Starting in January 2012, business owners will begin getting new tax forms issued by their credit-card and online-payment processors and intended to keep businesses from hiding income. The form, called 1099-K, will document all 2011 transactions processed for sellers with more than 200 transactions and $20,000 in annual gross receipts. The IRS estimates that 53 million forms will be issued by such processors as eBay, PayPal, and Amazon as well as credit-card companies, says Steven Aldrich, chief executive officer of Outright.com, which makes online bookkeeping applications for self-employed people and small business owners. Aldrich spoke with Smart Answers columnist Karen E. Klein about how small business owners should handle the new forms.
The new 1099-K requirement was signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2008 but is just now taking effect. Why is the government mandating this?

Where is Mauricio Taricco now?
A no-nonsense defender who played for Ipswich Town and Tottenham Hotspur, Mauricio Taricco first hung up his football boots in 2004.
He then moved to Italy and had four seasons in their lower leagues before returning to England in 2009 to assist former Spurs team mate Gus Poyet who had been appointed manager of Brighton and Hove Albion.
Due to a number of injuries at Brighton, Taricco had to come temporarily come out of retirement and ended up playing 15 games for them before finally retiring for good in 2011.
Check out these great deals on replica football shirts and grab yourself a bargain.
In July 2013, Mauricio Taricco left his assistant manager's post at Brighton and Hove Albion after Poyet left the club but was back in football in the October as he rejoined Gus Poyet as assistant manager at Sunderland.
Taricco left the club in March 2015 when Gus Poyet was sacked by the club after a bad run left them perilously close to relegation.
However, Taricco wasn't out of work for long as he joined up with Gus Poyet once again just six months later at Greek side AEK Athens.
After Poyet fell out with the club's president at the end of the 2015-16 season, he moved onto his current club Spanish side Real Betis, bringing Taricco with him as his assistant once more.
The pair had a tough time in Spain and Poyet was sacked in November 2016 after his Betis team suffered a series of losses on the pitch leaving them just two points off of the relegation zone.
Tarrico was on the move once again in November 2016 when he joined up again with Gus Poyet when he was appointed as the new head coach of Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua.

I can't believe that a week from today I will be going to Guatemala with Compassion International. One week. I am hopeful, excited, and more than a little nervous. Post-Guatemala I have one day at home before heading to Oregon for the Building Champions Experience. As you can imagine, it is going be crazy trying to get out of town for essentially two weeks.
So…I am going to take a brief hiatus from blogging. I just feel compelled to be quiet, to prepare my heart, and to refuel my soul. Things that don't necessarily come naturally to me.
Until Monday friends!

The initial reaction to the swine flu outbreak in Mexico is that it may be a headline risk, according to Tim Conder, managing director of leisure equity research at Wachovia Capital Markets. He said that the media generated a significant amount of negative headlines for a couple of months in 2002 surrounding a Norovirus outbreak, which, he said, turned out to be a stomach flu. More than half of the Caribbean itineraries include calls in Mexico, according to Cruise Industry News, in addition to the Mexican Riviera cruises, accounting for up to 25 percent of all cruises worldwide. While more than 100 people have reportedly died from the swine flu in Mexico, schools have been closed in New York, California and Texas following outbreaks among students who are now recovering. A dropping stock market has also been attributed to swine flu concerns.

Another Twist!
I was never really happy with Alice's special ability (she "zaps" two tiles adjacent to her). It didn't really seem to create many interesting new possibilities, which is what a good game element should do. Here's a look at what we're experimenting with now. Getting the board to rotate correctly was actually quite fiddly, but it works well now.
I keep saying "Alice" by the way, but we're considering changing the character's names. Peter and Alice were (fairly obvious) references to Peter Pan and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, a reference to finding yourself in a strange world where different rules apply. The strange world is still there, but the story has become a little more involved and will now deal with redemption and reconciliation. There will also be two new characters, a "guide" type character (that will be playable) and an enemy.

