We're only two days past Labor Day, and dense morning fog has caused some schools to use their first calamity day.
Many who send their kids to Evergreen Local Schools turned 13abc on, this morning to read their school's name on the closing list at the bottom of the screen. They could hear Blizzard Bill Spencer explain, "With fog, it varies. One spot, it's down to practically zero visibility, other spots, you've got one to two miles."
Fog caused 109 local school districts to have at least a delay this morning.
22 districts closed today.
Most of them were between Toledo and the Indiana line.
We spoke with Phil Schwan, a father of students at the Evergreen Local Schools. He told us, "The fog was pretty thick. I mean, it was hard to see the houses just across the street out where we live, just west of Lyons. We weren't too surprised. We have had cancellations for less fog than this before."
Some schools were closed, but sledding was not an option.
We asked Phil's kids how they were spending the day, and relaxing, reading books and video games were the answers.
The fog did clear, eventually.
"We're going to the track to run for a little bit," one of the children told us.
The decision to delay or cancel is not an easy one.
"It's very challenging," Jim Wyse, the Superintendent of Evergreen Local Schools said. "We have a very long district, and to try to determine how bad the fog is in various parts of the district, I start to drive through the district around five o'clock and make phone calls.... We got a delay out, and we were hoping we could go, after a two hour delay, but it wasn't the case. Around 8:00 when we had to make our final decision, probably half of our district, the northern half, was pretty severe. We ended up canceling.... In this case, it looked like it was going to lift, but it settled back in, so I think we made the right call."
He says it's best to err on the side of safety.

Sales of Canon compact cameras fell 26% worldwide from April-June 2013 in volume terms (year-on-year) but demand for the EOS 5D Mark III and EOS 6D DSLRs continued to grow and the EOS 700D 'proved popular' in Japan over the three months.
'As for digital compact cameras, sales volume declined from the previous year due to the market slowdown and increasing popularity of smartphones,' states Canon.
The firm says this was 'despite efforts to increase sales through the introduction of new products such as the PowerShot SX280 HS – equipped with a high-magnification zoom lens that exceeds the capabilities of lenses offered by smartphones'.
Total camera sales revenue rose 0.8%, while Canon's inkjet printer sales jumped 17.3% despite a 3% drop in units sold.
On the future of its camera business, Canon points to a 'sense of a slowdown in China and Europe', adding that its future priority will be on 'profitability'.
Operating profit at Canon's Imaging System Business Unit fell 17.5% for the first six months of 2013, compared to a year earlier.
In a statement accompanying its latest business results, the company adds: 'Demand for interchangeable-lens digital cameras is expected to continue growing, owing to an expanded user base in developed countries along with market growth in emerging countries.'
In the UK, meanwhile, Canon reports that it came top in photo and video sales for the six months to June, in both volume and value terms, and was also 'number one' in compact cameras.
According to figures Canon says it received from market analysts GfK – which GfK would not confirm when approached by AP yesterday – Canon led the market in digital interchangeable-lens cameras and compacts for the month of June.
Separately, news agency Reuters reports that Canon has cut its interchangeable-lens camera sales target to 9 million, from 9.2 million previously. However, Canon UK was not able to confirm this to AP.

Brian's actual 2008 stats:
ERA: 4.62 IP: 62.1 K: 67 BB: 28 HRA: 7 Saves: 41
On March 19, Grant asked us for predictions about Brian Wilson's 2008 season. I thought I'd see how we did.
Twenty-one McCovenites gave their predictions; our average prediction was as follows (with Wilson's actual stats in bold):
Saves: 35 41
Other than ERA, I'd say Brian slightly outperformed our expectations.
Individually, we all guessed much lower on Wilson's ERA; xanthan came the closest with his prediction of 3.70, followed by jasomack with 3.65.
Innings pitched guesses ranged from 45 (EliminateMe) to 78 (jasomack), with rock n jock correctly predicting 62.1. Honorable mention goes to Grant and Scottsdale with 62 each, and groug with 63.
Strikeouts ranged from 83 (daveinexile) to 45 (EliminateMe), with BaronVonCurrentEvents correctly foreseeing 67.
Walk predictions went from a low of 15 (JRPhillips) to a high of 83 (daveinexile). Our only exact prognosticator was redseal with 28 - although note that we all averaged a correct guess of 28. Grant, Little Napolean, and rock n jock all guessed 29.
Home runs allowed varied from a low of 1 (zenbitz) to a high of 8 (daveinexile, EliminateMe, rock n jock). Scottsdale and NeifiChicken both correctly guessed 7.
Not everyone guessed a save chances total, so I'll list only guesses for actual saves; they ranged from a low of 6 (JRPhillips, who didn't think this team would have many save opportunities) to a high of 70 (zenbitz, possibly with tongue firming planted in typing finger??). Baron's 40 and Lyle's 42 came closest to the actual total of 41.
Overall, just eyeballing the guesses, I'd say that Baron, Lyle, redseal, and rock n jock came the closest overall. Again, we all widely underestimated the ERA.
Please feel free to brag away! If anyone finds this at all interesting, let me know - maybe I'll do some more of these as we count down the long, dark days until we hear those four magical words: "Pitchers and catchers report."

