Comments about PBS The Battle for Marjah Blu-ray/DVD Combo:
The best part of watching this was being with our son, a Marine Corporal, who was in Helmand Province, Afghanistan for the serge of 2010. Our son added his own experience to this extraordinary film, and in his opinion as well as ours, this was an excellent film.

---- — The town will ask voters to open up land near two highway interchanges for more than just industrial development.
After a developer-driven effort to rezone the River Road area for additional uses was pulled from the 2011 Annual Town Meeting warrant, three town committees have been working to provide a solution for expanding the use of land around the River Road and Dascomb Road Interstate 93 interchanges.
Known by officials as "ID2," the to-be-presented industrial zoning district aims to expand the existing industrial zoning climate by allowing developers to build small businesses, services and amenities in the area.
For the time being, people who work in the area do not have convenient access to services, which Economic Development Council Chairman Timothy Vaill said makes the area less desirable for businesses looking to expand or move.
"When they get out of work, they want to go to the dry cleaners, to Starbucks. They want to go somewhere to take care of their daily needs," Vaill said. "Right now, because we don't have the zoning, they get out of work and drive to the next town."
Many of these services are located elsewhere in Andover, but still considered out of convenient reach.
"If you and I were on our lunch break, for us to jump in our car and drive to these services... You don't have the time," Andover Planning Director Paul Materazzo said. "Allowing the flexibility in these specific areas in town would allow for some of these complimentary services to move forward."
The new zoning is being proposed jointly by the Planning Board, Andover Green Advisory Board and recently created Economic Development Council, according to Materazzo. The zoning would be enforced via a special permit requiring Planning Board approval, meaning businesses would be approved on a case-by-case basis.
Materazzo said the type of businesses Andover is looking to attract have set up shop just over the border because of Andover's strict zoning. He said that has left Andover residents with fewer in-town services than are typically offered.
"For every 10,000 population, you should have one full service grocer," Materazzo said. With Andover having 34,000 residents and only two grocers, both in or around Shawsheen Plaza, "we're really a grocer and a half short. From where I sit, and with the work the Planning Board and Economic Development Council has been doing, there has been grocers watching what we do with these two areas."
"If the Town Meeting looks favorably on these two articles, we may have another grocer looking to come to town," Materazzo added.
As it stands, the proposal would prohibit any services north of 25,000 square feet in size from opening up in the two areas. This would stop things like "big box stores" from coming to town while giving smaller-store chains, restaurants, stores and fitness centers more places to set up shop, according to Vaill.
The town is looking for "whatever it might be that you, as a worker, might want to shop after work, or maybe during lunch," Vaill said. "What we're trying to rule out is the big box Wal-Mart, Lowe's, the big boxes that wouldn't add to the culture in those areas."
The 2011 proposal was presented to the town as the River Road Overlay District. It was brought forward privately by an employee of The Gutierrez Company, a developer that owned several of the 13 pieces of land affected by it. It was pulled from the warrant after the Planning Board opposed it and the Board of Selectmen declined to take a position.
While Vaill said he wasn't fully aware of the Gutierrez proposal, the fact that it came from a developer with skin in the game may have caused people to look at it "with a little bit of skepticism, whereas this one is being created by the town."
In this case, because the town put the plan together, the town's in the driver seat, according to Vaill.
"We obviously have a chance to approve any development that wants to go there," he said. "We specifically have not said we want this kind of store or that kind of store. The developers have to make their own cases as to why it would work or not."

