text: Slow and steady... As the Motorcyclist writer perhaps most in need of tutoring, I've been enrolling in track days like a freshman with a double major. And like many ambitious students, I've reached the point where I've been asked to teach myself. With just a half-dozen newbies gridding for the novice group, I figured instructing would be a breeze. And it was-if you like your breezes choppy, turbulent and fraught with interruptions. Despite their lack of on-track experience, my students arrived carrying more baggage than a Gold Wing towing a trailer! With more tough love than a Dr. Phil episode, I was able to curtail some of their bad habits. Here are five tips gleaned from my first day on the other side of the desk... 1. Leave the gadgets at homeA rider on a late-model sport-tourer spent much of the day with his front tire nipping at my rear. Back in the paddock, I suggested he follow me instead of trying to pass me. "No way, dude," he remarked. "My uncle has done a 1:18 lap in his car and I've got to beat him." To back up the urgency of his mission, he had an on-board lap timer and a girlfriend with a stopwatch. Eventually I waved him past to watch his lines, and I could have slapped myself and a liability lawyer when Mr. Win It nearly became Mr. Bin It! He later confessed that he was looking at his lap timer when he ran off the track. If you've got to splash out cash, invest in sticky tires. They'll go a lot further toward shedding seconds than a stopwatch. 2. Patience, GrasshopperTrack-day gods are not created via Immaculate Conception. Rather they are born of many sessions spent learning the myriad intricacies of the race track. If the pace of a novice session feels too slow-as nearly every student in my class complained-be patient. Instead of concerning yourself with tearing down the straightaways only to end up panic braking, try following the instructor's drills. Riding an entire session in one gear-third, for example- without using the brakes will help you develop an unstressed familiarity with the circuit. You might even notice that your pace hasn't changed much from a lap where you did the fast/slow routine. 3. Lone wolves hunt betterThough enrolling in your first track day with your usual Sunday-morning crowd might seem like a good idea, it seldom is. Too many riding buddies harbor long-held resentments about who was faster than whom on the way home from Hooters last weekend. And while the track is the best place to settle those scores, doing so during your first outing is just plain stoopid. You'll end up endangering each other and the other riders in your group. Cause an accident and you'll likely be black flagged, sent home or, worst case, earn an ambulance ride. 4. Resist the urgeThe last session of the day saw the intermediate and advanced groups ride together, and I watched from the sidelines. "Great," I thought. "Besides a few overzealous students running into the grass, there wasn't a single crash." Of course, that thought was interrupted by a corner worker waving a yellow flag! The reason for the crash: "It was the last session of the day, so I decided to go for it," the hapless rider said. File this under Don't. By the last session of the day-especially in hot weather-most riders will already have put in their best rides. No doubt their tires have. 5. Plan a returnIf all of the above information seems daunting, take heart: Barry Bonds didn't hit a home run on his first day at the ballpark! Look at your riding as something to improve gradually, over time. At day's end, discuss with other riders which sections of the track were the most fun and which ones put your Hanes in a knot. Decide which areas of your riding need improvement-braking, body position, visualization skills, etc.-and plan on working on those next time. And thank your instructors for getting you back to the paddock safely. It's not an easy job. By Mike Seate Enjoyed this Post?

Zags are now the most westerly team left in the tournament. New Mexico and then Colorodo next. Only Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor, Iowa State, and St. Louis are also left from our side of the Mississippi River.
I had high hopes for San Diego State, UNLV, and even Long Beach to make some noise in the tournament. The suckiness of the Pac-dozen is well documented, but does the apparent collapse of west coast hoops help or hurt the perception of Gonzaga?
The only certain thing is that no other team has any claim to "Best of the West", expecially after they beat the Buckeyes tomorrow.

My First Railway – Review
|October 11, 2011
|Posted by Toddling Mad under product review
Almost a week ago a big brown package arrived at our house and we opened it to find a Brio from WoodenToyshop gorgeous My First Railway to review. Now Little Tiger is a big fan of Trains – probably to do with the fact that we have an embankment with a railway line running along the back of our garden and his bedroom window looks directly at them so they have been a big part of his life.
But the trains that we have got him in the past have had a major flaw with them at this early stage – the trains can only go on the track so the first thing that caught my attention on the packaging was that this railway had ramps…. Nana was visiting and we unpacked the box and got out the track, tunnel, ramps and trains. As I would expect from Brio the quality was amazing, the track nice and solid and easy for Little Tiger to play putting together.
We first put the track together in a circle but Little Tiger quickly became frustrated with the train only able to go around in a circle (yes that fatal flaw of many wooden train tracks without buying extension kits) but adding the ramps and suddenly the train was much more fun. It could go on the track or around the floor – the tunnel (a lovely soft fabric tunnel) was just one of the tunnels that the train has gone through – Tinkerbell's bouncy chair is very popular tunnel. He now comes down stairs first thing in the morning and asks for his "Choo Choo Train" – Thanks to Nana it's been named and easy to work out what he wants.
I like the train and carriages that come with the set – the carriages have an apple, two bananas and three pears on them which is great for picture recognition and counting as well as each of the carriages being a different colour – but that is from a Mum that is an ex-teacher and likes things that have a multiple purpose – LT just likes them as they have magnets that he can get the carriage in front to go without touching them by turning it the wrong way round.
The set is available from the Wooden Toy Shop as are many different wooden toys – the classic wooden dolls houses look amazing as do the play kitchens if like us you like a more traditional style of toys.

he looks like he's having great fun.x
[...] this is the most asked for toy by Little Tiger, as he gets up in the morning he wants his "Choo Choo Train", he asks for his "Track Train" and will play for the longest with any of these. [...]

