-room, purple-colored miner's shack just off Main St., my buddy Rick "Pup" Asher was waxing skis. The shop and Pup are Breckenridge institutions. Locals clang their bicycle bells or honk their horns when they ride by.
Pup skis 100-plus days a year with a posse of hard-core locals. And if you can keep up, you're welcome to join him. Last year, he gave up ski days to tune equipment for the awesome US team at the 2010 Winter Paralympics in Vancouver.
"Because of the altitude, we get good, consistent snow from the get-go," Pup said. (Breck tops out at 13,000 feet.) "It doesn't rain or get slushy up there, not even in spring. And when the Breckenridge wind blows, it picks up the snow and dumps it again."
Let's check it out, Pup. But first, we'll take a spin through town.
Breckenridge is perhaps the best-preserved, 1860s-vintage Victorian jewel in the West. The oldest continuously occupied mining town in Colorado. At one time, it had the only post office between Denver and Salt Lake City. Today, you'll find 249 historic structures and 70-plus restaurants and bars. (Locals hang at Fatty's Pizzaria.) It's both a pretty town and a rowdy town; the real thing, including beds for more than 20,000 guests.
Up on the mountain, actually four linked mountains, you'll find 29 lifts (including North America's highest) accessing 155 trails and seemingly endless in-bounds, backcountry-like terrain. More than 700 acres are above tree line (more than Vail), and there's plenty of glade skiing.
"We're a great family resort," Pup said. (It's true, but it sounds like he works for the chamber of commerce. I know he spends most of his time on the white chutes off Imperial Express, or traversing and hiking to the classic steeps off Peak 7.)
Twenty-six years ago, Breckenridge was the first Colorado resort to allow snowboarders and today their parks and pipes are known around the world. The biggest event this year might be the Winter Dew Tour (Dec. 16 – 19), a carnival featuring the best riders in the world and an outpouring of entertainment.
Back here on opening day, the buzz is mostly about the great skiing. "Best opening in ten years," said Steve Harris, the manger of the mountaintop Vista Haus.
But even more striking than the conditions is the rejuvenation of Peak 8 base area with new buildings called Ski Hill Place and the Ski Hill Grill, where they served a free, French toast breakfast.
One Ski Hill Place is a luxurious hotel and condo complex where units sell for as much as $2.6 million under the tagline "Breckenridge Like Never Before."
After skiing the day away, I attended the grand opening gala, dining on appetizers that I have no idea how to spell. Every realtor hit on me. You'd think those got-rich-quick brokers could sniff out who has money and who doesn't. Their major selling point was the historic nature of Breckenridge and the fine character of the locals. Guys like Pup, I guess. Oddly, they never mentioned the mountain in a context other than a scenic backdrop.
Looking around the palatial digs and beautiful people, I was thinking I've never seen so much cleavage stuffed into little black dresses at the base of a chairlift. I also couldn't help but notice that Pup wasn't invited.
But now it's Day 2. The avalanche-control bombs are booming and Pup and I are heading up the mountain, the cleavages of the four Breckenridge peaks teasing us higher. A hawk circling without the quiver of a wing.
And now...The Mountain Buzz:
The Canyons opened another 400 acres and 10 trails; also improved access to the mountain, including North America's first-ever lift with heated seats.
Bridger Bowl, the greatest little ski area in Montana, has a new chairlift.
Skiing the Alps, especially Switzerland, is the dream of every winter lover. The declining euro and Swiss franc make it even more affordable. Here's a cool address at a hot resort: Tschuggen Grand Hotel at Arosa above the medieval city of Chur.
Whitewater Ski Resort in BC has a new chair opening 700 acres on the Backside area.
Vail replaced Chair 5, and there's a new app called EpiMix that tracks your vertical at all Vail resorts.
Park City Mountain Resort's kid's ski school with a maximum of five in the class. They've added three new Adventure Alleys through the trees.

