Welcome to Bear Country
Solo camping in the Sierras' Little Lakes, a 6.5-hour drive north of S.D.
Veronica Remsbottom 8:43 p.m., March 26
For every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing. — Friedrich Nietzsche
It was a cruel thing to do, but I don't blame him. I doubt he understood the ramifications of typing those words and hitting "send." Or maybe he did — you never know with Ollie. I might have held off on viewing the message had I not been charmed by the subject line, "in terms of cuteness..." I coaxed my cursor and clicked to read the simple sentence that would purloin hours of productivity: "You're going to want to look up 'sugar gliders.'" I had a lot to do. I should have waited until I'd at least responded to a few emails before opening Google and typing in the two innocuous seeming words.
The moment my eyes alighted upon the first picture of the velvety squirrel-like creature with huge black eyes, itty-bitty paws, a thick, fluffy tail, and webbed flesh on each side that allowed it to sail through the air, all thoughts of to-dos evaporated from my mind. How had I never come across this adorable critter before? I clicked on every link and thumbnail photo I could find. I learned the sugar glider is a marsupial — a bit of trivia that, for some reason, only made the thing seem cuter. Then I found out they live as long as cats and that people keep them as pets. As pets! I pictured myself relaxing on the couch, watching a movie, when suddenly, my very own sugar glider floats across the room from where it had perched atop my television, lands on my lap for a bit of a cuddle, and falls asleep in my hands as I absentmindedly stroke its fuzzy little head. Then I frittered away more time researching how to care for them and where I might acquire one. It didn't matter that — like the almost as adorable but just as lovable ferrets — keeping sugar gliders as pets in California is illegal. I wanted one.
I don't know how I'll die or when, but chances are there will be some kind of fluffy, cuddly animal involved. My prognostication is not mere whimsy; it's based on an extrapolation from past events. When I was four, I stood in a neighbor's garage and patted the ears of their St. Bernard until the beast became irritated — expressing his displeasure, he knocked me onto my back and pinned my neck to the ground with his teeth. Stitches were needed to reconnect the torn edges of my throat. My parents were horrified, but even at four, I knew guilt, and I blamed myself for antagonizing the animal. As soon as I was well enough to go out and play, the first thing I wanted to do was pet the doggie again.
Two years later, curious to see how my family's new puppy would react to a neighbor's giant, fluffy, white cat, I collected the huge Persian into my arms and carried it over to where our puppy, Penny, was tethered to a pole in the back yard. The cat freaked out, bit my arm, and then used my face as a launching pad to rocket into the air. This time, the doctors had to suck some kind of cat-tooth poison from my arm before sewing one of my eyelids back on. When I was 13, my front tooth was busted in half when, after leaning forward to pet my friend's mini-Lassie, the stunted pup suddenly leapt at my face. As the dog was unable to find purchase on my face from that weird, flying-through-the-air angle, and as I was in a sort of open-mouthed surprise at the time, our teeth collided. It was one of the funnier moments of my life, and I chuckled all the way to the dentist.
My most recent animal-inflicted wound was the work of a fat, furry rodent. It happened in November 2005, when my sister Jenny and I went to Balboa Park to feed the squirrels and take some pictures of the wildlife. But that wasn't enough for me. I wanted to touch one. And not just any one, but the big-ass fluffy one that was bold enough to come right up to me and put his tiny toes on my hand. As a reward for my affection, the cutest squirrel in the world gave me one tooth-punctured nail and finger, and several scratches on my arm, from what I'm convinced was an attempted hug. My epitaph will read, "Here lies Barbarella, dead for her inability to resist cuteness."
"Animals are your kryptonite," David said as we drove my new Mini toward Ocean Beach. "And anything sparkly," he added as an afterthought. I wondered if he was aware that the dog-per-person ratio would increase dramatically once I veered toward Sunset Cliffs, which was not only the direction of our dinner destination, the Third Corner, but also of both an immense dog park and the popular Dog Beach.
"You saying I'd let something cute or sparkly get the better of me?" I prodded.
"I'm saying," David said, sitting up in his seat, "that if, when you were buying this car, those dealers had set a puppy on the counter and told you to pay twice as much, you would have signed the paper without blinking. Or tearing your gaze from the puppy."
"Nonsense," I said. "Hey! Dog's head out the window, to your left. It's a Siberian husky. I love huskies. Aren't they beautiful? Are you looking?"
"I wish I had a video camera at the ready to catch all the times you dork out over an animal. How 'bout you look at the road?" David said in an I-told-you-so tone of voice. "But isn't she beautiful!" I shrieked. "Yes, you are! Aren't you? Yes, you are!" I baby-burbled at the husky.
This past weekend David and I attended a small gathering over at Kimberly and Shawn's place (a couple in the adjacent building that I have befriended since first ogling them from my office window two years ago with the binoculars David had given me for my birthday). Kim and Shawn have a large black-and-white cat. Their neighbors, Eric and Robert, have two teeny wiener dogs. Vinny, a squat black pug belonging to Gretchen and Daniela, whom I'd just met, was trotting around our ankles, hoping to catch some scraps from the table.
Not at all in a bad way, but I'm a little surprised that you're an extreme animal lover. I had always pegged you as slightly germaphobic and not someone who was ok with dirt or messes. My dog is one huge ball of flying hair onto the carpet and muddy paw prints tracked across the floor.
Not taken in a bad way at all, Snacky. I am a germaphobe, but I'm strangely selective. For example, I would never allow a dog to lick my face the way they're licking other people's faces in the video. And, because I'm allergic to most animals (see, I love them in spite of my health), I have to be fastidious about washing my hands after petting them. I've ended up with hives and itchy, watery eyes, or even asthma attacks from forgetting to wash my damn hands. But that doesn't keep me from wanting to touch them. Just today, David had to convince me to close my office window, because I'd opened it, hoping the baby birds flying by outside would mistakenly fly in the way one did a few years ago. I just wanted to see one up close, but David was right -- it wouldn't have done the poor bird any good. ;)
It's been a long time since something I read has made me laugh out loud. Great story, even if you do end up mentioning rabbits in it.
Happy to know I made you laugh out loud! Even if you gotta be a bunny hater. To the tune of, "I ain't a playah, I just crush a lot," I sing, "I ain't a hatah, I just hop a lot." ;)

