Effective June 18, 2013, ITServices will be discontinuing dial-up service. Over the years, the use of dial-up service has been declining and there are an increasing number of alternate service providers available in the local area. This change will enable ITServices to realign resources toward more value added service offerings.
ITServices recently completed an internal strategic planning process. The decision to discontinue dial-up service aligns with one of the core strategies in regards to technology included in the ITServices' Strategic Plan 2013-17 (released in March of 2013):
As technological change continues apace, the department must respond with new initiatives, policies, approaches, applications and services ... ITServices must take the initiative to encourage users to give up old, inefficient/support-draining technologies, finding a balance between the useful and cost-efficient lifecycle of services vis à vis the demands and preferences of campus users.
The Strategic Plan identifies that ITServices would benefit from focusing on the specialized services we provide to the Queen's Community—delivering added value for our clients.
Users of dial-up service over the past year will be contacted directly to advise them that this service is being discontinued. While dial-up will no longer be available through Queen's, contact information for alternate service providers is available on the ITServices website. Those interested in replacing their Queen's dial-up service are advised to contact alternate service providers directly for details regarding their service offerings.

Demons In Our Midst
As Halloween approaches this year, people have begun to put out their ghoulish decorations, prepare their hellish costumes and stay up to the wee hours of the morning watching the myriad of horror movies that seem to play on a constant loop. Seeing all of this ghoulish delight, I'm reminded of tales of true devils from our not so distant past.
Charles "Big Phil the Cannibal" Gardner, a mountain man, was said to have come from the mountains of Pennsylvania and headed to Colorado to make his fortune in the Rockies. He was a gigantic man with a repulsive demeanor and a lover of raw meat. He would consume so much raw beef at a sitting that the Arapahoe Indians often referred to him as "Big Mouth." His devilish story tells the tale of a man who was sent by military representatives to Fort Laramie with dispatches. While on the trail, with his Indian guide, they were caught in a brutal snowstorm. After several days passed and there was no sign of Phil or his guide at Fort Laramie he was presumed dead. Then, one day, he was seen outside of the fort lugging something over his shoulder. When approached and questioned by the men at the fort as to where his Indian guide was he replied, "That is all that's left of him," and tossed down a severed bloody leg. Gardner went on to freely admit to eating the flesh of at least two Indians and one Frenchman. In myth, many Native American cultures, especially the Algonquin Indian tribes, believed that once a man turned to cannibalism by eating the flesh of another man they became a Wendigo. This Wendigo was a ghoul that stole the essence of a man by consuming his flesh. Some believed that this creature, that could act as and resemble a man, possessed the ability to move like a phantom amongst the living. Perhaps Big Phil was truly a Wendigo in disguise.
Before the world was ever exposed to the likes of Charles Manson and Jeffery Dahmer the Old West hosted some of the country's first serial killers. A family of serial killers, known as the Bloody Benders, owned an inn and small general store in Labette County of southeastern Kansas from 1871 to 1873. The family consisted of John Bender, his wife Mrs. Bender (later referred to as Kate, Sr., since no one knew her given name), son John, Jr., and daughter Kate. They are believed to have killed about a dozen travelers hiding their bodies in a trap door, stealing their belongings and eventually burying them in graves on the Bender property. When their crimes were discovered the family fled and they were never heard from again.
Checkout pictures of real killers here. And if you're more into movies, checkout Ravenous, in the library's catalog. It stars Guy Pierce and Robert Carlyle and is a wonderful tale of the Wendigo myth, loosely based on the famous true stories of the Donner Party and Colorado Cannibals Alferd Packer and "Big Mouth" Phil.
Sweet blog, please do more
Sweet blog, please do more like this really got me in the mood for all things scary.

Thanks! I'll try and cook up another true ghoulish tale next week. Just in time for Halloween.

You know, for some more fun reading, people should check out one of my old favorites: "Boulder County, Colorado, Deaths and the Insane 1859-1900" G929.378863 M248bo
Here's a sample of one of the many fascinating and grim stories: "Hunter, Andrew declared insane 26 Feb 1896. Had tried to blow up house in which wife lived in Longmont some time ago... He had been "laboring under the impression for the last month that he was driving sheep in the jail. He would talk to them, feed them, lead them up to drink, etc." He was driving the sheep to California." (Boulder News)
Another: Mrs. Dr. U. Perry was brought to jail wildly insane 23 July 1890. A neighbor complained, said she was a victim of religious study. (Boulder News)
One more: John McGregor was declared insane 11 June 1900. He states that he was three feet tall at birth "and that he immediately waited on his mother by giving her medicine and that he had trunks and trunks full of $1,000 dollar bills." Age 43. (Boulder County Herald Weekly)

