I agree with the writer's opinions of this sculpture. The Peninsula is home to many such "works of art," too many. But this is, after all, a set of communities populated by technologists and the people who serve the interests of technological advancement and the resulting quick buck ... not a group steeped in the cultural values that would lead to respectable public art.
For great art, go to a cosmopolitan community.

I want to add that by "respectable public art," I meant art that invites serious consideration.

Darth Vader
Once a heroic Jedi Knight, Darth Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force, became a Sith Lord, and led the Empire's eradication of the Jedi Order. He remained in service of the Emperor -- the evil Darth Sidious -- for decades, enforcing his Master's will and seeking to crush the fledgling Rebel Alliance. But there was still good in him…
Admiral Ozzel
Admiral Ozzel commanded the Super Star Destroyer Executor, Darth Vader's mighty flagship and the linchpin of the squadron searching the galaxy for the Alliance's secret base. Ozzel led the initial attack on Hoth, but his choice of tactics infuriated Vader, leading to a sudden and permanent demotion.
One of the most feared bounty hunters of the galaxy, Bossk used his natural Trandoshan hunting instincts to capture his prey. During the Clone Wars, the red-eyed reptilian partnered with Aurra Sing, Castas and young Boba Fett. Bossk didn't care much for vendettas or politics. He was in it to get paid. After a brief stint in a Republic prison, Bossk continued his partnership with Fett, becoming a bodyguard to the teen bounty hunter. Decades later, Bossk answered Darth Vader's call to capture the Millennium Falcon after the Battle of Hoth, an assignment that put him in direct competition with Boba.
Super Star Destroyer
The Super Star Destroyer is one of the largest, most powerful Imperial vessels ever created. A smooth hull presents an arrowhead shaped profile when viewed from above. Resting in the center of this hull is an "island" of habitable volume. Weapons emplacements bristle on the layered city-like surface. The trapezoidal command tower stands near the aft end of this island, capped with two geodesic communication and deflection domes. The underside is a busy network of engineering and superstructure. Thirteen colossal engine thrusters glow blood red as they push the immense craft through space.
Emperor Palpatine / Darth Sidious
Scheming, powerful, and evil to the core, Darth Sidious restored the Sith and destroyed the Jedi Order. Living a double life, Sidious was in fact Palpatine, a Naboo Senator and phantom menace. He slowly manipulated the political system of the Galactic Republic until he was named Supreme Chancellor -- and eventually Emperor -- ruling the galaxy through fear and tyranny.
Galactic Empire
The Galactic Empire ruled for years through fear, intimidation, and tyranny. With a mighty military force including stormtroopers, spy technology like probe droids, and the planet-destroying Death Star, Emperor Palpatine's regime seemed unstoppable and permanent. But some dared to strike back…

INDIANAPOLIS — Beef & Board Dinner Theatre opened its 40th season with a production of "Arsenic & Old Lace."
The cast includes David Schmittou as Mortimer, Karen Papas as Abby, Gerri Weagraff as Martha, and Jeff Stockberger as the maniacal Jonathan.
The main cast, along with several talented supporting members, tell the tale of murder in a sweet and hilarious way.
The show takes place just over a one-day period in the Brewster family home where the elderly sisters, Abby and Martha, bring their special brand of charity to the lonely in Brooklyn.
I've seen this production in other theaters but really enjoyed this cast — especially Stockberger's rendition of the creepy older brother.
Papas and Weagraff also do a wonderful job of bringing to life the sisters who make their own brand of elderberry wine with "arsenic, strychnine, and just a pinch of cyanide."
The idea of the two Methodist women "helping" their lonely roomers out of their misery is a funny premise for a play.
The show was made popular by the 1941 Frank Capra film staring Cary Grant as Mortimer, who seems to be the only sane member of the family.
Schmittou does a fabulous job of bringing the character to life and by the end of the production, you almost feel sorry for Mortimer. He does everything he can to keep his "crazy" family out of trouble.
His fiancé, Elaine Harper, is played by Lisa Ermel. Ermel is in her debut role at Beef & Boards.
I think my favorite performance in a supporting role came from Eddie Curry as Jonathan's partner, Dr. Einstein. Curry is one of Beef & Board's favorite character actors.
But I also enjoyed Douglas Stark's portrayal of Teddy, the nutty nephew of the ladies and the brother of Jonathan and Mortimer.

Flashback! This is the 168-116 game two years ago against the Supersonics. I just felt like posting this because I'm bored, and because of how much the Nuggets' roster has changed in the past two years. Some things to notice: Allen Iverson took and somehow made a good deal of really bad shots, and Johan Petro played a good deal, turning the ball over a good deal.
A video about Allen Iverson during his time in Denver. It's so funny because, well, Iverson calls himself the best leader and fiercest competitor ever. He's currently dealing with divorce, an illness to his 4-year-old daughter, and drinking and gambling problems.