HENRY VILLARD. 1835-1900, American journalist and financier, b. Germany. His first name was originally Hilgard. He attended universities in Germany, and after he reached (1853) the United States he did newspaper reporting. He won distinction in 1858 by reporting the Lincoln-Douglas debates, and in the Civil War he was a correspondent for New York newspapers. In 1873 he acted as agent for holders of Western railroad securities and soon became active in railroad financing. He organized (1879) the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company and gained a solid foothold in the transportation of the Pacific Northwest area. He then obtained a controlling interest in the Northern Pacific RR and became (1881) its president, but completion of the building of that railroad through the mountains bankrupted him (1883). With new capital Villard once more gained control of the Northern Pacific and in 1889 became chairman of the board of directors. He merged (1890) smaller companies to form the Edison General Electric Company (later the General Electric Company) and was its president until 1893. Villard obtained (1881) control of the New York Evening Post, which later (1897) came under the management of his son, Oswald Garrison Villard. He generously contributed to the Univ. of Oregon.

Tom Tancredo abandoned the Republican Party months ago over the dismal gubernatorial campaign of Dan Maes and ran instead with the American Constitution Party. But just because the election is over doesn't mean Tancredo is finished taking jabs at his former party. His latest tirade against the GOP appears in the conservative WorldNetDaily, in which he castigates former Governor Bill Owens and other Republicans for joining Governor-elect John Hickenlooper's transition team. "Selling out your party's platform and policy agenda before the first shot is fired is a form of pre-emptive compromise that ought to be called by its right name: surrender."
No wonder Dick Wadhams is considering whether to run a re-election campaign for his job as chairman of the Colorado Republican Party. Wadhams tells The Associated Press he hasn't yet decided but will announce in coming weeks. While Republicans recaptured the state House of Representatives, they lost big in the governor's race and narrowly in the U.S. Senate race. Still, Wadhams had experienced major losses before becoming the local GOP chief, finding successes elsewhere, as 5280 senior editor Luc Hatlestad reported back in November 2008. Among possible replacements for Wadhams are former state Senator Tom Wiens and former congressional candidate Jeff Crank.
Meanwhile, The New York Times writes that Wadhams has expressed "tentative" support for National Republican Committee chairman Michael Steele, who appears to be at risk of losing his post, as various party members express dissatisfaction. In separate incidents over the past year, both Wadhams and Congressman Mike Coffman, a Littleton Republican, have defended Steele amid controversy.

In nj assisted opening knives are fine, autos are not unless you are LEO, or private security. Though you may come across an officer who considers an assisted as an auto or doesn't know the actual law and thinks that both are illegal and will give you a rash of crap.
Proud Supporter: JK Knives #710 & BECKERHEAD #362
WTB Maxamet Mule/Manix
!!LOOK!!JK Knives, Customized Goodness
In regards to NJ knife laws-http://knife-expert.com/nj.txt- there is a difference between a swicthblade and an assisted opener. A swithblade natural position is open, and the blade is deployed by a button, scale or any spring within the knife. An assisted opener, the natural position is closed. It is opened by a a stud on the blade or a flipper. Most flipper assisted opening knives do not have a lock, therefore I believe it to be a gravity knife; which is illegal. However, I am a knife maker and dealer, and quality assisted openers made by SOG and Benchmade do have locks to prevent the blade from being deployed, even by vise grips. NJ is is similiar to NYC laws, if it is legal in NYC, it should be legal in NJ. However, keep a legitimate reason for carrying concealed and never have your knife clip (if it has one) exposed. Self defense is not a legitimate reason in NJ. However, if it is used for your job or a reasonable purpose (seat belt cutter) or multipurpose tool, it should be ok for pocket carry. I am not a lawyer, but these are my interpretations after discussing issues with police friends in Bergen County's pistol permit office.

