Lily Collins has landed a role in Pride Prejudice and Zombies. The movie is an adaptation of the book about the tangled relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England who are faced with a new challenge — an army of undead zombies.
Collins would play the Elizabeth Bennet character.
Variety reports Burr Steers is on board to direct. Natalie Portman is one of the producers. The film has been in development for some time. In 2011 Emma Stone, Blake Lively and Rooney Mara were considered for the lead.
Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russell wrote the screenplay. He left the project in 2010 because of the budget.
He told the Wall Street Journal, "The studio budgeted it as a genre zombie movie and gave me $25 to $28 million. I was like, that's not cool. We have crazy big action sequences in it. It's very commercial; we have a major romance. It's a period film. And we're doing it on the budget that we did 'The Fighter'? It made no sense to me. That I found was frustrating."
Collins will also be seen in the upcoming The Mortal Instruments: The City of Bones.

When Nagel reports to her parents that she has answered "What is your favorite book?" with "Never met one I liked," they decide to fix what he calls her "intellectual impoverishment." They will commission a book to be written just for her - one she'll have to love - that will impress her teacher and the whole town of Fox Glen with their family's devotion to the arts. They will be patrons - the Medicis of Long Island. They will buy their daughter The Love of Reading.
Impossible though it is for Carley to imagine loving books, she is in love with a young bibliophile who cares about them more than anything. Anything, that is, but a good bottle of scotch. Hunter Cay, Carley's best friend and Fox Glen's resident golden boy, is becoming a stranger to her lately as he drowns himself in F. Scott Fitzgerald, booze, and Vicodin. When the Wellses move struggling writer Bree McEnroy into their mansion to write Carley's book, Carley's sole interest in the project is to distract Hunter from drinking and give them something to share. But as Hunter's behavior becomes erratic and dangerous, she finds herself increasingly drawn into the fictional world Bree has created and begins to understand for the first time the power of stories---those we read, those we want to believe in, and most of all, those we tell ourselves about ourselves. Stories powerful enough to destroy a person. Or save her.
©2009 Tanya Egan Gibson; (P)2009 Tantor
"Brimming with literary allusions, commentary on the rich and famous, and the necessary ingredients for a successful novel, Gibson's ingenious debut succeeds on many levels." (Booklist)

m Jimmy Eat World
Details: Wednesday 8 p.m. Ritz Ybor, 1503 E Seventh Ave., Tampa. $27 advance; $30 day of show. (813) 247-2555; www.theritzybor.com
It seems odd that a band with one big hit (The Middle) and a handful of minor ones (Lucky Denver Mint, Sweetness, Pain) would go on to be held in such esteem by younger bands. But in the past 18 years, by taking their signature emo/power-pop style mainstream, Jimmy Eat World helped pave the way for young bands like Fall Out Boy, Paramore and Panic at the Disco to become superstars. Today, the Arizona foursome are seen by many as forefathers of the genre. Now they're touring in support of 2010 disc Invented, and will play their first Coachella in April.

Kix Brooks >>
With Heidi Newfield, Randy Houser, Steve Holy
Details: Doors open at 7 p.m. Friday. Dallas Bull, 3322 U.S. 19 N, Tampa. $5 for ages 21 and up; $10 for ladies 18-20; $15 for guys 18-20. (813) 987-2855.
Thought you'd seen the last of Kix Brooks, did you? Not so fast. The mustachioed half of the now-defunct legendary country duo Brooks & Dunn is no stranger to the Dallas Bull — he stopped by there for a surprise set following B&D's Tampa concert last fall — and he's coming back this weekend for a charity concert benefitting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The best part? Standard club cover applies, so this is essentially a free show. For a relatively star-studded lineup, that's an extremely solid deal.

m Nappy Roots
Details: Friday 7 p.m. State Theatre, 687 Central Ave., St. Petersburg. $15. (727) 895-3045.
With so much bottle-popping in rap today, Nappy Roots' down-home tunes are a breath of fresh air. Over front porch guitar and honeyed organ, the five boys from Bowling Green wax poetic about grits, collards and neckbones (Po' Folks, Awnaw). "Our name signifies our unwillingness to conform with fads," says singer Skinny DeVille. "Once the fads die out, you always come back to the roots." Pursuit of Nappyness dropped last summer.
Death Angel
With Lazarus A.D., Alter Reign, more
Details: Friday 7 p.m. Brass Mug, 1441 E Fletcher Ave., Tampa. (813) 972-8152.
Filipino-American thrash metal band Death Angel (not to be confused with Linda Howard's bestselling romance novel of the same name) offers a sonic beatdown at the Brass Mug. Once a mainstay on MTV's Headbanger's Ball, the group revived its trademark guitar/drum pummel in Sanford with producer Jason Suecof (Trivium, the Black Dahlia Murder, All That Remains) on 2010's Relentless Retribution.
The Fab Four Ultimate Tribute
Details: Saturday 9 p.m. The Club at Treasure Island, 400 Treasure Island Causeway. $30. (727) 367-4511.
As Beatles tribute acts go, the Fab Four is one of the biggies (up there with Rain). So get back to where you once belonged with the crew that works meticulously (Paul's left-handed bass-playing included) to reproduce the Beatles classics on stage. Dana Carvey (who we often look to for a solid musical critique) praised the Fab Four as "the toppermost of the poppermost."
Robin Trower
With Sean Chambers
Details: Saturday 7 p.m. Jannus Live, 16 Second St. N, St. Petersburg. $26. (727) 565-0551.
Guitar hero Robin Trower returns to Jannus with penetrating blues-rock riffs and a foot firmly planted on the distortion pedal. Quintessential Stratocaster showcase Bridge of Sighs put Trower high on the '70s guitar god list, though some dubbed him a "Jimi Hendrix clone." Hardly a jab, we'd say.

