What Urban Wood Looks Like
Locally-sourced. Responsibly-produced. Salvaged. Reclaimed. Re-purposed. There are many reasons why business owners and homeowners seek out building materials native to Wisconsin. Whether they are environmentally-conscious, looking to support local businesses, or want to celebrate the vibrant community in which we live, products with a story provide a connection that resonates with all who pass through the finished space.
Urban wood comes exclusively from trees that have been removed due to circumstance. In the lumber-making process, the entire tree is recovered and put to its highest and best use — two key tenets of sustainable urban forestry.
A large part of urban wood's story is the one that each board tells without speaking a word:
- With nature in charge of inventory, available quantities and species vary by what the forest gives.
- Rich and varied character across species is a window into the life the tree lived — constraints, adaptations, damage, and all.
- The entire log is used in every order, yielding the entire spectrum of possible grades from clear to full of character
- No two boards are alike, making every application a work of art
Following are limited examples of the inherent qualities available in Wisconsin Urban Wood across species. Samples were treated with a clear coat.

Last week, I wrote about Walmart's Earth Day contest to give $20,000 to one school for going green. To enter, students, parents, or teachers simply need to submit an essay about the things their school is doing to go green. Now, while you're in essay writing mode, I have another green school contest to tell you about...America's Greenest School.
Winners of the America's Greenest School contest will receive a hybrid school bus for their school district and $3,000 in school supplies plus a $5,000 scholarship for the author of the winning essay. The contest is open to students only. To win, kids just need to write an essay about how their school makes an effort to go green. Contest ends April 30th.

Weekend Tunes: Pen Pals
This weekend I thought I'd post about something a little different! My good bud Alana, from Fancy! Design Blog and I have quite similar music tastes in that, they are both excellent (if I do say so myself) we're both quite partial to hip-hop i.e. it features as a good 80% of what we listen to and when we were having a good Skype catch up a few months ago decided we should send each other mix cd's. Take it back to 98.
|Image borrowed from here
I used to love making mix cd's. In the olden days, before everyone had iPods and MP3 players, we only had cd players in our cars (or tape players with these annoying tape like things you'd put in then connect to your discman) and had to either buy our music from a physical shop or burn a new disc, running the risk it would crap out right at the end and you'd have to start all over again. This would happen to me a lot. Before that it was tapes, and that was just a lot of stopping, starting and using a pencil to fix things.
The trick with making an excellent mix for a friend is not only track selection, but order too. It has to flow, compliment the track played before and not stick out like a sore thumb. Don't just bung it on there in alphabetical order, put some time and thought into it. Clearly, I take this too seriously.
Here is a list of the tunes I put on Alana's Mega-Mix of Awesome, pretty much some of my all time favourite tunes…
Deep Concentration Gangstarr
So Far To Go (instrumental) J Dilla
Kick It To The Beat J-Live
If You Only Knew Jurassic 5
Couching Writer LEGACY
Brown Sugar Mos Def
Round of Applause The Nextmen feat. Dynamite MC
Keepin It Live People Under The Stairs

Fancy having a go yourself? These awesome USB stick mix tapes are a good place to start! Go on, go make one and post it to a friend.

The study is published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
Researcher Adam Grant of The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania was driven to explore the relationship between sales and personality traits after realizing there was a significant gap in research on the topic.
"Although there are plenty of claims in the literature that more extraverted salespeople would perform better, the evidence was surprisingly weak," says Grant.
Based on his own research, Grant predicted that extraverts wouldn't outshine everyone else — rather, people who had qualities of both extraversion and introversion would be the most effective in making and closing sales.
Grant is a widely recognized expert on the science behind initiative, leadership, and work motivation, and is the author of the new book Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success. For this particular study, he conducted a personality survey and collected three-month sales records for more than 300 salespeople, both men and women.
Just as he predicted, the people who had intermediate extraversion scores turned out to be the best salespeople. They raked in about 24% more in revenue than introverts, and a whopping 32% more in revenue than extroverts over the three-month period.
Grant was surprised to find that people on the two ends of the spectrum — extreme introverts and extreme extraverts — brought in relatively equal amounts of revenue.
The study's findings suggest that the classic stereotype of the extraverted salesperson misses an important concept: Personality traits like extraversion have costs and benefits. The same attributes that facilitate job performance at moderate levels can become "too much of a good thing" at extreme levels.
Extreme extraverts might lose sales because they don't listen carefully enough to their customers, dominating the conversation with their own perspectives and ideas. At the same time, extraverts might be assertive and enthusiastic to a fault, leaving customers wary and cautious about being manipulated.
Ambiverts, on the other hand, seem to strike a balance between the two personality traits:
"The ambivert advantage stems from the tendency to be assertive and enthusiastic enough to persuade and close, but at the same time, listening carefully to customers and avoiding the appearance of being overly confident or excited," Grant explains.
Personality data indicate that most people fall into the ambivert range, so the average Jane or Joe may actually be better suited for sales than the stereotypical salesperson we're likely to think of.
Grant believes that this research has the power to inform job applicants, managers, and training staff alike.
Managers, for example, can work to make sure that their selection and hiring processes aren't biased in favor of extraverts. And training staff should keep in mind that training extraverts to hone their listening skills may be just as important as training introverts to develop their assertiveness and enthusiasm.
The APS journal Psychological Science is the highest ranked empirical journal in psychology. For a copy of the article "Rethinking the Extraverted Sales Ideal: The Ambivert Advantage" and access to other Psychological Science research findings, please contact Anna Mikulak at 202-293-9300

