Ascent Trip Report
Trip Report the Zealand, Bonds, Twins, and Hale Grand Loop (2 day hike):
My friends Laura Hoffman, Shawn Keefe, and I drove from Massachusetts to New Hampshire on the night of Friday August 9th. We arrive at the Zealand Campgrounds around 9:30pm and set up camp for $18. The next morning (Saturday August 10th) we got up early and were on the Zealand Trail by 7:10am. It was a beautiful sunny day. We hiked the 2.5 miles to Zealand Falls Hut and arrive around 8:50. This trail is mostly flat for the 2.3 miles along the beaver dams and ponds. The last .2 miles is up the side of Zealand Falls to the hut is a gradual climb. At this point we hiked the next .2 miles to the Twinway trail. We went up to the 1.3 mile trail which was an easy climb to Zeacliff. Zeacliff was beautiful and had outstanding views. From there we hiked the 1.6 miles to the peak of Zealand Mountain which was gradual grade rise. The peak is .1 miles off the trail and is totally wooded and is a 15 foot circle cut out in the woods. There is a small wooden sign and a cairn. There are no views from the Peak of Zealand. We then hiked the 1.3 miles to Mount Guyot. Mount Guyot is a treeless peak and the wind was very bad on top. There are multiple cairns along this trail with a large one on the peak with a White stone on top of it. The wind was about 50 miles an hour at various times and very cold. We raced across this peak because of the wind and made it to the Guyot campsite at 11:50. The .2 mile leg to the camp site is not an easy trail. After a break and setting up our tent on campsite number 2 we then made our way up Mount Bond. The climb up Bond has gradual grade and is not hard. The top of Mount Bond is clear with full 360 degree views with a wide clear area for exploration and additional views. We could see all the surrounding mountains. The sky was clear and the wind would blow for 10 minutes and then stop for 5 minutes. We continued down the back side of Mount Bond to Bondcliff. The back side of Mount Bond is very rocky and steep. I found it easy but my team members struggled on the way down. Once we got down from Mount Bond the trek over to Bondcliff is very easy as it is all open and has very easy grade up to Bondcliff. I have to say Bondcliff is the best high peak I have been on in the Whites. It is gorgeous! There are full 360 views with great cliff and rock views. We recreated the famous picture from the top of Bondcliff looking back at the valley of West Bond and South Twin. It was stunning. We then made our way back up Mount Bond and over to West Bond. The climb up the back side of Bond was somewhat difficult and the way down to the junction for West Bond was easy. The .5 mile climb up West Bond was mostly down or flat for the first .4 miles with the last .1 miles going up with steep grade. The peak at West Bond is again clear with good 360 views. It is much smaller peak than Mount Bond and Bondcliff. After a 20 minutes on West Bond we made our way back down to Guyot Campsite for the nigh. The Campsite was wicked crowded with everything full and hikers sleeping along the .2 mile trial. I would guess between 80 – 100 people at the camp site. Shawn went back up West Bond after dark to watch the Perseid meteor shower which was at its peak.
The next day Sunday August 11th we got up around 5am and watched the sun rise from the camping platform. We then broke camp and hiked back over Guyot to the Twinway trail and then made over way over to South Twin. The final 300' up south Twin was in the sun and is a good grade. When we got to the top the wind was very strong and cold. South Twin has good views, but not as good at Mount Bond and Bondcliff as a number of mountains to the south and east are blocked from view. We then made our way over to North Twin. The hike was not the difficult and went by fast. After 20 minutes on the top of North Twin we started our way down North Twin on the North Twin Trail. We came to the creek at the bottom and there is a fallen tree that offers passage over the creek. I walked over the tree while my friends went across cowboy style and through the water. After ~3.4 miles we found the abandoned Fire Warden's trail up Mount Hale. To find this trail you must stay on the east side of the creek and look for a small cairn. The cairn is at the bottom of a ~10 bank. At the top of the bank you can see the trail heading north. I took this trail up Mount Hale. It is a very nice trail. It still has all the soil over the rocks and is very consistent in its grade with multiple switchbacks. There are parts of the trail that are over grow and some parts are very wet and marshy. It has seen some use as you can make out the trail through the ferns. This trail goes through a beautiful Birch forest laden with ferns. When you get close to the top the trees change to pines. This trail does take you over the Hale Northwest Peak. I made it to the top in one hour. When you come out of the tree on the peak of Hale you are right behind the old fire tower foundation on the north side. The other two trails are on the other side of the clearing. The top of Hale is a 50' circular clearing with the posts for the hold fire tower sticking out of the ground. I then made my way down to the parking lot on the Hale Brook Trail. I arrived at my car at 3:40pm. Seven 4000 footers in two days with a total of ~ 24.8 miles