The annual Walk Of Life to raise money for Royal United Hospital's new cancer centre was launched this week.
The 21-mile walk, organised by the Royal United Hospital's Forever Friends Appeal charity, is in its sixth year and was created in memory of Vanessa Kyte, who died in November 2007 having lived with cancer for seven years.
Her sister Nicola Noble from Warminster said: "The Walk of Life is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the life and memories of loved ones. I love it when I see the local community coming together to support such a wonderful cause.
"We look forward to this event every year and for me, knowing that all the money raised is going to help build a new cancer unit that Vanessa dreamt of is an added bonus."
The walk on May 18 starts at Devizes Wharf, heads through Bradford on Avon and finishes just off the canal in Sydney Gardens, Bath.
Entry is £15 and walkers can choose to walk the full distance, 12 miles from Devizes to Bradford on Avon or nine miles in the afternoon from Bradford on Avon to Bath.
Events and community officer for The Forever Friends Appeal, Jo Hones, said: "The Walk of Life is an absolutely stunning walk and I love being out and about on the day seeing the smiles on our walkers faces.
"Every year the event gets bigger and that's down to word of mouth. We have walkers join in from all over the hospital catchment area and they always seem to enjoy the challenge."
Mogers Solicitors in Bath will be sponsoring the walk, which raised £30,000 last year to help kick start the fundraising for the new cancer centre.
Rebecca Silcock, Family Partner at Mogers, said: "We are delighted to be supporting the Walk of Life this year.
"Many people either have or know someone who has been touched by cancer so it is important for Mogers as a business in the heart of the local community to support an appeal which will help transform the care of cancer patients and their families."
Organisers are urging people not to just take part in the walk but to also volunteer as marshals who will be handing out refreshments and encouraging the walkers.

Mathematical Methods in Biomedical Imaging
Call for Papers
Biomedical imaging is a rapidly development field to provide a state-of-art tool for preclinical biomedical research and clinical applications, in view of its ability to noninvasively reveal subtle structural variations of biological tissues and visualize in vivo physiological and pathological processes at the cellular and molecular levels. The main focus of this special issue will be on the interface between mathematical methods and biomedical imaging especially novel imaging theories, models, and reconstruction algorithms raised in biomedical imaging. It is also interesting to have quantitative comparison and analysis of new image processing methods for a specific clinical problem. Computational methods used to predict photon propagation in the optical imaging are welcome. In addition, innovative imaging system development and applications would be of great interest. The special issue will construct an international platform and serve as a forum for researchers to summarize and discuss recent advances in the biomedical imaging. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Computational methods in biomedical imaging
- Reconstruction methods of optical tomography
- Novel reconstruction methods in optical molecular imaging
- Phase-contrast imaging
- Photon propagation in biological tissues
- Multimodality fusion imaging
- Optimization techniques in inverse problems
- GPU computing in biomedical imaging

As I write this, I am sitting in my new office at the Studio. And if you saw the view from my office, you maybe wouldn't believe it. My office looks out at the Team Disney Building, which is the famous building with the Seven Dwarfs built into the facade, designed by Michael Graves. Just to its left is the original Animation Building where Walt Disney had his office.
If your idea of "making it" is acquiring the quintessential corner office, then I guess you'd say I've arrived. But every day, I take a moment to remind myself how lucky I am to sit in this chair. It's too easy to take it all for granted.
The idea of taking things for granted is a particularly poignant theme for me these days, as I face challenges in my relationships with my daughters, Samantha, 12, and Rosie, 9.
In a neighborhood filled with mansions, we live in a modest 1500-square-foot home on a postage-stamp-sized lot. Having grown up in a family of nine, where we all shared one bathroom, my home suits me just fine. My kids, on the other hand, well . . . they think it's quite terrible that we don't have a swimming pool. Instead of seeing all that they do have, they mainly see what they don't have. So I'm constantly asking myself, "How do I get my daughters to see how lucky they are?"
On my birthday this year, I decided I didn't want any gifts, and I didn't want a party. Instead, I wanted to spend the evening with my daughters — in a way that would help them see their world a little differently. It just so happened that a colleague at work had sent me an invitation to a charity event that would raise scholarship money for a small, private school in South Central Los Angeles.
Kids in South Central Los Angeles have few advantages in life. Most are relegated to public schools that have dropout rates of over 60 percent. But one little school in particular provides a glimmer of hope for the kids who attend. Nativity School is a tiny K-8 Catholic school located in a predominantly Hispanic and African-American neighborhood. By receiving a quality education — one that teaches moral values, not just academics — every student at this school stands a chance of reaching their full potential as a member of the community — instead of becoming one more failure statistic.
The keynote speaker at the event was Kermit Alexander, a former defensive back for the San Francisco 49ers (1963-1968) and for the Los Angeles Rams (1970-1971). Alexander grew up in South Central Los Angeles. He was recently featured on ESPN's Emmy-Award-winning series, "Outside the Lines." His story is both shocking and inspiring, and I felt my children ought to hear it.
After the event, I asked my daughters how they liked it. Their responses disappointed me. Samantha said she liked it, but she had no other comment. Rosie thought it was boring and too long.
"But do you know why I brought you to the event?" I asked.
By this point, Samantha was starting to feel exasperated.
"So we'd appreciate what we have and everything," she sighed. "I know they don't have as much as we do. But when I compare what I have with what my friends have . . . it's hard for me."
She understood why I had brought her to the event, but I was disheartened by her response. I knew my message hadn't gotten through. She still viewed something about her life as "hard."
I needed to try a different approach.
My daughters attend one of the best public schools in California. So I explained to them that most inner-city public schools in Los Angeles don't offer the same quality education as the girls receive at their own school. I offered an illustration to help them see the difference between their school and the schools in South Central Los Angeles.
"Imagine two schools — one in the same district as your own school and one in the middle of South Central Los Angeles. If these two schools each have 100 students, how many students from each school do you think will reach their senior year and graduate?"
They shrugged their shoulders.
"In your school district, 99 of those 100 kids will graduate, and nearly all will go to college. But in South Central, only 60 out of 100 will graduate, and less than ten will go to college."
Their eyes brightened. They were beginning to understand. So I repeated my first question:
"So, why do you think I took you to that event today?"
Samantha answered, "To show us how lucky we are to live in a good neighborhood. Because we get a good education, and we have a chance to do something that we want to do when we grow up."
Eureka! She understood me.
In hindsight, I guess I was overly optimistic about what they'd immediately understand about all this. It's not that they didn't see the plight of inner city kids. They did see it, but they still had more to learn. I planted a little seed in their heads, and I shouldn't expect it to germinate overnight. It may take days, weeks, or months for that seed to take root and break through the ground's surface. My job is to be ready with the watering can.

This was a gift from someone who knew I liked tea, but didn't know what to get me. I was shocked to find out that this is one of the most expensive mall teas. It's good, but it's certainly not great. I think it smells a bit like the tobacco my stepfather used to chew when I was a kid.

