There's not many feelings in the world greater than helping out a good cause.
A good amount of money was raised at the Ithaca-St. John Fisher game Saturday on behalf of injured Alfred sophomore tailback Julio Fuentes. Fuentes, who is from Olean, N.Y., injured his neck in a collision on a kickoff return against Thiel in the Saxons' 14-0 win in the opening week of the season.
St. John Fisher athletic director Bob Ward said raising the money was part of the Empire 8 initiative to help out Fuentes and his family in their time of need.
"We wanted to something as a school to get as much donations as we could, and we knew the Ithaca game would be well-attended," Ward said Monday in a telephone interview.
Alfred sports information director Mark Whitehouse said Monday that Julio was still in "guarded condition" at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester.
According to a release on the Alfred website, friends of the Fuentes family have established the Julio Fuentes Recovery Trust Fund through the Alfred branch of Community Bank.
Mark Shardlow, the director of Alumni and Community Relations at Alfred said there has been cooperation between many different facets of the school to get a response out to the community.
"We've corresponded with all the supporters of the Friends of Saxon Athletics, former athletes, a letter to alums from the president of the college, and e-mails to alumni and current staff, faculty and students," said Shardlow. "The local media has also been supportive in getting the information out to the public."
He said donations from alumni, the campus community and the general public may be sent to Friends of Saxon Athletics, in care of University Relations, Alfred University, Alfred, NY 14802. Checks should be clearly marked "Julio Fuentes Recovery Trust Fund."
Additional information may be obtained by contacting the Office of Alumni and Community Relations at (607) 871-2144 or by e-mailing email@example.com.
"It says a lot that people have been so willing to help out," Whitehouse said. "The response has been terrific."
Shardlow said that efforts are in the works to sell Livestrong bracelets to raise money. Alfred plays their Homecoming game next weekend against Norwich.
A game was also played in Pittsford Saturday.
In a score that was pretty shocking despite Fisher's rise into regional prominence in Division III, the 25th-ranked Cardinals shut out No. 11 Ithaca in the second half on route to a 34-10 win.
Cardinals running back Mark Robinson carried 17 times for 124 yards and two touchdowns, including a 56-yard touchdown run early in the second half.
Ithaca dominated in the first half, holding the ball for more than 22 minutes and holding Fisher to 48 yards in offense.
"We felt extremely fortunate to be down just 10-0 at intermission, because they really dominated us," said Fisher head coach Paul Vosburgh, now in his 16th season, in a press release. "We really didn't make any adjustments at halftime, we just stepped up the intensity in the second half and both our offense and defense rose to the occasion."
Fisher, who now starts 4-0 for the second time in three years, takes on Hartwick next week, while Ithaca, which lost for the first time in the conference since Sept. 25, 2004, takes on Brockport at Special Olympic Stadium next Saturday at 1 p.m.
The other game that featured two East Region teams ranked in the Top 25 was a little closer based on the score, but anyone who saw it or listened to it got a different feeling.
No. 19 Hobart led 24-3 midway through the fourth quarter, but No. 24 RPI tried desperately a la the New York Giants against the Seahawks to come back, getting two touchdowns, one a 1-yard run from Jay Bernando to get back to 24-10 and then an 11-yard TD pass from Jimmy Robertson to tight end Jon Branche to get within seven, but Hobart recovered the kickoff and ran out the clock.
What killed RPI the most was the four turnovers on the day.
"Their defense was a real credit and we couldn't get going against them," RPI coach Joe King told the Troy Record. "By the time we got things going, it was too late."
This was the fifth straight victory for Hobart against the Engineers.
"This is very frustrating," King told the paper. "They have beaten us five straight time and three at home. Especially losing at home really hurts. That's the worst part ... at our own place."
Despite the loss, RPI is not deterred.
"This doesn't make or break our season," Bernando told the Record. "We have to play catch-up. We still have a chance."
Predictions, predictions, oh how I hate predictions
In last week's column, I predicted Ithaca would beat Fisher 35-28 in OT and I had RPI beating Hobart 28-17. Well. This is why I write a column and I'm not a Vegas bookie.
Call me 1-2 so far on the season.
See my predictions at the bottom of this column of three games this week in the East Region.
Great performances
Brockport running back Garet Lynch ran for 262 yards on 26 carries and two touchdowns in the Golden Eagles' 22-0 win over Frostburg State.
Chris Sharpe, Springfield quarterback, ran for 235 yards and five touchdowns in the Pride's 41-34 win over Alfred. Sharpe is becoming a fixture in the "Great Performances" part of this column.
A team peering over the edge
Brockport is 2-1 and 2-0 in ACFC play, with wins over Salisbury and now Frostburg State and a seven-point loss to Cortland. They still have to play Wesley, a Top 10 team, on Oct. 21, but look for the Golden Eagles in the next few weeks. However, as a disclaimer, they do play St. John Fisher, Ithaca, and a resurgent Springfield in the next three weeks, so if they aren't careful, this could go from a team peering over the edge to a team slipping in the abyss.
A reader emailed me asking me to put together a East Region Top Ten. I like the idea, so I'm going to try. Hopefully, this will start some good discussion on the East Region boards.
1. St. John Fisher
2. Wesley
3. Rowan
4. Hobart
5. Springfield
6. Ithaca
7. Cortland State
8. Union
9. Brockport State
This was a pretty difficult list to go through but with a ton of quality teams in the region, I'm sure it'll change next week all around.
Utica at Springfield: Last year, the Pioneers won one of the most important games in their young history, beating the Pride 34-33 at Charles A. Gaetano Stadium. This time on the carpet in Massachusetts, look for a little revenge.
Springfield 44, Utica 17
Ithaca at Brockport: Ithaca won't take anyone lightly, but especially after getting whupped by Fisher in the second half Saturday.
Ithaca 34, Brockport 21
Hartwick at St. John Fisher: Fisher set a school record for points last year at All-Weather Field in Oneonta beating the host Hawks 70-41. I don't think that many points will be scored this week, but I think Fisher is on a mission.
St. John Fisher 49, Hartwick 17

Merguez Sausage with Harissa Sauce
D'Artagnan | Yield: 5
Lamb merguez sausage, the spicy sausage from North Africa, is a popular street food in France, where vendors grill the links until crisp and lightly charred and serve them with mustard. We also like them with this cooling yogurt dip spiked with harissa, the smoky Tunisian chile sauce.
- 1 package Lamb Merguez Sausage
- ½ cup labne or Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons harissa
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon chopped flat-leaf parsley, optional
- For Serving: Diced pickled turnips, pita bread or baguette
- Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Cook the merguez until they are charred and crispy, rotating frequently. Remove the merguez from the heat and rest.
- Meanwhile make the sauce: stir the yogurt with half of the harissa then add the lemon juice and honey and season with salt and black pepper.
- Adjust the seasoning as necessary with the remaining harissa, or any additional lemon juice and honey, to reach desired spiciness. The sauce should have some bite. Stir in the chopped parsley.
- Slice the pitas in half and slather the inside with the harissa-yogurt mixture. Place one lamb merguez sausage in each pita half. Alternatively, slice the baguette in half like a hot dog bun for holding the sausage. Sprinkle with pickled turnip slices and serve.