The Continentals compete in NESCAC, New York State Collegiate Track Conference (NYSCTC) and NCAA Atlantic Regional championship races. Hamilton will host three races on campus in 2013 -- a short-course meet on Sept. 14, the Continentals' own annual invitational on Oct. 12 and the NYSCTC championships two weeks later. The 2013 NCAA Division III championships will be held in Hanover, Ind., on Nov. 23.
National champion Peter Kosgei '11 has graduated, but his legacy will live on for several years. Kosgei finished first at the 2008 NCAA championships and was later named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) men's athlete of the year. He ended up with three All-America awards, including his last in 2010 when he finished sixth at the NCAA meet. He was all-region four times and the USTFCCCA Atlantic Region men's athlete of the year on three occasions after he finished first at the NCAA Atlantic Region championships. He is the only cross country athlete to capture the NESCAC most outstanding performer award four times. Kosgei was the NYSCTC runner of the year after he won the conference championship race in 2007 and 2008, and holds Hamilton's 8-kilometer course record with a time of 24:39.9. And then there was the 2009 Lehigh University Invitational in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Competing against a field dominated by athletes from Divisions I and II, Kosgei unleashed a program-record time of 23:42 and finished in the top five.
On Nov. 22, 2008, it took Kosgei just 24 minutes, 22 seconds to race into the Hamilton record books. Kosgei finished first at the NCAA championships in Hanover, Indiana, and claimed the first national title in program history. His 10-second victory capped a remarkable season in which he won all nine races and set the Hamilton course record.
Hashem Zikry '13 and James Grebey '12 were two of the program's top runners the last two years. Zikry earned a spot on the NYSCTC all-conference team in 2011 and 2012. He made the first team last year after he finished in the top seven at the conference championships. Grebey picked up NYSCTC first-team honors in 2011.
The program boasts a tradition of excellence that dates back almost 60 years. Andy Bartlett '89 and Phil Sanderson '90 led Hamilton to a NESCAC title in 1988, and both competed in the NCAA championships twice. Bruce Carter '76 and Jon Schmeyer '77 qualified for the 1975 NCAA championship at Brandeis University. Carter was the state and NESCAC champion in 1975, and Schmeyer earned All-America honors by finishing 15th at the NCAA meet. Carter, who also captured the NYSCTC individual title in 1974, ended up in 36th place at nationals. Al Shaler '57 claimed the first-ever NYSCTC individual title back in 1954.
Seven Hamilton men's runners have qualified as individuals for the national championships. The entire team competed at the 1971 NCAA meet under the direction of legendary head coach Gene Long. Long led the cross country and track & field programs from 1953 to 1991. He guided the Continentals to NYSCTC titles in 1957, 1958, 1971 and 1975.
Exceptional academic performance is another important part of this program. No fewer than four student-athletes made the 2012 NESCAC Fall All-Academic Team. Each honoree has a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.35 and must have reached sophomore academic standing. Zikry was selected to the 2013 Division III Academic All-District Men's Track & Field/Cross Country Team for District 3 by the College Sports Information Directors of America. Hamilton received a USTFCCCA all-academic team award for the fourth straight year in 2011. Keith Gross '09 was elected to the Epsilon chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, which is the nation's oldest honor society, in 2009.

win or lose...i have to give this man his props. apparently he didn't know about the catchweight. his promoter asked for it...and ggg's camp agreed to it. rosado said it wasn't necessary and basically took a page from the old school and said he'd fight ggg at his weight out of respect for boxing and the champion!!! plus...he didn't want any excuses about the 2lbs "when he wins." man i love this kids' confidence!!!!
i cannot wait for this fight. he's got me second guessing my initial prediction with this move. reading the article on the front page...i still felt they're making a mistake. it's apparent to me they really don't know who ggg is...and his trainer said they only started viewing tape of him since the fight was signed. i think they're biting off way more than this kid can chew. maybe they see something i don't? in any case...this kid just showed his balls to the world with this move. good for him! more fighters should take note.
on the flip side...u don't hear ggg talking about 'who is gabriel rosado?' or any bullshit like...'this kid isn't worthy...' or 'i wanna fight the best in the division, blah,blah,blah.' i hope ppl are taking note. this is how it's done.

bald tires period! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) i just put some new tires on my hooptie...what a difference that makes! feel like i'm driving a porsche now!
Tell me about it! In this case, Rosado's new tires will hopefully be a decent chin in this fight. If not, then we're back to the bald tires metaphor.
While Im happy for his stance, I think this is a huge opportunity passed up. That said if this SOB pulls this off, he may become a new favorite fighter to watch lol. Well maybe not that serious but I will pay a lot more attn to him.
Couldn't have said it better myself. For some reason, Rosado has this secret level of confidence, as if he has a perfect game plan for this fight. With that in mind, that makes the fight much more interesting!

