text: Share: Comments Print June 7, 2012 at 3:15 PM Microsoft sticks to its guns on "Do Not Track" as default in IE10 Posted by Janet I. Tu Microsoft says it's sticking to its plans, announced last week, to ship Internet Explorer 10 with the "Do Not Track" setting on by default. That's even though a group working on specifications for "Do Not Track" has issued a draft of the specs saying the decision to turn on "Do Not Track" should be left to the end user, not the company issuing the browser. "All of which means that there's no likelihood now that Microsoft IE 10, or any other browser, will ship with DNT turned on by default, though they could come with a very easy way for users to turn it on," reported Wired.com, which also posted a copy of the draft specs. Microsoft, however, says it's still planning to ship IE10 with "Do Not Track" turned on.The company also said that the draft specs are just that — a draft, not a final decision — and that the company is still working with W3C (which stands for World Wide Web Consortium), the standards body working on the "Do Not Track" specs. Microsoft is a member of the group — which includes tech companies, privacy advocates and online ad companies — working on those specs. "We are engaged with the W3C, as we are with many international standards bodies. While we respect the W3C's perspective, we believe that a standard should support a privacy by default choice for consumers," Microsoft's Chief Privacy Officer Brendon Lynch said in a statement. The company also pointed to minutes from the W3C group working on the draft specs, in which the group's co-chairwoman said: "It will be quite a while before we have a final recommendation with which to comply or not. As I posted before, until there is a final recommendation, there is no way for a user agent (or anyone else) to be complying or not complying: there simply is no published recommendation yet." "Do Not Track" is a tool that allows browser users to restrict advertisers from collecting information about their online Web activities. It has the backing of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. Browsers with "Do Not Track" turned on don't block cookies but send a message to advertisers that the user does not want to be tracked. Companies voluntarily decide whether to comply with "Do Not Track," much as they currently decide whether to comply with the "Do Not Call" registry. Microsoft's announcement that it would turn on "Do Not Track" by default in IE10 angered advertisers."The Digital Advertising Alliance, a coalition that counts Microsoft as a member, said that the decision ran counter to the industry's agreement with the White House announced earlier this year to honor 'do not track' as long as it is not a default setting," according to a Wall Street Journal Digits blog post. Ironically, Microsoft's own ad network doesn't comply with "Do Not Track," though the company says discussions are underway to possibly change that stance. Microsoft sent a statement on that issue, saying: Multi-stakeholder discussions regarding the appropriate response to the DNT signal are ongoing and we look forward to continuing to participate in them. We believe a uniform industry-wide response is important in order to provide a consistent consumer experience across the web. As we announced in February, Microsoft Advertising intends to treat the do-not-track browser signal as an opt-out of behavioral advertising under the Digital Advertising Alliances self-regulatory program. Microsoft does not yet respond to the DNT signal, but we are actively working with other advertising industry leaders on what an implementation plan for DNT might look like, with a goal of announcing more details about our plans in the coming months.

Way back in January I returned to my old high school, Nakusp Secondary, to work with students on an Art Starts Design Thinking project. This was a very cool challenge for me because over the last two years I've been paying close attention to my personal design/build process. I have been especially observant of a few key ingredients for success:
Input/output balance. First research and development then creation. Inspiration! you cannot pull from an empty, tired mind.
Accept that the project will hit all sorts of phases and for sure be super ugly for long periods of time.
Dream If you have a direction and a dream it is much easier to push past design and physical obstacles; to relax inside the entire process.
Remember it's all about process - the joy of building something new and the elation when dreams become reality.
Re generation is a student-designed and built mild steel sculpture that explores themes around nature's cycles, relating to the venue and humans we designed for: Nakusp Secondary School. We identified that schools work in a cycle; every year, new students arrive and some leave. It's a story of maturation over again.
Six days is not a lot of time to design and build a sculpture. I'll usually think and sketch about something for a year or so and then take five hundred hours or more to construct it. Six days was a challenge, but we did it! This is a short version of our steps.
Becoming an Artist team We worked together as a team to embody the many aspects of creating work for the public and sharing it in a modern accessible way. Each team member has their own strengths and wisdom to share, and as a team we appreciate everyone's gifts and input.
Design thinking As artists, we don't just create the physical work, we often create an entire story. What is the story of Nakusp Secondary School?
Immersion into the creative process Entertaining all ideas, in this phase of design anything is possible. Gravity can't stop us and no idea is too silly or unattainable for our team.
Building and Exploring Most steel comes in some type of two dimensional form. In order to take it to the third dimension, careful planning is necessary due to the expensive nature of the medium and the time it takes to convince it into a pleasing shape.
Execution of physical sculpture The main frame of the sculpture is mild steel pipe of various sizes donated by Waterbridge Steel. First, with rolls of paper to test ideas and then the real thing, we manually cold bent the frame by utilizing and exploring the effects of different shop tools. The smaller branches were shaped from offcuts from my own studio and were shaped in the same way as the pipe. Following that, we welded on the steel leaves and birch bark we had cut out.
Parts of this sculpture (the leaves and birch bark detail) were designed in paper by the students, transferred to a digital file by me, and then custom profiled here in town. By utilizing industry technology we were able to cut down on shop time, the human element, and the skills needed to manually cut out multiple parts with precision ... the kind of cutting it takes years to master.
The leaves were painted with gold automotive pigments and paint that I use on my sculpture work and should pick up the light in all seasons, but especially could bring warmth to a barren Winter landscape.
The final resting place of this project is still under discussion, but will be installed somewhere, sometime. I'll keep you posted.