It's been a while since I've felt proud, affectionate, or even significantly positive about the drinks industry. Maybe it's just me getting old and crabby, but the scrabble for margins and listings, the inability to get to grips with the whole health thing and a general 'end of empire' flatness seem to have robbed it of a lot of the joy that was ubiquitous 15 years ago.
But this week something happened that reminded me what makes this industry special.
Paradoxically it wasn't a happy occasion. It wasn't a perfect Martini or a Michelin-starred meal; it wasn't a vertical of cru classé Bordeaux or a perfectly cooked steak. It was Caspar Auchterlonie's funeral.
A good number of you in the South East will probably have known Caspar, either from tastings and events, or from his position as a team leader in our Sommelier Wine Awards. Even those of you who never met him will have had the benefit of his pithy, amusing opinions down the years in our SWA Gold Book or his excellent tasting notes in Imbibe and probably felt as though you knew him.
As someone who was a good friend to me down the years, I've found it hard to come to terms with his death – not least because as well as being a warm, terrific, quirky guy, he was only my age.
But on a sad, grey day I got a real burst of pride in seeing such a terrific turnout from the drinks trade at his funeral. Caspar wasn't a high profile merchant or TV personality – just someone who'd ambled along doing what he enjoyed in an industry he loved.
Wine trade people didn't turn out because they felt they ought to 'pay their respects' in a dutiful way to an industry colossus. They were there because they genuinely wanted to be.
People who could have been forgiven for thinking 'I didn't know him well enough' and not attending what is, after all, a difficult occasion, made the effort. The industry turned up and, most importantly of all, they meant it.
Much of this, of course, is a reflection of Caspar's generous and appealing personality. But not all of it. If Caspar worked as a widget maker, would he have attracted the same plethora of heartfelt industry messages on Facebook or turnout on the day of his internment? I don't think so.
People might get into the world of booze because they love the product, but they stay in it because they like the people. Or, more accurately, they tend to like people in general. And it reminded me that this humanity, is what makes the drinks world special.
Sure, the food, the cocktails and the wine are great, but you could earn more money in another industry and buy them with your hard-earned if you wanted. But the kind of people who are attracted to those things – who prioritise comfort, loyalty, warmth and conversation over simple wealth – are my kind of people.
They were Caspar's kind of people as well. And he was one of you. One of us…

No Theme
- What field trips, one from elementary school and one from high school, do you remember most fondly?
We went to the Natural History Museum and Planetarium almost every year when I was a kid. I loved the pendulum.
As a high school student, I pretty much have to say the Tournament of Roses trip. We marched at Knott's Berry Farm and Disneyland too, among other things.
- How does your handwriting today differ from your handwriting in high school?
It's less neat. Also less roundy-girly.
- What let's-pretend game did you most enjoy when you were a child?
All of them. Not a lot of kids in the neighborhood, so "Let's Pretend" was pretty much the major game.
- If you had to take the name of any one-named celebrity, whose would work best?
Heh. No.
- A brain, a princess, an athlete, a basket case, and a criminal: Which of these roles will you take, and which friends fill the rest?
I'm going to use work-people to do this, I think.
Brain: Techie Librarian
Princess: Crazy Cat Woman [she only wishes]
Athlete: South America
Basket Case: Me
Criminal: Saint Steph [this is a play on some family connections and her job; she's not actually a criminal] [I think--lol]

The first BC Cup to be held at Fernie Alpine Resort marked the best track yet and last race of the season.
Dean Tennant took first place (and Brett Tippie's heart) at the Dual Slalom on Saturday night, with Rhys Verner in Second and Colin Yarrow in third.
The top of the course was loose and steep, a lot of bikes decided to toss their riders and go it alone.
Rhys Verner took the fastest time through the speed trap with a 63.7km/hr, beating everyone including the pro field.
Chris Kovarik and Claire Buchar won the overall for the Legendary Summer Series which included Silver Star, Golden and Fernie. After breaking three ribs Claire completed her mandatory practice laps and race run!

Who is Rabbi Ponet? (And What are the Seven Blessings?)
The New York Times is reporting that Chelsea Clinton wed Marc Mezvinsky Saturday, July 31, in an interfaith wedding service conducted by Rabbi James Ponet and the Reverend William Shillady. Chelsea is Methodist, like her mom, and Mezvinsky is Jewish.
The news brings to a screeching halt weeks of speculation about whether Chelsea had taken steps to conversion- or whether Mezvinsky had.
Photos show Mezvinsky wearing a kippah as well s a tallis, or prayer shawl. Though Mezvinsky was raised in a Conservative Jewish home, Rabbi Ponet, who performed the service, is a graduate of Hebrew Union College, a Reform seminary.
Rabbi Ponet is Yale University's Jewish chaplain. He heads the Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale. According to his official bio:
Rabbi Jim Ponet, TD, '68, is the first Yale alumnus to serve as Yale's Jewish Chaplain, a position he has been honored to fill since 1981. "I value learning and teaching above all else, regard every meeting as an encounter, a revelation, a moment at the mountain, and spend as much time as possible listening to and for the sound of subtle stillness."
Currently he teaches a college seminar with Dr. Ruth Westheimer on "The Family in the Jewish Tradition." He and his wife, Elana, lead a weekly discussion in Slifka Dining Room on the value of peace in Jewish life and thought.
The service included elements from both Jewish and Methodist traditions. The Times and other sources reported that the couples' friends and family read the Seven Blessings, which are typically recited at traditional Jewish weddings following the vows and exchange of rings.
The Seven Blessings are more traditionally known by their Hebrew name, Sheva Berachot. They are recited at traditional Jewish weddings following vows and the exchange of rings. Here is the English translation of the Sheva Berachot:
The blessings are:
Blessed are You, Adonai our God, King of the Universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine.
Blessed are You, Adonai, our God, King of the universe, Who has created everything for your glory.
Blessed are You, Adonai, our God, King of the universe, Creator of Human Beings.
Blessed are You, Adonai, our God, King of the universe, Who has fashioned human beings in your image, according to your likeness and has fashioned from it a lasting mold. Blessed are You Adonai, Creator of Human Beings.
Bring intense joy and exultation to the barren one (Jerusalem) through the ingathering of her children amidst her in gladness. Blessed are You, Adonai, Who gladdens Zion through her children.
Gladden the beloved companions as You gladdened Your creatures in the garden of Eden. Blessed are You, Adonai, Who gladdens groom and bride.
Blessed are You, Adonai, our God, King of the universe, Who created joy and gladness, groom and bride, mirth, glad song, pleasure, delight, love, brotherhood, peace, and companionship. Adonai, our God, let there soon be heard in the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem the sound of joy and the sound of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the grooms' jubilance from their canopies and of the youths from their song-filled feasts. Blessed are You Who causes the groom to rejoice with his bride.
According to the web site My Jewish Learning, "The sheva berakhot are the real heart of the Jewish wedding ceremony; it is in this liturgical moment of the ceremony that themes of joy and celebration and the ongoing power of love are expressed. Taken from the pages of the Talmud (Ketubot 8a), the blessings, from one to seven, begin with the kiddush over wine and increase in intensity in their imagery and metaphors. It is no accident that there are seven of these blessings, since the number seven brings to mind the seven days of creation. Poetic echoes of creation and paradise abound in the blessings, as does the age-old yearning for return to Jerusalem. Significantly, the final blessing culminates with imagery of the entire community singing and celebrating with the bride and groom, reminding all present that the couple standing under the huppah is a link in the chain of Jewish continuity."
No word on whether the bridegroom shattered a glass, or whether President Clinton yelled, "Mazel tov!"

