Tigers' Smith finding his groove
By CONOR NICHOLL
Junior running back Edward Smith admitted he had "big-time frustration" in the first three games for the Fort Hays State University football team. Smith rushed for minus-2 yards in Week 1, six carries on five yards in Week 2 and 19 yards on three carries and a TD in Week 3. It marked Smith's first action after he missed virtually all of last season and took a redshirt because of a shoulder injury.
Receiving-wise, Smith had four catches for 17 yards, three catches for 16 yards and five catches for 23 yards.
Last Saturday, Smith found the end zone twice on seven touches in a 52-21 road loss to Missouri Western State University, ranked No. 6 in NCAA Division II. Smith finished with four rushes for 15 yards and a TD, and three rushes for 15 yards and a score.
"Probably just me playing a little timid, just me getting back into it," Smith said. "Last week, I kind of let it go a little bit. I feel like there is more to come though."
On Saturday night, Fort Hays (0-4) played host to non-conference William Jewell (Mo.) College, a 1-3 squad from the Great Lakes Valley Conference. Game time was 7 p.m. at Lewis Field Stadium.
Both Edward and senior running back Andre Smith have come back from injuries -- Andre Smith took a medical redshirt last year with a knee injury. Andre Smith leads the Tigers with 257 rushing yards.
He has seen his production up from 23 and 56 yards in the first two weeks to 107 and 71 the last two games.
"Injury is hard to overcome," Edward Smith said. "When you go out there, you just kind of think about it, but after the first couple of hits, you are like, 'I am all right now.' Just kind of go with the flow."
In turn, the improved running game has helped sophomore quarterback Treveon Albert, who has enjoyed his best two games the last two weeks. Fort Hays averaged 4.3 yards per play in Week 1, 5.4 yards in Week 2, 6.1 in Week 3, and 4.0 last week - but had a season-high 24 first downs.
"He is really starting to understand our offense and really starting to get his reads," coach Chris Brown said. "He is maturing."
Edward Smith caught a six-yard pass from Albert for the game's first score. His 15 catches rank second on the team.
"He caught a couple of nice passes, and he can catch the ball very well, he has got nice hands and he runs very well, and he is dangerous in open space," Brown said.
Before this season, Smith had 15 receptions in his career.
"I worked a lot in practice," Smith said. "Everyday, I worked on catching balls with (wideouts) coach (Al) McCray everyday. ... I feel like it would be a big help to this team if we keep throwing the ball to me out of the backfield, anyway we can get me the ball."
In the third quarter, he tacked on the team's final score on a two-yard run.
"We knew exactly what they were going to do," Brown said. "They don't do a lot of different things. They are very simple. We keyed on those things and reading the end and giving him the ball, because he is so fast that he can get to the edge. That is something that we really worked with him and Andre on doing, to get to the edge and getting vertical and scoring points."

Classic stories from Paul Blair
By Craig Muder
The gold ring on his pinkie finger sparkled in the morning sun as Paul Blair signed one autograph after another.
Some remembered Blair as the Gold Glove centerfielder of the 1960s and 70s Baltimore Orioles. Others recalled him as the super-sub on the New York Yankees' title teams of 1977 and 1978.
But all the fans who lined up to purchase tickets for the Hall of Fame Classic on Saturday enjoyed listening to Blair's stories – and eagerly anticipated his appearance in the Father's Day legends game at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown.
Blair, who will join Hall of Famers Gary Carter, Bob Feller, Rollie Fingers, Goose Gossage, Harmon Killebrew, Phil Niekro and Ozzie Smith at the June 20 Classic, posed for pictures and signed balls and caps for fans waiting to purchase tickets at the Baseball Hall of Fame. The four-time World Series champion was easily identifiable with his 1978 World Series ring, but admitted that the 1966 title he won as a member of the Orioles is his favorite baseball memory.
"We beat the Dodgers, not by scoring a bunch of runs but by playing winning baseball," said Blair, an eight-time Gold Glove centerfielder. "We shut them out for the final 33 innings of that World Series because our pitchers had two goals when they went to the mound: Don't walk anyone, and keep the ball in the ballpark. They knew if they did that, we'd make the plays behind them."
Blair's fifth-inning home run in Game 3 of the 1966 World Series provided the only run in a 1-0 Orioles' win, putting Baltimore up 3-games-to-0 and effectively clinching the Series. He would finish his 17-year big league career with two All-Star Game appearances and more than 1,500 hits. Only seven players have ever won more Gold Gloves for their outfield play.
This summer, however, Blair expects to man the infield at the Hall of Fame Classic on Father's Day.
"I started as an infielder, and that's where I'm playing now," said the 66-year-old Blair, who today carries a six handicap on the golf course. "I'm looking forward to coming back in June."
Participants the Hall of Fame's Membership Program can purchase tickets for the June 20 Hall of Fame Classic exclusively through March 28 by calling 1-866-849-7770 or visiting www.baseballhall.org. For more information about becoming a Member, please visit http://www.baseballhall.org.
Any tickets remaining on March 29 will be made available to the general public.
Craig Muder is director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Squadmates confirmed for the game include Garrus, Liara and, depending on a choice made in Mass Effect 1, Kaiden or Ashley, with Wrex, Mordin, Legion and Anderson to also appear as non-party members – that's assuming everyone's still alive after your adventures in ME1 and ME2.
Zarengo wrote:Well, they took Liara out in the second one, decision that bothered many.
I HOPE she stays throughout all 3 games like Garrus.
Zarengo wrote:Yea... I have the DLC.
In response to the frustration of the many who wanted her in the second one they decided to add her in the DLC.
But that's that, I just want Tali to make it in the 3rd as a PERMANENT teammate.