More on Agenda 21
If you have not made yourself familiar with "Agenda 21" and how it is being implemented ... it is time that you do. This isn't applicable to America alone ... this is a global plan. Let me say this. if you are familiar with Orwell's classic novel 1984 and the term "double speak" Agenda 21 and its implementation are a case sudy in how double speak is used.
This may be one on the best symposiums I hav seen on the subject.
There are some real surprises ...
To Be Completely fair ...
There is no reason you should believe anything I say (or what anyone else says, for that matter). Your challenge, should you decide to accept it, is to research the evidence and decide for yourself.
So kiss that "confirmation bias" goodbye and get as much material on subjects that interest you as you can. Confirmation bias is where one has already made up their minds about something and accepts only the information that tends to support their view. To me, wisdom is about collecting all the different viewpoints. That way you have the best chance of coming across the right answer. From there ... let your heart tell you what is right.
Toward that end I submit the following video. As far as debunking the "ancient alien" theorists this is one of the best I have seen.
Believe it or don't believe it. It's up to you.
It is a bit over three hours long ... but easily divisible into several viewings. Have fun!
In the Matrix
Many people are reluctant to accept the "ancient aliens" theory of out species. The one where space aliens come to this planet, are mistaken for gods, and minupulate the basis of our species in one way or another. What way might that be? Well there is the theory there was direct intervention or manipulation of our DNA. There is the theory that they intermingled with our women (yep, we are talking about sex). And there are a number of other theories that involve manipulations that we have yet to discover ... like thought control or some sort of chemical or electrical intervention.
Well I am not here to sell you on any of those theories. I am here to get you to watch a short video on what our scientists are doing. see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9izj28yyJI
Ah good ... you watched it. Now let's play a game. Scientists feel they have the authorization, or the right, or perhaps they are somehow compelled to learn the inner workings of the brain (we'll get to the "compelled" part later). Frankly folks if you believe this research is about anything other than profit and control ... the word sucker comes to mind. Sure, they will learn a lot, and catalog that knowledge, and perhaps even develope some techniques to battle various diseases. That is a given. But the scientists are not the ones who control such discoveries ... they only make the discoveries. Who controls it? The answer is simple ... follow the money. Whomever funds such research endeavors to enjoy any economic gains that might come from the research. And I smell the stink of the corporation.
In the brief video above they are delving directly into the brain to determine what makes it tick. Once they know how to control the mind of a fish, they'll progress to another species ... and then another ... and finally the mind of man. And once they know how to do that we truely are doomed. It is a widely accepted fact, corporations don't care how they make money ... only that they do. Look at the environmental disasters that we are now facing with increasing rapididty. Almost every on can be traced back to a corporation that found a way to transfer their costs, albeit indirectly ... back to the people.
Take the disasterous meltdown at Fukushima as an example. They built the nuclear power plant on one of the most active fault lines on the planet. They knew tidal waves are frequently cause by earthquakes but built the plant right on the ocean. It should be incredibly obvious to everyone by now that their back up plans for such an event were woefully inadaquate. The long term causal problems that will grow from this nuclear meltdown are unknown as of yet ... but one thing is certain. If they do find the builers to be at fault ... they will only be at fault to the extent they have the funds for restitution. After that the word is "bamkrupt" and after bankrupt we have ..." the public pays everything else". Now do you get how corporations work? Now do you see why they came up with this idea that the stockholders could not be held liable for the actions of the corporation? Clever devils!
Lets take one last shot at the "compelled" thing I mentioned earlier. A scientist is no different that any of the rest of us. The corporation says develop "this idea", good or bad, doesn't matter ... develope it or find other employment. If they develope products that are safe and beneficial ... the corporations sell the stuff. If they develop products of questionable benefit ... the corporations sell the stuff anyway ... and tell the scientists to find an offsetting prodcut that they can sell too,to correct what was wrong with the first one. And so on.
Back to space aliens for a minute. Is it hard to believe a species, foreign to this planet, would come here to experiment on the unknown creatures living here? Well I have news for you. If our scientists discovered some life form on the Moon or on Mars ... research, disection, and manipulation would be the first order of business. So it is not all that hard to fathom.
But there is a larger question here ... whatever happened to "the right to life"? Who on earth gave anyone the right, or the idea we should be trying to find ways to manipulate the brains or the DNA of any species. And who is so foolish as to beleive in the benevolance of the corporatioon?
It's Balderdash !!!! (I've always wanted to use that word in open conversation ... I guess I'll hae to settle for using it in a blog)
Money 101
Let's see ... I remember reading, writing, and arithmetic. I remember biology, history, government, chemistry, English, Spanish, Latin, trig, creative writing, ... even acting and many advanced college classes on a wide range of subjects. (I studied high energy physics until it bored me into submission) I just can't remember a course called "Money 101" and yet here it is ... and finally a lot of other things are starting to make sense. If you have not taken "Money 101" it's time that you do!
see https://www.forbiddenknowledgetv.com/videos/money/all-wars-are-bankers-wars.html
Shall I assume you have already heard ...
Short video ... https://www.forbiddenknowledgetv.com/videos/radiation-poisoning/fukushima-model-cesium-137-dispersal-in-pacific.html
I'm sure you have heard our illustrious government's reports about the radiation dangers approaching our west coast ... you know, just like those on-going warnings we continue to hear about Chernobyl (what, you haven't heard any more warnings? ... well neither has anyone else) It kind of makes you wonder about eating fish too.
They can't sell you on the idea that nuclear power plants are safe ... if the media keeps reporting on the spread of radioactivity ... or the fact that many of the nuclear power plants are built on faultlines (can you say ...EARTHQUAKE, RUNNNNNNN!)
By the way ... the dolphins are no longer so thankfull for the fish (see ... A Hitchhike's Guide to the Galaxie).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ECi6WJpbzE I suggest watching this more than once!
What everyone needs to know after watching this ... is who end up being "on the hook" to pay for all this bubble/stimulus stuff. If you haven't already guessed ... it's you. The bankers, the congressmen, the politicians, and all the world's leaders know what is going on ... trust me, they do!
And when it comes to who they will protect ... we will finally understand the meaning of justice ... only they spell it "Just Us".
Every bailout package they have structured to supposedly get us out of this situation shares one simple fact ... it is only delaying the inevitable worldwide financial collapse. Because none of these stimulus plans addresses the real issues ... they are only designed to maintain the status-quo, but more time and force us all into deeper debt.
OK ... a twelve year old gets it ... what happened to you?
OK … it's not just Canada … the bankers did this to the people of the USA too.
If a 12 year old gets it … how hard can it be to awaken the rest of the public?
Start from scratch (from no money in existence) the bankers "print" one million dollars and loan it to the USA (Canada or any other government) with compound interest of 3%. At the end of one year there would be $1,030,416.00 owed. That's $1 Million plus compound interest at 3% for one year. Here is the problem if we started from $0 money … printed $1 million … and now there is $1,030,416.00 due to be repaid … where does the extra $30,416.oo in interest come from. They never created that money … they only created the $1 million to start with ???????
The only way to pay the interest on the debt created … is to create more debt. The 12 year old gets it. Share this with everyone you know and let's start to understand who the representatives in Washington really represent.
Give it up
They have already found a way to frighten you ... and in return they started depriving you of your constitutional rights.
Can you travel on an airplane without and invasive pat-down or dangerous electronic screening? Can you go to a large public event like a sports arena without a pat-down? What about bus terminals and train stations? How soon before they start searches ... so you can go to the mall or drive on a public street? Did you miss it? All this has already started ... and it's called prisoner training.
I know that seems radical to say ... but read between the lines ... invasive searches assume you are alread guilty of something until you can prove yourself innocent. Does that sound constitutional to you?
Take a look at this https://src.personalliberty.com/eview/299591/400635228/ ... Senator Rand Paul is telling you flat out ... they alread have your fear. So the next thing they want (to supposedly keep you safe) is your guns. Kiss the second ammendment goodbye. They want you to believe the second ammendment was about hunting rights and it was never about that. The second ammendment speaks about a malitia ... does that sound like something you would need a single-shot deer rifle for?
This game they are playing is called mis-direction and it is the same trick magicians use. While you are busy looking in one place the trick takes place right under your nose ... because you're concentrating on the wrong thing.
Now lets get to it. Do you seriously think that the criminals out there will suddenly be frightened by all these new laws and just give up on crime? Do you seriously think keeping law abidng citizens from owning firearms will keep the criminals from having and using guns? How well has that plan worked so far ... look at Chicago, with some fo the strictest gun laws in the nation? It is a city of millions ... who cannot protect themselves ... and the bad guys know it!
PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE ... they want the American public ... all law abiding citozens, to be disarmed. Use your logic ... is it because you have all been naughty little citizens who can't be trusted? (there's that guilty until proven innocent thingy again) Or is it because an armed public can't be bullied by the fear-mongering control-freaks in the government.
Proof of a corporate run government
Someone out there should explian to the people that the government they thought they had is actually a corporation ... and not a representative republic.
Hard Evidence of Corporate Takeover at All Levels of
Government in America, as Well as of the United Nations
Dunn & Bradstreet (D&B) DUNS code number are assigned to corporations in America to track their credit ratings. Below you will find the DUNS numbers for the aggregate US government and each of its major agencies, those of the aggregate governments of each US state along with that of its largest city, and those of the aggregate United Nations and some of its major agencies. These corporate code numbers can be verified by using the following link to the D&B website and typing in the required information: https://mycredit.dnb.com/search-for-duns-number/
In checking DUNS code numbers for governments, you will find that they have many subsidiaries and shell corporations to lessen financial accountability. You will find that some of them are listed as being in a geographical location other than in their territorial authority, making their operations even more suspicious. The City of Chicago corporation, for example, is located in Washington, DC, the State of Montana Corporation is located in Chicago, Illinois and the State of Maine corporation – listed with seemingly sardonic humor as "State-O-Maine Inc." – is located in New York City, New York. You will often also see executive, legislative and judicial offices themselves listed as corporations.
Manta.com is a website for obtaining data on corporations. If the names of any of these government entities are entered, you will find that virtually all of them are listed as private, for–profit corporations. You will also see in the aggregate valuations of their assets that Manta.com provides is vastly greater than what is listed in these private government corporations' fraudulent but well-publicized budget documents that seek to justify draconian but fraudulent budget cuts and their related tax-based extortion rackets.
This confirms that many hundred trillions of dollars of the people's money listed in the semi-secret government comprehensive annual financial reports (CAFRs) as government institutional investments are being siphoned off by the global banking cartel and those sinister forces behind it.
They are doing this via that obscure subsidiary of the private, for-profit Federal Reserve System known as the Depository Trust Clearing Center (DTCC), dba Cede Inc. (Again, note the sardonic humor.) This semi-secret entity fraudulently confiscates these investment funds as an executor after they have been registered by brokers, relegating investors to mere beneficiaries whose funds can then be lawfully – at least according to presently and commonly used Universal Commercial Code (UCC)-based statutory law, not constitutional or common law -- confiscated at the will of said executor.
The implications of this are staggering: not only has this corporate subversion of government happened in America and with the United Nations headquartered here, but it has happened in almost all of the nations of the world by means of similar corporate subversion enacted under different names. This definitely explains why governments at all levels in almost all nations no longer protect the public interest, but only special interests – specifically, the interests of their fellow predatory for-profit corporations whose actions are now destroying this planet and all life upon it.
This explains why the people of the world are soon going to see sweeping constitutionally-based legal and law enforcement actions in all of the nations of the world against those who, unrepentantly abusing these ill-gotten gains, have perpetrated crimes against nature and humanity. This also explains the honest transitional governments and financial systems that are going to be installed as the callous, corrupt human systems of the past collapse. The new transparent governmental and financial models now being tested in the nation of Iceland, as well as the likewise poorly publicized/contextualized mass resignations of government, banking and corporate officials now occurring worldwide are heralds of these imminent planetary events.

