From the Department of Public Safety:
AUSTIN, TX - The reward for John Michael Enard, 59, a Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offender and this month's featured fugitive, has increased to $13,000 for information leading to his capture if the tip comes in during the month of August. Enard removed his ankle monitor in January and fled from a Houston halfway house. He is considered a sexually violent predator and at high risk to reoffend.
Enard has family in Houston; Lafayette, Louisiana; and California. There have been reported sightings of Enard in Hammond, Arnaudville and Carencro, La.; Las Vegas, Nev.; Clovis, N.M. Anyone found to have been helping Enard avoid arrest will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
He is wanted for parole violation and felony failure to comply with civil commitment requirements. His convictions include aggravated rape-sexual assault, burglary of habitation with intent to rape and burglary.
Enard is 6 feet tall and weighs approximately 155 pounds. For more details on his escape, criminal history and additional photos, view his wanted bulletin.
One offender from the Texas 10 Most Wanted Program is featured each month in hopes the higher reward money from the Governor's Criminal Justice Division will generate additional tips. The higher reward amount will only be paid if the tip comes in the same month the fugitive is featured. All calls, texts, emails and Facebook tip messages are anonymous.

A Virginia truck driver has been charged in a November crash that killed a Lancaster County man and his 2-year-old son.
Mawuyrayrassuna E. Yaogan Noviho, 22, of Newport News, was charged Friday with two counts of homicide vehicle, one count of aggravated assault by vehicle, and five summary offenses, according to online court documents.
Joshua A. West, 40, of Denver, and his 2-year-old son died November 12 after their vehicle crashed into Noviho's tractor-trailer and overturned on Route 222 near Landis Valley Road in Manheim Township.
West's wife, 37-year-old Katie M. West, and their 4-year-old daughter were injured.
The summary charges against Noviho allege that he was traveling too slow for conditions and below the minimum speed limit, and failed to move the slow-moving truck off the roadway.

A local non-profit donated hundreds of toys for children in need this holiday season on Friday morning.
The Nevada Woodchucks distributed about 1,800 handmade wooden toys to a dozen local charities.
Officials say they were going to drop off the toys next week, but the potential for flooding this weekend prompted them to start early.
"We were going to distribute all of the toys on Thursday or Friday of next week, but we decided to bring it forward early, just in case. We'd rather not see the kids lose a few thousand toys," says Alan Harley.
Some of the charities that got toys included the Evelyn Mount Foundation, The Salvation Army and the Children's Cabinet.

For the past 15 years, the Devils have been a huge part of my life. At 5 years old, my dad brought me to Game 4 against the Detroit Red Wings when we won the cup. During my time as a Devils fan, I have come to understand what this organization is really all about. We are classy. We hold ourselves to a higher standard. The players know that the front of the jersey is more important than the back of the jersey. Teams respect us and fear us.
I don't know when it happened (It could have been when we moved to the Prudential Center or earlier) or why it happened but over the last couple years, our fans have stooped to a new low. One of our most notable chants after some rhythmic whistling is "Rangers Suck!" even when we're not playing the Rangers. I thought we were better than that??? If that's not a blow to the respectability to our organization, then check out our goal celebration chant.
"Hey! You Suck!" What??? That's our goal chant? Instead of telling the other team that they suck after we score a goal, why don't we take pride in our team and create something positive and original which will fire up both the fans and the players. I'm writing a FanPost about this because I'm extremely disappointed that this has been allowed persist. Let the washed up star-recruiting Rangers organization or the goony Flyers organization make chants like that. The Devils exist on a whole different level of respect in this league and we should never allow ourselves to stoop down to their level.
I have to believe that I'm not alone on this one. The bloggers on this site sparked the creativity for the name "ZIP line" so I'm hoping we can pool our ideas to come up with a new goal chant. DEVILS FANS.. Lets hear your thoughts and suggestions???

Pineapple, I have a bone to pick with you, and not just because you are my most disliked pizza topping! What is it that you did to make Mikhail Grabovski hate you so?
via jthockey.files.wordpress.com
Is it your sharp spines or the fact that once put on a pizza your juices infect every other topping with your flavour, making it impossible to truly be rid of you? Whatever it may be, I think you hold responsibility for some of the actions Mr. Grabovski has taken. Would he have started altercations with Leafs Jason Blake and Francois Beauchemin if he wasn't already on edge from his war on you and you're tropical brethren? Fruity drinks and pizza toppings aren't the only team chemistries you have ruined.
This holiday season, do what's right Pineapple, and patch things up with your arch nemesis. I'm sure Grabovski will welcome you with open arms....

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8 / CNS) - Airborne and ground firefighters needed about 30 minutes to knock down a blaze that blackened part of a brushy hillside in historic Presidio Park Thursday, authorities reported.
Flames began spreading through thick foliage near the 2800 block of Jackson Street, near Taylor Street just south of Interstate 8, about 11:30 a.m., according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
Ground crews battling the flames were supported by personnel on two emergency-services helicopters making water drops. The burn area was contained to about a quarter-acre, SDFRD spokesman Maurice Luque said.
The fire moved to within 150 yards of 85-year-old Junipero Serra Museum, a Spanish mission-style edifice that houses the collection of the San Diego History Center and is one of the city's most recognizable landmarks.
There were no immediate reports of structural damage or injuries. The cause of the fire was under investigation, though investigators believe it might have been set by a transient. Authorities were trying to locate the man for questioning.