5 Crimes Against Coffee
Blue Bottle Coffee shops in San Francisco and New York are famous for serving phenomenal house-roasted coffee, prepared using meticulous methods. But founder James Freeman maintains that if home brewers just avoid common mistakes, it doesnt take much to brew a great cup at home. "People think its so hard and difficult, but just a few simple things can really make a big difference," he says. Here, Freeman explains how to bypass the five worst crimes against coffee. Given his perfectionism, chances are youre committing several of them.
Photo Credit Food & Wine
More from Food & Wine
"Make sure you choose a coffee with a roast date, not a 'best by' date. Preferably, that date should be no longer than a week ago. Then use it up, share it with friends, or buy smaller bags so you move through it quickly. Sometimes lightly roasted coffee can be good for a couple of weeks after opening, but in general, fresher is better."
"Buy whole-bean coffee. Ground coffee gets stale really easily. Buying a grinder just isnt that hard: Its not that expensive, and doesnt take that long. If youre doing the pulse-and-shake method on a cheapo blade grinder, I think youre still better off than buying pre-ground coffee thats been sitting in a bag for a week or God knows how long. And there are better options that are getting cheaper Hario, Porlex, Zassenhaus and Baratza make some good grinders that are not that expensive."
"Dont buy a coffee pot with a plug. If youre going to make coffee, make it yourself. Theres the symbolic layer: Do you want to entrust something so important to a machine? And then theres the brass tacks layer, which is that almost every machine doesnt make very good coffee. I love the shininess, the slipperiness, the cleanness of a good pour-over made with a paper filter or a cloth filter."
"Dont rely on your eye, and dont rely on volumetric measurements theyre just not accurate. Buy a gram scale and weigh your coffee, weigh your water. Youre going to be so much more in control of your brewing ratio."
"Dont buy a national brand if you can help it. Were lucky enough that a lot of people want to have our coffee shipped, but I think more and more, people are opening up little roasteries and doing interesting things. Youll be less apt to see coffee as a commodity, and more apt to see it as something thats precious and has been meticulously cared for, from when its grown far away to when it arrives in your cup."

Barry Callebaut's unique Cocoart™ Collection: all-natural, E-number free printing designs with cocoa powders
- Natural designs: the result of synergy between the authority of Bensdorp® in high quality cocoa powder and IBC's expertise in prints for food applications
- In this breakthrough innovation, cocoa powders are used as colorings
- Unique feature: The color red, now completely E-number free
Wieze, Belgium/Frankfurt, Germany – November 19, 2013 – Barry Callebaut, the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality chocolate and cocoa products, today officially launched its unique Cocoart™ Collection – a new range of 100% natural, E-number free printing designs made from the company's Bensdorp® cocoa powders. The breakthrough innovation was also nominated in the category "Confectionery Innovation of the Year" at the sixth edition of this year's Food Ingredients Europe (FIE) Excellence Awards. The Cocoart™ Collection was created by combining the best of two worlds: the authority of Bensdorp® in high quality cocoa powders and the printing technology expertise of IBC, part of the Barry Callebaut Group.
The cocoa powders used as colorings have been obtained by patented cocoa processing (patent number WO 2009/093030). This innovation answers to the growing demand for clean labels and is, above all, opening a new area: 100 % E-number free colored designs.
Today, consumers desire not only authentic but also natural food. They attentively read ingredient labels, demanding no additives, no preservatives and no E-numbers.
Easily recognizable ingredients influence the product choice of many consumers[1] creating opportunities for completely natural, E-free solutions. The Cocoart™ Collection is a result of the continued quest Barry Callebaut undertakes to find natural chocolate alternatives.
"Barry Callebaut is the only player in the market able to produce and offer E-number free designs based on cocoa, printed on transfer sheets or rolls for food applications. Revolutionary element in the collection is the world's first natural, e-number free red color. Therefore the Cocoart™ Collection holds a unique position on the market", Sofie De Lathouwer, Marketing Director FM Western Europe, explains.
The E-number free designs in the Cocoart™ Collection offer the same color stability as traditional food dyes. The color palette ranges from light brown to black and from purple to deep unique red, all depending on the specific mixture of Bensdorp® cocoa powders used. Printed on sheets or rolls, any desired logo or message can easily be applied to any food application.
Unique in the Cocoart™ Collection is the fact that the color red is completely E-number free. Red never looked more seductive: 100% cocoa powder, 100% natural. The Cocoart™ Collection is just the start of a big growing assortment of customized or standardized designs that are all-natural and E-Number free.
Whether it comes to trendy, classic or seasonal style, IBC offers an unlimited flexibility in applying different designs on a wide range of food applications in bakery, confectionery and ice cream. From chocolates to cookies, from viennoiserie to ice cream: all these products can benefit from an all-natural, handmade or traditional look.

