A little while ago Apple finally added support for the Fuji X-Trans series of cameras into Aperture. With their non-bayer sensor design I had previously been skeptical that it would ever happen, but as an owner of a Fuji XE-1 I was delighted that it did. The quality of Aperture's conversion was a little difficult to quantify at first. On the one hand it seems to render detail and colour much better than other converters, particularly Lightroom, and it doesn't suffer from the fractal pattern issue that Lightroom conversions seem to suffer from in fine detail. On the other hand the control of moire is not great, and you can get some pretty bad patterns and colour noise depending on the source material. Since it came out, I've been going back and forward on whether or not I prefer it to Lightroom. I've written a few posts (2) about it over on my photography blog.
Since then I've come up with a workflow for dealing with the Fuji X series files in Aperture that provides a way to deal with the issues, and gives you the best of both worlds. The approach starts by making a few tweaks to the raw conversion. You'll need at least one raw file from either an X100s, a X-Pro 1, an XE-1 or a X20 to make these changes for the first time. (If you have more than one fuji camera, you need to set the raw fine tuning for each of them) Here's what to do to set things up:
1. Select a file in Aperture and go to the Adjustment brick
2. Go to the raw fine tuning brick and turn the sharpening control off. In my experimenting, I found that this exacerbates any artefacts. Don't worry though, we're going to add another sharpening brick later.
3. From the cog menu on the Raw fine tuning brick choose Save as camera default.
Ok, that's the first step done with. Now we need to create a preset to apply on import. The main thing we want to do is add a sharpen adjustment automatically. I added an edge sharpen adjustment with the following settings.
I also made a few other changes. I added a little bit of contrast using curves, and I also added some shadow and highlight adjustments, to mimic the shadow and highlight tone options I use on my Fuji XE-1. You don't want to make andy drastic changes as this is an import preset that we're creating, so only do very mind tweaks, and remember this is war you want to apply to everything. If you want just leave it with the sharpening.
Once you've set it up the way you want to, save your preset with some name so that you can find it easily later. I called mine XTRANS-import.
Ok, tat's the set-up part of the workflow over with. Now for the actual workflow!
When Importing X-Trans files I use a three step approach:
Step 1
First, I always shoot RAW+JPEG, and when I import the files front he camera I choose Raw+ Jpeg Pairs with RAW as default. In the import dialog under Effect Preset, I choose the Xtrans-Import preset I created earlier.
Step 2
If any of my images have any issues with the raw conversion, such as the colour noise, aliasing or moire, I simply right click on the image and choose Use Jpeg as Original. This generally solves 90% of the problems.
Step 3
If I'm still not happy with the file, for example if there are blown highlights, or if there's any other reason that I would prefer to have the raw file I use the plug in Catapult to send my raw file to Silkypix to do the conversion. Once I've made my changes in Silkypix I just render out the file and Catapult will re-import it and re-stack it to the original in the Aperture library. Incidentally, you don't have to use Silkypix with catapult, you could use camera raw or Lightroom or Capture one if you have it.
In my opinion Capture One does the best quality conversion over all of X-Trans files, but that's a whole other story! Send your hate mail to…..
So there you have it. For the most part, Aperture's conversion is fine, it's only really when you run into an issue with a file that you need to go to step 2 or three. I know that sounds awfully complicated, but in practice it's really not, and it means you can use Aperture to manage your X-Trans Raw files without having to sacrifice any quality.

The Norway Maple is a fast-growing tree that transplants readily and tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, establishes quickly, and is adaptable to polluted atmosphere. When mature, forms a rounded canopy that tops out at 50 to 60 feet. The tree is most noticeable in the spring, when it is covered in lime-green flowers and the fall, when it turns deep yellow.
Native to Europe, Norway Maple was once used extensively in the landscape, as both a street and landscape tree. It has fallen out of favor because of its invasive nature. This is especially true in woodlands, where it out-competes our native species. In Central Park we have removed hundreds in the woodlands and replaced them with native species.
Medium-sized, up to 60 feet, oval, usually with dense rounded crown.

