A science fiction comic book come to life onstage as a vintage-style radio play, The Intergalactic Nemesis is a theater production single-handedly defining the new genre of "live-action graphic novel." The family-friendly show features live actors, hand-drawn comic-book artwork projected two stories high, and fun retro Foley sound effects, with a live keyboard score. The story, packed with pop culture references to cult favorites like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Star Wars, pits three heroes against a force of alien sludge monsters set to invade Earth, in a spectacle the Austinist describes as "totally nuts and a ton of fun!"
PLUS—Meet and greet with the stars after the show in the Zellerbach lobby! Free to ticket holders of The Intergalactic Nemesis.

Sophie Thomas: There's no such thing as waste
What have the giant WEEE Man at Eden and a citizens advice book from 1942 got in common? Designer Sophie Thomas reveals the answer. And reminds us that there really is no such thing as waste.
As a designer involved in the shaping of things, I remember being so excited to hear about the reclamation of a quarry in Cornwall for such a great project as Eden.
Back there for a design conference last month, sitting in the dappled shade of the WEEE Man, it certainly felt like a bright, re-purposed and creative place that inspires change. Eden seems to show us a glimpse of things as they could be.
I'm glad to see this giant robot, made of electronic waste, now residing here permanently to remind us about what happens to things when we've finished with them.
He set me thinking that we're actually filling most of our holes in the ground not with more beautiful Eden Projects, but with a huge amount of landfill.
He also reminded me of a book that my mum lent me. It's a publication that all households were given in 1942 as a reference on how to live in times of rationing and the tight regulations of War.
The most interesting section for me is around salvage; it was forbidden to use it paper for unnecessary advertising or to throw it away. That's quite a leap to the 550,000 tonnes of direct marketing that gets landfilled every year in the UK.
Even as new products begin their lives they've already used up a lot of the Earth's resources and created a huge amount of waste, for example through their extraction from the earth, or their manufacturing.
It's what environmentalists call an object's 'ecological rucksack'. For instance a gold ring weighing just 5g has around 2 tonnes of raw materials behind it and even a plastic disposable toothbrush has a rucksack of 1.5kg.
So many things around us are designed without thinking about how we can recover the valuable materials inside. For instance my disposable toothbrush is created by heat molding at least three different types of plastic together, making it impossible to recycle.
Products tend to reach the end of their lives pretty quickly too. According to leading material scientists, 90% of the things we buy end up in the waste stream within six months.
I've been to quite a few landfill and waste reclamation sites in the last few years, and the processing of waste (or 'resource' as it is now more accurately called) is making progress, but there is still a lot to do.
That's why today, as a designer, I'm working on how to get back all those useful materials embedded in my products and outcomes so we can use them again easily. This concept is inspired by nature and is called 'cradle to cradle' design.
By recovering the product's pure raw materials from the waste stream as different 'nutrients', these precious resources are re-usable as something else in the future.
My industry is at a pivotal moment. We can sit back and shrug our shoulders, pushing the responsibilities back on to manufacturers and consumers or we take on the challenge ourselves, creating amazing things that help shift behaviour and shape the type of world we want to see.
Founding director of thomas.matthews, the UK pioneers in sustainable communication design, Sophie Thomas plays a vocal part in promoting sustainable thinking. She is also Co-founder of social enterprise Three Trees Don't Make a Forest and of greengaged, an organisation that creates events and networks to encourage the debate around sustainable design.
Find out how Eden is following a Waste Neutral philosophy to reduce landfill and is working with the mining industry to help tackle the environmental impact of metals and minerals extraction.

2 responses to Sophie Thomas: There's no such thing as waste
Ah, the WEEE man is still there at Eden! I wasn't sure if he had moved on somewhere else. Sophie your thoughts capture the stark reality of what we see working in the electrical recycling sector. Some households throw away perfectly good domestic appliances to buy new ones that suit the newly painted kitchen better. The impact is vast amounts of toxic waste heading for UK landfill sites, some of which is redirected for recycling and/or reuse by recycling companies and charities. As a society, we view most things as disposable, in contrast to previous generations. But it's easier to change than people think!
agree, always sustaiable design, eco design, and green design

Today's Kindle Daily Deal — Saturday, May 12 – Two Great Reads for under $2 – Save 80% on Darrell James' Mystery NAZARETH CHILD, plus … Don't miss Gail Cleare's DESTINED, A NOVEL OF THE TAROT (Today's Sponsor)
But first, a word from … Today's Sponsor
Destined, a novel of the Tarot
Here's the set-up:
Follow Emily's journey to self discovery, community, spirit and love. A contemporary magic-realism romance with engaging multi-cultural characters and lyrical descriptions.
This is the year Emily Ross takes control of her destiny and learns to deliberately shape the future. Emily has always known she is different. She attracts spirits, has prophetic dreams and can sense people's thoughts. Lonely and longing to fit in, she hides her true self. But all this changes when she finally gets the courage to walk away from her safe routine and takes a job at "Paradise," a fabulous curio shop owned by Henry Paradis, the occult scholar who becomes her spiritual mentor. Recognizing her talents as the valuable gifts they are, Henry teaches Emily to accept her magical nature and "look forward." Emily chooses the path to light and happiness, opening her heart and braving the obstacles she must conquer along the way. She finds lifelong friends, falls in love with an incredibly sexy man, learns the power of desire and intention, faces her worst fears and is swept toward awakening.
The mystical images of the Tarot's archetypal trump cards chart the way, 22 sequential steps along the path to success known as "The Fool's Journey." Illustrated by images from the Payen Tarot of Marseilles (1713), which is the oldest surviving Tarot deck.
From the reviewers:
Winner of Honorable Mention in General Fiction at the 2012 Green Book Festival
Publishers Weekly says: "Each chapter of this unassuming novel is illustrated with a card from the tarot, and the contents of each section are loosely related to the meaning of the corresponding card. Cleare's narrative follows Emily, a young woman on a path of self-realization and awakening…. The novel is well plotted. Readers already interested in the tarot and its uses for divination will enjoy Cleare's serious meditations on the meanings of the cards, and the way the tarot plays out in Emily's life. What's more, Cleare offers a little bit of self-help and a little bit of chick lit, packaged together with a positive, make-your-own-destiny message: a pleasant, comforting read."
Midwest Book Review says: "A thoughtful and much recommended novel of tarot. Through the unknown, we can find something magnificent. A novel of romance and the life of the occult and the tarot, it's a fascinating break into this culture and the belief in mysticism."
Dolores Stewart Riccio, author of Circle of Five and the Cass Shipton mysteries says: "The beguiling tale of the transformative power of love and friendship. An enjoyable and enlightening novel."
Patricia Grasso, bestselling romance novelist and author of Marrying the Marquis says: "Gail Cleare delivers a solid debut novel, DESTINED. Ms. Cleare's characters are well-drawn and likeable, her plot and ideas spectacularly original. Enjoy!"