Happy Friday everyone! For the people of South Korea it's the start of an extra special and long weekend as today is one of the biggest events and major public holidays of the year: 'Buddha's Birthday' or Seokgatansinil. Buddhism is one of the major religions in South Korea and today celebrates the birth of Buddha Gautama. This is considered to be a very important day in South Korea and East Asia, so there's a lot of celebrating and fun to be had! The precise birth date of Buddha is unknown, in most areas of East Asia Buddha's birthday is celebrated on the eighth day of the fourth month in the Lunisolar calendar which means today, the 17th May 2013. Today is classed as a public holiday so many business and schools close up and get to start their weekend early!
This holiday is considered to be one of the biggest Buddhist holidays in South Korea and festivities normally last a whole week. The 17th is the official day but many people often start preparations early. For the past seven days, many temples and streets have been decorated with lanterns, creating a sea of colour and illumination throughout the country; South Korea must be absolutely breathtaking at the moment. Temples are often decorated in lotus shaped lanterns for the whole month before Buddha's birthday, adding to the splendour. On the day of Buddha's birth each year, many temples give out free food and tea for visitors, so if you're in South Korea today, score! One very beautiful temple, the Bongmamsa Temple, opens its doors to visitors on this day each year alone, a very rare treat. Our fellow WKB blogger Johanne Miller took a trip there and called it the most beautiful and peaceful temple she's ever visited in South Korea, make sure you check out her blog post here!
In Seoul on May 11th, there was a huge gala lantern parade which stretched for miles to get the celebrations started. Seoul's annual celebrations are one of the biggest Buddha's birthday celebrations throughout Asia, and judging from the photos alone, it looks epic and spectacular. British Newspaper Daily Mail has also taken notice of the wonderful efforts of South Korea with an article displaying just how elaborate and vibrant the Seoul parade can get, make sure you check out the article here. You might have seen London celebrating Buddha's birthday too at Leicester Square last weekend with fun activities and displays, but it was no where near as impressive as the efforts of East Asia.
Traditional foods eaten for this holiday consist of sanchae bibimbap (산채비빔밥) – traditional bibimbap with mountain vegetables, jjintteok (찐떡) – bubble-shaped rice cakes, hwajeon (화전) – round rice cakes with flowers on top, eochae (어채) – a fish dish, eomandu (어만두) – a kind of fish dumpling with meat and vegetables inside, and minariganghoe (미나리강회) which is a raw fish and parsley dish. If you fancy cooking any of these dishes we've searched the internet and gathered some recipes for you here: Sanchae bibimbap, hwajeon, eochae, eomandu. Finding recipes for jjintteok and minariganghoe proved a little tricky, but there should be enough dishes for you to fully get into the spirit of celebration for Buddha's birthday South Korean style!
Another fun and creative way to join in with the festivities is to try making your own lanterns. This site has some great tips on how to make your own, though some of the designs look a bit beyond us… we can barely make paper planes! Traditionally for Buddha's birthday, each member of a family will have a lantern and these lanterns are then lit on the evening of Buddha's birthday, brightening up the whole of South Korea!
We hope that we'll get the chance to see these bright and beautiful celebrations in person one day, it sounds absolutely magical!
To everyone celebrating this holiday, have a fun and fantastic weekend! :)

Today is Thanksgiving, and my Thanksgiving break has maybe been a little more dramatic than I would like. Regardless of whatever else is happening though, there are a few things that for which I will always be thankful.
- A relationship with God. This is what has led me to be thankful for everything else in my life.
- The unconditional love of my fiancee and best friend Ben King. No matter what, he's rooting for me, picking me up when I fall down, talking me through my ups and downs, pushing me a little farther, holding me close when I need comfort, and giving me a new adventure each day.
- The true friendship I enjoy with three very special ladies: Jane Martyn, Anya Abashian, and Rebecca McDaniel. These three women are each special to me in different ways but they see me and understand me for who I am, even when I'm being a brat.
