Subject: Meltdown
I was on the fence about Europe, This show put me on a flight to Stockholm.
The Second Set even has a total meltdown jam. i just loved this show.
In retrospect i am so thankful to Hornsby for bringing Jerry and the band through the loss of Brent.

(earlier review by me below)
Uh..Brent was no longer with us then. I was just listening to the first set on the way home from work, thinking of how much fun I had at this show..A wonderful Ramble on Rose, All over Now and of course the surprise set ender US Blues. We had a perfect spot for watching this show..in an aisleway right behind the tapers right in the middle of the stage. Yes, Phil was thumping tremendously that night.

Subject: Wow
Easily one of the best Ramble On and China-Rider ever. Even the Truckin is just completely rocking, and by the time they got to that THING after Space into Playing we were just blown away beyond description. Also thought there was some serious Stephen Teasing going on that night, but that might just be the crowd willing it out of that jam. Also recall Hornsby standing up and just pounding the piano during the Rider....
And frankly i've probably rocked out a few hundred more times to this recording in the years since, so if you don't have it this is one not to miss. 9/10/91 might have been more unbelievable at the Garden at the time, but this is the best show musically i had the priveledge to see in my run with the band.

Subject: A must for any Dark Star fan
BTW, the China-Rider is awesome here too. The Dark Star is the longest of the modern era (if you include the playin Rep). The meltdown after the second verse is scary. Like the other review here, I thought the rafters would start falling down...honestly(I was lucky enough to attend this show). It almost seemed odd that they played any more songs after the Dark Star..the Ashes>Touch almost anti-climactic. This show leaves you feeling unusually confused...
Revise- Atruatwiler(spell?)- Yup, it's the longest modern era counting the playin Rep at about 34 minutes.(Playin reprise occurs at about 16 minutes) You mentioned Denver, which of course was reprised in the following shows. Next longest single show (or longest if playin rep 9/20 is discounted) is Miami from October 89..at a massive 29 minutes, all before drums.

Subject: Great Show
This is the gem of this tour. Jerry sounds really energized, he plays and sings very well(although his voice was pretty shot at this point in the fall '90 run) . The rest of the band sounds great too. For Vince's first tour, this is a must have!
There is a DVD of this floating around online. Backstretch is LONG.

Subject: Mind Blowing
I saw two Dark Stars in my 50 shows - this one, and 9/10/91 with Branford. There was no way I could top those two shows, so I quit going after the '91 MSG run (and a good time to stop - the band disintigrated in the 90's and are virtually unlistenable after '91) I actually left my feet during the first notes of DS, jumping up and down. This entire show is unbelievable, and a must for your collection. Just incredible. Highly reccommended.
Where's jboy with his pretentious review of this show?
Reviewer:

Subject: Covetous
This is a show to covet if you can get past Vince's hideous piano shenanigans. Can somebody tell me why he was in the band again? Worst personnel decision in the history of the GD.
Jerry's voice is a tad weak, but his spirit and guitar soar.

Subject: Longest DarkStar...
Hey trannyman, if your counting the playin', I say the longest modern era DS must be from McNichols, 12/12-12/14/90. That clocks at over 48 hours :) I agree about the end of the second set, a three tune encore would have been sweeter. Good show, I remember it well being there with some dear old friends I haven't talked to in years...

Subject: WOW!
Can't believe I finally found a recording of this show!! Of the 60 or so shows I had the pleasure of seeing in my day, this one DEFINATELY ranks up near the top. That Dark Star reprise is one of those indelible DEAD moments etched into my lysergicized psyche, I can close my eyes and BE on the floor of the Garden as the boys build and build and build, Bruce pounds the piano harder...and I look at one of my friends and scream 'I'm gonna FALL!!!'
Post Brent Dead at their peak.

Subject: Top 5 Post-Brent
Others have already stated what should be well-known to any avid collector. This top shelf, 5 star closing night MSG show is what the Dead are all about, even when they are carrying two new members. The post-Space segment is worth the price of admission in and of itself as the band lays out a well-jammed, (6 min. pre verse) Dark Star that gets way out there, particularly on the back end after a Vince led (yes, you read that right) segue through a Playin Reprise. The Phil lines will rattle the floors in your home as bomb after bomb is dropped, litering the sonic landscape with a foundation that the rest of the band builds around. Hell, even the T Stones>Touch closer is a rip snorter.
I don't mean to give short shrift to the rest of the show, which is generally well played and jammed (it's interesting to see Vince/Bruce interplay on first set tunes, laying back and stepping forward as the song suggests. A high point musically for both of them) but that post Space segment is the true highlight.
Highly recommended (duh)

Subject: The Last Great Grateful Dead Show
This is,in my humble opion,the last truly great Grateful Dead show. I know there were a bunch of hot shows in '91 but this was the one post Brent show where they really reached that state of 'Grateful Deadness' where they could do no wrong.
I've never felt MSG shake like I did that night. I thought they were going to literally tear that old building down with 'Dark Star'.
Something happened on this night that was truly greater than the some of its parts. Something beyond anyones control to create or fuck up.
And I thought it was the beginning of a new era of the Grateful Dead. Unfortunately, I think this show marked the end of an era.
This is one to enjoy and appreciate if you were there or not!

Subject: GD at their Best during last era of career
I remember this show well. It was probably the BEST show I saw during this final stage of the Dead legacy. Hornsby was a great addition. The first set rips. The second set rips. Listen closely after Dark Star, you could swear to god you hear them starting to go into St. Stephen (or maybe that was just me that night...although I'm not the only one to think so). Some highlights: Althea, Ramble on Rose, GSET, China-->Rider, Dark Star.
On and top of that, the sound quality of this show is out of this world. The best I've ever heard from the 90's that wasn't a Dicks Picks.

Subject: It's not fair!
What the heck happened on this night? I know the band was psyched for this run at the Garden with new members Vince and Bruce and they put a lot of effort into their performances, but just look at this set list! For a lot of us West Coast heads this was just too much to take - those damn Yankees got all the goods!
In the opening songs there are some annoying Vince synth moments, but he tones it down soon enough. By Brown Eyed Women the band is in the groove and rolling, and the first set ends with a strong Greatest Story and U.S. Blues(!). The second set is jam-packed with show-stoppers played to the max. The energy stays consistent throughout the set, and the playing lives up to the quality of the set list. The fact that Dark Star springs from a way-out-there Space, sandwiches Playin' Reprise (finishing the song started the previous night), includes a rare appearance of the second verse, and concludes with a monster chaos jam makes this one of the best post-hiatus versions of this song.
This is a great show with a TON of energy and attention to detail. It's got rock, it's got psychedelic, the whole package. A top 5 show from a top 5 year. |
First up was the fight for places 5 and 8 with Bellingham taking on Columbia River. In a battle of contrasting styles it would be interesting to see which team would impose their will on the other. That imposing will thing may be a theme for the biggest game of the day. The Raiders got it at their pace early, jetting to an 8-2 lead but River showed they can play at a faster tempo and led 16-14 late in the quarter. 6-3 junior Sean Price made it 18-14 just prior to the horn.
CR pushed it to 27-19 playing up tempo but the Raiders cut it to 27-25 when Tim Sellereit finished on the break inside one minute to go in the half. And that was the score at the break. Chris Bolton scored 11 in the half. Sellereit had 10 for the Raiders.
6-3 senior Brandon Foote’s steal and score put Bellingham on top 29-27 early in the third quarter. River was back to being very deliberate on the offensive end. Bolton’s trey put River back in front 30-29 but Foote drove inside and Bellingham had it back, 31-30. Noah Contreras gave the lead back to CR 32-31 and all of this in less than 3:00. Sean Price made it 34-31 and hit a freebie for a 35-31 score. River’s next possession was typical of their style, 49 seconds before a shot attempt. The Chieftains were imposing their will. Aaron Guinn made it 37-31. It was 37-33 heading to the fourth.
Foote got a steal on the inbounds to open the quarter and scored inside seconds later to cut it to 2 points at 37-35. Azubo Bearden tied it on a put back but Bolton answered with a trey, 40-37 River a minute into the quarter. Sellereit responded with a three ball from the right wing. Ryan hit a pair from the line and CR was back on top. Whew. Foote tied it inside as the clock went under 6:00. We got us a basketball game baaaby. An errant pass on an inbounds led to an easy Bearden bucket for a 44-42 Raider lead. Price tied it at the 4:00 mark. Contreras scored on a long pass, drew the foul, converted and CR led 47-44 at 3:43. Bearden tied it with a trey. Guinn put River on top 49-47 with 2:25 to go. Foote tied it at the 2:07 mark. Bellingham ran the last minute off the clock and Sellereit fired a bullet pass to Foote cutting along the baseline off a wicked Tony Hillaire pick. Foote made the 2-footer and the Raiders led 51-49 with 3.3 remaining. The Raider defense smothered CR’s final effort, game over.
Foote scored 20 and added 5 dimes with 4 steals. Sellereit dropped in 15 points. Bolton scored 17 in the loss.
Clarkston and Renton were next for fourth and seventh places. The bantams opened with a lob to 6-10 Josh Heytvelt for a thundering dunk and ran out to an 18-12 lead over the Indians at the end of the first period.
The Bantams had built a 10 point lead on another lob to Heytvelt for some thunder at the 4:00 point of the second quarter. Heytvelt made it an even dozen at 32-20 with a nice turn-around jumper form in close after Steffond Brown and Ryan Turnbow traded three pointers. The Bantams led 36-26 at the half.
Heytvelt had a double-double in the half, 16 points, 11 Rodmans. Steffond Brown scored 13 to lead the Indians.
Midway through the third quarter senior guard Jeff Burns cut it to 7 points at 38-31 off a steal and 360 degree spin move before firing in a three ball. Burns had his freak on. Turnbow answered with a short jumper, 40-31, 4:07 showing. Heytvelt hit a 6-foot pull-up for 42-31 and Allen Tucker went baseline for 44-31 at the 3:21 mark. The Bantams once again answered a Renton challenge. After a Brown trey Burns hit a pair from the line and it was a 44-37 game with 2:10 on the clock. Jason Curtis found bottom from the left corner and Clarkston had it back to 10 points at 47-37. Following another Brown trey, Lael Johnson’s bucket at the horn sent it to the final 8:00 with Clarkston holding a 49-44 lead.
Back-to-back buckets by Mike Vogeler pushed it back to 10 points at 57-47 but Brown hit another bomb to cut it to 7 points at 57-50 with 5:07 left. Burns cut it to 5 points on a drive and when Brown tallied a pair from the line it was 57-54 with 4:35 to play. A quick turnover on the inbounds and Renton pulled even on another Brown trey.
The Indians took the lead when Marc Williams hit one from the line at 3:57 to complete an 11-0 run in just over a minute. Brown made it 60-57 off another errant inbounds pass. Quinton Jackson made it a 14-0 run with a free throw. Tucker cut it to 61-58 with a free throw at 2:00. Renton turned it over on their end and the Bantams had possession and a time out with 1:44 to go. Heytvelt was fouled going to the basket, hit missed one, hit the second and with 1:06 it was 61-59.
Jackson was fouled, missed one, and made one, 62-59, fewer than 50 seconds. Turnbow was fouled shooting a trey at 38.6, but hit only one, 62-60. Renton got the board and Burns went back to the line with 33.8 to go. He hit both for 64-60. Turnbow missed a trey, Renton boarded the miss and Jackson knocked down both freebies for a 66-60 lead with 14.5 left. Brown took a long pass and hit at the horn, final score 68-60.
Brown went off for 36 points with 7 treys. Burns added 15. Heytvelt had 21 points with 17 boards.
The third/sixth place game had semifinal losers Meadowdale and West Valley finishing off the day session. The Mavs have done a great job containing “bigs” all week and would have their chance at 6-8 Andrew Strait in this one.
Junior guard Jake Linton opened it with a three ball and when 6-7 senior Colin Matteson hit a pair from the line the Mavs were off to a 7-0 start. WV closed the quarter with a 6-0 run, 7-6 after one.
Meadowdale led 21-18 at the half and had done a job on Strait. He was 0-for-6 from the field and got all of his 5 points from the charity stripe. Matteson had 9 in the half to lead all scorers. The shooters were luke warm, Meadowdale shot just 35% in the half, West Valley 28.6%.
Meadowdale had the lead to 7 points several times in the third quarter and ended the period on top 40-35 on the heels of a pair of short jumpers by Matteson.
The Mavs kept it bouncing between 3 and 5 points throughout the fourth quarter but a Strait freebie pulled the Rams to within a basket at 48-46 with 4:00 to go. Henry Faison made it 50-46 but again Strait was hacked while shooting and sent to the line. He made one of two, 50-47, 3:23 to go. Linton made it 52-47 with a pair from the line at the 3:02 mark. Gavin Johnson’s pair of freebies made it 52-49 with 2:39 to go. Taylor Marsh hit a baseline jumper for 54-49 but EJ Schoen answered with 1:50 showing.
Marsh was sent to the line and missed the front end of the bonus with the Rams getting the board. Strait scored to cut it to 54-53 with 1:11 remaining. Marsh drilled a trey from the left wing for 57-53 and the Rams were taking a T-O with 40.3 to play. Strait drove for a bucket at 32 seconds for 57-55 and the Rams quickly fouled Linton. He missed the front end of the bonus and Corey Wehr was fouled on the rebound. He sank both to knot it at 57-57 with under 30 ticks to play. Game on ya’ll.
Meadowdale took a time out with 21.7 on the clock to set for the final shot. The Mavs were called for a backcourt violation off the inbounds, ball to West Valley with a T-O and 19.4 left. Schoen hit a 10-foot jumper with 3.2 left for a 59-57 Ram lead. Time-out Mavs. Marsh threw long to Matteson but his pass to the wing was intercepted by Strait, game over. WV takes third place.
Strait and Schoen both scored 17 points while Wehr added 12. Matteson had 21, Marsh 15, Linton 11 in the loss. Meadowdale takes sixth place for the second consecutive year.
And then there was one. 25 down, one to go. Rainier Beach seeks to make history with a third consecutive title and fifth over all title. O’Dea has two previous championships. Contrasting styles, public versus private, completely different approaches to the game. Beach, like so many other schools, plays pretty much year round with spring, summer and fall leagues. O’Dea packs the balls away after state and doesn’t play as a team again until pre-season practice starts in November.
O’Dea won the tip and pulled 53 seconds off the clock without a point. Their next possession took just 3 seconds and netted 2 points. Tempo is the name of the game, when the break is there the Irish take it, other than that they are very deliberate. Junior guard Mitch Johnson scored 5 straight points, a deuce and a trey, for a 7-3 O’Dea lead with 3:45 left in the quarter.
CJ Harris and Conor Mullen both scored for an 11-3 Irish lead shortly after the first television time out. It stayed right there until the end of the period. Beach was without a field goal after 8:00, scoring their three from the foul line. O’Dea was imposing their will.
Matt Fields broke the ice over the Beach basket with a quick bucket inside to open the second quarter. Harris got bottom from the right corner to extend the lead to 14-5. Johnson made it 16-5 at the 5:30 point. Michael Duty made it 22-7 with a drive down the lane heading into the 3:00 mark. Harris again drained a three from the right corner and the Irish had it to 23-9 with 2:43 showing. Duty made it 25-9 to end a possession that took over a minute off the clock. Andre Geragthy made it 26-9 with a freebie before Terrance Williams hit a late trey for a 26-12 half time score.
Harris scored 8 in the half while Williams had 7 of Beach’s dozen. Beach shot just 17.6% from the field hitting only 3 of 17 shots. By comparison O’Dea blistered the nets to the tune of 45.8%.
Freshman forward Emeka Iweka cut it to an 8-point lead when he hit a jumper from just inside the foul line with 5:20 left in the third quarter. Ryan Anderson’s trey cut it to 28-23 with 3:51 on the clock. Freshman guard Jamelle McMillan’s pair of freebies extended it to 30-23 but CJ Giles answered inside, drew the foul and converted for a 30-26 score at 2:01.
McMillan hit a trey from the right corner to make it 33-26 at 1:24. Rodney Delgardo cut it to 33-28 before Conor Mullen hit one from the line to get it back to 6 points at 34-28. Giles made it a 4-point game, 34-30 with a buzzer beater to end the period.
8:00 to go to decide a champion. Williams cut it to 2 with jumper from on top off the inbounds. Delgardo put Beach in front with a trey from the left corner seconds later Johnson gave it back to O’Dea with a three of his own. So much for slow tempo. Mullen pushed it back to 4 at 39-35 inside 6:00. Giles’ dunk made it 39-37. Giles followed his score with a pair of blocks on the defensive end. Can you say INTENSITY? Johnson’s thru-traffic lay-in made it 41-37 but Giles got another inside bucket for 41-39. Geraghty’s pair from the line got it back to 43-39. Iweka cut it to 2, 43-41. Delgardo tied it off an Anderson steal and was fouled. His free throw, off Harris’ fifth foul, gave Beach a 44-43 lead with 3:06 to play. It was becoming a classic title game.
Out of a time out Williams pumped up his guys, “we got the trophy, let’s go!” Giles made it 46-43 at 2:12. McMillen tied it at 1:34, 46-46. No fear in that freshman. Giles got it back for RB, 48-46 at 1:11.
Johnson was fouled starting a drive at 31.0, sank both, tie game 48-48. Time out O’Dea. Beach ran it down, Williams’ shot was off but Giles rebounded. He was fouled, O’Dea had one foul to give and Beach had an inbounds under their own basket with 2.3 left. The Inbounds went to Iweka, Giles decoyed, but the freshman’s shot at the horn rimmed off. OT.
Anderson drilled a trey from the left wing to start the overtime. Johnson hit one of two free throws, 51-49. Giles got a put back for 53-49, Beach’s biggest lead. Johnson was fouled shooting a three, hit them all and at 2:37 it was 53-52. Giles got a jam on a put back, 55-52. Mullen drew a foul, plus a technical was called on the Beach bench and with four shots from the line O’Dea could take the lead with 1:46 to go. Mullen hit both of his, Johnson hit both techs and O’Dea led 56-55.
O’Dea went into a spread to run clock with Geraghty drawing a foul with 57.4 left. He missed the first, hit the second, 57-55. McMillan came up with a steal, was fouled, it was the fifth for Giles, and the rail-thin freshman went to the line to shoot a pair with 49.8 left. H missed the first, missed the second and Beach got the rebound. Williams tied it. O’Dea ran it down for a last shot. Mullen was called for a charge at 1.8 after his shot dropped in and was waved off. A long pass went to Williams and his shot at the buzzer was off. It’s 4 more minutes.
Williams gave Beach the lead at 59-57 with a pair from the line a minute into the second OT. Duty tied it at 2:00, 59-59, with a 14-foot jumper. Mullen put O’Dea up off a McMillan dish, 61-59 with 1:30 to go. O’Dea got it back and called a time out with 1:10 to play. Johnson went to the line with 1:05 left and got both to pad it to 63-59. Anderson hit a trey from 30 feet and it was a single point at 63-62. Johnson was fouled on the inbounds and headed back to the stripe with 50.0 left. He again got a pair and O’Dea had a 65-62 lead. Kenny Collier cut it to 65-64 with a scoop off the glass with 38.1 to play.
Mullen was fouled at the 24.1 mark, missed both with beach getting the rebound. Williams missed on the other end with O’Dea grabbing the board. This time Johnson went to the line with 10.7 left. He sank the first, missed the second but Geraghty got a loose ball at the other end. Johnson was fouled with .3 left, hit both and O’Dea had the title 68-64.
Johnson hit for 27, Mullen 13. Giles had 21 points with 16 rebounds, Williams 16 points. |
Ancient Tomb
this wiki
The Ancient Tomb is the eighth and final dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. The entrance to the Ancient Tomb can be opened if Link aids Cap'n, who has gotten lost in the Sea of Storms. Cap'n will give him the Tokay Eyeball in return, which can be used to open the door to a cave on Crescent Island. The cave leads to a small islet with Armos Statues. After Link solves this small puzzle, the Ancient Tomb can be found in a maze of stone. Being the final dungeon of the game, the puzzles in the Ancient Tomb are more difficult than many other ones in the game.
Dungeon
The Ancient Tomb has a total of four floors, making it one of the largest dungeons in the game. The dungeon focuses around four Slates, found in the four corners of B2F. To acquire these slates, Link must complete difficult tasks in the four corners of B2F. These tasks include sprinting across pools of quickly melting magma, going through a room full of Chasers, and swimming through a passage filled with fast currents. Once he acquires the four slates, he gains access to a part of B3F leading to the boss chamber. Before entering the boss chamber, he must remove obstacles using four items in the same order that he will use them in his battle against Ramrock, the boss. First, he must smash a crystal with his sword. Second, he must blow up a cracked block with a bomb. Third, he must use his Seed Shooter to light a torch with an Ember Seed. This causes a bridge to appear, allowing him to cross a gap in the floor. Finally, he must lift a statue out of his way using the Power Glove.