Kevin Love removed the padded glove and helped the Timberwolves to a 97-89 win over Sacramento ending the teams five game losing streak.
Love had been wearing the protective glove since returning from injury last Wednesday night but had issues with his shooting touch from the field. It was the first 20-20 performance in the NBA this season.
Luke Ridnour shot the ball better and finished with 18 points, five-rebounds while Nikola Pekovic finished with 16 points and eight rebounds in the win.
The Wolves held a double-digit lead heading into the fourth quarter only to watch the Kings close the gap to two with a little over a minute remaining. Andrei Kirilenko, who finished with 14 points, six rebounds and four assists found Pekovic for a layup to extend the lead to four with a minute left. He then blocked DeMarcus Cousins in essence ending the Kings bid for a comeback win.
Love put the icing on the cake when his turnaround desperation prayer from 15 feet away went in as the shot clock expired.
The win bumps the Wolves record to 6-7 and 2-0 against the Kings in the early season. The Wolves play the final game of their current road trip tonight as they face the Clippers in Los Angeles.

Virginia's emergency management personnel report that the worst of the storms associated with Hurricane Sandy will likely impact our area from approximately Monday morning through Tuesday evening. In addition to potentially heavy rain at times, high winds, with gusts of 40-45 mph may occur along the entire I-95 corridor. As a result, please double-check to make sure that you have brought inside or secured any items that may blow away in heavy winds. Several business owners, as well, have indicated that they are considering removing their outdoor hanging signs.
Occoquan Police Chief Sheldon Levi and I met yesterday and spoke with our maintenance personnel to make what preparations we can in advance of the storm. If flooding from Ballywhack and Boundary Branch Creeks crosses roadways, we are prepared to shut down Tanyard Hill Road, Washington Street, and/or Poplar Lane, and will direct traffic out of town via Commerce Street. Additionally, though we do not anticipate closing the footbridge, it is likely that river flooding will require prohibiting access to the town pier and boardwalk.
As advised earlier, click here and here to go the American Red Cross sites suggested by the Prince William County Office of Emergency Management for information on preparing for hurricanes and flooding, respectively. At the County's emergency management site you may also sign up for community alerts.
Among the things to consider doing in preparation are:
- Making sure you have a battery-powered or hand-crank radio and are well stocked with batteries and flashlights.
- Making sure you have adequate supplies of water and food, including for pets.
If your electricity goes out, please do not assume that others have reported the problem. Instead, if you live in the Town of Occoquan contact Dominion Power and inform them of the outage by telephoning 1-866-366-4357. Again, please use caution and make a point of checking on your neighbors if possible.

PEKIN Ill -- Pekin Township held a free ham dinner this afternoon, inviting anyone who wanted some company for Easter.
Dozens of volunteers of all ages helped cook up the meals and serve those attending.
Thanks to generous donations throughout the year, the Township was able to make enough food to feed 400 people.
"If you are a widow or a widower and you are alone, rather than eat a holiday meal by yourself, you can come in here and share a meal with somebody else in the township," said Pekin Township Supervisor, Kevin Cone. "Everybody here is friendly and willing to help you out."
"This gives us a chance to sit and talk about what is important to us, and it gives us an opportunity to have a nutritious meal also, which a lot of these probably wouldn't have," said Pekin resident, Frank Coatney.
If you would like to make a donation to the Pekin Township community group, you can call the office at 346-3194.

The old Carlton Police Station which most likely once confined Melbourne gangster Squizzy Taylor has been listed for sale.
The vacant heritage listed Drummond Street Carlton property only ceased being the police station in 2010.
With residential 1 zoning, it is being sold by the state government through Jellis Craig by May 29 public tender.
Sitting on 992 square metres, the new of its two buildings is the 1890s six-cell bluestone jail designed by John Dow.
The 1920s gangster Squizzy Taylor, who will be the subject of the upcoming Channel Nine Underbelly series, has links to the site.
Taylor regularly frequented the area and was fatally wounded in a gunfight with his rival John Daniel "Snowy" Cutmore at a nearby house on Barkly Street on October 27, 1927.
The symmetrical brick Victorian restrained Classical-Revival style building on the street was designed by Public Works Department architects William Steel and George Watson in 1878.
It was built to replace an earlier police station at the corner of Drummond and Faraday streets.
Jellis Craig agents Simon Shrimpton and Craig Shearn expect around $3 million for the tender offering.

Lincoln, Neb. The No. 13 Nebraska volleyball team improved to 3-1 on the season with a 3-1 (25-14, 25-13, 20-25, 25-20) win over the Villanova Wildcats on Friday evening at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.

The Huskers fought off Villanova for five set points, but the Wildcats prevailed to win the set 25-20.
Robinson and Fien led NU in the third set with three kills each, but the Huskers hit just .106 as a team. Nebraska out-dug Villanova 24-22, but had only four team blocks to the Wildcat's five blocks.
Nebraska responded in the fourth set, taking a 5-4 lead on an early error by Villanova. The Wildcats came back to go up 9-6 and force NU to call a timeout, but the Huskers answered as they tied the match at 12-12. Villanova took the lead at 18-16, but Nebraska used three consecutive points to go up 19-18. The Huskers didn't look back from there, winning the fourth set 25-20.