PASADENA, Calif.—ABC is launching its own entry into the crowded market of singing competition shows, hoping to attract viewers with a format that rewards their instant feedback.
The series, "Rising Star," will begin in June, said Paul Lee, ABC entertainment president.
Based on highlights shown to reporters on Friday, the show is visually arresting. A singer performs in front on a wall filled with dozens of video screens, where pictures of viewers pop up when they vote in favor of the performance. If the contestant reaches a certain number of positive votes, the wall rises to reveal a live studio audience.
There will be a group of four judges, who haven't been selected yet, but their opinions have much less weight than the audience's, Lee said.
ABC is adapting a format that was successful in Israel and attracted a bidding war when it was made available to U.S. television networks, he said.
"It's sort of a combination of a massive talent show and 'The Gong Show,' " Lee said.
Singing competitions already fill broadcast network schedules, and many in the industry wonder if viewers are tiring of them. "American Idol" launched its new season on Wednesday before 15.2 million viewers. That's down 15 percent from last January's season debut and the smallest audience for an "American Idol" launch since the series' first year in 2002, the Nielsen company said.
"Idol" has been hurt by NBC's "The Voice," which continues to gain momentum. Its run of shows last fall averaged 14.8 million viewers, up 4 percent from the spring. Fox's "The X-Factor" with Simon Cowell has plunged so precipitously in the ratings that there is doubt about whether it will return.
Lee's hope is that viewers are tired of the formats of "Idol" and "The X-Factor," but not necessarily of singing competitions.
"We definitely felt it was so different, definitely a 21st century show, that we felt it was a risk worth taking," he said.
Producers have developed a simple app that makes it easy for viewers to participate, Lee said. One wrinkle producers will need to work on—and they haven't fully figured it out—is how to include West Coast viewers in the process. Prime-time shows that air live in the East and Midwest are frequently shown on tape delay in the West because of the time difference.

Avram Grant is confident of realising his "long-term vision" for West Ham despite the prospect of relegation.
The club were delighted to be named as the preferred bidder for the Olympic Stadium last week, a step which owners David Gold and David Sullivan believe could usher in a bright future.
Grant is also working towards that, but accepts their perilous league position means they must for now focus on one game at a time, and told the club's official website: "We are thinking positively.
"We have a long-term plan here at West Ham. We knew this first year would be difficult but our vision is that every year we will do the right thing."
He added: "When we come to the (Olympic) stadium we will have a good team in the Premier League. We have a long-term vision but in football that has to start with the next match.

Human Development: Beyond the Human Development Index
The well-known Human Development Index (HDI) encompasses only three rather basic aspects of human welfare. This paper aims to go beyond this, by identifying 11 categories of human development. We next propose plausible candidates as indicators of these categories. We then estimate correlations among the indicators within each category, discarding those that are highly correlated with others. This left 39 indicators to encompass the categories. Of these, eight indicators are highly correlated with the HDI and may therefore be represented by it. But 31 are not highly correlated, suggesting that a full assessment of human development requires a much broader set of indicators than the HDI alone. Following the same procedure, we find that under-five mortality rates perform equally as well as the HDI, and income per capita is less representative of other dimensions of human development. The HDI (and the other two broad indicators) are shown to be worse indicators of the extended categories of human development for OECD countries than for developing countries.

Studies have shown that older adults with dementia (a brain disorder that affects the ability to remember, think clearly, communicate, and perform daily activities and that may cause changes in mood and personality) who take antipsychotics (medications for mental illness) such as olanzapine have an increased chance of death during treatment. Older adults with dementia may also have a greater chance of having a stroke or mini-stroke during treatment.
Olanzapine is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of behavior disorders in older adults with dementia. Talk to the doctor who prescribed this medication if you, a family member, or someone you care for has dementia and is taking olanzapine. For more information visit the FDA website: Web Site
Olanzapine is used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia (a mental illness that causes disturbed or unusual thinking, loss of interest in life, and strong or inappropriate emotions) in adults and teenagers 13 years of age and older. It is also used to treat bipolar disorder (manic depressive disorder; a disease that causes episodes of depression, episodes of mania, and other abnormal moods) in adults and teenagers 13 years of age and older.Olanzapine is in a class of medications called atypical antipsychotics. It works by changing the activity of certain natural substances in the brain.
Olanzapine comes as a tablet and an orally disintegrating tablet (tablet that dissolves quickly in the mouth) to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day with or without food. Take olanzapine at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take olanzapine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Do not try to push the orally disintegrating tablet through the foil. Instead, use dry hands to peel back the foil packaging. Immediately take out the tablet and place it in your mouth. The tablet will quickly dissolve and can be swallowed with or without liquid.
Your doctor may start you on a low dose of olanzapine and gradually increase your dose.
Olanzapine may help control your symptoms, but it will not cure your condition. It may take several weeks or longer before you feel the full benefit of olanzapine. Continue to take olanzapine even if you feel well. Do not stop taking olanzapine without talking to your doctor. Your doctor will probably want to decrease your dose gradually.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking olanzapine,
Talk to your doctor about eating grapefruit and drinking grapefruit juice while taking this medicine.
Be sure to drink plenty of water every day while you are taking this medication.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Olanzapine may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of the following symptoms or those listed in the IMPORTANT WARNING section or the SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS section, call your doctor immediately:
Olanzapine may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
Taking olanzapine may cause the level of fats in your blood to increase. Talk to your doctor about the risks of taking olanzapine.
Teenagers who take olanzapine are more likely than adults who take olanzapine to gain weight, have increased levels of fat in their blood, develop liver problems, and experience side effects such as sleepiness, breast enlargement, and discharge from the breasts. Talk to your child's doctor about the risks of treating your child with olanzapine. Your child's doctor may choose to first prescribe a different medication that does not have these risks.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Always store the orally disintegrating tablets in their sealed package, and use them immediately after opening the package. Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdose may include:
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor may order certain lab tests to check your body's response to olanzapine.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Through painful circumstances, Riley and Annie learn that the loving and sovereign hand of God cannot be thwarted.