While watching the Nevada vs California game last night, a sudden thought dawned on me. It was like a realization hit me square in the face, and all of a sudden I could see exactly what our braintrust is trying to do. more after the jump
If you've never watched Nevada play, then do yourself a favor and catch them at some point this year. The offense they run is down right prolific. Now, part of this is because of the system they use which, if you watched the Bills game last week, you would recognize as the "Pistol Offense". This is an offense that was created by Chris Ault, the head coach of Nevada. Chan Gailey was the first to bring this style of offense to the NFL, employing it when he was in Kansas City in 2008 with Tyler Thigpen as his qb. Here are some qualities we know that Chan Gailey and Buddy Nix look for in a qb, based on their history and comments they've made since January.
Chan's checklist
- Loves quaterbacks that are mobile
- Loves accurate quarterbacks
- Loves quarterbacks that can read defenses
- Loves the pistol offense and qbs who can run it (see our first game and the offense he employed in 2008 with Tyler Thigpen)
Buddy's checklist
- Quarterback must be a proven winner and can display that over a large body of work (think Phillip Rivers, 50 something career college starts, mvp of bowl games)
- Must display he has a strong arm to battle the Buffalo winds
So based on these qualities, what quarterback makes more sense then Colin Kaepernick? He is 6'6'' and one of the most mobile qb's in college football today. He posseses great speed and elusive in his running approach. He litteraly glides like a gazzelle on the field with the long leg strides he takes. He's in his 5th year of running the pistol offense at Nevada, and could potentially make a seemless transition into the pro game if we were to run this style offense. He is almost as athletic as Kordell Stewart, but posesses a way more accurate arm and better arm speed. I sat on my couch litteraly laughing out loud thinking about this possibility as Nevada was taking Cal out behind the woodshed in Reno last night.
Colin also posseses a ridiculously strong arm, as he was recruited by MLB and would have been drafted if not for the fact they knew he was going to play college football. He was routinely clocked at 94 mph on the radar gun, and at a college camp this past summer, he had an impressive showing, drawing praise from various NFL and ESPN personel including former NY Giants QB Jesse Palmer who said of Kaepernick, "By far, the strongest arm in the camp".
The writing is on the wall guys, I dont see any way were not drafting him next year. Try to watch as many Nevada games as you can this year and get a feel for his game. You'll definitely like what you see out there. He litteraly looks like a man among boys on the field, and with a little coaching, I believe could be a dangerous NFL qb.

I just came across this link this morning. Looks like Doug will be done for the year with a torn labrum in his shoulder. Here is the link:
I am sad to see this happen. Tampa Bay has a coach that has run Doug into the ground. The injury occurred on a deep fade route into the end zone. Why he would run that play with his 5'9" pro bowl back remains a mystery. I hope Doug has a speedy and full recovery so that he can return next year with a new coaching staff, and hopefully a QB who can take some pressure off the running game.

The Tragedy of Venezuela
Moises Naim, The Atlantic
The Associated Press
"Even in tragedy, Latin America can't compete," a cynical friend told me. He was referring to the fact that the region's poverty is not as grim as Africa's, armed conflicts not as threatening as Asia's, and terrorists not as suicidal as the Middle East's. The problems in Latin America are often overshadowed by those in the rest of the world. Elsewhere, tragedies are more serious and more likely to spill over into other countries.
The shocking images of repression in the streets of Caracas are at a disadvantage when compared with the scenes in Kiev, where most international media and political attention is currently focused.

Did Callie Long see Brett Walrath the night she is accused of hitting him while driving drunk? That's the question that expert testimony tried to answer as jurors sat in on day four of the Callie Long intoxication manslaughter trial. Walrath died five months after the accident.
Reconstruction has been a major piece of the puzzle for the Callie Long case. Attorneys claim police did not secure the scene or finish the investigation. That leaves lawyers on both sides to rely on their accident reconstruction experts as to what happened on August 24, 2003.
The defense relief on a forensic engineer for expert testimony. The engineer claims intoxication did not cause the accident. He says the inability to see caused the accident. He conducted studies that showed the lighting was poor and the night was pitch black, leaving no driver the time to react to a bicyclist in the street.
The prosecution presented an expert on accident reconstruction. His studies show a driver could see the pedals of the bicycle moving up to 500 feet and could see the entire bicycle within 200 feet. Both experts tried to find a night with similar lighting to conduct their tests to eliminate some of the subjectivity. During questioning, both experts were asked about who was paying them for their studies and testimony. The defense expert said he was paid $30,000 from Outback Steakhouse while the prosecution's expert has been paid $8,000 by Charles Dunn, both involved in the $32 million civil case that will be heard in June.
As far as the police investigation, both lawyers are looking for an ex-Lubbock police officer, Alan Davis, who has been subpoenaed to appear in court, but has not shown or contacted either side stating his whereabouts.

Call of Duty: Ghosts (My theory)
My theory for Call of Duty: Ghosts...
The rumour is, the game is set in the future, but they are forced to use current day weapons.
My theory is, that a massive attack is made against the United States (and other "western" countries), which knocks out electronics and communications, therefore breaking up the military and making it easier to wipe them out.
Ghost survives after MW2 but goes into rehab/hiding. When the events of Call of Duty: Ghosts happens, he comes back, gathering up surviving soldiers into a vigilante/militia style group named after himself:
The Ghosts
This falls inline with the just released teaser (embedded above), where the voice over describes why people wear masks; to protect themselves, to show who they stand for and to give hope to their followers...
"The Ghosts" will fight the enemy, probably using stealth and guerrilla tactics and be a beacon for other survivors to fight back.
The game's going to be announced the same day as the next xbox,where I will be smug as hell if I am right ;)

Hi Guys and Gals! Given the (very appropriate) abundance of conversation regarding officiating lately, I figured I'd launch of another FanPost to give us a place to vent and deliberate.
Anyone watch 24/7 Capitals Penguins on HBO this past December? One of the interesting sidenotes to that show was seeing how the refs interact with the players and each other. They are hockey guys, and they aren't afraid to get down and dirty with players; there are no Ivory Towers for them. Most important, you see why they are professionals: they communicate effectively.
If a guy is standing in front of the net, the refs would tell the defensemen, "You can hit him between here and here. If he backs into the crease, you can give him a big ole whack... but anything else and that'll get you two minutes." They are vocal in the middle of the play and after the play, letting guys know what they're seeing.
It's not a direct quote, but it's the idea.
Does anyone have any idea how the College Basketball Officials communicate with the players during the game? I don't seem to see much interaction between players and officials, and I don't see how that's a good thing.
The only thing I see out of officials in the atrocious double hip-tap & shuffle then emphatic POINT dance move they've perfected for charges.
Please, discuss!

