If you love the magical world of the Harry Potter series and the mythical action of the Percy Jackson series, you will also lose yourself in the world of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. But, wait, the well-read reader will say, isn't he the guy from the first Harry Potter book? Is this some knock-off? Actually, Nicholas and his wife, Perenelle, were real, live people in the 14th century and inspired the legend that they discovered the secret to eternal life when their graves were opened and found empty. Taking this legend and running with it, writer Michael Scott (no, not the guy from The Office) creates a unique world that's so real you can smell it.
Like most series of this kind, it centers on someone ignorant to the magical world around them, a world you learn about as they learn. In this case, it's two someones: 15-year-old twins Sophie and Josh. The series begins with The Alchemyst as Sophie and Josh are unwillingly dragged into Nicholas Flamel's world. They witness the kidnapping of Perenelle and the theft of the mysterious Codex, a book that contains not only the secret of the Flamels' immortality but also much darker and more dangerous secrets. They make an enemy of John Dee, who used to work for Queen Elizabeth I, and must accompany Nicholas on his journey to save his wife, the book and the world. They meet the teenage inventor of martial arts, along with other "gods" and "goddesses," both good and bad. The longer they spend in Nicholas's world, the clearer it becomes that they have the untapped power to play a much larger part in the coming struggles.

Broomfield, CO - December 12, 2012
Webroot, a leader in delivering Internet security as a service, today announced an expanded Webroot Channel Partner Program that makes it easier and more cost-effective for managed services providers (MSPs) to deliver managed data protection. By offering cloud-based Webroot SecureAnywhere Business – Endpoint Security with a host of new technologies from remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform providers including LabTech Software, MSPs can now quickly and efficiently deploy a "single pane of glass" for managing all of their customer's endpoint security.
"Webroot has taken an innovative approach to endpoint security," said Matt Nachtrab, LabTech Software CEO. "The integration of Webroot SecureAnywhere with LabTech RMM is an ideal combination of solutions for our MSP partners."
The IT channel has radically transformed over the past several years, with MSPs becoming one of the preferred approaches to procuring IT services for organizations of all sizes. This new approach to IT spend, combined with the increase in global Internet security threats now requires end-customers to allocate a significant portion of their budget to protect users, monetary assets, data, and intellectual property with a robust endpoint security strategy. In Webroot, MSPs find a partner that helps deliver a highly effective weapon against viruses and malware in an easily-deployable solution that is also simple to manage remotely, and priced competitively.
Traditional endpoint security software is often the root cause for unplanned downtime and performance issues. As a result, many MSPs have been reluctant to add endpoint management to their portfolio of services. By expanding the Webroot Channel Partner Program to MSPs, Webroot is introducing a service that uniquely and appropriately addresses many of the historical challenges that MSPs have faced – allowing them to add this to their portfolio, generate new revenue streams, and maintain margins.
With Webroot SecureAnywhere Business – Endpoint Protection, MSPs can now take advantage of RMM providers like LabTech Software to deploy and manage endpoint security across multiple domains, customers and offices from a single, centralized consoles and location in single window view – something no other solution offers. The value to these MSPs includes lowered costs, increased productivity and increased recurring revenue stream. Webroot supports and delivers the integration of Webroot SecureAnywhere Business – Endpoint Protection with LabTech Software RMM solution.
"Webroot is the perfect partner for MSPs looking to make endpoint security a profitable portion of their business instead of the loss leader that it is today," said Jeff Santelices, vice president of Webroot Worldwide Demand Fulfillment. "With our advanced cloud security technologies and market-leading network of partners that include LabTech Software, our customers gain exceptional management automation and superior support while being completely protected against advanced threats and disruptions."
Key Webroot MSP Channel Program benefits include:
- Competitive Advantage – Expanded managed service offerings including a leading endpoint protection provider. Webroot helps MSPs differentiate and grow their service capabilities with enablement, marketing and sales resources.
- Management Automation – Simplified managed services business with trusted Webroot solutions, integrated seamlessly with RMM platforms, enable MSPs to deliver a "single pane of glass" view for managing endpoint security.
- Advanced Threat Protection – Cloud-based Webroot SecureAnywhere Business – Endpoint Security provides rapid deployment and scans without ever requiring security updates or signature database downloads which consume network bandwidth and leave users exposed.
- Improved Availability & Uptime – Purpose built for MSPs, Webroot solutions install and protect in seconds, easily co-exists with current software, and is optimized for virtualized environments.
- Complete Customer Satisfaction – Webroot's proactive, predictive and intelligent support SLAs enable MSPs to quickly address items before they become issues, thereby reducing costs and delivering improved services and user experiences.
To learn how your organization can partner with the very best security solutions provider on the market backed by dedicated and responsive sales and support teams to accelerate your business growth, visit Webroot today at webroot.com/partners.