A refreshed version of HTC's One X, the One X+ runs upgraded hardware compared to the original. There's a faster 1.7 GHz Tegra 3 AP37 CPU on-board, along with 64GB of storage and a larger 2100mAh battery.
Some other specs remain unchanged from the One X -- there's still 1GB of on-board RAM, a 4.7-inch SuperLCD2 display, and an 8MP rear camera with BSI sensor and HTC's ImageSense chip. The front-facer has undergone a small upgrade, though, jumping from 1.3MP to 1.6, and with this upgrade it gains the ability to use ImageSense.
On the software side, the One X+ is the first HTC phone to run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and the new HTC Sense 4+

Exhilarating transformation in Winchester: The Runners House
The Runners House is a contemporary refurbishment and extension of an existing house by AR Design Studio, located on the outskirts of Winchester, England. Nestled along a leafy lane on the outskirts of Winchester sits Kilham House. Once a tired building with a confusing layout, the house now boasts a contemporary update that really transforms the house into the five-bedroomed family home that it desperately needed to be.
A grand, double-height entrance guides you into the building, immediately bringing you into the heart of the home which has now been become the main living space for the family. A large expanse of sliding glazing gives views into the garden, allowing the three children to run wild whilst the parents can relax in the central space and still keep a watchful eye.
A key and exciting feature of the house is the staircase. Centered in the property it acts as a locus to the project, dividing the space between the kitchen, dining area and the living areas. Steel wires hang around the staircase, enclosing it in a contemporary wrap whilst also forming part of the balustrade. The stairs take you up to the first floor and onto a bridge that flows across the double height entrance space. A tongue in cheek use of Foscarini's Gregg pendant lights give a feeling of being up in the clouds, adding to airy and spacious feel of the central space.
At the rear of the property a central timber form connects the two wings of the house and projects into the garden creating an architectural form that ties the whole project together. A large concrete plinth that steps down to the garden creates a place to relax and dine outdoors. The concrete plinth flows into the property and makes up the entire ground floor surface. This use of material, mixed with the large sliding glazed panels that face onto the garden, blurs the boundary between indoors and outdoors.

Stunning transformation of a semi-detached Victorian house
House in Wimbledon is a remodel and extension of a semi-detached Victorian house that was the vision of Stephen Fletcher Architects, situated in Wimbledon, London, England. The clients approached the architects in 2010 with the brief, looking to build-on the Victorian period features wherever possible and decorate, fit-out and furnish the house in a 'period' style.
The front of the property has largely been restored to its original condition following the removal of an unsightly ground floor bay window addition. Lower ground floor extensions have been constructed to the rear and the side, the former in matching London stock bricks with 'Sky Frame' sliding French doors, and the latter discreetly located beneath the side passageway.
The ground floor of the property has been opened-up as far as possible so as to maximize the illusion of space and daylight. The two original reception rooms have been combined to form a single, grand drawing room with a central opening leading to the entrance hall.
Victorian-style plaster cornices and ceiling roses, painted timber sash windows with folding shutters, painted timber architraves and moulded skirtings, and a new limestone fire surround have been installed in keeping with the period of the house. The Dinesen douglas fir floorboards have been laid on piped underfloor heating.
The original staircase from the ground floor up to the second floor has been restored; the lower ground floor stair has been relocated towards the rear of the house so as to allow for a more efficient use of space at that level. Its balustrade and handrail match the original.
The lower ground floor of the house has witnessed the greatest transformation. A series of low-ceiling rooms were knocked-together, excavated by a couple of feet, and extensions constructed to the side and rear.
A large open-plan space has thus been created. The kitchen is located at one end, and overlooks an enlarged lightwell with a new stone stair accessing the front garden; the dining area is located in the center of the space.
A large central island unit with a slate counter houses contains many of the kitchen appliances and cupboard space, as well as a casual dining area. The oven range, additional cabinetry and open shelves are located along the party wall.
New 'Sky Frame' sliding French doors fill the entire rear elevation of the space and open onto a new terrace and steps. The connection with the rear garden has thereby been hugely improved. A pair of antique French window shutters were adapted to form double doors to a small children's playroom.
This roof terrace incorporates a large section of 'walk-on' glazing, which admits plenty of daylight and sunlight to the area below.
A spacious master suite has been created by connecting the two principal first floor rooms via a new opening with folding doors. This view is looking from the dressing room, at the front of the house, towards the bedroom at the rear.
A freestanding zinc bath on slate tiling has been installed in front of the master dressing room window; the shower room is located off this area. A log-burning stove has been installed within the original firebox.

Stylish London mews house re-imagined for loft living
This stylish London mews house has undergone a complete interior overhaul by Turner Pocock to create the feeling of a spacious New York loft apartment in London, England, United Kingdom.

Whitmore Road mixed-use project by Trevor Horne Architects
This recently completed mixed-use project is a five storey brick clad building marking the corner of Orsman Road and Whitmore Road, designed by Trevor Horne Architects in London, England. The mixed-use scheme houses studios for artists and architects on the ground and first floors, with three floors of spacious residential apartments sitting above. It is a simple framed structure reflecting the neighbouring warehouse buildings. A concrete Cobiax system allows for large spanning floor slabs with few internal columns, giving great flexibility for layouts.
There are six generous apartments, each with 3m high ceilings and ample living areas. Some materials expressed in the spaces are exposed concrete soffits, waxed oak flooring and basalt stone. The building has a tripartite composition of base, middle and top. Its volume is sculpted to respond to its urban location, marking the corner at its highest points, with balconies cut into the mass, lining through with neighboring cornices and stepping down to form a private courtyard to its two storey neighbor.

Westbourne Grove Church Conversion in Notting Hill
The two top floors of the iconic Westbourne Grove Church were converted by DOS Architects into a stunning home in the heart of Notting Hill, London, England. The clients wanted to create a space of openness and transparency, combining their desire for cutting-edge technology with a love of clean, luxurious designs, while respecting the traditional Gothic details of this historic building. The entire 4,300 square foot apartment is centered around a large double-height, light-filled space framed by spectacular arched windows, perfectly encapsulating the views beyond.
Check out more projects by DOS Architects
Our clients wanted interiors and design features to highlight, and not compete with the beauty of the church. In this way, the cantilevered glass staircase and glass-walled master bathroom are perfectly set-off against the Gothic arched windows. The new lay-out adds space and natural light to the entire home, while allowing for a seamless balance between areas to entertain in and those which remain private throughout this spectacular penthouse.