Cashew Brittle … and Why I dreaded Diwali
November 9, 2007 | 52 Comments
We rarely keep track of festivals. However, some festivals will find you even if you don't go looking for them. Everything in stores will be covered with specific colours, bows, or in glitter. And there's the deluge of "offers" in the mailbox. Mothers' Day is when you go cross-eyed with all the ghastly pink stuff in every aisle. (Does someone really think that once a woman becomes a mother she renounces all other colours?)
And there are the hearts for Valentine's Day.
In grade 8 biology class I learnt that human hearts are fist-shaped. Only frogs' hearts are heart shaped. So why do these marketing folks keep putting hearts on everything? Do they lead schizophrenic lives alternating as frogs? Or did they just skip biology classes?
Coming back to Diwali, our barometer to sense an approaching Indian festival is the Indian store. Clay lamps in the aisle herald Diwali.
Blogging has changed all that. For weeks now, we're been sensing that Diwali is around the corner. Three days ago, J decided, "Today is Diwali".
I never liked Diwali as a kid. I was terrified of firecrackers, and couldn't wait for the noise pollution to subside. :notlisten I used to keep my window locked at all times, for the week before Diwali, afraid that my curtains would catch fire.
One year, a week before Diwali, one of my neighbours' curtains on the third storey caught fire from a shooting firecracker, and he was out of town. By the time they broke into his apartment and doused the fire, a lot of his furniture had been destroyed.
When he returned, he was told, "It happens, you just got unlucky." He was not compensated by the parents of the kid who did it, and the kid (around ten years old) was still out everyday with his friends, setting off rockets in narrow alleyways between high-rise buildings, and waking up people at 4.30 a.m. with a string of crackers that went on deafeningly for 3 whole minutes.
My mom, being Keralite, celebrated just Onam and Vishu. Celebrated, as in, "Today is Onam, I made some pradhaman." or "Today is Vishu, here's some money, get yourself what you want." That's it.
She did make some sweets and savouries for Diwali, but it was out of obligation. We got goodies from the neighbours, and didnt want to return their bowls empty. My dad, like me, was festival-immune.
I associated Diwali with noise and pollution, Ganesh Chaturthi with traffic jams and and Navratri with nine nights of loudspeaker hell when I was preparing for my mid-term exams. The one festival I hated with a passion was Holi.
For 15 days before Holi, you couldn't walk on the street or go anywhere without someone trying to douse you with colored water or something foul, especially if you were female. Good luck if you had to hang out of a crowded local train for the week before Holi.
As an adult, I had people (some not even related to me) tell me that "you should atleast light a lamp for Diwali", with the sanctimonious "you just don't get it" tone. They take it upon themselves to educate everyone around them about 'tradition' – their own tradition, not mine.
Well, there are whole communities in India that don't celebrate Diwali, even if they are Hindus. My mom, who grew up in Kerala, had no clue what this festival was until she moved out of Kerala.
And there are some people like myself, who have heard of Diwali, and seen it celebrated, but "just don't get it". Really.
I couldn't "get" why people had to celebrate in public and couldn't confine their festivities to inside their homes or within spaces where others were not inconvenienced. I still don't. And I don't get why it should bother some folks if others don't follow their 'traditions'. As far as I am concerned, each person creates his or her own traditions.
I guess it's a control thing. It makes some people feel powerful to bully others. Throwing coloured water or a stone at a stranger, holding up traffic to take a procession through the streets (if someone has a heart attack and needs an ambulance, good luck), waking people up at 4 a.m. on a working day – all in the guise of "celebration". It makes someone feel in control if they ask others to light lamps for Diwali.
Outside India, I began to actually like and enjoy Diwali, since people celebrate it quietly and joyously indoors. The same people whose kids recklessly set off firecrackers in India wouldn't DARE move on as if nothing happened in the event of an accident in any other country.
Now, I'm beginning to "get" what Diwali is about. I'm beginning to see how the Festival of Lights need not always be accompanied by noise and callousness, and I'm glad it's not what it was when I was growing up in Bombay. I'm beginning to discover how these festivals can be celebrated in a sane and respectful manner.
But I don't celebrate them myself.
The way I see it, festivals simply mean more work for the woman of the house. Let's do a cost-benefit analysis here.
This is strictly based on my observations. In the days preceding the festival, she goes shopping for all the ingredients, buys everything (or most of the things), cooks elaborate meals and snacks, performs most of the religious rituals associated with the festival.
Men do maybe 10-20% of the work involved in organising a festival celebration in the home. And then everyone can claim that they are "upholding tradition". This is an incentive structure that doesn't make sense. If most women in most households let festivals pass by without acknowledging them, they don't get acknowledged. Often, women get flak for not "upholding tradition" and need to explain why they don't, but if you're a man, you've got it set.
Don't even get me started about following "your husband's tradition". My mom got flak for not following my dad's family traditions, but no one badgered my dad about following her traditions, or even his own.
So people expect a woman to do 80% of the work to claim she upheld a 'tradition'? What if she's not familar with it or not interested in it?
Does she constantly have to Justify? Argue? Defend? Explain??
To heck with that.
Early on, I had relatives and strangers sounding all concerned, but struggling to hide the condescension: "But isn't J a Tamilian? Don't you celebrate a, b or c?"
The fact is it doesn't matter where he's from. HE is distinct from ME. He also doesn't happen to give a rat's patootie about a, b or c. I will pour myself a margarita, and that's good enough a celebration for me. Some people think I'm betraying my 'heritage'. Well, I'm not losing sleep over it. And no, my childhood was not traumatic because my parents didn't uphold the 'heritage' according to the culture police's specifications.
J, unlike moi, grew up celebrating everything under the sun. Celebrating, as in the whole nine yards – the religious rituals and the whole array of festival foods. Now, if he wants to celebrate, I will celebrate with him. (Not for him) If not, it's not my problem.
Well, actually, let me rephrase that. If J wants to celebrate, OR if there's an event in the blogsphere, I may acknowledge a festival. :horn:
So three days ago, thinking it was Diwali, and because J was crazy busy and there was the event to think of, I made cashew brittles. To understand how a blogger's mind works, refer to this.
Then the day before yesterday, I was informed that "Diwali is tomorrow". Well, it doesn't matter. We enjoyed them and I'm sending this to Vee.
My first attempt at caramel ended up in lumpy sugar crystals. On my second attempt, I added 2 tablespoons of water and kept stirring. The crystals formed and most of them melted back down.
We used raw cane (turbinado) sugar. Jaggery works equally well. We like a lot of nuts barely held together with sugar – equal parts of each. Increase the amount of sugar if you wish.
1.25 cups of broken cashews
1.25 cups of sugar (we used raw cane sugar)
a pinch of salt
a pinch of saffron
1/2 tsp of rose water
2 tsps oil to grease baking sheet and rolling pin
1. Toast broken cashews until very light brown. (This can be done in the microwave.)
2. Grease the back of a baking sheet and a rolling pin with oil.
3. Melt the sugar in a pan to make caramel.
Here's a step-by-step demo. Use a pastry brush dipped in water to get the crystals from the side of the pan back at the bottom, and keep stirring the sugar until light amber. Using 2 tablespoons of water may help prevent the sugar from burning in the initial stages. We also added the rose water, salt and saffron when the sugar melted.
4. Add the nuts to the sugar when it turns ino an amber liquid, then quickly mix once and put the mixture on the greased baking sheet. Wear long gloves, 'cos the sugar mixture will be scalding hot. Spread it out with a rolling pin and let it cool.
5. Score and cut into diamonds.
Cashew Brittle (and Diwali B!tchfest) is our entry for Jihva for Ingredients: Special Edition hosted by dear Vee of Past, Present and Me.
We wish those of you who celebrate Diwali a wonderful festive season.

hey Guys,
The cane sugar you used , is it same as brown sugar? where can i get it
the cashew chikki looks yum , I'm so full right now but I could still eat that cashew chikki if it was in front of me right now.
Aw, I get you somewhat Bee– New Year's Eve is a frikking crapfest in these parts. I'm glad I wasn't at the hospital on that night– stitching up fingers-duty! Yikes. Then again, I can't not celebrate New Year's, heh heh But I like a quiet gathering (even if it's my job to prepare the food!).