Skilled mediators intervene when two opposing parties cannot come to an agreement. The mediator's task is to bring certain skills to the table that employ conflict resolution, skills the two parties may not be as adept at using.
Probably the most important part in bringing two parties together is the degree of willingness each side has to take responsibility for the failure that brought the mediator along in the first place. Each side must be willing to accept fault. If this does not happen, it is almost impossible for the mediator to bring the parties together. Sharing blame is vital. Usually, each conflicting party creates circumstances that are so unacceptable to the other that resolution becomes impossible, trust is lost, and stalemate occurs.
Sounds like what goes on in the U.S. government.
Taking responsibility sounds easy, but is it very difficult because human beings seldom want to be seen as losing face. Our leaders do not want to be seen as having "lost.'' Thus, we see machinations occur wherein both parties to a conflict try to make a deal appear as if they have won the conflict. When I was a teacher, conflict resolution was probably the most difficult concept to teach, not just to children but even harder to teach to teenagers.
But what happens when one side in a conflict feels so threatened by the other that resolution is impossible? Sometimes one party believes its very existence is imperiled by the other side. When countries do this dance, a war of words begins. Sometimes the only thing preventing the use of force is that so many innocent people will die. Ultimately, however, this is what happens. This scenario has been playing out between Israel and its neighbors for decades, with no end in sight.
In the past decade, the U.S. Congress, Senate, and presidency have become polarized: Republicans blame Democrats and vice versa. It is staggering how often stalemate occurs in Washington. Naturally, unscrupulous politicians use that stalemate as a rallying cry for their own campaign, rather than offering ways to break the logjam. It is simply too convenient just to blame the other side without offering a broader view. It doesn't happen just in Washington. It happens in state governments and communities like Haverhill. It took years, for example, just to agree on parking solutions in this city.
We expect that our leaders are a cut above the rest of us. We expect them to be deliberate, contemplative, intellectual, respectful, compassionate and understanding. These qualities are not easy to come by, though we all agree on them and most of us like to think we hold these qualities. All we have to do is look around in our neighborhoods or take a look across the street to realize that we don't hold these qualities. It is, for example, not unusual for neighbors to be disrespectful, anti-intellectual, impulsive, unfriendly and selfish. Can we now understand why our elected leaders are the same way? Just take a look at how awful the Republican candidates are to each other and watch how ugly the presidential campaign will be.
Our collective hope, usually, is that cooler heads prevail to resolve conflict. Again, this will not happen when one side feels so threatened that "winning'' their way is the only solution. This misses a very important concept: The "either/or'' scenario is wrong. There are usually multiple ways to solve a problem without one side believing the other must have their way.
What our government has done too often is delay a decision because extremes found on the edge of political parties pull their leaders in a certain direction. Washington delays solving debt problems because partisans want it all. Votes are put off. This also happened with the payroll tax cut. In fact, most leaders will tell you nothing will be resolved till election time. My goodness! That's nearly a year away! Like waiting for money willed to be released from probate, we must sit on our hands while problems fester that we need to pay for.
It is only the very noblest of leaders who stand up to the extremes in their own political parties and know when to say "yes'' and "no'' regardless of how many votes it will cost.
If conflict is going to be resolved, both parties must understand they will not get their way totally. This has happened clearly in the case of abortion, for example. The extreme Christian right embedded in the Republican Party wants a constitutional amendment banning abortion, making it a criminal act, stripping doctors of medical licenses, putting them in jail. In the very extreme right, it has been suggested doctors receive capital punishment.
On the Democratic fringe are those who do not believe in parental notification under any circumstances. We need a parent's permission to pull a tooth. Are we not going to inform a parent that their 14-year-old daughter is pregnant and wants an abortion? Late-term abortions, a particularly big issue, took center stage when Democratic leaders balked.
Eventually, level headed leaders reached compromise. Democrats want abortion to remain safe, legal, and accessible. Republican leaders wanted certain abortions stopped, as well as parental notification to be required. Each side gave something up. Each side got something it wanted. An eye was kept on what the public wanted.
If leaders could agree on something as touchy as abortion, surely they can come to terms with deficit reduction, wasteful military expenditure, or privatizing Social Security.
However, many are doubtful any sort of consensus can be reached anymore since the partisan bickering has gone on too long. Partisans say nasty things. Partisans are unwilling to apologize. Stalemate, thus, continues.
Solutions? There are some. Current leaders need to do all they can to influence the best and brightest among us to take positions of leadership. These are the people who should be offered leadership positions. John Huntsman is a perfect example of the best and brightest. There are many senators and representatives who are of the same character.
Countless journalists and community activists also fit this mold.
People who want positions of leadership must not spend the greater part of their time with ad hominem attacks. Can you imagine that evangelical Christians and Christian fundamentalists are uncomfortable with Mitt Romney for one reason: His religion. The very last thing leaders should be attacking is the other's religion. As Joe Friday would say in the old "Dragnet'' TV series, "Just the facts, ma'am."
I am not optimistic. I see some of the worst minds vying for positions of leadership nationwide, not simply for president. In fact, today "hayseediana'' is almost a virtue — let's see how stupid we can act and talk in order not to appear too smart. How well I remember looking at local leaflets with those looking for leadership positions using qualifications like "Married with 4 children,'' "Little League Board of Directors,'' "PTA Volunteer'' or "Soccer Mom.''
Here's what we should be looking for in our leaders: People with managerial experience, people with graduate degrees in related fields, people who are well traveled with a wide perspective, people who have served in international volunteer programs. Our Congress has increasingly been gaining members without any background in these areas. In fact, we are dumbing down our Congress and then ask why these people appear so inept.
What happens to our country is not because of some anthropomorphic cosmic godlike force. What happens to our country is because of us.

Corporate migration to Windows 7 may be less about evaluating the new Microsoft operating system and more about how to properly gauge the correct time to get XP off client desktops.
The equation corporate IT pros will have to figure out is how long it will take to get all their XP desktops to Windows 7 before XP support runs out or before application vendors quit producing XP versions of upgrades or new software, which some predict could come as early as 2012.
[ Microsoft this month told companies to kill Vista plans if switching to Windows 7 won't delay things too long. | Preparing for Windows 7? Get the overview you need in the Windows 7 PDF Report from InfoWorld's J. Peter Bruzzese. | And download our free Windows performance-monitoring tool. ]
Windows 7 is the shiny new operating system from Microsoft slated to arrive this fall to replace Windows Vista, which after 30 months has failed in the eyes of IT buyers.
Windows 7 offers a host of tantalizing corporate features such as AppLocker, DirectAccess, Branch Cache, and XP Mode, a virtualization technology that should buy time for users who migrate but must hold on to key legacy applications.
Gartner predicts that more than half of the corporate Windows user-base is skipping Vista and aiming at Windows 7. While that means XP users won't have to tangle with Vista in name, it doesn't mean they will avoid the application compatibility issues that gave Vista a black eye right out of the blocks in November 2006. Windows 7 is built on the Vista code base.
"If you are on XP, Windows 7 isn't going to solve a lot of Vista's migration problems," says Brett Waldman, a research analyst for IDC. "Going from Vista to Windows 7 should be a much easier transition than XP to 7."
Users who have deployed Vista have an easier path because Microsoft provides an upgrade option not available to XP users, and because they have already solved their application compatibility issues.
Microsoft says nearly all applications that run on Vista will run on Windows 7 and early testing by users is beginning to validate that claim.
In addition, hardware upgrades made for Vista are relevant for Windows 7 rollouts.
While those rollouts won't be painless for Vista converts, it is those on the XP side who will have to tap into their planning and organizational skills.
The XP equation
The predominant migration questions among those coming off XP are "when" and "how."
"What we are saying is that by the end of 2012 you should be off XP," says Michael Silver, vice president and research director at Gartner. With most large corporations taking 12 to 18 months to test and pilot a new operating system, the migration clock is ticking.
"If I target the end of 2012 to get XP out then you have your migration window," he says. "Organizations really need to be poised to do a lot of migrations on new machines and some existing ones in 2011 and 2012. That will be the mainstream of the migrations."