I searched for a Fluke 8508A but could not find one.Today I wrote to Fluke if there is a chance to still get one.
... I never opened it but...
Nice meters guys, I'd love get something precision as you have there Now these three aren't mine, just what I can use at work:New Agilent U1232A, almost year old Brymen BM867 and about 4 year old Fluke 117. The BM867 still remains the only one who can accurately measure mA currents, which is ultimately the reason my employer bought it, although I really wanted it for the 500 000 count mode but we don't really need such precision around here. The new U1232A brings some interesting features, currently I love the tone option of low resistance beeper, it works on diode range too. What it does is it beeps at various frequencies depending on the resistance value or voltage drop of diode. When you try shorting the probes and opening quickly it generates sounds like some old 8-bit game console edit: I forgot to add a bit about the probes. Those which came with the Fluke aren't really durable for daily use. We have 4 of them here and all of them sooner or later started to break up, I think all in the same place which is at top of the probe as the wire goes out. I guess the strain relief is not really working. You can just chop them off and use the cable for something else like small hooks for example, because the cable itself is good and has silicone coating. Few weeks ago we were shopping for some better replacement and found the convertibles TL175. They are really good, hopefully they will last longer. I think they're worth the higher price. Don't forget to get the version with screw on bannanas, for my work they are essential. BM867 came with some cheaply looking altough 1 kV CAT IV rated probes. I don't like them much so I rather got some generic UNI-T which you can see in the photo. U1232A came with more stiff probes, end is similar to the Brymen's, I guess that's for the CAT IV rating. Nice thing is they come with rubber protections ends for both sides. They also have isolation inside for the jack to multimeter so accidental unplugging from meter when still measuring something live should be a bit safer. I rate them above the UNI-T's but not as good as any of the Fluke's.
http://www.pa4tim.nl/?p=4159 picture backsideMy new 6 digit voltmeter. Is there someone who knows more about is. It has not a moving coil meter ( i do not know the englisch term, it is sort of thermic, there ia a coil or resistancewire, I think this heats the circulair formed strip and the shaft is connected to the end of that iron strip, if the strip heats it expands and moves the shaft ( in Dutch weekijzeren kern meter or 1:1 translated weak-ironcore meter)It draws about 300 mA at 6V. I think they are used automotive to test batteries. I think it is from the 1920's. There is no brandname on it. The back opens if you push the top and the test wire is spooled on a reel in there to store it.Resistance wire and test wire is cotton isolated, no rubber or so.
My next target is to buy a true rms high quality meter, perhaps it will be FLUKE 87 or 179.
What do I do when I bring new instrument. Today buy:https://picasaweb.google.com/100683312221737332313/34401A#
I just got a HP 3457A, and it's bang-on. Dave.

Albany region's transportation future could be fueled by planes, trains, bikes and buses - Albany Business ReviewOne of the dreams for the Albany region? Tearing down Interstate 787. Some of the more pragmatic goals? More flights from ALB, better public transit and more walkable downtowns.
Before we make good on cockamamie ideas like turning an interstate spur which is vital for tens of thousands of cars per day into a boulevard with traffic lights on it slowing traffic down to a crawl, let's build a metro system so people can get around quickly and efficiently, and don't have to be dependent on cars. Between RPI, U Albany School of Engineering, The College of Nanoscale Science, Global Foundries, and GE here in Tech Valley, a metro system could be a living laboratory for transit technology to be developed here. That will give this region worldwide importance for major cities like London, Paris, Munich, Beijing, Manila, Sydney, etc. That could become our crown jewel. If we had something like that, then last year's proposal for Albany to become the second headquarters for something colossally huge like Amazon could actually work here and be feasible.

SPOKANE, Wash. - Police in Spokane, Wash., have arrested one of two teens suspected of fatally beating an 88-year-old veteran of World War II who had survived the battle for Okinawa.
Authorities say the two young men, between 16 and 19 years old, approached Delbert Belton in his car at random Wednesday night outside an Eagles Lodge as he was waiting for a friend.
Belton was found by police with serious head injuries and died in the hospital Thursday.
Belton's senseless death has struck a chord nationally and sparked outrage on social media.
"He fought for this country," said Belton's sister, Alberta Tosh, on Friday. "Then he comes home and a couple of creeps kill him in the worst way."
Spokane Police say they have surveillance images of the attackers. Police have released few details about the person they arrested, other than that he is a juvenile male being held on charges of robbery and first degree murder.
Belton was born and raised in Spokane and joined the Army during World War II. Tosh said he was shot in the leg on Okinawa, site of one of the fiercest battles of the war in 1945.
"He was shell-shocked real bad," Tosh, 78, said. "But it got better."
After the war, he spent 33 years working for Kaiser Aluminum, before retiring in 1982.
In retirement, Belton loved to dance, play pool and repair old cars, family members said.
"He was very active and everybody liked him," said niece Pam Hansen. "He'd never think about harming another person."
Belton was called Shorty by his friends because he was little more than 5 feet tall, Hansen said.
She believes he was targeted by the assailants because of his age and size.
"He was defenseless," Hansen said.
A friend, Ted Denison, said he was planning to go to the Eagles Lodge when he heard Belton had died.
"He put his life on the line for our country to come home and 60 years later? Get beat to death?" Denison told The Spokesman-Review. "That's not right."
Denison, a veteran himself, said he used to tease Belton about his membership in the Eagles Lodge, saying that place was for "old fogies." He didn't make it to the lodge in time.
"I don't care who you are, you don't beat up an old man," Denison said. "You're supposed to respect your elders, not beat them to death."
Another close friend, Lill Duncan, said she can't imagine what drove anyone to kill him.
"He lived his life every day to make somebody else happy. It wasn't all about him. It was about what he could do for everybody else."

The economy stinks. GDP fell 3.8% last quarter and experts believe the decline this quarter will be even worse. But recessions don't last forever, and we'll be coming out of this one long before official statistics say so. That's just the way it works. Most economic data like the quarterly GDP reading are lagging indicators. What you need are leading indicators that will signal when we've made a turn. (See pictures of the stock market crash of 1929.)
So far, there's been little evidence to suggest a bottom is at hand. But with this recession well into its second year it's not too early to start looking for signs of a recovery. The earliest clues will be anecdotal you have to park farther from the mall entrance; your contractor takes longer to return your calls. Real evidence would follow. Here are 10 indicators to help you know when times are getting better

Licensed Professional Counselor
Life brings tough times to everybody at some time. My experience as a therapist spans over the past 12 years. I consider counseling as a partnership working with you to improve and solve the difficulties you find yourself in. Perhaps, you are interested in finding out more about yourself, the way you see the world around you, or the origins of your behaviors. In counseling I use developmental theory focusing on personal functioning within the relationships of family, community and work. As a professional counselor I believe that every human has the capacity to attain a fulfilling life. I know, it is important for you to reach your therapeutic goals quickly, and I will make every effort to help you reach your goals in an efficient, and effective way. My past work includes outpatient settings, private practice, and online counseling. I work with individuals, couples and families. I also see adolescents 14 years of age and older. I graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2002 with a Master's degree. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CCMHC), an EMDR Certified Therapist, a Distance Credentialed Counselor (DCC), and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in the States of Maryland and Illinois.