Andrew is AMAZING!! I knew after reviewing the portfolios on his site, along with MANY great reviews from contacts at our wedding venue and in the local community, I knew we had found the right photographer. Not only was Andrew and his assistant professional at all times, but they were EVERYWHERE! It is truly amazing how many guests I spoke with after the wedding that mentioned how the photographers were all over the venue, but not intrusive at all! I just got the email with a link to all of our pictures (a mere two weeks after the wedding) and I can't tell you how wonderful they are! As the bride, there is so much you can miss during the ceremony and reception, so pictures are so very important! Andrew's attention to detail is obvious in the post-production of all images, and his calm demeanor was more than welcome on such a busy day!! I can't tell any bride-to-be enough about Andrew. If you want a photographer that will listen to your vision and deliver, all with a nice calm smile- look no further! You'd be crazy to go with anyone else!
-Megan & Chris, September 11, 2011
Just wanted to say thank you for an amazing job photographing our wedding this past September. Without even discussing it, you managed to capture the feel of our wedding. Your photos are artistically motivated, personal, and right on point! The sheer volume of creative and elegant photos that you provided us with at the end of the event were outstanding. I was surprised that you could even capture so many quality photos in such a short amount of time! I wish you the best of luck Andrew and thanks for everything!
-Nell & Lauren, September 9, 2011
Andrew!! We don't even have to see the photos to know that you were the best choice we could have made. You and Kerri were absolutely amazing. We look forward to seeing you again someday! Thank you so, so, so much.
-Alexandra & Andrew, October 9, 2010
Andrew was recommended to me by a friend. We hired him to take our Engagement Photos as well as Wedding Photos. We were amazed and blown away by the quality of his work, it truly is fine art. Not only that, but he provided us with the photos RIGHT away. He was always prompt, showed up before he was supposed to, and made us feel at ease. The wedding day was hectic (what wedding isn't?), but he was a pro and made me feel calm. I didn't even notice he was there most of the time, and he was able to capture the most special parts of our day. It was so nice when I saw the photos he took of our wedding day, most of the moments he captured I didn't even remember until seeing the beautiful photos. I HIGHLY recommend Andrew. Thanks again!
- Jenny & Dean King February 11, 2010
Andrew is great! He is a very professional and attentive photographer, and really captured our wedding in creative images. He is very laid-back and easy to work with, and knows his equipment very well. Our online gallery was up in record time, and we were floored with many of the shots, as getting married is such a whirlwind affair that one doesn't always remember every second. The images were mostly people-centric, however we also didn't have a lot of still life aspects to our wedding that would warrant capturing.
-Lavender & Ryan, June 6, 2009
WOW…that's all we can say right now…they are everything I hoped they would be.
Thank you so much Andrew.
-Colleen & Brian, June 8, 2007
The pictures are absolutely FABULOUS!!! I totally and completely loooove them! You did such a phenomenal job. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thanks again for everything, you were terrific!
-Ariel & Steve, September 10, 2007
"Thanks Andrew….and thanks too for your wonderful pictures and your quiet presence. The pictures clearly demonstrate that you were in the midst of the moment but I never felt you were in any way changing the moment by your presence."
-Cynthia (Mother of the bride)
"The photographs are beautiful and just the type Kristeen wanted. You did a wonderful job and I will recommend you to anyone I can. Thanks again, Andrew! "
-Pam (Mother of the Bride)
"You are very personable, responsible, and reliable. It was a pleasure working with you and you can be certain that I will recommend you to anyone looking for a photographer. I feel so lucky that I was able to find someone as yourself – whose photos I knew I would treasure always, but that I wouldn't be making payments on eternally. Finding you was surely a blessing."
-Mary & Derek, September 26, 2004 (My first clients!)

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Generations of Niagara area residents have strong links to Oakwood Cemetery where countless family members and friends are buried.
The story of that landmark site and how it was established is recounted in the current issue of Western New York Heritage, the illustrated history magazine. Michelle Ann Kratts, professional genealogist and local history specialist at the Lewiston Public Library, is author of the meticulously researched article.
With fascinating photos and sketches, Kratts traces the story of Oakwood from the early 1850s, when the Old Burying Ground (as it was known) had to be relocated as part of the New York Central Railroad Co. plan to reroute its lines through the downtown area. As Kratts notes, the railroad paid the Town of Niagara Falls $400 and covered the full expenses for removing all the bodies to the new site.
In case you haven't heard, Oakwood has undergone some major changes within the past couple of years, the moves designed to restore its historical significance.
The effort has been spearheaded by administrator Larry Steele, a retired electric company owner and long active member and officer of the Friends of Local History at the Niagara Falls Public Library. Other staffers at Oakwood include Tim Baxter, director of operations, and John Wilson, chief of the grounds crew. Pete Ames, a researcher and authority on local history, also has provided valuable insight about the permanent residents.
THE DOWNTURN: Brennan's Irish Pub, Main Street, Youngstown, shut down over the weekend, idling a number of employees just before the holiday season. A sign on the front door states "Closed for the Season" but local residents vividly remember that a previous such notice was effective for nearly three years.
In another blow to the Youngstown community, the Heritage Auto Inc., 201 Lockport St., closed a few weeks ago, the only place in the village to have cars repaired or inspected.
On a more positive note, the new Dory Trading Post on Main Street appears to be drawing increased interest from its wide range of collector items, crafts, art works and unique gifts. Local residents may even save travel time for their Christmas shopping. Co-owners Aaron Dey and Miss Jane are excited about the prospects for the fledgling enterprise.
VALID POINT? A reader who also is an avid sports fan asks why Niagara County Community College apparently is on a mission to recruit basketball players. A glance at coach Bill Beilein's roster shows that most of his players now are from the New York City area and others have arrived from as far away as Pennsylvania and Delaware.
"Isn't the purpose of a community college to provide an inexpensive education for area students who can not afford the more costly institutions of higher learning?" the reader asks. It not the first time I've heard from readers questioning whether that's the best use of taxpayer funds.
HELPING HANDS DEPT.: Can you spare a few hours for a worthy cause? Volunteers are needed to assist with gift wrapping in the Opportunities Unlimited booth inside the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls, Military Road. The both is staffed during all the mall hours. Proceeds from the fundraiser will support programs and services provided to individuals with developmental disabilities in Niagara County.

SPECIAL NOTE: Sister Anthony, OSF, a resident at Stella Niagara Education Park who assists with numerous tasks at Our Lady of Fatima Shrine, Youngstown, is a patient at Our Lady of Peace nursing home. She suffered a hip fracture in a recent fall. A source familiar with the nun's kitchen skills described her as "a marvelous cook." Her many friends wish her a speedy recovery.

Harbor Bridge concerns raised in off-topic discussion
March 23, 2013 12:38 PM
In a discussion that veered off the scheduled agenda Thursday, members of the Corpus Christi Metropolitan Planning Organization noted that concerns have emerged over freeway access to the planned Harbor Bridge replacement.
The project would replace the bridge, rebuild downtown interchanges and alter the existing freeway layout around downtown. It's still in the study phase.
It's not unusual for people to raise concerns about changes to freeway access, especially for a project this big. Texas Department of Transportation officials said they will bring in people from other metro areas to help them look at ways to address the access problems.
But even though the discussion lasted only a few minutes, it may have run afoul of open government laws because it wasn't on the agenda for the meeting.
The MPO's Technical Advisory Committee is a group of local political leaders, transportation officials and other interested parties who guide transportation planning decisions in the region.
Government folks present Thursday included Mayor Nelda Martinez and Glen Sullivan, director of public works for Nueces County and chairman of the committee.
Texas open meetings laws require government bodies, including committees such as the MPO, to list topics of public interest on the meeting agenda so interested people will have a chance to show up for the discussion. Thursday's bridge talk happened under a catch-all agenda item for committee members' comments and concerns.
The Harbor Bridge project, which could reach $1 billion, is one of the most expensive projects planned in Texas. It will change the landscape and skyline of downtown and could limit or expand future business opportunities for the Port of Corpus Christi, depending on its height.
Be careful of the freeway exchange plans. TXDOT had to redo the Loop 410-I35 NE exchange 3 or 4 times.