Lexus NX Crossover Teaser Released Ahead of Beijing
Compact Crossover Signals More Youthful, Aggressive Direction for Brand
We've known for a while that it's coming, previewed by a concept at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show. Now, we're about to see the production version of the upcoming Lexus NX compact crossover. As evidence of China's growing importance as a market for luxury models, the official debut will take place later this month at the Beijing Auto Show. The styling of the concept model was so sharp and angular, that it almost looked like you'd cut yourself if you touched it. Based on this teaser front three-quarter image, the styling of the production model has been toned down slightly from that of the concept but is still plenty aggressive and looks like it will include full-LED headlights in addition to driving lights.
Lexus' signature LED driving and directional lights and hourglass grille, which first debuted on the 2014 IS, will grace the nose of the NX, giving it a decidedly more assertive and edgy look than the traditionally sedate RX crossover, which happens to also be the best-selling model in the Lexus lineup. The RX has now adopted the LED driving lights and hourglass grille, but more as an adaptation than a signature styling element.
In terms of drivetrain, the production Lexus NX is expected to be offered with the choice of a hybrid model with a 2.5L I-4, similar to that offered in the ES hybrid, and an all-new 2.0L direct-injected I-4 turbo. Official output figures have not yet been announced, but expect around 200 net hp for the hybrid, and more than 220 hp for the turbo. European versions may offer a diesel option as well. Stay tuned to Truck Trend for official details on the new Lexus NX in the weeks ahead!

On Sunday, a senior Eritrean official added to the painful uncertainty endured by the families and colleagues of the imprisoned journalists, such as Eritrean-Swedish journalist Dawit Isaac, by stating that the government had decided to "move forward," leaving the journalists and other jailed political dissidents in the eternal oblivion of indefinite detention.
Yemani Gebreab, a senior adviser to Eritrean President Isaias Afeworki, said this in an exclusive interview with Swedish freelance journalist Donald Boström published on the website of Sunday leading Swedish daily Aftonbladet on Sunday. Gebreab, head of political affairs of Eritrea's ruling Party For Democracy and Justice, and a target of U.S. sanctions in connection with Eritrea's alleged involvement in Somalia, was in Sweden attending last week's Eritrean Festival, an annual fundraising and cultural event exclusive to expat supporters of the Eritrean government.
Asked about the basis of Isaac's imprisonment, the
59-year-old former top propagandist for
Aaron Berhane, the exiled former editor-in-chief of Isaac's newspaper, Setit, remembers the war period very differently. "At that time, the Eritrean government supported the private press by all means," he told me, explaining that authorities gave journalists the go ahead to move freely, and exempted them from military draft. "We never criticized the government during that war because the Eritrean press law did not allow us to speak on internal affairs during wartime," Berhane said. "The government was happy with that because we were focused on countering the Ethiopian propaganda and mobilize people to defend the country."
The war simmered to it present stalemate in June 2000 and by the time the Eritrean government carried out the September 2001 roundup of political dissidents and editors such as Isaac, the private newspapers had shifted focus toward scrutinizing national affairs. "Once the border conflict was over, we said we now have to look at what's going on in the country and when we started asking tough questions, then the government became very upset," Berhane said.
Isaac's brother, Esayas,
who lives in
Gebreab's comments at times did appear to be at odds with facts. "We were never given an opportunity to express our point of view on this issue," he claimed, adding "there's nothing we hide, and therefore we're willing to communicate and express our views." Yet, just seconds later, when Boström asked him to give assurances as to whether Isaac was still alive, Gebreab deflected: "I don't think there's any point in discussing the specifics of the issue and I have given reason why he's in detention. The specifics I don't believe are very important."
Questioned about
He justified the Eritrean policy by saying, "We can talk
about many, many countries over the past decade or so, especially after the
events of 9/11. Many countries have held people they felt were a serious threat
to their security." He went on: "So I don't think it's fair to accuse
While Eritrea is among the few nations as diverse as Iran and the United States who have detained journalists for prolonged periods without charge or trial, the Red Sea nation stands out as the only country to maintain that the condition of the journalists is a state secret while denying them due process. Some of the imprisoned journalists are believed to have died in custody, including Fessehaye "Joshua" Yohannes.
it's not surprising then that Gebreab should ask: "Can't Swedish
media find something positive to say about

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) women's volleyball match, MIT registered a 25-7, 25-10, 25-19 victory over Wheaton College on Tuesday night. The Engineers improved to 17-10 overall and 5-2 in league play while the Lyons saw their ledger fall to 8-16 on the year and 2-5 in the NEWMAC.
MIT quickly established a 5-1 lead in the opening frame, but an exchange of points followed with Wheaton trimming its deficit to 7-4 on a strike by Rachel Vergara. The Engineers responded by mounting an 18-3 run to capture the set. During that stretch Katie Spielbauer registered four consecutive aces on seven serving attempts.
Each side traded points to start the second stanza until MIT scored six in a row to go up 9-3 and force a timeout by the Lyons. Following the break Wheaton won two of the next three points, narrowing its gap to four (10-6). This was as close as it would get as the Engineers outscored the visitors, 15-4, to close out the frame.
Wheaton's Olanna Nissim opened the third set with back-to-back aces. The Cardinal and Gray countered with five straight points which were matched by the Lyons after they called a timeout. Kills by Tatiana Berger, Emma Gargus, and Jess Fessler gave MIT an 8-7 edge. Wheaton capitalized on miscues by the hosts to go ahead, 10-8. The Engineers recorded a 7-1 run to take the lead for good. Strikes by Jackie Jones and Nissim along with an ace from Kaitlyn Stokes brought the Lyons within one (15-14).
MIT used another 7-1 spurt to gain some breathing room, however an ace and kill from Nissim and a block by Jones and Lindsay Tebbetts kept Wheaton within striking distance (22-18). Hits from Rachel Hunt and Fessler resulted in match point but a strike by Jones extended the set. Fessler's strike clinched the match on the Engineers' next attempt.
Trinity Leonard paced MIT's attack with 11 kills as Kristine Bunker posted five blocks, three kills, and two aces. Fessler finished with five kills while Kelly Schulte notched four kills and four blocks. Berger, Rachel Hunt, and Gargus each chipped in three kills as Berger added two aces. Spielbauer totaled 14 digs and four aces while Natasha Jensen contributed five digs. Sharon Hao tallied 17 assists and two aces as Alyssa Rothman dished out 14 assists.
Jones led Wheaton with nine kills and a block while Nissim compiled five assists, three aces, and two kills. Kristine Hunt just fell short of recording a double-double as she had 10 digs and eight assists. Vergara rounded out the Lyons' attack with three kills.
Both squads will return to non-conference competition this weekend at the Hall of Fame Tournament hosted by Mount Holyoke College and Smith College.

