Oceanic: Remixes & Reinterpretations (2 Disc Set)
The material on Oceanic: Remixes and Reinterpretations was originally released in extremely limited, vinyl-only serial installments, each of which contained three tracks. Thankfully, Aaron Turner's Hydra Head has released the complete set on CD to appease the vinylly-challenged. The remix is a dicey proposition. Change too much and little if any of the song's original persona remains. Change too little and the effort is left feeling duplicative and gratuitous. This balance is further complicated when the source material is as well thought of and near perfect as Isis' Oceanic. Remixes are a mixed blessing and nearly always superfluous, and fans will view the concept of this collection with conflicted interest, being excited about the opportunity to have new outlets to enjoy an album they love, contrasted by feeling of trepidation that these interlopers may have simply fucked up a perfectly good song. The nice thing about this collection of remixes is the quantity of material—although it's priced as a single album, this collection contains two discs, which combine for a total of 13 tracks spanning 90 minutes. With such an abundance of material fans are sure to feel as though they are getting their money's worth, even if they view some tracks as extraneous.
The material is split between remixes built on phrases and segments of the original material, and ambient reinterpretations that barely resemble the original songs. Individually, these ambient tracks are typically less interesting, mostly because they don't feel as connected to Oceanic, but in the context of the collection the majority of these songs work, and go a long way to break up the choppy nature of the other remixes. The other reason that this division of tracks works so well is that it mirrors the character of Oceanic, which captures so perfectly the tidal nature of contrasting heaviness and lulling melodies. One song offers the best of both worlds, as James Plotkin's (Khanate, Atomsmasher) "The Other" pulls threads from the original track and manipulates and draws them out into a carousel of echoing atmosphere. Teledubgnosis makes a go of "Maritime" with ambient droning humming layered over celestial waves, before transitioning into an echoing bass guitar, snare/cymbal loop. Fennesz' "Weight" employs a Doppler-like advancing and receding ambience, while Thomas Koner's version of "Hym" has a simmering ruminative vibe. Also weighing in with ambient works are Destructo Swarmbots, with the noisy "From Sinking to Drowning", and Tim Hecker, who contributes two My Bloody Valentine-esque reworkings of "Carry".
Artists contributing some of the more loyal reworkings include Justin Broadrick (Jesu, Godflesh), Mike Patton (nearly every band), and Oktopus from crossover hip-hop constructionists Dalek. Oktopus' take on "False Light" has dense layers of samples and a laid back, electronic drum loop. Phrases of harsh vocal lines and peculiar elongated tones create verses for the song. Mike Patton's version of "Maritime" is the remix that most clearly resembles the identity of its creator (although Broadrick's is a close second). Already one of the more lucid moments on Oceanic, Patton's version contains his falsettoed crooning to create a dreamy, loungish feel that is reminiscent of his Mr. Bungle's California. He mixes it up toward the end of the track, building a heavier, swaying melody with thick programming and bongos that contribute a world feel. One of the more unique pieces is Ayal Naor's (who guested on Oceanic) version of "False Light (Carry Edit)", a dark and menacing remix that melds the two songs together and showcases the originally buried gorgeous and heartfelt female vocal work of Maria Christopher. DJ Speedranch also takes a stab at "Carry" ("Like I Will Love Her Forever? (Fuckin Die!)", but with much different methodology. This version is much more discordant and choppy, beginning with a child reciting part of Humpty Dumpty before leaping into crashing samples of guitars and vocals. This track again places greater emphasis on the female vocals and has a nice interplay between the sweet and fragile female vocals and Turner's aggressive barks. The collection closes with one of the definitive highlights of the album, Broadrick's expansive reworking of "Hym". This is his second crack at remixing the work of Isis, after reinterpreting "Celestial" for the band's Sgnl>05 album. The fifteen-minute "Hym" opens with a lengthy segment of the droning, spiritual sounding vocal lines of the original track. The song gradually builds with more aggressive and choppy looped chords and ambience, before becoming minimalist again in the middle of the song and rebuilding in a slow and leisurely manner.
Although a slightly bloated and uneven listening experience when played from start to finish, Oceanic: Remixes and Reinterpretations is worthwhile for serious fans of Oceanic. It is a curiosity that may not see frequent spins, but is an interesting way to reconnect with the masterful Oceanic in a different way.

Our visit to New Orleans last month as part of Harrah's Greatest Weekend Ever was met with such hospitality and warmth that we feel like extended family. We cannot think of a city that deserves a trip to the Super Bowl more!
We have all seen the horrific scenes on the news from the unthinkable tragedy unfolding in Haiti. There are so many people there suffering, and so many people here wanting to help. In the wine community many of us are pulling together with Brother, Can you Spare a Bottle? and Palate Press: The Online Wine [...]
Wines rated 90 and above by Robert M. Parker, Jr., Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator's Top 100 didn't earn a medal. Wines rated much lower by the aforementioned sources were judged much higher by our competition judges. Serving temperature may have been a factor.
Garlic may seem ubiquitous and ordinary, after all it seems to be a staple in the cuisine of almost every culture, but knowing more about it can really elevate your cooking to new heights. On the other hand, mistreatment of this wondrous knob of deliciousness can ruin an otherwise fantastic dish. If you are serious about cooking great food, then garlic needs to be one of your best friends.
Our counters were cluttered. We had accumulated a number of bottles half-filled with wine that we either didn't drink because we didn't care for them, or we had wine left over from an event where there were too many wines to consume in one evening. So, what do you do with all that wine? Make a wine reduction! It's pretty simple but takes a bit of time and attention, but here's how you do it.
Grüner Veltliner is not one of the most well known wine grapes on the planet. Wines made from this grape tend to have a spicy nose of white pepper, floral perfume, and either peach or tropical fruit. The Weinrieder 2006 Grüner Veltliner Alte Reben is an excellent example of just how good this wine can be.
In the current economy, many people are looking for an alternative to traditional champagne to help ring in the New Year. Last year we told you about Cava from Spain, and we've found a few other sparklers to share with you this year as well.