One fighter is looking to continue his win streak and start to climb back up to facing elite competition again before time runs out on him. The other is back in the UFC for the third time after a long break and a drop in weight. It'll be wrestler vs. submission grappler when Aaron Simpson (9-2, 5-2 UFC) meets Eric Schafer (12-5-2, 3-4 UFC) in a middleweight bout at UFC 136.
Neither fighter is currently ranked at middleweight on the USA Today/BE Consensus Rankings, but a couple of rankers have Simpson on their lists and a win here might earn a couple more. This is only Schafer's second fight at middleweight, but a win over a solid veteran would see him earn some consideration at least. This middleweight UFC 136 fight will be on the preliminary card, which will be streamed live on Facebook. The Facebook stream begins at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.
How do these two stack up?
Schafer: 34 years old | 6'3" | 76.5" reach
Simpson: 37 years old | 6'0" | 73" reach
What have these two done recently?
Schafer: W - Chris Albandia (SUB) | L - Jason Brilz (UD) | L - Ryan Bader (UD)
Simpson: W - Brad Tavares (UD) | W - Mario Miranda (UD) | L - Mark Munoz (UD)
How did these two get here?
Eric "Red" Schafer first entered the UFC in 2006 as a light heavyweight, and won his debut bout quickly by arm-triangle. He faced a massive step up in competition for his next two bouts against Michael Bisping and Stephan Bonnar, and dropped both of them by TKO. After two wins on the regional circuit he was brought back at UFC Fight Night 15 where he submitted Houston Alexander, and he followed that up with a TKO win over Antonio Mendes. Two decision losses in a row to Ryan Bader and Jason Brilz ended his second stint in the organization though. After a long layoff, a drop to middleweight, and a quick win in a regional bout, Schafer was brought in to replace Jason "Mayhem" Miller when he was pulled from the bout for Ultimate Fighter duty and gets a new lease on UFC life at 185 pounds.
Aaron "A-Train" Simpson started his Zuffa career in the WEC, where his 18 second knockout of David Avellan at WEC 36 made quite an impression. Once the WEC middleweight fighters were absorbed into the UFC Simpson carried on winning, taking three victories in a row over increasingly strong competition. He finally met his match at the The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale though, and his name was Chris Leben. Leben handed Simpson his first career loss via TKO, and Simpson also dropped his next matchup against good friend and fellow wrestler Mark Munoz. He was able to rebound with two decision wins over Mario Miranda and Brad Tavares, and will look to continue his winning streak here.
Why should you care?
Schafer has always had trouble with good wrestlers, and Simpson definitely qualifies there. It will be interesting to see if having a size advantage for once will help Schafer in his quest to stay in the UFC.

Adobe Alchemy Creates Flash Applications with C and C++
Adobe Systems has issued a prerelease version of project Alchemy, a small tool that compiles C and C++ code for programs running on ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM2). The idea is to expand the capabilities of Web applications running on Adobe Flash Player 10 and Adobe AIR 1.5.
Adobe's plan with Alchemy is to encourage porting of existing platform-independent C and C++ libraries and their functions to Web applications. Targeted are computation-intensive and complex applications, such as audio and video transcoding, parsing of XML data and cryptographic functions. These use cases captured on the Flash platform can then benefit from ActionScript 3.0, thereby leading to complete Flash applications.
An Alchemy-ported program should run somewhat faster than an equivalent ActionScript one. However, it can run two to 10 times slower than a native C/C++ program due to the Flash functionality with its virtual machine. To make up for this, the translated libraries will benefit from Flash Player's security protection, such as in sandboxes.
To experiment with Alchemy, download a free 45.4 Mbyte package for Linux, but first agreeing to Adobe's licensing. The accompanying Wiki provides sample libraries and encourages participants to share their ported libraries with the community. The requirements include a minimum of Java 1.4, Perl and Flash Player 10.
Adobe sees Alchemy as a research project and waves any support for it. It's unclear whether the tool will ever go beyond beta status, but this hinges on the interest level of users and the feedback Adobe eagerly requests. Because of its early release, take some of the ported results with a grain of salt and hold off on using them in production systems and applications.