Welcome to the new SEIKO!
Visitors to the Hall of Dreams at this year's Baselword exhibition will be met with a strikingly bold new sight, The Cube. This all-new stand has been designed not only to provide a suitably prestigious setting for SEIKO's new collections, but also to express the essence of SEIKO as a brand and as a watch manufacturer.
Viewed from afar, the stand presents a striking and sharply angled white profile. As the visitor approaches, he or she will see that the tall white rectangles of the exterior enclose a corridor, accessible from both ends of the stand, along which are showcases containing more than 50 new designs drawn from all new SEIKO collections, all of which are presented to the world for the first time at Baselworld 2008. The corridor is called the Crystal Canyon, with no less than 40,000 crystals lining its walls which rise nine meter into the air.
Once the visitor has passed along the Crystal Canyon, a new vista presents itself. The bright light and confined width of the canyon gives way to an open space whose walls are lined with rock, from the floor to the full height of the hall itself. The feeling is one of awe and yet, at the same time, of peace. The space is impressive but welcoming and SEIKO's guests will be able to explore the new collection at their leisure in this remarkable atmosphere.
The design of the stand reflects the character of SEIKO. The simplicity and impact of the rectangular exterior expresses the clarity of SEIKO's vision. Innovation and Refinement are blended together in this impressive façade and the single, small showcase cut into the exterior angle provides an opportunity to see these values embodied in one single watch.
The inner strength of SEIKO, its expertise in every area of the watch manufacturer's art, is captured in the drama of the Stone Square. Just as every SEIKO watch, Spring Drive, mechanical, Kinetic or quartz, has strength at its core in a movement of world-leading technology, so the new SEIKO stand has at its center the Stone Square expressing the strength of the brand by solid rock.
The new stand is also a study in contrasts. The immensity of the exterior contrasts with the intimacy of the interior. The white and simple exterior finds its counter-point in the organic materials of the inner court. These differences are brought together in harmony by the design of the stand, just as the many different skills that SEIKO brings to bear in its watchmaking are blended together into every individual timepiece. In this way, the orchestration of differences, which is at the heart of SEIKO's DNA, is also reflected in the design of the new stand.
The stand was designed in Japan in a collaborative project between SEIKO's own in-house designers and a leading design firm specializing in displays, stands and exhibitions. The new SEIKO stand, The Cube, also features the Atrium lounge and the Sky Room, luxuriously appointed spaces designed to welcome a record number of visitors for meetings or a brief moment of relaxation.

This past January, Sabotage Times wrote an excellent article about the Quentin Tarantino Universe – a parallel world to our own but with slight differences. The article went on to break down how all of Tarantino's films connect to create this remarkably violent universe and how all the characters connect from film to film. You can read it in full here: http://sabotagetimes.com/reportage/keeping-it-on-the-qt-the-theory-of-the-hidden-tarantino-universe/
In addition, one of my favorite go to sites every morning, Cracked.com, published an article about overlapping fictional universes that included the Tarantinoverse at the top of their list: http://www.cracked.com/article_19323_6-movie-tv-universes-that-overlap-in-mind-blowing-ways.html
These articles, which I came upon both today, brought to mind my own process for writing, that is – not by individual story, but by small segments of much larger stories that exist in massive parallel worlds. I am not sure what the process is for most writers, whether successful storytellers or not. What I can attest to is that since I started screenwriting back in high school, I have been writing for several specific universes and haven't really moved away from them. In fact, if anything, I've made it a point to focus my creative energy into strengthening the universes I do write for. I find it to be a phenomenally helpful mechanism to maintaining integrity and continuity in a story, at least at the subconscious level, and allow for a set of rules to create by, that the viewer or reader will recognize in one way or another. Today I will discuss the two universes I primarily write in, to help illustrate the concept as it pertains to my own work (since this is the work I know the best).
The first three movies I made: Sixteen Stories, Hero For A Day and The Long Island Project, in my mind, have all taken place in the same universe. I call this Universe 1, or more personally: the EzzieVerse. This is because it includes a lot of recurring themes and characters, at least in early incarnations of the stories, that link the events in the stories together. More specifically, a character named Ezzie, who at this point, has only appeared in Sixteen Stories. Some of my experimental work has made it into Universe 1 as well: Spuyten Duyvil and Croton Falls come to mind. These aren't the only produced films that take place in Universe 1, there are several others that have been developed that fit there in addition to projects still in development. A direct sequel to Sixteen Stories, a direct sequel to Hero For A Day and an adaptation of a story my brother in law wrote called The Harbinger, which I acquired the rights to back in 2000. As far as The Harbinger goes, the source material has absolutely nothing to do with Universe 1, but was a cataloging mechanism so that I understood the mindset I was to be in whenever I went to work on it. In an early draft of the screenplay it went as far as to include some characters from Sixteen Stories. As a result of The Harbinger falling into this particular universe, a film I recently made called Lipstick Lies also falls into this realm. It wasn't intentional that it would but it makes sense because when it went into production, it was done so with the idea that it would tie into The Harbinger when I finally got around to producing it. Hence the title at the end of the film "The Answers Lies In Boston". There is much more to the story than could be told in 20 minutes and I intend to tell the rest of it when I get around to making The Harbinger. It was almost by default that a film I would produce in 2012 and screen in the festival circuit in 2013, would play out in a universe I haven't touched for quite a few years now.
While it more or less started out as a mechanism to allow myself to mentally catalog where each of these films belong in my overall gamut of work, the task of separating stories by universe has since extended its usefulness to helping me keep track of all the projects I currently have in development. What makes a universe so specific? What makes it call for one story to be included but not another? Why is it that a bunch of films from one era of my life exist in one universe, but a bunch of films that were produced in another era of my life exist in another? This is what I've been thinking about all day, in working to figure out how to tackle this article. I have few conclusions, which is a good thing as it means I have a reason to keep working on projects. The more projects I work on, the closer I come to a conclusion. I think a part of it might be that a universe can exist for each phase of my life, to coincide with my world view – or the way I perceive reality… so to speak. In some instances, perhaps it coincides with what I want reality to be. So with that, I introduce you to Universe 2 – a bit more fantastic than Universe 1.
I have no nickname for this universe. This is where the majority of my science fiction and fantasy work exists, at an alarming scale. We're not just in indie film territory now either, but novels, short stories, some feature films but also television shows that are still in development and a medium length film called Caroline of Virginia. While all the characters and stories are seemingly different from one another – they are all written with the same overall universe in mind. Fictional global events that might take place in one story, may be referenced as historical fact in another. Published stories that exist within Universe 2 include Paradigm Shift, The Balance of the Seventh Column (both novellas) in addition to a few exercises that have resulted in the outlining of some serious projects. I have a two part feature film that is by all real definition a standalone franchise – clearly exists in this same universe as a developing television series that it seemingly has absolutely nothing to do with. The connections are minor – if that. For the most part, the stories' affiliation with Universe 2 are merely rules for me to consider when I take into account an action or major plot twist. I have to keep in mind that in a specific universe, if a character makes a decision that affects the world on a global scale, how would it impact the other stories? Most of the time the characters' decisions won't affect the other stories, not unless they're set in the same town and time period. This is the only time a true crossover might occur.
I think that when most writers try to break apart other filmmakers' work to dissect and work out the connections of all the various movies that could exist in a single universe, most of the time they're finding coincidences. Sometimes screenwriters recycle old material, specifically names that they like. I suspect many of the circumstances that have been written in regards to the work of Tarantino, might be coincidental – or at least, started out as coincidence. However there are obviously blatant attempts to maintain a constant universe, like in the work of Kevin Smith and his "Viewaskewniverse". Most of the time though, I suspect that writers cannibalize scripts that they no longer intend to produce. I have done this on a recent project, by cannibalizing a script that was set in Universe 1 to work in a story designed for the more complex (and profoundly amazing) Universe 2. This is the only possible way I could knowingly allow any kind of crossover, it needs to involve complete removal of the story from the previous universe – no echos of any kind.
For my upcoming film The Spaceship, which exists in Universe 2, I found that before going into principle photography, I had to redevelop the script to be set within the maritime community of Staten Island. I was moving the setting, which was originally suppose to be rural Pennsylvania. For the task of re-writing The Spaceship for Staten Island, I used an old screenplay called The Inequity. The Inequity was more of a horror comedy, which existed within Universe 1. It was a spin off of Sixteen Stories and included two characters from that specific movie. I essentially took all the unique, genre-esq scenes I had developed for The Inequity and wrote them into The Spaceship – along with a few minor characters and pacing mechanisms that had not previously been used in any of my writing. As a result, the shooting script for The Spaceship was the first ever meshing of two different universes – two universes I previously wouldn't have considered mashing up. It worked out beautifully.
So what is the difference between Universe 1 and Universe 2 as far as the ground rules go? If I had to pinpoint it to a specific definition, I would say the rules lie in the physics and general belief structure of each universe. Universe 1 isn't fantastic – in fact it's the drab that we all know real life can be. There are a few stories that introduce fantastic ideas to them, like in The Harbinger, but the end result being that our main characters are punished for it. Many of the characters in Universe 1 are not good people and those that are seem to be doomed in some way or another. The few good people that make out well, do so with great sacrifice. Universe 1 is the world we do not want to live in and that makes it a fascinating setting for stories that dabble into the darker side of our world, the socioeconomic issues or controversial character studies. What have you.
Universe 2 is the opposite – it's fantastic and amazing… anything goes and anything is possible. Can't pay for coffee? I'm sure there's a wizard right around the corner with magic coffee beans. Universe 2 has all around good people with truly good intentions, people with open minds and are more likely to change for the better. Universe 2 has bad guys with truly bad intentions and the definition between good and evil is clear. This is the universe designed to appeal to everyone, whereas Universe 1 was designed for my own personal use. Although the appearance and cultures of Universe 2 seem to parallel with Universe 1, the fact of the matter is that much much more is possible in Universe 2 on almost every single level: interstellar space flight, inter dimensional travel, time travel, love between unlikely characters, alien visitation… the universe of adventure, intrigue and absolute imagination. Another interesting fact about the two different universe' is that most of the main characters in Universe 1 die at the end while most of the main characters in Universe 2 survive. A fascinating and defining coincidence.
Thanks for letting me talk about my process for a bit. Please use the comments section to discuss your creative process. Do you subscribe to the multiverse idea?