Modern Chicago bluesman Nick Moss and his rockin' band The Flip Tops may seem like they exploded onto the contemporary blues scene at the turn of the century, but the truth is that they had, collectively, decades of blueswork beneath their belts before coming together. Singer, songwriter, and incendiary guitarist Nick Moss made his bones playing behind legends like Jimmy Dawkins, Jimmy Rogers, and Willie Smith's Legendary Blues Band, while the Flip Tops, including multi-instrumentalists Gerry Hundt and Willie Oshawny, have similarly impressive pedigrees.
The first Live At Chan's, released in 2006 on Nick and Kate Moss' Blue Bella Records, cemented the band's reputation with the blues community after a handful of well-received studio efforts. A red-hot and scorching live set, the album earned Moss and the band a pair of deserved Blues Music Award nominations, and showed newcomers what they were missing if they weren't attending a Nick Moss and the Flip Tops show in person. With Live At Chan's - Combo Platter No. 2, Moss and crew try and succeed at catching lightning in a bottle for the second time, returning to the scene of the crime to lay down another live performance on tape.
Nick Moss & the Flip Tops' Live At Chan's - Combo Platter No. 2
The set kicks off with the rambunctious instrumental "Spare Ribs & Chopsticks," laying the groundwork and letting the listener know that this a blues band with plenty of heart and soul. With Moss' imaginative fretwork soaring above a solid strutting rhythm, Willie Oshawny's inspired piano-pounding serves as a stylistic counterpoint and adds an undeniable energy to the proceeding.
The Moss original, "Try To Treat You Right," is a swaggering, old-school Chicago blues stomp with one foot in 1950s West Side and the other in today's amped-up blues sound. Moss' vocals are soulful and to the point, never embellishing but instead delivering the lyrics with force, while Oshawny's keyboard work brings up the ghost of Otis Spann. Gerry Hundt, a talented solo performer in his own right, smacks out some tasty riffs on his mouth harp, while the bossman's guitar swings, dances, and roars through the solos with breathtaking efficiency.
Instrumental Furies
Hundt takes the microphone for the throwback boogie-woogie dancefloor boomer "Whiskey Makes Me Mean," which he recorded on his 2007 album Since Way Back. With Nick holding down the bottom line with some fiery harpwork, Hundt rocks the mandolin, which lends a curious country blues vibe to the engaging up-tempo rocker. Another Moss original, "Lonesome Bedroom Blues," exhibits a fusion of Jimmy Rogers-styled guitar elegance with a bit of reckless rockabilly fretwork, laid atop a foundation of Hundt's scowling harp and a slow-burning rhythm. The result is a performance so deliberately dark, smoldering, and downright funky that you'd swear you're sitting in the club hearing it for the first time.
The raucous instrumental "Fill 'Er Up," from Play It 'Til Tomorrow, the 2007 album from Moss and the Flip Tops, serves as an excellent showcase for the various instrumentalists' skills. Hundt rides his harmonica like Little Walter jukin' his way to the top o' the charts, Moss' guitarwork brings a nicely-chiming tone and resonance to the song, and Bob Carter's drumming offers a nice walking rhythm with plenty of breathless brush work. The missus, Kate Moss brings a fine, subtle bassline to support the rhythm, and Oshawny's piano lends an authentic 1950s Chicago feel to the performance.
Chicago Blues Royalty Lurrie Bell
The son of legendary harpist Carey Bell, and a growing legend in his own right, blues guitarist Lurrie Bell dropped by Chan's to lend his dusky voice and bone-breaking fretwork to a number of songs. The first is a magnificent cover of Tampa Red's "Don't You Like To Me," an early Chicago blues standard that is afforded Bell's rich vocals and expressive six-string playing. Bell, Moss, and the Flip Tops fan the flame with an inspired reading of the R&B gem "Five Long Years." Bell's jazzy notes intro the song, leading into his best bluesy shout-and-moan vocals. With Oshawny's keys providing a tearful backdrop, Moss and Bell swap mournful licks above a steady, deliberate rhythm.
Willie Dixon's Chicago blues standard "I'm Ready" is provided a rich, full band sound behind Bell's playful vocals and sharp bits of stinging six-string while the set-closing "I Wanna Know" is a crowd-pleasing, floor-shaking, rafter-rattling seven-minute-plus houserocker that certainly had the woks hopping back in the Chan's kitchen. Moss and Bell trade off with flamethrowing solos that threaten to set off the building's sprinklers, while the band keeps up the fast-n-furious pace with white-hot blasts of piano, drums, and bass.
The Reverend's Bottom Line
Nick Moss and the Flip Tops are the real deal, a road-weary blues band seasoned by hundreds of shows and enthusiastic audiences. Live At Chan's - Combo Platter No. 2 is a spot-on document of the band's loud-and-proud live sound, an ear-pleasing collection of performances that, instead of being dominated by guitar - as with a lot of similar bands today - rather provides listeners with a rich thrill-ride of instrumentation that lends plenty of stage time to harp, piano, bass, and drums.
A true full band effort that spotlight's each individual musician's considerable talents, Live At Chan's - Combo Platter No. 2 should motivate any modern blues fan to buy a ticket to the next Moss and the Flip Tops show that comes anywhere within a hundred miles of home. (Blue Bella Records, released April 21, 2009)

I've been slack on posting about records this year for the very simple reason that I haven't been buying much. It's not because there isn't much good shit out there (I still don't have either Versalife 12s arrgghhh), I've just been channeling my funds into other things, some that are relevant to music, some less so. But I thought I'd do up a lil top ten as it's been so long. I try not to post about records already covered by the others on here but feel free to point out that we as a collective are repeating ourselves. They are in no real order, some are individual tracks, some are full releases, some may not be too hot of the presses either. Anyways…
Terrence Dixon – Digital Domain
This one has been languishing, unreleased, for a few years now. Mike Grant does some edits work but either way this is straight up Dixon quality. He does his thing of mixing up a minimal techno aesthetic with looser percussion with Circus' shuffling but thumping rhythms doing it for me. Not sure about the closing "Untitled" and it's drum n bass inspired stylings, but bar that the 12 delivers.
Vakula – Pictures of You
Frank has already been giving this guy some love on his last posts, and I'm gonna continue. He's allegedly hyped or whatever, but I ain't been paying attention. All I know is that I love this release and while folk continue to gripe about the blandness of so much house being put out at the moment, this has got an edge for me. Especially "Music" and the title track, which builds up brilliantly from a quirky, psychedelic track into a euphoric, piano led deep house cut perfect for hazy summer evenings.
Juju and Jordash – Avian Oasis
Featuring on the first ep of the new Downbeat Black label, the Juju's tone things down a bit after some rowdiness at the end of last year (most notably the bruising "KIlling Raul With Acid" from this), with a lush, panoramic piece of down tempo house with a tinge of Americana added on.
Lory D – Strange Days Vol 1
No fucking about on either cuts off the Italian's first release on Glasgow's Numbers imprint. Intense, rave inspired techno. Big deal if it's the start of the summer, get yourself into a darkened room and turn it up.
Meschi – Shifting Harbours
Mr Meschi makes his full debut on vinyl on the latest Lunar Disko release with this 4 tracker of mostly Chicago inspired house. But it's the open ambient cut "Sur la Route" that I keep coming back to.
Big Ben Tribe – Heroes (instrumental)
Came across this on the dubious looking (strike me doing for buying a bootleg comp, it happens sometimes) Balaerica 4 compilation. It's a, you've guessed it, italo-disco cover of David Bowie's Heroes, and it's ace.
Instra:mental – User
While many dubstep/bass heads are getting themselves all up in a tizzy this year over some new ideas allegedly coming out from the scene, the rest of us see that it's just a slightly quirky take on electro, ie. it's nothing really that new. Either way, I enjoyed a lot of the Resolution653 album with this cut doing it for me, simply cause I like this abrasive type of electro and not much of it is knocking about these days that grabs me.
Om Unit – The Timps
More electro goodness here from London's Om Unit. It's got those grinding synths many Drexciya fans will recognise but this becomes sorta irresistible when the 4/4 comes slamming in a third of the way through. I've had all manner of people asking me about this song when I played it out.
Lerosa – Amanatto
This release is still a lil bit off, but the wait will be worth it when Mr Rosa's 2nd album (and first to be available on vinyl and cd) drops next month. Gladly not opting to put a bunch of 2min ambient dribbles on it to justify it being a long-player, instead we get a full albums worth of the Italian's unique deep house stylings. With OliverWho Factory enlisted on some of the tracks, the killer "Ordinary People" may finally see Lerosa get that "hit" that has so far eluded him, hopefully taking him up to that next level after years of killing it.
Theo Parrish – Feel Free To Be Who You Need To Be
Regular readers will know that I've not been particularly happy with Mr Parrish's business aesthetic of late, firing out ridiculously over priced edits in the hope that folk will buy em at any price just cause it's got his name on it. But my favourite release of his this year comes in the form of a bog standard priced 12inch featuring a couple of cuts from last year's Sketches album. Feel Free… is gnarly like Theo likes to do it, but it also packs quite an uptempo thump when it finally breaks out.