Hey guys... I love this Website, and I've lurked long and hard, but now I've got a question I can't seem to find elsewhere. I tried the zbrush/Sculptris forums, but for some reason it won't let me post new threads, even though I registered.
Anyhow, I am pretty new to Sculptris, and I am working on this psuedo-feline sort of creature. I wanted to make a variation of this creature that was mounted for riding. The first thing I did was to create a sort of "bit" coming out of the side of its mouth. After sculpting a saddle and collar, I decided I didn't want the bit coming out of the sides of the mouth anymore.
I have tried every Sculptris tool, but I can't seem to get rid of the damned polygons there. Seeing as there is no cut/cop/erase tools on Sculptris, I don't know what the hell to do.
Here is a close-up picture of the trouble area... as you can see, it's been "smoothed" to a point, and I can't seem to get rid of that damn pointed area. It's also very difficult to use the grab tool in a precise way without messing up the surrounding geometry.
Anyhow, sorry for the long description! Please let me know any possible solutions to get rid of this.

Togolese road project 'to reinforce regional trade'
15 January 2010
The African Development Bank (AfDB) has approved a UA 23.31 million (£22.5 million) grant to Togo to rehabilitate the Aflao-Sanve Conji-Benin border road.
According to the organisation, this will help the country to develop its deep-sea port as a regional transit point.
"The AfDB contribution will enable Togo to play a key role as a trade corridor for landlocked countries such as Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, as well as for other countries such as Ghana and Benin Republic," the statement read.
Support for Egypt's agricultural sector in the form of a $70 million (£43 million) grant was also imparted in the same AfDB session in Tunis this week.
Integration of this area should also be aided by a project to rehabilitate and develop the corridor between Ouagadougou, Bamako and Dakar, which le Soleil has revealed should be advancing soon.
The news source reported that the infrastructure and transport ministers from the three countries met this week in Burkina Faso to discuss the creation of a definitive blueprint to the project.

|Numbers 11
King James Bible
Chapter 12
And Miriam and Aaron spake17 against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married:1 for he had married1 an Ethiopian woman.
And they said,4 Hath the LORD indeed spoken14 only by Moses? hath he not spoken14 also by us? And the LORD heard4 [it].
(Now the man Moses [was] very meek, 6035 above all the men which [were] upon the face of the earth.)
And the LORD spake4 suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out3 ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.4
And the LORD came down4 in the pillar of the cloud, and stood4 [in] the door of the tabernacle, and called4 Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.4
And he said,4 Hear3 now my words: If there be a prophet among you, [I] the LORD will make myself known101 unto him in a vision, [and] will speak17 unto him in a dream.
My servant Moses [is] not so, who [is] faithful12 in all mine house.
With him will I speak17 mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold:55 wherefore then were ye not afraid1 to speak15 against my servant Moses?
And the anger of the LORD was kindled4 against them; and he departed.4
And the cloud departed1 from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam [became] leprous,30 [white] as snow: and Aaron looked4 upon Miriam, and, behold, [she was] leprous.30
And Aaron said4 unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay4 not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly,8 and wherein we have sinned.1
Let her not be as one dead,5 of whom the flesh is half consumed11 when he cometh out2 of his mother's womb.
And Moses cried4 unto the LORD, saying,2 Heal3 her now, O God, I beseech thee.
And the LORD said4 unto Moses, If her father had but2 spit1 in her face, should she not be ashamed11 seven days? let her be shut11 out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received11 in [again].
And Miriam was shut11 out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed1 not till Miriam was brought9 in [again].
And afterward the people removed1 from Hazeroth, and pitched4 in the wilderness of Paran.

With the poet's permission I have translated the poem into Chinese:
While Trespassing I Note the Sadness of Old Fences by Robert Okaji
I write poems when I can, 我作詩盡可能
in late morning or during 在中午左右
the afternoon, between chores 工作之餘
but before dinner. And sometimes 晚飯之前。有時
I duck through spaces 我會閃出
void of wire barbs, and consider 鐵絲的倒刺間
how to fill the incomplete, which words, 考慮怎樣填字
what materials could repair 用那內容彌補
those particular holes. I cut my own 某短缺。一次,
fence once, to access our house 我需破欄回家
when the creek flooded the road, 小溪泛濫淹沒了路
lugging uphill through the snake 我拖上山坡穿過蛇草
grass a jug of scotch, my mandolin 一壺烈酒,我的曼陀林
and a watermelon, essentials for a weekend's 一個西瓜,假日必需品