Never Endin War 2
Our government would have you believe we are threatened by invisible forces from around the world. We ask, "Who are these enemies?" ... They say, "We don't know!" We ask "What are they planning to destroy?" They say, "We don't know!" We ask, "When are they going to attack us?" They say, "We don't know!" We ask, "Where are they going to attack us?" They say, "We don't know!" We ask, "How are they planning to attack?" They say, "We don't know!" We ask, "Why would they attack us?" They say, "We don't know ... but get ready because they're coming!"
I ask, "Does everyone really believe in an all powerful enemy ... who is not just secretive ... but completely invisible?" When we were children we had a word for these invisible, threatening, and scary entities. We called them "spooks" or "ghosts". PLEASE ... don't tell me we need to go back to our childhood and begin to believe in spooks again (because the government tells us to)!
There are many Americans who now believe that 9/11 was a "False Flag" attack. From Wikipedia we get ... False flag has its origins in naval warfare where the use of a flag other than the belligerent's true battle flag as a ruse de guerre, before engaging an enemy, has long been acceptable. It is also acceptable in certain circumstances in land warfare, to deceive enemies in similar ways providing that the deception is not perfidious and all such deceptions are discarded before opening fire upon the enemy.
Covert military or paramilitary operations designed to deceive in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities may be described as being carried out under a false flag or black flag. Operations carried during peace-time by civilian organisation, as well as covert government agencies, may by extension be called false flag operations if they seek to hide the real organisation behind an operation.
Whether you believe it was a false flag or not ... we are now considered to be something less than "free" citizens and must be searched to travel or attend certain public events. I have another question. What would it take to get us to voluntarily give up even more of our rights and freedoms (assumedly, fear has convinced you that searches at the airport were necessary for your safety and security)?