Folks, I just uploaded a review of a WHOLE CASE of 1973 DoP Food packet, Survival, Abandon Ship on Youtube and here is the link if you wanna check it out!
I even smoke a 42 year old Pall Mall. I must be crazy.
As I'm catching up on older post, my apologies for very late response/questions... this one is for steve1989 since I've witness his rare smokes... why were cigarettes a mainstay in the early days of survival rations?.. very historical/interesting thread, thanks.
Hey Mahalo and BTemple!
First off to Mahalo, very good question!
You know, cigarettes were such a staple addiction back throughout the 20th century in the U.S. - in the 40's and 50's for example, tobacco had no surgeon general warning - people knew it wasn't healthy, but the denial and lack of medical understanding was universal.
So since such a large percentage of individuals as a whole were nicotine addicts - soldiers were no different. And in a survival situation out on a raft in the middle of the ocean or out stuck on an island in the pacific.. one extra thing that is potentially detrimental is nicotine withdrawal.
A soldier having nicotine withdrawal will have risk of headaches, nausea and intestinal cramping leading to vomiting and fluid/electrolyte loss, difficulty focusing on tasks, irritable to others, increased sweating, depression, etc.
And to BTemple's absolutely correct addition of, it was simply a morale boost. You are in a survival situation - imagine how nice it would be to take a moment to gather your thoughts and have a relaxing smoke? Also good point - they are like natural punk sticks! (those are the weird slow burning things you use to light fireworks with)
Also, if nearby a village a soldier could use tobacco as trade to the locals. Perhaps a little 4 pack of Camels and 4 pack of Phillip Morris could land a non-smoking sailor or pilot a place to stay for refuge until the proper help can arrive and extract the soldier. Also there are survival kits out there that had gold coins as universal currency essentially for that very same reason. Or to perhaps trade for food, water, medicine, or a guide to some safe refuge.
So in a nut shell, the cigarettes had multi-purpose reasons for being in Survival Rations, and I feel it is a shame tobacco is no longer included in any.
Thanks so much guys for reading my long rambling reply.

Synopsis: Cinder returns in the second thrilling installment of the New York Times-bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She's trying to break out of prison—even though if she succeeds, she'll be the Commonwealth's most wanted fugitive.Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit's grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn't know about her grandmother and the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother's whereabouts, she has no choice but to trust him, though he clearly has a few dark secrets of his own.
Synopsis: June and Day arrive in Vegas just as the unthinkable happens: the Elector Primo dies, and his son Anden takes his place. With the Republic edging closer to chaos, the two join a group of Patriot rebels eager to help Day rescue his brother and offer passage to the Colonies. They have only one request—June and Day must assassinate the new Elector.
It's their chance to change the nation, to give voice to a people silenced for too long.
How to describe Prodigy ? ; ending makes you go "WHAT?!", love and loyalty are called into question and Day oddly gets upstaged... by his hair. Prodigy is certainly a "smart" sequel. It makes you look at Legend in a completely different matter and you learn that not everything is what it seems. We see June and Day actively standing up for what they believe in while still being faithful to each other. We also get to see a bit more of the world they live in and it's very eye-opening. Lu's writing is visual and engrosses you into the plot. We are talking scaling buildings, explosions and high stakes. I have to admit I still want to know why Lu made the characters so young ? I have this theory that the next book will take place like a year or two in the future. I don't know why I just do. I'm a big fan of both of these narrators, but I wanted a little bit more from June's narrator, Mariel Stern. Her voice just doesn't scream 15 year old girl.
Spaceships, evil aliens and cyborgs all add up to be a fast paced all-around epic Star Wars-esque space adventure. In Scarlet Cinder shares page-time (?) with Scarlet, a young French farm girl who is looking for her missing grandmother. This sequel answered a lot of questions left in Cinder and did what good sequels should do; reminded me why I like the original story while throwing in a few curve balls and obstacles for the characters. Also did you wonder were the smarmy bad boy was in The Lunar Chronicles ? Well he shows up as the arrogant American, Captain Carswell Thorne. Move over Prince Kai, who by the way doesn't have as much presence in this book. Narrator Rebecca Soler had her hands juggling different accents and inflections, but her performance was amazing and she ramps up her acting.
Final Thoughts
As sequels both novels take vastly different approach. Scarlet expands the story of Cinder while introducing new characters and story-lines. Despite all of this, it was much more of an origin story. We don't actually solve any problems, just build stakes. The Lunar Chronicles feels more like a continuous story and we haven't arced just yet.
Prodigy starts off fast and ends in a rather clean story arc. I'm glad the story didn't go into the direction I thought it would. It was super intense and a fun read, but I just can't figure out where this story is going and that is what keeps me coming back.
Winner: This is a tough one, but I have to give it to Scarlet. I feel that Meyer has a better grasp of her setting and world-building. She makes space alien queens seem realistic. Not to mention Soler's phenomenal job on the audio book.
Either way if you don't have an Audible membership sign up for a free trial to experience one or both of these amazing audio books.