) Sunday, April 27 to Tues, April 29th – River Plantation RV Park, Sevierville, TN
On Sunday, April 27th, we took the day to recover from our AT Trail hike:o))
It was a wonderful hike but, by far, the most strenuous hike we had done since last summer when we were in Acadia National Park. So we needed a day of rest!! That’s exactly what we did…NOTHING!!!
On Monday, April 28th, we drove to Smokemont Campground.
We had one more GSMNP campground to checkout for future stays in the park.
If we like Smokemont CG, that would give us access to hiking in another part of GSMNP.
We drove directly to the park without stopping on our way.
The views were beautiful and we decided to save pull-offs for on the way home.
It was about a 90 minute drive to Smokemont Campground!!
Click on any photo to enlarge or hover your mouse on any photo for a description.
The campground is located along a beautiful creek.
Loop F, the RV only loop, has several beautiful sites along the creek:o))
The F Loop is only open May 15 – Oct 31.
Any one of the sites would be nice, but we did have two FAVORITES!!
Site F8
Site F34
Sites F36 & F 38 are on the creek also and more open for those with solar panels;o))
There are no hookups but there is a bath house with flush toilets and sinks.
There is a nice dump station and fresh water access station!!
We both agreed that this beautiful campground would make boondocking enjoyable:o))
If your rig is longer than 35 ft.,
I would not choose Elkmont, but Smokemont could handle larger rigs.
When we reached Newfound Gap at the end of our hike on the AT Trail,
we didn’t take time to check it out. So we stopped on our way back today.

Beautiful View!!

On Tuesday, April 29th, the RV-Dreams Rally begins.
This is our third RV-Dreams Educational Rally.
Bill and I, along with several others, volunteered to help with Rally Registration.
Click on any photo to enlarge or hover your mouse on any photo for a description.
Great facility for 175 people!!
The Registration Table is set up and the Helpers are ready.
Let The Games Begin!!!
Yep… I think it’s gonna be a fun time :o))
After registration, there was a catered dinner and the rally icebreaker.
No one captures the action better than Howard, so check out his blog post.
We gotta get back to the Smokies some time. Nice to know that the Smokemont Campground would handle our rig.
That look like a tough decision between those two sites, but somebody has got to do it! Shame on us, living so close to the Smokies and never visiting. We have to rectify that situation.
Great coverage of Smokemont. Thanks for the mention of more open sites for solar.....hopefully :-) Your pictures of the mountains are just gorgeous. Love Mt. LeConte. H&L are hiking it tomorrow. We should band together and get reservations to do it. You'd love it.....a tad expensive to stay at the top but worth the experience.
Looks like a great time both in the Smokies and at the Rally!
We really loved the Smokies when we were there for the last rally in Sevierville. We're definitely spending more time there in the future. Looked like it was a great rally!
Wonderful pictures! You certainly make the most out of everyplace you go :)
I'll bet the rally was great fun! Howard's blogs documented it well. |
The.
So now that it’s down to the best of the best and the final four of each conference, it’s time for some first-round thoughts. We’ll tag on our second round picks at the end.
Five OHL Thoughts: Breaking down the first round of the OHL Playoffs
Mighty Mike.
Windsor #Spitfires goalie Mikey DiPietro appears to have hyperextended his right knee. He was headed to hospital to have the knee checked and his status for Game 6 is unknown at this point.
“Hopefully, it’s not too bad," DiPietro said.

Mikey DiPietro @miketendy WILL START in goal for the Windsor #Spitfires in Game 6 today today against the Sarnia # Sting

What can Brown do for you?
It was a bit of a bumpy stretch run for Logan Brown with the Kitchener Rangers. He was demoted to the fourth line (disciplinary) for a period against the Oshawa Generals, before sitting out four games (injury) and returning for the last three. Over those three games, Brown managed two goals. Once the playoffs started though, the Ottawa Senators prospect flipped a switch. After a single assist in Game 1, Brown netted multiple points in the five remaining games of the series. Capping the first round with an OHL-best 11 assists and 13 points, he will be pivotal in round two against Sarnia.
Sens 1st rounder Logan Brown was the games #1 star tonight as Kitchener beat Guelph to win their first round series in 6 games. Tonight he had 2 goals, 1 assist, +3 and was 61.5% in the circle. In the 6 games of this series Brown had 13 points.

Attack sweep Knights away
In one of the most surprising developments of the OHL Playoffs, the London Knights were done after four games. The series was closer than the end result indicated, as the Attack snuck out of round one with four one-goal wins, two in overtime. While London will be disappointed with how the season ended at the hands of Owen Sound, there are a lot of similarities between this series, and last year’s first-round matchup with Windsor. Two fairly evenly matched teams where one knew its season was ending. Olivier Lafreniere went wire-to-wire, posting a 2.69 goals-against average and an 0.884 save-percentage. The numbers aren’t pretty, but they got the job done at a position that has held Owen Sound back this season.
After winning the OHL Championship in 2011, the Owen Sound Attack won just 1 of 6 Playoff Series from 2012-16.
Owen Sound has now won 3 of their last 4 Playoff Series (2 last season, 1 this season) and makes the 2nd Round in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2006.

Steelheads can’t withstand the Colts
The Mississauga Steelheads threw all they could at the Barrie Colts, escaping the first four games with a split. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough, as Leo Lazarev and the returning Andrei Svechnikov thwarted Mississauga’s long-term plans. Lazarev was a wall in Game 5, as he stopped 46 shots en route to the 5-2 win. Game 6 was Svechnikov’s coming out party in the playoffs. He posted five points following a four-game suspension and a quiet Game 5. Now they’re getting set for a very interesting second-round series with Kingston. Both Lazarev and Jeremy Helvig have something to prove, while there’s plenty of firepower on both sides. Should be a fun one to watch.
A lot of focus on top Barrie line of Luchuk, Svechnikov & Sokolov, and for good reason. But the line of Suzuki, Magwood & Chiodo was every bit as good these last few games. They were dominant at times.

Dog Day Afternoon
After two close games to open the series, the Hamilton Bulldogs pulled away from the Ottawa 67’s in a big way. They outscored them 17-4 over the final three games, punching their ticket to round two. Overall, eight players played at a point-per-game pace or better over those five games for Hamilton. Between the Niagara IceDogs and Oshawa Generals, Niagara was in control from the start. They took the first two games by a combined score of 10-3, and the last two 10-4, sandwiching a Game 3 loss. Akil Thomas carried over his torrid pace from the regular season, scoring four goals and adding three assists in five games. Sam Miletic matched his seven-point pace. This series could be very interesting, especially since the IceDogs won the season series fairly convincingly (5-1).
Second Round OHL Playoffs Picks
Eastern Conference
1. Hamilton Bulldogs vs 4. Niagara IceDogs
Bulldogs win in seven
The Key: The Bulldogs have to keep Thomas and Miletic in check. The Bulldogs locked the 67’s down over the last three games, but if it’s wide open like Games 1 and 2? That’s where Niagara’s scorers will thrive.
2. Barrie Colts vs 3. Kingston Frontenacs
Frontenacs win in six
The Key: While Gabe Vilardi comes into this series second in playoff scoring, Jason Robertson‘s success will determine the Fronts’ fortunes. Kingston was 2-1 when the Stars’ prospect had one or fewer points in round one, and 2-0 when he had multiple points. Barrie is no North Bay though. They’ll capitalize if they can keep Robertson under wraps, especially with how their second line has been clicking.
Western Conference
1. Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds vs. 4. Owen Sound Attack
Greyhounds win in five
The Key: Owen Sound will have to figure out a way to make Sault Ste. Marie play from behind. Brett McKenzie was massive in the first round and he needs to keep it going. Heading into Game 4, Saginaw had led for just two minutes in the series against the Soo. They led the entire first period that game but still wound up losing. The Attack can build on that with the offence they have.
2. Kitchener Rangers vs 3. Sarnia Sting
Rangers win in seven
The Key: At times the Rangers looked comfortable playing without veteran defenceman Connor Hall (shoulder). Other times they didn’t. The quickly-maturing Kitchener d-core will need to find its groove fast against a powerful Sarnia team. The Justin Fazio/Mario Culina face-off may be one of the most compelling of round two. |

Angry with Mummy
Posted by Geraldine at 4:06 PM
At this moment, I'm not my daugther's most favorable person. She is angry with me, eyes all wet while she is doing her math homework. Why the tears? Because she is being punished. Her Brownie troop was suppose to meet at 4.00pm at a pumpkin/corn maze farm. Greg and I waited in the car for her school bus to arrive. All she needed to do was to go to the bathroom then jump into the van for a 30 minute ride to the farm. I warmed up the her macaroni cheese for her to eat in the car and had snacks ready for the trip. Rewind back to this morning.... I told her that she has forgotten her Reading book for 3 days and she needs to make sure she brings it home today. She has comprehension test on Friday and I'm trying to teach her to do things in advance and not last minute.. so bring the book home on Thursday doesn't work... I warned her that I would cancel the Brownie trip if she didn't bring the book home..... Back to present time... here Greg and I were all excited that she is home and all ready for a fun evening... until I realize her school bag was way too light and that there isn't a Reading book in sight... So here I am hating myself for being the mean person but I have to keep my word and be the Mom that I don't like ... the strict mean mommy... I was forced to dissapoint both the kids and said.. "Greg, get out of the car, we are not going anymore." So, I dragged all the food and warm clothing out of the car. I made the dreaded call to the Troop leader to tell her we won't be there. Gilly is still upset but I guess she will learn that she has responsiblities, and the most important one is.. studies and homework comes first. Let see...she has a birthday party to attend this Saturday, and I wonder if she will be missing out on that.... oh.. I can't wait till she is a teenager!!!!!

Poor Gilly but some things have to done before they realise the seriousness of mommy's words. Good mommy :)
don't worry,she will get around.She old enough to know her fault.Mishu have the same problem.Whenever I ask her to write her NOTE for her music lesson,she will cry.Told her if she refused to do her homework,then no TV for her.But her daddy keep saying she not ready yet! aiyaya!!pening kepala
Doesn't it suck when we have to actually take something away from them that we know they absolutely love?! But I guess, as a parent - we gotta do what we have to do.
it's hard to discipline our children at times. guess after what you did, they will be more responsible in the future.
Juno: its heartbreaking but we have no choice..
Lee: wow... I love your comments or in this case a "blog in a blog". Yes, I want my kids to be responsible adults. I don't want to be a lame parents who always have excuses for their children's actions like Scott Peterson's mom or Cindy Anthony. I want to be proud of my kids like you do. Kids have it harder these days and I don't want them to make wrong choices.
Lesley: ya, I was forced into piano and hated it... long story short.. I teach piano now and I refuse to teach a student who doesn't want to learn esp when they are too young... and maybe it would be better to back off Mishu for awhile...
MJ: yes, it sure sucks.. and I hope I don't have to take Breakfast with Santa away...
Agnes: thanks for dropping by. Gilly is behaving better ... we shall see how long this will last. |
December’s Flavors- Let’s Break em’ Down
I get a lot of weird ideas for flavors. All the flavors I choose for December come from suggestions from customers, family, and friends! I have a mental list already brewing for the next year! The limits are endless! Anyhow, December. I can tell you’re at the edge of your seat, waiting for me to reveal…. The new flavors….
The old, but slightly different.
Merry Mint- I released a sneak peak of this one last week and the response I’ve gotten has been tremendous! If you liked our Irish mint guess what? The base is the same, but with a holiday twist! Candy canes were crushed by Farmer Joe and sprinkled into the batch by me! It has a super smooth texture with lots of peppermint! And the color of it really gets you in the holiday mood. Who’s pumped?
This next one surprised me. The flavor is great! I nailed the recipe in one try. That’s a win in the recipe creating world. I welcome,
Ginger Cookie- I got the idea from a few people to use ginger snaps. I had actually planned on adding a few combinations to this thinking the snaps wouldn’t be enough. I was wrong! I made my first batch and everyone who has tried it said “don’t you dare!” Our base mix with a large pinch of ginger and crushed ginger snaps folded into the gelato after freezing and BAM. We got your christmas classic in Gelato form. I hope you enjoy.
Lastly, the kinda-sorta left field flavor. Farmer Tim (Farmer Joe’s Dad) was lobbying HARD for this one. I was excited cuz well, to be honest were irish and we like boozy drinks. Judge if you must, but this flavor attempts to capture, the Tom and Jerry.
Tom and Jerry- A mid-west Tom and Jerry consists of milk, eggnog, sugar, brandy or rum, and a pinch of nutmeg. This flavor is suttle and tasty. You get a lot of milk flavor but the brandy flavor bridges to the nutmeg for a delectable treat. I encourage those of age to make a “true” Tom and Jerry of their own at home with our gelato and a little more brandy. Kick that winter blues…..
SO GO GET YA SOME!