Thanks to all of the wonderful bloggers in the online world who use their medium to help spread the word about the Jimmie Hale Mission. Here is an excerpt from one such blog:
In case you might worry that I'll be out of practice on my thrifting by Spring, think again. I still like to pop in a thriftstore every chance I get and this was one I had not been in before. Mission: Possible Thriftstore over in the Irondale area, which benefits the Jimmie Hale Mission. I scoured the plates and dishware and came up with this beautiful large white bowl for $1.09, with pretty scrollwork on the edges and of course it came home with me.
Then, I spotted 4 of these ever-so-cute desserts plates, all sporting delicious winter drinks in the middle: Hot Chocolate & Mulled Cider
Cappuccini and Coffee
Aren't they cute? They aren't old or anything, but I just thought they were too adorable to pass up at 39 cents each.
And my big splurge of the day? Passing by the ladies clothes, this buttery yellow cotton sweater by J. Jill jumped out at me and for $4, looks to be in perfect condition. I love sweaters and it fits like a glove!
Swinging by a yardsale on the way home from the gym last Saturday a.m. (even after 10:00), I snapped up this beautiful Made in Portugal white pierced bowl for only $2. I saw it as I was walking up the driveway and had to keep myself from sprinting for it.
Those of you who have started white dish collections, be patient and take your time. They will come to you and you'll end up with more than you can imagine in just a short time. You'll probably see this beauty in my Christmas decorating.
So, see....I'm staying in practice!

Happy President's Day! We love our founding presidents for sure. We celebrate their day by working on the house and trying to keep the kids from watching movies or playing video games ALL day. Day time clothes are optional. Bathrobes and fuzzy pajamas are acceptable for the dress code. (We talk about patriotism nearly every day, so I imagine it will come up today as well.)
Last night I knew I needed a plan if I wanted this to be a happy day. Hubs and I each wrote out a "would be nice to accomplish" list. Knowing that we would probably only get one thing done. Then I did a quick search for an idea to keep the kids occupied so I could work. Schedule for the kids: clean rooms; waffles with mom; special activity; play in the snow; board games; electronics after 3pm.
I found a pin from Sugar Bee Crafts written by guest blogger Love and Laundry on making Silly Sludge or Gak. All the ingredients were on my basement shelf, minimal mess, short time involvement for me. Long time involvement for kids. Perfection.
After they mixed the glue,water and coloring together. We dissolved 1/2 tsp borax into 1/4 cup hot water. And poured that into the glue. It immediately started a chemical reaction creating a smooth polymer.
Not all of the water absorbed into the Gak right away. I used a spoon to lift the polymer out of the remaining water and onto a piece of foil. (Wax paper would have worked too, but we were out.) The kids kneaded it and kneaded it until it was smooth ball. Some of the kids opted to work the remaining water into their sludge. That worked out well.
Their first reactions were mixed. Heather didn't want to touch it at all, but soon was enjoying herself with the rest.
It's kind of a rule around here, that we don't laugh when someone else is crying. (It's only fun when everyone is having fun.) I broke the rule.
Caleb is our sensitive one. He went after Grant and brought him back to play on his shoulders.
Eventually they all had fun. 2 hours of it.
The next two pictures show you a sneak peak of how our kitchen project is going :). There's my lovely craigslist range in the background and a few of our cabinets in place. There's still a lot left to do, but my heart is pretty happy right now. Darren is working hard today and I may have a kitchen sink in a month or two.
One of the things I loved about this activity was experimenting with colors. We used the cheap liquid food colors that come in red, yellow, green and blue. In order from left to right these are the color combos:
1 drop yellow, 1 drop red (pale orange)
2 drops blue
1 drop blue, 1 drop green (bluegreen)
2 drops green
2 drops red, 1 drop blue (pinky lavender)
1 drop red, 2 drops blue (purple)

East Texans are enjoying Christmas in July this weekend.
The City of Tyler Parks and Recreation Department kicked off the fifth annual Christmas in July Arts and Crafts Fair on Saturday.
More than 50 vendors, some local and some from out-of-state, have filled Tyler's Rose Garden Center with unique items for all ages.
"I have shopped for myself this time," said Debbie Isham with a laugh.
"I'm telling you, I just had to get my lavender goat's milk, that's one item. Then there's some other things that I've looked at and I've even called my parents, so it wasn't just for me," Isham said.
There are items for all ages, but the most popular stop for the kids? Santa Clause. Santa himself is vacationing in Tyler for the weekend.
If you missed out on Saturday, the fair will be open Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The fair is free, but any donations made will benefit Tyler's Parks and Recreation Department.

Sheridan Admans, investment research manager at The Share Centre, gives his thoughts on what to expect from companies announcing results w/c 25 February 2013.
Associated British Foods (trading statement)
Investors will be looking for the impressive results from Primark that they have got used to seeing. Lower profits from its sugar operation are expected in 2013 due to lower EU production targets and higher beet costs.
Given higher agriculture and commodity costs and the strain on consumer spending, investors should expect performance in its grocery and ingredients operation to see pressures on the segment's profit margin. This could be offset by the turnaround of its AG Agri operation.
We currently list Associated British Foods as a BUY
Companies reporting today include Bunzl (Q4 results) – BUY, Pearson (Q4 results) – HOLD
Croda International (Q4 results)
Market expectations appear to have been rising for Croda's Q4 results. Investors will be hoping for a more confident update after the slight slowing in the November announcement, combined with comments from the CEO regarding volatile trading conditions.
With a significant part of its sales coming from Europe, the push into emerging markets is important for the group to continue on its strong growth path, so investors will be keen to see evidence of this.
We currently list Croda International as a HOLD
GKN (full year results)
As the demand for new car sales waned globally in 2012 and slowed to an eight year low in China, investors will be looking for signs that GKN's aerospace and land systems divisions are picking up the slack.
On a positive note investors should see GKN's land system operations benefit from agricultural demand in the U.S and European markets.
Looking ahead GKN could see some pick up in 2013 as demand in China may also improve; the region is the second biggest market for GKN products.
We currently list GKN as a HOLD
Companies reporting today include CRH (Q4 results) – HOLD, Inmarsat (Q4 results) – BUY
ITV (Q4 results)
ITV's share price recently hit a five year high on the back of vague bid speculation and continued signs of improving advertising rates, especially for the first three months of 2013. There has been growing pressure for the company to return cash to investors so an announcement of a share buyback is expected in this update. Updates on the studio business which has been an important part of the recovery process for ITV, will also be worth noting.
We currently list ITV as a BUY
Petrofac (Q4 results)
Shares in the sector have experienced a little dip lately as an Italian company issued a major profits warning, however Petrofac's portfolio remains profitable and orders remain strong, with the likelihood of further contract awards. Investors will be looking for indicators from management of any possible weakness in the sector as well as progress reports on the various projects and contracts.
We currently list Petrofac as a BUY
Companies reporting today include Carillion (Q4 results) – HOLD, Capital Shopping Centres (Q4 results) – HOLD, Weir Group (Q4 results) – HOLD, Centrica (Q4 results) – BUY
Spirent (full year results)
The evolution of technology in the telecoms sector is likely to be a continuous source of growth for the company with further benefits from 4G offerings and the increasing use of mobile computing and smartphones. However investors will be looking for further negative comments related to spending within the telecoms industry lately and the outlook for 2013. Conditions in Q3 were difficult and so investors will look to see if this has continued into the final quarter.
We currently list Spirent as a BUY
Economic Diary
27 February, Second Estimate of GDP, Q4 2012 – ONS
According to early estimates of UK GDP the UK economy contracted by 0.3% in the final quarter of 2012. With employment rising, some economists have questioned the accuracy of the ONS data, and have argued that the UK's output is not contracting as severely as the ONS stats suggest. Will today's second estimate confirm the earlier findings, be revised upwards, or be revised downwards?