Victorian terraces tranformed into beautiful London family home
Ensconced in a beautiful, leafy corner of Brook Green, DOS Architects have turned two classic Victorian terraces into one outstanding family home on Souldern Road, London, UK. The client's vision was a bright, modern and spacious home which the architects achieved by retaining the overall structure of the 4,574 square foot (425 square meters) house and creating an ambitious rear extension. The result is a gracious double-height void which connects the kitchen and dining room on the lower floor to the rest of the public areas of the house.
The glass box is flanked by a cantilevered shear wall, serving to realign the house on a north-south axis. The new volume of the house is a natural continuation of the house's existing geometry, and we used material contrasts to create a smooth but visually exciting contrast between the indoor and outdoor spaces. We are very proud of this entirely liveable, comfortable and yet definitively stylish home which our clients tell us they now never want to leave.

Little Venice house extension by DOS Architects
Little Venice is a recently completed house extension by DOS Architects in the very desirable Little Venice neighborhood of West London, England, United Kingdom. The architecturally sensitive building was a Grade II-listed Victorian semi-detached house. The architects brief was "to inject a breath of fresh air into the property while keeping some of the splendid features and character with which our client had fallen in love when first viewing the property," states the architects.
From the architects: This led us to focus our intervention on the lower ground floor, where most of the original features had already been removed by the previous owners. In order to create a more family-friendly space on the lower ground floor, we chose to free up some of the internal partitions and add a rear extension to draw more natural light into the property. The extension, consisting of a high-tech stainless steel frame with glass inserts, became a bold addition to the house that, we believe, further enhances the beauty of both architectures by virtue of their contrasting nature.

Holland Park Avenue in London by DOS Architects
Holland Park Avenue is a beautiful four-story Georgian house that has been updated by DOS Architects in London, England, United Kingdom. At the request of the client, this Grade II listed home was in need of modern updates while at the same time keeping its original quirks while creating a perfect family home – with all the latest creature comforts – which would simultaneously form the ideal backdrop for a truly spectacular art collection. This 5,382 square feet (500 square meters) masterpiece was originally built by a renowned artist, where natural light was at the heart of the construction. "Our aim was to perfectly complement this with cleverly installed and complimentary artificial lighting throughout," states the architects.
Because the facade is untouchable, we set about altering the interior ceiling heights and updating the lay-out and technology throughout. On the top floor, the artist's studio has been transformed into a spectacular master bedroom, featuring the double-height vaulted windows onto the garden below. Our aim was to complement the fantastic art and our client's decor, and judging from the attention this property has since received in the press, we think we did just that.

Spacious Edwardian warehouse in London: Chevron House
Responding sensitively to the existing Edwardian architecture, Chevron House designed by Andy Martin Architects is a new five bedroom family house in a creative suburb of West London, England. Inspired by the architecture of the existing elegantly proportioned spaces, the design sets out to exaggerate, by scaling the space by removing walls, and attaching new space to create a large Edwardian warehouse on each of the three levels. The ground floor, the public level is essentially one space which is divided only by the use of color and material. On the second and third levels, the private floors, bedrooms merge into bathrooms and visa versa.
The rear of the property has new extensions off both the living and kitchen reaching into the garden to absorb the light from the south. The clients brief to use color extensively was applied in such that the walls and ceilings are left light in color (off white) and that only elements or interventions (joinery etc) would be strongly colored giving the house a lighter atmosphere with greater sense of perspective.
The client is a collector of contemporary British art and it was also an important part of the brief for AMA to how one may integrate it within the house.

Notting Hill Flat showcasing stylish modern design
Designer Ebba Thott of Sigmar transforms a Notting Hill Flat for a client who wanted to achieve the feel of 1930′s Vienna, in the fashionable neighborhood of Notting Hill, London, England. This was achieved through a muted grey scale, with dramatic dark woodwork to contrast and plenty of vintage touches. The designer used a blend of Scandinavian modernism and English eclecticism in the interiors—an apt reflection of the far-flung travels of both designer and client (who is an American in London).
In the photograph above, the bookshelf was designed by Sigmar, along with the ladder. It needed to house the owner's large collection of books, as well as accommodate the existing radiators. The backdrop for the interior is various grey shades, while the green and red provide bright accents. The walls and bookshelf are painted in London Cloud from the Damo collection, available at Sigmar. The woodwork is Cocoa, also from Damo.
The designer brings an Old World feel to the entrance hall (reminiscent of those in prewar New York apartment buildings) with the main feature being a vintage Thonet bench upholstered in a checkered black-and-white fabric.
The floor has stone slabs in the middle, which is hard and durable, great for an entrance. The stone is edged with the same oak planks that flow through the rest of the house. The walls are painted in Sure Grey from the Damo collection, available at Sigmar.

"I was inspired by the green in some of the paintings in the client's beautiful and quirky art collection and used it to tie the room together.
The dining room generously opens up to the living room allowing a flow between the rooms. The colours in the two rooms correlate to create a link through the flat. The walls are painted in Sure Grey from the Damo collection, available at Sigmar.
In the bedrooms you can afford to break off from the dark woodwork in the rest of the flat and go for a more traditional white. The walls are painted in London Cloud from the Damo collection, available at Sigmar.

MADISON (WAOW) – A logging company will be billed more than $600,000 for its role in causing Wisconsin's largest forest fire in 33 years, the state Department of Natural Resources said Monday.
Ray Duerr Logging of Rib Lake misled investigators and failed to properly maintain equipment it had available to fight accidental fires, including a pressurized water system on a tree-cutting tool, the DNR said.
"The investigation determined the company's negligence caused the forest fire to start and spread," the DNR said in a statement.
The so-called German Road Fire ignited May 14 in northern Wisconsin and burned nearly 7,500 acres in Douglas County in a 10-mile long, 1.5-mile wide swath, the DNR said.
Forty-seven structures were destroyed, including 17 homes or cabins, the agency said.
A crew for Ray Duerr Logging was cutting trees on industrial timber land when the fire started, the DNR said.
A water system on a cutting tool called a Timberjack 840 had not been pressurized and water only "dribbled out" the day of the fire, the DNR said. The company failed to disclose the existence of the system until nearly a month after the fire, investigators said.
"The logging company officials also said they didn't know if the pressurized water system worked as they had never tested it," the DNR said.
In addition, the fire extinguisher on the cutting tool was manufactured in 2001 and its last annual inspection was in May 2010.
"It appears the fire extinguisher worked mechanically," the DNR said. "However, it is not clear if it was used properly."
Bill Grunewald , an attorney for the logging company, said Monday he had not seen the DNR bills.
"Certainly, we will dispute the responsibility for it (the fire)," the attorney said. "It will be in litigation."
A big name retailer has its eyes on a spot in Wausau, according to city council members.
To one Portage County woman, the Ice Bucket Challenge hits a little closer to home.