Bacon lovers rejoice as the first bacon festival will be coming to Roanoke in August.
It's just one of several events that now calls Roanoke home.
Downtown Roanoke Inc. has been working to grow the Star City's profile by recruiting more festivals.
That strategy is helping some smaller local businesses like R.T. Smith's Deli on Campbell Avenue.
Owner Craig Smith said the long term effects of festivals are generally good for business.
"During festivals we get a lot more foot traffic," Smith said. "People walking by who have never seen it before, maybe next week when they're out and about they remember, hey there's that New York style deli, let's try it out."
Roanoke's BaconFest is set for August 31 at Railside Plaza.

Wise Dan won his second straight Breeders' Cup Mile to end the year (Photos courtesy of Eclipse Sportswire).
Fifteen U.S.-based horses placed among the top 50 in the newest edition of the Longines International Federation of Horseracing Authorities World Thoroughbred Rankings with reigning U.S. Horse of the Year Wise Dan earning a spot in the top five for the second straight year.
Wise Dan checked in fifth in 2012 after his Horse of the Year campaign and moved up to third internationally following a season that culminated with a repeat win in the Breeders' Cup Mile. Wise Dan was given a rating of 129, the same as in 2012. In his 13 races over the last two seasons, Wise Dan has amassed 11 wins and two seconds for owner-breeder Mort Fink and trainer Charlie LoPresti. The 6-year-old Wiseman's Ferry gelding confirmed his status internationally in the IFHA rankings with only Australian superstar sprinter Black Caviar and Treve, a 3-year-old filly who won the French Oaks and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, ahead of him. Both Black Caviar and Treve were rated at 130. (See the table at the bottom for a complete explanation of the IFHA rankings.)
Rounding out the top five in what most likely will also serve as the year-end 2013 rankings with most of the key races completed are Group 1 winners Novellist at 128 and Toronado at 126.
Three U.S. horses tied for sixth with a 125 rating: Animal Kingdom, winner of the 2013 Dubai World Cup; Game On Dude, who swept the Santa Anita Handicap, Hollywood Gold Cup and Pacific Classic Stakes; and Breeders' Cup Classic winner Mucho Macho Man. Animal Kingdom officially raced for Australian connections in Dubai, but was based throughout his career and early this season in the U.S. with trainer Graham Motion.
Theoretically, Game On Dude could improve his ranking should he turn in a dazzling effort in the Grade 1 Clark Handicap on Friday at Churchill Downs.
Grade 1 winners Fort Larned and Will Take Charge, the latter the close runner-up in the Breeders' Cup Classic, checked in tied for 12th with a rating of 124.
Also among the top U.S.-based horses are multiple Grade 1 winner Point of Entry (tied for 23rd with 123 rating) and Jockey Club Gold Cup winner Ron the Greek (one of eight tied at 29 with a rating of 122).
Breeders' Cup Distaff winner Beholder was the top-ranked female from the U.S. with a 121 rating that placed her sixth overall among female horses internationally behind the aforementioned Black Caviar and Treve as well as Moonlight Cloud (123), The Fugue (123) and Atlantic Jewel (122).
U.S.–based horses tied with Beholder are Breeders' Cup Turf third-place finisher Indy Point and Grade 1 winner Obviously.
Rounding out the U.S. contingent represented in the rankings are Kentucky Derby winner Orb, 2012 champion older female Royal Delta, Haskell Invitational Stakes winner Verrazano and Breeders' Cup Mile runner-up Za Approval who were among 15 horses tied with a 120 rating that ranked 44th overall.
Four horses who competed in the Breeders' Cup World Championships – Olympic Glory (125 rating), Declaration of War (124), Magician (124) and The Fugue (123) – also made the top 50.
The LONGINES World's Best Racehorse Rankings is horseracing's equivalent to World Rankings by other major sporting organizations such as ATP Tennis Rankings, World Golf Rankings, FIFA World Rankings for soccer and IRB Rugby World Rankings. The LONGINES Rankings are based on the ratings earned by horses running worldwide from North and South America, Europe, Middle East, South Africa, Asia through to Australia and New Zealand. The ratings are compiled under the auspices of The International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) by racing officials & handicappers representing the five continents who compile the ranking order by agreeing on the rating for each horse. The ratings are based on the performance of horses in elite races held during the designated period, which takes in account the quality of opposition and achievements of each horse. Throughout the year the Longines Rankings are published at regular intervals and the consolidated annual rankings are released in January. The annual rankings denote the champions in the various distance categories for example sprint or mile, surface either turf or dirt/artificial and also the fillies & mares category.

Got home from a trip to Tulsa and Knoxville and what do you know? About a foot of wet snow. Most of the drive had been driven on before plowing and had turned mostly to ice. Man can that Cub plow snow Second gear about half throttle drop the blade and away she goes. Snow curling over the top of the blade and flying to the side. For a 10 hp tractor this thing never ran out of power just traction...even with chains and wheel weights. No match for the snow and ice here. I felt guilty having sooo much fun pushing snow...NAW
It's taken me a while to get her running this good. It sure was worth it. Thanks for your help fellas, much learned here. Now if I can retain some of it I may not need all the help with the 49's. Can't wait to get started but have to wait until moved. Anyone looking for a house near Lake Tahoe?