Innovative and surprisingly powerful STIHL Lithium-Ion battery-powered chainsaw.
Gray, GA
Now here's a game changer in chainsaws. Lightweight. Powerful. Easy to start. Quiet. With no mixing. No cords. And almost no sound. (Your neighbors will love this saw as much as you do.) And that's just for starters. The STIHL MSA 160 C-BQ is the first cordless chainsaw tough enough to carry the name STIHL. Powered by a STIHL Lithium-Ion battery, this little workhorse starts instantly, delivering 36 volts of power from its commercial-grade, high-torque brushless motor. Enough power to take on just about any cutting job in your yard. And the Quick Chain Adjuster allows you to adjust the chain tension without tools for added convenience. Each charge of the AP 180 Lithium-Ion battery gives you up to 40 minutes of cutting time for storm cleanup, carpentry tasks and firewood cutting.
Discover for yourself some of the features that make these gasoline-powered chainsaws ideal for around-the-home use:
- STIHL manufactures its own saw chain for optimal performance and compatibility with your STIHL chainsaw. Swiss-made STIHL OILOMATIC® Saw Chain is pre-stretched before it leaves the factory, which helps eliminate excessive stretching during the break-in period, reducing maintenance time and component wear.
- Our Ematic™ Bar Lubrication System delivers proper lubrication while reducing oil usage by up to 50%.
- The Automatic Bar and Chain Oiler allows the operator to concentrate on cutting rather than bar and chain lubrication.
- The Electronic Ignition provides dependable and easier starting along with smoother running and performance.
- STIHL chain saws feature an Anti-vibration System to help reduce operator fatigue and improve comfort.
- The STIHL Quickstop® Chain Brake System is designed to stop the chain in fractions of a second and can be activated manually or by inertia if the kickback force is sufficient.
- The Translucent Fuel Tank allows the operator to easily check the fuel level before starting work while the Balanced Fuel and Oil Tank are designed to make sure you run out of fuel before you run out of bar oil, thus extending the life of the saw chain.
- The Front Handle is designed for a secure grip and is ergonomically angled for comfort.
- Front and Rear Hand Guards are designed to reduce the risk of injury.
- Bumper Spikes help prevent pull-in and provide better control, making cutting easier.
- An All-position Carburetor allows the engine to run at full power in any approved operational position.
- A Combination Wrench/Screwdriver is supplied, providing convenient adjustments to the saw.
- The Chain Catcher helps reduce the risk of operator contact by a chain if it should break or derail.
- Features like Heavy-duty Centrifugal Clutches, High-pressure Alloy Die Castings and STIHL-designed Cylinders help provide durable, long-lasting wear.
- Homeowners will also enjoy lightweight High-tech Polymer Housings for greater impact resistance, as well as Easy-to-Access Air Filters and Protected Spark Plugs.
- The Spark Arrester Muffler is designed to reduce noise levels and the emission of sparks.
- The Smooth Clean Design has no rough edges to snag on clothing or brush.

Model Features
Reduced-Emission Engine Technology - Caring for Nature
The STIHL Inc. "Caring for Nature" seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines "low exhaust emissions" as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards. -
Ematic™ Lubrication System
The Ematic™ guide bar when used with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain will provide proper lubrication and less oil consumption than conventional methods. The system works because two ramps, strategically placed in the guide bar rail, help contain the flow of oil and direct all lubrication to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links as well as the rivets and driver holes, which in turn can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%. -
STIHL Electric Motor
Lightweight and compact, STIHL electric motors require minimal maintenance and feature low noise levels and reduced vibration.
Standard Features
Quick Chain Adjuster (QCA) (B)
The Quick Chain Adjuster (QCA) (B) allows the user to adjust the tension of the chain without the use of tools. This allows for easy chain adjustment.

STIHL Quickstop® Plus (Q) - an additional chain braking feature
STIHL offers an additional, manually-activated chain brake on some models. This system is designed to engage when the operator's right hand completely releases the rear handle, stopping the chain within one second. Available on some models.
See it in action! -
STIHL Quickstop®
STIHL chain saws are equipped with a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. It is called a STIHL Quickstop® chain brake. The STIHL Quickstop® chain brake is designed to stop the rotation of the chain if activated by the operator's hand or by inertia if the saw kicks back with sufficient force. In some working positions, the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake can be activated by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.

Don't let friction cut down your chainsaw's performance. STIHL bar and chain oil is specially formulated to adhere to your chainsaw's bar and chain, providing optimal lubrication.

For extended landscaping tasks, the STIHL AP 180 Lithium-Ion battery is designed to deliver consistently long run times with no fades or "brown outs." The unique design of this 36-volt powerhouse keeps even the most demanding tools of the STIHL Battery Kombi line running at full speed until it's depleted – no gradual drops in power. And the LED charge display lets you know just how much juice you have to work with, so you don't get caught in the middle of a job. The AP 180 weighs a mere 3.8 lbs. and can be charged hundreds of times without any noticeable loss in capacity. Even after 500 charges, the battery retains over 80% capacity.

if you use/write sessions you need to do this before:
(otherwise it does not work)
and if wanted:
instead of ignore_user_abort();
Internally in PHP a connection status is maintained. There are 4 possible states:
When a PHP script is running normally, the NORMAL state is active. If the remote client disconnects, the ABORTED state flag is turned on. A remote client disconnect is usually caused by the user hitting his STOP button. If the PHP-imposed time limit (see set_time_limit()) is hit, the TIMEOUT state flag is turned on.
You can decide whether or not you want a client disconnect to cause
your script to be aborted. Sometimes it is handy to always have your
scripts run to completion even if there is no remote browser receiving
the output. The default behaviour is however for your script to be
aborted when the remote client disconnects. This behaviour can be
set via the ignore_user_abort php.ini directive as well as through
the corresponding php_value ignore_user_abort Apache
httpd.conf directive or
with the ignore_user_abort() function. If you do
not tell PHP to ignore a user abort and the user aborts, your script
will terminate. The one exception is if you have registered a shutdown
function using register_shutdown_function(). With a
shutdown function, when the remote user hits his STOP button, the
next time your script tries to output something PHP will detect that
the connection has been aborted and the shutdown function is called.
This shutdown function will also get called at the end of your script
terminating normally, so to do something different in case of a client
disconnect you can use the connection_aborted()
function. This function will return TRUE
if the connection was
Your script can also be terminated by the built-in script timer. The default timeout is 30 seconds. It can be changed using the max_execution_time php.ini directive or the corresponding php_value max_execution_time Apache httpd.conf directive as well as with the set_time_limit() function. When the timer expires the script will be aborted and as with the above client disconnect case, if a shutdown function has been registered it will be called. Within this shutdown function you can check to see if a timeout caused the shutdown function to be called by calling the connection_status() function. This function will return 2 if a timeout caused the shutdown function to be called.
One thing to note is that both the ABORTED and the TIMEOUT states can be active at the same time. This is possible if you tell PHP to ignore user aborts. PHP will still note the fact that a user may have broken the connection, but the script will keep running. If it then hits the time limit it will be aborted and your shutdown function, if any, will be called. At this point you will find that connection_status() returns 3.

