Bereavement services (care for the grieving)
The mission of Duke University Hospital Bereavement Services is to facilitate and support healthy grieving for patients, families, and significant others before, during, and after death, and to educate and support the staff who provide their care.
"The way we deal with loss shapes our capacity to be present to life more than anything else. The way we protect ourselves from loss may be the way in which we distance ourselves from life. We burn out not because we don't care but because we don't grieve."
-- Rachel Naomi Remen Kitchen Table Wisdom

Alamo MAC to be decided Tuesday
Original post made on Aug 9, 2009

Just remember, we the people have the power. If anyone tries to screw up our communities, tear them down
on Aug 9, 2009 at 12:35 pm
Yes, and I would add that if the benefits of a "MAC" cannot be clearly articulated, then why should we have one? I've been a resident of Alamo for four decades, and we seem to have gotten by without a so-called "MAC" and incorporation up to now. Do we really need more or different bureaucracy?
I say let the bureaucrats who are proponents of these measures get real jobs in the public-sector, and help the economy by producing profits instead of marking time in sinecures until they are able to start collecting their generous pensions.
on Aug 9, 2009 at 7:36 pm
Supervisor Piepho, the proponent of the MAC since she came into office in 2004, wants this for Alamo. She like Warren Rupf the Contra Costa Sheriff know the county is broke and with incorporation voted down a MAC is the option left (Rupf speech of 7/16/09 titled: Contra Costa County: Not just Broke but Broken. Where Do We Go From Here?). All who understood governance knew this would happen for Alamo- like it or not you voted the county to be in charge.
As to Paul saying Alamo has got by without bureaucracy is just his lack of awareness and his lack of knowledge of local governance. You already had County government, there were already decisions being made and money misspent from your tax dollars. Yes, Alamo needed to change as county bungling and bad decisions over years resulted in Alamo losing many issues - it is/was broken that is why incorporation surfaced in the first place.
Aware or not you voted for county/supervisor decisions to continue even though those decisions were not liked by Alamo citizens. You voted in the mind of the County and Supervisor to have a MAC.

In a bombshell that will have major ripple effects around the league if true, Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard has informed the team that he will not opt out of his contract this summer and stay with the team for the 2012-13 season if they do not trade him, according to multiple reports. The news was first reported by WFTV in Orlando and confirmed by Sam Amick of Sports Illustrated. Via WFTV:
According to sources, Howard told the team of his plans during a meeting in San Antonio on Wednesday afternoon. They said Howard will opt in for the final year of his contract so long as the Magic do not trade him.
Both reports make clear that Howard has not signed anything and hasn't given the organization anything beyond a verbal promise. However, if he follows up with the paperwork, this could potentially signal the end of the Howard trade rumors, at least for now. Howard has one year and $19.5 million left on his contract, but had the option of foregoing it to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
If he indeed signs the papers, it could have a major effect on the New Jersey Nets' strategy. The Nets were long seen as the front-runners for Howard, thanks to location and the ability to pair Howard with star Deron Williams. But Williams is also a free agent, and many believe he could head to the Dallas Mavericks this summer if Howard does not come.

The Evesham Police Department is asking for the public's help to identify a duo who stole money and electronics from a church.
According to police, on October 19, 2013, the Evesham Police Department responded to the Church of St. Isaac Jogues, for a theft complaint.
Investigation and examination of surveillance determined that a white male took two trips into the church. First time, he emptied some money from a "poor-box." Second time, he along with his suspected white female accomplice, removed and loaded a 60 inch LCD television from into the getaway vehicle. The vehicle, according to authorities, is a newer model black GMC crossover style vehicle.
If anyone knows the identity of these suspects, then please contact the Evesham Police Department at 856-983-1116, the Confidential Tip Line at 856-983-4699 or email at email@example.com. Anonymous tips can also be texted to 847411

If you don't already know, Flappy Bird is the hot new mobile game right now. The premise is simple: navigate the bird through the gaps between the green pipes. Tapping the screen gives a slight upward impulse to the bird. Stop tapping and the bird plummets to the ground. Timing and reflexes are the key to Flappy Bird success.
This game is HARD. It took me at least 10 minutes before I even made it past the first pair of pipes. And it's not just me who finds the game difficult. Other folks have taken to Twitter to complain about Flappy Bird. They say the game is so difficult, that the physics must be WRONG.