Some things can only be experienced, and no matter how eloquently or accurately they are described, words really fall short. I think all great wines are like that. The best that a wine reviewer can strive for is to get just enough right so that the reader is tantalized enough to seek out the experience [...]
Amazing. You can put your name on a list for wine or beer that sells out in 10 minutes. Now that's customer service. The kind you might expect at a small store in the older neighborhoods of a big city or a small town. Or if you're an important customer at the big wine retailer. Not a huge mega-store that sits along the freeway in the suburbs. It's the kind of service that builds clientele, not just customers.
I'm sure that some folks are getting tired of reading about the trip we took to New Orleans. My apologies, but it is a city that resonates very deeply with so many; myself and Amy included. I remember watching on TV as the Saints took the home field for the very first time after Katrina, [...]
Kelly moved back to New Orleans. During our dinner she beamed about the city where she grew up, and the city where she has returned to help restore. A city that is authentic, historical and focused on tourism. She touched a nerve when she talked about so many people who have said they feel guilty about vacationing in a city that suffered so much.
We disembarked for a private tour of Antoine's Restaurant. Opened in 1840, Antoine's is the oldest in New Orleans and oldest family-run restaurant in the country. It has 15 different dining rooms, with a variety of old photos and artifacts from Mardi Gras royalty. It continued to serve wine and booze during Prohibition, we're told, by using a bit of hallway which was part of the "ladies room" to allow the men to pass through a secret door.
As we arrived at Harrah's in New Orleans, an army of staff descended to grab our bags, open doors, and guide us into the lobby where one pretty girl handed us each a mimosa, and another offered us fancy Mardi Gras beads. And this was just a taste of what was to come...

Homesteading, Organic Gardening, How to Farm, Preparedness, Self-Reliance
I am in the beginning stages of searching for land and am interested in some general feedback. I am sure this is a topic often covered on this type of forum/site but here goes anyway.
I am hoping to find and communicate with other family's who are also searching for property. Perhaps a sharing of information or ideas would prove helpful to all. I currently live in the San Antonio TX, I am however willing to consider other moderate climates. I have some specific land requirements in mind. My family will not be ready to settle the land for a few years so I would like to get head start and begin gathering info now.
I am looking forward to hearing other responses.
I am in the same boat as you, Roger. I am currently in So. Cal. Not sure where I want to relocate to. I do know it's not going to be in California! I just want a little "Hobby Farm" thing so looking for 2 - 20 acres (depending on price).
Hi Rog
I'm in GA, and my passion is helping people find their own piece of the rural landscape. If you could tell us more about the land requirements you've already identified, that would help the conversation.
I'll tell you about my journey towards farm ownership - about 14 years ago, I set out in search of a second home on water for me, and land for my daughters horses - not even remotely sure that I could satisfy both needs with one purchase. After 2+ years of searching, I found 75ac on the quiet north end of Lake Oconee, just 10 minutes east of Madison. No pasture, but the right topo to convert forested land, and the bonus was an older cabin that could be fixed up - it came free with my land! Daughter has since married and relocated to her own farm in Paris, KY, and last year we put in 200+ blueberry plants on the land as a start towards creating long term farm income. I would say that you begin with a list, but keep an open mind because living with land tends to take on a life of its own. Pay at least as much attention to the place - because living among people who value sustainable farming really matters, IMHO.
This is an exciting journey that you are starting. Those who have already started are usually very helpful and their experiences, both positve and negative can help along the way. Like Jeanne, i have a passion of helping folks make the "transition" from urban to a rural environment. You are so doing the right thing by starting your planning now. Especially determining what is important to you.
The question of where to go is one that takes some time and effort. I have written a series of articles (email if you want a copy) regarding this entire transition. In a nut shell, i've encouraged the following:
1. Put together your 10 year plan. What will you be doing, not just initially, but in the forseeable future. You want to be able to have a clear standard to compare each potential homestead with. What do you want to do.
2. Determine Where you want to live. Sounds like this is where you are at. This is the time to consider EVERYWHERE. Indeed, i would stay away from California. Find the Region you want to live in, then narrow it down to the state and ultimately county.
3. Determine if an existing homestead farm or ranch is what you want, or raw land. No right answer, but there are plusses and minuses of each. You just need to know what they are so you can do what is right for you and your family.
4. Once focused, you look at individual homesteads, again with your list of what your plan is to ensure it can be met. As you look, you want to make sure you have considered everything important to you and your family to ensure that you end up with a great homestead and not the "nightmare" homestead.
My best as you continue along!
Thanks for the valuable insight Jim & Jeanne. As for the land requirements; so far there are 3 musts. 1. The property must be raw, undeveloped land. 2. there must be live water and available ground water for a well. 3. Elevation difference, hill or slope of some kind.
As part of my five year plan I am continuing garden, raise chickens, rabbits and keep bees in order to learn some valuable skills. I hope to build a self-sustaining, thriving, multi-generational extended family homestead.
Greetings ~ Here are some comments based on my personal experience. Not saying that it is the end-all, be-all way to do things... but maybe it will give you some ideas.
We have been living on nearly 5 acres for 6 years and are moving this year. I can tell you something about raw, undeveloped land: it takes a LOT to start at the very, very, very beginning. True, with something that has been somewhat developed, you run the risk of someone else's mistakes; however, you also benefit from not having to do a lot of things yourself. And, since we are 20 miles from the nearest small town and an hour from the nearest town with over 50,000 people, getting things done can be a chore.
One example, no one wanted to deliver driveway rock out to us. Here in the desert, that meant we couldn't drive anywhere on the property without 4wd until the driveway was in. Including from the gate to the house. I called literally every rock company in a 100 mile radius and paid an extra delivery fee to get them to come out. I also had to buy a minimum amount (which was more than I needed) before they would deliver.
Another issue we had, of course, is that the well cost us several thousand dollars more than the estimate, because there are some things you just can't really know ahead of time. Ditto with getting hooked up to the power grid. And we waited 6 months to get a land-line telephone line put in (which we ended up cancelling).
Although our land was undeveloped, one good thing about it was that the perimeter was fully fenced. Besides costing over $10,000 to do ourselves, it kept our dogs in and other people's dogs out both during and after construction.
BTW, I am not sure where I originally read it, but I read that it takes 4 - 5 years before the soil in a garden reaches peak productivity. This is in keeping with my experience. Being in the high desert, we started with pure sand. 6 years later, with both purchased compost, purchased dirt and 3 years of composted chickie-poo pine shavings, the garden is actually quite productive now. I had a similar experience with the hard-rock clay in California, although I didn't have chickie-poo compost in those days, and had a much smaller garden.
I agree that water is a key point. Make sure that your "live water" doesn't dry up and die in the summer and look for flood signs for when it rains in the spring. As for available ground water, even if there is water under your property, you might want to talk to a well-digger now to find out how expensive it is to drill through different types of substrate. That way, when you are considering a piece of property, you can ask a well digger about the geology before you buy. Although we are sand for at least 20 feet down, somewhere under us was some rock that was not so easy to drill. Also, sand comes with its own headaches - needing additional shoring up. Even if you later put in another well later on (and keep or cap off the old one), having running water to start could be a real boon.
We are moving for a number of reasons. One being that both my husband and I are Southerners, and the lack of trees and green in the high desert is not working for us. Also, while I am good with living in the boonies, my husband has discovered that he is really a "small town boy." In addition, we are getting older now, and wish to be nearer to hospitals and doctors and such. Although we learned a lot and enjoyed our time here, here are some lesson's learned:
Sorry for being so long-winded! Good luck on your journey!
I am in the same boat, nice to meet you. I am considering either buying land here in Kentucky or I want to move to Florida. The reason why we are eye balling Florida right now is because you can grow vegetables and fruits all year round. It would also be beneficial for my sons allergies to live there. I am looking for about 5 acres and I want a farm, a pond, a orchard, a house (at least 3 bedrooms, but need 4 bedrooms), and a place for a garden. I know that is a big list, but I think if I can find the right land with the proper drainage and without restrictions, then that would be a great place to start. If you spot anything, let me know. It might be a year or two before we can move. I am dreaming of a farm for sure. We want to sustain ourselves and I want to eventually retire on a farm. I am a nurse and I am in school as well furthering my education. Nice to be able to see others with the same interests.
Hi, I have a house with 5 acres in north florida I am going to be looking to sell about the beginning of next year. It's a small productive piece of land, getting better every year. If you are still looking shoot me a message and we can discuss details.
Take care