(The Root) — Fantastical dramas like Lord of the Rings don't feature a bevy of black and brown characters, but that's not the case with graphic novels. The genre has a pantheon of strong female characters of color, such as Agent 355 in Y: The Last Man and Michonne from The Walking Dead. We see the latter sword-wielding character introduced in this season of AMC's adaptation of the zombie series.
In the hourlong show, a group of survivors struggle to live in a world where zombies rule, thanks to a virus that has infected most of America's population. Played by actress Danai Gurira, Michonne is a woman who led a passive life before the living dead took over but who has transformed herself into a butt-kicking survivalist. "My job isn't to come in and be the superhero but, rather, to play a chick trying to do what she can in the world she's in," Gurira told The Root.
Born in Iowa, Gurira was raised in Zimbabwe. She returned to the U.S. at age 5 and later earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from New York University, where she wrote a play called In the Continuum, about two women — one a newscaster in Zimbabwe and the other a teenage girl in Los Angeles — diagnosed with HIV. She performed the play off-Broadway, which led her to receive a grant to research female rebel soldiers in Liberia and Sierra Leone for her second play, Eclipsed, about kidnapping victims in that region's devastating civil war. Her third play, The Convert, is about Zimbabwe's coming of age as a country.
In addition to the stage, Gurira has appeared on Showtime's Nurse Jackie and has a recurring role on HBO's New Orleans drama, Treme. Gurira chatted with The Root via telephone about playing a calculating zombie killer, meeting real women just like Michonne and learning to slice a person in two with a katana sword.
The Root: There was a lot of buzz surrounding which actress would get the role of Michonne, and very few details became public. What was the casting process like?
Danai Gurira: It was a very interesting process that took a while. I knew the casting director — she'd seen one of my plays — but when [I got to my] first audition, I hadn't watched the show because I'm a scaredy-cat. But I got over my fear of zombies after I recognized that they're slow and can't open locked doors.
I watched the show and thought, "Wow, this is pretty phenomenal." I got sucked into the story, the characters and the beauty that the actors were bringing. I felt The Walking Dead connected to the war zones of Liberia and Sierra Leone, which I've researched, so that really resonated with me, and I really wanted the part.
TR: On the show, Michonne wields a samurai sword because it's a quiet and exact way to kill zombies and other attackers. Have you mastered the katana sword yet?
DG: I started training in Los Angeles after I got the part. It's just drills, trying out different things and keeping the form. It would probably take me 10 years to call myself a ninja. But I'm a lot more comfortable with the sword now and using it as Michonne does, efficiently and economically. She's not looking for flair; she's looking to kill zombies.
TR: Are you excited to play a butt-kicking character on-screen and joining the legacy of strong black female roles, like Storm of X-Men and Agent 355 in Y: The Last Man?
DG: It's cool, but I can't think about that because I have to be in the moment and let Michonne be who she is. They've created something very real on The Walking Dead, regardless of the fact that there are zombies around. There's beauty and reality to the human connections you see on-screen, which is why people from 16 to 60 love the show.
My job isn't to come in and be the superhero but, rather, to play a chick trying to do what she can in the world she's in. Her being interpreted as a badass is not for me to even think about. It's not useful to the tone of the show because it's naturalistically real. To me, The Walking Dead looks like a war zone, and that's what I love about it.
TR: Your résumé is dotted with serious dramas surrounding war-torn countries and HIV stigma. How did they prepare you for The Walking Dead?
DG: My second play, Eclipsed, was about women in war in Liberia. I love Michonne because she reminds me of the women soldiers I interviewed and became very intrigued by while researching that play. These women re-created themselves because of the trauma they experienced in that war zone and became fierce weapons themselves.
So as I watched The Walking Dead and read the comic books, I thought, "This is a war zone, like Liberia in 2003." It was so palpable, it gave me more of an intimate interest in playing her because I saw Michonne as a female rebel soldier. When everything changes, who do you become? If you say, "I'm not going down; I'm on a mission," you can become very ferocious.