The physics of Flappy Bird is so bad which is why it's so difficult to play. It's not intuitive like most game mechanics. #sodumb—
Victor (@veeedoh) January 29, 2014
So, is the physics unrealistic in Flappy Bird?
Sounds like a job for Logger Pro video analysis! I used my phone to take a video of Flappy Bird on my iPad. To keep the phone steady, I placed it on top of a ring stand with the iPad underneath.
(I've uploaded several of the videos here if you'd like to use them yourself or with students: Flappy Bird Videos.)
Then I imported the videos into Logger Pro and did a typical video analysis by tracking Flappy's vertical position in the video. Sure enough, the upside-down parabolic curves indicate Flappy is undergoing downward acceleration.
But do the numerical values represent normal Earth-like gravity or insanely hard Jupiter gravity? In order to do this, we need to (1) set a scale in the video so that Logger Pro knows how big each pixel is in real life and (2) determine the slope of Flappy's velocity-time graph while in free fall, which is equal to the gravitational acceleration.
The only thing we could realistically assume is the size of Flappy Bird. If we assume he's as long as a robin (24 cm), then the slope of the velocity-time graph is 9.75 m/s/s, which is really close to Earth's gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s. Flappy Bird is REAL LIFE.
So then why is everyone complaining that the game is unrealistic when, in fact, it is very realistic? I blame Angry Birds and lots of other video games. Repeating the same video analysis on Angry Birds and assuming the red bird is the size of a robin (24 cm), we get a gravitational acceleration of 2.5 m/s/s, which only 25% of Earth's gravitational pull.
In order to make Angry Birds more fun to play, the programmers had to make the physics less realistic. People have gotten used to it, and when a game like Flappy Bird comes along with realistic physics, people exclaim that it must be wrong. As one of my students notes:
@fnoschese looks like those sorry folks need themselves some logger pro—
Sam Wolfson (@sam_wolfson) January 30, 2014
UPDATE 31 Jan 2014:
Inspired by a tweet from John Burk,
@fnoschese you know what would make an awesome demo, dropping a ball and watching it fall with same accel as flappy bird. +—
John Burk (@occam98) January 31, 2014
we made a video showing Flappy Bird falling at the same rate as a basketball:
Here's what I did: We determined from the analysis above that Flappy Bird is about 24 cm across. Conveniently, basketballs are also about 24 cm across. So I had my physics teacher colleague Dan Longhurst drop a basketball so I could video it with my iPad. Dan just needed to be the right distance away from the camera so that the size of the basketball on the iPad screen was the same size as Flappy Bird on the screen (1.5 cm). Next, I played the basketball drop video and Flappy Bird on side-by-side iPads and recorded that with my phone's camera. Once I got the timing right, I uploaded the video to YouTube, trimmed it, made a slow motion version in YouTube editor, then stitched the real-time and slow motion videos together to create the final video you see above.
UPDATE 1 Feb 2014: While the gravitational acceleration in Flappy Bird is realistic, the impulse provided by the taps are NOT realistic. Here's a velocity-time graph showing many taps. When a tap happens, the velocity graph rises upward:
As you can see, no matter what the pre-tap velocity (the velocity right before the graph rises up), the post-tap velocity is always the same (a bit more than 2 m/s on this scale). This means that the impulses are not constant. In real life, the taps should produce equal impulses, which means that we would see that the differences between pre- and post-tap velocities are constant.
TL;DR: Is the physics in Flappy Bird realistic? Yes AND no.
YES: The gravitational pull is constant, producing a constant downward acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s (if we scale the bird to the size of a robin).
NO: The impulse provided by each tap is variable in order to produce the same post-tap velocity. In real life, the impulse from each tap would be constant and produce the same change in velocity.
UPDATE 1 Feb 2014 (2): Fellow physics teacher Jared Keester did his own independent analysis and shares his findings in this video:

Hello folks
I'm new here and looking for a tractor to cut/mow our 3.5 acres of grass
I have found a nice looking 1970 cub 154 lowboy near me but it has some blowby at the oil dipstick.
The other tractor that I've found rather locally is a 1948 Cub
Does anybody have any recommendations of what one should purchase for my first tractor purchase?
Thanks in advance for your assistance and recommendations
Looking forward to seeing all the folks and equipment 'round

Wouldn't it be nice, a game tied 3-3 in the eighth inning, to have a relief pitcher who's perfectly capable of throwing 100 miles an hour and going three or four innings in a pinch?
That's what Ron Washington has in Alexi Ogando, who started 29 games for the Rangers this season but has now become the Ranger's not-at-all-secret weapon out of the bullpen.
With the Rangers tying Game 2 in the bottom of the seventh on Nelson Cruz's laser beam off the left-field fair pole, suddenly Texas seemed to have the big advantage because of Ogando's ability to throw multiple innings. Where the Rangers have Neftali Feliz, the Tigers have Jose Valverde. Where the Rangers have Mike Adams, the Tigers have Joaquin Benoit. But where the Rangers have Alexi Ogando, the Tigers have ... Brad Penny?
There's just no comparison, as Ogando pitched brilliantly as a reliever in 2010 and effectively as a starter through most of 2011.
It's still tied heading into the bottom of the eighth, but the Rangers now have an advantage in both arms and ups.