9 Tips For Getting Good Sleep Outside
We learned how to sleep when camping the hard way. Our first camping trip still makes us laugh out loud. We took off for the Mojave Desert on a cold January weekend with the best of intentions. We packed moving blankets - those weird quilted things that protect your furniture when moving - for bed padding. We had some cheap sleeping bags that were just like the kind used for pre-teen sleepover's - cheap and not warm. The tent we used was at least 10 years old and made for warm summer nights - single season, really.
The desert got down to below freezing both nights, with wind gusts that were difficult to stand up in. Our little tent held on (barely), but we were freezing all night and had bruises the next day from rocks under our hips. To make it more comical, the first night went this rough, and we stayed and stuck it out for another even colder night. When the outdoor bug bites, you just kind of deal with the elements, I guess? We actually got up in the middle of the night and moved the car to try to block the wind. The tent was literally caving in from the wind, collapsing on our faces. It was rough, but somehow, we still fell in love with sleeping outside.
After a few more trips, we learned some things that help us stay comfortable and sleep a little better. Here are some of our tips:
Sleeping Bags
Do yourself a favor and spend the money for a good bag. It doesn't have to be the top of the line special, but by all means get something that is rated for the appropriate temperatures you'll be sleeping in. We have now ended up going through a couple different bags trying to get the perfect set up. All our bags have a "hood" that keeps the head warm when things get extra chilly. Don't skimp on the bag, it may be the most important part of a good nights sleep.
If you're camping with a close pal or spouse, and it gets extra chilly, you may be able to zip your bags together. Body heat is the only heat you can get sometimes!
We tend to camp in cooler weather most often, so if things get warm, kick that bag open and let yourself have some air. This can help you sleep!
Sleeping Pads
Trust us, don't use moving blankets and beach towels. A real camping pad is worth the money, especially if you're sleeping in a cold environment - insulation between your bum and the ground is worth it. Be sure to check r-values and temperature ratings for insulation. We've slept on non-insulated pads, on cold desert ground, and can tell you for fact that there is a difference. It's not fun having the entire backside of your body cold from the ground. An insulated pad will help you stay warm and avoid bruised hips.
Another tip, try to check out the pads in a store before purchasing - some of the materials are a bit noisy for any movements at night. REI will always let you try out any pad even if it isn't in their display barrel.
Clothing Is Important
We've heard everything from sleep naked to sleep with every article of clothing on. In our experiences, being super bundled gets restrictive, while not wearing enough just gets cold. We have some thin Under Armour base layer pants and shirts that keep us warm. The fabric is warm, even though it is thin, so it makes for comfortable sleeping while keeping you warm. If it's chilly at all, pro tip, cover your arms. They get super cold if they pop out of your bag in your sleep. And don't forget that insulated puffy, those soft jackets are warm and can be the perfect addition if you wake up cold.
If it's warm, shorts and a t-shirt and a blanket might be all you need - a Rumpl blanket is a great option for a blanket!
Crappy pillows just mean neck aches and bad sleep. Stuff sacks with sweatshirts inside are an easy option for backpacking when you need to keep a light pack. If you have the funds and space, go for the comfort of a camping pillow - like our Nemo Fillo's - or, our just recently purchased Therm-a-rest's compressible pillow - review coming soon!
Go To The Bathroom
Go to the bathroom before you start getting ready to turn in, and then go again right before you get in the tent. This can save you a dark, possibly cold, walk at 3am.
Stay Hydrated
This may seem opposite of the last point, but it is handy to have a bottle of water in the tent at night. Make sure it is leak proof! Hydroflasks work great, keeping your water cold and inside the bottle.
Keep A Light Nearby
We store our Luminaid in the gear loft in our tent so it is just overhead, if needed. Still being a nervous camper at times, we also keep our headlights right at the head of the tent for easy grabbing. It is handy to have lights nearby for those middle of the night bathroom runs.
For some fun, we got some ENO Twinkle Lights for the tent. They are great for reading, or for a nice glow in the tent.
Weird Noises
This has been the biggest hurdle to good sleep for me. I sleep pretty light, so I hear a lot of noises outside in the middle of the night. Tents are just not good at buffering noise. Noises from far, far away magically sound like they are right outside your door. I would swear that I've had people or animals walk right up next to me in the middle of the night, but when the fear subsides and I can hear more clearly, I realize it's a bird a mile away or something.
Be sure to follow proper food storage rules, and then there is no need to worry about what monster is lurking at your camp site. With food put away, and a clean change of clothes after dinner, critters shouldn't be paying you a visit. We did have some kit foxes rummaging around our campsite on one trip, and while it was probably a small, cute animal, it honestly sounded like the biggest bear in North America. Sometimes they just visit to have a look around, so try not be scared of the sounds around you.
Comforts Of Home
In my case, it's a panda. His name is Charlie and he goes on every camping trip with me. It may seem silly, but it helps me sleep, so oh well!

If A.J. Taylor's first two games are more than just a fast start, the University of Wisconsin junior could be in for quite the season.
His four catches of 20-plus yards against New Mexico on Saturday were more than any other Big Ten receiver has managed over two games, and his six receptions of that length this season are two shy of his total last year.
He ranks second nationally at 5.62 yards per pass route among receivers who have run at least 30 routes, per Pro Football Focus. Eight of Taylor's 15 targets this season were considered deep balls by PFF (targets of 20-plus yards downfield), a 53.3 percentage that sits as the fourth highest in the country for receivers who have been targeted more than 10 times.
Taylor could be emerging into a different level of deep threat, and the Badgers are pushing that agenda by finding clever ways to spring him open downfield.
Let's take another look at Taylor's first two catches against the Lobos, which were essentially identical plays. From the slot, Taylor uses outside receiver Jack Dunn to screen off his defender before running free down the sideline. Take note of quarterback Alex Hornibrook tapping his right shoulder before the snap (it's less obvious in the first video).
Per offensive coordinator Joe Rudolph, Hornibrook didn't change anything about the play. Touching his shoulder was simply a signal to ensure he, Taylor and Dunn were all on the same page in seeing what the defense presented. What they saw on both occasions was New Mexico showing blitz and a safety creeping down into the box. With just one safety patrolling the middle of the field and the Lobos' outside cornerbacks playing press coverage, Taylor essentially only needed to win a foot race in which he used Dunn to gain a head start.
While the play design did the heavy lifting here, these are also big-time catches from Taylor. On the first one, a key third down after the Lobos' deflating opening touchdown drive, he uses his body and arm well to maintain separation from the defender before making a one-handed grab. There may have been a slight push from Taylor with his right hand, but it's minor and subtle enough to not draw an offensive interference flag — a calculated move, in my opinion.
His second reception wasn't an easy one, either. The defender fell down before the ball arrived, but Taylor had to open up his body to reach the ball and make an off-balance catch.
Taylor, a high school running back, has also developed into a fluid route runner. He ran a crisp, corner-post route that freed him from double coverage on his 44-yard catch late in the third quarter (Taylor starts on the left side of the screen in this video below).
Taylor's big issue, of course, is drops. He committed three already this season, but his hands have still noticeably improved since he arrived on campus in 2016. They should continue to get better with more time.
Only 13 of Taylor's 48 targets (27.1 percent) were deep passes last season, per PFF, and he gained just 1.95 yards per route. While the last two weeks are a small sample against inferior competition, those averages have practically doubled.
It'll be interesting to see if Taylor's role or target share dips with the return of Danny Davis this week, but he looks well on his way to establishing himself as a more refined vertical threat and the Badgers' No. 1 wideout this season.
— Isaiahh Loudermilk's box score numbers Saturday show nothing but his two tackles, but his return from offseason knee surgery looked quite encouraging.
Here are a few snaps on the game's first drive that seemed to indicate he's back to his normal self. Loudermilk shows off his strength in the first two, blowing up a play by driving the left tackle into the running back before throwing the left guard aside to make a stop for no gain a few plays later. On the third, his length prevents New Mexico's right tackle from locking in on him, and Loudermilk's able to close the gap between him and the running back with one stride.
Despite playing 10 snaps that first drive, Loudermilk finished with just 27, per PFF. Only 12 of those saw him rush the passer — the area UW will need him the most going forward. He said after Saturday's game that his knee felt fine and he didn't feel too fatigued during that first possession. Expect his reps and his production to increase over the next couple weeks.
On a side note, Kayden Lyles looked more effective in the run game Saturday and made some really nice plays. He's still only a couple months removed from the switch to defense, but even with Loudermilk back it looks like he'll be a season-long starter. The Badgers need him to keep developing quickly.
— Alec Ingold got plenty of pub for his nifty, 39-yard run and fourth-quarter touchdown Saturday, but I found this gem on Jonathan Taylor's fumble particularly enjoyable.
Ingold came out of the gates with a fantastic run-blocking effort against Western Kentucky — his better of the two games this season, according to Ingold himself — before helping in a number of ways Saturday. He's an incredibly versatile player, and while Mason Stokke looked much better against New Mexico than you'd expect for someone who switched to fullback less than three weeks earlier, the Badgers certainly won't want to lose Ingold at any point this season.
— I've heard some harsh complaints from fans about Garrett Groshek in pass protection, and I think it's a bit of an overreaction.
I highlighted a couple of his mistakes in last week's film room, and I'm still under the belief that Chris James, who out-snapped Groshek 11-8 this week, is their best back in this area. But Groshek's typically solid, even with a few mishaps over the first two games.
If you go back and re-watch the first video of the A.J. Taylor section above, you'll see Groshek do his part in making the play work by cutting in front of Hornibrook at the snap to slow down an outside linebacker heading for the quarterback's blind side.
It could be much worse, Badgers fans — as it was for New Mexico on Scott Nelson's interception.
That's a really poor effort to block Andrew Van Ginkel, and you could argue Van Ginkel had more to do with that interception than Nelson.
Here are a few more interesting PFF stats to send us off this week:
— Zander Neuville (54) and Kyle Penniston (52) saw significantly more snaps than Jake Ferguson (34) against New Mexico. Ferguson has run 38 routes through two games to Penniston's 18, however, and Neuville only ran five in his season debut against New Mexico.
— Cole Van Lanen has allowed zero pressures in 29 pass-blocking snaps this season. By comparison, David Edwards surrendered four pressures and a sack in 45 pass-blocking snaps over the first two games.
— Jonathan Taylor is tied for fourth nationally with 13 missed tackles forced in the running game. He recorded 66 last season.