On The Road With Flip part 4
Final days of the tour were the days of glory! We headed north to Sacramento with 2 skate days and a signing at Ground Zero and demo at B-Street Park (Watch the video our NHS homie Brad Oates made). Rain came back like a bitch on the weekend, but we managed to hit some street and then skated the Epic Skatepark in Sacto. Bowl bonanza, mini gap annihilation, sketchy TM and Bowman skate maneuvers, more fake birthday celebrations, street gangs and beyond… On the final day of the tour, after the B-Street demo, we all went for dinner and just when everyone thought the tour was over the best prank of all time was had!! This was retaliation against Luan and Andrew Langi for some poo pillow and bed piss attacks a week prior (Flip tour show coming soon). All in all the shit storm was fun as hell and the entire crew had a blast! Thanks to everyone that made it out to the signings and demos and stay tuned for next year's carnage… Enjoy the photos and video.
Big thank you to the sponsors (Monster, Vans, Volcom, The Skateboard Mag, Fuel TV, SHRED & Chipotle) and all the shops that supported us on this tour.

In "Friends with Benefits," characters played by Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis have a lot of casual sex together. I predict the film makes $500 zillion.
Just kidding (mostly). But there's no denying these two ridiculously likable, sorta-kinda-good-looking blossoming movie stars are in very high demand. So much so that my 8-minute phone interview with them was squeezed into a Sunday night after their full day of press in L.A.
In the film Timberlake, 30, and Kunis, 27, play—oh, hell, you know what it's about. The plot's just like "No Strings Attached."
"Friends with Benefits" revolves around sex. Better song for getting it on: TLC's "Red Light Special" or R. Kelly's "Bump 'N Grind"?
Mila Kunis: TLC!
Justin Timberlake: Well, let's break these down. I feel like if you've already worked out—
MK: I say TLC. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, sir. Please continue.
JT: If you've already worked out how you feel about your sexual encounter, "Red Light Special" is probably going to be better. But if not, then the interlude to "Bump 'n Grind" could be an amazing thing because if you think about it, my mind is telling me no.
MK: There we go. There we go.
JT: But my body's telling me yes!
MK: But don't you think—
JT: And you know what? I don't want to hurt nobody!
MK: Woo!
JT: But there is something that I must confess to you. And you know what that is? I think you do.
Mila, you say TLC no matter what?
MK: No, no, that's not true. I think if you're going to go with "Bump 'N Grind" you're going to have like porno sex. And if you're gonna go with "Red Light Special," it's not going to be as porno-y. It depends on what type of sex you want to have.
JT: But you know what, even if my mind is telling me no, I'm just saying my body's telling me yes.
Justin, you've said that some of "Friends with Benefits" touches on women's lack of understanding about the different parts that men have. Who is more confused about the other's parts: Men or women?
JT: I would say that women are confused, and I would say that men are just not aware. [Laughs.] I don't know. I'd say probably statistically, unfortunately, I'd say men are probably way more confused by a woman's anatomy because it's attached to a lot of emotion.
MK: Well.
JT: I think I just offended her.
MK: I have left the room.
JT: She just left.
MK: I think that a woman is a much more complex human being and it takes a lot more to figure them out.
JT: (singing) "My mind is telling me no!"
MK: But if you can listen and pay attention and not argue, life would be simpler.
I'm talking to you from Chicago. What particular challenges face Chicagoans in a friends-with-benefits set-up?
JT: Oh, you're in Chicago? Oh. Well, let me just say if you have a friends with benefits in Chicago--everywhere you are actually—you gotta be safe. Particularly in Chicago, you don't want to have a mistake by the lake.
MK: [Laughs.]
How does one know if they have a mistake by the lake?
MK: No glove, no love.
JT: I just mean, you know, that before you attack her, cover your wacker.
But not everyone may do that. What happens if "Friends with Benefits" causes an overpopulation problem once people see it and want to get it on?
MK: Wear a glove.
JT: I'm going to jump in and say we can't be responsible for …
MK: Safe sex.
JT: Yeah.
MK: But be smart, children. I hope that your parents and/or your school taught you that.
Describe your co-star in the form of a haiku.
MK: What's a haiku's number? 3-4-3?
JT: What is that, what?
MK: 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables.
JT: Oh, God.
MK: Jus-tin-is-
JT: My-mind's-tell-ing-me/no-but-my-bo-dy-tell-ing--
MK: Tell-ing, that's 7. And then 5 more.
JT: Me yes.
MK: I'm trying to think of lyrics to a song. I was going to start rapping Eazy-E for you, but I don't think that would have been really good.
Justin, you have such a wide variety of talents—
MK: I don't.
Mila, you're just one-dimensional. Clearly.
MK: No, that's fine, I got it. It's cool, man.
What's something each of you isn't good at?
JT: Interviews.
I don't think that's true.
JT: Oh, thanks, man.
MK: What are you not good at? Do we have to answer for each other?
Up to you.
JT: Mila is …
MK: Be nice.
JT: Tone deaf.
MK: That's true.
JT: But a redeeming thing about her is she doesn't care. And she will belt a song at the top of her lungs.
MK: Do you want me to do a rap for you? ... What's Justin not good at? Where do I begin? … He doesn't like crowds of people. He's not the greatest at being in a large group of people.
JT: I get nervous if I'm not controlling them.
MK: Yeah. He likes to be in control.
JT: I'm a control freak.
Does that speak to your plans for world domination, Justin?
MK: We're like Pinky and the Brain. World domination, Pinky and the Brain-style. (singing) "Pinky and the Brain Brain Brain Brain Brain [cute noise that sounds like 'bloop!']."