Washington State Supreme Court Justice James Johnson has been missing from oral arguments for the past two weeks and isn't expected back on the bench for the remainder of the court's winter term.
Wendy Ferrell, a spokeswoman for court, said Johnson is facing "unexpected health concerns."
"He is continuing to work on cases as possible and plans to be in the office next week, according to the Chief Justice," Ferrell said by e-mail. "He is, however, scheduled to be out for the remainder of the Court's current term." The court's Chief Justiceis Barbara Madsen.
Ferrell said that pro tem justices filled in for oral arguments on Feb. 13, 25 and 27 and Johnson expected to miss oral arguments on March 13, 18 and 20. Pro tems are usually drawn for the court of appeals or from among retired court of appeals judges.
Johnson was first elected to the court in 2004 on his second attempt. He was reelected in 2010. Before joining the court, Johnson was a long-serving assistant attorney general and had a private practice in constitutional law. The Seattle native attended Harvard University and the University of Washington school of law.

One of the best ways to find a therapist is to get a recommendation from a trusted friend or relative who has worked with a particular therapist. As in all fields, some therapists are better than others, and the match between therapist and patient or client is important.
Your family doctor can also usually recommend a good therapist. He or she probably has a good idea of who has a good reputation, and who has done good work in the past.
As a last resort you can look in the yellow pages in the phone book, or in various Online therapist directories. In the U.S. your insurance company usually has a panel of "preferred" therapists that they can recommend to you. Often they will provide you with the names of three therapists.
Here are more tips for finding a therapist.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

I will never forget the time my oldest son who was about age 5 stopped me on my way out the door to work and asked me, "Where do babies come from?" I tried to explain I was late for work and that we could talk about it later, but his curiosity was pretty high. Fortunately, his mom came to my rescue and started the discussion as I left for work. But later that day when I got home, the three of us sat down together and answered his questions.
Talking about sex with your kids can strike fear in any father's life. But having those talks with your children is an important part of fathering, and of communicating your attitudes and value to them.
So how do you start the process and what should you do to prepare, whether your inquisitive child is seven or seventeen?
General Guidelines for Talking About Sex with Your Children
For any age and any level of discussion, there are a few helpful concepts to include in your talk about sex.
Talking to Preschool Children About Sex
Even during the preschool years, children may have some basic questions. And it is time even at this young age to start talking about the values associated with close, loving relationships.
Talking to Young Children About Sex
Ages 4-8 are when the questions usually start coming. What is appropriate to say at this stage, and what is not?
Talking to Pre-Teens About Sex
The tween years are when the questions get a little more clinical, but while addressing those issues, tweens also need to hear more about the values and morals associated with sex and sexual activity.
It is often in the teenage years when hormones begin to run wild and children need the most frank and honest discussions about sex and sexuality.

If that sounds absurd, let me testify: Some of my entry-level college students spend an entire semester learning that one simple skill. Or not. When the latter is the case, they repeat the course, whatever it may be.
I should state for the record that I teach at several institutions of higher learning and, while such students are not necessarily representative of the student body at large, they aren't all that rare either - and I'm not the only instructor noticing them in class.
I once heard a fellow instructor from another discipline bemoan a noticeable absence of staples in multiple-page essays she routinely assigned her classes.

News Article
Guillermo del Toro made an exciting announcement this morning at Comic-Con. He plans on developing a feature film based on Disney's Haunted Mansion ride! More deets after the jump.
Back in 2003, Disney released two feature films based on their most popular rides. One was the immensely successful Pirates of the Caribbean, and the other was the disatrous "comedy" Haunted Mansion starring Eddie Murphy. As a life-long Disneyland visitor, it was heartbreaking to see my favorite ride get such shabby treatment.
With del Toro's surprise announcement this morning, my spirits have soared. In the hands of the man who created Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy, I have no doubt that del Toro's version will be phenomenal.
"Dark imagery is an integral part of the Walt Disney legacy," del Toro said Thursday morning. "I couldn't be more excited to be a part of my own adaptation of the original theme park attraction Walt envisioned and that remains- for me- the most desirable piece of real estate in the whole world!"

Rules For Walking The Plank
Thursday - 1/8/2009, 4:00am EST
Most of the politicals are based in the Washington area. Inauguration Day will be a holiday for most nonemergency government employees who work in the District of Columbia, or Maryland and Virginia counties and cities that are mostly Inside the Beltway. Feds outside of the DC area, a.k.a the real world, will not get the day off.
Simple enough, right?
Wrong! Nothing in government is simple.
That's because everything involved in running the government, as the Obama administration will soon learn, is a federal case. That's why they call it the federal government! Case in point:
What to do about DC area political appointees who resign on Inauguration Day. Do they get holiday pay and if so, how much?
Also, what to do about politicals outside the Washington area for whom January 20th is not a holiday? And finally, how about political executives who really don't have fixed hours?
OPM to the rescue.
Here are the official OPM rules for non-career appointees who resign effective at High Noon (EST) on that special day.
The following are examples of non-career appointees who resign at noon (EST) on January 20:
DC Area - "A General Schedule employee with a Schedule C appointment or a non-career member of the Senior Executive Service who works in the Inauguration Day area is entitled to a holiday. (The Inauguration Day area is defined as the District of Columbia, Montgomery or Prince George's Counties in Maryland, Arlington or Fairfax Counties in Virginia, or the cities of Alexandria, Falls Church, or Fairfax in Virginia.) The employee is entitled to pay only for the hours he or she would have been scheduled to work (but for the holiday) until noon on January 20."
Real World Area- "A General Schedule employee with a Schedule C appointment or a non-career member of the Senior Executive Service is employed outside of the Inauguration Day area and is not entitled to a holiday. The employee is entitled to pay only for the hours he or she works (or takes leave) until noon on January 20."
Bigger Shots- "An Executive Schedule official (e.g., Secretary, Assistant Secretary) does not have a scheduled tour of duty and does not earn or use leave. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) believes it is appropriate to pay these individuals a half day's pay (i.e., 4 hours) because the 12 hours between midnight and noon on January 20 represent half a day. Normally, Executive Schedule officials receive pay for 8 hours a day."
That wasn't so tough, was it?