Happy 3rd Birthday Roxy! We can't believe how big you are and how much you have grown. Baba and I are so proud of who you are and who you are becoming. We love being your parents and we love you with all of our hearts.
Roxy is 3! I can't believe it! I know everyone says that kids grow up quickly. But I didn't expect Roxy to grow this quickly. (How many other 3 year olds do you know that have grown more than 4 inches in 1 year?!) I just wish Roxy could stay small forever. When we first brought Roxy home she was still very babylike in her words and actions and even in her size. But I look at Roxy now and I see a feisty little girl. She's so happy, and so affectionate. In some ways she is typical of most girls her age. She loves Frozen, My Little Ponies, and Hello Kitty. Her favorite color is pink. She likes to dance around our house. Her favorite hobbies are coloring, painting, playing with musical toys, and riding her tricycle.
We had a very small birthday party for Roxy with mostly family and a few close friends. I tried really hard to think of a theme that wasn't Frozen but there were just so many good ideas for a Frozen party that I capitulated. We rented a bounce house for the kids. But one of Roxy's presents also turned out to be a huge hit. We got Roxy this Extreme Coaster. It's basically a little cart that the kids ride down these plastic tracks. The weight limit is pretty low, but being petite, let's just say I fit under the weight limit. I was also the only adult at the party to ride the Extreme Coaster. YOLO!
Roxy was scared and timid when we first adopted her. You could see her fear in our videos. But today, she is a secure little girl, surrounded by a loving community of family and friends. She is extroverted and will happily chat with her friends at school or anybody who happens to be around. But I'm proud of her too for many reasons. Her English has improved so much and she is so verbal now. I can count on Roxy to tell me how she is feeling or what she wants, even if she doesn't really know what words to say. "Mama, no fun gow! (sleep in Cantonese) Ice cream?" Roxy has taken to her ABCs with a vengeance and can now count to 20. But I think I'm most proud of the fact that Roxy has a heart for others. I am continually amazed by her selfless acts and her empathy. I've seen her approach a crying child, and make sincere efforts to cheer them up. She is very in tune with the needs of others (believe me, she knows to hand Mama a Ginger Elizabeth chocolate bar if Mama is having a rough day=).
Roxy, I hope you had a good birthday sweetheart! Never forget how much Baba and I love you! I can't wait to see what you will do each day or who you will become.
And to the rest of you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for lifting up our family and especially our daughter Roxy.

Anatomy of a Single Girl
About the Book
Anatomy of a Single Girl
With Judy Blume-like honesty and insight, this sequel to Anatomy of a Boyfriend is about life after first love--romance, sex, friendship, family, and the ups and downs of life as a single girl.
After everything that happened—my first boyfriend, my first time, my first breakup—jumping back into the dating game seemed like the least healthy thing I could do. It's not that I didn't want to fall in love again, since that's about the best feeling ever. But as a busy college premed still raw from heartbreak, which is the worst feeling ever, I figured I'd lie low for a while. Of course, as soon as I stopped looking for someone, an impossibly amazing—and devastatingly cute—guy came along, and I learned that having a new boyfriend is the quickest way to recover from losing your old one.
The moment we got together, all my preconceptions about romance and sex were turned upside down. I discovered physical and emotional firsts I never knew existed. I learned to let go of my past by living in the present. It was thrilling. It was hot. It was just what the doctor ordered.
But I couldn't avoid my future forever.
In Daria Snadowsky's daring follow-up to Anatomy of a Boyfriend, eighteen-year-old Dominique explores the relationship between love and lust, and the friendships that see us through.

In the wake of one of the most embarrassing losses for one of the historical powerhouses of European club football, Sky Sports UK have almost outdone former European champions Celtic in terms of forgettable moments.
Yesterday morning (NZT), the 47-time Scottish champions travelled to Gibraltar to take on reigning Gibraltarian champions Lincoln Red Imps for the first of two legs of the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.
Playing competitively for the first time under the management of former Liverpool manager Brendon Rodgers in front of the 5000-capacity Victoria Stadium, the Scottish club were stunned by the semi-professional side, coming up short in a 1-0 loss in what is being regarded as one of the most embarrassing losses in Celtic's 128-year history.
With a player who has a day job as a police officer scoring the sole goal for Lincoln Red Imps, Rodgers insisted he was not embarrassed by the defeat, as he looks to triumph in the second leg at home on Thursday monring (NZT) to avoid being knocked out of Europe's premier club competition in the qualification stages by a semi-professional side that is the champion of a nation whose population is just 30,000.
The fake facts the fooled Sky News
As news of the result filtered out, news agencies scrambled to grasp onto any information they could find about the lowly Gibraltarian side that had just conquested the might of the Scottish powerhouses.
However, some news agencies did not fully research or check the information they found about Lincoln Red Imps, as Sky Sports UK soon found out in embarrassing fashion.
Discussing the outcome of the result live on-air, Sky Sports anchor Mike Wedderburn proclaimed that the semi-professional club has an average attendance of just 28, and that their players are unable to train on Tuesdays as their pitches are being used by members of the local metal detecting society, both facts being entirely untrue.
The two false statements came from Twitter user @WeahsCousin, who posted on his Twitter account shortly after the conclusion of the game.
Unfortunately for the Sky Sports news team, they used the Twitter account's 'facts', leaving the sports news outfit red-faced, although maybe not quite as red-faced as Celtic currently have been since yesterday mornings result.

