Last week I was in the local college cafeteria and struck up a "conversation" with a student. He was telling me about choosing a major.
"So the padre wants me to be a doctor. Chem? O-M-G. I mean I was like freaking! I literally had to take a moment, ya' know? OK, so I met this dude and him and me connected! I'm so over medicine. He gave me this awesome idea – to major in English."
"He gave me this totally awesome idea -- major in English."
"Later," he added, leaving with his Smoothie. What "later?" I missed out on the present.
This week I found myself e-mailing a young client who "lol's" and "IMHOs" a lot. When I re-read it, to my horror, noticed I wrote "kewl" and "totally" twice, then inserted three Smiley faces, and used :) or): seven times. I have no idea if they mean happy, sad, laughing, screaming, yet here I was "talking" tweenie-toon 'n text.
True, each generation undergoes a period of linguistic rebellion that fortunately fades around the legal drinking age (to help us forget "groovy," "splitsville," "Daddy-O!" and 23 skidoo"). And true, some of these words have remained with us. But today, in our attention deficit digital world, are 80 million "millennials" or Gen-Yers attempting to add new concepts to the lexicon? No. Their entire mission is to a: shorten, b) lengthen to buy time to shorten, c) create hysteria to make themselves reality-TV-worthy. In this new short-speak who has time to say a whole word, or think of more than three adjectives? I mean, really, did Elizabeth B. Browning need to count like, all the ways she "Loved Thee" when she could've written: "UR Awesome?"
I'm offended. Yes, I'm offended as an American, as a writer, and mostly as a literate Boomer, who thought I was suffering from a small aneurism when I accidentally tuned in to Snooki on Jersey Shore. For those similarly offended, I bring you …
Fillers, head-splitters, or "so nu, say something nu already! Nu?"
Joining the always fascinating " …ummmm" and "uhhh ..." which have no place in a sentence unless you're conducting a séance or in the lotus position, the millennials have created new ways to say absolutely nothing … repeatedly.
Most likely to make you dizzy: They were like at my door and said, 'like … wanna hang' and … well, so I was … like 'Ya' know … I mean … UGH! … So anyways …
Unless of course there's an impediment involved, this selective verbal tourette is catching and capable of creating seizures in the listener.
Adjverbs & "Nounsense" Anyone?
Wordsmiths have played with parts of speech with "amazing" results. Dr. Seuss alone created a generation of creative grammarians who have managed to Hyper-size, thereby elevating the simplest feeling to "diva-worthy."
*"Those jeans are awesome! Amazing!" The discovery of Black Holes was amazing, awesome. The discovery of designer holes in your black jeans – not.
*"I am soo done with/soo over her." This redundancy suggests you're soo not done that it will take another 17 "soo overs" till it's "soo done."
*"When he asked me out I actually/literally died." In which case, you'll be a cheap date. Literally.
* "Dude, that was one fierce mint." Unless it was made of plutonium, "minty" (along with anything that doesn't involve tigers or a tsunami) isn't mighty, and you're a wuss.
*"I'll sooo freak out if I can't get those Nike Air Force 1's!" If the inability to afford Presidential plane sneakers is a "bummer" capable of sending tweenies spewing pea soup, their parents should be "freaking."
*"That hair cut makes you look totally amazing. All you need is Acne-Be-Gone, and a retainer to look awesome, totally." May I suggest the new term for the not totally "totally" be "wholly totally."
*"Stop Barack-ing." "He's totally Mubarak-ing." Turning VIPPYS into "adjverbs" may be kewl, assuming you read enough news to know who you're talking about with whom, which you don't if you're busy turning people into parts of speech.
The millennials have shown genius in creating sarcastic speedy "nasty-isms." My pick for the four most obnoxious:
"Ya' think …?" "Hel-o-oooo?!" "Duh!" "Whatever."
Translation: "You're wayyy too stupid to live."
"Whatever" (whateva) has achieved the rarefied status of being the most noxious in some polls. If you're too stupid to live, they're too stupid to care.
"We got bin Laden!"
"I need brain surgery."
"Your girlfriend's chatting on "Singles & Looking."
" DUH! Whatever."
Teeth Grinders: The Pompous, Ponderous, Platitudes
Not all ear-bleeders are caused or used by Gen-Yers. Here is my list of the totally annoying we hear from news people and colleagues.
*"It is what it is." Mamalas you're no Gertrude Stein.
* "Closure." Achieved only when they lower the coffin.
* "Toxic" If people are – pui-- poisoning you? Move!
* "Agree to Disagree" He's an idiot altogether.
* "The Bottom Line" You couldn't have started at the top?
* "Going Forward …" And I was looking to go backwards?
* "Think Outside the Box" Why were you inside a furshlugginer box in the first place!?
* "Empowered" Head straight to OA (Oprah Anonymous). It's the highest rated show on OWN – after the "empowerment" of Fergie and the O'Neals.
So…my solution to this hideous lingo butchering is simple. Say it right in English, and for those "opinion" moments, say it in Yiddish. Yes! Every word, every expression in glorious Mama-loshen is a thesaurus!
All you have to know are: "Oy," "oy-oy-oy," "Ai-ai-ai!" "Aha!" and "Hoo ha!"
"When he asked me out I literally died" "Ai ai ai!"
"That dude is so kewl." "Hoo ha!"
"You threw me under the bus" "Aha!"
"I am sooo freaked." "Oy-oy-oy!!!!"
That's it. We Jews may not be big "hummers or mumblers" but passion? Making a magnificent tsimmis over everything from a good flanken to a bad one, is a linguistic specialty. And with a little inflection and fine-tuning, you can make Yiddish-speak suitable to all occasions!

Disability Insurance
The time to prepare for a disability is before it occurs. At First Hawaiian Bank, our wealth advisors will help you prepare for unforeseen events by developing a comprehensive financial plan to protect you and your loved ones. Depending on your needs, this plan may include an appropriate amount of disability insurance to ensure that you can enjoy your standard of living even if you are no longer able to work.
According to the National Safety Council, a disabling injury occurs every second and almost 90 percent of disabling accidents and illnesses are not work related. If you have proper health insurance, it should cover the majority of your medical costs, but it won't replace lost income.
If a disability prevents you from working, your personal savings can be quickly depleted. Disability Insurance is designed to replace wages lost due to sickness or injury, and it is the best way to protect against financial catastrophe.
Disability policies are written to cover either a short-term disability with benefits paid for no more than two years, or a long-term event that pays benefits for the rest of your life. Waiting periods range from as little as 0-14 days to several weeks or several months.
Our wealth advisors work with insurance specialists to help you select a policy that meets your needs as well as your overall financial plan. We help you prepare for the unexpected so you can enjoy all the comforts and quality that you've long planned for and well deserve in your retirement.
For more information, call us at (877) 643-4344 or visit any conveniently located First Hawaiian Bank branch and ask to speak to a Wealth Advisor.

