Andrew Innes of Primal Scream and the MS-20 mini Analogue Synthesizer
Korg met up with Andrew Innes of Primal Scream at the band's London studio to talk about his new Korg MS-20 mini, an analogue synthesizer featuring the original circuitry from 1978.
The same engineers who developed the original MS-20 have perfectly reproduced its circuitry and fit into a body that's been shrunk to 86% of the original size, yet retains the distinctive look of the original.
Perfect for Primal Scream, Andrew says:
"It's got an atmosphere to it straight away. Whether it's happy , sad or threatening. It seems to be really good at threatening!"
"The glorious thing about this synthesizer is that every button you hit makes it better "

Arturia Minibrute vs Korg MS-20 Mini
A new video, via Verifyhuman, captures a "budget monophonic synthesizer smackdown":
It's a budget monophonic synthesizer smackdown: How does the new Korg MS-20 Mini compare against the Arturia Minibrute? A veiny arm takes you through the oscillators of these beasts to see just how similar / different they are.
I made the video as a scientific response to the bevy of forum discussions and questions regarding the two. For those in the market for a budget monosynth but only wish to buy one, I hope the video can remove some of the subjectivity and let the listener determine what sounds better to them. No audio editing or effects were added to the raw sound.

Connecting the MS-20 Mini to Eurorack via an English Tear
It's an English Tear, new module forthcoming from The Harvestman. It's basically a converter module so that you can use to convert eurorack 1v/oct to ms-20 Hz/Volt and vice versa.
Pretty handy if you have a eurorack and an ms-20 mini, here's a quick demonstration video of using it to interface a Rene..

KORG MS-20 MINI Analog Synthesizer 2013
We have seen quite a few demos of the MS20 mini now, but of course we all want more
Here is a demo of the brandnew KORG MS-20 MINI monophonic analog synthesizer. It is a reissue of the classic MS-20 synth from 1978. The sound of the Mini is damn close!
On some sounds I used a Lexicon MPX-500 for reverbs and a Roland DEP-5 for delay effects. In the intro I used the Doepfer Dark Time sequencer to control the MS-20 mini via MIDI.

MS20 Mini Q&A Session
Sonic's full review is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ_Q1Q…
but Sonic has also invited live viewers to join them and the MS20 Mini synthesizer from Korg and ask any additional questions that weren't answered in the full review.
KORG's background info on the machine:
An analog synthesizer featuring the original circuitry from 1978
Korg's MS-20 monophonic synthesizer, first introduced in 1978, is still a coveted instrument to this day, thanks to its thick, robust sound, its powerful, iconic analog filter, and its versatile patching options. Over 300,000 people have enjoyed the distinct MS-20 sounds from the original, from Korg's MS-20 plug-in synth, or the iMS-20 iPad app.
Today, the sounds of the MS-20 have been reborn in hardware, as the MS-20 Mini. The same engineers who developed the original MS-20 have perfectly reproduced its circuitry and fit into a body that's been shrunk to 86% of the original size, yet retains the distinctive look of the original.
The MS-20 mini will amaze you with its absolutely authentic analog synth sound.
Comments from the developers
Fifty years have passed since Korg was founded, and we have once again put our hand to an analog synthesizer. We took particular care to deliver smooth parameter adjustments, which are a distinctive feature of analog synthesizers. We also took special care to completely reproduce the original specifications of the MS-20. The analog circuits we designed 35 years ago still deliver the same unbeatable, powerful sound, from the ultra-low to the ultra-high range.
Korg MS20 Mini Review
Korg's latest analog baby is actually something we've seen before (in 1977!) The MS20 Mini is an exact replica of the classic monosynth – lets see how it compares.

Review Details
Product Review (submitted on August 4, 2013):
The "must have" product
When I first purchased Quench a few years ago, it was a splurge purchase. After using it for a couple of weeks, Quench became a necessity, not a luxury. I am 55 years old with fair skin; I live in a very sunny climate and have a high-stress career. I went through menopause before I was 50. Although I was blessed with good skin, genes alone can't save it from the effects of stress and aging.
Quench is a "must have" for my morning and evening skin-care regimen: one pump is plenty for face and neck, and is applied after toning. I allow it to absorb for a minute or so before using primer and foundation. If I'm in a hurry, I combine it with primer. I need very little foundation now, thanks to Quench. I am often complimented for having great-looking skin and a youthful complexion, but nothing beats the compliments I get from my dermatologist!

Manchester officer who was shot returns to duty with little fanfare
Chief David Mara said many of Doherty's fellow officers were surprised when he showed up for roll call, but Doherty had wanted the return to be low key.
Mara said Doherty will be working limited duty on days for the time being. He will need to undergo some training before going back out on the street.
Doherty suffered seven wounds during a chase on the West Side that ended when Webster wheeled around and fired repeatedly at Doherty on the corner of Wayne and Rimmon streets.
Webster is now serving a term of 60 years to life after his December 2012 jury convictions for attempted murder, robbery, reckless conduct and resisting arrest.

The Padres have a split squad schedule today, having to make up a game against the Rockies in Tucson that was rained out on Sunday.
Bud Black will be heading with the squad to Tucson, where it looks like mostly minor-league-level players are heading. With Andy Parrino and James Darnell as the only players in the starting lineup with any MLB experience, this is looking like a good chance for the younger players to try to impress Black, as well as get some playing time while they can. Casey Kelly will make the start and pitch five innings, with Dale Thayer scheduled for a couple innings and various minor league pitchers coming in to finish out the game.
#Padres at #Rockies (Tucson): Decker 8, Gyorko 5, Darnell 7, Clark 3, Grandal 2, Parrino 6, Galvez 4, Carroll 9, Kelly 1.— Follow The Padres (@FollowThePadres) March 22, 2012
At home in Peoria, Cory Luebke will make his fourth start of the Spring. He has pitched well thus far and looks to start the regular season as a number 2 starter for the Padres. Huston Street, Alex Hinshaw, Luke Gregerson, and Matt Palmer are all scheduled for work out of the bullpen.
#Padres vs. #Indians: Maybin 8, Venable 9, Headley 5, Guzman 7, Alonso 3, Bartlett 6, Baker 2, Cabrera 4, Luebke 1.— Follow The Padres (@FollowThePadres) March 22, 2012
The game against Cleveland will be broadcast on ESPN 1700 with Andy Masur, Jerry Coleman, and Bob Scanlan at 1:05pm.