Product Reviews
Ruth StilesCentral NYAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5June 8, 2014Ruth StilesCentral NYAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Riley Morgan is trying to make something of his life. Returning from the Civil War to find his family killed by Commanche Indians, Riley decides to sell the family farm and move on. As he becomes desperate for food and a shelter that doesn't hold millions of miles, he seeks out work at the Wilcox School for Blind Children. Little does he know he will find more than food including a deeply buried secret that will shake his faith.
Annie grew up a pickpocket. Her father demanded that she steal for food. One day she stole a watch, but was unable to find her father because she was hiding. In the morning her father had skipped town and she was left alone. As her stomach growled she convinced Miss Laura at the Wilcox School for Blind Children that she was blind. The school's owner required any child in the home to be actually blind, but Miss Laura took compassion on Annie and too her in.
As Annie struggles with her "blindness" and Riley struggles with thoughts of a married life with a blind girl, the Wilcox School for Blind Children is being sold. The loving kind owner who established this safe haven for blind children has died and his nephew has no desire to keep the school in business.
God begins to work in the heart of Annie, and she is convinced she needs to come clean of her lie about being blind. What will Riley think when she admits to lying to him? Will Miss Laura be able to save the School?
I received this book from Moody Publishing and am not being compensated for my review. -
ShannahAge: 25-34Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5I really enjoyed this book!January 6, 2014ShannahAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4I thought this book was great! Raleigh (aka Riley) Morgan returns from war after 4 years to find his ranch in shambles, his parents dead, and his fiance married. With painful memories from before and during the war haunting him, he needs to find something to do to keep him busy. Annie Sheffield has lived at the Wilcox School for the Blind since coming to Waco seven years earlier, after her father's abandonment. It's the only home she's ever had. However, she has had to deceive everyone in order to stay there. When her and Riley meet, sparks fly. Can they overcome their pasts and accept the future God has for them?
The plot moved pretty quickly. There were no parts that I found lagging. Riley is coming to grips with what has happened over the past four years and learning to trust God again. Annie is fighting to keep the only home she's ever known and learning that the God she's heard about can forgive her for anything she's done. The author did a great job of keeping the story interesting and the romance between Annie and Riley intriguing.
The author also did a great job at weaving the message throughout the book. Doubt and fear must be overcome in order to experience true peace in any Christian's life. It's a lesson that many of us, including myself, still need to learn and experience daily. Overall, this was a really great book and I look foreward to reading the rest of the books in the series!
**I received this book free from Moody Publishers in exchange for my honest review, which I have given.** -
RagdogsAge: Under 18Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Loved It!!!May 29, 2013RagdogsAge: Under 18Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I have read the first and second books The Texas Trails and liked both, but this is my favorite so far! The action scenes were excellent in description and I felt like I was there in the battles. The moral of telling the truth that the story provided was very inspiring, Annie was faced with the choice to either run away from the town that had become her home or tell the truth and accept what the people thought of her, I loved her choice (!).
Riley was also an inspiring character. I have always liked reading stories about young men and women who served in any war and, although not overly detailed, Riley's slight mentioning of his life during his time serving in the war made the book even better!
Vickie McDonough also held my attention in the book with the subplots throughout the story!
"I received a copy of this book from Moody publishers in return for this review. All of the comments and opinions are my own." -
GBCPastorsWifeKnoxville, TNAge: 35-44Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5Good addition to the seriesMarch 29, 2013GBCPastorsWifeKnoxville, TNAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4As a young girl, Annie is forced by her father to steal becoming an expert pickpocket. When her father finally abandons her in Waco, TX, she comes across a school for the blind and decides to pretend to be blind to have the safety and love the children there know.
Fast forwarding a few years, Riley Morgan returns from the war to find his parents dead and his fiance married. Taking a job at the Wilcox School for the blind, he finds himself becoming more and more interested in the pretty, blind young woman that works there.
This is book #3 in the Morgan Family Series, a series which I am thoroughly enjoying reading. I like the characters and the story lines. However, this one dropped a star for trying to convince you that for all of these years, Annie has been able to fool everyone in town except the two women who work at the school. Incident after incident should have completely given it away, especially to Riley. That was just unbelievable. Over all, though, it was a good story that I enjoyed reading.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher for the purpose of this review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. -
AudOneinAKKenai, AKAge: 35-44Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5Long Trail Home ~ 4 StarsDecember 24, 2012AudOneinAKKenai, AKAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 5My daughter (12) and I are loving this series! Even though we are reading them all out of order so it is taking some figuring out, but I get them when and where I can.
This book stood strong right along with the others. It has a troubled hero running from God and a confused, beautiful, young woman who bowls him over and helps bring him back to God even though she was the one searching.
I gave this book only 4 stars because I found it too big of a stretch that a girl could fool a whole town AND the man she's falling in love with, into believing that she's blind for so many years. If she wore dark glasses...maybe. But she would look right at things, even his eyes once in a while and with a school full of blind kids he couldn't tell the difference?
Other than that...4 thumbs up!!