Relativism is the notion that there are no moral absolute values at all, and
that all moral values are relative to time, place, person, or situation. In
other words, all these proposes that moral principles are only valid relative
to distinct cultural or individual choices, or to an extend determined within
the context of that distinct situational cultural survival.
Ruth Benedict (1887-1948), foremost American anthropologist best known for Patterns of Culture, defends morality as dependent cultural variable and the idea that a universal moral principle cannot be applied to people whose culture does not accept it period.
She derived her research proposition from studying and gathering empirical facts on both primitive and modern cultures, which reveal an extreme variation in customs, manners, taboos, moral values, daily habits and attitude among human kind. The comparison in the final cultural systems differs tremendously from one environment, culture, and society to another throughout histories. A fact that modern social anthropologists had exposed many moral cultural values incongruent to dominate Western standardization's and beliefs has empowered the quest of knowledge.
One striking fact inducted from empirical cultural observation, is the premises that support one customary abnormality function suitable in another culture. For few example out of many, cataleptic trance and delusions of grandeur which are regarded with serious psychic manifestations in Western societies is on the other hand perceived as normal trait or even assumed as a talented gift to an individual in that society. Another example also is the cultural attitude towards homosexuality; in other cultures they are permissible, and honorably assigned an effeminate role, where as in the other Western world they are seldom expose to all kinds jeers and teases.
A recent study of some island tribal group of northwest Melanesia by Fortune, described some societies are bound and built upon traits extremely regarded as abnormal in the Western societies. In the Melanesian customs, for instance, magic and witchcraft are the daily habits of occupation and if one is uncongenial to its social criteria he or she is an outcast or a beachcomber for the rest of her life. Conversely in this tribal group, an individual who is kind loving, hard working and always helpful to others were negatively portrayed as immoral, unsocial and even crazy. One shocking illustration in these pattern of cultural moral skepticism, is legitimacy to murder any bystander if a tribal Chief or any tribe member in a bereaved state over a lost relative. In such custom death is commonly affronted and avenged by another death of a person.
However, behaviors in such tribal groups which are agreed as normal with pride or rather as cornerstone to their well being is gravely abnormal and reprensible in Western moral perspective, nevertheless Benedict argue that these are evident indicators which compel us to admit what is morally normal is indeed culturally bound and defined. She articulates that if a Westerner would be transported to Melanesia, he would fall into a category of abnormality and vice-versa.
According to Benedict, no civilization ought to utilize its mores to whole the potential range of human behavior. And she stressed that every society is obliged to carry its preferences farther or rather persist in its moral values and integrate itself more completely upon its chosen basis, and thus discarding those types of behavior that are uncongenial, to maintain its dignity. However from these point of view, any other cultural preferences in moral values will include more extreme aberrant trait which are cornerstone of well social being in other society, a fact that should not be overlap in the concept of "habitual good" (pg.367).
In conclusion, Benedict said, "Majority of individuals in any cultural group are shaped into the fashion of their own cultural characteristic and not universal trait." And she highlighted the reality that the very eyes with which we see the problems (world) are conditioned by the long traditional habits of our society.
James Rachel, a professor of
philosophy at the University of Alabama and an author of Can Ethics Provide
Answers defied the argument of ethical relativism and infallibly
insisted one moral answer to all situations. He contended that the central
argument of ethical relativism (or cultural relativism) is invalid and
implausible, but credit its doctrine as "cultural difference
For example, first he pointed out the fact that ancient Greeks promote to practice cremation of their decease rather than eat it compare to cannibal tribal elements of India is a mere difference in opinion and belief, not to warrant an adequate objective truth in the funereal practice. Secondly, the horror of infanticide committed by the Eskimos on vicious situation to rescue family members from starvation and other essential needs, is in way similar to American reckless to put up with infant endurance. Needless to say in this situation again, differences in cultural beliefs or tolerance have opposing views and practice to be hold as objectively right or wrong.
Since the argument of cultural relativism challenges the ordinary belief in the objectivity and universality of moral (and ethical) truth. Rachel argues that the argument of Cultural Relativism does not buy any logic, even if their premises are true, their conclusion however still remain false. To make this point much clearer, he considers the belief that the world is flat by other people other than (roughly) spherical or round. He deducted the fact that the world is spherical in shape does not mean it is should be known to all people. And the disagreement about the shape of the world does not mean there is no objective truth in geography. Similarly, there is no reason to imply that if there is moral truth everyone should know it. Thus, cultural difference argument appears to incline on the fundamental mistake that attempts to derive a substantive conclusion about a subject (morality) from the mere fact that people disagree about it (pg. 373).
Moreover, if the difference in cultural argument is valid and true, and supposedly refrained from disparagement and criticism, Rachel argue that, first we would not be able to condemn slavery or anti-Semitism if one society claim it is morally right within their cultural jurisdiction. And secondly, its rigid moral codes would not forbid us to improve our social policies be it apartheid or women status in a society. Thus, our will to decide whether an action is right or wrong, and our incline for social progression and change, will be dictated or denied.
Conversely, Rachel emphasize indeed there is such a small cultural disagreement than it really appears. He says, "The difference in general is in our belief systems, and not our values." He illustrated with a hypothetical category of people, who believe it is wrong to eat a cow because their cultural code stress when human beings die their soul inhabit in it, and that cow might be someone's Grandma. He added in such situation "We simply disagree about whether the cow could be Grandma or not, but yet we share the same value not eat our Grandma." In other instances, he point the practice of infanticide carried out by the Eskimos as a survival and a last resort option forced upon their will by harsh period of life or otherwise they would have wipe out their own existence.
In conclusion, he addresses that all cultures indeed have some common values to hold a society together. For example rules against lying and murder are imperative to social existence and universal moral codes ought to be our answer to all situations.
In the 19th Century Christian Missionaries
from West Europe and North America spread all over the world, in Africa and
Asia they found practices of bodily mutilation they regarded as inhuman, evil
or in a calm psycho-anthropological word abnormal. In China for example, they
founded the Natural Foot Society, to counter the practice of binding the feet
of young girls. In this custom, the practice of foot-binding was done to
prevent Chinese women from straying too far from home. In many parts of Africa,
the missionaries campaigned against the practice of female circumcision they
label as female genital mutilation or FGE found in some cultures, which
led to lasting schisms in the churches. These missionaries tried to influence
colonial governments to enact laws to ban practices like these that they
strongly disapproved. Political imperialism led to cultural imperialism, and
the result is a society in which the dominant group gets to enforce its values
on those who don't share them, (Emmanuel Eze, pg 122).
Many cultures practice bodily mutilations and deformations, and in North Sudan female genital mutilation (FGM) is widely practice. This form of circumcision is widely practiced in the north where majority of the population are Muslims. Mothers are obligated to have their daughters circumcised before puberty. Most families arrange for the circumcision to take place at an early young age of 5 to 11 years old, because the belief is a ritual passage to womanhood. Females are considered girls prior to their circumcision and a woman after undergoing circumcision.
According to a published report by the International Family Planning Perspectives (June 2001), most areas in the Sudan, uncircumcised women are generally viewed as impure, unclean and thus unmarriageable. Given their lack of choice at very early age and with the traditional influence, most women accept circumcision as a necessary, and even natural, part of life, and adopt the rationale given for its existence. Circumcision of a female will raise her status in the community, simply because of the added purity that circumcision brings and the bravery that come with it. It is also conceived as cultural requirement that confers maturity and a positive sense of character, which includes the ability to endure pain and to become a submissive woman. Meanwhile to the Western feminist, it is largely regarded as an act of violence, a form of oppression towards women, and most importantly a violation of human rights.
However female circumcision to North Sudanese, they would insist that a girl will never have her conscience troubled by lustful thoughts or temptations. North Sudanese mother strongly believe that there is no risk of premarital relationships to their daughters and sons, which seldom end in heartbreak as is in the Western world, and social difficulties of illegitimate birth as in Western communities, if a girl is circumcised. They believe by circumcising a woman, the bond between husband and wife will become closer and adultery is unlikely, because there is no physical drive for the woman, only an emotional one. This practice will promote abstinence among the females, thus making marriages secure.
Nevertheless, what is unusual peculiar is that those who denounce the mutilations practice by other cultures as "barbaric" are often to quick to defend liposuction, breast implants, piercing of genital organ and bodily tattoo practiced by their own culture.
Nowadays many Western writers regard those missionaries as practitioners of "cultural genocide" because of their attempt to dissuade people from practices like foot binding. But it seems that there are still plenty of Westerners who are trying to force their own cultural values on the rest of the world.
Cultural relativism among African ideologues insist on individual ability to expand their range of choice, to pick and choose among all the cultures of the world, or to create ways of living which are entirely new or traditional. Culturalism relativity means that the ideas with which we are inculcated are not sacred or immutable. They are ideas which were developed by communities of people, and they are not the final word. This confers upon man the freedom to increase the pace of cultural evolution. There is the risk that valuable knowledge and traditions may be lost, of course, but there is also the potential to bring about enormous benefits, as the best-practices from all around the world are shared.