Sandberg to working women: 'Lean in' to your ambitions
SAN FRANCISCO >> Even after writing a best-selling book that urges women to "lean in" to their careers, Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg says she's still sometimes surprised to find she doesn't have the same confidence that men bring to leadership roles.
Sandberg, who is one of the most powerful women in Silicon Valley, told a tech audience Wednesday night about a project meeting at Facebook earlier this year, where she opened the meeting by saying she was grateful the company had finally decided to pursue an idea she had long championed. A male manager who also supported the idea was more brash, saying he always knew the others would see the light.
"Despite having written the book, despite having whatever success I've had, I sit here not having the self-confidence that he had," Sandberg said during an onstage conversation at the Dreamforce trade show, organized by business software company Salesforce.com.
Sandberg offered the anecdote to show the different attitudes men and women bring to their careers - largely, she said, as a result of social conditioning that encourages men to be assertive and reach for opportunities, while women hold back for fear of being viewed as too aggressive or bossy.
"We know men get promoted on potential while women get promoted on what they've already accomplished," she said, citing statistics that show women continue to lag men in promotions and wages.
It's familiar ground for Sandberg, the chief operating officer at Facebook, who has maintained a steady pace of speaking events since March to promote her book, "Lean In." While she urges male executives to mentor women and give them more opportunities, Sandberg contends women can help overcome gender bias by putting themselves forward and not being shy about pursuing career advancement.
"I believe that if we had more women at the table where decisions were made, we'd make better decisions," she said. She noted that the recent congressional budget impasse, which she called "terrible for the economy and the country," ended after a group led by female Senators forged an agreement.
During her talk, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff alluded to speculation about Sandberg's future, as a high-profile executive and former U.S. Treasury Dept. official who's sometimes mentioned as a potential political candidate. Sandberg didn't answer when Benioff asked about her plans for 2016. While she hasn't discouraged such talk, she has said she's focused on her current job.

Karis Walborn netted her 28th goal of the season, Thursday, setting a new Liberty single-season scoring record.
Playing its final home game and National Lacrosse Conference (NLC) game of the season, the Liberty women's lacrosse team hosted Longwood, Thursday afternoon. Unfortunately for the Lady Flames, the two-time defending NLC champions left Osborne Stadium as the victors, taking the contest, 18-10.
Liberty falls to 5-10 overall and closes out conference play with a 2-5 record. Longwood improves to 8-8 on the year and finishes league action with a 5-2 posting.
Kelsey Dean and Lauren Prasnicki led the Lancers with four goals, apiece. Jen Freymond paced Liberty with three goals, followed by Karis Walborn (2), Kristin Crowley (2), Annessa Jamison (1) Chloe McIntosh (1) and Jen Moyer (1).
With her pair of tallies, Walborn concluded the contest with 28 goals on the year, setting a new single-season scoring record. Walborn's scoring total surpasses the previous record of 27 set last season by Crowley.
All three of Freymond's markers came thanks to assists from Moyer, who finished with four helpers in the contest, setting a new Liberty single-game assist record. Moyer's four-assist effort bested the previous mark set by Freymond on April 5 versus Erskine.
Longwood fired off two goals in the opening 2:23 to take an early lead. Walborn tied the single-season scoring record 20 ticks later, finishing on a pass from Moyer to make it 2-1.
After two more Longwood markers, Crowley found the net at 14:56 for her 26th tally of the season. The junior captain's unassisted goal put Liberty within two, 4-2.
The two-goal trend continued, as the Lancers answered with another pair of goals in a span of 4:30 to up its advantage to four. Following nearly four minutes of scoreless action, Moyer found Freymond, who fired a shot past the Longwood goalkeeper to cut the deficit to three, 6-3, at 5:40.
Keeping with tradition, the visiting Lancers posted one last set of back-to-back goals over the next 1:36 to take a five-goal lead. Jamison closed out the period for the Liberty offense with an unassisted goal at 3:01, giving way to a halftime score of 8-4.
In the second half, neither team scored for nearly four minutes, until Longwood's Jamie Brentlinger found an open Amanda Bereznay, who finished on the play for the Lancers' ninth goal of the contest at 26:02.
Just before the 20-minute mark, Moyer fed a pass to Freymond, who capitalized on the Jen-to-Jen connection, putting Liberty back within four, 9-5.
Longwood responded with four-straight tallies over the next 5:12 to take a commanding eight-goal lead. McIntosh broke up the burst on a free position shot at 10:17, sinking her first goal of the season. The eight-meter marker gave the Dallas native her first goal since Liberty's 2010 season finale against Howard in the NLC Tournament on May 1.
After another Lancer tally allowed the visitors to reclaim their eight-goal advantage, Liberty answered with back-to-back goals from Crowley and Walborn, respectively, cutting the bulge to 14-8. Walborn's record-breaking goal occurred courtesy of a Jamison assist at 6:28, giving Liberty's leading scorer 28 markers on the season.
Longwood countered Liberty's two-straight goals with three of their own over the next 3:50. Freymond posted her third goal of the contest thanks to Moyer's fourth assist on the day at 2:29. Following the Lancers' final tally 33 ticks later, Moyer closed out the Lady Flames' scoring with 52 seconds remaining en route to the 18-10 final.
Juli Liebig played the entire 60 minutes for the Lancers, making seven saves. Kristen Masullo remained in the net for Liberty for 54:24, finishing with 11 saves. Blaire Barnhart came in the final 5:36, recording one stop.
Liberty heads to Banner Elk, N.C. on Saturday to take on Lees-McRae. The opening draw is set for 2 p.m.

It only has 2 HDMI inputs- V 1.3, but for 649 it looks to be a great deal, this unit is said to be the same(for all intents and purposes) as the Denon 2808.
If you need more inputs, a switch isn't that costly.
It Decodes DTS-MA and Dolby Tru-HD (for BD players that Bitstream), and has Pre-amp outs, which folks with outboard amps will want to use.
I'm REALLY considering picking one of these up to use as a Pre/Pro and retiring my Non-HDMI Boston Acoustics AVP7 (AKA Sherwood Newcastle P-965).

