Amazing Spider-Man #109 would be the next-to-last issue that Stan Lee would write for the title. Once he concluded his run with "The Birth of... the Gibbon!" in the next issue, he would turn over the writing reins to Gerry Conway, and his long association with Spider-Man would come to an end. Lee would bill the Gibbon as "One of the Greatest New Super Stars in the Mighty Marvel Universe!"--which was either a whopper of a misassumption, or the kind of whopper that was proof positive of Lee's tendency toward over-the-top promotion.
But currently, Lee is in the middle of a two-part tale featuring Flash Thompson, who has concluded a tour of duty in Vietnam but is now marked for death back at home--and, as Flash's friend in his Peter Parker guise, Spider-Man is caught in the middle of it. Peter has only begun to put the pieces of this puzzle together. In Part 1, he's seen and overcome an attempt to abduct Flash in broad daylight, only to later fail to thwart a second attempt by a religious sect that blames Flash for the death of their priest. Peter's main concern is to keep Flash from being killed while trying to figure out a way to prove Flash's innocence; but with the people after him now having him in their custody, Flash's moments may be numbered.
So we find Peter shortly after a blast at a federal building that has caused sufficient disarray for Flash's abductors to succeed. But why isn't he leaping into action and going after Flash as Spider-Man? After all, he's planted a tracer on one of the men holding Flash, so what's the problem? That would be Gwen Stacy, who has pleaded with Peter not to run off as he usually does and thus overcome his seeming cowardice. And since Peter can't compromise his identity as Spider-Man, Gwen has him between a rock and a hard place, since every second he's forced to wait brings Flash that much closer to his death.
And Gwen isn't through making trouble in Peter's life. I mean, opening up on Aunt May!?
But first, Spidey has to get cracking.
In the last issue, Lee used the excuse of Peter not having his costume on him to hamstring Peter's pursuit of Flash's kidnappers. Yet in Part 2, it's precisely because his costume is "on him" that provides Peter with a way to side-step Gwen's insistence that he stay, and swing off after Flash after all:
But while Peter is in pursuit, hoping to pick up a signal from his tracer, he gets a signal of another kind, leading him to Greenwich Village and some unexpected assistance in his search:
I've always liked Lee's handling of Dr. Strange--a mixture of trusted ally along with an aloof bearing that somewhat sets him apart from Marvel's other costumed adventurers. Lee also gives Strange a formal tone that is just a delight to read, as if his every word hinted at hidden dangers that the rest of us remained ignorant of--which is, of course, Strange's stock-in-trade. Artist John Romita also seems familiar with Strange--the character's posture is always indicative of confidence and resolute awareness, and the forces he commands can be dazzling even to the reader. Strange's appearance in the issue is crucial in resolving the story; yet even so, he's a fine choice to add some extra excitement to the story as a limited guest star, and under ideal writer/artist circumstances.
Meanwhile, Flash is learning that he hasn't been targeted for simple revenge, but also to be part of a plan to right a perceived wrong:
Fortunately, Strange's mystic eye has allowed himself and Spider-Man to eavesdrop on this exchange, and Strange believes he has discerned the truth:
But Spider-Man is only interested in directions, which Strange is happy to provide personally:
You can almost read Lee's notes to letterer Artie Simek, can't you? Lee can add extra dimension to a character like Strange or, say, Madam Medusa, simply by enhancing their dialog in size and having it come out boldly, as if the person is making a pronouncement. Heck, even Spider-Man, with his penchant for banter, is rendered speechless.
As Flash waits for the "holy hour" of the ceremony, he gets a visit from a familiar face--Sha Shan, the priest's daughter who helped to welcome him to the temple and who was witness to his attempts to warn them of the shelling:
But if Flash thinks that Sha Shan is his ticket out of this place, she seems to have other ideas:
Yet before we get to the main event, we've got harsh words being exchanged elsewhere, as Gwen has finally had it with Aunt May's overbearing protectiveness of her nephew:
Writer Lee seems to be tying up some more loose ends before he departs: after all this time, finally getting Aunt May to shake off her doting attitude toward Peter, though Gwen nearly gives her a heart attack in the process. You can't help but think that Gwen's outburst is related to the way she chastised Peter earlier about always running off whenever there was trouble, so she probably has a few issues of her own to resolve before she starts firing salvos at frail old aunts.
But now, Flash's time of reckoning has come--with two very different points of view taking issue with one another, as Dr. Strange makes his dramatic entrance:
As for Spidey, it's Round 3 with the hulking chauffeur, with there being no doubt this time as to which one is outmatched:
Strange directs Spider-Man to keep these deadly acolytes from interfering as he directs a spell at the still form of the priest, which brings an end to the fighting in a way almost no one could have imagined:
And finally, Strange has a chance to clarify the events which have just unfolded:
The resolution has the added benefit of letting Flash off the hook, since the priest makes clear to his disciples that Flash was in no way responsible for the deadly shelling. Strange then takes his leave, in typical dramatic fashion:
This story nearly brings to an end over 100 issues of Spider-Man being molded and guided by Lee's direction of the character, and it had most of the Lee touches we've become familiar with. The "aside" captions which interjected a witty editor's comment that had the effect of making the reader feel welcome in being along for the ride; the sense of anticipation the title page provided for the story within; the promise of a "no-prize" for recalling a fact or solving a plot point; complications happening elsewhere; a teaser for the next issue; and a story that took its time in unfolding. Teamed with the brilliance of Romita's artwork, Lee's skill as a comics writer was evident here.
1972 would find Lee pulling out from writing not only this book but also Fantastic Four; a year earlier he'd also exited from The Mighty Thor and Captain America. It was a little sobering from a reader's standpoint, but particularly so in light of Spider-Man, the hero Lee seemed to have a special affinity for, who never got the breaks or garnered the fame that the others did. It's obvious that I enjoyed this story on several levels--but in hindsight, perhaps one of them was the sad realization that there would be few times I would ever see its like again.