text: Enlarger light leaks After a frustrating morning of trying to arrange a dark cloth to plug all the light leaks from my B22 negative carrier I lost all my enthusiasm for printing . Guess Ill have to build some kind of box to go over the head and mask out all the stray light As the coin on the fogged side paper test showed a large amount of flare light . Is there any enlarger that doesnt leak light from its negative carrier ,especially if the film is in strips?

As a photographer I largely use DVD's for backing up and distributing my photos, but, when I only have a small quantity to post out why waste the space of a DVD when a CD is sufficient.
These disks can fit up to 700MB, and 80min, which is up from the usual 650MB and 74min. They also support up to 52x write speed so if you've got a speedy writer you'll have CD's flying out at a rate of knots.
Mostly I use a laptop because I'm on the move a lot, and I've noticed that some CD's and DVD's have a tendency to be really noisy, with a scuffing noise. I've tracked this down to a little circular ridge around the central non data section of the CD. The noise isn't so much the problem, but it can mess up the record/read of the disk which is a real pain. Thankfully TDK CD-R80 do not have this ridge so are quiet and don't crash out when writing.
These CD's seem to be reliable, I've not had any problems with them so far and I've used 20 or so. They have all worked fine, something which can not be said for some cheaper disks. The cases are the normal slimline type so you can fit 2 in each slot of a CD rack.

In addition to reducing carbon footprint, empowering customers to more cost-efficiently manage their energy usage and fueling new business opportunities, the Smart Grid offers tremendous promise in terms of improving the reliability and availability of electricity service. Increased reliance on "microgrids" is one way how.
In a microgrid, a utility concentrates perhaps a wide array of distributed-generation technologies—diesel, fuel cells, natural-gas-fired turbines and microturbines, photovoltaic fields, solar-thermal stations, wind farms and other resources—in a cluster that could be used in different valuable ways. The utility might typically keep the microgrid connected to the centralized grid for helping fulfill normal demand but disconnect it to operate on its own and maintain service to key application sectors (such as hospitals and emergency services) during a reliability issue. Or, the microgrid might normally be "islanded" from the centralized grid and kept available for as-needed utilization during an event such as a grid shutdown, breach, period of unreliability or another abnormal condition.
Two-way communications and control across the electricity-delivery facility is necessary to synchronize between the microgrid and traditional grid, in order to ensure a successful switch of the microgrid's mode of operation between connected and disconnected. End to end—from a utility's operation center to all of its remote substations—there must exist sophisticated capabilities for management and protection in order to ensure that the transition takes place automatically, efficiently, non-disruptively and safely. The microgrid system, for example, might be configured to respond to a signal of a droop in voltage. In the event of such a fault, the centralized grid might close itself to an impacted sector, with the microgrid being activated (within microseconds) to keep power flowing to the users in that islanded sector.
Microgrid pilots are already underway in some areas of the world, and the data that these experiments yield will go a long way in determining the eagerness of private investors to fund larger-scale deployments. Utilities in California, for example, are assessing microgrids' potential for avoiding blackouts, better managing peak-demand periods and supporting a more resilient, self-healing infrastructure.
Technology and standards development in the coming years will enhance microgrids' usefulness to utilities.
Energy storage, for example, is a great frontier of innovation, and more robust technologies in this area would allow microgrids to make greater use of inherently intermittent, renewable sources of energy. The interconnection environment is maturing, too, with the rollout of globally relevant standards that will help utilities efficiently overcome traditional barriers such as geographic borders and vendor interoperability.
Important business and regulatory questions—particularly around the cost of interconnection—must be addressed, too. How will that cost be split among providers of distributed-generation energy sources and clusters and the utilities who employ those resources through microgrids? Greater clarity in these high-stakes business/regulatory areas would stand to accelerate development of microgrids specifically, as well as other elements of the greater Smart Grid.

So we have reached the 7 month stage with baby Asher, and many new activities have rapidly developed: Spitting, Army Crawling, Teething, and of course Eating Solid Food. We have decided to introduce one food item at a time to his little digestive system. Sweet Potatoes, Avocados, Bananas, Green Beans have all gone over very well. Today's menu item is raw peaches. And as you can see in the video below, they may not be the most popular item on the menu. But I think I have found a clever way to humanly force feed my baby. Take a peek for yourself!
I'm sure you are thinking, "Ok, cute video, but what in the world does you feeding Asher have to do with fitness." I am SO glad you asked!
Sometimes in life there are things we know are good for us. Things that we should do that will benefit us in both the short and long term, but they might not rank as favorites in our own personal menu of to-dos. The same way the peaches are nutritionally good for Asher, but he wasn't a huge fan.
So what do we do in those situations? When we know we should be doing something like working out, or eating right, but we don't enjoy it or lack motivation.
I have found, like helping Asher, we have to make it fun! So sweating isn't your idea of fun- I get it! I understand! It wasn't my idea of fun either when I was 100 pounds heavier. But I had to find small ways to make it entertaining. For me my very first step was walking around the block. At my heaviest, I had just come out of a very emotional breakup with the only serious girlfriend I ever had, and sitting around the house thinking about it was driving me insane. So I ventured outside for an evening walk, and to my surprise, I found that I really enjoyed it. The fresh air and the evening breeze allowed me to clear my head, and remind myself of things in my life I was thankful for.
As I actually enjoyed being active with my walks, I found myself wanting to try new physical activities. I started biking, and then lightly jogging. Little did I know all those little activities prepared me for the near future when a friend of mine introduced me to a home workout program. If I had not created my own momentum by taking that first walk, I would have never been open to trying a program like that. Not only was I introduced to a program, but an online community where I could log my workouts, virtually chat with other people struggling along like myself, and even win prizes for my efforts. Now this was getting fun! And of course the most fun was after 2 weeks of the program, I noticed my pants were looser! Talk about being on a roll and anxious to add the next step!
So maybe you are 'stuck', and you are waiting for Mr. Motivation to come strike you like a lightning bolt for you to start moving. Well, I challenge you to think of little Asher who chose to laugh, flash a big smile, and open himself up to something that he didn't think he liked, but ultimately was good for him. And in the long run both Asher and you will live healthier lives because of it.