(otherwise it does not work)
and if wanted:
instead of ignore_user_abort();
Closing the users browser connection whilst keeping your php script running has been an issue since 4.1, when the behaviour of register_shutdown_function() was modified so that it would not automatically close the users connection.
sts at mail dot xubion dot hu
Posted the original solution:
header("Connection: close");
header("Content-Length: $size");
error_log("do something in the background");
Which works fine until you substitute phpinfo() for
echo ('text I want user to see'); in which case the headers are never sent!
The solution is to explicitly turn off output buffering and clear the buffer prior to sending your header information.
header("Connection: close");
ignore_user_abort(); // optional
echo ('Text the user will see');
$size = ob_get_length();
header("Content-Length: $size");
ob_end_flush(); // Strange behaviour, will not work
flush(); // Unless both are called !
// Do processing here
echo('Text user will never see');
Just spent 3 hours trying to figure this one out, hope it helps someone :)
Tested in:
Mozilla Firefox 1.81
I had a lot of problems getting a redirect to work, after which my script was intended to keep working in the background. The redirect to another page of my site simply would only work once the original page had finished processing.
I finally found out what was wrong:
The session only gets closed by PHP at the very end of the script, and since access to the session data is locked to prevent more than one page writing to it simultaneously, the new page cannot load until the original processing has finished.
Close the session manually when redirecting using session_write_close():
$strURL = "PUT YOUR REDIRCT HERE";
header("Location: $strURL", true);
header("Connection: close", true);
header("Content-Encoding: none\r\n");
header("Content-Length: 0", true);
// Continue processing...
But careful:
Make sure that your script doesn't write to the session after session_write_close(), i.e. in your background processing code. That won't work. Also avoid reading, remember, the next script may already have modified the data.
So try to read out the data you need prior to redirecting.
hey, thanks to arr1, and it is very useful for me, when I need to return to the user fast and then do something else.
When using the codes, it nearly drive me mad and I found another thing that may affect the codes:
Content-Encoding: gzip
This is because the zlib is on and the content will be compressed. But this will not output the buffer until all output is over.
So, it may need to send the header to prevent this problem.
now, the code becomes:
header("Connection: close\r\n");
header("Content-Encoding: none\r\n");
ignore_user_abort(true); // optional
echo ('Text user will see');
$size = ob_get_length();
header("Content-Length: $size");
ob_end_flush(); // Strange behaviour, will not work
flush(); // Unless both are called !
//do processing here
echo('Text user will never see');
//do some processing
PHP changes directory on connection abort so code like this will not do what you want:
function abort()
actually it will delete file in apaches's root dir so if you want to unlink file in your script's dir on abort or write to it you have to store directory
function abort()
global $dsd;
These functions are very useful for example if you need to control when a visitor in your website place an order and you need to check if he/she didn't clicked the submit button twice or cancelled the submit just after have clicked the submit button.
If your visitor click the stop button just after have submitted it, your script may stop in the middle of the process of registering the products and do not finish the list, generating inconsistency in your database.
With the ignore_user_abort() function you can make your script finish everything fine and after you can check with register_shutdown_function() and connection_aborted() if the visitor cancelled the submission or lost his/her connection. If he/she did, you can set the order as not confirmed and when the visitor came back, you can present the old order again.
Note that if you use ob_start("callback_function") in the begin of your script, you can specify a callback function that will act like the shutdown function when our script ends and also will let you to work on the generated page before send it to the visitor.
I was quite stuck when trying to make my script redirect the client to another URL and then continue processing. The reason was php-fpm. All possible buffer flushes did not work, unless I called fastcgi_finish_request();
For example:
// redirecting...
header("Location: ".$redirectUrl, true);
header("Connection: close", true);
header("Content-Length: 0", true);
fastcgi_finish_request(); // important when using php-fpm!
sleep (5); // User won't feel this sleep because he'll already be away
// do some work after user has been redirected
This simple function outputs a string and closes the connection. It considers compression using "ob_gzhandler"
It took me a little while to put this all together, mostly because setting the encoding to none, as some people noted here, didn't work.
function outputStringAndCloseConnection2($stringToOutput)
// buffer all upcoming output - make sure we care about compression:
echo $stringToOutput;
// get the size of the output
$size = ob_get_length();
// send headers to tell the browser to close the connection
header("Content-Length: $size");
header('Connection: close');
// flush all output
// close current session
if (session_id()) session_write_close();
The point mentioned in the last comment isn't always the case.
If a user's connection is lost half way through an order processing script is confirming a user's credit card/adding them to a DB, etc (due to their ISP going down, network trouble... whatever) and your script tries to send back output (such as, "pre-processing order" or any other type of confirmation), then your script will abort -- and this could cause problems for your process.
I have an order script that adds data to a InnoDB database (through MySQL) and only commits the transactions upon successful completion. Without ignore_user_abort(), I have had times when a user's connection dropped during the processing phase... and their card was charged, but they weren't added to my local DB.
So, it's always safe to ignore any aborts if you are processing sensitive transactions that should go ahead, whether your user is "watching" on the other end or not.
connection_status() return ABORTED state ONLY if the client disconnects gracefully (with STOP button). In this case the browser send the RST TCP packet that notify PHP the connection is closed.
But.... If the connection is stopped by networs troubles (wifi link down by exemple) the script doesn't know that the client is disconnected :(
I've tried to use fopen("php://output") with stream_select() on writting to detect write locks (due to full buffer) but php give me this error : "cannot represent a stream of type Output as a select()able descriptor"
So I don't know how to detect correctly network trouble connection...