Lebanon —
The Lebanon Tigers entered Friday's sectional match-up with Mooresville looking to slow down Pioneer running back Zane O'Dell.
It did that — and more. Lebanon held O'Dell to 19 yards rushing on 11 carries and dominated defensively in a 19-0 win Friday night.
"We were worried about O'Dell, he is a great runner," Lebanon head coach Kent Wright said. "We talked about how we were going to have to fly around and gang tackle him and I thought the defense did a good job of doing that."
After a scoreless first quarter, Lebanon scored on its first drive of the second quarter.
Jamason Wright — who on the first play of the drive ran down the left sideline for 35 yards — punched it in from seven yards out with 4:54 to go in the half. The extra point was blocked, leaving the Tigers' lead at 6-0.
Lebanon forced a Pioneer three-and-out and started from its own 42 with 2:43 to go. The Tigers marched down the field in six plays, scoring when Collin Campbell scored on a two-yard run. The two-point try was unsuccessful, giving Lebanon a 12-0 lead in the game.
Campbell rushed for 108 yards on 17 carries and Wright had 94 yards on 18 carries. Both backs had more yards individually than Mooresville had as a team.
"With the mud and the rain we wanted to control the ball and control the clock and run the ball," coach Wright said. "I thought we did that. The line did a good job blocking and we were able to get it done tonight. We are just hoping for some good weather next week so we can throw the ball more."
For a majority of the third quarter, both offenses were in reverse. On the first five possessions of the half, the two teams combined for negative 23 yards of offense.

---- — Over the past year, I have carefully followed the multitude of point-counterpoint opinions regarding the proposal to establish a local historic district (LHD) expressed in news coverage, letters to the editor, and Viewpoint pieces in The Daily News. Though not a Newburyport resident, I live nearby and have an interest in this issue.
The generally courteous dialogue on this issue is an excellent lesson in civil discourse. This comes in stark contrast to the continuing descent of civil discussion nationally on just about any matter of significance, especially the recent presidential election.
As a long-time federal mediator and facilitator of environmental and public policy disputes, I recognize well the diversity of beliefs, interpretations and emotions that emerge when issues that affect people personally, especially their property and finances, are brought to the fore by proposals or actions of government.
Those on each side of the LHD issue, which in part is readily evident by driving along High Street, are practicing their right of free speech in a constructive manner that attempts to inform and persuade. This provides a fine example for anyone watching, especially children and teens who've yet to find their own voice.
There have been numerous letters and a few Viewpoint pieces that attempted to present facts researched diligently by the authors to support a position or to point out flaws in the position of the others. In the mediation field, there is a saying that there are three sides to every issue: yours, theirs and the truth. This isn't to question that the authors believe passionately that what they write is true and accurate; they do indeed.
So it is a noteworthy and revealing human trait that people can delve into the same background information, digest and process that information and use it to arrive at and support opposing opinions with equal passion and conviction. That reality is part of what makes public policy disputes especially controversial, highly charged and fascinating to follow and analyze.
Because of the great number of letters, opinions and suggestions, I wonder if something is missing from the ongoing process. A great many Newburyport residents are deeply engaged in this matter, and they are mostly limited to writing to the newspaper or posting a sign on their lawn. While there have been a few recent public meetings to solicit input, from what I perceive, these meetings come late in the process, after much speculation and inaccurate information has been disseminated, causing positions to have hardened.
Judging from the continuing stream of correspondence, it seems an indication that, generally speaking, many people are frustrated because they do not feel that they've been heard or had a sufficient opportunity to be heard; that is, that their opinions and suggestions have not been adequately acknowledged and considered.
In a matter like this, it often proves informative for all and especially useful to decision-makers to have some type of organized public engagement process — one that is designed and structured to provide the greatest benefit to the community as it wrestles with thorny matters. Importantly, it is key to involve all who may be affected by the issue and provide early opportunities for input. Though such a process comes at a cost — to have an appropriate process designed and conducted — it need not be prohibitive and can be money well spent.
One of the key benefits is that accurate background information can be disseminated early that allows everyone involved to understand the process and work from the same set of facts. In addition, anyone in the community who wishes gets the opportunity to be heard fully by the decision-makers while options are being formulated, those who are undecided get to listen to a diversity of opinions, and decision-makers can come to a fully informed decision at the end of the process.
In essence, anyone who wants to be heard gets that opportunity, a full range of views and potential options are aired publicly, the decision-making process can be clearly explained and the entire process is transparent.
I will continue to follow the LHD matter to its conclusion, whatever that may be and whenever it may occur. For those involved at all levels, I applaud you for keeping it civil. For the next big public policy issue to face the city, consider early on how best to involve the community in an inclusive and transparent process.