7:39pm --
Standing in Yankee Stadium is apparently "the coolest thing in the whole world". (As a Braves fan, I beg to differ, but to each his/her own.)
7:51pm --
Me: Laverne looks so old! Quick, what time is it?
Roomie: I don't know; look at one of your eight clocks.
(I only have six visible clocks from this seat in the living room -- shut it, I like clocks.)
7:56pm --
Roomie: Why do they call [Lance Berkman] "Big Puma"? Is it because he's got such a big belly?
Me: I have a theory...you know the term "cougar"? I'm imagining "Puma" to be the male version of that.
8:00pm --
Jo: Peter Gammons likes Three Doors Down?!!!? Ha I ::heart:: him.
8:08pm --
I still don't know who Justin Morneau is.

Reggie Jackson throws out the first pitch to Derek Jeter. Of course it's Jeter. *rolls eyes*
8:15pm --
Erin Andrews' blouse is fit for a Disney Princess.
8:19pm --
I'm still not tired of "the most interesting man in the world". Love those Dos Equis commercials.

8:57pm --
My friend Shaun loves you, Lance Berkman --just so you know.

9:34pm --
Manny's kid is SO CUTE. Cuter than his dad!
ETA: SCJ pointed out that this is Hanley's kid, not Manny's. Sorry!
9:39pm --
HA, fans running into the black to catch one of Josh Hamilton's home runs (#17, I think), and the security chased them down. Security had one in a choke hold!
9:41pm --
Baby Ramirez pushing another kid out of the camera -- loves the spotlight, just like his papa. :D
23 home runs for Josh now...
9:45pm --
Big Papi's face is extraordinarily well-groomed. White guys, are you paying attention? A well-groomed face is very attractive.

Seriously? Damn, bro, Bakersfield gets the short end of every stick. The only issue we've ever run into has been broken games, which are always fixed or replaced almost immediately. We had Chux Jr's birthday party today, and it was excellent all-around. I'd eat at the buffet even if I didn't have kids. Maybe they're too far from the home office to have proper quality control up there?
That's my jacket!
The one near me was always packed (and it had a huge parking lot, as it was built on the grounds of a former shopping plaza of a hardware/home improvement store, IIRC), but now it's just there, with a few cars there. But then, when 5 Guys first got here, it was the same thing (minus the large parking lot area and former Home Depot-type place)... and Chick Fil-A... and Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor...
It could just be "the times."
Too late; I already copyrighted these parodies: Rogue Juan, Rogue Won, Rogue Huan, Rogue Wan, Rogue Obi-Wan, Rouge One, Rogue Wand.
No lunch for this guy today, I was too stuffed after going out for brunch with the family.
I do have a direct answer for that but it would be misconstrued. The crux of of the answer has to do with respect, manners, and courtesy towards others (the way I was brought up). It's lacking in this once great state.
Then, there's the matter of food quality and cleanliness sliding...
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Salad, yogurt, milk and a certain chocolate flavored thick dessert that has been mentioned here by me far too many times.

'Aftershock' offers mild jolts
Young tourists party their way across Chile, hitting the clubs, hunting for a little "Third World" experience.
"Like, COOL Third World," one explains. "You know. Like Bali."
They chatter on their cellphones, hit on drunken hotties and sprinkle Yiddish into their pick-up lines. Which don't work on the likes of, oh, Selena Gomez.
But wait, the inept Jewish flirt they all call "the Gringo"? That's Eli Roth. Then there's that hint of "Turistas" menace to the out-of-control situations that the rich punk Pollo (Nicolas Martinez) gets them into.
Maybe it's the fact that he's a dead ringer for Zach Galifianakis, the LAST guy you'd want as your tour guide. Maybe it's the way they say "dead bodies" instead of "cheese" when posing for photos.
Or maybe that title – "Aftershock" – tells you this won't be that different from everything else Eli Roth has had a hand in.
Sure, it's all drinks and skirt-chasing fun. But sooner or later, the blood will flow. Count on it.
"Aftershock," which Roth co-wrote, is a sometimes grimly entertaining disaster/horror thriller about being in the wrong part of the world with the wrong life and language skills when disaster happens.
It starts with a light and funny first act – hear Chilean miner sex analogies, see the Gringo strike out with every woman he meets (Gomez among them).
See the wild sister Kylie (Lorenza Izzo) try to escape the protective clutches of her Hungarian sibling (Andrea Osvart). See Ariel (Ariel Levy) beg his not-answering-phone-messages girlfriend to take him back.
And watch Pollo do his best Latino Zach as he throws his money and his weight around in search of "the best party in Chile."
That would be in Valparaiso. Where the earthquake hits.
"Aftershock" then becomes a catalog of most every unpleasant way of dying you can imagine – crushed, impaled, immolated, shot, raped, tortured.
Six shallow party animals are forced to make life-or-death decisions while still buzzed from drinking and while still in their club wear in a city none of them knows.
The foreshadowing in the script is cute and obvious, and you can see or make a good guess at what third act "surprises" are in store. But the depiction of their trek through the bowels of a city that's been reduced to hellish ruin is spot on, with shaky hand-held cameras capturing the quake and aftershocks, the suspenseful attempts at saving this person or that one and the chases that come when the walls of the local prison tumble and anarchy sets in.
As genre mash-ups go, "Aftershock" is a bit of an overreach.
Perhaps sustaining suspense and ratcheting up the tension should have taken precedence over the many obvious plot twists. But it works well enough.
It's just a shame what it'll do for Valparaiso tourism. The place looks lovely, until the earth starts shaking.