Warm Sounds on a Cold Winter Night
January 22, 2013 •
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The Annual Midwinter concert was a two hour event that took place on January 17, 2013. It consisted of Percussion Ensemble, Chamber Orchestra, Jazz Combo, Jazz Ensemble, and Roundtable Singers.
All of those groups consist of advanced musicians. However, this year the concert also included the beginning percussion ensemble classes.
Mr. Berry had this to say: "This is a unique concert , it shows the great range of our music department. We have so much to offer. We like to put our music on display, so to speak."
The regular MHS Percussion Ensemble did their first piece, Lids, using trash cans of vary lengths, sizes, and types. It was very exciting and fast, with varying sound, from soft to loud. Their next song, In the Hall of the Mountain King, used traditional instruments. For the beginning it was quiet and slow, however, as it progressed the tempo increased as did the volume, making for another fantastic performance.
Chamber Orchestra performed shortly after; their first selection, called, Blue-Fire Fiddler, was very upbeat and fast. The next piece, Bylina, a very stark contrast to Blue-Fire Fiddler, began very slow and sad. In the middle, it featured a solo by Cheareace Miller on viola. Soon, the tempo increased although mood of the piece became even sadder. Finally, the tempo decreased and the movement came to an end. The next song, Winter from the "Four Seasons" had a variation of tempo, and also a variation of moods. It truly felt like winter with the sadness and the cold.
Next up was Brian Graves, who did a solo on the guitar. He played Prelude No. 1 and Castles of Spain which were both of varying tempo and many chords. They were very calming and wonderfully executed. The two songs were striking; some soft, others loud, but the melody was always lovely.
The next group to perform was the MHS Roundtable Singers. Their first piece, Gloria ad Modem Tubae, was very upbeat and lovely. The next song, Locus Iste, was very dramatic and powerful. This was followed by My Spirit Sang All Day which was very upbeat and very loud. On Children & Wanting Memories had a varying rhythm, with people singing the beat and singing different words at the same time and it faded very nicely. Finally, the last song was Soon-ah Will Be Done, it was very fast and ended loudly with a quick stop.
The MHS Jazz Combo, a very small group, performed next. However, their selection, Milestones, was not small at all. It was very long, but amazing! The song was upbeat and quick, with solos by almost every member. The interesting thing about this performance was that the song only had the beginning and end written out. The middle part was all improvisation!
Finally, the MHS Jazz Ensemble appeared onstage. Their first number called Avalon, included three soloists: Nathan Edwards on tenor saxophone, Alan Pearl on trumpet and Jeremy Peck on drums. All three improvised, and the song was beautiful, it was quick and had a nice beat. Next they played Brush Taps, which included a solo on Piano by Matt Mokarsky, who also improvised. It was an awesome piece that started out with the drum and was slower with more pauses. It had a more laid back feel than the others. Finally, to close the concert, was Punta del Sol, featuring the drum section. It had a loud start and went between being dramatic and smooth. It ended suddenly and a great concert was over.
The Percussion Ensemble was conducted by Mr. Cancellieri, Chamber Orchestra was conducted by Mrs. Maas, and Roundtable Singers were conducted by Mr. Tyler. The Jazz Combo was directed by Mr. Maher and the Jazz Ensemble was directed by Mr. Berry.
Mrs. Maas had this to say, "I thought the concert was great. I was very pleased with the performance of the chamber orchestra. They've worked very hard and should be very proud of their efforts. I also enjoyed listening to all the other groups."
This concert had many different groups which all played fantastically! Go to the next concert coming up, you won't be disappointed!

What can I say about this course besides if you get the chance to play it then I strongly recommend that you do.
This course is now a par 90 30 hole course. This is a challenge if there ever was one. This course has everything. Very technical which I love. You can tell that a lot of time, effort and thought went into the design and constant upkeep of this course.
We had absolutely perfect weather also. High 70's during the day and mid 60's at night. So all in all perfect golfing weather...
This course starts off with the coolest basket I have ever seen. Handmade wooden basket that makes a "clunk" sound when your disc hits the chains, something different and amazing. This hole is called the Money Hole for a reason. I will upload some pics when I get the chance. Currently Im at work and the pics are at home.
Phantom Falls, has everything you could hope for in a course. Short "ace runs" , to uphill "1 gappers" and everything in between. The two long holes make the course quite challenging.
This course, is a consistent technical course. The holes will either make you or break you. You can turn what looks like a birdie into a bogey or worse very quickly.
The pads are crushed rock which is not something I was used to but it allows for great grip and a adds a "mountain feel" to the course. Not to mention the outstanding views, which were priceless.
I cant say enough good things about this course, the designer and owner.
Great people, great course.
Ive played all around the upper half of the united states and this course takes the cake.
I had the amazing chance to spend a wonderful 6 days traveling from Iowa to Colorado playing a lot of golf. We had the opportunity to play some awesome courses. We actually played 7 courses. which were as follows:
WideField in Colorado Spings
Cottonwood in Colorado Springs
Phantom Falls in Pine, Colorado
Beaver Ranch in Pine Colorado
Frontier Park in Hays, Kansas
Shawnee Lake in Wichita Kansas
All which were amazing courses and not what I am used to at least here in Iowa.
I will say that Phantom Falls in Pine Colorado would be the best course I got to play. Beaver Ranch does come in a close second just by having the signature holes that make that course what it is.
Phantom Falls would rank highest in my book for multiple reasons. The hospitality of the owner/designer. The great round that I got to play with Ponto (great -10, absolutely amazingly to see what someone can do on that technical of a course). As for me I scored a +6 and the second round would have been better but being on the ladies time schedule we had to leave.
I would like to thank everyone that made this vacation one for the books. Paulie and Ponto you two guys made the vacation something special.
I will have to definitely make a return trip just to play this wonderful course again.
So in ending. If you get the opportunity to play this amazing Private Mountain course, I highly recommend it.
Thanks again, to everyone who helped make this possible....