We enjoy the community and lifestyle of condo living. The condos are built so that we plan to live here for many years but know the apartment building is an option when that time comes."
My mother was cared for much more than in home care. Owners kept me aprised of everything, no matter how small. I could not have cared for her the way they did. Anticipated things before it became a problem."
I do not recommend them. They are deceitful, the practice is bad and the security is not good. They are there only to suck money off senior citizens and have no value for life. I will be moving my mother out from there."
It was a very positive and great experience. They made me feel so welcomed from the doorman to the receptionist to the us as we walked in the hallways. "
To date I am the process of speaking with multiple attorneys about the following issues. The discrimination that took place while my mother was there, the lack of care leading to her ailing health which now we must see specialist for. Then, after the strong request to the should be, administrator J. act unstable, texting my husband even more, asking him why do you not get my boyfriend a job on the r.r. he is leaving me because he cannot find work!!!! With no reply from my husband, the removal of my mother, the reprimand for giving my mother CANDY, shortly after I suppose we were scolded. The first bill came in at around $11,000. The second adjusted to $10,870. and the latest, just over $9000.00. These are the amounts that would be paid by the VETERANS, the money, Ms.
I RARELY offer up personal info within these, but my heart says, on this....for some reason...Therefore, I do not walk as the mind saith, rather as the heart so leads~As we have moved to Northern Ohio, we are BLESSED. In the midst of this insanity with the world, coming at us, we are BLESSED. Even so right now, I am but weeks away, from possibly surgery, BUT, I am BLESSED, the pain will be FINALLY gone! Our grandson is only 3 1/2 weeks old, he is not gaining weight, BUT HE IS BLESSED, for GOD called him KAMDEN, and breathed breath into his very little lungs, and the Angels, tapped their wings, and his heart began to beat. For the moment, the enemy, says....no he isn't going to gain weight, BUT GOD said, YES, oh but YES he IS! In fact....he may be a little butterball....
SO be it the situation with "
They take care of all my needs. I've been here for 2 years. Once I'm in my room I take care of myself. I don't have a problem with the billing. I expect to stay here forever."

Training is great.
But if it doesn't ultimately produce results for the
customer, it isn't so great.
"[World Class Manufacturing] is not a 'flavor of the month.' It's
the only way we do business."
Chrysler Group Senior Vice President of Manufacturing and WCM Scott
Garberding spoke those words during our official dedication of the
World Class Manufacturing Academy Tuesday.
And, if you haven't noticed, Chrysler's business has
been picking up the past year, with WCM playing an important role
in that pick up. It's a role that impacts customers and
employees alike.
For customers, WCM and the company's renewed commitment to quality
has been proven through the various quality
awards for our 2011 and 2012 models.
For employees, VP of the UAW-Chrysler Department General Holiefield
said WCM is vital to job security, as well as having other
WCM, Holiefield said Tuesday, "broadens the thinking and ability"
of employees. He added that the goal of WCM is to "transform our
members, Chrysler's employees, into the best quality manufacturing
employees that the dollar can buy.
"We recognize that we cannot negotiate job security. They're going
to have to earn it and, one way they're going to have to earn it is
through WCM."
Since the WCM Academy started late last year in a pilot phase, more
than 320 students have attended more than 30 sessions. Each session
is 2-3 days long, with an additional session at each employees'
home plant for follow up. The WCMA staff consists of four
full-time, WCM-certified instructors plus 12 other associate
trainers who have specialties in the various WCM areas and are
called in as needed to teach.
Every WCM Academy instructor and trainer previously worked in
Chrysler manufacturing operations. In addition to the WCM Academy
staff, the curriculum also has roots in practical Chrysler
manufacturing. It was created internally with input from our plant
personnel to address company-specific needs and processes.
About 1,200 plant managers, team leaders and other plant employees
will go through the WCMA every year. The 25,000-sq.-ft WCMA is
housed within the UAW-Chrysler Technology Training Center, Warren,