An online education program for nurses is helping improve the care and support of patients with metastatic bowel cancer.
When bowel cancer has spread to organs such as the liver or lungs, treatment options often focus on preventing further spread of the disease and maintaining quality of life rather than an attempt to cure.
The mCRC:CARE program covers a range of physical, psychological, social and emotional issues associated with the management of advanced bowel cancer.
Importantly, the program offers perspectives on improving communication with patients and empowering them in their decision making.
Specific topics include managing the side effects on advanced disease and its treatment, bowel dysfunction, stoma care and sexual function.
The program is endorsed by the Royal College of Nursing Australia as part of its Life Long Learning Program for nurses and supported by Roche Products.
mCRC:CARE is one of many professional development opportunities for health professionals in the area of bowel cancer.

Co-production markets between African filmmakers and European production houses/financiers certainly aren't new. Several films we've covered on this site were made under like agreements; like Viva Riva!, for example - which was a Congolese, French, Belgian and South African co-production, funded by Canal Plus and Belgium's film fund.
This year, with support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) of the Swiss Foreign Ministry, the Locarno Film Festival's Open Doors co-production mart will focus on Sub-Saharan African countries that weren't included in last year's event.
This initiative focuses on a different region every year and operates in two modes: First, the Open Doors Co-production Lab brings professionals from the chosen regions together with potential partners, mostly from Europe, to foster support for projects that would otherwise be difficult to complete. Every year, following a call for submissions, the Festival selects a dozen new projects from the chosen region and at the end of the workshop, the winning projects receive either development or production support.
Second, in order to introduce the Festival audience to the cinematographic and cultural landscape of the chosen region, a number of films are chosen each year to be part of the Open Doors Screenings, a non-competitive section of the Festival.
Since its inception, Open Doors has showcased projects from Cuba and Argentina, countries in the Mekong, the Maghreb, South-East Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand), the Near and Middle East (Mashrek), Latin America, Greater China, central Asia, India, Sub-Saharan francophone Africa and the South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia).
In 2014, Open Doors will welcome again film projects from Sub-Saharan Africa: this time the Lab will focus on all countries, which were not included in the 2012 edition.
Eligible countries are: Angola, Botswana, Cape Verde, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, São Tomé and Príncipe, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe.
Deadline for submission is March 3rd, 2014.