Before 1983, few moviegoers, even the ones who considered themselves film buffs, knew the name Pedro Almodóvar. But that changed, at least in South Florida, with the first Miami International Film Festival, which screened the world premiere of the Spanish filmmaker's Dark Habits. Almodóvar went on to work with stars such as Penélope Cruz and win awards everywhere from Cannes to the Oscars. And MIFF grew too, hosting increasingly prominent premieres and boosting dozens of other rising filmmakers — including the Coen Brothers, Robert Rodriguez, and Miami's own Billy Corben — to greatness.
The 2013 edition of MIFF, running March 1 through 10 and comprising more than 200 events, marks the festival's 30th anniversary and yet another step toward relevance in a saturated world of film festivals. But despite headline-making acquisitions such as this year's Dark Blood, the final film starring River Phoenix, MIFF is not trying to become another Tribeca or Cannes.
"We're not Sundance," executive director Jaie Laplante explains. "I think what we are doing here in Miami is different, and if we stay focused on who we are and being unique in our programming and the films [we] attract as world premieres, which are different from the type of films that are world-premiering in Sundance, then we have our own opportunities to be influential and respected."
MIFF's Jaie Laplante Talks Cinema at the Intersection of Hollywood and Latin America
Miami International Film Festival: Friday, March 1, through Sunday, March 10, with events at Coral Gables Art Cinema, 260 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables; Miami Beach Cinematheque, 1130 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; O Cinema Wynwood, 90 NW 29th St., Miami; Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts, 174 E. Flagler St., Miami; Regal Cinemas South Beach, 1120 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach; and Tower Theater, 1508 SW Eighth St., Miami. Visit miamifilmfestival.com.

Key to growing this respect is recognizing Miami's close relationship with Latin America. MIFF's Knight Ibero-American Competition attracts many of the region's most noteworthy filmmakers through a cash prize that has doubled under Laplante — $45,000 in jury prizes — and the promise of a screening on what has become one of the world's biggest stages for Latin films. "It's part of our mission to expand the audience for Ibero-American cinema into the United States," Laplante notes. "This festival has a particular place among the national consciousness... because we are a gateway into Latin America."
MIFF's growth mirrors the progress of film culture in Miami. Recent years have seen the formation of clubs for film buffs, an influx of movie and TV projects shooting around town, and local filmmakers improving in both ability and number. From outsiders bringing in Hollywood productions to locally grown talent working here, Laplante says, Miami has become an increasingly influential movie town thanks to filmmakers such as Borscht Corp. Despite what he calls a "fundamental difference of approach" between MIFF and the Borscht Film Festival, Laplante raves about the local collective. "I just think they're a tremendous group of talented individuals. I love their creativity. This last Borscht was so fun. My only regret is that it's not more often, that we can't look forward to it every 12 months."
In the meantime, Laplante remains devoted to acquiring more and better films — especially ones no audience has seen — for MIFF in the years to come. "I want to continue to use our resources to encourage getting those world premieres or those international premieres of those big films to come here first," he says. "That's what I'm focused on."

i think when they report all this stuff it freaks people out more and can actually led to people getting hurt. not too mention they blow things out of proportion.
Its like the game we play when you get a butt load of people in a circle adn the first person wispers somehting in the next persons ear. by time it gets back to the first person, its not at all what they said. i rather the "news" stfu, and let the people who actually knows stuff give a press release and answer all questions when they can.

The next-gen MacBook Pro with Retina Display Reviewby Anand Lal Shimpi on June 23, 2012 4:14 AM EST
- Posted in
- Mac
- Apple
- MacBook Pro
- Laptops
- Notebooks
Last year when I wrote about the new MacBook Airs I offered two forward looking paragraphs:
What happens from here on out is what's really interesting. Intel has already committed to moving the TDP of its mainstream parts from 35W - 45W down to 10 - 20W. Since the Air is the new mainstream Mac notebook, Apple has already made that move. The performance in this 10 - 20W segment is going to get much better over the next two years, particularly once Haswell arrives.
The Thunderbolt Display is the first sign of what's to come. Moving IO controllers and expansion into the display, and potentially even moving discrete GPUs out of the notebook are all in store for us. Apple is really ahead of the curve here, but it's easy to imagine a future where laptops become a lot more like the new Air and shift to a couple high bandwidth ports instead of numerous lower bandwidth connections.
Perhaps I was being too aggressive in the prediction of a couple of high bandwidth ports. After all, the next-generation MacBook Pro with Retina Display features four such IO ports (2 x Thunderbolt and 2 x USB 3.0). But you get my point. Gigabit Ethernet and Firewire 800 are both gone. The discrete GPU is still present but I suspect even its days are numbered, at least inside the chassis. The personal computer as we knew it for so long, is changing.
The personal computer is getting thinner, lighter, more integrated and more appliance-like. The movement is no longer confined to just Apple either. The traditional PC OEMs are following suit. Even Microsoft has finally entered the PC hardware business, something it threatened to do for years but hadn't until now. Distribution models will change, the lines between different form factors will continue to blur. What was once a mature industry is going through a significant transformation. It's exciting but at the same time it makes me uneasy. When I first got into this industry everyone had stories of companies with great ideas that just didn't make it. As we go through this revolution in computing I'm beginning to see, first hand, the very same.
Apple makes the bulk of its revenue from devices that don't look like traditional personal computers. For the past couple of years I've been worried that it would wake up and decide the traditional Mac is a burden, and it should instead be in the business of strictly selling consumer devices. With its announcements two weeks ago in San Francisco, I can happily say that my fears haven't come true. At least not yet.
It's been a while since Apple did a really exciting MacBook Pro launch. Much to my surprise, even the move to Sandy Bridge, the first quad-core in a MacBook Pro, was done without even whispers of a press conference. Apple threw up the new products on its online store, shipped inventory to its retail outlets, updated the website and called it a day. Every iPhone and iPad announcement however was accompanied with much fanfare. The MacBook Pro seemed almost forgotten.
With its WWDC unveil however Apple took something that it had resigned to unexciting, dare I say uncool status, and made a huge deal about it. Two weeks ago Apple did the expected and offered relatively modest upgrades to all of its portable Macs, all while introducing something bold.
Apple calls it the MacBook Pro with Retina Display. You'll see me refer to it as the next-gen MacBook Pro, Retina MacBook Pro, rMBP or some other permutation of these words.
After using it for the past two weeks I can honestly say it's the best Mac Apple has ever built. And there's a lot more to it than hardware.
If you were hoping for a 15-inch MacBook Air, that's not what the rMBP is. Instead it is a far more portable 15-inch MacBook Pro. I have to admit I was a bit let down the first time I laid eyes on the next-gen MacBook Pro, it looks good but it doesn't look all that different. The disappointment quickly faded as I actually picked up the machine and started carrying it around. It's not ultra light, but man does it make the previous chassis feel dated.
While I never really liked lugging around the old MBP (and it always made me feel like the old fogey at tradeshows where everyone else had something 13-inches or smaller), carrying the rMBP is a pleasure by comparison. Pictures really don't do it justice. The impressively thin display assembly or overall chassis thickness look neat in a photo but it's not until you actually live with the rMBP that you can appreciate what Apple has done here. I carry around a 15-inch MacBook Pro because it's my desktop, and as such it's incredibly useful to have with me when I travel. For my personal usage model, the Retina MacBook Pro is perfect.
If your workload demands that you need the performance of a MacBook Pro and your lifestyle requires you to carry it around a lot, the reduction in thickness and weight alone will be worth the upgrade to the rMBP. If you spend most of your time stationary however, you'll have to be sold on the display and internal characteristics alone. The bad news is if the design doesn't get you, everything else will.