On her 17th birthday, Emily Fox gave the entire Warwick girls' hockey team plenty of reason to celebrate.
After losing a 3-1 lead to Lincoln in the third period on Saturday night, Warwick got a power-play goal from Fox with five seconds remaining in the game to lift the Lady Titans to a 4-3 victory.
The win was Warwick's seventh of the year, which set a new program record for most victories in a season. In their sixth season in existence, the Lady Titans are now 7-3
And it was Fox's goal, her second of the game, that did the trick.
"We were like, 'Five seconds left? We've got to get this in,'" Fox said. "We all looked at each other and knew that if we didn't win there would be a lot of skating on Monday."
Warwick looked poised to cruise to the victory when it went up 3-1 on a goal by Jacqui Lyman with 10:47 left to play.
But Lincoln got a goal from Jean Bray – her second of the game – with just over four minutes left, and then it got the equalizer from Cassidy DiPaola with 1:51 left.
As the game entered the final minute, though, DiPaola picked up a penalty for crosschecking, giving Warwick the man-advantage for the final 56 seconds of regulation.
At that point, the Lady Titans took a timeout to gather themselves.
"We said, 'Now it's up to you guys,'" Warwick assistant coach Ryan Henderson said. "'The ones on the ice have to pick it up, they've got to connect the passes, the goalie has to protect the angles.' They rose to the challenge and got the win."
With time winding down, Lyman moved a pass near the blue line to Ashley Cotrone, who put a shot on Lincoln goaltender Ashley Devolve.
The puck ricocheted out in front and, with Devolve on the ground, Fox wristed it high into the net for the game-winner.
"I was worried," Lyman said. "Emily Fox came back. She's the definite hero. It was really heart-wrenching."
But it was also a fitting ending for Fox and her teammates, all of whom were very aware that a win would establish the team's wins record.
The goal was Fox's 14th of the season, and she moved into second place in the state with 27 points.
"It was kind of a joke, because it was my birthday and I turned 17 and I'm number seven and it was our seventh win," Fox said. "It was just like, 'It's the luck of the sevens,' coming into it."
Lincoln fell to 1-9 in its first-year as a program.
Warwick is now in fifth place in all of Division I with 8.4 power points. It is second in the DeCosta Division, trailing only the Barrington/Mt. Hope/Portsmouth co-op team.
The Lady Titans dominated play early Saturday night, and got on the board midway through the first period.
Fox dropped the puck behind her to Lyman, who was in front of the blue line on the left. Lyman sent a wrist shot towards the net, and Casey McCormick was able to get her stick on it and deflect it past Devolve for the 1-0 lead.
The game remained that way until Bray tied it up early in the second period, beating Warwick goaltender Arielle Frank.
With the second period nearing the end, and Lincoln on a power play, Fox controlled the puck in Lincoln's zone and skated hard from right to left in front of the goal. She fired a wrist shot back to the right, and it snuck in the bottom corner of the goal for a 2-1 lead.
Just 1:13 into the third period, Warwick made it 3-1 on a highlight reel goal by Lyman, who carried the puck through three Lincoln defenders before flipping it past Devolve.
Comfortably in front, though, the Lady Titans began to relax and Lincoln fought its way back.
"After we scored the third we goal we thought, 'We've got it in the bag,'" Fox said. "We took some shifts off and it became apparent when they scored."
But any notion of a letdown was wiped away when Fox converted the game-winner with just five seconds left.
And at that point, Warwick could breathe a sigh of relief and celebrate.
"Coach came in and said, 'If you guys get this, you'll make a record,'" Lyman said. "We were like, 'We got this.'"
Frank saved nine of 10 shots in goal before being replaced late in the second period by Kayleen Murphy. Murphy saved eight of the 10 shots she faced.
The Lady Titans' next game is scheduled for Thursday against Burrillville/Ponaganset at Levy Rink at 8 p.m. Warwick will also play Saturday versus Smithfield at Warburton Ice Rink at 9:30 p.m. and Sunday at Providence College's Schneider Arena against Narragansett/North Kingstown/South Kingstown at 1 p.m.

"The Toronto Continuo Collective is an educational and performing group dedicated to exploring the art of Baroque accompaniment. The ToCC was launched in the fall of 2005 by Lucas Harris and Borys Medicky, who spent time with the New York Continuo Collective and recognized the need for a similar group in Toronto.
In the ToCC, we share ideas about the performance of basso continuo and its role in various genres of Baroque music, with particular focus on church, chamber, and theatre music of the seventeenth century. Topics discussed include figured bass harmony, supporting text inflection and delivery, ornamentation, rhetoric, word painting, and improvisation. We accompany different guest soloists from week to week, and welcome guest presenters to provide special workshops and coaching sessions. We perform at least two programs per year, and have given concerts of seicento repertoire in several Toronto venues: Fort York National Historic Site, Church of the Holy Trinity, Royal St. George's Chapel, The University of Toronto Faculty of Music (during the Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute), Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, and at the CanAsian Dance Festival.

"Formed in 1993 as Benevolent Order for Music of the Baroque, the group is now known as Baroque Northwest and is made up of people who share the same dedicated and progressive attitude towards performing music from the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, early Romantic, and Modern eras. We challenge and question the traditional canon of what historical performance practice should be, as well as the traditional concept of what a concert should be. We have fun with our concerts while never violating the integrity of the music (we show respect for the dead). We make our programs accessible to the general public while keeping them stimulating to our regular audience of early music aficionados. While some early music ensembles chose to perform in costumes, we perform in modern clothes because we believe ancient music is for modern people. Our programs are given in a traditional classical music setting but we often speak directly and informally to the audience, sharing interesting and amusing anecdotes about the music and composers, and we have been known to encourage audience participation. ...
Baroque Northwest is the presenting organization for the Baroque Northwest ensemble. Baroque Northwest also currently presents the Baroque Flute and Viola da Gamba Boot Camp, workshops featuring visiting artists, and recitals by select individuals. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

Often music also engages in a dialogue with the other arts. For the achievement of this broad aim AMUZ can take advantage of a baroque monument – the former church of St Augustine – a felicitous environment adapted with advanced technology so as to offer a modern concert hall that provides unsurpassed acoustics to boot. Furthermore, AMUZ integrates other historical buildings of the city of Antwerp as venues, more specifically during the events organized in the framework of the Flanders Festival-Antwerp."

