« One Last Painting Today!
Up for Auction...or Channeling My Inner Hopper »
on 4/8/2009 8:15:38 PM
1 Comment
I worked on this all day...and the whole time I thought it was accurate (in terms of vertical and horizontal elements)..whew...really need to photograph a painting to see the errors...this is a drunk's view of the abandoned theatre in the Dalles. Well, over the weekend I will make corrections. Not too hard...just adjust light pole, and the ticket box....
Wondering if this is Hopper or William Wray...or Janice Druian???? NOTE: I DID GO BACK IN AND MAKE SOME CORRECTIONS...SO THIS PAINTING IS THE FINAL VERSION. I decided not to attempt the accuracy of New Realism...that is not me...this is my impression of the Granada.

Hi Janice,
So, I decided to write you and mess with your selfcritique a little bit :) I like this painting, and especially the way that light pole gently wraps around the ticket box. I think it holds the compostion together really well. We talked about this at our life drawing group last night---is it more important to get the proportions, measurements, etc exactly right, or to compose the figure on the page in a beautiful way? We are a very mixed group, and had a great discussion, but sorry :) did not arrive at a definite answer to the question!
Later, Cooper

For teachers in McDowell County, finding affordable housing just got a little easier.
On Dec. 17, The Reconnecting McDowell board of directors approved plans to purchase property in downtown Welch to begin building affordable housing for teachers and other professionals.
Presenting the board with a few options for a Teacher Village in downtown Welch was Community Housing Partners, the architecture firm that is designing the housing. The board chose a purchase option on the property of the Best Furniture and Katzen buildings. In the next several weeks, it will be decided whether to renovate the existing buildings or start from scratch with a new building.
Approximately 30 apartment-style units will be included in the housing. Also included will be group areas and community amenities such as a coffee shop on street level available for the general public. According to a Reconnecting McDowell press release, the board also agreed to explore the validity of other housing options through McDowell County.
During the meeting, the treasury report was given, as well as brainstorming ways to spread the word in the community about the progress made while making the information understandable to the everyday "layman."

The last remaining memories fade away into darkness. Your mind is a mess and only a feeling of being hunted remains. You must escape. Awake... You stumble through the narrow corridors as the distant cry is heard. It is getting closer. Explore... A sound of dragging feet? Or is your mind playing tricks on you? Experience... Something emerges out of the darkness. It's approaching. Fast. Survive...
Step into Daniel's shoes as he wakes up in a desolate castle, barely remembering anything about his past. As you explore the eerie pathways, you'll take part in Daniel's most troubled memories. The horror doesn't just come from the outside, but from the inside as well. A disturbing odyssey into the dark corners of the human psyche awaits. Amnesia: The Dark Descent, a first person survival horror. A game about immersion, discovery, and living through a nightmare. An experience that will chill you to the core. By using a fully physically simulated world, cutting edge 3D graphics and a dynamic sound system, the game pulls no punches when trying to immerse you. Once the game starts, you will be in control from the beginning to the end. There are no cut-scenes or time-jumps, whatever happens will happen to you first hand. You'll be thrown headfirst into a dangerous world where danger can lurk behind every corner. Your only means of survival are hiding, running, and using your wits. Do you have what it takes to survive?

Many titles have made the claim to be horror games, but very few actually live up to the demands of the genre.
Amnesia is not one of those games.
Amnesia is a game where you truly feel vulnerable and dis-empowered - unlike games like Dead Space where you always have heavy ordnance to back you up Amnesia leaves you without so much as a Butter-knife to against the terrors in theread more dark.
And Darkness is the key concept here, which Amnesia pulls off so well. You use the darkness to hide from the monsters that patrol the labyrinthine interiors of a Gothic castle, yet prolonged exposure to the darkness also slowly drives you insane.
Yet if you dare to strike a tinder match and light your way you risk both life and sanity as a consequence, as the mutated denizens will track you down and swiftly end you in a savage flailing of claws and teeth.
Best played with the lights out and maybe an empty bowels, since you may wet yourself or worse.

Frictional Games started doing magic with horror adventure/survival horror genre even before their first actual game. Penumbra tech demo for their engine, was so fun to play, people demanded a proper full game out of it. The result was Penumbra: Overture - a game, that mixed the first person adventure genre with a horror story, added a more "realistic" approach to object manipulationread more and created such a tense atmosphere that your bottom could very well get tired of producing bricks at such constant rate.
However, Penumbra and it's sequel (with expansion) suffered at one thing, Frictional wanted to be important - storytelling. The feel of the game was too unforgiving and game had way to many ways too die, which made it a perfect "scary game", but not much of a "story-driven game".
And Amnesia was a solution. It's rarely "scary", but it's constantly tense and level design keeps you guessing what might happen next, as nothing follows the same formula for too long. There are less severe consequence for dying, but the need to play hide and seek with monsters is still balanced out well enough, for the game to keep you on your toes.
Do not expect Amnesia to be a "scary" as in "in your face" scares. It's a story-driven experience, which instead aims at being fun to experience, which uses a more "jump scare"-like tactics just to ease the tension when needed and, instead, wants you to slowly, but with constant progress, experience everything it wants you to show.