Hacksilver
Hacksilver (sometimes referred to as hacksilber) consists of fragments of cut and bent silver items that were used as bullion or as currency by weight in antiquity.
Use[edit]
Hacksilver was common among the Norsemen or Vikings, as a result of both their raiding and trade. Hacksilver may also have been used by Romans in their dealings with Pictish tribes.[1] The name of the ruble, the basic unit of modern Russian currency, is derived from the Russian verb рубить ('rubit'), meaning "to chop", from the practice of the Rus, described by Ahmad ibn Fadlan visiting the Volga Vikings in 922.[citation needed] An example of the related Viking weighing scale with weights was found on the Isle of Gigha.[2] Hacksilver may be derived from silver tableware, Roman or Byzantine, church plate and silver objects such as reliquaries or book-covers, and jewellery from a range of areas. Hoards may typically include a mixture of hacksilver, coins, ingots and complete small pieces of jewellery.
Hoards of hacksilver are also well known in pre and post-coinage antiquity, in European and Near Eastern contexts. The Cisjordan Corpus (c.1200-586 BC) is the largest identified concentration of pre-coinage hacksilver hoards, and provides key evidence for the Phoenician and wider Near Eastern roots of the development and proliferation of the earliest silver coinages in the Greek world and western tradition.
The widespread adoption of Greek silver coinages by c. 480 BC appears to have developed first out of cooperative relations between Greeks and Phoenicians, then partly as a competitive, culturally consolidating response to earlier Phoenician expansion and domination of silver trade, which had been conducted with hacksilver. Within the Cisjordan Corpus, a concentration of hacksilver hoards occurs in a part of southern Phoenicia that was recorded in antiquity as a territory of the Shardana tribes of Sea Peoples associated with Sardinia. Thompson, in her analyses of the hacksilver pieces, relates this textual evidence to lead isotope ratios that have ore signatures matching Sardinian ores. This is the first recognized material evidence linking the two regions in this critical period.[3] The same hacksilver hoards have provided the first recognized provenance-evidence for far-reaching contact between Europe and Asia related to the prehistoric trafficking of metals.[4][5]
Hacksilver hoards[edit]
- The 4th or 5th century hoard of Traprain Law (Traprain Treasure) consists of four silver coins and over 53 pounds of sliced-up Late Roman silver tableware, much of it of very high quality. Whether this was handed over by Romans to the Pictish occupants of the site, or the products of raids on Roman Britain, is unclear.
- The Vale of York hoard includes 617 silver coins and hacksilver.
- The Cuerdale Hoard includes 8,600 items, silver coins and hacksilver.[6]
- The Skaill Hoard, the largest Viking Age silver hoard found in Scotland, consists of over 100 items, including jewelry, a few coins and assorted hacksilver. The hoard, dated to between 950 and 970, was found in Skaill, Sandwick, Orkney, in 1858.[7][8][9]
- The main Penrith Hoard is of Viking-period penannular brooches, but a separate hoard found very close by includes many pieces of hack silver.
- The 'southern Phoenician' hacksilver hoards in the Cisjordan Corpus were found at Ein Hofez, Tell Keisan, Dor and Akko.[10]

Punjab’s Chief Secretary Karan Avtar Singh has called upon all the IAS and PCS officers in the state to enroll for online courses available on the website of World Bank (WB) related to project management and procurement.
The state government’s Department of Personnel on Friday sent an official communication (a copy with The Indian Express), which refers to directions issued in a meeting held under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary on June 15, 2017, in this regard.
The letter, citing Chief Secretary’s directives, says, “There are several online courses which the officers can do and they should be encouraged to do so. If they accomplish these courses successfully, a copy of the certificate of course completion shall be appended in the personal file of the officer. Online courses related to project management and procurement are available on the website of the World Bank.”
The letter further says that in pursuance of CS directions, such online courses must be done by officials.
A senior IAS said many mega government projects are plagued by delays and cost overruns, thereby burdening the exchequer. “Such courses will help officers develop a professional outlook towards the project management and procurement functions.”

..today it’s oil….then it was bananas….
We live in a world in which our perception of events is informed almost exclusively by television.
85% of people in the US claim television as their number one source of information. While the average American watches 4.2 hours of television a day, The University of Ohio reports that 80 percent of American families did not purchase or read even one book last year.
This gives television and the information it conveys enormous power.
Who controls that information, and how it is made should be of enormous concern to us.
Who in their right mind would place the informative and discursive machinery of an entire society in the hands of a few basically self-selected people, no matter how good or ‘noble’ their intentions?
This is not the foundation of a democracy, which is predicated on a free press.
What happens when a free press goes awry? When there are no longer multiple and free sources of information?
In 1951, Jacobo Arbenz Guzman was the popularly elected President of Guatemala. He immediately set upon a path of radical economic reform. ‘science’] threat.”

Does any of this sound familiar?
It should.
The US government and military backed a coup by Castillo Armas, a tool of the United Fruit Company. Arbenz was forced into exile and the hopes of a democratic Gutemala were crushed for generations, replaced by an increasingly unstable and violent run of US backed dictators.
Where was the ‘free press’ in our intervention in Guatemala?
There was none. The country was propagandized and the media, including the NY Times, fell in lock step with the propaganda.
Fifty years later, the same thing happened in Iraq.
A free and open press is critically important to a free and open society. A well informed electorate is essential to a functional democracy. The corporate ‘media’ are incapable of doing the job alone. They miss too much. They don’t care. They have too much at stake to take risks and go against the government or deal with potentially unpopular points of view or issues.
The web, and indeed libraries are filled with a wide range of information and opinion, a wealth of it. (Note the quote from above). It is all there to be had. Yet in a nation in which almost no one reads; and in a nation where the majority rules, the sway of public opinion, and hence access to public discourse is critical.
And for better or worse, that discourse is going to take place on television and in video..
If you would like to learn more about this, I highly recommend reading “The Fifties” by David Halberstam. And if you want to watch it, Alex Gibney did an outstanding PBS series based on the same book.

Description
Poisoned by the shadow creature Ilsith, Fen can no longer summon the power of Stone. When the Ankharan sorcerers falsely accuse him of treason, he is imprisoned, and now faces execution as a traitor. His only hope is if he can get through to the Fist and help him see what is really happening in his kingdom. But the Fist is corrupted by chaos power and he only listens to the sorcerers. Will Fen recover his power and get through to the man who is like a father to him, or will he die on the executioner’s block?
Karliss and his clan face increased attacks by the Guardian Kasai. Karliss’ power over the wind and the aranti, elemental creatures that live within the wind, is growing, but now he faces a threat from within his own clan. Henta, a clan elder, is convinced that the attacks are because he has angered the gods and she wants him exiled. Karliss hatches a bold, and perhaps reckless, plan to destroy Kasai for good.
Aislin’s power has grown beyond all expectations. Now she must learn how to control it or risk endangering everyone she loves. Consumed by this, she is unprepared when the surprise attack comes.
And all the while Lowellin and the Ankharan sorcerers continue their efforts to open the Abyss and free the Devourers… |
You'll be happy to know that I'm no longer harrassing the kids (when I say kids most of those on the kiddie slopes are older than me and most of the kids are on the trail runs). Went on the slopes all day today and have multiple bruises and a sore head to prove it. Then tried to take an action photo of Cookie going over a jump. I'll let you decide how i've done by the photo we post.
Then we nicked off early and went for a ride on the TSS Earnslaw.
Mental note: Don't stand under the horn.
Then we met up with Gus and Claire (friends of Cookie) and went to a place called Winnies. Good food and I got to watch some union while we waited for a table. Then we went some fancy schmancy chocolate dessert place but I was too cheap to by anything. $2 for a mint biscuit! I could buy a whole packet for that much!
We tried to make it to a seminar on at the hotel but we were a bit late.
Lesssons Learnt
- Steam boat horns are really loud
- Don't stand near steam boat horns
- If you want to get out of taking photos, take bad ones or at least better ones of people other than the person you're supposed to photograph
Cookie says...
Well, for me I spent the day on one run with a jump so I can get comfortable with time in the air. Seemed everyone wanted to do the same as you had to queue for a bit at times. Another bluebird day which made it a winner.
Thought I'd try and get one photo of this jump. It isn't a particularily big jump but it was fun. So... enter Mikey. Deadset... 100+ photos of everyone else which looked great but do you think he could get a decent one of me? So I hiked up the hill a good 20 times for this...
Mikey's attempt at photography
We left the Remarks and headed for a boat trip. Thought I'd capture it as time-lapse so you can all view the quick version when we return. Bumped into Adrian again (Melbourne dude from my last post) and organised to take him up the hill the next day as his crew had grown fluffy slippers and decided they wouldn't hit the snow the next day.
Captain Cook sails the high seas again!
For dinner we headed to Winnies with Gus and Claire for beer and pizza. The novelty of this place is that the roof literally opens and is therefore one of the must see sights in QT. Their pizzas are also a must. Mikey liked the pizza so much that he tried licking the plate clean... front and back! The resulting splinters were easily removed due to the amount of alcohol consumed.
Splinters stuck the wooden plate to his tongue!