Writing ~ I've made amazing progress with my writing this year. Previously it was rare that I write – a short story, maybe two, a year and otherwise that's about it. This year that has grown exponentially. Starting in around June, John (55555), Micah (Kakaru), and I, along with many others, started doing nightly "Write-Offs" where we'd write about a theme for 15 minutes and then comment on each other's works. While we took a long break (like, 5 or 6 months =P), recently John and I have started doing them nightly again, and it's amazing. They're not my best writing, but just writing almost every night is something that I truly love and am thankful for.
Perhaps my biggest writing achievement this year was 30,000 words for NaNoWriMo (I meant to write an entry on that, but I guess I forgot…). No, I didn't quite make it to the 50k, but considering how little I had been writing in previous years, and how this is the first year I've written (while also juggling the first semester of college), and how I've never written a single story longer than 1.5k, this has been a huge step for me. Writing this much in one month about one single story is just awesome. I'm still surprised I was able to do this much, and I look forward to getting the full 50k next year.
What I wrote was an espionage and psychological thriller. My old, 2010 short story "Hope" is actually the prologue for it. I definitely had a lot of fun writing and planning this, and I hope to finish it soon, as I'm only about half-way done with it. I'll probably write another entry sometime just about this and other writing, but since I'm covering a lot in this entry I should probably leave it at that.
I've also written four poems this year – the first poems I have written since freshman year of high school. While they were for my creative writing class, I'm still fairly pleased with them and look forward to writing more poetry next semester, as I'll be taken a poetry class (same professor, too, so that's cool – I really liked him). Additionally, I've written several short stories in 2012, two of which are over 2,000 words – longer than any short story I've written before 2012 – as well as several over 1,000 words. These are both big steps for me as, again, I really hadn't been writing much and it was hard for me to write long stories. Now this year I've written several. I may do another blog entry some time specifically about my character Detective Calvin Duster and the stories I have planned for him and the stories I have written.
But all in all, it's been a great year writing-wise. I still haven't written as much as I would have liked, but that's what 2013 is for, and I've written more this year than I have in all other years combined, so for that, I am happy.
In total, let's see. I've written roughly…7? short stories, half of a novel, parts of two different Serials, 4 poems, and over 50 flash fiction pieces. 2011? I didn't write a single short story, apparently. I must have written something, but nothing that I thought was good enough to post online. Wow, that's bad.
Reading ~ I've written several blog entries on books in 2012, so I don't think I need to do that again. I'll just link to my Best Books of 2012 and leave it at that. This is the second year that I've read more than a-book-a-week, and I've read many great books. I hope to continue my book-a-week streak for 2013 as well.
Blogging ~ So this year I started blogging for the first time (off of BZP), mostly for my write-offs. It's been a great experience and I've met some awesome people. I just plan on blogging even more this year.
Movies ~ Wow, so 2012 has been a great year for movies. I've watched more movies in theatre this year than quite possibly my whole life combined, haha – I don't go to the theatre often. The Hunger Games was enjoyable, and it's been fun ranting about it and the book to various people. Seeing the Avengers at BricksCascade with the awesome people there was really fun. Then of course The Dark Knight Rises over summer was completely amazing and one of my favorite movies. I saw The Bourne Legacy with a friend, and enjoyed that. I really like Jeremy Renner, and it wasn't a bad sequel to the Bourne Trilogy. The last two movies I saw were The Hobbit and Les Miserables, both of which were completely amazing. I hope to write a review of and ramble for both, but for now I'll just leave it at saying they were amazing.
TV Shows ~ I've discovered several new TV shows this year. Namely, Castle, The Walking Dead, and Justified. All are amazing shows, and Castle is definitely one of my top 5 all-time favorite shows and is amazing, and Katie and Aimee are awesome for nagging me enough to finally start watching it.
Music ~ I've found a variety of new music this year. Most importantly, ThePianoGuys. These guys are amazing, and definitely my favorite band/music group. Many thanks to Will (Tolkien) for introducing them to me. Then Katie (Ezorov) has shown me some awesome bands as well, name Eisley, the Hunger Games soundtrack, and Adele's Skyfall song, among other things. I've started listening to more of the Beatles and finally got their #1 Hits CD, and I've also started listening to Billy Joel, thanks to Grant-Sud. And lastly, I've started listening to soundtracks a lot more this year – Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, etc., as well as other classical stuff like Handel's Messiagh, etc. Really amazing stuff. I have of course listened to other things new-to-me this year, be these are all some of my favorite groups and songs, now.
Personal Life ~ With the help of the people mentioned below and other things in my life, I think I've definitely grown as a person this year, specifically in my Faith and beliefs. I can't really get into the detail, but suffice to say I am extremely thankful for these people and the circumstances that allowed me to become, in my opinion, a better person. I still have a lot of work to do, and unfortunately I have also failed throughout the year many, and I'm not happy with many things that I have done, but I believe that I have gotten stronger and I hope to this year accomplish some personal, private goals that I was not able to accomplish last year, though I did make progress on them in 2012.
People ~ I've had some amazing relationships with people this past year. I've grown close to many, many people that I hadn't been previously close with or as close with.
First and foremost, while we started talking since BrickCon 2011, Katie (Ezorov) and I didn't really get super close until 2012. She is one of the most amazing people ever, and the best of friends one can have. Talking to her for literally hours a day is just really, really amazing, and she is a super awesome person. I just can't put into words accurately how amazing she is and how amazing it is being so close to her.
Then there's John (55555), who I've been friends with practically since I joined this site. But it seems like this year we became particularly close. Alike in so many ways, and just easy to talk to, he's been an amazing friend this year and we've told each other practically everything. It's been fun talking about our various struggles and wishes and people that we like, giving advice to each other and whatnot. He's always there for me and is like a brother.
Micah (Kakaru), too, I feel like I've gotten a lot closer to this year, probably because I've gone to two conventions with him and talked to him a lot on Skype. Micah, as I'm sure is obvious, is an awesome guy (just ask Rob), always willing to talk and help out with things. I've also gotten closer to Jason (xccj), rooming with him at two different conventions and going on mini road trips to Seattle – it's been really fun, and I love how it doesn't matter if we disagree on politics or religion, we put those aside and just be friends while respecting each other. And everyone, at BCon and BCascade, I've had awesome times with and gotten closer to.
I think perhaps the biggest jumps I've made this year with people (previously rarely ever talking to them, and now talking to them very often and being good friends) would be Caleb (Cederak), Will (Tolkien), and Nate (GSR). I've always respected them a lot as writers (Nate less so, but that's only because he wasn't even active until like earlier this year, so I had no idea who he was until he entered those short story contests and then he immediately gained my respect =P). Caleb, especially, I've gotten really close to, and he's helped me out a lot with things. Again I love how I can have practically completely opposite viewpoints on politics and religion with both Caleb and Nate, and we're still great friends, because we don't let that get in the way. Aimee (Aderia), too, I didn't really know until this year, and now we're great friends (and she's also my Les Mis buddy that I can yell at about awesome Les Mis things any time I want. We're also Les Mis t-shirt buddies!). And same with Kraggh – we've got a lot in common and we can both appreciate Les Mis for the awesomeness that it is.
Although I went to school with her for 4 years, I didn't really meet my friend Christina until early 2012. She really helped me become a better person and realize that there are other people out there like me (besides John [55555] =P), and since then I've grown so much in my Faith. Katie, too, has helped me immensely with my relationship with God, and she's another person reminding me that there are people who share my views and beliefs. I've become a much better person this year, in terms of my beliefs, I think, mostly due to John, Katie, and Christina, and for that I will be forever grateful.
And I could seriously ramble on and on and on about all the amazing relationships I've had this year, and keep listing more and more people, but I'll end with just mentioning the members of the Ambage Skype chats. Especially Nuile, who never gave up his writers club idea, and I'm so glad we were able to create the Ambage and how successful it's been. Literally everyone there is amazing and are awesome friends, and I couldn't be more grateful for how they have been so influential on my life.
And, well, that's about it. I know I've probably rambled more than people care, but this was a fun entry to write. Here's to 2013! *raises glass*