Hello all, first time here. Searching for land is something that i have done many times in my 55 years. I bought my "dream farm" in 1998 after a long, long search. We visited at least 100 properties before buying ours. We felt it was just what we were searching for. Many twists and turns have happened since that happy day, and now sadly, we have decided to give up our dream here in southern WV and try somewhere else. I would agree with Karla. Raw land is very attractive in price and your ability to mold it exactly as you wish, but it's also very nice to have a head start on things like utilities and roads which can be very expensive and labor intensive. Also, a place to camp out on your property, is worth everything. Our property had no house, so we bought a little house 20 miles away..close enough, we thought to be able to travel to, to build and garden etc. We've now been commuting to our farm 40 min. each way for 15 years. We also thought we had "plenty of time". Where did it go? We should have planted our orchard 15 years ago. We didn't and and we wish we had jumped right in and begun immediately building our homestead... we have to rethink our plan now and start again. We're thinking of selling. Our farm is gorgeous. 97 ac. Rich soil, tillable acreage, pasture, woods, water. No restrictions. It begs for a homesteading family. It has a rehabilitated barn, corncrib with electric and hydrant (well). Beautiful woods, enough firewood for a lifetime. We have started a little cabin, in case we can stay, but it's looking more like we need to make a move. We would Love for someone to have this property who would care for it and respect it the way it deserves to be cared for. It is well maintained. I cleared brush and cut dead trees this winter..always something to do. If you're looking or know of anyone who is please send them to our photo sharing site. The property is located in southern WV, Greenbrier county. It is very private and beautiful. We are 20 miles from Lewisburg, which has stores (Lowe's, grocery, Walmart), airport, hospital, schools, entertainment..everything. There are farmers markets and places to sell produce. The Greenbrier resort is 10 miles from Lewisburg and is a possible place to sell produce and farm products. The climate is wonderful here in the highlands; summers, not too hot. We're generally 10 degrees cooler than the low lands. We have peas and Broccoli until July. Winter is not that bad. We have salad all winter in our cold frame. Our neighbor at the farm plows the main drive in and the road to the driveway is state maintained. There are lots of neighbors who would be interested in haying your fields for you until you are ready. Come take a look. We're happy to show it. It is someone's "dream farm"! We just waited too long. Don't put it off. Live your dream now (if you can). That's my advice. Thanks, hope to see you at our farm. Rufus. ....someone will love this farm like we do, it has a very wonderful vibe!!! coldknobfarm.webs.com for survey and aerial go to use.com/pinchcreek

What you need:
- Print out the gingerbread man below. I print it on brown construction paper. I cut the construction paper down to 8 1/2 x 11 and feed it into the copier through the side feeder. You will have to check to see if your copier does this.
- Print copies of the letters below on basic white copy paper. Cut into strips. I cut mine just a tad wider than the letters.
(See example in photo above.)
- Have the children decorate the gingerbread man with crayons and markers.
- Cut out the gingerbread man.
- TEACHERS - cut slits for sliders. You can pre-cut the sliders or let the children cut them. I prefer to cut them for them. Cut the lines so that the strip will display the letters next to "an." (Tip - I use an x-acto knife to quickly cut the slits.)
Feeding the slider into the paper. You can see the slits were pre-cut for this kindergartner and he could not wait to see the slider in action!!
This child cut the slits with scissors. Older students can manage this just fine. I prefer to do this for the kindergartners for proper place of the slider.