Rachael Siefert, 28, who works at a communications firm in Washington, is also an instructor at the Bar Method, a downtown fitness studio. And she's gradually figured out how to blend her two wardrobes. It started when she tried pairing her black workout pants with a skirt and boots one day in the office. "Every woman hates wearing tights, so I went for it," Siefert says. "Nobody noticed."
The switch has made her more comfortable — and productive — when she's at work. It's also made her more likely to pop over to the studio to take a lunchtime class. "I only have that hour. Work will notice if I'm gone for longer than that," says Siefert, who saves time by only changing her top. "It's one less step stopping you from working out."
Increasingly, she's found out that other women are using the same technique, or sneaking a workout top under a sweater. So maybe Workout Wear Friday is already happening in secret.
To really launch this movement, however, I need to find a company that will publicly get on board. For Casual Friday, Miller says, the tipping point was Alcoa, the strait-laced corporation in Pittsburgh. "Then 90 of the Fortune 100 companies requested information," Miller says.
And someone in The Post's HR told me the company would have to check to see whether there are potential liability issues. So I'm thinking I could do better with 1776, the business incubator space across the street from our offices.
There's no official dress code, and casual clothes are already common, says community manager Kate Nolan. And because of the start-up culture, "it's always acceptable to wear a T-shirt with a logo on it," she adds.
So would they try Workout Wear Friday? "I feel like we could. We've talked about a pajama day," Nolan says.
Let's save that idea for 2015, when we'll consider whether Sleepwear Mondays could help improve our nation's shut-eye quality.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Two teams emerged victorious from this week's School of the Future Design Competition, which challenges students to imagine and design environmentally friendly schools.
The competition, which saw proposals for schools under sand dunes, on landfills and in Africa, was the centerpiece of the Council of Educational Facility Planners International School Building Week.
The Awards of Excellence went to Imago Dei Middle School of Tucson, Ariz., and Teeland Middle School of Wasilla, Alaska. Meanwhile, the Award of Distinction was given to Highfield Humanities College of Blackpool, Lancashire, U.K., and Awards of Merit went to Newtown Middle School of Newtown, Conn.; Seneca Middle School of Macomb, Mich.; and University Middle School of Waco, Texas.
"Facing a formidable 22-person jury would be a daunting experience for most adults, but these students took them on without a moment's hesitation," said David C. Edwards, Council of Educational Facility Planners' board chairman. "The students continue to raise the bar each year in the rigorous competition. This year's submissions epitomized project-based learning and demonstrated a deep understanding of the planning process and creating a sustainable future."

The annual competition aims to strengthen public awareness of the importance of well-planned, sustainable school buildings that enhance student and teacher performance and contribute to community culture and vitality. It is sponsored by the council and the National Association of Realtors in collaboration with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the American Institute of Architects, the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association and more than 20 other associations and private companies.
"Schools that foster student achievement, conserve resources and enhance the surrounding community are vital to every neighborhood nationwide," said Moe Veissi, president of the National Association of Realtors. "Realtors care deeply about improving communities and these creative designs produced by six outstanding teams of middle school students do just that."
Imago Dei and Teeland middle schools each received $2,000 as the top winners. Students from the former designed a school for children in Niger, a landlocked country in West Africa, with "polybricks" made from plastic water bottles and bamboo walls to repel malaria-carrying mosquitoes. The building would also be powered by solar energy and use shade sails of woven bamboo to offer relief from the extreme heat.
Using the same materials, the students also designed a portable school to bring to communities whose children cannot travel to the main school.
Members of the Teeland Middle School team imagined a facility for an unusual site: a landfill. They proposed creating walls from materials mined from the landfill and covering them with solar wallpaper. The main cement building would be built with carbon nanotubes, one of the strongest available materials synthesized from carbon-rich compounds such as plastic, which act as rebar. In addition, its roofs would collect stormwater and insulate, and food would be grown on campus. Another school building built to withstand the strong Alaskan winds would house the homeless and provide education, career guidance, use of community facilities and three meals a day.
Highfield Humanities College received $1,500 for its Award of Distinction. Coming from a seaside resort community in northwest England, the students designed a building inside a sand dune on the waterfront with the hope it would encourage tourism and boost the local economy. Its glass facade would be built to withstand the pressure of the waves, so students could observe sea life when high tide covers the building. In addition, the building would be powered by renewable energies like wind and wave power. Dormitory space in the rear of the building would accommodate students, community members and tourists.
As recipients of the Award of Merit, Newtown, Seneca and University middle schools each received $1,000. Newtown's campus would house all its district's schools and encompass two community gardens, a rooftop and an orchard. The traditional buildings include solar panels and geothermal heating and cooling, and the classrooms would be equipped with "aerobic ball" seating for easy exercise.
The Seneca team proposed to repurpose Henry Ford's old factory site, a community icon, in an effort to bring the surrounding impoverished neighborhood to the school. Low-cost housing would be provided on-campus for families with school-age children, who would have access to work on the campus and 24-hour use of the facilities. Harkening back to the old Ford days, each class level "house" would be named after a famous Ford car.
Finally, the design team from University Middle School placed the main body of its school underground. The school is currently located on a major highway, which makes for a danger to children as well as a noisy classroom environment. By placing the gym and performing arts on the side facing the highway, the team would shield the interior classrooms from noise.
Administrative offices and community space would occupy the above ground floor. The design also includes an atrium and light wells to provide daylight to the "underground" school, and white roofs, geothermal heating and cooling to stabilize temperatures at a relatively low cost.
"Chairing the jury affords me one of the best days of the year," said David Schrader, a board member of Council of Educational Facility Planners International. "As we watched the presentations, it was clear that no matter how knowledgeable and talented each of the jury members were, the children's message, knowledge, passion and enthusiasm humbled each and every one of us. This remarkable day left us all aware that these students truly represent tomorrow's leaders and our future is in good hands."