New spriest. Just wondering if there are any must have add ons.
New spriest. Just wondering if there are any must have add ons.
but... I recommend that you pick up a DoT timer or use Power Auras as one. That's the best way to keep track of your VT/DP so they don't fall off. You can also use Power Auras to keep you updated on your MB/SWD/Shadowfiend cooldowns as well, and keep an eyeball on your shadow orb stack etc etc..
So.. uh.. get power auras ;p
A dot timer if you really want one..
Nothing else.
Edit: A keyboard helps, and maybe a mouse, add-ons to your PC
I'll be contrary a bit. I use TellMeWhen, PowerAuras and ForteXorcist. The last is the only really important one for me as it allows you to track run times for dots on multiple mobs. I use PowerAuras for tracking orbs and warning me when a target is at 25% health and TellMeWhen for everything else.
Most of this is in the UI but with larger monitors and all, I like being able to move things around a bit to make everything easy to see.
I also keep Healbot around and occasionally visible in case I need to toss out a Hymn or PW:S someone. Most spriests don't bother with healing but once in a while, it's helpful to be able to save a wipe by doing something.
Addons are very specific to the user. It's possible to play the game well without them. But if something is helpful to you, you shouldn't worry too much about using one.
I'm a huge fan of Event Horizon.
Never play leapfrog with a unicorn.
-Powerauras Classic
-Quartz cast bar
Some very good ones to have.
Gnosis pride here.

It is not the count of your posts, but the quality of your posts that matter... luckily, I have both. ^_<
I use Event Horizon, and I love it. I find it a lot better than other dot trackers, as it is easier to determine which action to do next.
Also, an addon showing mind flay ticks is very useful, along with the latency. I'm using Quartz, but they are other good ones around.
Gnosis Cast bar. Made by a fellow sPriest and does tick tracking a lot better than Quartz. This allows you to be better at MF1 and MF2 when needed.
Gotta say, ButtonTimers is the sheeeeeit.
Gnosis for castbar, Satrina Buff Frames for proc tracking.
The wildest priest in the world.

gnosis for castbar

Grown to love Shadowtimers.
You can tell WoW changed the MMO for good when players started complaining about the amount of time they sink, into a time sink.
I think MFClip is ossum!
THIS!!!!Grown to love Shadowtimers.
Also, Quartz (castbar) and ForteXorcist (Dot-tracker and ICD timer for procs like DMC:V, Lightweave and Power Torrent)
By MY hand, your slack shall be extinguished, eternally banished from this realm.
Holyfury armory - <Inept> 3d/w 25guild
If you are really serious about making the most out of your dps, then consider getting...
-something that will track when Mind FLay ticks are for clipping purposes
-and something that will show latency in your castbar so you know (even more accuratly) when dots are going to tick
gnosis is nice, there are others that may feel more comfortable, try some out
If you're looking for something that simply works, I highly recommend MFClip.
It's designed to cater exactly for Spriests and their DoT tracking, so it works out of the box without any fuss, and is one of the better tracking addons about as of now. I'd recommend using TidyPlates and the Quatre theme for multi-DoT tracking, it creates icons above enemy nameplates displaying the durations of your debuffs on them, extremely useful for maintaining multiple sets of DoTs.
Xperl and OmniCC is all you need.
MFClip is sooooo good. Only one you need apart from standard fare like unit frames and action bars. Tukui + MFClip and you're all set.
People complaining about arena queues? Oh, my sweet summer child. What do you know of waiting? Waiting is for the dungeon finder, where the average time is 25 minutes and children are born and live and die all before they find a fucking tank.

I've classified my picture book as a children's book because I think the paintings will appeal to kids of all ages. The poetry is about day-to-day things, like being afraid of the dark, or going swimming in the ocean. One poem is about the wild birds of Socorro, NM, another about Billy the Kid. Nothing in the book is inappropriate for kids, but as the parent, you'll have to decide what's good for your kids.
I love painting, I love kids, and I love writing. I decided it was time to marry my loves and make a book. I am working on a new book to go along with this one.

Oxford United boss gives side the thumbs-up
9:30am Monday 18th February 2013 in Oxford Utd By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
A DELIGHTED Chris Wilder's only complaint after Oxford United beat Plymouth Argyle was they had not won more handsomely.
Maximum points were secured by James Constable's 16th-minute tap-in, only the side's third goal in six games.
A failure to take chances has been United's Achilles' heel during a five-game winless run and again they spurned clear-cut opportunities.
But a single goal was enough to claim a deserved victory, which thrilled Wilder.
He said: "Every win is important, but that was a big three points for us.
"We always felt we were one performance and one result away from going again and we've got to make sure we do that.
"Over the last two or three weeks the performances have been OK against some decent sides and we were up against another one.
"I thought we dominated the game, although I would have liked to have scored another couple of goals because I think our play deserved that.
"We looked bright and on the front foot. It was an uncomfortable last 20-25 minutes because we knew the gap should have been bigger than it was.
"You always put pressure on yourself to win, but when you've not done that for a few games you have to go looking for it.
"We were bold in our selection again, we were bold in our approach and we got our reward.
"Nothing has changed in the overall process between winning the four games over Christmas and the last few.
"You keep believing."
United had to make yet another late enforced change to the side, as Alfie Potter succumbed to an illness on Friday night.
Tony Capaldi did not travel due to a similar virus, which meant the visitors could only name six substitutes.
Wilder is optimistic the winger will recover in time for Saturday's game at home to York City, but praised his replacement Josh Parker, who was already being considered for selection after encouraging performances as a substitute.
"Hopefully Alfie will be available for the next game," the United boss said.
"In the middle of the night he got taken ill and I got the dreaded (physio) Andy Lord phone call in the morning.
"But we dealt with it and I was delighted with Josh Parker, who I thought was excellent.
"He deserved his chance and he was in our mind to play him in the game anyway."