I haven't done a good job with my scientific method, so I can't definitively tell you which of these things DEFINITELY WORKS AND IS WORTH IT, but I can tell you that all of these things, in concert, give me nice skin and whatever.
Actually, no.
Some of it definitely works best of all. But some of it I just really THINK works.
I have extremely, obnoxiously sensitive skin, I'm very pale, I tend to break out if I use anything weird, and get dry and flaky if I don't tend to my skin at all, or some unflattering combination of the two. I've reached the fancy age of 30, where I've started to notice my fine lines and under eye circles.
For some things I find spending the extra money worth it, for others I find that I actually PREFER the drugstore brand.
|Sephora Precision Pore Cleansing Pad, $5
|Sephora Brush Wand, $12
I love it.
It hits all the eye makeup needs I want filled, and I actually PREFER the crease and smudge brushes here to some of my full sized ones. I keep it in my pencil case in my purse. It's only $12. Most of my single brushes cost way more than that.
|Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, $11.49 for the giant size
|Tarte EmphasEYES Inner Rim Brightener, $19
|Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector, $39.50
|Smashbox O-GLOW Intuitive Cheek Color, $26
|Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, $15
|Clearsil Ultra Rapid Action Vanishing Treatment Cream, $7.99
|The Supernatural, $30
Don't feel like finding pictures for:
Jojoba Oil (I buy mine from Trader Joe's for like $7ish I think?). I use this for my makeup remover, by putting it on a cotton pad and rubbing down my eyes and face. It feels weird to swab oil all over your face, but I find the dirt and makeup removal to be EXTREMELY satisfying, and (mind, I follow this with washing my face (Cetaphil, above)) it doesn't make me break out. And I am prone to breakouts. I also find that some eye makeup removers irritate my eyes, and this does not. And I just like it.
Coconut Oil (I buy this from Trader Joe's too, but they sell it in the food section). I use this for my eye cream. It feels nice, it smells nice, it works, it's cheap, most eye creams make my skin hurt, especially if they are meant to 'do' something.
I have also had many tried and failed 'I don't think this works that well don't buy it' experimental purchases I've made and samples that I've tried, but I'm bored of this, so I'll save that for another time.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
The mockumentary is a tricky thing, not to be attempted by amateurs -- many of whom treat the form like a joke without need of a punch line. Damn the filmmaker who thinks it clever and ironic enough to "interview" "real people" "talking" about other "real people" who, of course, don't exist except inside the cluttered, shuttered mind of a moviemaker who couldn't figure out how to fit his fiction inside the framework of a real narrative, which would take actual work. Worse, the mock doc, when done wrong, always comes out the same, loathing the nobody next door whose idiosyncrasies are exaggerated into freak-show proportions. They're not "mock" because they're phony docs; they're mock because that's precisely what they do -- poke fun at characters the filmmakers hold in contempt, which is a lousy reason to make a movie in the first place. For every Chris Guest movie, for every Bob Roberts, there's a Lisa Picard Is Famous or Burn, Hollywood, Burn or The Big Tease out there waiting to beat you to death with quotation marks.
So why, then, does writer-director Michael Dowse's It's All Gone Pete Tong work so wonderfully, when it's a work of fiction positing itself as a true-story biography of a legendary Ibiza-based DJ named Frankie Wilde, who goes deaf from too much noise and drugs? It arrives complete with talking-head testimonials from the likes of Paul van Dyk, Carl Cox, Lol Hammond, Pete Tong, and other real-life record-spinners who tout Wilde as a reclusive legend and troubled pioneer. ("He's a showman as much as he is a musician," says Tong, his face as straight as the razor Wilde uses to cut his coke.) Interspersed with their accolades are other tales told by phony folks: the record-label boss who says he's "done harder things than drop a deaf DJ," the biographer who explains in a scholarly deadpan how Frankie lost his hearing ("years and years of noise was the basis of his problem," duh), the manager who rambles on about a dream in which he sucks himself off. The only thing missing is the amplifier that goes to 11 (though there's even a subtle nod to that).
It's All Gone Pete Tong -- slang among Cockney ravers for "It's all gone wrong," or so claim the facetious press notes in which nothing's to be believed (or dismissed) -- succeeds primarily because it loves its subject, played with bright eyes and a big heart by British comic-turned-actor Paul Kaye, whose BBC character Dennis Pennis hassled celebrities years before Sasha Cohen, as Ali G, made his f'real fortune. Kaye, looking like Ralph Fiennes with a mouth full of Shane MacGowan's teeth, begins the movie as a caricature of the DJ scene -- a chain-smoking, coke-snorting, scotch-swilling, scrawny twerp who considers himself "the Imelda Marcos of the flip-flop world." He's a narcissistic ass, capable of sending a crowd of thousands into an ecstatic frenzy at the drop of a needle, but incapable of feeling anything more than the urgent need to fuck the fleshpot pile of tits and thongs secured for him by his American manager Max (Mike Wilmot).
Dowse introduces us to Frankie at the peak of his fame and powers: He's seen in the opening credits descending from the heavens into a throng of sweaty Ibiza partygoers, a crown of thorns atop his head. We meet his model wife Sonya (Kate Magowan), whom Frankie met while making the ridiculous video screened almost in its entirety. They're the kind of couple who smoke while they play tennis, who come up with half-assed ideas they consider brilliant (he wants to market his own line of hummus; she thinks he ought to call his next record Frankie Hummus), who share lovers in front of one another. He's perched high atop Glowstick Mountain, from which the fall is quick and brutal: One minute he's watching a football match on the telly, the next he can hear only the ringing in the ears that precedes his going totally, maddeningly deaf. He proceeds to go slightly insane, believing that "total silence" will cure his condition. Frankie, too, is visited often by the Coke Badger, a giant drooling creature that bleeds white powder.
What could have been a daft, sick joke -- the equivalent of Spinal Tap's drummer exploding onstage -- becomes a sweet and comic love story, as Frankie, shaggy and self-loathing, emerges from his year-long funk to find a woman who teaches him to lip-read (Beatriz Batarda) and helps him discover ways to feel and see sound. (This involves strapping on speakers with flip-flops attached to the top, so Frankie can feel the music through his gnarled toes.) He finally finishes his new record, only to see his work exploited by Max and the label, who want to make him an idol to the deaf kids screaming for one (only nobody can hear them, hahahaha). But Frankie is too grown up now for such garish nonsense; the boy, in his late 30s, at last becomes a man -- an apt metaphor for a club scene built on the idea of eternal youth, at least till the sun comes up and the drugs wear off. He will disappear again -- to where and to what, we're meant to have no idea. But the movie leaves us with a broad, genuine smile, not the smirk born of so many mockumentaries. This is phony, absolutely, but the good feeling it leaves behind is plenty real.

Very recently, there's been a whole lot of hoopla about Herman Cain's alleged sexual-inappropriateness, which he now has to answer for. However, he's thus denied any & all accounts of sexual-misconduct. But, enough about that, let's get to the nitty-gritty of this issue & and that is this:
People are becoming less concerned with a person's moral-character, and more concerned with how a politician functions in office. Well, having considerable moral-character should/would in fact reflect in the policies that a person in the highest political office in the U.S. supports & executes, I would assume naturally.
Yet, morality is something that the U.S., along with our general global society is losing more & more by the day. You can go back as far as Thomas Jefferson, whom authored the Declaration of Independence, who was a known womanizer, and fathered several children out of wedlock with his slave, Sally Hemings. This was in fact acceptable, because at this time in American history, African slaves weren't even regarded as complete Human beings. We can also look into the 1960's, where President John F. Kennedy outlandishly cheated on his wife, in public at that, with no discretion what so ever on his part.
We can also reflect upon even the life of the Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, whose sexscapades have become a legendary testament of how sexual-corruption has left a permanent stain on all levels of the U.S. Federal government. Then, possibly the most famous of them all is Bill Clinton, who initially denied any & all allegations that he had any sexual-contact with Monica Lewinski. But, as a result of being placed under the threat being prosecuted for purgery, as well as Presidential-Impeachment, finally fessed up to not only having an official relationship with her, about also to receiving the most famous blowjob in the U.S. of U.S. politics. And, then, we all remember the recent revelations of former U.S. Senator John Edwards, who ran for President in 2004 & ended up being John Kerry's running mate against George W. Bush, then again in 2008, which he ended up having to bow-out of the Presidential race, cheated on his cancer-stricken wife, while actually running for President.
Next, even more recent, we have the infidelity fiascoes that have brought down former Governors James McGreevey of New Jersey & Elliot Spitzer of New York. And, then, not too long ago, there was Anthony Weiner, who just couldn't keep his wiener off of the internet, who completely embarrassed himself, and his family, and for what?!!! Now, as recent as this year, we have an aspiring contender for the seat in the Oval Office, caught up in a sex-scandal. Herman Cain, presumably, the Barack Obama of the Republican Party, has just been red-flagged amid recent allegations of sexual-misconduct. I don't know whether something like this will ruin his chance of going toe-to-toe with Obama, for the 2012 election, but it still looks really bad-Please, keep in mind that these guys who've been caught up in these scandals are not just some run of the mill politicians here, these are big-leaguers, whom have enacted & supported relevant governmental policies in their respective realms of public service, which have affected & still affects our lives as U.S. citizens.
I have the following to ask all of you: If you have individuals, like these politicians, who have been implicated/involved in various sex-scandals and/or confirmed to play significant parts in these scandals, willingly betraying their respective spouses & then lying about their wrongs when called to task for honesty, then what should make us, as U.S. citizens, think that that these same politicians would be loyal to us, as their political constituents, as we place our general trust in them to conduct honest affairs of state-How can these people be trusted with the general welfare of this nation, when they can't even keep their penises in their pants?!!!
Think about this, people!!!
#I'm just sayin"!!!