Unlike most other horror games, Amnesia knows that an endless succession of jump scares is not how you really get under someone's skin. After playing this game for a while I really had what can only be called a sense of dread - it is more of an atmosphere that makes you imagine there might be something nasty around every corner. The lack of any weapons also imposes a sense of vulnerabilityread more you don't often get in any game.
The story and puzzles are so-so, and I once or twice had glitches with the monster behavior which rather broke my immersion. For sheer atmosphere however I would certainly recommend this. Just make sure you play with the lights off - if you can handle it. (You should also check out the Penumbra series by the same devs)

Students at one Valdosta school are learning through a non-traditional instrument... iPads.
Every single student at Valdosta Early College Academy now has his own Apple tablet, as the school is taking learning to new heights.
Valdosta Early College Academy is the first school in South Georgia to give all 174 students their own iPad. These 8th graders are discussing poetry through their tablets.
"It's pretty cool because I think we're allowed to take our own learning into our own hands," said 8th grader Austin Blanton.
Donated by Valdosta State University, these iPads are now the main instrument teachers use to conduct class. And the teaching applications are endless.
"Hikodet is a very innovative app that allows students to create a presentation and they're able to present that to their classmates," said Teacher Johnnie Marshall.
14-year-old Austin Blanton recently taught his class about refraction. "It's the bending of a wave as it enters a new medium at an angle other than 90 degrees. And we got up in front of the classroom and we were allowed to like teach others about this and they took notes about it."
Through the Edmoto app teachers can assign quizzes right here in the classroom and students can get their results instantly.
Marshall says through the iPads teaching has gone to new heights. "Now we get an opportunity to think totally different, and were able to utilize different strategies while using the iPads."
Marshall says at the rate modern technology is progressing, he's glad his students are ahead of the game.
The high schoolers are even allowed to take the tablets home to work on projects and homework.

I can hardly believe that my Craftster swap is almost complete! I only have two people left to make blocks for (2 blocks each, for a total of 4 blocks to complete before I'm done).
Here are the first two. They're both for athenamat:
Now I'm just down to 2 more. With a deadline of 10/1, I think I'm in good shape! This has been such a great swap ... and when I think about how many blocks I've made in the past 2 months, I'm amazed. What great practice! I sure hope there's a Lap Quilt Swap 4 in my future ...

Rory McIlroy started Saturday's 2012 FedEx St. Jude Classic third round ahead of the field by one stroke, but he's left himself some work to do on Sunday after a rough day. He shot two-over par, falling to five-under for the tournament. He's one shot back of the three leaders, Nick O'Hearn, Davis Love III and John Merrick.
O'Hearn had a big day, shooting three-under par to move to the top of the leaderboard. Also shooting three-under on the day was big hitter Dustin Johnson, who joins McIlroy at five-under par. Robert Allenby, Kevin Kisner, Chad Campbell and Kevin Stadler are also sitting at five-under heading into the tournament's final day.
J.B. Holmes is alone at four-under, but there's a massive group of players sitting at three-under par. Expect the final day of the tournament to be tight until the very end.

The cruise was awesome. We always had things to do, lots of activities to choose from, and we were never board. My son had a blast at Camp Carnival. He's 9 years old. The water in the pools and waterworks was a little cold, but that was to be expected. The ropes course was something we wanted to try but it was closed the majority of the time b/c of high winds.
All of the crew members we encountered were extremely nice. I never had a problem with anyone having an attitude or acting like they just didn't want to help. The only person I thought had a smug attitude was someone at the Guest Services desk, but other than that, everyone was GREAT! We had James as our Cruise Director, John was out of town, and he was amazing!!! I hope we have him next time as well.
The food was pretty good. Our wait staff was Pedro, D and J and we LOVE THEM!!!! Did an awesome job!
The shows and music were outstanding! We were not ready to get off this ship when it was time. We are going back next March and cannot wait!!!!
ALL IN ALL, AMAZING VACATION!!!!!! The Magic is the BEST!

The #Texans have signed linebacker Omar Gaither and played LB Keyaron Fox on IR.— Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) August 9, 2012
Via the newest Texans beat writer, Tania Ganguli. Gaither saw action in 10 games last year for Carolina (who had a terrible defense in 2011), starting three while recording a single sack. Let's all hope he brings insider information with him to help us crush Carolina on Saturday. /snickers/ Fox needs knee surgery.
Via Rotoworld. With DE depth a concern, bringing Bulman back isn't a surprise. Stashing Roc on IR is a good front office move with the Practice Squad already full.
He didn't practice again yesterday.
Kubes isn't that sure yet. Regardless, it looks like the Texans are getting healthier. Knock on wood.
The Texans made the smart move and placed hurting DE Mario Williams (sports hernia) on injured reserve to make room for DE Jarvis Green. One more roster spot were opened as WR David Anderson and OG Mike Brisiel were also placed on IR with shoulder injuries. The Texans had signed DT DeMario Pressley earlier this week. A possible beneficiary of this? WR Dorin Dickerson, who may see snaps at receiver in place of Anderson.
With this signing, do the chances of Super Mario being shut down for the rest of 2010 seem likely?
Bulman's not going to make any Pro Bowls, but the guy is a valuable contributor in the DL rotation. He's going to be missed.
Corcoran got a good bit of UDFA love around these parts. Long shot to make the team, but this could be worth keeping an eye on.
Thanks, Anthony Hill. I now believe that Steve Slaton's struggles are the result of a heretofore undiagnosed case of swine flu. IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING, PEOPLE!