The European Federation of Journalists launched together with partners a Europe-wide campaign Media Against Hate, to counter hate speech and discrimination in the media.
A website www.mediaagainsthate.
A series of trainings and workshops will be organised for media professionals, representatives of CSOs and media regulators across Europe to exchange best practices and promote mutual learning and cooperation activities. In addition, a video contest will be launched in January as part of the campaign to collect a diverse range of best practices with counter-narratives fighting stereotypes and discrimination in the media.
The project aims to counter hate speech and discrimination in the media, both on and offline, by promoting ethical standards, while maintaining respect for freedom of expression. The work is underpinned by the belief that the rights to equality and freedom of expression are mutually reinforcing and essential to human dignity.
The media and journalists play a crucial role in informing both policy and societal opinion regarding migration and refugees. As hate speech and stereotypes targeting migrants proliferate across Europe, balanced and fair media reporting is needed more than ever. Despite some good journalism practices, additional training and resources for media professionals and media organisations will help promote dialogue and democratic processes.
For more information and regular updates, please visit the website and use the hashtag #MediaAgainstHate on Twitter.
The partners on the project are: ARTICLE 19, Media Diversity Institute (MDI), Croatian Journalists' Association (CJA), Cooperazione per lo Sviluppo dei Paesi Emergenti (COSPE), Community Media Institute (COMMIT), Community Media Forum Europe (CMFE).

In 2007, Namibia got its first World Cultural Heritage: the Rock Carvings of Twyfelfontein.
In June 2013 the UNESCO decided to add a second one: The Namib Sand Sea.
On its homepage the UNESCO states: "Namib Sand Sea is the only coastal desert in the world that includes extensive dune fields influenced by fog. Covering an area of over three million hectares and a buffer zone of 899,500 hectares, the site is composed of two dune systems, an ancient semi-consolidated one overlain by a younger active one. The desert dunes are formed by the transportation of materials thousands of kilometres from the hinterland, that are carried by river, ocean current and wind. It features gravel plains, coastal flats, rocky hills, inselbergs within the sand sea, a coastal lagoon and ephemeral rivers, resulting in a landscape of exceptional beauty. Fog is the primary source of water in the site, accounting for a unique environment in which endemic invertebrates, reptiles and mammals adapt to an ever-changing variety of microhabitats and ecological niches." (http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1430/)
This area is part of the Naukluft Park, a protected area first proclaimed in 1907. "Namib-Naukluft National Park" was expanded until 1986 when it reached its largest size: 49,768 km2 – a size larger than Switzerland.
This truly remarkable area attracts geographers, ecologists, hikers and tourists. On a larger scale, flights and balloon trips provide breathtaking views of the beautiful natural formations of dunes and mountains.
How to get there:
Access from the northern side is via Swakopmund or Walvis Bay. But the most popular access to the park is at Sesriem ans Sossusvlei further south, which can be accessed from Windhoek in a day.
Most roads in the park are gravel, though normally navigable in a 2WD. The exception is the roads around Groot Tinkas and Gemsbokwater campsites, which require a 4WD. Permits are not necessary for visitors travelling on the public roads through the park. Should there be a need for a permit, you will be informed and get the permit at all the gates. MET offices in Swakopmund or Windhoek also help you with the permits and the planning.

Kansas City NORML Moves One Step Closer to Decriminalizing Marijuana
Great news for marijuana consumers in Kansas City, Missouri! After months of back and forth meetings with city officials, NORML KC, the local chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of marijuana laws, has received approval to move forward with a municipal initiative to decriminalize marijuana possession offenses. If passed, the measure will amend local laws regarding the possession of up to 35 grams of marijuana for adults age 21 and up from a criminal misdemeanor, punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine to a civil offense punishable by a $25 fine — no arrest or criminal record. Read the full text of the initiative by clicking, here!
With a deadline of August 25, 2016 to collect the 1,703 signatures needed to qualify the initiative for a vote, the organization's executive director, Jamie Kacz, is hoping to gather more than 2,300 to offset the possibility of some signatures being deemed invalid. Mrs. Kacz and her volunteers started the process of collecting signatures during last week's First Friday Art Festival at the Crossroads Art District and will continue to work hard over the next twelve weeks.
"Current laws are unreasonably harsh and now is the perfect opportunity to make a change. It's time for Kansas City to take this sensible step forward," Kacz said. "This will be a grassroots effort and passionate volunteers will be an essential part of our efforts".
If you live in Kansas City, be on the lookout for volunteers with NORML KC as they're out and about with petitions looking to reform your city's marijuana laws! Make sure you follow NORML KC on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date with future events and announcements!