If the season ended today, Billy Hamilton would most definitely be in line to become the first Reds player to win the National League Rookie of the Year Award since reliever Scott Williamson did it in 1999. ESPN analyst and former general manager Jim Bowden must agree with this logic because he recently pegged Hamilton as the best National League rookie in the 2014 class.
On Friday, Bowden published this piece highlighting who he believed to be the top 12 rookies in Major League Baseball. Although Hamilton ranked first among National League players, the speedster ranked just seventh in Major League Baseball overall. In fact, Hamilton was the only player on the list not to hail from the American League.
Needless to say, Hamilton picked a good season to make his full debut. The National League rookie class is about as weak as it has been in recent memory and that spells good news for Hamilton's chances of winning some hardware. Outside of Hamilton, who is batting .275/.311/.400 with 22 RBI, 19 XBH, and 30 stolen bases, Arizona's Chris Owings (.282/.319/.466) is really the only other rookie who might be close to Hamilton in the pecking order. Of course, that has the potential to change with Pittsburgh's Gregory Polanco being recently promoted. The guy can flat out hit, but he does have some ground to make up in the race.
Do you think Hamilton will end up winning ROY honors?

I am deeply saddened by the dire straits of puzzle games. Although the genre itself remains almost as old as video games themselves, how often have you seen a pure puzzle game released in this day and age? Usually, we relegate the concept to a simple door switch or box pushing puzzle of yore, but games like Tetris still have the ability to show us something amazing and marvelous. There's a purity and fun behind simple pattern recognition with a cutesy aesthetic that I can accept any day of the week. People who played Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack/Pokemon Puzzle League, or Dr. Mario, or any of these sorts of games knows the joy of this. Best of all, there's really no upper limit to the skill you can obtain; one can always make improvements to their game due to the element of randomness. Or, you might say, they encourage replayability that became utterly foreign the moment narrative driven games took front and center in the marketplace.
So, to wit: when I saw Magical Drop V, for example, pop up on Steam, I was amazed and baffled at the same time. The last English release of this series came on the Neo Geo in Magical Drop III – that was fifteen years ago. Heck, the company that made the games, Data East, went bankrupt TEN YEARS ago. I never even had the chance to play the games, given that they're exclusive to a platform that you needed to play in arcade or dump huge amounts of money to play at home. Furthermore, every port comes from Japan (yes, I have a Japanese PS2, but I'm not paying 30-40 dollars) remain expensive, and the recent Data East collection for the Wii went out of print before you could blink.
Thank you, Ignition Entertainment and Golgoth Studios!
Apparently, the game released in an entirely horrible, buggy, and nearly unplayable state, but now the game works rather brilliantly AND has local and online competitive play with up to four people. Tell me if that doesn't sound awesome. Or not, if you've never played of these games before.
What's so cool about Magical Drop (other than sound like some kind of illicit substance)? To wit, it's the first competitive puzzle game. Think about it: arcade goers aren't likely to plunk their quarters/tokens into a versus game with no balance. You can't just wander into the game and expect to win; there's an endless mode, sure, but the only real way to play Magical Drop comes from friends in competition (or now, complete strangers who always play the game more than you!).
So, to make this screenshot make more sense:
Let me describe. Your character moves from left to right on the bottom of the screen. The goal, at its most basic, consists of chaining three orbs of the same color together – doing this piles additional orbs onto your opponents screen, giving them less breathing room and less time to think. Depending on what character you choose, different patterns appear on the other side of the screen.
One button take an orb, another releases it into a row. You can gather as many orbs of the same color as you like, but you cannot gather another color until you release the ones you already picked up. The orbs scroll from the top down; if they get too close to your player character, you lose. If your quota of orbs (marked in the middle) remains higher than your opponent, you also lose. In both cases, it's a race against variable time based on your opponent's skill. You need to think quick and fast.
Of course, advanced play doesn't merely come from chaining three as fast as possible (although yes, doing several of those in a row nets you a multiplier). Setting chains of orbs in advance will net you a higher score as that breaks up the orbs in the fastest way possible. Thus, recognizing patterns, finding out which orbs to save and how to position orbs for better combos and chains means pattern recognition. And, let's say, there's not a lot of games nowadays that really encourage this same sort of stress, fury, and execution all at the same time. That doesn't even begin to mention the Ghostlop characters. Taking their style from an obscure (and unreleased) Neo Geo title, they don't take the orbs so much as bounce them off the walls. Chaining works the same, but the orb bounces off orbs of different colors, thus meaning accuracy under pressure. Some say they destroy the game balance; to me, they simply add variety, although their mechanic can certainly change the tide rapidly. You can literally "lop" off a whole section of orbs by taking out the ones above it. Thank God for patches, huh (otherwise, somebody somewhere's tearing their hair out trying to beat the Ghostlop variant).