Repealing the 14th Amendment Would Not Fix Our Immigration System
Taking aim at the 14th Amendment is counterproductive and potentially dangerous.
Marshall Fitz is the director of immigration policy at the Center for American Progress, a liberal Washington, D.C., think tank.
All Americans can agree that ending illegal immigration and fixing our broken immigration system is of paramount national importance. But we should also be able to agree that taking aim at one of the Constitution's most fundamental provisions—the citizenship clause in the 14th Amendment—is an unwieldy, counterproductive, and potentially dangerous way to address those concerns.
Opponents of birthright citizenship cloak their arguments in legal revisionism, but those arguments fail to hide the extremism inherent in this assault on the 14th Amendment. Their opening line of attack is that the amendment's framers didn't mean what they said and that Congress can therefore restrict who is entitled to citizenship at birth. To reach that conclusion requires a radical reinterpretation of firmly settled constitutional law, not to mention judicial activism of the highest order.
The United States is not a country club. The Constitution declares that "[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." The framers' intent was to create an objective basis for establishing citizenship—birth—not a subjective standard left to the whim of a majority. The United States has, for that reason, never struggled like other nations to integrate those born here.
[Read more about U.S. immigration reform.]
Creating a permanent subgroup of outcasts born in the United States who can never call it their country would weaken our nation's social cohesion without addressing legitimate concerns posed by illegal immigration. Countries such as Germany that historically denied citizenship to children of immigrants born within their borders still struggle to integrate them because they consistently face limited social mobility.
The genius of our nation, and the key to our success, is rooted in the inalienable freedoms on which the nation was built. The Supreme Court's most infamous decision, Dred Scott v. Sandford, shook those foundations by rejecting the concept of birthright citizenship for the children of slaves. The Civil War was fought and the 14th Amendment ratified in large part to reset that foundation upon the Declaration of Independence's central pillar, "that all men are created equal." Repeal of the citizenship clause would return us to the dark days of Dred Scott by denying citizenship to a new class of children and stigmatizing them at birth.
The imprudent justification for this radical constitutional revision is to prevent the phantom phenomenon of "anchor babies" that supposedly threatens the nation. But the ugly term "anchor baby" derives from a fundamental fiction. There is no self-interested incentive for immigrants to have babies in the United States because a child must turn 21 before being able to sponsor anyone for permanent residence. Hence, no immigration benefit can accrue to the parent of a child born on U.S. soil for at least 21 years.
In short, claims that the citizenship clause is a magnet for illegal immigration are gross exaggerations at best, cynical political pandering at worst.
Ending birthright citizenship is thus a solution in search of a problem. The simplicity and irrevocability of the Constitution's guarantee of fundamental liberty to children born on our soil was, and is, the promise of America. To turn our backs on that promise by repealing the 14th Amendment is the equivalent of killing a fly with a grenade launcher. Ending birthright citizenship would not fix our broken immigration system. It would only make matters worse.
Read why automatic citizenship is a bad idea, by Matthew Spalding, director of the B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies at the conservative Heritage Foundation.

Just an idea on the two colored monoprinting. What if you just inked the two sides of the sheet protector with different colors. Pressed two sheets of glossy card stock. Reink (or not) then flipped the cardstocks over and repressed. Seems like it would cut down on the time that way. Love this webisode. Thanks again ladies :)

Ezra Mann
Pauls Valley Democrat
Pauls Valley, Oklahoma —
As the haunting hour ticks ever closer to Pauls Valley Arts Council's Halloween Art and Glow Show Oct. 28-31, residents from all over the region have a chance to see how ghoulish the community can be.
One such Garvin County resident, Ruthie Bustamante, had no trouble deciding whether or not to participate, with the only question on her mind on how long it would take to get work ready.
The event both satisfies a passion she's had for creating artwork of all styles as long as she can remember and is a chance to combine it with what has always been her favorite holiday.
"I knew as soon as we were doing a Halloween show what I was going to do," said Bustamante, who graduated from Pauls Valley High School in 2008. "It's the one day you can be anyone you want to be and get away with it."
Bustamante's drive to create goes back as far as she can remember and noted how her mother, Nellie McBroon, still is proud of what started with making playdoh figures like Gumby and simple art supplies is now leading toward a career. She is currently an art student at East Central University with a major in the field and has even found a mentor in another love, ceramics, from her professor Wayneath Weddle.
However, Bustamante also feels compelled to carry on an artistic way of life in the area from those who have proven hard work pays off like another PV native, Kevin Stark.
She hopes to reach the limits with her art, be active in the community and is driven to create just to see what the next finished product will be.
"I've been doing art my whole life, but this is where it's really blossomed... My foundation is in Pauls Valley," said Bustamante, adding how she also likes to restore old cars and work on interior design with her mother. "I don't think it was inspiration, I think I was born an artist."
For this show, Bustamante will be entering the maximum allowed three pieces, including a spooky painting for the glow portion, a sculpture and a mixed media entry.
She has entered other Pauls Valley shows, with works like a giant black teapot, previously and has been a member of the arts council for about three months now.
Bustamante also plans to use body paint to help create her costume, which will get any visitor in free to the show Friday, and even bake a creepy cake for those who show up for the opening reception from 6-9 p.m.
For those who don't show up in costume it is $10 to come to the show the first night, though admission for the public is free Saturday through Monday.
"Art is what I breath," said Bustamante, noting how she'd next like to get a master's degree and tour the country. "Instead of being obsessed with it, I'm possessed by it... It's going to be art all the way."
There is a $25 entry fee to participate, and all art must be accompanied by the artist's name and contact information and ready for exhibition. Entries for the show may be dropped off at the Arts and Cultural Center from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 26-27.
The show's remaining times are set from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 30 and 3 to 6 p.m. on Halloween, Monday, Oct. 31. For more details, contact Wil Rohan at 360-770-9831.