Let me know when you start on the Kansas side of KC.
Yeah Missouri. That's a one big happy baby step towards freedom from federal prohibition. What about the Kansas side? Missouri is cool except for their state swat team.
Possession of any amount up to 35 grams grouped all into one category and a penalty still attached, admittedly much smaller than before, we can agree it's progress but still disappointing.
Missing here is the ultimate grand compromise, a ONE-GRAM exemption! One gram is forty (40) single tokes in a 5.5-mm-diameter screened crater flexdrawtube oneheater, so obviously no one needs to carry around more than a gram at a time just for personal use or even to serve a friend or two.
Agitation for this change needs to be coupled with simple technical instruction how to make one-hitters (see the free wiki article "12 Easy Ways to Make a Flexdrawtube Oneheater") and a campaign to eliminate from use the 500-mg Hot Burn Overdose Monoxide Paperpuff Joint which has served as a "Trojan Horse" luring youngsters into nicotine tobackgo $igarette addiction, illness, early death and massive social costs.
Need to get started in Ks. Or is there some place where I can get some.."use medicinally' "chronic arthritis, schlolisis..dentist left infection in gums, loosing feeling in face due to nerve damage..have two lumps growing in breast… "stupid doctors'…helps me in many different ways…
Hey Robin, In Kansas, there are too many keyboard warriors but not enough activists. Look up Kansas for Change, Fire It up Kansas, Kansas for Marijuana, and Bleeding Kansas, Legalization of Marijuana in Kansas, Kansas Republicans for Medical Marijuana and Kansas for Medical Marijuana. It has so many groups but it appears they are not all that connected to make significant progresses. Look it all up on Facebook and get actions going so you can get your medicines from a dispensary.
I'm so proud of what Missouri is accomplishing. Please don't take this momentum for granted; read the rules clearly and be prepared for court, like Detroit is;
The repercussions of Missouri legalizing will be awesome for not only the surrounding states, but for movement on legalization at the Federal level. Show Me Marijuana Legalization!
OK Missouri, let's make it a race. Is has already lowered sentencing drag lines. Let's legalize now!
LET'S SHOW OUR SUPPORT FOR NORML!!!! After All, This Is The "SHOW ME STATE", Isn't It?????

- Cyril Colnik: Man of Iron Strekow, Alan J.$45.00
With the conclusion of the 1893 Columbian Exposition, Cyril Colnik arrived in Milwaukee at the perfect moment. During the last quarter of the nineteenth century, Milwaukee had become well known for its myriad of industries that included brewing, tanning, publishing, meat packing and machine manufacturing. A large part of Colnik's immediate success can be both literally and figuratively the result of his many German-American clients. They appreciated that Colnik already had the knowledge and talent to bring the ornate wrought iron ornament style of the Rhine to his newly adopted city. While Colnik was able to forge amazing designs in iron, he was also an excellent manager of the men whom he hired to embark on his growing commissions. He was a very sophisticated artist respected by everyone.

The North American ski industry is launching a new initiative to "share the passion of the mountains" with children, prompted by some cold, hard numbers.
A recent study commissioned by the Snowsports Industries of America, an association of equipment manufacturers and apparel makers, found that the lifetime "value" of a skier who begins skiing at the age of 25 is $14,466, whereas the value of a skier who begins at age 10 is $52,024. Presented with the possibility of nearly quadrupling their return by getting more children into skiing and snowboarding, the industry is taking note.
"We know our organization has not prospered in the last few years, its kind of stagnated. And its probably our own fault," Craig Cook, president of Travel Organizers, a Colorado tour company, said while in Whistler two weeks ago for the Ski Tour Operators Association meeting.
Skitops, a non-profit trade group of travel companies specializing in ski tours, is just one of the players in the new campaign to turn children on to skiing and boarding. Ski resorts, equipment manufacturers, instructors, skiing and snowboarding publications, video producers and ski show promoters are all represented in the effort.
"Its so critical its not just us as tour operators doing it, its the tour operators together with the suppliers, the property management companies, transportation companies, the airlines, its Colorado Ski Country USA, its the Utah association, its the handicap ski association its everybody working together towards a common goal instead of each trying to do our little individual thing," Cook said.
In recent years the ski industry has launched several attempts to boost the number of people coming into the sport, but most efforts have been piecemeal and not well co-ordinated throughout the industry. Snowboarding provided a shot in the arm in the last decade, despite early attempts by some resorts to ban the sport. But the growth of snowboarding hasnt made up for the ageing baby boomer population that is getting out of skiing. Several studies have shown that the absolute number of North Americans participating in alpine skiing and/or snowboarding has remained stagnant for nearly 20 years. The pie hasnt gotten any bigger.
Five years ago the member resorts of Colorado Ski Country USA launched the Grade 5 ski program, based on studies which found that people who learn to ski or ride at 10 years of age are most likely to make the sport a lifetime activity. Under the program, each participating ski area makes available three free day passes to each Grade 5 student. Twelve states in the U.S. now have Grade 5 ski pass programs. Canadian ski areas have had a similar program for the past four years.

Summary of Why Turkey Turned Its Back on the United States and Embraced Russia
Foreign Affairs, 2019
Looking for the article?
We have the summary! Get the key insights in just 5 minutes.
- Overview
- Background
- Concrete Examples
By now, keen observers of international politics recognize that the alliance between Turkey and the United States is no longer what it once was. Turkey has, increasingly, been asserting its independence vis-à-vis the United States. Most notably, Turkey has defied its ally in instances where working with Russia better suited Turkey's immediate interests. Middle East expert Aaron Stein provides background and explanations for the growing rift between the two NATO allies, laying down the facts rather than passing judgment on either of the two sides.

Kjaer Weis-Make-Up Collection by Marc Atlan
Marc Atlan Shows The Kjaer Weis Make-Up Collection
Marc Atlan, the maker of the awarded work Make-up collection:Kjaer Weis by Marc Atlan demonstrates, The design of the Kjaer Weis cosmetics line distills the fundamentals of women's makeup to its three essential areas of application: lips, cheeks and eyes. We designed compacts shaped to mirror the features they will be used to enhance: slim and long for the lips, large and square for the cheeks, small and round for the eyes. Tangibly, the compacts swivel open with an innovative lateral movement, fanning out like the wings of a butterfly. Entirely refillable, these compacts are purposely conserved rather than recycled..