Hi had the theme for ages not changed anything but now when I add a image to my blog posts I get a blue question mark using the image with frame option it just leaves a question mark instead now nothing has changed I have been doing this for ages, I have also reinstalled the theme again to check for sure but still no joy ! I have all the permissions done so cant see why this random issue would occur regards
From your next comment I can see that you have figured it out If you still have any other support questions, can you please use our dedicated support system here:http://pexetothemes.com/support/
as this is where all the Pexeto items support is handled. Thank you!
Beautiful template design. So many potential ideas. I have a few questions however before purchasing.
a) When you load the main page, is there a way to automatically load more than the 14 images that initially load in the demo? So that the images to load all the way down the page (thus to not allow blank space when the site loads)
b) What's the logic to what images load on the main page? Is it the most recently added is always top left?
c) In your demo, it seems that people can leave comments on portfolio pieces (see here: ) but when I click the number on the image, I don't see any comments. What does this number represent? Is there a way we can choose what those images link too? (i.e. have the image link to a blog entry that explains information about that piece?)
d) Do you have recommended plugins for a twitter feed on your blog page that work smoothly with this theme?
I'm sure you get many questions because this layout is beautiful, so I appreciate your patience and time with my questions.
Thank you, I'm glad you like it Here are my answers:
a) Yes, there is an option to set the number of items to load
b) By default the most recently added are displayed, but there is also an option to set custom order to the items
c) This number represents the number of images the slider contains, it is not the comments. If you need comments, the standard portfolio item page (each item in the gallery is a portfolio item), supports comments in the same way the blog posts do (you can see an example of this kind of page here, but the comments are not enabled in there). So, you can link the item to its standard page or include somewhere in the description a link to that page if you need comments. And regarding the second question – yes, you can choose where the items will link to. For each item you can choose between open an image slider (full-width/full-height), open an image lightbox, play video, link to the item page or link to a custom link (can be any page or external site link).
d) Generally the theme is built according to the best plugin compatibility practices so everything should be okay with using the plugins you like.
My apologies, I just realized I forgot to include the photo in my question c) above.Here is the photo I was referring too: http://i.imgur.com/vns6rFl.jpg
First off – LOVE this theme, very nice. I have one question to consider before I purchase this theme. I'm trying to figure out how to handle Youtube/vimeo videos. I see they can be placed on a page but I was wondering if videos are support within say the "Standard Gallery" or "Sliders". Thanks so much. Paul
I'm glad you like the theme
You can see examples of video items in the Mixed Gallery page – you can check the "YouTube video item" and "Vimeo Item".
A pre-purchase question.
I really like the way you did the gallery section but are there anyways to list all pictures instead of having categories by categories ? I know you have answered someone before to just put 1 image for 1 category but that will be quite troublesome in my opinion since I would like to go for a simple layout, less-fussy as possible.
Basically I just want to be able to list all images in my gallery instead of having them list categories with my images in them, is that doable ?
As the gallery provides many features, such as category filter, different click actions, different layout for the thumbnails, it requires creating a portfolio post for each item which can handle all of these options – you can't attach this functionality to a single simple image. So, you can still have one image per item (instead of a list of images), but you still need to create a portfolio post for each image – if you want, you can watch this video to see how to create the gallery in the theme. Otherwise if you need a very simple gallery, you may consider using the quick gallery which provides this functionality.
Well it is 16 hours after purchasing this theme and so far I feel like this was oversold in capability. In this time I have two photos showing in the gallery grid. A 3rd photo won't show no matter what I try even though it does show in the standard page. Videos? Forget that. This theme doesn't even render a preview for a thumbnail. That is up to the user to create and set themselves. Whitelisted video sources? Good luck adding one if you need to add a website source. Cropped thumbnails? You have to be kidding me. To top it off, you can't even see the actual media preview you insert in portfolio or gallery to decide how you want to it to be cropped. Seriously. this theme is so far away from being ready for release it isn't worth taking the time to learn it. If you are a webmaster wordpress guru, maybe this theme is for you. I would rather have a tooth pulled out then admin this theme everyday. The documentation is brief at best and the video runs at warp speed. The layout of the control panels is not at all intuitive and may also be partly due to Wordpress' design. Back to the drawing board.
I'm sorry to hear this. Regarding the 3rd image not being displayed – this is not a common known problem (so far you are the first one to report this kind of problem), so it must be something that is related with your installation only – if you want, you can open a ticket about this on our support site, so we can have a look at your site and try to help you with this. Also I'm not sure if I understand correctly most of the other issues you mentioned, however if you want we can discuss these further on our support site.
I have a ticker in asking for a refund so if you need more clarification you can email me from there.
First, thanks for the great item. I tried to create menu based on your guide but it does not appear at the top right side. It still only says "Go to Appearance » Menus to create and set a menu".
In admin menu, I can see the menu section has been activated correctly but it can't be applied in standard web site.
The problem is that, it was OK until yesterday before I re-install wordpress.
FYI, I didn't check "Automatically add new top-level pages".
Thanks in advance. KBKIM

Hi. I am interested in your theme. I am being told by my server that my PHP server is based on Zeus architecture rather than Apache and that PHP Safemode is turned on and will not be disabled… Could this become a problem ?
As much as I know, using WordPress itself on Zeus has some limitations, mainly with the permalinks settings because of the different rewrite method used. Also, the PHP safe mode has been deprecated since PHP 5.3 and removed from PHP 5.4, so you should also consider that WordPress may drop the support for older PHP versions in case your server has that version installed. I haven't used this combination of server configuration before, but generally I think that as soon as you are able to install WordPress and use it without any problems, everything should be okay with using the theme too.
I have failed to load the theme, so as to start modifying it? what do i do?
You can check the instructions about installing the theme in the "Installing and activating the theme" section of the documentation included and also you can watch these installation videos. Once you install and activate the theme, you can find all the instructions about using the theme in the documentation included. If you still have any questions after you check the documentation, you can use our dedicated support site here to post your questions, where our support team will help you.
Firstly your theme is beautiful for wordpress users. I want to ask you something. I want to buy this theme. But there are some problems with post system. Actually i want to use this theme's main page like portfolio style. And i want wordpress normal blog posts open when i click a picture. Portfolio designs are good for my job. But i want to show more writing with pictures. If you can help me immediately, i will buy this theme. Thanks for your help already.
Thank you, I'm glad you like the themeThe gallery works with portfolio posts that are separate from the blog posts – they still use the Featured image and also a standard portfolio post page looks very similar to the blog post page:
However if you need to use standard posts, anpther option would be to create a portfolio post for the gallery and link the item to the blog post. Also, you may look for a plugin that will automatically duplicate the blog post into a portfolio post, so you can save some work.
Hi again, Thank you for your answer.I have a food recipes site. So i want this theme for food site. I want the pictures on gallery page http://themeforest.net/item/expression-photography-responsive-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/2855595 when i click a picture in the gallery, i want to open my standard blog post. the pictures come from featured image. http://themeforest.net/item/expression-photography-responsive-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/2855595
If you can do this for me, immedately i will buy this theme. It is important for my site to look great and attractive.
As I mentioned above, you can accomplish this with the theme, it would just require an extra step – creating a portfolio post for each blog post you create, so that the portfolio post gets displayed in the gallery and you can then link it to the blog post.
I have had this theme for a number of months and have been really happy with it's design and responsiveness.
However I recently restructured my portfolio images and sizing on the front page and I'm having trouble figuring out how to reorder the categories so that they line up the way I want. One of the features listed on the description is that it can be custom ordered and I checked the box for custom order instead of by date but I can't find where to change the order.
Please help?
I'm glad you like the theme's design