Intellectual Property of Open Source Software Extensions
4 Comments · Posted by Bob Brill in copyright fair use exception, copyright license, copyright substantial similarity, copyrightable subject matter, copyrights, extension, GNU General Public License ("GPL"), GPLv2, GPLv3, idea-expression dichotomy, licensing, open source software, original work of authorship, patch, plug-in, proprietary software, software
I was pleased to be asked to speak again on some topics remaining from my speeches in June and August in front of users of Open Source software. An accomplished open source software developer and I are tag teaming on the talk. We plan to discuss several technical and business aspects of intellectual property (IP) and software.
The permission-based licensing model of Open Source preserves downstream permissions to source code. Open Source relies on Copyright plus Licensing for protection and permission.
Copyright, Licensing, Open Source – General Pointers
Under US law, copyrights cover original literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, software, and other intellectual works of authorship. 17 U.S.C. § 102(a). The copyright owner generally has exclusive rights and abilities to authorize others to exercise the rights of reproduction, distribution, public performance, and display. 17 U.S.C. § 106. Fair Use provides an exception to copyright infringement, 17 U.S.C. § 107. As a short guide to fair use, I recommend: Don't Be a Creatively-Lazy Fan.
The copyright owner's rights extend to the preparation of derivative works. 17 U.S.C. § 101. Copyright protects both published and unpublished works. The form of expression, not the idea behind the writing, is protected. 17 U.S.C. § 102(b). The copyright protects against a copy that amounts to an unauthorized, substantially similar work.
An IP owner can retain ownership of the IP and grant a license to others for a selected subset of the rights. The license can be exclusive or non-exclusive to the grantee. In general, the terms and royalties may be negotiated.
In various situations, businesses may coordinate an approach to employ Open Source Licensing –permissions– in tandem with Proprietary mechanisms –rights– (including Patents and/or Trade Secrets). In Open Source "free" refers to freedom, not price. People who redistribute free software are encouraged to charge as much as they wish or can.
A prominent class of free software licenses is the GNU General Public License (GPL) including its versions 2 and 3 (GPLv2 and GPLv3). The open source aspect is the source code must be made available to whom the binary file is made available. You can charge any fee you wish for distributing a copy of the software, with a pricing limitation that the fee to download the source code cannot be greater than the fee to download the binary file (i.e., the executable). After someone pays your fee, they are free under GPLv2 or GPLv3 to release the software to the public with or without a fee.
As further background, folks may be interested in reviewing some of my earlier posts on Open Source and Intellectual Property Law.

Right Here, Right Now
Today's topic focuses on software add-ons, including extensions, plug-ins, and patches. We will walk through the technical analysis to review particular situations. The technical terminology may have some flexibility, so the terms "add-ons, extensions, plug-ins, and patches" are meant to indicate the subject matter, rather than force the treatment.
Our Open Source model for discussion is the GNU General Public License (GPL). Useful resources on this topic are the relevant Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about GNU Licenses. We'll use that input from the GNU Project as our guide.
Let's look at the licensing relationship between a main program released under the GPL, and plug-ins used by the main program.

If the main program uses fork and exec to invoke plug-ins, then the plug-ins are separate programs, so the license for the main program makes no requirements for the plug-ins. The fork function is the primitive for creating a process. The exec family of functions is for executing a file as a process image.
Single Program
Where the main program dynamically links the plug-ins (i.e., dynamic linking occurs at run-time), and the main program and plug-ins make function calls to each other and share data structures, the treatment is as a single program. This single program would be treated as an extension of both the main program and the plug-ins. So, the plug-ins need to be released under the GPL or a GPL-compatible free software license.
Borderline Case
Toward favoring GPL control, the main program may dynamically link plug-ins. Moving away from GPL control, the communication between the main program and the plug-ins may be limited to the main program invoking the chief function of the plug-in with some options, and waiting for return from the plug-in.
Let's look at the licensing relationship between a non-GPL main program, and plug-ins released under the GPL.
No special requirements
As above, if the main program uses fork and exec to invoke plug-ins, then the plug-ins are separate programs. So, the license for the plug-ins makes no requirements for the main program.
As above, where the main program dynamically links the plug-ins, and the main program and plug-ins make function calls to each other and share data structures, the treatment is as a single program. This single program would be treated as an extension of both the main program and the plug-ins.
So, that combination of the GPL-covered plug-in with the non-GPL main program would violate the GPL. A possible workaround is to add an exception to the plug-in's license, which would then miss strict GPL but could still support Open Source, giving permission to link the plug-in with the non-GPL main program.
We can also continue review of a borderline case as further above about the GPL main program, in this context of a non-GPL main program and a GPL-covered plug-in. Similarly, the non-GPL main program dynamically linking with GPL plug-ins favors a more connected aspect under GPL. Communication between the non-GPL main program and the GPL plug-ins being limited to invoking the chief function of the GPL plug-in with some options and waiting for the GPL plug-in to return, favors more autonomy for the non-GPL main program out from under the GPL.
As a guide on patch aspects, I refer to chapter eleven from a book given to me by the host in thanks for my talk in August. For our discussion, let's consider a patch received from a third party that serves to fix a bug in a computer program. The question posed: is the patch eligible for copyright protection?
Length of the Patch
Support of the author of the patch's copyright protection may be viewed as proportional to increasing lines of code, perhaps measured in increments of ten. Seen in the opposite direction, brevity of the patch disfavors independent copyright protection for the author of the patch.
Quality of the Patch
Code elegance and/or explanatory commenting lend support to copyright protection for the author of the patch. Mechanicalness (i.e., lack of ingenuity) of the patch disfavors independent copyright protection for the author of the patch.
Where a patch author sends the patch to a software project manager out of the blue, a limited implied right may exist from the fact of that submission. The recipient may have an implied right to apply the patch to the project sources. In the Open Source context, the analysis of licensing for downstream publication and distribution of the main program and patch may proceed as we already discussed above, speaking about the relationship between a main program and plug-ins.