The Valeant employees worked with the founders of the pharmacy, Philidor Rx Services, to set up the business in 2013 and expand its operations, three of the former employees said. Terms of the agreement were not immediately released. It already has, with owner Woody Johnson happy as a clam to play a game of brinksmanship with his best player. Steelers quarterback Landry Jones was carted off with an ankle injury during the first drive of the game against the Browns. Texans Akeem Dent Navy Blue Jersey Mike Tomlin's squad won eight of their final 10 regular-season games once Martavis Bryant added much-needed size and playmaking ability to Ben Roethlisberger's aerial attack.
Texans Stevie Brown Alternate Jersey Texans Lamar Miller Red Jersey Once he makes it through protocol, Ealy should have an even bigger role for the Panthers in 2016. Obviously, if it didn't bother me, I probably wouldn't have had the surgery. The team released a statement Tuesday in the wake of the incident.
With more cap space than 90 percent of the league and a whopping 10 draft picks in May, look for a very busy -- and unpredictable -- offseason in C-Town. I like it when (they're) shredded up," Carimi told WLS-TV in Chicago this week. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport noted last weekend that Jim Caldwell impressed Lions brass by sitting down with quarterback Matthew Stafford during his interview for the open coaching job in Detroit. Texans Customized Alternate Jersey The procedural error was a shared mistake, and they know it. Following the release of a joint statement with the Chargers earlier this week, one that suggested a site in Carson, California, would be a failsafe option if neither team would work out a deal with their respective cities, the team has been treading some delicate water with an already-sensitive fan base.
Texans Danieal Manning Navy Blue Jersey I don't know why Fitzpatrick can't shave, honestly. The speedy wide receiver had moments of pure electricity, most notably a 310-yard, three-TD explosion against the Indianapolis Colts. In a cleverly edited sequence, we see him move from one activity to the next with admirable speed, aided by another passion, his '71 Chevy Chevelle. So ends another money-related clash between the Seahawks and management, a recurring battle that has never gotten to the point where players missed games before. Texans Lamar Miller White Jersey Kirk Cousins, for example, is wearing sunglasses at night -- and not to watch you weave then breathe your storylines. It's going in the right direction.
Texans Danieal Manning Navy Blue Jersey You want to work with guys that have worked with the greats," Griffin said, via Ohio. He has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Giants. Very frustrating," Roethlisberger said when asked how frustrated he was with the team's start. I think people have been astounded by what we've been able to do with our young core.

I made for the Frog Princess this year was
a simple set of blank books.
I don't know of a single kid who doesn't like to draw and write in their own books.
She loves making up stories and illustrating mini diaries, journals, etc.
I just stapled office paper together with some leftover
scrap-booking paper to make the covers.
By making them in assorted sizes and shapes
I was able to re-use more scraps and give her more artistic freedom.
This would be such a simple birthday gift
to make for a special child in your life.
Just think what Eric Carle or Tomie DePaolo would have done with these?

New Zealand's No 1 tennis junior Emily Fanning has cracked into the top 50 juniors in the world after reaching the semifinals of the Grade 1 ITF Junior Events on Clay in Germany recently.
Fanning, seeded 14th in the draw, won three set battles in the round of 16 and quarter-finals.
Fanning lost to Adrijana Lekaj of Croatia in a see-saw semifinal; the 17-year-old Kiwi lost 6-1 0-6 1-6.
Fanning and partner Storm Saunders (AUS) reached the doubles quarter-final before going down to Mai El Jamash (EGY) and Victoria Rodriguez (MEX) 1-6 6-4 [7-10].
Despite the losses, Fanning who had a previous career-high ranking of 50, now moves to 43 in the world for juniors.
Fellow Kiwi Cameron Norrie also reached the doubles quarter-finals at the same event.
Partnering up with Australian Harry Bourchier the pair reached the quarter-finals before suffering a 4-6 3-6 loss to Christian Garin (CHI) and Jorge Panta Herrreros (PER).
The Kiwi juniors now focus on the lead in events on grass prior to Wimbledon playing in the Grade 2 ITF in Germany and the Grade 1 ITF in Roehampton before heading to Wimbledon Juniors.
Fanning is a direct entry into Wimbledon main draw with Norrie currently 10 places out of qualifying.
Meanwhile, New Zealand tennis No 1 Marina Erakovic has lost her opening round match early this morning (NZT) at the WTA Eastbourne Championships.
Erakovic lost 5-7 1-6 to Tamira Paszek of Austria.
The Kiwi is yet to play her first round doubles match.
Erakovic and partner Tamarine Tanasugarn (THA) face world number two pairing Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond (USA) in the opening round.
It's a rematch of last year's Wimbledon quarter-final where Tanasurgarn and Erakovic upset the highly ranked duo 13-10 in the third set super-tiebreak.
The doubles match is scheduled for overnight, Wednesday morning NZ time.