Is this a legal method of acquiring insurance leads?
Recently I received a question on insurance leads:
Is this a legal method of acquiring insurance leads [from the web]? Are there any agent testimonials on the efficiency of this type of service?
Legality issue in web scraping
With the matter of legality in web scraping, there should be a clear approach – it depends on the website and its privacy policy. There could be at least 2 cases:
- Public info (prices, inventory info, public offers), i.e. everything that is not protected by copyright and available for scraping.
- The copyright protected info – website Terms of Use or Terms of Service restrictions make copying and therefore web scraping illegal.
So far I have no insurance agent testimonies on the efficiency of any insurance lead scrape service. The web sites I searched [on the insurance leads] have given me the impression that the customer info they gather is highly secured (not viewable). I doubt that any sites are going to expose insurance leads. In most of them the leads are available by paid subscription plans.
If there are any such websites like insurance leads directories (public insurance quotes), we might develop a scraper that consistently grabs fresh or new info for further analysis. It does save the agent's time for re-searching, re-visiting and so on. One scraper might work with multiple directory pages for scrape.
You might find it interesting to read about web page change tracking if you only need to see updates (no data storing applied).

Render Via Command Line in Maya 2012 for Mac
For one of my more recent videos, I decided to render using the command line renderer. This allowed me to set up a batch render that rendered the same scene from different camera angles during different time ranges and allowed me to easily save the output images in separate folders. I could even set up a shell script to render multiple sets of images in one batch and I could even have the script send me an SMS text message or email when certain sets of jobs complete.
Check out this blog post about automatically generating batch render commands, or head on over to GitHub to download my rendering and lighting Python scripts for Maya.
Getting Started
The easiest way to get rendering via command line is to navigate to the maya2012 folder in your Applications directory. If you double click on Maya Terminal.term, Terminal will open and execute a small script to set up the Maya specific commands. If you want to just render a file without customizing any options you can type
So if I wanted to render my scene called testScene.ma that was located in ~/maya/ with mental ray I would enterIf you're not familiar with using file names in Terminal, a quick way is to type
Then drag and drop the file into the Terminal window and the pathname will be added for you.
Alias maya to Maya Terminal.term Commands
If you read the documentation for the command line renderer it recommends you run the Maya Terminal.term to launch a new shell with the correct settings to use the Maya specific shell commands. If you do that you will notice that doing this just launches an instance of Terminal.app and runs a shell script to set up the correct environment variables. To make things run a little smoother, I used the .bash_profile alias maya to execute that shell script. You can accomplish this by starting a new shell, and editing your .bash_profile file located in your home directory with Vim, Nano or some other text editor. For example, I added the line
So now I can start a new shell, type maya, and everything is set up for rendering.
More Advanced Commands
By default the command line renderer will use the Render Settings from your scene file to render, but the power of command line rendering is that you can easily override Render Settings quickly. If you type
(after initializing the maya command), a list of render flags will be printed out. The most interesting are render directory, camera, render layer, start frame and end frame. Through combinations of these, you can have one 'master' scene set up with default render options, and then render out different combinations of layers, time ranges, cameras and send them all to different directories on your computer. Here is an example of a common render command I use
This will render the masterlayer render layer from the main_cam camera in the scene.ma file. It will render frames 770-950 and place them in the specified directory.
Setting Up a Shell Script for Batch Rendering
To create a batch file you can open up a blank text file and put one render command per line. If you save the file with the format .sh, you can then run the file through Terminal. The format might be as follows:
Note: You can use the more advanced Render commands above as well. Then to run the batch command, you can open up a new shell, type maya then type
Text Message Alert
As an addition to the shell script above, you can use the built in mail command to send yourself an email or SMS message when the renders have completed. You can insert the command after each phase of rendering is completed, or just at the end so you know when your computer is available for use again.
Whatever you put in the echo command will be piped into the mail command with the subject specified by the -s argument to the specified email address. Most mobile carriers support sending text messages via email and you can simply Google your carrier to find out the format of the address to send it to. For example, to send an SMS message to AT&T phones in the U.S. you can use the format, <10-digit wireless phone number>@txt.att.net
Why Render from the Command Line?
- The biggest reason is memory consumption. When rendering from Maya directly, you need to have your scene file open and then when you render it starts another process that actually performs the render. If you don't have Maya open you have more available memory to use for the render.
- Easier to customize. You can choose to render certain layers with certain frame ranges and store the results in different directories. There are also advanced options to set up Mel scripts to be executed before and after each rendering job.
- Ability to batch render more easily.
- Can easily set up multiple render jobs from one scene file.
When I render on the Mac via the command line, I noticed that my computer fell asleep after the allotted time and the renders were put on hold. To overcome this I downloaded the free app Caffeine.