Here are 7 random things:
1. What's with the moniker? KJ is a long time nickname from highschool. My blog is ad-free and I need to keep my blog separate from my day job as a litigator. So that's why I post under this name.
2. Weakness #1: A Tim Horton's Apple Fritter. If I am State side, a Bob Evans Cinnamon Bun.
3. Weakness #2: Young and the Restless. There I said it.
4. While I have a licence, I haven't driven in a decade. I am a fan of public transportation - so, was my grandfather. I took a bus to his funeral. My kids are used to taking buses and streetcars - but Miss Lily says when she grows up she will be a "driving mummy", just like Sid's mum on Sid the Science Kid.
5. I learned to sew on an old Singer in grade 7. My dad bought me a Kenmore in grade 8 and I have been using the same machine since.
6. First blog crush? Probably the Little Green Notebook. Second: Ikatbag. Her post about the Princess Pavillion is one of my favourite blog posts and I still think about it. Can you imagine waking up from a nap and finding a pavillion?
7. I like to enter contests. As newlyweds in university, my husband and I entered a curry recipe in a Kraft Dinner contest. We called the dish New Delhi Dinner. We won a pallet of white macaroni and cheese from Kraft (about 60 boxes or so).
The rules require me to pass on these awards to seven other bloggers.
I read alot of blogs and I try to be very careful to give credit and point out to you bloggers and particular posts that I find inspiring. As this is the only place where I can bend the rules, I am going to pass this on to two bloggers who I just discovered this weekend. Maybe I just disqualified myself from the award, oh well.
These posts reminded me of the magic and simplicity of a backyard birthday party.
Project Project posted about a sweet robot birthday party for her little girl and Restless Risa posted about a Cowboy Birthday Party for her little guy.
I loved both of these posts. I think you will find them inspiring too.
Have a great day,

Libreville lēbrəvēl´ [key], city (1993 est. pop. 362,400), capital of Gabon, a port on the Gabon River estuary, near the Gulf of Guinea. Primarily an administrative center, it is also a trade center for a lumbering region. The city was founded in 1843 as a French trading station. Freed slaves were sent there, and in 1848 it was named Libreville [Fr.,=freetown]. It was the chief port of French Equatorial Africa before the development (1934–46) of Pointe-Noire , in the Congo. Gabon's school of administration and school of law are in Libreville. An international airport is nearby.

Police who chased a man before he jumped into Parramatta River and drowned say he may have been linked to a suspicious luxury car found minutes earlier.
Officers on patrol located an abandoned white BMW about 3.45am (AEDT) on Thursday in Nordica St, Ermington, in Sydney's west.
Their suspicions about the vehicle led them to pull over a taxi about 30 minutes later in the same street.
Police approached the cab and began making inquiries when a woman and a 31-year-old man ran from the vehicle.
"Police clearly had suspicions as to the occupants of that cab (and) whether (they were) related to the BMW that had been found abandoned," Acting Assistant Commissioner Dave Eardley told reporters in Sydney.
The woman was stopped a short distance later, but the man led officers on a foot pursuit for about 50 to 100 metres to the edge of Parramatta River.
It was very dark and by the time they reached the river's edge, they had lost sight of him.
They searched the embankment and alerted the Dog Squad and Water Police to assist in the search.
The man's body was found in the river about 1.5km east of where he was believed to have entered the waterway.
"Anytime you have someone who loses their life through something so meaningless is always a tragedy," Mr Eardley said.
Police have formed a critical incident investigation into the man's death.
No shots were fired and police would not comment on what raised their suspicions about the BMW.
A number of items were seized from the scene, including a handbag and jewellery, but police would not comment if robbery was a factor.
The man and woman's relationship was unknown, police said, and they are working to determine if alcohol or drugs were a factor.
It was not known if the taxi driver somehow signalled police before they pulled him over, but detectives expect to interview him.

Today you turn 5 years old. To say that you matured a lot this year would be an understatement. You have blossomed over the last 12 months in ways that I never imagined.
You are kind and good mannered to everyone you meet. I can't tell you how many people tell me that you are the sweetest little boy they've ever met.
The bond that you and I have is insane. Every time I sit down, within minutes you've climbed into my lap. You tell me constantly how much you love me. (You always say, "I love you 178" because I think that's the biggest number you know.) You are mommy's boy through and through. When we snuggle, it's almost like you just melt into me. You love with no reservations. You love so openly and so intensely. It's my favorite thing about you.
Nothing gets by you. If I paint my toenails, you are the first to notice and compliment them. If Sadie gets a haircut, you gush over it. You have a knack for making people feel good about themselves. You always see the good in situations.
You are quite possibly the funniest person that I know in real life. You do it all without even trying. Quite often we find you talking in Spongebob speak. For instance, when you drop something on the floor, you say, "Oh, barnacles!" or "Oh, tarter sauce!" and it cracks me up every time. You wiggle your body in little dances when you think that no one is looking and know the words to every top 40 song.
Some of your favorites right now are:
candy: plain chocolate bars
food: pigs in a blanket (which you ordered for your birthday dinner) and ham and cheese sandwiches
thing to draw: rainbows- which you draw in the correct color order, over and over and over
person: mommy, of course. Followed by Sadie.
activities: swimming, playing outside, playing computer games and having your friends over.
Over the last year, you learned how to write your name, recognize your numbers and most of your letters, swim on your own, started AWANA at church on Wednesday nights, made lots of new friends, started four year old preschool and played on your first soccer team.
I'm just so proud of the sweet little boy that you are. You are going to do big things with that giant heart of yours!
Noah's 2011 Birthday InterviewEvery year, I give my kids a little interview on their birthdays. I hope that it will be a great way for me to look back and see glimpses of who they were at every stage of life and see how they change over the years.