The Payment Card Industry (PCI) has released version 2.0 of the Data Security Standard (DSS), an update to its 1.2.1 version that probably would have been better labeled as a 1.3 release for its lack of any new major requirements.
Instead, PCI DSS 2.0 focuses on clarity of language for a number of key areas, including virtualization. With that, I'd like to welcome the group to 2010 and thank them for finally acknowledging the use of virtualization technologies. It's only been around for 10 years.
[ Also on InfoWorld: VMware vSphere 4.0 achieves an EAL4+ rating from Common Criteria -- the highest-level security certification. | Keep up to date on virtualization with InfoWorld's Virtualization channel. ]
It took some time, but the addition of the virtualization concept into the standard reflects the importance of this technology and its operational impact within the PCI community, but there are still related security challenges that need to be addressed. Adding virtualization into the standard is movement in the right direction, but without any real guidance on how to ensure virtualization compliance, how effective can it be? That remains to be seen.
The PCI DSS 1.2.1 specification has a requirement that only one primary function per server be implemented, which has led to confusion for those using virtual machines in their environments. It wasn't clear in looking at the 1.2 specification if it permitted two or more virtual machines to run on the same physical server (one of the main reasons behind using virtualization). The 2.0 specification at least seems to clarify that issue by allowing multiple VMs on the same physical hardware -- that is, as long as each VM is only performing one primary task.
Specifically, requirement 2.2.1 states the following:
Implement only one primary function per server to prevent functions that require different security levels from co-existing on the same server. (For example, web servers, database servers, and DNS should be implemented on separate servers.)
Note: Where virtualization technologies are in use, implement only one primary function per virtual system component.
This clarification was missing from the earlier version of the standard. Virtualization is specifically called out, so there should be no more confusion when trying to interpret the word "server." However, it does so with limitations. PCI DSS 2.0 goes into further detail with two subsections of requirement 2.2.1:

Rebecca Schleicher is thrilled to keep her cowboy boots at the front of her closet and spend time getting to know the fine folks of Oklahoma City. She most recently comes to FOX 25 from KCEN in Waco, Texas where she covered everything from wildfires to Fort Hood to corrupt politicians.
Born in Atlanta, Rebecca is a transplanted Georgia peach. And she may be hesitant to tell you but she's a proud Texas Longhorn! It is the Sooner State, after all. During school, she was an active leader in her sorority and on the football field as a cheerleader for UT. She majored in Broadcast Journalism and Government and was invited to become the youngest news contributor in Austin, reporting weekly live reports for Fox 7s morning and Good Day Austin show. Four years, seven scholarships and two degrees later she made her way up I35 to Waco for her first full-time debut as a journalist.
Her most memorable stories include longtime and exclusive coverage of serious allegations against a prominent Central Texas sheriff, reports with wrongfully convicted men about the problem with eyewitness testimony, stories about a city in danger of drying up completely and she really loves those rare, untold stories about the interesting characters who happen to live among us.
Now that Rebecca is on her second stop on I-35 she is so excited to become a part of the Thunder Nation! Please email her with any story ideas, tips or tidbits about the greater Oklahoma area: email@example.com. She's interested in just about everything, so don't hesitate to get in touch.

Augusta, GA (WJBF) -- Georgia fans in Augusta were treated to a special night in Augusta. Offensive coordinator Mike Bobo and head men's basketball coach Mark Fox were in town for the annual Bulldog Club meeting.
Bobo is excited about his unit heading into 2013. They return 10 of 11 starters including 5th year senior quarterback Aaron Murray.
As for Fox, his team will look to build off a solid finish to the season last year, but they'll have to do so without star Kentavious Caldwell-Pope who bolted for the NBA.

Deism is not a specific religion but rather a particular perspective on the nature of God. Deists believe that a creator god does exist, but that after the motions of the universe were set in place he retreated, having no further interaction with the created universe or the beings within it. As such, there are a variety of common religious beliefs that deists do not accept.
No Need for Worship:
Because the deist god is entirely removed from involvement, he has neither need nor want of worship. Indeed, deists commonly hold that God does not even care if humanity believes in him.
Rejection of Prophets:
Because God has no desire for worship or other specific behavior, there is no reason for him to speak through prophets nor send representatives of himself among humanity.
Rejection of Supernatural Events:
God, in his wisdom, created all of the desired motions of the universe during creation. There is therefore no need for him to make mid-course corrections through the granting of visions, miracles and so forth.
Methods of Understanding God:
Because God does not manifest himself directly, he can only be understood through the application of reason and through the study of the universe he created. Deists have a fairly positive view of human existence, stressing the greatness of creation and the faculties granted to humanity such as the ability to reason. As such, deists reject all forms of revealed religion. Any knowledge one has of God should come through their own understanding, experiences and reason, not the prophecies of others.
Deist Views of Organized Religions:
Because deists accept that God in uninterested in praise and that he in unapproachable via prayer, there is little organized religion surrounding deist beliefs. Deists often feel that organized religion add layers of untruth to the reality of God. Some deists, particularly historical ones, however, saw a value in organized religion for the common folk, because religion could instill positive concepts of morality and sense of community.
Origins of Deism:
Deism originated in the Ages of Reason and Enlightenment in the 17th and 18th centuries. During this time, many more people became interested in scientific explanations about the world and became more skeptical of magic and miracles.
Famous Deists:
A large number of United States Founding Fathers were deists or had strong deist leanings. Some of them identified themselves as Unitarians, a non-Trinitarian form of Christianity that emphasized rationality and skepticism. These deists include Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, James Madison and John Adams.