Dear Joe Flatley, The Verge,
It was with great interest that I began reading your feature article this morning, fan of The Verge that I am. The Verge is where I go for in-depth, thoughtful pieces; articles that dig deep into the issues that matter to people like me, who spend much of our time online.
As I got into the meat of your article, though, I had a WTF moment. You know that awful feeling, you have to stop reading, go back a few, re-read, ponder… did he really say that?
"Raygoza is an Internet Marketer — a 21st century snake oil salesman."
Raygoza sure sounds like a bad dude. You've convinced me the man is a complete con artist, which was your point, I think. Could you have gotten the same point across with, I don't know, something like: "Raygoza is a con artist — a 21st century snake oil salesman who uses the internet to stalk his prey."
That wouldn't make for a very good subheading, I know. You have character count constraints to work with, making this a much more suitable call-out for people skimming the article:
Now, I might argue that the big banks and shady mortgage lenders who caused the near collapse of the world economy are more suitable candidates for "the" snake oil salesmen of our time. But would there be any point? It's already out there; you've successfully painted an entire industry as cons, when in truth only a very small fraction of those involved in online marketing in any way, shape, or form, are responsible for the destruction exhibited in your article.
I give you credit for trying to qualify and temper your sweeping, inaccurate generalization with this: "There is another, legitimate form of 'Internet Marketing' which operates much more closely to a traditional marketing business, but men like Raygoza have co-opted the term and run with it."
But isn't the damage already done? Internet Marketing does not exist in two separate forms, legit and not.
There aren't two forms of stock investing: legitimate and illegitimate investing. Investment is an industry, like internet marketing, and there are bad eggs in there along with the good. I think you might find deception and devious behavior in any industry having anything to do with finance, from banking to insurance to mortgages.
Consumers seek out professionals in these industries, or respond to their marketing efforts, and trust that these people are going to do what they say they are going to do with their money. They have to believe that when promised something in exchange for their purchase or investment – whether a house, a return of some kind, or a physical product – they are actually going to receive just that. In many cases, they do; far less often, they are taken for a ride. This happens across the board.
Paul Raygoza may call himself an Internet Marketer, but then mobsters call themselves businessmen, too. Sometimes, when no one is listening, I call myself Princess Consuela Bananahammock. Point is, we don't have to give these people any undue credibility by repeating their moniker of choice, when the truth is that they are con men, plain and simple.
Regardless of their venue or channel of choice, people who steal and swindle others are criminals.
Internet marketing is a large component of the $194.3 billion a year U.S. e-commerce industry (2011). The people who cheat, lie and steal their way into any portion of that are not Internet Marketers any more than a man who tries to sell you a piece of the moon is an astronaut, even if that's the self-appointed title on his business card.
As others pointed out in the comments on your article, other generalizations in your article seem unnecessary and take away from what is otherwise a thorough and important piece.
Really? I know I've never read a useful book in my life. Bad news, those books. Especially if you buy direct from an author.
And DVDs! Well, unless I'm purchasing mass-produced media that has been carefully crafted and edited within the prescribed parameters to appeal to the masses according to what's popular, I had better steer clear.
You mean if I lead a horse to water, I can't actually make him drink? These people who purchase information about internet marketing (or gardening, or cooking, or investing, etc.) – they may not actually make best use of this information and practice what they've learned? That simply can't be true.
If the state of the economy and levels of personal debt across North America are any indication, people aren't using the information in investment and retirement planning books, either. Are they scams? Buying and reading a book is no guarantee that a person will do what the book tells them to do. It doesn't make the author of the book a con artist.
And then there's this gem:
It's sad that a tech journalist and his publication would paint all SEOs, info marketers, digital advertising agencies, social media marketers, small business owners trying to survive online, affiliate marketers, and others who sell in the online space with the same brush as con men.
I hope The Verge will consider changing out some of the needlessly sensationalized, inaccurate information in Scamworld. Some of the subheadings, in particular, are patently false.
It's doubly disappointing that the premise of Flatley's article was really good; stopping scammers and con men is an important and noble cause, regardless of their con of choice. In this case though, the title promised one thing – an investigation into scams – and delivered another, by way of a needlessly damaging diatribe against an entire industry.
P.S. The Verge may wish to consider removing the banner ads from site sponsors from above and throughout the article, as well – they were placed there by (ugh) Internet Marketers.

Vogue 8747
Added Sep 16, 2012
by Julia Morley
Pittsburgh, Penn...
Meet the inaugural project of my new sewing machine! (I challenge you to get a boyfriend who will buy you a Singer 9960 for your birthday)
The pattern is Vogue 8747, which incidentally I somehow liked enough in my subconscious to buy two copies of (on separate occasions). And I do like it rather a lot – it's a good fit right out of the envelope. The only slight change I made was shortening the sleeves fairly significantly (maybe 1-2 inches?). Other than that, went swimmingly.
The fabric is from my mother's 25-year-old stash, it looks like it's probably some type of coarse silk. Same fabric as I used to make my little baby Olivia dress for his brand new niece!

Hello Jorge,
A wonderful sunrise photo. The small pink clouds in the blue sky are beautiful. You placed the large silhouette of the palm tree very well in the foreground too. The sharpness is perfect.