Yes, I survived round 39 playing Call of Duty classic zombies in Der Riese with DarkestTY WIZZY (47 his high rounds). And yes, two players only without doing any glitch.
The longest round is 36 and more dogs with zombies making it harder to play the game but it's fun.

Mon. UPDATE: Manahawkin Man Flying Plane is Commercial Pilot
No injuries to pilot or passenger when plane lands on Bay Head beach
A Manahawkin man used his professional piloting experience to land a small, rented plane on a Bay Head beach as it rapidly lost power Sunday afternoon, police said on Monday.
Christopher McMenamy, 31, who is a commercial pilot flying DC-10s, had rented the Cessna Skyhawk II from an airport in Princeton, said Bay Head Lt. Geoff Barger. McMenamy was shooting aerial photography before he had engine trouble and landed on the beach near East Avenue and Johnson Street at about 3:40 p.m., said Barger.
"He had to land somewhere and glided onto the beach as best he could," Barger said.
The pilot and his passenger, whose name is not available, were not injured, Barger said.
The plane was moved south down the beach to Williams Place and then onto East Avenue, Barger said.
"That was the easiest place to take a plane off the beach" given the width of the wing span, he said. "We didn't want to take the wings off the plane.
"And that was the best spot to move it off the beach because there are a couple of empty lots there where there used to be houses," said Barger, referring to damage wrought by Superstorm Sandy.
The wings are still on the plane but are a bit damaged, Barger said.
The Federal Aviation Administration examined the plane on Williams Place and is likely still investigating the cause of the engine failure, Barger said.
A Patch reader reported in the Comments section and on the Patch Facebook page that the plane nearly hit he and his daughter.
"This is the first I am hearing of this," Barger said. "And, if that was true, I'm not sure what else the pilot could have done. He had to land somewhere. It was coming down.
"Once the plane landed, it rolled down the beach about 40 yards" parallel to the shore line, Barger said.
On Sunday night, Bay Head police reported on their Facebook page that just after the plane landed, it hit a cinder block on the beach and flipped.
The pilot and his passenger had disembarked from the plane, which was upside down on the beach, and walked to an ambulance where they were checked, said Bay Head Assistant Fire Chief Joe Todisco at the firehouse on Bridge Avenue in Bay Head.
The Bay Head Police Department, on its Facebook page, reported on Sunday night: "At approximately 3:40 PM this afternoon, a small plane made an emergency landing on Bay Head beach between Johnson and Chadwick Streets. The Cessna Skyhawk II reported engine trouble while flying north along the coast and glided to a landing. While taxiing the aircraft to a safe location, the landing gear struck a cinder block on the beach, causing it to flip over. Pilot and passenger were uninjured and the plane was removed from the beach and taken to a safe location to be examined by FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) investigators."
State police and local police, fire and first aid squads from Bay Head, Mantoloking, Point Beach and Point Borough assisted at the scene. A crew removed the plane through an entry point on the beach at Williams Place in Mantoloking, Todisco said.
Initial information given to Patch that the plane had been low on fuel and that the wings were removed by authorities to facilitate moving it were not correct.
Patch will update this story as more information becomes available.

If the plane landed on the beach in Bay Head, how is it being removed in Mantoloking? 2 different towns.

The plane was coming right at me and my daughter. I wouldn't say it was taxiing when it flipped. While it way landing the wheel hit a cinder block and the plane flipped. If the plane didn't flip it would have run me and my daughter over.

The guy is a commercial pilot. I'm pretty sure he can fly it well. No one was injured, good job.
11:30 am on Monday, December 24, 2012
If you mean who gets to fly one, we do. It's called a pilots license. While we're at it, how about licensing dog ownership, conceiving children and voter eligibility.
2:17 pm on Monday, December 24, 2012
Too risky...no need for people to fly and use gas foolishly while increasing their carbon footprint. Ban these for the greater good.
6:41 pm on Monday, December 24, 2012
I assume you're kidding but just in case you aren't, what is your opinion on gasoline and diesel burning boats and automobiles? Ever try to take a sailboat out of the bay and back on a fishing trip? Ever try to come home on the bus with three sacks full of groceries when it's a mile from your house to the bus stop just for starters? I sort of agree with you when it comes to the cigarette boats that used to charge up and down the bay but the price of gas seems to have mostly solved that source of noise pollution.

I want this man to be my pilot on my next flight. Kudos to him and the passenger he saved for sucessfully landing the plane on the beach. Not too many pilots can crash land and walk away to fly another day.

Why do you always expect or demand that people say nice things. Is this not about the free exchange of thoughts and ideas. Even if they are not nice or agree with yours.
6:52 pm on Thursday, December 27, 2012
Why is it that you always have the negative comment? The plane was rented. How 'b out nif you don't have anything good to say, you don't say anything at all?
Robert M Cyr
7:48 pm on Thursday, December 27, 2012
I witnessed the the whole thing and give credit to the excellent job the pilot did. He landed that plane in the only open area that had no people between me and another group further south. If it wasn't for the cinder block he hit that made him flip it would have been a perfect no engine landing.