And, no, I don't think replacing coach Karl with Mike Brown is a good idea...somebody suggested that on another thread and I wanted to poke my eyes out even thinking about how boring that would be without Melo on our team. He only won because of Lebron...clearly
However, I grow increasingly frustrated watching legitimate individual defenders (AAA, CB1, KMart, even Nene) form a team that is so porous on D. I think it has to do with scheme and not with talent. Does this have to do with coach Grg leaving? Was Mosley that much of a presence on the bench? I mean, I think every team the Nuggets play says every time down the court, "Alright, best shooter on the baseline or wing, high pick and roll, 110 points per game."
This is driving me more crazy than the Melo thing right now to be totally honest. Game in and game out we lose time outs, can't stop the pick and roll, switch every screen, don't get back on D (which you would think means that we go to the offensive boards...eh, not so much), and give up open look after open look.
I wish I had all the answers, but I don't. I would love to get your takes though on why this is and what in God's name can be done about it. Last year and our WCF run, we gave up a lot of points due to aggressiveness. Has Melo taken the fight out of us?
Thanks for reading my venting...I needed that.

CLEVELAND (KNOE 8 News) - Cleveland's police chief says the three women held captive in a house for nearly a decade were restrained with ropes and chains and allowed out into the back yard occasionally.
McGrath says he was "absolutely" sure police did everything they could to find the women over the years. He disputed claims by neighbors that officers had been called to the house before for suspicious circumstances.
McGrath says the three men who have been arrested in the case "are talking" but he wouldn't say if they have confessed.
He says a charging decision could come later Wednesday.

I am a newbie to Nokia J2ME programming.
I am trying to run the sample project in MIDP_1_0_Introduction_to_Networked_MIDlets_v1_0.zip on my Nokia 3220b.
When I run the project on NetBeans 5.0 beta 2 with Series 40 SDK 3rd Edition and WTK 2.2 it works ok. But some how when I install the application on the real device 3220b I get Application Error: java/lang/NullPointerException error
The exception happens at this point in the code:
// Opening the InputStream will open the connection
// and read the HTTP headers. They are stored until
// requested.
in = conn.openInputStream();
The code works on a real Sony Ericsson S710a.
I am using Nokia PC Suite 6.5.10 Install Application tool to install the application on the real phone. I am using a CA-42 Serial cable.
Everything seems to work with the phone since I am able to synchronize my address book between the phone and my PC.
Do I need a special configuration to get the phone to talk to the localhost?
I tried the following URLs, but none works. My web container is configured to listen on 8081 and other web applications work fine.
Please help!!!

Here are some woodburnings I did, before I had kids, when I had more time. The little bear is a letter holder. I gave him to my husband when we were dating. I sent him letters and cards about every day and he needed somewhere to keep them. The mule is on ash plywood and is in an 11×14 frame. He was given as payment to the man that took us to the church for our wedding in his two-seater buggy pulled by a team of horses.

It has often been said that little is known about specific genes that might be Y-linked (holandric) in their inheritance. A number of genes are known to be Y-linked including:

With the Oilers having two solid wins in as many weeks (Yakupov and Schultz), I thought that I would let myself fall into the giddiness of what the Oilers depth chart could look like next year, because I know as an Oilers fan I am supposed to have unwavering sarcasm and pessimism when it comes to the organization and all, but I think it's about time we all let ourselves indulge in some excitement for the new season, even if that excitement is cautious and skeptically judging if these recent wins will actually impact our on-ice product. After all, neither Yakupov nor Schultz has even played an NHL game yet...I say screw that for a day and be a fan for once. I am going to be making about a dozen other potential depth charts in my head before the regular season, based on whatever personnel changes come between now and then, but I think now is a good time to look at our current roster without any UFA acquisitions and still feel like we have an improved roster from last year already, and we haven't even had to give anything away yet.
If this whole optimism angle isn't your thing, we can also look at imaginary depth charts as a way to see where the current holes in the roster are, as so we can be prepared to scrutinize and criticize various Oiler moves in the upcoming week, especially tomorrow.
My own imaginary depth chart is as follows. It's a current depth chart so I've included all of the players that I think we can reasonably assume to have a chance at being part of the Oilers in the upcoming year. In other words, no Cam Barker, but I've kept names like Hordichuk in parentheses but not in actual roster spots because I don't think they bring them back, but it's not certain that they don't.
Hartikainen/ Vande Velde(?)/Jones
N. Schultz/J. Schultz
On the radar:
C. Jones
Some notes: I assume Yakupov will be on the team this year and although he could be slotted anywhere between lines one and three, I think that (A) Yakupov is the best candidate to move to LW, being a natural left and even stating himself that he will play wherever, so he sounds comfortable enough for a shot and (B) Yakupov and Hall both seem like explosive players and considering your top 2 Cs and RWs, you need to have as much intensity on both lines as you can. I could see Hartikainen or even Paajarvi slotting into a top 6 role as well, especially if injuries happen, but for now I think the offensive talent in the top 6 I've listed above is phenomenal and the best we've had in Edmonton since probably the time of the Cups.
Hall/Gagner/Hemsky also had time together last year and they looked pretty good, and that's a damn good 2nd/1b line to have.
I'm not sure if Paajarvi makes the team next year and I'm even less sure if he's ready to, but if I had to put money on it I'd make a small wager that Paajarvi makes the team out of camp. I have a question mark next to Smyth's name because I'm not sold that he's coming back, though I'd say it's certainly a possibility since you're not going to find a better free agent player for that price, especially not one with Smyth's ties and respect in the organization. If Smyth walks I'd think it would be super interesting if the Oilers decided to give Omark a try playing with Paajarvi on the third line for a handful of games, maybe even with Lander at centre, and see if they can get something going together. We're not really sure how Krueger is going to be as a coach yet and who he likes and dislikes, aside from the fact that I don't think he loves Ryan Jones. In reality I don't see it happening but it'd be fun just the same.
It's probably more likely that Vande Velde doesn't make the team and they keep Eager and Belanger around, but this is my imaginary depth chart, so I'm allowed to have my imaginary biases. I like Vande Velde better than Belanger but I liked O'Marra better than both of them last year. I still don't understand that trade. I'd say Hartikainen has a better chance to make the team than Paajarvi, especially given the Oilers' thinking at the draft this year. Plus, I remember an episode of Oil Change where Tambellini had Hartikainen's name on the roster, but after more discussion apparently carried on, they seemed to have decided that they didn't have room for him. I think he's cracked it this year barring a poor camp.
Couldn't wait to plop J. Schultz on a line with N. Schultz. To me, this means Potter is more expendable than Peckham, but there's probably more of a market for Peckham and I'd say Potter has a higher ceiling than Peckham for next season, but perhaps only because Potter had more good arrows than Peckham last year. If I had to bank on the future of a young player with the playing ability of Peckham or Potter, I'd be basing my prediction heavily on their performance in their last playing season.
I'm not sure if they keep Khabibulin or bury him, though like most other people I wish he'd be gone. If this is the case, is it impossible for him to have another magical 15 games out of 20 that he plays next year? Probably but maybe not. I'm not sold on Dubnyk, but maybe that's just my Oilers' fan paranoia kicking in.
It's fun to see Pitlick's name so close to the top of my "AHL watch" list. I think there's a chance he gets a call-up next year, depending on injuries, his play and what other NHL/AHL pros they sign. Again, there's a chance that Lander cracks the NHL roster opening day again, especially if Belanger is dealt and CVV doesn't have a good camp. I'm surprised that they haven't given Tyrvainen a look yet given the needs of the club, but with the team weaknesses I think he gets a look before Cornet this year if it comes down to it, depending on performances of course.
I hope I see Fedun as an Oiler by the end of the year, sticking on the team from the day he steps in. In fact I hope he makes the NHL roster out of camp, I just don't think there's the room there was last year.
I put Roy and Bunz as the goaltenders for fun mostly; I think it's more likely that Bunz goes to Stockton and they sign a good 3rd string goaltender if Khabby is still there. The thing is, I can also see a battle ala Dubnyk-Deslaurier between Bunz and Roy starting next year. I can see this as the risk the Oilers are most likely to make next year with regards to depth at a position, even moreso than defense. Here's to hoping Khabby plays out of his mind for a dozen games and Bunz and Roy push each other to be good enough for the NHL sooner than you'd expect.
I couldn't care less about Martindale or Abney and wish the organization would give them away for nothing so I could stop mentioning them in lists like these.
I'd give Rieder an outside chance on making the Barons next year, depending on how mature the team thinks he is and how well he plays at camp. He had one hell of a year last year, and I don't think he's gone up enough in the heads of some people. Draft pedigree doesn't mean much to me a year after the player is drafted, and some people bloom after their draft year. Yes, cautious optimism still, but all the information is good so we may as well be excited about it. It's Justin Schultz day, after all.
There's also a chance that Gernat and/or Musil come to the AHL. If I had to choose one I'd say Musil because he got a contract first. He might be an N. Schultz replacement down the road.
Klefbom is the last player that I'd say has a chance to walk into the AHL/NHL next year, given his year left on his contract in Sweden and how Tambellini and he both said that staying in Sweden was probably a good idea for one more year. He might be ready, though.
On the radar is a handful of guys I think have a small chance of getting an NHL or AHL contract this year. Ringwald and Yeo are two guys that didn't start in OKC but they finished there and as two of the better defenders from what I can tell. Connor Jones is someone that plays well with his brother Kellen, who is playing pretty well in college and might earn a contract next year. They probably don't make it, but there's always that chance that they'll blossom into a poor man's Sedins or Staals. Brett Ferguson is obviously someone they like since this is his second camp, maybe OKC gives him a shot. Laraque is just for fun, but if they are looking for a Hordichuk replacement, I wouldn't rule it out and hey he scored a hat trick for us once right?
As for holes, the biggest one to me by far is in net, but I'm also very optimistic about Taylor Fedun, following him as closely as anyone since a little before Penticton last year. We're not great on centre depth and it wouldn't be a terrible idea to at least pick up a veteran AHL call-up option or re-sign Green. Of course a proven NHL player would be best, but I also don't mind this being a try-out year for a few fringe players before we go free agent crazy, especially given the quality of this year's crop and the fact that a lot of our young players are due for raises soon. I don't want to pay 3M for something that's already in the organization for much cheaper. After that I'm actually pretty excited about the forward group, except that their call-up options are anything but proven, and it would be foolhardy not to plan for injuries. A top-2 D-man pick-up would be the icing on the cake but I don't see too many out there and wouldn't like the price for them. We aren't doing bad in the depth defenseman category, better than I think we are in the forward depth category, especially since my favourite prospects of that bunch are in Junior still (Rieder, Zharkov).
I know it has been a long read, but if you read this far hopefully you can appreciate my blend of excitement and neuroticism for the team, even if I'll have to come back to reasonable expectations before the season starts. In the end I want to be entertained and even if there are some flops, I am entertained by the new players and the excitement that they bring, so I'll take that and cheer like hell for a play-off race where anything can happen.