Pre-purchase question, I may have overlooked this, but is there really no "Contact Me" or "Contact" page?
Only thing hanging me up from purchasing this beaut of a template!
Is it possible to have a transparent header/footer like on your Photolux theme?
Cheers, Alex
Hi Alex,
By default there isn't an option to set transparency to the header and footer, but this can be easily accomplished with a minor CSS modification.
P.S. Sorry for the late reply, we have been travelling during the last couple of days.
Hi. I'm planning to purchase this template but I want to find first the maximum width of photos the blog template can hold. On my current blog, my photos are sized at 800×600 landscape. Is this going to be a problem?
When the blog is set to a sidebar layout the maximum image width is 600 pixels, so if you need to insert bigger images, you may consider setting the blog page to full-width layout (no sidebar) where the default image width 900 pixels.
P.S. Sorry for the late reply, we have been travelling during the last couple of days.
Hi, I find your theme very elegant, and I am about to purchase it, before that I would like to ask if the template supports bilingual content. I know that there are plugins for wordpress, I am interested in having language selection even in the photo descriptions and I have no idea if this is possible in your template. Thank you in advance.
Yes, you can use the theme with a multilingual plugin to support multiple languages.
P.S. Sorry for the late reply, we have been travelling during the last couple of days.
Is possible to load more galleries as you scroll down instead of clicking a "load more" button?
The "Load more" button is the main way to load more images, the gallery doesn't support loading on scroll. However if you want you can set more images to load by default when the gallery is initially loaded.

Half of the Big 12 still has no idea what to
really expect when their teams come to Morgantown for a football game in the
fall. But half of them experienced it last season.
In West Virginia University's first year as a
conference member, the Mountaineers finished their home schedule in the league
with a 4-5 record. There were barnburners and blowouts, wins and losses, league
champions and basement dwellers visiting campus and each came away with a
different experience, though many seem impressed with the atmosphere they
encountered while they were there.
Aside from Tavon Austin's personal performance
in a loss to Oklahoma, the game that stands out on the home schedule was likely
that conference-opener against Baylor. Back and forth with touchdowns pouring
in from both offenses, the Mountaineers burst onto the Big 12 scene with a bang
that even Jonathan Kimble would have envied.
In a 70-63 final, there was plenty of scoring
from either team and yet one of the Bears' best returning players, Lache
Seastrunk, only carried the ball five times. He says he recalls the game and
the excitement when they took the field, but when asked if he remembered
anything about the stripe the stadium promotion that became a lasting image
from the first season in the Big 12, Seastrunk had no idea it even happened.
"I didn't know that," Seastrunk said.
Clearly, the things that are lasting about a
game for a marketing department and those that the losing team remembers are
quite different.
TCU had the game that really went down to the
wire with a two-point conversion to win it in double overtime. In beating the
Mountaineers, defensive end Jon Koontz still found time to admire what he saw
from the WVU faithful.
"The fans definitely stood out," said Koontz. "They
stood out in a lot of places we played, but in Morgantown, they don't need the
video screen to tell them when to be loud. They know when their team needs
momentum and they're behind them from the first quarter on."
Kansas State had little issue taking down the
home team in the second of five-straight losses for the Mountaineers after that
5-0 start. The Wildcats won that night in October by a dominating final score
of 55-14. One of the players on hand that day, safety Ty Zimmerman, had heard
some of what he should expect when he visited Morgantown and the actual
experience didn't let him down.
"It was a great experience," said Zimmerman.
"Before going there, I heard how hostile it was, what their fans were like, I
knew how great their team was and we were fortunate enough to get out to a
pretty good lead and create some gap in there. We kind of took their fans out
of it, but leading up to the game, I knew it was a great atmosphere, a great
place to play."
Now entering year two in the conference, Zimmerman
thinks WVU will be better prepared for much of what they'll face, despite the
fact that many of the venues will still be new to the Mountaineers.
"I think they definitely fit in [the Big 12]," Zimmerman
said. "I know it was hard for them, probably, that first year. Every game is a
two- or three-hour flight for them. They had some good success this season,
they return a lot of guys, so I know they'll be a team to be reckoned with this
It was quite the opposite experience in
Morgantown for a visiting Kansas team. When KU came to town, there was nothing
on the line for the Jayhawks other than ruining WVU's senior day. They didn't
do that. In a 59-10 loss, KU was behind by three touchdowns before it managed
its only trip into the end zone of the entire day.
Crossing the goal line for the Jayhawks was
James Sims, the running back who was one of very few bright spots for Kansas
last season.
"It was an experience that I've never
experienced before," Sims said of visiting WVU. "Morgantown gets pretty wild
and pretty crazy and I'm not sure if it was just Senior Day or if they do that
week in and week out, but it was pretty wild down there and it was a pretty fun
It isn't very often that a losing team's star
tells you that he had fun at that game, but there, Sims said it.
Finally, back to that Oklahoma game when Austin
was let loose and did things to the Sooners defense that had never been done
before. Clearly OU cornerback Aaron Colvin wasn't thrilled by the results,
despite ultimately getting the win, but he says he looks forward to the chance
to welcome WVU to Norman in the second week of the upcoming season.
"We felt where they come from last year and
they'll feel where we come from this year," said Colvin. "It'll be another
high-energy game, hopefully not the same results that we had last year, but
it'll be a fun game."
The Mountaineers still have plenty of Big 12
destinations left to see in 2013 and four more conference teams will visit
their own campus, starting with Oklahoma State on Sept. 28.

Seeing none, he called for a Motion to dispose of the matter. Mr. Drawbaugh Moved to grant a one year extension to December 4, 2009 as requested.