Noah: I do not know. I like to kiss.
Me: What do you think about world peace?
Noah: I don't know about that either.
Me: What is your favorite TV show?
Noah: SpongeBob and Victorious
Me: What do you like most about school?
Noah: The gym and outside. Which those are the same. Which I don't really like playing outside because of the playground.
Me: What is your favorite thing about yourself?
Noah: Go ask Sadie.
Me: What is your favorite song?
Noah: All the Kidz Bop.
Me: If you could have any super power what would it be?
Noah? Fly and lava and ice. Cause then if someone tried to hit me I'd fly up over them. Or if they tried to get me, I'd freeze them. Then I'd do the same thing with fire.
Me: What is your very favorite thing to do?
Noah: Go play on the bouncies at Puzzles and Chuck E. Cheese's
Me: What are you most afraid of?
Noah: Dinosaurs. Real ones. If they are alive.
Me: What is your favorite thing about Mommy?
Noah: You take us to fun places.

Maritime Heritage CentreFrom an undistinguished piece of land to a showplace for Campbell River, the Maritime Heritage Centre has had a remarkable evolution.
The Maritime Heritage Centre project began in 1998 when the District of Campbell River (now the City of Campbell River) solicited ideas for potential uses for the land near the Discovery Pier. The land had been the site of the old sewage treatment plant, since relocated to an area north of town.
Master Shipwright Buford Haines
Buford Haines was described as a teacher, mentor and friend to everyone who knew him. His career as a fisherman and boat builder gave him great joy and satisfaction. Haines was born in Spallumcheen (near Armstrong, BC) on May 22, 1924.
He lived in Bella Coola and Naramata before settling in Heriot Bay in 1936. Buford was instrumental in the reconstruction of the BCP45.
The restoration of the BCP45, the seiner that graced the back of the Canadian five dollar bill from 1972 to 1986, was a test of Haines' skills as a shipwright and foreman. The now gleaming vessel, housed at the Maritime Heritage Centre, has been officially declared a national historic site.
"Pretty well everything, right from the keel up is all new," Haines once said. "All the planks, all the decks, all the beams, 90 percent of the ribs. I would say there's close to 15,000 board feet in it.
Follow us on our
BCP45 a National Historic Site
the Government of Canada designated the fishing boat BCP45 as a National Historic Site. Official presentation of the plaque finally took place on May 22, 2010.
The BCP45 is the only known example of a wooden seiner (in its original configuration) still in existence, a class of vessel intimately associated with the commercial west coast fishery during the 20th century that has all but disappeared from use. Canadians may remember seeing an image of the BCP45 on the Canada five dollar bill from 1972 to 1986.

The Maritime Heritage Society is proud to announce that the building of this amazing facility has been documented and is now in print. Come to the centre to check out this wonderful book!

Allen (Ollie) Chickite
Working on the BCP45 off and on for over 40 years and being the final skipper of the vessel, he was the man who was probably most instrumental in bringing the BCP45 back to Campbell River.
Chickite was 14 when he first signed on as a cook aboard the BCP45, working 11 years under skipper and cousin Mel Assu.

Counting the cost as the floods recede
As emergency services searched for two men feared drowned in southeast Queensland, thousands of displaced residents camped in evacuation centres last night, anxious about the state of their homes.
The two men, aged 25 and 34, set out from Gatton, 90 kilometres west of Brisbane, early Sunday morning.
It's not clear if the men knew each other or were travelling in convoy, but both failed to arrive in Mulgowie for work.
A car, belonging to the 25-year-old, was pulled from flooded Sandy Creek, about 19 kilometres south of Gatton, on Tuesday afternoon.
The disaster has claimed four lives to date, including that of a three-year-old boy who was hit by a falling tree.
A boat skipper has been missing in waters off Rockhampton since Thursday.
With the floods across southern and central Queensland due to recede from Wednesday, teams trained to find earthquake victims are waiting to sweep flood-bound homes in Bundaberg amid fears elderly or disabled people could be trapped.
The four urban search-and-rescue teams will soon be deployed to the flood-hit sugar city, where 2000 homes and 200 businesses have been inundated, leaving 7500 residents displaced.
Police reinforcements have also been sent to the tornado- and flood-ravaged region after four properties were hit by suspected looters.
The swollen Burnett River peaked at a record 9.53 metres at 7pm on Tuesday.
In Brisbane and Ipswich, where rivers peaked below forecast levels beneath blue skies, the sense of relief among flood-weary residents and business owners was palpable.
No homes were inundated in Brisbane, although water flowed into streets and yards in Milton and West End.
The inundation of an estimated 59 properties in West Ipswich was regarded as a miracle by local councillor Paul Tully.
He visited Enid Street where residents had moved what they could to higher ground.
"We're talking about a street that had water over the roofs two years ago, and there isn't even any water on the street," he said.
The Logan River was due to peak at nine metres at the Larry Story Bridge in Waterford early Wednesday morning.
Only one home had been undated by 11pm. Cherly Edler and her partner James Gaffney managed to move many of their belongings from the lower level of their house, before the waters moved in.
They sat on their verandah drinking rum and cola, watching the river rise on Tuesday night.
Hours earlier, southeast Queensland residents were asked to conserve water after silt forced the closure of Brisbane's main treatment plant at Mount Crosby.
The remarkable situation developed days after the city was soaked by torrential rain.
The treatment plant resumed limited operations by 9pm, but authorities continued to warn seven suburbs – Tarragindi, Camp Hill, Carina North, Mount Gravatt, Tingalpa, Rocklea and Oxley – could run dry.
Queensland Premier Campbell Newman has paid tribute to the resilience of residents, who in some cases have weathered four floods in three years.
"It's incredible to see the spirit of Queenslanders out on the streets of their cities and towns as they grapple with what is a big crisis," he said.
Smaller towns, like Eidsvold, Gayndah, Mundubbera and Monto, have been doing it tough as they battle floods and supply problems.
With the floodwaters progressing through central Queensland's river system, the town of Condamine, west of Chinchilla, is facing a 12-metre river peak on Thursday or Friday.
As the flood waters recede from the coastal towns, attention will turn to the huge damage bill and recovery task.
Already, 9800 insurance claims have been lodged in Queensland worth a combined $116 million, according to the Insurance Council of Australia.
The damage to infrastructure is still being assessed, but it has been estimated the bill will run into the hundreds of millions, without counting crop and livestock losses.
Mr Newman has urged people to donate to the government's Queensland Flood Appeal being coordinated with Red Cross.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Governor-General Quentin Bryce are expected to visit flood-affected regions in Queensland in coming days.