Brandon Jacobs and Rex Ryan exchanged words after the Giants dropped the Jets on Saturday, and they weren't happy words. Jacobs gave Ryan an earful, even threatening to punch the Jets coach in the face, though both sides went to their corners and cooler heads prevailed. At least for now.
This kind of sums up the conversation between the two. Seems nice and civil.
Jacobs told us he also said to Rex afterwards, "Shut up, Fat Boy."— Aditi Kinkhabwala (@AKinkhabwala) December 24, 2011
But Jacobs was full of fun quotes, and this was only the beginning.
Jacobs on "convo" w/ Rex: "He told me to shut the F up. I said to him, win the Super Bowl. And I told him I'd punch him in the face."— Aditi Kinkhabwala (@AKinkhabwala) December 24, 2011
Jacobs: "It was Rex who came up to me, the same way his pops went at Gilbride. And he ran afterwards."— Aditi Kinkhabwala (@AKinkhabwala) December 24, 2011
Would love to see Rex vs. Jacobs, the sequel. May the best mouth win.

|City schools OKs Vantage contract
|Wednesday, March 13, 2013 1:13 PM
The price tag for the school for students to attend Vantage varies each year with Vantage providing a per-pupil cost. The cost for the 2012-13 school year is $74,907 at $2,675.25 per student with 28 students attending.
Payments are made in February and May.
Treasurer Brad Rostorfer said approval of the contract guarantees Jefferson students positions in programs at Vantage.
"We have never had a problem getting one of our students into a program they are interested in," Rostorfer said. "The contract just shows their good faith to take our students who choose to go and we will pay for them."
The board approved the Delphos Public Library's 2013 Budget with $575,900 in appropriations. The Library Board of Trustees will approve the budget at today's meeting.
"The state government wants to drastically cut the county education service center and then funds would come out of the school district's pocket when services are used," Sukup said. "This would quickly eat up any additional funds a district would receive with Kasich's new budget."
Delphos City Schools will dismiss classes at 1:30 p.m. on March 27 for Easter break. St. John's students will also be dismissed at 1:30 p.m on March 27 but will be in the classroom on March 28 with a 1:30 p.m. dismissal.
Volunteers for the spring sports season were approved. Damon Ulm and Joel Brown will help with track and Clay Erman, Rusty Thompson, Jordan Jettinghoff, Jeff Stockwell and Todd Teman will help with baseball.
School board members made plans to help provide breakfast for high-schoolers taking the OGT math test on Tuesday. All five school board members flipped pancakes for the cause.

Frankie Knuckles
BiographyWidely recognized as the godfather of House, Frankie Knuckles migrated from New York to Chicago at the time when Disco was about to explode into the mainstream in the late '70s. Together with fellow friends and pioneers Ron Hardy and Larry Levan, Knuckles claims responsibility for creating House from a raw Disco blueprint. Smooth mixes balance out Chicago-style grooves with New York nuances, often spotlighting R&B vocals from varied superstar divas like Jamie Principle and Adeva. Still part of the dance music scene today, Knuckles' influence continues to spread among House enthusiasts throughout the world.

Are You Making the Folks Fat?
Maybe yes, Maybe no...People are fat because they eat too much and move to little!! FATNESS, Coronary Heart Disease, Type II Diabetes, Obesity, Depression, Osteoporosis and even most cancers are the biggest killers in the world today. They can be prevented, cured or handled so much better when you are not fat and when you are fit and strong!! Do you know that your personal training course has taught you the right things? Read on to find out:
Exercise and strength-training makes you feel more energetic, improves self esteem and self confidence, gives you tight, firm, strong muscles and strong bones and you always feel better after an exercise session!! If you could put all of those things in a pill or in a drug form and a Doctor asked people to invest $20-$40 a week ($3-$5 a day-less than the cost of most coffees) in this amazing product-guaranteed to work-THEY WOULD BUY IT!! But most don't exercise, they eat silly food and they are fat!!
So what went wrong? Exercise is the very best product in the world to prevent and cure fatness (and disease). It is simple and Soooo inexpensive but most folks-not even Doctors, not only don't use it, they don't want to use it!! Most people are scared of exercise and intimidated by the folks who do exercise or most who have used it and stopped do not recommend it to their friends???
And the people who do exercise, most are addicted and would never stop! They love it, they love the effects and benefits and they would never miss a work-out.
Mmmm-that may be the answer!! Yes, exercise is an addiction and like all of the other things humans get addicted to, we do not get addicted by starting with a large dose! Drug addicts start with a small amount, gamblers, shopaholics, smokers and alcoholics all become addicted with a small amount to start with. After the addiction kicks in, the amounts get larger and more and more is required to get the same feelings, without even realizing they need more. If a drug dealer gave a first-timer a large dose-it would kill them!! AH HA!! As an International Fitness Professional, "A Dealer" of exercise prescriptions, you may need a large amount to get your 'Fix' but your new person needs to get started slowly or "Shortly"!!
A 60 minute group exercise class is a HUGE fix for a new person, a 20 minute run is a massive overdose for a person who hates running and an hour or even 30 minutes of Strength training is "Forever" for a person who does not, "Use" exercise!!
If you want your clients to start and not stop, start them on a small dose than they will be able to handle!! A person asked to exercise for 20 minutes and wants to stop at 7 minutes feels like a loser and a failure!! A person asked to "Move" for 4-5 minutes (doing something they enjoy), instead of being asked to exercise, can do it!! When they do they will feel they have achieved and the greatest motivation for a person to continue their exercise program is a feeling of achievement. If they keep exercising regularly, they will get RESULTS!! And now comes the next greatest reason people continue to exercise-RESULTS!! No moving, no results!!
As an International Fitness Professional, please design programs that are short, fast and effective and ones that your client will and can stick to!! When they are addicted, they can and will come to you for more!!
How to Eat Chocolate and Lose Weight!!
YUMMY –Do you have foods or drinks you love and you think you cannot have, shouldn't have or feel guilty when you do have because you think it is a "Bad" food or because you think that food will make you fat??
What if there were no bad foods?
What if ALL foods were bad?
Without the emotional challenges that some foods give you; and being logical and with only common sense driving your thoughts about food, both of the statements above are true in terms of fat loss/ weight loss or being healthy!!
One small piece of creamy, dreamy, superb quality chocolate that melts in your mouth and you eat it for pure pleasure-WILL NOT MAKE YOU FAT!! One glass of fine wine, savoured and enjoyed for the taste, will not make you fat either!! Not one food or a collection of ALL the, so called, "bad foods" are responsible for the fat folks our western world has become!! We just eat TOOOOO much of them!! A block of chocolate everyday and you may have weight challenges, a bottle of wine everyday and your body will be struggling to lose weight!!
Vegetables, oats, tuna, lean grilled chicken breasts, almonds-all the so called "good foods", if you eat TOOOOO much of them, they will make you fat TOOOOO, regardless of how good they are for you!! And eat too much of any food and you can feel sick, bloated, "windy", stuffed or uncomfortable!!
There are no bad or good foods, just the amount you eat them in!!
If we could all just put some logic back into our eating choices…
A couple of lollies for a sweetie enjoyment, no challenge!! 2kgs of lollies and you will feel sick and struggle to burn off all the sugar calories!!broccoli is a so called "Soooper food". So try eating 2kgs of broccoli and see (and feel) what happens!! One glass of wine for pleasure –is pleasurable, 2 bottles and for most folks, you throw up, or feel like you want to and can't operate as a human being for several hours if not a whole day!! AND you will struggle to burn off calories and the food you do eat (even if it is oats, tuna and lean meat), will not get burnt up because your body is too busy burning the alcohol- your body has no storage tank for alcohol so it has to burn the alcohol and the other stuff will store!!
Stop blaming foods for being bad, stop blaming your "Genes" for making you fat-nobody sneaks into your house at night and forces food down your throat while you are sleeping!! If I am fat-I ate it!! Regardless of what I eat, if I eat too much, or too much at once, or too much for the amount I can move/ exercise/ burn off-I will be fat or find it very hard to lose weight or I will feel sick-all a challenge!!
Eat logically for pleasure and performance, move for fun and to feel fabulous, Smiles from Rowie xx