I have been so excited to post the images from this incredible wedding! In fact, I think you will be able to tell that I was just in love with all the amazing details that this sweet bride put into her wedding day, because I may have gotten a bit carried away when I was choosing images to share with you. I just felt like every tiny thing was so perfectly planned to suite this couple that I couldn't leave one thing out.
If you can remember back to when I first met this couple, I was at that time so intrigued by their story. They were the salty and sweet couple. The couple that lived in the same town, and yet attended different schools. They took their holidays to the same vacation spot, yet they stayed on opposite sides of the lake. This young man loves karaoke and she . . . fairytales. They came together. They fell in love. They married, and I . . . yes, I, had the sweet pleasure of watching them as they said, "Ido." I watched as they were giddy with excitement, and I watched as they laughed and kissed and ate pizza and danced. I watched as they rode the trolley around their hometown, toasted their friends, danced the chicken dance, and kissed as the sun set.
As you look through these images, I think you will feel as if you were there – as if you know the bride and groom. You will, I'm sure, fall in love with Kelsey as you see images of her eating pizza in her Maggie Sottero wedding gown and sticking out her tongue as she tosses her bouquet. I am absolutely positive, too, that you will believe that Kelsey's true love fairytale has come true when you see the way Casey looks at her under the apple tree or the way he embraces her on the motercycle. As you look through these images of their wedding day, you will, as I did, fall in love with them – with their story.
I feel so honored that you are here.
I feel so honored to be the one to share with you.
Congratulations Casey and Kelsey Kelly.
This incredible dress is part of the Maggie Sottero Collection. When I first saw it hanging there in the dressing room, I must admit, I was surprised at its simple beauty.
And, when Kelsey stepped into it, and the flowers were added, I was shocked at how it looked as if it were made for Kelsey – and Kelsey only.
Note to Brides: when choosing a dress, find one that you LOVE! Find one that you can move in, dance in, kiss your sweet husband in. Find a dress that you can't live without. Find a dress that was made – made just for you.
One thing that was particularily lovely about this wedding, was that this bride and groom were planners! They knew the importance of good lighting, time, and preparation when it came to their wedding pictures! Often times I encourage my couples to have a "first look" time before the wedding ceremony. This is a time, when they see each other for the first time, share some words, and then create of window of opportunity for some really great pictures to happen. There are times, though, when the fairytale just doesn't seem quite right when a groom sees the bride before she walks down the aisle.
Casey and Kelsey really wanted to wait to see one another until the actual ceremony.
They weren't willing to skimp on picture time, though, so they provided some great appetizers and good music for their guests, rented a trolley, and toured uptown Butte with their wedding party. They wanted to have some time to be together before their party and get some great pictures of the two them and their friends. What a blast I had! We were able to go to some great locations, and we had so much fun.
I must say, though, that I was quite suprised when we stopped to pose on a motorcycle; when we stopped to ride the carousel; and when we stopped to grab some pizza's. Actually, I was down right blown away as I watched Kelsey eat her pizza while riding the trolley. I would have NEVER made it without spilling. She was my hero that day.
The reception was made when elegance and class collided with beauty and simplicity.
A room lit by old fashioned canning jars tied with ribbons and hung from the ceiling, apple filled vases, and a cheese table.
Everywhere you looked there were flowers. Everywhere you looked there were beautiful people carrying their apple martini's.
Simple. Elegant. Classy. Beautiful. Nothing but fabulous.
There was an amazing spread of cheeses that I have never heard of, and fruit from all over the world – all put together by the Butte Country Club and the cake by the Uptown Cafe.