The third show in the 2013 Asolo Repertory Theatre's theme of "The American Character" was aptly chosen. With the "pursuit of happiness" at the core of this 1989 Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning play, it's as fresh and clear a cry as the first fictional Heidi yodeling for her freedom in the cool, crisp Alpine air.
This production of "The Heidi Chronicles" is entertaining, thought-provoking and relevant. The dialogue is both witty and whimsical, the characterizations both classic and comical. The acting is superbly enthusiastic with each actor totally synchronized to his part. Considered Wendy Wasserstein's greatest play, Laura Kepley directs. Michael Clark designed the video projections, and Matt Parker designed the sound, which includes popular music to enhance each scene.
The post World War II baby boomer generation has seen more changes in the social status of women than any other in history. The phrase "can women have it all" referred to post '50s-era women who wanted both a career and a family. But, as to actually "having it all," the question remains unsettled, just as the Equal Rights Amendment, guaranteeing lack of discrimination against women, remains ungratified to this day, with Florida being among the states that have refused to sign. Congress first passed the ERA in 1972, almost 50 years after women won the right to vote. The ERA still hasn't been set into the constitution 40 years later.
As we watch Heidi, quite nicely played by Elizabeth King-Hall, wind her way up the treacherous trail of womanhood, during the gender-bending '60s, '70s and '80s, we get some of what it must feel like to herd goats along with you. Some of the goats include terrific performances by Gail Rastorfer as Susan Johnston, Brian Sills as Peter Patrone and Zachary Fine as Scoop Rosenbaum.
Is it still more difficult to get to the top of one's chosen career as a woman? Statistically, yes. Are men less inclined to marry women more successful or smarter than themselves? Statistically, yes. Is it just as difficult to raise children as a single woman? Statistically, yes. Well, then, what's a girl to do if she wants true love, children and her chosen career? The answer is: Get lucky! Are we, more than 300 years since the Declaration of Independence, getting closer to true equality at last? Well, yes, finally closer, but there? Not yet.

Has anyone heard the part of the Hill Abduction wherein Barney is supposed to have said that one of the abductors was a Nazi. Clearly whoever it was they weren't a Grey. They must have at least looked human. And to be identified in that way it must have been clear to Barney.
How about the story where someone is talking to Werner von Braun and they ask him how the Germans were able to advance technology so quickly. His response: "We had help...from them." as he motions towards a pile of extraterrestrial related reports. Now a typical answer would be "Then why didn't they give the Nazi ray guns?" To me that would mean they wanted their presence known. Perhaps anytime humanity is said to have recieved help from aliens it wasn't in a way that would drastically advance human. But just slight nudge them along.
Then there's the true story behind "The Bell." Whatever the answer is. I read that it had Mercury in it and glowed. So someone in Germany at least read about Vimanas and said "Hey let's try that!" or they had help and von Braun supposedly said.
And if you really want to take a stretch there's the Nazis going to Antartica to find the underground aliens thing. I don't believe the Earth is Hollow but maybe there's some truth to habitable areas underground and the story was distorted, resulting in the Hollow Earth stuff.
Anyway, what are anyone else's thoughts? Anything I missed?

Bloggers Quilt Festival Spring 2011
41 comments:
Hi Amy! Just wanted to say hi, and that I really enjoy your blog and can't wait to meet you in person at the Sewing Summit in October (I just registered!). I'm from Denver and am good friends with Melissa Lawrence of Mel's Own Place, who I think you know since she's from Salt Lake. We work together at a local quilt shop. Anywho, I just started a blog of my own- stitcherydickorydock.blogspot.com. Nothing fancy yet, but I'm trying, and so inspired by yours! Loved your pix and commentary from Market. One day I hope to go myself! Take care!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a fabulous job on the quilting, the design and color selection for this quilt. I truly love it! Improv quilting is my favorite these days. It's so nice to see how it comes together.
It was so nice meeting you this past weekend --and I agree, there just wasn't enough time to sit and talk with everyone ;)Love this quilt, the colours and design are great, it really shows off the gorgeous fabrics. I know exactly what you mean about doing your own quilting, I don't feel competent, can't be bothered or I'm terrified of ruining something that I've put a lot of work into. I'm so pleased you gave it a go as it looks fabulous.
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam.