Awesome 3 out of my 4 bridesmaids did a fitting today for this dress. I have a wedding party of all different sizes from a shorty to a tall person, and a size 2 to a size 16. Three of them have bigger busts, and the fourth has a tiny bust. We are ordering this dress in the Regency Purple color. It looked beautiful on all of the girls and I would highly recommend this dress. It fits absolutely perfect on all of them, the empire waist is great, and the overall lay of the dress if very flattering on all of them December 19, 2013
Tried it on... If you have a body toned enough, you should look wonderful in this dress, you don't necessarily need to be a size 4, but this IS a halter dress. So with all halters, it will not hug your body, rather encase it in layers, it doesn't make you seem bigger, it's just the dress. I just want to point that out, and it does run true to size, I was complimented in this dress, very flattering around my bust area as well, very comfortable as well! You won't feel like you're showing off too much, it's just right actually. You may however, want to make sure the one you get, if you want this one, you order in advaaance, because I noticed the ruffling over one of the cups was stretched and unwearable if I had to take the dress I had tried on in the store. November 28, 2013
Dreadful This dress is so unflattering! I can't understand the reviews of people who liked it! I am and 5'8" and wear a size 6, this dress, even with alterations makes me look about 200lbs. Unfortunately this was picked for me as a bridesmaid, brides if you are considering this p,ease change your mind, your bridesmaids will thank you! Never in a million years would I have worn this dress in public if I had a choice! November 25, 2013
Bad fit None of my girls looked right in this. I thought this was a beautiful dress until they put it on. Poor POOR fit. Hung on all of them weird. October 29, 2013

I am writting here because I am not sure if I am depressed or it's just life in general. Before logging on I read a caption that something about low vitamin D can cause depression? Is this true. My doctor has me on 50,000 units a week...It takes everything I have to do things around the house anymore. I have gained alot of weight. I don't like to be sexual anymore cause I feel fat and ugly. I am going through some family problems but I just am not sure. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Good Luck and I hope you feel better soon!
Try forcing yourself to joke around with him and maybe he will relax.
I hope you feel better. I'm starting to a little.
My DH is not real cuddly in general, but is very tender during sex and cuddles a lot at the beginning and afterwards. He is attentive to my needs and makes sure I am happy. So I protest that cbre66's husband is just like all other men.
D, I think you're right about that, for some (many?) women it seems like sex is conditional, and the women in general act pretty cold about it, like they could take it or leave it but will acquiesce if the husband jumps through the right hoops. And that is sad.
Granted, I'm not going to be much in the mood if I'm mad at DH, but in general we both know that physical intimacy helps us feel emotionally intimate if we are feeling a little distant. If sex were to fall off the radar for us, I'd be seriously concerned.
Dang.. two protests? I can't have an opinion. ? really? I kind of thought that is what people were looking for were opinions by posting... advice is just what it is... advice.. take it or leave it. No hard feelings intended. I really enjoy most of your posts.
I still (my opinion only) think that you should see a Dr. ... just let them know that your in a "funk" and can't seem to bring yourself out of it.
I'm not sure about vitamin D causing depression, but that would be a great question for your Dr. I really really hope that you feel better and are treated in the way that you deserve.
I think sex is equally important to men, what I've heard it put as is that men want to feel love (and express it) so they want to have sex, whereas women want to feel loved and express their love prior to having sex. Just a difference in communicating I think. Still, a man should be attuned to what his spouse/partner wants or needs during sex to make it enjoyable for both.
That's all I'm saying! We're all entitled to our opinions, and we each have different experiences as well that form our opinions. Nothing wrong with that.
I would be honest with your husband that you are getting help for depression. He doesn't know what is the matter. Then be complimentary in some way about him and tell him that it would mean a lot to you if he would kiss your forehead and hug you sometimes. Tell him that would make you feel more sexy with him.
I feel greatly loved by my husband who is always very keyed into me, needs me to be pleasured in bed for him to have sex, gives me encouragement whenever I need it, etc. etc., but he rarely tells me that he loves me. Men are less vocal than women are.
I think that your husband is just out of touch with the way that he should be. And the more depressed and inward you are probably becoming, only make him worse. Try to be loving towards your husband, communicate with him, and I think that you will see a difference. BUT, definately get help with your depression.
Wish you the best.