The collection is based on two interconnected and overlapping research themes: voluntarism and healthcare, and regionalism/localism and healthcare. It includes two synoptic overviews by leading authorities in the field, and ten case studies focusing on particular aspects of voluntary and/or regional healthcare in Ireland and Britain.

Six new dioceses were created out of the larger dioceses, having as their cathedrals former abbey churches. These fourteen were known as the New Foundation, as compared with the thirteen medieval secular cathedrals of the Old Foundation. Further substantial reorganisation took place in the eighteen-thirties, and additional dioceses were created to meet the needs of the period.

Eastnor is the first parish history to be produced by the Trust for the Victoria County History of Herefordshire, and complements some of the work on Ledbury undertaken for the Heritage Lottery-funded England's Past for Everyone project between 2005 and 2009. In its expanded treatment of the parish history, emphasising the economy and society of the parish as well as landownership and religious life, Eastnor is modelled on the first individual VCH parish history to be published, that of Mapledurwell, Hampshire, in 2012.
Eastnor lies at the southern end of the Malvern Hills and has always been an agricultural parish. In the 19th and 20th centuries it was dominated by the Castle, built between 1812 and 1820, and by its owners, the...

A design for life
The great big book of designs is HUGE. Really, this book is weighty and dense and fantastic it has 3000 line drawings, 3000 images with nice thick lines, for photocopying or tracing. It is made up from smaller similar books covering; Aboriginal, Art Nouveau, Aztec, Celtic, Floral, Folk Art, Garden, Native American, Persian, Roman, Tudor and Viking designs…..phew, that is a lot of designs. That's a lot of inspiration, a lot of embroideries, a fair few cards, a good selection of stained glass pieces there are just so many applications for these beauties! Do you know the best bit though (apart from the fact that this book is only £14.99)? The best bit for me is that this book can sit happily on my shelf acting as a source book for me, an occasional photocopy colouring book for Anna and when Will comes home with his first dreaded school project and I am going to be armed and ready with fantastic images for him to use. I can't think of many people who wouldn't benefit from having access to this book; teachers, crafts people, needle workers….it's just ace!
(in case you were wondering- I'm keeping this one!)

Trumbull voters faced with a choice
Now that the campaign for first selectman of Trumbull is under way, I'd like to make a few observations of Ray Baldwin over the years.
I first met Ray when I was head of a local neighborhood group, South Trumbull United, which had some issues with the development of the Frenchtown Road School. We had objected to the location of some entrances and the location of ball fields in the complex.
At that time, Ray was first running for first selectman. He asked to sit in our meetings, and told us what he could support and what he couldn't. We appreciated the fact that he listened to our concerns and wasn't just telling us things that we wanted to hear.
When I had some disagreements with him, he always invited me in to discuss any problems that I had. We were grateful for his involvement with us and I subsequently was asked to serve on the Economic Development Commission.
Over the years with that commission, Ray played no favorites based on political parties and actively supported us on almost every initiative we came up with. We knew that Trumbull was severely limited in its ability to moderate taxes via development, considering that about 98 percent of Trumbull was already developed.
We had to come up with creative ways to increase the grand list. In addition, taxes were greatly changed due to revaluation during Ray's tenure, as well as the fact that the education budget, which makes up something like 80 percent of Trumbull's budget, was basically out of his hands.
I found Ray over the years to be straightforward on every issue I've discussed with him. He listens to initiatives and is willing to change if he's convinced of a better alternative. I know many people are distrusting of politicians, particularly if they've been in office for a while, as Ray has been.
However, I believe that Ray has been a positive force for Trumbull over the years. In spite of complaints that taxes have been raised too much, I do not know of any way of ensuring the quality of life that Trumbull residents have come to expect without doing what he has advocated during his tenure. I hope that Trumbull residents decide to keep him for another term.
Ron Linden
I am a proud Democrat. I am also a Democrat who is crossing party lines to vote for Tim Herbst on Nov. 3.
As a Trumbull resident who lives near the mall, my neighbors and I were having trouble with mall management about the effects of mall operations on abutting property owners. Just when we were ready to give up and throw in the towel, Tim Herbst stepped in to help. He arranged a meeting between my neighborhood and mall management. Tim's efforts produced better relations between the neighbors and the mall. Not only was Tim responsive, but he showed an ability to forge common ground, reach consensus and solve problems. This is the same way he has led the Planning & Zoning Commission as chairman. Tim has brought Republicans and Democrats together to get positive results for the people of Trumbull. As an attorney with a well-respected Trumbull law firm, Tim has dedicated himself to the cause of helping others. This is the same reason why Tim was appointed by Gov. Rell to sit on a state commission with other mayors and first selectmen from across Connecticut to make recommendations as to how we can improve state and local government.
Tim Herbst is ready to lead and ready to restore the promise of Trumbull. With Tim, people come first. So take it from this Trumbull Democrat, if you want an amazing leader, then vote for Tim Herbst on Nov. 3.
Regarding the Sept. 14 story, "Praise in Trumbull GOP candidate's brochure questioned." The candidate in question is Tim Herbst, who will challenge First Selectman Ray Baldwin on Nov. 3. The judgment in question is Mr. Herbst's -- he hands out campaign literature that overstates and misstates his qualifications.
The article reports that he seeks to wriggle out of a self-created embarrassing situation by first minimizing his offense, then attacking the first selectman for calling him on his failure to act in the interests of the community's taxpayers as chair of the town's Planning and Zoning Commission. For his efforts Mr. Herbst's behavior is called "troublesome" by area academics.
These actions serve as a textbook example of the contrast between Herbst's youth and energy and Mr. Baldwin's maturity and proven judgment.
Herbst's approach is not that of an office seeker accepting accountability for his actions, but rather that of a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Is this the man to whom we want to entrust Trumbull and its $134 million budget?