Mr. Chimento and Mr. Nuara
Negative: None

Chairman Jacobi questioned whether there was anyone present regarding the Walgreen's or Privatera Application, and noted that both applicants have requested that the applications be carried. Confirming that there was no one present, he stated that the matters would be handled formally in Agenda order.
Application of Matthew Kelly, 14 Bridgewaters Drive, Oceanport, New Jersey to construct a 61' by 19' L-shaped two story addition, 14' by 18' irregular shaped two story addition in the garage footprint, a 14' by 14' two story addition, a 25' by 15' L-shaped front porch, paver walk and driveway and interior renovations on the property at 12 Borden Place, Block 64, Lot 1, in the R-1 Zone which violates the minimum required lot area of 60,000 square feet where 16,461 square feet is existing; the minimum required improved lot frontage for a corner lot of 160 feet facing both streets where 100 feet and 160 feet is existing; the minimum required front yard setback of 50 feet where 61 feet and 32.2 feet is existing and 61 feet and 29.5 feet is proposed; the minimum required side yard setback for a principal building 34.7 feet in height of 43.7 feet on each side where 13.7 feet and 15.2 feet is existing; the minimum side yard setback for an accessory building 100 square feet in size of 8 feet where 2.3 feet is existing; detached accessory buildings shall be located in other than a front yard where a shed is existing within the front yard; the maximum allowable impervious surface of 25% where 45% is existing; Closed fences within a front yard shall not exceed 3 feet in height where an existing fence located in the front yard exceeds 3 feet in height; A swimming pool shall be located not less than 25 feet from the side or rear of the residence where 15 feet is existing and 12 feet is proposed and no pool shall be located in the front yard where a pool is existing:
Attorney Leckstein noted for the record that service was in order and the Board had jurisdiction to hear this application.
Michael DuPont, Esquire appeared on behalf of the applicant and in place of Attorney Martin McGann. He explained that the proposal is to add 911 square feet on the first floor and 2,300 square feet on the second floor, a total of 4,700 square feet and an attached garage on this corner lot. The first floor will be reconfigured and a bump out addition constructed. The variances noted are pre-existing and the condition of the property is not being exacerbated.
When questioned by Attorney Leckstein, Attorney DuPont responded that the Kellys are expected to reside in the home.
When questioned by Chairman Jacobi, Mr. DuPont stated that there are no new variances proposed. Reviewing the site plan with the building envelope highlighted in pink, he pointed out the small building envelope. Chairman Jacobi commented that it appears that the footprint is already into the setbacks and that the additions will be the same. Attorney DuPont responded that this was correct.
Mr. Drawbaugh stated that the plans show a second story dormer and questioned where the additions were in the rear?
James Monteforte, Neptune, New Jersey, Licensed Architect in New Jersey was sworn in. He testified that the existing home is two stories and will be expanded out the back. The proposal is to update the home, create better space and provide a larger kitchen. The bump out at what is perceived to be the rear of the home is for that larger kitchen. Also proposed is an entrance foyer where none exists now; this will be provided by the reconfiguration of the first floor. The home has an oversized two car garage; some of that space will be used for the reconfiguration as well. The second floor is being renovated and an addition is proposed there as well. A covered porch is proposed which will bring the footprint a little closer than it is now.
Chairman Jacobi noted, as to the front setback 32.2 feet is existing and 29.5 feet is proposed.
When questioned by Mr. Drawbaugh, Mr. Monteforte explained that the second floor will be pushed out over the new first floor addition by 10 feet but will be no closer to the property line than the existing garage. This home is on a corner lot and does not have a rear yard but two sides and two fronts. The pool is existing and was approved by the Board. He stated that there is a hardship in that it would be difficult to build a house on this lot.
The Board reviewed the key map provided by the applicant with Attorney Leckstein noting that the house most affected is Lot 2. Mr. DuPont stated that this was correct and noted that the owner, Mr. Lucas, had no objection and is happy with the renovation.
Chairman Jacobi called for questions of Mr. Monteforte from the public.
Howard Ostran, 550 Little Silver Point Road, was sworn in. He stated that he did not receive notice.
Attorney Leckstein reviewed the notice and advised that the certified mailing sent to 550 Little Silver Point Road was returned. He questioned Mr. Ostran as to whether he had been away? Mr. Ostran stated that the house is in transition and that no mail has been delivered in the past two years. Attorney Leckstein explained that the notice was sent to the address provided on the Assessor's list and was returned as no one picked it up; the applicant complied with the law and the notice is good.
Mr. Ostran questioned Mr. Monteforte as to whether there would be any change to the grading? Mr. Monteforte responded no, the foundation would not be touched. The addition is the same height, there is no change to the grade. On further questions from Mr. Ostran, Mr. Monteforte testified that some of the existing driveway will be removed and four cars will be able to be parked in the driveway. Construction vehicles will access the lot to the right of the garage.
Susan Smith, 24 Borden Place stated that she is concerned with experiencing foundation cracks. Mr. Monteforte responded that there will be removal of asphalt in the driveway area which will be replaced with landscaping. There will be no digging, there should be no problem.
Matthew Kelly, property owner, was sworn in. When questioned by Mr. Drawbaugh, he testified that the exterior materials would be consistent, natural cedar shakes. He will be living in the house.
Chairman Jacobi called for comments from the public.
Marty Martin, 30 Borden Place, two doors down, was sworn in. She stated that she is concerned with the volume of the proposed house. The existing home is 1,500 square feet and the proposed 4,700 square feet, it will be triple in size. It is not just the footprint, but the overall space. Her house is 1 ½ stories as is the home to the east. This home would be two floors plus what seems to be an attic; she feels it will overwhelm the lot.
Mr. Drawbaugh stated that the plans show 3,423 square feet. Ms. Martin stated that the notice says the home is 1,447 with a 911 square foot addition on the first floor and 2,351 square feet on the second floor, a total of 4,709 square feet. After review and discussion, Mr. Monteforte stated that the total when done would be 4,709 square feet.
Attorney Leckstein reminded the Board that as the home rises in height, the side yard setback increases in this zone. The existing side yards were then reviewed and noted to be 13.7 feet and 15.2 feet where 43.7 feet on each side is required. Attorney Leckstein noted that the person most affected doesn't object.
Mr. Ostran questioned where the additional runoff would be going, the direction of the downspouts, etc.? Attorney Leckstein explained that the Borough Engineer reviews all plans during the zoning review process; plans must be approved prior to coming to the Board.