Why Single People Hate Dating
When I was deciding whether or not to go to medical school, I distinctly recall telling my Dad that I would happily go through all of the long study days and endless nights on call if I just knew that it would be worth it in the end. And I feel precisely the same way about dating right now - If I knew that the roller coaster of emotions and the self doubt and the awkward dates would lead to someone good in the end, it would be so easy. But as my Dad said years ago, laughing a deep belly laugh that was at once both sympathetic and mocking, "Life just doesn't work that way Solitary".

There is no such thing as "happily ever after." Even for married people.

Sadly true, OMDG. Married people have to work at being happy too!

I love your reference to the Smashing Pumpkins in your label on this post!
I, too, am a happy single person and don't see it changing anytime in the future (near or far). It's great reading your posts because I can completely relate.

I'm sorry. I totally feel your pain. I'm three months into a new relationship, and I'm torn between planning to move in together and holding my breath every time I send a text, because it will definitely be the one that somehow inadvertently triggers a breakup.
I wish I could say each failed relationship was a learning experience, but sometimes it just seems like more baggage. I do always seem to get to a place where I can look back and see that I am better off and even happier without than with the person, but that transition can be rough.
It sounds like you are on the right path. You know your single life is competing with a dream of what if, not a reality. Good luck.

OMDG/Mama D - I'm well aware of that; my comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek. But the absence of "happily ever after" makes me even less inclined to slog through the world of dating.
Not so straightforward path - Thanks for reading and commenting!
MomTFH - Wishing you all the best in your relationship. I wish that the baggage could be avoided somehow...

After ending my first 10 year marriage I dated for a year. I loved it purely for the fodder and laughs it gave me to share with my friends. Then I was tired of it, so I took a year off and just concentrated on myself. That was probably one of the best years of my life! I was able to just concentrate on ME. At the end of that year, I was completely content with who I was, where I was going, and at peace that I most likely would be a alone, as a single mother for the rest of my life. It was at that point I meet Doc H and it worked out perfectly, because for the first time, he was with someone who didn't "need" him and, I , was in a really good place. We both needed all our baggage to appreciate the good things and, not sweat over the inconsequential.
I think it's a learning process and timing. :0)

I hate the Dating Game. Mostly I hate that it turns me into someone not coldly rational like I normally am.
And I hate it when it doesn't end up well. So, I either will have an arranged marriage or I'll just be a wonderfully happy auntie to my best friends' kids and my sister's kids (she wants an arranged husband and six children or something)
- December 9, 2012 at 5:32 PM
- Kate P said...
Yup. I don't hate dating so much as the guessing, uncertainty, and potential for heartbreak (not to mention my tendency to blame myself).
- December 9, 2012 at 7:12 PM
- isandos said...
Ugh, I hear you. I'm always torn between wanting to try a new relationship and wanting to avoid repeat heartache... medicine is stressful enough.
That and I find that after making small talk with patients all day, I have very little energy for attempting first date chatter... turns out it's hard to date when you're not even motivated to take the first step.
- December 9, 2012 at 9:34 PM
- Sharron said...
I hate the whole uncertainty that comes with starting something new and the endless worry about what might or might not happen. Sorry it did not pan out. At the minute I am grateful for my single status, the hours I have been putting in I have not had the time or energy to think about it, sometimes a good thing
- December 10, 2012 at 11:02 AM
- barefootmeds said...
Oh Solitary, I'm sorry. But then again, you don't strike me as feeling sorry for yourself at all, and that is so so good.
Funnily, I am a non-single person who hates dating. The poor boy gets very confused, because whenever we have spent some time apart I become very stand-offish. I like being with him, but I also like my alone-time.
But this isn't about me - and your dad was so right. Life is so strange sometimes, and unpredictable! And you're going about it pretty inspiringly, so keep at it.
- December 10, 2012 at 1:18 PM
- Rhona said...
I feel the same way that is why I don't even bother to date. There is no such thing as a guarantee (in relationships) so I don't it. Too much risk and sorry but my heart is too precious. I LOVE being single and free. It's the best.
- December 11, 2012 at 8:19 PM
- missmccracken said...
new relationships are confusing, and never come with guarantees. This makes me want to scream! I study for everything else in life to succeed, why can't I just study a lot of dating books and know I'm going to ace this?
The only thing that seems to ever work in my favor is 1. having a good hair day and 2. feeling really good about myself (usually a result of good hair day)Then I get positive attention. The rest of the time, I have perfected my ability to become invisible :)
- December 16, 2012 at 9:22 PM
Tell me about it. I like the early phase in relationships where I guess all the hormones and excitement is flying around, but I find troubles start popping up after 4 months. For the first 3 months I'm falling head over heels, so interested, so happy, everything's fun. Then, for instance, around month 4 he decides he's not as bothered about seeing me, and I'm trying to be all cool with it...when I'm really, really not...
Suddenly I realise another person has a hold on my happiness. And how the heck did that happen? Wasn't I just fine before? Why does getting into a relationship make me emotionally dependent on someone else's support, is it like this for everyone else?
:( It blows.
- December 17, 2012 at 2:01 PM
EVERYTHING in life has some sort of risk. And even an arranged marriage doesn't offer a guarantee. I found that the only solution is to keep a level head, but be OPEN to whatever life brings. You never know where you will meet someone'.I met my sweetheart of 3 years in my local library! If I had walked around being shut off or defensive, I would never have met anyone.
- March 17, 2013 at 6:10 PM
There are no guarantees in life, and I don't believe shutting oneself off is the answer. I feel people should be cautious and level -headed, but be OPEN to what life can bring you. I met my sweetheart of three years in my local library. If I had been cynical and defensive I would be alone today. And for the record, don't give up on love. I am 57 years old.
- March 17, 2013 at 6:15 PM
Bless you - and thank-you for your blog. I'm a 43 year old 'confirmed bachelorette' living a very content, active and blessed life. I won't deny that I've had some great past relationships (Cupid and I are not strangers) but I have found that I'm happiest being single. It suits my nature. The key is to be happy wherever you are as you are - at least it is for me.