Breaking news: Being a celebrity isn't the most important thing in the world. While some actors would have you believe that the universe revolves around their star power, others have left the biz for more fitting vocations. Maybe it's because the immense pressure of a life in Hollywood finally got to them, or maybe it's because they just realized they were sick of having to get a blowout to run to Walgreens.
Either way, there's no denying that giving up life as an actor is a weighty decision. Veterans like Cary Grant and Grace Kelly paved the way for the Great Hollywood Escape, but plenty of people have followed in their footsteps. It seems like giving up fame could one day be as groundbreaking as getting fame in the first place. Whether celebs decide to use their notoriety for charity work or to conquer the Ivy Leagues, expect to see more and more of it. Ahead, eight celebs who said sayonara to the silver screen, by choice.

Insider Threats: The sleeper cells of Cybersecurityby Jagrati Rakheja January 18, 2019 0 comments
Authored By: Sameer Shelke, COO, Aujas
It is no secret that Data breaches and cyber attacks have damaging effects. What is most concerning however is the growing sophistication of these cyber crimes. According to CII report known as India Cyber Risk and Resilience Review 2018, Insider threats are defined as any threat to an organization that originates from people who are associated with it and possess access to sensitive information which can lead to fraud, cyber sabotage and theft.
Attacks like worms, scams, keyloggers, phishing and adware target the human element in an organisation, that is, they seek out employees as prey. Therefore, today's most damaging security threats do not originate from malicious outsiders or malware, but from trusted insiders.
Fluid workforces, with countless contractors diffused across the globe, are ushering in a new era of insider threat-related security risks. This trend points to a growing new vulnerability. Employees may be described as the foundation of any organisation, where one crack can send the whole enterprise tumbling down. Hence, It is entirely possible for a single individual to negate the effect of a Cybersecurity team.
The 2017 Forrester Report on mitigating Insider Threats states that 54% of respondents experienced an insider incident in the last year and One- fifth of the executives surveyed in the Ernest and Young report stated that employees are the weakest link for an organisation. These statistics may not be cause for alarm, but certainly is cause for concern.
In most cases, the reason behind an insider breach is unintentional negligence, the result of a lack of basic Cybersecurity knowledge. The naivety of the employee while handling critical information and credentials weakens the entire Cybersecurity landscape of the organisation. Insider threats fall into a blind spot for organisations, which lack the policies and strategies in place to deal with such threats. More often than not, a simple training session on risk management tactics could plug this sinkhole.
A sincere employee may send his work to his personal email, so that he may continue working from home, unaware that this is a security breach and may even be considered cyber espionage. It may also be challenging for companies to monitor such activities without hindering employees from doing their jobs and being more productive, especially when working from home and across devices is now common practice.
Along with technology such as time cards, and physical access systems, the following are three methods to combat insider threats:
- Phishing tests to test user behaviour and training to improve user awareness
Phishing attacks target all organisations no matter their size or preparedness because they do not rely on technological vulnerabilities, but lapses in the security awareness of targeted employees. Social psychology techniques are used to send emails that appear credible, but far from it. Using email as a medium, soft targeting is a growing trend for this type of attack that tailors the email content to employees with specific roles within the organisation.
Whaling attacks target high profile employees such as CEO's as they typically have complete access to all types of sensitive information, and may even be coerced to send wire transfers of large sums. Attackers garner information from social media accounts to make these types of attacks more plausible. The top phishing tools available on the market create simulated phishing attacks for employees and then track how they respond, essentially sharing insight on the human firewall of the organisation.
Phishing training frameworks typically present employees with the latest technologies and templates they may be targeted with. These solutions are flexible across all employee levels and can be tailored to the organisation's sector, and use the cognitive methodology to encourage a positive behaviour change. Additionally, data can be easily availed for incremental training.
- Identity and Access Management framework
IT teams can regulate user, administrator, and application access to critical data and systems with the use of Identity and Access Management. A systematically implemented IAM framework can help organizations handle emerging IT trends such as cloud, mobility, microservices, APIs. IAM systems also support organizations with role-based access, compliance reporting, segregation of duties and generate audit trails.
- Implementation of threat detection systems
Threat detection software typically consists of software that is deployed from each endpoint device. This is then routed through a centralised managed platform for monitoring, administration and reporting. Such service bundles can be cloud-based or on-premise and comprise of host-based intrusion prevention, antivirus and policy management solutions.
While organisations still focus on protecting against external malware attacks, there is a clear shift of resources to mitigate insider risks, now that organisations understand the consequences. However, a point to note is that companies must be mindful of targeted policies to be put in place, as too much monitoring would infringe on the privacy of their employees and lower morale. There is a fine line between creating a big brother effect and monitoring sensitive data. As attacks grow more sophisticated, so should the methods that combat them.