I was sorry to read your note to the previous photo. You lost the tree and a photo opportunity.
Great colours and cloud patterns in the sky.
Best wishes

Hello Jorge,
The small pink clouds look fantastic and the orange tones just above the horizon provide a great match. The palm is seen as a magnificent silhouette between these colourful areas. From this distance we would probably not have noticed the attack of the caterpillars. I would never see anything like this from my bedroom.
Kind regards,

Hello Jorge,
Very beautiful with the silhouette of the palmtree and especially with the many diagonal pink lines of the clouds.
Incredible that caterpillars could eat all the leaves of such a tree.
I hope the tree will survive.
The nice thing is that soon you will have a lot of butterflies in your garden.
Best regards, Paul

Varlamov stymies Ducks for 6-1 win in Roy's coaching debut for Avalanche
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
DENVER – Semyon Varlamov was sharp in making 35 saves, and Jamie McGinn scored two goals, leading Colorado to a 6-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night in Patrick Roy's coaching debut with the Avalanche.
Ryan O'Reilly, John Mitchell, Matt Duchene and Steve Downie added goals for the Avalanche, who improved to 19-8-7 on opening night. Top pick Nathan MacKinnon set up both of McGinn's goals with no-look passes. Alex Tanguay, back with Colorado for the first time since the 2005-06 season, had three assists.
Varlamov stuffed the Ducks all evening but lost his bid for a shutout in the closing seconds when Jakob Silfverberg slipped a shot by him.
Viktor Fasth struggled for Anaheim, allowing three goals in the second period.
Things got heated after the final horn, with some players getting into a skirmish near the benches. Even Roy got into the act as he jawed from behind the glass.

Desk Chairs & Home Office Chairs
Office furniture selection tends to focus heavily on desks and other large pieces. These large pieces are quite important and do deserve a lot of attention, but don't forget that a beautiful, spacious desk can be made all the more inviting with the addition of a comfortable chair. Pottery Barn's desk chairs and home office chairs give you the opportunity to create an ergonomically appropriate workspace with an unmistakable sense of style. With features including adjustable height and rolling feet, our chairs are just what you need to make your work space feel wonderful. Whether you've got an entire room to yourself or your office is tucked away in the corner of your bedroom, our chairs will help you bring the room together with elegant style.
Far from the monotonous options seen in most corporate offices, our home office furniture allows you to build an efficient work space that reflects your unique personality and taste. From tufted, upholstered chairs to rustic wooden desks, you can shop from a single furniture collection or mix and match pieces to build an eclectic but refined home office. We'll help you create an office space you can be proud of and show off, and if you regularly welcome clients or colleagues into your work space, our desk chair offerings include stationary guest chairs that can match or coordinate our rolling chair options.
Our desk chairs match beautifully with our other home office furniture options, but it's important to consider your work habits and postural needs as you shop. If you type and look at a computer screen while you're at work, focus on buying an adjustable chair that allows you to attain a neutral seating posture, which will help reduce strain on your neck, wrists and arms. If you are thinking about selecting on of our adjustable standing desks, rolling chair may be a handy addition to the office so you can move it out of the way while you're standing. Comfort is key when you're designing your work space.
Though it's important to consider the practicality of the furniture you choose, you don't have to ignore style completely. Picking out a colorful low-pile rug to go under your desk chair, particularly if you have wood or laminate floors and want to select a rolling chair, is a great way to both add visual interest and protect your home. With desk chairs available in a variety of colors and fabrics, from clear acrylic to deep brown leather and ivory upholstery, you'll have no trouble picking out a rug and chair combination that looks great together and adds an extra element of sophistication to the room. Rugs can also be great for office spaces because they help dampen sound, which can be important if you conduct confidential business in your office.
While it's a good idea to coordinate your chair selection with your desk to ensure you'll be sitting at the right height, you can also consider what kind of cabinetry you want from your office based on what kind of chair you want to get. Being able to easily lean over and access files while seated can help make your workflow process much smoother, so it's worth measuring and making sure your furniture arrangement complements your chair selection. A little bit of forethought can help you create a comfortable and functional office space that allows you to look out for your health and your business. Selecting an office chair isn't the most important decision you will ever make, but it is one worth considering carefully so you can make your office into a comfortable place you enjoy spending time.

BRADENTON, Fla. – MIT's men's swimming team squared off with the State University of New York at New Paltz squad during its winter training trip in Florida on Wednesday. In a competition that was scored in an invitational format and held in a 50-meter pool, the Engineers finished second to New Paltz 166-154.
In the first event, the 50 Butterfly, MIT was led by senior Matt Chapa (Baytown, Texas), who captured first with his effort of 30.20. Freshman Ben Bauchwitz (Hershey, Pa.) was third in 30.40, with sophomore Colby Dunn (Weston, Mass.) taking fifth with a time of 30.90. Junior Brendan Deveney (Newtown, Conn.), sophomore Michael Liao (Newport Beach, Calif.), freshman Brian Xiao (Potomac, Md.) and sophomore Jeffrey Lin (Potomac, Md.) finished behind Dunn to give MIT seven of the top ten positions.
Junior Brendan Liu (Lake Oswego, Ore.) was the top Engineer in the 50 Back, finishing second by just 0.06 seconds with his time of 31.80. Led by freshman Michael Everett's (Ann Arbor, Mich.) fourth-place time of 32.20, MIT went on to capture the next seven places in the event, with Deveney, Xiao, Lin, freshman Spencer Boone (Thousand Oaks, Calif.), senior Tim Stumbaugh (Loveland, Colo.) and Chapa following Everett to the wall.
MIT took second and third in the 50 Breast, with senior David Parell (Lexington, Ky.) and Liao clocking times of 36.10 and 36.40 respectively. Lin also posted a top-10 finish for the Engineers in the event.
Finishing the short event with the 50 Free, New Paltz was able to take the first five positions to comeback and edge MIT in the final point totals. Liu posted the top time for the Engineers with a 28.50 in his sixth-place effort, with Dunn close behind with his time of 28.60. Also finishing in the top-10 for MIT was Everett.
MIT will return to dual meet action when it hosts Colby College on January 14 starting at 3:30 p.m. in the Zesiger Center pool.