Last year at Locarno a wonderful documentary aimed at kids was shown: On the Way to School. It follows children in four countries on their difficult, often harrowing walks to school. The brother and sister in Kenya walked over 18 kilometers each way, every day dodging elephants and bandits. If you have the chance to see this take all the kids you know. They will never complain about walking to school again.

Skyrim:Lost Echo Cave
|# of Zones
|Respawn Time
|10 days or 30 days
|Min: 8
|Falmer, Chaurus
|Console Location Code(s)
|Falkreath Hold
|Far west of Solitude
South of Steepfall Burrow

Lost Echo Cave is a Falmer-infested cave near the northwestern coast of Haafingar.
At first sight the cave seems to consist of just two rooms. The second room includes a copy of the One-handed skill book 2920, Morning Star, v1. There is also a ceremonial brazier which can be activated by burning a glowing mushroom in it. This opens up a hidden door. The mushrooms can be found growing on the cave walls.
Further exploration reveal a few Falmer and chaurus. Chaurus eggs are readily available from the many egg sacs scattered around. The body of an Imperial and a bandit can be found in one of the Falmer tents. The end of the cave has a handle which activates yet another hidden door, leading back to the main area. There is also a quicksilver ore vein located to the right of the Falmer hut.

[edit] Bugs
- Although Lost Echo Cave is physically located within the borders of Haafingar hold, in the game data this cave is identified as being within Falkreath Hold. This means that you may be sent here as part of Falkreath quests, but not as part of Haafingar quests.

What do you think of Chris Pine as Kirk
What do you think of Chris Pine's Kirk and why
I liked him, I thought he was very believable. He certainly had the charm and charisma of Shatner, but in his own way. I liked the fact that he made the character his own. I look forward to seeing him in the sequel and whether his character changes slightly with more experience, as you definitely get the impression in this film that he is beginning to mature and accept the weight of the responsibility that comes with being Captain. :)
i liked chris pine played as kirk. he played kirk pretty close to shatner i thought and that energy, drive that we expect in kirk to be a leader and captain. i'm really looking forward seeing pine play kirk again and calling pine for now on James T. Kirk cause that's who he is now.
I liked Chris Pine's interpretation of Kirk. Swash-buckling, confident, a womanizer. Take that, Picard!
When I first saw the movie poster with Chris' face-down, eyes-forward leer, I thought, man, this oughta be good. Happily, I was right.
Yes he needs to act more like captain do you think so
Pine is Kirk. I'm glad we got to see what made Kirk who he is before he went to Starfleet. It helped me understand why Kirk is who he is, and now I like him all the better.
Pine is Kirk.
But Shatner is Kirk too.
I think we've now reaching the point where we can regard Kirk in the same light as James Bond with people might be able to identify more with the character than the actor who plays him.
That being said, I think Pine did a great job in capturing the essence of Kirk. Pine's Kirk grew up differently than Shatner's Kirk--which was an ambitious overachiever from the start, IMO--and became a "bad boy" much earlier in life than he did originally.
I agree with what everyone else here said. I do hope he keeps a significant amount of that wild attitude, but has it tempered both by maturity and by Spock. I think that would be an excellent way to move into developing the relationship between Spock and Kirk as we see Spock sort of reigning Kirk in a bit more.
Pine did a fantastic job managing to be like Shatner's Kirk but also his own Kirk at the same time. It was a hard job to pull off and he did it.
Chris Pine is perfectly cast as a young, arrogant Kirk. Pine has embodied Kirk's rebellious, loyal and sexy character perfectly. Long may he reign. :D

Did anyone else have a problem trying to get tickets this morning? I started calling and trying to access the Cubs site for tickets at 9:00 a.m. MST, only to either end up in the virtual waiting room, get kicked out DURING my transaction (this happened FIVE TIMES to me) or while dialing getting a constant busy signal or have the automated line hang up while in mid-spiel. I know demand is high, but this was ridiculous.
After over an hour, I finally got through and got the tickets I wanted, but not before finding out there was a three game maximum per order (I did not see that admonition anywhere) and also having the automated system put me on eternal hold while it confirmed my identification. While on this particular hold, I accessed the Internet and was able to complete my order as the demand had apparently receded. But all in all, my experience was a complete clusterf*ck. Sorry for the language, but my anger is compounded by the fact I was trying to do all this at work and had other things I really should have been doing. I finally got semi-decent seats to four games, two tickets each, in Sections 203 (2 games), 205 and 209, but what pisses me off is one time I was kicked out after selecting my tickets I had seats in 106 for two of the games. I know there's time limit in each part of the ordering process, but I hadn't exceeded it. A message would flash that they were having trouble accessing the Cubs' ticketing system and I would have to start over. What a stupid, frickin', stinking mess.