Equity futures are down this morning, with the DOW and S&P futures down more than the NDX and RUT:
Note in the /ES chart on the right that I drew a line at what appears to be a small neckline of H&S pattern that's worth about 8 points or so. If prices drop below that neckline I would target about 1,060. The 1,070 area is acting like support… 1,061 is the current support pivot and 1,090 is overhead.
The dollar dipped below 76 this morning but bounced back above once again and is currently at 76.16. It keeps knocking on that 76 door, if it stays down here long enough eventually it will break through. Gold ran up to 1,069 overnight before pulling back a little. Oil is also higher, reaching $74 a barrel. Bonds are also higher.
Meredith Whitney downgraded Goldman giving it about a $4 per share hit and the XLF a bit of a bruising as well.
Johnson & Johnson missed on Revenues, be nimble as there are a lot more earnings coming out this week.
The Redbook reported a yoy increase in chain store sales of .6% for the previous week. Sorry, but I just don't believe this report even though the year over year comparison is now much easier than before. Sales tax revenues are way down, I call B.S., and again will point to substitution bias.
Once again there are many Treasury auctions this afternoon, we'll keep an eye on those. Tomorrow we'll see Retail Sales, Purchase Applications, Import and Export Prices, Inventories, and we'll get to peak at the FOMC minutes, something that the investment community gives far too much credence in my opinion.
There was yet another small movement in the McClelland Oscillator yesterday, meaning that the spring is being wound to produce a large directional move. McHugh's count is still saying that the final wave up is not over, so any correction in here, unless it's quite large, is likely just a subwave on the way up.
We did make a new high in the Industrials yesterday without making a new high in the Transports. That sets up the possibility of a DOW Theory non-confirmation should the turn occur prior to the Transports making a new high. I would expect something like that as wave C begins, to go along with all the other divergences that are occurring right now.
Below is a daily chart of the DOW. Note the declining volume, and even lower yesterday. This volume for September and October so far are RECORD low volumes for modern history. That's a pretty big clue, its a screaming divergence from price.
You can also see that the daily Stochastic is overbought once again, and that yesterday's candle could be a top indication. If prices decline below the level of yesterday's low, then it may indeed be at least a short term top, and McHugh is open to wave B being complete, but we would both expect that wave C would likely begin with a pretty good down movement and we just haven't seen that yet, obviously. The 60 minute stochs are sitting on a fresh sell while the 30 and 10 are sitting on a buy…

El Angel Azul Hacienda
A serene hotel just 10 minutes walk from the La Paz seafront with a beautifully designed garden enclosed within a peaceful courtyard.
Step off the plane at La Paz airport and you are in the hot heart of a dusty Western... the surrounding landscape is desert, the sun beats down mercilessly on the cowering buildings, and in summer the streets of the town are deserted. But just off the Avenida Independencia is a heavenly haven from this scorching setting: El Angel Azul Hacienda ("The Blue Angel"). Discernible only by a blue sign and door set in bleached white walls, this stylish hotel was a former courthouse that had lain empty for 20 years.
Scrupulously restored by the current owner, Swiss-born Esther Ammann, it has a tranquil and relaxed atmosphere, with rooms facing the cacti-filled courtyard under shaded colonnades. With shrines, sculptures, paintings, even an ensenada (clay 'day of the dead' skeleton) dotted about the garden, it feels more like staying in the villa of an arty friend. Esther has turned a shell into a local landmark and is definitely a cool host who knows how to stay cool in a hot town.
Baja California Sur
The Baja California peninsula extends 1,100 km from the U.S. border to the southern tip. Its widest point is approx. 230 km. Most of it is separated from mainland Mexico by the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California). It has a long, varied coastline on both sides.
The Baja features four major mountain ranges: Sierra Juarez, Sierra de San Pedro Martir, Sierra de la Giganta, Sierra de la Laguna, and many minor ranges. Much of Baja California is desert or mountains with beautiful beaches.

Daniel Radcliffe cannot seem to get away from those angry supernatural spirits.
Now that he's filmed his final scenes with arch-enemy Voldemort in the "Harry Potter" series, Radcliffe will prepare to do battle with an angry ghost in the movie version of "The Woman in Black," according to a release from the production company.
Radcliffe will play Arthur Kipps, who is ordered to travel to a remote corner of the UK and sort out a recently deceased client's papers. As in all great movies in remote corners of the UK, the place is haunted and Kipps finds the local village is held hostage by the ghost of a scorned woman bent on vengeance. Production is expected to begin in the fall.
The movie is based on a 1983 thriller fiction novel and has been adapted to a now classic play which has played on London's West End since 1989. The story will get a kick from screenwriter Jane Goldman ("Kick Ass") and the film will be directed by James Watkins ("Eden Lake").
Watkins promised "a classy ghost story that tugs at the heart and chills to the bone." Radcliffe will be a key factor in the first two major factors of this promise, the ghost will have to handle the third.
Not to worry, Radcliffe will continue to move out of the spirit world. He is set to hit Broadway in "How to Succeed in Business Without Even Trying" in spring of 2011.

North Dakota hunters are reminded that several national wildlife refuges open to late-season upland game bird hunting the day after the deer gun season closes.
Arrowwood, Audubon, Des Lacs, J. Clark Salyer, Lake Alice, Lake Zahl, Long Lake, Lostwood, Tewaukon (pheasants only), and Upper Souris NWRs open Nov. 21.
However, portions of each refuge are closed to hunting. Hunters should contact refuge headquarters for map leaflets designating closed areas and other restrictions: Arrowwood (701) 285-3341; Audubon (701) 442-5474; Des Lacs (701) 385-4046; J.