Summary Details
Minidisc use in field and lab

Computational Linguistics
Several weeks ago I had posted a query about minidiscs: Linguistlist 13.3421.
Users of MDs say they perform well in the field: more durable and reliable than tape players and less prone to scratching than CDs. The small size (very unobtrusive) is also a plus. Motor noise is a problem for some models, but easily worked around.
As for back in the lab. In current models digitizing must be done in real time. Organizing and splicing tracks is easily done.
A big question mark remains with respect to using MD data for acoustic analysis. Several persons gave general warnings about limitations due to the compression algorithm which apparently cuts out some frequencies (don't know which ones) and affects amplitudes thus interfering with analyses. So MDs should be avoided for at least fine acoustic analyses. But until these deficiencies are more precisely described, I cannot rule out using MDs for at least some types (intraspeaker?) of analysis. Perhaps others can respond to this unanswered part of the query.
Thanks to respondents Robin Shoaps, Mark Jones, Lauren Hall-Lew, Mike Cahill, Dennis Preston, Claire Bowern, and Jen Mah.

Continuing the S&A web series kick... here's another one for you all to watch and comment on. It's called The Married Bachelor, a relationship comedy that comes from writer/producer/director Marquis Smalls.
It stars a few names some of you might recognize, like Stephen Hill, Rob Morgan, Anthony Merchant and Marquis Smalls himself, who I met over the weekend at Warrington Hudlin's black cinema townhall discussion at the Museum of the moving Image, here in NYC.
Watch episode 1 below, which is titled, Twit Pic:

Hey the webisode is funny. I'm wondering if you have more episodes that can be viewed online. If you get a chance checkout my website that promote webseries. www.endeeonline.com We feature on upcoming music, models, art, tv/film and business. We would like to improve your viewing online.