Troopers say it looks like weather may be to blame.
They say a Chevy Trailblazer slid on ice and snow, slid off the road and rolled three times.
The vehicle came to rest on its side in a field near 175th street, near the Knox county line, where the occupants were rescued from the vehicle by Abingdon Fire Rescue.
Troopers say 31-year-old Cheryl Johnson and two-year old Brandon were transported to a local hospital.
There is no word from authorities on their conditions.

The JU women's soccer team will be battle tested by the time Atlantic Sun play rolls around after enduring several tough tests on the road to start the season.
The Dolphins, who earned a share of the Atlantic Sun regular season title last season, will open their 2012 campaign on the road when they travel to Tampa to face the USF Bulls. The Dolphins then return home on Aug. 12 to host the Citadel for the first home game of the year.
JU will then embark on a grueling set of away games traveling to play FAU, FIU, and South Carolina.
"We look forward to this fall and the start of the season," said head coach Brian Copham. "We have a great group of returners coming back and are excited to add our incoming freshmen into the mix. Our schedule is setup to test us early and hopefully prepare us for the rigors of conference play."
Other highlights of the Dolphins' nonconference season include home games against Navy, Georgia Southern, and College of Charleston.
The Dolphins first A-Sun game of the year will be on the road when they travel to Highland Heights, Ky. to face A-Sun newcomers Northern Kentucky.
JU has four home conference games including finishing the regular season hosting ETSU and USC Upstate.
With the regular season finished, the Dolphins will look to the Atlantic Sun Tournament scheduled to begin Oct. 27.
All home games are scheduled to be played at the Ashley Sports Comple.

Chris Matthews: Benjamin Netanyahu Should 'Stay Out of Our Elections'
Chris Matthews doesn't just hate American conservatives.
On MSNBC's Morning Joe Wednesday, the Hardball host said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should "stay out of our elections" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
TOM BROKAW: I thought that Sunday was a missed opportunity for Governor Romney to talk in an elevated way, in a kind of global view about what's at stake here, and not give up any of his determination to be a strong Commander-in-Chief, and to raise the alarm about what's going on Iran. But to say that, "The Prime Minister of Israel is meeting at this moment with the President of the United States. There's things going on I'm not aware of. So I'm not prepared to get involved in their negotiations."
CHRIS MATTHEWS, MSNBC: Well said.
NICOLLE WALLACE, FORMER BUSH COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR: Well, I'd just say that that's probably more Romney's DNA, and to bring it back to what we were talking about before, I think Romney needs to trust his instincts.
JOE SCARBOROUGH, HOST: He needs to be himself.
WALLACE: I think that what Obama did on Sunday was very strong, and if it hadn't been, he'd be getting killed from the Right.
SCARBOROUGH: Alright, Chris Matthews, thank you so much.
MATTHEWS: Yeah, how about telling Netanyahu to stay out of our elections? That would be a [unintelligible], stay out of our elections!
You think Matthews would make such a statement on national television if Netanyahu was an outspoken supporter of President Obama?
Quite the contrary, he'd be singing Bibi's praises.
Maybe someone should tell Matthews that he just insulted the Prime Minister of America's most vital ally in the Middle East.
Or would that even matter?

So maybe Romney should have done what Obysmal did over and over and over in 2008 and talk smack about discussions and meetings and plans that he knew shit about and then after he was allowed to appear to be tough, he pretty much did exactly what Boooooooooooooosh did in many ways (GITMO, Drones, surges, wiretapping etc, etc, etc)?
Matthews almost forgot to spew the line, he ws yelling it as they were going to break.

It's only because Netanyahu doesn't slobber all over Baracka that gets Chrissy's panties in a wad.

Submitted by Galvanic on Wed, 03/07/2012 - 12:15pm.
With Thomas Friedman declaring Obama possibly the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House, why be worried about what Netanyahu might say?
In fact, the message from Netanyahu appears to be "We cannot rely on others for our security. Discussions have not halted Iran's progress toward a nuclear weapon. Sanctions have not halted Iran. We will take whateve action we need to defend ourselves against annihilation."
If Israel's self-preservation is affecting our elections, then our elections are focused on the wrong stuff, like "gender and sex" as Matthews declared today.