The trick here is you have to realize that optical designers can do very funny things with focal length, like making an 800mm lens that's only 461mm long, or "retrofocusing" design with an effective focal length that exists entirely outside the lens.
The "focal length divided by aperture" rule is true, but the definition of focal length is more than meets the eye.
I'm sure the video guys here would point out we would all be better off using T-stop anyway.
The word "telephoto" indicates that a lens' focal length is longer than it's physical length. So a 135L is a telephoto lens, but a 85L isn't. Many photographer's assume that a "tele" indicates a longer focal length, but it doesn't. It is possible to have a fairly wide telephoto lens.
I learnt something today. So the 40mm pancake is in fact a telephoto lens. Who knew?
Yup! While the 50mm f1.4 USM isn't a telephoto either!

The Pentagon is canceling a well-loved international Air Force competition at Joint Base Lewis-McChord this summer, grounding the air mobility "rodeo" to save money.
About 20 air crews from a dozen nations were scheduled to visit McChord Air Field this July. In recent years, teams from as far as Germany, Israel and Pakistan flew in to practice with local airmen who operate C-17 cargo jets.
Air Mobility Command commander Gen. Paul Selva cited budget uncertainty at the Pentagon in describing his decision to cancel the rodeo. The Defense Department is carrying out $50 billion in forced budget cuts this year because of Congress' failure to avert the so-called sequester.
"We'll get back to holding rodeos as soon as we can," Selva said.
It's not a surprise that the Air Force is pulling back on the every-other-year event. It announced last month that its famous Thunderbirds demonstration team would not participate in air shows this year. They visited Lewis-McChord for an air show last summer that drew more than 150,000 spectators.
Rodeos have been canceled in the past because of wartime needs after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and because of budget shortfalls in 1988.
The rodeo is less visible to the public than the air show – the two events alternate years at McChord – but airmen eagerly anticipate the rodeo. It gives them a chance to meet peers from around the world as they demonstrate skills in air drops and timed tests.
Lt. Col. Patrick Kearney of McChord's 446th Reserve Air Lift Wing remembers learning from air mobility rodeos in the 1980s. Those competitions shaped his career as a navigator, he said. He went on to win rodeo contests in subsequent years.
"When it's done, you're exhausted," he said. "Everybody who comes – even if you lose – you go away with a great experience."
Kearney has had a hand in planning recent rodeo competitions at McChord. He fondly remembers the 2005 event that brought Pakistan for the first time. Its crew arrived with a "beat-up" C-130 that required work to keep in the air.
"Everybody pitched in to make sure that aircraft was flyable," he said.
The Pakistani crews learned much from their international peers and put the experience to work that year delivering emergency supplies to victims of a devastating earthquake in their country, Kearney said.
Participating crews gather at night in a "tent city" at McChord where they play games and relax together.
No matter what flag they fly under, "air crews are air crews, and they have an affinity for each other," Kearney said.
Rep. Adam Smith, D-Bellevue, called the decision to cancel the rodeo an "example of how the fiscal uncertainty and across-the-board cuts of sequestration are negatively impacting Washington state."
"It's very disappointing that this training event has been canceled, but I understand the decision since mission-essential requirements are prioritized over events like these," said Smith, formerly of Tacoma and the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee.Adam Ashton: 253-597-8646 adam.ashton@ thenewstribune.com blog.thenewstribune.com/military