An alert security guard interrupted a late-night commercial burglary in progress Tuesday, and officers responded in time to nab a pair of suspects, one an off-duty security guard for the company he allegedly robbed, and recover 49 stolen laptop computers from the former corporate offices of Facebook.
The Palo Alto dispatch center received a call at about 1:31 a.m. Tuesday morning from one of the private security guards who monitor the business at 1050 Page Mill Road in Palo Alto.
The security company is contracted by Facebook to patrol their property. The offices, while no longer regularly occupied, still contain Facebook property.
The guard reported two masked men dressed in black entered the facility and were removing property. One of the suspects made eye contact with the security guard, and both suspects immediately fled while still in possession of items.
The guard determined one suspect was a black male. He was unable to determine the race of the second suspect, but obtained a description of the suspect's vehicle.
As officers responded to the in-progress burglary, a sergeant from the Palo Alto Police Department spotted the described vehicle with one occupant heading southbound on El Camino Real about to turn left onto eastbound Page Mill Road.
The suspect vehicle was being closely followed by a second car occupied by a black male. Officers stopped both vehicles on Page Mill Road at Ash Street at about 1:37 a.m.
Officers reported seeing bins of laptop computers inside the second vehicle, and after further investigation at the scene, placed both drivers under arrest. The driver of the second vehicle briefly resisted, but no one was injured.
Officers eventually located a stolen license plate and burglary tools inside the first vehicle. Police confirmed all of the laptops belonged to Facebook.
The investigation also revealed that the driver of the second vehicle was an off-duty private security guard employed by the same security company and had knowledge about what property remained in the building. The Palo Alto Police Department is not releasing the name of the private security company.
The private security company had also reported an act of vandalism at the same office on Monday (Sept. 24) at about 5:20 a.m. In that case, they had noticed a broken window pane near an exterior door.
Officers from the Palo Alto Police Department responded to that call but could not confirm that any property had been taken. An investigation revealed the two suspects got into the building at that same point of entry.
Police booked 20-year-old Brandon Simon and 21-year-old Travis Calhoun, both residents of Sunnyvale, into the Santa Clara County Main Jail. Police booked both men for commercial burglary, grand theft, possession of stolen property, and conspiracy (all felony charges).
Simon, also a security guard, had booking charges that also included embezzlement (a felony) and resisting arrest (a misdemeanor). Calhoun's booking charges also included possession of burglary tools and driving with a suspended license (both misdemeanors).
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call our 24-hour dispatch center at 650-329-2413. Anonymous tips can be e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.com or sent via text message or voice mail to 650-383-8984.

Licenses and Copyright
There are a few things that you can do that are incompatible with using the GPL. First of all, you can't derive a work from code licensed both under the GPL and the BSD license. This is because the GPL forbids imposing any restrictions beyond those imposed by the GPL, and the BSD license imposes the additional restriction that UCB and its contributors be acknowledged in advertisement.
Also, non-disclosure agreements (NDA) that prohibit you from releasing source code developed under the terms of the agreement are blatantly incompatible with using the GPL. If you sign an NDA that doesn't allow you to distribute source code, and then write code for a GPL application under the terms of the NDA, you can use your modified version of the GPL application (remember that the GPL doesn't restrict use in any way), but you cannot redistribute it.
Similarly, if your code uses a software patent, the patent must be licensed for everyone's free use, or you cannot redistribute your modified version of the application.
The Linux kernel is licensed under the GPL. This means that if you write code linked into the Linux kernel, and want to distribute it, the code must be licensed under the GPL. For example, you are not allowed to distribute the driver for a new hardware device as an object file that needs to be linked into the kernel at compile time. To do so would beg a lawsuit brought by everyone who holds copyright to some part of the Linux kernel.
It is possible, however, to distribute a driver in binary form only, under any licensing terms you wish, as a kernel loadable module. The kernel provides a public interface to which object modules can be bound at run time. The key words here are public interface. A public interface cannot be copyrighted. The declarations in a C header file and the system call interface are also examples of public interfaces, that are also not copyright-able. You can safely think of the kernel-loadable module interface as "system calls for code running with kernel privileges in kernel space".
However, it is usually not advisable to distribute binary-only kernel loadable modules, for a variety of reasons:
The public interface is subject to change at any time and is frequently changed.
It violates the spirit of the GPL that has made Linux a success by taking away users' freedom to support themselves, and some users or potential users may become vocal about losing that freedom.
Linux developers will not notify you of changes in the interface; you need to be proactive in discovering changes by "joining the kernel-of-the-day club" (downloading, compiling, and running the latest kernel every time a new development kernel is released) or you will get complaints from users that your software suddenly broke.
Maintaining a binary-only product based on a kernel-loadable module is definitely possible but doing this does take extra work, and if you don't account for the work beforehand, you may be unhappy when you need to take the time. To say this another way: most commercial software development on Linux raises no more issues than are raised on any other platform, but binary-only kernel modules do raise other issues that you would need to consider.
Sometimes people want their code to be licensed under terms that are compatible with both the GPL and the BSD licenses. There are three ways to do this.
The first involves the copyright instead of the license. You can donate the copyright to the public domain which gives intellectual ownership to everyone in the world, individually and collectively. Anyone can do anything at all with the code, with no restrictions whatsoever. Since they own the code, they don't need a license to use it.
The second involves writing a very permissive license that allows anyone to use the code for almost any purpose. As long as you don't add any restrictions that aren't in the GPL, and as long as you don't prevent other people from adding restrictions, code protected by this form of licensing can be used for projects that use the GPL or the BSD license, without legal problems. If you choose to write your own license, be sure to get legal help in doing so. There are many licenses written by laymen that are legal nonsense, and if you want to have any chance of being able to enforce your license, get a legal opinion. Also, get a legal opinion if you do want other people to be able to use your code, since without a license, it is illegal to use code you don't own. anyone concerned about lawsuits won't be able to use your code if it is licensed under non-enforceable terms, even if you have personally decided you would never sue anyone over use of the code.
Perhaps the best option, however, is this: as the copyright owner, you can license your code to anyone you like under any license you like. You don't have to offer only one set of license terms. You can offer users the choice between, say, the GPL license terms and the BSD license terms. For example, a set of libraries called PAM is being developed which will need to be linked both with GPL applications and BSD applications. Its license first gives the BSD license terms (modified not to mention UCB, since UCB isn't involved in its development), and then says, "ALTERNATIVELY, this product may be distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, in which case the provisions of the GPL are required INSTEAD OF the above restrictions." Some code in the Linux kernel has been licensed in this way.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Sameface Syndrome and other stories
In October of 2012, I was enrolled in one of my first serious animation classes, with a professor who I rather admired. I admired him so much, in fact, that I caught him outside of class time and asked him to review a few of my personal character designs. I was a very mediocre artist at that point (as opposed to now, where I'm a slightly less mediocre artist) and upon presenting my teacher with my designs, which were all intended to be different characters with different stories and different appearances, he barely had to scrutinize them before he delivered his verdict: "They all have the same face."
And, I was dismayed to discover, he was right.
Since then, I have studied long and hard, so that my female characters may no longer have the Exact Same Face. Huh…female characters. Funny how that works, isn't it?
A few months after this incident, the official character designs for Disney's Frozen were leaked.
Up until then, all we had seen was concept art, which was so far removed from these that a lot of people thought they were faked, me among them. I seriously believed that someone with too much time on their hands had photomanipulated some screenshots of Rapunzel and tried to pass them off as the official Frozen designs. After all, there was no way that a major animation studio like Disney would knowingly, willfully produce three princesses with the Exact Same Face.
And again…princesses. Female characters. Exact Same Face. Something is amiss here.
Unfortunately, I overestimated Disney, and it was revealed that these were the real character designs indeed. Even though I will concede that, yes, there are some slight differences between the Frozen girls and Rapunzel, there are zero changes in the faces of Anna and Elsa. Zero. They have the same facial structure, the same eyes eyes, the same nose, the same mouth…and while we're at it, the same body too, with the exception of Elsa being a little taller. The only differences are in skin tone and surface details, such as freckles and makeup (which, as I'll cover in a moment, don't fulfill even the most rudimentary basics of good character design — but we'll get to that). So, how did this happen? How did a design mistake that would get you called out in a beginning animation class end up in a major Disney release?
In my opinion, the answer isn't necessarily limited time, which was certainly a factor in Frozen, or laziness, or the fact that they're all CG characters (sorry, 2D animation advocates, but lots of 3D girls do not look identical). To me, this speaks to a disturbing trend in Disney's general approach towards designing female characters.
But first, some context…