Simulation predicts the Boston Bruins to win 2011 Stanley Cup

The Growth of USA Hockey

The Washington Capitals made our NHL simulation engine look like a fool last postseason. Alex Ovechkin and company were landslide favorites (50.92 percent) to win the 2010 Stanley Cup. They then fell to the Montreal Canadiens in the first round.
Well, Washington is back as the number one seed in the Eastern Conference and perhaps our NHL simulation engine has a score to settle. Of the 1,001 bracket simulations, the computer predicts the Capitals possess a meager 40 percent chance of beating the New York Rangers in the first round. Who says simulation engines can't hold grudges in the "what-if" world?
Using our NHL simulation engine we played the entire 2011 NHL Playoff bracket 1,001 times. Home ice advantage and re-seeding have been taken into account. The simulation engine generated each teams' chances of advancing to the next round and overall chances of raising Lord Stanley's Cup.

Favorites to Win 2011 Stanley Cup - Win Percentages
|1st Round
|Cup Finals
|(3) Boston Bruins
|(1) Vancouver Canucks
|(2) Philadelphia Flyers
|(5) Nashville Predators
|(6) Phoenix Coyotes
The top five favorites to win the Stanley Cup are a nice mix of the Eastern and Western Conferences' best.
The six seed out of the West, Phoenix Coyotes, finished the simulation with a 2.3 percent chance of winning it all.
The Nashville Predators have one of the best goaltenders in the business in Pekka Rinne and a solid defense around him. Thus, the Predators buck the trend of never reaching the second round and have a 5.99 percent chance of sipping sweet champagne from Stanley.
The Philadelphia Flyers struggled down the stretch with a 7-7-6 record, but the depth of their offensive attack is second to none with eight forwards owning at least 19 goals during the season. The Flyers have over an 11 percent chance winning it all.
The Vancouver Canucks led the NHL with 54 wins and unlike their fellow number one seed, Washington, they actually competed in the 1,001 simulations.
The brothers Sedin and Robert Luongo in net will need to be at their best for the Canucks to live up to the 35.8 percent chance of taking the cup.
The Boston Bruins defense will be the reason they win the Cup. Our simulation engine must be love with their 2.3 goals allowed per game average. Out of the 1,001 simulations, the Bruins won the Stanley Cup 35.9 percent of the time just ahead of Vancouver.
Remember with so many players pending for the playoffs, like Sidney Crosby for Pittsburgh, these results could vary.