November 11, 2012, KELOWNA, BC (ISN) – Fourth year guard Azi Fahandeg-Sadi (Kelowna, BC) led the Heat in their first win of the league season with 21 of his 27 points in the second half. The Heat played against rookie Canada West team, the Mount Royal University Cougars, winning 74-63. This is head coach Pete Guarasci's first win in the CIS.
"The guys ground out a victory when they had to in the fourth," commented Guarasci. "We had some really good defensive possessions and we definitely tried to execute the game plan."
Fahandeg-Sadi had 27 points, four of those baskets from behind the arc accounting for over a quarter of the Heat's points for the night. It was clear at the end of the game that the Player of the Game would be awarded to Fahandeg-Sadi.
Third year guard Anwar Faza (Ottawa, ON) put up 17 points and snagged seven rebounds. Rookie guard Greet Gill (Osoyoos, BC), was the leading rebounder with eight rebounds.
Fifth year forward Nick Loewen had a strong offensive game with 13 points, two assists, and two steals for the Cougars. He was accompanied by third year guard, Awet Abraha (Calgary, AB) with 14 points.
From 2006 -2011 the four times the Heat and the Cougars have clashed in the CCAA, the Cougars walked away with the win.
"The big challenge with Mount Royal is containing them on the perimeter," noted Guarasci. He added, "we could be a bit sharper getting to the shooters quicker and anticipating where is the ball is going to go."

Just before BCTF I unveiled my new version of my cosmetic pouch, how is it different??
Well it has a deeper base and is double lined with sew in interfacing to make it study so that it stands up on its own. I have replaced the felt flower detail with a simple ribbon bow which wraps round the whole pouch and placed a little button at the centre of the bow. This now means that you can machine wash your pouch should you need to.
My lovely twitter friend Michele asked if I would make her one in purples so that her lovely hubby could buy it for her birthday. I said "Yes of course" and here it is....Michele is using hers for a project bag (she makes these gorgeous tiny bears) rather than cosmetics which I think is a totally fab idea.
Want one??? Well you know what to do! firstname.lastname@example.com or message me on twitter @bagladee custom orders are always my fav :)