[review based on CD edition, not GOG's release]
The first thing most will notice in the Underworld series is the blocky graphics and limited view. The next thing they'll notice is old-style MIDI music and limited sound effects. Finally, they'll run into an early System Shock-style interface in which the best control scheme uses keyboard for movement and turning, while the mouseread more pointer moves freely around the view area. It's tricky to master.
Beneath lie two of the greatest first-person RPGs ever created. It's all here. Large, hand-crafted levels. Complicated stories involving 5 or more factions. Random encounters. Creatures that respond to your actions; taking someone's food or money will usually get you into a fight, and so will poking around in rooms where you shouldn't be. Freeform gameplay that allows you to help or dispatch nearly every character in the game. Food, weight limits, degradable gear, the works. Items that can be combined in countless useful and useless ways. Rune-based magic that requires collecting runes and then combining them in various documented and undocumented ways. Stats and skills. Multiple-choice conversations with occasional typing for puzzle purposes. Flying "scry" camera spell that can see through walls. Teleportation. Annotated automaps. Secret doors requiring lockpick and perception skills. Huge rewards for careful exploration.
More than anything, these games ooze atmosphere. The first takes place deep in a colonized volcano. Except for the prologue and the magic runes, it has very little relation to the Ultima series. But it stands perfectly well on its own. Early survival may be challenging. Finding food, supplies, and fighting equipment is a frequent requirement. If you can locate the first human settlement, you should be able to master the rest of the game. Levels often combine a trapped, oppressive feeling with quiet, peaceful exploration. Despite the dungeon setting, every level is carefully hand-crafted and has its own theme. Players may get lost enough within levels to pull up the automap, but they probably won't mistake one level for another.
The second game is Ultima through and through. It takes place between Ultima 7 parts 1 & 2 and features many familiar characters. It's probably a little easier to get into than UW1, since you get more of a base of operations right at the start. There's great diversity in locations as you jump from world to world from the central hub. A tall goblin-infested tower, a haunted mausoleum, and a deserted wizard training ground are three of the more mundane; others are truly exotic, bending reality as far as the game engine allows.
Despite the differences, both of these games feature gradually unfolding plots that build up to exciting conclusions. Discovering all the twists and turns of the plots is as interesting as discovering new areas of the various dungeons.
Combat is challenging early on. For best results, don't try to dish out your blows without moving. Approach, strike, fall back, repeat. Even the game's best armor won't protect you enough if you just stand there.
A modern interface and a few refinements would make the UW series truly timeless for a mass audience. But the UW games are already all-time classics. If you enjoy first-person RPG exploration and have any patience at all, don't miss these titles.

Ultima Underworld 2, even nowadays, still tops my all - time favourite CRPG list (along with Ultima VII and Planescape: Torment) : it improves the first episode on every aspect, and it also ties-in more with the main Ultima storyline, unlike UW1. Immersion and general atmosphere are simply superb, probably its strongest points; finally, great gameplay and soudtrack, as well. Thank you, GOG :)

Though branching out from their typical 3/4 birds-eye view rpg/adventure that's known to us older gamers as Ultima, this First-Person dungeon crawler is still just as fun, and brings a difference to the way you know Britannia. The first one takes place in the Stygian Abyss (as the name implies), a dungeon that's supposed to be the be-all-end-all of dungeons in the Britannian world,read more you must make your way through down through it's depths and rescue the damsel, clear your name (although since you are the Avatar it shouldn't have even come into question - but I digress) and set the world to rights yet again. Ultima Underworld II takes place during the time of the Fellowship, when an otherworldly, inter-dimensional entity known only as The Guardian is vying for world domination and conquest. Trapping you and some of your cohorts (introduced in preceding 'Ultima' games, again you must steel yourself to the challenge and find a way to free the castle's occupants from the "dome" (kind of Stephen King-esque, if you've read his book), and thwart The Guardian's plans yet again. If you've never experienced the world that is "Ultima," or if you like FPS, this game is set to keep you entertained for many, many hours. Go on. You're the Avatar, and everyone's crying for you to save them... AGAIN.