Hello, Head-fiers! I've visited before, usually as a result of a google search on a product I was interested in or already owned. Although I've had numerous different pairs of over-ear headphones since the early 70's, (I'm 52) my current interest is mostly in iems. Although not really an audiophile in the sense of spending a bunch of cash on audio equipment, (because I don't have it) music is one of the most important things in my life. The better it sounds, the more I enjoy it, but I remember listening to a little am portable and having a good old time singing along (poorly.) My introduction to iems actually came about because of my desire to listen to music while motorcycling with a helmet on. Starting with cassettes, then CD players,(which skipped mercilessly), and finally a Sony mini-disc player, no matter the source earbuds were a crappy way to listen due to the inherent ambient noise from wind passing over and around my helmet, not to mention being terribly uncomfortable under a helmet. My first iem's, if you can call them that, were Koss' "plugs." At the time they were a revelation. I could finally hear the music at over 30 mph! They sounded lousy and they still hurt like hell though. Eventually, I moved into the 21st century (late, of course) with a Creative Labs Zen 30g MP3 player (the size of a deck of cards and about a pound) and a pair of Etymotic ER6s. I loved the sound signature of the Ety's, but they were long enough to exert considerable pressure on my inner ears when pushed on by the inside of my helmet, making them a 1.5 hour proposition at best. I'm still learning about music in the computer age, and learning more is one reason I joined this forum. My current source is a Zune HD ( I like the subscription's music portability- I have a dumb phone) with a pair of Altec-Lansing something or others ( rebranded something else and not very comfy) Shure 215s, Westone UM2s, and a pair of UM3Xs. I've also started testing out different amps, having bought a Fiio E6, the limitations of which were immediately apparent, and now I'm using an E07K. I'd like to try the DAC of the EO7K, but can't find a reasonable line-out option for the Zune. The UM3Xs are my go to iems, but they are quite sensitive, so I rarely use an amp currently. My music tastes run to indie pop/alternative, some rock, some progressive jazz, 70's progressive (no groaning there in the back), a little classical. Pretty much a little bit of everything but hip-hop/rap, and not much country. I'm currently waiting for my UM2s to be reshelled by In Ear Customs, at least theoretically, although I can't get any response from them, so the only thing I know for sure is that they have my money and my UM2s. If they turn out ok, I may have the same thing done to my UM3Xs, but I'd be hesitant to be without them for so long. I'm looking forward to learning from people with expertise and experience different from my own. Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Gallery | Images of Nerdanel |
Nerdanel (Q, pron. [ˈnerdanel]) was the daughter of the Noldorin smith Mahtan and the wife of Fëanor. Nerdanel was a noted sculptor. She is said to have made statues so lifelike that people thought them real.
She bore Fëanor seven sons: Maedhros, Maglor, Celegorm, Caranthir, Curufin, Amrod, and Amras (see Sons of Fëanor). Nerdanel, unlike her husband, was of a peaceful nature and sought to moderate his fiery temper and pride with wisdom. For a time she was the only one able to influence him. Called "the Wise", Nerdanel refused to follow her husband to Middle-earth, and apparently still lives in Aman.[1]
Nerdanel's family is interesting as the only known Elves with red hair. Nerdanel's father Mahtan and three of her sons (Maedhros, Amrod, and Amras) are described as having a reddish brown hair and this is described as a trait "of Nerdanel's kin". Nerdanel possessed a ruddy complexion.
Contents |
The name Nerdanel is given no clear meaning or etymology in the published writings of Tolkien. The original (rejected) version of her name was Istarnië.[2]
Editor and linguist Patrick H. Wynne has suggested that the element nerd- in Nerdanel perhaps derives from nerdo ("large, strong man"), noting that the name "might refer to her strength of body and mind, and her pursuits of crafts more commonly practiced by men." Wynne also suggests that Istarnië derives from Quenya ista- ("know"), apparently "referring to her 'desire for knowledge'".[3]