This card has gotten a lot of flack from fans for various reasons. There are only 5 fighters that have previously fought in the UFC before leading the casual fan to struggle to find a reason to care. Then the UFC decides to implement the Fight Pass meaning that the card won't be shown on either Fox Sports channels and a few of the fans that still cared got their panties in a twist upon hearing that they would have to pay to watch the event. The UFC somewhat redeemed themselves by offering a two month free trial of the UFC Fight Pass meaning those that still care will be able to view it for free.
While it is damn near impossible to get the casual fan interested in this card it should draw a lot of interest from hardcore fans as there are some top fighters making their UFC debuts and opportunities for (mostly) young unknowns to prove they belong in the worlds top MMA organization. Tarec Saffiedine was the last Strikeforce welterweight champion and finally gets to show what he can do in the Octagon and a former Pride mainstay in Tatsuya Kawajiri makes a very long awaited debut. With as many unknowns as there are on the card it should bring a level of excitement as this is a sport where the unexpected is often expected. And tell me you aren't at all curious about a featherweight that stands at 6'4. I know I sure as hell am.
I know that this is not the most comprehensive preview... but you try and find footage on some of these fighters! This was hard as hell! I genuinely did the best I could and tried to only include what would really be needed to know about these fights... kind of like the title of the article indicates. Enjoy!
Tarec Saffiedine (14-3) vs. Hyun Gyu Lim (12-3-1), Welterweight
Saffiedine seems to be the thinking mans fighter. He doesn't have any overwhelming physical qualities that would put him in many top 10 rankings... yet he seems to float around most of them. He isn't a very powerful striker, his submission victories have disappeared since stepping out of the regional circuit, and he isn't a renowned wrestler. But he finds a weakness in his opponents game plan and exposes it, making sure he has the cardio to go the distance as well. His performance against Nate Marquardt is a perfect example as he leg kicked Marquardt until his legs were all shades of color due to Marquardt not checking them until it was to late and Marquardt's movement was limited for the rest of the match. So the question is what does he plan to do with Lim? Lim is a HUGE welterweight with a lot of power. He throws hooks from both hands with bad intentions and devastating knees. He doesn't take a very measured approach though and leaves himself open to a lot of strikes. I wouldn't be surprised to see this match seem similar to Saffiedine's match with Marquardt: Saffiedine keeps his distance moving in and out with strikes, particularly attacking the legs with kicks and allow Lim to tire out and force him to go into deep waters and fight the full 25 minutes. Lim has only gone 15 minutes once let alone 25. I'm sure that Saffiedine is aware of this seeing as how he manages to fight a smarter fight than his opponent every time. Lim is more talented physically and it is a real possibility that he can catch Saffiedine with a hook or knee, but I wouldn't count on it. Saffiedine is too savvy for that. Saffiedine by Decision
Tatsuya Kawajiri (32-7-2) vs. Sean Soriano (8-0), Featherweight
It is a long awaited debut for Kawajiri who was one of the top names at lightweight for years before dropping down to featherweight a few years ago. Kawajiri was strong at lightweight and is an absolute beast at featherweight, where there are few if any stronger than him at that class with his compact frame. Soriano on the other hand is somewhat lanky and uses that reach effectively in his striking which is very crisp and precise and uses a variety of punches, kicks, knees, and elbows. I haven't seen a lot of Soriano off of his back though... and that is what is key here as Kawajiri's bread and butter is to get the fight on the ground and wear his opponent out from top position. They don't call him the "Crusher" for no reason as he is very heavy once he gets the position to wear out his opponent and rains down shots. If your grappling defense has holes he will work his way to transition into a more favorable position with ease. From his back he is active in looking for submission attempts to improve his position and get the sweep. Soriano for his part is active from the top with GNP and looking for submissions, but the bottom line in this match is that he has never seen an animal like Kawajiri. Kawajiri has faced the likes of Gilbert Melendez (x2), Joachim Hansen (x2), Takanori Gomi, Josh Thomson, Eddie Alvarez, and Shinya Aoki. Soriano's best opponent seems to be... Elvin Brito. I like Soriano's poise, but I can't see how he is ready for this. He'll learn a lot from this experience, but he'll come up well short of victory. Kawajiri by TKO 1st Round
Kiichi Kunimoto (15-5-2, 1 NC) vs. Luiz Dutra Jr. (11-2-1), Welterweight
For someone with over 20 fights on their resume, Kunimoto is exceedingly hard to find footage of. The fact that he is on the main card makes it even more surprising. The only footage that I was able to see was 6 years ago and he was quickly choked out... I doubt the UFC signed him based on that performance so I'm inclined to believe that he has improved significantly since then. More than half of his wins have come by submission indicating he has a fair grappling game. I've been able to find photos as well and he seems to be somewhat small for welterweight. Dutra on the other hand is fairly stocky at welterweight. He likes to wing haymakers that have some power behind them, but shows a stiff jab as well. He displayed a variety of submission attempts in the fights I saw of him and he is very intense as well. And one more thing of note... both of Dutra's loses were via injury. Dutra has some wins over former UFC fighters whereas Kunimoto has a lot of cans on his resume. I know that the flight will be tough for Dutra to combat... but I like his intensity. I feel like he'll want to make the most of this opportunity more than Kunimoto who has been content to beat nobodies in a smaller promotion. Dutra by Decision
Kyung Ho Kang (11-7, 1 NC) vs. Shunichi Shimizu (28-8-10), Bantamweight
Kang exhibits a style similar to that of fellow Korean Dong Hyun Kim: get your opponent down and ground them out. At least that has been his game plan thus far in the UFC which has been contradictory to his performances before hand... with regards to the GNP part of it. He owns 8 submission wins within his 11 victories but has yet to make a serious attempt in the UFC. If we don't see them from him, Shimizu will more than make up for it as he has a great love for the submission himself. He uses submission attempts defensively at times to gain a more favorable position in order to string another one together and is excellent at transitions. But he is extremely tentative striking whereas Kang, though not exactly aggressive on the feet, shows a more willing and capable trigger. If Shimizu wins it will be by submission. Kang owns a considerable size and strength advantage and I would expect him to utilize it to pick up a victory and push Shimizu to the flyweight division where he will be a better fit. Kang by TKO 2nd Round