A few weeks ago I overheard a woman say (online) that she cleaned her basement and subsequently "threw out 10 bags of broken, crap toys!" The comments that followed applauded her efforts. I'm not sure if they were happy that she cleaned the basement or that she discarded numerous toys, but I couldn't help but feel saddened that so many "broken, crap toys" were on their way to the landfill.
I can't say I've never thrown out a broken toy myself, but generally speaking I try to make an effort to acquire toys that are the antithesis of "crap" and, thus will stand the test of time and, once they've lived out their time with us, can be given away to someone else (or saved for my kid's kids…someday). Of course some less than stellar toys inevitably make their way into our house, but 10 bags of junked toys seems like a lot to me.
It had me wondering, is this scenario the norm or the exception? What do you think?
According to Earth911, "Recent studies show nearly every household purchases at least one toy a year (often more), and toy sales in the U.S. in 2007 totaled to $20.5 billion." How many of those toys make their way into the landfills?
I have to admit that I feel guilty every time I throw a broken anything into the trash. I know that throwing something away doesn't really make it go away. There is no "away." It just means that it's going to sit in a landfill or in an ocean somewhere for years and years and years. That bothers me, which is why I try to avoid it. (If you haven't yet watch The Story of Stuff, I highly recommend it.) This is also why this weekend I was trying to Freecycle a bunch of stuff that we're no longer using.
I wrote a bit about my process for getting rid of stuff in the post "Decluttering your house, the green way."
Even if I know the garbage can is my last option for stuff, I still feel bad about throwing it out. I hate to think about it ending up in a landfill and staying there forever, but then I also have to be realistic and not completely beat myself up over it. It's a good reminder to make wise choices when buying things and think:
* Do I really need this?
* Is it good enough quality that it will last for years or will it break after a year and have to be replaced?
* Should I save my money for a little while longer and buy a better quality item that will last me longer?
* What will I do with it when I no longer need it (or when it breaks)?
Of course this is a bit harder when you have kids (and toys) and it's not always practical to go through this list every time you buy something, but it's a good practice to get into and will help to avoid unnecessary purchases in the future. It can also help you avoid buying cheap, plastic toys that might as well go directly from the assembly line to the landfill for as long as they are usable. But don't get me started about those. ;oP
Good toys vs. Junk toys
Jennifer Lance wrote Green Family Values: No More Junk Toys! and offers some tips on how to tell a good toy from a junk toy:
How can you tell a junk toy from a good toy? Field naturalist Alicia Daniel offers the following list of questions to ask when selecting toys:
- Will this toy eventually turn into dirt-i.e., could I compost it? Stones, snowmen, driftwood, and daisies-they will be gone, and we will be gone, and life goes on.
- Do I know who made this toy? This question leads us to search for the hidden folk artist in each of us.
- Is this toy beautiful? Have human hands bestowed an awkward grace, a uniqueness lacking in toys cranked out effortlessly by machine?
- Will this toy capture a child's imagination?
So what do you do with the old toys?
Earth911 has some tips for recycling toys including:
- passing them on to other family members
- donating them
- repairing broken toys
- or selling them.
They also list the benefits of recycling toys.
Think before you buy
I think the best advice though is to think before you buy. I know not every single toy purchase can be a thoughtful/practical one, but if you can change that so the percentage of thoughtful purchases is increased by 25%, 50%, 75% or more, think of how much crap that will keep out of the landfills. Also, you might want to consider the carbon footprint and the safety of the toy. How far did it have to travel to get to your toy store? If you live in the United States, could you buy an American-made alternative instead? There have been a lot of recalls of toys in the past several years. When you buy well-made, quality toys, you reduce the risk of a recall.
Children and consumerism
Mrs. Green from My Zero Waste in her post A Plastic Frisbee for the Landfill wrote:
I have to say, this is something that concerns me about 21st century life – the massive volume of 'pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap' toys that our children are growing up with. They last a few days at best and then become 'rubbish'. Our children are bought up to look for the next fix and move on to the next thing, like good little consumers. I wonder how we can ever solve the landfill issue until we pull back from so much mindless consumerism. We try and stay away from it as much as we can, but we can't live in a vacuum or turn our child into the village freak.
I agree. I don't want my children to be turned into mindless consumers, which is why I support the Campaign for a Commercial-free Childhood, but I also realize they cannot live in a vacuum and I don't want them to be ostracized by their peers.
So, what's the solution?
Think before you buy, have a plan in mind for what to do with a toy when your child is done with it, and remember: everything in moderation.
One of my favorite Native American proverbs is, "We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children." Yes, a cheap plastic toy might make your child happy for a few minutes or weeks, but how happy will it make them in 20 years when their generation is responsible for cleaning up the mess that resulted from all of those cheap plastic toys?

Emotional Intelligence
Mar 30, 2017
I've been absent in the blog world for some time now. I had to take a break because life is hard and I needed to find my own sense of clarity. Because I needed to learn how to put my emotional needs first, after all no one can pour (or write) from an empty cup. Blogging is my outlet, my "me time", and in a world of parenting I am sure most parents if not all understand the need for "me time". What I was not prepared for in the blogging world was the negativity and the hateful comments via

Angela Hunt – My Role Model, My Hero
Dec 28, 2016
To say that my mother is my role model is an understatement. A more accurate description to illustrate the impact she has on my life would be "hero". If I become half the woman and mother my mom is, I will consider my life existence a success. As long as I can recall my mom has not only been a single mother to myself and my younger brother, but also puts others wants and goals before her own. I can count on one hand (with fingers to spare) the number of love interests she was seriously

Why did you choose to come to the Coast Guard Academy? Ever since attending the Marine Academy of Science and Technology in New Jersey I knew that a military career was of interest to me. I began looking at my options and the Coast Guard Academy fit my goals and ambitions the best. I thought the Coast Guard's missions were unique and knew it would be very rewarding to be a part of such an accomplished service.
How long have you been sailing? How did you start sailing? I started sailing in fourth grade at a local community club in Belmar, New Jersey. My mom had asked me if I wanted to try the program, I did and I have been sailing ever since.
What is your favorite thing about the sailing team at Coast Guard? Until I came to the Academy I only participated in local regattas and never moved past these community-size events. I like being challenged every day in practice to constantly make improvements and refine sailing tactics and strategy.
What other activities/positions/clubs are you involved with on campus? I am part of the Aviation Club, Night Caps Jazz Band, Ski and Snowboard Club, Scuba Club, Cadet Activities Council, Regimental Band and I help with set construction, light design and lighting crew for the fall play and winter musical.
What is the sailing achievement that you are most proud of? Having the opportunity to sail aboard USCGC Eagle.
What are your future sailing plans and career goals after graduation? I want to stay on the team for the next four years and continue to improve. After graduation I want to keep sailing. I hope to do some off-shore racing after graduation.
Tell us something that your teammates would be surprised to know about you. I once was an actor at a haunted house. I was painted bronze and played a statue.

Woodstock's EXTRA-Sensitive Singer/Songwriter
Can a voice transport you to another place or time? There is substantial evidence that it may. After his performances, Eric often gets remarks such as, "Boy, you really took me back to the first time I.....had an awkward, fumbling back-seat experience....heard THAT song.....had wisdom teeth out.....cheated on my taxes....." And it seems to be because Eric's original compositions have a way of reaching right into your heart and mind to give expression to feelings and thoughts you never thought you'd be able to articulate.....but there they are: in one of Eric's tunes! And the tasty cover songs he plays can stir those same emotions. This experience can come upon you in many ways. His CDs and mp3s are for sale right here on the STORE page. There's also his growing list of YouTube videos.
But nothing matches the experience of a live performance, whether it's in your living room in front of all your friends and family, or at one of the many public venues who host Eric (you can get an idea of what that event is like here). Yeah, a voice can do that!