7Duck Duck Goose (April, 2018)
There is a lot of original family fare set for 2018, including the animated feature Duck Duck Goose. This digitally animated film stars Jim Gaffigan as an irresponsible bachelor goose, Peng, who would do anything other than practice for the upcoming migration to the south. Peng gets so wrapped up in showing off and doing his own crazy high-flying stunts that he ends up breaking his wing and grounding himself. This accident also results in him inadvertently separating two ducklings from their family and the rest of the group.
In the film, Peng must journey south on foot while leading the young ducklings and protecting them. It will mean he must learn responsibility, as well as to care for someone other than himself. Carl Reiner, Greg Proops, Zendaya ,and Stephen Fry also star.
6I Feel Pretty (June, 2018)
Chick flicks are a lot different now than they once were. Many now empower women, rather than focusing on topics such as romance, having babies, and failing at dating. I Feel Pretty continues to buck the trend, but that isn't much of a surprise when considering the fact that it stars comedian Amy Schumer.
In I Feel Pretty, Schumer is Renee Barrett, a woman who works in the cosmetics industry, someone who feels that she's mediocre in a sea of beautiful women. After an exercise incident that results in a head injury, Renee suddenly believes herself to be stunningly beautiful, although she looks exactly the same. This leads to a renewed self-confidence that sees Renee becoming more successful at her company, challenging the notion that beauty is only skin-deep.
5Tag (June, 2018)
Imagine the most epic game of tag that lasts over decades and crosses the world. That's what Tag is about. It follows a group of extremely competitive friends that have been playing the same game of Tag since grade school. They will do what it takes to not be "it," including risking their lives, their jobs, and their relationships, all for a children's game. The movie starts the game at the wedding of their only undefeated player, supposedly an easy target. But he knows they're coming, and he's waiting for them.
What's even crazier about this film is that a true story inspired it. This one should provide some laughs, especially because it stars funny men Ed Helms and Tracy Morgan. Jeremy Renner also stars.
4The Happytime Murders (August, 2018)
Just the title of The Happytime Murders should intrigue fans of dark comedy. But this one has a lot of weight under its belt, especially considering that it's the latest project from the Jim Henson Company. Yes, that means that this movie features puppets. But this isn't Sesame Street. Instead, this is a puppet story with a classic film noir angle.
The story follows an ex-cop, Phil, who is on the trail of the serial killer who murdered his brother. That serial killer is now targeting the stars of a famous puppet TV series called "The Happytime Gang." Phil must use his detective skills to find the killer. This is an adult puppet movie and, obviously, there just aren't enough of those in the world.
3Marwencol (November, 2018)
In the 2010 documentary Marwencol, filmmakers explored the life of artist and photographer Mark Hogancamp. Hogancamp suffered massive brain damage after an attack by five men who nearly beat him to death, losing nearly all memories of his previous life. For therapy, he built his own town, called Marwencol, in his back yard, populated by dolls that represented himself, his friends and his attackers.
In 2018, Steve Carrell plans to star in a fictionalized account of Hogancamp's story to the screen directed by Robert Zemeckis (the film's working title is actually Untited Robert Zemeckis Project). Carell will star, along with Leslie Mann, Gwendoline Christie, Diane Kruger, and Janelle Monáe. Expect a funny, yet heartwarming tale, about a man who was a little out there, but also lovable.

Eat This, Not That! for Mexican Lovers
There's no denying it: America is a nation filled with folks who are obsessed with Mexican food. From guac and tacos to burritos and Coronas, it seems everyone from the Unidos de América can't get enough—even Trump is a rumored fan of the grub, which is saying a lot! (Yes, we totally made that up.)
But like most fare that makes its way into our fine country, Mexican food has been thoroughly Americanized, which is really just a nice way of saying it's been pumped with fat, calories, sodium and chemicals. Not only is that bad news for Tex-Mex lovers looking to stay healthy and lose weight, it's also a bit of a diss to the traditional wholesome dishes they were modeled after.
There is a bit of good news, though. If you're careful, it's totally possible to indulge in some delicious Mexican dishes without packing on the pounds—and we're here to help you do just that! Read on to discover what to eat and what to skip whenever you get a craving for a Mexican fiesta in your mouth.
Eat This
Avocados are high in fat, but it's the monounsaturated kind, so (like olive oil) it's good for your heart. Guac also contains vitamin E, a disease-fighting antioxidant. (No wonder it costs extra!) For even more ways to keep your ticker in tip-top shape, be sure to steer clear of these 30 Foods That Can Cause Heart Disease.
Bean Burrito
Eat This
When you order at a Mexican restaurant, ask your waiter which type of beans they serve. If they're the whole variety, a bean burrito could be the healthiest thing on the menu. The fiber in beans lowers cholesterol and helps make you feel full—which is just one of the reasons they're one of these 30 Best Foods for 6-Pack Abs. However, if they're the refried kind (that means they're mashed and cooked in lard) you're better off with the chicken burrito.
Chicken Fajitas
Eat This
A heap of onions and peppers is a plus, but to keep this sizzling skillet from breaking the caloric bank, skip the cheese and the sour cream—it will save you 300 calories and 15 grams of fat. To slice additional calories, ask for just one tortilla and stuff it full or skip the carb blanket all together and just stick with the fillings and low-cal toppings.
Soft Tacos
Eat This
Real Mexican tacos are served on soft corn tortillas, and you should embrace the authenticity; made with just whole grains (i.e. corn) and water, they'll save you 100 calories per taco over the flour variety. For even more calorie-saving hacks, check out these 25 Ways to Cut 250 Calories.
Eat This
No matter how you look at it, opting for mole over melted cheese and sour cream is a healthy choice. Hop on board with this swap to keep your arteries clear and your waistline lean.
Not That!
Want to cut 200 calories or more out of every Mexican meal? El Pass-o on the tortilla chips. They do nothing but make you thirsty and get you to order more beer. The guacamole is just as healthy and delicious if you eat it with a fork. Some restaurants may even have some raw peppers and carrots they can give you for dipping. Obsessed with avocados?