Are people like peanut butter? (A humorous look at people)
Peanut butter is creamy, crunchy, oily, messy, sticky, gooey, thick, heavy, and in some cases, sugary. So how do people stack up? Let's see if we can narrow it down. Everyone has their up-side and their down-side, however most people have their 'usual' behavioral pattern which comes out no matter what. Let's see if people and their behaviors stack up to peanut butter.
Before we go any further:
Do you know anyone who is like peanut butter?
Creamy peanut butter
Creamy peanut butter is smooth, creamy, and thick. Can we compare anyone to this type of peanut butter? Well, how about someone who is a 'smooth' character. A 'smooth' character can change the direction of a conversation. He/she can make things seem logical at the time they are saying it. He/she can give you reasons for things that make you feel so good you will do whatever they want you to do. A 'smooth' character can talk you into doing just about anything whether it is good, bad, or in-between. A 'smooth' character can seep through the cracks and still smell good. Yep, they are creamy peanut butter all right.
Crunchy peanut butter.
Crunchy peanut butter is smooth at times and crunchy at others. Can we compare anyone to this type of peanut butter? Hmmm, someone who can be both smooth and crunchy would be a two-faced back-stabber. They can seem smooth and sweet to your face and then stab you in the back when you aren't around. He/she will seemingly be out for your best interest while actually doing for themselves and no other. 'Crunchy' characters can fit into most crowds easily. They can be, or do, whatever it takes to be 'part of the crowd'. He/she will never show their true feelings even in cases of close relationships with others. Yep, crunchy fits that quite well. Don't you remember eating crunchy peanut butter and finding that the crunchy bits aren't in every bite?
Oily peanut butter
Oily peanut butter is usually one that has separated because it hasn't been processed or pasteurized. Oily peanut butter is slippery and difficult to work with. Oily people (now don't go labeling, it does not mean they are any different from you or I) can usually coat rough patches in their dealings with people and make it seem as though everything is just fine. He/she can smoothly interject any emotion into their conversations to evoke whatever reaction they seek. They can make a total stranger feel obligated to them for whatever reason. They skate over the law; bending but not, technically, breaking it. Oily characters can often convince even business savvy people to fall for their tricks. Yeah, that's oily peanut butter, seeps right through the confines of the bread.
Messy peanut butter
Messy--Hmmmm, messy is part of the whole peanut butter consciousness, so I'm not sure I can compare, but let's see. A 'messy' character would most likely be lazy to a point. They wouldn't actually sit in filth, but if the place is messy, well, it looks 'lived in' not dirty. A messy person doesn't pay much attention to their looks, since it would take too much effort. A messy person would not want to do much that would require a lot of effort such as skiing, sledding, skating, bike riding, swimming, etc. especially since that would mean they would have to know where their equipment was in their 'messy' room. I guess I can compare it to messy peanut butter because messy peanut butter gets all over the jar, cabinet, table, plate, hands, mouth, and anything else it gets near. But******* it sure isn't going to clean up the mess it made!
Sticky peanut butter
Ummm, sticky, let's see. Sticky means that the peanut butter sticks to anything and everything. The roof of your mouth, your hand, the knife, the glass you try to drink from to wash it down, and even the clothes you are wearing. A 'sticky' character would be one who sticks to things almost automatically. I don't mean they will 'stick' by your side; I mean they will walk by things that don't belong to them and the items just stick to their hands (not their fault, you see). Sticky personalities can be smooth when they want to be and then stick something in their pocket when you aren't looking. Yeah, it's sticky peanut butter all right!
Hmmn, gooey--Gooey peanut butter is slimy, oozie, and even gross sometimes. The Gooey character can be smooth and easy going, getting people to believe their desperate pleas for help and then, just as you think you have done your best, they will ooze up to your side and tell you they are desperate once more. He/she can slip away unseen, and ooze back when the coast is clear. He/she can move slowly across the distance and suddenly they plop right in front of you to draw more of whatever you have away from you. Yeah, I do believe that would be gooey peanut butter.
Thick and Heavy peanut butter
I think these two go together--Thick, heavy peanut butter will weigh down a sandwich, but with slow deliberate moves, and then drop out just as you take a bite. This type of character will be soft and sweet, the best around, offering the world as help to you, until you really need them. Then, with a heavy 'dollop' of guilt and agony, they will be 'dropping' out of your sight till the work is done. Yet, never will they believe that they haven't always been there whenever you needed them. They will swear they have always done their part and how dare you say otherwise. Yeah, thick (stubborn) and heavy (with the guilt they place on you).
Sweet peanut butter
Sweet peanut butter is only sweet when we put it with something sweet like peanut butter and chocolate or peanut butter cookies. But like several of the descriptions above, a sweet personality (when matched with peanut butter) occurs only occasionally and only when it desires to be sweet. Wouldn't want to know what would happen if they desired to be unsweet.......
So, we have come to the end and I ask again....
Do you know anyone that is like peanut?
In Conclusion
So there you have it. Peanut butter compared to people. I guess, if you look deep enough, you can find a little bit of peanut butter in all of us; yep, even those who are allergic to peanuts. What a breakthrough! What a revelation! What a bunch of, well, let's be nice and say 'fiction'. I hope you don't have to deal with any peanut butter personalities; but if you do, just picture them oozing out of two slices of bread and you'll be just fine.