Bryan County residents gathered at Market Square on Thursday evening to honor fallen police officers. As part of National Peace Officers Memorial Day, a ceremony was held to remember those in Bryan County Law Enforcement who lost their lives in the line of duty.
Durant Police Chief Durward A. Cook began by recognizing the family of one of Bryan County's fallen.
He told the family of Bryan County Sheriff's Deputy Michael Pace that he wanted them to know that Michael's sacrifice would never be forgotten.
Calera Police Chief Don Hyde also recognized one of the fallen by name. He said each year he wears the badge of a man he didn't even know to remember the sacrifice he made.
Hyde wears the badge of Caddo City Marshal Morgan Haddock, a relative of Hyde's.
As the names of each of Bryan County's fallen was read off, a red rose was placed in a wreath before the crowd. The wreath was adorned with eleven roses to honor each officer who died in the line of duty.
Durant City Manager Jim Dunegan and Durant Mayor Jerry Tomlinson both spoke at the event proclaiming their pride in the people who sacrificed their lives to protect others.
Dunegan said that it is a shame to lose such people because the work they did shows that these were quality people that were lost.
Guests were invited to stay when the ceremony ended to fellowship and show support to one another. Cook said that this event is important to the families of the fallen and to the ones still in law enforcement.
"It's important to the families of the fallen and to officers to know the sacrifices they've made won't be forgotten," said Cook.
Those remembered at the Ceremony were: Bennington City Marshal James Eli Parish, Bokchito City Marshal Carl Lee "Don" Hart, Bokchito City Marshal Warren N. Smith, Bryan County Sheriff's Deputy Michael D. Pace, Bryan County Sheriff John Ellis Williams, Caddo City Marshal Morgan Haddock, OK ABLE Commission Agent Lori Dean Thomas, OHP Trooper Houston F. "Pappy" Summers, OHP Trooper Billy Gene Young, OHP Lt. Pat Grimes and Duputy U.S. Marshal Abner David McLellan.

Alicia Keys is devoted to one day stamping out HIV/AIDS. She raises money for research and treatment, and has long worked to get the word out about how HIV/AIDS affects people around the globe. Now, Alicia is lending her support to a new campaign from the non-profit group Greater Than AIDS.
"I've done a lot of work with international AIDS issues," Alicia says in a special video for Greater Than AIDS' "empowered" campaign. But instead of only focusing on what's happening outside of the U.S., Alicia says that she's also concerned about making a difference closer to home. In 2001, Alicia says she was introduced to a group of women living with HIV/AIDS in the U.S. "There were these incredible women all in one room, and they were sharing their stories, you know. And they were living right here in America, and were just like me," she says.
"I realized right there, like, 'Wow. There's a whole thing going on in America that I need to turn my attention to as well..." Alicia explains. In the Greater Than AIDS clip, Alicia speaks with five women -- each from different walks of life -- who have been affected by HIV/AIDS.
More than one million people are living with AIDS in the U.S., and one in four of them are women, according to Greater Than AIDS. To combat those statistics, Alicia has joined the organization in encouraging everyone to educate themselves about HIV/AIDS, share what they learn, protect themselves, get tested and get treated.
She's asking people to share her "empowered" video, and check out the Greater Than AIDS "empowered" campaign online.

Great tool for increasing hits! The trainer really has helped my son to be a better hitter. I haven't pitched to him since he gave me a bloody nose a few years back. This is also independent , so I don't have to shag the balls and pitch - he can do it himself. May 5, 2013

RIGHT? but tumblr does this to everything
a huge chunk of the sherlock fandom is annoying? oh shit, anyone who watches sherlock is an idiot, the show is awful, its actors are awful, the writers are awful, everything about it is awful and you should be ashamed to like it.
now just replace "sherlock" with any other popular series
#oh my god you guys i just have so many stiles feelings and i haven't even finished the show #i've just never seen such a selfless character on any tv show ever #fucking ever #you can stab him in the back — you can stab him in the FRONT — and he'd still be there if you needed him #he will lay down anything to help #he'll show up when you call no matter and even if what you're asking puts him out #makes him uncomfortable #he'll do it because that's what stiles does — he helps #at whatever cost to himself and no matter what you've done to him lately or how he's feeling he'll do it because you asked #the only person he has is his dad and i've got to say i'm fucking sick of people like scott asking him #to put his dad in danger because stiles inevitably does it because he was asked #he doesn't have anyone EXCEPT his dad to care about him half as much as he cares about other people #and yet he still called him when they were trapped in that school knowing the risk #most of the time he's the only one who thinks about the sensible thing to do #and he's STILL overlooked and ignored and treated like garbage #like a doormat #even by his best friend #when he got so excited to make first line? i wanted to cry #how much attention does this kid not get and STILL HE'S SO FUCKING GIVING #I JUST WANT TO CRY AND BOTTLE MY TEARS AND SELL THEM #AND LABEL IT STILES IS A FUCKING LIFE RUINING ASSHOLE #GOD WHATEVER

True dat......They should nerf crying!!!!!!!!!!
FMG is too much I know this because I started using it again. At first I thought it was cool for the first week when this game came out then I got tired of it and switched to different secondary weapon. THEN a lot of players use it to kill me so my counter is to use it against them so I put it back as my secondary weapon. No recoil and fire rate is just wow...
All they doing to the type 95 is reduce the hipfire? LOL I dont feel bad if I use it now. I love 3 round bursts and I love the Type 95 iron sights ill probably put on some extended mags when I use it some more.
SO basicly sense they are removing some of the hipfire spread it should be more accurate from the hip right? LOL
They will probibly just go back to Halo 3... lmao