10 Great Tunes For Zumba
Everyone who is into Zumba knows that it becomes exponentially more fun with the right music. Now we all have our own specific tastes and preferences, but these tunes have that specific something that make them universally enjoyed by the Zumba crowd. Some of these tunes we written specifically for Zumba, such as songs created by the founder of Zumba, Beto Perez, while others were written without the influence of Zumba but had routines designed around them.
“Adrenalina” by Wisin ft. Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin
Spanish for adrenaline, Adrenalina lives up to its name and gets you pumped and energized for some Zumba. The beat is fun to dance to and gets your heart racing while you shake it and burn through your workout.
“Alocate” by Alexis y Fido
This is a really sexy song that makes you feel oh so good to dance to. Spanish for “get crazy,” Alocate will bring out your inner diva and have you throwing your hips into every move you lay down. Check out the routine in this music video and see how it works for you.
“Crazy Love” by Beto Perez ft. Mara
The best part about this video, is that it features Beto Perez, the founder of Zumba. If you don’t know who he is, he is the shirtless guy. The song is specifically geared for a Zumba routine, and the beat is easy to follow. Plus the lyrics are flirtatious and playful.
This song is all about getting low, popping, and locking. The beat is great if you’re looking to add some emphasis to your moves and really get after you dance routine. Plus, it is awesome how the beat goes from slow to fast, adding some variety and getting a really good burn in your legs.
“Follow the Leader” by Wisin and Yandel ft. Jennifer Lopez
The lyrics are a little hard to follow, but it is undeniably fun to dance to in your Zumba class. The “ole ole ole” is really fun to jump around to and get loose. Plus, the song drops nicely and makes it really easy to get lost in your dancing.
This song is super energetic and gets you pumped and ready to go. The wooden chimes that start the song off are a great build up before the beat drops. The Spanish lyrics are talking about dancing in the sun, which is really fun and enjoyable to hear when you’re flying around.
“Love and Party” by Joey Montana ft. Juan Magan
A fan favorite amongst the Zumba community, Love and Party is the quintessential Zumba class song. This song is sure to make you smile and changes your mood no matter how you’re feeling.
“More than Friends” by Inna feat. Daddy Yankee
More than friends is a song infused with passion that invigorates everyone who is dancing to it. It is a good Zumba song because it is very versatile and can be used with a wide variety of choreographies.
“Moviendo Caderas” by Yandel ft. Daddy Yankee
Moviendo Caderas by Yandel featuring Daddy Yankee is another versatile song that can be incorporated into a bunch of different choreographies. If you feel yourself starting to lag or need to kick start your day, this is a great song to do that with.
“Que Viva la Vida” by Wisin
The Spanish lyrics are telling you to go live your life and keep the party going. The beat is fun to follow and keeps you motivated with great rhythm and soul. This song keeps you invigorated and leaves you feeling amped up for the rest of your day.
“Zumba” by Don Omar, Performed by Beto Perez
The name says it all: this song is Zumba. Beto Perez is dancing and performing throughout this video, and gives you some good moves to apply to your dance routine.
10 Benefits to Strength Training
We all have a central motivation for strength training: to get in shape, look our best, or loose that extra bit of unwanted fat. These values have been the driving force of peoples’ fitness goals for years and years. But what else is strength training good for? For instance, resistance training has been heralded for its collection of workouts that are easy on the joints. Same goes for pool training as water weights are becoming a popular source of fitness.
Here are 10 benefits to strength training for you to focus on and help motivate you through your workout:
- Strong Muscles Equal Strong Bones
Routine weight lifting and strength training can help prevent osteoporosis. And the stronger your bones are, the stronger your musculoskeletal system, which means you can lift and move around more freely and further enjoy the activities you love.
- Muscle Conditioning Improves Posture
If you’re a sloucher and have been trying to improve your posture, ever consider weights? Conditioning your muscles helps them lift and support your body in its natural positioning. This will help you feel more confident, look more professional, and appear taller.
- Less Injuries With Stronger Muscles
When you train and exercise your muscles, it strengthens the connective tissue around them. In essence, you aren’t just training a specific muscle with any given workout, but bolstering an entire muscular system, improving ligament, tendon, and slow-twitch muscles strength and stability. All of these benefits equate to fewer and less severe injuries, because your muscles are the foundation to your moving body.
- Exercise Boosts Your Metabolism
Even at rest, your muscles burn a ton of calories in order to keep functioning. And if you’re trying to loose some of that extra weight, exercise kicks your metabolism into overdrive, and has you burning calories at an increased rate.
- Improves Your Sports Performance
This one is a no brainer if you’re an athlete. If you want to be a top performer in your sport of choice, you need to be bigger, faster, and stronger than your competition. Plus, certain sports put your joints and ligaments under a lot of stress. If your sport requires a body that can take a beating, than strength training and conditioning is a must have.
- Strong Muscles Rehabilitate Quickly
After you’ve suffered some sort of injury, there is always some sort of recuperation period that is followed by rehabilitation. And rehabilitation in its simplest understanding, is building muscle strength and range of motion back where the injury occurred. The stronger your muscles are, the quicker you will bounce back from an injury.
- Better Balance
If you’re lift weights and at the gym on a regular basis, you aren’t simply getting stronger, but improving your muscle control and balance as well. Whether you’re a dancer, soccer player, or gymnast, you need to maintain your balance and feel stabilized to perform confidently and at your highest level.
- Obesity Prevention
This is probably the greatest benefit to #4. When you build muscles you burn calories, and those calories come from fat. Cardiovascular conditioning is highly recommended to go along with your weight training. Regardless of how you choose to lose weight, shedding pounds and keeping your body fat percentage down adds years to your life.
- Higher Quality Of Life
When you feel strong, you feel better about yourself. Being able to enjoy the activities you want to do is important. If you’re hindered by your lack of fitness, it affects more than just your day-to-day routine. Exercise also releases the chemicals and hormones in your mind and body that improve your overall mood as well.
- Exercise And Anti Aging
Many people blame their lack of fitness on their age, when in fact, it is there lack of fitness that is making them age so quickly. Good exercise and nutrition are the two fundamental truths to feeling younger. You need to use your body and stay active in order to age gracefully. Solid aerobic conditioning mixed with strength training is a sure-fire way to looking and feeling your best.
7 Essentials for Yoga
Yoga, in its truest sense, is a practice that combines the mind and body. It can be your routine workout, or a meditative exercise. It requires very little to perform, and in some cases, simply requires you to sit in silence and concentrate on your breathing. But for some, taking a yoga class with a group is an enjoyable way to get some exercise. Many gyms offer classes in their dance studios and provide mats and other tools to enhance your yoga experience.
If you’re looking to really get into yoga, here are 7 essential tools you should look into that might heighten your experience:
Yoga Mats
There is a wide variety of yoga mats to choose from, some good and some bad. It really depends what you’re looking for out of a mat. For instance, Manduka mats come with a lifetime warranty. They are meant for those who practice yoga on a regular basis and want a mat that is going to last. There are lower grade mats that are sticky and tend to crumble into yoga mat confetti after a while. It is important to choose a mat that best fits your needs, especially for those just getting into yoga and require that extra bit of comfort.
Yoga Mat Towels
If you are a sweaty individual or practicing hot yoga, investing in a yoga mat towel is a considerate way of keeping up appearances at the gym or yoga studio. Lots of people bring beach towels or smaller hand towels from home, but a nice microfiber towel such as the Gaiam yoga mat towel is designed specifically to wick up moisture. Gaiam towels can double as a mat, and fit perfectly over that not-so-appealing communal yoga mat.
Yoga Bolsters
These yoga pillows offer exceptional support that are great for beginners looking to settle in to various poses. Yoga bolsters help you stay in a pose longer, and keep your concentration better focused on your breath and posture.
Yoga Straps
Another great tool for beginners who aren’t very flexible. Yoga straps are great for stretching poses where you aren’t quite able to reach your feet or other body parts. Straps provide that extra bit of length necessary to reach limbs and help you reach your flexibility goals. Instructors use yoga straps to assist students looking to go deeper into poses. Straps and scarfs are typically the alternative, but yoga straps are specifically designed with added features that are more suitable and accommodating.
Yoga Blocks
Yoga blocks are another useful support tool to help prop beginners as well as yoga vets looking to better understand appropriate yoga positions. The blocks can also be used as hand and feet rests for those unable to reach the floor during a certain pose. But for the most part, yoga blocks are meant to support limbs and your back through labor-some poses to improve flexibility and alignment.
Yoga Mat Bag
Not exactly an essential yoga exercise tool, but we have all dealt with yoga mats unrolling and becoming exposed to damage. Yoga mat bags are great for those who practice their yoga at home and want to keep their mat tucked away when it isn’t in use. It doesn’t take much for a mat to come unraveled, and some yoga mat bags come with storage pouches for your keys and other personal belongings while class is in session.
Yoga Shoes
Shoes are nice especially if you’re attending yoga classes and using communal mats, or if you have smelly and/or sweaty feet. But low-profile sneakers or split-soled ballet shoes offer that extra bit of support and/or grip you need to nail the toughest of poses. Things can become especially slippery when you’re performing hot yoga, and a nice pair of dance shoes or yoga-inspired cross trainers might be the difference you’ve been looking for all along with your yoga routine.
5 Benefits to Pilates
Many people who do Pilates agree that it is more than just a workout. Yes, after a few months you’ll notice your figure being more defined, but Pilates also helps clear people’s minds, teach self-discipline and improve focus. It is also amazing for sports training because it compliments weight lifting and builds core and stabilizer muscle strength. Pilates is also great exercise for rehabilitation after surgery, and does wonders for chronic joint pain.
Here are 5 essential benefits you’ll begin to notice once you partake in some Pilates:
- Increased Balance
Pilates works a lot of your slow twitch and stabilizer muscles that weight training doesn’t really work out very well. These muscles not only improve your overall weight training performance, but they improve your balance as well. Powerful muscles are what every athlete works hard for, but what good are those if you’re a lumbering oaf? Improving your balance is a positive for any athletic pursuit.
- Body Awareness
Body awareness goes hand in hand with balance. Improving your balance and strengthening the slow twitch and stabilizer muscles that support your larger muscle groups effectively improves your posture as well. It keeps you from postural deviations that lead to injuries caused by over- and under-developed muscles that pull on each other. Enhanced body control and awareness allows you to focus on different aspects of your sport of choice, making you look more natural and feel at ease about your athletic abilities.
- Prevents Injury
As the saying goes, so is it true with your overall fitness: you’re only as strong as your weakest link. Pilates is an overall body workout that has you working muscles in unison. It doesn’t isolate individual muscles groups, but rather strengthens your entire physique while engaging the most important part of your body: your core.
- Core Strength
There aren’t very many exercises out there that work your core as hard as Pilates. Any athlete who has his fitness dialed in will tell you, it all starts with your core. No matter what your sport is or what muscle groups are used most often, your core is where all of your power is derived from. Plus, a strong core helps prevent injuries, especially lower-back ailments.
- Muscle Definition
So you want to get in better shape, but don’t want bulky muscles commonly associated with weight lifting? If this sounds like you, than Pilates is exactly the workout you’ve been looking for. Pilates doesn’t focus on singular muscle groups, or what I like to call mirror muscles, but rather works the entire body. It builds strong yet compact muscles that are just as toned as any body builders minus that awkward bulkiness. And though Pilates is popular amongst women, it is a great exercise for men who are looking for improved muscle definition.
6 Advantages to Zumba® Over Other Exercises
The list of exercises continues to grow as people find new and improved ways to stay fit. Some enjoy lifting weights, others like to run; then of course you have your swimmers and cyclists; and let’s not forget about the age old practices of yoga. But the newest workout craze goes by the name of Zumba®, an aerobic fitness program inspired by Latin music and dance.
Here are some fitness advantages to Zumba worthy of your consideration:
1. Full Body Workout
There is a bevy of Zumba routines that seems to be growing as we speak. Participants are constantly making new routines once their bodies become accustomed to their old one. Zumba draws from many different types of dance that lend themselves to different areas of the body. Because of this your workouts stay fresh and calories are always being burned as best as possible by shocking different areas of the body.
2. Customized Calorie Burning
Even Zumba routines with a strong emphasis on strength training have their foundations set in calorie and fat burning. But not everyone’s metabolism is the same, and some burn calories at different rates than others. The beauty of Zumba is that dance moves can be modified to fit your fitness, coordination, and skill.
3. Confidence Boosting
Many participants find their inhibitions are lowered substantially once they’ve started Zumba. The dance routines improve your flexibility, posture, and overall confidence as you continue to grow and see improvements.
4. Coordination Boosting
Some people a born with two left feet and find it difficult to walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. The dance routines practices with Zumba are great opportunities to improve your foot work and coordination. You’ll notice that as you continue with your Zumba exercises your awareness, rhythm and coordination are slowly but surely becoming second nature.
5. The Most Fun You’ll Ever Have Exercising
Those who have switched over from their regular workout regimen to Zumba all say the same thing: that was so much more fun. If you like to dance, than this is the least troublesome exercise you’ll ever get. You’ll no longer have to motivate yourself to go to the gym. It isn’t painstaking like lifting weights, and most people who finish a Zumba routine leave feeling more energized than when they arrived.
6. Make your Own Workout
When you’re lifting weights, there is only a handful of exercises you can really do, and a lot of the time, people find themselves struggling to think of something new. With Cycling, you’re stuck on a stationary staring at a wall. Zumba isn’t as strict of a workout plan. It is meant for creativity and allows you to improvise on the go, focus your mind, burn some calories, and let it all hang out.
Athleisure Is In
No it is not technically a word…yet. But as yoga pants and fashionable sweats are being sported in places other than just the gym, it was only a matter
of time before a new style of classification was born. Like it or not, athleisure is in, and it looks like it is here to stay.
Designers and retailers noticed a trend on the upward rise and are looking to capitalize on it in every way, shape and form. Ladies have taken leggings and their traditional use to whole new heights and dawned a new fashion trend that fits a substantial and broadening array of athletic and leisure applications. But this is more than just a trend. Yoga pants and leggings are everywhere today. Under skirts, shorts, pants, and sometimes just by themselves. You can’t turn a street corner without seeing somebody in a pair of skin tight yoga pants.
With more and more ladies dawning their athleisure apparel, there is a demand for stylish and fashionable designs as the number of appropriate applications continues to expand. At one point in time there was a clear line drawn between athletic wear and leisure wear, between gym clothes and an office suit. But as the hustle-and-bustle lifestyle continued to gobble up everyone’s day, it was only a matter of time before the demand for functional hybrid clothing was needed. Now people have the freedom to go from the gym to the office without having to deal with the hassle of changing.
The taglines are more inspirational than ever: “Clothing for a comfortably confident life,” says Lou and Grey. But make no mistake, athleisure is here to stay. You can quote a number of different possible reasons, but it is probably safe to say that there has been a cultural shift towards a healthier lifestyle. And because of this, people are requiring flexible wardrobes that fit their more active, on-the-go routines. This fashion craze isn’t just affecting pants and tops. Low-profile cross trainers and fitness sneakers that are both athletic and fashionable are wildly popular today as well.
Shoes that you can jazzercise in and then wear to the boardroom are becoming increasingly popular. Lots of designs are inspired by light-weight dance shoes with thin yet supportive in- and outsoles. As athleisure apparel continues to gain traction in the fashion and clothing industry, it’s not a question of how long will it last, but rather what is next. And that it would seem, remains to be seen.
The Top Reasons Women Should Strength Train
Happy New Year from Rio Soul! This is a wonderful time of year for fitness. With the holidays behind us and resolutions and goals for the year being a topic on everyone’s mind, you may have some fitness goals yourself. Perhaps you have considered getting in better shape through cardio or yoga, but have you entertained the idea of lifting weights? As a woman, strength training brings major benefits to your physique. It will help you meet your fitness goals even more efficiently than just cardio alone. Below are some essential reasons all women should strength train.
Better Fat Burning
Strength training through resistance either through weights or your own body weight is not just for body builders, and no, you will not end up looking like a body builder if your strength train. Many women have a fear of bulking up if they start a strength building routine. Building strength does not necessarily add bulk if you are a woman. It will ramp up your metabolism and enable you to torch calories even when you are sedentary. Your body will expend more calories with the more muscle mass it has. Your metabolism will improve as you lift weights because muscle burns more calories than fat at a resting rate.
Take Care Of Your Bones
As people (especially females) age, their bone density and muscle mass starts to plummet. Strength training increases your bone density exponentially by building stronger bones, which helps you avoid osteoporosis in your later years. Making sure you have good bone density in older age is extremely important because as your physical abilities diminish you are going to need that bone strength. If, as an older person, you fall, your chance of breaking a bone, which can be severely debilitating in old age, will be less. If you start a weight training routine, you have the ability to increase your bone density by a percentage each year. If you increase your bone density by 1% every year, after ten years, that really is a difference in your bone density that could help you prevent health issues later on. Weight training also helps strengthen the ligaments and tendons surrounding your bones which can help prevent injury.
Internal Support
As most of us know, exercise in any shape or form is a great way to fight stress. As you improve your body image you often start to feel better about yourself, and as you get stronger you feel more capable.
A study reports that exercise, regardless of if it is cardio or weight-bearing, is beneficial in reducing depression symptoms. Lifting weights helps keep your heart in top condition by decreasing blood pressure after strength training, and if you do it on a regular basis this will remain in effect. It also helps you maintain your blood sugar and diabetes by supporting white muscle growth. This type of muscle is the one that uses up sugars for energy in your body so this is a great way to obtain better blood sugar control. It will also help improve your balance and posture. If you use weights to strengthen your core you will support your spine and prevent back pain.
The benefits of weight training are essential for all people, but women sometimes need to be reminded of how important it is for their bones and internal well being. It would take a lot of work, a special diet and many supplements to bulk up as a woman, so do not be afraid to lift weights. It is more likely you will develop a curvy strong body while you improve your inner health. If you lift weight and eat a healthy diet you will achieve a fit, lean physique as well as more mental strength with your gained abilities and self confidence. If you are trying to take better care of yourself in 2015, do not forget weight lifting as a very important part of improving yourself.
What To Look For When Choosing A Gym
With New Years resolutions around the corner and the frightful winter weather among us, you may be on the lookout for a good fitness center. Perhaps you have gotten into a fitness routine rut and need a new place to mix things up and motivate you, or maybe you want to meet some new people. Whatever your reason, joining a gym has a lot of benefits. Below are some main qualities you should look for when finding your new gym.
Affordability
This depends on your budget, but everyone deserves to get the best deal possible on a gym while reaping the benefits it offers. Many gyms offer major discounts around the new year when lots of people have the initiative to sign up, and some offer crazy deals in the summer when everyone has taken their workouts outdoors. Be aware that the salespeople at the gym signing you up will probably try to sell you lots of extras. This is fine, but only purchase them if you are actually going to use them. You may want to be cautious about entering an extremely long-term agreement if you might be one of those people, or if you decide you do not like the gym and need to get out of your agreement. This is a great reason to request a free trial period. That way you can try the establishment for a week and if it is not meeting your needs, you can look elsewhere, no damage to your bank account done.
Demographics and Schedule
One important thing to consider when choosing a gym is who you will be sharing that space with. Will every class be jam packed? Or, jam packed with senior citizens who work out at a much slower pace than you? A really key part of choosing your gym is knowing that your workout needs will be met. If you sign up for a gym that has classes, your expectations might be different than what you get. You may be expecting a high-energy bootcamp class full of motivated fitness soldiers and arrive to find three senior citizens. While you can still work out just as hard, this could affect your overall experience. Or, you may want to swim laps after work every day after five pm, but there could be a swim team practice at that time. Hack through the potential inconvenience by talking about peak hours and questions with the gym manager or front desk and asking the questions that you need to before you buy so you can make sure this gym works with your busy schedule.
Classes and Equipment
A common reason people join gyms is to get into classes. Classes are a way to have someone tell you how to work out and motivate you. The group of people you take the class with encourage you to keep going, and above all classes are a fun way to work out. There are dance classes, Zumba classes, boot camps, classes strictly for abdominal exercises, the list goes on. Take a look at the classes, their schedule, and if they cost extra money as factors on whether you should join a particular gym. Equipment is another important thing to research at your potential gym. Depending on the kind of weight-training you do, make sure the gym has the right dumbbells, weights machines, and cardio machines. Take a look and see if they are in proper condition.
In conclusion, a gym can be a great way to get out of a fitness plateau and be a little more social. If you find the right gym it can rock your fitness world. Great gyms are clean and offer things like classes, personal training options, safe places to store your belongings, locker rooms with great amenities, childcare, enough equipment to go around, and programs to help you increase your fitness, and care about your safety.
Top Ways to Sneak Fitness Into Your Everyday Life
A common complaint of many hard working people is that they don’t have enough free time to devote to a fitness regimen. With careers, school and family it can seem like there is not enough time in the day for this extremely important part of life. However, it is so important to add activity into your life for you can sneak fitness into your life in many ways. Read on for some tactics.
Walk Or Bike To Work
This is a super easy way to get in the recommended amount of daily exercise (depending on the distance you live from your job) and is an especially great idea if you have a career that requires you to be seated all day. Taking in the fresh air and stretching your legs before diving into the daily grind is a great way to improve your work-life balance while you fight a sedentary lifestyle. This also gives you time to think, be outdoors, and escape from the constant input of daily life. If you make it a habit you can observe seasonal changes and enjoy the great outdoors despite being trapped in an office all day. Sitting is the new smoking, and if you have a job where you are sitting 9-5, you especially need to be doing some kind of activity during or outside of work. The only requirement for this is some comfortable walking shoes and clothing that is not difficult to walk in. If your job has a strict dress-code, you can always pack your work clothes and change into them once you are at work. You can also get off at an earlier bus stop or park farther away from work to get in more walking time.
Wake Up An Hour Earlier
Rising an hour earlier buys you the time you need to get an actual workout into your day. Many gyms have boot-camp and other fitness classes at dawn, or you can work out at home or do some outdoor exercise. If you feel like you will be too tired make the effort to get to bed earlier, and have your fitness clothing and shoes laid out the night before to motivate you when you wake up. It may seem difficult, but waking up an hour early is worth it to add years to your lifespan by including fitness in your life. This eliminates the stress of trying to find a time to work out, by the time the rest of the world is waking up, you will have checked that off your list which makes you feel good about yourself and eliminates the stress of taking care of that obligation after a long day’s work.
Try Working Fitness Into Your Lunch Break
Most employers give you a lunch break for a reason, it is a time to reset your energy and take some much-needed self time so that you don’t burn out by the end of the day. You could use this as a time to sit even more, or you could do the smart thing and use this time to get away from the screen, do some exercises or get in some walking. You could walk to a cafe for lunch or, if you stay in the office, could use the time to do some calisthenics. Even just doing some squats and lunges will help your muscles from atrophying. You might be able to sit on a stability ball while you work to strengthen your core, and you can keep small pieces of exercise equipment like dumbbells at your work area. If you take care of these fitness basics at work you will feel more relaxed about the kind of exercise you do outside of work like canoeing or dance class.
Make Time With Loved Ones Active
This is a major life-hack that adds fitness into your life. If you take all the sitting time you do with loved ones and dates going to dinners, seeing movies and having down time, and turned those into walking, hiking, or other workout dates, it will probably vastly increase your fitness over the course of time. You could take your loved one to a fitness class. Take your grandma to Zumba, your sister to Yoga, and go for a walk in the park with your significant other instead of just watching the tube or eating food. Invite your girlfriends to a game of beach volleyball instead of hitting the club for drinks. You will be strengthening your relationships by doing activities that make you and your people feel better about themselves while your strengthen your bodies!
These are just a few ways to hack into a sedentary lifestyle. Even if you are not sedentary there is always room for more fitness in life. Tiny changes like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or doing crunches while watching TV, all of these small tweaks can add up to great fitness results.
Top Tips To Stay Fit Indoors This Winter
Exercise is an especially important thing to do for yourself during times of stress, and for many of us the holidays can be a hectic time of year with all the shopping, events and travel. The cold and dark winter weather makes it more challenging to exercise outside and your fitness goals can tend to drift away during the winter months. To make sure this does not happen, be proactive and use this time to check out some indoor classes and even dance it up!
Barre Classes
Barre Classes are a remixed version of ballet warm-ups, exercises and stretches. The class is said to help give you the long lean body of a dancer because it lengthens and strengthens muscles without shock to joints. The instructor(s) plays upbeat music and the exercised target your whole body using free weights and exercises using your own body weight. Of course, large portions of the classes are done at the ballet bar, followed by lots of stretching. You do not have to have dance experience to try this. All you need is your self, a good attitude, practical workout clothes (probably not too baggy so you can make sure your form is just right) and a pair of socks to prevent slipping in order to have a great workout and have some fun.
Hip-Hop Dance Class
This is a great way to not only burn some calories, but you can also pick up some new dance moves and make friends. Hip-hop is a type of dance that evolved from hip-hop culture and often includes stretching, across the floor exercises, and learning a group dance that might even end in a performance eventually. There are all different levels of classes whether you are a dancer or novice. The music is of course of the hip-hop genre and it can be really fun to dance at different levels of intensity and let yourself have fun in these classes. There is frequently a portion of the class devoted to abdominal exercises as well. This class helps you build stamina while you pop and lock it. Hip-hop classes require loose fitting, comfortable athletic apparel that is easy to dance in with some lightweight athletic and/or dance shoes, and many people in these classes like to add a little edge to their style with hats and other accessories.
Zumba
If you have not tried this exercise-dance craze that has swept the nation, you need to get out there and do it. This is a great exercise class for all ages because it is low-impact and you can go at your own pace. It is a program that combines international music with dance moves at changing paces. This tones your muscles without you even realizing it cause you will be having too much fun grooving to the Latin beat. All you need is a pair of lightweight athletic shows and flexible clothing to give you the room you need to dance it up. The upbeat atmosphere Zumba creates will knock out any winter gloom you may be carrying around.
The varieties of indoor classes now are endless and mixing up your exercise routine is a recommended way to make sure you are using all of your muscles in different ways, increasing your fitness level even more. You won’t get in great shape by hibernating through the winter and exercise is important to feel happy, so get out there and give something new a try. |