Tired of riding alone, I searched out a local Saturday club ride for this past Saturday. I found the OC Rebel Riders. Not sure what the rebellion is about (American flag on the website??), but there were 80 riders in the park (Irvine) when I got there at 8am. I went with the longest ride they had, 57 miles. The route went over to the coast and back, twice, via different routes. About 20 in our group. Most were really friendly. I stuck with the faster guys on the climbs and tried not to annoy anyone too much on the descents. My front shifter broke so I've been stuck in my small front ring. Tough on the fast sections on PCH.
This photo is from Dana Point harbor, the mid-way point. I don't know if I've ever seen so many roadies in one place. My 15-mile ride back from the end was HOT. I think my face was on fire.

Tioga Pass road opens Monday in Yosemite Park
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) – After a winter of light snow, a major road in Yosemite National Park is set to open on May 7, nearly six weeks earlier than last year.
Officials say Tioga Pass Road will be cleared by noon Monday, allowing visitors to enter through the park's east gate.
Tioga is the eastern gateway to the park, and a popular, scenic east-west crossing of the Sierra Nevada.
It normally closes for the winter. At nearly 10,000 feet, it's the highest highway pass in California and snowfall is generally so deep that road crews are unable to plow it until late spring.
Park officials warn that snow and icy conditions still exist at higher elevations.
All campgrounds and commercial services will remain closed.

Mountaineering Boot Sizing
I don't think I have such incredibly abnormal feet, 10.5 EE US ("high volume", "high arch", "wide"), but as it turns out sizing mountaineering boots is a giant pain. Period. Perhaps mostly because I don't live in Colorado or Chamonix, but also because it's difficult to find all the boots you want to try on in any one place, and except for out West, good custom boot fitters are hard to find.
I spent most of last year regretting not buying a pair of used Scarpa Invernos on sale from Whittaker Mountaineering. I figured size 10 UK boots with an Intuition "Thermofit" style liner would probably have fit fine. I'll never know. I tried on pair of the Scarpa Omegas and they were far too narrow in the mid-foot. A local EMS had a single pair of 11 US Invernos with the non-thermo ("low altitude" cordura / open cell foam) liner, again they seemed a bit narrow but potentially with molded Intuition liners they would've been fine.
I borrowed a pair of older Koflach Degres (10 UK) all winter for ice climbing here in the Mid-Atlantic and for a Lee Vining trip, but the old liners were quite packed-in and they never seemed wide enough, plenty of toe room though. I "vacationed" to a mountaineering shop in Keene Valley, NY and tried on both the La Sportiva Baruntse and Spantiks. I think the size 45.5 EU Spantik was pretty close, but it's hard to say, apparently thermo-molding the Spantik liner is a bit tricky, whereas the Baruntse's Palau liner is apparently much easier to mold. Dane Burns on his Cold Thistle blog has many more in-depth reviews (of boots, tools, apparel, climbing lore, etc) and has many more thoughts and years experience than I could hope to ever have on the subject.
The Baruntes were too narrow. I wore the Spantiks for a couple of days around the house before ultimately finding a pair of barely used Koflach Arctis Expes (11 EU) for 1/5th of the price, that felt incredibly good; wide, wooly, and wonderful on my feet. In Alaska above 14k I paired them with the Forty Below K2 Neoprene Overboots and my feet were warm. The boots were definitely too big though, probably almost a whole size and a half. But again, my toes were warm, so it's probably better to err on that side of things. It was a heavy combo, and didn't leave a lot of feel for technical climbing.
Which brings me to the present.
What is a good 4 season'ish "all mountain" single boot here? I've been checking out the Scarpa Mont Blanc GTX. It does indeed have a wide "high volume" fit. And it doesn't come in UK (sometimes labeled EU on double plastic boots) sizing, which is nice, as I've already established a pretty solid baseline of size 45.5 in most truly European sized mountaineering boots. The tall lacing and narrow heel seems to lock down nicely, which is good. So far I've been using the green Superfeet and they don't feel like they're reducing volume too much.
I've tried on the Scarpa Jorasses Pro GTX (45 EU), which ostensibly is a slightly stiffer lighter "more technical" synthetic boot similar to the Mont Blanc GTX (lineage is the ice climbing Scarpa Freney XT GTX). All I can say is that in size 45 the Jorasses Pro GTX were quite a bit shorter (not narrower) and I could not really tell the difference in stiffness without climbing in them outside, but it is immediately apparent that the Mont Blanc GTX is a warmer boot meant for snowier climes. And I trust in the durability of leather over synthetics in the long term usage of a mountain boot. I realize this isn't a pure ice climbing Winter boot here, but that wasn't really what I was in the market for.
So that's where I'm at right now. Waiting for the ice & snow to come in.

It probably doesn't surprise you that the most popular question we get in the springtime is when will the lawn be open? This year the answer to that question is: a little later than usual.
Because our lawn is the most heavily used green space in midtown, keeping it open to the public for as many days as possible throughout the summer is one of our top priorities every year. At the same time, we have to do all we can to make sure the lawn can stand up to that constant use during the summer months.
In recent updates, we've touched on the projects happening in the lawn area that are necessary to improve the long-term health of the lawn area and soil base, as well as the project to upgrade the entire park's power distribution capabilities for which conduits were laid beneath the lawn's surface.
The crews on the lawn are currently working on
- improvements to the irrigation system to help manage wet and muddy spots that can develop during the summer season;
- a new subsurface drainage system for the same reasons;
- and replacement of the old, deficient soil with a new sod-friendly soil profile to create optimal conditions for the sod to root and grow.
Although the lawn has typically been ready for public use by the beginning of May, these projects (and the rainy spring weather that caused a few delays) have pushed our opening date to later in the month. In the future we will return to our regular schedule.
Installation of the sod is currently scheduled to begin on May 5 and will take two days, followed by at least two weeks that are needed for the sod to root before we can open the lawn for public use. So, thank you for your patience...it will be worth it in the end.