Here's another webseries just posted by S&A that reflects how Black women from the NYC (unless they are new to NYC) really carry themselves. http://blogs.indiewire.com/shadowandact/take-a-look-at-the-new-webseries-skinnie-bitches Black Women, actually, most PEOPLE in the city have things to do, people to see...they're about business and culture so these fictional BW throwing themselves at the "brothas", in such a tacky manner, is a BM patriarchal fantasy.
Nadine | December 18, 2011 4:06 PM
o_O .... I don't know... I'm from New York and this kind of looks like BK (ok, just confirmed), so I'm trying to understand why, in episode 3 entitled "Weave", the women sound like they're straight out of a Tyler Perry flick, or Atlanta... The "sisters", at least in NY, do NOT behave this way...what are these writers doing? What were they thinking?
Don Draper | December 18, 2011 12:23 PM
I wasn't going to comment but as a black-Briton I think I'd like to share my perspective on African-American attitudes and entertainment. It hurts us. This 'jive' talking, adulterous, hip-hop culture permeating every facet of life...shtick is fine because it represents the lifestyles of a singular demographic of people and damages the perception of all the others. Therefore, I would have to agree with U of I Alum in the fact that people with differing mindsets and lifestyles must also be represented. (That's the point...read on for reasons!)
This is why Awkward Black Girl has been so popular because the idea of a black person (especially a woman) having a multi-layered personality, being the protagonist of an idiosyncratic rather than moronic/overly sexualised/ignorant character journey and dealing with problems rationally as another drone in a HOMOGENOUS societal culture is such a rarity.
We cannot expect Hollywood or the big/medium/small studios to do this. Mass entertainment must attract the masses and the majority of mass media's viewership in Europe and America (as the main markets) with a significant disposable income are white - that is a statistical reality - and when they do it will be the things that grossly lampoon rather than intellectual satirise. I hate Tyler Perry. I am sorry.
So in my opinion its up to the indy filmmaker and writer to TAKE A MINUTE and think about not WHAT they want to say but HOW to find the most novel way to say it.
I have to admit that it's nice seeing a black couple just talking in a scripted show...lol...which is so weird but true! The black men talking at the coffee shop? Not so much. Yes, men talk about their conquests but the tone of "I gets mine" is way too generic and 'played out' plus not all black people/men talk like that. We have jobs and have conversations about other things that have nothing to do with our dicks and banging baristas that can also be funny and satirical. I commend you for getting your series off the ground, because as a writer in the process myself I know how difficult it is, but I just believe its time for black writers, producers and film makers to have the balls to tell stories outside of their comfort zone, to 'write what they know' and put it in fresher contexts and tones.
It seems a show about a semi-promiscuous 'playa' - Despite the oxymoron derived in using Married and Bachelor...we got that - it seems like a stereotypical character played in a nicer part of town (nice digs, dude!) is one that the rest of the world is already thinking black people are and that they have already seen.
Just my two cents/pence.
James | November 17, 2011 3:48 AM
@careycarey.. wow.. 3 posts in a row.. to bad there's no delete button huh.. Im gonna take all that foaming at the mouth and nut-grabbing to mean that you have something you want to say, but I refuse to wade through all of that disrespectful nonsense to figure out exactly what it is you have to say.. This hip hop battle style of intellectual discourse is for the kids.. And I aint been a kid in quite a while. So, look.. when you settle down and get your thoughts together, hit me back with something substantive and appropriate.. I'll be sure to do the same..
CareyCarey | November 17, 2011 3:06 AM
James, what a tangled web we weave. However, now we are going somewhere, but before we do, lets consider exactly what I've said before we address your spin. 1) I said: "Granted, there ARE movies solely designed to teach a particular subject or move a self serving message ( e.g., Christian Message, Racism, Parenthood, Finance, History, etc) but folks, PLEASE, that IS NOT the goal of every film, nor should it be! If a person wishes to TEACH, do the damn thang, but please, it's woefully unjust ( and quite silly) to vilify a producer for rendering a product (COMEDY) in which some would not use as a teaching tool.
2) Our core knowledge, morals, principles and character are gained by means such as our formal education, but more importantly, it's shaped by going through our 24/7 EXPERIENCES! Those experiences are taking shape from the day we are born by our involvement with our immediate family & friends, people, places and things that we are around - and do - on a CONTINUAL bases, again, from the DAY WE ARE BORN . Come on yawl, if a person gets their interpersonal relationship skills and core knowledge from a film, they are a dope from the jump. The seeds of personal development have been planted and fertilized LOOOONG before we take our seats in a movie theater. So Mr. James, I am suggesting that the list you provided came second. I mean, I will further illustrate why I believe you are missing a very valuable point ( in my next comment) however, I am asking you, which came first, the chicken or the egg? Which came first and what influenced our person's in question, the movies you listed or the above developmental process that I mentioned? What seeds were planted in your ambiguous naive moviegoers who may or may not have seen your movies? You saw the movies what happened to you? You are either a superior human being without character defects ( not like all those other low-lifes who watched those movies) who is not affected by the world around him or YOUR THEORY IS LEAKING. Or maybe you ARE a SuperFly Scarface GangBanging Pimp on the low-low? Consider that before you rally around your theories. Btw, you do know you are standing in quicksand - don't you? Read on my good man.
CareyCarey | November 17, 2011 1:05 AM
And Mr. James , The Reporter Man, the optimum word in constructive criticism is CONSTRUCTIVE! So please, do not confuse nor try to classify all criticisms, vents, hater-aid, BS and porous opinions as constructive criticism. If you do, you might get pimp slapped b/c someone might take you as a zip damn fool whose trying to running drag ( cheap game). Nobody appreciates being taken for granted.
CareyCarey | November 17, 2011 12:11 AM
There were no Crips and Bloods in Little Rock Arkansas before the gang warfare commercial disguised as a film "Colors" came out.. ~ James. Have you ever been in Little Rock? I have. Have you ever been in a gang or been arrested for a serious crime or interviewed a few locked up black men to see how movies have affected their life? Where you raised in a 2 parent home? Did you see any of the movies you listed? How did that work for YOU?! Brother man, brother man, you are starting to sound like a school yard reporter. Look, I say that because I have been on the ground in respect to that subject matter so please do not spout theories to me. The whole drug and gang culture WERE NOT the immediate results of a damn movie. Stop talking about shit you have not lived. YES, I saw Birth of a Nation and Superfly AND Scarface AND Colors. AND?! And how old are you Mr. Theorist Reporter Man? Please, I sure did see the resulting impact on society because I lived it. What about you? I mean, again, why don't you tell us what you believe was the impact b/c I was a young man walking the streets when those movie hit the block. So please stop (you are playing yourself) because tricks are for kids and those who are easily impressed. You are speaking on matters you have only read about. You are talking like a puppet. Bring me the head of the man who said Superfly inspired him to sell dope and pimp women. Bring me the head of the fool who went out and rape his daughter after viewing Precious? Who do you know that acquired a heroin habit after watching Ray? My brotha, my brotha, it's strange that you have only given poruous illustrations of Black Movies to advance your position. Yet isn't it even stranger that there are thousands of White films...THOUSANDS, my man, that depict white people in the most deployable, heinous, filthy, drug scenes, sex scenes, crime scenes and despicable conditions, but yet, I hear silence. Why don't you tell me Mr. Preacherman reporter, how Ted Demmes BLOW affected white society? How about Marin Scorses and The Goodfellas, Alfred Hitchcock & Psyco, Mel Brooks & Men in Tights -huh? Lets continue...Abel Ferrara & Bad Lieutenant, James Wan & SAW I & II to the tenth degree *STOP* Tell me Mr. Junior Ed Bradley, how did those movie influence white society - huh? OOOOH, are you still slightly confused, are you still reading Theory Of The Film by Bela Belazs 1945? Yeah, you said it, WAKE UP! But if you are still writing your college thesis or your nose is still stuck in the air, let me remind you about the following white people in movies. There is Adam Sandler & Deuce Bigalow & Zohan. How about The Hangover, have you seen any of those white people in your neighborhood? Wait a second Mr. Up_On_Everything_There_Is_To_Know_About_Black_Cinema... should we talk about white folks in comedies and how they affect their world? Maybe you are a film student so I am sure you have seen a few white folks in drag - huh? Well, take a walk back. Jack Lemon & Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot. OooWeee, I shiver to think of all the white folks who put on pink panties after watching that film! And damit, there is more. Robin Williams & Mrs. Doubtfire comes to mind. And lawdy , lawdy. I wonder how many white businessmen went looking for a job while wearing a dress after sitting through 2 hours of Ductin Hoffman & Tootsie? Shit, those damn actors and that freaking director of To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything (i.e., Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, John Leguizam) needs their asses kick for teaching and influencing white kids on how to pop that thang to the floor, right? *STOP* Mr. Jesse James, can you now see how you are shooting silly ghost blanks. Besides, game is made to be sold and not told, but your card was peeped when you came in the door. I am not going to call you a shift-shaker nor a ghost buster but this conversation started on the simple fact that Marquis Smalls production is a web series comedy. Then some fools ran up in here preaching to the man about integrity, teaching tools and trash. In short Mr. Psychology 101, you can take that bullshit to a kindergarten sandbox, b/c I know you do not know what the fk you are talking about. At the very least, you have bought into an ideology that you can not support with solid data and reason. Please, you implied that the movies you listed lead to the drug epidemic and gang violence. REALLY!? - where did you get that shit? And Scarface did what?! You need a new kind of drug. Preach to the choir and miss grown folks with your message. Walk the walk brothaman and then come back and holla. Wait, you said you are a writer. Well, heads-up, I am suggesting you should write about something that you know or at least something you have lived through. And then, at least, you can speak from first person. You can tell us how a particular movie inspired you and shaped your values and character. Again, right now, as it stands, as we speak, YOU are shooting blanks Mr. Puppet Man-Reporter Man, Mr. Reader of Bela Belazs 1945. Run out and purchase a little game, or a book on life and a couple of comic books! Opps, comedy and comic books are evil messengers *STOP!*
James | November 16, 2011 8:25 PM
@CAREYCAREY.. you said, "Look, our core knowledge is gained by our formal education, but more importantly it's shaped by going through our 24/7 EXPERIENCES! NOT a damn movie. Those experiences are shaped by our immediate family & friends, people, places and things that we are around - and do - on a continual bases, not a 2 hour damn movie."
So, did you see Birth of a Nation? or Superfly? or Scarface? or Colors? and did you see the resulting impact on society? In fact the bulk of the degrading images of black folks have come through so-called Comedy.. The category of a film makes no difference whatsoever.. Minstrel shows were comedy.. And they were not just insulting.. They actually had an impact on our lives in America. If you don't think people are more influenced by film and television then by school, you dont understand the first thing about Film. And if you are involved in Film and do not understand it's power, you are like a child playing with his father's a loaded 357 Magnum.. And if you don't understand how important constructive criticism is to the development of Art or any other discipline.. good constructive criticism is an act of respect. Asking black folks to just uniformly "support" anything that black folks do without any rights to comment on the content is just lunacy.
"A picture is worth a thousand words".. the saying goes.. how about 30 pictures every second with connections to one another that the mind must interpret along with sound and light effects and volume effects? How many words is that worth? A 2 hour movie is roughly 216,000 images.. that would make a two hour film worth 216 Million words.. wouldn't it?
If you don't think music videos that show cool young black folks smoking dope or drinking alcohol.. with tatoos covering their whole body, talking about selling dope and killing folks has an impact on what is happening in the streets, then you are completely and hopelessly and willfully blind.
Each of those movies I listed had a direct impact on the streets.. on the ways that people thought.. on the way they acted.. There were no Crips and Bloods in Little Rock Arkansas before the gang warfare commercial disguised as a film "Colors" came out.. There were groups protesting that film before it hit theaters because the knew what impact it would have on the nation.. and look what happened right after that film came out.. I don't know how old you are but time in the game is a serious advantage when it comes to recognizing game. Let me end this academically with a quote from a very well respected Film theorist..
"> We all know and admit that film art has the greatest influence on the minds of the general public than any other art. The official guardians of culture note the fact with a certain amount of regret and uneasiness. But too few of us are sufficiently alive to the dangers that are an inevitable consequence of this fact. Nor do we realize clearly enough that we must be better connoisseurs of film if we are not to be as much at the mercy of perhaps the greatest intellectual and spiritual influence of our age as to some blind and irresistible elemental force. And unless we study its laws and possibilities very carefully, we shall not be able to control and direct this potentially greatest instrument of mass influence ever devised in the whole course of human history." - from Theory Of The Film by Bela Belazs 1945.