I suppose this (my 25th book) was inevitable, since I have such a great admiration for the Blessed Cardinal (whom I believe will one day be proclaimed not only a saint but also a Doctor of the Church). He was the main theological and intellectual influence in my conversion to the Catholic Church (i.e., development of doctrine), and perhaps the most consistently brilliant non-fiction writer (both in ideas and style) that I have ever encountered. I maintain a large Cardinal Newman web page. I immensely enjoyed putting together my book of Chesterton quotations, and wanted to do similarly with Cardinal Newman.
The two great men have completely different styles: both profound and wise in their own way. The Newman book certainly won't consist of single sentences, as with Chesterton. I think that would do an injustice to his writing patterns and his thinking. It will be devoted to making his thought more accessible to the public (as concisely as possible without doing violence to it): categorized for quick reference and convenience.
Yes, there are several other books of this nature. I have them in my own library. But I won't be consulting them at all (as was the case with Chesterton). I want to do a fresh collection: all of my own making; my editing and selection, not someone else's, as I go through all the books and other writings. What a joy that will be!
Whether it sells or not is ultimately irrelevant to me. Maybe it won't. But this is the book that I had to write sooner or later. It will be a labor of love, but also pure pleasure, to go through all of Newman's writings that I can find. I like editing a lot when it is dealing with wonderful writers like these two fantastic authors. Otherwise, I don't like it much.
Copyright issues will be irrelevant (I had to limit citations of Chesterton's later writings because of this), so I will be able to cite anything I want, at any length I want. It's all in the public domain. And it's all "cut-and-paste editing," due to the faithful, hard work done at the Newman Reader website by Dr. Bob Elder and his associate Paul Zadik (I played a small role in getting them together), and The National Institute for Newman Studies. All of Cardinal Newman's writings are available there.
Please pray for me: that the results will be edifying, enjoyable, and educational: the three "E's" of apologetic writing. Thanks for reading this and any of my material. I'm humbled and honored by my readers. All glory to God. I seek to serve Him by sharing His message of the Gospel and fullness of the faith with you (as best I can).

Today we will be cooler than our average for this time of year which is in the lower 50°s. But we are warming up. Mostly sunny skies, with a few clouds trying unsuccessfully to poke in, will help us get to 45° today.
By Friday a few rain and snow showers will move through Reno. There is very little moisture with this system and even Tahoe will only see a couple inches of snow.
There is another warm up next week. Watch the video for details.

FULTON, Ill. —
Families walked from business to business, looking at different lights and displays. Children waited in line for a chance to ride on a small train that weaved up and down Fourth Street in Fulton.
These were some of the sights at the Fulton Hometown Christmas Walk on Friday.
People from Fulton and the surrounding communities came to the walk. In the Masonic Lodge, participants looked at a variety of small decorated trees, while employees from Community State Bank served refreshments.
Jessie Ewers, of Clinton, brought her 2-year-old daughter, Madeline Ewers, into the Masonic Lodge to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus. This was her daughter's first time to meet Santa. Ewers said she really enjoyed the walk and would happily return.
A brass band played in the streets, while people visited the different buildings. Fulton High School seniors, Demi Borgman and Rachel McDonnell, stood by a fire pit to stay warm.
They enjoyed coming out to the walk and seeing all of the people and the lights. McDonnell thought the lights were very pretty.
Ava Mattke, 6, and Gabrielle Mattke, 3, stood with their mother and grandmother, enthralled as John White, of Dubuque, carved a Christmas tree out of ice.
They asked him questions about exactly what he was doing, something he encouraged. White said a lot of people, of all ages, had stopped to watch him.
"That's the whole idea, is to be here to entertain," White said.
Robin Mattke brought her daughters all the way from Goose Lake. Their grandmother, Jan Wede, lives in Fulton and they thought it sounded like a good idea. Mattke said she would definitely come again.
"It's very small townish. It's very nice," Mattke said.

DALLAS (AP) — Need that one-of-a-kind stocking stuffer and have $1.9 million burning a hole in your pocket? Design your own diamond ring and travel to Africa to see where the stone came from.
Love the outdoors but think you'd love it even more while watching the Outdoor Channel? How about an outdoor entertainment system replete with a 201-inch television that rises out of the ground? It can be yours for $1.5 million (plus shipping and handling).
These are among the unique offerings for sale in the 87th edition of the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, which was unveiled Tuesday in Dallas, where the retailer is based. Almost 40 percent of the more than 500 items for sale in the book cost less than $250 (cheapest: $12 mug), but it's the "fantasy gifts" that get everyone's attention, such as the airplanes and camels the company has offered in the past. Eight such items are for sale this year.
"The world has become so much smaller than it used to be that the challenge of finding things that are new and interesting becomes harder and harder every year," Neiman Marcus spokeswoman Ginger Reeder said.
At $1.85 million, the "diamond experience" is this year's most expensive fantasy gift. For that sum, the buyer gets a 25-carat rough diamond from which to make a personalized ring with the help of jewelry designer Maria Canale. The package includes a trip to De Beers' headquarters in London and to Africa to trace the stone's origins.
Car collectors, wow your friends by rolling up in one of 10 special-edition 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Volantes. The sports cars, which cost $344,500, are handmade in England and come in an exclusive shade of blue.
"The cars sell out every year, and always sell out in a record amount time," Reeder said.
Other fantasy items for sale this year include a Jeff Koons sculpture for $20,000 and a designer exercise bike for $11,000.