"Never mind, I don't care," Takanashi lied. That's where he finds himself at the beginning of this week: in denial of his feelings for Ishino and the feeling that he's letting her slip away in his friend Sakurada's arms. This week Sakurada is revealed as less of a character (or viable love interest to Ishino) and more of a catalyst for Takanashi to stop playing games.
When his mom ends up in hospital with a mild concussion, Takanashi hits the supermarket so he make hijiki for Anzu, and on his way out, he runs into Ishino, who can just tell something's up. Takanashi resists the urge to tell her to butt out of his business (in fact she's the one to bring up her meddling), but does tell her he doesn't need her pity.
That grinds Ishino's gears, as it should: forget never giving her the time of day: Takanashi has a serious habit of acting cool to hide his emotional struggles. He relents and asks Ishino to join him at his house, since she knows how to make hijiki.
Ishino also has a problem: it's virtually impossible for her say "no" to Takanashi, no matter how selfish or mocking his request. But this isn't about him playing games; it's about him actually making some kind of effort, in his way, to let her know that her help at the house would be tolerated, appreciated…even preferred.
Meanwhile, someone who would prefer it if Hikari were to fall into a ditch and die is Iroha's brother Chika, who has heard about the two of them going on an overnight trip. Hikari insists nothing will happen (which isn't exactly fair to Iroha, if she wants something to happen!) and that the trip had to be postponed anyway; Chika gets his lick and death threat in anyway.
That feels like the first real ripple in Hikari and Iroha's relationship in ages, and even then it's due to a third party, not any conflict between the two of them. Back at Takanashi's it's pure domestic bliss—complete with spousal bickering, something Anzu probably isn't used to considering they have a single parent.
Their argument is over whether Takanashi is justified in limiting Anzu's exposure to Kaoru, or whether he's just being overprotective and even petty. Ishino and Takanashi make up in front of Anzu to calm her, but it isn't long before they're at it again, and this time it's when he brings up Sakurada.
He asks, and almost orders Ishino not to go on the date with Sakurada, a serious request that he treats with his usual teasing jocularity (doesn't want anyone taking his "pet"). While Takanashi is again trying his best to say what he wants to say, the fact is his best isn't quite good enough. He has to be better.
He runs after a crying Ishino to apologize, and also properly explain his feelings: he feels like she'll be an important part of his life, and if he lets her go on a date with his friend, he will regret it. So he asks if she'll be his girlfriend, a question Ishino has been waiting for so long it barely feels real.
It's been a recurring joke for him to immediately reject her when she asks him, but when he finally asks her, she's just as quick in saying "yes." Then he kisses her, daring to open a "door to a frightening world", but opening it nonetheless. I have no doubt he'll still tease her (and she'll tease him back) but at least now there's no doubt about his feelings.
Shifting from Newly-formed couples to Recently-formed couples, Itou ends up alone at Ayado's house when something "comes up" with her parents. After four hours of wholesome video game-playing, Ayado can't take it anymore: she wants to make out.
Itou worries that he'd be betraying her parents' trust in him if he did anything with her, but Ayado disagrees. Ayado wants him to do something, and will be dejected and miserable if he doesn't. You're good, dude…Carry On. And carry on they do…though the episode is somewhat coy about how far.
Back to the couple that inspired all these new doors being opened: Iroha comes over for dinner with Hikari's whole family again and has an absolute blast, as always. She loves how kind his family is, and how it explains why he's so kind. Case in point: he offers to walk Iroha home, but she declines.
I can't have been the only one to think that slightly awkward goodbye was foreboding, and what do you know, the next day Iroha is at the hospital talking with the doctor Hikari thought she was dating back in the beginning, telling her "it has to stop," presumably due to her undisclosed health condition.
While new doors have been opened for the others, it looks like Iroha and Hikari's is going to start closing. It's something both of them have known would eventually come to pass. I just wish we had more of an explanation about why there's such a seemingly firm clock on her life expectancy. At least Hikari deserves to know, even if it crushes him.