Brother, if only you had put as much time, thought and effort into creating a quality -- and funny -- web series as you've put into responding to its many critics -- you'd actually have something that would make people eager to see recurring episodes of your web work. Your personal attacks on me? I found 'em laughable; your ignorance of who wrote "Native Son" is predictable; and the shallowness and insignificance of your little man/boy web series -- along with your entire oeuvre (including that god-awful Harriet Tubman fiasco -- her estate should sue!), if you will, as a filmmaker, does not warrant 33 comments (so far) on Tambay's outstanding S & A message board.
Brother, please, I'd suggest continuing to "work your butt" to get there -- because, trust us, and I speak for all your dissenters when I say this: YOU ARE NOT THERE YET!
Marquis | November 15, 2011 10:25 PM
Thanks Tambay and the entire Shadow and Act Team for sharing work from an up and coming writer/filmmaker/showrunner who has worked his butt off to get here. I truly appreciate you all and your support of "our" peoples Art.
Akimbo | November 15, 2011 1:06 PM
No strong feelings on this one. Found it kind of dull, but I'd watch it one more time to get a better sense of what the show is about.
Kentay305 | November 15, 2011 9:10 AM
ummm isnt this the first episode??? We can agree on the content being a bit better but like it or not thats going on today...the same ones running the episode through the coals are digitally flashing their parts to folks as well... glass house people glass house. the couple flashed a bit of chemistry there. they need longer dialog instead of the setup coming from his boys. anyway the clip looks very nice and im hoping to see more of it.
James | November 15, 2011 12:46 AM
Well shot.. Nice and even.. Beautiful browns.. Gutter content though.. Further evidence that many black folks don't understand the power of film.. Nor the way film is used in society. Reminds me of something James Baldwin said, " if something is done to you long enough and well enough, you begin doing it to yourself".. Black folks have been portrayed so poorly. In cinema for so long that we now do us how they once did us.. It really is a shame.
Micah | November 15, 2011 12:05 AM
It's awesome that there is another portrayal of how black people don't believe in marriage or being faithful one bit. A whole table of black men sit down and the only one reason one of them can think of to not cheat on his wife is because the girls might meet.
Aside from that the lines are recycled from every other poorly slapped together "comedy". Most of the acting is barely approaching mediocre.
I could forgive the poor acting and writing if the basic concept wasn't so offensive. (Really no black people on the planet respect their own or other peoples relationships at all. All of us are just chomping at the bit to cheat our significant others with barely any provocation. Not even attempting to fight temptation.)
I could possibly forgive the offensive concept if the writing, directing and acting were clever. If you are going to go down this road at least make it fresh, insightful or clever.
JMac | November 14, 2011 7:09 PM
Looks the video version of the VSB blog, lol. And no, the only women who would like or respond to that mess are in serious need of penicillin and sex abuse counseling. On an unrelated note, was that WH NYC summit the same one some poster tried to knock over others' heads as a badge of superiority on the Django thread?
U of I Alum | November 14, 2011 6:09 PM
This series appears to contain so little substance, I'm compelled to question why they put the effort into it. Are black men really that shallow -- men their ages -- men, period? As a married man, I'm offended by the portrayals -- and will not be supporting this trash!
Please try again. Next!
CareyCarey | November 14, 2011 4:13 PM
alright...they working with somethin. First the script is something most people can relate to. You know, brothas jivin and telling lies about their...ahh...JOHNSONS, and sexual conquests. And on the flip side, women acting all innocent and thangs, pretending that they don't talk about their own sexual journeys... and hunger for sex just as much as dudes. On the acting tip, the actors in this series gets my B. The brotha who played ball in the street shoes (imo) was the smoothest. He seemed the most natural. The brotha who had NOT hit (it) in a while needs a little work on his delivery. His lines did not seem to come from his comfort zone. Lastly, the writing was good, yet the editing was a little rough on the edges (the transitions were somewhat abrupt) but overall, the series appears to have a nice entertainment and laugh quotient.