Max Holloway (7-3) vs. Will Chope (19-5), Featherweight
Holloway is tall for a featherweight at 5'11... but Chope makes him look short by comparison at 6'4. And no, he is not completely drawn out, he does have some muscle on his lanky frame... not a whole lot but it is there. Chope is also a solid submission grappler with 12 submission W's (8 by RNC), but hasn't learned to fully utilize his reach to his advantage in the striking game. With his all-around game, expect Holloway to try and keep the fight standing and use his technical boxing and kicks to try and pick Chope apart. Holloway may not land a great percentage of strikes, but he throws a lot and thus lands a lot. Chope's kicks have a lot of potential in them, but he hasn't learned to effectively land them yet. Unless he can do that I doubt he pulls this one out. Holloway has good submission defense and Chope's GNP is fairly weak. Throw in Chope getting Octagon jitters (as opposed to Holloway's previous experience) for his debut and it leads to... Holloway by Decision
Katsunori Kikuno (21-5-2) vs. Quinn Mulhern (18-3), Lightweight
Kikuno has been a mainstay in Japan for 8 years and is finally making the move to the UFC. He can be awkward for MMA fans who don't watch the Japanese promotions as he employs a very stiff karate style. If you are thinking of Lyoto Machida, remember that I said stiff whereas Machida is fluid and difficult to catch and Kikuno shows little elusiveness. His style has been effective nonetheless as he has good power and excellent body kicks. Mulhern was a lanky welterweight (he's 6'3) and will be a twig at lightweight. His strength deficiency won't be as noticeable at this weight, but I actually expect Kikuno to have more power as I'm sure Mulhern will have to give up some muscle mass to make the drop. The ground is Mulhern's world anyway and he is very slick at subs but doesn't have much of a wrestling base. Kikuno can be taken down but I don't think that Mulhern will (can?) employ the aggressive style that Kikuno struggles with. I question how well Mulhern will handle both the cut and the flight to Singapore. As a result, Kikuno will stalk Mulhern and attack the body (at 6'3, Mulhern will be hard to miss) and break him down. Kikuno TKO 3rd Round
Royston Wee (2-0) vs. Dave Galera (5-0), Bantamweight
Wee's claim to fame is that he is the first fighter from Singapore to compete in the UFC. Lets be honest... that is the only reason that he is on the roster with this card being held in Singapore. There is very little footage of him and from what is available he seems to be a capable grappler, but it isn't like he has faced a high level opponent yet as both opponents have a combined 3 fights and zero wins. Galera doesn't have a lot more experience but at least he has faced someone with a win on their resume. He's known as the "Scarecrow" for good reason as he stands at 5'11... almost freakishly tall at bantamweight. He is incredibly active off of his back and capable of submitting from the guard. His standup is shaky but has sound GNP. Considering few have any clue about Wee's standup it is difficult to predict anything about how that will go. But neither have ever gone the distance and with Galera actually having faced some adversity in the ring I gotta believe that he'll stand stronger in the bright UFC lights and gain a submission. Galera by Submission 1st Round
Mairbek Taisumov (20-4) vs. Tae Hyun Bang (16-7), Lightweight
Taisumov has been on most prospect watch lists for a while at this point and is finally getting his chance in the UFC. At 25, he has plenty of time to blossom and it feels like the UFC is setting him up for a successful debut as Bang has had one match in 3 years and doesn't seem like actual UFC material in the eyes of many. The main thing that Bang has going for him is KO power and a solid chin but he seems way too tentative to be able to find a opening to put out Taisumov. Taisumov applies methodical pressure on his opponents at all times whether he is attacking with punches, kicks, elbows or GNP on the ground. Don't be surprised to see Taisumov go for a submission either as nearly have of his victories have come that way. Bang is tough though so I expect Taisumov to give him a beating for the full 15 minutes. Taisumov by Decision
Dustin Kimura (10-1) vs. Jon Delos Reyes (7-2), Bantamweight
It is difficult to find out a lot about Delos Reyes as there is limited footage on him. But based on what I was able to find he is a very aggressive fighter that doesn't utilize a lot of solid technique. He isn't without potential, but unless he reigns in his wildness that he could get away with on the smaller shows he won't last long in the UFC. What is even worse for him is that Kimura is fairly patient when it comes to waiting for an opportunity. Kimura is a powerful counter puncher and very aggressive from the guard looking for submissions. Throw in the fact that Kimura can take a shot that means Reyes will have a hard time putting him away before getting caught himself. Whether it is a counter punch or submission is the question. I'll play the odds and say submission. Kimura by Submission 2nd Round
Russell Doane (12-3) vs. Leandro Issa (11-3), Bantamweight
Doane hits like a Mack truck. And as quick as his hands are he'll likely end up hitting Issa more likely than not. Doane has some very powerful takedowns as he largely uses brute strength to get his opponent down but he isn't likely to do so here as Issa's world is on the ground. Both are solid in their transitions and scrambles, but Issa will catch Doane in a submission if Doane isn't careful as Issa is a world class submission artist. So what this boils down to is Doane will want to keep it standing and Issa will want it on the ground. So the factors we need to look at are Doane's takedown defense (adequate) and Issa's takedowns (quite porous). If the fight does go to the ground Doane will try to get back up as quick as possible as he'll know what is coming. About the only thing Issa has to offer standing are awkward looking leg kicks which are effective but won't have anyone confusing him with Edson Barboza or Jose Aldo. So expect Doane to catch him as he won't have to worry about Issa's fists. Doane by KO 1st Round
Comments are always welcome. And I realize that due to the high level of relatively unknown fighters that some mistakes could have been made in my analysis. Let me know if you are aware of any.