Obama DOJ On The Wrong Side Of Don't Ask, Don't Tell
by Andre Walker, Sun Sep 26, 2010 at 04:39:45 PM EDT
"You don't need to be straight to fight and die for your country. You just need to shoot straight."
-1964 Republican presidential nominee & U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater
In what world would Republicans have a better gay rights record than that of a so-called progressive, Democratic presidential administration?
We are living in that world, 2010 America, and a GOP-allied group paid more than lip-service to the nation's gay community as the Democratic administration of President Barack Obama hemmed and hawed their way around an important GLBT issue.
Six years after first taking legal action to overturn the discriminatory "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" military policy, the Log Cabin Republicans won a victory for gay Americans everywhere. United States District Court Judge Virginia A. Phillips ruled that "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is unconstitutional.
A federal judge in California on Thursday declared the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy unconstitutional, saying it violates both the First Amendment rights to free speech and the Fifth Amendment rights to due process in the U.S. constitution.
The opinion strikes down the 1993 law that bars from the military any servicemember who engages in "homosexual conduct," has a "propensity" to do so, or even just states that he or she is a "homosexual or bisexual.
Keen, Lisa (2010-9-9). Federal judge declares DADT unconstitutional. Dallas Voice. Retrieved on 2010-9-26.
Soon after Judge Phillips' ruling, objection was filed.
But the objection came from the unlikeliest of sources -- the Obama Department of Justice.
The Obama administration is objecting to a request for an immediate halt to the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy after a federal court ruled that the policy barring gays from serving openly is unconstitutional.
"A court should not compel the Executive to implement an immediate cessation...particularly at a time when the military is engaged in combat operations and other demanding military activities around the globe," the government said in a court filing.
Rizzo, Jennifer (2010-9-23). Justice Department objects to court action on "don't ask, don't tell". CNN. Retrieved on 2010-9-26.
In response to the actions of the Obama Justice Department, Log Cabin Republicans Executive Director R. Clarke Cooper said, "We are deeply disappointed with this Administration's decision."
"Yet again, the Obama Administration has failed to live up to its campaign promise to repeal this unconstitutional law for the servicemembers of this country."
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, seeking political cover for the President, issued a statement September 23rd saying the DOJ's objection to Judge Phillips' ruling "in no way diminishes the President's firm commitment to achieve a legislative repeal of DADT."
I disagree.
The end game here is not, as the White House puts it, a "legislative repeal of DADT." The goal is a complete repeal of DADT, regardless of how that repeal may come about.
The Log Cabin Republicans took action. The GOP-allied group filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." They won, and now Republicans have a better record on this particular GLBT issue because they got results.
Contrast that to the mealy-mouthed bowl of mush gay Americans are getting from President Obama.
The Obama Administration says they're committed to a "legislative repeal."
What the hell does that even mean?
Page 36 of the 2008 Democratic National Platform reads, "We support the repeal of 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' and the implementation of policies to allow qualified men and women to serve openly regardless of sexual orientation."
This is language that the 186-member 2008 Democratic National Convention Platform Committee voted on and approved. This is language that 4,419 Democratic National Convention delegates adopted on August 25, 2008 (Trust me on this one folks, I was there). This language doesn't say we support the "legislative repeal." This language says, "We support the repeal of 'Don't Ask Don't Tell.'" Period. End of question.
This objection by the Obama Department of Justice flies in the face of a Democratic platform that was approved by both Clinton delegates as well as Obama delegates. By filing an objection to this judicial ruling, the Obama Administration places itself squarely on the wrong side of this important GLBT issue.
And that's just the way it is.

The Grizz did a TERRIFIC job this off-season. We went out with a plan, and for once, executed. Wallace really did well. This is probably the best off-season since Jerry West, and that says a lot. I really feel like the Grizz have a serious shot at making the playoffs, and imagine this, winning a game in the post season.