Welcome to the race results section for the 2020-2021 season.
Race results are posted here after each race weekend,
along with continuously updated
season standings,
throughout the season.
Results are posted as quickly as possible,
usually by Sunday evening or Monday morning.
We do occasionally have delays getting results data from race organizers,
however, so if the results are sometimes delayed please be patient!
Click on a document icon in the table below to view a race results report.
Race Details are posted when there are photos or related news about the race available
Click here for details on this season's Special Events.
The Viva Italia Cup is sponsored by John Gianotti each year at the Heavenly Valley SL weekend.
The coveted Viva Italia Cup is awarded to the
top man and women racer in the overall standings of the first race
using an age handicapping formula which knocks off a percentage of the racer's
time as their age class increases. Racers of all ages have won under this formula over the years
and the special trophy and a great post-race party make this event a highlight of the race season.

The Bernard Cup is sponsored by Bob Bernard each year at the Squaw Valley race weekend.
Bob played a key role in growth of masters ski racing in the 1980's and 1990's and created the
"Bernard Cup" age handicapping system to provide a way to recognize outstanding skiing
across the entire wide spectrum of masters age classes.
The Bernard Cup, awarded to the
top man and women racer in the overall standings of the race weekend
is one of the most challenging races on our Far West calendar and has been won by outstanding racers of all ages.

The McKinney Cup is sponsored by Tamara McKinney in memory of members of her family,
Steve, McLane, and Frances McKinney. The McKinney family started out skiing in Far West
at Mt. Rose and became one of the most memorable ski racing families ever,
higlighted by the success of Tamara and her World Cup accomplishments.
The McKinney Cup is a perpetual trophy on display over the mantle of the fireplace in the
Mt. Rose lodge.
As with the traditional Mt. Rose Silver Dollar Derby which it succeeds,
the McKinney Cup is awarded to the
man and woman racer with the fastest total time
for the entire weekend.

viewtopic.php?f=21&t=17887&p=235907&hil ... ul#p235907" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;And do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, if they desire chastity, to seek [thereby] the temporary interests of worldly life. And if someone should compel them, then indeed, Allah is [to them], after their compulsion, Forgiving and Merciful.
When supposedly a Westerner of emigrated Greek ancestry with the nick Osmanthus asked another supposedly emigrated Greek forummer with the nick hrdgrk as to why a Turkish captured Greek Orthodox Christian woman of the harem must kill herself,hrdgrk perhaps reiterated once again that instead of becoming a Turkish slave,the Greek woman should kill herself.It is also true that there existed medieval Greek women jumped down cliffs and committed suicide rather than fall into the hands of muslim Turks.
Now I did not understand the logic perfectly back then,but after seeing it in the light of what Yohan said I got the point.Yohan who possibly is pastor K.P.Yohanan of the gospel for Asia said that he did not like Urdu,the language of a vast majority of subcontinental muslims as it is a bastard language.Now Urdu literally means 'camp' in Turkish and it denotes its place of birth which is where the victorious Turks sired their offspring with captured Hindu women who did not commit either Jauhar or Suttee when granted 'free will'.
Now yeezevee,a Bengali foummer whom one of old Hindu forummers named Kaisys called a traitor for having converted to Christianity said that if allowed a free rein,the Pakistanis who are Arabian bastardised subcontinentals would bastardise the whole world.
Now while even well before Islamic invasions,Hinduwomen such as Vasavi who refused to submit to the will of their fellow rulers and committed suicide were deified,even after Islam arrived such phenomenon continued in the form of Reddamma of Rayalaseema region in present day Andhra Pradesh.Another Gujarati woman was also deified for committing suicide instead of falling into the hands of rival Hindu king.Now Madhu Kishwar a supposed Hindutva woman in India supposedly defended the rights of people who worship Suttee stones erected in remembrance of those who committed suicides.I also remember a friend from Telangana say about how his male ancestors got killed while trying to defend the chastity of their women.Also in coastal Andhra it is the custom to get most people married during nights just like in case of North India in order to avoid the supposed habit of bride catching on horsebacks practiced in medieval periods.
http://koenraadelst.bharatvani.org/book ... nd/ch2.htmA left-over from this period is the North-Indian custom of celebrating weddings at midnight: this was a safety measure against the Islamic sport of bride-catching
However Osmania University ex-Professor/Professor Sri Kondaram of Telangana said once in a newspaper that the culture of Telangana in not a sishta culture or a culture of good people.Now possibly the most famous verse of the most famous Hindu modern religious book Bhagavad Geetha is Krishna saying that to protect the good(sishta rakshana) and to punish the wicked(dushta sikshana) he will take reincarnations in human flesh time and again.
I do know of a famous Telugu historian say that in his childhood,when the husband expired for a woman dear to them and who belonged to the caste of temple dancers,he asked her to remarry which is allowed in her caste ,yet she refused.Now in the osey Ramulamma Telugu film that was a resounding success at the box office,one of the famous dialogues of the heroine in a raped Dalit character was 'I do not know how many husbands your mother had,but for those of our last caste we have only one husband for life'.So essentially even if this was a punch dialogue that was not really in vogue ,it does show that perhaps such a behavior is indeed one of the characteristics of sishta culture.Perhaps those who do not follow such a line might be considered neutral if not outright dushta as had been exemplified in case of that woman of the caste of temple dancers called Devadasis or slaves of Gods of temples.
So perhaps these right hand possessions are already considered prostitutes by their erstwhile cultures if they refuse to commit suicides.

Jack and the Beanstalk
- $5.99
- $5.99
Publisher Description
Jack and his marvelous beanstalk made their first appearance in England in 1734—and for nearly three centuries the tale has continued to enchant children. After all, what could be more reassuring to a small child than the idea that even a little boy can outwit a scary giant?John Cech retells this popular story with humor and warmth, adding plenty of entertaining detail and bringing in some less familiar elements, too. (For example, when Jack escapes for the last time, the giant's wife comes along with him, and becomes his mother's good friend.) And Robert Mackenzie's art captures all the magic of the huge beanstalk and the giant's oversized world up in the clouds.

Melky expected to return soon
TORONTO -- Melky Cabrera is expected to return in the near future after appearing in his first game for Triple-A Buffalo on Friday night.
Cabrera began his rehab assignment last week for Class A Dunedin and has since played three games for Double-A New Hampshire. He entered play on Friday hitting .294 (5-for-17) with one homer and two RBIs in five rehab games.
The 28-year-old has been out since June 28 with left knee tendinitis, but discomfort in both of his legs has been a lingering problem since the season began. He might not get back to 100 percent this season, but there has been at least some improvement since being shut down.
"The reports I've gotten are that he's running better," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "I'm not sure if he's running like he used to, but definitely better."
The Blue Jays will face a tough roster decision when Cabrera is eventually activated from the 15-day disabled list. The club currently only has a three-man bench and it would seem unlikely that Emilio Bonifacio, Mark DeRosa or Josh Thole gets removed from the 25-man roster.
That will force the club to drop a reliever from its eight-man bullpen. Right-hander Neil Wagner has an option remaining on his contract and could be sent to Buffalo, but left-hander Juan Perez would have to pass through waivers before he is eligible for a Minor League assignment.
Complicating matters even more is that right-handed reliever Sergio Santos is also nearing a return. Santos struck out the side in his first appearance for Buffalo on Thursday night, but likely will need to work on back-to-back days for the Bisons before a promotion becomes a realistic possibility.
Santos would have to be activated from the disabled list before his potential 30-day rehab assignment comes to an end on Aug. 2. If the club opts to wait until then, it's possible a move at the non-waiver Trade Deadline would open up another spot on the roster.
"I'm not sure," Gibbons said when asked for Santos' timeline. "These guys here are all pitching good, so they've bought us some time. We want to make sure he's good and ready."