- The fellowship I enjoy with Howard and Donya McLeod and their children Katie and Max. They have welcomed me with open arms and watched me transform during my time in Chapel Hill. Their family means more to me than they will ever know.
- The always cuddling, purring, grooming, snuggling love of my fur children: Pippa and Louis. Their love is so simple but so heartwarming. They are my own little family.
- Finally, with the prospect of being repetitious, I a
m so so so thankful that God has provided for me in every way.
Below are some pictures of those for which I'm thankful.

Bath Salts Symptoms
Bath salts are a type of designer drug that have become increasingly popular over the last decade, despite the fact that the bath salts symptoms can be quite dangerous. This is because they contain synthetic chemicals that make the drug extremely harmful.
To make matters worse, bath salts are being sold and disguised as traditional cosmetic bath salts, but are not related to the product and have no use as a bath-time aid. The drug usually comes in a powder or crystalline form that resembles traditional bath salts and may even be packaged in a similar manner with a warning label that tells users not to consume it. (National Institute on Drug Abuse)
They are a stimulant drug, and the bath salts symptoms use mimic the effects of cocaine, Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD), ecstasy, and other drugs. Why? Because they contain a synthetic chemical similar to cathinone, which is an amphetamine-like substance. Bath salts are a dangerous health concern and have been the cause of increased drug-related emergency room visits since 2010. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
The drug is also known by a variety of slang names, which are typically the names that it is sold as. A few of the names usually associated with bath salts are:
- Ivory Wave
- Scarface
- Vanilla Sky
- Mad Cow
- Cloud Nine
- Bloom
- Plant food
- White Lightning
- Lunar Wave
Recognized Bath Salts Symptoms
Many of the active ingredients have been banned by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and the drug is mostly considered illegal in the United States. However, that has not stopped it from increasing in popularity, and its use has become more common – especially among teenagers and twenty-somethings – over the last decade.
Bath Salt Symptoms of use can include:
- Feeling euphoric or high
- Sexual stimulation
- Increased focus
- Extreme energy levels
- Let down or crash after use
- Paranoia
- Dizziness
- Delusion
Bath salts have also been known to have bizarre symptoms on rare occasions, many of which have been in the news lately. Reports have surfaced of people high on bath salts removing their clothing in public and displaying aggressive behaviors such as biting and cutting themselves.Read more: Bath Salts
Are Bath Salts Addictive?
As mentioned before, bath salts contain active ingredients that are similar to those in other stimulant drugs. Therefore, they are considered to be a highly addictive substance. According to a study conducted on mice and published in the Journal for Behavioral Brain Research, bath salts can be as addictive as cocaine. (Live Science)
Bath salts are not necessarily a new drug, but they have become more popular recently, are extremely addictive, and can have harmful side effects. Knowing and understanding the bath salts symptoms of use is the first step toward identifying and getting treatment for someone addicted to the drug.

The simplest way to dry hair is to take a soft, absorbent towel and mop up as much water as possible, leaving the sunshine to do the rest.
The hardest (and most harmful) way is to put rollers into wet hair and then go to sleep. But the most effective way to dry your hair (since sunshine doesn't come to order) is to use a hair-dryer and blow dry hair into shape. This also ensures a good hairstyle after shampooing.
The combination of a hot and regular air flow ensures hair dries in the quickest possible time. As long as you don't hold the dryer in a constant position too close to your hair, blow drying won't hurt hair.
Take a look at the heat settings on your dryer. Most have two and sometimes even more temperature settings so you can have a hot or cool air flow. This is to allow you to first dry your hair using the hot air flow. You can't style wet hair but you can style almost-dry hair, so the hot air prepares the hair for styling.
After blotting excess water from your hair with a towel, hold the dryer at least 20cm (about 8 inches) from your hair and run your fingers through it or comb it with a wide-toothed comb while you move the dryer up and down the hair from scalp to ends.