Last month the Purchasing Managers' Index for UK manufacturing fell slightly from December's 15 month high of 51.2, to 50.8.

In the Lowcountry, dozens of Bluffton citizens spoke up Wednesday night about the town's lack of a noise ordinance.
The public session lasted an hour and a half as people stepped up one by one to address the Bluffton Planning Commission at Town Hall.
Among the suggestions people made were to cut off the loud music at 10 p.m. instead of midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, ban outdoor music altogether or have the homeowners move.
"The residents would like the same rights as others in Bluffton, the right to a quiet enjoyment of their property," said Bluffton citizen Stephen Loper.
"So I would just ask that maybe we could just try, as a community, to cut the music off for four or five days and see what happens," added resident Harper Finucan.
Bluffton Police also conducted a survey which found that more than 50% of people agreed there is a noise problem, particularly on Thursdays through Saturdays.

text: Yeah, so things aren't looking to hot for the Jets right now...if anyone has any questions, please ask away. Just to get things going, I want Schottenheimer gone, Sanchez should not be benched on Sunday, and thank you for Santonio Holmes. Hopefully it will be a competitive game, and maybe the Jets can score a touchdown, but who knows. Clearly, the Steelers have been hot, but without Polamalu anything can happen. Ask away!

The Oxford Handbook of Byzantine Studies. Edited by Elizabeth Jeffreys, John Haldon, Robin Cormack. Oxford University Press (2008) Byzantium: The Surprising Life of a Medieval Empire by Judith Herrin. Princeton University Press (2008) Ask the average college student to identify the 1,100 year old empire that was, at various points in its history, the political, commercial, artistic and ecclesiastical center of Europe and, indeed, was responsible for the very survival and flourishing of what we know today as Europe and you're not likely to get the correct answer: Byzantium. The reasons for this are manifold but not least is that as Western Europe came into its own in the later Middle Ages and Renaissance, Byzantium gradually succumbed piecemeal to the constant conquering pressure of Ottomans and Arabs. When Constantinople finally fell in 1453 (two years after the birth of the Genoese Christopher Columbus), Europe, now cut off from many land routes to Asian trade, was already … [Read more...]
Review: How the Byzantines Saved Europe
Fr. Alexander Schmemann on Primacy in the Orthodox Church
Many of the current jurisdictional controversies within the Orthodox Church involving the Ecumenical Patriarch, relations between Constantinople and Moscow, the status of the "autocephalies" -- even the future of the American Orthodox Church -- hinge on the question of primacy. While Orthodox Christians have rejected the Roman model of primacy as "supreme power" over the Bishop and local Church, the question of primacy within the Orthodox Church is a complete muddle. In "The Idea of Primacy in Orthodox Ecclesiology," an essay written in 1960 and now available on the AOI main site, Fr. Alexander Schmemann examines various aspects of the primacy question, an issue he describes as "on the agenda for our time." As he reminds us, the ecclesiological interpretation of primacy -- regional, autocephalous, and "universal" -- is "virtually absent" from from Orthodox theology. "We badly need a clarification of the nature and functions of all these primacies and, first of all, of the very concept … [Read more...]

Welcome to the hallowed OTTOTD for this wonderful Thursday morning. If you haven't already, you should go back and read yesterdays OTTOTD and earlier days as well. Both will provide valuable insight into what might occur in this thread. I'm personally hoping for something to top the gun rights and birther talk that has been happening for the last few days.
Maybe we'll get lucky and religion will come up. Anything is possible.

Pupils gear up for cycling challenge
Updated 6:42pm Monday 25th February 2013 in News By Joanna Morris
HUNDREDS OF children, parents and teachers are gearing up for a big cycling challenge.
A giant cycling and scooting competition will see schools in Darlington encourage their staff and students to get on their bikes.
The country-wide Big Pedal 2013 race will see schools across the country compete for a chance to win big national prizes, like bike storage.
Closer to home, a lively performance from a Cycling Stunt Team will be the first prize for whichever Darlington school comes out on top. The competition spans 15 days from Thursday, February 28 to Wednesday, March 20 and will see pupils compete to win a virtual stage race.
Each real-time journey to school cycled by staff and pupils will contribute to the speed and distance the school races virtually. The Big Pedal 2012 saw over 890,000 journeys to school made by bike and scooter by pupils at almost 1,000 schools across the UK.
Councillor David Lyonette, Darlington Council's Cabinet Member of Transport, said: "The Big Pedal shows children and parents how easy it is to get around on two wheels, whilst at the same time saving money, boosting their health and helping the environment."