A Different Day on the Ocean
The forecasted rain and wind for day two failed to show, at least early in the day. We made bait and started trolling at 8:15 a.m. under sunny skies and wallowing swells off Catalina. The sea came alive.
A pod of Risso's dolphin surfaced ahead of us. Badsey commented that where anglers see Risso's, they often see swordfish. For a moment, he seemed tempted to go fish the school; however, reconnaissance reports from the previous night said marlin may be chasing saury schools near our day-one location. Badsey stayed put, trolling first up swell and then turning to troll down swell to keep the lures running true.
The thermometer read 67.4 degrees. Voices crackled on the VHF. Badsey spotted three feeders on a ball of sauries. Bretza and Hendricks quickly hooked mackerel through the nares and prepared to pitch them to the marlin as Badsey maneuvered the boat.
A stripe picked up Bretza's bait, and after dropping back, Bretza came tight. The fish peeled off line, rocking him against the coaming pads. It shot into the air, twisting and writhing violently. "In colder water, the fish are stronger," Badsey chimed as Bretza worked the 100-plus-pound fish astern.
As the fish finally came boat-side, Badsey billed it and removed the circle hook from the corner of its mouth. The fish quickly revived and swam away. By the clock, the hookup occurred about an hour after the slack high.
With expectations high for more hookups, the crew deployed lines as Badsey scanned for more signs of fish. But the weather front expected earlier in the day began to descend, and clouds with intermittent rain moved in from offshore. We trolled and waited.
Fun Finale
At about 3 p.m., the lull was jarred by an explosion on the short flat line - the 8-inch Pakula Mosquito. Closest to the rod, Hawthorne hauled it out of the holder while the rest of the crew hustled him a rod belt and began clearing longer lines, all the while looking for more feeders. Though a veteran SoCal angler, Hawthorne had never caught a striped marlin. His excitement was contagious.
Even against the 50-pound-class Titus, the fish took line. It jumped in the distance as Hawthorne howled and held pressure on the seemingly rabid marlin.
Methodically, Hawthorne brought the fish closer, and when it swam boat-side, we could see the line had wrapped three times around its bottom jaw. Badsey and Hendricks calmed the fish, unwrapped the line and removed the hook.
Though our release count tallied just two, and reports from a week earlier had suggested a double-digit release day might have been possible, Badsey remained buoyed by the success and by Hawthorne's first release. "That's still a good day of Southern California marlin fishing," he said.
Souped-Up Sabikis
While store-bought or home-rigged sabikis work fine for most bait-catching applications, tournament billfisherman Capt. Chris Badsey believes he gains a competitive edge rigging his own sabikis with Owner hooks and 30-pound fluorocarbon, terminated with an 8-ounce torpedo sinker.
More Lines In?
While we ran four lines and two teasers during my October striped marlin trip, some captains - like tournament pro Chris Badsey - choose to deploy more baits, particularly during competition. "I am always criticized that I run too many lines for too few anglers on board, but we always get bit," Badsey says. "My theory is that if everyone else is trolling four lines, same bait, same area, what makes it inviting for a marlin to come into your spread pattern versus the other boats' in the area?"
Badsey trolls as many lines as possible, trying to simulate a baitball. His typical spread depends on the conditions and crew but generally includes a short corner; a long corner; two lines off the short rigger with a teaser (squid daisy chain); two off the long rigger with a teaser; and a flat line in the center alongside a teaser, followed by a shotgun line way back down the center.

another happy Dell U2711 owner. Great monitor for the price. the 30" is great for photo work but isn't my favorite to game on or web surf.
The NEC monitors people have mentioned (PA271W) are a little nicer (not that much) and cost a little bit more, maybe justified for some. I've never owned one but worked on them enough to know they work well enough.
The Eizo stuff is a step up from there and can be color corrected easily if you need that. The money for me just didn't line up for these monitors as a serious hobbyist. However, if I were a professional who needed this as a real everyday tool this would be the monitor to buy.
The NEC PA do have the 14bit 3D internal LUT so they can be calibrated to a perfect sRGB though and the tone response curve can also be internally calibrated for that mode and wide gamut modes so you don't give up any shades, it's all done 14bit internally.

(WMC-TV) - A Mid-South community has a message for their residents: Clean up your lawn or pay .
Southaven is cracking down on city codes. If you have been neglecting your yard, you may want to get outside and mow, or else the violations could cost you.
Brian Gray has noticed a couple of homes in his neighborhood that are in need of attention.
"It could look better," he said.
Overgrown grass and trash out front make one of the properties an eyesore. It is the abandoned properties that new city leaders want cleaned up so that other people in the neighborhood will not look to move.
"Why would I want to live in that neighborhood if those other houses in the neighborhood are down and shabby looking," said Gray.
Southaven's new board is making code enforcement a top priority, particularly overgrown grass.
"There's other issues with vehicles parked in the yard, things like that, but these are all things that decrease property values," said Southaven Mayor Darren Musselwhite.
Grass growing higher than six inches is a code violation.
If Southaven residents do not mow the lawn within one week of receiving a door hanging warning them of the violation, they will be ordered to appear in city court where they could be fined a minimum of $100.
The Southaven Board of Aldermen will vote Tuesday to condemn and clean up a couple of properties, but the city wants homeowners to be proactive so that yards do not end up getting out of hand.
The city planner says the three main violations that can get someone in trouble include grass taller than six inches, cars parked on the lawn, and yard signs left out.

Running back Fred Jackson has left the Buffalo Bills' game against the St. Louis Rams with a right leg injury and is not expected to return after being carted to the locker room.
Jackson had nine carries for 14 yards against the Rams before being injured. Jackson was hit low and stayed down on the field before being helped to the sideline. It is not clear yet whether the injury is to his knee or ankle, but he had to be driven back to the locker room.
Thus far in the 2012 season, Jackson has carried 106 times for 423 yards and three touchdowns. He has also caught 29 passes for 201 yards and one receiving touchdown.
The 31-year-old Jackson is a six-year NFL veteran, spending his whole career with Buffalo.