The THFC anti-hoof movement
For far too long now the Spurs management team have sat back and watched as the Tottanham Hotspur goal keeper Paul Robinson constantly hoofs the ball up the pitch. This is done week in and week out despite the fact that all it seems to do is give the ball back to the opposition. The supporters of this great club would rather we tried to keep the ball and pass it about \'the Tottenham\' way! PLEASE STOP THE HOOFING!
Paul \"life long Spurs fan\" is the Sponsor

Pilots from all over the country are flying in for the 42nd Annual Stearman Fly-In.
More than 30 planes arrived Tuesday and organizers expect nearly 100 to land by the end of the week.
The Stearman planes are more than 80 years old and were used by military and navy pilots during World War II for training.
A National Stearman Fly-In Board of Director Member said the week-long event is an opportunity to see history as it was.
"These airplanes represent the best kind of museum, because an airplane is meant to fly not sit on a concrete floor somewhere and gather dust," said Robert Harrison.
Retired American astronaut and Stearman pilot Marsha Ivins is scheduled to speak on Friday.
On Saturday families are invited out to the

Below are the plans for the new library parking lot, located adjacent to the library on the site of what is currently a private home. Click each photo for a larger view.
Early in 1969 a group of dedicated citizens, soon to become the Friends-of-the-Library, surveyed the community and found a strong desire for its citizens to have their own library. The first Library Board was soon formed, with Dr. Leonard Robinson as its chairman; the other members being Dr. Joe Volker, Jack Echols, Buell Warren, and Sara Wuska. In April of 1969 the Library opened on the site of the Vestavia Hills Civic Center, with slightly more than 7,000 books.
With the continuing support of the Mayor and City Council, much growth has taken place since that time. In 1995 the Library moved to 1112 Montgomery Highway. This location housed over 100,000 items, including books, books on cassette and CD, music CDs, videos and DVDs, and over 150 magazines and newspapers. In 2002, the Vestavia Hills Mayor and City Council developed a long range strategic plan in advance of our community's projected population growth which included a bold $4 million challenge grant to match private gifts dollar-for-dollar for the building of a new library.
A cabinet of advisors and investors comprised of dedicated corporate citizens, volunteers, and the library's family of boards worked diligently to see the vision to fruition. Those organizations included the Library Board of Trustees, the Library Foundation, Friends of the Library, PALS (People Affecting Library Success) and ROCK (Reading Opportunities Challenging Kids, now disbanded).
The new 35,000 square foot library is located on nine wooded, rolling acres of the Wald Estate, at the intersection of Round Hill Road and Highway 31. This beautiful setting runs adjacent to the Boulder Creek Nature Trail and affords unique outdoor learning experiences for visitors of all ages. Our Library in the Forest is the state's first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified facility.
In the years to come, visitors to Vestavia Hills will encounter patrons, young and old alike, walking along a forest trail beside an attractive building which blends into the surrounding natural environment. Inside, they will see young entrepreneurs sitting at computer banks planning new businesses; children in a Treehouse Reading Room listening to a master storyteller. Visitors will sense that what they are seeing is not an impressive structure alone, but tangible evidence of the vision, faith, and high aspiration of an entire city.
*The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System® is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings.
Adopted and Approved by the Board of Trustees, August 2006
It is the mission of The Vestavia Hills Public Library to be a leader in the community's cultural, intellectual, economic, and environmental stewardship by offering access for all ages to a diverse and relevant collection of materials, provided in an environmentally and architecturally sensitive "green" space. The Library will achieve its mission by being both a provider and a partner in the Vestavia Hills Community:

text: The Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop wiki last edited by Deathawk on 02/10/14 12:46AM View full history DescriptionDead Rising: Chop Till You Drop is a Wii remake of the original Xbox 360 game. Capcom decided to port the game due to the critical success of Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition. Players take control of Frank West, a journalist who was dropped off at the Willamette Mall in Colorado to try and uncover the mystery behind a zombie outbreak. Frank can use almost anything in the environment to defend himself; such as chainsaws, lawn mowers, katanas, guitars, teddy bears and water guns. Largely the game is built off of the Wii Edition of Resident Evil 4. Most of the guns as well as the perspective and control style are borrowed. The game also features a new weapon upgrade system, also largely consisting of the same exact weapons from Resident Evil 4. Cletus now serves as the trader, allowing the player to buy and sell weapons and ammunition.Differences in the Wii VersionThe Wii version is mostly a direct port but there are some significant differences:Graphics and PerspectiveSince the Wii can not support the level of graphics and the number of zombies on screen of the Xbox 360 version, Capcom scaled back the number of zombies that could attack at once, but stated a hope to fit up to a hundred zombies on screen at once. The gameplay perspective has also shifted and enters an over-the-shoulder viewpoint similar to Resident Evil 4 when brandishing and using weapons.Story StructureThe story of Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop is structured in a much different fashion from its original form. Instead of Otis contacting Frank and interrupting gameplay via the transceiver, the game takes on a more traditional approach. Otis presents the player with a few sub-missions, and once those are completed, the main story progresses, and a new series of missions are offered. The story is also no longer kept on a timer and will only progress as missions are completed, and Overtime Mode is now a part of the main story.ControlsFirearms controls function in a similar manner to Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition. The player can also ward off zombies with a shake of the Wii Remote. The Wii Remote can also be shook to swing melee weapons for more power than the standard button-press attack, but these attacks are slower and leave Frank vulnerable.Other ChangesThe photography element present in the original Dead Rising is absent, though Frank still carries his camera with him.Chop Til' You Drop features multiple save slots for the player to use, rather than the single save slot in the Xbox 360 version.The game features an adjustable difficulty setting.After the story is completed, the player can unlock some zombie-themed mini games.Bonus CharactersRad Spencer, the lead character of Bionic Commando, is available in the game as an unlockable character skin for Frank.

Just three games into the season, the Penn women's basketball team has been dealt a significant blow. The team announced Friday that starting point guard Meghan McCullough has torn her ACL and is out for rest of the season. The injury came during the team's most recent game on November 18 at Army.
This comes just a few weeks after Jackie Kates decided not to return to the team for her sophomore season. The injury to McCullough further depletes the Quakes' depth at guard while leaving the team without a true point guard.
Through the first three games of the season, McCullough led the team with 3.3 assists per game. She finishes the year with 3.3 points per contest while also averaging 2.7 rebounds per game.
Where the team will proceed from here is uncertain. The Quakers remains winless early in the season and now have a large hole to fill in their back court.