Thomasville - Cheryl Walters knows just about every crooked cranny of the Lapham Patterson house. "I sort of feel it's not your average house and anybody who comes to see it, just marvels at how it's managed to stand so long and be so crooked," says Walters.
The home has no right angles, is completely asymmetrical, and it's big claim to fame, at least in Thomasville, is that it is was one of the first privately owned homes here to have indoor plumbing.
Walters says, "It celebrates American ingenuity in house building. It has some things in it that you won't see anywhere else in the world." Like a walk through fireplace, with double flue chimneys, or the fact that there are no hallways, and there is an exterior door out of every room. All things Walters hopes to continue showing, if the state doesn't shut her down.
"I just love this building," she says, "I am determined that as long as we can show it to the public, I'll be here showing it to the public."
The main reason the Lapham Patterson house is on the state list of possible closures is because they don't bring in enough money each year through visitors, but Walters says you can't put a price on the historical and educational value of this home, and that's why these doors should not be closed permanently.
"You can't assign a value to it. It's one of a kind and we have thousands of visitors every year, and the building is famous," says Walters. Hopefully fame will bring this house good fortune.
If you want to see the Lapham Patterson House stay open, you can join their friends group by calling the house. The state has not made a decision on which parks and sites might be shut down.

If you are like most of the folks around town, you lost power last night. If you're like an extra special few, you may have had some trees down in the street, blocking the roadway.
If you're like us, you not only lost power and had trees down on the street, blocking you in at home, you also lost multiple centuries-old trees to the high winds, that missed your house by inches—not to mention, missing the bedroom that we were using as our safe haven, by mere feet.
When the storms were approaching, like most we were watching TV, checking Weather.com, making sure we were out of harm's way. Then, all of a sudden the sirens blared and we knew it was time to take cover. Before we knew it, we were frantically gathering candles and whisking Ava from a sound sleep to hustle into a downstairs bedroom.
With candles lit and my computer lighting the now-powerless house, we were bunkered down, dogs and all, having a little slumber party. Despite the circumstances, we were having fun; Ava was enjoying the sudden awakening—she was placed on a large bed, surrounded by mom, dad and her two four-legged brothers. We gave her a flashlight and the room suddenly transformed into a scene from "Xanadu": lights flickering, flashlights swirling, a toddler jumping in the bed and screaming with delight! We heard a few loud crashes but nothing that alarmed us too badly.
Twenty minutes later, we walked out to survey the damage. Yowzers. Trees (HUGE trees) were split in half, laying throughout the yard, across our house, in the streets. I couldn't believe the damage that had been done in such a short period of time.
Neighbors from the entire block were out, flashlights in hand, walking up and down the street, assessing the damage. It was a bonding experience to say the least. (Perhaps because some of us weren't "dressed for daylight.")
One neighbor lost a mailbox, to which she cleverly and optimistically replied, "Well I guess I can't pay my bills now," which made us all chuckle. I chimed in with a "Does anyone else have a hankering to order a pizza?! I am starving!!" Believe it or not, pizza did sound incredibly appealing, considering the stress we all had just been through.
The reports say that this could last for several days. What?! This is nuts!
And did you know that if you live on the well, when you lose power your water service fails, too?! Yup. Which means no showers or working toilets for the Gilberts. This is going to be fun!!
I am starting to get a pretty good understanding of how the pioneers must have felt. No TV to entertain Ava. No power to cook, do laundry or vacuum (shucks!). Groceries (purchased yesterday, ironically) are all spoiling rotten in our refrigerator.
It sort of makes me wish we had already purchased that minivan. Heck, we could be spending the entire day in there—watching movies, sitting in air conditioning, charging our cell phones, eating from drive-thru's nonstop, camping out in there during the night. It could have been a mini-staycation!
It seems like all that we can do now is wait—wait for electricity, wait for the tree-removal businesses to start picking up their phones and coming out to help, and wait for all of this to just blow over (no pun intended).
Given the aforementioned hiccups and misfortunes, I must say how thankful I am that we are all okay. I have yet to hear of any close friends having any major issues. We are far luckier than folks in Joplin and Japan. I am definitely going to look on the bright side of the situation and make the best of it. So we lost a few gorgeous, gigantic, picturesque trees. It's nothing that can't be replaced (so long as we're prepared to wait 60 years or so).
With that said, FREE firewood at our house! Make sure to bring your own chainsaw!

Gary M. Starr has his ducks in a row. And on the ceiling, and everywhere else you look in his Weybridge studio."It's almost bred into me," he said.He opened his business, Starr Decoys, 25 years ago. Cutting carving and painting decoys of birds from basswood, a local, soft hardwood.Birds are in his blood. Starr's grandfather was an expert bird watcher and his father started collecting decoys in 1947, the year Gary was born. "As early as I can remember there were probably 1,000 duck decoys in the house," he said.His father's impressive collection was featured in books and even National Geographic. "This here is the back room of my father's house," he pointed out.Starr carved his first decoy when he was nine. But this wasn't always his full time job. He earned a degree in hospitality from Cornell and made decoys on the side -- never to sell. When he was 40 both of his parents died from cancer and Starr knew he wanted to spend more time with his family. "It was time for a change and I always enjoyed doing the decoy carvings, so I said this would be a good time to see if it could work," he said.And it did. Now his biggest seller is bird ornaments. With 66 different designs in production, he sells several thousand a year. Reporter Gina Bullard: What do you think your dad would think? Gary M. Starr: I think he'd be very pleased.He touches each ornament a minimum of 30 times throughout the process. "This is a way to keep up my love of carving -- make a living -- so it makes sense to keep doing it," Starr said.And the ornaments aren't supposed to look exactly like the bird. Starr said it's more about showing a defining character. Reporter Gina Bullard: If you were a bird ornament, which one would you be? Gary M. Starr: I sort of like the Belted Kingfisher. He's a brazen bird.Reporter Gina Bullard: What about me. Which bird am I? Gary M. Starr: I'd go with the Scarlet Tanager -- It's a Vermont bird. They're quite often up in the top trees -- an upper canopy bird -- very attractive, very showy but being in the tops of trees they don't show off. Reporter Gina Bullard: Okay, I like that.A craftsman carving out a niche that's Made in Vermont.