Well folks, another year has gone by and time once again to make some Thanksgiving wine recommendations.
Thanksgiving pairings can be somewhat challenging given the variety of different dishes on the table. However, this makes for a good reason to get an assortment of wines (this can help with the relatives also).
Thanksgiving wines can run the gamut from sparkling to white, rosé, and red. Here, I'll focus on rosé and red wines. In terms of rosés, I always recommend staying on the dry side. The Barnard Griffin 2009 Rose of Sangiovese ($12) is just the ticket for the holiday. The wine is visually appealing in the bottle with a light cherry red color. In the glass, it is loaded with fresh fruit flavors and has mouthwatering acidity.
In terms of reds, I generally recommend going with lighter bodied wines with a lot of fresh fruit and that hasn't seen a whole lot of oak. I would also recommend staying away from wines that are strongly tannic.
Pinot Noir is always a Thanksgiving favorite. While this grape has somewhat bedeviled Washington winemakers, two I recommend for the holiday are the Syncline Wine Cellars 2008 Columbia Gorge Pinot Noir ($28) – which I believe to be the standard bearer for Washington Pinot – and Kyra Wines 2008 Pinot Noir ($18).
Two other wines from these wineries also deserve a place at this year's Thanksgiving table. The first is a perennial favorite, the Syncline Cellars Subduction Red ($18). The 2009 offering is a Mourvedre-heavy Southern Rhone blend. The second is Kyra Wines 2009 Dolcetto ($18). A native grape to the Piedmont area, this is again a fresh fruit driven wine. I recommend serving the latter on the cooler side around 62 degrees.
If you've already got your wines all picked out for the occasion, leave a comment and let me know what you'll be having.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Barnard Griffin Rose of Sangiovese Columbia Valley 2009 $12

Kyra Wines Dolcetto Purple Sage Vineyard Wahluke Slope 2009 $18
Rating: + (Good) Nose shows light vanilla, red currant, and fresh red fruit. Taste is bright, full of fresh fruit, sour cherries, and a rounded mouthfeel. Finish improves at a slightly cooler temperature. 100% Dolcetto. Pressed into neutral barrels for fermentation. Bottled after 9 months. 14.2% alcohol. 118 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.
Syncline Subduction Red Columbia Valley 2009 $18
Rating: + (Good) A lightly aromatic nose with white pepper, red fruit, and spice. On the palate, full and round with a plush feel. 39% Mourvedre, 19% Counoise, 17% Syrah, 16% Grenache, 6% Cinsault, and 3% Carignan. 14.2% alcohol. 1,488 cases produced.

Debra Says:
Soos Creek Artist Series 4 Red Wine and Broadley Pinot Noir. And maybe a sparkling Shiraz just for the fun of it.
Debra very good calls. Love the Soos Creek wines.
Evening Land Vineyards Gamay Noir from the Eola-Amity Hills AVA.
I am looking forward to turning my friends on to Charles Smith's Kung Fu Girl riesling. I like the fruitiness of the wine with just the right acids to match a Tday kind-of meal.
Will be enjoying:
- Hard Row To Hoe 09 Shameless Hussy Dry Rose (Sangiovese) (Chelan, WA)
- Wapato Point 08 Harmony white blnd (Chelan, WA)
- Nehalem Bay Pinot Gris (Salem, OR)
- Cass 07 Syrah (Paso Robles, CA)
- Cass 06 Petit Syrah (Paso Robles, CA)
- Cass Rockin' One Rhone blend (Paso Robles, CA) (my fav of all time)
Has been fun reading about people offering up syrah and petit syrah with thxgiving. Two of my favs, so will be fun enjoying!
The Kung Fu Girl Riesling! How come I didn't think of that. Perfect!
Sounds like everyone is having some great wines. Kosma, fun lineup.
I think the Barnard Griffin Rose will be fabulous with Thanksgiving dinner. That is what will be on my table!
Tiffany Says:
Just bought the Barnard Griffin last week! Also going with a Crowley Pinot Noir and Laura Volkman St. James Estate Pinot Noir.
Working ours like a bit of a tasting event. Some variety with the whites, although featuring exclusively Rhone red varietals including Cass Rockin' One, rhone blend from Paso Robles. A special blend that must be tried! Tough to do though, as I think it sells out on futures each yr.
OMG -- Almost forgot to mention: our special thxgiving feature is Cran du Lait from Shallon Winery in Astoria, OR. Visited the unassuming fruit winery last summer and it is a must see! Everything from a dry blackberry wine to a sensuous chocolate orange treat that will spark a fire on any cold night! Lemon and peach wines are a few others, so plan a stop next time near Astoria! www.shallon.com