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise! … Gomer Pyle, USMC.
“One of (a Canadian financial institution’s) major arguments in support of its lack of loss reserves is its conservative lending profile – i.e. (high) average credit score. This article points to the increasing trend of “surprise” bankruptcies whereby consumers with high credit scores go bankrupt out of the blue.
It’s happening more and more in Canada. One of the reasons why people are able to have such high credit scores is that interest rates are so low, leaving coverage ratios high.” Jason Bell, one of our young analysts at Canso Investment Counsel quoting Suddenly bankrupt: People with great credit scores are hurtling into crisis, Financial Post, John Greenwood and Melissa Leong, 13/05/25.
Jason made a great point during one of our frequent email discussions which we thought was important to share with you: “When people make the claim that Canadians have great credit scores, what they really should be saying is Canadians have really low interest rates which are allowing them to borrow more than ever before.”
The Canadian Field of Debt Dreams
Jason is right on the mark. At Canso, we continually make the point that if the coupon and borrowing cost is zero, why wouldn’t you borrow as much as possible? This was the Canadian government’s “Field of Debt Dreams” approach to improving the Canadian economy after the credit crisis. Picture Canada’s Jim Flaherty, the “Debt Whisperer”, in the corn stalks on a farm in his Whitby riding hearing voices: “If you guarantee it, they will lend it”…
The mighty Canadian banks answered the call of the “Debt Whisperer”. Why wouldn’t they have? They were offered a no lose proposition with the benignly named Insured Mortgage Purchase Program (IMPP). As we have detailed many times before, it was all profit and no risk for Canada’s mortgage lenders. They rose to the challenge and went on a mortgage securitization bender without compare. Brave (but stupid?) Canadian consumers also patriotically rallied around Ottawa’s “Call to Debt Arms”. Aided and abetted by the extremely easy monetary policies of the Bank of Canada, Canadians have now borrowed themselves into world beating debt levels.
Why Question Your Economic Wisdom?
Right now, there’s nary a negative thought to be had on the subject of mortgages and residential real estate, especially in the unsuspecting Canadian financial media. We Canadians are thoroughly enjoying our global reputation for financial prudence and economic wisdom. There’s more than a little swagger in the step of Canadians at global business and economic forums. As our politicians and mandarins strut their financial stuff on the adoring world stage, the afterglow for Canadian consumers is quickly fading with the prospects of the housing market.
We don’t want to go back to being mere hewers of wood and diggers of commodities. If you’re thought to have found the secret of economic success in the middle of the deepest recession in generations, it’s hard to question your own wisdom. Like the Irish, whose “Celtic Tiger” economy was built on a shaky foundation of real estate price growth and ill-advised mortgage lending, Canadians must eventually confront our financial imprudence.
The Recipe for Infinite Housing Price Growth
Despite the evidence, we Canadians are unshakeable in our conviction that we have discovered the recipe for infinite housing price growth. Excess condo construction? That’s to house rich foreigners. Unaffordable housing? Just watch a few Canadian reality TV housing shows. We are a super race of real estate investors and everyone wants to come and buy our pimped out and very cool houses.
When a strong investment consensus like this forms, those with the most to lose reject all notions that threaten their self-deception. Thoughts or ideas that conflict their comforting shared delusion are rejected out of hand. This will not continue indefinitely. The morning after the bubble bursts, Canadian homeowners will be having regrets about their financial promiscuity as would anyone who has participated in a wild orgy without adequate protection. Canadian politicians, bureaucrats, regulators and reporters will also be regretting their lack of skepticism. Their regrets will soon turn to anger and demands for retribution for those who caused the problems.
What?? Is the perfidious Canso calling into question the obvious and shared Canadian truth that we have the best banks and financial system in the world?
Yes.
IED (Incredibly Excessive Debt) Implosion
You might now be considering a petition to have our citizenship removed for “Un-Canadian” thoughts. Before you ship us off to a penal colony on Baffin Island, consider that Canso probably has the largest percentage of former military officers on staff of any Canadian financial company. Patriotism is not the question.
Our problem is what will happen to our beloved Canada when the government guaranteed mortgage bubble bursts. Inevitably, all lending based on rising financial asset prices flounder as prices reach extremes. Bankers historically have shown that they cannot conceive that financial asset prices can fall more than 50%. When it happens, they go into a catatonic shock and stop lending against that asset. Complicating matters is that Canadian regulators and politicians seem incapable of understanding that Canadian housing prices can fall, despite the prior record in Canada and the obvious example of our neighbours to the south.
As we point out again, the current fashion in official Ottawa has been to lecture Canadians about the “excessive levels” of their personal debt. IEDs (Incredibly Excessive Debts) are dangerous to our financial health. Official Ottawa and Financial Canada hope that consumers with high debts will see the problem of their own making and not blame them. The problem is, as the statistics now show, we are all “tapped out”.
Nowhere to Go But Down
There is nowhere to go for the Canadian housing market but down. The real estate market has now slowed in volume by 10-20% year-over-year in most Canadian markets but prices aren’t dropping. There are two things at work here. One is that in any financial asset market, market tops see declining volumes well before prices drop. The other factor is the statistics of the “average price”. When the housing market slows, it is the lower end that weakens first. This is especially the case now in Canada with the tightening of insured mortgage underwriting standards. If there are 4 houses sold in a month, and one happens to be $4 million dollars, this biases the average price up. This happens every cycle and gives the bullish a reason for hope.
As we have pointed out many times over the years, “real estate professionals” tend to use “gentle” terminology during market downturns. Have you ever heard a real estate commentator talking about “plunging prices”? There is a very good reason that recent articles on housing have focused on month over month statistics and average prices. This “accentuates the positives” in the face of grim prospects. Even the positively positive Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals (CAAMP) is getting worried. When the perennially optimistic practitioner of the “dismal science”, economist Gregory Klump of CAAMP, throws in the towel, we know something is up. Mr. Klump recently shifted gears from a “nothing is wrong” approach to the Canadian housing market to a “something bad is happening” stance, demanding immediate reversal of the tightening of CMHC mortgage standards.
This is too big a subject to cover in this newsletter, so we have decided to make the Canadian housing market and the Canadian insured mortgage bubble the subject of a Canso Px (Position Paper) to be published shortly. We have dug fairly deep into this mess and the reading will not be for the faint of heart. It is sufficient for this discussion to understand that Canada will experience considerable economic stress as the housing bubble bursts. The chart below shows the prodigious amounts that Canadians have invested in their homes.
Canadian Housing on Credit Steroids
The chart on the next page, from the very astute Bank Credit Analyst researchers, shows Canadian and U.S. residential investment and housing starts. A bit of simple math proves our point that the Canadian housing market has been on credit steroids. We have taken the liberty of adding the red line to both charts. Note that in the Canadian 1990 housing bubble, Canada was investing 7% of GDP in residential real estate, while the U.S was investing 4%. Canadian levels fell to 4% during the housing collapse of the early 1990s and stayed there until 2001. For the five years from 1995 to 2000, both Canada and the U.S. were investing 4.5% of GDP. Both Canadian and U.S. residential investment rose from 2001 to 6% in 2006, reflecting Alan Greenspan’s “swan song” monetary heroics and the credit bubble.
The Sky was the Limit!
What is really striking is that U.S. residential investment fell from 6% to under 3% in the real estate bear market. After the overinvestment of 1-2% a year from 2002 to 2007, they have underinvested by even more. The chart above of U.S. housing starts is even more telling. From a level of 1.4 million housing starts, they rose to 2.2 million before collapsing down to 600,000. Even now, with a housing correction underway, the U.S. is only just reaching the 1 million starts level, which is lower than the levels in the early 1990s. Clearly, an economy pays dearly for its housing overbuilding sins.
Canada, on the other hand, “reached for the sky” and moved from 6% in 2006 to 7% at present, courtesy of CMHC and the IMPP. Note that Canadian housing starts plunged from 220,000 to 110,000 during the credit crisis and recession of 2008 to 2009 along with the U.S. Courtesy of the “Debt Whisperer” and the IMPP, Canadian housing starts moved quickly back up to their former 220,000 level while the U.S. continued its downtrend.
Manna From Bank Heaven
The evidence is clear. We Canadians, like the Chinese, borrowed our way out of recession. The only difference is that the Chinese, with their “Command and Control” economy, ordered their bankers to throw caution to the wind and lend recklessly. We bribed ours to lend recklessly with the IMPP and its riskless “manna from bank heaven”.
There is no question in our minds that Canada will experience a very sharp downturn and recession when the housing bubble bursts. This is not something that anyone wants to hear. Reading accounts of the Irish, Spanish, Portuguese and U.S housing bubbles, this is normal.
Good U.S. is Not Great for Canada
The question we are asked, given our view, is what will happen to interest rates. We think we will have the unenviable problem of a weakening economy with rising interest rates. The normal response to a weakening economy is a drop in interest rates. While we expect a desperate Bank of Canada to anchor short-term interest rates and do everything to avoid raising them, long-term bond yields will be set by international factors and capital flows. In past newsletters, we have explained that short-term interest rates are artificially low on a global basis, as monetary authorities around the world deal with our generation’s version of a Great Depression.
The problem for Canada is that things are improving economically in the United States and the rest of the world. As we have pointed out before, we estimate that U.S. short-term interest rates are currently at least 2% below a “normal level”. With a 2% inflation target and “normalization” of Federal Reserve policy, this should put U.S. Treasury Bills at long-term bond yields at 4% and long Treasury yields at 5%. Even if U.S. inflation stays at a more subdued 1% level and monetary policy remains accommodative, we would expect T-Bills to increase from the current 1% to 2% and long Treasuries to at least 4%.
“Normal” Canadian Yields are Higher than U.S.
Canadians might argue that long-term Canadian bond yields are currently below those in the United States and should stay there. As the chart below shows, this is also not “normal”. Canadian long-term bond yields tend to be higher than those in the U.S. We only have Canadian long bonds/yields back to 1990 so we have used the relative “yield spread” between the ten-year Canada and U.S. Treasury bonds back to 1949. As the chart shows, Canadian 10 Year bond yields have averaged 1.1% above those in the U.S. since 1949.
Notably, the current -.30% spread is almost as low as the -.35% low for the entire period in November, 1983. This was a similar period to the present. Interest rates and inflation had been high and were falling with loose monetary policy. The commodity cycle was waning but Canada still benefitted from its status as a commodity producer.
Seven years later in 1990, the spread was +3.0%, the highest for the period. Prophetically, this was during the last housing collapse in Canada and combined with weak commodity prices to severely weaken the Canadian economy. In the early 1990s, Canada was suspect from a credit point of view. There was talk of Canada “hitting the wall” and losing access to the international debt markets with an IMF rescue.
A Weak Loonie Means Wide Spreads
The chart on the next page shows pretty clearly that the Canada U.S. yield spread moves inversely to the strength of the Canadian dollar. When the Canadian dollar is strong, as it has been for the past 10 years since 2003, the yield spread falls. When the Canadian dollar is weak, the yield spreads rise to levels well above the U.S. Treasury.
This is not an accident. Canada is a small, open and commodity-based economy. When Canada is out of favour or people worry about our finances, investors must be compensated for holding Canadian assets.
While we don’t think Canada will be forced into an IMF rescue, we expect that as commodities lose their mojo and the housing market weakens, investors will at least become less enamored with the credit allure of Canadian bonds and the vaunted Loonie.
It could develop into a major reversal and mass liquidation of things denominated Canadian. We are now proud of the fact that world central banks are “diversifying” out of the U.S. dollar into the vaunted Loonie. These are the same central banks who sold out their gold reserves at the price lows and began to buy back at the highs. Since central bankers have perfected the art of “wrong way” trading, do we expect them to rush into depreciating Canadian dollar assets? “Au contraire”, as we would say in our other official language, it’s likely central banks and sovereign wealth funds will head for the proverbial hills.
There’s a good reason that short positions on the Canadian dollar are at highs. The Bank of Canada will under no circumstances raise short-term interest rates in the recessionary environment that we see for Canada. The speculative currency traders understand this. This makes for a very weak Canadian dollar if the Canadian economic miracle is called into question.
How weak? Why, let’s try an experiment with “recency”, the psychological predilection of humans to overweight their most recent experiences. Where do you think the Loonie could go if commodities are out of vogue and the Canadian economy is much weaker than the U.S.? You probably came in at $.90 U.S. How about $.68 U.S. in 1986 and $.62 in 1984, as the chart above shows! We think, given the housing market implosion that we see and potentially the solvency of the Canadian government, the Loonie could go even lower. How low? Well, we don’t think the Bank of Canada will look to “defend” the Loonie until it penetrates $.70 U.S; this argues for higher inflation from imported goods.
Beyond Bed, Bath and Beyond
You might argue that a much lower Canadian dollar would be good for Canada’s manufacturing competitiveness in the major U.S. market. That’s true, but it will take some time for the sector to adjust. The evidence from the industrial area near our offices in Richmond Hill is not good. Many former factories, forced out of existence by the high Loonie, are now distribution centres for imported goods. A high Loonie made it much more profitable to warehouse imported consumer goods for Bed, Bath and Beyond than to assemble or manufacture anything. Consumers watching housing shows and “pimping out” their new residences with mortgage borrowings will soon be watching their spending and possibly looking for a new job.
While we pointed out that the Canadian economy would directly have a 3-4% reduction per annum due to a drop in residential investment, we did not dwell on the “multiplier effect”. As any economist can tell you, housing is an “exogenous variable” in their economic models. This means they have no idea how to forecast it but they know it is very important because of the “multiplier effect”. While Canadians are now investing 7% of our GDP in houses, this does not include the legions of indirect beneficiaries of CMHC’s housing largesse. It is pretty clear that with real estate sales down 10-20% off the peak, real estate agents are seeing a substantial drop in their income. What about the real estate lawyers, bank mortgage administrators and mortgage brokers? How about advertising spending, home renovators, home stagers, and even car dealers that all benefit from the real estate boom. We have seen estimates that 30% of current Canadian GDP is connected to residential real estate.
“Plague on Our Houses?”
The poor Canadian consumers who rushed to the debt parapets to create their country’s “financial miracle” will have a major problem: recession, plunging housing prices, higher inflation, a very weak currency and higher interest rates. Obviously, voters will be questioning the government policies and economic principles that have brought the “plague on their houses”.
The only way for normal people with inadequate income to repay excessive amounts of debt is to default or to wait for rising income to skate them onside. The problem with waiting for rising incomes to skate you onside is that incomes have to rise. This is why it is always politically attractive to allow inflation. A 4% inflation rate halves the value of a debt in real terms over 10 years. This is why the British are allowing much higher rates of inflation. So are the Chinese.
We believe that the U.S. government and the Fed are trying for some “stealth inflation”. If published inflation rises and interest rates therefore rise, the problem is that, although the principal will be reduced in real terms, the servicing costs of borrowing will increase as well. Note that on the Shadow Government Statistics website, John Williams claims the switch to “Hedonic Quality Adjustments” by the Clinton Administration in the late 1990s has caused a drop in reported inflation of 2-3%. It is much easier for politicians to demand lower “published” inflation from the statisticians than to deal with the fallout of higher interest rates.
The problem for Canadian borrowers is that at the BOC inflation target of 2%, it takes a much longer time to reduce the real value of debt. Witness the Canadian 4.25%/ 2021 RRB that now has an inflation accrual of 48% since it was issued 22 years ago. This is the compounded inflation since it was issued in November, 1991.
Mr Poloz’s Problem
We think that the new Governor of the Bank of Canada, Mr. Poloz, will be under immense pressure from politicians to keep interest rates low. If he has to choose between higher interest rates or 4% inflation and a depreciating Loonie, he will err on the side of higher inflation and a lower Canadian dollar. This is a dangerous game once investors figure out higher inflation is in the cards. International investors will be selling their Canadian denominated assets and Canadians will be flocking into US$ bank accounts and U.S. bonds and equities. This implies a very steep yield curve in Canada and eventually some short-term interest rate increases in defense of the Loonie.
That’s why we like floating rate notes. No matter the reported inflation, we will benefit by rising rates. While the $100 principal we lend will be at risk, the shorter terms and rising cash coupon offer more protection than an inflation-linked RRB which will be slaughtered by rising nominal and real rates.
It will not be pretty for Canadian consumers and mortgage default rates when rates rise. The “prudential mortgage standards” implemented by Mr. Flaherty only examine the ability of borrowers to cope with the current 5 year fixed mortgage rate which is now artificially low. Up to 30% of mortgages now are floating rate. Irate consumers, like in the U.S., will be suing the Canadian banks for “artificially inducing” them into borrowing excess amounts. Like politicians in the U.S. and the U.K., Canadian politicians and civil servants will be seeking cover by hammering the “evil banks”. The banks will just have to suck it up and take it like those in the U.S. and the U.K.
We hope that we will have a soft landing like the banks and governments are praying for but it is doubtful this will happen. The evidence is pretty damning.
We’ve noticed a trend in Ottawa that those most involved in the mortgage mania are voluntarily or involuntarily leaving their posts. Julie Dickson, Superintendent of Financial Institutions, is retiring. Mark Carney of the Bank of Canada has moved on to the Bank of England. Karen Kinsley, CEO of CMHC has “retired”. Marc McGinnis, Vice President of CMHC Insurance and Securitization left his post recently “without comment”. Even Bank CEOs seem to want to exit on a high note. Ed Clark, former senior civil servant and CEO of TD Bank is retiring.
As the saying goes, “Success has many authors, failure but few”.