Australia/New Zealand Cruise Basics
Australia & New Zealand
> Australia/New Zealand Cruise Basics
Australia is regularly voted one of the world's top cruise destinations. Why? Some say it's the sunny weather, oversupply of beaches and the eye-candy that goes with it, while those with more mature visions suggest it could be
's scenic harbor and its iconic features.
The brochures you see on the travel agent racks will most likely feature Sydney, with the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge, as the epicenter of cruising, but there are actually numerous ports, large and small, around the country that cater to full-sized cruise ships.
Australia is a lot more than just Sydney -- and even cruising. Coastal cruises will visit these major port cities and open up opportunities to venture inland to visit local attractions like wineries, national parks, tourist attractions and shopping precincts. Beyond the cities, there are vast mountain ranges, UNESCO World Heritage natural and historic sites, cultural and indigenous attractions, plus a world of fun for both adrenaline types and more sedate muses.
Hence, it is quite feasible to begin or end a cruise at any of these ports, linking your vacation to a land tour extension. Let's face it: Australia is a long way away for most folks, so why not make full use of your time Down Under with an outback tour to Uluru or Alice Springs?
Furthermore, Australia has one of the safest, most efficient airline networks in the world, generally very good roads, excellent healthcare, emergency and hospital facilities and is rated by numerous authorities as "low risk" and among the safest destinations for travel.
New Zealand, on the other hand, is an entirely different country, both geologically and culturally. Sure, the Aussies and Kiwis enjoy a healthy sibling rivalry on the sporting field, but New Zealand has its own distinct offerings that cannot be compared to Australia in any way. The Maori culture is one of the strongest in all of Polynesia, and any visit to New Zealand is not complete without a taste of their impressive civilization.
If you've seen the breathtaking, sweeping vistas portrayed in blockbuster movies like "Lord of the Rings" and TV series like "Xena: Warrior Princess," you won't be disappointed; this is where they were filmed.
Who Goes There?
Just about every cruise line visits Australia at least occasionally with the major players regularly sailing Down Under.
P&O Australia
is the local mainstream cruise line, catering to Australian cruisers with cruises mainly from Sydney. The line has more recently been joined by fellow Carnival Corp. brands
Holland America Line
has even been offering some round-Australia options.
Sister lines
Royal Caribbean
have long offered cruises Down Under, but 2013 will be the first season where the lines have based vessels in Australia for the entire so-called Wave Season (January-March). The sister lines are also sending larger, newer ships than before --
Voyager of the Seas
and --
Celebrity Solstice
, for example.
Australians also have a passion for small-ship and adventure cruising, and domestic brands Orion, CoralPrincess, North Star and Captain Cook regularly visit remote regions like the Great Barrier Reef, the Kimberley (in the far North West), Cape York and Top End. These lines also sail for and within nearby destinations like Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and the Melanesian islands.
Compare Australia cruises
Choosing an Itinerary
Destinations for most cruises departing Australia are almost entirely one variation or another on nearby international ports like
(New Caledonia), Port Vila (Vanuatu), Port Denarau (Fiji) or like
(New Zealand) with a few occasionally venturing as far as
(Samoa) or Nuku'alofa (Tonga). Of cruises that do not visit international ports, most head north toward the ample sun and sand of Queensland, visiting such ports as Newcastle,
and perhaps
. Most of the itineraries depart Sydney, but
and Brisbane also feature local stalwart P&O, whose ships venture down to Tasmania and across to
. For locals, the choice of both vessel and destination is expanding rapidly. For visitors, cruising in Australia presents three basic options: to, from and within.
South Pacific Islands:
One of the most popular local choices is a cruise to or from a homeport, most commonly Sydney but also increasingly Brisbane and Melbourne, where P&O's domestic fleet of
Pacific Pearl
dominate. Traditionally, the well-worn route pioneered by P&O across the Tasman to the South Pacific included Fiji, Noumea, Auckland and Port Vila, but it has been progressively expanded to include all of New Zealand, more of Vanuatu and New Caledonia, some of Samoa and occasional forays as far as French Polynesia and
. Norfolk Island also desperately wants to get in on the action but is hampered by difficult shore access, despite a purpose-built, movable wharf.
Great Barrier Reef:
Cruises through the world-famous coral reef are popular, but if you want a true "Finding Nemo" experience, you'll need to spend a bit more time ashore at one of the ports like Townsville or Cairns. Big-ship cruises along the Queensland coast will offer day-trip opportunities for reef-snorkeling and diving, but small-ship operator Coral Princess offers the most immersive overnight experience.
Circumnavigation of Australia:
In recent years, both Princess and Cunard have offered complete circumnavigations. These sell out well in advance, as they present a superb opportunity to see every port in the country.
Kimberley and Australia's Northwest:
This spectacular part of the country is no longer a best-kept secret after its global exposure in the movie "Australia." Big ships will swing by as part of a circumnavigation, but for a comprehensive exploration, you'll need to get aboard one of the expedition vessels.
Expedition and Small-Ship Options:
With Australia's vast coastline, there are numerous operators offering small-ship explorations to such locations as the Kimberley, Cape York, Top End and Murray River. Premium pricing and limited capacity keep numbers low, but the demand continues to grow, with increasing numbers of adventurous foreign visitors opting for these exclusive itineraries.
New Zealand:
Now a destination and discreet cruise market in itself, the Land of the Long White Cloud is a much-favored cruise destination for Australians and presents a perfect excuse for overseas visitors to get aboard a spectacular cruise. Sydney-to-Sydney with a semi-circumnavigation of NZ is a superb itinerary, and you can find some cruises that add a few Australian ports into the New Zealand itinerary.
Papua New Guinea
: For big-ship fans, P&O's return to Papua New Guinea in 2013 will reopen a nostalgic destination for the 175-year-old line, but for those wanting a more intimate "small footprint" experience, Orion, Coral Princess and North Star all deliver exceptional expedition products.
Find Australia and New Zealand itineraries
Best Time to Go
Australia can be considered an all-season, year-round cruise destination, although the so-called "Wave Season" (mid-December to mid-March) is when Aussies go cruise-crazy, and you'll find the greatest choice of departures, vessels and itineraries. While winters (June to August) in the southern states can be chilly, you won't need snowshoes or thermal undies. Summers (December through February) can be hot -- darned hot -- so if you're visiting over the Christmas period, be prepared with wide-brimmed hats, sunscreen and water bottles for those days when temperatures get into the 30's Celsius (high 80's and 90's Fahrenheit). Summer is also a standard holiday period for families, so expect crowds around major attractions.
Port Highlights
: This historic and beautiful port was first settled by British convicts and their overseers in 1788 after identification by Captain Cook as a possible safe anchorage 10 years prior. As such, the downtown precinct immediately around the Overseas Passenger Terminal in The Rocks makes for a fascinating exploration, easily done independently on foot. Stroll across the Harbour Bridge (or climb it), visit the Opera House, meander through the gorgeous Botanic Gardens or, if time permits, take an inexpensive ferry down the harbor to Manly. Major department stores, swanky restaurants, quaint pubs and designer shops are a just a stone's throw away. Beyond the immediate port district and city, organized (full-day) shore tours can take you as far as the scenic, UNESCO-listed Blue Mountains or even the famous 4,000-acre Hunter Valley wine district for some "tipple and tucker."
: Australia's second-most populous city is proud of its non-convict heritage and therefore conducts itself with an air of cultural superiority -- or at least that's what Sydneysiders say! Its proud sporting history includes the vast Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) and the picturesque Albert Park Grand Prix circuit. Much urban renewal has taken place around the port area, but many of the historic buildings have been preserved and converted for commercial and retail use. A guided or self-guided walk around Flinders Street and Federation Square reveals a quirky, semisecret underground of cool boutiques, cafes, vintage shops and backstreet chic. Away from Melbourne, day-tours are typically offered to Phillip Island, where the delightful Fairy Penguins will entertain you, or to the natural beauty of the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula or Dandenongs Ranges. There is a wealth of gastronomic and winery options at many of these destinations.
: Playfully christened "BrisVegas" by locals and visitors alike, the most northern of the eastern seaboard capitals enjoys a reputation for lively nightlife in a semitropical environment. While all-day and half-day city tours around Brisbane will keep most cruisers busy, there is an option for longer trips to Steve Irwin's famous Australia Zoo or one of the exciting theme parks along the Gold Coast. Natural attractions like Mt. Tamborine and the rainforests of the Canungra Valley are also on offer.
: Described by its larger sibling cities as "a big country town," this city of arts certainly has a more relaxed semirural atmosphere. The port often plays host to vessels transiting between the east and west coasts. Remote Outer Harbour requires a train, bus or taxi to deliver visitors to the city center, where Expansive parks and gardens, museums and art galleries await visitors. Outside of the city, day-trips are easily made to the famous wine districts of the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale.
Fremantle (Perth)
: Although it's the port access for Perth, Fremantle has embraced its maritime roots and become a destination in itself with a pair of superb museums and several quirky pubs and shopping areas to cater to cruise visitors. If you want to get out of Fremantle, tours to Perth can take you to Kings Park, the Zoo, the famous Perth Mint or into the glorious Swan Valley for a "foodie frolic" at the area's wineries, restaurants, breweries and distilleries, as well as local markets. Never swum with wild dolphins? You can do that there, too.
Other cities around Australia currently welcoming large cruise ships include
, Townsville,
, Newcastle and
Across the Tasman
: New Zealand's most populous urban center is a proper maritime city, with many yachts in the harbor. Visitors will find super museums and galleries, great shopping and cuisine, and wonderful wines. Away from the city center, tours head out to the wine-growing district, glow worm caves or coastal sites like the raucous Gannet colony at Muriwai.
: Wellington is New Zealand's capital city. It's a lovely stroll along the waterfront, where several museums, including the magnificent Te Papa, are located near the retail district. Or, head to the hills for a view via the local cable car. Beyond the city is one of the country's most famous wine districts, set among the natural splendor of the Tararua Mountains. A fan of "Lord of the Rings"? Visit the film locations on a dedicated excursion.
Other ports around New Zealand with their own charm and character include:
, where the signature tour includes historic homes, manors and castles;
, which still retains the charm of an English Victorian town; and
, a gateway to the Hawkes Bay wine and food region.