A manhole explosion in Forest Hills and streets narrowed by snow helped create a traffic nightmare in JP on Friday morning.
Motorists and bus passengers reported significant delays in different parts of JP, from Huntington Avenue to Centre Street, Spring Park Avenue and the Jamaicaway.
One person reported it taking an hour to drive from the Monument to the Curley School. A bus passenger said she was stuck for 90 minutes.
Police say an accident on Huntington, combined with the snow-narrowed roadways, were probably to blame.
On Huntington Avenue, buses had a paper-thin margin to pass each other. A city crew came with a dump truck to remove snow.
The day began with an explosion at Tower and Washington in Forest Hills. Around 6 am, smouldering wires may have ignited sewer gas, lifting a manhole cover off, said NStar spokesman Michael Durand.
The blast left 160 customers without power, Durand said. By 2 pm, all but 10 had power restored.
The Boston Globe reports that traffic signal lights went out in JP and Roslindale because of malfunctioning equipment in manholes.
But the city's Transportation Department said no Forest Hills traffic signal outages were reported to them or showed up on their internal systems.
"As far as we know, the traffic lights never actually went out in the Forest Hills area," said spokesperson Tracey Ganiatsos.
A signal in Roslindale Square did need reprogramming Friday morning. She said confusion over the traffic lights in Forest Hills could have developed because police officers were manually directing traffic.
[Editor's note: Thanks, Twitter friends, for the direct message updates to @JPPatch. Please keep them coming. Also, I originally had the wrong day listed.]

Three truck-loads of Christmas decorations are being taken to soldiers in Afghanistan. They were donated following an appeal by a sergeant's wife - who was worried that December wouldn't be festive enough for the troops.
Lisa Ferris, from Ripon in North Yorkshire, emailed companies around the country for help. One in Liverpool agreed to give hundreds of decorations - and deliver them too.
You can see the full report from Jonny Blair below.

PERRY, GA (WALB) - Georgia runoff elections are here and candidates are pulling out all the stops. Alaska Governor Sara Palin is in Georgia to campaign for Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss.
She made stops in four cities Monday urging voters to help Chambliss hold on to his seat in the senate. She was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd at the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry Monday afternoon.
The crowd at the Georgia National Fairgrounds swelled to more than three-thousand. While many Republicans already support Senator Saxby Chambliss, they came from southwest and middle Georgia to see the republican party's new star.
"We wanted to see Sarah. We've seen Saxby before," said Joe Shiver of Sylvester.
"I think she tells it like it is, regardless of who it affects," said Joan Cash of Doerun.
"She's a big draw, but the main thing we're here for is to get Saxby back in that Senate," says Jerry Swift of Hawkinsville.
They planned to do that waving signs of, "Read my lipstick vote for Sax" and energizing people to vote. The cheers as Alaska Governor Sarah Palin took the stage were long and loud. Palin got right to the point explaining the national importance of this run off and pointed out everyone will be watching to see what Georgia voters do.
"See Georgia I hope that you understand it's not just about your state, it's about the entire United States of America and our future," Palin said. "See, if our new President and Congress seek to raise taxes for instance we need the Senator from Georgia to vote no on a nonsensical tax hike for you and all of our citizens.
Palin explained sending Chambliss back to Washington is a chance for the Republican party to renew its hope with voters and make sure Chambliss' vote for them counts in Washington.
"That one vote, his vote could make the difference for all of you and make the difference in the entire U.S. economy," said Palin.
Chambliss says the next 24 hours are critical. "We need 41 votes in the Senate to make sure that it is a filibuster proof Senate and it's just critically important that this election be won and be held in republican hands."
Four weeks since the election and after four stops across the state with Palin he feels confident and energized as voters head to the polls.
This wasn't Sarah Palin's first trip to Georgia. She was here eight months ago when her son graduated from boot camp at Ft. Benning.

The Kansas Supreme Court unanimously decided to indefinitely suspend the law license of former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline, best known for aggressively attacking Planned Parenthood and abortion-provider George Tiller after being elected. Tiller was later killed by an anti-abortion activist.
In its 154-page decision, the court found that Kline committed 11 violations of the Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct while in office.
While acting as Attorney General, the court found that he committed professional misconduct when he ordered his staff to attach sealed documents in direct violation to a Supreme Court order, then demanded they present "misleading" information about what they had done when questioned about the earlier order.
The court also found that while Johnson County District Attorney, Kline repeatedly lied about how his office obtained confidential patient records while it was vigorously prosecuting Planned Parenthood clinics in and around Kansas City. As the county's district attorney, Kline filed 107 criminal charges against the clinic, accusing it of performing illegal abortions and altering its record to hide the fact it was doing so.
"Kline's inability or refusal to acknowledge or address their significance is particularly troubling in light of his service as the chief prosecuting attorney for this State and its most populous county," the Supreme Court wrote.
All of the charges were dropped, the last in 2012.
In addition to the violations directly related to actions falling within the purview of his job, the court also found that Kline's appearance on Fox News's "The O'Reilly Factor" during the host's "Tiller the Baby Killer" campaign to discuss his ongoing investigation of George Tiller constituted official misconduct.