Technical errors have been blamed by Corporate America's most senior executives for a string of outages this year that have racked up hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, drawing attention to the need for more extensive technology testing.
Continue Reading Below
Knight Capital (NYSE:KCG) saw its entire survival threatened this week after a rollout of new software proved incapable of handling the realities of daily trading, leading to erroneous trades that caused $440 million in losses, or close to double the market maker's quarterly revenue.
The company blamed the error on a "technology issue" following the software's installation. If that sounds familiar, it's because technology has become the excuse du jour for when things go awry.
"You can attempt to use best practices and do everything within reason but you can never predict when a glitch or spike in traffic is going to bring operations to a screeching halt," TechSavvy Global CEO Scott Steinberg said.
Nasdaq OMX (NASDAQ:NDAQ), which botched Facebook's (NYSE:FB) $16 billion initial public offering in May, similarly blamed a glitch that caused mass confusion over order execution on "poor design."
"We're going to have a lot more outages and probably some big ones before this is over."
And stock exchange BATS blamed a serious hiccup during its initial public offering in March that temporarily halted trading of Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock on a "serious technical failure," while the Royal Bank of Scotland (NYSE:RBS) attributed a backlog of payments one night in June that crippled its system to a "computer glitch."
Of course, there's also the Flash Crash of 2010.
Tech failures have also been blamed for problems outside the financial services industry, including the Alyeska Pipeline spill two years ago that leaked 190,000 gallons of oil and a steam tube leak at a nuclear power plant last month attributed to "modeling errors."
In a world where reliance on technology grows by the minute and human capital struggles to keep pace, a single glitch in a high-volume system can be catastrophic.
The growing prevalence that has already led to hundreds of millions of dollars in losses has put further pressure on industries to strenuously test new products and rewrite contingency plans.
"We really don't have good stress tests that measure real world events," said tech analyst Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group. "You can replicate events from the past, but anticipating what will happen in the future is incredibly difficult."
Partly to blame is financial turmoil that has forced companies to scale down in recent years through budget and staff cuts. Many just don't have the financial means to test for events they deem extremely unlikely.
Surely Knight Capital put the software it launched this week through extensive testing prior to launch, but as in all of these cases, it may have become too costly to test for unforeseeable circumstances.
"You may test server load if it's hit by 100K in an hour but what happens if suddenly a million arrive?" Steinberg said. "Despite the best intentions, even the most well crafted stress test programs can't account for every individuality."
Trying to stay ahead of constantly advancing technology, companies sometimes move too expeditiously to test for everything, while others may overlook extensive searches fearing they won't have the time or money to fix potential shortfalls.
"What's happening now is we're rolling out applications so quickly and into many more environments," said Randy Clark, software company UC4's chief marketing officer. "That combination is a recipe for failure."
Perhaps some of the detrimental outcomes of these glitches could have been avoided or at least minimized if companies simply prepared for failure.
Since many of these errors, both human and technological, may be unavoidable without hard-to-come-by unlimited stress test capacity, companies at certain inflection points, such as an IPO or new product launch, should anticipate road bumps and lay out back-up plans. Having extra human capital and tools at the ready may stop a malfunctioning process before it gets out of hand.
"We live in a world you can't really predict," Enderle said. "Plan for the fact that you're going to have a catastrophic event and then figure out best and fastest way to recover from it."
At the same time, new technologies (if thoroughly tested, of course), such as software made by UC4 that automates the release of new businesses, could help IT better monitor system launches. UC4's software also allows companies to roll back to the previously used system if necessary.
"These people are trying to automate millions of transactions and ensure all different work flows and the only way they can do it is with greater visibility and control," said Clark, whose company's software pledges to eliminate more than half of data center app failures.
Of course, part of that preparation is communication. Nasdaq CEO Bob Greifeld was criticized in the aftermath of the Facebook fiasco because he was off the grid for five hours while flying from Silicon Valley to New York City as the debacle unfolded.
During his absence, investors and the Securities and Exchange Commission were desperately hunting for answers.
"You have to trust your people but also have to maintain open lines of communication when a fire does pop up," Steinberg said. "It's like Murphy's Law – if it can it will fail, expect it to do so and at the worst possible time."
Perhaps the growing problem, which has been highlighted these last few months under such high-profile cases, has captured the world's attention and increased the necessity to test.
"I think there's rising industry awareness around it," Steinberg said. "The issue is there are so many potential points of failure that to some extent it's a game of chance."
At the same time, it sometimes takes an extreme catastrophe before a problem is fixed and Enderle said he thinks there are going to be "a lot more outages and probably some big ones before this is over."
"The reality is, regardless, computers are here to stay," Tenxer CEO Jeff Ma told FOX Business. "The question is how do we tighten things up so when there's a mistake in the computers it doesn't go rampant?"

Getting Started
Scripts are Python modules or packages containing one or more Python functions. When Wing starts up, it will search all directories in the configured Script Search Path for modules (*.py files) and packages ( directories with an __init__.py file and any number of other *.py files or sub-packages).
Wing will load scripts defined in each file and add them to the command set that is defined internally. The script directories are traversed in the order they are given in the preference and files are loaded in alphabetical order. When multiple scripts with the same name are found, the script that is loaded last overrides any loaded earlier under that name. For package scripts, Wing will load all package modules that are imported in the __init__.py file.
Functions in scripts are exposed as commands in Wing unless their names start with an underscore. Commands may be bound to keys, added to menus or run via Command by Name on the Edit menu.
Naming Commands
Commands can be referred to either by their short name or their fully qualified name (FQN).
The short name of a command is the same as the function name but with underscores optionally replaced by dashes (cmdname.replace('_', '-')).
The FQN of a command always starts with .user., followed by the module name, followed by the short name.
For example, if a function named xpext_doit is defined inside a module named xpext.py, then the short name of the command created will be xpext-doit and the FQN will be .user.xpext.xpext-doit.
Reloading Scripts
Once script files have been loaded, Wing watches the files and automatically reloads them when they are edited inside Wing and saved to disk. As a result, there is usually no need to restart Wing when working on a script, except when a new script file is added. In that case, Wing will not load the new script until the reload-scripts command (Reload All Scripts in the Edit menu) is issued or the IDE is restarted.
Reloading will not work for any file that sets _ignore_scripts or for modules outside of the script path. For details on how reloading works, see Advanced Scripting.
Overriding Internal Commands
Wing will not allow a script to override a command that Wing defines internally (those documented in the Command Reference). If a script is named the same as a command in Wing, it can only be invoked using its fully qualified name. This is a safeguard against completely breaking the IDE by adding a script.
One implication of this behavior is that a script may be broken if a future version of Wing ever adds a command with the same name. This can generally be avoided by using appropriately descriptive and unique names and/or by referencing the command from key bindings and menus using only its fully qualified name.