Howard County Police have released the mugshots of the two suspects wanted in a string of door kick-in burglaries throughout Howard County.
Joseph Leo Baumgarten, of Pasadena, and Dianna Marketti, of Dundalk, were arrested on Oct. 4 after police said they tracked them down through a set of stolen Batlimore Ravens tickets. The two were charged with 25 counts each related to four daytime door kick-in burglaries and suspected in ten other burglaries that occurred in September, according to police.
However, a court commissioner, Oreon W. Pinkston II, on Oct. 5 and both posted it that day. On Nov. 15, the two suspects failed to appear at a bond hearing scheduled to adjust their bail, according to court records.
Shortly after posting bail in October, Baltimore County Police reported that Marketti was assaulted and kidnapped by Baumgarten on Oct. 13. Police reported he also stole her car, a blue Chrysler PT Cruiser.
As of Thursday afternoon, the Howard County Sheriff's Office said neither Marketti nor Baumgarten had been located. Both currently have outstanding warrants out for their arrest, according to court documents.
A spokesperson for the State of Maryland Judiciary, which oversees the court commissioners, said they could not comment on specific cases when asked on Monday about the bail for Baumgarten and Marketti. Howard County court commissioner's office previously declined to comment on the bail in October.

I haven't blogged in a while (ah, the holidays) but as I was getting ready for work this morning, I realized that my wife and I hadn't made any plans for New Year's Eve. I made a mental note to ask her what she would like to do (dinner, movie, etc) and then realized:
It IS New Year's Eve.
So basically, we ain't doing jack.
With that monkey off my back (she had forgotten about it too, so I got away clean), I turned my attention to what my new year's resolution should be. I strive for self-improvement (when I think about it), so setting a realistic and attainable goal for 2013 is on top of my list for stretching myself this year.
Now, as I'm human, I've made plenty of resolutions in the past. Some I've upheld, others tanked magnificently within days of the resolution being struck. A quick sampling:
- I resolved in each of the last two years to increase my earnings as a freelance writer. In 2012, I made more than I've ever made (which, admittedly, still isn't much).
- I resolved in 2006 to be a great dad to my then-unborn daughter. The jury is still out on that one.
- I resolved back in the late 90s to be someone people liked. Since there are literally zero photos of me from college, I'm counting that one as a failure.
- I've resolved to write a book. Mission accomplished.
- I've resolved to get said book published by traditional means. Mission impossible.
- I've resolved to join a gym and get fit. Did it for one year. I'm counting it.
- I've resolved to become a popular local writer. Incomplete - not enough data.
With such a spotty track record, I've decided to set my sights low this year. I'll keep my usual writing goals at hand (write a book, increase my freelance work, increase my yearly earnings, continue to build my rep locally), but I'm going to also add one non-writing goal.
I'm going to trust my dentist and try and floss at least once every day.
Don't ask me why, but when my brain went to work on constructing the most plausible, achievable goal for this year, flossing immediately popped into my head. And me being me, my first reaction to the term "flossing" was, "I ain't wearing no thongs, brain. Think again."
Then, of course, my brain corrected me. Yes, even my own mind thinks I'm an idiot.
It's not impressive (in fact, just re-reading it right now, it sounds really, really LAME), but it is that most elusive of new year's resolutions: entirely doable. And it will be a true test of my self-discipline and will; I hate flossing, mainly because I have steadfastly refused to believe that cutting my gums on a daily basis with the filamental equivalent of concertina wire is capable of making my gums tough.
But if my writing has taught me anything, it's that you have to stick with your goals in order to see payoffs. You have to make yourself do what you don't want to do in order to achieve those things you want to achieve. And since I'm sounding very much like Tony Robbins and Joel Osteen now, I'm going to stop.
So: what are your new year's resolutions? What personal transformations will you undertake in the next few months? Let me know in the comments.
And if you resolve that you're not only hunky but dory as you are currently constructed, then may I wish you nothing but the best in the year to come.
Happy New Year!