Garza, Cubs roll past Brewers
Milwaukee, WI – Dioner Navarro swatted a three-run homer to support seven strong innings from Matt Garza, and the Chicago Cubs posted a 7-2 decision over the Milwaukee Brewers to earn their first series win in Miller Park in 2 1/2 seasons.
Garza (3-1) struck out a season-best 10 batters and limited Milwaukee to one run while scattering eight hits. He made an impact at the plate as well, going 2-for-3 with a run scored to help Chicago earn its second straight victory to cap the three-game set.
Starlin Castro also had two hits and scored once for the Cubs, who last took a series in Milwaukee from Sept. 10-12, 2010.
"It's nice to take two out of three after not having much luck in this ballpark lately," said Cubs manager Dale Sveum.
Brewers starter Wily Peralta (5-9) surrendered all seven runs in his five- inning stint, though just three were earned due to a pair of errors that led to Chicago scoring four times in the top of the third.
"He didn't pitch as bad as his numbers were," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said of Peralta. "We played poorly behind him."
Juan Francisco homered for a third straight game in the loss, with Logan Schafer driving in Milwaukee's other run with a sixth-inning double.
Chicago spotted Garza an early advantage by putting up a pair of runs on three hits in the top of the second inning. Ryan Sweeney opened the frame with a single before later coming around on Brian Bogusevic's double down the left- field line, with Bogusevic crossing the plate on Darwin Barney's two-out base hit off Peralta's glove.
The Cubs broke the game open an inning later, with the lead increasing to 3-0 when Milwaukee left fielder Caleb Gindl dropped a fly ball off the bat of Sweeney that scored Castro, who had reached on a leadoff single. A missed catch error by first baseman Francisco shortly afterward put two men on for Navarro, who deposited Peralta's first-pitch slider into the right-field seats to give his team a six-run cushion.
While the Brewers struggled in the pitching and defense departments, Garza was dominant early on. The right-hander racked up eight strikeouts over the first four innings and didn't give up a hit until Aramis Ramirez singled with one out in the bottom of the fourth.
"His last three starts have been as good as anybody," said Sveum. "That's good to have."
Garza helped his cause with the bat as well, collecting his second hit of the day to begin the fourth and eventually scoring Chicago's seventh run on a Nate Schierholtz sacrifice fly that followed a walk and a groundout.
Milwaukee finally broke through against Garza in the sixth, when Jean Segura and Ramirez delivered back-to-back singles in front of Schafer's RBI double with two outs.
Francisco belted his third homer of the series, a solo shot off Blake Parker in the eighth, to account for the final margin.
Game Notes
Chicago had been 3-19 in its last 22 visits to Milller Park and stopped a nine-game losing streak there with Wednesday's 5-4 decision ... The Brewers commemorated the 20th anniversary of the inaugural live sausage mascot race, which began at County Stadium on June 27, 1993, by giving away free coffee and breakfast sandwiches to the first 250 fans in attendance ... Milwaukee outfielder Sean Halton, called up from Triple-A Nashville prior to the game, singled in his first major league at-bat as a pinch-hitter in the fifth inning ... Segura's single in the sixth extended his hitting streak to 10 games ... Chicago's Alfonso Soriano, batting just .191 in June, was out of the lineup for a second straight day, while Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez missed a third consecutive game with a sprained left shoulder.

\nI'm sure plenty of people were shocked when they first saw the Serbian bodybuilder, Jelena Abbou, flexing fiercely in M.A.C.'s Strength ad campaign. I wasn't one of them. Bulging biceps under a ball gown? Welcome to my world. I'm a professional bodybuilder—and a girly girl.
As my colleagues in the International Federation of BodyBuilding & Fitness pro league sometimes say, "I don't sweat; I sparkle." I love manicures and makeup, but there's a decent chance I'd be able to beat your boyfriend in an arm wrestling match.
Girls who look like Jelena and me have a message for the mainstream media: The frail and starved are being replaced by the fit and powerful, even if strides like the M.A.C. ad are happening little by little. I'm tired of skinny (probably hungry) girls being used to define femininity. Our culture wants to beat obesity and anorexia? So, believe, like I do, that strong is beautiful.
I started lifting heavy-ass weights four years ago, in part so I could carry all of my groceries up the stairs of my walk-up apartment in New York. But the real reason I'm a bodybuilder today is frustration. l was your standard cardio-crazed calorie counter—torturing myself on the elliptical and eating a rocky diet of bagels for breakfast, pizza for lunch, and carrots for dinner. I would get thinner, but the overall pear shape of my body never really changed. I never felt truly toned.
I decided I was going to permanently transform my physique. (Just a tad ambitious.) I found a trainer whose body I wanted: She was shaped just like an "x", with sexy, curvy legs, a tiny waist, strong shoulders, and defined arms. She taught me to drop the five-pound dumbbells and pick up heavier ones. I focused on training four times a week, isolating one muscle group at a time.
I completely changed my diet, eating more frequently and with more protein, choosing steak over pizza, cutting out sugar completely, and scaling down on alcohol dramatically (and sometimes, totally.) So you understand why endorphins are my everything...
Training led me to the competition circuit, which means 5 a.m. cardio sessions before my 9 to 5 job in pharmaceutical sales, and post-work lifting, more cardio, and practicing my poses, including the Model Turn. (Kinda funny that we named our version of the pivot after models when we look nothing like the girls on the runway.) I went pro in my third year of competing, and it felt like proof that I can do anything I believe to be true in the world.
Beyond the blinged-out bikinis, lucite stripper heels, and self-tanner, female bodybuilders are an example of the power of the human body—and real girl power. My competitors and I are very supportive of each other, because we know what kind of sacrifices we've all made and to be there. Sure, we're all tired and ready to rip our fake eyelashes off and finally eat a cupcake, but there is a sense of pride that unites us all.
Still, it isn't all glamorous. I try my best to maintain a social life, but let's be honest: Who wants to go out with someone who swears off alcohol and brings her own Ziplock bags of steamed tilapia wherever she goes? I was fortunate enough to maintain a supportive relationship for my first four years of competing, and my ex-boyfriend was very patient with the "hangry" (hungry and angry), super-ripped maniac blocking him from eating pizza in the kitchen. But eventually the lack of wine-and-fun filled date nights wore on our relationship. As the saying goes for competitors, I am married to the iron, at least for now.
I know a lot of guys are turned off by the possibility of me being able to squat more than them, but the truth is I'm turned off by them, too. My strength is empowering to me and not at all "mannish." I wouldn't trade in my muscles for anything, because they represent who I am—determined, proud, and female. Real men find that very attractive.
If you were jarred by your first glance at Jelena Abbou, look again. Consider that, as women, we're continually trying to break out of the molds we've been taught to accept as beautiful.