Honestly, I'm trying to think of another pure puzzle game like this that came out last year, and I'm coming up blank. If you can point one out that sold well and ACTUALLY was mentioned by the mainstream press (Magical Drop V most certainly received no coverage at all), please point this out to me. Puzzle games became a dying breed, and I don't know why. Well, I suppose we could call Angry Birds and its smart phone ilk "puzzle games", but they're not like the ones of old. They're basically brain-teasers at a basic level, and not so much a full-fledged game with scoring that matters.
This has much to do with the way we perceive social mores in the modern day as well. Haven't you noticed the lack of love for games in abstraction? Games that don't bother to attach a narrative or some kind of social/moral statement into the game? Out of all the indie games I have played, the two I enjoyed the most received little to no recognition at all from any internet resource I ever read: Noitu Love 2 and Offspring Fling. These games didn't try anything new; instead, they refined a style that already existed and did an absolutely brilliant job. Noitu Love 2's brand of Gunstar Heroes plus crazy shmup with mouse and keyboard controls works incredibly well and offers a great challenge. Offspring Fling revives that age old puzzle platformer – games like Donkey Kong for the Game Boy seem like obvious influences, although the game strikes a unique brain challenge all its own. Yet, I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who even knows it exists, especially Noitu Love 2, a five (!) year old game I just recently played.
That, I imagine, isn't too far from the fate of the puzzle genre – it doesn't attach a story of any import or seriousness. It cannot create a purposed narrative – how, exactly, could you attach it? I guess Catherine counts as the closest example, but it's a single-player experience with set challenges, not a game one can return to again and again. Once memorized, you're done and done with the whole shebang.
Or, you might say, we've overcomplicated life. We've assumed that, like our video games, life need not but fun and simple, but complex and depressing. We always accept the maxim that "life doesn't have easy answers"…why? Because authorities and everyone else around us tells us that this, in fact, represents the state of affairs. We were sure that we had the answers, but then we doubt and we "fall off the wagon", so to speak. Instead of fighting for what we believe, we merely give into pressure and admit "well, I guess I'd better be a little more tolerant and understanding".
Not that this is a bad thing! When this impulse (developed or no) becomes an impediment to truth, then we never give a definite answer to anything for fear of offense or our own lack of understanding. Life becomes too complicated to give a definitive answer to anything. Yet Christianity, at its core, remains all about truth. When you read John 8:31-2, there's a beautiful simplicity to it:
31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
We find, furthermore, that doubt in our convictions leads to ineffectiveness and inaction; a complicated world means a constant desire to vacillate. James 1 tells us:
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
A person of double mind cannot help but play his part and submit to the role of experts – our culture – who tell us what to think. And what they tell us to think, unlike the Christian faith, is "my answer could never be complete, could never be something so simple that God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. It couldn't be that because of scientific negation. Or because multiple religions exist, and by their very existence cast our own into doubt. We find ourselves in a circle, and find ourselves closed and shut out to the wonders of everything outside that circle (hence, why I find the focus on one doctrine of Christianity to put one in a prison). The madman doubts and thinks and rationalizes his thoughts. He remains closed inward; the world, too complicated for his comprehension, becomes perfectly rational and logical: nothing can be true, then.
But yet, in our hearts we can't think that way. What person, encountering Christ, can find themselves in the circle of complications? As G.K. Chesterton says in his book Orthodoxy:
As we have taken the circle as the symbol of reason and madness, we may very well take the cross as the symbol at once of mystery and of health. Buddhism is centripetal, but Christianity is centrifugal: it breaks out. For the circle is perfect and infinite in its nature; but it is fixed for ever in its size; it can never be larger or smaller. But the cross, though it has at its heart a collision and a contradiction, can extend its four arms for ever without altering its shape. Because it has a paradox in its centre it can grow without changing. The circle returns upon itself and is bound. The cross opens its arms to the four winds; it is a signpost for free travellers.
And that is the thing we must do. Life's not a puzzle, but an adventure; life's not a string of ever-increasing complications, but a simple term and a simple message. It is the complications we create and manufacture that place us into a position of doubt. In that sense do we find the paradox of simplicity and freedom skipping hand and hand down the road of humanity's journey. That was how it was in Christendom for thousands of years; why should it be any different now?
So, what say you? Please post some comments and tell me why I should think otherwise?