The Valdosta Daily Times
With "On the Edge," Valdosta State University Repertory Dancers proves again why the dance concert has returned annually for nearly 30 years.
Through the choreography of VSU Dance instructors Sarah Wildes Arnett, Eric Brandt Nielsen and Catherine A. Schaeffer, these dance concerts are energetic, colorful, lively, thought provoking, foot tapping, funny, beautiful, emotional, and a whole slew of adjectives that should cascade like tossed rose bouquets at the feet of these talented choreographers and student dancers.
If you don't like one dance, wait, you may like the next one. "On the Edge" features eight dances, with a few moments of house lights serving as a palette cleanser for the soul between each performance.
"Attic Antics." Choreographer: Nielsen. Motion capture animation: Hollis Barnett. Antoinette Williams, Kada-Krystal Mitchell, Elizabeth Michelle Adams, Melanna Kegley, Kristen Keebler. Motion capture dancers: Arnett and Schaeffer. Costume designer: Kathy Raess-Young. Scenic, lighting designer: Ruth A. Brandvik. Nielsen uses his marvelous narrative style to frame the use of Motion Capture technology, featuring live dancers as animated gremlins and other strange beings. The live dancers find these strange creations in various boxes in an attic. A screen on stage reveals the animation, the live dancers falling under the hypnotic sway of the animated creatures' movements. The screen should be larger to showcase the animation, but otherwise, a fun mix of technology inserted into dance.
"a strange(r) (a)fare." Choreographer: Arnett, with cast contributions. Dancers: Leah Kelly, Andrew Ritfeld. Costumes: Esther Iverson. Scenic, lighting design: Brandvik. Arnett creates a compelling duet set around the tableau of a couple seated at the opposite ends of a long dinner table. She uses all of her smoking guns: Kelly and Ritfeld dance on the table top, on the chairs, all is utilized in the sparse piece about a couple that seems ready to take remarkable steps as individuals but seem unable to take a step together. That said, Kelly and Ritfeld have all the right moves for this dysfunctional couple.
"Crystal Ballroom Part I." Choreographer: Nielsen and Ron Montez. Dancers: Sharia Stripling, Joshua Barcol, Hannah Kortrey, Andrew Ritfeld, Tehya Malone, Keith Simmons, Alexandra Stewart, Rocky Harris. Costumes: Raess-Young. Lighting: Travis Hunnewell. Nielsen and Montez present a traditional ballroom dance routine. Four couples elegantly moving to Linda Eder's "There Was a Time." A smart tip of the hat to the popularity of ballroom dancing on the dance floor and on reality TV shows.
"Marrow." Choreographer: Schaeffer. Dancers: Alainna Batchelor, Helen Foster Brown, Makeda Bryce, DeVante Graham, Leah Kelly, Tehya Malone, Kada Mitchell, Esmond Pickett, Antoinette Williams. Costumes: Schaeffer, Iverson. Lighting: Brandvik. Schaeffer presents a dance with a fierce edge. In one rush, dancers leap forward and almost physically challenge the audience. Schaeffer's dances always evoke both passion and thought.
"Dirt & Glitter." Choreographer: Arnett, cast contributions. Dancers: Tess Buis, Sierra Jordan, Hannah Kortrey, Ben McGaha, Andrew Ritfeld, Taylor Singletary, Kia Street, Sharia Stripling, Jesse Vickers. Video: Arnett. Costumes: Iverson. Lighting: Hunnewell. Arnett and her company of dancers perform a neat trick here. They successfully relate satire through dance. It works. Smart phones, Miley Cyrus, celebrities, believing crass is creativity. It's all here. Masked as celebration, Arnett makes the case for a scathing indictment against modern culture.
"Dying Swan." Choreographer: Nielsen based on the traditional choreography of Mikhail Fokine. Dancer: Haley Sheppard. Costume: Raess-Young. Lighting: Hunnewell. In some ways, this is the most subversive dance in the show. Amidst the Motion Capture animation, video montages, abstract concepts, the big ballroom dances, Nielsen presents a traditional tutu-wearing ballerina performing classical ballet to the music of Saint-Saens' "The Dying Swan." What would have once seemed safe and expected in a dance show has become the bold stroke. Sheppard presents a magnificent performance. Bravo!
"Crystal Ballroom Part II." Dancers: Sharia Stripling, Joshua Barcol, Hannah Kortrey, Andrew Ritfeld, Tehya Malone, Keith Simmons, Alexandra Stewart, Rocky Harris. Choreographer: Nielsen and Montez. Costumes: Raess-Young. Lighting: Hunnewell. A sizzling ballroom dance number set to Rosemary Clooney singing "Sway."
"Groove." Choreographer: Schaeffer. Dancers: DeVante Graham, Jonathan Gray, Kelsey Johnson, Leah Kelly, Ben McGaha, Rachelle Sanford, Tess Buis, Rocky Harris, Hannah Kortrey, ShaDaijah Jackson, Kelsey Johnson, Taylor Singletary, Megan Stewart, Kia Street, Sharia Stripling. A grand finale of emotional loss and personal redemption that combines Schaeffer's seeming recurring theme that for things to come together, they must first be pulled apart.
VSU Repertory Dancers' "On the Edge," part of the VSU Theatre & Dance season, continues 7:30 p.m. today, Saturday, Oct. 4, 5; 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6, Sawyer Theatre, VSU Fine Arts Building, corner of Oak and Brookwood. Tickets, more information: Call (229) 333-5973; or visit www.valdosta.edu/comarts.