Debbie's Dose of Food for Thought
"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns." ~George Eliot
For many people, autumn is their favorite time of year. Although it has been feeling like fall for some time now, this Friday, Sept. 23, is the first official day of the season. Here are a few things to enjoy this time of year.
Take time to listen to the sounds you hear outside as you are out and about. The outdoor sounds of summer have given way to the sounds of fall. Squirrels, chipmunks and other small creatures are scurrying around faster than they were a few weeks ago as they collect food. The birds are singing a different tune and many are heading south and the leaves sound dry as they rustle when the wind dances through the treetops. Change is definitely in the air.
Although our lawns are more lush than usual this year due to all the rain we've had, the leaves on the trees are turning and some are already on the ground. Before you know it, it will be time to think about yard clean-up in a big way.
It's time for apples and the final harvest of crops planted over the summer. It's a great time to go apple or pear picking and to visit local farm stands for a walk through a . Then, bake an apple pie or make fresh, homemade applesauce when you get home!
Cooler Weather
There is a snap in the air every morning and even the warm, sunny days have changed. Temperatures are in the 60s and sunset is before 7 p.m.
The is this weekend and runs The Big E, held in West Springfield, Mass., opened Sept. 16 and runs through Sunday, Oct. 2. Email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. Both fairs offer something for everyone in the family. Enjoy!

For those thinking of raising chickens, those who have chickens and want to get the best eggs for the family or anyone who wants to learn more about chickens and tips on keeping them healthy, Walden Farm and Ranch Supply is hosting seminars on Saturday, March 15, at its Weatherford location, 2551 S. Main St., and Saturday, March 29, at the Millsap location, 201 Fairview Road, for Chick Days. Learn all about what's best for your chickens and how that can result in delicious eggs.
Both seminars' start at 10 a.m. and the topic will be "Raising Happy and Healthy Chicks."
Each family attending will receive two free baby chicks and a wealth of information for raising them.
"Farm families have known the joys of raising their own poultry for years, but people everywhere are beginning to realize the many benefits of raising poultry, even if it's right in their backyards," said Larry Walden of Walden Farm and Ranch Supply. "We are excited to help families get started with their own flocks, so they too can participate in the chicken raising trend."
Throughout the duration of Chick Days, Walden Farm and Ranch Supply will have experts available to offer advice and guidance on how to raise chickens from freshly hatched chicks through laying, including details on proper nutrition to provide the best eggs. Chicken raising experts can learn new tips and beginners will learn the basics of starting their flocks.
"Last year's Chick Days activities were such a success. We're excited to help more people learn to raise their own poultry," said Walden.
Hatchlings will be available throughout the duration of Chick Days. However, it is recommended to visit the Walden website at waldenfarmandranch.com and see what baby chicks are arriving weekly.
"Besides knowing your eggs are fresh, raising chickens is a fun activity for the whole family," said Larry Walden. "For adults there's a sense of pride and self-sufficiency in raising your own food, and kids have fun while learning responsibility and contributing to the household by caring for the flock."

The latest news and views about music in Milwaukee and beyond
Do414.com raising money through Kickstarter for live music series
Between RadioMilwaukee, WMSE, and, well, us, there's a healthy number of media entities in town that offer local and touring bands the chance to perform their music for the Milwaukee masses.
Another player, Do414.com, also has its hat in the ring with its Do414 Office Sessions. But the site suggests the gear it has isn't up to snuff, so its launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $6,000 for new live sound and recording equipment.
A $10 pledge will get you a thank you email and Do414.com sticker, while a $500 pledge gets you a sticker, shirt, producer credits in some Office Session videos, VIP passes to a Kickstarter celebration party at Stonefly Brewery April 5 and a guarnateed spot at any Office Session taping for a year.
To be honest, this intentionally obnoxious, tongue-in-cheek video doesn't do the campaign many favors...but get past the intro to the minute mark for some sincere details on the cause.

Your vote for SNAP is a vote to help community cats. SNAP's goal if they win the $50,000:
•To spay-neuter and vaccinate against rabies 850 free-roaming cats
•Use 2 mobile clinics to sterilize 50 cats in one trip
•Use neighborhood volunteers to trap and return the cats
•Saturate the worst zip code in Houston with 17 trips
Project overview:
The Houston mobile clinic normally serves indigent families in their own neighborhoods by providing free spay-neuter and rabies vaccinations for cats and dogs to one day eliminate animal overpopulation in Houston and to raise the standard of care for at risk animals. The Houston city shelter has identified zip codes with the highest number of community cats; nuisance calls to the shelter; cat turn-ins by citizens; and cat pickups by animal control officers. Because the vast majority of kittens are born to undomesticated cats, to be most effective, programs to reduce cat overpopulation must primarily target community cats. The project is to saturate a small area with spay-neuter services and humane education to get the best measurable outcome that reduces these problems, one zip code at a time. Neighborhood volunteers will trap and return the cats and provide subsequent monitoring.
If you would like to help SNAP spay-neuter and vaccinate against rabies 850 free-roaming cats, visit:
Voting ends April 30th and you can vote every day!