Sacha Souda, A Truely Profitable Trade
When Guru Nanak reached the age of eighteen, his father Mehta Kalu thought of sending him out to learn a lesson on making a trade. Thinking that becoming a Banya (trader) was a profitable profession one in which his son would be happy all day communicating with his customers. So choosing an auspicious day, he called Bhai Bala the Jat to be Guru ji's companion. He gave twenty rupees to Bhai Bala and said, "Go with Nanak, buy and bring some genuine goods so by selling them we may make a good profit. He said to his young son, "If you make a good transaction, I will give you more money next time to buy more goods."
So Nanak and Bhai Bala started from Talwandi to Chuharkana to purchase some merchandise. They had gone just ten or twelve miles from their village, when they came across a group of naked hermits, wearing only langoti (a strip of cloth ties around their waist and running between the legs),, we are Nirbaanis, we have foresworn wearing clothes,. Having fed the Faqirs they headed home empty handed.
When the two approached towards the well. Reaching the well lovers of mankind. The means by which the money is earned are of no importance in this world of worldly men.
It is only people who truly understand the value of good deeds who know the meaning of a truely profitable transaction. |

Roughly two months ago a congregation gathered in Northeast Portland to sing songs led by a band on stage, socialize over coffee and be inspired by speakers.
It looked like a church meeting, but the goal wasn't to teach or promote religious beliefs. It was simply to celebrate life. There was no mention of religion, except to specify that the service wasn't about religion.
On Sunday, Feb. 9, they'll do it again. And again, and again, every second Sunday of the month.
This congregation is the Portland Sunday Assembly. Sunday Assembly congregations have been popping up all over the United States, courtesy of Sanderson Jones, one of two British comedians who founded the now international organization. Jones went on tour in the fall, launching Sunday Assemblies in cities around the U.S., the United Kingdom and Australia.
Jones said the goal is to fill a niche. It's a service and community that has all the benefits of a church -- celebratory music, inspiring talks, a sense of community -- just without "the God bits."
Portland organizer Korin Scott Leman said the feedback after the launch, which was held at the Ambridge Event Center Dec. 10, was overwhelmingly positive. She said more than half of attendees who filled out comment cards volunteered to help.
"Not only do they support it, they want to contribute their time and energy," said the assembly's board member.
That volunteer spirit is essential to making the organization work, Leman said. Organizers hope to see a number of smaller groups within the congregation form to serve attendees and the larger community. Those groups could be anything from support groups to a team that provides semi-regular childcare for families to academic discussions.
"I see the monthly service as being a time when we can all come together to celebrate... and to be on the same page," she said. "It's what will bind us together."
The Portland Sunday Assembly will meet from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. the second Sunday of every month, starting Feb. 9, at the Matt Dishman Community Center, located at 77 N.E. Knott St.

Blagojevich’s lawyers want to persuade the jury that their client “was all hot air” and that his talk on the tapes “was puffery and macho locker-room talk,” says Douglas Godfrey, a former criminal defense attorney who is now a law professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law.
If they can do that, says Mr. Godfrey, they may persuade jurors that he is just another character from a long line of Illinois politicians with bulldog personalities. The difficulty, he says, is showing that all that posturing caught on tape was typical political maneuvering, not for personal betterment.
“[The defense] can say Illinois politics is horse-trading politics. Nobody above the age of 12 should be surprised at that,” says Godfrey.
The danger, in the likely view of his defense team, is Blagojevich’s love of the spotlight.
Since his arrest, he fired his first legal team when they told him to stop talking to the media. In the 1-1/2 years since, there has hardly been a seat on a national talk show Blagojevich hasn’t warmed. His pursuit of the media means he is a published author, a weekly radio talk-show host, and, on some occasions, an Elvis Presley impersonator.
His natural charm and ease with the public will be an asset on the stand, but it also means he will have more opportunities to contradict himself and the testimony of supporting witnesses.
“He does not have a shut-up switch. He will go on and on, and that is to a skillful cross-examiner’s benefit,” says Godfrey.
Besides Blagojevich, the defense plans to call almost a dozen witnesses, including White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, and Patti Blagojevich, the governor’s wife.
The last choice leaves many legal experts scratching their heads. In the wiretaps, she comes off as akin to Lady Macbeth for trying to press her husband to use political power for her family’s personal benefit.
Her testimony would be “potentially devastating,” says Mr. Kling, in that it would give prosecutors an opportunity to delve into the real estate dealings of her husband and convicted Chicago real estate developer Antoin “Tony” Rezko. Mr. Rezko is accused of adding Ms. Blagojevich to a ghost payroll at the governor’s insistence.
Kling says it's “not clear who is running the Blagojevich show." It could be the former governor himself, and “that," he says, "could be dangerous.”

Notes
A baby communicates in a variety of ways:
- body language
- facial expressions
- crying
- other sounds.
Ask the whānau:
- How is baby communicating with you?
- What kinds of sounds have you noticed baby making recently?
- Have you noticed how their body language changes as they develop?
Why copying baby’s sounds is important
Look at the picture on the SKIP baby frieze together, which says ‘copy my sounds’.
- Why do you think this is important?
Read page 17 in the SKIP Whakatipu booklet Te Pihinga 1 Whānau say, where it says:
‘When we copy the sounds pēpi makes it invites her to kōrero more. We’re taking turns just like in a real conversation.’
Language areas of the brain are stimulated when parents talk and copy baby’s sounds. It reminds whānau to pay attention and listen to the noises that baby is making — and by repeating them back, whānau are encouraging early conversations.
- How do you get baby’s attention?
- Do you use words or sounds?
- What words and sounds do you use?
Speak in parentese
Babies pay more attention to the style of speech known as ‘parentese’. This means talking more slowly, exaggerating mouth movements and using a higher pitch.
A young baby’s brain is able to process this style of speaking more easily.
Other tips on communicating with baby
There’s more information about learning to talk and having conversations in Te Pihinga 1 as well.
For example, page 21 explains the importance of being face-to-face with baby when we talk, so they learn to match which mouth movements go with the sounds they hear.
Talk with the whānau about what else is happening for baby during their early communications:
- They learn to understand language much earlier than they can speak it.
- By having conversations they learn about taking turns and sharing.
- Baby may practise making sounds when they’re on their own too.
Babies who hear language used often, in everyday loving interactions, are more likely to do well at school and become confident, self-motivated learners.
How does this topic relate to the SKIP resources?

Not sure if there is a place here for random thoughts and rants. Smoking a rack of ribs for dinner and some chix breasts for lunch for the week. It's a good feeling when everything with your smoke goes absolutely perfect (so far). Perfect smoke, perfect consistent temp. Perfect day to sit in the backyard and drink a few beers while you watch and smell the beautiful TBS billowing out of your smoker.
It's also extremely gratifying to do everything from scratch, made my own rub, my own Memphis-style sauce. Threw together some ABTs. The girlfriend is vegetarian so I even did some ABTs wrapped in veggie bacon (don't laugh, it's actually really good).
Also, can't say enough good things about my recent purchase of the AMNPS and pellets. So great to get long consistent smokes without having to open the door and worry about adding wood chips. I did the mailbox mod to my MES 30 analog and I'm so happy I did.
Just an absolute perfect day and can't wait to dig into the ribs.

‘Spanish Saraha’ is a crescendoing whirl of abstract music, with a fresh atmosphere. Foals have paired beautiful electronic sounds with a gentle vocal line, which melts into a rougher guitar riff. While this may not be single material, it is a superb piece of music that has many layers of instrumentation.

PG- Rajon Rondo, Delonte West
SG- Ray Allen
SF- Paul Pierce, Jeff Green
PF- Kevin Garnett, Glen Davis
C- Shaquille O'Neal, ?
So who's the 1st option to be the backup C?
Nenad for half his time as a Celtics has wowed us with his offense -- his ability to finish, fit free throws, hit the mid-range, and even post up. He's been an inconsistent rebounder -- some games he's looked like our saving grace on the boards and others, he's looked like Rasheed Wallace. His defense is improving and his defensive shortcomings will be less magnified as a bench player, but he still fouls a lot and forces other guys to work harder to compensate for him.
Jermaine on the other hand, is a very solid overall defender, whether it is man-to-man, weakside, in the post, or on the perimeter. His rebounding, like Krstic's, is a question mark, although his toughness on the boards is probably better. His offense is decent but probably not quite Krstic's -- he does the same things but not at the same rate.
This is a very important question, seeing as either two of these guys is taking Perk's place in the rotation. In addition, these guys play pretty differently, and the guy manning that backup C spot will change the dynamic of this team. |

Review – Catwoman #1 (DC Comics)
Publisher: DC Comics
Writer/Artist: Joëlle Jones
Colours: Laura Allred
Lettering: Josh Reed
Release Date: 4th June 2018
[WARNING: REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR BATMAN #50]
In principal the idea of Joëlle Jones, one of my absolute favourite artist-slash-writers of the last few years, taking the helm of a brand new solo Catwoman series should fill me with an almost giddy level excitement. However, given everything that’s going on in Selina Kyle’s personal life at the moment, I’ll admit that I did feel a tiny amount of trepidation that this could become yet another Bat book where the Dark Knight’s frequent cameos end up overshadowing the main character.
Well, if you’ve already read Batman #50 (and if you haven’t, GET OUT NOW!), you’ll know that Miss Kyle put that particular concern to bed in a fairly emphatic fashion.
The three intertwining narrative threads at the start of the issue allow Jones to hit the ground running, throwing in a pleasing bait-and-switch and allowing us to get a brief insight into at Selina’s current mindset. Catwoman has always been a character who plays her cards close to her chest, and her reaction here is no different as she bottles up her feelings and leans into her vices. Jones also introduces a fascinating new villain along the way with an absolutely stunning single-page sequence, and the final page definitely offers up some interesting possibilities for this fledgling series.
Unfortunately, the main niggle I had with this issue is that I just didn’t feel it, particularly in the wake of Batman #50. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a “how could you, Selina?!?” criticism, as I’m more than confident that Batman writer Tom King knows exactly what he’s doing. It’s just that, given the massive, character-altering outcome of the “Bat and Cat” wedding, it feels almost callous for Catwoman to head off on her own and start another adventure with a villain in the wake of such a monumental rug-pulling.
That said, Jones at least tries to acknowledge the effect that the jilting is having on Selina, turning her into a quasi-insomniac gambling addict, but with the exception of one particularly masterful page where she receives a package from Alfred, I just didn’t feel the same level of emotion that the shocking events of Batman #50 should perhaps have warranted.
Visually this is absolutely stunning stuff, as you might expect from a multi-Eisner nominated technician like Jones. Slick, polished layouts, wonderfully expressive female characters and a fantastic sense of energy in the action sequences echo the strengths of Jones’ Lady Killer series, with colourist Laura Allred adding some extra depth with a colour palette predominantly made up of blues and purples – as you might expect.
Jones’ track record is stellar, and for me at least, the further Batman #50 gets in the rear view mirror, the better this series is likely to become. I’m not naïve enough to think that Bruce won’t at least show up in these pages somewhere down the line, as there’s clearly still a massive amount of story to be told there, but I’m definitely looking forward to seeing one of my favourite creators stamping her mark on such an iconic character.
There’s no denying that Catwoman has had something of an uneven comic book history in terms of quality writing and artwork, but in the hands of Joëlle Jones, it feels like Selina Kyle is finally going to get the solo focus she richly deserves. |

“…Viet Cuong’s 10:29 minute title track is a rare example of a newly-minted contemporary heavyweight that hits the spot on the first hearing.”
April 7, 2015. Classical Guitar Magazine, “Krystin O’Mara’s ‘Obsession’ is an Impressive Offering of New and Known Pieces” by Paul Fowles
“Obsession, by Viet Cuong (1990) is a gem.”
June 7, 2014. Cleveland Classical, “CD Review: Obsession — Krystin O’Mara, classical guitar” by Mike Telin
“The dazzler among the premieres was 23-year-old Viet Cuong’s ‘Lacquer and Grit,’ an exercise in ‘overblown harmonics’— the sounds that flutists produce when they overblow their instruments… the result was an exciting virtuoso flute display for Mimi Stillman, combined with lively music that would have been enjoyable even if you didn’t know the composer had placed the flutist on a high wire without a net.”
May 21, 2013. Broad Street Review, “Dolce Suono’s Debussy farewell: Debussy and his putative successors” by Tom Purdom
“Cuong’s ‘Zanelle’ for unaccompanied clarinet provided Kanasevich a great curtain-raiser for the afternoon. It’s a jaunty, jazzy score with concise melodic riffs that provide abundant material to develop.”
January 18, 2011. Baltimore Sun, “Music in the Great Hall spotlights promising clarinetist Gleb Kanasevich” by Tim Smith
“After a brief intermission, six more student compositions were performed by a variety of ensembles, including…a show-stealing solo clarinet piece titled ‘Zanelle’ by Viet Cuong, which showcased Miles Jaques’ virtuosity.”
Spring 2010. Peabody Magazine, “Finding Their Voice” by Brett McCabe

Greenway volunteers to build new trail in Island Crest Park
Mountains to Sound Greenway volunteers will help build a new trail in Island Crest Park this weekend, on National Trails Day.
Volunteers will work in partnership with the City of Mercer Island on Saturday, June 4. For many years volunteers have been improving Mercer Island parks, planting native trees and shrubs and removing invasive plants to restore wildlife habitat. Mercer Island has 35 parks, over 400 acres of natural areas and more than 50 miles of trails.
In addition to ongoing environmental restoration work, Greenway volunteers will focus on increasing access to the natural areas on the Island through the construction of this new trail, clear brush, create a sustainable tread and install a gravel surface.
“I want to thank the volunteers who will be working on National Trails Day,” said Peter Goldmark, Commissioner of Public Lands and Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust Board Member. “During tough budget times, their time and effort are even more important to help keep trails and recreation areas open and accessible to the public.”
Full and half day shifts are available for volunteers. To volunteer, visit, call (206) 812-0122 or write to [email protected].

Funding of shopper marketing and trade promotion is increasing, but with varied results, putting the pressure on shopper marketers and trade promotion managers to be performance-based. To achieve this, a greater focus on the elements of execution and the collection of insights into what is happening at the store level is required.
In a publication titled “Winning through More Insightful, Better Executed Promotions,” the Promotion Optimization Institute (POI) evaluates the insights obtained from their 2016-2017 TPx and Retail Execution Survey in order to identify the key barriers to high-performance promotion execution. While their study primarily focused on trade promotions, our decade of experience managing shopper marketing execution for CPGs finds that the barriers identified directly transcend into shopper.
Four of the most common barriers to high-performance shopper marketing execution include:
1. Program Grandfathering
The same programs are often run over and over as if on auto-repeat, with often only minor changes made to key control elements. Rather than building new shopper marketing budgets based on evaluation of which programs are working and which are not, program funding is typically based on history and “perceived necessity,” rather than evidenced performance, which wastes budget and fails to surprise and delight the consumer with fresh creativity and engagement.
2. Lack of Qualitative Data
Program effectiveness is typically measured based on quantitative data, such as coupon redemption rates or in-store product sales. This data is usually not segmented by store or supported by contextual data, including in-store execution variables like location, proximity and competitor activity. It also often does not detail all program elements, from in-store to digital tactics, and the timing of each each. Without looking at the total program package, shopper marketers cannot understand how the removal or addition of any one tactic effects performance. It is the addition of contextual and qualitative data that can help shopper marketers build attribution models that reveal which specific variables are most critical to program performance.
3. Poor Retailer Compliance
Retailers are often permitted to take provided shopper marketing program assets and run programs on their own via set aside funding. At times, whether it be be that they do not fully believe in the program plan or understand what the critical elements are to driving results, retailers do not execute in compliance with outlined program guidelines, diminishing brand equity and wasting brand budget.
4. No Post-Event Analysis Automation
Many shopper marketers are only fully evaluating several of their lead programs at their top tier accounts, leaving the majority of programs absent from in-depth level analysis. This is typically because there is no way to automate the aggregation and reporting of this data into a centralized, readily available online system. Post-event analysis requires intensive manual labor by a network of individuals and the consolidation of each individual’s disconnected data into one spreadsheet. The POI study found that the greatest percent of promotions a CPG is able to evaluate is 40%, and that is because they have an analytical pool of dozens of individuals dedicated exclusively to this task. Most CPGs are only able to evaluate a small fraction.
In order to become performance-based, shopper marketers need greater ability to capture the cause and effect of their programs. They need an agile, highly automated software system that can capture multiple data complexities from various internal and external sources, and support analysis at the store-level. Knowing what drove or didn’t drive performance at the outlet level forms the basis for insights, which drives a greater desire for collaboration from retailers and a greater ability to deliver performance.