The Blueprint: Doug Gilmours vision for the Kingston Frontenacs
by, 05-03-2012 at 14:40 (11010 Views)
Ice hockey has been played in the city of Kingston, Ontario, as far back as 1843. Don Cherry will be quick to tell you that Kingston is the birth place of hockey. The franchise currently known as the Kingston Frontenacs, who play in the Ontario Hockey League have been in existence since 1945 and have also been known as the Canadiens and the Raiders. While Kingston hockey is rich in its history, recent history has not been very prosperous. In fact, the Frontenacs currently own the second longest championship drought in the OHL, and fourth longest in the entire Canadian Hockey League. With the last division title way back in 1995, the team (and the city) has endured season after season of disappointment. Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Doug Gilmour is now the teams General Manager, and his vision for the Frontenacs is one of championships and pride. In order to realize this vision he has a Blueprint.
Image Courtesy: D'Oliveira Photography
Doug Gilmour joined the Kingston Frontenacs in 2008 when he signed a three year contract as the teams head coach. In his final season as head coach, Gilmour and the Fronts finished third in the East and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. After serving three years as the bench boss, he became the GM and hired friend and former Toronto Maple Leaf teammate, Todd Gill to assume the head coaching position, and Darren Keily became both assistant GM and Coach.
Prior to the 2011-2012 season, the newly formed management team held a meeting. Having suffered a disappointing playoff first-round-loss, the team knew they were losing key players such as Eric Gudbranson, Nathan Moon, Ethan Werek, and starting goalie Philipp Grubauer. The team had loaded up on veteran and older players for a playoff run and it didnt work. Now, knowing they would be looking at a massive roster turnover, the decision was made to begin a new era for the franchise.
The first decision was to remove long standing face of the franchise GM Larry Mavety, who was replaced by his good friend Doug Gilmour. President and Governor of the franchise Doug Springer approved Gilmours new vision setting the blueprint into motion. They knew the process would be hard, and at times painful, but it had to be done.
It had to happen because part of the vision is not accepting seasons of modest success. Simply making the playoffs and being quickly dismissed in the early rounds, would no longer be acceptable. While junior hockey is by nature and design a cyclical league, it is possible to achieve consistency. Kingstons consistent seasons of failure are a testament to that. Through hard work, having a strategy that holds the interest of the present and the future in focus, it is possible to consistently produce a winning product as well.
Hiring Todd Gill as the Head Coach was a step in the right direction. He brings a professional approach to hockey. He played over 1,000 career games in the NHL, and played for legends, and Hall of Fame coaches such as Joel Quenville, Mike Babcock, Pat Burns and Scotty Bowman, and he takes lessons from each and every one of them. Gill had been coaching for the previous five years in his home town for the Brockville Braves of the CJHL, which he owns and played for. Gill enjoyed a successful tenure as Coach in Brockville, and plans to continue to coach the way he did there.
Pat Burns once told me dont change your ways, because if you change for somebody and get fired youll be pissed off with yourself for not doing it your way. So Ill continue to do it my way, and hopefully have success doing that. Gill said.
As a rookie coach in the OHL, Gill is learning with his very young team. With the majority of his players under the age of 17, and coming from midget hockey knowing only offense, Gill says; You have to teach them defensive zone coverage, you have to teach them how to play in the Neutral zone, you have to teach them so much, I try to do it in segments. For them to learn the game of hockey there are three zones and you have to get to the point where the Coach trusts that you can play in every situation.
The Coaching staff of the Fronts, are teaching these young players much more than hockey skills. While the core group of the team may be young, Assistant Coach, Darren Keily says, They are good kids, but they need direction to act as professionals.
He uses terms such as respect, work ethic, commitment, and accountability to describe what the attributes of the players of the Frontenacs will learn, and demonstrate. For instance the Fronts players are active in the community as players volunteer to go to public schools and Libraries to help promote reading with young children, as well as many other community event appearances.
In the past the players of the Fronts have at times been less than professional. Former players such as Bryan Fogarty, had struggles with addiction. Fogartys drinking problems when he played with the Kingston Canadiens, were so well know in fact his nick name was Tippy, because he was always tipsy. There have been many players graduate from the ranks in Kingston. Kirk Muller, Chris and Anthony Stewart, Walt Poddubny, Chris Gratton and Bernie Nicholls are some of the more prominent names. Don Cherry is a proud Good Kingston Guy, and the Fronts are determined to groom future NHL players whom the city of Kingston can proudly say, He comes from Kingston. This past season, Keily proudly proclaimed that the team had no off-ice problems, and not a single complaint from any of the billets who house the players. No doubt this will become a trend in the future with the current regime in place.
Having a professional and experienced group lead this young team in the ways of both hockey, and life-lessons, is an important component in the blueprint. But, choosing the right players is equally important. The management group is selective in the players they are willing to draft and acquire through trade. In the past there have been situations where players had refused to report to Kingston. Wes ONeill was selected second overall, but decided to play College hockey instead. Last year Max Domi, son of Tie Domi (Doug Gilmours friend and former teammate) also refused to report. Those days are a thing of the past now says Keily. His response to reports suggesting that top prospect Joshua Ho-Sang, would not report to Kingston 100 percent false! The Domi decision to not report to Kingston had nothing to do with the teams rebuilding, and absolutely nothing to do with the men running the team. It was a geographical preference to be closer to Toronto. Gilmour knew Domi only wanted to play for the London Knights, but by drafting Domi he was able to trade him to London for several second round draft picks. As part of league rules, if a first round pick refuses to report to a team, that team is awarded a compensatory first round pick the following year. As a result, the Kingston Frontenacs now own five picks (two firsts, and three seconds) in the first two rounds of the 2012 Priority Selection Draft.
The Draft will be held on April seventh, and the Fronts will be heading into this draft loaded with picks, and a strategy. The next edition of Blueprint will focus on the Frontenacs at the draft and the players they selected.
Local TV station Cogeco produced a series on the subject also titled The Blueprint with a brief appearance from yours truly!