Burrito Mojado
Not That!
Mojado means "wet" in Spanish, and normally denotes a burrito that is shrouded in melted cheese and then drowned in a rich, salty tomato- and chili-based sauce. Skip it if you want to stay slim.
Taco Salad
Not That!
Sure, they call it a salad, but in reality, it's just a huge fried tortilla shell filled with ground beef, cheese, sour cream, and a few token shreds of iceberg lettuce. The result: 900 calories, 55 grams of fat, and perhaps the most liberal use of the word "salad" ever. For salads that are actually healthy, check out these 20 Awesome Recipes for Mason Jar Salads!
Not That!
You know you like them, but what exactly is an enchilada? Tortillas dipped in fat, stuffed, rolled, covered with cheese, and baked, that's what! Topped with sour cream, two of them carry 748 calories, 55 percent of which is from fat.
Not That!
In most Mexican restaurants, the rice is fried in oil. The result: a cup of the stuff packs 380 calories and nearly 11 grams of fat—and no, we're not talking about healthy fats. So just say no!
Taco Bell Chipotle Chicken Loaded Griller
350 calories, 16 g fat, 4 g saturated fat, 810 mg sodium, 37 g carbs, 2 g fiber, 3 g sugars, 15 g protein

Eat This
"Chipotle is my 'fast food' go-to! It's actually one of a few takeout places I feel good about picking up dinner from in a pinch," says registered dietitian Cassie Bjork. "My go-to barbacoa bowl (outlined above) is an entirely dairy-free entree for those with food sensitivities or allergies. Don't forget to add some fresh guac to your plate! It's a good source fiber and healthy fat, which promotes absorption of all the nutrients from your meal."
Chili's Pasilla Chile Chicken
410 calories, 11 g fat, 2 g saturated fat, 1,750 mg sodium, 43 g carbs, 9 g fiber, 11 g sugar, 40 g protein
Eat This
Considering Chili's has appetizers for more than double the calories as this dish, it's safe to say the Pasilla Chile Chicken is one of the safest bets for your belly. To keep the dish low-cal, without sacrificing protein or fiber, the chain tops the grilled chicken with a corn and black bean salsa and then pairs it with a quinoa and wheatberry blend and steamed broccoli, one of the 30 Best Foods for 6-Pack Abs.
On The Border Smart Grilled Chicken Fajitas
550 calories, 10 g fat, 0 g saturated fat, 1,480 mg sodium, 65 g carbs, 50 g protein,11 g fiber, N/A sugar

Taco Bell XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito
860 calories, 41 g fat, 14 g saturated fat, 2,200 mg sodium, 91 g carbs, 12 g fiber, 6 g sugars, 32 g protein
Not That!
It's safe to assume that any dish with "XXL" or "Stuft" in the title is gonna be a doozy for your gut. It's hefty 32 grams of protein aside, this meathead contains a whopping 91 grams of carbs, 41 grams of fat, and 860 calories! With avocado ranch sauce, cheddar, pico de gallo, guac, sour cream, refried beans, seasoned beef and a shredded three cheese blend wrapped in a flour tortilla, just about the only thing "reduced-fat" about this burrito is the sour cream—and you're holding a whole day's worth of salt in one hand. To burn that off, you'd need these 33 Ways to Flatten Your Belly—Fast!.
Chipotle Burrito with Steak
1,115 calories, 39.5 g fat, 15.5 g saturated fat,2,165 mg sodium, 129 g carbs 19 g fiber, 8 g sugar, 58.5 g protein (calculated with black beans, white rice, cheese, sour cream, and roasted chili-corn salsa)
Not That!
Chipotle prides itself on serving "food with integrity." We appreciate the chain's commitment to high-quality ingredients, but all the integrity in the world won't make this burrito any less fattening or caloric. This over-stuffed burrito is definitely a no-go.
Chili's Quesadilla Explosion Salad with Grilled Chicken
1,430 calories 96 g fat, 28 g saturated fat, 0.5 g trans fat, 2,420 mg sodium, 84 g carbs, 9 g fiber, 18 g sugar, 64 g protein
Not That!
I'm embarrassed to admit it, but—before calorie counts were so readily available—this was my go-to order at Chili's. It seemed like the best of both worlds: You could get a solid serving of veggies, all while indulging in some quesadillas. But let this be a lesson for all: If a dish seems too good to be true, it probably is. Not only does this salad pack in more than the recommended daily intake of salt and more than half the day's calories, but it also carries traces of dangerous trans-fats.

Not That!
Not only does this tiny burrito carry 31 percent of the day's sodium and 25 percent of the day's fat, it's also spiked with partially hydrogenated soybean oil which has been linked repeatedly to heart disease. Its artery-clogging effects extend beyond your heart, however; reduced blood flow can impact everything from brain function to sexual function. Yikes!
El Charrito Beef Enchilada Dinner
420 calories, 16 g fat, 6 g saturated fat, 1,190 mg sodium, 62 g carbs, 10 g fiber, 14 g protein
Not That!
El Charrito refers to this as "a delicious Mexican restaurant classic." However, we highly doubt that those making this dish in Mexico are adding in caramel color (a dye that's been linked to cancer), BHT (a preservative banned in other parts of the world because it's thought to be carcinogenic) or dimethylpolysiloxane (an aquarium sealant chemical). If you don't want to eat those chemicals either keep this frozen health food imposter our of your shopping cart.

Kraft Velveeta Cheesy Bowls Bean & Rice Burrito Bowl
350 calories, 9 g fat, 1.5 g saturated fat, 960 mg sodium, 60 g carbs, 6 g fiber, 7 g sugar, 10 g protein
Not That!
Though it contains some elements of cheese like milk and cheese culture, Velveeta isn't real cheese. It's a cheese product made up of a host of chemicals and random ingredients. If that's not enough to keep you away, we're not sure what is.
Herdez Salsa Casera Mild
2 tbsp: 10 calories, 0 g fat, 270 mg sodium, 1 g carbs, 0 g fiber, 1 g sugar, 0 g protein
Not That!
Though the ingredients in this dip are "clean" (tomatoes, onions, serrano peppers, iodized salt, and cilantro), combined with some salty chips, one serving could easily dish out half the day's sodium. And considering new research has linked obesity and sodium intake, that's no bueno!
Tostitos Multigrain Chips
1 oz: 150 calories, 7 g fat, 1 g saturated fat, 110 g sodium, 19 g carbs, 2 g fiber, <1 g sugar, 2 g protein
Not That!
Despite its healthy-sounding name, these chips are primarily made up of corn—not a mix of multiple grains.
Corona Extra
Per 12 fl oz: 148 calories, 14 g carbs, 4.6 % alcohol
Not That!
For a beer that doesn't taste like much, it sure does come with plenty of calories. Stick with the Carta Blanca to stay on the straight and narrow toward weight loss success.
Skillet Chicken Tortilla Pie
Serves: 12
Nutrition: 356 calories, 15.3 g fat (6.7 g sat fat), 586.9 mg sodium, 4.6 g fiber, 4.5 g sugar, 28.5 g protein

This comforting skillet proves that, if done right, you can have a cheesy dinner without undoing a day's worth of healthy eating. Pair it with a side salad to boost your fiber and veggie intake so you're less tempted to dive back in for seconds.