What do you think about the way female bodybuilders look: Beautiful or too bulky?

The Bahamas politician at the center of an alleged plot to extort John Travolta set fire to a key document and flushed it down a toilet, according to a report.
Pleasant Bridgewater, a former Bahamian senator, met with Travolta's attorney to discuss payment for a copy of the document, a waiver of medical treatment that the actor signed after his 16-year-old son Jett suffered a fatal seizure, according to People magazine. Three days after the meeting, cops arrested Bridgewater, who according to a police report, admitted she had destroyed the copy after the case heated up. She set fire to it with a candle and then flushed the ashes, according to a police report made public at the trial.
Bridgewater and a former paramedic are on trial for allegedly attempting to extort $25 million from Travolta to keep quiet the fact that he signed the waiver. Travolta testified last week.
It is not known where the original document is.

Wally Spice Photography Blog Update
This has been the main blog for Wally Spice Photogrpahy since 2006.
It chronicles the history of our business since Wally operated it out of her home in Hazel Park 8 years ago! . Weddings were the main stay at that time and through the years. Wally and her daughter Julie worked together as a mother daughter team.
We are now enjoying a great Studio space in Warren - on Hoover Rd just north of 13 Mile rd.
(see map on our location page). Wally has moved from Hazel Park into an apartment in Warren very close to the studio. Julie is in Clinton Township with her husband Ed and her sons Aaron and Steven. Ed is an award winning master photographer and we all work together as a family owned and operated business and love it!.
Julie is now the main photographer and her high school senior and school photography have taken over as her predominant area.
We do still enjoy the weddings and portraits, but now they come to us mainly through word of mouth - from the great reputation we have built up through the years from our loyal fans, friends and great current and past clients that we love!
We appreciate the kind words and recommendations, please keep this up.
We do have a listing on Yelp with some great comments also.
Thank you for you continuing support and let us know we can help you.

AMERICUS - Alan Arnett scored all of his team-high 15 points in the second half to lead the Georgia Southwestern men's basketball team to a 59-50 come-from-behind victory over Albany State on Saturday evening in the Storm Dome.
The Hurricanes improve to 2-1 while Albany State opens its season at 0-1.
ASU used a 12-2 run, capped by Jacolby Neloms' 3-point basket with 2:51 remaining in the first half, to open its largest lead of the game at 22-10.
GSW answered with eight unanswered points to close out the first half and went into the locker room trailing 22-18.
The Hurricanes regained the lead - for the first time since the opening minute - when Arnett drilled a jumper with 12:24 left to make the score 32-31. ASU would not go away quietly as Southwestern had to break four ties down the stretch.
Arnett scored nine of GSW's final 16 points covering a seven-minute span. Perhaps the most important basket coming with 2:05 to play when Arnett sank a 3-pointer from the corner to give the Hurricanes a 55-49 lead and a little breathing room.
After going to the charity stripe 58 times over their first two games, the Hurricanes added 33 free throw attempts on Saturday, connecting on 22, including their final four in the closing seconds.
GSW struggled offensively in the first half and shot 31.6 percent from the floor while being held to 18 points. Things changed over the final 20 minutes as GSW connected on 11 of 16 from the floor (68.8 percent) to finish at 48.6 percent for the game.
The Golden Rams were close behind shooting 42 percent overall. However, the aforementioned 3-pointer from Neloms proved to be the Golden Rams last connection from behind the arc as ASU missed their final seven attempts and finished the game 1 of 14 from long range.
ASU held a slight advantage in rebounds, 30-28, and points in the paint, 32-26.
GSW capitalized on 21 Golden Ram turnovers and held a comfortable points off turnovers advantage of 27-13.
Matt Shaw joined Arnett in double figures with 12 points for GSW while adding a team-high seven rebounds. Tyler Gunnett came off of the bench to dish out four assists, grab a key defensive rebound and pick up a steal late in the game to provide a second-half spark for the resurgent offense.
Albany State's Justin Udi led all scorers with 19 points. Jerome Hamilton pulled down a game-high eight rebounds for the Golden Rams.
The Hurricanes wrap up their five-game home stand next weekend with games at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday against North Alabama and Tusculum College.