Then switch to a lower heat setting and use a styling brush to hold hair in shape while you complete the drying. Simply brush down the length of the hair, one section at a time, and keep the dryer trained on that section. Wind hair firmly round the brush for curves, and hold in place while moving the dryer slowly down the hair.
Few dryers overheat so you don't have many worries on that score. Do remember to keep hot air off your scalp; it can cause dryness and flaking. Training hot air on one spot without moving it, and keeping it too close to the hair at the same time, can also cause dryness and brittle hair.
Watch your hairdresser the next time you have your hair blown dry professionally – you will learn a lot.
Tips for home drying
- Always section the hair, pinning back wet hair not being dried at the time.
- Always make sure the air flow follows the line of your hair in a downward direction, from scalp to hair end (forget this and you'll find your head surrounded by flyaway hairs!).
- Roll hair round your styling brush but don't pull it taut – this could break, or at any rate, stretch the hair.
- Pick a dryer that directs air from a large aperture for maximum drying power.
- When your hair is dry, put a tiny amount of hair finishing cream onto the tips of your fingers and stroke this over the very ends of your hair. It will lend a shine and a protective coat to vulnerable hair ends.
How to keep a curl in your hair
Use your blow dryer for shaping smooth, loose curls without frizz. When hair is almost dry and ready to be styled, take a round brush (large for big floppy waves, small for soft springy curls) and wind sections of hair around the brush while the hot air from your dryer sets the curl.
Allow hair to cool on the brush before gently unwinding it and moving on to another section.
When doing the hair on the crown, lift sections high off your head while drying them, and pay attention to the base of each section. This will give hair the most bounce after blow drying.
Finally, for really lasting curls, you can use a setting lotion before blow drying. Wet your comb with setting lotion and run it through each section of hair before you blow dry.
How to get a curl out of your hair
A dryer with a brush attachment is best. This way you have one hand free to hold your hair straight out from your head, while the other hand holds the dryer.
Run the dryer all over the head to first remove as much excess water as possible. Then section the hair and dry it from the nape of the neck up to the crown, working to the sides and finally the front. Always keep hair held firmly straight out from your head, but don't drag or pull on it as you dry.
Finish your blow drying with a very light misting of hairspray that holds your hair but allows it to feel natural (most new hair sprays brush out instead of forming a stiff layer on hair). Avoid heavily scented sprays that will clash with the perfume you wear.
You will realize the importance of a really good cut, because it makes hair so much easier to handle successfully at home.

Liberty University
RE: Liberty University
I'm familiar. I went to high school in Richmond, and some of the kids I knew went to Liberty. It seemed to make them into pod people, but not as poddy as the ones who went to Bob Jones U. Lots of kids who went to my church went to Bob Jones.
Is moving to a different area an option for you?
RE: Liberty University
Ah Liberty; I considered applying for a job there, but then realized I could never teach there given the people on staff and the climate. I once dated a girl who went to the nearby Sweet Briar College, which she told me Liberty's students often called "The Whores on the Hill", her ex from Liberty apparently beat her for not being "submissive". Really pissed me off to hear about that.
Sorry to hear you feel alone there.

If you name your city after extralegal execution mobs, you're not allowed to name anything ever again. Your naming privileges are revoked.
"Every faction in Africa calls themselves by these noble names - Liberation this, Patriotic that, Democratic Republic of something-or-other... I guess they can't own up to what they usually are: the Federation of Worse Oppressors Than the Last Bunch of Oppressors. Often, the most barbaric atrocities occur when both combatants proclaim themselves Freedom Fighters. " - Yuri Orlov (Nicholas Cage), Lord of War
This quote comes to mind every time I see 'freedom' or 'liberty' attached to some far-right neoconservative hate group masquerading as a non-profit, a political action committee, or an institute of higher learning.

Though to be fair, the act of lynching is named after a citizen in the same state, named Lynch. So it's an easy thing to extrapolate based on the name.