The national commander of the American Legion is demanding answers from the Veterans Administration after hospitals in three states placed restrictions on Christian volunteers, including a group of schoolchildren who were told they could only perform Christmas carols from a government-approved list.
"Every Christmas, every religious holiday, Christians are more and more often targeted for censorship and restriction at VA facilities," American Legion National Commander Daniel Dellinger said. "Veterans in these hospitals fought to protect such freedoms."
In Iowa City, American Legion members were told they could not hand out presents to veterans if the wrapping paper said Merry Christmas.
In Augusta, Ga., the VA told a group of students from a Christian school that they could not sing religious-themed Christmas carols. Instead, the students were presented with a list of government-approved, secular songs.
And in Dallas, the VA hospital refused to allow children to distribute Christmas cards to patients because the cards included phrases like "Merry Christmas" and "God Bless You."
The American Legion has asked the VA Central Office for an explanation of why it appears Christians are being singled out for restrictions.
"First of all, VA's decision to prohibit the delivery of Christmas cards that mention Christmas is ludicrous," Dellinger said. "Second of all, VA has been down this road before, and recently. VA has been warned through a federal court decree to stop denying freedom of religious expression at its facilities. It's pretty obvious the Dallas VA did not get that memo."
On Monday morning boys and girls from Grace Academy in Prosper, Tex., were planning on hand delivering the cards to the wounded veterans. Math teacher Susan Chapman called the hospital to make final arrangements and that's when she learned there was a problem.
"I told him my students made cards, we'd like to bring them down for the veterans," Chapman told MyFoxDFW.com. "And he said, 'That's great. We're thrilled to have them, except the only thing is, we can't accept anything that says 'Merry Christmas' or 'God bless you' or any scriptural references because of all the red tape.'"
A VA official quoted the policy which is in the Veterans Health Administration handbook:
"In order to be respectful of our veterans' religious beliefs, all donated holiday cards are reviewed by a multi-disciplinary team of staff led by chaplaincy services and determined if they are appropriate (non-religious) to freely distribute to patients. We regret this process was not fully explained to this group and apologize for any misunderstanding."
"It really didn't occur to me there would be a problem with distributing Christmas cards," said Chapman. She's married to a veteran and volunteers with the American Legion and other veterans' organizations.
Hiram Sasser, director of litigation for Liberty Institute, said it was a new low "even for the Scrooges and Grinches at the VA."
"Targeting the benevolent work of little children for censorship is disgusting," Sasser told me. "Do the Grinches in the administration of the VA really believe our bravest warriors need protection from the heartfelt well wishes of small children saying Merry Christmas?"
Liberty Institute is now representing Chapman and they've given the VA until the close of business Friday to explain why they banned the cards.
High school students from the Alleluia Community School were told they could sing about Frosty the Snowman but not the Baby Jesus at the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center in Augusta, Ga.
Instead, when they arrived to perform, the students were given a list of 12 Christmas songs provided by the hospital's pastoral service that had been "deemed appropriate for celebration within the hearing range of all veterans."
In other words, all secular, nothing sacred, the Augusta Chronicle reported.
"Military service veterans, male and female, represent people of all faiths," hospital spokesman Brian Rothwell said in a statement to the newspaper. "It is out of respect for every faith that The Veterans Administration gives clear guidance on what 'spiritual care' is to be given and who is to give it."
Dan Funsch, the school's principal, told me this is the first year they've been told not to perform religious carols.
"Have we gotten to the point where there are approved Christmas songs?" he asked. "What concerns me is using our government to apply an agenda of aggressive secularization, systematically removing any reference to the Christian underpinnings of western civilization."
The students opted not to deviate from their prepared selections and left without singing any carols.
"That's censorship, pure and simple," Dellinger said.
He said the censorship is a clear case of discrimination based on religious expression.
"VA needs to let those children deliver cards to the veterans now, and those who wrongly banned them owe an apology to the children, the teacher and the veterans who were supposed to get them Monday."
It's not the first time the VA has landed in legal trouble over religious censorship. In 2011, Liberty Institute uncovered national VA policies that unlawfully discriminated against religious speech.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes signed a court order enforcing a degree prohibiting the VA from engaging in religious censorship.
"It is shameful that the VA continues to censor religious speech in Christmas cards when the VA knows it is against the law to do so," Sasser said. "If the VA does not comply with the law and the spirit of the ongoing federal court order from our previous case, we will have no choice but to once again go to federal court to enforce the rights of these students."

The struggling U.S. housing market got some good news Tuesday as housing starts came well ahead of expectations, suggesting that the market may finally be nearing a bottom.
Housing starts totaled 583,000 in February, compared with the 450,000 figure economists expected, from 466,000 in January.
The collapse of the housing market has been one of the key drivers of the ongoing recession. But excessive inventory could prolong the crisis, which needs to flush out extra homes in order to return to a proper balance between supply and demand.
Building permits, which totaled 547,000, were also a healthy step ahead of the expected fall 500,000 from 531,000 units in January.
Leif Thomson, chief executive of Mortgage Master, said he was shocked by the data. "I'm also surprised that so much of the growth was in the Northeast — I know my market and I'm mystified," Thomson said. He noted that most of the growth was from new condominiums, and that single-family home starts saw only single-digit growth.
On Monday, the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market index was reported unchanged at 9 in March, in line with economists' expectations but the fifth-straight month of single-digit levels. The index requires a reading of 50 or more for construction companies to be considered positive. (See "U.S. Housing Weak, Manufacturing Shrinks.")
Wholesale inflation was just shy of expectations. The U.S. Commerce Department reported Tuesday that the producer price index, which follows prices before they reach consumers, rose 0.1% in February, short of both the 0.4% the Street had expected and the 0.8% recorded in January. Excluding the relatively volatile food and energy prices, prices rose 0.2%.
U.S. stock futures were flat, while the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was unchanged from Monday at 2.95%.