Suppose that one has 100 machines (each with a 2TB hard drive), all connected in a network.
Is there a way (in Linux) to unite this combined 200TB of disk space into one folder, that can be shared using NFS among all machines that are in the network?
Going this route, all machines will be able to read/write to the same folder, and this way, I/O will be spread evenly between them. Is this a good idea if one needs a large file system to store 100s of TB of data? (note: data will be split to many smaller files, of size ~ 500GB each).
Is there a ready-made solution (prefereable, an open source one) that achieves just that?

Pentwater - 7 x 8 Map Painting
Pentwater - 7 x 8 Map Painting
Original mixed media map painting. The name 'Pentwater' is from a location on the map layered under this painting. Has a thick, waxy texture. Size is 7" x 8". Mounted on a boxy, handmade wood frame.
The map painting series began nine years ago with my love for old maps. The paintings begin with a map and are covered with acrylic medium, oil paint and ink on wood panels. Because of the layers, each painting takes between a week and two weeks to complete. Each one is named after a location on the map and framed with handmade and unfinished poplar wood frames. They are ready to hang and enjoy!

I take my New Year's resolutions way too seriously, and it's all Henry David Thoreau's fault.
Every student of literature goes through a phase of romanticizing the Romantics—memorizing "The Raven" even when it's not been assigned, keeping a copy of Leaves of Grass on one's person at all times, feigning interest in Moby Dick, resolving to name one's first child Pearl, writing Emerson quotes on note cards and sticking them all over the place.
While my phase came and went before I graduated from high school, there was one American Romantic I never fell out of love with. So obsessed with Henry David Thoreau that I convinced my parents to take me on a pilgrimage to Walden Pond in Massachusetts, I vowed never to live anywhere without keeping his famous quotation in a place of honor.
And so about this time every year, I go into my office, stand before my cork board, and read Thoreau's most celebrated words:
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
Then I ask myself, am I living deliberately?
Living deliberately doesn't necessarily mean living alone in a cabin in the woods. (Little known fact: Thoreau's cabin was within walking distance of his home, and his mom did most of his laundry for him!) Living deliberately means living on purpose, living with intention, living mindfully. It means refusing to simply accept things as they are or bow to convention. It means asking hard questions of yourself and your culture, resolving to intentionally do away with those things that are not life-giving, important, and meaningful. It means actually choosing to live rather than just letting life happen.
This is why every year, my New Year's resolution is to lose ten pounds and live deliberately.
The living deliberately part takes on a different shape each year. One year it meant finishing my book. Another year it meant quitting my job. Another year it meant trying to take Jesus more seriously.
This year I want live deliberately by reexamining the things I think I need.
This is what I mean: It seems to me that there are all of these voices telling me that I need certain things—privacy, boundaries, a 3-bedroom house, a two-car garage, clean neighbors, cool friends, fashionable clothes, TV, junk food, exercise equipment, a plan, a religion, a career, certainty, approval, stacks and stacks of books, and lotion that gives my skin a healthy-looking glow. Rarely do I stop, take stock of how I spend my money and my time, and ask myself—Do I really need this? Is this really essential? What is its purpose?
Donald Miller put it this way:
The ambitions we have will become the stories we live. If you want to know what a person's story is about, just ask them what they want. If we don't want anything, we are living boring stories, and if we want a Roomba vacuum cleaner, we are living stupid stories. If it won't work in a story, it won't work in life (A Million Miles in A Thousand Years, p. 124-125).
Shane Claiborne said it like this:
One of the things I think Jesus is doing is setting us free from the heavy yoke of an oppressive way of life. I know plenty of people, both rich and poor, who are suffocating from the weight of an American dream, who find themselves heavily burdened by the lifeless toil and consumption we put upon ourselves. This is the yoke we are being set free from. The new yoke is still not easy (it's a cross, for heaven's sake), but we carry it together, and it is good and leads us to rest, especially for the weariest traveler (The Irresistible Revolution, p. 137).
I think that perhaps the biggest hindrance to living deliberately is allowing the invisible strings of perceived needs to move us around like puppets. My New Year's resolution is to shake free of those strings—even if it means losing my house, losing my routine, losing some of my privacy, losing some of my stuff, losing some of my friends, losing my pride, losing my fortune, gaining my soul. My New Year's resolution is to front only the essential facts of life so that when I come to die, I will know that I truly lived.
...That, and lose ten pounds, of course.
What are some of your New Year's resolutions, both grand and simple? And what do you think it means to live deliberately?