After the state unburdened Biscuit Run developers by purchasing the would-be residential development as a park, Albemarle planners, developers, environmentalists and residents have debated whether or not to make up those 1,200 acres elsewhere. On Tuesday night, the Albemarle County Planning Commission will formally discuss the same.
A report compiled for updating the county's Comprehensive Plan lists applications for moving land into Albemarle's expansion area. However, the report also includes county staff's take on whether Biscuit Run left Albemarle with insufficient residential capacity to meet growth needs during the next 20 years. The answer? No.
"As provided in the prior section, based on projected population growth, 1,770 to 7,438 new units, in addition to the units which have been approved by recent rezoning, will be needed by the year 2030," states the report. "The prior section also indicated that capacity exists in the current land use designations of the Comprehensive Plan for 6,600 to 22,100 new units. At this juncture, it would appear that there is adequate inventory of existing designated land to meet residential needs to 2030." That means maximum growth projections would only use about one-third of maximum residential capacity currently designated.
The report notes that three parcels may have some future in the county's expansion area: Wendell Wood's 710-acre Somerset Farm, the Franklin Farm Complex on Stony Point Road, and 77 acres owned by Clara Bell Wheeler that were removed from the Development Area in 2008 when Wheeler decided to apply for a conservation easement. These three parcels represent 814 acres, although the planning commission considered only 300 acres of Wood's parcels in June. According to Wood's application, Somerset could support 1,900 residential units and two neighborhood centers, each sized at 350,000 square feet.
Read more in the report here, or turn out on Tuesday night. Or share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Jumped onto Fim again last night and proceeded to work on a couple of quests in Shadowmoon Valley. I hadn't done the Netherwing quests yet (I want to get to Neutral before 2.1 hits) so I went there to start the chain that leads to that. I killed the orcs and started gathering the crystals. As I was gathering, I got a "tell" asking me to help with Black Morass. I was summoned and we headed in. I guess they had been working on it for a while, but we tried one last time. We were doing pretty well until our Priest "bit the bucket". We tried getting everyone back up and in it and it looked like we were going to be able to make it, but the 2nd boss wiped the tank and we were toast. Got some nice Rep for it though.. Running BM is nice because there are so many bosses 🙂 (at least for rep you don't have to finish the thing).
After we had to call it a night on BM (after the 2nd boss wipe), I went back to try to get my last 2 crystals but accidentally stepped off the world (go ahead, call me a Noob). Since I couldn't get back to get my body, I just rezzed at the graveyard and called it a night.
I headed back to Ridge Racer 7 for a bit and also watched TV. Exciting evening I guess.
I think tonight is another Guild Kara run, hopefully I'll be invited. I will not be around Saturday or Sunday so I'd like to go tonight. Generally it seems like a lot of work for not all that much gain, but we'll see how it goes. As we all get geared up better and learn the encounters, it might go smoother. I'm really looking forward to 2.1 to jumpstart my playing again. I played a little of my Gnomie Lock and have been having fun there. The noobie quests are so inane. I need to get her some good gear too (LOL). I definately like the "pet" classes the best (especially for solo work). They should have a pet that heals you, that would be really cool (since they have TANK pets, right?)
Ah well, another day.. See ya'll later.

Man, 94, dies from heart attack after carjacking in Daytona Beach
Witnesses find elderly man lying on ground
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – A 94-year-old man died Thursday after being carjacked and suffering a heart attack, according to Daytona Beach police.
Police said witnesses spotted the man, identified as Vittario Vecchiarelli, lying on the ground in the 300 block of Woodland Avenue and saw his car, a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier, leaving the scene at a high rate of speed. The car was found abandoned just before midnight, but the carjacker remains on the loose.
Daytona police said Vecchiarelli fell victim when he stepped out of his car to grab his mail.
"We think a silver, wide-bodied pickup truck pulls up, a man jumps out, gets in the driver's seat and steals the victim's car," said Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood.
Witnesses tried to help Vecchiarelli back to his home after the incident. He was eventually taken to Halifax Hospital, where he died, according to police.
It is believed that Vecchiarelli may have run after his vehicle when the carjacker drove off, causing him to have a heart attack, according to police.
Joseph Ramsey told Local 6 how he tried to help save the life of Vecchiarelli, the neighbor he never knew.
"I looked and I saw him get up and fall, and so I ran over to him with another neighbor," said Ramsey. "I got him a lawn chair and sat him down on his front porch and was asking if he was hurt in any way, and suddenly he got that thousand-mile stare. He started puffing and I knew this didn't look good."
Chitwood said whoever is responsible will pay.
"Clearly we have a bunch of animals in our community that like to drive around and target elderly victims," said Chitwood. "It's felony murder in my opinion. In the process of committing a felony, the victim died."
Neighbors said Vecchiarelli lived alone and loved playing the piano inside his home. Police said he leaves behind an older sister.
Anyone with any information about the case is asked to call police.