(Also, since this is a topic started by a Liberty student who feels outcast as a nonbeliever, I'd like to recommend a book by Kevin Roose, called The Unlikely Disciple: A Sinner's Semester at America's Holiest University. It's about Roose, a liberal non-practicing Quaker's time at Liberty, the people he met, and just how non-uptight it can be if you find the right folks. Truly an interesting read as a former Baptist, and from what others tell me, people of different faith backgrounds as well. It also hits interesting tidbits, like some of Philadelphia's largest gay nightclubs are owned by a Liberty grad.)
Need to think of a witty signature.
RE: Liberty University
The 1939 WPA Guide to Tennessee asserts that the city was named after an early resident named Tom Lynch; (or a William Lynch?)
However, a more recently credited claim is made in the Spring 1972 issue of the Tennessee Historical Quarterly, which states the city was named after a Judge Charles Lynch, who presided over a vigilante committee that met in the city sometime after the War of 1812.
In his 2003 book The Many Faces of Judge Lynch; Extralegal Violence and Punishment in America, Christopher Waldrep traced the use and meaning of the word lynching from the colonial period to the present. He explained how lynching as a form of extralegal punishment sanctioned by the community did not alter over time but that the meaning of the word changed drastically as Americans dealt with race relations.
—Looks like one of those naming issues lost in the sands of time?
I'm a creationist... I believe that man created God.
RE: Liberty University
From Liberty University's current prospectus:
Liberty University has been training Champions for Christ since 1971, producing graduates with the values, knowledge, and skills required to impact the world. The secret to its success lies in a solid commitment to biblical truth...
Liberty has built a world-class university that offers excellent academics, NCAA Division I athletics, an exciting social atmosphere, and an environment that encourages spiritual growth...
Liberty's 6,800-acre campus is undergoing an extensive $400 million dollar rebuilding, including the construction of the Jerry Falwell Library, the first building to bear the name of the university's founder, Dr. Jerry Falwell...
Also included in the expansion is a cathedral-style prayer chapel...
The Liberty campus also houses the Creation Hall Museum (students can get a firsthand look at fossils and "some of the evidences for Biblical Creation"), the Jerry Falwell Museum (a "look into the life" of Jerry Falwell), and the Liberty Biblical Museum (a unique collection of authentic, biblical-era artifacts which gives students access to a realistic touchpoint with the "facts" of the biblical faith).
I was also somewhat bemused to read some of the following nonsense in Liberty's student newspaper:
Every American student faces the reality that sacrifices must be made in order to maintain a good, or even passing, grade in college. For many Christian students, the first sacrifices to be made are usually regular church attendance, alone time with God or time spent at Bible study... skipping one Sunday, after all, is not that bad. However, as the skips continue to pile up, the God who loves and created each and every stressed-out college student is soon replaced by the very vengeful god of education... according to The Gospel Coalition, the idol of education is subtle yet dangerous to students... when education becomes the most important thing in Christians' lives, it becomes a dangerous idol... college students often slip into the sin of putting their grades above God.
—Oh! The shock! The horror! How will those poor students survive without an absolute belief in a supernatural entity?
I'm a creationist... I believe that man created God.

Olympic gold medalist Kaitlyn Farrington has accepted her forced retirement from the snowboard halfpipe, announced last week. Now she's dealing with the second part of the unexpected news.
"The hardest part is just figuring out what's next," Farrington told the Statesman on Monday.
Farrington hopes to remain part of the snowboarding industry. She can't perform any aerial tricks, which rules out competing in events such as the halfpipe or slopestyle. She could race but isn't interested in that type of snowboarding.
For now, she plans to do some "adventure snowboarding" and try some non-competitive roles at snowboard events. She'll hand out medals at the X Games on Saturday and do some announcing or interviewing later this winter.
Farrington, 25, was diagnosed with congenital cervical stenosis (narrowing of the spine) in November - nine months after she won gold in Sochi. She grew up in Bellevue and lives in Salt Lake City.