Australia Cruise Tips
Australia is such a vast and multifaceted land, planning time ashore either before or after your cruise is a given. Get to the Outback if you can; it's a whole different world. Maximize your time on the ground by traveling between cities by air. Consider the economical Qantas Walkabout Air Pass for flexibility and value.
Unless you are on a very tight turnaround, take a full-day shore excursion in capital cities where you can. For example, visit the Blue Mountains from Sydney or the Yarra Valley from Melbourne. Private operators are available if you research ahead.
Duty-free shopping aboard Aussie cruise ships is excellent, whereas airports are not the best places to find deals.
If you're longing for an immersive experience on the famous Great Barrier Reef, the larger cruise lines are not fully set up to deliver this in a way to do it justice. Day-cruises out of Cairns or Townsville are better, or book onto one of Australia's small-ship operators like Coral Princess Cruises, which offers comfortable live-aboard itineraries for snorkelers and divers.
For tourist entry into Australia, most European and North American visitors will need to obtain an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA), either online or through a travel agent. It's valid for up to three months. For visa information, go to the Australian Government's
Visa Wizard Web site
. Note that most passengers taking cruises of up to 30 days that leave from and return to Australia are "round trippers," meaning that, for immigration purposes, you have not left the country. For more details, click

Manny will land a big fight between either Rios or Bradley. Each guy will bring interest but each guy will be coming off a major ass beating. Rios is already starting to slur his words and is looking war torn. I know his fight will leave him bloodied and bruised. Bradley just came off a War World III type of fight and I doubt he will ever fully recover from the war he just had. Manny needs to look like Superman and The Hulk in his next fight to regain some momentum with his fans and himself. Both men will be soft targets for him. If Bradley fights Pac the way he fought Ruslan, they fight would be called off in the 6th round (which will be great for Manny). If he fights Rios then we will have an action packed fight for at least 9 to 10 rounds. Rios does not back down and he does not believe in head moment. I think this fight happens in September. Either way, Manny will most likely come out the victor. If Bradley fights he may be a little different but I think he will want to prove that the first fight wasn't a gift but a well earned decision.

Oh most def. it was a unexpected war that can be the 1st candidate for FOTY, but it's like what I typed, it was unexpected. The first Rios-Alverado fight had more people in the stands than Bradley-Porognakov, and we seen how that fight lived up to the hype. Now is the rematch with hype based off a war we already seen and should expect more. Something Bradley-Porognakov didn't have until the actual fight, but lets see what happens in the rematch, If you ask me who I think wins it, I'm gonna stick with Rios.
Actually I meant I was looking forward to it before it became.a war lol. I've been watching Bradley for ages and I've seen ruslan in like 4 or 5 fights. But I guess I get excited for weird match ups, I thought people were hyping up rios alvarado.