Advertisers being courted by YouTube with video ads
April 23, 2007
Google has created a new advert format for its YouTube video sharing website.
Google revealed on Friday that broadcasters and other content producers are working with Google on 30-second "pre-roll" ads to appear before content is viewed on YouTube.
The ads will start appearing next year, and revenue will be shared between YouTube and the broadcaster.
A Google spokesman said that 2008 will see "real money coming in" from video advertising.
YouTube copyright protection system coming soon
April 17, 2007
Apparently Google is very near to launching a filtering service that would prevent copyright content from being uploaded to YouTube, CEO Eric Schmidt said yesterday.
The new system, which he called Claim Your Content, will automatically identify copyright material so that it can be removed. Judging from that it would seem copyright owners will have to go to YouTube to register and stake their claim to the content before it is removed, if I'm correct in that assertion that may not be enough for copyright owners.
Schmidt said that they are 'very close' to turning the functionality on…
Autonomy help big media take aim at YouTube…
April 5, 2007
Autonomy, the firm who make excellent search and data mining products have announced a new extension to their video search and management tool Virage. Virage Automatic Copyright Infringement Detection, or ACID for short, enables copyright owners such as broadcasters, production houses and publishers to maintain control of their Intellectual Property by automating the detection of illegal distribution of copyrighted material on the Internet.
Autonomy say: Using Autonomy's unique Meaning-Based Computing, which includes patented image and audio analysis technology, and powered by the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), ACID offers a fast, accurate and scalable method of detecting breaches of copyright, wherever they are located and whatever format they are in. By automatically detecting any rich media that infringes an organization's copyright, Virage ACID eliminates the need for content owners to spend hours trawling through video sharing websites, or manually scanning p2p file contents.
This is perfect for media owners, this will actually watch the video footage for you and report back on whether it breaches your copyright or not. I'd imagine it's going to act as a software agent that you can send off to scour the web for video that may be in breach. Takes me back to the days of Autonomys' search agents symbolised by the dog (long time ago).
A very timely release if you ask me, and it's bound to get some take up with the current hype around video copyright. Autonomys' technology is already in use by the video search engine Blinkx. Perhaps YouTube should get Autonomy onboard to help negate their own failure to provide copyright protection?
Googles response to Viacom
March 29, 2007
Google have replied to Viacoms lawsuit and their lawyers letter to the press with their own letter to the editor in the Washington Post. Glad to see they don't labour the point and make valid comments regarding DMCA safe harbour.
Still doesn't see them out of the woods I reckon, there will be many more lawsuits in the lifetime of YouTube and these things can have a habit of dragging on and dirtying reputations.
Microsoft wimps out on video copyright issues
March 23, 2007
Rather than taking it like a behemoth, Microsoft has run away from the issue of video copyright and shut it's Soapbox site for a couple of months. Soapbox is the Microsoft competitor to YouTube etc and is a fairly nice app although not getting the visits required to be any sort of threat. They've seen Soapbox fill up with copyrighted clips since it launched and with no protection and (so I've heard) a long winded method of taking down clips they're seeking to improve.
Microsoft have signed up to the NBC/News Corp. deal and as such need to be seen to be making efforts to prevent piracy. There was a real risk that they could have been dumped from the deal if (like YouTube) they were found to be carrying large amounts of the media companies content.
So in reality it's a sensible move which will prepare them for the coming distribution deal, however I can't help feeling that they have wimped out by taking it offline rather than just releasing updates and keeping it accessible!
YouTube killer* to be announced soon!
March 22, 2007
NBC and News Corp are expected to announce the impending arrival of a competitor to YouTube today. This has been in the offing for some time and is expected to be widely used across MySpace as a way to gain penetration fast. Shows such as Family Guy, 24 and The Office will be featured, these being some of the shows regularly taken down from YouTube that gain many viewers.
Will it be the killer? Personally I doubt it, YouTube has far broader appeal that just as a platform to watch TV on. It will however hurt YouTube in the market share department and could be the first and only real competition to emerge.
However, this strikes me as more of a competitor to Joost and the like than to YouTube!
*I don't really think it's a killer at all…
Viacom sues Google for more than $1B!
March 13, 2007
After lengthy negotiations over copyrighted clips on YouTube, Viacom has hit Google and YouTube with a lawsuit accusing the popular video-sharing Web site of "massive intentional copyright infringement" and seeking more than $1B in damages.
The lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York states that nearly 160,000 copyrighted clips of Viacom's programming have been available on YouTube and that these have been viewed more than 1.5 billion times.
This seems like another disgruntled media giant trying to force Googles hand into coming up with a proper way to share revenue. I can't see the case resulting in Google paying out, however it could result in a takedown notice being issued for all the offending clips.
If Google don't get some form of copyright protection out the door along with an attractive revenue sharing scheme this could get very messy for GooTube as other media owners joing the current lawsuit bandwagon! This is the first really clear example of the troubles YouTube could bring to Google, all cases so far have been minor and easily settled, this one could be a little more tricky.
Mark Cuban subpoenas YouTube
March 8, 2007
Mark Cuban has changed tack from pressuring Google on his blog to filing a subpoena in federal court in Texas now. Cuban, who famously said that the purchase of YouTube for $1.65bn was moronic, has now put his lawyers into the fray.
Cuban is a partner in Magnolia Pictures, a film distributor; Magnolia is demanding that YouTube/Google reveal details of users who uploaded clips of its movies. The subpoena demands the details be handed over by 20th March; Google has issued its standard silent response so far.
Cuban has made it clear the filing about making a point to Google. He told Reuters: "We don't expect to get valid user information. If we do, we will contact them and ask them what induced them to upload content they don't own."
Probably the last thing Google needs right now is a subpoena from someone who's not doing it to force their hand on an advertising deal. Where as Fox obviously subpoenaed them to force the issue of a partnership deal, Cuban seems to just be doing it to make life difficult for them.
Turkey blocks access to YouTube
March 8, 2007
The Turks have taken a dislike to a video posted on YouTube which showed Greeks criticising Turkey and insulting the Turkish flag. As Turkey receives it's web access solely via ADSL from Turk Telecom it's a pretty easy job to block it for the vast majority of the population.
This (as far as I know) is the first country to block it, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see nations such as China follow suit as soon as they find something they don't like…