NEWPORT, R.I. --- Charlie Strong answered questions from the media in a formal press conference to start his American Athletic Conference Media Day at the Hotel Viking.
To watch the raw video: click here
A TRANSCRIPT OF STRONG'S REMARKS, From Asapsports.com
COACH STRONG: Really happy to be a part of this day and really excited about being a part of this league. Really excited about the upcoming season. Our players work really hard, but there's been really some real unrealistic expectations placed upon this football team.
And the thing we're going to have to do as a team is a lot of questions has to be answered. Number one, we'll be a team that can continue to focus week in and week out.
Can we be a team that's going to be prepared week in week out?
Is this going to be a team that's going to get complacent. I know now we've been picked to win the conference. I think about four years ago, just standing here and we were picked last, even the next year, the second year, we were picked last.
Last year we were picked to win it and this year we're picked to win it. So two years we're being picked last, and these next two we've been picked to go win this conference.
But it's a tribute to the hard work that our players have made over the years and I'm so excited.
You think back just how far this program have come and what we put into this program. Coaching staff has done a great job, our players have done a great job. It's all about us. Can we adapt and can we change and can we continue to move this program forward?
We want to make this one of the best programs in the country. And the only way that's going to happen is our players have to continue to work hard, our players have to continue to prepare hard. Our coaches have to continue to work hard. Our coaches have to continue to prepare hard. But we're really excited about this upcoming season and we're looking forward to the challenge.
Q. How has Teddy handled a lot more attention, publicity? And how is he equipped do you think as the season starts when it becomes a possible distraction?
COACH STRONG: I think that Teddy is an amazing young man. But he's surrounded by some outstanding players himself. But he's a very humble young man. If you look at him, just watching him grow over the years, he's loaded with a ton of athletic ability, but just getting to know him as a person.
And Teddy understands that at first, I think that when you look back, he really didn't want this team and he didn't want to be the leader of his team, but just the way he's grown and developed, he has no choice now. And he's ready to welcome that challenge. But it's been fun to just watch his development.
And I think that he can handle it. I think that he knows what's ahead of him and what he has to get accomplished.
Q. Charlie, you've always been one to kind of take statistics and use them as motivation. Will you use the two votes that you guys didn't get that it wasn't unanimous? We've been hearing a lot the whole off‑season about what this season was going to be for you guys but it wasn't a unanimous decision.
COACH STRONG: No, I won't take those two votes because our team‑‑ what we try to do as a football team, what I try to do each and every week is not so much that we focus on the opponent but we focus on ourselves. And what's key for us is that we have to get better and see if we can go be the best each and every day as a player.
And if our players can go develop each and every day, then they will know‑‑ they know their ability and what they had to go‑‑ try to go get accomplished.
So it's not so much that we have to worry about the opponent, but let's worry about ourselves and let's take it game by game, which we will, but let's make sure that as a player, that we're getting better and we're giving every effort and everything we have to give to make this program a good program.
Q. I know you told Pete (Thamel) that you're still in the decision process on Michael Dyer. I know that you're limited on what you can say about that, but what would you say to those who would say bringing in a player like that potentially would go against some of the core values that you put up in your office?
COACH STRONG: He's not part of our program. And when you talk about he's not been a part of our program, our core values are within our program and the men that in our program, and they understand our core values and what they're all about. But it's for the players that are within our program.
Q. When it comes to Teddy, what have you learned about him as a person, away from football, that maybe you didn't know during the recruiting process that has sort of wowed you?
COACH STRONG: Well, the thing that Teddy has is strong faith, and I didn't know it during the recruiting process, but his mom with her illness, and then with him watching that happen to her, it just made him stronger.
And what she's done, not only with Teddy, with her other children, they're really strong kids and they can handle any adversity within their life. And that's what he's been able‑‑ that's why he's been able to overcome the adversities he's had in his life, because of his upbringing.
Q. I know you just mentioned unrealistic expectations but you also said that you want to be the best football program in the country. What would him winning the Heisman mean for your program? What would it do for your program?
COACH STRONG: It would speak volumes to our program and just where we've come and his individual effort and what he's put into it. But what we'd like to do is so much social media, we don't have to push him for that Heisman, because just how he plays is going to determine what he does and how this team plays with the Heisman Trophy and where it's going to end up for him.
Q. I know you've coached teams that were coming back from National Championships. Is this challenge of coaching this team any different as you see it from others that you've seen? Is there any you can compare it to?
COACH STRONG: When I think about it, Gary, and I think about that team in '09 and when Tebow made that announcement that he was coming back, and on defense that year, we had 21 to 22 returners coming back at Florida. And offensively you had Tebow, you had Percy Harvin, you had the Pounceys, and Riley Cooper, you had some really outstanding players coming back.
And what happened with that football team, which I don't want to see happen with our team, is that when it became a sigh of relief and it was like you win a game, you're like, ah, we won the game, and you get on to the next one.