New advice on opium-based drugs
5:00am Wednesday 23rd May 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
People suffering long-term illnesses with a high level of pain are not receiving the relief they need from doctors unsure when to prescribe strong drugs, a medical body said.
Patients suffering from chronic or incurable illnesses are also exacerbating the problem because they are wary about long-term use of opium-derived painkillers because of possible side-effects and addiction, according to the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).
It is issuing new guidance to ensure "safe and consistent" prescription of opioids such as morphine, which is said are often the only adequate form of pain relief for people suffering from diseases and disorders such as cancer, heart failure and motor neurone disease.
Professor Mark Baker, director of Nice's Centre for Clinical Practice, said: "Many people with chronic or advanced conditions will experience a high level of pain which can only be treated by opioids such as morphine as weaker forms of pain relief will no longer be effective.
"However, we understand that patients can be anxious about using these medicines for a number of reasons. Likewise, healthcare professionals may not always be sure about when to prescribe certain types of opioids. The new guideline aims to address all those fears and provide clear advice to the NHS to ensure a consistent approach to treatment and ultimately help to drive up standards of care."
Nice said that each year 300,000 people are diagnosed with cancer in the UK and it is estimated that there are 900,000 people living with heart failure. Others live with chronic illness such as kidney, liver and respiratory disease, and with neurodegenerative conditions.
The guidelines focus on talking to patients suffering high levels of pain about their concerns and recommends a frequent review of how effective doses are and any side-effects they are suffering, which typically include constipation, nausea and drowsiness.
"Until now, there has been little guidance regarding the safe prescribing of opioids," said Professor Mike Bennett, St Gemma's professor of palliative medicine at the University of Leeds and a member of Nice's Guideline Development Group.
"Despite increased availability of these medicines, pain from advanced conditions remains under-treated. This can be due to a variety of reasons such as fears over side-effects or confusion over which opioid treatment would work best.
"This guideline gives clear recommendations and should instigate a real clinical change in the way opioids are prescribed."

Judge Gary Larson has ruled that the National Football League can not suspend Vikings' defensive tackles Pat Williams and Kevin Williams while they appeal their case to the Minnesota Court of Appeals.
Hennepin County District Judge Gary Larson will be issuing his ruling in the StarCaps case involving Pat and Kevin Williams sometime today. Stay tuned right here for reaction after the decision comes down!
Vikes Geek has a very well-done take on how the words of Judge Magnuson today in court may bode very well for the Williams Wall. Highly recommended piece.
Adam Schefter (via ProFootballTalk.com) is reporting that Judge Paul Magnuson will not lift the restraining order until a full hearing can be conducted. Full speed ahead, boys!
A view of how the (much) lesser half views the StarCaps case. Fair warning. . .the forum that this link leads to is populated by what is pretty much the definition of human filth. Enter at your own risk.
Pat and Kevin Williams will be filing a lawsuit today to appeal what their attorney calls "the arbitrary and inequitable administration of the (substance abuse) program." The attorney also points out that the program is "not designed to protect the integrity of the game. It's designed to placate politicians and protect the image of the league." Which, after yesterday's rulings, is obviously true. Stay tuned, folks. I won't be able to address this further until this evening. Discuss amongst yourselves until then.
Hmmmmm. . .maybe this is why nobody from the current case has been suspended yet. And, say. . .didn't I speculate something like this weeks ago? *pats self on back*

WILSON, OK-- Three weeks now and no sign of a missing teenaged girl from Wilson. We've learned she will not be added as an amber alert.
According to Wilson police chief Felix Hernandez, he checked the criteria for an amber alert and since 17-year-old Molly Miller is not believed to have been kidnapped, she doesn't fit the criteria.
That said, authorities are still concerned about her whereabouts.
If you have any information call your local authorities.

---- — NEWBURYPORT — As far as Kids as Peacemakers president and Central Congregational Church pastor Christopher Ney is concerned, what his organization is asking of area youth should be fairly easy.
"We are inviting families to take a week off from violent video games," Ney said.
Described by Ney as a pilot project, Kids as Peacemakers' "A Week Without Violent Video Games and Apps" begins tomorrow and is designed to begin a dialogue between parents and their children about the impact of violent media.
"We are not defining the question," Ney said. "We are not saying that game X-Y-Z is awful and should never be played and that game Q-R-S is what we should be doing. We really are doing this campaign in order to provoke a conversation and to share some information so that parents and kids together can make better choices about how they spend their recreational time."
Moved by the shootings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Conn. last December, Kids as Peacemakers convened a number of community meetings this year to talk about taking action.
"There were a variety of different ideas, some of which had been done in different places and at different times," Ney said. "But, as the conversation evolved, a lot of us began to focus on the media and violence and the potential impact that it has on kids."
But as Kids as Peacemakers began researching the issue, the information they found sent them in a number of different directions.
"There is the argument that violent video games do have an impact on kids," Ney said. "Then there is research that shows there is no impact on kids' development or proclivities towards violence. But, in all of our conversations, we recognize that this is an issue that parents are very concerned about. And one of the concerns is that none of us feel that we have enough information. We don't even know what questions to ask or what issues we should be thinking about."
But the group felt they needed to give it a try and the pilot program was born. The week will kickoff at the Central Congregational Church tomorrow night with a night of board games and a potluck supper and desserts.
Central Congregation Church member Ruth Temperiono has talked her 17-year-old son into taking part, although he doesn't completely understand why it's needed.
"My son doesn't understand why I'm so concerned," Temperiono said. "He said, 'Mom, I'm not going to go around shooting anybody.' But I told him, 'that's not it. You just have to understand where we're coming from. It's very concerning.' When I was growing up, there was Pac-Man and Pong. We didn't have these intense video games that the kids are playing these days."
As the week goes on, participating parents or children ages 13 and older are encouraged to either email or post messages on the Kids as Peacemakers Facebook page a description or picture of what activities they have been doing.
The Facebook page will also provide information on alternative recreational activities such as going to museums or nature preserves, playing traditional games with others and doing some volunteer work. A drawing will also be held each day for gift certificates to local businesses and restaurants such as Macro Polo, Orange Leaf and Amesbury Skate and Sport.
"We figure that will be a little bit of an incentive for the too-cool-for-school crowd," Ney said.
Once the week is over, Kids as Peacemakers will take stock of the program.
"We'll do it for a week and see how it goes," Temperiono said. "With everything that is going on and with all the school shootings and all that, it's very concerning to me and I feel as if we need to regain control over our youth."