For a few weeks now I have seen that the Eagles are actively shopping Asante Samuel for a few reasons. One they are fairly set at the position and heavily invested in their other two CB's, two he has two more years left on a contract that he is owed over $21 Mill and three he is 31 years old. On the positive side of that is that he has led the NFL in ints 2 out of the last 3 yrs and is considered to be very close to a shut down corner. At the very least he is better than what we have.
So why would the Eagles trade with us you ask???? It's been speculated that they they think highly of Baron the saftey out of Alabama, the problem is the Boys who pick ahead of them are also interested in him so we do have some leverage in the negotiating. What I am suggesting is that we swap the 1st rd picks #10 for #15 and swap the 3rd round picks #71 for #88 we get one of their two 2nd round picks #51 and we give them or 5th round pick #144.
So that would leave us with a starting CB and picks #15, 41, 51, 88 in he first 3 rounds.
Samuel has said that he is willing to restructure his contract some for cap reason and with having one of the two CB's that Nix has talked about adding to the roster it frees us up to do some different things. Now to really piss some of you off with the 1st pick I am 100% in on David DeCastro and here's why......
I know it has been said that G is not an impact position (especially by our trusted leader!) but in the NFL nowadays I disagree. On the "long" pass that most of you are screaming for it is very seldom that the QB is able to take a 5 - 7 step drop and let it fly. Normally there is some sort of pocket awarness and shuffling that has to happen. From a QB perspective the easiest "shuffle" is forward where you can keep your eyes downfield at all times and (most importantly) step into throws (instead of scrambling towards a sideline and throwing across your body). By having a front line of Levitre, Wood and DeCastro you are creating a pocket that most QB's would dream of (ala Drew Brees.....).
By now most of you are going to say that LT is THE most important position and without a good one it doesn't matter what the rest of your line does. To that I say BS and here's why. First and foremost if you as a coach (and I was/am one) know that your weakness is one area of the OL but the rest are rock solid there are many things that you can do to help or cover that weakness. First thing you can do is line up the TE to that side to make the rusher take a wider path and giving the OT a better angle to pass protect. I'm not insinuating keep the TE in to block just to give the T a better angle. Secondly there was an article a few weeks ago where PFT (sorry I don't have the link) rated Freddie as the best "chip" blocker in he game and by the end of the year CJ was sticking his nose in there to help too. Again they are not staying in to block they are just helping slow the rusher down on there way out in the pattern. And third thing is if you don't need help with the other lineman you can always "slide" your protection to the LT side so in case he does get beat he has someone there to help. This isin't the ideal scenario but it happens a lot.
Not to mention that with DeCastro in at RG our run game which was potent at times last year improves greatly. He is a lineman that has the power and footwork to double team the nose and chip off that to get to the LB at the second level. In essecence he would neutralise the likes of Woolfork and Pouha..... while also blocking the front side LB. Now imagine Freedie or CJ poping through the hole not being touched until they are 5 - 7 yds downfield and they are one on one with a saftey, I like our chances. We have all been saying that the Bills need to be able to run the ball in bad weather and to close out games, he allows us to do that! He is one of the few prospects after the first 6-7 that have no flaws and most draft pundits consider him a potential pro bowler. Not to mention the fact that he allows us more depth in the G and C position in a group that has been hit hard by the injury bug and has a lot of contract questions after this year.
And just so all of you don't think I'm crazy I do think we draft another OT in either rounds 2 or 3. I also would like to see us draft Weeden in the 4th rd but thats another post for another day.

It was a week ago when we announced that Tonya Lewis Lee, wife of director Spike Lee, would be putting her producer hat on to develop a film adaptation of a historical fiction novel called The Watsons Go To Birmingham, and she'd tapped Kenny Leon (primarily a stage director, although he directed Lifetime's Steel Magnolias remake) to direct the adaptation.
To be co-produced by Nikki Silver, The Watsons Go To Birmingham will adapt Christopher Paul Curtis' 1995 novel which centers on an African American family living in the town of Flint, Michigan, who visit their grandmother's home in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963, a turbulent time during the civil rights movement.
Skip ahead a week later to news this morning, via press release from The Hallmark Channel, that production has officially begun on the film adaptation, in Atlanta, Georgia, for what will be a Hallmark Channel Original Movie, set to have its World Premiere on Friday, September 20 (8pm ET/PT, 7C), with a cast that includes: Anika Noni Rose, David Alan Grier, Skai Jackson, LaTanya Richardson, Wood Harris, Bryce Jenkins and Harrison Knight.
The script adaptation was actually written by Tonya Lewis Lee, so she's wearing at least 2 hats on this project.
Here's the full synopsis along with what characters each starring actor will play:
Set in the Summer of 1963, Flint, Michigan is home to the Watsons, a close knit "All American Family" made up of Daniel and Wilona Watson (Harris and Rose) and their three kids, 15 year-old juvenile delinquent Byron (Knight), nerdy 11 year-old Kenny (Jenkins) and eight year-old adorable sister Joetta (Jackson). When Byron's antics go over the top, his parents realize enough is enough and they decide the family needs a dose of Grandma Sands (Richardson) no nonsense approach in Birmingham, Alabama.
So the Watsons load up the 1948 Plymouth Brown Bomber outfitted with a true tone Ultra-Glide turntable and head South with plenty of comedy en route. When they finally make it to Birmingham, they meet Grandma Sands and her friend, Mr. Robert (Grier), who show them around town, and the Watsons discover that life is very different there than in Flint - and not necessarily for the better. During that historic summer, the Watsons find themselves caught up in something far bigger than Byron's antics. Something that will change their lives and country forever.
What they get "caught up in" is the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in September, 1963, which proved to be one of the pivotal events of that year in the fight for civil rights.
The book was Christopher Paul Curtis' first novel, and it received a Newbery Honor, the Coretta Scott King Award, and the Golden Kite Award.
The project is part of "Walmart and P&G Present Walden Family Theater," a new series of family movies created by Walmart, P&G, Walden Media and ARC Entertainment.
The Watsons Go To Birmingham is produced by Walden Media, ARC Entertainment and Tonik Productions, LLC in association with WalMart and Procter & Gamble.
Many of you who've read the novel were excited for the adaptation, when it was announced last week. I've added it to my to-read pile of books, so hopefully I'll get to it before September, when the film is scheduled to debut.
But, Kenny Leon aside (I'm not really high on him as a director), the cast is a relatively solid one, so, at the very least, it should be well-acted.

Sucks that they wont film it in Birmingham.
Geneva Girl | April 10, 2013 5:19 PM
If you haven't read the book I highly recommend listening to the audiobook. Lavar Burton did an astounding job performing it. I was hoping that he would get the role as the father, but realize that he is too old (as is Grier). Audiobooks, this one in particular, are great for summer driving vacations. My family thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. This movie will be Must See TV in our home.
It's probably more appropriate that this is a television movie versus a theatrical release. I hope that this paves the way for Curtis' other fine books: Bud, Not Buddy and The Mighty Miss Malone to be brought to the screen.
Aswilliams91 | April 10, 2013 3:17 PM
This should be very intriging. Well a very well rounded stellar cast of actors and actresses in the lead. I love the beautiful and talented Anika Noni Rose on screen. She is remarkable. It will also be great to see Wood Harris in another great role. I'm glad Spike's wife Tonya is producing and writing such profound material for the Hallmark Channel. I can't wait until this airs on September 20th. I will be watching.