And luckily we did not lose a game until that last game against Alabama in a championship game, and it was devastating. That's what I want to see happen to our team is that a loss will come devastating our program because we're going to have to overcome some adversity. There's going to be some games where we're not going to play. There will be some games we're going to be favored and we may walk out of there with a three‑point victory, but who cares? We won the game. Are people going to say you didn't beat them by 30? It's all about us making sure that we maintain our focus and making sure, you know what, guys, at the end of the day, just win the football game.
And I'm not going to allow that to happen where winning becomes a sigh of relief. Hey, we're happy, now let's get on with the next opponent, but let's enjoy this win.
Q. There's a lot of changes in the league, some holdovers, a lot of new members. Do you feel that across the board you guys kind of have a bull's eye on your back due to the nature of last season, the way you finished and the expectations for this year? Is that inherent to being the defending conference champs? Or do you feel this is heightened because of the expectations?
COACH STRONG: I just think that our program is nowhere near where it should be. We will always be a team that's always looking to improve. We'll always be a team that's going to be the hunter. There's no bull's eye on our back.
I think a lot of times when you talk about having a bull's eye on your back, it means you reached a level where you're stopping, you don't want to grow anymore. But we want to continue to grow, so we're always going to be the hunter.
When we're looking for teams‑‑ and I know there's a lot of teams out there. You talk about this league, this is an outstanding league. There's really good teams in this league with outstanding football players. By no means do we think we're the top level team in this league. Each and every week we're going to have to go out and prove it.
And you think about Cincinnati. They were picked second. There's Rutgers still in this league. There's South Florida. Central Florida. There's Connecticut. SMU.
There's some really good teams in this league. So let's not overlook anyone. Let's not think we're better than anyone else.
Q. When you came in, you guys used a lot of freshmen the first two years. You had to use a lot of freshmen. This year the competition, could you just talk about what it's going to be like in preseason, the competition, especially on offense, maybe wide receiver, and how guys are going to get better because you've got so much depth you've now that you've built through recruiting.
COACH STRONG: You like to think that we have enough players in our league where we can and practice and feel good about practicing, where you feel if you do‑‑ if for some reason you do lose a player, you have someone that's a comparable backup that can come in and replace him.
That's what we're trying to do during the recruiting process, to continue to build depth within our program and making sure‑‑ just making sure you have really outstanding players that go replace a player.
I was just thinking, looking at our defensive backs, I told Vance, we have something called filled corner. We stand there with four scholarships guys that filled corner that have never been before.
And I was just thinking back, just over the years, you may have a couple of scholarship players and a couple of walk‑ons, but it's like that. And we're continue to build. And we'd need to. We'd need to continue to build. We'd need to build our offense and defensive line the way we are building our skilled position.
If you look at the wide receiver position, you can go DeVante Parker, you can go Cope, you go Eli Rogers. You go now‑‑ with Milton coming in as a transfer that's coming there. Robert Clark is a transfer. There's James Quick.
At the tight end position you go B.J. Butler. You go Gerald Christian. You go Jalen Harrington. You go Hubbell. So you're building guys there which we didn't have before. Now that we need to continue to build. The way we built at the skilled position, we need to build that at the offensive and defensive line.
Q. You talked earlier about the noise and you say that a lot. How do you keep this team focused and not listen to the outside noise, the expectations? How do you keep this team focused when you get them in camp?
COACH STRONG: The theme for us is going to be either we're growing or we're dying. If we're growing, we're trying to get better each and every day and we're trying to improve the program.
If we're dying, we'll be at the program that's just going to want to maintain. We don't want to get better. We'll become complacent. And that's what we can't do. We can't become complacent. We can't be self‑absorbed, or we get cocky. We get arrogant. Because there's still a lot of questions and this team still has a lot of room for improvement.
Like I said, we're nowhere near where we should be and we can get better. You look at the games we lost last year, we're sitting there, we're playing pretty good. We're 8‑0. We go to Syracuse, they slap us pretty good. We come back at home against Connecticut. They beat us. Then we had to go into a game where we have to go win on the road against Rutgers.
I tell them all the time, guys, the measuring stick of this team is going to be measured to that Florida game. And we played very well in that game. So now everyone is going to expect you to play each game the way you played in that game, and it's not going to happen.
So let's not get full of ourselves and let's not think that we have all the answers because the moment you do, you will walk into a game, you'll get into a week where you won't practice well and you'll go get it put on you pretty good. And then that would be a wake‑up call.
We don't need any wake‑up calls. We need to hit the alarm button before somebody comes in there and puts it on us really good.
So it's about us making sure we maintain our focus. And the preparation has to be there, the commitment has to be there, the right attitude.
Our players need to have an attitude of each and every week, that attitude of myself, I want to go get better as a coach, as a player, as a whole program. And if that happens within our program then we have a chance. But we have to make sure that happens and it happens each and every day. And if that happens, then we'll be able to carry it on through the year.