The two Co-Founders of Twitter have launched two new websites, 'Medium' & 'Branch'
The two sites serve as sort of 'companion' services to Twitter, in so far that you have to use your twitter log in to sign up and in to the sites.
The Branch website will be a platform for Twitter users that like to talk a lot, those that are more vocal. It means that you won't have to butt in to other people's conversations and there is no 140 character limit which means you can have longer more in-depth conversations.
Medium will allow members to post articles, pictures and media, but it allows you to collaborate in that you can choose whether you want people to be able to add their media to yours or if it's just you that can post. Think of it as a publishing format, but crossed with Pinterest. It's a very interesting idea, and of course, you will need to sign in with your Twitter.
Currently both sites are in beta, invitational only phase, you can of course request an invite, but take your time, relax, the sites look as though they are built to be smooth and serene, so try to take them that way.

Pet and I tend to work strange hours, and that often leads to us planning on doing all kinds of things on Saturday, only to blow it all off in favor of sleep. It's a frustrating habit that we've been trying to break. Last Saturday proved to be an exception.
We were awake by 7:30 in the morning, which is usually only obtainable by gunpoint, or by the needs of the job. But both of us were wide awake and ready to climb out of bed at that time. A few weeks prior I'd had the urge to go see Mount St. Helens, but Pet wasn't into it. This weekend, I gave her a list of options: Mount St Helens, drive up the Gorge and see the waterfalls and Crown Point, the Mcloughlin House, or something else, but we had to get out and do something.
Pet chose Mount St Helens, and by 9:30 we were off and driving. It's about a 2.5 hour drive, or about 130 miles, which is nothing for us to drive. We expected some delay in the drive, it was the weekend they closed the I5 in Vancouver, but traffic was light, and we made good time.
Originally we'd discussed stopping at the southmost visitor center a few miles off the I5, getting Pet some of the back story, and then progressing up to the mountain, but we ended up going straight up to the Johnston Ridge Observatory, with the intention of stopping at information spots and viewpoints on the way down.
If you're unfamiliar with the Mount St. Helens eruption of 1980, I've included a few paragraphs at the very end of this post explaining what went on.
I'd been to Mount St. Helens a few times before, but the last time was 1995 or 1996, so the Johnston Ridge Observatory hadn't been built yet. As far as I know, it's the closest place casual observers can get to the mountain, and still have a building. You can hike a bit closer, but only so far, as the actual mountain itself is off limits unless you're a scientist.
Or an Elk.
A quick readup on the observatory mentioned there was going to be costs involved, $8 per person to go inside, and another $5 for the day use pass because St Helens is a national monument. Pet and I were prepared with cash on hand.
Turns out admission was free on June 8, because it was National Get Outdoors Day. when we went inside, a helpful Forest service guy did confirm that there was no cost to visit that day. Bonus!
We enjoyed a brief talk by a cute English gal about the technology related to tracking the volcano, and then went inside to see the 16 minute video about how the eruption happened. The video was ok, and the sound was awful, but the end was pretty neat: once the video ended, it raised a big curtain and you could see a breathtaking view of the mountain.
We exited the auditorium behind this big tree. This is one of the trees blown down in the blast, and it's oriented in the observatory the same way it was when it fell. The mountain is on the left side of the photo, out of range.
On the right of the photo, you can see some photos mounted vertically that look like matchsticks. Well, you can kind of see them. Those are the trees that were blown down by the blast. When I was a kid, they were a lot more prominent as you drove into the blast zone, and they made a heck of an impact. at the observatory, there are stories of the survivors on that wall, recounting how they survived the blast.
So where are my photos of the mountain, you might be asking? Well, here's the shot I like best. Taken with my crappy phone, which I don't take very good photos with.
It was a great day to see the mountain; often there's cloud cover or fog, but today was clear, sunny, and warm, so the shots were perfect. It was nice enough we didn't need jackets, although when we hiked Johnston Ridge to get up top, it was pretty windy. This photo is about 4 miles from the mountain, 6 from the summit. It's as close as we could comfortably get.
Pet and I have not gotten used to taking front facing camera photos. Even though this is a crap photo, I'm putting it up here, so if you hate it, just scroll past it.
The best way I can describe this is a compass, but I don't know if that's exactly what you'd call it. It's at the top of Johnston Ridge, and it points out all the things of interest, and how far you are from them. For example, the Mount ST. Helens summit is 6 miles (9.7 km) from where we were, and Spirit Lake was 3.8 miles (6.1 km).
From the top of the ridge, there was a back trail leading back to the parking lot, so Pet and I took that down. This is just a photo of some pretty red flowers that were growing all over the area.
At this point, Pet and I were getting hungry. We'd eaten at 8:30, made it to the mountain by 12:15, and it was about 2pm when we left. So we figured we'd make a few quick stops, and then head somewhere to eat.