Slow Cooker Mexican Quinoa
Serves: 8
Nutrition: 362 calories, 2.3 g fat (0 g saturated), 757 mg sodium, 69.2 g carbs, 12.4 g fiber, 5.9 g sugar, 16.9 g protein (calculated with low sodium broth, low salt taco seasoning, and 19 ounces of enchilada sauce)

Quinoa is one trendy health food that has earned its praise. Plus, it's super versatile and can be used in place of pasta and rice in dishes like this Slow Cooker Mexican Quinoa. Not only is it packed with hunger-squashing fiber (12.4 grams per serving in this dish!), but the super grain contains all eight essential amino acids, making it one of the only grains considered to be a complete protein.

Happy New Year to one and all!
Although the holiday season may by now seem to most people a distant memory, I only just finished celebrating last night! As you know from Part 1 of this memoir, Dominica was one of a number of islands in the southern end of the eastern Caribbean severely pummeled by an intense rain storm on the morning of Christmas Eve. In case you missed my descriptions from the day after (Christmas, in fact), you can read about them here.
Since then, there has been much discussion internationally about the apparent adverse impact of climate change on small tropical islands. Two thought-provoking and informative articles were written on this subject recently by Sir Ronald Sanders, a former Caribbean diplomat and Senior Research Fellow at London University . You can review his insightful commentaries at: www.sirronaldsanders.com.
While I remained storm-stayed for a few days over Christmas, my French conversation class had Christmas lunch with me on Friday December 27th. While fresh vegetables were in short supply, I was reminded of winter days in my Canadian childhood when one "made do" with whatever was in the larder. Fortunately, I was well stocked with other provisions. As I had planned the menu in advance, I did not panic without salad greens at hand. In fact, my offerings added to the authenticity of my festive Canadian meal – which emphasized both traditional English and French specialties that had been served up by my parents to family and guests in days gone by.
The 'plat du jour,' which was a curiosity to my European/Caribbean classmates had been previously described and discussed. Now it was time to sample it: La Tourtiere! (French Canadian meat pie). This savory mixture of pork and beef, with vegetables and seasonings was always served up on Christmas Eve at my childhood home. I continue to do it here on the Nature Island and my brother Marc and family do the same thing 'up north.' I guess we really do love it and I am glad my niece and nephew are experiencing this tradition – even if they do live in an English-speaking part of Canada. (But they do go to French immersion schools – so the meal complemented their studies too!).
Although I am always worried about how my dishes would be received, I was definitely reassured when Gildas (French) and Gijs (Dutch) went back for second helpings of the
From that moment on, I relaxed completely into the joie de vivre of Christmas 2013, even if it was a bit delayed! So while we ate and enjoyed the view of Roseau from my porch on a momentarily fine day, we discussed climate change, and odd weather patterns in North America, Europe and the Caribbean, among other things. But we didn't speak much French. Instead, our instructors Carole and Gildas freely spoke English. They didn't really mind, as they will be relocating from Paris to New York City in about a year's time! Unfortunately, Carole's term as Directrice at Alliance Francaise was up and they would be returning to France for a while. There's much more to the adventures of my exceptional young French teachers – and I'll explain it all in an upcoming post!
When we got to dessert, I presented my Canadian-inspired assemblage of sweets – most of which were prepared according to my mother's recipes and her added annotations to make them taste the best.
Then we got a very special present from Gildas.
He had recently returned from job interviews in France and he brought back champagne!!! We toasted to health, happiness and a hopeful new year, with many good things to come in 2014.
By now, my Christmas celebrations were in high gear! Even though I was not able to hike, I put on my boots and walked on slick roads, while negotiating broken pavements, muddy walkways and persistent puddles. While infrastructure in my neighbourhood is presently being assessed for damages and (hopefully) repairs, I limit my drives to roads that are free of landslides and have only a few potholes!
Of course, wonderful music continued towards the close of the Yuletide season, culminating with a communal concert at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Goodwill ( a northern 'suburb' of Roseau) on Sunday January 5th. Choirs, ensembles, soloists, instrumentalists and even some dancers came together to acknowledge Epiphany (that is actually January 6th, the 12th day of Christmas when the Wise Men brought their gifts to the Christ child). As a member of the In A Chord vocal ensemble, I and my colleagues gave thanks through our gift of song for this wondrous occasion.
With help from friends, I was able to attend other congenial feasts and good times – some in homes in mountainous areas that had endured various hardships due to that now infamous storm.
I sincerely hope that you felt the seasonal spirit of peace and goodwill as much as I did, despite the challenges imposed by Mother Nature in many parts of the world.
Thanks to my friends, neighbours and colleagues for making Christmas 2013 the most memorable one I have ever experienced in Dominica – regardless of the weather!

Research Area:
In this paper, the impact of multiple eavesdroppers on cooperative single carrier systems with multiple relays and multiple destinations is examined. To achieve the secrecy diversity gains in the form of opportunistic selection, a two-stage scheme is proposed for joint relay and destination selection, in which, after the selection of the relay with the minimum effective maximum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to a cluster of eavesdroppers, the destination that has the maximum SNR from the chosen relay is selected. In order to accurately assess the secrecy performance, the exact and asymptotic expressions are obtained in closed-form for the ergodic secrecy rate in frequency selective fading. Based on the asymptotic analysis, key design parameters such as multiplexing gain, and power cost are characterized, from which new insights are drawn. Moreover, it is concluded that capacity ceiling occurs when the average received power at the eavesdropper is proportional to the counterpart at the destination.

Enhancing Tourism Through Rail Trail Development
The Thompson Okanagan enjoys an extensive Rail Trail network as a result of decommissioned Railway lines throughout the region. These "Rail Trails" as they are developed will provide an opportunity to attract cycling and hiking enthusiasts of many ages and abilities to the region.
Key to the attraction of these trail networks is the less than 3% grade or incline at any point along the trails, making them easily accessible for to a wide range of cycling or hiking abilities.
There are three primary rail trails within our region with a fourth currently in the process of being developed.
- The Kettle Valley Rail Trail (Midway to Hope)
- The Columbia & Western Rail Trail (Castlegar to Midway)
- The Okanagan Rail Trail (Coldstream to Kelowna)
- And the yet to be named Rail Trail from Enderby to Sicamous
The rail trail corridors are managed either by a local municipality, a first nation community, provincial parks or the BC government, through the Ministry of Forest, Lands, Natural Resources Operations and Rural Development.
In the spring of 2016 Thompson Okanagan Tourism (TOTA), with funding and support from Destination BC (DBC), hired a consulting group to prepare the Thompson Okanagan Regional Rail Trails Tourism Strategy.
This strategy, completed in March of 2016 was developed with a focus on the Kettle Valley and Columbia Western Rail Trail route (the Trans Canada Trail section in the TOTA Region); however, it has broader implications for all the region's rail trails.
In the Fall of 2017 TOTA was awarded $500,000 from the BC government through the Rural Dividend Grant to implement core development projects for the ongoing success of the rail trail networks.
TOTA has two primary focuses regarding the development of the rail trail corridors. The first focus is to work with government to determine usage regulation on different portions of the rail trail networks. Currently large portions of the Kettle Valley Rail Trail and the Columbia & Western Rail Trail are not designated for a certain type of use, resulting in motorized/non-motorized conflicts. We are working with both non-motorized and motorized tourism stakeholders to help the governing bodies make logical decisions regarding usage for the future sustainability and economic benefits of these trail systems.
TOTA also focuses on infrastructural improvements and marketing. Funding from the Rural Dividend Grant will go directly towards:
- Kiosk and Wayfinding Signage
- Further development of the bcrailtrails.com webpage
- Wifi hotspots along certain portions of the trails
- User research
The TOTA Rail Trail initiative project lead is Ellen Walker-Matthews, VP, together with Mike Overend, Destination Development Program Specialist.