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
New and enhanced rail lines are at the core of the Metropolitan Transit Authority's biggest budget ever.
The large budget includes $50 million for developing the "Subway to the Sea," the Westside continuation of the Purple line, which currently ends in the middle of Koreatown. Dubbed one of Metro's priority projects, it would serve Miracle Mile, Beverly Hills, Century City, and Westwood, making an easier commute for many who are tired of being stuck on the 10 and 405 freeways.
Additional projects include $22 million in operational funds for the Expo line, scheduled to open in November, which connects downtown L.A. to Culver City, as well as funds for construction of the second phase of the Expo line, the Crenshaw line, the Regional Connector, and an Orange line extension.
Don't fret. According to the MTA, this year's budget does not have an operating deficit. Recent cutbacks in lines and operation hours allowed the budget to be balanced.

Raiders sign a plethora of lbs in the offseason, draft a very athletic OLB in Sio Moore that they put his hand in the dirt even when coaching him in the Senior Bowl and neglected the DT and DEs until late flyers.
But where are the large 5 tech DEs, and who is the NT? Andre Carter isnt a 3/4 DE, Vance Walker a NT, ummmm, Pat Sims maybe? I think the LBs fit but Burris vs large Tackles scares me. Roach and Burris inside, with Maiava and Hunter/ Moore outside?
Anyone sold on a 3/4 base right now, or will DA stick with the 4/3? Anyway, I'm suprised there isnt more chatter on the topic, thoughts?

Remember Me
CRYSTAL FALLS—All season, Forest Park fans have been waiting for this Friday. All season, North Dickinson fans have, too. The waiting ends Oct. 4 when the unbeaten Trojans host the unbeaten Nordics at Dick Mettlach Field in a battle for the top spot in U.P. Division 8 and playoff home field advantage.
The Trojans went to 5-0 overall Sept. 27 by knocking North Central from the ranks of the unbeaten on the Jets' own field. Forest Park scored the first 35 points of the game on their way to a 35-8 win. "Defensive, we played very well," Coach Bill Santilli said. "Offensively, we sputtered a little early. But once we got some momentum, we played well." Neither offense could get much going in the first quarter of a hard-hitting game. The Trojans drove deep into the North Central end but lost the ball on downs at the Jets 13. Then, the first big play, courtesy of the Trojans' Jeff Johnson just before the teams changed ends: Johnson crashed in on North Central QB Rob Granquist as he went back to pass. "It was a nice play," said Santilli. "He reached around, punched the ball as he was tackling the quarterback and fell on it" at the Jets 11. That play ended the first quarter. On the first play of the second quarter, Johnson handed off to Lee Graff, who scored from 11 yards out. Graff's two-point run put the Trojans up 8-0. After the Trojans stopped North Central on fourth down, FP's offense came back to score on Austin Snell's 41-yard run. The run failed, but the Trojans led 14-0 at halftime. The Jets' offense is focused on Granquist's skills. "Their offensive line plays really well," Santilli said, "And Granquist sees the field so well. He's got a quick release and a nice touch. He can throw on the run and had a couple of keepers that got around the edge." North Central did not run a single running play in the first quiarter. In the second quarter, end Travis Vincent made a leaping, one-handed catch of a Granquist pass for 28 yards. "The absolute best catch I've ever seen a high school kid make," Santilli said the next day. Still, the Trojans led 14-0, and the Trojans went into ball control mode in the second half. An 11-play drive, all on the ground, ended with Graff scoring on a 20-yard run. Johnson's two-pointer to Snell put the Trojans up 22-0. After the defense got the ball back on downs, the Trojans scored on the second play, a 55-yard pass from Johnson to Billy Ragio. 28-0. Kezerle scored on a 3-yard run midway through the fourth quarter, and Brett Smithson's extra point kick made it 35-0 and started the running clock. The Jets ended the shutout with 2:37 left when Granquist passed to Vincent for a 5-yard TD pass and the two-pointer. Final: 35-8. "Our defense played well the whole game," Santilli said. "North Central didn't punt in the second half—they went for it every time. But the momentum had shifted our way, and we were basically trying to run the clock out." It was a hard-hitting battle, but Santilli reported no injuries going into the showdown against the Nordics. Team stats: Forest Park, 361 total yards (46-306 rushing, 1-8-55 passing), North Central, 282 total yards (14-83 rushing, 14-34-199 passing). First downs: FP 11, NC 10. Rushing: Lee Graff, 23-155; Austin Snell, 14-125; Raymond Tomasik, 4-13. Passing: Jeff Johnson, 1-8-55, 1 TD. Receiving: Billy Ragio, 1-55. Defense (tackles-assists): Graff, 9-2; Adam Hilberg, 3-5; Zach Aberly, 3-4; Connor Kezerle, 5-0. Strip+sack+fumble recovery: Johnson. Interception: Ragio. • 5-0 Forest Park hosts 5-0 North Dickinson this Friday at Dick Mettlach Field. What more needs to be said? Last year, the Nordics dominated at ND, winning 55-27.Trojans 0 14 14 7 -- 35Jets 0 0 0 8 -- 8