The diagnosis was confirmed by three more doctors before she made the public announcement Thursday. It's a condition she's had since birth without her knowledge.
"The last few days have been crazy, but it's been really nice because I'd been holding this in for so long," Farrington said. "It's finally out there. I've gotten a lot of love and a lot of positive vibes. It's been really nice to know there's a lot of support still out there for me, and I know a lot of people are still behind me, whatever I do next."
Here are some other highlights from our conversation with Farrington, who will be in Sun Valley next week for a Rainforest Action Network event.
Q: Will it be difficult to watch the X Games this week?
A: I think it's going to be a really emotional X Games, going to see all of my friends I've competed with for so many years. It will be crazy not competing and knowing I'll never compete again.
Q: How tight was the group you talked to about your condition?
A: I kept it pretty close. I only told basically my parents when I first found out. ... It was something totally unexpected. I didn't really know what to expect because I didn't really know anything about stenosis. It was just too hard. It was too hard to explain to people what I had.
Q: What was your reaction to the diagnosis?
A: The first doctor I went and saw told me the worst possible news ever. I sent him away, out of the office, bawling. I pretty much told him to (take off). I never went and saw him again. I wasn't ready to hear what he told me at that time. I've talked to him since and said: 'Sorry. I wasn't ready.'
Q: When did the diagnosis click for you?
A: (U.S. Snowboard team physician Tom Hackett) is a doctor I worked with for years. I know him really well. I thought, 'Wow, he wouldn't be lying to me.' He put screws through my wrist (in the past), made everything possible for me to be on the mountain. I knew when he said it, it was a more serious thing. I was getting a lot of requests for this January, before X Games. It was time to just tell people because I was lying to everybody for the past two months. It was getting hard because it was making me believe I was going to be back competing again.
Q: Had you ever had an MRI on your back or neck before?
A: I never had X-rays or an MRI on my back or neck, so nobody would have seen this before.
Q: What do you think the future holds for you?
A: I think my future will be in powder, riding - adventure snowboarding, I call it. A lot more touring, just trying to ride some powder. Doctors say I can't put myself in a position where I could tomahawk down a mountain 20 times. I'm just figuring out how far my limit is. No jumps or cliffs in the backcountry, but I can still make turns - that's what's important. ... All of my sponsors have been so supportive. It wasn't like somebody just dropped me because of the condition I have. They're waiting to see what I can do.
Q: It seems like TV work would be a natural for you.
A: Yeah, that's what I'm kind of going for. I'd love to get involved in TV. I don't want to leave this sport. That's why I'm still trying to figure out how far I can take snowboarding. That would be something to keep me around my friends. I've got a pretty bubbly personality. I think TV could be a good thing for me.
Q: How is your health?
A: In a couple months I go get another MRI on my neck to make sure things are healing OK because there was talk of a surgery maybe. I don't have any pain. I've just been snowboarding. I text my doctors: 'Can I go bungee-jumping? Can I skydive? Can I go rock climbing or bouldering?' Those are questions that are important for me to ask. ... I get a little bit sore after a couple days of riding and my back gets tight. I have no pain, no problems. That's the hardest part, I think - I don't feel anything different but I know I have to be careful.
Q: You went snowboarding the day after the accident in Austria?
A: Yes. I woke up the next day and it was a powder day. I thought, 'Wow, I'm not that sore.' I thought I wasn't going to be able to get out of bed.
Q: The lack of feeling in your shoulders is from the crash in Austria?
A: Yes. From losing all feeling throughout my body. It's a sign of stenosis. When I got up, I had this really, really gnarly burning sensation in my shoulders - both of them. ... My shoulders feel like my hand does. I've had so many surgeries on my wrist that I just have this weird numbness.
Q: Will your shoulders improve?
A: They hope it will go away. It's been months now. ... I'm used to it.
Q: Given what has happened since, how much does that gold medal mean to you?