Risk assessment
Sanctions pushed the Iranian economy into recession in 2018
In May 2018, US President Donald Trump announced the withdrawal of the United States from the Vienna Agreement signed in 2015 between Iran and the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany) and the restoration of US sanctions within 90 days (180 days for oil exports). Although this decision does not invalidate the previous agreement, it is likely to plunge the Iranian economy into a new period of recession by gradually cutting it off from the rest of the world. The first sanctions-related impacts began to be felt in 2018, and the economic situation is expected to steadily worsen. In response to the US measures, the European Union has put in place so-called blocking measures that would protect companies carrying out legal activities in Iran from the extraterritoriality of US sanctions (laws allowing non-US companies to be prosecuted abroad, provided they have a link with the US). Despite this, several European companies have said that they are shutting down their activities. At the same time, under American pressure, the main Asian partners have scaled back their purchases of Iranian oil, resulting in a decline in oil exports since August 2018. Exports are expected to fall from a monthly average of 2.1 million barrels per day (mbd) in 2017 to 1.1 mbd in 2019. The non-oil economy is also expected to suffer from declining trade and investment. Fears of a shortage of dollars caused the rial to collapse on the parallel foreign exchange market, prompting the central bank to intervene through commercial banks. The Iranian currency is said to have lost more than 80% of its value, driving up the prices of imported goods. Inflation is expected to rise again above 30%, hurting businesses and households alike.
The government deficit widens as the current account surplus narrows
The government deficit is expected to widen significantly in 2019 in view of the decline in budgetary revenues. These revenues will be hurt still further by the contraction of oil income, which represents 40% of revenues, and by the decline in non-oil revenues, which are expected to suffer from the economic recession. Rial depreciation, coupled with higher oil prices, should, however, help to mitigate the effects of the sanctions. In response to the US decision, the government is considering implementing a package of measures to support the private sector and address food and pharmaceutical shortages.
The reinstatement of sanctions is also likely to impact Iranian banks, which remain unprofitable and poorly capitalised. In 2016, the country undertook a comprehensive reform programme with the support of the International Monetary Fund to accelerate the upgrading of the banking system to international standards and strengthen its contribution to the economy. US authorities want to exclude Iran from the SWIFT network, which would prevent Iranian banks from making international transfers as was the case before 2015. Although the interbank communication network is managed by a Belgian cooperative society, it handles a large proportion of transactions in US dollars, which does not protect it from the extraterritoriality of American law. To defend European interests and maintain trade relations with Iran, the European Union is talking about setting up a euro-based exchange system that could replaceSWIFT.
Despite rial depreciation and declining imports, the contraction in oil exports, which account for 80% of total exports, will cancel out the current account surplus almost completely. Iranian reserves are decreasing but remain comfortable (14 months of imports).
US sanctions weaken the Iranian President
The American decision to withdraw from the Vienna Agreement will not be without consequences for Iranian policy. The restoration of sanctions has seriously weakened President Hassan Rouhani, who was re-elected in 2017 for a four-year term, and his government. Under pressure from Parliament, the Ministers of Labour and Economy were dismissed in August 2018. The President also had to defend his economic record before MPs. On that occasion, Ayatollah Khamenei reiterated his confidence in him, but Mr Rouhani seems to have lost a large part of his supporters in the reform camp and remains prey to criticism from conservatives. Ordinary Iranians were first in line to be affected by the sanctions and they are once again facing soaring inflation and shortages of consumer goods. There were many popular protests in 2018 and more are expected in 2019.
Iran's relationship with the Sunni countries in the region is expected to remain tense, but the country will continue its efforts to cooperate with European and Asian countries to limit the impact of sanctions and its isolation.

Alabama loses highly rated quarterback recruit
Highly rated high school quarterback Ricky Town has backed out of his commitment to Alabama and is expected to sign with USC, ESPN reported Saturday.
Town, the No. 2-ranked pocket passer and No. 22-ranked player overall in ESPN's Junior 300, announced his decision on Twitter and later confirmed it to ESPN.
Today I have de-committed from Alabama. It was an honor to get to know Coach Saban and the Alabama fans. Thank you!— Ricky Town (@RickyTownQB) January 25, 2014
Alabama may be on the verge of replacing the loss of Town, however. ESPN also reported that former Florida State quarterback Jacob Coker, who backed up Heisman trophy winner Jameis Winston, was in Tuscaloosa on Saturday as he considers transferring to Alabama.

Alabama is looking to replace three-year starter A.J. McCarron.
Town, a 6-foot-4 quarterback from Ventura, Calif., had been reconsidering his commitment since Alabama offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier left for Michigan, ESPN reported. He visited USC on Saturday and the Trojans have made him a priority for their 2015 class. He also has offers from Arizona State, Georgia, Florida State, Miami and Texas, according to ESPN.

MItt Romney is a very, very rich man.
Here's how rich.
The website Wealth-X says he'd be the third richest person to run for president since George H.W. Bush in 1989.
Romney hasn't released his tax returns, despite Sarah Palin's recent call for him to do so, but if he did so they might simply confirm his estimated net worth of $250 million means that he ranks in the top 3,140 wealthiest people in the county, meaning, among other things, that he's technically part of the 0.001 percent.