Akranes and
Fjölbrautaskóli Vesturlands á Akranesi
Akranes is a town on the west coast of Iceland about 45 kilometers north of Reykjavík, with approximately 7,400 inhabitants. Akranes was originally built by fishermen and fishing and fishing industries are still an important source of income and employment, but other industries also thrive. Right outside of town there is an aluminium plant and a ferro-silicon plant and Akranes boasts one of Iceland's largest shipyards. There is a hospital, shops, a cinema, as well as primary schools and kindergartens, a music school and a junior college, Fjölbrautaskóli Vesturlands á Akranesi. Akranes has two swimming pools and excellent sports facilities. Information about Akranes can be found on www.akranes.is
Fjölbrautaskóli Vesturlands á Akranesi
Fjölbrautaskóli Vesturlands á Akranesi (FVA) is a junior college that was established in 1977. It offers several fields of specialization, vocational and academic.
- The vocational courses offered by the school include business, carpentry, electricity, electronics, metalworking and nursing assistants. Most vocational fields take from 4 to 6 terms.
- The academic fields prepare students for matriculation examination (stúdentspróf). They are roughly comparable with a British 6th form college or the last two years of high school and junior colleges in the U.S.
The school-year is divided into two terms of 18 weeks and each course is covered in 3 weekly lessons: two of 55 minutes and one of 105 minutes. Each course normally carries five credits.The Icelandic matriculation examination (Stúdentspróf) qualifies for entrance to universities in Iceland and is recognized by European and North American universities. It requires 200 credits and takes the average student 6-8 terms to complete.
FVA is organized on a unit-credit basis and there are no classes of students. Before a new term begins the students choose what courses to take and each gets his or her own individual schedule.
- The students are about 500, most of them between 16 and 20 years old. About half of the students are pursuing academic studies and preparing for matriculation examination (stúdentspróf).
- The school employs about 50 teachers and about 20 non-teaching staff such as management, counselors, librarians, custodian, computer supervisor and office people.
- The school cooperates with similar schools in Selfoss (South Iceland) and Suðurnes (on Reykjanes peninsula).
- About 95% of the students come from West-Iceland, an area that has a population of about 15000 people. The school has a dormitory for students who live too far away to commute to Akranes.
Adult education
FVA takes an active part in The Center for Adult Education in west-Iceland. Courses are held in several places in West Iceland. In most of these places there are facilities for video conferences. The Center for Adult Education cooperates with Universities in Reykjavik and Akureyri that provide courses via video conferences as a part of their distance education programs. Information (in Icelandic) about The Center for Adult Education can be found on www.simenntun.is
Students with special needs
FVA serves all teenagers in West-Iceland and also provides for those who are mentally disabled. Their needs are different and some of them attend general classes along with their peers whereas others attend separate classes.
The students' society
Most students at FVA are members of NFFA, the students' society. It organizes social events and happenings and gives students at the school opportunities to meet, have fun and pursue their interests in sports and performing arts.

DOVER — Early Sunday evening, officials reported a power outage throughout the area of Dover and Somersworth affected hundreds of Public Service New Hampshire (PSNH) customers.
PSNH spokesman Martin Murray said the power outage as of 6:15 p.m. had left 1,300 customers without power. PSNH Spokeswoman Laura Brown confirmed in total, 1,400 customers were affected just before 7 p.m. The outage was attributed to an equipment failure, specifically to an insulator involved with the operating system, Brown said.
The outage was under control by around 6:50 p.m. Brown added power would return shortly to the area around that time with the first of the outages reported in the area just after 5 p.m.
"Many of our large customers are already back on and in service so we believe those outages will be cleared very shortly," Brown said.
Reports indicated at 6:30 p.m. police had worked to clear off entrances to businesses in the Weeks Crossing area at the Dover and Somersworth line, with a full blackout for that commercial area in effect.
Officials were working to direct traffic at the intersection off Route 9, as the traffic lights were without power along with the many local restaurants there.
A manager of the Chili's restaurant in Dover reported the outage was fairly minor and by 7 p.m., the restaurant was fully operating and already full with customers again.
The 99 Restaurant in Dover reported they were also back up and running just after 7 p.m. and they were only affected for about an hour.
A drizzle of rain had been experienced throughout the Garrison City earlier in the evening, though PSNH officials did not point to the weather as being a cause for the outage.
Power outage affects over 1g PSNH customers in Dover, Somersworth
DOVER — Early Sunday evening, officials reported a power outage throughout the area of Dover and Somersworth affected hundreds of Public Service New Hampshire (PSNH) customers.

Last fall, I received a half-dozen invitations to screenings of a "quirky" comedy about a "whip-smart" pregnant teen hipsterette who plans to give her baby up for adoption by an affluent couple. With my finger planted firmly nowhere near the pulse of popular opinion, I tossed each one out, thinking: "To listen to teens with attitude, for this I need to leave the house?"
So, in the wake of "Juno's" Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Director (Jason Reitman of "Thank You for Smoking"), Actress (petite 20-year-old Ellen Page), and Original Screenwriter ("Diablo Cody," which is the pole name of 29-year-old self-promoter Brook Busey, whose confessional blog became popular when she started working as a stripper), I ended up paying to see it.
Juno, a cute tomboy who dresses in flannel shirts like Nirvana's Kurt Cobain and has a snarky reference ready for every situation, turned out to be just as insufferable as I had expected. If she's so whip-smart, why'd she get so pregnant after one evening with a bright but baffled cross-country runner (the subversively blond and bland Michael Cera from "Superbad") with whom she says she's just friends?
Fortunately, my wife, who admired "Juno" greatly, patiently explained to me the film's considerable subtleties until even my clueless male brain could begin to grasp them.
First, though, let's dispose of the controversy over the purported politics of "Juno." Is Juno betraying feminism by choosing adoption over abortion? Sure. Yet, there's no mystery why Hollywood heroines (as in the recent "Knocked Up" and "Waitress") almost never have abortions: because babies are adorable and abortions are hideous. Nobody -- including, and perhaps especially, pro-choice ideologues -- wants to think visually about abortion.
Well, that doesn't tell you much about the movie, now does it? Funny how the excerpts I post usually seem to be like that. It's almost as if I want you to subscribe to the magazine, isn't it?