Where: James Williams Stadium
Date: Today, 7:30 p.m.
Team Records: W.C. 0-1, M. Southern 1-0
The inside scoop: Whitley County will try to avoid going 0-2 to start the 2013 campaign, but it's going to be hard when they pay a visit to Madison Southern today.
The Eagles are led by University of Michigan commit Damien Harris, who ran for more than 200 yards last week and six touchdowns.
"Rockcastle did a good job against him for two quarters, but he wound up breaking loose," Black said. "I think you know that he's going to touch the ball, but you have to try to contain him.
"The only real way to stop a player like him is to keep him from getting the football, so you want to try and have an eight-minute, 13-play drive to eat the clock and maybe keep the ball out of his hands," he added. "When he does touch the football you have to key on him and maybe try to make them beat you some other way."
FEAR 'LES' PREDICTION: Madison Southern 49, Whitley County 13
Where: Corbin's Campbell Field
Date: Today, 6 p.m.
Team Records: K.C. 1-0, PSW 0-1
The inside scoop: The Knox Central Panthers will try to run their record to a perfect 2-0 while participating in their second straight bowl game Friday in the Cumberland Falls Pigskin Classic.
The Panthers are coming off a 51-7 blowout win over Atherton in the Pioneer Bowl, and will go up against Southwestern at Corbin's Campbell Field at 6 p.m.
The Warriors are coming off a 14-0 loss to Corbin, which saw the Warriors' offense get stifled by the Redhounds while being limited to only 150 yards of total offense while turning the ball over one time.
Even though his team will enter Friday's game as a heavy favorite, Knox Central head coach Scott Russell was quick to point out that his team can't overlook Southwestern.
"They are a dangerous team, and better than what people think," he admitted. "They are a team that if you let them get out on you, they're going to be hard to stop.
"We can't get off to a slow start like we did last week against Atherton," Russell added. "We need to come out and be ready to play."
Russell said he believes his team might be playing with a bit of a chip on their shoulder after turning in a subpar effort in their scrimmage game against Harlan County two weeks ago.
"I believe they are," he said. "We are trying to create our own identity, I guess you could say, our own legacy.
"We know we can't live on our success that happened in the past," Russell added. "We have to create our own legacy and continue to play well."
FEAR 'LES' PREDICTION: Knox Central 42, PSW 0
Where: Gilliam Field, SLHS
Date: Saturday, 8:30 p.m.
Team Records: W.C. 1-0, S.L. 0-0
The inside scoop: Matt Rhymer's South Laurel Cardinals were the lone Tri-County football team that didn't open their season in Week Zero, but they'll be in action Saturday, hosting Class 3A power Wayne County in Cumberland Valley Bowl XIII.
The Cardinals are coming off a 1-9 season as Rhymer enters his first year coaching South Laurel. He's installed a new offense, and he's the first to admit his team is an unknown, even to him, heading into the season.
"This team is an unknown, I really don't know what to expect until I see what they can do in game," he said. "A lot of things are unknown to me as well — we've got to see how we execute, compete and stand up and fight when the game is on the line.
"Those are things we'll be able to see (Saturday) against Wayne County," he added. "I know our players are excited to play."
Rhymer's squad will have its hands full Saturday against what many consider Wayne County's best team in school history.
Wayne County (1-0) is coming off a 44-14 win over Monroe County that saw the offense only rack up 258 yards, but the defense limited Monroe County to only 185 yards of total offense.
"Wayne County is a very good team," Rhymer said. "They really have it going right now. I was able to watch them in person last week and it's always good when you can do that."
"The keys for us to win this game are simple," he added. "We've got to go out there and believe we can win and have the right mindset. We also can't turn the ball over and have good ball control — we've got to hold on to the football and we've got to block."
FEAR 'LES' PREDICTION: Wayne County 35, South Laurel 7
Where: Gilliam Field, SLHS
Date: Saturday, 5:30 p.m.
Team Records: W'burg 1-0, N. L. 1-0
The inside scoop: The best showdown in Tri-County will take place Saturday when both North Laurel and Williamsburg face-off in Cumberland Valley Bowl XIII.
Both teams enter the game with identical 1-0 records and both teams possess high-powered offenses.
"They've got a pair of really dangerous football players that can break free and score at any time," Williamsburg coach Jerry Herron said. "Hopefully we can do a good job of limiting what we allow them to do on offense."
North Laurel coach Chris Larkey acknowledged his team has its hands full with the Yellow Jackets.
"Williamsburg is a good team that will make you play all four quarters of football," he said. "They have some kids that can really play good football, so we're going to have to fix some of the mistakes we made against Claiborne County."
FEAR 'LES' PREDICTION: North Laurel 63, Williamsburg 52
Where: Corbin's Campbell Field
Date: Today, 8:45 p.m. p.m.
Team Records: P.C. 1-0, Corbin 1-0
The inside scoop: The 2013 Cumberland Falls Pigskin Classic's nightcap between the Corbin Redhounds and Perry County Central Commodores pits a pair of teams against each other that are off to similar starts to the 2013 season.
Not only are the two teams coming off season-opening wins, but they each turned in defensive shutouts after holding their opponents scoreless in Week Zero. The Commodores blanked Clay County 21-0, while Corbin earned a 14-0 win over Southwestern in the Ray Correll Bowl at Somerset High School.
The shutout was the first in 29 games for Corbin, dating back to Oct. 15, 2010 when the Redhounds beat Leslie County 49-0. Perry Central's streak goes back even further to Oct. 9, 2009, when the Commodores beat Clay County, 14-0.
After the win over Southwestern, Corbin coach Steve Jewell said he will gladly take the win, but admitted there are plenty of areas to improve upon, especially if his team wants to reach the goals it has set for the season.
"A win is a win early in the season and a lot of coaches will take it either way, whether it's by just a point," Jewell said. "You watch film and our coaches are always looking for things to improve on and there's plenty because nobody is perfect.
"Hopefully we can get in and work on some things we really need to work on to get to the point that we want to reach at the end of the season," he added.
FEAR 'LES' PREDICTION: Corbin 21, Perry Central 13
Where: Lynn Camp's Mitchell Field
Date: Friday, 7:30 p.m.
Team Records: C.C. 1-0, LC 0-1
The inside scoop: The Lynn Camp Wildcats have spent the week licking their wounds after a 48-16 loss to Powell County in the 2013 Pioneer Bowl at Knox Central High School that put the team at 0-1.
It looked like the two teams would trade scores from the early stages on, but the Wildcat offense couldn't keep up the pace as Phil Russell's team lost steam early.
Russell said after that loss he didn't feel like his team was in the kind of physical shape it needed to be in to face a team like Powell County.
The bad news for Russell and company is that things aren't getting any easier this week as the Wildcats face Campbell County, Tenn.
In the home opener at Lynn Camp's Mitchell Field, Russell said he knows what he's up against, but is hopeful the team will be better after the game whether the Wildcats win or lose.
"We had our first full practice today and we went back to some basic things," Russell said. "We didn't block very well so we used that to show our kids the difference in things.
"There were several plays where if our kids blocked the guy they were supposed to block, the play would have been entirely different as far as the outcome," he added.

Second Time Around
When all is said and done after the 2014 high school soccer season, a lot of teams will measure their success by wins and losses.
THE WAY IT IS: The times, they are a changing
The times, they are a changing — especially in the Tri-County high school sports scene.
Numbers Game
The Tri-County Sports Authority youth football league, which usually fields in the neighborhood of 200 players, is about to get a little more crowded this season.
THE WAY IT IS: Football is in the air in the Tri-County
These cool summer days are reminding me of the cool football Friday nights of September and October, and with that said, these cooler temperatures have me in the mood of writing about things to come for our local football teams in the Tri-County.
Must-See Football
It's never too early to talk about what games will be the big ones for the Tri-County high school football fans to watch this upcoming season. I've tried to narrow my list down to 10 games, but honestly, it really wasn't easy to do — but I did manage to do it.
Let's just say things should be very entertaining, and interesting, for you the fan this season.