But as my AA sponsor told me, your children require one sober parent (of course two would be much better but that isn't happening right now). Looks like you are the one stepping up to the plate. You will start to feel empowered, loved and supported when you walk through the doors of AA. I promise you! You are so worth it! You will grow and know intuitively what to do in situations which used to baffle you. You are going to get your life back.

Sending a big huge hug!

You're posting here for support and you're attending AA.

The second is that your husband is abusive. It is a totally separate issue.

Your husband also has two separate problems. The first is that he has a problem with alcohol.

The second is that he is abusive. These things are separate also. Alcohol doesn't 'make' people abusive. Believing that you have the right to abuse your partner makes people abusive. The alcohol is just an aggravating factor.

Perhaps drinking is a coping mechanism for you. Something to numb out the fact that your partner is abusing you. Many women living with domestic abuse drink in order to cope.

Domestic abuse isn't just about violence and hitting. It's about emotional bullying as well. You could also go to your local domestic abuse support services as well as AA for some help. I'm a domestic abuse support worker in Britain and I know that if you came to our office and told your story you would receive all the non judgemental support we could offer.Gappyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-617492390257581059.post-5478665346335319712012-04-11T20:37:56.078-04:002012-04-11T20:37:56.078-04:00Sending thoughts and prayers your way.....and much...Sending thoughts and prayers your way.....and much strength to do the next right thing....mommaof3http://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-617492390257581059.post-47424766950385602872012-04-11T18:51:54.650-04:002012-04-11T18:51:54.650-04:00I second the thoughts on Al-Anon.

The insanity of your marriage will not end simply because you get sober. Unless your husband quits drinking as well, alcohol will continue to erode your relationship.

LONDONDERRY — A former youth football coach is facing multiple sexual assault charges after allegedly fondling two of his daughter's middle-school-aged classmates during sleepovers at his Londonderry home, police said. Timothy G. Longua, 41, of 7 Lane Way, turned himself in on a warrant by Londonderry Police shortly before 8 p.m. Friday evening. Longua had been scheduled for arraignment in Derry District Court Monday morning; however, his arraignment was rescheduled after he posted $10,000 cash bail and was released from Rockingham County Jail Saturday. According to a release from Londonderry police Monday morning, Longua is due in 10th Circuit Court, Derry District Division, March 25 at 8:15 a.m. Local police were contacted by the officials from the state Department of Children, Youth and Families in early February, according to Londonderry Police Detective Donald A. LaDuke. LaDuke said one of the young female victims gave a statement to officials at the Child Advocacy Center of Rockingham County on Feb. 12. The victim said Longua first assaulted her at her friend's house during the summer of 2012 when she was 11 years old. She described Longua as being "really drunk" at the time and alleged Longua crept into the bedroom and touched her breasts, buttocks and private area while she slept. A similar incident occurred later that summer, when the victim alleged that Longua, who she said placed his hands under her shirt and tried to push her hand down his pants, awakened her again. A third incident occurred at a sleepover in late December, when Longua allegedly fondled the victim one more time, despite her protests. The victim, now 12, told officials she believed Longua had assaulted at least one other preteen girl, also 12. LaDuke said the second victim said she reported an incident of Longua "rubbing her thighs, lower buttocks when she was wearing shorts" to Longua's wife, Maura, who allegedly told her she'd tell her husband "to stop doing that," according to the court records. Both victims told authorities Longua was "always drunk" when they were over and they both said they saw Longua drinking multiple Bud Light beers from a downstairs refrigerator. Maura Longua reportedly told police that drinking "is her husband's weakness." While state child welfare officials interviewed two other classmates who'd slept over the Longua home, no further disclosures of possible sexual assault charges have been made, LaDuke said. Londonderry Police interviewed Longua on Feb. 20, and he denied all accusations although he admitted his fondness for beer and reportedly told police that "he doesn't want to admit to something he doesn't remember," according to police statements. A call made to the Longua household wasn't immediately returned. According to Ryan Ouellette, president of the Londonderry Wildcats Football and Youth Spirit League, Longua was an assistant football coach for the Londonderry Wildcats for the 2012 football season. The 2012 football season started in July of 2012 and was completed in November of 2012. Longua was one of a group of seven adults, including a team parent, who were responsible for coaching/managing a group of 35 second- and third-grade football players, all young boys, on the Wildcat U3 football team.

Previous story follows:
LONDONDERRY— A former youth football coach is in custody after being arrested on a warrant for multiple sexual assault charges involving a 13-year-old victim, police said.
Timothy G. Longua, 41, of 7 Lane Way, turned himself in on a Londonderry police warrant shortly before 8 p.m. Friday evening. His arraignment in Derry District Court Monday morning was postponed. Police shared few details of the incident, saying the investigation is ongoing.
Longua faces four charges of aggravated felonious sexual assault/fondling and two charges of felonious sexual assault/forcible fondling.
Bail for Longua was set at $10,000 cash, which Longua posted.
According to Ryan Ouellette, president of the Londonderry Wildcats Football and Youth Spirit League, Longua was an assistant football coach for the Londonderry Wildcats for the 2012 football season. The 2012 football season started in July of 2012 and was completed in November of 2012. Longua was one of a group of seven adults, including a team parent, who were responsible for coaching/managing a group of 35 second- and third-grade football players, all young boys, on the Wildcat U3 football team.
Ouellette issued the following statement on behalf of the Wildcat program: "All coaches, team parents, and board members of the Londonderry Wildcats are required to obtain background checks from the National Center for Safety Initiatives. As of July of 2012, all board members, team parents and coaches, including Mr. Longua, passed our NCSI background screenings. All Wildcat football and cheerleading activities are conducted as group activities with multiple adults in attendance, including coaching staffs and parents who are free to attend all practices and game-day activities. Further, it has always been the policy of the Londonderry Wildcats to have a board member present at all activities, including team practices, events and games."
Ouellette concluded his statement by saying, "As of this time we do not know all the details of the alleged incident, and our thoughts and prayers remain with the Longua family."

WaPo: Maryland football recruiting making in-roads at Friendship Collegiate
Which everyone's already known for some time now, but hey, this is how narratives start, and narratives are self-perpetuating. We're not far off from this being a real story from the Post; land a few more and suddenly ESPN has a story on it, and then all the kids that come through Friendship will have this whole "FCA -> UMD" trend ingrained in them from all angles. Anyway: Maryland's offered five FCA players already, and it's likely to expand to seven in the near future. They have great chances with Derwin Gray and Cavon Walker, a fighting chance with Yannick Ngakoue, and Jalen Tabor is ... well, Jalen Tabor. But this type of relationship-building - which, make no mistake, is a concerted effort - is something that Fridge never really got. (Or maybe he did - always took someone from DeMatha, after all - but he just may not've been very good at it.) I'm not sure Edsall really gets it either, but someone on the staff does and that's good enough for me. Now let's just hope Aazaar Abdul-Rahim, FCA's head coach, doesn't get poached by N.C. State or someone as a secondary coach. But I no longer want him on the staff, necessarily; he can be a much bigger help there than he can be in College Park.