Viktor Schauberger
Viktor Schauberger was an Austrian forest caretaker, naturalist, philosopher, inventor and biomimicry experimenter.
Schauberger developed his own ideas based on what he observed in nature. Viktor Schauberger gained insight of the implosion by observing nature, which made him question the current scientific world view at his time, of how energy should be used. He believed the implosion principle manifests at macrocosmic scale in “screw-like movements” of the planets and at microcosmic scale in “ellipsoidal orbits” as the electrons in Bohr’s atomic model do. This “cycloidal motion forms” are also found in the material intermediate forms of our physical reality, a thesis from which he derived the motto “understand and copy nature“.
In Implosion magazine, a magazine released by Schauberger’s family, he said that aeronautical and marine engineers had incorrectly designed the propeller. He stated:.
Alick Bartholomew has written a book about Schauberger’s unorthodox ideas.

Why Members Value ALA
"As a 20 year member of ALA, I can honestly say, ALA was my life line as the firm I am with grew from a very small 10 person firm to its current 85 person firm. Then, I was new to the job, and the people and printed resources were much needed. Not only the members of my chapter were called upon, but from ALA national conferences I was also able to network with the smaller firms that met my needs at that time. As the firm grew, so did my need for new information, particularly as we passed some magic numbers for state and federal benefits. ALA members came to my rescue. Even though I have six department heads and an office manager that now report to me and are responsible for some of the day to day people issues, I still rely on ALA to meet my needs for information. It is the first source I turn to."

"The CLM designation has given me renewed confidence in both my personal and professional capabilities. While sitting for the exam was challenging, it was well worth the effort. Having the CLM designation shows extraordinary dedication and commitment to the profession – something that employers look for. "

"All ten of the ALA Annual Educational Conferences that I have attended presented me with opportunities to learn new skills, to see the latest trends and gadgets in the legal market, to meet new friends and to rekindle old relationships. This year, I decided to give a little bit back to ALA by volunteering to introduce one of their wonderful educational session speakers to the ALA attendees. It felt great to be more than just a participant this year (even if it meant working outside my comfort zone) and to actually play a very tiny part in the ALA Annual Educational Conference experience. I would encourage everyone to “Walk the Walk and Talk the Talk” by volunteering and earning a Session Manager ribbon!"
Weiner Lesniak, LLP
"I have been a Session Manager at ALA every year except one since 1999 (I skipped the year I was Chapter President). It has been a fabulous experience for me. It gives me the opportunity to get to know other ALA members from around the country, and I always enjoy meeting and chatting with the speaker before and after each session. I benefit significantly from ALA - both personally and professionally, and being a Session Manager is a small way I can give back to ALA - while having a ton of fun. "
Greene Espel, PLLP
"I’m proud to have earned the CLM designation and, for me, it has made a difference in my career by providing prospective employers with a certain degree of assurance that I have the knowledge base to perform the essential duties of a legal administrator. The CLM is quite specific to our industry, and it has provided me personal satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment in a profession which has a wide range of educational credentials and experience. "
McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP
"I am just thrilled that I accomplished one of my long standing goals to become a CLM. I have had this on my mind to do since 1998 – always looking into it preparing to study, etc. I have spent the past two years studying, reading, etc and my entire summer vacation and Labor Day weekend was spent in a cottage on the Cape just reading, walking, studying and praying!
The title of CLM has already resulted in a boost in my esteem and new respect in my firm where I have been for the past 12 years! The support I have received from my ALA peers has been just great – as I would expect nothing less from them.
I can’t tell you how delighted I am! Thank you."

When I googled about React.js what I got is: React.js is a Framework that is used to create user interfaces. If a particular part of the website is frequently updated that means we can use react. But I am confused that Ajax has been used for this only. We can update a part of site using Ajax without page refresh. For templating we would be using handlebars and mustache. Could somebody explain me in what ways react is different from Ajax and why we should use it.
Ajax is used to refresh a web page without having to refresh it : it sends a request to the server, but typically the response is processed by the javascript that displays dynamically a new element on the browser without having to relead the entire page.
React is a javascript library that dynamically update the page with inferface components. The components are calculated either by javascript interactions or by an ajax request that go thru the server. So ReactJS can also use Ajax requests to update the page.
Mustache and Handlebars are a bit different from ReactJS as the main goal is to transform a template in a component that will be displayed in a page. It can also use Ajax to get data (for getting templates or json datas). |
So what does one do when they’re exhausted, overworked and feeling downright lazy? Well many of my lovely friends probably
turn to some retail therapy, however I have to say I’m glad I head to the cinema. This weekend was no exception. Firstly lets get some admin out of the way…
Huge apologies in the first instance for my tardiness this month in terms of blogging. Following my fantastic stint at the London Film Festival, I’m afraid exhaustion and lack of money somewhat took over and I’ve been back to the daily grind trying to pull in some pennies. Having a rare day off like today, I’m happy to report that in the last week I’ve been lucky enough to watch not one but two fabulous films: The Help (Emma Stone, Jessica Chastain) and The Adventures of Tin Tin – The Secret of the Unicorn. So where does one begin? Well after that turkey of a film A Dangerous Method, which was my last review, I’m happy to report that I have some uplifting content for you – the Hollywood studios haven’t gone completely to pot, even if David Cronenberg does seemed to have stumbled into a very large pot hole with that latest offering…lets move swiftly on shall we?
THE HELP
Its the time of the civil rights movement of the 1960’s, and where the class divide is at its most evident we follow the story of a
tenacious young female writer (“Skeeter” – Emma Stone) as the unconventional middle class Jacksonville daughter who sees straight through the Stepford lifestyles of her friends and finds wonderful compassion in the stories of those who help make the households the show homes that these women and their families live in. Convincing the black community of maids to start telling their stories, she unveils the mis treatment, inequality and narrow mindedness of not only women but men in that period of time.
This film for me sits a staple piece of fantastic storytelling – much like The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption. It made me laugh, made me cry and most importantly it made me learn from the film. I would like to class it as one of those films which you would quite happily keep in your collection and refer back to year upon year for a pleasant watch with great performances and a morality tale for the last century.
The performances as I previously mentioned are wonderful, Emma Stone leads the pack with her ugly duckling heroine Skeeter who is not afraid to be who she really is and cross boundaries to allow other people to try and live a better life. I couldn’t think of a better actress than Stone to play this part. We also have the almost unrecognisable Jessica Chastain as Ceelia Foote, the outcast ‘hussy’ who really puts dumb blonde on another level. Her versatility in her roles demonstrates her to be one of the most exciting new actresses in Hollywood at the moment. The one who really stands out
for me however, is Bryce Dallas Howard who plays the ‘villain’ of the piece Hilly Holbrook. So desperate to be the perfect wife she reminds you of the prettiest but meanest girl in school with her posse of dimwitted followers at her feet. Howard expertly portrays this character with such a fine balance that audiences really begin to hate everything she is and stands for (she throws her own mother ‘Sissy Spacek’ into a nursing home for laughing at her!) but at the same time you can’t help but warm to her lack of awareness and education and although her comeuppance is comedic, it still brings forth the overall messages of the film.
A wonderful film, great performances and if you haven’t yet read the book, I’m pleased to say that its not the be all and end all, you can still enjoy the film regardless and if you’re anything like me, make sure you bring a box of tissues for the second half of the film – its a weepy!
THE ADVENTURES OF TIN TIN – THE SECRET OF THE UNICORN
Where do I begin with this one? Well lets start with a bold statement – this film hosts possibly the best animation in a film I have ever seen!!! There you go, how d’you like them apples?! From start to finish I was gripped. I usually don’t like 3D movies a hell of a lot, my eyes start to hurt and I hate how the glasses make the screen just that tad darker. But never the less, I can safely say that I was lost with this film. Lost in a fantasy world where Indiana Jones meets Pirates of the Caribbean and everything you’d want from a great family film adventure was handed to you on a plate… Oh if only it was real…wait a minute, it is isn’t it? I certainly got lost for a good few moments forgetting that what I was watching was an animation. Although different in form, whatever hype there was around the skills of Avatar, here Spielberg blows Cameron out of the water!!!
So the story follows the journalist Tin Tin (Jamie Bell), who by buying a model of a 16th Century boat (as you do) lands himself in the middle of an age old rivalry between a pirate (of course) and a Captain Haddock – (Andy Serkis, pure genius). On his quest to uncover the story of this rivalry and inevitable hoard of treasure, we follow Tin Tin’s journey around the seven seas as he pieces together the puzzle.
The detail in the animation is just phenomenal, my particular highlights are when one scene merges into the next and like a wave
magicians wand we are transported to a flashback of a land far and wide! Now there are a few minor faults, it does take just a pinch too long to get going in the beginning, but you’ll quickly forgive that. This film is smart, funny, and the chase scene towards the end is just exquisite. Like the Goonies is for me now, if I was ten years old, this would be the film I would take through with me to adulthood as my keepsake. Its just an absolute gem, and without giving too much away I would urge you to see it on the big screen before it’s too late.
Oh and just one last comment – its quite clear from this film, that Tin Tin wouldn’t be half as famous as he is if it wasn’t for his genius dog Snowy! Why can’t all pets be that clever!!
Finally to help you on your way to the cinema, here’s my LSQTV colleague Michael Kern getting all the film’s gossip at the premiere of Tin Tin last month…enjoy!! |

When your life depends on being in a busy city, and you enjoy running in the summer months, you need to be sure that you are running safe. Your running can be in a rural area where there are no sidewalks or road construction, but there are homes with children and dogs. It is up to you to make sure that you have a running safety alarm in place, which can alert you to any potential danger. Of course, you would not want to leave your home until an alarm goes off, but this is an important thing to remember.It is always a good idea to make sure that your alarm is working before you leave for the day. The last thing you want to do is be late back from your run due to running in the dark or tripping over something. If you do not know when your alarm will go off, you could be coming home to a huge mess on your lawn! If this is not a concern for you, then you may not need to invest in a new alarm.

A simple step that you can take that will help you ensure that your personal safety alarm is working, is to get yourself a cordless one. If you have a garden, then your alarm will also be able to detect loose wiring that may be in your yard. Cordless alarms are relatively easy to use, and are quite reliable. Your receiver is already on the other end of the line, so you will not have to worry about remembering where the battery is, or having to find a wall outlet.Another great thing about cordless alarms is that they are small enough to be hidden, or buried in a garden. Since the unit does not need to be plugged into a power source, you can easily hide it in your yard, garage, or even under a bush. While you are not going to be able to hear the alarm if someone walks by, it will alert you if someone trips over it, or happens to trip over it near the power source.

One of the best ways to ensure that you are safe when running is to get audible alerts. This way, if you do not hear the alarm, you will still be alerted that someone is close by. If you do not have anything else to use as a warning, then you may want to try these.You can purchase an audible alerts that is installed in your yard. You can set it so that when someone walks around your property, the alerts will sound. If you are trying to find something in your yard, or anywhere near your home, this is a great option.

If you do not want to invest in a personal alarm system, you can purchase a non-audible alarm. This system will also alert you when someone gets close by, but does not have to make a loud noise. This is also a very affordable option for those who do not want to hear the sound of an alarm. Most people who choose the non-audible option will not be running long distances, so you can certainly use it as your running safety alarm.These are just a few ideas for your running safety alarm. There are many more options out there for you to choose from. When you are running, you want to be as safe as possible, and one of the best ways to be safe is to make sure that you have a running safety alarm in place. |
Katie Holmes Joins 'The Giver' as Brenton Thwaites' Mother
Katie Holmes lets out a big smile while taking a walk around town with some gal pals on Thursday afternoon (September 26) in New York City.
The 34-year-old actress will be joining the star-studded cast of the upcoming film The Giver, based on the best-selling novel, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The film is about “a young boy (Brenton Thwaites) who is selected for his life service as the Receiver of Memories and works with The Giver (Jeff Bridges), an old man who teaches the boy to use his unique gifts of the senses. Meryl Streep is the society’s Chief Elder, an authoritative and antagonistic woman who assigns the young their tasks.”
Katie is playing the mother of the boy, a “strict obeyer of the laws that govern what is described as an antiseptic society.”

As I’ve mentioned once or twice on this blog, I love music — all sorts of music. So I knew that little baby J was going to have to have a song of his own. After all I had my own song (Riders on the Storm – The Doors), so he was going to need one, too.
A couple weeks ago, B and I went to a Ryan Bingham/Lucero concert at Iron City. B had been wanting to see Ryan Bingham for a really long time, so I had gotten him tickets for Christmas. Like top of his list of people he wanted to see, so extra awesome wife points for me.
Mr. Bingham was talking about this song, and how his wife was expecting this summer as well, and he wrote it for his soon to be son. B and I looked at each other and knew this was Baby J’s song:
We loved one of the lyrics so much that I commissioned the talented Brooks to hand letter it for us:
I absolutely can’t wait to put this in his nursery. It is definitely a one of a kind piece, and speaks perfectly to what we hope for him.
Such an awesome song! And Brooks did a great job on that piece 🙂
Funny story…your song is a song that one of my cabin mates at cheer camp used to fall asleep to every night. She had to play it on repeat every single night we were there and so now when I hear it…this calm comes over me like it is sleepy time haha!
Aww, what a sweet song and love the print! That’s going to look awesome in the nursery!
aw what a lovely song, and i love the print!
This is so cool! |

Department. It supports those who most effectively integrate research and education into their work. A particular research topic for the individual is selected for the honor.
Panthani was funded for “Synthesis and Properties of Group IV Colloidal Quantum Wells.” The research is aimed at continuing the arc of creating better, more efficient ways of transmitting data for computer processors that will benefit areas such as education, health care, scientific research and national defense.
“The current method of using fiber optic cables to transmit data over long distances has become very energy efficient in recent years,” Panthani explains. “But – when we transmit this data over a short distance, there is a lot less efficiency.” He uses the example of the computer you may have on your desk right now: “When you use that computer it generates a lot of heat. The computer circuit chips in that computer contain miles and miles of wiring that heats up a lot and this heat limits the computer’s performance.”
Panthani and his research group are tackling this issue by developing a way for this data to be transmitted using optoelectronic properties (a laser is an example) instead of through wiring. This is done by thinking small. Very small. One-thousandth the width of a human hair small. That’s the thickness of ultrathin sheets of semiconductor material using silicon or silicon mixed with the chemical element germanium. But the sheets need material on top of them to perform the needed functions. Panthani’s group is experimenting with controlling and coordinating the composition, structure and chemistry of molecules attached (ligands). The plan is to have each molecule coordinated with a ligand to help protect it from things that can inhibit performance. The goal is to make processing of electronic devices better for computing and telecommunications.
A key team member in the research has been graduate student Bradley Ryan, who began his involvement with Panthani’s research in 2014 as an undergraduate and has now continued on with the team as a graduate student. Ryan says he is “enthralled by investigating and understanding the reality that lies beyond what we know.” In this case, what is known is that “this research has the potential to benefit society by enabling technologies that can lead to integrated photonics, which would enable faster, lighter and more efficient personal devices.” He says these areas “need engineers to mature technologies for implementation in commercially available products.”
“Dr. Panthani enables me to think for myself, push the boundaries of science, and develop the skills that I need to be a successful scientist,” says Ryan. “He is a main reason why I came back to Iowa State University to pursue a graduate degree.”
The NSF CAREER award provides funding for the project to 2024. “But we have already established different directions to move in, and we have collaborators who are now interested,” says Panthani, “including physicists at Argonne National Laboratory to look at silicon-based laser technology.”
And perhaps one of the biggest contributions the research project will make is to help spread scientific knowledge and interest to K-12 students. “One of the goals of the grant is to have my group work with high school teachers to increase their exposure to scientific endeavors. It’s all part of the Next Generation Science Standards, a national program for students,” Panthani explains. “This program stresses the importance of moving away from just learning facts to actually experiencing the process of science. Teachers typically don’t have hands-on experience in these processes. This program will have me working with science teachers in the summer to give them the kind of real world exposure they need to better teach their students, and we will collaborate with them to help them achieve this.” The program will also help encourage underrepresented groups to pursue careers in STEM fields.
Panthani joined the Iowa State CBE faculty in 2014. His research focuses on addressing global challenges in the areas of energy production, utilization and efficiency. |
I was born 4 years ago, as Mommy said. She was so overjoyed that she literally started crying tears of joy. I did not understand that very well, I cry only when I’m hurt and when Mommy cuts onion….but…there she was, crying happily. As I said before, adults are strange. |
Harry, Ron and Hermione all met on their way to Hogwarts, not knowing that that would be the start to an incredible friendship that would last throughout their school years and beyond. It's hard to know when first meet people whether these will be our friends or not. Of course sometimes we know, like Harry meeting Draco and already knowing they would not be friends upon first meeting him. But his first encounter with Hermione did not exactly forecast a great friendship either, and yet one grew from that.
So what about you? How did you meet your best friends?
I met my best friends online actually. Several years ago on a forum discussing books we all loved and fanfiction pertaining to these books. A few years later we first met in real life and we are now best friends even though we live very far apart. True friendships know no borders. |