This is the phrase the boys use when everyone from our family is together. Typically we will mention to the boys that we are about to go see <<insert family member>>, and the boys will respond, "Is it going to be all family?" Well, last weekend was definitely "all family." We started out on Friday with Kendall and Zach coming to our house to spend the night. After playing for awhile and eating dinner, we went to Northwood Church for the Journey to the Manger. They had a live nativity, snacks and crafts for the kids, and a real petting zoo. I think the animals were everyone's favorite part. We came home and the boys went to bed while everyone else stayed up and watched A Christmas Story. Needless to say, I slept through most of it.
The next day we hung around the house during the morning and early afternoon. The boys loved playing with their cousins in the house and at the park. Later that afternoon, Uncle Tommy, Aunt Carol and Kierra, as well as Granny and Granddad, came over and we all went to a Mexican food restaurant in Fort Worth to celebrate Granddad's birthday. We had a great time enjoying wonderful food, conversation and time with each other. Afterwards, we came back to our house and ate birthday cake and opened presents. The boys still think that they need to help other people open their presents, which is kind of funny. Granddad was a good sport. After a very fun weekend, everyone loaded up and went home. We crashed.
It was a very eventful and fun weekend, and it got us excited about Christmas and all of the fun events we have coming up. It also made us want to stay in on Sunday and rest. Which we did.

A bus enthusiast baked a life-accurate bus shaped cake to present to the drivers of a Leeds service to commemorate its final day in service.
Jake Stead, 24, from Kirkstall, runs a bus enthusiast Facebook page in Leeds called Leeds Buses.
-> These are the 10 most expensive streets in Leeds
When Jake heard that the Connexions service 38 to Wortley/Gledhow via Headlingley/Kirkstall was due to run for the final time this weekend, he felt compelled to do something to mark the occasion.
So Jake, who works at printing firm Picture The Print, had a special replica of the 38 Connexions service made - entirely out of cake!
The sweet treat was handed to Tracey and Nathan, Connexions Buses drivers, today on the service's penultimate day in operation ahead of the 38 route being scrapped from Saturday.
Jake told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "The 38 Connexions bus began in June 2016 after the route was taken over by another operator.
"Today and tomorrow is the last days of the service which is a bit sad.
"I had a cake made today for the occasion.
"The drivers were really really delighted with their cake."
So what drives someone to become a bus enthusiast or a 'bus spotter' in Leeds?
"The page is for entertainment and interest and also to supply information about the buses in Leeds.
"It attracts drivers and people in the bus industry as well as people with a general interest in buses.
"My dad was employed by a bus company so I grew up with it. That is what inspired me to set up the page."
-> FIFA 19: This is where Leeds United rank in terms of squad value

Preparing for a new course at Mirrlees Fields.
Fixes for Reddish Vale and Urmston Meadows
Post H replaced with a new R at Reddish Vale. Plaque T replaced with post U at Urmston Meadows.
Posts replaced at Chesham Woods, Nuttall Park, Moss Bank and Queens Park Bolton
A working party to purge missing posts put 3 posts in at Chesham Woods, 2 at Nuttall Park and 1 each at Moss Bank and Queens Park Bolton. The picture is Queens Park Bolton, post G.
Dove Stone course updates
The Dove Stone courses have been updated:
post P has been moved to a place away from unpleasant litter
post EE has been moved away from bracken
post BB has been moved below the fence
Picture shows a hard-earned lunch stop.
Survey for Dove Stone map updates
A bit miserable yesterday, but we managed to survey a number of changes around Binn Green and the rhododhendron clearances across the water.
Bowlee no longer maintained
With great reluctance, the committee have decided to give up on maintaining the courses at Bowlee Community Park.
Woodbank Park Restoration
Perhaps one of the biggest list of jobs we've ever tackled in a day was the installation of 8 new posts in Woodbank Park. Many of the posts have been in place for years and have suffered from rot and in a few cases vandalism.
At control S we found evidence of 4 old posts. The new post is just down the path next to the old posts.
All the posts are now in place and the permanent orienteering course is now back in top condition.
Anyone using maps bought before February need to note that 2 posts have moved slightly. 36 is now on the South East side of the pond and 93 is a little further North, on a marker stone.
Wythenshawe & Sale Course repairs
The final bit of permanent orienteering course maintenance before Christmas was done today.
Wythenshawe Park had control IV replaced and several other controls firmed into the ground or cleaned up generally. All controls are now in place. The cafe at Wythenshawe is closed over Christmas.
Control C at Sale Water Park was located in what must be very dense undergrowth during the summer, dug out and placed in a more sensible place for the White courses it is on. Control D was hanging on, like a childs loose tooth waiting to be knocked out, see the photo. A new post was put in place and the old plaque has been used as a temporary measure.
Cafe Metro at Sale Water Park did us a couple of excellent Bacon Barms, well woth the visit.
Chorlton Water Park
The orienteering courses at Chorlton Water Park are now 100% complete, with a new control P in place, relocated from the river bank where it was getting damaged frequently by the grass cutters. It's now on a small knoll about 150 m South of the old location.
While going around the course I heard some strange bird noises and was convinced I had seen a parrot. I checked on the web and found out that a colony of ring necked parakeets is developing in the area. This link will take you to a site that gives more info on the birds, and lots of other interesting stuff that can be found in the park.
Hough End working party
The orienteering course and map at Hough End have been brought fully up to date. The new Leisure Centre is now mapped, and missing posts replaced.

Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure (CHF), means your heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs. Over time, conditions such as narrowed arteries in your heart (coronary artery disease) or high blood pressure gradually leave your heart too weak or stiff to fill and pump efficiently.
You can't reverse many conditions that lead to heart failure, but heart failure can often be treated with good results. Medications can improve the signs and symptoms of heart failure. Lifestyle changes, such as exercising, reducing the salt in your diet, managing stress, treating depression, and especially losing excess weight, can improve your quality of life.
The best way to prevent heart failure is to control risk factors and conditions that cause heart failure, such as coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or obesity.