If I hire a photographher to shoot pictures of whatever, is that not a work for hire, and don't I own the photographs? Most photographers will tell you they have copyrighted the image. It should be a simple thing. You hired them, you paid them, you "own" the image.

Clemency hearings in the execution of Troy Anthony Davis have been put on hold. This news comes on the heels of Friday's decision by the Georgia State Supreme Court to hear an appeal by Davis's lawyers for a new trial.
For Davis's family, this means some borrowed time to plead his case of innocence.
For the family of Mark MacPhail, it's one more road block to what they believe is justice.
However, legal experts call this case highly unusual and predicting what will happen next is anyone's guess.
Last month, just 24 hours before he was set to be executed, Troy Davis was granted a 90 stay of execution by the State Pardon and Parole board. They wanted more time to review paperwork and testimony of witnesses who had recanted their stories.
Following the clemency hearings, Davis's attorneys filed an appeal for a new trial with the State Supreme Court, which on Friday, agreed to hear the appeal.
Now, with another clemency hearing scheduled for this Thursday, the hearing was cancelled and the clemency put on hold.
Local attorney Michael Schiavone has been following the case since the day Mark MacPhail was murdered outside a downtown Burger King and Troy Davis was arrested for the crime and sentenced to death.
"I've never seen as much emphasis on a case in the last hour that has occurred in this particular case," Schiavone said. "Things occurred within a relatively short time from the date his execution was scheduled. Within days, all of a sudden, the complexity of this case changed enormously."
Schiavone thinks this kind of scrutiny and checks and balances is good for the system, making sure if you are going to have the death penalty, the right person is executed. He's also surprised by the amount of attention the Troy Davis case has received nationally, in such a short time.
Even the Pope wrote a letter on behalf of Troy Davis.
Schiavone says it could be months before the appeal is heard and another few months before a decision. If the Supreme Court agrees to a new trial, the Board of Pardon and Paroles is out of the picture.
If the appeal for a new trial is denied, the clemency hearings, which were suspended, will pick up where the left off and it will once again be up to the Pardon and Parole Board whether Davis lives or dies.

Racquetball player lands sponsorship dealDecember 12, 2012 | Drew Menard/Liberty University News Service
Flames racquetball standout Shawn Furman recently received a one-year sponsorship deal from ProKennex Racquetball, a leading racquet sports equipment company.
Furman, a senior, will utilize ProKennex equipment and is expected to participate in a specified number of tournaments and host demonstration clinics to showcase the brand. He said the Liberty University racquetball team plans to host one such event at its home court, the Liberty-owned Sports Racket in Lynchburg, where he will have his own station to represent ProKennex.
Furman, a native of Northumberland, Pa., was offered the contract by the commissioner of the Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Racquetball Conference after one of the team's tournaments in November.
"Most sponsored players go looking for companies to sponsor them," said Danny Rodriguez, Flames racquetball head coach. "In Shawn's case, the ProKennex marketing rep offered to give the sponsor slot to Shawn."

Continue this awesome game discussion here!
A few observations at the half:
- Lot of injuries plaguing the Falcons right now. Chris Owens it out, Jerious Norwood and Michael Turner are questionable to return. The Falcons just keep rolling.
- Is there a better third back in the league than Jason Snelling? I say no after watching him pile up almost 100 yards in the first half.
- Matt Ryan quietly having an efficient, quality game. Kudos to him.

Ok, lets play a game,
Tell me who these scouting reports are about?
XXXX is a player who should do very well in the NFL. He excels at press man coverage and, among other things, has better ball skills than most of the XXXXXX in this year's class.
-Bleacher Report-
XXXXXXX is a talented prospect with the tape to back him up, but he doesn't have first-round tape and is a liability against the run. XXXXXX has an impressive skill set overall and will be drafted anywhere from late first round to late second round.
-Walter Football-
Owning a rare combination of size and speed, he stands at 5'11' (he is sometimes generously listed at 6'0') and 192 pounds. At the NFL combine he ran an impressive 4.41 in the 40-yard-dash. "He might be the most underrated player in the entire draft right now," ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay said earlier in April.
XXXXXXXXXXXX is not a flashy cornerback, and doesn't make a lot of big plays, but when you turn on the tape, you will quickly see that he does almost everything right, and takes his receiver almost completely out of the game. Jackson's calling card is his physicality and experience in bump-and-run coverage, he gets a good jam off the line, and mirrors his receiver very well in man coverage. Fundamentally sound, gets low in his back pedal, fluid hips, and takes good angles to the ball. Jackson though does not have the height you would want out of a shutdown corner at only 5-10. He will never be a player who intercepts a ton of passes, but nevertheless he is a well rounded corner who gets the job done. He is N.F.L ready and can step in immediately and start for any team, and has the ability to matchup up with any receiver in the league. Kareem Jackson will be either the second or third corner off the board, sometime in the mid-to-late first round.
-NFL draft geek-
OK, I left the name in the last one so you know who he is. I was not here when they drafted Jackson so today I read all the scouting reports on the guy. So help me understand, did the scouts say he was great, an instant starter and a sure fire NFL star? Were we completely blindsided by what we got from Jackson or is he a work in progress?
And the bigger question, if this is how accurate the scouts normally are, then what does it say about the current picks they are picking for the 2012 draft?

Brandon Phillips will need surgery to repair a torn ligament in his thumb.
The second baseman injured the thumb on his left hand diving for a ball in Wednesday's game.
Phillips will have surgery Friday and is expected to miss 6 weeks.
The injury comes just days after the Reds also placed Joey Votto on the disabled list with a strained left quad.
Homer Bailey left Thursday's game with a slightly strained right knee. Representatives say he had a precautionary MRI but is not expected to miss his next start, scheduled for after the All-Star break.