New Promos for Marvel's AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.
by Matt Goldberg Posted 1 year, 18 days ago
Networks are preparing to unleash their fall shows, and ABC has one of the most-anticipated with Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The network has released two new, vastly different promos. The first is Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) briefly and dryly describing the other main characters. You can almost hear Gregg groaning at the terrible copy. The other promo is a standard TV spot that does a much better job of quickly explaining the premise and showing off a bit of the action. It's the one that makes September feel much further away.
Hit the jump to check out the promos. The series also stars Ming-Na Wen, Brett Dalton, Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker, and Elizabeth Henstridge. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premieres on Tuesday, September 24th at 8pm (EST).

Glass Engraver
Splendor In The Glass
For 36 years, artisan Catherine Miller has pursued the dying art of intaglio crystal engraving and specializes in original one of a kind heirloom items.
Catherine's inspiration to engrave originated with an article in National Geographic covering the dying art of copper wheel engraving. Perfecting her passion, Catherine achieved her goal of becoming a world class engraver and works without the use of stencils or patterns. By staying true to the old world method of hand engraving into crystal with a variety of stone wheels of different diameters and profiles on a lathe, Catherine is able to create unique masterpieces with great detail.
Several of her pieces have taken close to 200 hours to engrave.

Kokomo Tribune
---- — Miami TE Keller hurt against Texans
HOUSTON (AP) — Miami tight end Dustin Keller sustained what appeared to be a serious right leg injury in the second quarter against the Houston Texans.
Keller's leg bent unnaturally when he was tackled on the right knee by D.J. Swearinger on an incomplete pass Saturday night. He immediately grabbed his right knee and was soon carted off the field.
The team didn't provide any official word on his injury.
Keller spent his first five seasons with the New York Jets before signing with the Dolphins in the offseason. The Lafayette, Ind. native played his college ball at Purdue.
He had one reception for 14 yards on Saturday.
Lawyer: first Penn St. abuse claim settled
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A lawyer says his client is the first to settle a civil claim against Penn State related to the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse case.
Attorney Tom Kline confirmed in an email that the client known as Victim 5 when he testified at Sandusky's criminal trial has agreed to terms with the university.
The paper says it's was among 26 settlements expected soon among the 31 young men who have pressed claims over the actions of the university's former assistant football coach. A Penn State spokesman says the school "continues to make progress on multiple settlements" but isn't commenting on the newspaper's report of a multimillion-dollar deal.
Tight race for final spots in Chase
BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Greg Biffle has won the last two Sprint Cup races at Michigan. He could use another strong performance this weekend, because his position in the standings is a precarious one.
And he's not alone. There are four races left before the Chase for the Sprint Cup, with the top 10 drivers qualifying along with two wild cards. Biffle is in ninth place.
Even defending Cup champion Brad Keselowski isn't secure. He's in eighth place, but only 12 points separate him from 12th-place Kasey Kahne.

Three preseason games are in the books, with a fourth on the docket for Thursday night, but we've seen enough. Exhibition games, of course, shouldn't be treated as gospel where the regular season is concerned, but it's becoming obvious what the Chiefs are and are not at this juncture. What have we learned?Scout.com: What we've learned
Any time you are in a rebuilding process there are going to be moments when things don't come together as planned. The blocks for the foundation suddenly don't line up, or the paneling for the walls turns out to be the wrong color, or the wiring has to be re-done because it doesn't meet code. Ups and downs are part of the journey when turning over the roster of a football team. On a muggy summer Saturday night at Dolphin Stadium, the Chiefs did not enjoy an up. It was a downer all the way in losing to the Miami Dolphins 24-0.Kansas City Chiefs - A Step Backward

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
The big event this weekend in Toledo is the Glass City Marathon.
But on Saturday, there was a smaller race for kids.
It was called "Team Eight" and took place at the University of Toledo Glass Bowl.
"Team Eight" is a group of 26 eight year olds who each ran a one mile lap around the Glass Bowl.
It was held in memory of eight year old Martin Richard who was killed during the Boston Marathon bombings.
"I think it sends out the message we won't back down. Going to come back and be stronger, finish it, do it. Who better to push that message than little kids," said parent Veronica Mora.
Here's the math.
26 kids ran one mile each.
That means they collectively ran a marathon.
"This is an honor and tiring too," said Celina Mora.
"I do a lot of cross country running, soccer and sports," added Casey Baumhower.
"Team Eight" was organized by Jeremy Baumhower, who says the event is a symbol of support and unity to Martin's family and the city of Boston from the city of Toledo.
He's a father of four who was touched by the story of Martin.
"I wanted to remind the world and everybody in our country how much of a heart Toledo has. Sometimes we're worried about the smaller things here. Nobody remembers how big a heart Toledo has," said Mr. Baumhower.
Mr. Baumhower says $1,000 was raised and will be sent to Martin's family in Boston.