The last time I'd gone to see Mount St Helens, I'd gone with my mother, and we'd visited the Coldwater Observatory. It was the closest you could get to the mountain at the time, and the Johnston observatory was being planned, but not yet constructed. I'd originally thought Pet and I were coming here, but then I read that they'd closed it a few years ago. The Folks staffing Johnston told me it was open weekends, so we went.
It was kind of a disappointment. There was another theatre, with films being played, but we didn't really want to sit down and watch them. There were a few panels describing the wildlife that returned to the mountain, and the really creepy "AI" forest service person. It's a dummy dressed like a member of the Forest Service, but it has a blank face. There's lips and nose, but no other features, and they project a face on it. When I was a teen, it was a guy, but this time it was a woman. It crosses the uncanny valley, so we moved on.
Most of the displays and exhibits had been removed, and the few that were left weren't working. We talked to the guy manning the info desk, and he told us that when they closed the center down in the 2007, most of the exhibits went into the trash. The Coldwater Observatory was built in 1993, and most things were put on laserdisk. They had trouble transferring that data to the more digital age, so that stuff went away.
We'd seen the Forest Learning Center on the way up, but we chose to stop on the way down. I don't have any photos of the building, my thumb covered them all, but I would say this place is one of the more interesting exhibits up in the Mount Sr Helens area. It's a private enterprise, a partnership between Weyerhaeuser, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and Washington Department of Transporation. You walk into a beautful lush looking forest, and then go into the small theatre, where they play a 4 minute film showing the devastation around the Mount St Helens eruption. From there, you walk out into a recreation of a logger trying to cut down a tree that was blown down by the eruptiion, and it has exhibits about the aftermath of the eruption.
I was glad we stopped, because while I'm familiar with the eruption and the aftermath, having grown up in the Pacific Northwest, Pet had not, and the other film we watched really didn't covered what happened to people. So she got to see another side of the eruption.
The photo above is taken from one of the Forest Learning Center's elk viewing areas; we weren't in the mood to climb the small bluff for the best lookout, so we just looked over the railing. That's the Toutle River, which was a victim of the eruption. It used to be a much cleaner, nicer river, but the mud flows that went down it pretty much wiped it all out. Now it's home to scrubby brush and elk.
The last place Pet and I stopped was the buried A Frame. It was nearly complete when the eruption happened, and when the Toutle River was filled with mud, it buried the A Frame almost 5 feet deep. Whar you see here is a stagnant pond, because the parking area here is almost 5 feet higher than the base of the A frame. Needless to say, these folks never moved in.
Next to the buried A Frame, in the same parking area, is Bigfoot. He's about 30 feet tall, and made of concrete. There apparently was a Bigfoot sighting back in the 90s, and that's what prompted the statue. That's one hell of a smile on Bigfoot. I wish I'd parked our car in front of the statue, it would have made a great size comparison.
Once Pet and I made it back to Castle Rock, we skipped the first Volcano Learning Center, and headed back down I5 to get dinner and go home. By the time we made it home, it was 7:30, so we'd been gone 10 hours, and we were tired. It was well worth the trip though, free admission, beautiful day, lots of history to be had.
I realize in this post that I didn't cover a lot of the history of Mount St Helens, so if you're not from the United States you may not know much about what happened. Even if you're in the United States, the eruption is less of a big deal in most places because it happened more than 30 years ago, and with the exception of a few small eruptions in the mid 2000s, it's been quiet ever since.
On May 18, 1980 at about 8:32 am, Mount St. Helens in Washington state erupted. An earthquake helped the north face of the mountain slide away, and then the eruption happened. The eruption was a lateral blast, and it, added to the landslide of the north face, the pyroclastic flow, and the flash melting of the glaciers on the mountain, caused devastation as fast as 14 miles from the eruption point.
The mix of super heated steam, ash, rock, mud, etc splintered the trees in the nearby areas, depositied hundred of feet of debris into canyons and channels, sent a wave 600 feet high up the sides of the canyon Spirit lake was in, and sent hundred of thousands of tons of mud down the Toutle River. The mud eventually dumped off into the Columbia River, decreasing it's depth to 1/3 of normal The ash blanketed the eastern portion of the Pacific Northwest, turning noon into night in Yakima, Washington, and sending ash all around the world within weeks.
Fifty seven people lost their lives, including David Johnston. Johnston Ridge is named for him, his famous last words were over the radio when St Helens erupted: "Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!" They never found his body, but they did find portions of his camping trailer in 1993.
In 1982 the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument was established as a place of remembrance and education. Aside from a few hiking trails, viewpoints, the highway through the blast zone, and the observatories, the area is left untouched, so it can studied, and people can observe how an area recovers from such a large scale disaster.