Experts foresee late-season surge in avalanche danger
summit daily news
Avalanche experts expect to see a late-season surge in avalanche danger today with a forecast of snow and wind in position to create easily triggered storm slabs in the Vail and Summit County zone.
"This is a rapid increase in avalanche danger, and you will need to reassess the snowpack and make conservative terrain choices until these storm instabilities subside," Colorado Avalanche Information Center forecaster Tim Brown stated in his Saturday morning report. "Don't let your guard down because it's mid-April and you expect spring conditions. The snowpack doesn't know what date it is."
One to 3 inches of new snow are possible today with increasing winds throughout the day and gusts upwards of 35 mph in the afternoon, according to National Weather Service forecasts.
Several skiers triggered wind slabs on Thursday and Friday when the avalanche danger was rated low or moderate throughout much of the Vail and Summit County zone.
The avalanche danger fell to low last week following an increase in temperatures and a break from heavy snowfall.
Avalanche experts have warned all season of a weak base layer creating instability and variable conditions in the backcountry, saying the potentially unstable foundation would stick around through the end of the snow season.
They say those deep persistent slabs are difficult to trigger, but can cause more serious slides.
Summit County is the second deadliest county in the state, behind Pitkin, in terms of avalanche fatalities and Colorado is the deadliest state in the country, according to a CAIC analysis of avalanche statistics between 1950 and 2012.
Local rescuers urge anyone who sees or triggers an avalanche to report it immediately to help prevent unnecessary and often expensive search operations.
"(We) want to know about these slides and strongly encourage all backcountry users to report them as soon as possible after they occur," Summit County Rescue Group (SCRG) spokesman Charles Pitman stated. "Failure to do this leads to costly and time consuming efforts to make certain that no one was injured and/or buried."
Unlike wildfires, causing an avalanche is not illegal.
But when an unreported avalanche is sighted, local rescuers, sometimes with the help of Flight For Life helicopter crews, launch a full-scale search response to ensure no people were involved.
Rescuers encouraged the public to report all avalanches not involving burials to the Summit county dispatch non-emergency number at (970) 668-8600 with the location of the slide, approximate time it occurred, the approximate size and the fact that no one was injured or buried as well as a contact number.
Call 911 in the event of an injury, burial or emergency.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.
If you don't follow the rules, your comment may be deleted.

Dunn was more vulnerable to late-inning relievers than Beckham was, although that might be weighted against Dunn in that teams were more likely to bring in specialists whose job was to get him out while teams generally did not change pitchers to focus on Beckham.
At the end of the day, Dunn was a black hole offensively. As a third-place hitter, he hurt the White Sox over the course of 2012. If you are relying on his stats to tell you otherwise, you are misinterpreting them. If hitting home runs is pretty much all you do offensively, 41 over six months, doesn't guarantee you are helping your team. No one has ever had a lower batting average while leading the league in walks. In my lifetime, I have never seen a championship team that played most of the year with a No. 3 hitter hitting .204.
And Adam Dunn led the league in unproductive outs.
The best way to win games, unless something changed, is to score more runs than the opposition. Dunn scored far more runs and knocked in far more runs.
Beckham's defense is becoming the stuff of legends. He is a vacuum. He is fantastic at turning the double play. He has a very strong arm for a second baseman. He also has very, very limited range. He isn't even the best defender, relative to position, on the team. Rios and Ramirez are far better defenders. Ramirez is a far better defender at a far more important position. Compound that with Beckham being among the very worst hitting second baseman in baseball, and he has little to no value.
I know you don't like Dunn. I don't really like him either. I'd prefer a more versatile hitter. However, to say one of the worst players in baseball is more important is just ludicrous. By any measure besides power, Gordon Beckham is pretty awful.

What's lovely about this alphabet made from camera parts by London graphic design student Stefan Abrahams is that it organises a camera's beautiful internals as carefully as one should frame a picture. Each letter has a camera part, you can see the viewfinder as 'D' and the shutter curtain as 'R'.
What are the other letters?