EAST BEND - Forbush soccer standout Jennifer Baity became the second sibling in her family to reach the collegiate ranks.
After her older sister Jessica signed to play for North Carolina State two years ago, Jennifer joined her at the college level in February, inking her official letter of intent to suit up for Pfeiffer College next fall.
"Ever since I was little, I wanted to play for State. My sister achieved that dream for me," she explained. "When I tore my ACL, I started looking around. Coach Elijah Denton, my coach from when I was little, is an awesome guy and I can't wait to play for him at Pfeiffer. He told me to come tour Pfeiffer and that I would like it. I told him 'I don't even know how to spell that!'
"It's crazy because I've been playing my whole life, and this moment is finally here. I've been thinking about it all week. Ever since I was little, I always wanted to play in college. And finally it's happening," Baity continued. "Now mom has two collegiate soccer players, so we joke on her being old."
But Baity's road to the collegiate level wasn't easy. A preseason ACL injury forced her to miss her entire junior season - a void that was felt on the field.
"We really missed her last year and you could see what she adds to the team when she's out - we're glad to have her back," Forbush head coach Kenan James said. "She has a great work ethic to be able to come back from an ACL injury. She is very technically and tactically sound; obviously you can't get to this level if you're not.
"She understands what it takes to prepare, and that will help her at Pfeiffer," he added.
While sidelined last season, Baity began looking around at other college programs before narrowing her choice down to Pfeiffer. After looking at Elon and Catawba, the senior picked the private Division II school in nearby Misenheimer.
"When I went there, and as soon as I was on campus, everyone was so awesome there. I just felt like that is where God has me in my life," she explained. "It's just a place where I fit in. It's a small community, kind of like Yadkin County. I feel comfortable there, and I love it."
But before leaving Forbush, Baity is "chomping at the bit" to get back on the field for her senior season.
"After missing last season, I cannot wait to play this year - I'm like chomping at the bit, I'm so excited," she said. "We have a bunch of good freshmen coming in and we're pumped to get them on the field. We're looking forward to winning a conference championship. We have high expectations."
James will be looking towards Baity as a leader on and off the field for a young Falcon squad.
"I think captains and leadership in teams is under appreciated. So to have someone who understands what it takes to be successful, to put in the extra work, to have a positive attitude and to assume leadership roles is pretty vital to the team," he explained. "She'll set the example for the hard work that is needed. I'm sure she'll step in and take the critical free kicks and penalty kicks for us. Those are very important things to your team and we missed that from her last year. It should be huge for us.
"She's a verbal leader, but leading by example is a big thing," James added.
Aside from playing for Forbush, Baity suited up for the Winston-Salem Twins, the 94 Soccer Fusion Elite and the Yadkin Fury, while also playing Olympic Development Program soccer.
The senior encouraged other high school soccer players with college dreams to pursue playing at the next level.
"For anybody else who is thinking about doing playing at the college level, I encourage them to do it. It's definitely a moment every soccer player should experience because it's so rewarding," she said.
"I want to thank my family for always supporting me and my soccer coaches here. Thanks to Christ for always giving me the strength to do what I want to do," Baity added.

Garrett + Moulton Productions' enchanting 'Enchantment'
DANCE This weekend the parade of holiday entertainments started off on a festive note, and it wasn't thanks to another interpretation of The Nutcracker or good old Scrooge. It was a brand new charmer from two experienced choreographers who pooled their artistic resources in 2008 to form Garrett + Moulton Productions. Given Janice Garrett and Charles Moulton's different artistic temperaments, this union sounded like an iffy proposition. But with three hits to their credit, the duo has proved that opposites do indeed attract.
Garrett and Moulton's newest endeavor for their four dancers, Angles of Enchantment, might not have been quite as consistently involving as their previous collaborations — but it was such a pleasure to watch the skill with which they handled the tasks they had set for themselves.
Angles was a frothy, endearing, and at-times rambunctious quartet that manages to suggest that we may not be doomed to live frantic lives without time or space for fantasy, abandon, and such a thing as pure fun. It was an excellent antidote to holiday anxiety.
The work's biggest surprise, and one of its chief attractions, was Peter Whitehead's imaginative score. In dance, music usually fulfills a supportive role. Here its high profile often drew not-unpleasant attention to itself. With his splendid collection of instruments — from kids' noisemakers to homemade banjos — Whitehead called up a vibrant soundscape. A gentle singer, his lyrics spoke about the small joys and small pains of ordinary people. This kept Angles' sometimes madcap fancifulness grounded. The music even suggested narrative threads. It made me wonder how effective Angles would be without that emotional backbone.
In the beginning, when the four dancers momentarily hooked up one-on-one, only to frantically pursue someone else in the next spotlight, it wasn't clear whether they were playing or escaping. They leaped and grasped and tumbled, piling up on top of each other. But then, after a blackout — there were several — the dancers reappeared as if kissed by fairy dust, cavorting in the most ridiculous tutus and matching headdresses. The whole thing began to feel like a Midsummer Night's Dream.
Tegan Schwab became an airborne, mischievous fairy with fingers and feet aflutter, when she was not interfering with Whitehead's music making. A little later she morphed into a majestically promenading tree under which Nol Simonse found momentary respite. Lanky Carolina Czechowska, perhaps a wood sprite, sported what might have been an acorn hat — until she returned in a black tutu and sexy gloves, as a sexy sorceress whose breath made everyone tremble.
Tanya Bello and Simonse, both of them longtime colleagues in the company, paired up for a series of quasi pas de duex. They were our lovers, teasing each other with playful touches and kicks. Sitting together on a bench, they looked like the end of a Hollywood movie.
Bello barely comes up to Simonse's chin, but their yearning arms interlocked as equals. And if Bello and Simonse are physically different, temperamentally they are even farther apart. It's what gave their dancing together such frisson. Bello was a witty whirlwind, whether she spun like a top or raced circles around a partner. Languid and fluid, Simonse could not deliver an inexpressive gesture if he tried. He remains a marvel of a dancer.

"Scene of Reynolds Fight with Longstreet the First Day," Alfred R. Waud
New York City Saturday, February 9, 2013
Historians Craig Symonds, James McPherson and Harold Holzer discuss the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg. The three-day battle fought in Pennsylvania from July 1st through 3rd, 1863, was the bloodiest of the war, resulting in an estimated 51 thousand total casualties. This is the first in a two-part series on the battle, hosted by the New-York Historical Society.