Attorney DuPont stated that he had a Planner present if the Board wanted his testimony.
When questioned by Mr. Scott in light of the discussion on square footage, Attorney Leckstein confirmed that the notice was good.
Mr. Scott stated that although the applicant is not creating new variances, the home is still moving out into the side setback; even though the garage is already in the setback, the addition is about a third as large.
Paul Ricci, 434 Sixth Avenue, New York, New York, with offices in Red Bank as well, was sworn in. He stated that he is a Licensed Professional Planner in New Jersey, working in several towns as well as testifying in court matters. Mr. Ricci was accepted by the Board. He testified that he reviewed the site, a property which is an existing non-conforming lot in the R-1 Zone which requires a 60,000 square foot lot with a minimum of 160 feet of frontage on each road as this is a corner lot. The existing Lot is 16,461 square feet. He provided a photo board which was entered as A-1.
Attorney Leckstein noted that the Board understands that there is no available land to create a more conforming lot.
Mr. Ricci continued his testimony stating that the proposal is a good alternative as this property is unique and transitional in its location on the corner in the R-1 Zone. The applicant tried to emulate the character of the area. Borden Place is a transition from the larger homes to cape cods. This house is currently non-conforming. The applicant is reinvesting in the property with a proposal of high quality craftsmanship. The architect did a good job breaking up the mass with multiple roof pitches. As to the impact to the easterly property line, he reviewed the photos which show an existing substantial buffer. The applicant is sensitive to the surrounding properties and will provide additional arborvitae along the fence line; the home really can't be seen. Also, there are currently five windows on the second floor; the new addition will reduce the windows to appease the property owner to the rear. This is a corner lot and under the Ordinance, has two front and two side yards. Although the pool, under the Ordinance is located in the front yard, it functions as the rear yard and therefore, there will be no one in the area that is perceived as the "rear".
Mr. Drawbaugh questioned whether this oversized proposal wouldn't set a precedent for the remainder of the properties in the area? Mr. Ricci responded that the Board must view each application on its own merits. There are existing larger homes on larger lots within the 200 foot radius. This is a transitional property and the architecture is a benefit which outweighs the detriment.
Mr. Scott questioned why this was a transitional property? He stated that two sides are bordered by streets, on the east side is a larger home and on the other, smaller homes.
Mr. Ricci responded that by transition he feels the style of the homes transition with the neighborhood.
Chairman Jacobi called for questions of Mr. Ricci from the public.
Mr. Ostran stated that his home is on a square acre and has been since 1850.
Marty Martin requested an explanation as to the garage; the applicant is using part of the garage as living space, not moving it further out? Attorney DuPont stated that this was correct.
Attorney DuPont stated that he has heard the concerns regarding size and requested informal comments from Board Members as to whether it wished to see revisions; in that case, the applicant would come back.
Mr. Scott questioned the percentage of the expansion of livable space. Mr. Monteforte responded that the home was currently 2,592 square feet and would be increased to 4,709 square feet.
Discussion among the Board noted that Mayor Castleman, Chairman Jacobi and Mr. Drawbaugh all preferred to see a smaller home. Chairman Jacobi commented that he was happy with the removal of some of the driveway but noted that the structure is much larger than the surrounding area; there is too much mass. Mr. Scott commented that the lot is very small and the proposal too large for a lot that size. Mayor Castleman commented that from the road, the house will appear very large.
Ms. Smith commented that most of the homes in the area are level where this property is on a hill.
After further discussion, it was determined to carry the matter at the request of the applicant to the December 2, 2008 meeting. Mr. Drawbaugh Moved as noted. Seconded by Mayor Castleman and a unanimous voice vote followed.
Attorney Leckstein noted for the public that the matter would be heard on December 2nd with no new notice to be provided.
Application of Dr. Frank C. Conte to construct a 5' high closed fence (board on board) on the property at 4 Pine Drive, Block 45, Lot 1, in the R-1 Zone which violates: Walls and fences, which are not open fences, located in a front yard shall not exceed 36" in height
where a 5' high closed fence is proposed within the front yard:
Attorney Leckstein stated for the record that his review of service found it in order and the Board to have jurisdiction over this application.
Dr. Conte was sworn in and advised the Board that he proposed a board on board fence and if proposed too close to the sidewalk, he would move it in. He is trying to gain more privacy. There are 100 year old pines which give a tremendous amount of shade and are not conducive to plantings in the area.
Mr. Drawbaugh stated that he is concerned with the right of way and noted that the neighbors' existing fences are set much further back than the proposal. Dr. Conte again stated that he would move the fence in but noted the Holly trees in the area.
Mr. Drawbaugh stated that 13 feet in from the curb line belongs to the County and suggested that the applicant speak with the Borough Engineer regarding placement. He wanted the fence to be set back as far as the neighbors. Dr. Conte stated that he didn't want to remove the trees.
Attorney Leckstein suggested that the plan be revised to show the fence outside of the right of way without disturbing the Holly and Pine trees. Mr. Chimento Moved to approve as noted. Seconded by Mr. Scott and the following Roll Call was taken:
Affirmative: Mayor Castleman, Chairman Jacobi, Mr. Scott, Mr. Drawbaugh,
Mr. Chimento and Mr. Nuara
Negative: None
Abstentions: None
Application for Amended Site Plan Approval, Use Variance and Sign Applications – Privatera's Florist, Block 17, Lot 6, 483 Harding Road, R-1A Zone:
Mayor Castleman Moved to carry the above application to the November 18, 2008 meeting, at the request of the applicant. Seconded by Mr. Nuara and a unanimous voice vote followed.
Site Plan Application of Walgreen's Corporation, 531 Prospect Avenue, Block 40, Lot 35:
Mayor Castleman Moved to carry the above application to the January 13, 2009 meeting, at the request of the applicant. Seconded by Mr. Nuara and a unanimous voice vote followed.
Miscellaneous: Chairman Jacobi reviewed the sign application of Healthy Glow, a tanning salon, which consisted of two signs, one on the front of the building and the other on the side. After brief discussion, Mr. Drawbaugh Moved to approve the signs as presented. Seconded by Mayor Castleman and the following Roll Call was taken:
Affirmative: Mayor Castleman, Chairman Jacobi, Mr. Scott, Mr. Drawbaugh,
Mr. Chimento and Mr. Nuara
Negative: None
Abstentions: None
There being no further business to come before the Board, Mayor Castleman Moved to adjourn at 7:59 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Chimento and followed by a unanimous voice vote.
For Chairman K. Edward Jacobi:

Met. Timothy Ware: "We Orthodox have the fullness of the faith but we do not live it out. Our treasures remain hidden and we do not live up to what we should be doing...Orthodox Christians are nominal and formal in their faith." A lecture delivered at North Park University in Chicago in Feb of 2011 with His Eminence Metropolitan Kallistos Ware, Professor Emeritus in Eastern Orthodox Studies at Oxford University, and Bishop of Diokleia.

Metropolitan PHILIP Saliba – On the Record
Note October 14, 2010: A few days ago I posted this interview (a very good one, BTW), then took it down, but I am putting it back up but disabling comments. Why did I take it down? I took it down because Met. Philip, a flash-point in the blogosphere right now, is also my hierarch. On a personal level, the man has been very good to me, taking me in and going to bat for me when I was mistreated by another bishop. On a corporate level, I am aware of the complaints and while I think some of them need to get ironed out, some of them are too personal and distract from what I see as the larger problem at hand: a clash of Eastern and Western sensibility and culture that, 1) the OCA was forced to confront when the ties to the Mother Church was cut by the Bolsheviks in 1918, 2) the GOA refuses to confront by building a false mythology of primacy, 3) the AOA has moderated by essentially building two churches side by side but which are now rubbing up against each other. I am not, like some … [Read more...]

It's not often that we post clips from The Office around here — the show's web cultural relevance faded away some time ago — but it still has its moments every now and again. Such is the case here, in the clip embedded above, which has been popping up all over my social media feeds since Friday. And for good reason — it's pretty freakin' funny.
Also, as someone who considers himself a practical joke artist from way back, I have to admit envy for never thinking of doing something like this. Well played, Jim Halpert. Well played.

Broadband tower approved for Vt. townOctober 16,2013Broadband tower
approved for town
GUILFORD The Vermont Public Service Board has approved the building of a 90-foot-tall wireless-broadband tower in Guilford.
The board said VTel Wireless Inc. in Springfield has taken reasonable steps to make sure the structure wont have any undue adverse effect on aesthetics at or near the site on Barney Hill Road.
The Brattleboro Reformer reported that VTel is working to expand its broadband service statewide. The company is not offering traditional cellular service, but rather a high-speed, wireless Internet service that will compete with traditional Internet providers such as cable companies.
The company has run into opposition in proposing new towers in Wardsboro and Newfane.MORE IN This Just InTOWNSHEND — A 26-year-old Townshend man shot his off-again, on-again girlfriend late...

The latest government survey shows 20% of American children had a flu-like illness this month. The absentee rate at one Dougherty County reached 10% last month because of H1-N1 illnesses.
School officials say the numbers are decreasing this month because H1-N1 hit Georgia earlier than most of the rest of the country.
"This month we're achieving about a normal absentee rate for all of our schools but we're expecting to have more impact for regular flu season and from continuing H1-N1," said R. D. Harter of the Dougherty County Schools.
Doctors say H1-N1 is unpredictable, and we could be hit by another wave of the flu.

Flow Tailgate Alaska goes off with perfect conditions in the Chugach Mountains [GALLERY]
Words and photos by Jordan Ingmire
Flow Tailgate Alaska is a gathering of dedicated shredders from around the world. Everything is accessible and anything is possible in Alaska. Backcountry knowledge, sled experience and heli budgets regulate your access and keep you coming back year after year to get to that next peak.
Every year I weigh my financial options and leave all responsibility behind to roll the dice on scoring deep, stable snow on the steepest sustained pitches the world has to offer. This year I rolled the dice and won!
The weather was perfect for the 10-day event in early April. Prior to everyones arrival 3-5 feet of snow fell in the Chugach Mountains, followed by a 5-day window of blue skies and hi-fives. Our days were spent on snowmachines while helicopters buzzed overhead and the brave at heart scaled the massive mountains on foot. Evening stories were exchanged in the beer garden and late night parties went off thanks to the folks at Black Bear Energy. On this trip I can't count how many times I heard the phrase "that was the best day of my life."
The combination of experienced athletes and safety experts at Flow Tailgate Alaska provides a perfect environment for snow enthusiasts of any experience level to push their limits. At Tailgate you can expect to make new friends while shredding the sickest lines of your life.
Thanks to Mark Sullivan for organizing Flow Tailgate Alaska and all the sponsors: Flow Snowboarding, Trew, Dye Snow, Alaskan Brewing Co., Black Bear Energy and ABS.

Noam Pikelny Biography:
Then, in 2006, he got together with mandolin master Chris Thile just as Thile was working on a new solo album called How to Grow a Woman from the Ground. With Thile's long-time band Nickel Creek going on hiatus, he was expressing interest in forming some new kind of string band, and gathered together Pikelny, Gabe Witcher, and a handful of other pickers for a jam session. The quintet had such remarkable chemistry, Thile enlisted them as his new band. The group was known for a time as the How to Grow a Band upon forming in 2006. After a year of solid touring and gathering momentum, they delivered their first fully collaborative band EP, titled Punch and changed their name to the Punch Brothers. (It was also a reference to a Mark Twain story.)
In addition to his work with the Punch Brothers, Pikelny has released a handful of solo recordings through the years, including two full-length albums on Compass Records. He won the Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass in 2010 and earned a Grammy nomination for his 2011 release Beat the Devil and Carry a Rail, which was released in time to qualify for the 2013 nominations for Best Bluegrass Album. The disc reached Number 3 on the US Bluegrass chart and Number 27 on the Top Heatseekers Chart. (In addition to his nomination, the other artists in the category include Dailey & Vincent, the Grascals, Special Consensus, and Steep Canyon Rangers. Check out this full list of 2013 Grammy Nominations.)
Though Pikelny has done some solo work, he doesn't tend to perform a lot of solo shows. He does, however, tour frequently with Thile and the Punch Brothers. To catch them on the road, visit PunchBrothers.com for a full list of tour dates.

Exxon Mobil CEO''s Total Pay Falls in 2009
Total compensation for Exxon Mobil Corp.''s chief executive fell 9 percent last year as earnings for the oil giant hit their lowest point in seven years, according to an Associated Press analysis of a regulatory filing. Chairman and CEO Rex Tillerson received $21.7 million in total compensation last year, compared with $23.92 million in 2008. The bulk of his earnings came in stock awards that Exxon Mobil valued at $16.96 million when granted. Tillerson received a 10 percent boost in salary to $2.057 million, Exxon Mobil said in a proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Tillerson''s performance-based bonus fell 40 percent to $2.4 million, of which he received just half, Exxon officials said. The rest will be paid when predetermined earnings targets are achieved. In addition, Tillerson received $280,925 in compensation for perks such as financial planning, use of company aircraft, personal security and 401k matching contributions.

Weather Underground midday recap for Tuesday, December 18, 2012.
A major winter storm was in its formative stages on Tuesday as low pressure moved into the Rockies and began to rebuild its energy. The storm dropped heavy snowfall across the central Rockies after bringing snow to the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. This low was expected to move across the country and affect the Northeast later in the week.
Ahead of the storm, the Plains saw warmer than normal temperatures as southerly winds drew warm moist air up from the Gulf of Mexico. In addition to the warm temperatures, abundant sunshine spread across the southern and central Plains.
The Northeast saw some wet weather and thunderstorms on Tuesday. A line of strong thunderstorms moved through Philadelphia and New Jersey, but as of mid-afternoon, no damage had been reported.
Further north, more steady rain fell across Pennsylvania and New York, with some snow mixing into the precipitation as it tapered off in western Pennsylvania. Maine also saw light to moderate snowfall, with rain at the coast.
Isolated thunderstorms were also reported across portions of West Virginia and North Carolina.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Tuesday have ranged from a morning low of -9 degrees at Pinedale, Wyo. to a midday high of 86 degrees at Robstown, Texas