After three years in office obama seems to be still on the outside looking in when it comes to building a relationship with other world leaders.
Evidently the chears from the media and giving speeches before crowds is the type of psychological support obama needs.
Might explain why he never stays at the Whitehouse, he doesn't create personal one-on-one relationships so he finds it totaly isolating.

Former New York banker opens Tooting cake shop
1:50pm Saturday 16th June 2012 in News By Alexandra Rucki, Senior Reporter
A former New York banker is now banking on cup cakes after opening her own cake shop.
Nazish Omar, 43, owner of Deelicious Nazish's Kitchen, in Tooting Bec Road, opened the shop 10 days ago and sells cupcakes with an American touch.
Visitors can tuck into peanut butter, red velvet or lemon flavoured treats while enjoying a cup of coffee in relaxing surroundings.
All of the cakes are halal as Mrs Omar is Muslim herself, with eggless and gluten free cakes also on sale.
A full launch party is taking place on June 23 with free mini cakes on offer for visitors and 10 per cent of profits to St George's Hospital.
Mrs Omar said she was inspired to give money to the hospital through her former job working as a health care economist in New York.
In the past she worked for Citibank in New York, and holds degrees in management from the University of Cambridge and New York University.
But the entrepreneur said she is at her happiest when making cakes and spotted a gap in the market for a cupcake shop in Tooting.
She said: "Cake baking makes me feel peaceful, it makes me happy.
"My family owned this shop and they asked me whether I wanted to do this.
"I wasn't familiar with the area, but I found there is a lot of professionals - it is up-and-coming. Nobody had anything like this close-by, people said there was a need for this kind of place."
Mrs Omar, who is originally from Pakistan, said the cakes are influenced by her heritage as well as from the time she spent living in American and London.
She said the shop is already proving popular with locals.
Later this month she plans to start cake baking classes and has plans to publish a book of recipes.

Two men arrested for the assault of an elderly man made their first appearance before a Clayton County judge Saturday.
Police arrested two men, one who they said confessed to taking part in a violent kidnapping and robbery that landed a 69-year-old victim in the hospital earlier this week. Police still want to find their accomplices.
Police keep a constant presence along Atlanta South Parkway in College Park, where the co-owner of J & D Trucking was kidnapped.
"Everybody here was really shocked. I've worked here for 23 years and we've never seen this kind of violence," Jeff Robinson said.
News of the brutal attack spread to neighboring businesses. It happened Monday morning as the victim got out of his truck at work.
"He was approached by five black males who actually then robbed him, kidnapped him, forced him into their vehicle," Maj. Johnny Robinson said.
Police say two of the men drove him to a Chevron gas station to withdraw money.
"They discussed if they wanted to kill him or not and shortly after, let him out and began kicking and punching him," Maj. Johnny Robinson said.
Surveillance video from the store led police to the Amberwood Apartments. They arrested David Starks and Frederick Anderson.
"I'm really glad they're on the ball and rounding a few people up. I hope these guys will name names and we can get the rest of them," Jeff Robinson said.
The whole ordeal left nearby employees shaken.
"It's horrible. It could have been any one of us because we get to work at six in the morning," Lakeisha Taylor said.
Starks and Anderson are charged with kidnapping, hijacking a motor vehicle, armed robbery and aggravated assault and battery. Police said Anderson has a lengthy criminal history and a known gang affiliation. The judge denied bond for Starks and Anderson.

The Geosciences program at Denison provides a comprehensive geoscience undergraduate education through the combination of classroom, laboratory and field experiences. Our small classes promote close faculty-student cooperation and a sense of camaraderie. Students gain a strong sense of real-world geology, earth resources, and land use through frequent field trips.
Many of the Western world's most important works of literature, philosophy, music, art history, theology, psychology, chemistry, physics, engineering and medicine are written in German. Whether developing the four basic skills of aural comprehension, speaking, reading and writing, or examining culture, civilization, and literature, the study of German at Denison, within the Department of Modern Languages, provides an exercise in cultural and linguistic concepts that opens new vistas on the world.
Student Research
At Denison, research is a powerful way to learn about the world and yourself. Whether you tackle a project in astronomy or art, physics or philosophy, every student, in every discipline, has the opportunity to explore, encounter, examine, discover, demonstrate, and investigate. And it's a great way to develop skills in analysis, problem-solving and communication.
Within the Department of Classics, the major and minor in Greek focuses on the language and culture of ancient Greece from the Mycenaean world of Olympian gods, kings and heroes, through the cultural and intellectual domination of the democracy of fifth century Athens, to the Hellenistic empire and legacy of Alexander the Great. The study of Greek enables students to read the original works that have defined western literature and philosophy, from the epics of Homer to the dialogues of Plato.