Jubilee Edition
-In the French jeweller's tradition, the new engraving, thinner thanks to an outline technique, decorates the bell and the bow, doubled on the ring by the original signature of the Founder.
- A new lacquer definition optimizes the quality of the play of light through shades of "gold" tone in the instrument's reflection.
- The neck key is redesigned through a lighter mechanism and subtly thinner outlines, thus becoming more elegant.
- In order to fulfil this new visual balance, the geometry of the "S" neck is imperceptibly modernized on a deep blue background even more recognizable.
- In keeping with a know-how of purely French manufacture, Selmer Paris signs its new "Series II" and "Series III" ranges with the seal of the essence of its difference.
Selmer Paris Saxophones

An age-old question among Christ followers revolves around… the lottery.
I know, don't you feel dirty reading that? And why? Because while you have been told gambling is a sin, you're all ridden with angst that you can't get some of that money.
No worries. I hate lotto players too.Vehemently.
This story from the USA Today creates a different conundrum: If a drug kingpin builds a church, will God inhabit the praises of those people?
"We know that the narcos … look for a way to redeem themselves in religious terms, by doing some good work. Obviously, sins cannot be washed away by a donation or a collection," said the Rev. Hugo Valdemar, spokesman for the Archdiocese of Mexico, the country's largest.
This is a legitimate house of worship in the village of Tezontle. A place for Mexicans to glorify the Lord. You think they know how this modern church was built?
Well, the story continues to tell us that on a wall of the nouveau riche chapel, a plaque says it was donated by the leader of the violent Zetas cartel.
"Donated by Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano, Lord, hear my prayer," reads the bronze-colored marker, which says the chapel was built in honor of Pope John Paul II. Lazcano, who is wanted in both Mexico and the U.S., has more than $7 million in reward money on his head.
I'm sure there are some who believe this was Lazcano's (or Lazcano Lazcano's) mea culpa. Others may say this was his opportunity to show goodwill to the country that wants him incarcerated… or worse.
Either way, how would you feel worshiping in this house? Better yet, going to confession?
You know, you're sitting there reading the hymnal and these beautiful red and blue swirling lights are seen outside during mass. The priest breaks out an AK-47 from under his robe. And the altar boys dawn bandannas while shouting with clinched fists to the congregation.
Sounds like a quaint Sunday to me. Sweet. Only one thing, with the holidays looming, stay away from the mules in the Nativity scene. I'm sure they're not what you think they are.

About Jerry Cantrell
Jerry Cantrell first came to prominence as a member of Alice in Chains, one of the prototypical Seattle grunge bands. With their 1990 debut Facelift, the quartet scored a surprise hit with the ultra-heavy "Man in the Box." Racking up hit albums like 1992's Dirt and 1995's self-titled release, the band rose to the top of the alterna-metal heap. Lead singer Layne Staley, however, couldn't cope with the pressure of their enormous success; he sank into substance abuse and died in 2002.
Over the course of their career, the group has issued two successful all-acoustic EPs and one unplugged album, which focused primarily on the songwriting and arranging talents of Cantrell, whom fans found out had a very strong voice to boot. With the future of the band up in the air, Cantrell appeared as a solo artist on the soundtrack for the movie The Cable Guy, contributing the track "Leave Me Alone." After AiC opened for the first Kiss reunion show in Detroit in 1996, Cantrell began work on his very first solo album. He enlisted Alice drummer Sean Kinney and a revolving series of bassists -- including Alice's Mike Inez, Les Claypool, Fishbone's Norwood Fisher and Pantera's Rex -- and set out to record Boggy Depot with producer Toby Wright, who had previously worked with Alice in Chains and the Nixons. The record was finished by the end of the year and was released in the spring of 1998 to generally positive reviews. He supported the album as Van Halen's opening act on their summer 1998 tour. A long silence followed after his touring as he helped on a few Alice in Chains releases, including a box set and a greatest hits. He stepped back into the studio to record his second album, this time for Roadrunner Records, in the fall of 2001. He worked with Ozzy Osbourne's touring band on the album, which saw him trying to avoid guest appearances despite the high profile friends he could have counted on. Right before the album was ready to drop in 2002, tragedy struck as Layne Staley's body was found dead in his apartment. The remaining members of Alice in Chains went to a vigil in a Seattle park and released a mournful statement, but the incident did not stop Cantrell from pushing forward and releasing Degradation Trip that summer. ~ Greg Prato

Fabric Cards
These are just about the most fun thing I've ever sewn! So easy and they turn out so pretty!
I got my wovens together, mostly scraps. I ironed them on to heat and bond. I sewed them in patchwork style, cut them up, resewed them until they looked like a crazy quilt.
I then ironed it on to some thick interfacing. I popped on my darning/embroidery foot, lowered the feed dogs and using a variegated embroidery thread I quilted the heck out of the sheet of fabric in a random pattern.
Then I cut them out to fit the card, so that there was a bit of a margin all the way around. I used a straight stitch around the card to secure it to the paper. I didn't have any spray on glue, or I would have used that too.
I either sewed on the tag or a button to the front by hand. Then I cut a piece of cardstock to fit the inside of the card, again with a small margin, to hide the stitches.
I can't decide if I should put some in the summer swap or the card swap or sell them LOL. I scanned them to the color is a little stark, they are softer IRL

I didn't do any fabric shopping, but my husband's company gave him a fun little digital camera. It's truly just point and shoot! I'll have to do a few little projects for an upcoming podcast.
block printing —
I found some linoleum squares for a dollar and a wood block for a few more, and some cutting tools at the Japanese shop in SF as well. I have been practicing printing/stenciling with styrofoam from meat trays, like I did back in my childhood.
For dying: Look at H and M, if you have one close. I don't think you can order online but I could be wrong. They have really cute tops for around 4.00 each for kids. Much better price than Dharma or anywhere else, IMO.
Purses and bags!
I made the purse I chatted about earlier, as well as one out of the fabric I bought from that eBay seller in China. I used one of the patterns from my Japanese Bag book I got in San Francisco.
New purchases from JapanTown:
There is a bag contest going on over at Sew Mama Sew