Wolf Hollow is a registered 501(c)(3), non-profit organization. We rely on support from individuals, businesses and foundations to carry out our work. We strive to promote the well-being of wildlife and their habitats through rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife, public education and non-invasive research.
The aim of wildlife rehabilitation is to care for injured, orphaned, or sick native wild animals and release them back into the wild. There are three main stages of rehabilitation:
(1) Rescue
If you find a wild animal which you think needs care, please call (360) 378-5000. A member of staff is on call 24 hours a day. We will give you advice on what to do, and if necessary, how to get the animal to us. In some cases where the animal is badly hurt or difficult to handle, we will try to send a trained person out to help.
A Staff person is on call 24 hours a day. If you call our number after hours, you will receive a message telling you the pager number of the staff person on call that night. When you call the pager you will be asked to punch in your phone number so the rehabilitator can call you back as soon as possible.
(2) Treatment & Care
When an animal reaches Wolf Hollow it is carefully examined to determine what the problem is and what treatment is required. Some patients are relatively healthy youngsters which have been orphaned or separated from their parents. These animals need the correct diet and care until they are old enough and have the skills necessary to survive on their own.
Other patients are adult animals that are sick or have injuries such as a broken leg or wing, head trauma, or wounds. Many are very weak and thin and they are often suffering from severe infections. Their initial treatment may include medication, dressing wounds, or occasionally surgery.
All need good supportive care (feeding, housing, exercise, etc.) until they have fully recovered. Very young or badly injured animals may need care for several months, while others stay for only a few days. During their stay at Wolf Hollow, we try to prevent the animals from becoming habituated to people, because we want them to have the best chance of survival when they are released back to the wild.
(3) Release
When an animal has fully recovered, or is old enough to care for itself, it is released back into its natural habitat. If it is to survive, each animal must be behaviorally as well as physically ready for release—i.e., it must be able to find its natural foods, know how to behave with others of its kind – and be wary of people. An important part of our job is to KEEP THEM WILD.
Public education is an important part of our work at Wolf Hollow. Our goal is to help people become more aware of the wildlife living around us, understand how our activities can cause problems for these animals, and consider what we can all do to help. We hope that people will then make efforts to reduce the impact they have on wildlife and their habitats and pass this information on to others.
Our educational staff give presentations to clubs and other organizations, work with local school groups, produce educational materials, and design interpretive displays for use at local events.
Non-invasive research is part of our mission at Wolf Hollow. The goal of this research is to gather information that will help improve our standards of animal care and increase post release survival rates of animals we rehabilitate.
In 2003 an 2004, Wolf Hollow undertook a retrospective research project that examined culture and sensitivity data from rehabilitated harbor seals over a twelve year period. This project was generously funded through the John H. Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue Assistance Grant Program, and the resulting research article was published in the Journal of Zoo and Wildlife medicine in September 2006.

The Oxonian Review is a literary magazine produced by graduate students at the University of Oxford. Every fortnight during term time, an online edition is published featuring reviews and essays on current affairs and literature. It is the largest university-wide graduate-student publication at the University of Oxford.[citation needed]
The Oxonian Review was established in 2001 at Balliol College, Oxford as the Oxonian Review of Books,[1] as a termly print magazine featuring essays and reviews of recently published work in literature, politics, history, science, and the arts, written by graduate students of the University of Oxford.
In November 2008, the publication carried out a large recruitment drive in order to expand beyond Balliol College and reach a wider audience. It relaunched in January 2009 as a web-based magazine, publishing fortnightly during term time, and annually in print. The magazine also now organises a series of events[2] in Oxford, including speaker dinners, music evenings, film screenings, competitions, and writers' workshops.
The Oxonian Review regularly interviews important figures from the world of literature, politics and culture. In the past, these have included:[citation needed]
In addition to its publishing, the Oxonian Review also puts on a series of events that it believes to be of interest to its readers.[citation needed] In its current[when?] incarnation, the journal has put on four events: the theologian and historian John Hedley Brooke spoke on Charles Darwin and his influence on religious belief, a photography competition, sponsored by the Royal Photographic Society received entries from all over the United Kingdom, Michael Fitzpatrick gave a talk on his controversial book, Defeating Autism: A Damaging Delusion, and the science editor of The Economist, Geoff Carr, conducted a journalism and editing masterclass.[2]

Diana Krall makes dusty gems personal in L.A.
September 22nd, 2013, 2:15 pm by STEVEN MIRKIN, FOR THE REGISTERPlayer-piano music and old, black-and-white cartoons played as the audience took their seats at the Greek Theatre for Diana Krall's performance Saturday night. Once the lights went down, Steve Buscemi appeared on screen in a bowler hat, pancake makeup and a dark suit, looking like a cross between his Boardwalk Empire character Nucky Thompson and a Magritte painting. He spoke the opening lines of "When the Curtain Comes Down," passing a word on to the wise guys, confessing that "we're actors, and here's our game." That was immediately followed by Krall loping into "We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye."
Those two songs bookend Glad Rag Doll, last year's sepia-toned honey of a collection on Verve Records. The album, another burnished gem produced by T Bone Burnett, has the smoky intimacy of a late-night session, carrying its sophistication lightly, the playing understated but masterful.
The easy swing and nodding joy marks it as the kind of music musicians play for their own pleasure – and indeed, sitting among a glittery, tipsy crescent moon, with metal stars on the curtains and atop poles, Krall and her crack five-piece band could have been playing backstage on the vaudeville circuit.
Yet, for all its artifice, the show presented Krall at her most personal. Most of the Glad Rag Doll material was taken from her father's array of early 20th-century 78 rpm records (she even had his gramophone on stage), and the jazz chanteuse not only talked about the composer and who first recorded those songs but told family stories – Sunday mornings with an aunt who would sneak her Kahlua and milk and play the piano, for instance.