To the right of the waterfall, in front of a large vandalized boulder are 2 bolted routes. This is the right route. Climb up the small crack to the ledge, clip the bolt and make your move. The difficulty eases a bit the rest of the way.
2 bolts at the top for an anchor, and 3 draws for the climb. There are 2 different anchors now, one above the climb to the right (Fleeting Glimpse), and one on the next ledge up, but in a better line for this climb. Recommend using the higher anchors.

I don't have any timing in mind yet for this, but would like to know if you are interested in participating and sharing your loved one's story. I sent out an e-mail about this yesterday, and so far have heard back from five people who want to participate!
Won't you join us?Related

Obama's Failed Attempt to Create a Nat'l Gun Registry
April 18, 2013 | Filed Under 2nd Amendment, Anti-Americanism, Barack Obama, Constitution, Democrats/Leftists, Ethics, GOP, Liberals, President, Progressives, Republicans, Senate, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off
-By Warner Todd Huston
Obama and his left-wing, anti-Constitution Democrat allies tried desperately to create universal background checks as one step closer to a national gun registry. This is an important point and Senator Mike Lee (R, UT) did an excellent job pointing that out in his latest op ed explaining why he voted against the Toomey/Manchin bill.
"The Toomey-Manchin amendment admirably attempted to carve out certain protections for gun owners, but today's carve-outs are tomorrow's loopholes. The current 'gun show loophole' was itself once considered a legitimate carve-out that protected certain private sales."
And this:
"The amendment also took an incremental step toward universal background checks, which, as a Justice Department memo written earlier this year suggested, are effective only when coupled with a national registration system. Admittedly, the Toomey-Manchin plan prohibited a national registry. Yet it required a massive expansion of gun ownership data collected by federally licensed dealers to which the government has access."
"After all, you cannot track all gun sales without tracking all gun owners. But the government has no business monitoring constitutionally protected activity, like gun ownership, any more than it has any business tracking what books Americans read or how often they attend church."
These are EXTREMELY important points to remember when talking to others about this background check idea. It is a nother step toward an illicit national gun registry. And then after that comes confiscation.
"The only end of writing is to enable the reader better to enjoy life, or better to endure it."
–Samuel Johnson

I often go to a website called http://www.nba-trade-rumors.com/ where anyone is allowed to post trade rumors or ideas for trades they have. I find it very fun and interesting to see some ideas people have but there are rarely any trades involving the Blazers posted on there. Now I think most of us Blazer fans would like to see some trades before next week's trade deadline so I'd like to see some trade ideas that you guys have for the Blazers.

Now that the big three have fired all their shots at E3, it's time to take a look back and take stock of all we've seen. We'll start with Microsoft, who is in the odd position of losing the console war before it even started. They're currently standing atop their castle with a gun pointed at their head, threatening to kill themselves if we don't go along with their used game and always online strategies. Currently, gamers across the globe are looking at each other and shrugging, and Microsoft seems to be unwilling to back down from their terrible, terrible idea. But that was all before E3 this year, as they presumably wanted to get all the bad news out of the way so they could focus on all the reasons we should buy their Xbox One at their E3 conference. Was their conference the slam dunk/home run/touchdown/hockey thing (I don't watch a lot of hockey, okay?) that they needed to bury the PS4? No. Not even close. But that doesn't mean it was all bad!
The Good:
The Bad:
The Ugly:
So there you have it. Everything you could possibly need to know about the entire Microsoft E3 conference. If I was to grade their conference, I'd give it a solid B minus. However, since they ate their previous homework assignment and are currently refusing to turn their textbooks back in because sharing is for communists, I highly doubt they'll end up passing the class anyway. This year's E3 had lots of news coming from the big three, but if Microsoft keeps up this strategy maybe next year we'll only have to cover the big two at the conference (and whatever parking lot Ouya happens to set up their hot dog stand).

PEORIA, IL- The Chicago Cubs and Peoria Chiefs have announced the 2011 Chiefs field staff, which includes a pair of familiar faces.
Manager Casey Kopitzke returns for a second season after leading the Chiefs to a 71-66 record in 2010.
He will be joined by pitching coach Jeff Fassero, a Springfield, Ilinois. native who pitched for the Cubs and Cardinals, hitting coach Ricardo Medina who was with the Chiefs in 2005 and athletic trainer A.J. Larson.
"We are excited to have Casey return to the Chiefs staff for 2011," said Chiefs President Rocky Vonachen. "He did an outstanding job with a very young Chiefs team in 2010 and we are happy to welcome him and his family back to Central Illinois for another season. It's also exciting to have a Central Illinois native and former Cub hurler on our staff in Jeff Fassero and Ricardo Medina was a great Chiefs player in the early 1990s and was on our first staff back with the Cubs in 2005. Overall this is a great staff and we are looking forward to the start of the 2011 season."
Kopitzke, 32, has spent 12 seasons in the Cubs organization as a player, coach and manager. He led the Chiefs to a 71-66 overall record in 2010 with a third place finish in the first half. Under Kopitzke's leadership the Chiefs had the third best batting average in the Midwest League last season with a .266 mark.
Pitching coach Jeff Fassero is very familiar with Central Illinois having grown up in Springfield where he played high school and college baseball before embarking on a 16-year Major League career
as a left-handed pitcher.
The 37-year old is a 1981 graduate of Griffin High School in Springfield and he pitched two seasons at Lincoln Land Community College before transferring to the University of Mississippi.
A 22nd round draft pick in the 1984 draft by the St. Louis Cardinals, Fassero was 121-124 with a 4.11 ERA in 720 career outings for nine different major league teams

Another awesome 5.11c not quite as perfect as its neighbor of the same grade, Apocalypse Later, but still not to be missed. "Holy crimpers" this thing will make you work your fingers (hence the name). The hardest moves are at the bottom, and it's just a matter of not pumping out your crimp muscles as pretty much every hold is crimpy. There is however a creative rest toward the top that will put the route in the bag for you, find it and love it.

Office Halloween Decorations
If your office happens to have a bunch of old Mac computers sitting around not being used, then why not use them as halloween decorations by converting them into some sweet Mac-O-Lanterns?
First, spray paint the outside of the computer orange. Then paint the mouse brown, and attach it to the top of the monitor using epoxy. Finally, make a Jack-O-lantern face of your choice through any photo program and upload it to the computer.
For the complete instructions visit Instructables.