Good God, Y'all
It was a Monday
A day like any other day
I left a small town
For the Apple of decay
It was my destiny
It's what we needed to do
They were telling me
I'm telling you
We started out the episode with these words from Foreigner's "Long, Long Way From Home." Seems fitting since the boys are a long way from "home" in just about every sense imaginable. I am glad we're starting out the season with the classic rock so many have come to identify with the show.
After the recap, we see Sam watching Bobby, who is still in the hospital, sitting in a wheelchair staring out the window. Dean arrives and injects one bit of the sparse humor of the episode. "It's been like three days now. We gotta cheer him up. Maybe I'll give him a back rub." But Sam doesn't take part in the humor and tells Dean that maybe they have to accept that Bobby isn't going to bounce back so easily this time.
Dean shows Sam the contents of the large envelope in his hand -- an X-ray that shows the strange symbols carved into Dean's ribs, the gift from Castiel that hides them from all angels, including Lucifer. As proof that even Cas can't just know where they are anymore, he has to call them on Sam's cell phone. When Cas shows up, Bobby demands that he heal him, but Cas doesn't have that power anymore.
Cas tells the boys that their plan to kill Lucifer is foolish, that they can't do it. But he knows someone who can -- God. "I'm gonna find God. He isn't in Heaven. He has to be somewhere." Dean injects the funniest line of the episode here. "Try New Mexico. I hear he's on a tortilla." The look on his face as he says it tells me that Jensen loved this line. Almost as funny was Castiel's serious response: "No, he's not on any flatbread." LOL!
After Dean's usual "God doesn't care about us" speech, Cas gets in his face and says that he's killed two angels that week, his brothers, for Dean, but Dean and Sam failed in stopping the apocalypse. "I lost everything for nothing," Cas says. He says that he needs an amulet to help him find God. It is supposed to burn hot in God's presence. Amulet, you say? Yes, DEAN'S AMULET! "Like God EMF?" Sam asks. Cas says yes. So, off Cas goes with Dean's amulet to find God, and Dean's response is, "Great, now I feel naked." This is pretty much where the humor ends in this episode except for one line toward the end.
We launch into what feels like a hunt of the week, but of course it has bigger ramifications and surprises this season. Rufus, the older hunter we've met before, calls Bobby and says he's in River Pass, Colorado, and the place is covered in demons. Boys and Impala head for Colorado, where they drive up to a destroyed bridge which is, of course, on the only road in and out of town. Funny how there are so many small towns with only one road connecting them to the rest of the world. Right as Dean says, "And the hits just keep coming," the song "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum starts playing. As they walk into town to find a bunch of abandoned and wrecked cars lining the main street, including a cherry red Mustang Dean appreciates, the song goes from being background to playing on the radio of a still running car. And who should show up then but Ellen. First she gets the boys off the street, then she hugs Dean, then she smacks him and tells him he should have called. Am I forgetting something, or didn't the boys think Ellen was either dead or had no idea where she was after the roadhouse fire? She takes them to a basement of a church where the survivors have retreated.
When Sam and Dean say they'll go get more guns and supplies, Dean tries to get Sam to stay behind. It's obvious Dean doesn't trust Sam out there with demons, and Sam knows it. While Dean goes for the guns, Sam goes to get rock salt. Two demons come in, he kills them, then has to fight his desire for the demon blood. Of course, Dean walks in and sees that written all over Sam's face. Later, Sam is upset that he had to kill teenagers and wishes he could save people like he used to. Dean calls him on that because that ability was only because of the demon blood, and Sam denies that he wants it anymore. As was speculated after last week's recap, Sam isn't as free from the lure of the demon blood as it first appeared. Sam and Dean argue again about who will accompany Ellen outside when she goes to look for Jo, but Sam ends up going with her. She knows something is up between the brothers and asks about it. Sam chalks it up to the stresses of the job.
And here's where the weirdness begins. They encounter Jo (who has black eyes), but Jo says, "Give me my mom back, you black-eyed bitch." Huh? I had to rewind and listen to this three times, and I was still confused. It gets even weirder when Rufus captures Sam and tries using holy water and rock salt against him. Rufus and Jo are puzzled about why it isn't working. They think Sam has black eyes, and he thinks they do. Something is not right in River Pass.
Back at the ranch...uh, basement of the church, Dean and Ellen try to figure out what's going on by trying to figure out what omens Rufus was in town to investigate. They find out from the minister that the river had run polluted all of a sudden the previous Wednesday. One of the other survivors says that on the same night, he saw a bright shooting star. Dean grabs a Bible and starts looking up something. When he reads, it's from Revelations: "And there fell a great star from Heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell upon the river, and the name of the star was Wormwood. And many men died." Dean asks the minister what these specific omens are a prelude to. The answer? The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. When Dean asks which of the horsemen rides the red horse (the cherry red Mustang), the minister responds, "War." Thus, the tie-in to the name of the episode, "Good God, Y'all," a lyric from Edwin Starr's anti-war song, "War."
Dean says he things War is in town and messing with all of their minds, that there are no demons. War is just making them all think they see demons so they'll all kill each other. Turns out War is inhabiting one of the survivors, a guy named Roger is really buried in a ditch somewhere. Next up on his hit list -- Ellen and Dean. He twists a ring on his finger and the other survivors think Ellen and Dean are demons. And they start shooting. Ellen and Dean make a run for it. They find Rufus and Jo and eventually get them to see past the hallucination. Sam, who had been tied up and taunted by War about his desire for demon blood, has figured things out too. He and Dean find War and cut off the finger with the ring. Everyone stops hallucinating, but War and his red Mustang just disappear.
In one of our roadside chat scenes, we see Dean and Sam sitting at a picnic area with a mountain of pines in the background. Idyllic setting in the midst of dark times. Dean is looking at the ring and injects one tiny bit of humor. "So, pit stop at Mt. Doom?" But then Sam gets serious. He says he knows that Dean doesn't trust him, that he doesn't trust himself. And then Sammy broke my heart.
"There's something in me that scares the hell out of me, Dean. I'm in no shape to be hunting. I need to step back 'cause I'm dangerous. Maybe it's best if we just go our separate ways." And then Dean breaks my heart by saying he agrees. He says he spends more time worrying about Sam than doing the job right. Sam turns to leave, making me wonder about Kripke and company's assertion that the brothers will be growing closer this season and wondering how long they'll be apart. In a final gut-wrenching moment, Dean shows that he still loves Sam by offering to let him take the Impala. But Sam declines and rides away with a guy with a camper.
Where are my tissues? :(

Giants left fielder Angel Pagan body-slammed an animal rights activist clutching white paper flowers, who ran onto the field into the outfield grass at AT&T Park during the fourth inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.
The tackle, caught on camera, went viral. On Saturday, Wayne Hsiung, who landed in a heap beneath Pagan, said he is member of a Berkeley-based group called Direct Action Everywhere.
Hsiung said he rushed the field in an attempt to bring attention to animal violence allegedly perpetrated by Farmer John, the company that supplies Dodger Dogs — the famous hot dogs served at Dodgers Stadium.
"We believe that the suffering of animals needs to be addressed," Hsiung said, referring to a recent investigation that showcased the "the horrendous mistreatment of animals inside of these farms."
A woman -- identified as Ashley Sloan, also an animal rights activist -- was taken down by security in shallow right field. The two, dressed in Dodger Blue, were removed.
"We had ten white flowers to represent the 10 billion animals that are tortured and killed every year in the United States," Hsiung said. "I have no doubt that if these were dogs or cat or frankly, even if they were pigs, that Americans actually got to meet and know on a personal level that the entire world would stop and say, 'Lets end this.'"
For his part, Pagan said Friday that he realized he had to do something to slow Hsiung down, unsure whether there was any motive to harm a player.
"I was just trying to protect myself and protect my teammates," he said. "The guy was getting closed to my teammates. I guess it was very explosive. Us athletes, we've got that kind of strength. ... It worked."
Hsiung first approached catcher Buster Posey, who with his left arm shoved the man to the ground. The man jumped up and ran and third baseman Gordon Beckham swiped at him before he took off into left field.
"That's just weird," Posey said. "Any time somebody comes on the field you're a little bit uneasy. He probably should've been charged with a flop.''
Pagan offered a hand as if to accept the flowers before throwing both arms around Hsiung, twisting him and throwing him to the ground.
According to Hsiung, Pagan is a "pretty strong guy."
"I'm a pretty fit fellow myself," he said. "I run and work out every day. And he picked me up and tossed me over like a rag doll."
Holding Hsiung down until security reached him, Pagan received a roaring ovation from the sellout crowd when the half-inning ended and tipped his cap.
First baseman Brandon Belt weighed in with: "Angel's tackle of the guy was one of my top moments in baseball history. That was pretty funny."