You can save almost 50 percent on your mobile phone bill by going with a prepaid plan. Those prepaid phones have gotten a bad rap over the years with a lot of people considering the phones cheap, but prepaid is getting a second look in the tech world these days.Yahoo! tech writer Rick Limpert is a recent convert. He has been trying a Boost Mobile phone and as a tech writer, he needs a good smart phone."I need a phone that meets my needs and after one month this phone is," said Limpert.Looking on the Boost website, you can find that you can get a brand new iPhone 5S, but you have to buy the phone upfront for $529. However, the monthly cost for voice, texting and data is $55 and there is no contract. A co-worker who has the same phone and a two-year contract with major carrier says she'd save over $1,000 by switching to the plan."The stigma is gone. The stigma is gone and there are some great deals to be had out there," said Limpert.And these prepaid plans use the big carriers' network such as Verizon, AT&T and Sprint, which is what Boost uses."(It's the) Same network. So, you are getting the same service you would with AT&T, your Sprint or your Verizon plan," said Limpert.Here's a Windows phone from Aio Wireless. The smartphone costs $99 up front, but the service is as low as $45 a month."A lot of first time smartphone buyers are going with Aio. All of their customer service is base in Alpharetta," said Limpert.Of course, the big name in prepaid phones is the Trac phone. If you need a no frills cellphone, you won't believe how cheap this is."They start plans at $7 a month. $7 a month? And this phone cost $4.99," said Limbert.Some of the companies to look at for these prepaid phones:- Aio Wireless- AT&T GoPhone- Boost Mobile- TracFone Wireless- Straight Talk from Walmart- Virgin MobileWhat is your wireless company and does the plan work for you?

12 oz bottle purchased as a single at the Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, Va. Served chilled into a tulip glass, this pours a hazed, pale yellow banana peel body with an immense white head that I'm getting used to seeing in Saisons. Very good retention and globs of patchy lace are clinging all over the glass.
Aroma begins spicy, with coriander and white pepper. Citrusy notes of lemon and orangepeel blend well with some grassy and floral hop aromas.
Mouthfeel is light bodied with high carbonation that tingles the tongue.
Taste is dry and spicy, with lemony citrus and coriander dominating all the way through. Mild note of powdery yeast, but that's about it for the yeast character. Dry and spicy on the finish.
This is a crisp, dry, and refreshing Saison that is pleasant on the palate. Lacks the serious complexity and character of the better Belgian Saisons, but not at all bad.

12 ounce bottle, no freshness dating. Pours a honey/golden amber. Cloudy, minimal white head. Sort of prickly on the tongue. Minor lacing. Honey, pepper and yeast in the nose. Earthy, musty and hints of pepper. they obviously are trying as best as they can to hit the style, and I think its a pretty good try at an elusive flavor and yeast profile. Spicy in the finish, moderate complexity. Some sourness. Tasty, flavorfull and hearty summer quaffer.

This is from the Yards Variety case. I drank it in a goblet. "Filled on" date stamped on top of the case, but it's tricky to find. Something is inked on the bottle, but it's unreadable.
Pours a slightly hazy light orange with a 1/2 finger head of off-white foam. Head falls to islands and a ring, with minimal lacing. Carbonation looks active.
Aroma is of bitter orange and coriander, on the light side, with a very slight farmhouse character to it. Smells pleasantly citrusy, and slightly yeasty. Smells nice, if not complex.
First flavor is light Belgian farmhouse funk, followed by lightly bready pilsner malt, lemony citrus, and a gentle hop bitterness. The spices come through late, and taste of orange and coriander. This is a saison wannabe, although it's a good beer, nonetheless. Aftertaste is a light but noticeable Belgian funk.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a lively carbonation bite. Finish is short and sweet.
Like I said, this is a saison wannabe, but it is a good beer. Seems like Yards is seeking the newbie niche for saisons, but it is well made, and power to them. If you are seeking out true saisons, I would keep looking.

I liked this beer. Tried it in a beer/cheese tasting and it was paired with a brilliant cheese; Harbison from The Cellars at Jasper Hill. The combo was fantastic. Very light, hint of spice. The "expert" at the tasting said it was brewed with candied sugar. Definitely could taste that. I'm eager to have another one without the compliment of the cheese to see if it stands on its own. Could be a nice summer brew after a good winter with great darks/stouts.

Appearance is very impressive hazed orange tinted golden body with a vibrant fluffy white head poured into my Corsendonk glass leaving even lace as the head settles. Aroma is delicate with a faint phenolic fruit tone peeking through what seems like a decently carbonated spiced lighter summer beer. My first sip of this pseudo Saison is met with a slightly harsh mixture of flavors, a bitter dryness at first followed by watery emptiness some malt sweetness shines through but the flavors are conflicting in my mouth and only hoping to eventually harmonize I will let this sample sit until it warms slightly. The mouthfeel is light and meant for the summer time, and I could probably handle my share of these, but why would I want to when it's just a mediocre representation of a great beer. I will pass on this pass me my Saison Dupont.

new recipe for the Yards Saison for 2009...ABV has been bumped up to 6.5% with this new batch....picked up fresh at Canal's in NJ
light orange color....slightly cloudy....thin head....steady stream of carbonation flowing up from the bottom of my glass...patchy lacing
fruit aromas...has an orange/citrus scent to it...flavorful
light body with carbonation bite on the back of the tongue....defiantly has Belgian qualities to it
even with the higher ABV i could see putting a few of these back on a summer day on the deck....will seek this one out on draft also

Pours a cloudy gold; it has a nice hop, good carbonation and yeasty flavor throughout. Overall it is very satisfying and crisp
For the novice: A good introduction to the style.
Personally: Yards Saison has had a rough life, especially during the Kehoe/Barton years....sometimes tasting weak, slightly sour, and totally unlike the current version Yards is brewing today.
Cheers to Tom and gang, a quality saison proudly brewed in my home town.

(Served in a deep chalice)
A- this beer pours a hazy golden body with a thin ring of white foam on the rim. Strong carbonation aswell.
S- Sour honey aromas with strong notes of hard cider.
T- Lots of tart grapefruit with some tanginess too. A hint of ice tea and some lemon finish with a hop bitterness.
M- medium body with a small fizz. No alcohol warmth or astringency.
D- Very unique beer but they really need to work on the complexity of flavors to master this style. Very good solid beer.