RALEIGH — It was a game the Carolina Hurricanes should have won.
But the visiting Washington Capitals were just more effective on the score sheet over the last 50 minutes.
Mike Ribiero followed Alex Ovechkins weak attempt on a breakaway with just over two minutes remaining, giving the Capitals a 3-2 comeback win and erasing the effects of Carolinas 4-0 road romp over Washington two nights earlier.
Carolina leads the Southeast Division by three points over second-place Winnipeg, pending the results of the Jets late home game with the New York Rangers, with 22 games left in the lockout-shortened season.
We cant be happy, Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller said. We had a really well-executed first period with a lot of really good things. But we let them back in the second period we had long shifts, turnovers and stopped shooting the puck When you have a chance to bury a team you have to keep with the program.
Carolina, which had a two-game winning streak snapped, is 6-2 in its last eight games. It was the first time the Hurricanes had lost in the 12 games they had led after two periods.
Michal Neuvirth (2-4-1) had 36 saves for Washington, which leads the series 2-1-0.
Obviously the win is important, Washington coach Adam Oates said. Coming back, hanging in there, killing some penalties, a big power-play goal to tie it and you know Ovi wins it.
Hurricanes goalie Dan Ellis (4-3-0), who has been sharing duties with Justin Peters since Cam Wards knee injury five games ago, had 22 saves.
The Hurricanes struck quickly as Alexander Semin - who had played his whole NHL career with Washington before signing a free-agent contract with Carolina in the off-season - beat Neuvirth stick side from the low slot at 1:14 on Eric Staals pass from the left corner. Jiri Tlusty had the secondary helper, giving that No. 1 line 37 points in the last eight games.
We didnt get the job done, said Eric Staal, who collected his 20th assist. We had a 2-0 lead against a team thats behind us and didnt finish it off. Two bad line changes cost us two goals, and a power-play goal for them and that was it. Weve got to learn from this. Our third periods got to be a little bit better. Give them credit. They had to come out to compete and they did and we didnt.
Patrick Dwyer made it 2-0 at 8:17, redirecting the puck past Neuvirth stick side from the slot with Tim Gleason and Joe Corvo on the assists.
But Washington halved the lead on a rush at 5:56 of the second, as Joey Crabb took Aaron Volpattis pass off the left wing in the slot and slammed the puck past Ellis stick side. Karl Alzner had the second assist.
And the Capitals tied it on a power play 1:01 into the third, as Ovechkin beat Ellis stick side from the left circle with Troy Brouwer and Nicklas Backstrom on the assists.
It was the 700th NHL point for Ovechkin, who was the No. 1 pick in the draft when it was held in this building in 2004.
Ribiero got the winner at 17:44, punching the loose puck behind Ellis after Ovechkin had missed from the right doorstep. John Carlson had the second assist.
Carolina defenseman Joni Pitkanen (lower body) missed his 13th straight game while right winger Chad LaRose (concussion) missed his sixth. Right winger Kevin Westgarth was a healthy scratch.
Hurricanes forward Tuomo Ruutu has been medically cleared to play from the hip injury that has kept him out of the lineup for 26 games. He participated in the clubs morning skate on Thursday, but is not yet activated.
Carolina visits Tampa Bay on Saturday night and the Rangers on Monday before returning home Tuesday against Florida to open a three-game homestand.

|How does the sky stitch together?
Posted: Jul 26, 2012Total Posts: 1
Hey guys
1: how does the sky get stitched?
2: I've heard of some people's shoots taking hours, sometime 8-12 hours for a single image. How does the change in sun direction/quality/strength not affect the final image and the final stitch?
thanks so much for your help

To address your questions:
1) The GigaPan Stitch software doesn't need control points to deal with the sky – this is one of the advantages of shooting with a GigaPan in a regular grid. There are other situations it doesn't handle quite as well as other stitching programs, but for the most part they can be cleaned up in Photoshop (or similar) without too much pain when they occur.
2) The Epic100 shoots about 17 frames/minute at its default setting, which means I can shoot a 1000 input image GigaPan in about an hour. Unless you're shooting at sunrise/sunset or in changing weather or you're trying for a ginormous shot, the time to capture is not usually a big issue. I'm pretty sure all of the GigaPan units allow you to adjust the time between images in the setup stage, so if conditions require it you can adjust accordingly. Stitching will take a similar amount of time to shooting, depending on the specs of your computer. Often, depending on connection speed, I find that uploading is actually the rate limiting step.
Hope that helps.

According to a Tweet from Hef himself, he and Cody reportedly met to discuss the possibility of her penning the upcoming biopic about his rise to Playboy glory. [MovieLine]
Newmarket Films has snapped up U.S. distribution rights to the Charles Darwin biopic 'Creation,' setting it for a December release.