I'm a Ren (short for Karen) which is exactly the same sound. I like that it's a nickname and that I can choose to go by Karen if I want to It could also be short for Lauren, Florence, Maren, Renee, Renata etc
Anyway, it's definitely usable even though I've never been a fan of the bird version of my name. I've been complimented on it more than once and my friends call me Renny sometimes.
My middle name is Rose. So altogether I'm a Ren Rose.

The Tribune-Democrat
Residents and business owners in and around South Fork Borough are feeling uneasy these days.
No wonder.
The borough and at least one bordering municipality have joined a growing list of communities whose inhabitants' privacy has been violated by burglars.
In many instances this past spring and summer where rashes of break-ins occurred, arrests were made, with entries mostly tied to a small number of individuals working together.
We expect that will
be the case when arrests are made in the latest cases.
In nearly all, burglars were looking for cash or items such as jewelry, TVs and other electronics that easily could be converted into money.
In two stories recently penned by our Randy Griffith, authorities said cash, prescription drugs and jewelry were taken in burglaries over the past few weeks, with the latest over the weekend.
Hit were a church, businesses, homes, clubs and garages. The South Fork News Stand, in the heart of the borough, was targeted twice.
About $1,000 in "Christmas money" was stolen from an upstairs apartment last Wednesday evening while the news stand owners, Ray and Nicolette Edwards, and their family were downstairs celebrating Thanksgiving in their business.
"I had my Thanksgiving dinner downstairs," Mrs. Edwards told Griffith.
"They took advantage of that and broke in upstairs. They must have seen us downstairs."
Mrs. Edwards said there was a break-in attempt last month at their business.
The American Legion post home and VFW also have been targeted, as was a home about two miles outside the borough in Adams Township, although it was not known whether that entry was tied to the borough's.
"People have to know this is happening. People in this town have to lock up everything," Mrs. Edwards said.
We agree.
Borough police and the state police are investigating.
We always have urged law-enforcement officers to alert news media about break-ins, especially when they have happened in bunches and in related manners.
We also continually encourage residents and business owners to ask investigators to alert their neighbors through the media.
People need to be aware to keep doors and windows closed and locked, even during the day when they are at home. They need to be on the lookout for suspicious people and incidents and report these to their police departments.
At the end of the day, it's everyone's job to help arrest these intruders, many of whom are searching for money to finance drug habits.
"This isn't about our police department," one concerned businessman told us. "This is on us as a community to help our neighbors out and be on the lookout for each other."

REDGRANITE, Wis. (AP) -- A Wisconsin man who made a "Hang in there Obama" sign featuring an outline of a noose says he actually supports President Barack Obama.
Thomas Savka tells WLUK-TV that his sign in the east-central Wisconsin town of Redgranite "has nothing to do with color."
Instead, Savka says he wanted to get people's attention. He says "everybody's picking on Obama" and he wanted to convey an attitude of "hang in there, buddy."
Neighbors say the sign is in poor taste.
The Obama campaign released a statement calling the imagery "inappropriate" and saying it "has no place in public discourse around elections."