Benefits Of Panoramic Cameras For Safer Homes
Security cameras have become a staple technological security software in the house. In most cases, more homeowners have started to make sure that these cameras work. They can become protection plans and additional evidence, in case break-ins occur.
As the technology for security cameras advance, the benefits of higer-spec models, like panoramic security cameras, have become more in demand. If you are thinking of setting up a security camera system in and around your house, here are a few things to consider. Check and see if a panoramic camera system is a good fit for your home.
Know Who’s Coming To Your Home--And From Where
Every time you go for a vacation or leave the house for affairs as a family, this time is always an unsafe period for the house. Having no one in the house means it can be an inviting time for potential intruders to try their luck at prying into your home.
Yet even when you are at home, it may feel safe to have some form of surveillance on the outside, to keep potential threats at bay. Security cameras already give this sense of safety for homeowners. Panoramic security cameras extend this view, both figuratively and literally, by providing the kind of service that would capture more visual fields around your home’s parameters.
If you are within the home, panoramic cameras can capture footage more than what regular security cameras can offer. When you are away, you can set up the camera to capture more footage and eve hook it up to ample security alarm sounds, so that your neighbors will be alerted of any unexpected activity from around the house.
Reduce Blind Spots Without More Costs
One misconception when it comes to panoramic cameras is that it will cost more than a regular security camera. Some assume that it will require more bandwidth and usage of data will also eat into your allotted budget for security cameras. However, the advancement in technologies has aimed to address this issue.
Now, panoramic cameras only need one network cable and an IP address. This saves homeowners from getting multiple management software licenses. For those who are on a budget, this makes it easier to get more cameras to make your household feel safer.
Expansive Images Of Protection Without the Warping
Another great aspect of having panoramic security cameras in the home is that it has advanced in its visual presentation and quality. Panoramic cameras not only have an improved zoom function for recorded images, but they also now feature de-warping technology, in case you would need to retrieve certain footages with higher quality.
Make sure that your chosen security system provider can recommend the right specs that are a good fit for your home. This will entail working closely with them so you will know the extent of what you would need so that the specs tailored to your needs. Everything is in the details, so knowing the details that you feel would be appropriate for your house’s protection will give you the best option for security.
Supercircuits offers some of the best high-tech and high-spec security cameras that are most suitable for homes. Their security cameras can be installed indoor or outdoor, with the proper features to withstand conditions without losing footage quality. |

Back in March, Warner Bros. released their first real foray into the cinematic universe with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. This was DC Comics move into a cinematic space that has been dominated for eight years by Marvel Pictures that in those eight years managed to conclude two trilogies, establish two Avenger movies and is already planning their Phase 4 slate of movies. This movie smashed its way into theaters and made a terrible thud sound.
Since its release, we have heard about a longer cut of the film that would make the running time about 3 hours, while the theatrical release was trimmed down to two and a half hours. In that span of 30 minutes, do you think it could have made a big difference? After the reaction I had to the original cut, and upon seeing the “Ultimate Edition” there is a huge difference between the films. If you hated the way director Zack Snyder treated Batman in this film, or Wonder Woman for that matter, there is nothing I am going to say that will change that. The cut was a massive improvement in the realm of the narrative.
If you are reading this, chances are that you viewed the original film, so I will not bore you with the overall story. I will focus on the additions and the impact it made in the overall story arc of the film. In the very beginning of the movie, that first ten minutes roughly stays the same. Batman’s dream intro and the destruction of Metropolis. When the story moves to present day and Lois is in Africa, an entire thread in the scene was cut.
We get the proper introduction of Jimmy Olson and that he, in facts, meets Lois in Africa. Not only that, we find that she was requested to interview the warlord – she did not ask for the assignment. There it is established that something weird is going on. When Olson is killed, we find that the CIA has been monitoring the situation and a team was on the ground to extract Lois before an apparent drone strike was going to wipe out the compound. The CIA team wanted to get Lois out before the strike but they were overruled.
After Luther’s henchmen laid waste to everyone in the compound, they gather the bodies and burn them up. That flamethrower scene in the end, yeah it was used in the beginning so it wasn’t random. Luther’s men take off because they know “he” is coming. As the drone makes its way to the compound, it fires the missile. However, the missile is destroyed before it reaches its target as is the drone itself. Superman stops it. Shortly after Superman dispatches with the warlord, people from the village and the CIA team rush into the compound and find the burned bodies and carnage. Giving the illusion that Superman did this. Thus, setting up for the trial that we saw afterwards.
The film itself is littered with moments like this. Many of the narrative questions you had after the original viewing are explained in this cut. It made me cringe to think that all that stuff would be okay to cut but we still needed that Pa Kent scene and the Superman hike.
Other issues that are explained is the branding of Batman, why Superman didn’t see the bomb in the wheelchair and how he was an unwitting participant rather than a complicit co-conspirator. Not only that but we have more development of Clark going to Gotham and actually realizing that Batman is a menace. He tries to use his position as a reporter to stop him but it becomes more clear that the use of Superman is the only thing he would understand. The lady that testified to Congress has a bigger thread in the movie and is a linchpin for the narrative.
What the movie proves is that Lex Luthor had such an elaborate plan to pit Batman against Superman from the beginning. Getting the people of Metropolis and Gotham to turn against their hero so that when pitted, one will be hailed as a hero while the other is scorned as a villain. Unfortunately, there is no extended moment for the whole “Martha” sequence but after seeing the extra stuff, you kind of forgive that. Oh, and Jena Malone is not batgirl like the internet believed. She was simply a STAR labs scientist that helped Lois along the way. No explanation as to how she knows her but she is easy on the eyes, so you can forgive it.
With the more completed narrative, the three hour run time actually feels shorter. With all the additional content, there is more space between the dream sequences that it doesn’t seem to bother you as badly as upon the first viewing. I found the film to be a better version of what was released and a more complete story. Development of both Batman and Superman was much improved and many of the things that felt rushed and oddly cut were more complete and coherent. To be honest, if this was the version released in theaters, the backlash would not have been so profound.
Recommendation:
If you liked the original cut – buy this version.
If you disliked it or disappointed in the original cut – rent it.
If you simply hated it – don’t bother, nothing anyone could say will change your mind.

Once upon a time in a tiny town called Hermann, there lived a very happy family…Just kidding, well not really and we are a very happy family, but a fairytale we are not.
Our story is just like all good narratives, it is a happy one with all the ups, downs, good, and dark moments that happen in life. My husband and I purchased the building in January 2019 with plans to renovate and create an art gallery, studio, storefront, and four guest rooms. This plan came about after I was able to ditch the accounting job, stay home for a bit, and then return to college for art. The Blank Canvas Gallery & Studio is truly a dream come true; an old dream made new.
The Blank Canvas is a fine arts gallery with a fully functioning art studio. Most of our artists are emerging, with a few established artists. We host creative activities throughout the month, watch for our calendar of events on our website or visithermann.com. We also love pop-in creators, we are always ready to head to the studio with you for some creative fun. Should our business hours not suit your schedule, give us a call to see when we can set up an after-hours session.
As well as the gallery and studio, we have four artistically decorated guest rooms on the second floor adjacent to our studio. If you are looking for a great getaway, come stay at The Artists Suites.

The Catholic Church is continuing to support priests accused of child sexual abuse -- including five who were convicted.
Of the 46 priests in the damning Dublin Archdiocesan report, 15 are receiving financial support either directly or indirectly from the diocese.
However, the Church has also employed an ex-garda detective to work as a liaison officer with the priests and monitor their behaviour.
Some 11 of the 46 were members of religious orders, while one belongs to a UK diocese. A further 10 mentioned in the report are dead but as of July 2008 the report found that out of the remainder:
A spokeswoman for the archdiocese said the continuing support given to priests who had been accused of child abuse was a "deliberate policy, based on current best practice, aimed at protecting children".
"The men involved receive less financial support than retired priests and less again than working priests of the diocese," she said.
"They are asked to cooperate with the Irish Child Protection Service in the diocese which monitors their living arrangements and stability. If they don't cooperate their financial support is cut off. This is the only service of its kind in the country . . . that we are aware of that works in this manner with people accused."
She added that any information on these men is shared with the gardai and the Republic's HSE.
However, she refused to say whether financial support had been cut off from any priests since last year, saying she had "nothing further to add".
Up until July 2008 a total of €77,000 was paid by the archdiocese in legal fees for the priests. However, priests pay their own legal fees if they are charged with an offence.
Last night, Maeve Lewis of One in Four said the priests should be supported in whatever way helps to prevent them from further abusing children.
She said that in some dioceses the priests were automatically laicised and this means that the Church "ceases to have any supervision" over them.
Marie Collins, a victim of clerical sex abuse, said that if the Church was financing the men, then that had to go hand in hand with "very intense monitoring" of their activities. "Care must be taken that they have no access to children," she said.

The bomb had been underneath one of the city’s most notorious bars.
The closure of Schwabinger 7 had infuriated many who saw it as a legendary part of Munich’s night-life, one of the last remaining dark, scruffy places, where the Rolling Stones used to go drinking when hanging out with Uschi Obermaier.
All attempts to save the bar failed – and the sounds made by late-night boozers was replaced by the rumble of the building being pulled down. Workers with pneumatic drills were hard at work on Monday, while all around them people went about their business in the lively district.
Until a digger scraped against metal on Monday – and work on the site was halted.
Even then Munich bomb disposal officer Diethard Posorski and his colleagues assumed it was a ‘normal’ bomb – which although dangerous, can be handled with care.
It took several hours before it became clear that the 250-kilo bomb was not the normal kind; it has a chemical detonator, said Posorski.
“That is a chemical delayed-action detonator. I am not defusing that, I’m not suicidal,” he told the Münchner Merkur newspaper on Monday night.
He referred to the three people who died in Göttingen in 2010 trying to defuse exactly the same kind of bomb, which exploded when they lifted it up a little.
“We also lifted this one up a touch, but thank God, we survived,” he said.
The operation to clear people from their homes started on Monday night at around 10pm and was later extended so that around 2,500 living within 300 metres of the bomb were affected.
They were given just minutes to grab a few things and leave. Officials went door to door making sure everyone had heard and understood the instructions being blared out by loudspeaker.
Many went to stay with friends while others were put up in a nearby school where Red Cross volunteers tried to make them comfortable.
Further experts were being brought to the site on Tuesday, and are expected to create a controlled explosion at some time in the evening. A large timber shell filled with straw and sand was being built around the bomb on Tuesday morning to catch shrapnel and muffle the shock wave.

I don’t want to go down to the place and wait at the reception just to get my child into the trial class. I want to arrange it all before I even call there. Actually, I do not like to call anymore also as no one is usually picking up the phones.

The U.S. Attorney in Cleveland recently announced charges against eight men accused of smuggling “large amounts” of drugs from Mexico to the U.S. These particular entrepreneurs were captured as a result of an investigation by the Northern Ohio Law Enforcement Task Force and the Department of Homeland Security.
But in many other cases, big and small-time dealers alike are busted not by wiretaps and informants, but by burned-out taillights and loud mufflers. Everyday, police pull people over for minor traffic violations and make arrests for crimes they never expected. Oftentimes, a suspect will consent to a search of his vehicle, despite the fact that it contains one hundred pounds of cocaine.
The point is, no matter how well you may be driving, a busted light anywhere on your car is enough to justify a stop of your vehicle. Depending on what happens next, you could find yourself in a jail cell very quickly. Change your taillights often and call my office if you’ve been charged with a crime. |

I am a retired Chartered Management Accountant, with over forty years experience in manufacturing industry, with large and small companies. I was the controller in the UK operations of two large multinational companies and then, initially at the request of the Welsh Office, I took on the role of consultant to small and medium-sized companies throughout Wales.
Now I build websites, mainly for local businesses, where the environment has changed drastically over the last few years, not only because of the economic turmoil that has followed the credit crunch. Internet technology and changing social habits have altered the marketplace for local businesses.
So, why the drastic change in focus? you may ask. Three reasons:
There is a crying need for many small businesses to realise the opportunities presented by the internet. According to the Federation of Small Businesses, "no more than half of Britain's small to medium-sized businesses have a web presence."
There is an opportunity to work with many different individuals, in a variety of situations.
It's Fun!

I’m really blown away by the response I’ve had today to launching this new blog, thank you all of you who are brave enough to follow me down what might possibly be a slippery path! It sort of feels liberating to be my normal humorous yet deep thinking self, the two mindsets I find work rather harmoniously. Funny but deep, yeah, that’s me.
I often find that people just don’t get me, unsure of how to categorise me. The truth is I have many strings to my bow, I am a lot of things and I have a lot of interests and skills. You can do a lot in 39 years, well almost 39!
What I do have is an unwavering passion for writing. I love using words and language, stretching it so that it does interesting things, and watching how it paints beautiful pictures and affects those that read it, including myself. For me, language is so much more than just words on a page or screen, or sound being spoken. I am a Synaesthetic, meaning that letters, words, language, whether spoken or written have colour, dimension, sound (separate to the one I may be hearing), smell, texture. Something to do with my neural pathways not having separated as is ‘usually’ the case with many people during childhood (and I generalise loosely here!), so that all of my senses are interconnected i.e. Synaesthesia. As a child I really just assumed that everybody saw the world in this way. But I guess not. In fact, other than my brother, I had never met another Synaesthetic in all of my 38 and a half years until two months ago!
Of course my interpretation of language is not the only thing that is affected by my Synaesthesia, everything is. It forms the backbone of everything I do, from being a writer, to being an artist, musician, and intuitive/empath. It is very much linked to my gut feeling, and my intuition. Things have to feel right before I proceed, particularly with creative projects. When I was younger and less aware of myself and my abilities having to get things right caused a real issue, and for years I was given to unbridled procrastination. Never getting anything done because something wasn’t quite right!
With time and age and a lot of honing I now trust that there is an abundance of creativity within me and so anything I do I know will be of value and of a certain standard. When I was younger I just didn’t trust in what I could already do, nor did I have the physical skills or the muscle memory to actualise it.
In fact I can even see physical ailments in people, with a little focus. It appears as a colour or colours that I can then interpret. Although I’m not a skilled physician, and I deal mainly with my own family’s muscular and joint complaints. In my twenties I ran an experiment with playing cards, as many of us do invariably if we have an interest in ESP and all that malarkey, and I realised that through my ability to interpret things as colours, I could tell what colour the suit of a card was if it was facedown. It just looked different, with the black suits appearing to have depth, and the red being much more prominent. Not always foolproof, but it has given me the advantage in many a card game – I found it works with dominoes too (in terms of the number of dots on the tile)!
I never liked the term psychic to explain what I was able to perceive, because as far as I was concerned it was not anything out of the ordinary, or necessarily paranormal, it was just something I could do and furthermore, no-one ever told me any different. My family was far too busy with their own lives to even notice. Lucky me I suppose, although that’s a double-edged sword if ever there was one.
Do please your comments and any amusing anecdotes you might have about yourselves. Thanks for reading!
2 thoughts on “My Purple Orange in B flat”
Your diary entries reminds me of my son’s journey – from my perspective. What does a mother do when her 1st born comes home from school upset bc no one understands his jokes? Or calls her long distance from a relative’s home to tell about the troll invading his bedroom? Maybe your family did notice and didn’t know what to do? I learned to adjust to his gifts and am grateful that I was choosen to be his mother. Your post reflect your gifts beautifully. I look forward to reading more. Namaste
Thank you Dianne for your comments. What I realise is that as painful as being ‘different’ has been at points throughout my life, it is this ‘difference’ that has driven me to ask the questions I have, and to have had the pleasure of discovering facets of myself and other people that I could only dream possible as a child. My parents were and still are quite indifferent to who I am and my beliefs, insisting that their own are far superior, and I know that is in part to do with where they are on their own journeys in life. However, being the ‘black sheep’ of the family, and of the society I know suits me surprisingly well when I stop forgetting for a moment and remember what I know within me. I think your son is extremely fortunate to have you as his mother this time around. Blessings to you, and thank you for stopping by. |
The first ever London Challenge Poverty Week kicked off today with a summit exploring the strain on the capital's charities. Limits on funding and changes to the benefit system were among the topics discussed. New research suggests less than 20 percent of organisations had been able to meet demand for their services in the last year, with the majority expecting that to only get worse in future. |

My favorite biscuit recipe is from Cook’s Illustrated. It uses cream instead of butter, so there is no need drag out the food processor to cut cold butter in to the dough. I saw a recent episode of Cook’s Country where they use cold buttermilk and melted butter to emulate the streaks of butter for flakiness. It was super simple to put together and hot out of the oven they were tender and delicious, however I didn’t get the height that they seemed to on the show. Maybe it’s time of a new can of baking powder?. |