MECHANICSBURG, Ohio (AP) - An Ohio man's family is fulfilling his dying wish - to be buried astride his beloved Harley-Davidson motorcycle. But it hasn't been easy. The project required an extra-large cemetery plot to accommodate a Plexiglas casket for Billy Standley and his 1967 Electra Glide cruiser. Embalmers prepared his body with a metal back brace and straps to ensure he'll never lose his seat. Standley's family said he'd been planning it for years. He said he didn't just want to ride off to heaven, he wanted the world to see him do it in a see-through casket. His sons began fashioning it about five years ago. The Dayton Daily News reports that 82-year-old Standley of Mechanicsburg, west of Columbus, died of lung cancer Sunday. He was to be buried Friday. (Copyright 2014 The Associated Press.

[Q:]I read your article Books to Study Before Going to Graduate School in Economics and saw that you mentioned something called real analysis. What do you learn in a real analysis course? What do you need to know before you take a real analysis course? Why is taking a real analysis course helpful if youre planning to do graduate work in economics.
[A:]Thanks for your great questions.
We can get a feel for what is taught in a real analysis course by taking a look at a couple of real analysis course descriptions. Heres one from Margie Hall at Stetson University:
- Real analysis is a large field of mathematics based on the properties of the real numbers and the ideas of sets, functions, and limits. It is the theory behind calculus, differential equations, and probability, and it is more. A study of real analysis allows for an appreciation of the many interconnections with other mathematical areas.
- Real Analysis is an enormous field with applications to many areas of mathematics. Roughly speaking, it has applications to any setting where one integrates functions, ranging from harmonic analysis on Euclidean space to partial differential equations on manifolds, from representation theory to number theory, from probability theory to integral geometry, from ergodic theory to quantum mechanics.
To be comfortable in a real analysis course, you should have a good background in calculus first. In the book Intermediate Analysis John M.H. Olmstead recommends taking real analysis fairly early in ones academic career:
- ...a student of mathematics should properly begin to make his acquaintance with the tools of analysis as soon as possible after the completion of the first course in calculus
- Topics covered in real analysis, such as differential equations and probability theory are used extensively in economics.
- Graduate students in economics will commonly be asked to write and understand mathematical proofs, skills which are taught in real analysis courses.
- In particular the student should be encouraged to prove (in full detail) statements which previously he has been persuaded to accept because of their immediately obviouness.
I wish you the best of luck in your preparations for graduate school!

During today's press conference, head coach John Harbaugh insinuated that McGahee's eye injury may have been inflicted intentionally during the Baltimore Ravens 28-10 win over the Cleveland Browns. He also stated that the Ravens submitted the incident to the league for review. The following are Harbaugh's comments on the matter:
Have you talk to the league about the thing that occurred with Willis? Because, someone had to do something for that to occur.
We did. We sent it in and we talked to the league. We asked them for their opinion on what happened and we are waiting to hear back on it.
Does [McGahee] know who did it?
Yes, it's on the tape.
Did he see who did it?
Yes. There were two instances. So, it was two different guys.
Was [Andra] Davis one of them?
I don't know if we should say.
Could you tell if it was blatant or intended?
I really don't want to comment on it, but you can see it on the tape.
I know that we are all thinking about the Steelers game here, but this news really disturbed me. I hate to think that players are intentionally trying to injury each other. Obviously, there are no facts yet, but this definitely sounds like a couple of Brown's players are about to be suspended. Does anyone remember the Albert Haynesworth incident from last year?

The following is a press release from the Missoula City-County Health Department:
As of 4 p.m. Friday, air quality in Missoula, Frenchtown and Seeley Lake is Good to Moderate. Today's warm temperatures did a nice job keeping smoke up and out of our breathing space.
However, despite relatively low particulate concentrations, you can smell the smoke in the in air, and there's a smudgy haze on the horizon. The West Mullan fire is still actively burning and growing near Superior. The fire doubled in size yesterday and will likely continue to be a player in Missoula's smoky situation.
The Gold Creek fire is also still burning north of Missoula, and it has sent some smoke to the Seeley Lake area.
We also have a new contender that flared up in Idaho yesterday: the California Point fire is burning in the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness, and has already sent smoke into the Bitterroot. We will likely continue to see more smoke from the California Point fire for many days to come. The fire is being monitored, but due to its remote location and the very dry conditions, it will likely burn unchecked for the near future.
If the smoke behaves at all like the Idaho fires did last year, we will all become very familiar with Idaho smoke.
Late afternoon/evening is still the most likely time we will see smoke from these fires. The West Mullan smoke is headed straight for us, today, but it should stay overhead until temperatures cool. Likewise, the California Point fire has likely spent the day building up a column of smoke that will eventually move over the Bitterroot and/or Missoula valleys and fall into our breathing space as temperatures cool.
If smoke does reenter the valley, local conditions may become Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups. Residents should monitor their reactions to the smoke and limit exposure/physical exertion if they are sensitive to the smoky conditions.