A: It's just one of those things - 'Well, Kaitlyn, at least you went out on top.' It's just crazy. It's something I dreamed of my whole life - every child's dream, go to the Olympics and win an Olympic gold medal. Mine became reality. And all in one year I had it stripped away from me, pretty much. Everything changed. I went from the beginning of the year becoming an Olympic gold medalist to the end of the year having to retire. It's been such a wild year. I'm just kind of baffled. I don't know what to think and I don't know what's going to come next because everything changed so fast.

PHOENIX – Arizona corrections officials say a female guard was sexually assaulted by a male inmate last month in the second such attack on a state prison employee in the last 18 months.
The April 13 attack at the state prison complex in Yuma was only revealed by the Department of Corrections late Friday after inquiries by The Associated Press. Corrections spokesman Andrew Wilder said the agency was focused on investigating the assault.
The assault follows the January 2014 rape of a female teacher at another prison that brought scrutiny of Arizona's procedures for safeguarding prison workers.
The department says the latest attack occurred in a housing unit office while the corrections officer was meeting with inmate Fernandes Masters. The 31-year-old inmate is serving a life sentence for first-degree murder.

Mr. Jarell brought out the fear that many have, "our attention span is becoming that of a fruit fly..." and while that my be true, it simply reflects the changes in the way we take in information.
Its not necessarily a degradation in our culture, simply a change in the way we take in and utilize information. Ms Tod did mention that Graphic novels were starting to see a fair amount of acceptance with in the larger community and that G.Ns. were becoming a sort of bridge between picture books for younger children to works of Prose as they grew older.
Ms Matthews saw them as a Hybrid of the two. picture books and prose, adding that as a Librarian, she hoped to see there eventual acceptance in to what is considered to be worthy literature. Giving the example of BONE as an example of what is evolving as the Graphic novel. As a mater of fact the whole panel seemed to site bone as the first true, worthy of notice example of a good graphic novel, setting the mark for what might come later.
I am so out of it. I keep being reminded of just how far behind I am in my knowledge of the currant literary market. I Had No Idea that Manga was read right to left. The panel brought out how popular it has become, but felt that Manga was somewhat culturally biased. I reflects it's Japanese origins so distinctly, that they felt it was a phenomenon, a bobble the will soon burst because of this limiting nature of Manga. They, however, did not see the rise of the graphic novel as a phenomenon, as a bobble the will burst. They saw it rather as an evolution of what is considered literature, and that much still lies ahead for what this genre has to offer. Getting me all excited. I have found direction in the structure of Ouwangalaymah! and I hope to work to that end.

Clowning Drag at the RVT!
Went to see Dickie Beau's one man show at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. Walking into the mysterious RVT unexpected what I will see, I am greeted by... a clown? a woman? a man?...Dickie Beau in white face drag on top of a steel ladder in the middle of the stage.
I quickly sit down by the bar daring not to buy a drink until the safety of the interval in this intimate venue setting.
Still not too sure what was going to take place, I watched the show with interest and started to realise how clever this performance is. Dickie Beau crosses discplinines; at times clowning into mime into drag comedy, which I was surprised actually worked. Challenging perceptions of drag lipsynch he cleverly makes bold choices of when to mime in synch and when not to, often opening up further questions about the work he is doing. Using visual media tools to divide his show up seemingly flows from one act to another both visual and live performances compliments and support each other.
Using simple devices and techniques; like 'opening the curtains and sweeping away the stage space' promptly clears the air (as it were) to draw a line under the raw issues conversed in his act.
Still trying to understand the big 'queer theory' world, I am stunned by the impressive Dickie Beau's show by the interdiscplinary elements of his act, cleverly staged and well thought out.
Drag clown is the way forward!

Cats are among the most commonly kept domestic pets, and coexist with humans in a variety of different circumstances. Cats are sentient beings and, as such, humans have a responsibility for cat welfare where humans and cats coexist. Because cats reproduce efficiently, measures to control populations are frequently needed, but these should be based on ethical and humane approaches.