Spain World soccer champions

Spain win, the World Cup creates history two years after winning the European title Euro champions now reign FIFA 2010 World Cup champions in a 1-0 win over the Netherlands in extra time. Andres Iniesta super strike by tireless midfielder scored lone goal at four minutes before end of extra time at Soccer City in Johannesburg on Sunday.
World Cup Soccer finals-record 13 yellow cards and one red were handed out and the Dutch finished with 10 men.Netherlands legions of orange-clad fans spread across the stadium wearing all orange crowd created colorful view but their first World Cup journey ended title tantalizingly as they failed in the final for the third time.Spain have lifted their maiden World Cup
Football title. In a drama-filled summit clash at the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg on Sunday night, they beat the Netherlands One-Nil.
With penalties looming for the second successive final Iniesta fired home the winner when he was put through in the area by Cesc Fabregas. Keeper Maarten Stekelenburg dived to his right and got a hand to the ball but could not keep it out.
The defeat was heartbreaking for the Dutch, who were down to 10 men after John Heitinga was sent off in extra time. It was their third World Cup final loss after 1974 and 1978.
Spain, appearing in their first final, become the second team after West Germany in 1974 to follow up winning the European championship by lifting the biggest prize of all. The Spaniards were also the first European team to win the World Cup on a foreign continent as they became the eighth name on the trophy first played for in 1930.The victory sees Spain join Brazil (five times winners), Italy (four), Germany (three), Uruguay (two), Argentina (two), England and France as world champions.
"It was a very difficult match," said Spain coach Vicente del Bosque. "We have fantastic players. We could have scored another goal or two but I think the result was deserved. It's a very happy day for me. Naturally, I'm proud." "It's unbelievable, incredible," added goalscorer Andres Iniesta. "It cost a lot of energy. To win a World Cup is an indescribable feeling. This was our work that we started a long time ago, it was hard work, but we're savouring this now."
Nobody in Spain will care but it was a ragged final, marred by a record 13 yellow cards and one red.After the goal and again at the final whistle the furious Dutch players surrounded English referee Howard Webb, claiming Iniesta was offside and also angry that Cares Puyol had escaped punishment when hauling down Arjen Robben late in normal time.
With the frenzy finish, there was little action in the first 90 minutes. Stekelenburg was forced into a save after five minutes when Sergio Ramos headed a Xavi cross goalwards while Spain forward David Villa crashed a volley into the side netting with the goal looming. A series of freekicks and bookings, including two strong challenges by Dutch midfielders Nigel de Jong and Mark van Bommel, shook Spain out of their rhythm and stopped them from producing the swift-passing game that got them to the final.
Netherlands offered little in attack and the nearest they came to a first-half goal was a bizarre incident when Gregory van der Wiel attempted to give the ball back in an act of sportsmanship.The fullback's 60-metre punt bounced up and over Spain captain Iker Casillas, forcing the startled keeper to leap and tip it to safety.
Wesley Sneijder then split the Spanish defence with a perfectly-weighted ball into the path of Robben after 62 minutes only for Casillas to save brilliantly with his feet. Villa had a shot blocked in front of the line, an unmarked Ramos headed wildly over the bar from five metres out and Puyol had his escape when Robben stayed on his feet as he was being pulled -- and was booked for complaining.
In extra time it was Stekelenburg's turn to save with his feet when substitute Fabregas was sent clear by Iniesta.Netherlands had to play with 10 men for the last 10 minutes of extra time when Heitinga was sent off for hauling down Iniesta on the edge of the box.The little midfielder got back on his feet and soon after was celebrating scoring the winner in the World Cup final after smashing the ball past Stekelenburg from eight metres.
After the restart Holland had a couple of good chances to score, Robben breaking free twice only to be thwarted by Casillas both times. Villa had a shot blocked on the line by Heitinga and Sergio Ramos headed the ball over the top with the goal at his mercy, but with the scoreline unmoved, the game went in to extra time.
Again Spain pushed forward, Stekelenberg having to be at his best to save from substitute Fábregas, and Iniesta and Navas both going close. But Holland were left with ten men after Heitinga picked up a second booking for a foul on Iniesta, and with just four minutes to go Fábregas put Iniesta through for him a drill a shot past the keeper. A goal worthy enough to win the World Cup, and Spain add the world title to the European championship they won two years ago!

Bloomberg Hit Hard by Blizzard Hearing
Admininstration officials testified today during a City Council Hearing on the response to the December 2010 blizzard.
Deputy Mayor Stephen Goldsmith admitted that the city's response was not as effective as it should have been.
At the hearing he leveled with the crowd, saying "look, we didn't do the job you expected. We didn't do the job that residents of New York City expected. Lots of mistakes were made [and] we acknowledge those. We're here to learn from those mistakes and promise to do better in the future."
Goldsmith outlined a 15 point action plan to address the issues that arose during last month's blizzard.
Improvements include establishing a formal protocol to declare snow emergencies and an outline portal where citizens can post photos and videos to provide emergency responders with real time information.

Shooting shocks PM
20 July, 2017, 12:00 am
Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull called the fatal shooting of an Australian woman by a Minneapolis police officer over the weekend "shocking" and "inexplicable" and said his diplomats were seeking answers from US authorities.
A Minneapolis police officer shot Justine Damond, who was originally from Sydney, around midnight on Saturday while responding to an emergency call she had placed about a possible assault behind her house in a quiet residential neighbourhood.
Mr Turnbull said he and the Australian consul-general in Chicago were "seeking answers" in a television interview on Wednesday morning in Australia (Tuesday evening in the US).
"How can a woman out in the street in her pyjamas seeking assistance be shot like that?" the prime minister said in an interview with Nine Network.
"It is a shocking killing, and yes, we are demanding answers on behalf of her family."
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which reviews shootings involving the police in Minneapolis, is seeking any civilian video of the incident and said the officer who shot Ms Damond, who has been identified in local media as Mohamed Noor, and another officer who was in the patrol car with him have been placed on administrative leave.
Ms Damond's family joined with friends and others in a silent dawn vigil on Sydney's Freshwater Beach, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported. A didgeridoo was played and a single rose thrown into the ocean.
Ms Damond died of a gunshot wound in the abdomen, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's office said in concluding that her death was a homicide.
Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges and the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota have questioned why Minneapolis police who fatally shot Ms Damond did not have their body cameras and vehicle dashboard camera turned on at the time.
Ms Damond, who was also known as Justine Ruszczyk, had taken the name of her fiance, Don Damond, ahead of their wedding. She owned a meditation and life-coaching company, according to her personal website.
Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau called Ms Damond's death "tragic" in a statement on Monday and promised a "transparent" investigation.
Mr Noor's lawyer, Tom Plunkett, said in a statement that Mr Noor extended his condolences to Ms Damond's family.
The statement did not describe Mr Noor's role in the shooting, and authorities have not confirmed the identities of the officers involved.