Mumrik - Monday, June 25, 2012 - link
Anand, on page 4 you categorize the rMBP as a consumer device: "At 220 pixels per inch it's easily the highest density consumer notebook panel shipping today.", but back on page 2 you made a deal of of calling it a pro "appliance" and pointed out that it wasn't a consumer device.
Other than that - this DPI improvement really needs to get moving. It's been so many years and we've essentially been standing still since LCDs took over and the monitor business became a race towards the bottom. IPS, high DPI and native support for it in software PLEASE. 120hz would be nice too. Reply
dwade123 - Monday, June 25, 2012 - linkI don't understand why Apple doesn't take advantage of their lead in Thunderbolt. This machine screams for E-GPU with GTX 670! Reply
Spunjji - Tuesday, June 26, 2012 - linkProbably because right now the user experience would be poor. See Anand's comments about sound and USB cutting out when high-bandwidth transfers are occurring. That would be catastrophic mid-game and would definitely lead me to return the hardware as unfit for purpose. Apple have had their slip-ups but they rarely release hardware that is unfit for purpose. Reply
inaphasia - Monday, June 25, 2012 - linkDoes Apple have some sort of exclusive deal (ie monopoly with an expiration date) on these displays, or can anybody (HP, Asus, Lenovo etc) use them if they want to? Reply
wfolta - Monday, June 25, 2012 - linkIn recent years, Apple has been the King of the Supply Chain due to Tim Cook. He's now the CEO. I doubt that there will be many retina 15" screens available for Apple's competitors for a year or more.
Even if Apple didn't lock up the supply chain, Apple's competitors have been running towards lower resolutions, or the entertainment-oriented 16:9 1920x1080 (aka 1080p), so it will take them a while to pivot towards higher-density displays even if they were growing on trees. Reply
Constructor - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkApple has been paying huge sums (in the Billions of Dollars!) to component manufacturers in advance to have them develop specific components such as this one, even paying for factories to be built for manufacturing exclusively for Apple for a certain time.
It is also possible that Apple has licensed certain patents from various (other) manufacturers for their exclusive use which might preclude open-market sales of the same components even after the exclusive deal with Apple is up, because the display manufacturer may not be able to keep using these same patents.
In short: The chances for PC manufacturers to get at them just by waiting for them to drop into the market eventually don't look too good.
After all, none of the other Retina displays have appeared in other products yet. And the iPhone 4 is already two years old.
So either the non-Apple-supplying component manufacturers or the PC builders will have to actually pay for their own development. And given their mostly dismal profit margins and relatively low volumes in the premium segment, I wouldn't hold my breath. Reply
Shanmugam - Monday, June 25, 2012 - linkAnand and Team,
Excellent review again.
When is the MacBook Air Mid 2012 review coming? I really want to see the battery life improvement, I can see that it almost tops out at 8Hours for light work load for 13" MBA.
Cannot wait!!! Reply
smozes - Monday, June 25, 2012 - linkAnand states: "[E]nough to make me actually want to use the Mac as a portable when at home rather than tethered to an external panel. The added portability of the chassis likely contributes to that fact though."
I work with an external display at home, and given that there are none yet at this caliber, I'm wondering about doing away with the external display and working only with the rMBP. In the past I've always needed external displays for viewing more info, and I'm curious if this is no longer necessary.
Has anyone tried doing away with an external display and just using the rMBP on a stand with a mouse and keyboard? Since the display includes more info than a cinema display, and given healthy eyesight, would this setup be as ergonomic and efficient? Reply
boeush - Monday, June 25, 2012 - linkFor several years, I've been using 17'' notebooks with 1920x1200 displays. That resolution had been more than enough for the 17'' form factor; having even such a resolution on a 15'' screen is going overboard, and doing it on an 11'' tablet is just plane bonkers. I don't see the individual pixels on my laptop's screen, and I'd wager neither would most other people unless they use magnifying lenses.
I really don't get the point of wasting money on over-spec'ed hardware, and burning energy pushing all those invisible pixels.
I'd rather have reasonable display resolutions matched to the actual physiological capabilities of the human eye, and spend the rest of the cost and power budgets on either weight reductions, or better battery life, or higher computing performance, or more powerful 3G/4G/Wi-Fi radios, etc.
The marketing-hype idiocy of "retina displays" now appears to be driving the industry from one intolerable extreme (of crappy pannels with sup-par resolutions) right into the diametrically opposite insanity -- that of ridiculously overbuilt hardware.
Why can't we just have cost-effective, performance-balanced, SANE designs anymore? Reply
darkcrayon - Monday, June 25, 2012 - linkReminds me of comments when the 3rd gen iPad screen was introduced. You have a review which both subjectively (from an extremely experienced user) and objectively from tests shows this is the best display ever for a laptop. Yet people ignore all of that and say it's a waste... I think it would be a waste if it didn't actually... You know... Provide a visibly dramatic level of improvement. And its better to make a large jump bordering on "overkill" than to make tiny incremental steps with something like display resolution- fragmentation/etc being what it is, Reply

Fourth rule about Gremlins: Never remake an '80s classic (too late!)
Do you remember the three rules about caring for a Mogwai? Anyone who saw 1984's Gremlins should know this. 1. Never expose it to sunlight. 2. Never get it wet. 3. Never feed it after midnight.
Hollywood obviously has been feeding its screenwriters after midnight again because we've just learned a reboot of Gremlins could be coming soon. Vulture.com reports that Warner Bros. is talking with Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment on such a project.
It's hard to imagine Spielberg going from Lincoln to Gremlins, but odder things have happened in Hollywood. Surely having his name attached will get the ball rolling. Until then, "Bye-bye, Billy!"