After the EA Press Conference on day 0 of E3, EA gave us a chance to play Battlefield: Hardline before the convention even kicked off. We got to play the new Blood Money mode as the criminals, and here's a short rundown of our experiences.
The basic idea behind the mode is this: you and the cops are facing off on opposite sides of a cash pile after a botched heist. The cops are trying to get the cash to a safe house while the criminals are trying to get it to a getaway vehicle. It's your job to clean out the money pile before they do.
The money pile is situated in the middle of the map, between the "bases" of the cops and criminals. If you can manage to get to the money pile, you can spend time gathering money. The more money you gather, the slower you run when trying to get it back to your base.
On the surface, the mode kind of plays like a two way capture the flag. You'll take some cash from the center point and run it to your base, and if someone kills you they can pick up the money that you were carrying. However, there is another catch to this mode which makes it incredibly fun. You can actually steal cash from an opponent's base, not just the cash pile. Doing so obviously reduces their cash pile and if you can get it back to your base it will increase yours. Even better, you can just steal their cash and suicide to prevent them from picking it up.
In fact, suicide ended up being a huge part of the gameplay. Did the opponent get a stranglehold on your vault? No problem. Crash a van into it and all of them will die at once. Enemy's closing in on the money pile? Climb into a sedan and run them over. If fact, vehicles seemed like an awesome balancing factor for gameplay overall. Your team has a cache of vehicles that you simply spawn with every so often, allowing you to gain back ground. Lagging behind? No problem! Climb into a chopper and take to the air! About to die? Make sure that you crash right into your enemies' base.
There were four classes that we got to try out: the professional, the mechanic, the operator, and the enforcer. The professional is your standard sniping class, effective at taking people out at long range, and also having a couple bonuses to grabbing cash. The mechanic is your standard vehicle class, deadly in a sedan or a chopper, and carrying an SMG. The enforcer is your standard heavy class, toting an assault rifle, and best on his feet. Finally, the operator is your support class, with healing abilities, cover abilities, and more.
Overall, the shooting wasn't all that different from Battlefield 4. While the game modes felt incredibly different, the guns and the maneuverability felt exactly the same as any other Battlefield game. That's not necessarily a bad thing though. It's not like EA reinvented the wheel here. Anyone who has played Battlefield before will be able to hop right in to Battlefield: Hardline without any problem.
Another interesting feature of the game is "cash to spend" which you earn as you play the game. This is basically cash that you can use to alter and change up your load-out. It's not all that different from other FPS load-out mechanics, but something feels undeniably… Counter-Strike about it. I felt a lot of nostalgia as every single kill, every single piece of cash grabbed gave me a little bit of cash to make myself a bit stronger.
The maps in Battlefield: Hardline are incredibly destructible, just like Battlefield 4. In the maps we saw, we were able to bring down a crane that took down the sides of two separate sidescrapers. Simply crashing vehicles into buildings also destroys elements of the environment, and that too can be used to your advantage. Are enemies sniping you from an overpass? Ramp a car into it!
We also got a small opportunity to try out Heist mode, which was probably the more interesting of the two modes showcased. Blood Money was traditional and symmetrical, whereas Heist is totally asymmetrical. The criminals need to break into a location in order to steal a cache of money. Straightforward players can fire explosives right into the side of a building to take it down, while crafty players can sneak in through basements and windows. Cops, on the other hand, had to arrest every member of the opposing team. This felt very interesting and unique and will probably be the main method of play.
The only problems that we saw so far came in the spawning system. As before, you can spawn up on one of your teammates. However it is really hard to tell what your teammates are doing at the time. Perhaps they are in the middle of a firefight, or sometimes they are in a crashing vehicle. Either way, I frequently found myself spawning just to die from my team-mates actions.
That didn't prevent me from having fun with the game though. Overall Battlefield: Hardline feels new, different, and innovative, and most importantly absolutely nothing like the upcoming Call of Duty. It is about time for these two mammoths of the FPS world to diverge from the standard military feel, and it looks like they finally have.

PORTSMOUTH — Opponents that are smaller, quicker and can knock down shots from the outside have given the Portsmouth High School girls basketball team problems this season.
Portsmouth senior center Alicia Brown scored 10 points in the first half, but also picked up three fouls. She was limited to three points on five shot attempts in the second half. Christina Jones, Devon Parker and Abby Salvadore scored 10 points apiece for the Clippers.
"They work hard on free-throw shooting throughout the season and it carries over into games," Mason said. "I can't say enough about the way they responded. They stay composed and realized there was still time on the clock to do what we needed to do offensively."
"We know everyone is taller than us," Mason said. "We decided to try our best to have weak-side help on (Brown) and our guards put a lot of pressure on their guards. Our team defense made the difference in the second half." |

How long after breast cancer treatment is it safe to become pregnant? Will the hormones of pregnancy increase the risk of my cancer coming back?
Kevin Fox, MD, Medical Oncologist at Penn , responds:
First, the hormonal situation during pregnancy does not appear to increase the risk of cancer coming back. Second, there is no agreed-upon interval from diagnosis to a "safe" time to get pregnant. In general, we recommend that patients wait two years at least before conceiving. Consider discussing your case with a breast cancer specialist.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat. Series, View the Life After Breast Cancer transcript.
Mar 23, 2012 - Women who have been diagnosed with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer can safely become pregnant without increasing the risk of recurrence, according to a study presented at the annual European Breast Cancer Conference, held from March 21 to 24 in Vienna.

I was surprised how much I loved going to an all women's school. You are really able to get down to work and create strong and lasting bonds with fellow classmates. There is a real sense of camaraderie that I was able to feel at Moore that I don't think I would have necessarily found at a co-ed school.
I had several internships while at Moore: a merchandising internship at Staff International, a design internship with Betsey Johnson Kids, and a woven design internship at Anthopologie directly after graduating. All internships, good or bad, are essential to help understand the working world and help fully recognize what you want out of it.
My line, I Still Love You NYC, features women's ready-to-wear clothing, jewelry and accessories focusing on one-of-a-kind and small run designs made with remnant fabrics and salvaged materials. The line straddles three main themes: organic lines, hard edges and overall wearability. The main objective is to deliver clothing and jewelry that have a timeless elegance and cutting edge ferocity to women who know exactly what they want and how to get it.