12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass
Appearance: Pours a golden yellow/straw color with a half of a finger of white-colored head that quickly disappeared into a thin lacing of foam that covered practically the entire top of the beer.
Aroma: Typical Belgian Saison aroma of Belgian yeast, spices such as cardamom, clove, and lemon peel. Very nice.
Taste: Again, typical Belgian Saison flavors: yeasty, spicy (as in spices, not heat), citrusy. Notes of clove, black pepper, lemon, grapefruit, candied sugar, honey.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light, with some really good carbonation to tickle the taste buds and cleanse the palate.
Overall: I really liked this beer and found it to be a good example of an American version of a Belgian Saison. I'll certainly be getting it again.

DATE REVIEWED: July 24, 2014... GLASSWARE: La Fin du Monde tulip... OCCASION: just watched Earth to Echo--fun, but not E.T. ...APPEARANCE: hazy, glowing golden orange body; an armada of bubbles cascades upward into a white, frothy, three-finger head that leaves thick cumulous clouds... AROMA: candied sugar, hay and lemon zest--missing the signature barnyard yeasts, though--definite allspice, cumin and coriander... PALATE: lively, active in the teeth; medium-bodied, with a long drawn-out, welcome aftertaste; sessionable but somewhat substantial... TASTE: apple, raisin, grape, zesty lemon, anise and cumin combine to create an abbey-like profile without the alcohol... OVERALL: one of the first (THE first?!) saison I had, and this bottle rewards well within my price range ($8.99 for a six); quite flavorful for the thirst-quenching expectations; Yards dos not often disappoint, and they do not here...

The Real Estate Assessment Center's (REAC) mission is to provide and promote the effective use of accurate, timely and reliable information assessing the condition of HUD's portfolio; to provide information to help ensure safe, decent and affordable housing; and to restore the public trust by identifying fraud, abuse and waste of HUD resources.

PIH-REAC System Upgrade Release Schedule:
Under the National Disaster Recovery Framework/Federal Disaster Recovery Coordination, HUD has been designated the Coordinating Agency for examination of housing-related issues and unmet housing needs after a major disaster declaration working closely with primary agencies and supporting organizations. Under the NDRF/FDRC, in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, HUD and the Housing Recovery Support Function were tasked with developing the Housing Recovery Support Strategy. The Housing RSS supports State and local efforts with regards to the preservation, rehabilitation, and development of housing in impacted communities. Recommendations include support for public housing resiliency measures by PHAs to mitigate against future storms, which may be of interest to a wide audience of PHAs, not just PHAs directly impacted by Hurricane Sandy in New York. For further information, please click here (see Chapter 3 of the anthology – Housing).
PHAS Capital Fund Interim Scoring Notice Revised June 2012: Pursuant to this Notice, all PHAs for fiscal years ending 3/31/2011, 6/30/2011, 9/30/2011, and 12/31/2011 will receive the full five points for the Capital Fund occupancy sub-indicator.
On May 1, 2011, the REAC forwarded an erroneous email to Section 8 Only Housing Agencies that had already submitted their unaudited/audited financial submissions. This email sent to housing agencies with fiscal years ending June 30, 2010, September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010, informed the housing agency that it failed to submit its unaudited/audited submission and would receive a Failure to Submit (FTS) indicator. Please disregard this email. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

People have asked me why I take the trouble to document the events that unfold when a fan runs onto a baseball diamond (most recently, the four fans who stormed Safeco Field). It's "weird," they say. I am "obsessed," they say. I will gladly cop to both charges while also observing that no one would call a garbage man "weird" for taking away your trash, or call a carpenter "obsessed" for restoring a bookshelf.
Television networks refrain from showing field-stormers on camera. Their reasoning -- that it would glorify those who are creating a nuisance and encourage future field-stormers -- is irrelevant to our desire to watch them ourselves. In fact, I imagine that if that quality of mystique were removed, we would find field-runnings significantly less interesting. It isn't surprising, it's human nature: tell us we cannot do something, and we want to do it. Tell us we cannot see something, and we want to see it.
Over the past weekend, though, fans of the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies who were watching from home were treated to something quite rare. A fan's unauthorized adventures on the field of play were shown on television.
Click the above image (graciously provided by @bubbaprog at Gifulmination) to see an animated .GIF of what television viewers saw. Indeed, the swell folks at Rogers SportsNet broadcast all but the final few seconds of this intrepid fan's adventure. For the rest, as always, we can depend on ourselves to provide video documentation:
Let's roll out the blackboard, please.
The route itself was well-run, if a little conventional; the gentleman's crescent-shaped elusive maneuver was an addition worthy of the reverberant sort of roar that one can only hear indoors.
Let's also hear it for the security personnel. Look at those trajectories. The two tacklers made beelines directly toward the field-stormer's eventual destination, made a single modest adjustment apiece, and performed the sort of tackle that signaled they weren't out to hurt anyone. All in all, a solid effort by all parties involved. I hope the fellow was locked up before all the mattresses were taken.
I'm sorry, I've strayed far off my original subject of discussion. Why do I take the trouble to document field-stormings? Well, because I find them delightful, and so, without a doubt, do many of you. I do them because no one else is there to do so.
I am not a hero. I am not great. I merely document the heroes and the great, and for as long as the discrimination of television networks leaves us with such narrow recourse, I am happy to perform such a duty.
P.S. I am aware of Tuesday night's field-stormer at the Giants game, and am presently in the fact-gathering stage. I will issue a report once I learn enough to satisfy my journalistic standards.

Comments about Roxy Women's Tavarua Sandal:
I am returning these. I will never wear them. They hurt the sides of my feet and the soles as the stitching is rough. The label on the bottom sticks up and rubs the undersides of both feet. Would not be comfortable at all to wear.