Amazon launched a new mobile phone, the Fire Phone that could be a true "game changer," not just for mobile communications or retail sales but also for freight transportation. Let me tell you why.
Unlike other cell phone manufacturers, Amazon is looking for e-commerce business, not mass profits from mobile phone sales. That is the raison d'etre for this phone. Like Apple, they have created an entire ecosystem. Unlike Apple, their ecosystem is not based on selling just computer hardware and software such as iTunes, iPads and iPhones. Amazon wants their hundreds of millions of registered users to buy books, consumer electronics, toys, household supplies and toasters from their massive warehouses of products.
Amazon has a huge inventory of data on consumer preferences and purchasing behavior. It can tailor its marketing messages to specific target markets and then cross-sell them on purchasing other lenses for a camera or tennis clothes to go with the purchase of a new tennis racquet. Amazon's Firefly technology allows the user to point the phone at an object and then be transferred to an Amazon website that will sell you the product. This is a neat trick (e.g. clever software) that will allow impulse buyers to obtain instant gratification.
Last but not least, the purchase of the Amazon Fire phone provides the user with a free one year subscription to the Amazon Prime $99 a year freight delivery service. So as the user sees a product in a magazine or store, the Fire Phone can take you immediately to a website that will sell you the product and suggest others that you may like. With another click on the Fire, the user can then arrange to have the goods delivered to their home or office within two business days. Clearly the Amazon Fire is trying to create a new e-commerce business model. Like every other new business model, it will take some time to gain traction. If, and more likely when it does, it could dramatically change the world of freight transportation.
The Amazon Fire will allow consumers to "point, shop and ship" almost anywhere, any time. The speed and simplicity will appeal to anyone who prefers to look at a photo and shop without going to a mall or even searching online to find an object. Of course, the Fire Phone has a number of other interesting features like 3-D imaging and an enhanced camera so it can compete with other mobile phones....

I am for same sex marriage, who gives a shit as long as the people are happy!
@Hopeless_Son We do have a great amount. But they're for their own interest
Ok ok ok I'm not actually "against it" because I respect gay people and think they get hate just for being different(I'm a christian) but I just think nothing has happened that we should allowed gay marriage really.
@TMPBeats I was just talking about how the stigma factor in encouraged and is still encouraging the DL lifestyle. That's why HIV has been hurting the black community way more severely since the 80s.
These forums are being invade by /r/atheism.
mostly because it encourages a higher rise of AIDs and HIV.
…so wouldn't you be against everyone with AIDS or HIV getting married? It's not exclusive to gay people. I'm not trying to derail the thread, but…
Macklemore – Same Love
@DorPuok Most RG members are young and democrat left wing mentality. They all liberals so starting a thread and expecting there would be two sides is dumb. Course 99% of RG is for gay marriage, anyone who says otherwise will get downvoted like a mofo
@TMPBeats Nothing has happened? Murder, Torture, and bullying has happened. The least you Christians could do is let them get married. Its not like God is gonna destroy the U.S. for passing a Gay Marriage Law.
@WhiteMike69 The thing is… There isn't a real argument against it other than bigotry.
@WhiteMike69 and anyone who's against it are usually christian, bigot, homophobic losers.
@ProEraNoError Or rednecks.
@WhiteMike69 Yeah I know, But my girl left me & I'm Bored
@ProEraNoError Or all three