useful~And it is convenient using this tool named sourceInsight Scan for scanning c/cpp in sourceInsight with cppcheck
Immense help
Quite interesting. How can I enable experimental features like: "switchCaseFallThrough"
Great tool which helped me a lot to find errors, code cleaner and optimize different things. With it's useful hints and examples on the issues it found i learned some things about c++ that i was not aware of before (and many others when i look at their code). I use it regularly because the benefits are great.
Just reflected on some reviews after compiling cppcheck with the latest mingw 4.8, as it builds from 25% to in my best case, 300% faster and more stable executables compared with "API drone msvc" There is some problems with the path interpreting procedures, mainly because the app have been under the bad influence of msvc conventions. The best remedy would be to use QT creator for all coding and abandon Visualstudio, and its portability corruption altogether Otherwise it's a promising project where some features work very good

9 The college News VOL. XL, NO. 3 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1943 Copyright, Trusted of Bryn M�wr ColUg-. 1943 PRICE 10 CENTS Chan to Discuss The Human Spirit In Art of Orient Lectures on Chinese Cul- ture are First in Gift Series of Class of '97 Mr. Wing-Tsit Chan, Professor of Chinese Culture at Dartmouth College, will open a series of lec- tures on oriental civilization with five lectures on the theme of "The Spirit of Man in Chinese Culture." ^'Rhythmic Vitality �in Chinese Art" will be the subject of the first talk to be given in Goodhart Hall on October 16 at 8.30. An Oriental scholar and philos- opher, Mr. Chan took his bachel- or's degree at Lingnan University and his master's degree and doc- torate in philosophy at Harvard. In 1929 Mr. Chan returned to Lingnan where he became Dean of the Faculty and was Professor of Philosophy until 1936. He has held other positions in Chinese Univer- sities as Lecturer of Philos- ophy at National Sun Yat Sen Un- iversity and Lecturer in Aesthe- tics at the Institute of Drama in Canton. He was also a professor of Chinese Philosophy and Insti- tutions, University of Hawaii. Mr. Chan has been at Dartmouth Col- lege since 1942. Chinese Delegate As the Chinese delegate to many educational conferences, he at- tended the World Federation of Educational Associations Confer- ence in Geneva and the Far Eas- tern Higher Educational Confer- ence in Manila. He was also a delegate to the Institute of Pacific Relations Conference and is a member of the China-Philippines Committee. Mr. Chan's lectures at Bryn Mawr will be the first in a series which is the gift of the class of 1897 given to the college last spring. Lectures on Russia and Japan are planned for a later date. Language Technique Approved by Gilman Common Room, October 12. Stressing the importance of a purely oral approach to a lan- guage and the use of a native speaker combined with a trained linguist, Miss Gilman discussed the new "intensive method" of teaching languages. Her lecture was based on the trip she took to the University of Wisconsin this summer to study the technique as it was practiced in the training of an Army Language and Area group. The important features of this method, she said, are first, that it is essential to learn to speak a language before writing it. To do this, a larger portion of the stud- ent's time, eight hours a week in- stead of three, must be devoted to the task. The third aspect is the use of a native "informant" com- bined with an experienced teacher to analyze the sentences of the in- formant. Miss Gilman's interest in the method is its practicability to civ- ilian teaching. Some of the prin- ciples have already been applied to the elementary course in French here at Bryn Mawr. The most important factor, she feels, is the oral approach to the language. The number of hours to be devoted to the course should be a compromise between three and eight. Wing-Tsit Chan '43 Makes its Mark; Wares Predominate In Service Branches Delving into the whereabouts of the class of 1943 reveals that they have not been idle. According to current tabulation there are seven WAVES and one WAC, a Wash- ington group, and concentrated areas of Bryn Mawr in Philadel- phia and New York. Geographi- cally they range from Mexico near- ly to Algiers. The official Class Baby is Alis- oun Kuhn, born on July 9th, the daughter of Sally Jacobs Kuhn. Other members of the class who Continued on Page i First College Counci Considers Red Qross Topics of Assemblies The Deanery, October 6: The possibility of a Red Cross room on campus and suggestions for War Alliance assemblies were the main topics of discussion at the first College Council meeting of the year. With the assistance of Shipley, Baldwin, and Harcum, a Red Cross room would be established in Good- hart for rolling bandages. Objec- tions raised to such a plan were the relative usefulness of such work and whether the enrollment would be sufficient to warrant the necessary arrangements. It was decided to see how many students would be interested in bandage rolling before continuing specific plans. A definite hour for the assem- blies has not been decided. Under the present system no opportunity for discussion is afforded. In dis- cussing topics, Mrs. Manning stat- ed that some faculty felt that the subjects of the lectures should deal more with national problems. In current event talks the Alli- ance this year-plans to have under- graduate and graduate speakers as well as faculty. Miss Lenore Blum, graduate representative, suggested that the graduate dis- cussion groups merge with the undergraduate this year. Bertrand Russell Reviews Principles Of Interference in Logic of Induction Bertrand Russell Spontaneous Wyndhamite Bucket Brigade Puts Out Own Soap Barrel Conflagration By Virginia Belle Reed, '44 Every year there is a fire on campus, and lest you should have some uneasy moments about this, we wish to tell you that this year's fire is over; Wyndham had it. We shall tell you the strange tale of its appearance and the almost equally mysterious circumstances of its disappearance last Wednes- day night. The first sign of this notorious conflagration occurred in the sit- ting room of the French House. People were gathered around the couch poking the pillows experi- mentally and sniffing the air for smoke. Franny Parrish announc- ed that one corner was definitely wanner than the other, but that was to be suspected�she'd been sitting on it for some time. Mean- while the sniffing increased and an undeniable evidence of fire (i. e. smoke) led others out to the hall. There on a soap-powder barrel looking exceedingly dramatic and very, very dangerous, sat a large pile of briskly burning papers. Hilly Dunn peered at it with near- sighted