Filmmaker Steven Spielberg talks about the Battle of Gettysburg and Abraham Lincoln's legacy at an event marking the anniversary of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Mr. Spielberg is the director of the film "Lincoln," which is based on the book "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin and focuses on President Lincoln's last months in office. This event took place at the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
Mary Elizabeth Bowser was a former slave who became a Union spy in the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. She was part of a pro-Union underground spy ring run by Elizabeth Van Lew, the daughter of a prominent Richmond citizen. In this program, authors Elizabeth Varon and Lois Leveen talk about the life and story of Ms. Bowser, as well as her relationship with Ms. Van Lew. The two authors also discuss how they wrote and researched their books. The event took place at the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond.
The Catoctin Center for Regional Studies hosted a two-day conference on African Americans and the Civil War at Frederick Community College in Maryland. In this program, you'll hear first from historian James McPherson, who examines the reasons for recruiting black soldiers for the war effort. He also discusses the shift from fighting to preserve the Union to fighting to end slavery. Then, Columbia University history professor Barbara Fields looks at racism and slavery during the Civil War era and the motives behind emancipation.
The National Park Service rededicates Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial. As the nation marks the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and after a six-year restoration effort, Americans can once again see the house much as Lee knew it.
Historian Frank O'Reilly of the National Park Service discusses the Battle of Chancellorsville, which was fought from April 30th to May 6th, 1863, in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. The fighting resulted in more than 30 thousand total causalities. Historians widely consider the Battle of Chancellorsville to be Confederate General Robert E. Lee's greatest victory.
Scholars discuss the contributions of U.S. Colored Troops during the Civil War and how they are remembered at various battle sites. The panel also takes a critical look at the characterization of black troops in the 1989 film "Glory," which focuses on the 54th Massachusetts – one of the first all-black units to fight for the Union. This event was part of a conference at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania.
Civil War scholars give a historical perspective on the physical and mental battlefield trauma suffered by soldiers in fighting the bloodiest war in American history. More than 625,000 Americans died in the Civil War, and some historians believe the death toll exceeded 700,000. This event was part of a conference at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania.
Each year, Time magazine selects a single person who had the most influence on events during the previous twelve months. If the same question were posed in the year 1863, who would Time have selected as the Person of the Year? The Museum of the Confederacy and the Library of Virginia considered that question by inviting five historians to nominate someone for the title. Before the audience cast their votes for Person of the Year 1863, each historian presented an argument for their nominee and responded to questions from the audience.

Chennai, 9 September 2012. Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa's proposed visit to the Buddhist centre at Sanchi in Madhya Pradesh has become further vitiated with Union shipping minister G.K. Vasan insisting that his trip was at the invitation of the BJP and the UPA government had nothing to do with it.
Asked to comment on Rajapaksa's Sanchi visit in the midst of loud opposition from several political parties in Tamil Nadu, Vasan told a reporter, "He is coming at the invitation of the BJP. You should ask them".
Reiterating his stand against India offering military training to Sri Lankan defence personnel, Vasan said he had met defence minister A.K. Antony to emphasise the same.
He however condemned the attack on Sri Lankan pilgrims in Tamil Nadu and said, "Religion, art and sports are beyond politics and no public should be harmed.
Military training and cultural exchange are two different things and there is a need to stop giving political intonations to matters relating to culture."
"Our approach should not harm Sri Lankan Tamils", Vasan said, adding, "We are more concerned about the safety of Tamil Nadu fishermen. Our external affairs ministry is talking to the Lankan officials about this".
On the coalgate scam, the minister said, "UPA stands clean and so we are ready for discussion. But BJP is scared of talks and so they are disrupting the Parliament".
On the inclusion of OBC in government promotion list, he said, "we will take the matter up for consultation".

Babies: what amazing creatures! They are born with the ability to see and hear almost as well as full-grown adults. They triple their size in their first year. And by the age of two, the average baby has had more than 7,200 diaper changes! What effect does all of that diaper changing have on babies' skin?
Baby's skin
That waxy coating a baby is born with is called vernix, and it is the best skin defense in the world! (Never wash it off! Massage it in!)
Your baby's skin is 20-30% thinner than an adult's, and it loses moisture much more quickly. Because it is so thin, the lotions, soaps, shampoos, creams, pastes, detergents, and ointments we use penetrate much more readily and quickly–for better or for worse. More about that in just a moment!
Your baby's skin is also more prone to infection than an adult's because his immune system has not had time to build up resistance to common microbes. Friction from cloth or disposable diapers can provide microbes with a weak spot in your baby's dermal defenses. Add feces and urine, and you have a closed, moist environment with a high pH (alkaline or basic) that encourages fecal enzymes to further irritate baby's skin while microorganisms thrive.
Artificial fragrances, harsh detergents ("hypoallergenic" does not equal "gentle"), chemicals in many best-selling soaps/shampoos, and preservatives are all prime candidates for irritating a baby's skin.
Not even "baby" powders are safe. (The Environmental Working Group has an excellent database of cosmetics, their ingredients, and their safety. There is an entire section for babies and moms.) The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends not using powders on babies' skin; airborne talc can cause lung problems while plant-based powders feed fungal infections.
As parents, we owe it to our children to be aware of the chemicals we are buying in the laundry soaps and softeners, shampoos, lotions, ointments, pastes, and ointments that come into contact with our babies' thin and vulnerable skin.
Diaper rash
Babies are most susceptible between 8 and 10 months, but diaper rash can occur at any time. Though there are many causes, there are two things parents can provide that will help: air and barrier creams/ointments/pastes.
According to the Mayo Clinic:
"Give your baby as much diaper-free time as possible so that his or her skin can have a chance to stay dry and start healing. When you do use diapers, change them frequently and apply a diaper rash cream or ointment to act as a barrier between your baby's skin and a dirty diaper."
AAD also recommends keeping it simple when treating babies' skin for diaper rash: warm water and a washcloth for cleaning, plenty of air for drying, and a barrier cream, preferably with zinc oxide.
With Aloe Baby's Tender Defender, you can give your baby both the air and barrier her bottom needs. But she will also get natural botanicals that support wound healing and skin regrowth. When you use Aloe Baby's (patent pending) approach to diaper rash treatment, you will be providing both a bio-active nutritive layer to support healing and important air drying time before applying a barrier cream.