Beyonce Knowles has been rumored for the lead, though there is no deal in place. [The Hollywood Reporter]

Kuklinski died in jail in 2006, allegedly of natural causes. [The NY Post]

Who is Robert Culp?
I am looking for information about Robert Culp (an Actor)
Aug 6, 2011
1 Answer
Robert Culp Bio
Every other person at one point or another of their lives must have dreamt of the lavish lifestyles that actors must lead. If there ever was an acting career that exemplified that particular fantasy, it was surely that of Robert Culp. Robert Martin Culp was born on the 24th of March in 1930 in Oakland, California. He attended Berkeley High school where he accomplished much in the athletics department. Robert Culp had demonstrated substantial talent in the sport of pole vaulting and was awarded second at the 1947 CIF California State Meet.
After graduating from high school, Robert had the opportunity to attend numerous universities. He attended College of the Pacific, Washington University of St Louis, San Francisco State College and University Washington School of Drama. Yet after all this time seeking his university education, he did not receive a university degree. For the following years, he did some small time theatre in San Francisco. He then moved to Seattle and finally to New York in 1951.
Robert Culp career and movies
His acting career took a leap to great heights when he was awarded the role of Hoby Gilman, a Texas ranger in the wildly popular television series Track Down. From 1957 to 1969, the southern television series was very popular with its audience until it came to an end. Robert Culp, however, was far from being unemployed. In 1962, he signed a contract with another southern television series, Rifles. In 1962, he also entered the platform offered by Disney Studios when he accepted a role in the family series, Sammy the Way Out Seal. There he played the role of the helpless father of Bill Mumy and Michael McGreevy, whose purpose was to keep his sons' pets from causing chaos and mayhem in their sub urban neighborhood. It was during this time that he became interested in entering the film industry. Given the diversity of the characters that he was used to playing, one could say that he was well ready to hit the big screen. Even so, despite some attempts he was not able to be much of a success at that point in his career.
Ignoring the setback, his career on television reached new heights with the 1965 hit TV series, I spy. There, this 6'2" actor through the role of Kelly Robinson, a spy leading a double life, became probably one of the most popular television icons of that period. After the series came to an end, Culp stared as Bob in the movie, Bob and Carol and Ted Alice. Although, this movie received four Academy Award nominations, it could not be described as a huge success for him. However, it did enable him to pave way for Hannie Caulder in 1971. Later on he also teamed up with his former co star Bill Cosby in the 1972 comedy Hickey and Biggs.
Robert Culp personal life
He also had a very full married life as he was married five times! His spouses are Elayne Caroll, Nancy Asch, Francis Nuyen, Sheila Sullivan and Candace Faulkner. He is also the father of Joseph, Joshua, Jason and Rachel Culp. Nancy Asch was the mother of four of his children while Samantha Culp became his step daughter when he married Candace Faulkner.
Robert Culp death
It was clear that this was a man who had enjoyed life to the fullest; taking advantage of every pleasure that life had to offer. Considering the fact that he liked to play almost all kinds of roles also goes to show how much he liked to innovate his profession. He died on the 24th of March 2010 of a heart attack in LA. Even so people remember the sparkle in his eyes and the smile on his face.

"It is a horrible disease," said Kirby Cunningham, director of CAREgiver experience at Home Instead Senior Care. "By age 85, there's a nearly 50 percent chance of Alzheimer's or some kind of dementia. We want to learn how to prevent that."
That's why Home Instead and its caregivers are hosting an Alzheimer's Blowout this Saturday. They've designed a fun family-friendly event from noon to 5 p.m. in the parking lot of Madison Park Church of God Scatterfield Site, 2604 N. Scatterfield Road. The carnival will include a bounce house, face painting, games and prizes that spell fun for kids. Food will also be available including the temptation of a bake sale.
Funds raised through the event will go to the Alzheimer's Association. Information about Alzheimer's disease will also be available on-site.
"This is World Alzheimer's Month and we're trying to make it count," said Joe Wrin, founder of Home Instead Senior Care. "We have no cure in sight ... We're still in outer space with this."
Home Instead is a non-medical home health care company, with plenty of experience caring for Alzheimer's patients. Their CARE program (an acronym for Changing Aging through Research and Education) incorporates training for caregivers that helps patients remain in their homes longer and live independently in a safe way.
Caregivers are trained to speak in a way that allows patients to feel more in control. They learn a variety of techniques to manage behaviors, and to stimulate memory usage.
"The more you use your brain, the longer it will stay active and well," said Cunningham.
Home Instead is also offering a free Alzheimer's CARE training workshop on Tuesday, Sept. 17, also at Madison Park's Scatterfield Site, with two sessions available. The first session runs from 9 a.m. to noon, and the second session from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. One need attend only a single session.
The workshop details the CARE program developed by Home Instead. It "incorporates an innovative, hands-on approach to help families deal with the difficult behavioral changes that often are associated with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias." Caregivers will learn how to manage behaviors, encourage engagement and care for themselves while caring for their loved one. It's also an opportunity to get to know others caring for a loved one with dementia. Call 643-5200 to reserve a spot.
"We're trying to educate families," said Wrin. He came into the field after personal family experience, founding Anderson's Home Instead seven years ago. Now, there are 105 caregivers in the field locally, and six on staff, with a focus on compassionate caregiving.
On Oct. 5, Shadyside Park in Anderson is the place to be for the Walk to End Alzheimer's. Registration starts at 9 a.m. An opening ceremony takes place at 10 a.m., and the walk commences at 10:30 a.m. Funds raised will support the work of the Alzheimer's Association.