interest and announced authoritatively, "This 3oesn't look quite natural." The hubbub increased, the walls were being blackened by the blaz- ing papers, and maids who slept nearby appeared in various stages of deshabile to investigate the fur- or. It was then 11.30. A bucket brigade poured great quantities of water from every Tryouts The restrictions against Freshmen working on the News have been lifted, and tryouts for all Freshmen interested are being held this Thursday at 1:30 in the News room in Good- hart. Purpose of Poetry Explained by Auden By April Oursler, '46 "The brutal truth about teach- ing is that the most effective way to show someone something is to refuse to show them," said W. H. Auden as he attempted to explain the purpose of his new course here and the purpose of poetry in general. "I don't know what you are going to get out of the course �that's up to you," he went on to say. "I'm here to find out some more about art for myself." He certainly does not mean to conceivable vessel in Wyndham, turn out a clag8 of pro8pective and somebody must have phoned poets, and anyone who asks him whether they should write or not the fire department, but it seemed that this magnificent event was slated to go unnoticed, doomed to cruel obscurity . . . nothing hap- pened. The telephone rang. It was Miss Howe, who was promptly asked if she were calling about the fire. She affirmed this wild guess with "Yes, yes, yes," and asked if Mme. Dony had everything under control. They informed her that oh yes, indeed she had, and went to waken her. Much later the sirens rang. The inmates of Wyndham smiled with pleased glee; this was about THEIR FIRE. But poor Denbigh Continued on Page i Wright Gives Details Of Chemistry Career By Ruth Alice Davis, *44 "I'm a chemical meeting fan," she said, "that is, I like to go and meet all the chemists!" Miss Mary Elizabeth Wright, the new- ly appointed lecturer in Organic Chemistry, was far more eager to tell us all about the loot of sam- ples and gifts she carried away from chemical meetings than to give us the details of her life his- tory. Along with other graduate students from Bryn Mawr, Miss Wright acted as an assistant at a chemical society meeting in At- lantic City, hi "They gave us nylon stockings, perfume, and even a five-dollar box of vitamin pills," she said. "We took the pills to use during our exams in the fall�maybe that's why we passed," Miss Wright was graduated from Barnard College in 1939, and received her M. A. and Ph.D. at Bryn Mawr, in '40 and '43 respec- Continutd from Page i will receive an unconditional "No" for an answer. If you are going to write, he said, you won't have to ask someone else's advice be- fore starting. Literature courses are the worst possible preparation for a writer, who, though he should be fully familiar with all great literary works, should con- centrate more in college on ob- taining a working knowledge of all available fields. As for the value of writing poetry, Auden feels that the most important thing is the fun the poet himself gets out of it. "History has shown that art hasn't made the world a better place," he ex- plained. It can merely reflect the world to the reader, and Auden does not feel that poetry can force the reader to make a decision, and change the state of affairs. He Continued on Ptge 4 Inferiority of Deduction Stated by Well-Known Philosopher Goodhart, October 8. The prin- ciples of inference involved in in- ductive and probability logic were examined by Mr. Bertrand Russell, eminent philosopher and logician, in his lecture last Friday. Mr. Rus- sell contrasted the logic of deduc- tion, which he said consists of little more than tautologies, with the logic of induction which argues from experience. He demonstrat- ed the inferiority of deduction by defining it as logic where the premise is true, the inference is valid, but the conclusion is only probable. This lecture on "The Limitations of Deductive Logic" is the first of a series of five which Mr. Russell will give here on the "Postulates of Scientific Method." Inductive Inference The modern mind wants gener- alizations from experience, stated Mr. Russell. Inductive logic, which revolves around the essen- tial principle that a multitude of like instances approach certainty, formulates its generalities from particular knowledge. For scien- tific knowledge or even for daily existence to continue, he said, the premises made by inductive logic about such a multitude of instan- ces must be accepted even though they can never be completely prov- ed. Thus, from experience, one may justifiably predict that the sun will rise tomorrow. Probability Judgments Mr. Russell objected to the prin- ciple of inference used in proba- bility judgments, and as an exam- ple, pointed out the limitations of a calculation of probability in a case of chance. The chance that a tossed penny will land "heads- up" is supposedly fifty-fifty but Mr. Russell refuted Reichenbach's claim that after a certain point the limits of chance continued un- varied and maintained that the probability could be accurately stated after calculations from an infinite succession of tosses. Doubtful Judgments Such a case of probability, stressed Mr. Russell, must be kept distinct from one of doubtful judg- ment, arising from distrust of either report or fact or individual impression. Thus, when Reichen- Continued on Ptge 4 Escapes from War-torn Areas of World Described by Members of Freshman Class By April Oursler, '46 Escape from war-torn countries is a commonplace in the lives of several Freshmen this year, who describe their own departures from Europe and China~with a_ vividness and clarity tha^ajnpha- sizes what one of them termed "the general attitude of ignorance and lack of interest in current his- fche~ffci: ~ 39*2^^3^on t),e part 0f the American student." Susan Durgin, daughter of the assistant naval attache to the American embassy in Berlin, had been in Germany for two years when Hitler marched into Poland in the fall of 1939. The final or- der from Washington that all American women and children were to evacuate within twenty- four hours came on the day that England and France declared war on Germany. In the rush that fol- lowed, Susan and her mother caught the last train leaving for Denmark. The train, patrolled constantly by soldiers, was crowd- ed with the aged and sick, and the women and children were forced to carry all their luggage. The "Kungsholm" carried the Ameri- cans from Denmark to New York, detouring past Sweden to Iceland in order to avoid submarines. Ruth Heinsheimer and Eva Krafft, both of whom also escaped from German-held territory, tell much the same story. Eva, who lived in the Sudetanland, fifteen minutes' walk from Germany, de- scribed the gradual strengthening of Hitler's power among the Sude- ContinueJ on Pag* 4