Helen Marie Burke (nee Wheaton), born on March 16, 1923, in Barberton, Ohio died on February 16, 2014 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin at the age of 90 with her daughters at her side. She was the daughter of Samuel and Gladys (Phile) Wheaton and the sister of Gerald, Hilda, Rosemary, Sam and Wayne. The only surviving sibling is her sister, Rosemary (Charles) Bradfield, in Mansfield Ohio. She was the beloved wife of Leonard C. Burke, who died in 1984 and the mother of Maureen Burke, Linda Youngquist (Jim), Thomas (Adele), who died in 2012 and Timothy, who died in 1998. She is survived by many nieces and nephews out-of-state and by many lifelong friends.
Helen and her husband, Leonard, grew up in Ravenna, Portage County, Ohio where they met, married and raised four children before moving to Wisconsin in 1958. Helen and her sister Hilda were both born in Barberton, Ohio where their father was employed by the O.C. Barber Farm in Barberton, Ohio. Shortly after Helen's birth the family moved to the Phile family farm in Charlestown, Ohio. Helen's great grandfather Jacob Phile, son of Peter Pfeil of Edinburg, purchased the farm in 1860 which was then taken over by Helen's grandfather Wallace Phile who died in 1924. Helen's parents moved into the farm at that time, cared for Helen's grandmother Isabelle (Packer) Phile, raised their family and farmed until their deaths.
If ever the song, "How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree?" applied to anyone it would apply to Helen, because she loved city life and she did get to Paris in 1996. Helen loved to travel and wintered in Sarasota, Florida from 1989 to 2003. She moved many times with her husband and family for company moves. They moved from Ravenna, Ohio in 1958 to Shorewood, Wisconsin then to York, Pennsylvania in 1970 and Summit, New Jersey in 1974 before coming back to Wisconsin and settling in Oconomowoc for 18 years in 1978. In 1996 she moved to Milwaukee's Eastside with her daughter Maureen.
Helen was a SPAR (SEMPER PARATUS, Always Ready) in the U. S. Coast Guard in WWII, stationed in Sandwich on Cape Cod. Her husband, Leonard, and her brother, Gerald, and sister, Hilda, also served in WWII. Gerald was killed at the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944. Helen was a longtime member of the Becky Badger WAVES Unit #39 in Milwaukee, but was welcomed as a member of the Fox Valley WAVES Unit #153 in Appleton after moving to the Fox Cities area in 2010 with her daughter to be closer to other family members because of health reasons. She was a charter member of the Women's Memorial in Washington, D.C. and a 26-year member of the American Legion Alonzo Cudworth Post #23 in Milwaukee.
Helen had a beautiful, warm smile, made friends wherever she lived, was a great letter writer, loved clipping newspaper articles to send to friends and was accomplished in the art of tatting. She loved music, particularly hymns and big band music.
A memorial service will be held at Fiss and Bills Funeral Home in Oshkosh and her final resting place will be Wisconsin Memorial Park in Brookfield, Wisconsin alongside her beloved husband Leonard C Burke and her son Timothy.
(Fiss and Bills Poklasny Funeral Home, 920-235-1170. RC 2-19-14)

Vehicle1997 Honda Accord Special Edition 4dr Sedan
ReviewThis Accord was my very first car and
is an excellent first car for any high
schooler. It's cute and sporty while
still being practical and functional,
especially on the gas mileage. I
bought it at 29,000 and the only
problems have been mostly small ones--
the power windows are sometimes slow,
the A/C and defogging are sometimes
flaky and I also have "phantom locks"--
whenever I lock my car, manually or by
remote, the locks continue to make a
sound as though they are locking. But I
have never had a major problem with my
Accord and I always feel safe in it.
Best FeaturesI love the overall look of the Accord from the year '97, more so than the '98- '02 models. Great cargo space for a college student like me. Great gas mileage on the highway. Comfy seats, and just a good solid-handling ride. The gas and brakes respond well.
Worst FeaturesDefinitely the A/C, defogger, power windows and power locks need to be addressed. I'm guessing they have been improved in recent years.

Johannesburg - No matter the outcome at Ellis Park this weekend, the Lions will register their best Super Rugby result, with at least six wins in the competition. It is a feat few would have predicted at the start of the year and while they'll still finish in the lower positions on the log, the competition has been a success for Johan Ackermann and his charges.
Yes, one could argue no team deserves praise for ending a competition with a less than 50 percent win record, but considering the recent history of the Lions, I think one can say they've done pretty darn well.
Lions teams with far more Springboks, and experienced players, have done a lot worse and to think Ackermann was really in his first full season as head coach in Super Rugby is quite remarkable. Heck, Ackermann hasn't had loads of coaching experience, having hung up his boots only a few years ago and he took over a team in some turmoil following the departure of John Mitchell.
Not only did Ackermann have to slog through a dour 2013 when the Lions didn't even play in the Super Rugby competition, he had to rebuild the confidence of the players and get them believing in their abilities again after the team's relegation.
Also, and let's be honest here, he didn't have the most experienced, and exciting, squad to work with.
But, by backing a talented group of youngsters and giving them the belief they're as good as the men opposite them, the Lions became a solid outfit again. They made Ellis Park a tough place to play for visiting teams and they more than held their own against the bigger local franchises, home and away. It was really only in Australasia that they were found wanting.
And, even then, they could have won a game or two had they had a bit more luck and a few refereeing calls go their way.
Yes, the Lions are nowhere near being a side ready to challenge for the play-offs and they still have plenty of growing to do, but Ackermann feels that by 2016 they'll be up there with the other big Super Rugby teams. I tend to agree with him.
There are some mighty fine, and hugely talented, players in the current squad and there's also reasonable depth, so over time I believe they could become the force they once were. Not only did Marnitz Boshoff become a Springbok this season, but several other players will be knocking on the Bok door in future.
The key, of course, as it's been for some time now, is to hang on to these players. That will be the Lions' biggest challenge over the next year or two... keeping their best men in Joburg. Because that's the only way the Lions will be able to improve on this season's results and build a team good enough to actually challenge for a place among the contenders.

text: Dealing with a difficult situation and need some advice... I had to sacrifice my 5.1 Mirage speaker setup for a more lifestyle-friendly environment at the new home. I can use my left, center, right, and subwoofer speakers, but can't use the surrounds. I've just bought a new Yamaha 7.1 AVR (not set up yet) and am wondering if its possible, recommended, or NOT recommended to connect the surround outputs or the back surround outputs from the AVR to the left/right channel speakers as well.... trying to be sure that all of the sound output is driven to a speaker. Or will the AVR know that when I set it all up? On a related note, I've found that the Mirage speakers and Sony 5.1 AVR system hasn't performed that well with movies/TV anyway.... it seems I'm always turning up the volume when its mostly dialog, and turning it down again during action scenes. Is this likely a result of my speakers, my old Sony AVR, or something else? Thanks for the advice!