This week's edition has James the Aussie and Cyberjag playing the parts of Homer and Hater. You can figure out who is who for yourself. :)
Well Homer, Tampa Bay comes to Charlotte this week. Normally this would be a get-well type of game for the Panthers, but that assumes that there's still some life left in their season. After watching them in New York, I'm not quite sure. Richardson's plan to save money this year obviously includes saving the airfare and lodging involved in any potential playoff destinations.
Oh Hater, how misguided you are. To the Panthers last week was just another season opener, to the Giants it was a massive, all encompassing quest to regain their dignity after getting embarrassed by us last year. They threw everything they had at us, and still needed a meltdown at the QB position to pull it out. This week: It's very, very different and the Bucs will learn that.
Did you see the scores last week? The Bucs handed a good Cleveland Browns team a loss, and did so in impressive fashion. They got down early, but once they settled down they became the anti-Panthers. Instead of abandoning the run in a frenzied panic because they fell behind by a few points, they tightened up the defense, stayed with their offensive plan, and pulled out the victory in the fourth quarter. Amazingly enough, when the game ended (a game that they trailed most of the day), they had actually run more than they passed.
Look, I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers... but frankly, Oakland fans will learn about grace and dignity before the Bucs are any real threat. Their defense is extremely young, too young to deal with the offense we're going to be running up their throats on Sunday. Sure it was nice to see them come back from a deficit last week, but that's nice in the same way its nice to see someone win a 'participation' award.
And this week it isn't going to be a 'few points', it's going to be a bunch of points. I can see it now--"Mr. Stewart's hand, I'd like you to meet Mr. Barber's face." Face it, they're not tough enough to hang with us. And we may not know for sure which QB we'll be starting, but either way I guarantee Moore or Clausen will be better than Freeman.
Yeah, right. Listen, Josh Freeman is like the Ben Roethlisberger of the NFC South, and he's already a clutch player. Against Cleveland he completed 61% of his passes, including a 33 yard strike in the fourth to put the Bucs ahead for good. Don't look for him to be intimidated by the blitz either, assuming the Panthers ever execute one properly. He's got the footwork to move around in the pocket enough to make Brown miss by *this* much, and he can take off at a moment's notice. He's young, and is only getting better.
So let me get this straight, I'm supposed to be afraid of a Sophomore QB with a bum thumb who could only get 182 yards against the Cleveland Browns? I'm positively shaking in my boots. And what about Spurlock, Stroughter and Williams? No, they're not a personal injury Law Firm from the 1950's, they're Tampa Bay's receiving corps, and let's not confuse them with Manningham, Nicks and Smith--not for a second.
Carolina was right in line in allowing 263 yards from Eli Manning, his 2009 average was 255. We also picked him off 3 times and held him to a lower QB rating than his 2009 average. If we hold Freeman to his average, or below his average we can expect less than 200 passing yards… no threat at all. Carolina's DBs will eat him up.
The only reason Freeman may not get 200 yards is because unlike Carolina, Tampa is a run-first team. They've got a coach who takes it seriously, and they'll pound it against our undersized line all day long. Remember when the Panthers used to do that? Remember how teams folded in the fourth? At least the average Panther fan won't have to see it happen in person, the Stadium will be deserted after three.
Williams is healthy, Graham is a running back at the fullback position, and Freeman is always a threat to take off. Not that it's going to matter much who's back there. With the holes that Jeff Faine and Davin Joseph are going to open up, even I could gain positive yardage on the Panthers.
Now you want to look at the run game? Or really, at the lack thereof? Cadillac Williams looked more like a Pinto, averaging 3.4 ypc against 2009's 28th ranked run defense. Carolina's linebackers combined for 33 tackles last Sunday, and that's before we even begin to talk about how effective Tyler Brayton and Charles Johnson were against the run. The only reason Tampa had any semblance of a running game on paper was due to a 33 yard scramble from their QB. They wont get the breaks this week they did last one.
They don't need breaks, they just need for the Panthers to play like they did in New York. Even Keydrick Vincent can protect the quarterback against the rush we brought against the Giants. Think he's afraid of Derek Landri? But if you want to talk about the passing game, I've got something that you just won't believe. The Bucs have actually developed receivers. Yes Carolina, it is possible to do that. It's possible to throw to more than one receiver too, and Freeman already gets that.
Tired of talking about the running game already? I don't much blame you! No matter how you try and spin it, there really isn't a lot to talk about there.
And finally we get to the pass rush, which I'm really looking forward to. Carolina didn't look as dominant last week as they did in the preseason, but I hope Tampa Bay thinks they can count on that again because they will be sorely mistaken. Our pass rush comes secondary to preventing the big play, and New York had plenty of big play potential… does TB?
Did you say New York had big play potential? The only thing required for a big play against the Panthers is to throw at Munnerlyn, or to the area that Godfrey's supposed to be covering. There are 30 other teams in the league who can do that, and don't think Tampa didn't take notice.
We won't be afraid to safety blitz, linebacker blitz, corner blitz… blitz, blitz, blitz and that doesn't fair well for Josh Freeman. Their offensive line pales in comparison to New York's also… and they have a tight end in Kellen Winslow who would rather be a receiver than block. This equation = a lot of pain for the Buccaneers.
Oh come on! If you're not worried about Winslow, then you can't have seen any Panthers games in the Fox era. Our defenses always get gashed by Tight Ends, and the Bucs have one who can run with the best. The Bucs are going to move the ball on Sunday, we shouldn't even be arguing about that.
I don't think so, but if it makes you happy we'll agree that they may get some movement between the 20s. But you've got to put points on the board to win. and that's going to be difficult for Freeman. Did I mention we intercepted him five times last year? In one game?
The Panthers offense, on the other hand, will pound the ball all day long against the Tampa Bay defense. That means that a full stadium will enjoy watching the Bucs gently fold in the fourth as Williams and Stewart blow the game open.
New York showed the league how simple it is to shut down the Panthers vaunted running attack. All you need to do is get a one point lead and watch two star running backs become blockers. Everyone knows that Davidson is afraid to run the ball if the Panthers need to catch up, and the nice thing is that it doesn't matter how much time is left, or what the field position is. An early field goal by the Bucs will make the Panthers one-dimensional on offense.
That assumes they get a lead. The Bucs gave up a touchdown to Jake Delhomme and some receiver who should be on a practice squad at best. The Panthers receivers are going to feast on that secondary. Talib is a decent cornerback, but Ronde Barber hasn't been Ronde Barber in about 20 years.
When it comes to defending the pass, all that means is putting two bodies on Steve Smith. No one else on the Panthers roster scares anyone. LaFell can get open, but can't catch. Jarrett can catch, but can't get open. Edwards won't play, so it won't matter if he can do either. He needs more time anyway, it's tough to go straight into the NFL after eight years of playing high school ball. The only other receivers the Panthers have are the tight ends, and judging by last week the Panthers don't throw to their side of the field anyway.
Just relax a little, ok? The Panthers are playing at home. Matt Moore loves playing in Charlotte, he's got a quarterback rating of over 100 there, and is looking for a little redemption after last week. And if he can't go, there's no better place for a future franchise quarterback to get his start than in a friendly stadium?
Matt Moore can't throw to his left unless he's tracked Smitty there across the field, and Jimmy Clausen is obviously auditioning for a future stint on Dancing with the Stars. If Moore is starting, expect the Bucs to pretty much ignore the check-down and let him toss it deep. Tampa needs to put it's "hands" team out there at Safety, because the way Matty Vice throws into coverage, anything over 10 yards is an interception waiting to happen.
And If it's Clausen, then they can ignore the deep ball because he's going to go through his progression whether he needs to or not, and find the receiver who's closest to the line of scrimmage. I can just hear Davidson now. "Nice completion percentage kid, but we need a first down every once in a while."
I know there's a real fan deep down inside you. Give our guys some credit--Fox is one of the best coaches in the league and he'll have our guys ready. We're going to run, and run, and run some more. And when we have to get the first, we've got Smitty and Rosario. The Panthers are going to make it a nice ball-control game, and show the league that we haven't forgotten what power running is like. They'll score early and often, and will make the Bucs one-dimensional on offense.
I hope it works out that way, but there's no way the Panthers make that happen. Their defense lacks experience, and they still don't know how to adjust. I don't think the Bucs will score like the Saints do, but they're going to move the ball all day long. Williams and Graham will beat our line down, and Freeman either uses his legs or arm to pick up the big third downs.
I can easily see Tampa putting up 24 on Sunday. And what with Davidson's inability to coach an offense that puts more points than that on the board, the Panthers won't match it. You're right, I love Carolina, but I'll love them a lot more when Richardson fires Furney and gets a coach who won't mind airing it out and playing a don't even bend in the first place defense. Of course, he'll have to spend money, so it's just a dream. Bucs 24, Panthers 13.
Bucs 24? Are you adding up the points they're scoring in the next three games to get that much? Seriously, Freeman is going to spend a lot of time running tomorrow. Don't be surprised if he's Tampa's leading rusher either, because WIlliams and Graham have never done a thing against Carolina.
Last year's third ranked pass defense will make its' return next week, as the coaches adjust to what they saw in the season's first live action. And the Bucs will find it extremely hard to move the ball. Williams will go over 100, Stewart will pound out 60 tough yards and a couple of touchdowns, and Matt Moore will look like Matt Moore again. The Panthers win going away, 31-9.