Please be sure to comment and let me know how I have done!
Love the pun, cherylone! ; ) You are welcome!
Interesting concept...I never have thought of personalities that way, but I get it. ; ) Pretty clever thoughts there, Missy! Voted up and interesting.
clever. I've never heard of comparing people to peanut butter :o)
Interesting and funny hub! I really enjoyed reading it. Voted up!
I kept reading, and thinking of what a cast of characters you must have encountered in your life to be so conversant with them. I could wish you better, but then peanut butter is one staple of my diet!
OMG....never even thought about it,but you described just about everybody in my family..we're all a little "nutty"..loved your take on this subject..
I could not at first think of any Peanut butter character. But as I eased and thought of it, I started to recognize the different types as you describe. So I have the entire list ready and I think I too am one of the types of peanut butters mentioned.
Funny and very interesting new angle to gossiping

While Glacier National Park is not located in Washington State, it's a popular getaway spot from Seattle. Not that Washington doesn't have its fair share of beautiful places, but Glacier National Park is a stellar and special place often called the Crown of the Continent. View wildlife like Grizzly bears and moose, as well as native plant and bird species. Glacier, along with its neighbor Waterton Lakes National Park across the border in Canada, are both designated Biosphere Reserves and World Heritage sites.
Of course, most people want to see some glaciers up close when they visit the park, and visitors can do just that as well as learn about the history of glaciers in the area. Many of the features of the mountains in the park were formed by glaciers, and you can see glacial retreat up close and personal here.
Glacier National Park is not too far away from Seattle, located in northern Montana, meaning this national park is easy to get to. But even better, there are a few different ways to get there, each of which offers a unique experience. Plan on spending at least three days for your trip — longer if you drive or take the train.
Take a Road Trip
Driving from Seattle to Glacier National Park takes just long enough to have an adventure, but isn't so long that the kids will be miserable or you'll run out of patience for the journey. At between a 9- and 10-hour drive, the drive can easily be done in one day if you just want to get it over with, or you can break it into two days and enjoy some sights along the way — and there are indeed some very cool things to see and do along the way. The drive between the Seattle area and Glacier National Park is one of the best road trips in the Northwest.
The most direct path between the two points is to take I-90 from Seattle and into Montana, and then turn off at MT-133 and continue from there onto MT-28 E and US-93 N to get to the park entrance. It's on I-90 where most of your adventure awaits. Between Seattle and Spokane, there's a number of things to stop and do, including exploring (or at least snapping a few photos of) Snoqualmie Falls, sampling fresh fruit at road stands in Eastern Washington (especially if you're driving during cherry season!), catching views from the Wild Horse Monument overlooking the Columbia River, or stopping for wine or a spa treatment at Cave B Winery. Even with a few stops, you can make it to Spokane by nightfall and stay the night. Spokane is roughly the halfway point. Couer D'alene, Idaho (just a few miles east of Spokane) is another potential overnight spot. Much smaller than Spokane and with twice the charm, Couer D'alene is a lovely place to have dinner and a stroll along the lake after.
Take the Train
Perhaps the most interesting way to get to Glacier National Park from Seattle is to take an Amtrak train. You can board the train right at King Street Station in Seattle, and the train delivers you to the West Glacier Station within the park bounds. The train ride is a bit slower than driving, at 14.5 hours. The best train to take is the Amtrak Empire Builder, which offers a direct route versus other itineraries that may have you switching trains or even getting onto a bus (and extending the travel time).
Riding the Empire Builder, you can choose from coach seats on the upper or lower level of the train or a Superliner Roomette — go for the roomette if you can at all afford it. Having some space to spread out and relax makes all the difference in turning a train ride from tedious to fun. Roomettes have meals in the dining car included, and the seats convert into beds to sleep for the night. Along the way, you'll enjoy views of rugged landscapes and open skies, especially after you get out of Western Washington. You can even book packages that combine a train trip with hotels and tours of the park if you want to have all the details squared away in one go.
Take a Plane
Of course, if what you seek is the shortest, sweetest way to get to Glacier National Park so you have more time to spend at the park itself, flying is the only way to go. Sure, you'll skip out on adventures and scenery along the way, but you'll also be at the park gates in a couple of hours. From Sea-Tac Airport, you can catch flights to one of a few airports in the vicinity of the park — Glacier Park International Airport in Kalispell, Montana, is about 30 miles from the West Entrance; Missoula International Airport is 150 miles from the West Entrance; and Great Falls International Airport is about 150 miles from several of the park entrances.
Once you land, car rentals are available at all of the airports, or you can catch a shuttle to the park from Glacier Park International Airport.