text: I have been gathering as much info as I could find about our team . This is what I think we will see this year . The (5) Hammons has lost 30 plus pounds and worked with a trainer for most of the off season to increase his stamina . By all accounts he will get the most minutes . Simpson some have called the most impressive of all the Boilers . Including Issac Haas whom we were all but a lock to sign until he saw Jay play . Haas left from his visit with the reality that Hammons going pro was not the only obstacle for playing time . Travis Carrol his experience will get him minutes at the 4 & 5 . He will play the 4 when Jay plays the five . Basil yes he has been practicing at the (5) why IDK . The (4) now this is crowded and easy to see why a non motivated Hale left the team . Expect Peck to play the early minutes here . Carrol and Smotherman along with limited time from Ray . Also Kendall has logged some practice time learning the Position . The (3) look for Ray Davis to start here . Kendall by all accounts is just to good not to be on the court . While everyone has heard about his shot . He also has a 6'11 wing span that allows him to cheat off of his man and deflect passes into the paint . A coaches kid he understands the game well beyond his years . The (2) Terone will eat up all but a handful of minutes his leadership will be on the court . Expect Carter to play if teams go to a zone or sag off to help on Hammons . The (1) I expect Ronnie and Bryson to log about the same minutes here as Painter wants to keep fresh legs on the ball. Carter will also see sometime here much like Kendall his shot will be need on the court . This is how I see the preseason . We will need to get down to an 8 or 9 man rotation for league play . But for now to much talent is a good thing to have . My starter are Hammons , Peck, Davis and the Brothers . To start the season however I expect Ray to move to the 4 and Kendall to enter the starting rotation after a few games . What do you guys think . And where is Charles preseason poll thing ?

In a previous post, I wrote about the pastor's spouse's emotions during a time of ministry transition. You will need to read that post HERE for this post to make complete sense.That post resonated with several who are dealing with that issue. My post was to bring awareness to those emotions, but as I expected, it generated questions.
People wanted to know how…how do they help their spouse transition?
Great question. I don't have all the answers, but I have some.
Here are 10 ways to help your spouse in a job transfer:
Celebrate what she's doing – Many times your excitement will seem to diminish what your spouse is doing. I was talking to a young pastor recently who is experiencing great success in his new church. At the same time, his wife is watching their children. I reminded him that changing diapers on the children he loves is just as powerful. He knew that, but he needed a reminder to celebrate that fact.
Help her explore…pace herself – Eventually, she needs to find her own identity. It will take time. Allow her the freedom to do so, even if that means you have to keep the children some so she can.
Don't lock her into your world – Don't dictate her ministry. My wife and I our partners, but she is not me. Nor am I her. Her interests and mine are different. That's okay. It's actually by design. She makes me better. And, in a much smaller way I'm sure, I make her better.
Listen to her – That's always important, but even more so in times of stress or change. You'll be busier than ever. But she will need you…more than ever. Listen. The practice will serve you and your marriage in the days ahead.
Let her grieve – She may mourn over the separation from friends. She may miss the old house. She may complain at times that the supermarket isn't as easy to navigate. It's a part of the acclimating process. Give it time.
Be conscious – It won't be the same. It probably never will be. Her role will be different. Your role will be different. You will have different friends. Your schedules may be altered. Your routines will change. Be conscious that this creates stress in people and relationships.
Be present when home – When you finally get home, be fully home. Shut down. Have some times where you quit everything work related and be with your family. Give your family the attention they deserve.
Celebrate your new area – Explore the new city together. Discover the hidden gems and be a tourist for a while. (I wrote a post about how to acclimate to a new city HERE.)
Keep her informed – She will naturally feel somewhat isolated from your exciting new world. Don't allow that emotion because you've excluded her from it. Make her feel a part of things as much as you can by giving her details of your day. I realize this will require even more patience, but during transition she needs to be even more a part of your day that she missed.
Be patient – It may take longer for her to acclimate to the new environment than you think it should. That's okay. She's not you. Don't expect her to respond to change the same way you would.
Those are my suggestions. If you're in a time of transition, for the good of your marriage and yourself, be intentional!
Have you transitioned recently? What recommendations do you have?
